Evans' Status Still Uncertain Virginia senior point guard Jontel Evans sat out the men's basketball team's final non-conference game with Wofford on Sunday. Evans has not played since starting in a 46-38 win against Tennessee on Dec. 5. He has played in just 4 games this season for a total of 60 minutes after needing foot surgery in October. During the game with the Volunteers, Evans reportedly "tweaked" the injury and the UVa medical and coaching staffs have been cautious with his rehabilitation since that outing. Reporters asked coach Tony Bennett about Evans' status for the conference opener with North Carolina this week (Sunday, Jan. 6 at 8 p.m. on ESPNU) after the win against Wofford. Bennett said that it was too early to determine if Evans would be available against the Tar Heels and that continued evaluations of the injury's symptoms ultimately would determine when he may be available. Bennett said that no internal discussions have occurred at this time about the possibility of a medical hardship waiver for Evans. Here is a link to The Daily Progress about the situation as well. |

This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Happy Holidays Hoo Fans! TheSabre.com was on hand for Saturday's Chesapeake Bowl, a postseason all-star game pitting the South (standout players from DC, Maryland, and Virginia) versus the North (standout players from Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania). UVa-bound tailback Taquan "Smoke" Mizzell capped off the South's opening drive with a 2-yard touchdown run. The North answered with a tying touchdown before a field goal put the South squad ahead again 10-7. After that, however, it was all North squad, which ended up with a 38-13 win. Following the contest, I caught up with Potomac (Dumfries, VA) defensive tackle Donta Wilkins and West Catholic (Philadelphia, PA) offensive tackle Jaryd Jones-Smith for the latest on their recruitments. Entering last week, Wilkins maintained that he was a Virginia commit but was openly talking about visiting other schools. The 2012 Northwest Region Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year, Wilkins is certainly a big recruit for the Cavaliers. Jones-Smith, a massive prospect at 6'7", 300 pounds, is one of Virginia's top remaining targets. Get the latest on these prospects and more in the latest "Sabre Scoop" article, which is already up on the site and linked below. This week, Virginia fans can watch two future Hoos in action. Gilman (Baltimore, MD) linebacker recruit Micah Kiser will play in the 2013 Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl, which takes place on Friday, Jan. 4, at 3 p.m. ET. This game will be televised on the NFL Network. On Saturday, Wahoo fans should tune in to NBC at 1 p.m. to watch the 2013 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The aforementioned Mizzell will be suiting up in that event. Also this week ...

White On Wrestling VirginiaSports.com's Jeff White provided an update recently on the wrestling team that is worth reading. Read the full article here. I provided the introduction paragraphs below. The team is back in action this coming weekend at the Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tenn.
With final exams under way at the University, the timing wasn't ideal. But for UVa wrestlers Jon Fausey, Jedd Moore, Mike Salopek and Joe Spisak, their trip to Ohio by van last weekend for the Cleveland State Open proved to be worth the effort involved.

Issue No. 357 - Sept. 1, 2008
Renovations Planned at The Park The Virginia Athletics Department has announced plans to enhance and renovate The Park, home of the Cavalier softball team. Construction is under way and the second phase of this project is expected to be completed this fall. The goal of the project is to create a top-level playing field and facility. "This project is in keeping with the athletics department's goals to provide high quality facilities for our teams," said Executive Associate Director of Athletics Jon Oliver. "The work being done at The Park and in the softball locker room is designed to provide the team with improved facilities in which to prepare for competition and play games." Upgrades at The Park include a new playing surface consisting of Patriot Bermuda grass. Renovations will also create a new drainage and irrigation system. The dimensions of the field will also be slightly altered and increase to 210-220-210. Other renovations include new dugouts, bullpens and a second batting cage. Additionally, a new scoreboard and fence will be added. The Virginia softball team will also see its locker room, housed in University Hall, undergo a facelift. The locker room renovation includes new custom lockers and audio-visual capabilities. "The renovations at The Park are a sign of the administration's strong commitment to Virginia softball," said Eileen Schmidt, head softball coach. "The enhancements that will be complete by the 2009 season will help our student-athletes on a daily basis and improve the spectator experience at the Park." The first phase of the project was the installation of lights at The Park. This phase was completed prior to the 2008 season. Read SabreMail No. 357 here. |
