GO HOOS!

Virginia hosts three basketball prospects for official visits this weekend - UVA verbal Sean Singletary, Brewster Academy (NH) 6-7, 200 pound wing forward Adrian Joseph, and 6-9, 225 pound Davis Nwankwo from Georgetown Prep (MD). Nwankwo is likely down to Stanford and Arizona, according to sources, while Joseph has the Cavs as one of his favorite schools along with Maryland, Pittsburgh, Villanova, and Penn State.

UVA football hosts at least two recruits on official visits this weekend - JH Rose (NC) running back Andre Brown and Pottstown (PA) cornerback Chris Gorham. This will be the first visit for Brown, who is also considering Tennessee, Miami (FL), Nebraska, and NC State. Gorham, who visited Notre Dame last weekend, will likely decide among the Irish, Cavaliers, and Georgia Tech.

Another Cavalier target visited Notre Dame last weekend, and that was West Charlotte (NC) cornerback Rod Council. Council enjoyed his visit and now lists Notre Dame as his favorite over UVA (10/18/03 visit), Michigan, and Virginia Tech. He has offers from all four and will visit all four before deciding.

The Cavaliers have still not offered Eddie Royal, the outstanding wide receiver from Chantilly, VA. Royal set his first official visit recently, with the lucky team being Tennessee on December 12th. He will likely make official visits to Virginia Tech and Marshall as well and hopes to use up all five visits. UVA is still heavily recruiting him although he is growing frustrated with no offer.

UVA may be on the outside looking in for Dwayne Hendricks, the talented defensive end from Millsville HS (NJ). Hendricks plans on visiting UVA unofficially for the Virginia Tech game, which is some good news. Miami (FL), Iowa, and Michigan are three schools that will definitely receive official visits.

Montgomery Bell Academy (TN) tight end Tom Santi will visit UVA for the Virginia Tech game on November 29th. Santi likes the Cavs a lot and, though he mentioned that he has not narrowed his list down, was really enthusiastic about Coach Ross and Coach Heck. Santi expects to receive an offer on his official visit. Tennessee and LSU headline the list of teams that have offered so far.

After almost of month of no home football games, the Cavalier return to Scott Stadium tomorrow to face a rising Wake Forest football program.

Jim Grobe, now in his third season as head coach of the Demon Deacons, has resurrected the Wake program. Not long ago, the Deacons were the whipping boys in the ACC, often battling Duke to finish second to last in the conference. Wake had moments of glory here and there, but they never really got off to the type of season they're having this year.

Wake stands at 3-1 on the season. They defeated Boston College on the road, #14 N.C. State at home and just took down East Carolina last weekend. Their only loss was a 16-10 decision to Purdue on ESPN.

The Deacons run an interesting passing offense that's hard to defend, so Virginia's defense is sure to be tested. But, Wake hasn't exactly put up great numbers as yet. They rank 96th in the nation as a passing offense.

Defensively, Wake is still finding itself. They rank 99th in total defense nationally and 109th in passing defense. With the possibility of UVa's Matt Schaub returning at quarterback, the Deacons could find themselves in trouble trying to keep pace with Virginia's ability to score. The key for Wake is to be successful running the ball in order to keep Virginia's offense off the field. That could be tough for Wake. They're ranked 63rd in the nation as a rushing team.

While statistics are great, it doesn't really tell you what will happen on the field. Turnovers could be key in this matchup. But, if the Hoos can keep from handing the ball over to Wake, they should come away victorious, especially if Matt Schaub plays and shows little signs of rust.

Game time for the UVa-Wake contest is 3:30 PM. The game will be televised by ABC. For news, notes and other information on the game, please see the link below.
