Not to steal away from our basketball team's thunder, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Woolfolk try another shot with football.

In baseball, currently he's having a tough year and I'm not sure that's where he has his best future opportunity.

Regardless, just food for discussion.

I watched the NCAA national championship game, and several of the talking heads were stating that Clark could not be considered the best female college player ever if Iowa failed to win the national championship game. Iowa lost after Clark scored 18 points in the first quarter. It was obvious that South Carolina had the best team by a wide margin, and their reserves scored in the vicinity of 36 points while Iowa's bench scored 0. I am not surprised that Clark could not overcome that disparity.

I was really wanting NCSU, but they never really got anything going against Purdue last night. DJ Horne and Ben Middlebrooks seemed the only ones giving it everything they had. McConnell hurting his thigh didn’t help, and Morsell was a no show.

I’m no fan of UConn and their dominance, but I’ll be pulling for them tomorrow. While I have no problem with Purdue or Matt Painter, I like the Big 10 not winning a Natty in 24 years and hope it continues. Even bigger, the redemption story is all ours, I don’t want to share it with Purdue. If they ever win it all, go win it another year when not coming off a 1-16 loss.

Column: Five years ago today, UVa finished off an incredible story in what fans hoped would be the new normal. In the short (and yet also long) time since, much has changed for not only the sport as a whole but for the Wahoos especially.

As great as the Caitlin Clark story has been, good to see Dawn win her 3rd and with an undefeated team!

Saw his ig story thanking virginia.. hoping he would stay and it would be others

Has any of our players entered the portal?

Probably will not become his first win since the leader by 6 (Bhatia) is playing out of his mind, but McCarthy is in the final pairing and after 4 holes today is 3 up on the next closest competitors. Hope he can keep this up going into the Masters.

Both teams had 13 hits, but Carolina had 3 home runs while Virginia had 11 singles and 2 doubles. Jaxel started on the mound for Virginia and gave up 2 runs in the first inning and 4 runs in the second. Virginia scored 3 in the sixth to get a tie at 6 each, but the Heels scored 3 in both the 7th and 8th innings to take the lead for good.
Tonas and Kampschror had good outings in relief. Tonas followed Jaxel and pitched 3.2 innings and gave up 2 hits and no runs. Kampschror pitched the 9th and retired all three batters, two on strike outs.
Whalen had 3 hits for the Cavs, and O'Ferrall, Saucke, Ford, and Anderson each had 2 hits.
This was a disappointing loss, but I think the coaching staff is getting a better idea about whom they can trust on the mound.

Big series win tonight against the Heels. Hopefully they have figured out how to deal with the unfortunate injuries to key members of the pitching staff. Good bats and defense helps, but you still need arms to throw strikes.

Portal Roundup: @HoustonWilson begins a series of stories on players in the portal that UVa is looking to bring in for visits and potential add to its roster. Today we break down where things stand with three players that have heard from the Hoos.

Blanco started and pitched 6.1 innings and gave up both Heel runs on 2 solo home runs by Honeycutt. Osinski came in relief and allowed a single to the only batter that he faced. Coady came out of the bull pen and pitched the last 2.2 innings in which he allowed just one single. Virginia jumped out to a three run lead in the first when Didawick hit a home run with Saucke and Ford on base. Carolina narrowed the lead to 3-1 in the third on the first of Honeycutt's homers and to 3-2 on his second home run in the sixth inning. Anderson led off the seventh with a home run, and the Cavs added two more runs in the inning when a single by Saucke drove in Hanson and O'Ferrall who had each walked. Anderson hit another lead off home run in the eighth inning to end the scoring.
Anderson was 3 for 4 with his two solo home runs, Saucke was 2 for 4 with 2 RBI, and Didawick was 1 for 3 with his three run home run.
Blanco was credited with the win, and Coady got his first save with Virginia.

I always come away impressed with TE after hearing his media conferences. He knows each position intricately, as probably most head coaches do, but seems to take it to another level. He is very open with the media on what he sees and what needs improvement, inclusive of coaching. I think it's very refreshing to hear more than simple one line coach speak interviews.

I'm hopeful that, now in his 3rd year, the coaches and players are more in sync with the routines, expectations, fundamentals, etc. such that they can take coaching to another level beyond year 1 - deer in headlights for coaches and players, year 2 - overcoming adversity and building off year 1 teaching/routines and now year 3 - building off of an established culture. Fingers crossed.

The early pitchers for both team struggled with control. The Heels got the lead in the first when they loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batter before two scored on a double. Virginia answered in the bottom of the inning on a single by O'Ferrall, a hit batter and a walk and a grand slam into the bull pen by Ford. Another walk and a two run home run by Hanson gave Virginia a 6-2 lead. Two walks followed by two singles by UNC in the second inning narrowed the lead o 6-4. Carolina added seven runs in the third inning on two walks and six hits to take a 11-6 lead. Six of the Heels first eight runs were scored by batters who had been walked.
Virginia narrowed the lead in the fourth on a solo home run by Becker (his first collegiate homer). Virginia added three more runs in the fifth, and a solo home run by Ford in the sixth tied the score at 11. In the eighth inning Virginia took the lead on Ford's third home run of the game. A walk and doubles by Ference and Anderson gave Virginia two more insurance runs.
Barker was the third Virginia pitcher when he came with two outs in the third inning. He got the final out and then pitched shut out ball in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings. Osinski pitched the seventh and got one out in the eighth; after giving up a hit, he was replaced by Tonas, who struck out the only batter he faced. Augustin replaced Tonas and retired the last four Carolina batters.to earn the win.
Ford provided the offensive spark for the Cavs with his three home runs and six RBI as Virginia scored 14 runs on just 10 hits.

With UVa’s Spring Game drawing closer, @justin ferber breaks down several takeaways and storylines for the Hoos thus far this spring.

Today @justin ferber breaks down five key thoughts related to UVa’s roster construction, the work that must be done heading into next season, and why having fewer spots to work with will likely make that much harder.

On Episode 556 of the CavsCorner Podcast (“Portal Drought”), we dive into UVa’s lack of portal entries thus far, what that does and doesn’t mean for the Hoos, how we see the landscape continuing to shift, and much more.

Not just saying this because he’s a Hoo, but absolutely love what the Commanders have done over the last few weeks. After 25+ years it feels like we finally have ownership and a front office that knows what they’re doing.

Ton of free agent signings, that will probably result in 8-10 starters, not even including special teams, where upgrades were made as well. All reasonable contracts, and still have a mountain of cap space.

Next step is the draft where we have 6 picks in the top 100, and another probably 4-5 starters. The #2 pick will be a QB…likely Daniels or Maye. Other early picks need to focus on OT & DB.

Culture of a severely damaged organization won’t get fixed overnight, but I do have hope for the first time since the night RG3 got injured that we might actually contend in my lifetime again.

Interesting list. Doesn’t include private schools but nice to see we are ahead of plenty of SEC and B1G schools and 2nd in the ACC.

It would also be interesting to see where we’d fall in a football and basketball only ranking. I imagine we are probably not as concentrated as mamy other schools. Pretty sure we are near (or at?) the top in NIL for multiple non-revs

Carnevale scored 5 goals and Hoeg added 4 to allow reserves to play a good portion of the second half.

Both teams went deep into the bullpen. After six innings neither team had scored on a total of five hits. Virginia finally broke through in the 7th inning when after two outs, Anderson was hit by a pitch and came home on a single by Hanson. The Cavs added three insurance runs in the 8th. Ferrence and Saucke led off the inning with solid singles. After a sacrifice bunt by Didawick, they both scored on a triple by Ford into right field. Ford then scored on a single by Godbout to reach the final score.
Savino, Barker, Woolfolk, Osinski, Kampschror, Augustin, Coady, and Teel pitched for Virginia. Only Coady, who was the winning pitcher, went as long as two innings. He struck out all six batters that he faced.
Ford, Goutbout, and Hanson each had two of Virginia's eight hits.

Three-star CB Aydan West talked to @Dylan Callaghan-Croley about his recent trip down to UVa, his plans to return for an official visit in June, and what stands out about the Hoos.

Is this really going to happen?
Filipowski fouls out, NC State up up 56-44 with 4:45 left?

While having great guard play is essential to getting to the final 4, each of the remaining teams have a center that is a significant scoring presence. Something UVA hasn't had for at least the past 4 years. I think Buchanan can get there by his 3rd and 4th year.

Coming off a strong sophomore season, in-state 2026 guard Styles Clemmons talked to @HoustonWilson about a recent trip to Charlottesville and what stood out about UVa.
