Alas, she also set the WNBA record for turnovers
With some time off and some added talent to the team, I believe she will do better next year.

We also may need to move him to dual-threat in our next rankings update...

UVa’s home game against BC on 10/5 will kick off at Noon on ACC Network.

Katie had held off on her decision far longer than most who commit in the Fall of their junior high school years these days (way too early for me, but I'm old school).

She waited until after the Paris Games and will join UVA for the Spring semester - in time to help the Hoos (knock on wood) win their 5th straight NCAA title.

Thunder through the swimming world today - and you can see the faces fall of every team hoping the Hoos would fade.

Mic drop for DeSorbo and the coaching staff. Amazing.

On Episode 581 of the CavsCorner Podcast (“Upside Down Voodoo”), we look back at UVa’s first four games of the season and then turn our attention to Saturday’s matchup against BC.

Three-star QB Ely Hamrick (2026) looks back on his decision to commit to UVa and talked to @Dylan Callaghan-Croley about why in retrospect it was such an easy call to make.

Gotta tell you I have a lot of $$ on Miami tonight. I thought they would absolutely roll this VT team. Not going down like that at all. Very impressive play by VT unfortunately. They have way more plus athletes than we do.

When the 2 big conferences were looking to expand, they really only glanced at the ACC. Yes, there were contractual issues, but they looked at only Clemson and FSU as being national championship quality. Well, FSU has been awful, and Clemson is looking weak with a blowout loss to Georgia (I know it's Georgia) and no resounding wins over quality teams. The next two teams being considered were UNC and UVA. We are who we are and will take time to build a reputation, and UNC looks bad with a loss to Duke after losing to JMU.
I just saw where a Michigan grad pledged multi-millions to recruit the best quarterbacks with virtually no requirements for receiving the NIL The top 8 athletes now all receive over $2,000,000 for this year, The highest, Deion's son, gts $5,100,000.with $3,000,000 or more for each of the top 4. And it has just started.
We need to get in the game, or join with the other programs in essentially a minor league system. I'd like the former, but as long as we fully realize the cost or additional profit of either decision, I guess we go with it.

Four-star center Cody Peck (2026) talked to @HoustonWilson about his recent trip to UVa and what stood out about the visit.

Friday Night Standouts: @Dylan Callaghan-Croley takes a look at how various future UVa playmakers performed in their HS games.

Jason Hammond just posted on twitter that he will having shoulder surgery and is out for the rest of the year. He was injured Saturday at Coastal Carolina.

Abello scored the only geal.

First time in a long time, after following this team since I was a 10 year old in 1956, that I am excited about their prospects. This Daniels kid is for real and they turned him loose tonight! The Dan Snyder doldrums are finally over., When this team gets some DBs that can actually run and cover they will be dangerous.

I just read on the University of Virginia site that the cross country team is participating in the Nuttycombe Invitational. In my senior year at Newport News High School, Charles Nuttycombe was hired to teach and coach. He had served in the military and then graduated from Randolph Macon College in 1956 where he lettered in football, basketball , and track. and was hired by NNHS that fall. He coached football and track at NNHS and Menchville High School. He led the football team to an undefeated season in 1962 and led track teams to 14 state championships.
On Saturdays he would bring his three toddler sons and babysit while coaching. One of those sons was Edward Nuttycombe, who went on to have a distinguished career as an athlete and coach. The Nuttycombe Invitational was started by Ed, who is now retired.

On Episode 580 of the CavsCorner Podcast (“Not An Avatar”) we talk about UVa’s win at Coastal via our Categories segment before turning our attention to hoops where the Wahoos added a key commit and now have a schedule.
