i just saw that BYU has 3 more 4* recruits than we have for this year I wonder if any of them would think about coming here

Never been a big Self fan, but after sleeping through the first half against a weaker team, the Jayhawks sure hit the open man, sometimes 3-4 times in a possession and they ended up winning going away at home. I was very impressed with that team. We would match up well with them though.

There are 5 ACC teams ranked in the top 12. This doesn't include UNC's loss today, but they were 9, so I don't expect them to drop further than 15 or so.

1. UVA
4. Duke
9. Carolina
10. Louisville
12. Miami

The second tier are all ranked between 24-53.

24. Notre Dame
27. Pitt
33. Fla St.
36. Syracuse
53. Clemson

Everybody else is way down the list.

I know that things will change as the season goes on, but these tiers are pretty close to my expectations. Maybe NC St in the 2nd tier, Clemson in the 3rd tier, etc., but I mostly agree. Overall, the ACC is have a pretty good OOC season. It just drives me absolutely crazy that we couldn't beat the Big 10 this year.

Tre Harbison has over 300 yards rushing and 7 TDs in playoff game.

Can I get a scouting report. All the high school tapes look good, but that means little. Forget Matt Johns, I've seen him, just nick Johns, turtle and Abramson.

After all his recognition as ACC recruiter of the year at least a couple of times... And what I perceive was pretty good work with the secondary, is there no merit in keeping him? Thought he was highly coveted when we hired him. Not so much advocating but just wondering...

Through his first 3 games Kyle Guy is averaging 24.3 points per game, 3.7 rebounds per game, and 4.3 assists per game. He is 24 of 40 for 60% from the field. Through his first 10 games Jay Huff is averaging 15.7 points per game, 8.7 rebounds per game, and 3.9 blocks per game. Ty Jerome's team won Wednesday night 75-49. Ty scored 28 points on 10 for 19 shooting, including 7 for 11 from deep. He had 6 rebounds and 4 assists. He reportedly scored 35 tonight as Iona Prep suffered its first loss, but I have not been able to find any details. Friend's Central with Deandre Hunter won tonight 72-43. Hunter reportedly had a very good game, but I have not been able to obtain any further information.

So, credit HooDaves for mentioning this to me earlier and getting my mind focused on it but Ruffin McNeil and Robert Anae worked together at Texas Tech. So, could they work together again?

As we now know, UVa has most of its defensive slots filled but still needs a defensive line coach and (depending on how Bronco assigns Kelly Poppinga) a linebacker's coach too perhaps. Well, per this story from October, McNeil and Anae are pretty tight given their backgrounds. I'll add that as of yet, I have no sources chiming in. This is just good ole speculation and rumor.

Will be interesting to see if McNeil joins UVa's staff because it would be an intriguing match...

Harris making his first career start tonight!

Good to see Harris getting some pt for the Vikings

jarred Uthoff. Wow. He is sick this year. I recall us recruiting him.

that Stanford and UVA are at the top of his list.

UVA went on their run? He might not have scored to my knowledge, but he played defense and handled the ball better than normal. Just a thought.

In the wake of the news that Bronco Mendenhall would be UVa's next head coach, All-American safety Quin Blanding said he thinks its a move that not only excites the community but also will bring a lot of fun to the Cavalier defense.

In this video interview, Blanding talks about his memories of playing BYU, what he sees in Mendenhall's defensive scheme, the energy he thinks the new coach will bring, and how much he's looking forward to sitting down and talking football with his new head coach.

I know we were looking at him in 2018 class. Sounds like a heavy UNC lean with an offer in hand. Does this help us with anyone else??ie Coleman etc???

Malcolm is the best player, but Perrantes makes our team work. When he's running the offense, our shot selection is better, we play with a higher rate of efficiency and most importantly, we control the tempo.

I normally don't get this fired up about an individual subplot of the team, but it's just SOOOO apparent to me that the difference between us being a 2nd tier ACC team and a legitimate national championship contender is LA Swag.

I really hope that CTB looks to recruit similar "pass first" point guards in the next few classes.

Great stuff from Yahoo! Sports and Jeff Eisenberg on UVa's win over West Virginia and the role London Perrantes played in it.

Per Taft Coghill of the Free Lance-Star, Courtland head coach J.C. Hall says three-star ATH Nick Grant hasn't heard from UVa since the hiring of Bronco Mendenhall and is therefore opening things up because he "doesn't want to get behind the 8-ball." I reached out to Grant the night of the announcement and never heard anything back, which makes sense. We'll have to see how this one plays out.

When standout junior running back Taquan Mizzell got a chance to hear from new UVa coach Bronco Mendenhall, it was like music to his ears.

In this video interview, he talks about his and his teammates reaction when they heard the news about Mendenhall's hiring, about what he thinks of his new coach, about the importance of working hard and being ready, why he thinks Mendenhall fits what the Cavaliers need and why he said, "I'm fired up to see what's next."
