Update on one Football Transfer Commit

UVa has announced nearly all of their spring portal window additions as signed, with one notable omission.

Colorado RB Isaiah Augustave was an early commit this spring, and while he did indeed make his pledge to UVa and seemingly hasn’t visited elsewhere, we’re hearing this one might not work out. We’ll see what happens, of course, but wanted to give a heads up.

UVa ended up taking another RB in the portal (Wyoming’s Harrison Waylee), so they should be covered at the position regardless, but if they take another RB, that’s probably a pretty big sign that Augustave isn’t going to make it in.

CavsCorner and On3/Rivals

Good morning everyone,

Just wanted to drop a quick note and announce that when the On3 acquisition of Rivals goes through in about a month (officially as of July 1), CavsCorner will continue on as the UVa site on the new network and there will be no changes to your subscriptions. We’re in a long-term agreement with On3 and excited about the future ahead both for our site but also the revamped roadmap.

What will change, though, is a lot of the technology around the site/network, which will get demonstrably better, and the overall value of a subscription as On3 adds all of its content into the stream for sites like ours.

Rivals will be the high school recruiting home and On3 will be the college and national home. Our sites will pull in content from all sides with the benefit of a slew of additional regional and national staff who you will see quite often on our site and board.

Obviously, we’re really excited to be a part of this effort and can’t wait to see it all come together. If you have any additional questions, feel free to email me: Brad.Franklin@me.com.

Thanks everyone and as always, Go Hoos!

Football Spring Transfer Portal Thread (Updated 5/19: Johnson Commits)

Starting a thread to track all of UVa's comings and goings now that the portal is back open this morning. UVa has already hosted a couple of visitors from Stanford, whose portal window was already open due to a coaching change, but there will surely be more targets to come, and surely a few players that opt to leave the UVa program and enter the portal. We'll track it all here.

Jordan Robinson (CB, Cincinnati)
Wallace Unamba (OL, Kentucky)
Harrison Waylee (RB, Wyoming)
Makilan Thomas (OL, Arkansas State)
David Wohlabaugh Jr. (OL, Syracuse)

Christian Charles (DB, Tennessee)
Emmanuel Karnley (DB, Miami)
Da'Marcus Cosby (DB, New Mexico State)
Ja'Maric Morris (DB, Georgia State)
Donavon Platt (DB, Army)
Kenan Johnson (DB, Utah)

OT - The difference between softball and baseball

Softball - 1) A regulation game is seven innings, 2) The outfield fences are closer to home plate, 3) There is no safe bag at first base. 4) Unless the ball is hit over a fence, fair or foul, it will continue to be used. 5) Hitters back out of the batter's box about 20 feet after every pitch. 6) After every out, the fielder must get a high five or a butt pat.

I saw an interesting defense for us to be in the baseball tourney; By not being able to play FSU we gave up a chance of raising our RPI 10 pts.

It was some Div I guys interviewing the chairman of the NCAAT selection committee. It's about a half hour long but was really informative on how the committee thinks about RPI rankings, about team placement regionally/geographically, and a bunch of other stuff.

Virginia is mentioned somewhere around the 18 minute time line in the discussion and the chairman says that they've already had a discussion amongst the committee about how Virginia not getting to play FSU in Tallahassee should be taken strongly into consideration if any concerns about our RPI arise.

He said that our RPI would be at least 10 spots higher by playing the series and winning a single game.

He also said that he doesn't believe in RPI should be a primary determining factor when selecting teams.

Sounds promising if we can win in the ACC tourney.

Woolfolk and late surge by hitters give Hoos a 12 - 2 win over Hokies

Woolfolk started and pitched 8 innings. Virginia led 3 - 2 after 7 innings but rallied for 5 runs in the 8th and 4 runs in the 9th. Didawick was 4 for 5, Arroyo was 3 for 5 with a home run, and Hanson was 3 for 4 to lead the Virginia hitters. The team had a total of 20 hits. Virginia was able to rest the bullpen with only Arrington pitching the 9th inning in relief.

Hoops closing in on another international addition?

There's been a lot of buzz today around UVa and Belgian forward Thijs De Ridder (Dave linked his video further down the board)--with some folks that cover international basketball suggesting that he could end up at Virginia. De Ridder is 22 years old and plays in the Spanish league for Bilbao and has represented his country. At 6-foot-8, De Ridder is a solid all-around offensive player and would be another key addition to UVa's frontcourt.

We'll keep you guys posted as this plays out.

Good article + video on UVA Swimming American Record haul and new Walsh World Record(s)

A quick shift of topic from all the good basketball news, football recruiting, baseball's late-season run, golf NCAA's, etc...

Fun analysis of the record-shattering dominance of UVA Women the past 5 years, particularly the Walshes and Douglass, but other major contributors as well.

If you missed it, Gretchen destroyed her own 100 Meter Butterfly World Record a couple weeks ago at a ho-hum pro meet. Actually twice - in prelims (crazy) and finals.

Beating Torri Huske, who barely out-touched her for Olympic Gold last Summer, by 2 seconds.

World Championship Trials are coming up, so look for UVA Women to continue to build presence in long-course competition on the world stage.
