Tony Bennett is still looking around, possibly seeking to add another player to the 2010-11 recruiting class. Bennett already has about thirty new kids in that class, so what’s another one?
I’d be pretty surprised if Bennett actually signed someone else. There are six kids coming in as first-years this fall, and I can’t imagine they’ll More >

Over at Dear Old U.Va., Ben takes a very interesting look at Virginia’s offense, and asks if they are headed in the wrong direction.
I agree with his general observation that sample sizes are too small to draw any grand conclusions. The problem Tony Bennett’s squad is facing is that they really don’t have very many More >
