What Tony Bennett seeks in recruits (UVA Today)

Hoos showing some promise in an otherwise tough start for the ACC (SB Nation)
Richard Johnson of SB Nation wrote about the surprising demise of the ACC in the early weeks of the college football season.

The men’s basketball coaching staff and recent commit Kadin Shedrick, who was in town with his family for his official visit over the weekend, went over to watch Kadin’s sister, Kari, during her softball clinic. Awesome stuff as always from the men’s basketball guys!
