"Today Maverik Lacrosse added University of Virginia lacrosse great and Denver attackman Chris Bocklet to its elite roster of lacrosse representatives." "I am extremely excited to be a member of the Maverik team" said Bocklet. "Clearly an innovator in the lacrosse industry, I am proud to now be a part of their growth. One thing that separates Maverik from the rest are the people involved. Growing up I have formed some close friendships with great people through Maverik Lacrosse. I could not be more excited to officially join the Maverik family."

SB Nation's Bill Connelly previews the 2012 Wahoo football squad, using a favorable comparison against the Washington Huskies, picked by many as a Top-25 team. Be sure to check out UVA's statistical profile, linked atop the post, for all sorts of fun projections, charts, and graphs. Still, he concludes with a statement that I think sums it all up: "They are as much of an unknown in 2012 as they were in 2011." Great.

SI.com takes an in-depth look at Virginia DB Wonman Joseph Williams, who had earlier this year joined in the hunger strike as part of the UVA Living Wage Campaign. However you feel about the campaign, this (very long) article is worth reading, about the struggles of a student-athlete at a top university who decided to take a stand, the pressures that mounted, and what all that entailed.

Tiki joins the folks over at Black Shoe Diaries to answer some easy and hardball questions on this year's Cavalier Football squad. He also skirts the question of whether or not he is a member of the 7 society. Also, can someone please explain to me why Tiki's "word association" response to Tiki Barber was, "Reverse Anne Frank"? I feel like I should know this.

It's not just those wearing orange-and-blue glasses who are excited about next year's UVA basketball first-year class. Drew Cannon of Basketball Prospectus has high expectations for Justin Anderson, Evan Nolte, and Mike Tobey, all members of the ESPNU Top 100. Cannon projects the stats we will see next season from each of the three future Hoos (and other new ACCers) in this post on KenPom's site. None of them are expected to eclipse Mike Scott's 100% shooting percentage (or something) from last season, but I'll take it. Hat tip to @rmj_equals_hero for passing this along!

Former UVA star Mike Scott is the first prospect listed in SI.com's most underrated NBA draft guys. You've heard it before: on the plus side, he can score from all over the place. On the downside, he's old and has a bum left ankle.

Hultzen continues to rack up the accolades as he did last year! Danny was named to this year's Futures Game which will be held Sunday, July 8th (national holiday). His appointment marks the first time a UVa alum has been asked to play in the game!
