"I can't shake the feeling that Virginia is a year away from reaching its potential. And what might that be? I look
at the amount of talent London and his staff have accumulated and see the foundation for an ACC run: UVa has
plus-talent at quarterback, running back, receiver and all throughout the defense, with the only issue for 2013
being that nearly every meaningful contributor stands a season away from a breakthrough. Make sense? I look at
this roster and see sophomores at key spots, juniors at others, and wonder if this season might be a let's-get-better
year in advance of a potentially huge season for the Cavaliers in 2014."
— USA Today's Paul Myerberg, who ranked the Cavs No. 78 in his top 125 countdown
"The Cavs could have a potentially high-productive offense if the staff can choose the right QB from three solid
candidates. Look for more smash-mouth football. With a new aggressive scheme, [Eli] Harold, Jake Snyder and Mike
Moore could become one of the ACC's most productive groups at end."

"Mizzell is arguably the most celebrated in-state signee at running back for Virginia since Terry Kirby. He has the
speed and elusiveness to do for the Cavaliers offense what C.J. Spiller did for Clemson from 2006-09."
