"To say that I'm proud of our team is an understatement. We have something special happening in C'ville. In due time." — Tweet from redshirt third-year quarterback KURT BENKERT after UVA's last- second 32-25 loss to then-No. 5 Louisville Oct. 29; his post was retweeted 115 times and received 518 favorites "Expect [London] Perrantes to increase his scoring this year, as well, in an effort to make up for what the team lost in [Malcolm] Brogdon and [Anthony] Gill. He's been working on being a more aggres- sive shooter all over the floor after relying on his perimeter shot last season, when he led the ACC by making 48.8 percent of his three- pointers. Perrantes has also been working in practice to get his younger teammates to adopt a more aggressive shooting mental- ity." — The Washington Post's Ava Wallace on London Perrantes "I think we have a very strong class. I think the coaches did a good job recruiting and getting more length and size, and hopefully they can continue to get more talent. But I think we can have a huge impact on the season. I have high expectations for myself and our class and the team overall." — First-year guard Jocelyn Wil- loughby on the rookie class for wom- en's basketball that also features guard Dominique Toussaint, 6-9 center Feli- cia Aiyeotan and 6-3 forward Lisa Jablonowski; Willoughby and Tossaint were both named Ga- torade Player of the Year in their home states as seniors HOO'S TALKING PHOTO BY MATT RILEY /COURTESY UVA
