The Morning Edition

The Wolfpack's search appears to be focused on two coaches - West Virginia's John Beilein and former UCLA coach Steve Lavin.

A couple of items that got my interest in this story. First, Beilein plays a similar style offense to that of Herb Sendek. Remember Sendek? The guys fans chased out of town, in part, because his Princeton offense was too boring. The same offense that ACC Nation co-host says can't win a national title. Why select a coach that will run that same offense?

Second, the story mentions the Former NC State player and assistant and current Fordham coach Dereck Whittenburg is the fallback guy if Beilein or Lavin don't take the job. ACC Nation's Patrick Hite has said from the start that Whittenburg should be the guy, not just the fallback guy. But at least Whittenburg, who also did a stint as a Georgia Tech assistant, is in the mix now.

Good story in the Washington Post about Maryland tight end Vernon Davis and his relationship with his grandmother.

We all know Davis will be one of the top picks in the draft. But will Marcus Vick, former Virginia Tech quarterback, be selected at all? The guess here, no. And if Miami's Devin Hester is selected will it be to play offense or defense?

Spring football from yesterday. Duke coach Ted Roof seemed happy with his team's performance in the spring game, while Virginia also finished off spring practice with its annual game. One of the keys for the Cavaliers next season may be Jason Snelling. And Georgia Tech got in its final spring practice.

With all the talk about Carolina, Florida State, Miami, Clemson and Georgia Tech in this year's baseball race, don't forget about Virginia. The Cavs have taken the first two games in Miami this weekend.

What's your game? Tennis? Golf? Track? Whichever one it is, this is your weekend.
