After returning from the College World Series last month, about 20 baseball players from U.Va. scattered to join summer-league teams. Cavaliers coach Brian O&#8217;Connor said yesterday that eight or nine others stayed in Charlottesville. &#8220;There&#8217;s just some pitchers that threw a lot that we don&#8217;t want throwing this summer, so they&#8217;re just to lift here this summer and go to summer school,&#8220; O&#8217;Connor said. &#8220;And there&#8217;s a handful of position players that are rehabbing injuries or things like that.&#8220;           ]]></description>

It&#8217;s taken a while for the pieces to fall into place, but Virginia Commonwealth coach Shaka Smart shored up the Rams&#8217; most pressing need: depth at point guard. With 5-10 Joey Rodriguez deciding to return and the recent signing of 5-11 Issiah Grayson, Smart will have two small but quick options to replace Eric Maynor, VCU&#8217;s all-time leader in scoring and assists who was the first-round pick of the Utah Jazz in last week&#8217;s NBA draft.           ]]></description>

Former Virginia Commonwealth University star Eric Maynor made the first move of his NBA career a lucrative one, signing a guaranteed contract worth about $2.7 million yesterday with the Utah Jazz. Utah did not release terms of the contract, but first-round draft picks in the NBA are guaranteed two years under the rookie salary scale. Maynor, the 20th pick in last week&#8217;s draft, is due to make about $1.3 million this season and about $1.4 million in his second season under the scale.           ]]></description>

Turns out Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan already knew a member of the Maynor family. He just didn&#8217;t remember it. Sloan, then the coach of the Chicago Bulls, cut George Maynor in 1979. Maynor was the Bulls&#8217; fourth-round pick out of East Carolina. His son, Eric, was Utah&#8217;s first-round pick in Thursday&#8217;s NBA draft. The Jazz took the Virginia Commonwealth University point guard with the 20th pick.           ]]></description>

Unlike many cadets, Christelle Ndongo won&#8217;t be entering into the biggest challenge of her life when she enrolls at VMI this fall. The Rat Line, the uniforms and the discipline don&#8217;t intimidate her. &#8220;Emotionally, it won&#8217;t be hard for me to go to VMI because I&#8217;ve gone through things much harder than that,&#8220; she said. Three years ago, Ndongo (pronounced DON-go) left her family in Cameroon to live in Florida and play basketball. Suffering from homesickness, she then followed her brother Franck, a VCU basketball player at the time and her only family member in the United States, to Richmond.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
LOUISVILLE, Ky.&#8212;Federal prosecutors have charged a Kentucky man with helping an alleged extortion attempt against University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino. Lester Goetzinger is charged with aiding and abetting 49-year-old Karen Cunagin Sypher in her alleged attempt to extort millions from Pitino. Court papers filed late yesterday show prosecutors have reached a deal with Goetzinger that requires him to go through a pretrial diversion program. The deal means charges against Goetzinger will be dismissed after a year if he does not break the law.           ]]></description>

Ronnie Black started off on the right foot on his high jump attempts this season at Virginia Commonwealth University. An ankle injury showed that he really was getting off on the wrong foot. The 6-4&#189; rising sophomore is scheduled to compete in the USA Junior National Track and Field championships this weekend in Eugene, Ore. He&#8217;ll be jumping off his left&#8212;and more natural&#8212;foot while trying to exceed the 6-10&#190; mark he cleared during the season.           ]]></description>

If the state&#8217;s Colonial Athletic Association football members are going to repeat prior feats of beating ACC competition, this may be the season to do it. At least on paper, they have a better shot than usual. In early September, the University of Richmond plays at Duke, William and Mary plays at Virginia, and James Madison plays at Maryland. In the Sporting News College Football preseason magazine, UR is the No. 1 Football Championship Subdivision team. JMU ranks No. 10. W&amp;M checks in at No. 12. Duke is projected as the last-place finisher in the six-team Coastal Division, behind fifth-place Virginia. Maryland is predicted to finish fifth among six Atlantic Division teams.           ]]></description>

Virginia coach Brian O&#8217;Connor, seen tossing batting practice to his team, declined to criticize the umpires after Saturday&#8217;s CWS opener. OMAHA, Neb.&#8212;There was reason to point fingers. On the sport&#8217;s grandest stage, the College World Series, Virginia was victimized by a handful of questionable rulings that helped alter a 9-5 loss to third-seeded Louisiana State.           ]]></description>

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.&#8212;Justin Oliver held on for second place as the anchor in the 1,600-meter relay, giving Texas A&amp;M the men&#8217;s team title at the NCAA track and field championships yesterday. Texas A&amp;M also won the women&#8217;s title, becoming the first school since 1990 to win both outdoor championships. Virginia Tech&#8217;s Kristi Castlin earned a second-place finish in the 100 hurdles with a time of 13.15 while Hampton&#8217;s Francena McCorory crossed the finish line at 50.58, earning third place in the 400.           ]]></description>

Chalk one up for the mentor. Louisiana State, using a pair of mammoth homers, made a winner of coach Paul Mainieri in his reunion with his former assistant, Virginia coach Brian O&#8217;Connor, in its opening game at the College World Series. En route to the 9-5 victory in front of a record-tying crowd of 24,904 at legendary Rosenblatt Stadium, the Tigers pounded a trio of Cavalier pitchers.           ]]></description>

OMAHA, Neb.&#8212;No team came into the NCAA baseball tournament struggling any more than Arkansas. Right now, no team seems better. With Andy Wilkins homering and driving in five runs, Arkansas started off the College World Series with a 10-6 victory over Cal State Fullerton yesterday. The Razorbacks reached a double-digit run total for the fourth time in six games. Nine of their runs scored with two outs.           ]]></description>

Sitting in his downtown hotel room, Andrew Carraway had a moment that was tough to describe. On the eve of the College World Series, Virginia&#8217;s co-captain and elder statesman, finally was broadsided by the magnitude of what Virginia&#8217;s baseball team had accomplished. &#8220;It hit me, I am sitting in a hotel room in Omaha,&#8220; said Carraway, a right-handed pitcher that is 8-1 on the season. &#8220;It is awesome. Every single part of Omaha is awesome. It probably is more than I expected.           ]]></description>

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.&#8212;Spend a few minutes talking with Mike Fox and the North Carolina coach will praise everyone around him, from assistant coaches to office secretaries and groundskeepers. He isn&#8217;t nearly so effusive about his impact on the Tar Heels program. &#8220;I&#8217;m a part of a big group here,&#8220; Fox said. &#8220;Yes, I&#8217;m the head coach.

Emotionally speaking, Louisiana State coach Paul Mainieri was spent. Getting to the College World Series, regardless of expectations, takes a toll on a program&#8217;s skipper. Take into account that top-ranked LSU, a national powerhouse, was coming off a trip to Omaha and considered a lock for the sport&#8217;s ultimate stage, and it becomes understandable how the pressure built before the first pitch of the season was thrown.           ]]></description>

Eight years later, as the University of Virginia baseball team prepares for its first appearance in the College World Series, Dennis Womack has the benefit of perspective. &#8220;I tell you what, that report might have been the best thing that ever happened,&#8220; said Womack, the Cavaliers&#8217; baseball coach from 1981 to 2003. At the time, though, Womack&#8217;s reaction was different. It was April 2001, and the Cavaliers were in Winston-Salem, N.C., for a weekend series with Wake Forest when they heard the news. Back in Charlottesville, a U.Va. task force, alarmed by the rising cost of college athletics, had recommended that the university split its 24 sports into four tiers, with each tier to be funded differently.           ]]></description>

Throughout Brian O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s six seasons as Virginia&#8217;s baseball coach, his top assistants have been Kevin McMullan and Karl Kuhn. To O&#8217;Connor, they don&#8217;t get enough credit for the program&#8217;s success. Virginia plays its opening game in the College World Series on Saturday night against LSU in Omaha, Neb. &#8220;We would not be in the position that we&#8217;re in right now without those two gentlemen,&#8220; O&#8217;Connor said. &#8220;They do all the work. They&#8217;re the ones that go out and find the players. They coach the players. They spend endless hours in this baseball program, and every player that&#8217;s played here in the last six years, and myself as the head coach, are forever indebted to those two men, because they are tireless workers, and they do the real work.&#8220;           ]]></description>

CHARLOTTESVILLE Danny Hultzen&#8217;s record as a pitcher is impeccable&#8212;9-1 with a 2.09 earned run average. His record as a hitter is equally impressive&#8212;.333 batting average with 33 RBI. Those aren&#8217;t bad numbers for a seasoned Atlantic Coast Conference veteran. They are even more impressive for an ACC rookie. Hultzen is a freshman for the University of Virginia Cavaliers.

James Madison&#8217;s 1983 baseball team no longer is Virginia&#8217;s only College World Series qualifier. The University of Virginia is headed to Omaha, Neb.

It just reframes it. &#8220;We&#8217;ll always be the first team from Virginia to make it,&#8220; Babcock, 70 and still a part-time JMU teacher, said yesterday.           ]]></description>
