UVA shows wishful thinking

You've probably heard by now, but Dave Leitao, the head coach at Virginia, has "resigned". The Cav program plans to pursue Minnesota's Tubby Smith, VCU's Anthony Grant, and Oklahoma's Jeff Capel. Their main goal is to find someone who can recruit. Smith is a good game-time coach, but he acquired the "unable to recruit" tag near the end of his time at Kentucky. There's no doubt that all three coaches will be approached with other, more enticing offers as soon as the season is over, so UVA better come up with a few more names to add to their list.
