Virginia freshman Tristan Spurlock sent in his second player diary entry this morning. One of the two Cavalier freshman, he seems to be adjusting well to college life and NCAA ball. Have a look:

Hey, just checking back in. We just got back from fall break, so I got a chance to go home for about three days. My two little sisters mean a lot to me (Jasmine-12, Jade-7). It was good seeing them. One thing that I truly miss is my mom's cooking! With me being the oldest, it feels weird not being around, but they know how much I love them so they'll be fine.

We finish up workouts soon then we start full on practice. Our team looks very sharp. Coach has us playing tough hard nose defense every workout. The college game is so much faster than high school, but you learn to adjust quickly. My roommate Jontel [Evans] and I just got cable in out room so life is pretty good. Classes aren't too rough. I'm starting to get use to my schedule, even though it seems like it changes everyday with tutor times and study hall.

I got a chance to see that Monday night game between Green Bay and Minnesota, it was a classic. I'm a big football fan. My team is Carolina, we play the Redskins next weekend. Hopefully we can get a win.
