What's next for Alabama basketball's Chris Youngblood after Elite Eight loss to Duke?

https://ift.tt/6LiKwTN NEWARK, N.J. — Despite the Crimson Tide's season-ending Elite Eight loss to Duke, it doesn't sound like Alabama basketball guard Chris Youngblood is ready to leave the sport. He hopes to make it the NBA with his final year of eligibility used up. In the wee hours of Sunday morning, Youngblood addressed his immediate plans. Will Alabama basketball guard Chris Youngblood be taken in NBA Draft? "I mean, psh, get ready for the next level," Youngblood grinned. Youngblood arrived back in his hometown of Tuscaloosa by way of USF, where he spent one season after spending the first three years of his college career at Kennesaw State. Although he only joined Alabama in April 2024, his time made a mark from the stat sheet to the hearts and minds of his teammates. Especially freshman Labaron Philon and Houston Mallette, who plans to return for a fifth season with the Crimson Tide. WHAT'S NEXT FOR MO D? 'I know what I deserve': Alabam...

Eicher’s Six Goals Powers Men’s No. 9 Army takes down No. 5 North Carolina

https://ift.tt/NiZ8XWE Army in Saturday's action against UNC Mark Wellman WEST POINT, N.Y. – No. 9 Army West Point men's lacrosse (8-1, 3-1 PL) defeated the No. 5 ranked North Carolina Tarheels (7-2), 13-12 on a sunny and warm March Saturday afternoon at Michie Stadium. Army's senior attacker Jackson Eicher matched a career-high six goals to pace the offensive efforts. It was Eicher's second game this season totaling six goals. Eicher got his monster game started early netting Army's first goal two minutes into play from an assist by Evan Plunkett . Army jumped out to an early 2-0 lead a minute later as Gunnar Fellows scored with an assist this time from Eicher. The Tarheels answered with three straight goals of their own to take the lead after Army's fast start, two by Dominic Pietramala and one by Owen Duffy. Army responded with an unassisted snipe from freshman Aiden Weisenborn and then a minute and a half later, Evan Plunkett found his little...

Bengals free agent predicted as fit for Cowboys, Raiders

https://ift.tt/zgf4srS Cincinnati Bengals  free agent Mike Hilton remains one of the best players left on the open market. While Hilton appeared to say goodbye to the Bengals , it has been interesting to speculate whether the team might end up bringing him back at some point this offseason. Until then, though, Hilton's name has come up in plenty of free-agency projections. That includes being listed as a fit for the Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders by Bleacher Report's Moe Moton: "He's logged at least five pass breakups, four tackles for loss and an interception every year. Additionally, he has allowed a passer rating of 92 or below in coverage for seven out of eight campaigns." Fittingly, the column outlined several free agents who can still be "key contributors" for teams, which is certainly the case for Hilton. While Hilton had his role reduced last year and even logged snaps at safety, his sound tackling and borderline elite ability as a ...

Top Georgia high school football recruits in the class of 2026

https://ift.tt/TgOUZx8 Over the last few weeks, we've looked at some of the best high school football recruits from the country's recruiting hotbeds. The series started with the best  2026 recruits out of Texas  before heading to Florida and finally out west to California . This time, we'll head west and look at the Peach State. Here are the top 2026 recruits to keep an eye on from Georgia. Taylor Atkinson School: Grayson (Loganville) Position:  Linebacker Commitment:  Uncommitted Summary: Atkinson put up monster numbers in a junior season that no one will be able to touch. In 13 games, he accounted for 166 tackles, 46 quarterback pressures, 32 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, and three pass breakups. Georgia appears to be the frontrunner in his recruitment. He was last in Athens on March 11 for an unofficial visit. Xavier Griffin School: Gainesville Position:  Linebacker Commitment:  USC Summary:  Griffin's already made his college decisi...

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander channels Michael Jordan Bulls after setting OKC Thunder win record

https://ift.tt/TgOUZx8 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander , as the face of Oklahoma City’s revival and storm through a rigorous Western Conference, has been told of a countless amount of records. That his Thunder is the youngest to do this and that. That it's the first since team since (insert team) to (insert feat). He and his team have linked themselves or leapfrogged too many predecessors.  So after achieving 61 wins on Thursday with a 125-104 against the Grizzlies — the franchise’s regular-season crown — you had to know what Gilgeous-Alexander would say.  “It’s cool. It doesn’t mean much,” he said, cracking a smile as he channeled the mantra of Michael Jordan's Bulls that went 72-10 in the 1995-96 season. “My goal, the team’s ultimate goal, is not to set a franchise record, it’s to hoist the trophy at the end of the season.”  (Boy, the soliloquy he must have prepared if the Thunder wins the title this season.)

Wojciech Szczesny hits impressive Barcelona landmark

https://ift.tt/xKuMVv7 Wojciech Szczesny hits impressive Barcelona landmark Wojciech Szczesny’s incredible season at Barcelona is set to break more new ground this weekend at home to rivals Girona. The former Poland international battled through a tough start to life to become the first choice goalkeeper at Barcelona, and he has started to deliver with his performances in 2025. Following a season-ending injury to first-choice stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Hansi Flick made the bold move to bring Szczesny out of retirement, and the call looks increasingly shrewd. After surviving the initial furore over dropping Inaki Pena as No.1, to ease Szczesny into the starting line up, both manager and player are reaping the benefits. Barcelona have reached out to Szczesny’s camp to try and convince him on an extension for next season – and potentially into 2026/27 – but the final call will come down to the 34-year-old. His form has been a cornerstone for Flick and Barcelona’s push across...

Gwinnett teen isn’t letting being bound to a wheelchair stop him from being an elite athlete

https://ift.tt/PtC96dk For his entire life, Grayson High School junior Najee Smothers has been fighting the odds. But it’s a fight that, by many accounts, he’s winning. The Gwinnett County 17-year-old is one of the world’s elite adaptive athletes with countless awards and recognitions, including a silver medal in Egypt for the U.S. National Wheelchair Handball Team. Channel 2′s Luke Hetrick sat down with Najee Smothers and his mom who say there’s no stopping him. “It’s been a challenge for sure getting to where I am now. From when I was little to now, it’s been a big leap,” Najee Smothers said. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks ] Noraa Smothers said that she knew her son was different before he was even born. “I was pregnant with him. Five months in, they told me, ‘Your baby has spina bifida. He won’t be able to walk. He won’t live a viable life.’ Najee was kicking at hours old. I was like, ‘This dude is going to be different,’” she said. As a kid, Na...

Blue Jackets Sign Another Undrafted NCAA Defensemen

https://ift.tt/K6BzmDh It's that time of year when undrafted NCAA players start signing entry-level contracts with NHL teams, and the Columbus Blue Jackets have been particularly active in adding college talent. After signing Jack Williams from Northeastern University yesterday, the Blue Jackets have now reached an agreement with defenseman Caleb MacDonald from the University of North Dakota. MacDonald, 22, played 35 games as a sophomore this season, registering three goals and seven assists for 10 points.

Trace Carroll, close friend of ASU's Dillingham, takes over as Chaparral football coach

https://ift.tt/xKRgLh6 Trace Carroll, who was teammates and best friends with Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham in high school, is returning to Scottsdale Chaparral to lead the football program. Carroll played for two of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history, Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle. He played at the tail end of Estabrook's career and the start of Ragle's tenure at the school. He was an offensive lineman, next to future NFL tackle Taylor Lewan, on the 2008 team that reached the state final, before losing to Scottsdale Saguaro. The quarterback of that team, Spencer Stone, is actress Emma Stone's brother. "As a proud alumni and as a former football player at Chaparral for Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle, I look forward to continuing the program’s great success," Carroll said. Carroll, like Dillingham, got into coaching almost immediately after graduating from high school, helping Ragle out at Chaparral. He spent the past six years as a...

Tuchel says Maguire 'will always be in contention' for England

https://ift.tt/UGdXL52 Manchester United defender Harry Maguire (Oli SCARFF) Thomas Tuchel has insisted Harry Maguire will "always be in contention" for England despite overlooking the Manchester United defender for his first two games in charge. The 32-year-old was a key member of Gareth Southgate's set-up, playing in three major tournaments before missing last year's Euros through injury. But the defender was not selected for Tuchel's first two matches in charge of England -- their World Cup qualifying wins over Albania and Latvia -- following a fitness issue sustained at the start of March. "I spoke to everyone who was not nominated and was on the (long) list," the England coach said when asked about the 64-cap defender. "I spoke to all of them to give them my direct feedback, why this is. It was a close decision. "We chose Marc Guehi and Ezri Konsa. At the moment I think they are a little bit in a better rhythm and deserve to be wit...

England vs Latvia LIVE: Morgan Rogers and Reece James start as Thomas Tuchel makes team changes

https://ift.tt/BpLedU5 Thomas Tuchel kicked off his tenure as England manager with a professional if slightly dull 2-0 victory over Albania at Wembley on Friday night. Myles Lewis-Skelly scored his first international goal on his senior debut while Harry Kane extended his record tally to 70 goals for the national team. Despite the win, England’s performance was very reminiscent of the Gareth Southgate era with controlled possession, slow build-up and a lack of runners in the wide areas. Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden took on the latter roles and Tuchel has explained ‘what more he wants’ as he seeks to bring Premier League intensity to the international game. Anthony Gordon has withdrawn from the squad after picking up a hip injury against Albania and there may be changes to the starting XI with the likes of Jordan Henderson and Marc Guehi brought into the team.

Florida ends UConn's bid for third straight national title with 77-75 March Madness win

https://ift.tt/oaiGxDq RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Walter Clayton Jr. and Florida ended UConn’s pursuit of a third straight national championship, with Clayton burying two key 3-pointers in the final three minutes of a scintillating 77-75 victory for the top-seeded Gators in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday. Clayton, a first-team All-America guard, finished with 23 points as Florida (32-4), one of the favorites for this year’s title, survived a strong challenge from coach Dan Hurley’s Huskies (24-11), who came in with modest expectations as a No. 8 seed but led for most of the second half. Florida advances to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2017 and will play Colorado State or Maryland in the West Region semifinals in San Francisco. UConn was seeking to become the first team to three-peat since UCLA’s run of seven straight titles from 1967-73. The Huskies won the 2023 title in Houston and last year in Glendale, Arizona, joining Duke (1991-92) and Florida (2006-07) ...

Swap deal brewing? Ex Chelsea boss identifies new Man Utd darling as ‘ideal’ profile

https://ift.tt/CyQ5EH9 Swap deal brewing? Ex Chelsea boss identifies new Man Utd darling as ‘ideal’ profile Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee reportedly has a new suitor who is trying to prise him away from his band of supporters at Old Trafford. The Dutchman has been enduring highs and lows since making the move from Bologna to Man Utd last summer. But after being harshly cheered off the pitch by a section of the OT home crowd in December, he has now cemented himself as a bona fide favourite thanks to his vastly improving displays. While his scoring stats are far from impressive, his overall influence on the team has been largely positive as of late. Therefore, the Man Utd supporters can be heard singing the attacker’s name in almost every contest, even after missing the decisive spot-kick in the penalty shootouts against Fulham in the FA Cup. But while the Old Trafford fans would be happy to keep Zirkzee at Carrington, Antonio Conte reportedly wants him at Napoli. Acc...
