McDonald’s All-American recruit decommits from UConn men’s basketball

https://ift.tt/OVpXdBi

Darius Adams has decommitted from the UConn men’s basketball program, he announced on social media Saturday.

Adams, a four-star recruit ranked 29th in the Class of 2025 by ESPN, was one of three UConn commits who played in the McDonald’s All American game on April 1.

The 6-foot-5 guard from Manasquan, New Jersey, and La Lumiere (Indiana) originally chose UConn over Michigan State and Tennessee, but says his recruitment is now “wide open,” according to On3Sports. Head coach Dan Hurley and his staff added two experienced guards out of the transfer portal in Silas Demary Jr., from Georgia, and Malachi Smith, from Dayton, which likely affected what Adams’ role would’ve been as a freshman.

The Huskies also return Solo Ball, Jaylin Stewart, Jayden Ross and Tarris Reed Jr., and are waiting on Alex Karaban’s decision between returning or declaring for the NBA Draft.

“First and foremost, I want to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to play the game I love. After much thought and prayer, I have decided to decommit from the University of Connecticut,” Adams wrote in his social media post. “I want to give a huge thank you to the UConn coaching staff and fans; your support has meant the world to me, and I truly appreciate all the love you’ve shown. This was not an easy decision, but I believe it’s the best step for me and my future. With that being said, my recruitment is officially back open, and I’m excited to see what the next chapter holds.”

Adams had three assists and grabbed four rebounds in the McDonald’s All American game but shot 0-for-3 from the field and turned the ball over four times. He is touted as one of the best shooters in the 2025 class and will be one of the highest-ranked incoming freshmen available.

UConn’s incoming freshman class now includes a pair of McDonald’s All Americans in five-star guard Braylon Mullins and four-star center Eric Reibe. Australian wing Jacob Furphy rounds out the class and is ranked No. 95 in the class by 247Sports.

Eagles coach calls out star player for being out of shape: ‘Both he and I have talked about that’

https://ift.tt/5x1sACw PHILADELPHIA — Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is still not in his best form yet. After getting ejected before the first snap in Week 1 for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott , Carter made his season debut in Philadelphia’s Week 2 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. As one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, Carter is expected to take over games, but that didn’t happen against the Chiefs. “He had some good rushes, but he needs to round into better shape,” Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said on Tuesday. “Both he and I have talked about that. He readily admits that. I think we’ll even get more (out of him). For everything that has gone on in his world, I thought he played pretty good.” Carter amassed two tackles and three quarterback hits, while playing 80% of the snaps. He has the talent to be more productive. Last year, Carter became an unstoppable force after ...

Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane ready to take on English rivals in Champions League

https://ift.tt/SwpIz0O Bayern Munich star Harry Kane cannot wait to hit the grass at the Allianz Arena to face off with Chelsea FC in the Champions League. “We back ourselves to beat any team at the Allianz Arena. It’s up to you [journalists] and fans to decide who are the favourites. We’re feeling very good right now. If we want to beat Chelsea, we have to perform at our peak. It will be a tough and great game. Chelsea did very well at the Club World Cup and right now in the Premier League,“ said Kane (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ). When asked about the statement made by Uli Hoeneß, Kane respectfully disagreed. “A club like Bayern always expects to win every competition. I wouldn’t say we’re underdogs, even though we’re playing against the best teams in Europe. Now begins a long journey, hopefully until May. I don’t want to look too far ahead. We want to be as high as possible in the league phase table. It all starts tomorrow,” Kane said. Harkening back to last season’s Champions...
