This time last month, Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs were in full celebration mode. After all, they went full throttle on the recruiting trail. They landed their 14th in-state commitment in June. Reports suggest that it was the highest number of June commitments during Smart’s tenure. June also came with the commitment of Georgia four-star safety commit Chace Calicut. But who would have thought that it would make Smart regret the move? On June 26, the Bulldogs gained the commitment from the North Shore (Texas) product. Smart might be on cloud nine then. After all, Calicut has been a…
The Georgia Bulldogs are getting a discount deal for 2026 five-star plus quarterback commit Jared Curtis — even if it doesn’t look like it. In a new report from On3’s Pete Nakos, Curtis is set to make “north of $750,000” in his first season at Georgia next year. Yes, that’s a lot of money, but not compared to these other schools that are handing some of their top incoming freshmen recruits over $1 million. It’s also a big win for Georgia, as he could have easily gone elsewhere for more money if he wanted to, but he chose the Bulldogs.…

With plenty…
Which OKC Thunder Player is Most Likely to Breakout Next Season? There’s a clear path for a second-year guard on OKC’s roster to having a breakout season. Fresh off an NBA title, the Oklahoma City Thunder have practically maintained their same roster from the championship-winning team. In fact, the roster is the exact same. This should allow for the stars to shine and the role players to keep in their same roles, but there are a few players who came off the bench last season who could see an increase in playing time and production. This is from a variety…
The history of the Atlanta Braves is a storied one. Tracing their history back to the 1800’s in Boston, the franchise has seen 57 members of the Baseball Hall of Fame suit up for it at least once, with others claiming a legitimate case to join them in Cooperstown.

Atlanta has seen the organization double its championship count, once in 1995 and again in 2021. With such…
The Atlanta Braves are open to offers for at least some of their key players. Atlanta is willing to deal slugger Marcell Ozuna and closer Raisel Iglesias, both of whom are pending free agents, ahead of next week’s deadline, a source told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. However, in order to part with either Ozuna or Iglesias, the Braves want a proper return in terms of talent and aren’t willing to send them out in a salary dump, Rosenthal adds. An Ozuna trade may be out of the Braves’ hands regardless, however, as he holds 10-and-5 rights – 10 years…

The Indiana Pacers were devastated by Tyrese Haliburton’s injury during Game 7 of the NBA Finals. He tore his Achilles tendon just seven minutes into the game, ending any shot they had of winning the title. Now, Haliburton will miss all of next season because of the injury. It has been just over a month since he suffered the injury, and he is still in a cast and using a scooter to get around. Just because Haliburton won’t be playing next season doesn’t mean that he won’t be a big part of what the Pacers are going to do. More…
