South Carolina basketball coach Dawn Staley just led her Gamecocks to their third national championship with an undefeated 38-0 record. Only seven of their victories were by fewer than 10 points, and they won by an average of 29 points per game against a top-20 overall strength of schedule. Making matters worse for the rest of the country, only Kamilla Cardoso (selected 3rd overall in the WNBA Draft by the Chicago Sky) is leaving from the rotation, and three 5-star freshmen are joining the roster. As dominant as the Gamecocks were in the 2023-2024 season and as good as they…
Tennessee Volunteers head coach Josh Heupel feels the team’s veteran leadership has continued making strides throughout his tenure. Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel has continued to raise the standard within his locker room to set a culture conducive to success. While a head coach can help establish the standard, it’s ultimately up to the players to execute and succeed in that. During an appearance on 247Sports Josh Pate’s show “Late Kick Live,” Heupel explained how his veterans have welcomed young players into his program to help him set the culture. “It’s rare outside of football, but it’s rare inside of…
The Dallas Cowboys came out of the 2024 NFL Draft weekend not drafting a single running back. As shocking as that is, what may have been even more surprising to Cowboys Nation was the reported interest in bringing a familiar face back to the team. With reports that Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys had mutual interest in reuniting, the agreement came together quickly to bring the two parties back together. We look at Zeke’s body of work, and what he has looked like since his departure to see just what the Cowboys are getting with the newest member of…

He arrived in Fayetteville on Sunday night. Razorback offensive line coach Eric Mateos led the recruiting efforts for More. More has appeared in 44 games during his career while playing one season at Syracuse and four seasons, including a redshirt year, at Richmond. He transferred to Syracuse in December 2022 as a graduate transfer. He missed most of the 2023 season due to an injury. He played in three games…
The Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott seem to be in a situation like that the L.A. Rams and Jared Goff were in before the Rams dealt Goff to the Detroit Lions. Could Prescott be headed down a path similar to that taken by Goff? The Dallas Cowboys selected Dak Prescott out of Mississippi State in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Although the Cowboys’ plan was for Prescott to serve as backup to Tony Romo in 2016, Romo suffered a vertebral fracture in a preseason game, and Prescott was named the starter for the regular season opener. After his injury,…
The Philadelphia Eagles cut the following four players on Monday, according to the NFL’s official transaction report: DT Noah Elliss WR/TE Griffin Hebert CB Tiawan Mullen OL Lecitus Smith They are all subject to waivers, so, we’ll soon see if they get claimed. All four players were fighting uphill battles to make the 53-man roster. Elliss may have had the best chance to make the team since the Eagles could some use more depth at nose tackle. But apparently not. Prior to these cuts, the Eagles had 78 players on their roster (including Mekhi Becton, who OFFICIALLY signed on Monday) … PLUS nine unsigned…
A former Wagner College running back is heading to the NFL. Chris Collier, who spent three seasons on Grymes Hill, went undrafted over the weekend, but signed a UDFA deal with the Baltimore Ravens, according to numerous reports. The Lawrence, N.Y. native saw limited action with the Seahawks before emerging as a breakout star for Division-II Lock Haven last season The 5-foot-11, 203-pound Collier amassed 334 yards and one touchdown during his time at Wagner. He ran for a school-record 1,393 yards at Lock Haven, piling up 15 touchdowns in 11 contests. The shifty tailback opened the eyes of scouts…
former Oklahoma offensive tackle Walter Rouse was the first off the board. The Minnesota Vikings took Rouse with the first pick in the sixth round, selecting him 177th overall. Rouse became the 13th Oklahoma offensive lineman to be drafted since Bill Bedenbaugh took over the position back in 2013, as the former Stanford transfer accomplished what he set out to do when he joined Oklahoma prior to his final college season. Rouse originally committed to Nebraska out of the portal before flipping to Oklahoma, in part because of Sooners assistant Bill Bedenbaugh’s track record of developing offensive linemen for…
The NY Jets will have a new-look quarterback room in 2024, and that’s not just because of the return of Aaron Rodgers. The Jets have a new backup QB, Tyrod Taylor, and a young developmental third-stringer in fifth-round pick Jordan Travis. That’s not all, however. The Jets have reportedly agreed to terms with former West Florida quarterback Byron “Peewee” Jarrett on an undrafted free-agent contract. Jarrett joins Rodgers, Taylor, and Travis in the Jets’ quarterback room and should provide much-needed depth with the latter still recovering from a broken leg he suffered in November of last year. While the Jets…
