It appeared as though Mark Pope was set to bring former BYU center Aly Khalifa with him to Kentucky. However, he lost the elite passing big to the Wildcats’ biggest rival. Khalifa officially committed to Louisville on Thursday afternoon, his agent confirmed. This is a huge victory for Pat Kelsey. Regardless of whether Khalifa even plays one single minute for the Cardinals, it was a massive statement on the recruiting trail. Both first-year head coaches were battling for a player who spent last season under Pope and only one could win. Khalifa, a former three-star recruit from Australia, playe ..read more

Jack Leiter Growing up, we all dreamt of playing the big leagues, probably with a great debut that made us a hero to the fans. Texas Rangers pitching prospect Jack Leiter got that debut opportunity on Wednesday, but it didn’t go as planned. The son of former star pitcher Al Leiter was the second-overall pick of the Texas Rangers in 2021 as a highly hyped pitcher out of Vanderbilt. Despite maybe not living up to those expectations in the minor leagues so far and seeing his star dim a little bit, Rangers fans were still excited to see him against the Rangers. All they saw was some very bad big-l ..read more

Reed Sheppard celebrates during a Kentucky basketball game. The Kentucky head coaching search landed on Mark Pope this offseason, and he’ll now be tasked with replacing John Calipari.

Much of that letdown was due to the program’s swinging and missing on more notable names. Dan Hurley, Billy Donovan, Scott Drew, and Nate Oats all said, “Thanks, b ..read more

Deion Sanders and the University of Colorado has seen a large number of top football players enter the transfer portal over the last few weeks. It is a concerning trend for the Buffaloes. Although they are not the only team to see a significant amount of talent leave, they are coming off of a rough end to last season and don’t seem to have much of an answer to the departures. Running back Alton McCaskill is perhaps the biggest loss to date. Although he only played in four games last season before taking a redshirt, the former three-star recruit (who had 32 scholarship offers including Alabama ..read more

Caitlin Clark during the 2024 National Championship game Two-time national player of the year Caitlin Clark is still doing things to change the game, even though she hasn’t played in one since the women’s college basketball national championship. The latest report is that Clark will be getting more than $20 million in a first of its kind deal where she will get her own signature shoe before ever playing at the pro level. There is, obviously, good reason for that. Caitlin Clark puts a record number eyeballs on the games she plays (and the WNBA draft), butts in the seats at arenas all over the n ..read more
