Personal news: I’m joining the team @TheState/@GoGamecocks as an intern covering South Carolina football and men’s basketball. An opportunity to stay in SEC country and join this amazing newsroom is something I couldn’t pass up. Super excited to get up to Columbia in August!

If any programs are interested, I can also deliver you a non-tournament roster for $850k. DMs are open.
Got my hands on another college basketball general manager contract with a whopping $850k base salary The difference from the one I pulled yesterday is that it isn't a blueblood This team is well outside the top 50, having not sniffed a tournament game in nearly a decade...
So many questions: Why? Why this game specifically? How does UTSA still only win by eight points? How often is stuff like this happening? What is happening?
REPORT: @On3Memphis has obtained direct messages of former Memphis DB Tahj Ra-El sending UTSA QB Owen McCown the Tigers' playbook before their game💀 The Roadrunners won 44-36. on3.com/sites/tiger-sp…
Love this, personally. Let someone be great and do great things while they’re in it. One day, some people opposing this will use it as a reason another young pitcher isn’t on Misiorowski’s level.
Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski has been named to the National League All-Star team. He has thrown in five games and has 25.2 innings pitched for his career. That is the fewest games ever played by someone named to the All-Star Game.
So we’ve established crystal balls no longer mean anything

Don’t let the AI win, write and publish your own unreadable mess
The reality is Houston probably had a better offer and chose to do right by Cam because it’s the situation he wanted. Hopefully the basketball gods are real and give the Rockets good karma.
The Houston Rockets are trading Cam Whitmore to the Washington Wizards for two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. The deal gives Whitmore a tremendous opportunity for an increased role as he turns 21 on Tuesday and returns to the DMV area.
With that, my stint with the AP is over. I had a great experience working alongside such a talented and knowledgeable staff of reporters and editors. Excited for what’s next (more on that soon).

The Texas Tech NIL bag has been incredibly deep this summer. If it translates, it will mean serious recruiting momentum for the next decade.

His story is amazing but it is insane that anyone let him play again

Or keep him and sign DFS. That works too.
Whitmore has a lot of offensive potential and could carve out an important role as a bench scorer on most competitive teams, including Houston. But if the Rockets can get a two guard or a wing with on-ball defense in return for Cam, they should pull the trigger.
You can keep it
The campus has been quiet for too long 😏
