It was a long commitment that never quite paid off, and now Michigan basketball will have to see a former signee wear a different color uniform.
2024 Atlanta (Ga.) Mount Of Wilson four-star point guard Christian Anderson Jr. committed to the Wolverines all the way back in Oct. 2021 and even signed with the maize and blue. However, after the post-season ouster of head coach Juwan Howard, the coach that Anderson committed to, and the eventual hiring of Dusty May, Anderson asked for a release from his national letter of intent so he could commit elsewhere.
On Monday, he finally made his decision known, pledging to Texas Tech as his new school of choice.

Dusty May already has been active when it’s come to filling replacements for the departed on the roster. Though the Wolverines have one open roster spot at the moment, May brought in a bevy of guards via the transfer portal, including Tre Donaldson, Roddy Gayle Jr., and Rubin Jones.

Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball program has a new target on their 2025 recruiting board.
On Monday, the Tar Heels became the latest team to enter the race for four-star shooting guard Braylon Mullins. The prospect took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that he had received an offer from North Carolina.
Mullins has caught the attention of the Tar Heels after the program recently watched him during the open period this weekend. He’s the 10th player to receive an offer from North Carolina in the 2025 recruiting class.

North Carolina State

Scott Forbes had some major shoes to fill when taking over as the UNC baseball program’s head coach.
He replaced longtime North Carolina head coach Mike Fox months after the 2020 season, which COVID ended early. Forbes, a longtime Fox assistant, led the Diamond Heels to NCAA Tournament appearances in each of his first three head coaching campaigns.
This year, however, Forbes is arguably overseeing his most talented group of players.
UNC won its first ACC Regular Season Title since 2018, going 41-12 (22-8). North Carolina is a Top-25 hitting team in the nation, with seven players hitting a minimum .300. Forbes brought...

Alabama State

Columbus, OH

Headed into the 2024 season, there are huge expectations for Ohio State’s defense. The Buckeyes were one of the top defensive units in college football last season. After returning key players at every position and landing former Alabama Freshman All-American, Caleb Downs, from the transfer portal, the Silver Bullets are expected to be even stronger in 2024.
Some of the biggest returnees for the Buckeyes come at the defensive line creating a rotation with outstanding high-end talent, depth, and young players who can develop.
This is backed up by On3’s college football columnist Jesse Simonton, who ranked the Buckeyes as the best...

After defeating the Nuggets in a wild Game 7, the Timberwolves will officially head to the Western Conference Finals. Following the improbable comeback win over Denver, Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards appeared on TNT’s postgame coverage of the game.

Although Ohio State baseball didn’t complete a sweep of Rutgers, it was still enough for the Buckeyes to punch a ticket to the Big Ten Tournament.
The five-year drought of not competing for an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament has ended, as the Buckeyes last made the tournament in 2019. With a 28-24 record, the only way that Ohio State will be able to continue playing after this week will be to win it all.
The conference championship will be played in Omaha, the same city the NCAA College World Series takes place. It is a stretch that Ohio State will make it back there after this week, but there is still plenty to play for.
USA TODAY SMG
The Buckeyes will face-off against the host ‘Huskers on Tuesday at 2 p.m. CT, in the second game of the day. It is a double-elimination tournament, which means that even if Ohio State falls during its first game, there is still hope.

Oregon Ducks women’s basketball coach Kelly Graves is in the midst of rebuilding the roster and the latest addition is Nani Falatea.
As a sophomore in the 2022-23 season, she started all 32 games where she averaged 34.9 minutes per game and 15.3 points on 39.2 percent shooting. Falatea led the Cougars with 149 total assists, 4.5 assists per game, eld the second-highest three-point percentage at 36.7 percent and was BYU’s second-leading rebounder at 3.9 rebounds per game.
But as last season began, Falatea stepped away from the BYU program only after a few games. No reason was given. Now as a Duck, the 5-foot-9 guard from Salt Lake City has a chance to start and play the minutes she is used to.
