The Sooners have made an addition to their quarterback room. Akron transfer signal-caller Steele Wasel has made his transition to Oklahoma official, and will be joining the program this summer ahead of the 2024 season. A former in-state star at Choctaw High School in Choctaw, Oklahoma, Wasel had a decorated high school career passing for 3,325 and 38 touchdowns as a senior. He led the Yellowjackets to an 11-2 record in his final year of preps ball and a berth in the 6A-II state championship game, where Choctaw was narrowly defeated by Stillwater by a final mark of 26-21.

The Big 12 will soon officially begin another new era as it welcomes four schools to the conference on July 1 while also saying goodbye to Oklahoma and Texas — both of which are founding members from when the league formed in 1994. Despite the departure of arguably its two premier institutions, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark suggests the conference holds more significance.

Q1: Did USF really have a shot or even interest at Cormani?. Sean: Based off what I heard, there was initial interest from the USF side although they had not yet reached out at that point. They didn't need to take another corner and we say that they didn't add one through the portal. From what I can gather, there was probably too many questions about his fit in the locker room and NIL likely played a role as well. In my opinion, there's probably too many concerns even for a player of his caliber. I always thought they had a chance at landing Cormani but I also felt like it would be a massive gamble for a team that's already found their footing. If this was a Jeff Scott team, I'd say taking the gamble is worth it, but in this situation I would rather just avoid the situation. If they were still concerned about the position, I really just think they wouldn't have taken someone at least.

These transfer classes lead the nation in average rating per commit. Several of the nation's biggest college basketball programs entered the offseason looking for quality over quantity in the transfer portal. Reigning national champion UConn only added two transfers in the portal after returning five of its top nine scorers. Preseason top five North Carolina also had the luxury to pick and choose in the portal and filled two needs with highly-touted transfers.

An aggressive baserunning decision in the Women's College World Series opener Thursday cost Alabama a go-ahead run in a loss to UCLA. In a pivotal moment during the top of the fifth inning, with two outs and the bases loaded for the Crimson Tide, Kenleigh Cahalan delivered a powerful hit to right-center field, scoring the game-tying run from third to make it a 1-1 score. But a bold baserunning move by Kali Heivilin resulted in an out at home, leaving two runners stranded. Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy defended the decision to send Heivilin home in an attempt to get the go-ahead run.

TALLAHASSEE -- The decision to start Carson Dorsey was not easy for Florida State's staff. Coming off a week in which he allowed eight runs and recorded three outs, there was plenty of uncertainty about what Dorsey would provide against Stetson, a team that outscored FSU 10-6 in two regular season games.
