Dunker had visited this Culver's before, usually after Iowa home games, played about a mile away at Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes' starting right tackle would seek a casual, familiar place to dine with his parents and brothers.
I had some conversations with higher-ups in the NFL. They all usually start with conversations about our current players and turn into: Would you be interested in making a transition to the NFL? I'm glad I had those conversations. I learned a lot.
Avdalas, a 6-foot-9 native of Greece, averaged 12.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists as a freshman in Blacksburg. In the second game of his career, Avdalas had 33 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, going 5-for-8 from 3-point range, in a win over Providence. He skyrocketed up in NBA mock drafts on the heels of that game, looking like a projected first-round pick.
Michigan and Wisconsin battled back and forth all game, and it was a 3-pointer by Lendeborg with 0.4 seconds left that helped Michigan advance to the title game. The Wolverines were just 8/25 (32%) from deep, but it was enough to get the win. Michigan got its revenge on Wisconsin as the Badgers handed the Wolverines their only conference loss of the season.

Caps general manager Chris Patrick updated where the team stands with their top unsigned prospect when he met with the media on Friday.
Henderson arrives with elite production against top Texas competition and a feel for the game that can't be coached. With Conner Weigman returning, Henderson doesn't need to be "the guy" on Day 1, but he's too talented to keep off the field. Expect Henderson to be involved in situational packages, red zone wrinkles and some possible momentum-swing snaps.
Is she the MVP for calling in Indiana state troopers to arrest protesting students on her campus, an action that included snipers on the roof of a campus building? Is President Whitten the MVP for IU's attempt to enforce a "no-trespass" order on a group of IU faculty, grad students and alumni, which led to institutional sanctions, sanctions that were later invalidated on First Amendment grounds in a federal court?
Edge Rush Still Gets My Attention Rueben Bain Jr. -EDGE, Miami Real talk, Bain probably isn't getting anywhere near Dallas. But if were talking pure fits, this is exactly the type of edge rusher I want the Cowboys swinging on if the opportunity presents itself. Rueben Bain Jr. is explosive, powerful, and doesn't need to be schemed into pressure. I think that matters when talking about elite edge rushers.
Fernando Mendoza was a given for the top spot after winning the Heisman Trophy and ending his college career with a national championship title in what was a historic season for Indiana. Texas' Arch Manning had a slow start but picked things up as the season went on, but was his ranking justified? When looking at the rest of the list, who could've been ranked higher? Were there any players who should've made the list but didn't?
In the final weeks of February, in perhaps the only quiet month on the college football calendar, the 2027 high school recruiting cycle is gaining steam.

We're nearing conference tournament time, which means we're also nearing the time when coaches and players are paying attention to their NPI ranking - and hoping to be part of the NCAA tournament. The good news is it appears the Blackhawks' prospects playing in the college ranks right now are as healthy as they have been in a while.
Alberto Mendoza reposted something else on his Instagram Story at roughly the same time - a media report that he plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal. A spokesperson for Indiana confirmed to The Athletic that the former three-star recruit has entered the portal. While the transfer portal closed for most players last Friday, players from Indiana and Miami are allowed to enter through Saturday because of their participation in the national title game.
But they looked every bit of the best team in the country on Tuesday at Mackey Arena, comprehensively dispatching No. 7 Purdue, 91-80. Michigan led for the final 33 minutes and its lead expanded to as many as 20 points late in the first half. "We needed to deliver a lot of punches, whether it was the first or second," coach Dusty May said. "We knew this was going to go all 10 [rounds]. If we took a shot, we knew we had to respond and our guys did that over the course of the game. That was impressive the way they answered those runs with really sound play."
Last season, Haugh was a key reserve for the Florida team that cut down the nets in San Antonio. This season, he is a bona fide All-America candidate and first-round NBA draft prospect who could lead the Gators to their second back-to-back national title reign in program history. His scoring average has increased from 9.8 to 16.9 points while maintaining a similar impact on the glass with 6.0 rebounds per game.
