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.

Scheierman exploded in the third for 14 points, which included four 3-pointers - each seemingly increasing in difficulty, until finally, he lofted a 30-foot rainbow step-back jumper over Goga Bitadze that hit nothing but net in a way that only the best shooters on a heater seem able to achieve.

Estrella was one of the most coveted big-men in the portal, as he had interest from nearly every school in the country. He averaged 10.0 points and 5.4 rebounds in just over 18 minutes a game.

You'd have to catch me off the record to answer that question. The implication was clear: Now that every school can pay players -- either through direct revenue share or name, image and likeness dollars -- Big Ten schools are no longer disadvantaged in recruiting by everything from booster bag men to shoe company AAU connections.

Courtney Ogden led 13th-seeded Stanford (19-13) with 22 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter when the Cardinal scored the final 11 points to tie the game at 70. But Ra Shaya Kyle had 25 points and 11 rebounds, Amarachi Kimpson scored seven of her 20 points in overtime to lead 12th-seeded Miami to victory.

In basketball, rudeness is a two-pronged trait: It's being good enough to make a hard game look easy, but more than that, it's being good enough to make your opponent's hard work seem like a waste. It's strutting into a department store, knocking over a stack of neatly folded sweaters, and heading home. What you feel when you watch a defender stay in front of Booker, only for her to rise up and nail a midrange jumper over their head, is overwhelming pity.

Bediako played two seasons at Alabama in 2021-22 and 2022-23 before leaving early for the NBA draft. He went undrafted and never played in an NBA game, spending the last three seasons playing for three different G League teams, suiting up as recently as last weekend for the Motor City Cruise. He sued the NCAA for immediate reinstatement after the organization denied Alabama's appeal for his return.

I'm gonna honor Christ like I always do. Blessed to do this, but this was embarrassing. These dudes do not deserve to wear this uniform. There will be very few of them in it next year. Like, I'm embarrassed for the university. I'm embarrassed, for our fans, our student section, you know. It is just ridiculous. We got practice at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning, and we will get this thing right. I have no answer, no words Y'all got two questions.
