Fernandez??

Just being my usual Devil's Advocate Asshole: Nobody saw Fernandez taking Indiana to an NC either.

Apples and oranges. Fernandez is a much better quarterback than Sorsby. The fact he was playing for Indiana is the primary factor in making a national championship seem unlikely.

Quarterfinal preview of the Buckeye vs TCU Horned Frogs Thursday 1 pm, from the official site
Shockingly, most NCAA tennis bloggers are predicting a TCU victory by a 4-2 or 4-3 score.
Gracelhink fearless prediction, 4-3 good guys!!!
The best pathway for Bucks includes finding 4 points at dubs, #3, #4 and #6.

Cade is an outstanding player but if he and the rest of the Pistons were ever called for barreling into their defender then using the forearm to push off so they're wide open for the shot.. Pistons would already be eliminated

World Cup kit ranking: Which teams will look best in 2026?​

Who will start? Predicted XIs for 2026 World Cup contenders, hosts​

UNITED STATES​

GROUP D
vs. Paraguay (June 12, Los Angeles)
vs. Australia (June 19, Seattle)
vs. Türkiye (June 25, Los Angeles)​

Projected bench: (Goalkeepers) Matt Turner, Chris Brady; (Defenders) Alex Freeman, Mark McKenzie, Auston Trusty, Miles Robinson, Max Arfsten; (Midfielders) Aiden Morris, Cristian Roldan, Sebastian Berhalter, Malik Tillman, Brendan Aaronson, Gio Reyna; (Forwards) Ricardo Pepi, Haji Wright

Squad snapshot: Previous World Cups have seen the U.S. strong in goal and defense, but light in attack. In this edition, the opposite appears to be true.

Questions abound in goal, as well as the center of defense, with Ream, 38, still penciled in to start despite questions about his mobility. In attack, for the first time in over a decade, the U.S. have a standout striker in Balogun with the likes of Pulisic, McKennie and Weah charged with getting him the ball -- or creating opportunities for themselves.

The U.S. certainly have more attacking options than they're used to. That includes full backs Robinson and Dest, who will be critical to the USMNT's attack, with Robinson providing service from out wide and Dest taking on the role of attacking wild card. Therefore, the center of midfield will be key in helping to shield the backline with Adams providing the steel and Cardoso (if he can get fit) the cultured passing.

The intangibles settle on the fact that the U.S. are playing at home. Will the USMNT use the home crowd to spur it on, or will the weight of expectations prove to be too heavy? It will be up to manager Mauricio Pochettino to make sure the team is prepared and possesses a confident mindset.

Call me crazy but I would flip-flop the Purdue and USC games, & move up the Maryland home game into Tier 3. USC is spending top-tier NIL on this basketball roster, and if Purdue is anywhere near them it's the worst money management in college basketball.

Ohio State receives key answer from elite quarterback in 2027 ​

Ohio State has had four-star QB Brady Edmunds in the class since Dec. of 2024. The Buckeyes want to have two quarterbacks in the class, but UCLA continues to push for Edmunds to stay home in California.

Ryan Day’s staff has shown interest in several other 2027 quarterbacks, and the latest is committed to another Big Ten school.

The Buckeyes recently paid a visit to Millard South (NE) QB Trae Taylor at his school and are trying to get him to make a trip to Columbus. To this point, no visit is planned and there’s no sign of it changing. However, the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ commitment is at least keeping the door open.

“At this point in the process Ohio State stands where the other schools stand,” Taylor said, via On3. “I’m committed to not taking any trips to campus. But I’m definitely not going to ignore any coach that calls me. The way football is now I refuse to burn any bridges.”

You don’t see a ton of firm commitment in today’s era of recruiting, as Taylor is going about things. The nation’s No. 4 quarterback in the soon-to-be senior class has been committed to Nebraska for a year now and looks solid. Still, the Buckeyes are at least trying to get into the mix if anything changes.

Taylor is a 6-foot-3, 192-pound quarterback who would nicely fit Day’s system in Columbus. Ohio State has been able to pick up late recruiting wins at quarterback in the past with players like the late Dwayne Haskins Jr. and even CJ Stroud out of California.

A couple of dominoes have to fall to figure out which direction Ohio State will go in 2027. The most important thing for the Buckeyes will be seeing if they can keep Edmunds in the class. If not, the Buckeyes will be ramping up the pressure on Taylor and others.

Ohio State football elite five-star commitment makes the admission Buckeye Nation needed to hear from him​

Login to view embedded media
"I think time is just too close to just be playing around,” Brown said, via Eleven Warriors. “I know where I want to go, and that’s Ohio State, so I really just don’t see no point in going anywhere else, honestly.”

“My recruitment’s been shut down for a minute, I just haven’t made it public,” Brown went on to say. “Me and Coach Day had a conversation, so it just felt great shutting down my recruitment, knowing how bad I still wanted to be there, and knowing how bad Coach Day still wants me to be there and the staff. And I just can’t wait to get up there and be great.”

Ohio State wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton has been able to build a good relationship with Brown and it’s a key part of this. The Buckeyes not having to fight off other schools for Brown is what Ohio State needed in this class.

Brown is the No. 4 wideout and No. 21 overall player in the class of 2027, per 247 Sports Composite. In an era where we don’t see recruitments completely shut down even when players are committed, it’s a nice development to start the week.

Ohio State can now focus on building out the rest of the class, where they have 11 commitments. The month of May and June will both be very key in what Ohio State’s class looks like for 2027.
