Cal G Justin Pippen returning to Big Ten, commits to Ohio State
Cal guard Justin Pippen is committing to Ohio State, his agents at WME Basketball told ESPN on Friday.
Pippen is a sophomore who is coming off a breakout season in Berkeley, as he averaged 14.2 points, 4.6 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game last season. He entered the NCAA transfer portal earlier this week.
Pippen is the son of NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen and played his high school basketball at Sierra Canyon in Los Angeles. His older brother is Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr.
Justin Pippen is expected to play a large role at Ohio State, as he is a combo guard who will be expected to fill a role similar to the one departing Buckeyes guard Devin Royal played.
Pippen will be the rare player to play on both sides of the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry. Pippen played 28 games for Michigan in 2024-25 before transferring to Cal.
Pippen led Cal in assists and tied for second on the team in scoring average as the Bears reached the second round of the NIT.

Anonymous Big Ten coaches deliver harsh Bryce Underwood criticism that feels premature after his true freshman season

Anonymous Big Ten coaches deliver harsh Bryce Underwood criticism that feels premature after his true freshman season
It would be foolish to count out the Wolverines’ young QB after just one season.
One coach stated that he’s straight up not impressed by Underwood.
“I’m not impressed. He just misses and misses. He’s tall so he’s able to make certain plays that other guys can’t, and he’s big so he can run. But I don’t see him as someone that’s dangerous at all. He’s a guy who can lose you some games.”
Another coach offered an even more pointed take.
“Just because you pay somebody money doesn’t make them good. There’s going to be a little reality check on that.”
Underwood living up to his potential would require a complete attitude adjustment. Which at this point seems like that is definitely not happening.

3 NFL Teams That Could Trade For Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy
The J.J. McCarthy era for the Minnesota Vikings is coming to an end much sooner than people expected.McCarthy, the 10th pick from the 2024 NFL Draft, completed 57.6% of his passes last season for 1,632 yards with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He struggled enough that Minnesota felt the need to sign Kyler Murray to a one-year deal this offseason.
With the NFL season coming up, the Vikings have named Murray their starter for Week 1. Now that he's expected to take over the first-team offense for Kevin O'Connell, it's fair to wonder if McCarthy will be traded.
McCarthy, 23, is currently under contract through the 2027 season with a fifth-year option for 2028.
Who would trade for J.J. McCarthy?
The most popular trade suitor might be the Los Angeles Chargers. Although they have a franchise quarterback in Justin Herbert, they have a coach who is awfully familiar with McCarthy. "I think he plays quarterback the best of any quarterback in the draft," Jim Harbaugh said of McCarthy before the 2024 draft. "He's incredible. So, big market, small market. Cold weather, hot weather, it won't matter."...
The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers could also be potential options for McCarthy, according to Charles Walter of the Pioneer Press.
At the very least, the Browns and Steelers can let McCarthy sit this year and develop without having any potential quarterback controversies.
Google AI: J.J. McCarthy signed a 4-year, $21,854,796 rookie contract with the Minnesota Vikings after being drafted 10th overall in 2024. The deal is fully guaranteed, features a $12,714,396 signing bonus, an average annual salary of $5,463,699, and includes a fifth-year team option.
Contract Breakdown
- Total Value: $21,854,796
- Guaranteed Money: $21,854,796 (Fully guaranteed)
- Signing Bonus: $12,714,396
- Average Salary: $5,463,699 per year
- Structure: 4-year standard rookie scale with a fifth-year team option for the 2028 season.
- The exact dollar amount for J.J. McCarthy's 5th-year team option cannot be determined yet because it will be calculated following the 2026 NFL season using official salary cap numbers and performance benchmarks. Based on the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) formulas and historical projections, McCarthy’s 2028 option year is expected to fall between $25 million and $38+ million depending entirely on his playing time and Pro Bowl accolades over his first three seasons.
