Ron Hoskins/NBAE via Getty ImagesWheeler’s senior year stats were solid, but not spectacular. So it wasn’t a surprise when she wasn’t selected in the 2013 WNBA draft, instead deciding to sign with a team in Puerto Rico for $200 a week. Not having her mother around was difficult it still is but Wheeler found peace.

Whereas Max Browne and Will Grier more or less inherited their starting roles, Tanner Lee outright won his, garnering coach Mike Riley’s vote of confidence after spring practice. The Tulane transfer entered 2017 in a competition with Patrick O’Brien to replace longtime starter Tommy Armstrong Jr. but separated himself over the course of Nebraska’s spring practices and shined in the spring game. Lee completed 13 of 19 passes for 190 yards with three touchdowns in the Cornhuskers’ spring finale.

The situation: After firing Charlie Strong, hiring Tom Herman and nine months spent trying to change a culture that resulted in three consecutive sevenloss seasons, the Longhorns looked like exactly the same team in a 5141 loss to Maryland.
march madness ncaa tournament 2016 locations wine ca As Golden State learned in March, Curry remains an MVPlevel player who can carry an elite offense by himself. But the whole point of adding Durant last summer was to ease everyone’s burden in the playoffs, and his absence on Wednesday led to some rough stretches without Curry and required some readjustments upon his reentry. Those blips were enough to let the Blazers back into the game in the second quarter, and an Evan Turner 3pointer with 3:38 remaining cut the score to just 4342.
wholesale jerseys authentic “My whole first year I didn’t have any clue how this was gonna play out,” Hubbard says. “I’d go to practice one day and have an offensive jersey. Next day I’d have a defensive jersey. That was tough. I was trying to learn both, making mistakes the entire time, but just going hard all the time was how I got through it, and why I think I earned respect. I just tried to run out there and hit somebody.”
cheap outlet for ncaa gear That quiet intensity Sampson first noticed translated to loud results that will long reverberate. “He always told me he’d know when the time was right and go out on his terms,” Mangino said by phone on Wednesday. “I’m happy he’s able to do that. He’s earned that.”
While in Tuscaloosa, check out the Paul W. Bryant Museum, which showcases (what else?) the history of Alabama football. Then hit the road, first to Vicksburg, Miss, one of the most significant sites of the Civil War. From there, it’s slightly more than three hours to New Orleans. Get a po’boy at Domilise’s and dinner at Galatoire’s or JacquesImo’s. Grab?beignets at Cafe du Monde for breakfast. Spend a couple of days, and then it’s another seven hours to College Station, Texas.
Louisville: If Lamar Jackson is protected well enough to stay around the Heisman conversation, Louisville will stay around the playoff conversation. Knowing what Jackson does to a defense doesn’t necessarily give you a better chance to stop it; you just need athletes capable of running him down, like LSU and Houston had late last year. The Cardinals appear ready to once again score a truckload of points and challenge their opponents to keep up, and last year’s lateseason fade that ended on a threegame losing streak will be fresh in everyone’s mind if they enter November ranked in the top 10 again.
And while virtually everybody in the arena expected Pinson, North Carolina’s defensive stopper, to guard Kentucky scoring machine Malik Monk, Williams had other plans. He isn’t convinced that Pinson’s performance matches his reputation. He put Jackson on Monk.
“One of the things I always told Kyle was, ‘The back door is always open. When things are on the line, you’ve gotta hit the ball the other way,'” Perno says. “I saw that hit so many times in my career, I knew it was money. That son of a gun. He was born to be a big leaguer.”
After having their most successful season since 200607 with a 289 record and a Sweet 16 trip in 201617, the Aggies took a step backward this year. While the team figured to regress a bit having lost Danuel House Jr. and Jalen Jones, there was still plenty of reason to be optimistic about its chances. SI.com’s preseason projection system had Texas A ranked No. 37 with a thirdplace finish in the SEC and a 10seed in the NCAA tournament. Instead, the Aggies finished 1615 with an 810 mark in conference play. Defense had been their calling card in 201617, but without House and defensive standouts Alex Caruso and Anthony Collins, they weren’t the same on that end of the floor, with both their defensive turnover percentage and rebounding percentage taking a significant hit.
A healthy dose of running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel provided the Bulldogs all the offense they needed against Appalachian State. Chubb had 96 rushing yards and two touchdowns, with Michel adding 87 yards and another score. Georgia enters a key measuringstick game against Notre Dame without sophomore quarterback Jacob Eason, who injured his knee in the first half. Backup Jake Fromm proved to be a capable replacement, leading three touchdown drives.
Niesen: Michigan. The Wolverines seem like they have the potential for an off year after losing so many players to the NFL this spring. That kind of talent drain is a testament to what Jim Harbaugh has been building in Ann Arbor, but I don’t think Michigan’s depth will prove to be at the level of an Ohio State or Alabama, where it’s simply nextmanup after a major departure.
“I was surprised that midmajors didn’t offer Ryan,” says Northwest Missouri State coach Ben McCollum. “But that’s the thing with a lot of my playersthey don’t quite pass the eye test. My point guard, Justin Pitts, was the DII player of the year, but he’s 5’9″, and 145 pounds, so he doesn’t necessarily look the part. Zach Schneider”a senior power forward who made 46% of his threes on 235 attempts, and started in front of Welty”can really shoot it, but he has a receding hairline and is a step slow. And Ryan Welty is 6’7″ but skinny, so he looks like your nextdoor neighbor.”
Sokol got connected with Tech through one of its assistants, entered a graduate psychology program, and in 2014 he led the Bulldogs to a 95 season. (Rudock, meanwhile, would lose the Hawkeyes’ job to C.J. Beathard in ’14 and leave for Michigan as a graduate transfer, completing a headspinning series of transactions that provides fodder for critics.) The next year, Holtz learned through mutual friends that Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel was looking to follow the same path Sokol had. In ’15, Driskel joined the M.B.A. program at Louisiana Tech and led Holtz’s team to a 94 record. Finally, in ’16, Higgins got his job back, and he too led the Bulldogs to nine wins. “It’s not something that I got into and said, Oh, let’s go this route [forever],” Holtz says. “It was based more on need and the situation that we walked into. If we do what we’re supposed to do, recruit the freshmen and develop them, then [grad transfers] are only for injuries or emergency situations.”
Stanford:?The hunch here is that the Huskies won’t be challenged until November, when they visit Stanford six days after hosting Oregon. The Cardinal will be looking for vengeance after getting destroyed last year on a Friday night in Seattle, 446.
PF: I’m just there to do my job at an elite level just like James Franklin is at Penn State and Pat Fitzgerald and Jim Harbaugh and Urban Meyer. Everyone wants to do their job at an elite level. I’m not doing anything that takes anything to a personal level. I’m just working and doing everything I can that gets University of Minnesota on the map nationally through the recruiting part and football part.
Two brandname programs with designs on reaching the College Football Playoff lost their starting quarterbacks to injuries in Week 1. Florida State’s Deondre Francois will miss the remainder of the season after tearing the patella tendon in his left knee and Georgia’s Jacob Eason will sit out at least this Saturday’s game at Notre Dame due to a sprained knee ligament. The injuries figure to hurt both teams, but Francois’s seems likely to have a more profound effect on the Seminoles than Eason’s will on the Bulldogs, both on the field and on the recruiting trail.
