Uğursuz nəticələri ilə diqqət çəkən “Vulverhempton” 2025/2026-cı illər mövsümünün sonunda İngiltərə Premyer Liqasını tərk edəcək.

Arena.az xəbər verir ki, İngiltərə Premyer Liqasının 2025/2026-cı illər mövsümünün geridə qalmış 33 turundan sonra elitanı tərk edəcək ilk komanda məlum olub.

33-cü turda “Vest Hem”in “Kristal Pelas”la heç-heçə etməsindən (0:0) sonra 20-ci pillədə yer almış “Vulverhempton”un elitada qala bilməyəcəyi dəqiqləşib. 17 xalla 20-ci pillədə olan “canavarlar” sona beş tur qalmış hər oyunda qalib gəlsə belə, autsayderlər zonasından çıxa bilməyəcək.

Rob Edvardsın komandası növbəti mövsümdə Çempionşipdə mübarizə aparacaq.

Xatırladaq ki, bu komanda İngiltərə Premyer Liqasının cari mövsümündə keçirdiyi 33 oyunda cəmi 3 qələbə qazanıb, 8 heç-heçə edib və 22 məğlubiyyətə üzülüb.

“Vulverhempton” 8 il öncə İngiltərə Premyer Liqaya vəsiqə qazanmışdı.

Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, “qartallar”ın futbolçusu Rüfət Abdullazadə zədə səbəbindən görüşü buraxacaq.

Matç saat 19:00-da start götürəcək.

Komandalar arasındakı ilk oyunda “Zirə” qələbə qazanıb – 2:0.

“Azərlotereya” ASC-nin sponsoru olduğu “DH Volley” (“Demirören Holdinq”) komandası qadın voleybolçuların Azərbaycan Yüksək Liqasının final mərhələsində uğurla çıxış edərək gümüş medal qazanıb.

Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, qısa müddətdə formalaşmasına baxmayaraq komandanın əldə etdiyi bu nəticə sistemli hazırlıq, güclü komanda ruhu və davamlı dəstəyin uğurlu vəhdəti kimi qiymətləndirilir.

Final qarşılaşması Azərbaycan Respublikasının Gənclər və İdman Nazirliyinin Voleybol Mərkəzində keçirilib. Qızıl medal uğrunda keçirilən oyunda “DH Volley” komandası “Turan” komandası ilə üz-üzə gəlib. Gərgin mübarizə şəraitində keçən qarşılaşmanın nəticəsində “Turan” birinci yerə layiq görülüb, “DH Volley” ikinci yeri tutaraq gümüş medal qazanıb. Bürünc medala isə “Gəncə” komandası sahib olub.

Mükafatlandırma mərasimində Gənclər və İdman naziri Fərid Qayıbov, Dövlət Gömrük Komitəsinin sədri, Azərbaycan Voleybol Federasiyasının (AVF) prezidenti Şahin Bağırov, “Demirören Holdinq” qrupu İdarə Heyətinin sədri Yıldırım Demirören və digər rəsmi şəxslər iştirak ediblər.

“Kəpəz” Misli Premyer Liqasında son üç oyunu uduzub. Bölgə təmsilçisində baş məşqçi Azər Bağırovla yayda yolların ayrılacağı xəbərləri dolaşır.

Mövzu ilə bağlı komandanın baş məşqçisi Azər Bağırovla danışdıq:

– “Qarabağ” kimi komandaya qalib gələndən sonra son məğlubiyyətlər əsas nədən qaynaqlanır?
– “Qarabağ” kimi komandaya qalib gəlmək nə qədər çətindirsə, bu qələbənin psixoloji baryerini adlamaq ondan da çətin. Düşünürəm ki, bunun hansısa təsirləri ola bilər. Amma artıq üçüncü oyundur. Birinci matçı psixoloji amillə bağlamaq olar. Amma digər görüşlərdə oyunçu çatışmazlığı, diqqətsizlik oldu. Ən öməli məqamsa odur ki, bu gün “Kəpəz” 6-7 legionerdən ibarət komandadır. Digər bütün klublarda 11-12 legioner var. Əvəzetmələrlə belə komandanı gücləndirirlər. Bizdə isə legionerləri yerlilər əvəz edir.

– ⁠”Kəpəz”dən ayrılacağınız ilə bağlı xəbərlər dolaşır.
– Ayrılıq məsələsi gündəmdə deyil. “Kəpəz”də işimiz var və mövsümün sonuna kimi bunu yekunlaşdırmalıyıq. Zaman göstərəcək. Rəhbərliklə danışığımız olub, inşallah, hər şey müsbətə doğru gedər.

– Bu cür xəbərlər komandaya necə təsir edir?
– Futbol insan faktorudur. Klub ətrafında gəzən mənfi xəbərlər, reaksiyalar oyunumuza təsir edə bilər. Yəni, futbolçularda emosional düşüş qaçılmazdır. İnanıram ki, bunun öhdəsindən gələcəyik. Lakin qarşımıza nə hədəf qoyulubsa, onu yerinə yetirəcəyik.

The post Top Altcoins April 2026: Analysts Flag Eight Names as Bitcoin Season Keeps Most Tokens Down appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The crypto market has slipped into green today, with Bitcoin trading around $75,900, up over 2% in the last 24 hours. The total market cap has climbed to roughly $2.5 trillion.

Despite the upside, the market is still in a “Bitcoin season,” with the Altcoin Season Index sitting below 40, meaning most altcoins are still lagging behind BTC’s performance.

Amid this, analysts at Our Crypto Talk dropped a solid watchlist this week:

Kaspa — Event Buzz + Upgrade Catalyst

Kaspa is front and centre at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival this week. KEF is serving as a VIP Lounge Sponsor and featured speaker, while Junny Ho joins the tokenisation panel. On the tech side, the Toccata testnet restart is expected imminently following a recent feature freeze, a critical step toward bringing Kaspa’s Covenants++ upgrade to mainnet.

• Fair launch (no presale/pre-mine), fully community-driven
• ~$940M market cap, still ~84% below ATH

Render Network — AI Demand Surging

• Salad subnet adds ~60K GPUs (RNP-023 approved)
• AI jobs now 35–40% of usage; $210M workload spike
• Token burns up 279% YoY; price testing $1.70 support

Ondo Finance — Leading RWA Narrative

Ondo Finance is a crucial player in the RWA narrative at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival, with Min Lin sharing the stage alongside BlackRock and J.P. Morgan. Even though the token is still 88% below its ATH, its TVL has hit a record $3.6B, with steady growth driven by rising institutional interest.

• Franklin Templeton ETF tokenisation + EU expansion
• Major overhang: 4.67B tokens still locked

Bittensor TAO — Strong Fundamentals, Weak Sentiment

Despite recent selling pressure, Bittensor remains strong. Jacob Steeves is set to speak at Imperial College London on April 24, breaking down decentralized AI, how Bittensor rewards useful work, and how new users can get started.

• 128 subnets generated $43M revenue (Q1 2026)
• 72B parameter AI model trained on the network
• ~20% drop due to developer exit, not fundamentals

LayerZero— Unlock Pressure, Big Institutional Play

LayerZero faces short-term selling but long-term strength. LayerZero faces maximum short-term pressure, a 25.7M token unlock (2.4% of total supply) hit on April 20, released to core contributors and strategic partners. Price dropped sharply. 

• Live on Canton Network (handles $350B daily volume)
• Access to $8T monthly RWAs + 750+ apps
• Backed by major institutions; new “Zero” L1 in works

QUBIC — A feeless Layer 1 focused on AI + compute.

• Qatar regulatory progress + cross-chain expansion
• ~$370K market cap, very low liquidity
• Down 96% from ATH → highly volatile

SUI — A high-speed Layer 1 is getting serious institutional traction.

SUI is gaining strong institutional traction this week. CME Group plans to launch SUI futures on May 4, while the 21Shares SUI ETF is already live on Nasdaq, giving institutions two ways to gain exposure.

• $1T+ stablecoin volume (March), $585M+ TVL
• Token unlocks ongoing; ~82% below ATH

The post Reddit Discussion Warns XRP Price Could Fall After Clarity Act Approval appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The Reddit XRP community is divided over whether a proposed U.S. crypto bill could change the outlook for XRP. One Reddit user started the discussion if the bill actually changes anything for XRP adoption or if it’s more of a symbolic thing?

The draft law, called the “Clarity Act,” aims to set clear rules for digital assets. Supporters say this could reduce uncertainty that has kept banks and large institutions away from the sector.

“Banks are super paranoid about anything that’s legally unclear,” said a Reddit user 

According to the user,  even small areas of uncertainty can lead institutions to avoid a product entirely. This caution has limited interest in XRP despite its focus on cross-border payments, a use case often cited by its supporters.

Clarity Act May Not Drive XRP Adoption

XRP has faced years of legal questions, including a case brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. While parts of that dispute have been settled, uncertainty has lingered.

Several investors said banks have so far avoided XRP mainly due to unclear rules.

“Banks are super paranoid about anything that’s legally unclear,” one investor said, describing how compliance teams tend to reject anything that falls into a grey area.

Some believe that if the law removes that uncertainty, banks could at least begin to explore XRP’s use in cross-border payments.

“Why would a bank suddenly invest in XRP? They don’t need to hold it,” one commenter said.

Why Banks Would use XRP at all

Not all investors agree that clarity would lead to adoption.

One Reddit user challenged the assumption directly: “Why of all things would a bank suddenly invest in XRP? They don’t need to hold it.”

The argument is that banks may use blockchain-based systems without relying on a volatile token, reducing the need for XRP even in a cleaner regulatory environment.

Will the Clarity Act Trigger XRP Sell-off?

However, others warned that the bill itself could become a point for profit-taking rather than long-term growth.

“The Clarity Act would actually be the event that sends XRP down,” one redditor wrote, arguing that new buyers could enter the market while long-time holders exit.

Another investor echoed that view, suggesting any rally could be temporary, with XRP prices rising briefly before “everyone realizes” the impact is limited.

Several commenters said banks are more likely to favour stablecoins, which are designed to maintain a steady value.

“Banks will never use erratic coins … when they can just launch their own stable coins,” one investor said, pointing to the perceived risk of price swings in tokens like XRP.

Limited adoption so far cited as evidence

Investors also pointed to existing partnerships as a reality check. Japan’s SBI Holdings, a long-time backer of Ripple, has held a stake for years but has used XRP mainly through its subsidiary SBI Remit for a small number of remittance corridors.

The group is now promoting broader payment services and stablecoin initiatives with Ripple through SBI Ripple Asia, but adoption remains limited.

Slow pace expected even if the rules are clear

Even those optimistic about the bill said any shift would take time.

“They take forever to make decisions on stuff like this,” one investor said, adding that adoption would likely be gradual rather than immediate.

The discussion highlights a broader divide in crypto markets: whether regulatory clarity will lead to real-world use of assets like XRP, or simply mark a turning point for investors already holding them.

The post Arbitrum Freezes 30K ETH After Exploit: ARB Holding Strong, But Why? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Arbitrum has moved quickly to contain fallout from the KelpDAO exploit, freezing over 30,766 ETH, but the real story is unfolding in the market reaction. Instead of breaking lower, ARB price is holding steady near its base, hinting that selling pressure may already be exhausted. With derivatives positioning shifting and price structure stabilizing, the current setup raises a key question: Is ARB preparing for a reversal while sentiment remains cautious?

Arbitrum Contains Exploit, Limits Market Fallout

In a coordinated emergency response, Arbitrum’s Security Council confirmed the freeze of 30,766 ETH tied to the exploit, acting in collaboration with law enforcement and internal technical teams. The funds have been moved to a secure intermediary wallet, effectively removing access from the exploiter.

The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter’s identity, and, at all times,…

— Arbitrum (@arbitrum) April 21, 2026

Importantly, the intervention was executed without impacting users or applications on the network, reinforcing that the issue remained isolated. The move reflects a controlled containment strategy, reducing the risk of broader contagion across the ecosystem. At the same time, it highlights how governance mechanisms are increasingly being used to manage high-impact on-chain events.

ARB Price Hold Gains, Early Accumulation Emerging

Despite the negative trigger, ARB has not extended its downtrend. Instead, ARB price action is stabilizing within a defined accumulation range between $0.10 and $0.12, where consistent demand has absorbed selling pressure.

The structure shows repeated demand absorption at these lows, suggesting that sellers are losing momentum. More notably, the short-term moving averages have begun to turn upward, with a bullish crossover signaling early momentum recovery. 

However, the larger trend remains capped under a descending resistance zone near $0.18–$0.20. Until that level is reclaimed, the current move remains a base-building phase rather than a confirmed breakout.

For Arbitrum, the next move will likely be dictated by a breakout from this structure. A sustained push above the $0.14–$0.15 region could open upside toward the $0.18–$0.20 resistance zone. On the downside, the $0.10 level remains critical. A breakdown below this base would invalidate the current accumulation narrative and expose ARB to further weakness.

Liquidation Data Signals Shift in Market Dynamics

Derivative data reinforces the evolving setup. During the downtrend, long liquidations dominated, reflecting forced exits and weak positioning. That dynamic is now changing.

Recent sessions show an increase in short liquidations, indicating that bearish positions are being squeezed as price stabilizes. This shift typically marks the early phase of a sentiment reset, where downside conviction begins to weaken. Meanwhile, open interest and trading volume remain stable, suggesting that new positions are being built gradually rather than driven by short-term speculation

Final Words 

Arbitrum’s rapid response to the exploit has contained immediate risks, but the real signal lies in the market’s reaction. With price holding steady, accumulation forming, and short pressure easing, ARB appears to be transitioning out of its weakest phase.

If momentum continues to build and resistance levels are reclaimed, this phase could evolve into a broader reversal. For now, ARB remains in a critical zone, where stability could turn into strength, or hesitation could invite another leg down.

The post Reddit Post Sparks Debate on Whether Ripple’s Own Stablecoin Kills the XRP Use Case appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

A Reddit post has sparked debate inside the XRP community after a user spent two to three hours running XRP’s investment thesis through both Claude and DeepSeek, prompted by a German finance analyst setting a $9 mid-term price target for the token.

What the AI returned was not reassurance. It was a list of structural concerns.

The RLUSD Question

Banks hate volatility. XRP’s original use case was as a bridge currency providing liquidity between fiat pairs via a brief token hop. But Ripple now offers RLUSD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin running on its own infrastructure.

“Ripple is pushing its own stablecoin (RLUSD). Banks hate volatility. Why would they voluntarily take on the price risk of XRP for their transactions when they could just use Ripple’s software to send a price-stable RLUSD? Doesn’t this mean the XRP token loses its most important institutional use case, or am I missing something here?”

If banks can settle transactions using Ripple’s software with a stable asset, why would they voluntarily absorb XRP’s price risk? The post argued this potentially removes XRP’s most important institutional use case by design, replaced by a product Ripple itself created.

The SWIFT and Chainlink Alternative

The AI raised a competing thesis. SWIFT serves over 11,000 institutions globally and is increasingly connecting to blockchains through Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure rather than replacing its existing rails. Analysts cited in the discussion put LINK’s five-year target at $100 to $150 from a current $9 price, with the mathematical argument being that a 10 to 15x move requires significantly less capital than XRP reaching $9.

The AI also flagged heavy sell pressure clustered between $2.40 and $3.00 from long-term holders, making a clean breakout structurally difficult.

The post concluded by framing this as two competing philosophies for global financial settlement, with the implicit suggestion that only one model will ultimately dominate. Ripple is building the rails and the asset, and SWIFT is evolving through Chainlink integration while keeping its existing infrastructure intact.

The post KelpDAO Exploiter Moves 75,700 ETH Across Two New Wallets Minutes After Arbitrum’s Freeze appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The KelpDAO exploiter moved 75,700 ETH (approximately $175 million) across two new wallet addresses on April 21, 2026. This happened just hours after Arbitrum’s Security Council announced that froze 30,766 ETH linked to the same hack. 

Meanwhile, this suggests the attacker is actively trying to stay ahead of recovery efforts.

KelpDAO Exploiter Moves $175M ETH to New Wallets

Arbitrum’s Security Council had hardly finished celebrating their freezing of 30,766 ETH (worth $70 million) when the exploiter made their next move.

According to blockchain security firm PeckShieldAlert, the KelpDAO attacker transferred a total of 75,700 ETH to two brand new wallet addresses. 

On-chain data confirms the transfers are clearly split into two parts.

• Firstly, around 25,000 ETH ($57.93M) were sent to address 0xF980…15910.
• Secondly, around 50,700 ETH ($117.48M) were sent to the address 0xABc8…36FAD.

Meanwhile, both transactions were flagged, and the source wallet is labeled Kelp DAO Exploiter 1 on-chain trackers.

Umbra Cash and THORChain: A Two-Layer Escape Route

What makes this situation more serious is not just how fast the funds are moving, but where they are going.

Small ETH transfers have already gone through Umbra Cash, which hides transaction traces using one-time addresses.

But the movement didn’t stop there. 

Blockchain security firm CertiK reports that the attacker is also shifting funds to Bitcoin using THORChain, a system that allows assets to move between blockchains without a central exchange.

Together, these tools help the attacker first hide the trail on Ethereum and then move funds completely out of the network into Bitcoin, making recovery much harder.

Old Wallet Nearly Empty, Not Even Gas Fees Left

The original wallet has now been almost completely drained. Only about 0.768 ETH remains, not enough to cover future transaction fees. This clearly shows the attacker has exited the address and shifted operations to new wallets.

That freeze clearly triggered an immediate response from the exploiter, who wasted no time scattering the remaining funds.

What Comes Next?

For now, the situation is still tense. All attention is on whether Arbitrum’s Security Council, law enforcement, and blockchain trackers can act quickly enough to follow the new wallet movements.

The 30,766 ETH that was frozen earlier is still safely locked. However, the 75,700 ETH now sitting in two new wallets is not secured, making the next steps very important.

At the same time, security teams are now closely watching these new addresses. Any further movement could give clues about the attacker’s next step.

Leonardo Bonucci insists Pep Guardiola would be ‘very important’ for the Italy national team, but regardless of the new coach, the Azzurri need to start ‘a new chapter.’

Italy have failed to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time and will hire a new coach after June 22.

On that day, a new FIGC President will be elected, leading to the appointment of a new Azzurri boss.

Friendly games at the beginning of June against Greece and Luxembourg will be managed by Italy U21 coach Silvio Baldini.

“I read in the newspapers that Guardiola is a possibility, as is Conte or Allegri,” Bonucci told Sky Sports UK.

“The most important [thing] is that there’s a new chapter for Italian football and players. I love him, I think he’s one of the best coaches in the world, so he could be very important for us.”

Bonucci had already spoken about Guardiola’s potential appointment as the Italy national team coach, saying: “I think it’s very hard, but dreaming doesn’t cost anything.”

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Romelu Lukaku has received a €150,000 fine from Napoli, equivalent to 20% of his gross monthly salary, as the Belgian’s summer exit appears inevitable.

Lukaku has received a €150,000 fine from his club Napoli, 20% of his gross monthly salary, according to Gazzetta.

Lukaku returned to Naples from Belgium after over two weeks and met club director Giovanni Manna on Monday.

The Partenopei allowed Lukaku to return to Antwerp but retained 20% of his monthly gross salary, as the striker had spent the previous two weeks away from the club without consent.

As several sources, including TMW, claim, Lukaku’s summer exit now seems inevitable.

The striker’s agent, Federico Pastorello, was also involved in the meeting on Monday and will be tasked with finding a new club for his client, who has one more year left in his contract at the Stadio Maradona.

Lukaku, 32, suffered a serious muscle injury at the beginning of the season, which forced him to the sidelines in the first part of the campaign.

Lukaku has only scored one goal in seven appearances this season, none as a starter.

According to various sources, Lukaku didn’t meet Antonio Conte on Monday, but the striker hopes to be fit for the last three Serie A games of the season and will spend the next two weeks in Belgium to regain full fitness.

When Chelsea proudly handed Liam Rosenior a massive six-and-a-half-year contract back in January, it was supposed to signal the start of a promising project at the club.

Fast forward just a few months, and that dream is rapidly turning into a full-blown nightmare.

Following a humiliating string of results, including an agonising 1-0 defeat to Manchester United that marked their fourth consecutive Premier League game without scoring a single goal, the atmosphere in West London has turned incredibly toxic.

Now, according to Football Insider, the Blues are ready to show confidence in the young manager and they feel that he needs a proper pre-season to stamp his authority on the squad.

Chelsea continue to support Liam Rosenior

Despite being known for being ruthless and impatient, the Chelsea hierarchy have decided to support the struggling manager.

Chelsea’s current form is historically awful. You have to look all the way back to 1998 to find the last time the Blues suffered four straight league defeats without finding the back of the net.

Add a brutal 8-2 aggregate thrashing by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League Round of 16 into the mix, it would be normal for them to consider ending Rosenior’s time at the club.

However, they still feel that the manager is young and needs more time to prove himself and they are ready to provide him with the resources to succeed at the club.

Fans are upset with the direction of the club

It is clear that the fans are unhappy right now and want to see changes at the club.

Before their defeat against Man United, Chelsea fans were out in numbers to protest against the current ownership of the club.

They are not only disappointed with the results on the pitch but also with broken promises from the club hierarchy and their transfer strategy that has focused on signing young, inexperienced players when it is clear that they need more experience in the team.

Club chiefs feel Rosenior took charge of the club in a difficult time and it was understood from the start that it would take a monumental effort to save the season.

That is why they are determined to give him till next season to judge his performances and determine his future.

Contact made: Chelsea take first step towards signing 24-year-old attacking sensation

The post Chelsea make decision on the future of struggling boss Rosenior after worrying form appeared first on CaughtOffside.

According to TEAMtalk, the Arsenal hierarchy is actively preparing to push the boat out for what Mikel Arteta considers his ultimate dream signing: Athletic Club’s electrifying winger, Nico Williams.

If you’ve watched any La Liga or Spanish national team football over the last couple of years, you know exactly why Williams is commanding such intense attention.

At just 23 years old, he has firmly established himself as one of Europe’s premier wide forwards, boasting a terrifying combination of raw pace, technical trickery, and sharp decision-making in the final third.

Arsenal have long term admiration for Williams

Arsenal actually tried to lure him to North London last summer, but the loyal winger opted to stay put in Bilbao, signing a bumper new contract that significantly bumped up his release clause from €60 million to a hefty €90 million (£78.3m).

However, the landscape has seemingly shifted in recent months. Rumours suggest Williams is growing increasingly frustrated with Athletic Club’s lack of upward trajectory and is finally open to taking the next massive step in his career to compete for the biggest trophies.

To facilitate such a massive outlay and clear vital squad space, the Gunners might have to make some incredibly ruthless decisions.

Competition	Appearances	Goals	Assists	Yellow Cards	Red Cards	Minutes Played

Gunners have to make tough decisions to balance squad

The report notes that established Brazilian stars Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus are potentially being considered as high-profile sacrifices to fund the move and balance the wage bill.

Arteta has spent the last few years meticulously crafting a squad capable of dominating English football, and bringing in a dynamic game-changer like Nico Williams would be the ultimate statement of sustained ambition.

Having struggled to win trophies this season despite showing promise all season, Arteta feels that the wide attacking positions need new players and Williams is someone high on his agenda.

Whether Arsenal end this current campaign with major silverware or fall just short, it’s abundantly clear the boardroom is perfectly willing to be aggressive in the transfer market to ensure they remain in contention for major honours in years to come.

No. 7 Texas A&M (37–7, 12–5 SEC) returns to Blue Bell Park on Tuesday night for a midweek matchup against the UTSA Roadrunners, looking to secure another quality non‑conference win as the postseason picture sharpens.

Midweek games have been unpredictable for the Aggies this season, and with a bullpen stretched thin, they simply don’t have the same volume of reliable arms available outside of SEC play. That reality could prompt a few lineup adjustments, both to manage workload and to get additional players meaningful reps, while still keeping the focus on winning the game.

Offensively, A&M continues to look nearly unstoppable. The Aggies are averaging 8.4 runs over their last five SEC contests and lead the conference in on‑base percentage. Defensively, they’ve been just as impressive, fielding at a .983 clip despite starting two true freshmen in the infield and shifting several veterans into new positions. Cohesion and consistency have been major storylines over the last month.

UTSA enters as a dangerous opponent, much like Texas State, fully capable of walking into Blue Bell Park and stealing a midweek result. The Roadrunners are led by senior Drew Detlefsen, who recently earned his second American Athletic Conference Player of the Week honor this season. As a team, they’re hitting .310 with a .428 on‑base percentage. They don’t rely heavily on the long ball, but they do feature two hitters with double‑digit home run totals, giving them enough pop to punish mistakes.

Tuesday marks the 36th meeting between the programs, with Texas A&M holding a 24–11 advantage. The Aggies have won seven of the last 10 matchups, though UTSA claimed last year’s contest 7–4. A&M will look to flip that result and maintain momentum heading into another critical SEC weekend.

Will the Carolina Panthers build their 2026 NFL Draft class from the inside out?

ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter dished out some intriguing draft intel in the latest episode of his podcast from Monday. And when it comes to the Panthers' first-round plans, Schefter seemed pretty adamant that the focus should be on the offensive line.

"To me, it's a trenches pick. It's a trenches pick," he firmly stated. "That's the one that makes the most sense, and it's another one of those teams that falls into that offensive-line hunt that we're talking about that's going on from roughly 11 to 31."

“To me it’s a trenches pick” -@AdamSchefter#KeepPoundingpic.twitter.com/bGfTnXQAID

Carolina is smack-dab in the middle of that range, as they're set to enter Thursday night at the 19th overall spot of the selection process. That pick could be used to help build the offensive trench, which will have questions at left and right tackle following 2026.

Starting left tackle Ikem Ekwonu, who is recovering from a torn patellar tendon, will likely give way to free-agent signee Rasheed Walker—at least in the early goings of the upcoming campaign. Both are not under contract with the Panthers beyond this year.

Right tackle Taylor Moton, meanwhile, will be 33 years old before the start of the 2027 season and may be a prime cut candidate.

Some notable offensive line prospects that may be available to Carolina at that 19th pick include Alabama's Kadyn Proctor, Arizona State's Max Iheanachor, Clemson's Blake Miller, Georgia's Monroe Freeling and Utah's Caleb Lomu.

Monday saw the Cowboys put a major piece of business to bed, making kicker Brandon Aubrey the highest-paid leg in the game and ending any speculation that someone else could sneak in and lure him away. Afterward, Aubrey had the perfect answer when asked what's next for him, and his record payday deserves a look back at his incredible NFL journey that began on the couch and with a software engineer job.

Draft Week is here, bringing with it a final round of mock exercises, rumors, and what-if scenarios. Today's headlines go behind the scenes of the Dexter Lawrence trade to explore how it affects the Cowboys, and one insider spills the very plausible perfect storm of picks that could put the Cowboys in line to grab one of this year's premier defenders. Dallas needs great defensive talent in a bad way... but the whole thing actually hinges on whether or not there's an early run on offensive linemen.

There's plenty of intrigue elsewhere, too, as the draft nears. Could the Raiders actually be talked into trading out of the top spot? And how can a presumptive second-round wide receiver be arrested the weekend before the draft and not see his stock drop? The case of Zachariah Branch is a strange one, to be sure. Meanwhile, an A.J. Brown trade seems sure to happen, but not until after the draft, so don't expect any picks to change hands for the Eagles or Patriots.

Around the league, the 49ers' standoff with offensive lineman Trent Williams is over, Patrick Mahomes was back with the Chiefs to start the offseason workout program... and spark new rumors about his rehab progress, and Odell Beckham may be making a comeback with the Giants. Also, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo may be hanging up his cleats after a mostly mediocre yet highly-lucrative career, and Rod Martin, the Raiders linebacker who saved his greatest game for the biggest stage of them all, has passed away.

Mock draft season is thankfully almost over as the real NFL draft descends upon us this week in Pittsburgh. Experts have mocked a dozen players to the New York Giants the past few months, from linebackers and safeties to offensive linemen and running backs.

Few, however, predict the Giants will select a pass rusher with the fifth overall pick. That is, before they traded away defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence this past weekend to the Cincinnati Bengals for the tenth overall selection.

With two high picks in their pockets, the Giants can afford to grab the best available player and a player at a position of need.

FOX Sports' top college football analyst, Joel Klatt, published his final mock draft on Monday, and this is what he sees the Giants doing in Round 1.

Are the Giants trying to package their two top-10 picks to move further up? I don't know about that. But I do know they love one of these offensive players in this draft. I think they're moving around and trying to position themselves into a place where they can target and draft Jordyn Tyson. I don't think they'll need to draft him at No. 5, though. I know pass rusher isn't a specific need for the Giants, but if you can get the best pure pass rusher in the draft, you go and do that. I've also been told the Giants aren't in on Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles.

General manager Joe Schoen insists the Giants will select the best available player on their board when they are on the clock in this draft. If that is the case, the pick here should be Bailey, a polished edge rusher who has been compared to Denver's Nik Bonitto.

Former Giants GM Ernie Accorsi always said that you can't have enough pass rushers, and he knows a few things about that. A pass rush that includes Baliey, Brian Burns, and Abdul Carter in one that could set the NFL on its ear.

This pick makes even more sense if Schoen unloads Kayvon Thibodeaux before the draft.

Truth be told, I had a previous edition of a mock draft ready to go — until the Giants opted to trade defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals for the 10th overall pick. That mock draft will never see the light of day, though, and I now know that they're targeting Tyson, like I said before. Tyson's had some injury history, but he's got great athletic bloodlines and teams have really fallen in love with him. He's rising up draft boards as we get closer to the draft.

The Giants want to get a complementary receiver across from Malik Nabers, and they are reportedly smitten with Tyson, a former college teammate of running back Cam Skattebo.

Tyson and Nabers would make a deadly 1-2 combo for second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart. Throw in the rest of the wide receiver room (Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III) and the tight ends (Isaiah Likely, Theo Johnson), and opposing defensive coordinators will have many a sleepless night preparing for this Giants' vertical passing offense.

This video raises a question we’ve seen quite often in recent years: Could Larry Bird still dominate today? Or would be be a role player?

The answer is yes, he could still run the league, and for a few reasons.

First, Bird was, as Joe Dumar once said, a basketball savant. Do you think Charles Barkley could play today? Magic Johnson? Michael Jordan? Isaiah Thomas? James Worthy?

Of course they could – and they all said Bird was the one whom they feared most, who gave them sleepless nights.

The main criticism of Bird is that he was slow and couldn’t jump. Well, neither can Nikola Jokić or Luka Dončić, and both of those guys will be in the Hall of Fame, because they, like Bird, can force the game to adapt to them, rather than vice-versa.

If nothing else, Bird’s passing ability was off the charts, and his hand-eye coordination was superb. So was his ability to keep track of everything happening on the court: he didn’t have to see his teammates to know where they were.

What also really works in Bird’s favor is this: in his heyday, the NBA was far, far more physical than it is today. Go look at some Bill Laimbeer highlights.

The NBA in the 1980s could be brutal. Consider the courage Thomas had to go into the lane the way he did at his size, and consider also the Jordan Rules the Pistons had for #23. They all knew they were going to get a beating every game.

It’s not like that now. The game is far more open, and Bird would either drive, pass, or hit jumpers at will.

Finally, there are some other factors that would work in his favor. The first is personal. Bird’s desire to dominate would propel him in today’s game, too. His mindset is far different from anyone in today’s NBA. He would sneer at 90 percent of the players in the league now.

And second, the advances in training, nutrition, equipment, and medical care would have really helped him. Just for one thing, a back problem ended Bird’s career. The treatment options today are far better.

Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit has put his finger on the single biggest issue dragging Manchester United down, warning that AC Milan are suffering from the exact same ailment.

Champions League beckons

United are currently on the cusp of a sensational return to the Champions League, having beaten Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Matheus Cunha scored the only goal of the contest to draw United closer to qualifying for the continent’s most prestigious competition. The Red Devils sit in third place in the Premier League table, level on points with fourth-placed Aston Villa.

Michael Carrick and his players need just six points from their remaining five games to be mathematically qualified.

The additional revenue generated by Champions League participation will undoubtedly increase United’s summer spending power, enabling them to pursue higher-quality players. Furthermore, it will enhance the club’s attractiveness as a destination.

There is certainly plenty to look forward to as a fan, but Gullit believes that there is still a key flaw holding United back.

Gullit’s claim

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Gullit said that United, just like Milan, are still stuck in the past.

The 63-year-old told the newspaper, “Man United think too much of the past.”

“That’s the past. It’s like Milan. That’s the past, also.”

“You have to find a new way in order to come back. You have to be proactive.”

While United have not won the Premier League since 2013 when the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Milan lifted the Scudetto during the 2021/22 season.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side are also set to be in the Champions League next season. They’re currently second in Serie A.

United are next in action on Monday when they host Brentford at Old Trafford.

The Atlanta Falcons have made several changes since the start of NFL free agency, and now the team is locked in on the 2026 NFL Draft. Round 1 kicks off on Thursday, April 23, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

While the Falcons are hoping to make the most out of their five selections, they can't expect many to find many impact players with their first pick not coming until the middle of the second round. Although, anything can happen and last year, the team found two mid-round starters in Xavier Watts and Billy Bowman Jr.

The Falcons recently signed offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor and traded for defensive tackle Maason Smith, both of whom we expect to see start next season. We'll have to wait and see what general manager Ian Cunningham has up his sleeve, but we don't expect many major lineup changes following the draft.

In May, Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois will clash in the kind of fight that always entices boxing fans: an all-British heavyweight title bout.

Wardley enters the main-event showdown with an unbeaten record, having bailed himself out in his last two fights; against Justis Huni then Joseph Parker, the Ipswich boxer was down on the scorecards when he secured late knockouts.

The October win over Parker saw Wardley, 31, win the interim WBO title, which was later upgraded when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the regular belt. And Wardley may be able to edge closer to a fight with Usyk if he can overcome Dubois, 28.

Last time out, in July, Dubois suffered his second stoppage loss to Usyk, dropping the IBF title to the Ukrainian in the process. But Dubois remains a dangerous opponent for anyone in the division, and it feels like a KO is guaranteed when he faces Wardley.

Here’s all you need to know:

When is the fight?

Wardley vs Dubois will take place on Saturday 9 May at the Co-op Live in Manchester. Timings for the event have not yet been announced, but the main card will likely begin at 7pm BST (11am PT / 1pm CT / 2pm ET), with main-event ring walks following at around 10pm BST (2pm PT / 4pm CT / 5pm ET).

Northamptonshire head coach Darren Lehmann has signed a new two-year contract until the end of the 2029 season.

The former Australia batter was appointed in October 2024 and led Northants to T20 Finals Day for the first time in nine years during his first campaign in charge, including an impressive quarter-final win against Surrey.

The club have drawn all three County Championship matches this season and sit second in Division Two.

"It was an easy decision for me because I love the place," Lehmann said.

"Everyone has made it such a family club for me, so I'm delighted to be carrying on here.

"We just want to keep improving and hopefully we represent the club proudly along the way."

• England players do not play enough county cricket - Lehmann

Lehmann was Australia head coach from 2013 to 2018, winning two Ashes series and the 2015 World Cup.

He has also coached Northern Superchargers in The Hundred, Deccan Chargers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Sheffield Shield and Brisbane Heat in Australia's Big Bash League (BBL).

"We're all thrilled to have secured Darren's services for another two years. It's been an excellent fit since his first day and he's taking the club in a really positive direction," said Northamptonshire CEO Ray Payne.

"Darren's transparency and connection with the supporters has made a notable impact and the excitement around what the following years could bring on the field is a testament to his work so far."

Northamptonshire host Worcestershire in their next match, starting on Friday, 1 May.

Fresh off an appearance in the National Championship game, it's clear the Wisconsin Badgers men's hockey program is continuing to get better.

Head coach Mike Hastings may have had quite a few players sign professional contracts, but that just goes to show how talented this program truly is.

Losing to Denver wasn't easy, but Wisconsin hasn't lost a single player to the transfer portal this offseason. In fact, College Hockey News used their CHIP system (College Hockey Individual Point value) to determine that the Badgers are this season's biggest winner in the portal.

Wisconsin is currently +116.5, according to College Hockey Insider Mike McMahon. Of the Top 10 teams, no other program is in triple digits. For reference, No. 10 UMD and No. 9 Quinnipiac combine for +120.4.

This ranking system hurts teams who have a ton of players entering the portal, but rewards them for adding big names. Arguably, no team has added bigger names than Wisconsin. Hastings additions of J.J. Wiebusch and Alexis Cournoyer more than justify this ranking, and Badgers fans shouldn't forget they also added Dylan Compton.

The Football Association has fined Cardiff City £15,000 after the club's fans aimed homophobic chants at Chelsea.

Premier League side Chelsea beat League One Cardiff 3-1 in an EFL Cup quarter-final at Cardiff City Stadium on 16 December.

Cardiff say they have also been issued with an "action plan" by the FA for the abusive, offensive, homophobic and discriminatory chant during the second minute of the fixture.

A club spokesman said that while Cardiff acknowledge the charge and accept the incident happened, they will be lodging an appeal against what they believe to be an "excessive" fine imposed.

The Welsh club say they will present evidence that they took all reasonable measures to educate and inform and acted immediately on the night with removal of individuals and big screen messaging.

• Latest Cardiff City news, analysis and fan views

A club statement read: "The chant is defined as a homophobic slur and was made a prosecutable offence for anyone found to sing or use the words by the Crown Prosecution Service in January 2022. The Football Association considers this specific chant a breach of FA Rules (rule E21) and has thus pursued formal disciplinary action the club.

"The imposed action plan remains active until the conclusion of the 2026-27 season and will include the development of existing initiatives in respect of awareness and accountability.

"The club acknowledges the sanction. Cardiff City Football Club has a zero-tolerance policy to all forms of discrimination and will continue to work with the police and governing bodies to eradicate the scourge from our game and society."

While today's sports fans may not be able to imagine an American sports scene without basketball, more than 115 years passed between the signing of the "Declaration of Independence" and the first game of hoops in Springfield, Massachusetts.

James Naismith's invention began its spread across the nation in 1891. One year later, colleges began playing. The NBA was founded in 1949, and George Mikan quickly became the first professional basketball superstar. Now, as we near our nation's 250th birthday, we look back at the best U.S. athletes to play this uniquely American sport.

Now, on to the list of our nation's top homegrown men's basketball players:

Michael Jordan, Laney High School (NC)

Jordan first became a national star when he hit the game-winning shot for North Carolina in the 1982 national championship game. He then took the NBA to new global heights as a six-time champion with the Chicago Bulls and member of the original Dream Team. Jordan won five NBA MVP awards and his "Air Jordan" shoe line and Jordan brand transformed Nike and the basketball apparel industry.

LeBron James, St. Vincent-St. Mary High School (OH)

James was a high school sensation who lived up to all the hype to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and the most influential player of his generation. The Akron, Ohio native has won four NBA titles with three different teams, three MVP awards and three Olympic gold medals. He ushered in the league's player empowerment era when he made "The Decision" to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in 2010 and became the first NBA player to earn more than $1 billion in salary during his active career.

Kobe Bryant, Lower Merion High School (PA)

The 5-time NBA champion spent his entire 20-year NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers, initially starring alongside Shaquille O'Neal en route to three-straight titles (2000-02) under coach Phil Jackson. Bryant then won two more NBA championships without O'Neal and earned league MVP honors in 2008. He died tragically in a helicopter crash in Southern California in January 2020.

Stephen Curry, Charlotte Christian School (NC)

The greatest 3-point shooter in NBA history burst onto the scene as a March Madness star who led the country in scoring and set NCAA records for 3-point shooting at Davidson. Curry then led the Golden State Warriors to four NBA championships and his infectious style of play, with the ability to hit shots from anywhere inside the halfcourt line, helped change the way the game is played by relying on the 3-point shot to historic levels.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Power Memorial Academy (NY)

Abdul-Jabbar, under the name Lew Alcindor, led Power Memorial Academy to a national record 71-straight wins and won three-straight NCAA championships at UCLA (1967-69) while being named Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament in all three appearances. Abdul-Jabbar won an NBA record six MVP awards and six NBA titles with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers. The skyhook became his signature move.

Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, Everett High School (MI)

Johnson's rivalry with Larry Bird, beginning when Johnson won an NCAA championship with Michigan State over Bird's Indiana State team in 1979, jumpstarted the NBA's growth during the 1980s. Johnson won five NBA titles and three MVP awards, revolutionizing the point guard position and turning the "Showtime" Lakers into a national sensation with his combination of size, court vision and sublime passing skills.

Larry Bird, Springs Valley High School (IN)

Bird became a household name after leading Indiana State to the 1979 national championship game and began a career-long rivalry with Magic Johnson that helped define an entire generation of NBA basketball. "The Hick From French Lick" won three NBA championships and three-straight MVP awards (1984-86) with the Boston Celtics. He is also the only person in NBA history to be named rookie of the year, MVP, NBA Finals MVP, NBA All-Star Game MVP, coach of the Year, and executive of the Year.

Bill Russell, McClymonds High School (CA)

Russell led San Francisco to back-to-back NCAA titles (1955-56) and served as captain of the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team that won a gold medal at the 1956 Melbourne Games before becoming the most important figure of the NBA's greatest dynasty. Russell won 11 NBA championships in 13 seasons with the Boston Celtics as a dominating defensive force, including eight titles in a row at one point. He also served as a player-coach for the Celtics later in his career, becoming the first Black coach in a major U.S. sport and the first to win an NBA championship in 1969.

Wilt Chamberlain, Overbrook High School (PA)

Chamberlain's prodigious ability on offense using his 7-foot-1 frame allowed him to lead the NBA in scoring, rebounding and assists at various points in his legendary career. He is the only player in NBA history to score 100 points in a game and the only player to average more than 30 points and 20 rebounds for a season. He won two NBA championships and four MVP awards, with his matchups against Bill Russell's Celtics turning into the league's biggest attraction for years.

Shaquille O'Neal, Cole High School (TX)

O'Neal's combination of size, power, footwork and personality made him a dominating figure on and off the court during his NBA career, initially when he was drafted No. 1 overall by the Orlando Magic in 1992 and later when he won NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat. He is one of only three players in NBA history to win the regular-season MVP award, All-Star Game MVP award and NBA Finals MVP award in the same year (2000). He remains a ubiquitous presence with his role on "Inside the NBA" and a plethora of endorsement deals.

Tim Duncan, St. Dunstan's Episcopal High School (U.S. Virgin Islands)

Duncan won five NBA titles and three MVP awards over 19 years with the San Antonio Spurs, emerging as arguably the greatest power forward of all-time thanks to his remarkable consistency. He is the only player in NBA history to earn all-NBA and all-defense honors in each of his first 13 seasons.

Kevin Durant, Montrose Christian School (MD)

"The Slim Reaper" is viewed as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history, with four Olympic gold medals, two NBA championships, one NBA Finals MVP and a regular-season MVP to his credit. He remains one of the league's stars after finishing his 18th NBA regular season with the Houston Rockets this year.

Allen Iverson, Bethel High School (VA)

Iverson was one of the most influential players of his time because of his fearless athleticism as a 6-foot guard, his signature crossover move, his embrace of hip-hop culture and even his hairstyle (cornrows). Iverson was a four-time NBA scoring champion who won MVP in 2011 when he led the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA Finals.

Oscar Robertson, Crispus Attucks High School (IN)

Robertson, or "The Big O," is one of the NBA's greatest point guards and the first player in league history to average a triple-double over an entire season. The 1964 MVP and 11-time all-NBA selection also forced the NBA to become the first major American professional sports league to establish free agency when he filed class-action antitrust lawsuit that led to the "Oscar Robertson Rule" in 1976.

Elgin Baylor, Spingarn High School (DC)

Little-recruited out of Washington, D.C. due to segregation laws, Baylor led Seattle University to the 1958 national championship game and became a significant NBA star over 14 years with the Lakers. Baylor earned first team all-NBA honors 10 times and is credited with bringing a more athletic and creative style to the game, using superior hang time and an array of mid-air moves to become one of the most emulated players of his generation.

Jerry West, East Bank High School (WV)

West led West Virginia to the 1959 national championship game and served as co-captain of the gold-medal winning 1960 U.S. Olympic men's basketball team. Nicknamed "The Logo" because his silhouette became part of the league's logo, he was named all-NBA in 12 of his 14 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers and remains the only player to be voted NBA Finals MVP from the losing team. He also won six NBA championships as the Lakers' general manager and was twice named NBA executive of the year, with the Lakers (1995) and Memphis Grizzlies (2004).

Julius Erving, Roosevelt High School (NY)

Known as "Dr. J," Erving was the best player in the ABA when it merged with the NBA in 1976 and earned four MVP awards between the two leagues. He won two ABA titles with the Nets before winning an NBA championship in 1983 as part of the Philadelphia 76ers. Erving is also considered one of basketball's greatest dunkers, both in games and during Slam Dunk contests.

Moses Malone, Petersburg High School (VA)

Malone is one of the greatest rebounders of all-time who starred in the ABA and NBA over 21 seasons after becoming the first player in modern basketball to go directly from high school to the professional ranks. Malone was named NBA MVP three times and won an NBA title with the Philadelphia 76ers in 1983.

Kevin Garnett, Farragut Career Academy (IL)/Mauldin High School (SC)

Garnett starred for the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics, and "The Big Ticket" remains one of five players in league history to have been named the NBA's MVP award and its defensive player of the year at various points of his 21-year career. Garnett was a 15-time All-Star who won an NBA championship with the Celtics in 2008.

Charles Barkley, Leeds High School (AL)

Barkley is arguably the NBA's best undersized power forward and the 1993 MVP winner remains one of the league's most influential voices through his role on "Inside the NBA." Barkley, a member of the original Dream Team, was a 10-time all-NBA selection during his NBA career with the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets.

Karl Malone, Summerfield High School (LA)

Malone, nicknamed the "Mailman," ranks third all-time on the NBA's scoring list and won two MVP awards teaming with point guard John Stockton on the Utah Jazz. He was a first team all-NBA selection for 11-straight seasons (1989-99).

David Robinson, Osbourn Park High School (VA)

Nicknamed "The Admiral" for his standout college career at Navy, in which he experienced a massive growth spurt, Robinson became a perennial NBA All-Star with the San Antonio Spurs upon fulfilling a two-year military commitment. He was the 1995 NBA MVP and won two NBA titles, while leading the league in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots at various points.

Isiah Thomas, St. Joseph High School (IL)

Thomas, one of the league's greatest point guards, was the leader of the 1981 Indiana men's basketball team that won a national championship and the "Bad Boy" Pistons teams that won NBA championships in 1988 and 1989. He ranked third in assists in NBA history when he retired.

John Havlicek, Bridgeport High School (OH)

Havlicek, known as "Hondo," won eight NBA championships with the Boston Celtics and retired in 1978 as the NBA's all-time leader in games played and third on the league's all-time scoring list.

George Mikan, Joliet Catholic (IL)

Mikan led the nation in scoring and won an NIT title at DePaul and then helped define the sport in its formative years because of his size. Mikan's dominance inside as a scorer, rebounder and shot blocker led to the creation of the goaltending rule and the "Mikan Rule" that widened the lane under the basket. He won seven NBA/NBL championships in an eight-year span (1947-54) with the Minneapolis Lakers. Mikan was one of the founders of the ABA and served as the league's first commissioner after his playing career.

Bob Cousy, Andrew Jackson High School (NY)

"The Houdini of the Hardwood" helped transform the point guard position for the modern era with his fast-paced dribbling and fantastic passing skills. He led the NBA in assists eight times, won six NBA championships and earned league MVP honors in 1957. Cousy also helped establish the NBA Players Association as the first trade union among the major U.S. professional sports leagues and served as its first president.

Pete Maravich, Daniel High School (SC)

"Pistol Pete" Maravich is the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history at LSU (1967-70) and averaged more than 44 points per game before the introduction of the 3-point line and shot clock. He was also a four-time all-NBA selection with the Atlanta Hawks and New Orleans/Utah Jazz.

Chris Paul, West Forsyth High School (NC)

Paul ranks second on the NBA's all-time assists lists after his 21st and final NBA season this year. The 6-foot point guard is an 11-time all-NBA selection and one of three players in league history to record 20,000 points, 10,000 assists and 2,000 steals for his career.

Meadowlark Lemon, Wiliston High School (NC)

Lemon had a legendary 24-year run with the Harlem Globetrotters thanks to halfcourt hook shots, dribbling tricks and charisma that earned him the "Clown Prince" nickname.

Dwyane Wade, Harold L. Richards High School (IL)

Wade won three NBA championships with the Miami Heat during a 16-year NBA career in which he became one of the sport's best shooting guards. He was named to eight all-NBA teams and 13 All-Star teams.

Penn State football will have a completely overhauled roster to get to know in 2026 under new head coach Matt Campbell. Following one of the most active offseasons in recent memory for Penn State with a flurry of activity in the transfer portal, fans will have a lot of catching up to do in getting to know this year's Penn State roster. Fortunately, not every face will be brand new to fans. Regardless, we will be here to give you a fresh overview of every player on the roster for the 2026 season with a series of player profiles.

From all of the returning players, a long list of new faces from the transfer portal, and incoming recruits from the Class of 2026, we will have you covered with this year's player profiles for the Penn State roster. Here is a quick look at cornerback Tyrell Chatman for the 2026 season.

Preseason Player Profile

• Hometown: Lincoln, Nebraska
• Height: 6-2
• Weight: 198
• Class in 2026: Freshman

Recruiting Rankings

Class of 2026: Composite three-star prospect, No. 50 safety per 247Sports

Chatman was one of many flips for the Nittany Lions from Iowa State in the 2026 recruiting cycle. After de-committing from the Cyclones in December 2025, he officially signed with Penn State in February.

Career Stats

Chatman has not yet played a snap for the Nittany Lions. However, in his high school career at Lincoln North Star, he recorded 88 tackles, 21 pass breakups and four interceptions.

Depth Chart Overview

Chatman could actually end up being a likely candidate to redshirt his freshman season as the depth of the cornerback room in Happy Valley does not allow for many snaps for underclassmen. Still, the fact he is already gaining muscle and willing to put in the work shows he could be one of the Nittany Lions' more intriguing defensive prospects.

Random Fact

Chatman actually flipped his commitment twice last cycle, originally signing on to paly for Northern Illinois, before making the switch to Iowa State, and then to Penn State.

The Cleveland Browns are going to be one of the most interesting teams to watch during the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Browns are one of five NFL teams armed with two, first-round selections. The team has a clear-cut need to upgrade an offense that scored the second-fewest points per game last season (16.4) to give first-year coach Todd Monken a chance to successfully install his offense.

The Browns are also facing a question about whether or not they will select a quarterback. They aren't expected to target one in the first round, but will they really be comfortable rolling with a unit of Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel in 2026?

It's possible, especially if the team is keeping one eye on the 2027 NFL Draft class, which looks stronger at the quarterback position. But Cleveland could still opt to add something to its quarterback room, if only to give Monken another option to watch in what once again figures to be the NFL's most wide-open quarterback battle.

Here's a look at how the Browns could upgrade their roster during the 2026 NFL Draft.

Cleveland Browns mock draft

Round 1, Pick 6: WR Carnell Tate, Ohio State

The Browns seem likely to add a wide receiver and an offensive tackle with their first two selections in the 2026 NFL Draft. It isn't clear yet which position they will prioritize, but if they go with a wide receiver at No. 6, Tate is most likely to be the pick.

Tate is one of the draft's most polished receiver prospects. He is a smooth route runner who showed the ability to be a downfield threat thanks to his soft hands and contested-catch capabilities. He would be a nice partner for Jerry Jeudy and would provide Watson and Sanders a much-improved receiver room.

Round 1, Pick 24: OT Kadyn Proctor, Alabama

Proctor may actually be in play for the Browns with the No. 6 overall pick, though they would probably like to trade down to get him. Either way, Cleveland has a big need at left tackle, where Dawand Jones is currently penciled in as the starter, and Proctor has the skills needed to fill that position.

Proctor has incredible size at 6-7, 352 pounds, but he has rare movement skills considering his frame. He will need to work on his consistency at the NFL level, but if he puts it all together, the 20-year-old could emerge as the best tackle from this year's class.

Round 2, Pick 39: CB D'Angelo Ponds, Indiana

Ponds is an interesting prospect. He doesn't exactly have prototypical NFL size at 5-9, 182 pounds, but he was hyper productive across three seasons at James Madison and Indiana, generating 169 tackles, seven interceptions and 33 pass defenses.

The Browns have a strong cornerback tandem in Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell but could use an upgrade at the nickel position, where Ponds would be an ideal fit.

Round 3, Pick 70: WR Zachariah Branch, Georgia

Here's another smaller-stature playmaker for the Browns. Branch (5-9, 177 pounds) was a screen maven at Georgia and was hard to tackle with the ball in his hands. He showed great speed and elusiveness as a receiver and a return man, so he would be an ideal slot-man for Cleveland.

Branch has also drawn comparisons to Zay Flowers, who Monken coached in Baltimore, so that could be enough to convince the first-year coach to double-dip at the receiver position early.

Round 4, Pick 107: Edge LT Overton, Alabama

The Browns could use some depth along the edge behind Myles Garrett. Overton doesn't have the athleticism and burst for which teams typically look in an edge player, but his sizable 6-3, 274-pound frame should make him a quality edge-setter.

Overton can win with physicality at the point of attack and may also be able to play inside at the NFL level. He's a bit of a tweener, but Cleveland can find a role for him.

Round 5, Pick 146: LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr, TCU

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah suffered a neck injury in 2024 and hasn't played since. Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Kabot reported earlier in the offseason it's "doubtful at best" that he will play again, so the Browns have to start planning for a future without him.

Cleveland started that process by signing veteran Quincy Williams in free agency to pair with Carson Schwesinger. The Browns still need depth at the position, however, so grabbing Elarms-Orr – who has good athleticism and notched a career-best 130 tackles in 2025 – to develop as a backup seems like a solid move.

Round 5, Pick 149: TE Nate Boerkircher, Texas A&M

David Njoku isn't returning to the Browns in 2026, which leaves the team a bit thin at tight end behind Harold Fannin Jr. Boerkircher wasn't all that productive as a receiver for the Aggies, but he's a good blocker with a solid 6-5, 245-pound frame. That makes him a nice partner for Fannin, who is undersized but has elite receiving skills for the position.

Round 6, Pick 206: C Parker Brailsford, Alabama

The Browns signed Elgton Jenkins in free agency to be their new starting center. They could still use depth behind the 30-year-old, and Brailsford enters the NFL with three years of starting experience at Washington and Alabama.

Brailsford is on the smaller side at 6-2, 289 pounds, but he's hyper-mobile and plays with a great motor. If he can add some muscle mass to his frame in the NFL, he could eventually emerge as a starter.

Round 7, Pick 248: QB Haynes King, Georgia Tech

Could the Browns select a quarterback earlier? Sure, but they could also eschew the position while keeping an eye on the 2027 NFL Draft class, which will likely feature Arch Manning, Dante Moore and Julian Sayin.

Still, taking a flier on a player like King – a dual-threat quarterback with excellent mobility – with their final selection would be a solid gamble.

Today in Boston Celtics history, Hall of Fame Celtics point guard Bob Cousy was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1971, alongside his longtime rival Bob Pettit of the then-St. Louis Hawks.

Initially drafted out of Holy Cross by the Tri-City Blackhawks in 1950, Cousy declined to play for the team and was subsequently picked up by the Boston Celtics. The New Yorker spent a total of 13 seasons with Boston, nearly the entirety of his NBA career (although he played seven games for the Cincinnati Royals during the 1969-70 season in a brief comeback attempt). During his time with the Celtics, he won eight championships and was selected for 13 NBA All-Star Games.

Among many, many other honors.

Birthdays

It is the birthday of Tracy Jackson, who was born this day in 1959 in Rockville, Maryland. He was picked out of Notre Dame by the Celtics with the 25th selection in the 1981 NBA draft. Despite being taken ahead of current Boston head honcho Danny Ainge (No. 31 overall), Jackson's Boston tenure was short. His contract was sold to the Chicago Bulls for cash considerations in December of his rookie season.

In his time with the Celtics, the Fighting Irish alum put up 2.4 points and 1.1 rebounds per game.

You don’t have to be a Power 4 star to make it in the NFL.

The 2025 All-Pro team featured plenty of small-school standouts who have become the league’s best at their positions. Look no further than tight end Trey McBride out of Colorado State or cornerback Quinyon Mitchell out of Toledo.

Even in the era of NIL, which is powering an exciting transfer portal, prospects can outplay their college’s standing and make it to the NFL as first-round picks. Mitchell was a first-round selection in 2024 and Eagles fans are thrilled to have him.

The top of this year’s draft board is dominated by players from the Power 4 conferences. Stars from the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC will hear their names called early and often come the first round of April’s NFL Draft. After the first 32 picks, that certainly won’t stop. 

But there are prospects from more unheralded places who will hear their names called during the NFL draft, including one potentially in the first round. Here are the top small-school prospects to know in the 2026 NFL Draft:

NFL MOCK DRAFT: Fernando Mendoza leads final 7-round predictions, then what?

2026 NFL Draft: Small-school prospects

CB Chris Johnson, San Diego State

Johnson brings ideal size and speed at a premium position. At 6-foot and 193 pounds, Johnson hit 4.40 seconds in the 40-yard dash and 10 feet, six inches in the broad jump at the NFL combine. He hit 17 bench press repetitions, tied for the most among all cornerbacks, showing his mix of speed and strength.

Johnson stayed with the Aztecs in 2025 and took a step forward in coverage. He allowed just 18 receptions on 43 targets and none of them ended in a touchdown, per Pro Football Focus (PFF). He set a career-best in passer rating allowed when targeted at 16.1 with four interceptions and five pass breakups. In a league looking for shutdown corners on the outside, Johnson has the makings of a small-school gem.

Draft projection: Late Round 1/early Round 2.

S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Toledo

Caleb Downs and Dillon Thieneman are locks for the first round but Toledo’s latest top defensive back prospect won’t be too far behind them. McNeil-Warren combines good size (6-foot-3, 32 ⅛ inch arms) with solid speed (4.52 40-yard dash). 

In run defense, he’s a solid tackler who could use some improvement on his footwork to make sure his hard hits bring opposing ball-carriers down. But that power converted well to turnovers; McNeil-Warren has 11 career forced fumbles, per PFF. He’s a rangy cover man who uses his length to disrupt passes. He notched five pass breakups in 2025 alone and two interceptions. Penalties are not a concern with that length, though, with just one in his college career.

Draft projection: Early Round 2

WR Bryce Lance, North Dakota State

The younger brother of former No. 3 overall pick Trey, the latest Bison star with the surname Lance, was one of the top athletic performers at the NFL combine. He measured in at over 6-foot-3 and 204 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.34 seconds. His broad jump of 11 feet, one inch and his 41½-inch vertical jump were among the best at the position.

His speed isn’t sudden, more long speed that takes some time to gather up. His jumps and overall strength make him a threat in contested catch situations. He can’t be a top one or two targets in a passing game yet, though, because he needs to improve his releases and overall route-running at the next level.

Draft projection: Round 4

WR Ted Hurst, Georgia State

If Hurst played at an SEC school, there’s a chance he’s a top-50 selection. Like Lance, he’s got size at 6-foot-4 and 206 pounds with good long speed (4.42-second 40-yard dash). He’s more agile than Lance but less proven in contested-catch scenarios.

Hurst’s footwork shows up against press coverage to shake defenders off and bodes well for his progression as a route runner. It may take some time but Hurst could grow into a reliable No. 2 wide receiver on the outside for an NFL team.

Draft projection: Round 4

OT Kage Casey, Boise State

This offensive tackle class is top-heavy, as teams will likely use a top-50 pick to secure their favorite prospects in the group. Casey falls out of that range but offers a lot for teams to like.

His three years of starting left tackle experience and frame at 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds is a good place to start. His average athleticism and length may ultimately require a move to the inside, similar to what happened with fellow small-school left tackle Grey Zabel in the 2025 NFL Draft. Casey can deploy his strong hands in the run game well and could contend for a starting role sooner than later.

Draft projection: Late Round 4/early Round 5

DT Kaleb Proctor, Southeastern Louisiana

Proctor is slightly undersized for the position at 6-foot-2 and 291 pounds but came to the NFL Combine and did exactly what an undersized small-school player needs to make noise. He showed off his elite athleticism with a 1.69-second 10-yard split in the 40-yard dash, a 33-inch vertical jump and nine feet, five inches in the broad jump. 

In the position drills, he showed off his bend which should make him a potential plus pass rusher from the interior. His smaller frame may be tough against NFL-sized offensive linemen, specifically in run defense, but he’s tailor-made for stunts and inside games.

Draft projection: Late Round 5/early Round 6

Edge Nadame Tucker, Western Michigan

Tucker is one of the older prospects in the class at his position and is undersized at 6-foot-2 and just 247 pounds. Like Proctor, that smaller frame may show up more against NFL offensive lineman than his college competition.

Still, Tucker has great bend, burst and overall footwork to be a rotational pass rusher for a team looking for smaller bodies off the edge. He could struggle against NFL length but has enough tools to warrant an investment on Day 3.

Draft projection: Round 6

Since becoming the Kansas City Chiefs' general manager in 2017, Brett Veach has made notable first-round selections that have led to Super Bowl titles.

The Chiefs are scheduled to make two selections in the first round of this week's 2026 NFL Draft. The No. 9 and No. 29 overall picks hold plenty of promise with the deep pool of prospects. Past First-round picks from Veach include Trent McDuffie and George Karlaftis in 2022, Felix Anudike-Uzomah in 2023, Xavier Worthy in 2024, and Josh Simmons last year.

After not having a first-round selection in his first few seasons as general manager, Veach made his first first-round selection in the virtual 2020 NFL Draft. Kansas City selected LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire 32nd overall to close out the round. During his rookie season, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with Edwards-Helaire about his adjustment to the league.

"All I can say is, for me, it's been overall pretty smooth. I say the hardest transition was just getting acquainted with just the way the play calling was happening when I first got into camp," said Edwards-Helaire, "I feel like that was the biggest difference in just understanding all the ins and outs of checks and play calls before the plays. That was a big learning (experience) for me. But other than that, you know, once the ball is pretty much flying around and going, it's all back to playing football."

Edwards-Helaire contributed to two Super Bowl titles during his tenure in Kansas City, and his impact extended beyond the numbers, as he helped unite the locker room through adversity.

Kansas City this year will have two chances in the first round to add an impactful player who can star on and off the field within the team culture.

Game one of the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic playoff series didn’t go how many expected. Despite being the number one seed in the Eastern Conference, Detroit was taken down by Orlando.

With this being a bit of a shock, it’s raised the question of whether the Pistons are in trouble. Below, we’ll break down game one and answer the question. Can the Detroit Pistons get back into this series?

Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic Game 1 Recap

Game two of the Pistons vs Magic series takes place on April 22nd, but let’s recap game one. The eight seed Magic were able to take down the Pistons, 112-101.

Now, what really makes this interesting is that it’s not as if Cade Cunningham had an off game. Cunningham played great, scoring 39 points while shooting 13 for 27 from the field. Unfortunately, it just wasn't enough.

Jalen Duren is going to be a key player in this series, and he didn’t provide the scoring production Detroit needed. Despite making a significant leap from 11.8 PPG in 2024-25 to 19.5 in 2025-26, Duren only had eight points in game one.

It’s not as if Duren was missing opportunities, as he went three for four. Duren simply needs to get more shots in order help out Cunningham.

Outside of Tobias Harris, who went five for 15 from the field to put up 17 points, not a single other Pistons player had over 10 points. In the playoffs, it’s tough to win a game like that.

On the other hand, the Magic simply played well across the board. They were pretty much the opposite of Detroit, with every one of their starters scoring at least 16 points.

Paolo Banchero led the way with 23 points, as the Magic showed they can win without someone scoring 35 plus points.

Going back to Banchero, he had a very good game, which is exactly what the Magic needed. It would be unfair to call this a bad year, but after scoring 25.9 PPG in the 2024-25 season, many expected Banchero to take that leap to becoming a superstar in 2025-2026.

Despite going from 7.5 to 8.4 REB and 4.8 to 5.2 AST, Banchero saw his PPG mark dip from 25.9 to 22.2. The all-star award doesn’t mean everything, but Banchero still has yet to accomplish that feat again.

As a power forward, Banchero isn’t going to be taking a ton of three-point shots each game, but in the modern NBA, being able to shoot regardless of your size matters. Banchero went from 1.9 3P in 2024-25, down to 1.2 this past year.

Seeing Banchero go two for four from three in game one of the playoffs was a great sign for the Magic.

What’s Next for the Detroit Pistons?

After going through game one, there are a few key takeaways. If the Pistons want to win this series, they need to help out Cunningham offensively. While that’s true for this entire roster, the player that it applies to the most is Duren.

One of the main reasons that Detroit was able to make that massive leap this past year was the improved play of Duren on offense. If they want to keep finding success, Duren and Cunningham need to play like a top duo in the NBA.

To answer the final question, the Pistons can absolutely get back into this series. It wouldn’t make a ton of sense to completely overreact to just one game when the regular season provides a much bigger sample size.

That regular season sample size shows that Duren should have a bounce back game, and the Pistons are still the better team. It’s fair to be concerned to some extent, but the Detroit Pistons can absolutely get back into this playoff series.

Football:

CBSSports put together some bold ACC predictions and one of them has Duce Robinson leading the FBS in receiving.

After finishing eighth nationally with 1,081 receiving yards in 2025, Duce Robinson chose to return to Florida State instead of entering the 2026 NFL Draft. Now, he enters 2026 as one of the most productive receivers in the country. The volume is already there. Robinson accounted for 29.8% of Florida State’s targets last season, a top-15 mark nationally, and he paired that with elite efficiency, finishing 10th in yards per target. In other words, he was maximizing opportunities. If that usage holds — or even ticks up slightly — the path is there to lead the FBS in receiving yards.

This year’s offense is projected to be more varied throwing the ball and whoever wins the QB battle this fall will have big Duce to rely on.

Pro Noles:

It’s NFL Draft week so things could be changing for both future and current Pro Noles.

Darrell Jackson Jr is projected to go anywhere from high third-round to the fifth round meanwhile Keon Coleman could be the subject of a draft night trade that seems him out of Buffalo.

Arsenal are hoping to have Bukayo Saka back in action within the next week, according to a report, with games against Newcastle United and Atletico Madrid coming up.

Miguel Delaney reports for the Independent that Arsenal are hopeful that Bukayo Saka will return from injury over the next week.

That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re expecting him to return against Newcastle United, with that game now just four days away. But it seemingly puts him in contention for the Atletico Madrid fixture the following Wednesday.

Arsenal travel to Madrid next week for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie, and it would certainly be a boost to have Saka available for that game.

Saka played and captained Arsenal in the League Phase win over Atletico in October, putting in an excellent performance in the 4-0 victory. If he can help the team to another result in Madrid, a first Champions League final could be on the cards for him.

In the meantime, Arsenal’s full attentions will be on the Newcastle United game, knowing that they almost certainly need to win every remaining Premier League game to keep the title race in their hands.

Even five wins from five may not be enough, if City win six from six and maintain a better goal difference. But all the Gunners can do now is keep winning matches.

Riccardo Calafiori andJurrien Timber are both seemingly close to comebacks, but like Saka, they’ll be doubts for the Newcastle game. Mikel Merino isn’t expected back yet either, but everyone else should be fit after a rare midweek of rest.

Coventry City and Portsmouth go head-to-head at The Coventry Building Society Arena this Tuesday in the EFL Championship. The match will be broadcast live at 19:45 on Sky Sports Main Event.

Coventry City have won 86 points to date and are placed in 1st position. In their last game, Frank Lampard's team drew 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers (Championship 2025/26).

Portsmouth have picked up 51 points and currently lie in 18th position. In their last fixture, John Mousinho's team won 1-0 against Leicester City (Championship 2025/26).

The last meeting between the two teams ended with Coventry City winning 2-1.

For all of Bayern Munich’s dominance domestically, the path to the Ballon d’Or almost always runs through bigger stages and brighter lights. For Harry Kane, the equation is fairly simple in theory, but incredibly difficult in practice — combine overwhelming individual production with undeniable team success, especially in Europe.

First, the numbers must be absurd (and they are — Kane has 51 goals and six assists in 46 games across all competitions this season). Kane is already one of the most complete forwards in world football, but Ballon d’Or campaigns demand statistical separation. It is not just about scoring, though, it is about being the central force in everything Bayern Munich does in attack. Voters tend to reward players who feel inevitable, and Kane needs to continue to show that for the rest of the season, game in and game out.

Second, silverware is non-negotiable. Winning the Bundesliga probably does not move the needle much on its own. The real swing factor is the UEFA Champions League. If Kane leads Bayern Munich to a Champions League title — especially with decisive performances in the knockout rounds, his case strengthens dramatically. Iconic moments matter — late winners, dominant displays against elite clubs, and a visible imprint on the biggest matches.

Third, international impact could be a differentiator. If Kane delivers standout performances for England national team in the World Cup, it adds narrative weight. The Ballon d’Or is not just about data; it is about storylines, and international success often resonates with voters.

Finally, Kane must outshine the competition. Players like Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and others will also put up huge numbers. To separate himself, Kane needs signature performances in the biggest games — the kind that linger in voters’ minds when ballots are cast.

In short, if Harry Kane wants the Ballon d’Or, he must pair elite consistency with unforgettable moments on football’s grandest stages.

So what do you say— what does Kane need to do to win the Ballon d’Or? A double? A treble? A World Cup? All of the above?

Dan Patrick says Joe Burrow forced Bengals’ hand with Dexter Lawrence
“I was told Joe Burrow is the one calling the shots in Cincinnati,” Patrick said. “…From what I’m told, Joe Burrow said to management, ‘you gotta do something defensively or I’m out of here.’ I was told this morning by a source, who said that Joe has given them an ultimatum.”

Quick Hits | Bengals Enjoying Aftershocks Of Dexquake: ‘We Have A Very Serious Team … That Was An Ol’ Jolt’
The Joe Burrows, Ja’Marr Chases and Tee Higgins of the world don’t figure to show until closer to the voluntary field work in mid-May. But there were enough Bengals around to give the organization a thumbs-up for the defensive overhaul that not only netted the three-time Pro Bowler Lawrence, but other starters and regulars such as another D-Tackle with Pro Bowl skins, Jonathan Allen, as well as the best free-agent safety on the market Bryan Cook and Super Bowl pass rusher Boye Mafe.

Bengals’ Dexter Lawrence trade even has rival GMs praising Cincy
“The Bengals, as they discussed the deal, looked at what they’d get with the 10th pick, likely someone like Ohio State S Caleb Downs or LSU CB Mansoor Delane if they were fortunate enough to have one of those two fall to them. And they determined what the likelihood was they’d be picking someone that they had a mid-to-late first-round grade on at No. 10, based on the makeup of the draft class. It’s a sentiment I’ve heard from other teams, too, in the aftermath of the deal. “There’s nobody of his talent in this year’s draft,” said one rival GM. “I would take him over every defensive player in this draft.” Which, ultimately, explains why, by the end of that week, they’d wind up offering that pick clean to the Giants for Lawrence.”

Andrew Whitworth slams Trey Hendrickson on ‘Pat McAfee Show’
“Here’s the reality to Trey Hendrickson,” Whitworth told McAfee. “He’s a helluva player. But here’s the truth. He is ranked at the top of the group when it comes to sacks and pressures of the quarterback, no doubt. But let’s go look where he’s ranked in the run game in all those years as well. And it ain’t up at the top.”

Cincinnati trading the No. 10 pick for nose tackle Dexter Lawrence is the kind of move a reasonable person would’ve never expected, but it is now the reality in which 31 other teams must work around. The New York Giants are slated to pick twice in the first 10 selections, and the Bengals will first be on the clock with their second-round pick.

The Yankees are in Boston today, as they’ll take on their archrivals for the first time in 2026. It’s just the second time the Yankees have faced a divisional foe this season, their three-game set at the Trop against the Rays this month the only AL East matchup on a slate that’s otherwise been populated by teams like the Royals, Mariners, and Athletics.

It wasn’t so long ago that these divisional meetings were more frequent. In 2023, MLB smoothed out their schedule, reducing the number of games divisional rivals played against each other from 19 to 13. Gone were the long summers of seemingly playing only AL East foes, those drawn-out battles fomenting familiarity and resentment in equal amounts.

The schedule MLB has gone to has plenty of logic to it. It’s more balanced, and it allows every team to play every other team at least once, giving fans a regular chance to see all the other teams and stars the league has to offer. Yet the question still begs to be asked: do you miss the days of playing nearly half the schedule against division rivals?

Again, there’s a lot of logic to the new schedule, if only from the perspective of competitive balance. Teams in perennially strong divisions get the short end of the stick with unbalanced schedules, forced to beat up on each other all year while some team in the AL Central strolls to 87 wins and a division title. And there’s real benefit to the emergence of interleague play, setting up great annual matchups that we previously would have had to wait years to see. From a Yankees perspective, it’s been pretty cool to see them clash yearly with teams like the Dodgers, the Phillies, and the Brewers, top NL teams that they wouldn’t always have had the chance to face barring a World Series appearance.

But I’m sure some fans are nostalgic for the old days, where you really got to know your divisional rivals over the course of a season. At the cost of some spare interleague series against the Pirates and Marlins and the Diamondbacks, the Yankees would become deeply acquainted with the Red Sox, and the Blue Jays, Orioles, and Rays. There was something quaint to it, coming to revile these foes that we saw so often, but also finding some comfort in the familiarity, in the steady drumbeat that such consistent divisional matchups provided.

How do you feel? Do you miss the old days of playing the Sox and Jays over and over again? Or are you glad to see a schedule with more logic to it?

The Philadelphia Phillies have struggled after opening the season with largely the same roster that won just a single playoff game last year.

But one of the significant changes to the personnel group was the addition of platoon outfielder Otto Kemp to the Opening Day roster with a chance to seize a big-league role for the entire season. As the team fell short of expectations in the first tenth of the season, though, Kemp was moved down to the minor leagues and the Phillies called up Felix Reyes as his replacement.

Then, in Reyes’ first major-league at-bat on Saturday, he hit a home run off of nine-time All-Star Chris Sale and it seemed like the team might have found a new sparkplug for their batting order.

“Before the game, (manager Rob) Thomson said he hoped Reyes might provide “a little bit of a shot of energy” to a struggling offense,” Todd Zolecki wrote for MLB.com. “Reyes had replaced Otto Kemp, whom the Phils spent the entire offseason touting as their right-handed bat in a left-field platoon with Brandon Marsh… Reyes got an ovation as he returned to the Phillies’ dugout. Fans cheered him as he ran to left field in the third.”

Philadelphia Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber Could Move To Make Room For New Slugger Felix Reyes

Though Reyes wasn’t in the lineup on Sunday or Monday, the Phillies will be looking to work him back in as Kemp’s replacement in left field against left-handed pitchers, or possibly at first base or in the designated hitter spot, which would mean a move for veteran slugger Kyle Schwarber.

“It’ll be all right,” Schwarber said of returning to left field to free up the designated hitter spot, per The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Scott Lauber. “Just try to go out there and get to the balls I can get to and try to catch them. It’s not like anyone’s expecting me, (Reyes), whoever to try to make the spectacular diving catch, right? You’re going out there trying to make the plays you need to make and get the ball to where it needs to be.”

Philadelphia Phillies Slugger Kyle Schwarber Provides Injury Update Ahead Of Outfield Move

Schwarber has only started in left field sparingly over the last two seasons, generally occupying the designated hitter spot for the Phillies. In 2023, when Harper was recovering from an elbow surgery, Schwarber ranked as one of the worst outfielders in baseball.

But as he raised the possibility of moving back to the outfield, Schwarber sent a message about the knee injury that hampered him during that 2023 campaign.

“That’s pretty much all said and done now,” Schwarber said of that knee injury, per Lauber. “I feel like I would be moving around better than how I used to be moving around out there.”

Though the Phillies look like they could use a jolt on offense, they would likely need to see a better version of Schwaber in the outfield to consider moving him there for any extended period.

The 2026 NFL Draft is just around the corner, and predictions are flying in fast from everyone who cares about the NFL.

While it feels like the Steelers’ draft plans are more ambiguous than in recent years, followers of the team know to play close attention to the team’s allotted pre-draft visits to get an idea of what to expect.

What do you make of the Steelers’ pre-draft visits this year?

But first, how much do they matter? While national analysts repeatedly warn that “top-30” visits are just one prospect evaluation tool of many (true) and often a way teams scout prospects they have the most questions about (also true), Pittsburgh tends to use them as way to meet the players the team is most interested in.

In the three drafts under general manager Omar Khan, nine of the Steelers’ 10 Day 1-2 picks have been brought in for pre-draft visits. The lone exception is Michigan wide receiver Roman Wilson, who was still widely linked to the team ahead of being picked.

In 2025, three of the team’s seven draft picks were pre-draft visitors. In 2024, it was five of seven. You get the idea.

So what about the pre-draft visits in 2026? In total, there are 33 when counting local visits. From there, here’s the breakdown by position:

• Quarterback: 4
• Wide receiver: 6
• Tight end: 3
• Offensive line: 6
• Defensive line: 2
• Off-ball linebacker: 5
• Defensive back: 7

I combined offensive line positions and defensive back positions as there’s quite a bit of overlap between offensive tackles/guards and corners/nickelbacks/safeties. You can view the exact players using BTSC’s visit tracker here.

Ultimately, a there’s a clear top four in defensive back, offensive line, wide receiver, and off-ball linebacker. The first three are generally regarded as positions of need for Pittsburgh. However, the team’s linebacker room looks full from the outside.

The team’s interest there shouldn’t be ignored, but it is worth noting that in 2025, the team hosted four wide receivers and didn’t draft any at that position. And in 2024, the team brought in a whopping seven cornerbacks but didn’t draft any of them. They did end up selecting a defensive back in Ryan Watts, who wasn’t among the visitors (and Pittsburgh did eventually sign visitor Beanie Bishop Jr., but as an undrafted free agent).

That’s to say, top-30 trends matter quite a bit for the Steelers, but don’t base all of your predictions off of them. Still, expect some names from the list linked above to be donning the black and gold by the end of the weekend.

Names aside, another interesting way to study the team’s visit list is to see where the players are projected to be drafted. All the quarterback visits have been mid-round talents. The offensive linemen are high- to mid-round picks, while the wide receivers and defensive backs include projected Round 1 picks, Round 7 picks, and everywhere in between — again, hinting these are the positions the Steelers are prioritizing the most.

The linebacker class has a potential high draft pick in Jacob Rodriguez, but leans more towards the mid- to late-rounds. Tight end contains Day 3 players, while of the two defensive linemen, one is considered an early Day 3 pick while the other should go mid-Day 3.

That data may not directly correlate to the Steelers’ picks in 2026, but they likely provide insight in terms of what round the team is prioritizing each position. But of course, under new head coach Mike McCarthy, some new draft trends could be on the way for the black and gold.

CLEVELAND — Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajaković was perplexed about Brandon Ingram’s lack of free throws after his team dropped Game 2 to the Cleveland Cavaliers115-105. In the process of that complaint, he admitted something that maybe no other coach has about this era of Cavs basketball.

“Cleveland is playing with a lot of physicality,” Rajaković said. “They’re very prideful of their physicality, and their whole team was very, very physical with Brandon.”

These comments were mostly directed at how the Cavs defended Ingram, but it also speaks to how this Cavaliers team has evolved on both ends of the floor.

Donovan Mitchell had one more thing to say to the media after his postgame press conference ended in the wake of his 30-point performance.

“As much as y’all talk about us three: me, him (James Harden), and Ev (Evan Mobley)… Dean Wade deserves a ton of credit for tonight,” Mitchell said. “I know he only had three points, but his impact is extremely high outside of just scoring. Y’all need to give him his credit. He’s playing at a high level right now for us.”

Playoff basketball often comes down to whether you can take away one of the things your opponent does best. The Cavs have made a concerted effort to make Ingram work — Toronto’s leading scorer — to impact the series with his jump shot. They’ve been physical with him at the point of attack, forcing him to work to get to his patented midrange jumper.

And the one making it difficult for Ingram was Wade, due to his strength advantage.

It’s hard to contest a tough shotmaker like Ingram. At 6’8”, he can usually rise above his defender in the midrange for a clean look. And even if the defender does get a contest, he’s skilled enough to make them anyway.

The best defense for someone like that doesn’t necessarily come from contesting the shot, but by making it challenging for him to get to his spots. This is what Wade did.

Wade was physical and aggressive in denying Ingram the ball wherever he was on the court. The play below is an example of that.

The Raptors had to run a screen for Ingram just to get him the ball. Even though Ingram gets a good look after the screen, the physicality from the denial, combined with the impending threat of Wade trailing the play without fouling, contributes to the missed shot.

Wade’s ability to stay connected with his combination of strength and footspeed means he doesn’t have to sell out to put a good contest on a shot, including one as difficult to do so on as a high-post fadeaway.

Even though Wade deserves a majority of the credit, he wasn’t the only one who was physical with Ingram. Both Harden and Sam Merrill also had instances of forcefully pushing Ingram off his spots when they were switched onto him. It was truly a team effort.

Ingram vowed after Game 1 that he needed to take more than just nine shots. He did so here, but wasn’t efficient, going 3-15 for just seven points.

Cleveland’s physicality on offense showed up in two main ways. First, the Cavs’ star guards weren’t able to be taken out of the game.

Both Harden and Mitchell did a good job of dealing with Toronto’s ball pressure and the extra contact the referees were allowing. They were still able to get to their spots and keep the offense on track. This has been an issue in the past, as Cleveland’s previously undersized guards were susceptible to double teams and pressure in the backcourt.

Second, Mobley punished mismatches. The Raptors played much smaller this game, opting to switch screens as much as possible. Mobley made them pay for doing so as he forcefully attacked his smaller defender whenever getting an opportunity to do so, even off of offensive rebounds. This led to a 25-point outing on 11-13 shooting.

That aggression was much needed on a night the Raptors decided to shift their strategy and play small. Toronto started 6’7” forward Collin Murray-Boyles at center in place of their usual big Jakob Poeltl, to open the second half. Afterward, Rajaković said he wanted to do this so that they could easily switch the pick-and-roll and shut that down.

To Toronto’s credit, the switch shut down the pick-and-roll. The issue is that it made them susceptible to drives to the basket.

The lack of rim protection more or less left every individual defender on an island. The defenders guarding Cleveland’s bigs weren’t in a position to really help off, given the size disadvantage they already had. This resulted in more lanes for Mitchell and Harden to get to the basket. They took full advantage of that as they combined for 58 points.

Jarrett Allen wasn’t able to make the most of Toronto playing small. They were able to hide RJ Barrett on him for long stretches without Allen becoming much of a factor as a scorer or as an offensive rebounder. This led to head coach Kenny Atkinson choosing to leave him out of the closing lineup.

The bench was an issue for the Cavs.

They only provided 19 points, with none of the five reserves tallying more than six. This gave way to the Raptors’ reserves outscoring Cleveland’s by 26.

Max Strus and Merrill seem locked into the rotation. The same might not be said for the other three bench players who received minutes.

Dennis Schroder once again couldn’t find his shot, as he went 1-5 from the field with five points.

There are concerns about Keon Ellis’s defensive impact on this team. He’s likely best used guarding ones and twos, but he won’t often have the luxury to do so given Cleveland’s backcourt. This leaves him defending some of Toronto’s bigger and stronger wings. He’s struggled in that setting, which makes it difficult for him to get minutes when he isn’t providing much offensively.

Jaylon Tyson had some good moments as he seemed to calm down after a difficult playoff debut on Saturday. He handled Toronto’s bigger wings well defensively, but hasn’t found a rhythm yet on the other end.

The Cavs’ offense will go as their core four takes it. That said, the others need to provide much more on that end than they are. The current scoring balance isn’t sustainable over what could be a long postseason run.

The chemistry between Mitchell and Harden looks like it’s been forged over multiple playoff runs. It hasn’t. This was the duo’s 24th game together. That speaks to how well their games fit and how much they’ve invested in making this work.

Harden admitted that because they haven’t had much time together, they needed to find other ways to get on the same page. “I think what speeds that process up is communication and talking,” Harden said.

That includes pointing out when you see something the other could’ve done better, as was the case on at least one occasion on Monday.

“We always communicate what we see,” Mitchell said. “He was telling me what he saw, even though I scored on that possession…there was an easier read that I didn’t see.”

The Cavs made a daring and aggressive move when they traded for Harden as late as they did in the year. Adding someone that important into the mix when they did doesn’t have much of a precedent for resulting in a title or overall playoff success. That just isn’t how basketball is typically played.

But if it ever were to work, it’d be in a setting like this. One that is open to listening to and implementing feedback. Right now, it seems like the Cavs’ top two stars are trying to approach this the right way.

“We’re behind,” Harden said. “I don’t even know how many games we’ve had together, so I think our communication during games, practice days is very, very important. That can get us over the hump. So anytime I gotta say something, or Don say something, we communicate it. We let it be known to the team just so we can all be on the same page.”

Kentucky Basketball’s pursuit of a frontcourt centerpiece took a major hit this week, and the fallout is drawing sharp criticism from the fanbase and national media.

After Sebastian Rancik committed to Florida State on Sunday and Donnie Freeman followed by choosing St. John’s on Monday, Kentucky was left empty-handed despite being heavily involved with both players.

And according to Matt Jones, Kentucky passed on Rancick because they were “sure” they had Freeman locked up.

“Kentucky essentially passed on Rancik because they were sure they were getting Freeman. They got neither,” Jones not holding back in his reaction on social media. “Mismanagement by a staff that insisted they didn’t need a GM. Fairly impossible to defend.”

Freeman, a 6-foot-9 forward from Syracuse, averaged 16.5 points and 7.2 rebounds, while Rancik, a 6-foot-11 Colorado transfer, brought versatility with 12.3 points and outside shooting ability.

Both players filled a clear need at the power forward spot for head coach Mark Pope, who is rebuilding the roster through the transfer portal. Kentucky has already added guards Zoom Diallo and Alex Wilkins, but the lack of a proven frontcourt addition now looms large.

Now, Kentucky must quickly turn its attention to a new group of potential targets. Among the top options are Milan Momcilovic and Allen Graves, both of whom are currently testing the NBA Draft waters while maintaining college eligibility. Their decisions could significantly impact Kentucky’s recruiting outlook in the coming weeks, though both are currently expected to remain in the NBA Draft.

Other portal options include Paulius Murauskas, Alvaro Folgueiras, Isaac Celiscar, and Justin McBride. Each brings a different skill set, from scoring and rebounding to floor spacing and versatility, as Kentucky looks to fill a critical need at the power forward position.

However, Murauskas is strongly favored to follow Randy Bennett to Arizona State, while Louisville is expected to get Folgueiras.

With the transfer portal still active and roster spots to fill, Kentucky’s next move is crucial as it tries to avoid another swing-and-miss stretch in a pivotal offseason.

Good morning, Broncos Country!

It is NFL Draft Week and that means we are on the brink of officially kicking off a new season.

After three months reminiscing (or trying to forget) just how close the Broncos were in their Super Bowl run in 2025, we can now truly focus on getting back there in 2026.

But when the famous NFL Draft chime sounds on Thursday night for teams to get their picks in, there will not be one for the Broncos.

If Denver doesn’t trade up or out of their first pick, the new player will come late in the second round at No. 62. 

But George Paton and Sean Payton are still expecting impact players.

“We’re always going to take the best player available within reason,” Paton said. “If there are a couple of defensive backs there and there are other players maybe that are a bigger need, we would go that way. You always want to build on a strength. I think we’ve done that since we’ve arrived, and it’s worked.”

In recent drafts, the Broncos have mostly hit on their second-round picks including RJ Harvey, Marvin Mims, Nik Bonitto and Courtland Sutton who were all taken around that 60-something selection.

“Expectations are high. We think there are good players in this draft. …We think there are good players where we’re picking at 62. We have two picks up in the top of the fourth [round], and we feel good [about] what’s going to be there. We like it.” 

George paton

But wherever the Broncos pick a player, the expectation is the same for each.

“They’re high. We think there are good players in this draft,” Paton said, adding that they have a number top players targeted for 62 as well as the two fourth-round picks. “We think there are good players where we’re picking at 62. We have two picks up in the top of the fourth [round], and we feel good [about] what’s going to be there. We like it.” 

Paton, who loves to move down and get more picks, noted he has flexibility to do just that.

“We don’t mind it, and we know we still have flexibility with the seven picks to move up or move back and get more picks,” he said. “We have experience with this. We’ve gotten good players with lesser picks, so we feel good.”

Denver is mostly drafting for depth, which is a good place to be when you have fewer picks.

There’s no telling what position the Broncos will go for at 62 but Paton indicated that it’s not necessarily a player they expect to be a starter on Day 1.

“We typically like to draft high-trait players,” the GM said, adding that they aren’t afraid of a player needing development. “Maybe they lack a little bit of polish, and it’s going to take some development. We’ve done a great job with the coaches in developing these types of players.”

Paton noted that there is some luxury in being able to draft players who don’t necessarily need to fill a starting role. The time to develop can make them much better when their number is called.

“It starts with just being a good football player. We are always trying to get our best players on the field. Does that impact how we draft, or is it vice versa? That would be the six-million-dollar question. I think it’s a little bit of both.”

sean Payton

But sometimes a new player has to step up, Paton said, highlighting their experience with Quinn Meinertz.

“He started his first year, maybe wasn’t quite ready. Sure we’d like somebody to come in and start right away, but that’s not always realistic for first-, second- [round picks], no matter where they’re picked,” Paton said. “It’s just hard. With the way our team is built now, it’s going to be hard to come in and start Day 1.”

One thing we know for sure is that Sean Payton likes smart players. Players with a high football IQ who can handle his system and maintain his culture. If I had to bet on it, I’d say Payton would choose those qualities over elite skill every time.

Just look at his franchise QB.

“It starts with just being a good football player,” Payton said. “We are always trying to get our best players on the field. Does that impact how we draft or is it vice versa? That would be the six-million-dollar question. I think it’s a little bit of both.”

Atletico Madrid star Alexander Sorloth appears to be in demand ahead of the summer transfer window, with AC Milan being credited with interest in the striker.

Barcelona have been linked with a move for Alexander Sorloth as an alternative to Julian Alvarez and are believed to have made an approach already.

Sorloth and Vedat Muriqi have emerged as possible low-cost options for the Catalan giants, with financial contraints still a real issue at Camp Nou.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan are also keen on Sorloth after losing interest in Robert Lewandowski. The Rossoneri has been interested in the Pole but have been put off by his salary demands.

Sorloth is expected to cost around 40 million euros this summer and has impressed for Atletico this season, scoring 17 goals in all competitions for Diego Simeone’s men.

The striker also netted five goals in eight matches in World Cup qualifying as Norway booked their spot at the finals for the first time in 27 years.

Monday night was a chance for the Pittsburgh Penguins to make things right after a lackluster showing in Game 1 and tie up this first round series before heading to the road for Games 3 and 4. That was not at all how Game 2 went for the Penguins as they turned in another letdown performance in a 3-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers and will now head east trailing 2-0 in the series. It was another scoreless first period between the two sides before the Flyers notched a pair of second period goals to take complete control of the game. Dan Vladar was at his very best and turned away all 27 shots the Penguins threw his way to register his first career playoff shutout. [Pensburgh]

Now the series shifts to Philadelphia with Game 3 scheduled for Wednesday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Pens Points…

Justin Brazeau was a surprising healthy scratch for Game 1 of the playoff series against the Flyers and found himself in the same position last night for Game 2. Though this is not the situation he drew up in his mind, if he’s called on at any point, Brazeau knows he will be ready to contribute. [Trib Live]

In case anyone forgot since it hasn’t been a hot topic in a while, the Penguins are in the midst of being sold. That sale between Fenway Sports Group and the Hoffman Family is still in the works but nothing has been finalized and the final vote by the NHL has not been set according to Gary Bettman. [Trib Live]

NHL News and Notes…

One of the biggest questions to be answered across the NHL this offseason will be about the future of Alex Ovechkin. Many think this season was his last in the NHL, but the Washington Capitals are in no rush for an answer for their captain and are giving him all the time he needs to make a decision. [NHL]

The 2026 NFL Draft is less than 10 days away as the New England Patriots continue the process of finishing their board. Things will look quite different for the team this draft picking 31st overall after back-to-back years selecting in the top-five. While Eliot Wolf noted the secondary is not a strength of the class, New England may still be in the market for safety depth.

So, with that said, let’s take a look at some of the prospects that might make sense for the Patriots at the position.

Patriots’ current safety situation

A fourth-round pick last year, Craig Woodson went on to lead the Patriots in defensive snaps. His play only improved as the year went on which concluded with an extremely impressive showing in Super Bowl LX.

New England signed veteran Kevin Byard to play alongside Woodson in the secondary — a role that was held last year by Jaylinn Hawkins, who soon after departed in free agency. Entering his age 33 season, Byard is still playing at a high level after leading the league with seven interceptions last season en route to being named a first-team All Pro. 

Dell Pettus returns as the group’s top depth option in addition to free agent addition Mike Brown. The depth chart is then rounded out by John Saunders Jr. and Brenden Schooler.

Patriots NFL Draft fits at safety

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (Toledo): Potentially the best player available when the Patriots are on the clock in the first-round, McNeil-Warren’s versatility would make him a fun pair with Byard and Woodson. He showcased solid range at Toledo but has the physicality and ball skills — including a dominant peanut punch — to thrive near the line of scrimmage. He’ll be a do-it all chess piece any defensive coordinator would like on their side. New England hosted EMW on a pre-draft visit. | Consensus ranking: 23

Bud Clark (TCU): Clark can do everything the Patriots ask in their safeties, from covering the deep area of the field to matching receivers and coming downhill in run support. He also proved to have a nose for the football with 15 career interceptions. | Consensus ranking: 89

Zakee Wheatley (Penn State): A tall safety who has plenty of range overtop, Wheatley also isn’t shy of lowering his shoulder into ball carries. He is best suited over top of the defense and did see his ball production dip last season, but Wheatley is reliable free safety who did not commit a penalty throughout his entire collegiate career. Wheatley visited the Patriots. | Consensus ranking: 94

Genesis Smith (Arizona): A 21-year old early declare, Smith is a natural center fielder with his athletic ability to easily cover ground. While he forced five fumbles the last two years, he is not a physical player and must become a better tackler, however, after ending his Wildcat career with a 20.1% missed tackle rate (39 total). | Consensus ranking: 108

VJ Payne (Kansas State): Payne offers incredible size and length at the safety position with a wingspan close to 81 inches. That allows him to matchup against tight ends in the passing game while his 4.4 speed also sees him make rangy cover plays. His versatility will continue to be tapped into but he can improve as a tackler and use his length better at times. | Consensus ranking: 121

Jalen Huskey (Maryland): A big-time playmaker with 11 interceptions over his three seasons as a starter, Huskey can also come down hill in coverage and as a run defender. He is a bit undersized and features an average athletic profile, but has versatility across the secondary. New England held a private meeting with him. | Consensus ranking: 198

Elsewhere, Dillion Thieneman (Oregon) is largely expected to be gone before New England’s first selection but would be a seamless fit in the secondary and likely best player available on the board. Other options include: A.J. Haulcy (LSU), Jalon Kilgore (South Carolina), Jakobe Thomas (Miami), Robert Spears-Jennings (Oklahoma), and Malik Spencer (Michigan State).

Welcome to the Morning Commute

Today we’re talking about Mizzou Hoops

Mizzou Basketball’s transfer portal haul started off with the additions of Jaylen Carey, Jamier Jones, and Bryson Tiller. It’s a good start for Dennis Gates and the staff as they have landed multiple Top-50 ranked players in the portal.

Though with the departure of Jevon Porter — there’s more work to be done with three open roster spots available — and guard play is a question mark.

Sure, five-star Jason Crowe Jr. is coming in, but guard depth is always a necessity. Per reports, Mizzou is looking to address the guard position within the SEC.

LSU’s Jalen Reece is expected to visit Mizzou this week along with Texas A&M and Ohio State.

Reece plans to visit Texas A&M, Ohio State, and Missouri this week, per source.

Reece is a former four-star, Top-100 recruit and ended his freshman season at LSU scoring in double figures in seven out of the last eight games.

Meanwhile, Texas A&M transfer Josh Holloway is expected to visit Mizzou today — with West Virginia, Memphis, and USC also in the mix.

VISIT NEWS: Texas A&M transfer Josh Holloway is visiting Missouri tomorrow, source told @LeagueRDY

Holloway also plans to visit West Virginia this week while Memphis and USC are two other schools in the mix. Averaged 4.6PPG, 1.8APG, and 1.7RPG this season. https://t.co/LCQGJar5dspic.twitter.com/UvMXCCTINc

— Sam Kayser (@KayserHoops) April 20, 2026

Holloway’s production was limited in his junior season at Texas A&M, but he is coming off a strong performance in the Aggies’ 2nd round NCAA Tournament loss to Houston with 12 points, four rebounds, and three assists.

Per 247Sports, Missouri’s 2026 class ranks 6th overall — but they’re not done yet. Stay tuned to RockM+ for more of our coverage on hoops.

• Morning Commute from Josh Matejka: It’s NFL Draft week!

But if the main goal of college players is to get themselves to the league, few teams in college football can boast a better record of doing that than the Tigers. Another half a dozen players hearing their names called this weekend would be another feather for Eli Drinkwitz’s cap.

This is pretty much the only reason why I pay attention to the NFL Draft.

We also, of course, will also be keeping a close eye on the future, as a trio of baby Tigers in the nation’s no. 6 recruiting class earned regional titles at meets around the country last weekend, including Raegan McCarty, who won a floor title in her Region 5 meet with a 9.775, Dakota (Coco) Haynes, who won a Region 6 bars title with a 9.750, and Imani White, who won a Region 8 beam title with an astonishing 9.90 (watch the routine at the link).

Imani also earned a 9.875 on vault with her Yurchenko 1.5 (which looks an awful lot like a 10 in NCAA), a 9.825 on bars and a 38.925 in the all-around. Raegan earned a 9.675 on vault.

The future remains bright for the Mizzou Gymnastics program as Shannon Welker is bringing in a star-studded recruiting class.

Young is the type of player teams love to have. He’s a proven producer, a natural born leader and has the technical nuances in his game that you sometimes can’t teach the freakier athletes who win at the college level because of their talent. Young will more than likely go early in Day Two, but don’t be surprised if a run on pass-rushers makes a team afraid to miss and move into the first round to pick him.

Giants star is an early fan of John Harbaugh: ‘He’s not a dictator’ | NJ.com

“The main thing I noticed is that he and a lot of coaches are very clear on the identity of the team and what they’re trying to create,” linebacker Brian Burns told NJ.com. “They paint that picture very vividly so there is no gray area. It’s very black and white as to what they expect and what they want, which is how I like it. There’s no need for gray area because that just causes confusion.”

“He’s not really on that dictator-type, saying this is how it’s going to happen,” Burns said. “He’s pretty open-minded and he’s open to new methods. That’s all you can ask for in a head coach, just for him to hear you out. I’m glad he has that character and I’m glad that’s the type of person he is because that could take this team far in my eyes.”

Bengals’ pick gives Giants ammunition to move up | Pro Football Talk

But there’s one sound reason for having the tenth overall pick in hand as draft week begins. The Giants now have the ammunition to package the 10th and fifth picks together in an effort to move higher in round one. Obviously, they won’t be trying to go all the way to No. 1, since the Giants have their quarterback. No. 2 becomes a possibility, as does No. 3.

That’s not to say any deal would be as simple as, for instance, No. 5 and No. 10 for No. 2 or No. 3. The Giants likely would get more in return than an increase by two or three spots. Still, having the ability to give a team two top-10 picks in return for one becomes a valuable enticement. Either way, everyone knows the Giants now have two picks in the top 10. It’s possible that those picks could become the starting point for inching higher in the draft order.

NY Giants mock draft with two Top 10 picks after Dexter Lawrence trade | The Record

The time is now for the New York Giants, and the future is a whole lot clearer in some respects after the entire NFL was awakened just five days before the 2026 NFL Draft with the trade of Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, April 18.

While Lawrence is on to Cincinnati – hat tip Bill Belichick, of course – the Giants have two Top 10 picks for the second time in the last five years, providing John Harbaugh, Joe Schoen and Co. an opportunity to reshape this roster from the top. That’s sort of a must when one of the best players on the team wants out and that request is granted.

2026 NFL Draft Notes: Rumors and rumblings around the league | SNY.tv

Players believed to be near the top of New York’s board include linebacker Sonny Styles, Love, and safety Caleb Downs. Receiver Jordyn Tyson is also in consideration, though injury concerns could make him a risk at No. 5. Sources believe Love would be the pick if available, but that appears unlikely. One head coach was adamant the Giants’ pick is Downs. Another team selecting top 10 told SNY its scouts were under the impression they wanted Styles. Again: Uncertainty.

A trade remains something to monitor. The Giants, like Arizona and Tennessee, would be open to moving back, though little traction has developed. If the Jets select Reese, Love goes to Arizona and Styles to Tennessee, Bailey would be available at No. 5. Every source SNY spoke with agreed he is the top pass rusher in the class — a scenario that could prompt a team to trade up. The Giants would listen.

Albert Breer’s 2026 NFL Draft Needs for Every Team Reveal a Compelling Theme | SI.com

If they stick, Styles would make sense as the sort of field general middle ’backer John Harbaugh always seemed to have in Baltimore with Ray Lewis, C.J. Mosley and Roquan Smith. Yet more and more, you hear they may want to help out starting QB Jaxson Dart. And with WR Malik Nabers on the mend, Carnell Tate and Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson are very much on the radar. Harbaugh’s mention of the O-line as an area to improve does make Francis Mauigoa a consideration, though he’d likely have to start as a guard in New York (throwing the pick value question into the equation). With the 10th pick now part of the picture, Penn State guard Vega Ioane looms as a stylistic fit for Greg Roman’s run game. And I honestly haven’t heard Caleb Downs’ name connected to the Giants much, but he fits the need in Harbaugh’s defense for a heady, traffic-controlling safety.

OL back in play for Giants in first round | ESPN.com

Now armed with the fifth and 10th overall picks, the Giants have more options at the top of this year’s draft. That means offensive line is back in play as a realistic option in the first round, particularly with the 10th pick.

Utah’s Spencer Fano, Miami’s Francis Mauigoa and Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane are fits. Fano is considered the safest offensive lineman in this draft while Mauigoa would’ve been the clear-cut top OL if not for some concerns about his back. Ioane is the consensus best guard.

New York Giants mock draft: Predicting the 10th pick after the Dexter Lawrence trade | The Athletic

Round 1, pick 5: Sonny Styles, ILB, Ohio State. This is the part of the draft process when every possible scenario gets floated, but I’m not backing off Styles, who has been linked to the Giants throughout the pre-draft process. He fits Harbaugh’s history of heavily investing in a top inside linebacker, and he has the intangibles to be a foundational piece for the team’s new culture.

Round 1, pick 10: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State. The Giants hosted the other top receivers in this class — Ohio State’s Carnell Tate and USC’s Makai Lemon — for pre-draft visits, so they clearly have interest in adding a top weapon for second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart. The Giants’ wide receiver room is shaky, especially with Malik Nabers recovering from a major knee injury. Tyson is viewed by some scouts as the most talented receiver in this class, but he has a concerning injury history.

Giants 4-Round Mock Draft: What Will New York Do With Its 2 Top-10 Picks? | FOX Sports

Round 1 (No. 5 overall): Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State. One of Harbaugh’s top priorities was fixing the second-worst run defense in the NFL, and now he’s got a 340-pound (or more) hole to fill in the middle of it. He can’t fill all of it, but adding the athletic, speedy Sonny Styles up the middle would be a great way to start.

Round 1 (No. 10 overall): Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State. The Giants already have a star-in-the-making in Malik Nabers, when he’s healthy, but it’s the No. 2 receiver that can really turn an offense into one that’s dynamic. And Jordyn Tyson would be the perfect complement — a strong, quick, 6-2, 203-pounder who can make the tough catches and draw the defense away from Nabers.

2026 NFL Mock Draft: Jets reset on defense | PFF

5. New York Giants: Francis Mauigoa, OT Miami.  New head coach John Harbaugh is used to having excellent pass-blocking offensive lines. His Baltimore Ravens ranked third in team pass-blocking grade over the past decade. The Giants’ line last season was solid, ranking 11th in pass-blocking grade (71.1), but there is room for improvement. Mauigoa improved significantly as a pass blocker throughout his college career. He allowed fewer than one pressure per game in his final season, surrendering 15 pressures across 16 games.

10. New York Giants: Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State. Several mocks have Styles going fifth overall to New York. His availability here would be an excellent scenario for the team. The Giants released their primary linebacker from last season, Bobby Okereke, while the other starter, Micah McFadden, missed nearly all of last season due to a foot injury. New York added Tremaine Edmunds, but it does not have a linebacker on the roster who has earned a PFF grade above 70.0 in any of the past three seasons. Styles spent his career at Ohio State, earning both a run-defense grade and a coverage grade above 85.0 in his final season.

Valencia CF will experience a historic night this evening in their visit to RCD Mallorca.

The Mestalla side will become the fourth team in the history of Spanish football to reach the mark of 3,000 matches played in the Primera División, joining the select club made up of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Athletic Club.

This milestone comes at a moment of maximum tension for the black-and-white club. The team currently managed by Carlos Corberán is immersed in a desperate battle to avoid relegation to the second tier.

After a season marked by institutional instability and financial problems, Valencia need to pick up points at Son Moix to move away from the danger zone.

A historic LALIGA club in hard times

Despite their current difficulties, Valencia’s record in LALIGA is enviable. The club has 6 league titles in its trophy cabinet and sits fifth in the competition’s all-time standings, having amassed 1,294 wins in the top flight to date.

Mestalla has witnessed glorious eras, but today the absolute priority is survival on the pitch. For tonight’s match, Corberán is relying on the core group that led the comeback in the second half of last season. Players such as Hugo Duro, the team’s top scorer, and captain José Luis Gayà will be key in trying to overcome the Bermellones.

There hasn't been much to shout about this week but in a strange way that probably sums Dundee United up just now.

A 4-2 defeat at Ibrox followed by a 3-2 win over Livingston tells you everything you need to know about another rollercoaster season.

There is a good team in there but also a team that cannot quite get out of its own way.

The numbers back it up: Attack wise, we're sixth best with 45 goals scored. It's a team that going forward has pace and real quality, especially on the counter.

But defensively, it's a back three and a goalkeeper that has to defend far too much. Only two teams have conceded more than the 54 United have and only Livingston have kept fewer than our five clean sheets.

It's no wonder United find themselves stuck in no man's land.

Seventh place and likely safe and clear of trouble but miles away from where they wanted to be after finishing fourth last season. It is a strange place to be but a bit meh... not bad enough to panic and definitely not good enough to get excited.

Paul touched on it last week with Amar Fatah and Luca Stephenson. Two players who brought real quality into the team. Losing them now only underlines where United are, but with these guys out can two others step up with five games to play?

Looking ahead to the summer and next season, there seems to be some positives. Charlie Dewar's time on loan at Alloa has led to him being named in the PFA Scotland League One team of the year - can he build on that and make a claim for being part of the first-team squad like Big Sam Cleall-Harding and Owen Stirton have this season?

Current contract options look like being taken up and three new faces are already signed up for the 26-27 campaign.

But the priority is clear. Find a way to keep the door shut while still carrying a threat at the other end.

Get that right and this season looks like a stepping stone. Get it wrong again and it will feel like a missed opportunity and nothing learned.

We are just days away from arguably the most important event of the entire off-season: the NFL Draft. The Minnesota Vikings have nine picks in total, including the 18th overall selection. There are a number of routes the Vikings could go down, and in this one, we will take a look at three potential prospects that Minnesota could take at pick 18.

Option 1: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon

The single most mocked prospect to Minnesota during this entire pre-draft process, Oregon's Dillon Thieneman, would be a seamless transition from Harrison Smith. Thieneman plays the kind of roaming, run-supporting playstyle that would thrive in Brian Flores's defense.

Option 2: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon

Staying in the Pacific Northwest, Minnesota could look to bolster its weapons by adding the explosive playmaker Kenyon Sadiq. Sadiq would bring an athletic playstyle that has been missing from this offense for years, and could carve out a massive role in this offense in year one.

Option 3: Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State

The final option for the Minnesota Vikings in the 2026 NFL Draft is to replace some huge losses to the interior of the defensive line. Minnesota parted ways with Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave to carve out some cap space, and McDonald fits a similar playstyle that could disrupt offenses in year one.

Baroness Karren Brady has stepped down from her position as vice-chair of West Ham United after 16 years at the Premier League club.

Her decision comes amid the Hammers' fight to avoid top-flight relegation, with Nuno Espirito Santo's side sitting just two points above the drop with five matches left to play.

The 57-year-old took up her role at West Ham United in January 2010 after joint-chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan bought the club.

Prior to that, she had been appointed as managing director at Birmingham City after Gold and Sullivan bought into the club in March 1993.

Reflecting on her tenure in a club statement, Baroness Brady said: "It has been a privilege to work alongside the board, management, players, staff and supporters at West Ham United.

"Together we have achieved remarkable milestones, but the highlight for me will always be lifting the Europa Conference League trophy - a moment that will stay with me forever.

"I am deeply grateful for the relationships, challenges and opportunities that have shaped my time at the club."

Baroness Brady also led negotiations to secure the club's move to the London Stadium and built a season ticket base of more than 50,000 supporters.

"Her contribution to our growth, such as the long-term contract for the London Stadium, shareholders transition and the British record transfer of Declan Rice, has been absolutely essential and not always fully appreciated," said joint-chair Daniel Kretinsky.

What do you think about the announcement? Was this the right time for Baroness Brady to go? How big an impact will this have on the club moving forward?

In the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints surprised some with their selection of Alontae Taylor out of Tennessee. Taylor would go on to have a major versatile role in the New Orleans defense for the last four years before departing as a free agent this offseason. Now, the Saints may eye up a similar player like Tacario Davis from the Washington Huskies as a replacement.

New Orleans ranked fourth in pass defense last year thanks to a young secondary. However, losing Taylor creates a need that they may fill with an early draft choice. If they use a later pick on their secondary, then Davis has some valuable attributes that have NFL teams interested.

Tacario Davis bio

• Position: Cornerback
• College: Washington Huskies
• Height: 6-feet, 4 inches
• Weight: 194 pounds
• 40-yard dash: 4.41 seconds
• 10-yard split: 1.59 seconds
• Vertical jump: 37"
• Broad jump: 10'3"

A three-star recruit at Millikan High School in California, Davis chose the Arizona Wildcats to start his collegiate career. He'd see only five games of playing time as a freshman in 2022, but emerged in big-time fashion as a sophomore. In 2023, Davis had an interception and led the Pac-12 with 15 passes broken up, leading to a 2nd Team All-Pac-12 selection.

Davis didn't record an interception in 2024, but broke up 6 passes in earning a second straight All-Pac-12 recognition. He'd jump to the Washington Huskies as a transfer last season. Injuries limited Davis to only seven games in 2025, where he'd have 2 interceptions and 3 pass breakups.

Strengths

• Excellent height and length
• Outstanding wing span
• Presents imposing target to throw over
• Reads quarterbacks extremely well in off-ball coverage
• Good anticipation when jumping shorter routes
• Solid overall coverage technique

Weaknesses

• Trouble matching precise route runners
• lays too upright, limiting his reaction quickness against breaks
• May not have the agility for consistent NFL man coverage
• Can get grabby against shifty receivers
• Must improve in run support

Tacario Davis 2026 draft outlook

Not too many corners possess the combination of length and speed that Davis brings. It's those measurables that could cause a team to grab him with a second or third round pick. Davis has some flaws in his game, but his natural abilities should at least allow him to be an instant contributor in extra defensive back packages.

Tacario Davis has a lot of the physical attributes that Alontae Taylor had with the Saints. Davis will probably be more effective in off-ball coverage early on, but that's mostly the type of scheme that Brandon Staley often employs. Depending on the system or his development, Davis could also be moved to safety at some point. If the Saints are looking for a bigger defensive back on the second day, Davis could definitely be on their radar.

Inter Milan could reportedly use Carlos Augusto as a bargaining chip in talks to sign Atalanta star Marco Palestra.

According to L’Interista, La Dea are genuinely interested in signing the Brazilian wingback at the end of the season.

Carlos Augusto is stalling on signing a new contract at San Siro.

Despite being offered fresh terms, the 27-year-old is still mulling over his future at the club.

Indeed, the former Monza star has failed to secure a regular starting berth under Cristian Chivu this season.

Therefore, he could ask for a transfer in the summer, with Atalanta joining Roma in the race to capture his services.

Inter Milan to Offer Carlos Augusto as Counterpart in Deal to Sign Marco Palestra

Inter have slapped a €25 million price tag on their unsettled star.

However, the Nerazzurri could use Augusto as a makeweight in a deal to sign Marco Palestra.

Aware of Atalanta’s interest in the Brazilian defender, they could look to insert him into negotiations to lower the overall cost of a deal.

As for Palestra, he has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Denzel Dumfries on the right wing.

Indeed, the Dutchman has attracted interest from Premier League clubs, with his €25 million release clause set to become active in July.

Valve has quietly uploaded a Steam Controller unboxing video to the Steam platform. However, the video is currently unavailable for viewing, as attempting to play it results in a "This video has not been processed for streaming" message. This occurred late last night when one of the Valve watchers noticed, via a SteamDB entry, that Valve had uploaded a video titled "steam_controller_unboxing_2026" on April 20. It makes it seem as one of the clearest indications that the launch of this new hardware from Steam is imminent, possibly just days away.

This follows another confirmation from the same industry insider, @SadlyItsBradley on X, who noted recent shipping documents indicating that Valve has received its first large volume imports of a new wireless controller. The company may be stocking up warehouses in preparation for the Steam Controller's launch. Since this happened early last week, Valve's stockpiling of the new Steam Controller may be complete, and the first unboxing materials are about to be released for streaming. Additionally, this might coincide with the launch and pricing update, as we currently have no information about the Steam Controller's price. For now, all we know is that the launch is imminent, and we expect to hear the news any day now.

Galatasaray'ın oyununun kilit ismi Victor Osimhen için bu yaz transfer dönemi oldukça hareketli geçecek. Nijeryalı yıldız için İspanyol devi Real Madrid devreye girdi.

Galatasaray geçtiğimiz sezon 75 milyon euro'luk rekor bonservisle kadrosuna Victor Osimhen'i dahil etmişti. Oynadığı futbol ve gösterdiği başarıyla kısa sürede takımın kilit haline gelmeyi başaran Nijeryalı yıldız için yaz transfer dönemi hareketli geçecek.

REAL MADRİD İLGİLENİYOR

İspanyol basınından Fichajes'in haberine göre, Real Madrid, Galatasaray'dan Victor Osimhen ile ilgileniyor. Haberde, İspanyol devinin forvet hattında yeni bir yapılanmaya gitmek istediği ve Osimhen’in bu plan için ideal isimlerden biri olarak görüldüğü belirtildi.

DEVLER YARIŞA GİRECEK

Öte yandan Osimhen’in adı daha önce de Barcelona, PSG, Liverpool ve Manchester United gibi kulüplerle anılmıştı. Galatasaray'ın bu transferlere nasıl karşılık vereceği oyuncu ile yollarını ayırıp ayırmayacağı ise yaz transfer döneminde netlik kazanacak.

Ukrayna kulübü Shakhtar Donetsk ile tarih yazan teknik direktör Arda Turan'dan Galatasaray'a bir öneri geldi. Arda Turan'ın açıklaması sarı-kırmızılı taraftarlar arasında 'Aklı Galatasaray'da kaldı' söylemlerine neden oldu.

Teknik direktör Arda Turan yönetimindeki Shakhtar Donetsk, ligde şampiyonluk yolunda emin adımlarla ilerliyor. UEFA Konferans Ligi'nde yarı finale yükselerek zorlu şartlarda büyük bir başarıya imza atan Arda Turan yönetimindeki Shakhtar Donetsk bu kez de ligde tarihi rekabette gol atamadığı zorlu rakibi Polisyya'yı 1-0 mağlup etti. Arda Turan'ın ekibi böylece şampiyonluk yolunda önemli bir engeli aştı.

GALATASARAY YORUMU

Öte yandan Galatasaraylı eski futbolcu Arda Turan'dan Galatasaray için de bir öneri geldi. Tecrübeli teknik adam Galatasaray'ın GSYİAD'a kapılarını açması çok faydalı olabileceğini savundu. İşte o açıklama:

-Galatasaray'ın GSYİAD'a kapılarını açması çok faydalı. Galatasaray Kulübü'nün kaybedecek bir dakikası bile yok çünkü; potensiyeli Real Madrid'in Barcelona'nın Bayern Münih'in United'ın potansiyeli. Seyircisinin gücü böyle bir güç.

OKAN BURUK SONRASI

Arda Turan'ın bu yorumu sarı-kırmızılı taraftarların 'Aklı Galatasaray'da kaldı'' yorumları yapmasına neden oldu. Öte yandan Arda Turan'ın gelecekte Galatasaray'ın teknik direktörlüğüne gelme ihtimali konuşuluyor. Okan Buruk'un olası ayrılığında sarı-kırmızılıların Arda Turan ile anlaşması oldukça olası gözüküyor.

The post Curve Founder Asks “Are We an Industry of Clowns?” After $750M in DeFi Hacks appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Imagine your grandmother puts her life savings into Aave – one of the biggest DeFi protocols on the planet. Then on Monday morning she tries to withdraw and cannot.

Not because Aave was hacked. Aave says it is operating as intended. Not because rsETH was hacked. rsETH says all code is safe. Not because LayerZero was hacked. LayerZero says everything is working fine.

She just cannot get her money out.

That scenario played out for real depositors this past weekend. And now Michael Egorov, the founder of Curve Finance, one of DeFi’s most battle-tested protocols, has had enough.

“WTF? Are we industry of clowns?” he posted on X.

The Problem Is Not the Hacks. It Is How We Build.

Egorov’s argument cuts deeper than the rsETH exploit itself. His point is that $606 million in DeFi losses in April alone – led by the $292 million Kelp DAO drain and the $285 million Drift exploit – and over $750 million in 2026 so far, is not bad luck.

It is the predictable result of an industry that keeps adding centralized single points of failure without thinking through what happens when they break.

“All issues like this should be prevented BEFORE they happen, not AFTER,” he wrote. “Number of single points of failure should be reduced, not increased. When these points of failure are unavoidable – trust should be split.”

That last line matters. He is not calling for DeFi to become TradFi. He is calling for DeFi to take its own architecture seriously.

Egorov Wants the Ethereum and Solana Foundations to Step Up

Egorov specifically called on the Ethereum Foundation and Solana Foundation to bring ecosystem projects together and develop shared safety principles – covering how to build safely, how to verify safety, and how to properly configure infrastructure that other protocols rely on.

He also suggested the industry could learn something from traditional finance, which has long dealt with centralized points of failure and developed frameworks around protecting them.

When one follower asked whether Curve itself would share its own principles and risk management practices first, Egorov replied: “Need to formalize the set of rules but yes, possible.”

That means Curve Finance may be among the first major DeFi protocols to publish its own security standards – a concrete first step toward the industry-wide framework Egorov is calling for.

DeFi Will Win, But Only If It Grows Up

He closed his post with three words: “DeFi will win.”

The conviction is still there. But after a month that has exposed exactly how fragile the ecosystem’s trust assumptions are, winning is going to require building differently.

The post Arbitrum Security Council Freezes 30,766 ETH Linked to KelpDAO Exploit appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze 30,766 ETH (worth $70 million) connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The action was taken to block attacker access and protect user funds, but it has also raised concerns over decentralization in crypto systems.

Arbitrum Freezes 30,766 ETH After KelpDAO Exploit

Today on X, the Arbitrum Security Council announced that it has frozen 30,766 ETH linked to the KelpDAO exploit and moved it to a secure wallet after a major hack. 

The council carefully considered the decision before taking action. Out of 12 council members, nine voted in favor of freezing the assets. The move came after close coordination with law enforcement, who shared information about the exploiter’s identity. 

“The Security Council identified and executed a technical approach to move funds to safety without affecting any other chain state or Arbitrum users.” 

The team ran deep technical checks to ensure the transfer did not affect any users or applications.

Threat researcher Vladimir S. praised the decision, saying, “Arbitrum just froze $70M in ETH hacked by DPRK-associated attackers in a recent KelpDAO incident. Nicely done!”

WLFI is accused of wrongfully freezing user assets, while ARB froze stolen funds linked to DPRK hackers.
One is ethically accepted, the other is criticized but both prove the same point.

When it matters most, governance overrides decentralization.

— Baeyeee (@baeyeee) April 21, 2026

The frozen funds will stay locked until Arbitrum governance, in coordination with relevant legal authorities, decides the next course of action.

A Major Hack, A Fast Response

It started on April 18, 2026. Attackers exploited a weakness in Kelp DAO’s LayerZero-powered bridge and walked away with 116,500 rsETH, a liquid restaking token issued by Kelp DAO. 

The exploit targeted compromised verifier infrastructure, giving the attackers a clean entry point to drain funds worth an estimated $292 million.

Two days later, Arbitrum moved. And instead of reversing the chain or affecting other users, the council used a targeted approach. It secured only the affected funds without disrupting the broader network.

This helped recover roughly a quarter of the stolen assets, making it one of the more effective responses to a major DeFi exploit.

Debate Over Decentralization and Control

Not everyone is happy with this move. Community members argue that freezing funds goes against the core idea of decentralization.

One X user questioned, “So a council can just freeze 30k ETH, and we’re still calling this decentralized?”

Leonidas, creator of the DOG memecoin, went further, stating,

“Decentralized has become a marketing term. Only Bitcoin is actually decentralized.”

Another user drew a sharp comparison: “WLFI is accused of wrongfully freezing user assets, while ARB froze stolen funds linked to DPRK hackers. One is ethically accepted, the other is criticized — but both prove the same point.”

A user named monerify raised a deeper concern, asking whether a compromised council could theoretically control all on-chain funds. 

No. They can make the chain claim that they did whatever they want to all of the funds on chain. But they cannot compel anyone to listen to those claims. Everyone else can make different claims and choose which set of claims to honor.

— David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz (@JoelKatz) April 21, 2026

Ripple CTO David Schwartz stepped in to clarify: “They can make the chain claim that they did whatever they want to all of the funds on the chain. But they cannot compel anyone to listen to those claims. Everyone else can make different claims and choose which set of claims to honor.”

What Next?

For now, the funds will remain frozen. Arbitrum governance now controls the stolen ETH, keeping it locked in a secure wallet.

No timeline has been set for the final decision, but the process will involve coordination with law enforcement, given the suspected DPRK-linked attackers behind the exploit.

For Kelp DAO users, the recovery of even a quarter of the stolen funds is a big relief.

The post Dogecoin Price Analysis: Is DOGE Primed for More Downside Risk This Month? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The Dogecoin price has been tightly consolidating below a pivotal resistance level since the start of the year, after breaking down from a structure. This could signal a potential bearish set-up, promoting more downside action, but in the long-term, potential remains bullish. New wallet addresses are still emerging, and institutional exposure, reflected in rising ETF balances, continues to build steadily.

This divergence suggests that while the short-term trend remains bearish, accumulation may be quietly taking place beneath the surface, setting up a potential shift in market dynamics if supported by stronger price confirmation.

Dogecoin Price Analysis: Bearish Structure Deepens Below Key Resistance

Dogecoin price continues to trade under pressure as the weekly chart confirms a clear shift from bullish momentum to a sustained downtrend.  The price broke the head and shoulder pattern and is yet to mark a bottom, which is somewhere around $0.4. Momentum indicators add to the downside bias. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) remains in negative territory, pointing to persistent capital outflows, while the RSI hovers below the neutral zone, reflecting weak buying strength.

Historically, similar breakdowns have resulted in sharp corrections of over 70%, and the current setup appears to mirror that pattern. If selling pressure continues, Dogecoin price could revisit the $0.07 level, with a deeper decline toward the $0.03–$0.04 range, levels last seen in early 2021, remaining a realistic scenario.

From a trader’s perspective, the structure remains bearish unless a clear shift occurs. A sustained reclaim above the $0.18 resistance zone, supported by rising volume and a move in RSI above 50, would be required to invalidate the current downtrend. Until then, rallies are likely to face selling pressure, keeping the broader outlook tilted toward further downside.

Top 2 Reasons Why Dogecoin Price Could Turn Bullish Despite Weak Structure

Dogecoin may be showing weakness on the charts, but the underlying data suggests a different story. Despite the downtrend, on-chain activity and institutional flows point toward quiet accumulation. This divergence raises the possibility that a bullish shift could emerge once the price structure begins to align.

Rising New Addresses Signal Fresh Demand Building

On-chain data shows periodic spikes in new Dogecoin addresses, indicating that new users continue to enter the network even during a downtrend. This is a critical early signal. Historically, phases where user growth persists despite falling prices often point to silent accumulation cycles, where smart money positions ahead of a trend reversal. While the price has yet to respond, sustained growth in new addresses suggests that underlying demand is not fading—and could eventually translate into upward momentum once selling pressure weakens.

Institutional Accumulation Through ETF Balances Is Increasing

Another strong bullish signal comes from the steady rise in Dogecoin holdings within US spot ETF structures. Despite the prolonged price decline, ETF balances continue to climb, reflecting consistent institutional accumulation. This divergence between price and accumulation is important: institutions typically build positions during weakness, not strength. If this trend continues, it could create a supply squeeze over time, supporting a stronger recovery once market sentiment shifts.

What This Means for DOGE Price

While the current price action remains bearish, these two factors highlight a growing underlying bid for Dogecoin. The market is showing early signs of accumulation beneath the surface, even as the chart structure lags. A shift in momentum, such as a breakout above key resistance, could quickly align DOGE price with these bullish on-chain signals, potentially triggering a stronger recovery phase.

The post Ethereum’s Next Rally May Have Started: But No One Is Talking About It appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Ethereum (ETH) still appears range-bound on the chart, but the underlying data is starting to diverge in a meaningful way. Over the past week, more than 101,000 ETH has been accumulated, pushing large holdings close to 5 million ETH, while spot ETF inflows have now crossed $12 billion, with consistent capital entering the market. At the same time, Ethereum continues to hold firmly above the $2,300 level, showing sustained demand despite the absence of a breakout.

This kind of disconnect between price action and underlying flows rarely persists for long. When accumulation and institutional demand build while price remains compressed, it typically signals positioning ahead of expansion, not after it. If this divergence continues to develop, Ethereum’s next rally may not start with a visible trigger, it may already be forming beneath the surface.

Trend Structure Shifts as SuperTrend Flips Bullish

Ethereum’s broader trend structure has begun to turn, supported by a key technical signal. The SuperTrend indicator has flipped bullish on the daily timeframe for the first time in over a year, marking a shift in directional bias after a prolonged corrective phase. This transition is occurring while ETH is still trading below major resistance, which makes it structurally significant rather than reactive.

Such early trend reversals typically indicate that downside pressure has weakened and the market is entering a transition phase. When combined with stable price behavior, it often reflects the beginning of a new cycle rather than the end of the previous one.

Accumulation Expands as Large Holders Position Early

On-chain and treasury data show that accumulation is not only present but accelerating. BitMine added 101,627 ETH within a single week, pushing its total holdings to approximately 4.976 million ETH. This marks one of the largest accumulation phases recorded in recent months and reflects a clear increase in exposure from large players.

BITMINE ADDS 101,627 ETH IN ONE WEEK

— Coin Bureau (@coinbureau) April 20, 2026

Accumulation is taking place while Ethereum remains within a defined range, rather than during a breakout. This indicates that buying is driven by positioning at current levels, not by momentum. Such behavior is typically associated with early-stage accumulation, where capital enters before broader market participation.

ETF Inflows Show Consistent Institutional Demand

Institutional flows are reinforcing the same trend observed in accumulation data. Ethereum spot ETFs have now recorded $12.01 billion in cumulative inflows, with recent sessions showing steady capital entry. On April 20 alone, inflows reached $67.77 million, continuing a sequence of positive net flows following earlier volatility.

Total net assets have climbed toward $13.7 billion, reflecting sustained allocation rather than short-term interest. The shift from mixed flows to consistent inflows suggests that institutions are gradually increasing exposure under stable market conditions. This type of demand typically supports longer-term price structure rather than short-lived movements.

Ethereum Price Analysis: Structure Builds After Sharp Reset

Ethereum’s recent price action reflects a clear shift from distribution to accumulation following a sharp downside reset. After failing near the $4,000–$4,500 resistance zone, ETH saw a strong breakdown that pushed price toward the $2,200–$2,000 region, where demand has now started to stabilize the structure. 

Since the drop, ETH price has moved into a consolidation phase, holding above this base while forming a short-term range. However, during the consolidation, volume buildup indicates that participation is increasing even without a breakout. This type of behavior typically reflects absorption rather than selling pressure.

At the same time, the ETH/USDT price chart shows a developing “follow-on buying” zone, where higher lows are beginning to form after the initial rebound. This suggests that buyers are stepping in progressively, not aggressively, which is consistent with early-stage accumulation rather than late-stage momentum.

On the upside, the immediate level to watch sits near $2,800, which acts as a key resistance. A sustained move above this level would confirm strength and open the path toward $3,300, where the next supply zone is positioned. On the downside, the $2,200–$2,300 range remains critical. A breakdown below this zone would weaken the current structure and indicate that accumulation has not fully stabilized yet.

Overall, Ethereum is no longer in a corrective phase, but it has not transitioned into expansion either. The current structure reflects a base-building phase, where demand is gradually returning before any directional move unfolds.

The post Arbitrum (ARB) Coin Price Prediction 2026, 2027 – 2030: Will ARB Hit $6 by 2030? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Arbitrum (ARB), one of the leading Layer-2 scaling solutions on Ethereum, is currently navigating a phase where strong ecosystem relevance contrasts with prolonged price weakness. While the network continues to play a key role in DeFi and Layer-2 infrastructure, its price action has remained under sustained pressure.

Following an extended downtrend, ARB is now stabilizing near lower demand zones, suggesting that selling momentum may be gradually easing. However, the absence of strong upside movement indicates that the market remains in a transitional phase rather than a confirmed recovery.

This creates a critical question: is Arbitrum forming a long-term base after capitulation, or does the structure still reflect weak demand? With 2026 already underway, attention now shifts to whether ARB can reclaim key resistance levels and transition into a recovery phase. Read on as we break down Arbitrum’s April outlook and full-year price trajectory.

Coinpedia’s Arbitrum (ARB) Price Prediction 2026

The broader outlook for Arbitrum in 2026 suggests a market transitioning from a prolonged downtrend into a potential recovery phase, with scope for a significant structural shift if key levels are reclaimed. Following its earlier cycle highs, ARB entered a sustained bearish phase throughout 2025, marked by a descending resistance structure and consistent lower highs. This trend extended into early 2026, eventually pushing the price into a deep value zone where it is now attempting to stabilize.

At present, ARB is forming a base near its lower demand region, indicating that downside pressure is gradually weakening. This phase typically reflects early accumulation, where long-term participants begin positioning ahead of a potential trend reversal.

Looking ahead, the primary objective for ARB is to reclaim its immediate resistance near $0.12, followed by stronger structural levels around $0.18 and $0.20. A breakout above these zones would signal a shift in market structure, opening the path for a broader recovery. If this recovery phase gains traction, supported by renewed liquidity, Layer-2 adoption, and ecosystem growth, ARB could gradually move toward the $0.70 to $1.20 range, representing a return toward higher valuation bands seen in previous cycles.

However, such a move would require sustained strength and confirmation across multiple resistance levels. Until then, the asset remains in a rebuilding phase, where failure to hold the $0.08 support could delay recovery and extend consolidation.

Arbitrum (ARB) News Update
