Maybe Kevin Durant actually says yes to Tom Brady’s recruiting pitch. Maybe Danny Ainge finally cashes in the war chest on Anthony Davis without sacrificing either Jay. Considering what …

On Tuesday, ESPN College Basketball Insider Joe Lunardi put out his second edition of the “Way Too Early Bracketology.” In those projections, Lunardi had the University of Connecticut men’s basketball team pegged for a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament, probably a bi-product of the team’s ridiculously hard non-conference schedule.

Just last week, former Illinois defensive back Devon Witherspoon inked a four-year, $132 million extension, making him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.

There is, however, an emerging consensus forming that Kansas freshman Tyran Stokes is the player most …

The afternoon of Tennessee’s football media day, I met a couple of friends for a late lunch. I was prepared for quarterback questions. I wasn’t prepared for basketball questions. Throughout most of the South, a basketball discussion in early August would be blasphemous. Football takes center stage now, and there’s no room for anything else – unless, of course, you …
