ANNOUNCING A NEW ERA OF PELICANS COVERAGE 🏀

By Chrissy Smith • August 3, 2026
For more than 15 years, I had the privilege of telling sports stories as a writer. Before that, I experienced the game from a different perspective—as a college basketball player. Those experiences shaped how I see basketball. The game is more than a final score. It's about the decisions, the adjustments, the matchups, the strategy, and the moments that decide winning and losing. That's why I'm excited to launch a new chapter of Pelicans coverage focused on one simple idea: Understand the Pelicans. Don't just watch them. Starting this season, I'll be providing in-depth coverage of the New Orleans Pelicans through: * Weekly written analysis breaking down the team, players, strategy, and biggest storylines. * Film breakdowns explaining the X's and O's behind what happens on the court. * Weekly podcast conversations discussing the latest from the Pelicans and the NBA. My goal is simple: to give Pelicans fans thoughtful, fair, and knowledgeable coverage that helps you see the game in a different way. Just honest reporting, basketball insight, and a passion for the New Orleans Pelicans. Whether you've been following this team for 20 years or you're just getting started, I hope you'll join me as we take a deeper look at the team we all love. Understand the Pelicans. Don't just watch them.

Transfer Portal Spotlight: Riley Rushing

By Patrick Harkness • August 3, 2026
OG 
Riley Rushing- (D2) Mars Hill U 
Riley Rushing fits Tulane as a 6’4”, 295-pound versatile interior offensive lineman (OG with OT experience) with proven D-II starting production, elite physical finish, block-sustaining ability, and pancake-heavy run-game dominance who immediately adds competition and depth to a revamped OL room needing toughness and flexibility after key graduations. 
He’s a junior transfer from Mars Hill University (D-II, North Carolina) who committed on January 5, 2026, via the portal (entered November 20, 2025). A product of Milton HS in Alpharetta, GA (near Atlanta), he has two years of eligibility remaining (#71).  
Athletic Profile and Scheme Fit: Tulane’s offensive line (under head coach Will Hall and OL coach Cody Kennedy) prioritizes physical, nasty trench warriors who sustain blocks through the whistle, dominate the run game with pancakes, and provide reliable pass protection on the interior in their west coast hybrid attack. Rushing is a perfect match as a high-floor, scheme-versatile piece. 
• Size and physicality: At 6’4”/295, he brings a powerful, long-levered frame with the agility to play fast, ideal for sealing edges, pulling, and finishing blocks violently. 
• Versatility and technique: Two-year starter who has lined up at both OG and OT (plus interior flexibility). Excels at sustaining blocks and piling up pancakes; recorded zero sacks allowed in the 2025 season despite heavy snaps. 
• Intangibles: Southeast ties (Alpharetta, GA) and a reputation as a relentless, high-motor finisher who brings toughness and football IQ from a competitive D-II program. Tulane targeted portal OLs with immediate starting upside to replace departed starters like LT Derrick Graham and LG Shadre Hurst. #RollWave Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X
