Welcome to this week's In Case You Missed It!
A quick review of this week in sports
- Weekly Sandy Alcantara update: still the best pitcher in baseball
- The XFL is back! Again… again.
- Vegas, Seattle, Orlando, St. Louis, San Antonio, Arlington, Houston & DC. 3 texas teams huh?
- Fun fact: no active nba player has ever faced the kings in the playoffs
- The Celtics have emerged as a team trying to trade for KD. Question is: would he agree to go there? Lol couldn’t say that with a straight face
- Abolish Angel Hernandez
- Prayers to John Metchie!
- NFL+ is here. Just another streaming service to confuse everyone. Is the cable bundle about to make a comeback because these streaming costs are getting out of hand
- Kylers contract requires “4 hours of independent study time” lol that’s short (no pun intended) for our QB doesn’t watch film
- Those New Soldier field renovations are amazing
- Pistons brought back their green throwbacks!! They’re perfect!
- MLB trade rumors starting to heat up. Can’t wait to see the best players on the market somehow find their way to the Yankees or Dodgers….. baseball
- Chris Carson retiring from the NFL is sad. Injuries are a real mf
- Julio signing with Tampa… that offense will be terrifying for 3 games
- Mike Thomas won’t be on PUP long. WR1 is back and the league should be concerned
- Dennis Allen says Taysom’s role will be similar in that he’ll still get SOME snaps at QB, and uneducated fans will scream that that’s a bad idea
- Saints signed Malcom Brown for RB depth. God help us
- It’s only Tuesday… how about the news take chill pill eh?
- Mike hates Jeff Duncan
- Mike Trout diagnosed with a rare back condition. The baseball Gods are cruel
- Yankees trade for Andrew Benintendi. The rich get richer
- George Pickens is going to be the next great Steelers wide receiver. Book it
- There’s a clause in Zion’s contract that says he has to keep the sum of his weight and body fat percentage under 295. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that before
- Eli Apple getting embarrassed by Chase in camp. Seems like they’re both in mid season form
- DK Metcalf getting his new deal before Drew Lock tanks his stats is a brilliant move
- And just like that, Kyler’s study clause is removed from his contract. I guess public ridicule can lead to anything
- It was a hell of a run kwon!!
- I saw that pic of Derrick Henry in the Eddie George tank top. I’m still not convinced Derrick Henry is a real person. Good lord
- Shohei was asked about potentially being traded. Let’s just take a minute and think about the absurdity of the potential haul that would require. The biggest haul in sports history
- Here come the Mariners
- Aaron Judge needs to be urine tested IMMEDIATELY this is getting out of hand
Well, that was the week in the sport's universe! In case you missed it, I hope you're all caught up now. See y'all next week.
A quick share helps us a lot!
Tulane Green Wave Commit Queens U Transfer Carson Schwieger @CarsonSchwieger 6-9/222 Schwieger is a specialized perimeter shooter and spot-up threat. His calling card is elite three-point shooting on high volume, he ranked among the nation’s top volume 3PT makers while hitting at a 40.9% clip (34th nationally). Most of his shots are catch-and-shoot threes (both open and contested); he has taken virtually no mid-range jumpers all season. He is effective as a stretch 4 in pick-and-pop actions (7/20 on the season) and forces defenses to close out hard, creating driving lanes for teammates. Shooting Mechanics: Quick, repeatable release; comfortable on the move or stationary; good on both contested and uncontested attempts. Finishing/Inside Play: Efficient but low-volume around the rim (56–57% on 2PT attempts, mostly at the rim or in limited post-ups). Not a primary creator or driver, low usage, minimal self-creation, and few assists/turnovers indicate a low-maintenance offensive role. Rebounding: Solid but not dominant (3.1 RPG in 24.5 MPG). Uses his frame and length well on the glass, especially on the defensive end, but is not an elite crash-and-grab guy. Positional rebounding is fine for a stretch 4. Intangibles/Motor/IQ: High feel for the game, low turnover rate, smart off-ball cutter, and team-first player. Physical and competitive; no major red flags in effort or attitude from available reports. Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X #RollWave
Tulane Green Wave Commit Versatile Forward Joah Chappelle 6’8” / 200 lbs Dutchtown HS (5A GA State POY) / Pearl River CC / Georgia State (Hampton/Atlanta, GA) Physical Profile: Long, athletic 6’8” forward with excellent length, mobility, and a high-motor frame. Has grown into his body and added strength since high school, giving him the versatility to play multiple positions on both ends. Elite wingspan and quickness allow him to guard 1-through-5 effectively while crashing the glass and protecting the rim. Explosive in transition and finishes with authority around the basket. Scoring Versatility (Primary Strength): Efficient inside scorer with a rapidly expanding perimeter game. At Pearl River CC, he averaged 16.3 PPG on 53.1% shooting with six double-doubles and multiple 20+ point games (season-high 27). Capable of scoring in the post, attacking off the dribble, and knocking down open threes (improved 37.8% from deep at Georgia State). High-level athlete who finishes through contact and excels in the open floor, lefty with soft touch and developing face-up skills. Playmaking & Basketball IQ: Surprisingly skilled passer for a forward, dished out 3.1 APG at the JUCO level with vision that creates for teammates. High IQ player who reads defenses, makes smart decisions in transition, and elevates those around him. Understands how to use his size and length to manipulate help defense. Defense & Rebounding (Elite Trait): High-motor, blue-collar defender who takes pride in shutting down opponents. Extremely versatile, can guard guards, wings, and bigs with his length and lateral quickness. At Georgia State he led the team in blocks (0.9 BPG) and offensive rebounds while posting strong rebounding numbers (5.3 RPG overall). Instinctive shot-blocker and lob threat on the defensive glass. Never takes a play off. Intangibles & Leadership: Relentless competitor with a championship mentality. Named 5A State Player of the Year at Dutchtown and MACCC Freshman of the Year at Pearl River, proven winner who steps up in big moments. High-character kid with a strong work ethic and family-driven background. Coaches rave about his versatility, toughness, and ability to impact winning on both ends. Overall Traits & Projection: Dynamic, multi-positional forward with elite defensive tools, rebounding prowess, and growing offensive versatility. Tulane lands a high-upside transfer who can immediately anchor the frontcourt with his length, motor, and two-way impact. Projects as a difference-maker in the AAC, a modern forward who can guard, rebound, run the floor, and develop into a primary scoring option. His senior year at Dutchtown and dominant JUCO campaign showed massive growth, and he’s only scratching the surface of his potential. Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X #RollWave
