Let the Festivities Begin

The 4th of July has come and past. It now seems we are at midway point to summer. School will be starting soon and football will be here taking over our Sundays. There is still exciting things to look forward this Summer with baseball being the center of it all. MLB All Star Break break is always an exciting time for baseball fans. This years festivities will take place in Seattle and there is a lot to look forward to.

Great Looking Stadium

Dingers Only


First up is the Home Run Derby. This event is always a fan favorite, and watching this athletes crush balls at a rapid rate. This year's lineup is stacked with some of the league's best power hitters. Rangers' fans are excited about the late addition of Adolis Garcia to the tournament. Expect to see some massive home runs and plenty of excitement as players compete for might be the most awesome award to have in your case:



Its tough to say who will win due to being so many talented players in the Derby. I think Adolis Garcia has a shot at taking this thing home. Garcia has 23 HR on the year and hopes to bring his power to make a run to the Finals. Of course, anything can happen in the Home Run Derby!

Draft Day



The MLB Draft will take place this Sunday, July 9th & it looks like the first two picks will be Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews. Both are highly touted prospects, so it's hard to say who the Pittsburgh Pirates will draft with the number 1 pick. Ultimately it will come down to the team's needs and which player the believe with have the most success at the major league level.



The Stars Align



Next up is the All- Star Game itself. This is a chance for the best players in the league to face off, showcase their skills, and see a great performance from everyone.  There are a few teams that have multiple players on the roster. Braves (8), Rangers (6), and Dodgers (5) have the most players on the rosters. These teams hope that the talent on the roster will translate for post season success at the end of the season.


Overall, MLB All-Star Break is a can't miss event even for the casual fan. There's something for everyone throughout the weekend. Let the stars shine bright in Seattle!

Tulane Makes History: Tylan George and Jordyn Crites Become the Highest-Rated Commits in Program History

By Patrick Harkness • June 12, 2026
Tulane Green Wave fans have plenty to celebrate this cycle and previous. According to the latest 247Sports composite rankings, the Green Wave have landed the two highest-rated recruits in program history for the Class of 2026, and they’re not just any two prospects. Tylan George, the massive interior offensive lineman from West Monroe High School in Louisiana, sits at No. 1 with a 0.8939 rating. The 6’3”, 310-pound 4-star prospect has been a dominant force on the offensive line, earning praise for his pancake block totals and elite strength (515-pound squat, 315 bench as a junior). George brings immediate size, power, and local pride to an offensive line room that’s hungry for impact talent. Right behind him at No. 2 is Jordyn Crites, the 6’6”, 255-260 pound defensive lineman from Friendswood High School in Texas. Crites recently earned his 4-star upgrade and a 0.8926 composite, making him one of the most athletic and long defensive linemen in the class (83-inch wingspan, 4.8 forty, 530-pound squat). He played both defensive end and tight end in high school and brings versatility, length, and upside that fits perfectly in Will Hall’s defensive scheme. Together, George and Crites represent a seismic shift in Tulane recruiting. Not only are they the top two in the 2026 class, but their ratings mark a new ceiling for what the Green Wave can attract. One bolsters the trenches on offense with mauling power; the other adds length and explosiveness on defense. Both have potential to contribute early and raise the floor (and ceiling) for their respective position groups. This isn’t just a good class, it’s a statement. Tulane is no longer just competing for regional talent; they’re landing blue-chip prospects who have Power conference offers and are choosing to build something special in New Orleans. The Green Wave are trending up, and these two are the new faces of that ascent. #RollWave #RMFW Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X
