Texas A&M's Aicha Coulibaly to miss remainder of the season after injuring her knee
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M's Aicha Coulibaly will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, leaving the Aggies without their leading scorer.
Coulibaly was injured Sunday in the Aggies' 64-51 loss to No. 7 LSU.
The 6-foot Coulibaly had 12.8 points, 5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game this season. She was leading the Aggies in scoring for a second straight season.

2026 4-star RB re-affirms his commitment to Texas A&M
This weekend, Texas A&M coach Mike Elko and his staff are hosting 18 prospects from the 2026 recruiting class, including six commitments in the cycle, providing another opportunity to capitalize on the program's early success in landing recruits in four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory, and four-star running back Jonathan Hatton, who are both being heavily pursued by other programs this summer. Hatton was previously committed to Oklahoma before re-opening his recruitment and ultimately committing to the Aggies in late March. However, the Sooners are still attempting to reel him back in, as the Cibolo (TX) native will take an official visit to Oklahoma on June 20. Still, over the past two months after his commitment, including this weekend's official visit, Hatton is completely locked in ahead of Early Signing Day in December. Advertisement On Saturday morning, Hatton reaffirmed his commitment to Texas A&M, releasing a video on social media (X) while sending a subtle message that his alliance with the Aggies remains strong, even with his OV to Oklahoma just a couple of weeks away. On the field, Hatton is an elite runner with the vision, footwork, and upfield burst to become a star at the next level, having produced 1,229 yards and 20 touchdowns while averaging 9.17 yards per carry. With Le'Veon Moss leaving after the 2025 season, bringing Hatton into the backfield lineup will provide immediate depth in 2026. According to 247Sports Composite, Hatton is currently positioned as the 77th-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 5th-ranked running back, and the 10th-ranked prospect in Texas.

Phillies' Aaron Nola Confirms Rib Stress Fracture Amid Setback
Phillies' Aaron Nola Confirms Rib Stress Fracture Amid Setback originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies placed starting pitcher Aaron Nola on the injured list with a right ankle sprain in May. Since he's been out, the Phillies have cobbled together innings from bullpen games, Taijuan Walker, and, fortunately, the emergence of Mick Abel. Advertisement But Nola suffered a setback in the form of a different issue that popped up last week. Nola had suffered a fracture right rib and has since been deemed to be out until at least mid-July, and after the All-Star break. Ahead of the Phillies' series against the Toronto Blue Jays, Nola spoke with reporters for the first time since his setback. There, he broke his silence on how he's feeling and where he stands in his recovery process. On Pattison on Twitter/X shared Nola's comments on his injury, setback, and how he's dealing with it going forward. "It definitely wasn't the news I was expecting," Nola said. "I felt it a little more than I had in my last bullpen... Just did an MRI, came back with a stress fracture. So it's just trying to do as much as I can with trainers to heal, and take time for it to heal." Advertisement Nola was then asked a follow-up question about whether he knew where his stress fracture originated, and if the bullpen session was a catalyst for the injury. "Honestly, I don't really know," Nola said. "I guess it just came from throwing. I'm not really sure how it comes about. I'm not really sure, I've never had a stress fracture in my rib before, this is really new to me." Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (27) walks off the field after the fifth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Curry-Imagn Images Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic also shared part of Nola's answer about his injury on Twitter/X. She provided more context on Nola's feelings amid the injury and his original ankle issue, which landed him on the injured list. Advertisement "Aaron Nola said he was told it was a stress fracture in his right rib," wrote Varnes. "Said he feels discomfort when breathing heavy or throwing. The initial injury that sent him to the IL, a right ankle sprain, is feeling better." While it's encouraging to hear the original right ankle issue is feeling better, the update from Nola on his fractured rib is an unfortunate setback amid his recovery. This update from Nola is a tough one for the Phillies. After he signed a massive $172 million deal in the offseason, Nola was expected to be a huge part of the rotation. But this injury and his 6.16 ERA start have made the contract look like a poor decision. While there is still plenty of time to rebound, Nola isn't expected back into the rotation anytime soon.

Former Texas A&M Aggie star pitcher dominates TinCaps in breakout start
Former Texas A&M Aggie star pitcher dominates TinCaps in breakout start Awesomeness from Aschenbeck 👏 He's our second consecutive starting pitcher to throw seven shutout innings! Still 5-0 Cubs headed to the eighth.#SBCubs — South Bend Cubs (@SBCubs) June 13, 2025 One year removed from Texas A&M baseball's historic College World Series run, powered in large part by closer Evan Aschenbeck. Aggies fans found themselves holding their breath after the 2024 MLB Draft. Aschenbeck sought an eligibility exemption based on his JUCO playing time at Blinn College, hoping for one more season in Aggieland. But with no response from the NCAA, the 2024 NCBWA Stopper of the Year signed a pro contract with the Chicago Cubs as the 392nd overall pick. Now pitching for the High-A South Bend Cubs, Aschenbeck has posted a 3-3 minor league record, but the left-hander is heating up. Over his last five outings, he's worked 32.1 innings with 25 strikeouts and a sharp 2.44 ERA. His latest performance against the Fort Wayne TinCaps was vintage Aschenbeck. He tossed seven scoreless innings and five strikeouts, showing he's finding his rhythm at the next level. Below you can see his strikeout to end the seventh inning.
