It would be a massive surprise if Brown backs off his Ohio State pledge for so many reasons. The 2027 five-star receiver is from Huber Heights (Ohio) Wayne. He loves position coach Brian Hartline. Brown loves how the Buckeyes have developed so many receivers and have such a great history at the position.
But Tennessee is sending mail to Brown every day and the coaching staff is working hard to not only stay involved in his recruitment but to flip him at some point as well. Others will make a move because Brown is so talented but if Hartline stays in Columbus then Brown probably stays committed.

As programs work to finalize their quarterback situation, there are a lot of moving parts and Cherry is being contacted by some big guns.
The four-star quarterback from Chattanooga (Tenn.) Baylor School has been committed to Louisville since January but when LSU missed on Bowe Bentley, the Tigers reached out and gauged interest with Cherry. Auburn has also been in the mix as the Tigers figure out the situation with Landon Duckworth (who has Auburn and South Carolina as his two favorites) so Cherry could have some options moving forward and the word is he's listening.

The four-star cornerback from Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin has been committed to Michigan since last July but Jennings has been taking visits and seeing what else is out there especially through June.
The word coming out of Rivals Five-Star is that Miami would be the biggest threat to flip Jennings if he's looking to stay closer to home. Even through all his visits, Jennings hasn't backed off his pledge yet and while Florida, Georgia and others could be in the mix, the Hurricanes would be the one to watch.

It's no secret that while Sneed has stayed committed to Tennessee, the four-star tight end from Nashville (Tenn.) Donelson Christian Academy has heavily considered other programs.
Ole Miss and North Carolina will be two to monitor but the biggest threat to the Volunteers would be Florida. Sneed loved his visit to Gainesville and the plan coach Billy Napier laid out for the four-star tight end as there's some concern that Tennessee doesn't throw to its tight ends enough.

Tofi committed to Cal in early June and it was a big win for the Golden Bears since Oregon was the biggest threat throughout his recruitment. There are reasons to believe the four-star offensive tackle from San Francisco (Calif.) Riordan sticks with Cal as well since he loves the Polynesian culture on the coaching staff and his brother plays in Berkeley, too.
But only a couple weeks after his pledge to Cal, Tofi took a visit to Oregon as the Ducks have not backed down. He also showed up to Rivals Five-Star wearing an Oregon t-shirt and said over the next few weeks he plans to make a final decision in his recruitment so the Ducks are clearly a threat.

Jacob deGrom loses no-hit bid in 8th, leads Rangers over Orioles 7-0
BALTIMORE (AP) — Jacob deGrom held Baltimore hitless until Colton Cowser's leadoff single in the eighth inning, leading the Texas Rangers over the Orioles 7-0 on Wednesday night. The right-hander, who turned 37 on June 19, retired his first 18 batters before walking Jackson Holliday on a high and outside full count slider. He walked Ryan O'Hearn with two outs in the seventh, throwing four straight balls after getting ahead 0-2 in the count. Cowser grounded a single to right on a 1-1 fastball. DeGrom (8-2) won his fourth straight decision, striking out seven and walking two. A two-time Cy Young Award winner and four-time All-Star, he started 20 of 24 hitters with strikes and threw 59 of 89 pitches for strikes, averaging 98.4 mph with his fastball. DeGrom has four complete games in 234 starts, pitching a one-hitter for the New York Mets against Philadelphia on July 17, 2016, when pitcher Zach Elfin hit a third-inning single. Jacob Webb and Cole Winn each got three straight outs as Baltimore was held to one hit for the third time this season and shut out for the eighth time. The Orioles have lost four of their last five. Josh Jung had three RBIs with an run-scoring single in the second and a two-run homer in the fourth off Brandon Young (0-2), helping Texas win its fourth straight road series. Corey Seager and Marcus Semien hit run-scoring singles in a three-run fourth that included Adolis García's sacrifice fly. Jonah Heim added a sixth-inning homer against Scott Blewett. Left-hander Jacob Latz held the Orioles hitless Tuesday until Ramón Laureano's leadoff single in the seventh. The Yankees' Clarke Schmidt pitched seven hitless innings against Baltimore on Saturday, and Gary Sánchez started the eighth with a single off reliever JT Brubaker. Key moment Cowser's single was perfectly placed between Holliday at second and O'Hearn at first. Key stat Texas has won 11 of deGrom's 16 starts. Up next Rangers: RHP Nathan Eovaldi (4-3, 1.56) starts a homestand opener against Seattle on Friday. Orioles: RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (5-4, 3.55) starts Friday night's series opener against Tampa Bay. ___ AP MLB:

Technically, Rockets draft Duke center Khaman Maluach (who will be traded to Suns)
Technically, the Rockets drafted Duke center Khaman Maluach at No. 10 overall in the 2025 first round. He will be traded to Phoenix in early July as part of the Kevin Durant deal. Technically, Houston selected Duke center Khaman Maluach with the No. 10 overall selection in Wednesday's first round of the 2025 NBA draft. He then donned a Rockets hat. The key word, of course, is technically. Houston's No. 10 pick was sent to Phoenix earlier this week as part of the trade package to acquire All-Star forward Kevin Durant. So, the Rockets picked on behalf of the Suns. Similarly, the Rockets will pick on behalf of Phoenix at No. 59 overall in Thursday's second round. But because the Rockets-Suns deal needs to include the elevated 2025-26 salary of Jalen Green, the trade needs to wait until July to be made official. July is when the league's next fiscal year will start. Later in the first round, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver confirmed that Maluach would be dealt from the Rockets to Phoenix as part of a trade 'to be finalized later.' It's not a secret as to what trade that was in reference to. So, as with Rudy Gay and others from back in the day, Maluach was technically drafted by the Rockets, and Houston will officially be part of his NBA career story. He will then be officially traded in early July and likely play for the Suns at the upcoming 2025 summer league in Las Vegas.
