Clemson makes another huge recruiting splash landing 4-star OL Leo Delaney
Clemson continues to build one of the nation's top offensive line classes for 2026, this time landing a major commitment from four-star lineman Leo Delaney.
According to multiple sources, Delaney has pledged to the Tigers over offers from Michigan and Penn State. The 6-foot-6, 290-pound standout from Providence Day School in Charlotte had originally planned to commit on July 11 but decided to announce early after his recent official visit to Clemson.
Delaney's commitment marks the fifth offensive lineman to join the Tigers in this cycle, following fellow four-stars Braden Wilmes, Adam Guthrie, Grant Wise, and Chance Barclay. Clemson's revamped approach to recruiting in the trenches has paid off in a big way, and much of that credit goes to offensive line coach Matt Luke. Since his arrival, Luke has proven to be one of the most impactful hires Clemson could have made, quickly turning the offensive line into a true recruiting strength.
Delaney is ranked No. 62 nationally, the No. 5 interior lineman, and the No. 5 player in North Carolina by 247Sports. With 16 total commits, Clemson's 2026 class now ranks among the top five in the nation — and their momentum up front continues to build.

Former SEC star thinks Oklahoma will be ready for Michigan game
Former SEC star thinks Oklahoma will be ready for Michigan game The Oklahoma Sooners face a very daunting schedule in 2025. Aside from their grueling eight-game SEC schedule, OU has one of their premier nonconference games of the entire college football season in Week 2. The Sooners will be hosting the Michigan Wolverines in a battle of blue-blood programs representing the two best conferences in the sport, the SEC and the Big Ten. That game takes place on September 6th. David Pollack, a former college football analyst for "ESPN College GameDay", believes that the Sooners, who likely won't be favored in that matchup, will be ready for the Wolverines when the time comes. "That Oklahoma game versus Michigan, if you think that's an easy game to pick, I would disagree," Pollack said. "I think it's a "pick-em" at worst and I might even lean Oklahoma because of what they have continuity-wise. I think Oklahoma is going to come in with more continuity with quarterback and play-caller. Oklahoma has the best defensive line in the SEC. Like, I know that for a fact, like I've watched those guys. Inside, if you want to run the football against those defensive tackles, they are a handful. Oklahoma, I think, is going to be one of the most improved teams in the country, period. When you get John Mateer and you get Ben Arbuckle together, Jaydn Ott at running back, if anybody watched OU's defense last year, you had a lot to like." This matchup also features two head coaches who will be looking for a signature win for their respective careers and a statement opportunity for their respective teams. Aside from Texas in 2023 and Alabama in 2024, Brent Venables is short on statement wins as the head coach of the Sooners. Two 6-7 seasons in three years have his seat hot entering 2025. Sherrone Moore is an OU alum who played for the Sooners during the Bob Stoops era. His Michigan team finished strong a year ago, but fell plenty of rungs in a Big Ten conference that they won for three straight seasons in Moore's first year. With all of the offseason changes the Sooners have made since last year ended, Oklahoma looks to be in a better position to make more statements in a positive way in 2025.

A glimpse into the secrets of the Tigers' Comerica Park ‘smart cage'
DETROIT — Last June, construction workers at Comerica Park were busy during a Tigers road trip. The team was gone for six games. When the club returned, there was a new set of stairs at the far end of the dugout. The stairs lead to a nondescript green door. Almost a mysterious entry point. But like all things with the Tigers these days, there was a specific, targeted purpose. The stairs and the door lead to Detroit's so-called smart cage, a project completed midway through last season as part of the team's multiyear overhaul of the home clubhouse. Advertisement Baseball produces endless numbers and scenarios. Sometimes they make sense. Sometimes they seem inexplicable. Here is one such example: Last season, Tigers utility man Zach McKinstry got only four hits in 30 at-bats against left-handed pitchers. That's a .133 average. This season, McKinstry has 53 at-bats against lefties. He is hitting .358. In home games at Comerica Park, McKinstry has an otherworldly 1.250 OPS in left-on-left plate appearances. How do you explain that? Part of it could be opportunity. Part of it could be McKinstry's approach. Part of it could be the offseason sessions with a pitching machine to replicate lefty spin. But especially here during the season, at least a small part of the answer could lie beyond that green door. New staircase/room in Tigers' dugout that didn't exist in the last homestand. — Evan Woodbery (@evanwoodbery) June 21, 2024 The centerpiece of the Tigers' smart cage is the Trajekt Arc pitching machine. This technology is now used by at least 25 MLB teams. The machine, the brainchild of CEO Joshua Pope, projects an image of a pitcher's delivery and can spit out a replication of a pitcher's full arsenal, mimicking the near-exact release point, spin rate and movement of the pitch. The machines generally cost $15,000 to $20,000 a month as part of a three-year lease. McKinstry is one of the team's most avid users, known to exaggerate or condense his open stance against lefties depending on how he's feeling any given day. 'It think it helps with my timing, just making sure I'm on time with those guys,' McKinstry said. 'It helps with pitch recognition. You get to see the pitch shape before you actually have to face the guy.' For those in the deepest baseball circles, these machines are not new. McKinstry began using one when he was with the Chicago Cubs in 2022. But the machines were finally approved for in-game use before last season, hence the Tigers' construction plans for providing quicker in-game access to the cage. The way the Tigers and other teams use these machines peels back a layer to show how hitters are trying to catch up with the wicked pitching forces that rule today's game. Advertisement Justyn-Henry Malloy, who was optioned to Triple A earlier this week, is known to use the Trajekt daily. Before games. During games. You name it. Malloy hit only .215 in 93 mostly sporadic at-bats this season, but he also came through in several big moments, most notably his May 14 pinch-hit, walk-off single against the Red Sox. With the Trajekt, players can punch in Statcast data for the day's starting pitcher and look at his whole arsenal. Some players do not even take full swings, instead simply tracking and gaining a visual for where, say, a pitcher's slider begins and ends. Others, like Malloy and Andy Ibáñez, hit against the machine as much as they can. During games when Malloy was on the bench, he would retreat to the cage in the middle innings, often simulating at-bats against the opposing team's left-handed relievers. Like many teams, the Tigers load the machine with softer baseballs. This limits the potential for stinging hands, injuries if a ball is fouled off the foot or even broken bats. 'A lot of guys use it just to see the motion, see how a guy's delivery feels out of the stretch,' Malloy said. 'Some guys might have a really funky release. If we're facing a Joe Ryan, guys will want to just be in there because they want to see what that low release looks like from his motion.' There is not necessarily a direct correlation between access to the machine and the Tigers' success at home. The Tigers are 21-8 at Comerica Park but entered Thursday with a higher team OPS on the road (.741 vs. .723). The surface numbers also don't indicate any clear advantage that correlates to the Tigers' propensity for pinch-hitting. Detroit pinch-hitters have a .609 OPS in home games, ranking 17th in the league. It's also worth noting that not all hitters are fans of the machine. Riley Greene said he rarely uses it. Kerry Carpenter steps in against the Trajekt only to see a pitcher he's never faced before. Advertisement 'It's like the guy on the screen is right there, and then he does his windup, and the release is over here,' Carpenter said. 'It's just coming out of a black hole. It's a little weird for me. But some people love it.' Colt Keith, the Tigers' second-year infielder, said he uses the Trajekt every day, standing back and observing pitches for the digital version of the opposing starter. There are specific instances where it can be beneficial, too, like seeing how Guardians reliever Cade Smith's low-spin splitter differs from other splitters around the league. 'It really is different from the game, in my opinion,' Keith said. 'But I like to watch from behind and see the different pitches, the movement. You can still see how his motion is coming out, and you can see a slider, where it goes, does it pop?' Keith is among the players who have benefited from another aspect of the Tigers' smart cage: Force plates. For years, teams have put force plates underneath turf in cages or mounds to measure how players distribute their weight and generate force. The Tigers have had access to such technology since at least 2019. But the technology is still evolving, and so is the way teams apply the data. In simple terms, the plates measure the amount, direction and timing of force hitters put into the ground. That data can explain how hitters transition through their load, stride and swing. This data can help hitters better harness their kinetic chains and unlock greater power or exit velocity. So when Keith was slumping early in the season, he went to the force plates to better understand what was plaguing his swing. After a brutal April, Keith had an .838 OPS in May. 'I went on them to see how much force I was putting out compared to last year,' Keith said. 'It was a little bit lower. So we're trying some things out. I don't think that was a direct solution, but it definitely got us on the right path.' Perhaps just as important as helping iron out a slump, hitters can record their swings on the force plates to create a reference to turn to whenever things are out of whack. They can even compare their swings to others who have stepped on the plates. The Tigers still have a template for Miguel Cabrera's swing. Advertisement 'There's a baseline for good hitters and what they do,' Keith said. 'So you compare yours to them.' The Tigers have an expanded smart cage at their Lakeland spring training facility. There is now a Trajekt machine at Triple-A Toledo. Like most other teams, the Tigers are expanding and optimizing the ways they use technology and data points. 'Here at home, it's nice because you can develop a routine, you can get some visuals, get your normal routine in,' manager A.J. Hinch said. 'The big trick is it's not mobile so you can't do it on the road.' When the Tigers hosted a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants last week, for example, the Trajekt provided a way for hitters to get glimpses at pitchers they may have never seen before. It even exposed one limitation of the Trajekt: It can't fully replicate the delivery of Giants right-hander Tyler Rogers, the submariner whose hand nearly touches the ground as he throws. 'It's hard to get visuals for everybody,' Hinch said. 'But I like that our players are openly talking about their routines being impacted by the expansion and improvements.' Across Major League Baseball, none of this is revolutionary. But consider it a rare glimpse into the Tigers' process behind that green door. And another window that shows how hitters are punching upward in attempt to counter the nastiest pitchers in the league. 'I think it gives us a little more fighting power against pitchers who got a lot of horsepower,' Malloy said. 'I think it's a really nice tool for us to be able to get our work in.'

Former Steeler Ryan Clark blasts Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh as 'worst case scenario'
Former Steeler Ryan Clark blasts Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh as 'worst case scenario' Not everyone is thrilled about Aaron Rodgers heading to Pittsburgh — just ask former Steelers safety Ryan Clark. Clark, an outspoken critic of Rodgers, was asked on ESPN what the dynamic between HC Mike Tomlin and the four-time MVP would be in Pittsburgh — and this was his response: "This is the worst-case scenario for Pittsburgh Steelers fans. It continues to keep you mired in mediocrity. Will this team be better? Have they gotten better in the quarterback room? Absolutely. Will they contend for that championship that Pittsburgh Steelers' people, fans, and the organization thinks is the standard? No, they won't," Clark stated. "Five years from when both of these men retire, one of them will give the most motivational Hall of Fame speech we've ever heard. Another will probably give the most interesting — and it won't mean anything." Yikes. This isn't the first time Clark has taken aim at the future Hall of Fame QB. Last December, the former Steeler called Rodgers a "fraud" for his criticism directed at former players working at ESPN. Will Rodgers win Clark over with a dominant performance in Pittsburgh — or does the bad blood run deeper than anything football could fix?
