Deron Rippey reschedules visit with Kentucky Basketball
Now, the 5-star point guard has rescheduled his visit to Kentucky for October 3, according to Jacob Polacheck of KSR. It will be one of many visits Kentucky is set to host in the coming months.
The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Rippey plays for Blair Academy in New Jersey and is ranked as high as eighth overall in the class of 2026 by Rivals. 247 Sports has him 17th, while ESPN has him 18th.
Back in July, Rippey announced a list of 12 schools under consideration that included Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Duke, Louisville, Tennessee, Kansas, Indiana, Texas, Miami, North Carolina State, and Syracuse.
Of all the point guards Kentucky has recruited, Rippey may just end up being the best one. Let's see how much of an impact this visit makes on Rippey's recruitment.

Kyle Schwarber's 43rd homer sends Phillies to 6-2 win over Nats. Closer Duran injured in 9th
WASHINGTON (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit his 43rd homer, a tiebreaking, three-run shot in the seventh inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 6-2 on Friday night to snap a three-game skid. Bryce Harper followed Schwarber with a drive over the center-field fence, the sixth time this season the Phillies have homered back-to-back. Both ex-Nats were cheered by a pro-Philly crowd of 35,143, and Schwarber got 'M-V-P!' chants when he batted in the ninth. Phillies closer Jhoan Duran, pitching in a non-save situation in the ninth, took a sharp grounder off his right foot from Paul DeJong and came up limping. After a lengthy visit by trainers, he rode off the field in the Nationals' bullpen cart. After a solid start by Nationals ace MacKenzie Gore, the National League East-leading Phillies feasted on last-place Washington's inexperienced bullpen. Clayton Beeter (0-2) walked two batters in the seventh and gave way to Konnor Pilkington, who hung a 1-0 slider that Schwarber sent 456 feet into the right-field stands. Phillies ace Zack Wheeler was limited to five innings for the second consecutive start. He allowed two runs on four hits, including the third career homer by Nationals rookie Daylen Lile. Tanner Banks (4-2) pitched a scoreless sixth. Gore settled down after a rocky first inning that included an RBI double by Harper. He pumped his fist and yelled after he fanned Harrison Bader to end the sixth with the game tied at 2-all. Key moment Riley Adams led off the Nationals' fifth with a walk and the 263-pound catcher caught Wheeler by surprise by stealing his first base of the season. But Wheeler retired the next three batters to keep it tied. Key stat After pitching to a 13.12 ERA in four starts following his first All-Star appearance, Gore has a 1.50 ERA in his two most recent outings. Up next Veteran Phillies RHP Taijuan Walker (4-5, 3.39 ERA) opposes the Nationals' Cade Cavalli (0-0, 3.86), who will make his third start of the season, on Saturday. ___ AP MLB:

Orioles Brandon Young has a perfect game through 6 innings against the Astros
HOUSTON (AP) — Baltimore Orioles right-hander Brandon Young is working on a perfect game through six innings against the Houston Astros on Friday night. Young, who entered the game 0-6 with a 6.70 ERA through the first 10 starts of his MLB, has struck out four while throwing 62 pitches, 42 for strikes. The 26-year-old has faced just two three-ball counts to the 18 hitters he has faced. Baltimore leads Houston 3-0. There have been 24 perfect games in MLB history, the last was thrown by Domingo German of the New York Yankees on June 28, 2023, and the Orioles have never thrown one. Astros left fielder Taylor Trammell attempted to break up the perfect game with a bunt to start the sixth inning, but Johnson fielded the ball to the right of the mound and threw to first base for the out. The Astros had a perfect game thrown against them by Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants on June 13, 2012. ___ AP MLB:

Donegan advances to US Amateur semifinals to the delight of his large, vocal gallery
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Niall Shiels Donegan, the Scot who grew up in nearby Mill Valley, advanced to the U.S. Amateur semifinals Friday at The Olympic Club to the delight of his large, vocal gallery. Donegan — set for his first season at North Carolina after two years at Northwestern — outlasted Notre Dame junior Jacob Modleski with a par on the 19th hole in windy conditions. Donegan pulled even with a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th. Donegan will face rising Tennessee sophomore Jackson Herrington, a 4-and-2 winner over Jimmy Abdo of Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota. Herrington and Donegan were among the 17 players who advanced from a 20-man playoff Wednesday morning to determine the final 64 for match play. Donegan's father, Lawrence, was a longtime golf correspondent for The Guardian. In the other semifinal, Georgia teen Mason Howell will face Oklahoma State junior Eric Lee. They each won their matches 1 up, with the 18-year-old Howell beating John Daly II, and Lee edging 16-year-old Miles Russell of Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Howell qualified for the U.S. Open this year with rounds of 63-63 from the Atlanta sectional. Daly, a senior-to-be at Arkansas, is the son of two-time major champion John Daly. ___ AP golf:
