Michigan State hockey transfer finds new home in the ACHA
In his one season with the Spartans, Nelson unfortunately never touched the ice, and was a healthy scratch that earned a redshirt. After the conclusion of the season, Nelson decided to transfer from the program. Now, he has found his new home.
The former Spartan will be transferring down a couple of levels and playing ACHA (D2) hockey. Nelson will be joining Oklahoma State and their club hockey program for the upcoming season.
A Duluth (MN) native, Nelson spent two years in Oklahoma with the Warriors NAHL franchise, making his return to the state make sense:

Watch new MSU PG Divine Ugochukwu hit game-winner in Moneyball Pro-A
New Spartans point guard Divine Ugochukwu made a game-winning play on Tuesday in the Moneyball Pro-Am event. In a tie game with only three seconds left, Ugochukwu drove to the hoop and hit a game-winning and-one basket to send his squad to the semifinals of Moneyball Pro-Am. It was quite the play by Ugochukwu and should excite Spartans for another potential threat to make a big-play late in a critical moment of a game. Check out the highlight play below -- courtesy of Ben Shockley of WILX in Lansing: Ugochukwu transferred to Michigan State this offseason after playing one year with the Miami (FL) Hurricanes. He played big-time minutes as true freshman this past season and is expected to serve as a key reserve off the bench this upcoming season with the Spartans. Moneyball Pro-Am is getting close to wrapping up with this being the final week of games. Hopefully, Thursday night will include some more fun moments like Ugochukwu's game-winner on Tuesday.

Former Iowa women's basketball player lands first coaching job
Following a four-year career mostly in a reserve role for the Iowa women's basketball program, former Hawkeyes forward/center AJ Ediger is now listed as a graduate assistant coach for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UW-Milwaukee) Panthers women's basketball squad. The 6-foot-2, native of Hudsonville, Michigan played a total of 68 games for the Hawkeyes from 2021 to 2025, where she averaged just 1.7 points on 57.6% from the floor and 65.5% from the free-throw line to go along with 1.0 rebounds, 0.2 assists, 0.1 steals in 3:49 of action per game. Ediger would also finish her Hawkeyes career with three blocks. While Ediger came in off the bench mainly when the results of games were essentially determined, the graduate assistant role in Milwaukee will provide her with valuable skills that she could use to advance herself in the field of coaching, if that is what she desires. Regardless of her future endeavors beyond this upcoming season, Ediger is another example of a former Hawkeye taking their love for the game of basketball to the next level.

Matthew Berry's Overall Top 200 for 2025 fantasy football season
With proven mobility on the ground and an improved offensive line in place, Caleb Williams is firmly on the radar as a contender for Matthew Berry's 2025 'Ride or Die' pick. With NFL training camps now in full swing and preseason just around the corner, here are my Top 200 overall players for the 2025 fantasy football season. While these rankings are obviously adaptable, they are intended for 1 QB redraft leagues with full PPR scoring. This big board should also always be used in conjunction with my positional rankings, which you can find here (link). Early on in drafts it's easy to simply take the best player available, but as you get into the later rounds, you're going to need to balance your roster and prioritize individual positions. And remember, you know your league better than I do, so adjust as needed. My rankings tend to skew WR heavy, but if your league loves to draft RBs early, you need to account for that. It doesn't make sense to start your team with Nico Collins and Brian Thomas Jr. if you think the best player available for the next five rounds will also be a WR. You're better off taking Derrick Henry or De'Von Achane with at least one of those picks and scooping up the WR value later. Similarly, I tend to be very high on rookies – it's the easiest way to find upside late in drafts. But if you're in a league that is more cautious with rookies, understand that you can likely get Tre Harris and Jayden Higgins a lot later than I have them ranked. I'll continue to adjust these rankings throughout August as news comes out and depth charts change so make sure to check back for the latest updates. And as always, please let me know what you think of the rankings – what you agree with, what you don't – on social media where I am @MatthewBerryTMR on all platforms (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky) except the Bleacher Nation Fantasy App where I am merely @MatthewBerry. I'm sure you have opinions on who is too high and who is too low, so hit me up! Matthew Berry's Top 200 Overall Rankings
