Notre Dame forward Tae Davis entering transfer portal for second time
Notre Dame forward Tae Davis entering transfer portal for second time
Even with the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament going on, Notre Dame forward Tae Davis has made his feelings about his basketball future known. It won't be with the Irish as reports from ESPN and On3 indicate that he will enter the transfer portal. This will be his second time going through it after coming to the Irish from Seton Hall before the 2023-24 season.
This is a tough loss for the Irish as Davis was second on the team in both scoring (15.1) and rebounds (5.3) as well as third in assists (1.8) during this past season. His scoring average in particular jumped by nearly six points a game from the previous season. He also averaged a career-high 30.8 minutes a game.
It's hard to know exactly what prompted Davis to make this decision, but the Irish might have to rely on their incoming recruiting class more than they might have expected now to try and make up his production:
The offseason truly has begun for the Irish. We soon will see how they respond to this.

Georgia Tech Football's CFP Odds Leaves Fans in Disbelief
Georgia Tech Football's CFP Odds Leaves Fans in Disbelief originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Could 2025 be the year Georgia Tech flips the national script? After two consecutive seven-win seasons and a wave of recruiting and portal momentum, ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) is taking notice. According to the latest projections, the Yellow Jackets have the fifth-best odds in the ACC to reach the College Football Playoff, a significant nod to Brent Key's steady rebuild in Atlanta. Advertisement Let that sink in. A program once written off as a rebuilding project is now in the same postseason conversation as Clemson and Miami. ESPN's FPI currently gives Georgia Tech a 9.8% chance to make the playoff, behind Clemson (47.3%), Miami (46.3%), SMU (21.1%), and Virginia Tech (12.5%). The Jackets rank No. 28 overall, ahead of several Power 5 stalwarts like Florida State, UNC, and NC State. So what's changed? Since taking over the helm in 2022, Brent Key has not only stabilized a program in flux but has created an identity rooted in physical play, discipline, and player development. Georgia Tech has pulled off multiple wins over ranked teams under Key's watch, signaling they're more than capable of punching above their weight. Advertisement The 2025 schedule is favorable, if navigated wisely. Tech faces only two top-25 teams by FPI standards, No. 11 Clemson and No. 2 Georgia. Crucially, only Clemson is a conference game. The rest of the ACC slate includes matchups with Duke, Wake Forest, and Syracuse, all ranked outside the FPI top 50. Tech avoids SMU, Miami, and Virginia Tech, which should make this task much easier. If Tech handles business against mid-tier opponents and snags an upset against Clemson or Georgia, a 10-win season isn't just possible, it could be probable. Georgia Tech's improved recruiting rankings and portal pickups reflect a clear upward trajectory in talent acquisition. With a stable offensive staff, returning quarterback Haynes King, and a much improved defense, there's reason to believe the Jackets are entering the 2025 season with their most balanced roster in years. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets quarterback Haynes King (10). Brett Davis-Imagn Images In a shifting ACC landscape, Georgia Tech has something many programs lack: momentum. ESPN's analytics aren't making emotional predictions, they're crunching data and seeing what many around the conference are beginning to feel: Georgia Tech isn't just building, they're ready to strike. Advertisement Can the Yellow Jackets make the College Football Playoff? The odds might still be long, but if Tech fans are looking for hope grounded in data, this is it. FPI says there's a shot, and for a program that's battled its way back into the national conversation, that's a headline worth buzzing about.

Lincoln Riley Has Awkward Response About Potential Discontinuation of Iconic Rivalry
Lincoln Riley Has Awkward Response About Potential Discontinuation of Iconic Rivalry originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The USC Trojans and Notre Dame Fighting Irish have had one of the longest-standing traditions in college football with them matching up every year since 1926, besides years in World War II and COVID. Advertisement Now, one of the biggest rivalries in college football may not be playing in 2026, as there has not been a scheduled meeting between the two prestigious schools. Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley was asked about the situation, and his response was awkward given how big of a rivalry this is. "We will (comment) at the appropriate time," said Riley when asked if he wanted to speak on the matter. Southern California Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley.© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images One of the biggest topics of conversations in the offseason of this college football season has been the potential discontinuation of this rivalry, and practically a 'no comment' response from Riley has fans confused. Advertisement Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman had a great reaction, and has said he wants to play against USC every year due to how good the rivalry is for college football. "That rivalry, USC-Notre Dame, before I even got to Notre Dame, everybody watched that game. Everyone remembers moments from that game that just stick out in my mind," said Freeman. Riley has been under serious scrutiny recently, and a caller on "The Paul Finebaum Show" asked if the Trojans could regain their college football dominance, to which he had a harsh response. "I do believe USC is capable because there is so much to offer there. They just happen to have a fraud as their head coach," said Finebaum. Advertisement The Trojans head coach will have every ability to prove Finebaum wrong as he has the No. 1 recruiting class in the country in 2026. All that is left for that season is what will happen to one of the best rivalries in all of sports.
