Former Notre Dame catcher Carson Tinney could land at Florida

Former Notre Dame catcher Carson Tinney could land at Florida Former star Notre Dame catcher Carson Tinney may soon have a new home. Per Baseball America's Jacob Rudner, Florida is in the mix for the former Fighting Irish backstop, who hit .348 with 17 home runs and 53 RBIs as a sophomore with the Fighting Irish. He is one of the more intriguing players currently in the transfer portal. This past season, the Gators used Luke Heyman and Brody Donay behind the plate. An injury to Heyman near the end of the year forced Donay to become the full-time catcher the rest of the way, but his defense was an issue. Could the Gators shift him to first base or designated hitter? UF did bring in JUCO catcher AJ Malzone, but landing Tinney would be a real coup. It helps the cause that the Gators landed former ND pitcher Ricky Reeth, whose pitches were caught by Tinney in South Bend this past season. Losing Tinney was a tough blow for the Irish. He was the team's best player and a centerpiece of Shawn Stiffler's rebuild in South Bend.

Jason Richardson shares how his son, Spartans star Jase Richardson spurned Alabama for MSU

Jason Richardson shares how his son, Spartans star Jase Richardson spurned Alabama for MSU A longstanding Michigan State basketball tradition was apparently a major factor in why Jase Richardson ended up as a Spartan instead of at Alabama. Jase Richardson and his dad Jason Richardson -- also a former Michigan State basketball star -- were on Podcast P with Paul George earlier this week, and Jason shared a fun story of how Jase ended up at Michigan State like his father. According to Jason, it appeared Alabama was the leader to land Jase's commitment but an upcoming visit to Michigan State was planned during the Spartans' annual "Grind Week" event -- which brings together former Michigan State players, current players and recruits for a weekend of festivities. Jason said during the interview that he told the Alabama coaching staff that if they let Jase visit Michigan State during "Grind Week" that he'd end up a Spartan. Alabama apparently tried to get Jase to shift his visit schedule knowing the magnitude of what Jason said, but it was too late. Jase went on his visit to Michigan State during "Grind Week" and the rest is now history. Check out the clip from podcast interview with both Jase and Jason below: Seeing this kind of connection between the Michigan State basketball players (former, current and potential future) is a really cool thing. "Grind Week" has always been a fun and impactful event for the program and this is just another use case where that occurred. Jase is projected to be a first round pick in the NBA Draft later this month. Jase is a fringe lottery pick after starring during his freshman season at Michigan State so it is safe to say he made the right choice in coming to Michigan State.
