LSU football quarterback target earns Elite 11 invite
LSU football's top quarterback target, Bowe Bentley, was invited to the Elite 11 finals. The field was rolled out earlier this week, with the Texas product making the cut.
Bentley remains uncommitted, but his recruitment is down to LSU and Oklahoma. According to the On3 Industry Ranking, Bentley is the No. 7 ranked QB in the class and the No. 76 overall prospect. Bentley took off in the last year after 2024 was his first time in the starting role for his high school squad.
LSU's 2026 recruiting class ranks No. 2 in the nation, but the Tigers want to add a QB. Bentley is the most likely option with most elite quarterbacks already off the board. However, the On3 Prediction Machine tabs Oklahoma as the favorite to land Bentley's services.
LSU and Oklahoma are the only two official visits Bentley has on the calendar this summer. LSU missed on its top QB target last year with Bryce Underwood flipping to Michigan. LSU and staff look to avoid that fate this cycle.
What is the Elite 11?
The Elite 11 describes itself as, "The nation's premier quarterback camp series and competition."
Quarterbacks from around the country compete at regional camps throughout the year. The top talents are invited to the Elite 11 Finals, a three-day event hosted annually every summer. Twenty QBs earn a finals invitation. At the end of the week, the top 11 passers are named the "Elite 11."
The event also crowns an Elite 11 MVP.
The last LSU QB to participate in the finals was Colin Hurley in 2023. Hurley's week was strong enough to be named an Elite 11 finalist.

Texas beats Texas Tech 10-4 in decisive 3rd game of WCWS to win its 1st national championship
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Mia Scott hit a grand slam, Teagan Kavan claimed another win and Texas defeated Texas Tech 10-4 in Game 3 of the Women's College World Series championship series on Friday night to win its first national title. Kavan, a sophomore, allowed no earned runs in all 31 2/3 innings she pitched at the World Series. She went 4-0 with a save in the World Series for the Longhorns (56-12). Texas Tech star pitcher NiJaree Canady, who had thrown every pitch for the Red Raiders through their first five World Series games, was pulled after one inning in Game 3. She gave up five runs on five hits and only threw 25 pitches. Not even support from former Texas Tech football star Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, who were in attendance, could put the Red Raiders (54-14) over the top. Texas had lost to Oklahoma in the championship series two of the previous three years. Oklahoma was one of the teams Texas beat on its way to the championship. ___ AP sports:

OKLAHOMA CITY — The NBA's talks with FIBA and other entities about the process of adding a new league in Europe are continuing, Commissioner Adam Silver said, though he noted that it may take at least a couple more years to turn the ideas into reality. Silver spoke at a league event to unveil a refurbished Boys & Girls Club in Oklahoma City on Friday — an off day for the NBA Finals — and said it's difficult to put a specific timeline on the Europe plans.
