Gavin Griffiths becomes first Nebraska basketball player to enter transfer portal
A Nebraska men's basketball forward has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Gavin Griffiths is the first Husker to enter their name into the portal this offseason.
The 6 foot 7 inch sophomore played in 16 games last season and averaged 2.1 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. This was Griffiths' first season at Nebraska after transferring from Rutgers. He was a four-star prospect and top-50 recruit coming out of high school.
Griffiths did not play during Nebraska's run at the College Basketball Crown Championship after dealing with a reported ankle injury. The forward is the team's first official departure since the portal opened.
The Huskers have also added a couple of players to the roster in the last several weeks. Those two players are Pryce Sandfort from the Iowa Hawkeyes and Ugnius Jarusevicius from Central Michigan.

Gopher women's soccer building off momentum from last season to find more success
The University of Minnesota Gopher women's soccer season kicks off on Thursday night at home against a Big 12 powerhouse: Brigham Young University. The Gophers are back at Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium in Falcon Heights for a new season with a lot in their favor. Head coach Erin Chastain is starting her fifth year with the team, signing a contract extension through 2028. "I love Minnesota. I played here. This is home for me, so I think the fact that our administration supports us and supports me really just makes my job easier when I come to work everyday," Chastain said. The Gophers are planning to build off of last season's success, making it to the NCAA Sweet 16 after an undefeated regular season at home. New captains Caroline Birdsell and Kate Childers say the standard set last year will carry over this fall. "No matter the score, we always came out first half, second half ready to win. And we knew we could win any game and we're definitely going to bring that this year because obviously it worked well last year," Birdsell said. "I think just some words that we like to live by are like 'relentless,' just in every game, every practice, workout, all of the above," Childers said. While this team has the benefit of a lot of momentum from last season's success, they also lost half of their roster from graduates and transfers — while gaining 13 new players. "I wouldn't consider that a bad thing. I think that we have enough returners where our core values and the team we are will not change," Birdsell said. "We also had a lot of younger players waiting in the wings and learning and competing, and so I think they're ready to show what they're capable of, so we're excited to see kind of their hard work pay off," Chastain said.

Big 12 becomes final Power Four conference to start issuing player availability reports
The Big 12 will release player availability reports for football and men's and women's basketball before all conference games, the conference announced Wednesday. Beginning this season, Big 12 football teams will submit daily injury and player availability reports starting three days before each conference game. Players will be designated as available, probable, questionable, doubtful or out. Men's and women's basketball teams will submit reports the night before conference games, listing players as either available, game-time decision or out. Final reports are due 90 minutes before the start of each game. The other Power Four conferences already issue availability reports. The Big Ten introduced the reports for football and men's and women's basketball in 2023. The Southeastern Conference followed suit in 2024, and the Atlantic Coast Conference began issuing the reports in July, including baseball on the list of participating sports. The moves by the conferences are intended in part to curtail harassment of athletes by bettors seeking information about injuries or availability. The Big 12 will release reports on the conference website. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college football: and
