Tramon Mark makes decision regarding future with Texas Longhorns
Sean Miller and the Texas Longhorns are holding onto a key piece of their roster heading into the 2025-26 season. Guard Tramon Mark announced his return to the Forty Acres, providing a major boost to Miller's squad as the new head coach prepares for his first season in Austin.
Mark, who transferred from Arkansas following the 2023–24 season, brings experience and production to the Longhorns' backcourt. Over four years at Arkansas and Houston, he has played in 107 career games, including 69 starts, while amassing 1,200 points (11.2 ppg) and 424 rebounds (4.0 rpg) in 2,881 minutes (26.9 mpg).

Mark led Arkansas in scoring last season, averaging 16.2 points per game, while also leading the team in steals (36) and minutes (32.5 mpg). Before his time in Fayetteville, he was a key contributor for Houston, starting all 37 games in 2022–23 and helping the Cougars reach the NCAA Sweet 16. As a freshman, he appeared in all 32 games during Houston's run to the 2021 NCAA Final Four.
Mark started 25 games in his 29 appearances this season.

WATCH: Texans QB C.J. Stroud returns to practice, throwing during minicamp
WATCH: Texans QB C.J. Stroud returns to practice, throwing during minicamp Houston Texans fans can exhale a sigh of relief following the start of Tuesday's mandatory minicamp at the Methodist Training Center. Third-year Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud threw passes for the first time in almost a month during the opening of Tuesday's minicamp practice. He connected on several completions to Pro Bowl wide receiver Nico Collins and rookie Jayden Higgins that caught the eye of reporters in practice. Here's a look at several throws during the early stages of team drills. Stroud was kept from throwing during the Texans' OTA practices over the last two weeks because he was dealing with 'general soreness' in his throwing shoulder, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans. Both Ryans and first-year offensive coordinator Nick Caley said that they weren't concerned with Stroud missing reps and he'd be ready to go ahead of training camp. Stroud is in a pivotal year for the Texans after leading the franchise to back-to-back division titles. With a pair of losses in the divisional round, Houston spent the offeseason trying to revamp the offense and put the franchise quarterback in a better position to succeed. While Stroud didn't throw during team drills, the fact that he was throwing at practice in general is a promising sign. Houston could elevate his reps on Wednesday's practice to close out minicamp with the media. The Texans open the regular season on the road against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Sept. 7.

Why trading for a new coach isn't a reliable Knicks recipe
It has been a week since the Knicks fired their most successful coach of the century, ending Tom Thibodeau's five-year tenure after falling two wins short of the NBA Finals. The Knicks appear to be in no great rush to fill the league's only head coaching vacancy, with time to explore the potential of trading for seemingly unavailable candidates, including Houston's Ime Udoka, Minnesota's Chris Finch and, most seriously, Dallas' Jason Kidd, all of whom the Knicks reportedly have interest in. Trading for a coach is rare for many reasons, beginning with the cooperation of one team to allow another team to poach a successful coach under contract. Houston reportedly has 'no interest' in letting Udoka leave. The interest between the Knicks and Kidd is mutual, but that's not the same as getting permission for an interview.

'Get onboard or get rolled over' watch 2026 4-star WR announce his recruitment shutdown
On Saturday, Texas A&M made significant progress with two of the program's 12 commitments in the 2026 recruiting class, as four-star running back Jonathan Hatton and four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory re-affirmed their commitments with the program, and officially shut down their recruiting, which is beyond big news for the future of the program. Both players are considered elite in their respective positions. At the same time, Gregory's rise this offseason, evident in several camp appearances, resulted in the Texas Longhorns making a late push. Still, thanks to the work from Texas A&M assistant coaches, including running back coach Trooper Taylor and wide receiver coach Holmon Wiggins, one of the top playmakers in the high school ranks has found his future home in College Station. Advertisement What has become a trend with almost every high-profile 2026 visitor this weekend, Gregory and Texas A&M's social media team put together one of the coolest videos detailing his official visit, revealing that he will not take any future visits outside of Texas A&M. On the field, Gregory is one of the twitchier athletes who possesses the speed to burn corners in man coverage. At the same time, his elite athleticism and quick footwork make him a candidate for early playing time as soon as his 2026 freshman season. Combined with Jonathan Hatton and four-star cornerback Victor Singelton, Gregory is the highest-rated prospect in Texas A&M's 2026 cycle. He will continue to rise heading into his final senior season in Georgia. Advertisement According to 247Sports Composite, Gregory is the 66th-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 8th-ranked wide receiver, and the 7th-ranked prospect in Georgia.
