Texas Tech pitcher NiJaree Canady signs new 7-figure softball NIL deal before College World Series Game 3
Pitcher NiJaree Canady signed her second seven-figure NIL deal with Texas Tech, keeping her on campus through her senior season. On Friday, Canady's manager, Derrick Shelby of Prestige Management, told ESPN about her new deal with Texas Tech's Matador Club collective. The Topeka, Kansas, native signed a historic deal in 2024 that included $1 million in direct payments and $50,000 for living expenses after transferring from Stanford. Advertisement The news comes just hours before the Red Raiders face the Texas Longhorns in a deciding Game 3 in the Women's College World Series Friday night. The details of her new deal were not disclosed. "Nija Canady is the most electrifying player in softball. She's box office and she goes out every day and competes," Shelby told ESPN. "The decision to stay at Tech was not difficult. This program has taken care of her. They have showed how much she is appreciated. The entire staff, her teammates, the school in general have been great. Tonight she is playing for a national championship and she is making history. Everything she wants from this game she can get here at Texas Tech." Canady is now in her third straight College World Series after leading Stanford to back-to-back appearances as a Cardinal. She posted a 0.97 ERA during the regular season, and has been a stalwart for the Red Raiders on the mound this WCWS. Advertisement Canady pitched 6 innings (4 hits, 2 earned runs, 7 strikeouts) in Texas Tech's 2-1 loss in Game 1 of the WCWS, and 7 innings (6 hits, 2 earned runs, 6 strikeouts) in Thursday's 4-3 Game 2 win to force Friday's clincher. A national title would be the crown jewel in Canady's decorated career, which includes several All-conference and All-American Honors. Canady also won the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year in 2024.

Should the Boston Celtics try to get Stanford big Maxime Raynaud in the 2025 NBA draft?
Should the Boston Celtics try to select Stanford big man Maxime Raynaud in the 2025 NBA draft? The 7-foot-1 center is a bit older than many prospects who are projected to go in the first round of the draft or near it, but for the purposes of a Celtics squad looking to get players capable of playing at least some time at the NAB level right out of the gate, that may actually be a bit of a plus. The 22-year-old is a solid rebounder and rim protector who can also hit a shot at a good rate from beyond the arc, and makes up for a shorter wingspan with his natural height and smart positioning on the court. Advertisement The hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk over the wisdom of drafting Raynaud.
