Former Clemson star PJ Hall gets another shot in the NBA with the Charlotte Hornets
PJ Hall is getting another shot in the NBA Summer League, this time closer to home. After being released by the Denver Nuggets, Hall has signed on to play with the Charlotte Hornets this summer. The former Clemson star spent this past season with Denver on a two-way deal, appearing in 19 games for the Nuggets while also logging time with their G League affiliate. In limited NBA action, the 6-foot-10, 245-pound forward averaged 1.7 points and 1.2 rebounds in just under four minutes per game, connecting on 58% of his field goal attempts. Hall showed more of his offensive game in the G League, where he put up 19.2 points and 12.5 rebounds per contest across 13 appearances for the Grand Rapids Gold. Hall, who went undrafted in 2024, originally joined Denver to reunite with another Clemson product, Hunter Tyson. Tyson was drafted in the second round in 2023 and traded to the Nuggets organization, giving Clemson fans two familiar faces to watch at the pro level. During his time at Clemson, Hall developed into one of the program's all-time standouts. He was named first-team All-ACC in his final season, pouring in 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game on his way to AP All-America honorable mention honors. He finished with 1,702 career points, putting him in the top 10 in Clemson scoring history, and his 659 points last season set a new single-season program record. Now, Hall will look to build on that college legacy and strong G League production as he tries to earn a spot with the Hornets ahead of next season.

Alabama Flips 4-Star QB From Big 12 Powerhouse
Alabama Flips 4-Star QB From Big 12 Powerhouse originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide have their Class of 2026 quarterback. Jett Thomalla changed his mind on Tuesday, ditching Matt Campbell and the Iowa State Cyclones. Advertisement 'BREAKING: Four-Star QB Jett Thomalla has Flipped his Commitment from Iowa State to Alabama, he tells me for @on3recruits,' On3's Hayes Fawcett wrote on X. 'The 6'4 210 QB from Omaha, NE had been Committed to the Cyclones since April. 'All glory to God, Roll tide!!' Thomalla is listed as the No. 16 overall passer in his class according to 247Sports' composite rankings. He's the top-rated prospect in Nebraska. 'Decorated prep signal caller with some peaks and valleys on the game tape, but one that has a chance to emerge as a winner on Saturdays,' 247Sports director of scouting Andrew Ivins said of Thomalla in an April scouting report. 'More than capable of extending plays and creating opportunities when the pocket breaks down as he climbs away from pressure and keeps his eyes down field. Millard South quarterback Jett Thomalla (4)Patrick Breen/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK 'Projects as a potential multi-year starter at the Power Four level. Likely to need a developmental year or two, but hard not to get excited about the size, velocity and resume.' Advertisement Thomalla was named MaxPreps' 2024 Nebraska Player of the Year. He led Millard South to a 12-1 record and Class A title, setting the state classification record in passing yards (3,663 yards), touchdown passes (47), and completions (250). Ryder Lyons (No. 5 passer in 247Sports' rankings), Landon Duckworth (No. 6), Bowe Bentley (No. 10), and Oscar Rios (No. 12) are other highly-touted signal-callers in Thomalla's class who have yet to sign.

Nation's No. 2 WR Commits to Alabama
Nation's No. 2 WR Commits to Alabama originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide added another jewel to their 2026 recruiting class on Wednesday. They didn't even have to leave the state to do so. Cederian Morgan, the No. 2 wideout in his class — according to 247Sports — and the top player in Alabama — chose to join Ryan Williams in Tuscaloosa. Advertisement The Auburn Tigers, Florida Gators, Colorado Buffaloes, Georgia Bulldogs and Clemson Tigers were also in play for Morgan, who picked Alabama live on the 247Sports YouTube channel and CBS Sports HQ. "Evaluation echoes that of a luxury sports car: big, smooth, and powerful," 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks wrote in a May scouting report. "Plays with obvious horsepower, accompanied by some encouraging physical refinement and nuance in regards to fluidity and locomotion. ... Size and track speed suggests that another top-end gear in pads exists, and therefore consistent downfield separation ability." Alexander City (Ala.) Benjamin Russell Wide Receiver Cederian MorganBrian Smith-Auburn Daily Morgan finished his junior season on the gridiron at Benjamin Russell High School with 70 receptions for 1,162 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also competes in the high jump and 100- and 200-meter dashes on the track. Advertisement Morgan joins three On3 five-stars in the Crimson Tide's stacked haul — cornerback Jorden Edmonds, linebacker Xavier Griffin and running back Ezavier Crowell. Prior to Morgan's pledge, DeBoer's class ranked No. 7 in the country for 2026. SEC foes Georgia (No. 2) and Texas A&M (No. 4) were listed ahead of it, per 247Sports. Morgan joins recent receiver commits Brian Williams and Owen Cabell, both three-star prospects. Four-star quarterback Jett Thomalla, an Iowa State flip, is also part of the package.
