A big topic everybody looks for is ratings. The masses want to know what their favorite player's 2K rating is in the game and the official Twitter account released the top 10 rated rookies in the game with Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe getting some love.
The rookie guard for the Sixers received a rating of 76 and ranks fourth among the top rookies. Of course, Cooper Flagg of the Dallas Mavericks has the top spot followed by Dylan Harper of the San Antonio Spurs and then Ace Bailey of the Utah Jazz before Edgecombe.

Could Notre Dame be finding another way to get the ball to star RB Jeremiyah Love?
After today's media session, it looks very much like Notre Dame football could be trying to get its star running back Jeremiyah Love extra touches. It won't come in the way that we are all thinking, as he isn't expected to get more carries, but instead could get a handful of opportunities to return kickoffs. Special teams coach Marty Biagi met with reporters today and discussed the fact that Love and Jadarian Price could both be in line to see some opportunities on his unit. Biagi complimented the star back saying that anytime 'you see a guy that is presumed a Heisman candidate starting on our punt team, which often goes overlooked, but when you have one of the best players in the country willing to go out and be a gunner on our punt team, it sets the standard for no job is too small for anybody on our team. It sets a standard for what we really want to be.' Love being a team-first player isn't surprising, as he battled through injuries at the end of last year to help the team wherever he could. If he's able to take a few of those kickoffs for scores, it should elevate his Heisman status and we could very well be seeing him in New York City in December.

Sixers forward Justin Edwards back in the gym working on his game
Some Justin Edwards offseason work 😤(h/t chrisjohnsonhoops on Instagram) As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare for the upcoming 2025-26 season, now is the time for players to get back in the gym and continuing to add to their respective games. The Sixers certainly want to move on and forget about a miserable 2024-25 season in which injuries decimated the roster. As the Sixers now move forward with their offseason plans, second-year forward Justin Edwards is back in the gym and putting in work. Following a solid rookie season in which he averaged 10.1 points and shot 36.3% from deep as an undrafted player out of Kentucky, the Philadelphia native is now looking to take another step forward in his game. Edwards was back in the gym working with trainer Chris Johnson--who also works with Sixers star Tyrese Maxey--as he looks to take his game to another level. If Edwards can continue to take steps forward as a legitimate 3-point shooter, then the Sixers are going to be in great shape moving forward. He is an athletic player who can defend multiple positions and isn't afraid of anybody. One has to believe the Sixers will find a spot for him in the rotation.
