Early Ranking Signals High Hopes for Mizzou Basketball
Early Ranking Signals High Hopes for Mizzou Basketball originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With the NBA draft withdrawals finalized, and teams starting to come together, numerous sports sites put out their first Top 25 rankings headed into the 2025-26 season. While Missouri was left off most of these lists, The Athletic had Mizzou scribbled in at No. 24. Advertisement The article highlighted the importance of the Tigers returning three starters from their previously Top 25 team. Those returners were Anthony Robinson II, Mark Mitchell and Trent Pierce — all of which had important roles on the team last season. While the team loses key scorers like Caleb Grill and Tamar Bates; Mitchell led Mizzou in scoring with 13.9 points per game with Robinson (9.0) and Pierce (6.7) also adding valuable scoring options. 'Outside shooting could be a concern with the graduation of Grill and Tamar Bates, but Mitchell-Mack-Robinson could end up being one of the better trios in the SEC,' the article said.

Advertisement Specifically, the team mentions the front court editions of Jontay Porter — who the article has in the teams starting lineup — Shawn Phillips and Luke Northweather. Phillip, a transfer from Arizona State, provides rim protection while Porter and Northweather offer a big man who can slide out and shoot the three. Trent Burns was also mentioned as a game-changer when it comes to helping the Tigers in the front court. 'The 7-foot-5 Burns, who redshirted as a freshman, can step out and hit a 3. To borrow an old Fran Fraschilla line, he could be a year away from being a year away, but he's a fascinating prospect,' The Athletic said. Sebastian Mack is expected to start in the shooting guard position for the Tigers next season after spending two seasons with UCLA. While Mack averaged 9.6 points per game with the Bruins during his sophomore campaign, The Athletic believes he has another level to his play that he hasn't yet reached. Advertisement 'it feels like he has the potential to be more productive in a high-tempo system like Mizzou's. He should fit nicely in the Tony Perkins role,' the article said. Missouri may not be on every Top 25 list, but with key returners and high-upside newcomers, the Tigers have the tools to make noise in 2025–26.

CBS Sports decides what Clemson football must do to be successful in 2025
CBS Sports decides what Clemson football must do to be successful in 2025 The start of the 2025 college football season is 79 days away -- and 86 days until the Clemson Tigers host LSU in Death Valley at Memorial Stadium on Aug. 30. As we count down the days until then, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is holding his annual summer camp, offensive line coach Matt Luke is busy lighting things up on the recruiting trail with the 2026 signing class, and the Tigers have landed their first official commitment for 2027. All great news, but what about the 2025 season? Clemson has a stacked roster that is looking to build off a 10-win campaign that included an ACC championship and a trip to the College Football Playoff. The biggest concern the Tigers have is not at quarterback; not after Cade Klubnik's meteoric rise in 2024 (3,639 passing yards, 36 TDs, six INTs). It's not at wide receiver, either. The Tigers have bonafide studs in senior Antonio Williams, plus young sensations Bryant Wesco and T.J. Moore at the position. The defense is anchored up front by linemen T.J. Parker and Peter Woods, and Avieon Terrell shores things up in the secondary. The consensus is that the Tigers' biggest question mark heading into the 2025 season is at running back, where they'll have to replace senior Phil Mafah. On Thursday, CBS Sports' Brad Crawford wrote about one area every team in his post-spring top 25 must address to be successful in 2025. For Clemson, it's finding comfort in the run game. Crawford said: "Find comfort in run game: Tabbed by a few to be college football's top team this fall, Clemson is loaded on both sides with perhaps its best roster since Dabo Swinney's last national championship team. That said, the Tigers are inexperienced in the backfield with freshman Gideon Davidson, third-year sophomore Jay Haynes and redshirt freshman David Eziomume expected to share the load at running back after Phil Mafah's departure. This will be a pass-happy team with Cade Klubnik, but offensive coordinator Garrett Riley needs to be able to breathe easy in short-yardage situations, too." Mafah rushed 216 times for 1,115 yards (5.2 AVG) and eight touchdowns a season ago. It's the second straight year that Clemson will have to replace its starting tailback from the previous season after Mafah took over for the versatile Will Shipley after 2023. Clemson and LSU will meet in prime time at 7:30 p.m. ET on Aug. 30. The game will be televised on ABC.

Red Sox-Tigers Trade Idea Centered Around $123M All-Star Should Terrify Yankees
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Boston Red Sox are in fourth place in the American League East and could end up being sellers by the time the July 31 trade deadline approaches. They reportedly have received some trade interest for All-Star outfielder Jarren Duran. Duran was an All-Star last year, but may be the odd man out in Boston. The team has Ceddanne Rafaela signed to a long-term extension and Wilyer Abreu under team control until 2030. Sooner or later, they are going to have to make a move to get Roman Anthony in the big leagues. Duran has the most trade value and is older than his fellow outfielders. If Duran is available, many teams, not just contenders, could be picking up the phones to try and get him. However, Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer proposed this trade that would send him to the Detroit Tigers. Red Sox receive: RHP Jackson Jobe and SS Bryce Rainer (Tigers No. 3 prospect) Tigers receive: OF Jarren Duran "They ought to be in World Series or bust mode after a 40-22 start to the year, and adding Duran would further super-charge an offense that has been a pleasant surprise," wrote Rymer. "It needs Duran's speed, as the Tigers' 21 stolen bases are the fewest in MLB. Because the Tigers are set with Riley Greene in left field, Duran could take over in center and put a stop to a revolving door that has seen seven players start at the position. This would free Javier Báez up to be a proper super-utility man." CLEVELAND, OHIO - APRIL 27: First base coach José David Flores #58 of the Boston Red Sox holds back Jarren Duran #16 as Duran yells at a fan during the seventh inning against the Cleveland... CLEVELAND, OHIO - APRIL 27: First base coach José David Flores #58 of the Boston Red Sox holds back Jarren Duran #16 as Duran yells at a fan during the seventh inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on April 27, 2025 in Cleveland, Ohio. MoreThe Tigers went on an improbable run to the postseason last year, going 39-26 in the second half and reaching Game 5 of the American League Division Series. They have picked up right where they left off and have the best record in baseball. They are ahead of the New York Yankees in the American League standings, but adding Duran could really threaten the Yankees' reign as American League champions. Duran is hitting .273/.318/424 with four home runs and a league-leading six triples. He would add some serious speed to their team on the basepaths and deepen their lineup. If the Yankees watched the Tigers trade for Duran, it could put them in a tough spot for years to come. Duran is under club control through 2028 and is projected to earn a six-year, $123 million deal on the open market. The Red Sox are unlikely to pay him after paying Rafaela and with Anthony ready to become a pillar of the team. More MLB: MLB Insider Tags Mariners As Landing Spot For AL East Infielder
