2 Texas A&M WR commits listed as Top 5 Rivals Camp performers
2 Texas A&M WR commits listed as Top 5 Rivals Camp performers Texas A&M's wide receiver future will depend on quarterback play and, of course, offensive coordinator Collin Klein's performance during the 2025 season. However, if starting QB Marcel Reed improves from the pocket combined with Klein's solid playcalling, the future is very bright for two incoming 2026 wide receiver commits, as four-stars Aaron Gregory and Madden Williams were reportedly two of the top-performing pass-catchers during the Rivals Camp Series. Ahead of the annual Rivals Five-Star event taking place in Indianapolis at the end of the month, Rivals recruiting insider Sam Spiegelman detailed the top performers, which included Gregory and Williams, who both increased their recruiting stock before their official visits this summer. Last weekend, Gregory was one of three Aggie commits to shut down his recruitment. At the same time, Madden Williams, who Florida State is heavily pursuing, will take his official visit to Texas A&M on June 20, his final visit of the summer. Here's what Spiegelman had to say about each player's Rivals camp performances: 2026 4-star WR commit Aaron Gregory "Gregory has been one of the crown jewels of Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class. After turning in a monster junior season for Douglasville (Ga.) Douglas County, Gregory has enjoyed a sensational offseason, including a strong showing in Atlanta." "The future Aggie has a knack for wow receptions. He's extremely smooth with outstanding polish and the ability to get open. He's a problem for opposing defenses with the ability to work at all different levels of the field." 2026 4-star WR commit Madden Williams "Williams was the Wide Receiver MVP in Los Angeles. Another step forward as a route-runner and playmaker with size, speed and toughness to operate outside the numbers, Williams also flashed more polish and won in various contested-catch situations working on the perimeter and back in the middle of the field. Williams also showed the ability to separate against some elite cornerbacks." "He's another Texas A&M commit who has taken advantage of a big offseason." Gregory's smooth transitions, downfield speed, and soft hands will make him an immediate threat once he finds his groove with the Aggies. At the same time, as Spiegelman notes, Williams has improved as a route runner and could become a nightmare matchup in the middle of the field against zone coverage. Both players, paired with four-star wide receiver commit Mike Brown, currently represent Texas A&M's future at the position.

The Red Sox called up their top prospect and swept the Yankees. Then they made a stunning trade
The week began with Boston calling up top prospect Roman Anthony. It ended with the Red Sox trading slugger Rafael Devers. In between, they swept the rival Yankees. What's next for this team is anyone's guess. Boston took two of three from the second-place Rays and then swept the first-place Yankees to pull a game above .500. The Red Sox are 9-17 in one-run games, but they won three of those in a row against Tampa Bay and New York. All of that seemed to signal a potential turning point for a team that's struggled to sustain success since trading Mookie Betts after the 2019 season. But now the post-Betts era has become the post-Devers era. It appeared Devers would be a franchise cornerstone for years to come after the Red Sox signed him to a 10-year contract in 2023. Now he's been sent to San Francisco following a tumultuous start to this season. When the Red Sox added Alex Bregman, it opened a new can of worms over where Devers would play, and his relationship with the team went south. So Boston moves forward — with Devers gone and Bregman and fellow infielder Tristan Casas on the injured list. The Red Sox scored at least eight runs in four of five games from June 4-9. Then they held opponents to one run or fewer in three of their next five. Anthony is baseball's top-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline. Boston drafted him with the 79th pick in 2022, and the 21-year-old outfielder had a .914 OPS at Triple-A Worcester when called up. He's 1 for 17 at the plate so far. Now he might be under even more pressure — both this year and in the future. Boston has just one winning season since trading Betts to the Dodgers. Next in line? MLB Pipeline's No. 2 prospect is Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Bubba Chandler, who was drafted 72nd in 2021. He's 2-1 with a 2.63 ERA in 13 starts this year at Triple-A Indianapolis. The Pirates, of course, already have one outstanding young pitcher in Paul Skenes, and even he hasn't been able to prevent them from falling 15 games under .500. Pittsburgh ranks dead last in the majors with 3.18 runs per game. Excitement about Chandler's future? Sure. Can he fix what's holding the Pirates back? Perhaps not. Trivia time Devers began his career in 2017. Since then, he leads the Red Sox with 215 home runs. Betts is still fourth on that list with 85, even though that only includes three of his seasons in Boston. Who are the two players between Devers and Betts on that list? Line of the week Spencer Strider struck out 13 in six scoreless innings Saturday in Atlanta's 4-1 victory over Colorado. The Braves could desperately use some positive signs from Strider, who is 1-5 with a 4.35 ERA. Atlanta took two of three from the Rockies but is still eight games under .500. Comeback of the week The Arizona Diamondbacks scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat San Diego 8-7 on Saturday night. Geraldo Perdomo's three-run triple tied the game with one out, and then Josh Naylor scored Perdomo with a grounder. J.D. Martinez, with 130 homers for the Red Sox since then, and Xander Bogaerts with 115. ___

Bold 3-Team Trade Idea Sends Kevin Durant To Preferred Destination
Bold 3-Team Trade Idea Sends Kevin Durant To Preferred Destination originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Kevin Durant's next move could reshape the NBA again, and if Bleacher Report's Dan Favale has it right, the San Antonio Spurs might just pull off the boldest deal of the offseason. With Durant reportedly favoring the Spurs, Houston Rockets, and Miami Heat as his long-term destinations, Favale's proposed three-team blockbuster finds a way to get the 15-time All-Star exactly where he wants to go: San Antonio. Advertisement Charlotte Hornets Receive: 2025 No. 2 pick, 2026 second-round pick (via Spurs), 2028 Minnesota Timberwolves second-round pick (via Spurs) Phoenix Suns Receive: Harrison Barnes (via Spurs), Keldon Johnson (via Spurs), Jeremy Sochan (via Spurs), Mark Williams (via Hornets), 2025 No. 14 pick, 2026 San Antonio Spurs first-round pick, 2027 first-round pick (via Hornets) San Antonio Spurs Receive: Kevin Durant, 2025 No. 4 pick The Spurs Get A Big 3 To Instantly Contend This proposed deal gives all three franchises something meaningful. Most importantly, it delivers Durant to a team he's long admired, one loaded with young talent and structure, featuring generational prospect Victor Wembanyama and newly-acquired All-Star guard De'Aaron Fox. Advertisement Pairing Durant with Wemby and Fox would instantly elevate the Spurs into contender status, a dramatic acceleration of their rebuild. According to The Athletic, there was mutual interest between KD and the Spurs even before this year's trade deadline. ESPN's Shams Charania has now confirmed that San Antonio remains on Durant's shortlist, alongside Miami and Houston. The Spurs have both the asset base and financial flexibility to construct a deal that keeps their future intact while adding Durant's veteran shot-making and playoff pedigree. The beauty of this construction is balance. San Antonio keeps Devin Vassell and gives up the No. 2 pick, but they still retain the No. 4 pick, keeping them in the top tier of this draft class. The Suns Can Now Retool With Young Talent For Phoenix, this isn't the blockbuster haul that matches what they gave up for Durant (Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, four first-rounders), but it's a reasonable return for a 36-year-old on an expiring deal. Advertisement They receive two first-round picks, a lottery pick this year, and four solid rotation players—including a long-term center in Mark Williams and a versatile forward in Jeremy Sochan, while Keldon Johnson and Harrison Barnes offer immediate wing depth. Most importantly, they stay competitive around Devin Booker. The Hornets Move Up In The Draft Charlotte, meanwhile, sacrifices Mark Williams and the No. 4 pick but leapsfrogs into the No. 2 spot, presumably to take Rutgers star Dylan Harper. Pairing Harper with LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller gives the Hornets a tantalizing perimeter trio, even if the frontcourt takes a temporary hit. Kevin Durant Gets His Wish, The Suns Get The Right Pieces, And The Hornets Can Land Another Young Star Durant still holds significant power in this process, and his ability to sign a two-year, $122 million extension immediately after a trade gives him leverage. Advertisement But this deal could satisfy all sides: Phoenix reloads, Charlotte pivots toward a new future, and the Spurs land one of the greatest scorers of all time to pair with their next generational force. If executed, this isn't just a win-now move for San Antonio—it could be the beginning of a modern-day dynasty.
