Strong offseason puts UNC basketball in ESPN's latest Preseason Top 25 Rankings
Strong offseason puts UNC basketball in ESPN's latest Preseason Top 25 Rankings Can the UNC basketball team surpass its preseason expectations? Thanks to their high-profile additions in the transfer portal, the North Carolina Tar Heels should be one of college basketball's best teams in the 2025-2026 season. Needing to address its underwhelming size in the post, UNC nabbed one of the portal's greatest players in Henri Veesaar, the 7-foot center who played his first two years at Arizona. North Carolina also found its projected starting point guard in Kyan Evans, 6'11" power forward and Chapel Hill native Jarin Stevenson, plus a pair of shooting guards in Jonathan Powell and Jaydon Young. In addition to their portal activity, the Tar Heels are returning experienced guard Seth Trimble and bringing in 5-star power forward Caleb Wilson. Despite Drake Powell declaring for – and later deciding to stay in the NBA Draft – UNC is a team to watch this coming winter. In ESPN's updated preseason Top 25 rankings, this time after the NBA Draft withdrawal deadline, Jeff Borzello kept North Carolina at 25th. "Hubert Davis has been busy in the portal, replacing the departing Elliot Cadeau and Ian Jackson with transfers Kyan Evans (Colorado State) and Jonathan Powell (West Virginia)," Borzello said. "Davis also landed one of the best bigs in the portal with Arizona's Henri Veesaar, as well as upside players in Alabama's Jarin Stevenson and Virginia Tech's Jaydon Young." With Seth Trimble's return and top-10 recruit Caleb Wilson's arrival, there's a talented core in Chapel Hill," Borzello continued. "But Carolina had also been swinging (and missing) on impact wings, especially after Drake Powell opted to remain in the NBA draft, despite not appearing to be a lock first-round pick. That drought ended when Montenegrin wing Luka Bogavac picked North Carolina. The 22-year-old should make an immediate impact as a shooter." As a reminder, preseason rankings mean virtually nothing, but it's nice to see UNC getting some recognition. What matters most is where the Tar Heels end their campaign – hopefully, this coming season, that's with a seventh National Championship.

Steelers LB Cole Holcomb describes difficult injury process — ready to compete in 2025
Steelers LB Cole Holcomb describes difficult injury process — ready to compete in 2025 Steelers LB Cole Holcomb is finally healthy after suffering a devastating knee injury back in 2023. At Steelers OTAs on Tuesday, Holcomb explained how difficult it was being sidelined (courtesy of Steelers Live): "Yeah, it's hard — I'm a pretty impatient person. Definitely had some days where you just want to be out there and it's frustrating — but it's kind of just one of those take it one day at a time." Holcomb then touched on how the state of the linebacker room has changed since his injury — and how he fits into the group: "I got to know [Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson] pretty well last year. I tried to stay as involved as I could. Now, being able to come out here and play with those guys has been great. Just trying to get in where I fit in — love the competition. I love competing, so it's been great." If Holcomb can effectively rotate with Wilson and Queen on defense, the Steelers may very well have the best inside linebacker unit in the NFL.

Dad shoots family dog for killing chickens, then teen son stabs him, TN cops say
A dad shot his family's dog, then the man's son stabbed him in an argument, Tennessee officials said. On June 2, Sumner County deputies responded to a home in Cottontown and learned a 17-year-old had stabbed his dad, according to a Facebook post by the sheriff's office. The altercation stemmed from the teen hearing a gunshot from inside the home, then finding his dad had shot the family dog because it was killing chickens, deputies said. The teen stabbed his dad twice during the confrontation outside the henhouse, officials said. A struggle began before the teen went back inside to grab a handgun, deputies said. He fired multiple rounds but the dad was able to leave the property and get help, deputies said. The teen was arrested and the father was treated for non-life threatening injuries at the scene, deputies said. Cottontown is about a 30-mile drive northeast from Nashville.
