Texas 2026 4-star S Donovan Webb has Notre Dame in his top-4, with a visit next weekend
Texas 2026 4-star S Donovan Webb has Notre Dame in his top-4, with a visit next weekend
The day is coming for 2026 Texas safety Donovan Webb to make a decision, as he'll pick from Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas Tech and Kansas State on July 2nd as he announced late on Thursday.
The 6-foot and 182-pound prospect is ranked as the No. 348 overall prospect by the 247Sports Composite and will visit South Bend on June 20th. He's already taken trips to see the Wolverines, Horned Frogs, Wildcats, Red Raiders along with Ohio State, Baylor and Colorado.
It's clear that a few of the schools that Webb went to see didn't impress him enough to commit, so Notre Dame has a shot in his recruitment. The visit next weekends visit will be telling, as it's the last one currently scheduled before a commitment is made.
Hopefully, the last impression is a good one, and Webb joins Notre Dame's 2026 recruiting class.

"Hey, Duke boy, shut the fu*k up and sit in the corner!" - Battier reveals what really happens during players-only meetings in the NBA
"Hey, Duke boy, shut the fu*k up and sit in the corner!" - Battier reveals what really happens during players-only meetings in the NBA originally appeared on Basketball Network. After a storied career at Duke, Shane Battier entered the NBA in 2001, eager to make an impact with the Memphis Grizzlies, who selected him with the sixth overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft. However, it didn't take long for the 6'8" forward to realize he wasn't in Kansas anymore as the Grizzlies slumped to a 1-11 start to the season, prompting the team to call a players-only meeting. Advertisement Despite being a first-year player, the native of Birmingham, Michigan, believed he could participate in the locker-room discussion. However, Shane soon learned that his status as a former NCAA superstar and a high draft pick didn't mean much among grizzled NBA veterans. Memphis felt the heat early on Although the team had talent (they drafted highly skilled big man Pau Gasol that season), they barely had experience and leadership. In fact, their starting lineup was led by flashy point guard Jason Williams, a 26-year-old who had just gotten traded by the Sacramento Kings. To try and stem the bleeding, the players decided to call a meeting. "So a players-only meeting only happens when you're, you know, getting heat from the media, the fans are on you. All right, look — you're not playing well. Okay, so all the movies say, the captains, the veterans, call a players-only meeting. We're going to air our grievances and have a kumbaya moment, and that's going to propel us to better performance," Battier shared. Advertisement A bona fide winner with the Blue Devils with an impeccable pedigree, having been trained and mentored by the iconic "Coach K," Mike Krzyzewski, Shane was no stranger to being a positive locker room presence. And on this occasion, Battier thought the time was right for him to share his thoughts. "Here I am, full of righteousness, coming from Duke, the Coach K way. Yep. And uh, I'm the first one to stand up, and I say, I got to be honest: the veteran leadership on this team sucks. Very honest, very direct," he disclosed. "And they said, "Hey Duke boy, shut the f**k up. Go sit in the corner. Who are you?' And I was just like, 'Oh man.' I did not read the room." Related: "Dad, you at 17, me at 17, who was better? I said, 'Listen, son...'" - Dominique Wilkins on the moment he realized his son didn't know how great of a player he was A lesson in humility The moment was an eye-opener for Battier into how locker room dynamics in the NBA work. There's a hierarchy, and rookie players like him were expected to simply follow the lead of the veterans. In this situation, the two-time All-Defensive Team member learned a valuable lesson in humility. "Battle" may have come from one of the top college basketball programs in the country with a legendary coach, but in the NBA, he was still a rookie player who needed to earn his place among veteran players. Advertisement "It humbled me, and I realized, man, I can't come in here guns a-blazing, because there's kind of like an ethos, a creed, an unspoken locker room path you got to take to earn credibility. And I hadn't done that to that point. And so I shut my as*, I went to work, right?" Shane recalled. "But I didn't become cynical, didn't become jaded. I wouldn't allow that locker room to change me. So I kept working. And a funny thing happened: the guys who maybe were on the fence and didn't know how to act and win started to have winning attitudes and behaviors. And all of a sudden, you kind of feel the locker room shift a little bit. And we started to believe a little bit," he added. The Grizz finished the 2001-2002 season with a horrendous 23-59 record under head coach Sidney Lowe. However, after Hubie Brown took over the following season, Memphis began showing promise and made three first-round appearances in the NBA Playoffs from 2004-2006. Battier also developed into one of the best defenders in the Association, using his smarts and mastery of angles to make up for a lack of elite athleticism.

Wisconsin football has a new highest-ranked commit in the class of 2026
Wisconsin football has a new highest-ranked commit in the class of 2026 Wisconsin football landed a commitment from class of 2026 three-star defensive back Zachary Taylor on Friday. Taylor chose the Badgers over top contenders Houston, Texas Tech and TCU. He completed visits to the latter two on June 3 and May 2, respectively, plus was scheduled to visit Houston on June 19. Just one full week after his June 6 official visit to Madison, Wisconsin, Taylor pledged to the Badgers. 247Sports ranks the Fulshear, Texas, native as the No. 540 overall player in the class of 2026, the No. 43 cornerback and the No. 76 recruit from his home state. He became Wisconsin's 12th commitment in the 2026 cycle. Notably, he is now the highest-ranked recruit of that group, edging three-star defensive lineman Djidjou Bah. His commitment pushed the class up to No. 35 nationally and No. 12 in the Big Ten. Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell and his staff are working to deliver a third consecutive top-25 recruiting class. While the program's 2026 class is a significant distance from that threshold, partially because it is still looking for its first blue-chip commit, several of its top targets remain uncommitted. Taylor's commitment may begin a run of positive recruiting news in that regard.
