Wisconsin football offers five-star recruit in the class of 2027

Wisconsin football is setting its sights high in the 2027 recruiting cycle, especially at the tight end position. After offering four-star TE Jaxon Dollar on Tuesday, the program also extended an offer to five-star TE Ahmad Hudson -- one of the nation's top players in the class. 247Sports specifically ranks Hudson as the No. 10 overall player in the 2027 cycle, the No. 1 tight end and the No. 1 player from his home state of Louisiana. Wisconsin is unsurprisingly not alone on the five-star recruit's offer sheet. As of July 23, other programs in pursuit of Hudson include Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Texas A&M, Auburn, Florida, Miami, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Texas and USC. 247Sports currently lists Alabama, Baylor, Florida State, in-state LSU and Texas A&M as the early favorites in his recruitment, while On3/Rivals gives LSU (95.9%) a prohibitive early advantage over Nebraska (2%) and others. The 6-foot-6 tight end prospect is also a four-star power forward recruit on the basketball court. Only LSU, Grambling State and Louisiana Tech are listed on his basketball offer sheet. Wisconsin will have significant competition for Hudson's commitment. The program has not landed a five-star recruit since offensive tackle Nolan Rucci during the 2021 cycle. It only has five five-star signees in the online recruiting rankings era: 2001 DT Anttaj Hawthorne, 2003 DE Justin Ostrowski, 2007 OT Josh Oglesby, 2019 OT Logan Brown and Rucci. As noted in our story on Wisconsin's offer to Dollar, another blue-chip tight end in the class, the program is looking to rebuild its tight end room as it transitions back to a pro-style system on offense. Top talent at the position will be paramount to the scheme's success. That reality differs from Phil Longo's air raid scheme, which put more emphasis on speed and talent at wide receiver.

Donald Trump announces trade deal with Japan

US President Donald Trump has announced a trade framework with Japan, placing a 15% tax on goods imported from that nation. 'This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs – There has never been anything like it,' Mr Trump posted on Truth Social, adding that the United States 'will continue to always have a great relationship with the Country of Japan'. The president said Japan would invest 'at my direction' 550 billion dollars into the US and would 'open' its economy to American cars and rice. The 15% tax on imported Japanese goods is a meaningful drop from the 25% rate that Mr Trump, in a recent letter to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, said would be levied starting on August 1. Early Wednesday, Mr Ishiba acknowledged the new trade agreement, saying it would benefit both sides and help them work together. With the announcement, Mr Trump is seeking to tout his ability as a dealmaker — even as his tariffs, when initially announced in early April led to a market panic and fears of slower growth that for the moment appear to have subsided. Key details remained unclear from his post, such as whether Japanese-built cars would face a higher 25% tariff that Mr Trump imposed on the sector. But the framework fits a growing pattern for Mr Trump, who is eager to portray the tariffs as a win for the US. His administration says the revenues will help reduce the budget deficit and more factories will relocate to America to avoid the import taxes and cause trade imbalances to disappear. The wave of tariffs continues to be a source of uncertainty about whether it could lead to higher prices for consumers and businesses if companies simply pass along the costs. The problem was seen sharply on Tuesday after General Motors reported a 35% drop in its net income during the second quarter as it warned that tariffs would hit its business in the months ahead, causing its stock to tumble. As the August 1 deadline for the tariff rates in his letters to world leaders is approaching, Mr Trump also announced a trade framework with the Philippines that would impose a tariff of 19% on its goods, while American-made products would face no import taxes. The president also reaffirmed his 19% tariffs on Indonesia. The US ran a 69.4 billion dollar trade imbalance on goods with Japan last year, according to the Census Bureau. America had a trade imbalance of 17.9 billion dollars with Indonesia and an imbalance of 4.9 billion dollars with the Philippines. Both nations are less affluent than the US and an imbalance means America imports more from those countries than it exports to them. The president is set to impose the broad tariffs listed in his recent letters to other world leaders on August 1, raising questions of whether there will be any breakthrough in talks with the European Union. At a Tuesday dinner, Mr Trump said the EU would be in Washington on Wednesday for trade talks. 'We have Europe coming in tomorrow, the next day,' Mr Trump told guests. The president earlier this month sent a letter threatening the 27 member states in the EU with 30% taxes on their goods to be imposed starting on August 1.

Struggling Detroit Tigers need to 'get our swagger back' amid rough stretch, mental lapses

PITTSBURGH — The Detroit Tigers have lost eight of their last nine games. The rough stretch for the Tigers reached a new low point in an 8-5 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday, July 22, at PNC Park, with several mental mistakes on display. A struggling offense and a tired bullpen are responsible for most of the recent losses, but in this case, the Tigers looked sloppy for the first time in a long time. "We had a really bad mental game today," manager A.J. Hinch said after Tuesday's loss. "That's really rare for this team. We paid for it. They're just mistakes that we know we can fix, and we will fix. We will be better." COMING SOON: Kerry Carpenter injury update: Tigers slugger starts rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo Maybe it's trying to do too much. Maybe it's trying too hard to be perfect. "Maybe it's this stretch," said first baseman Spencer Torkelson, who made the worst mental mistake. "We don't want a game like this to happen with all these mess ups, but if it's going to happen, we're going to use it as a time to reset and refocus ourselves." The third inning told the story of the entire game. Oneil Cruz hit a rocket that should've been caught by center fielder Parker Meadows, but he lost the ball in the sun. Ke'Bryan Hayes followed with a chopper to third baseman Zach McKinstry, whose throw eluded an outstretched Torkelson at first base for a throwing error. As the ball rolled into foul territory and the runner advanced to third, Torkelson jogged after it without urgency. Cruz noticed the lack of effort and took advantage, sprinting home to score. "Everyone knows that was terrible," Torkelson said. "I just, mentally, didn't even look. He's aggressive, and I got to know that after that play, he's thinking I'm falling asleep, and I did." The mistake cost the Tigers one run. In the dugout, Torkelson apologized to his teammates and coaches. "He took the end of the play off," Hinch said. "He felt terrible. He just fell asleep. He was very accountable. He's not a guy that generally has those mistakes." The other mistakes in Tuesday's loss: Wenceel Pérez failed to touch home plate on what should've been a sacrifice fly. A strikeout by reliever Carlos Hernández skipped to the backstop and allowed the batter to reach safely, leading to a three-run inning. Catcher Jake Rogers tried to throw out a runner stealing third base, but the ball deflected off the batter's bat. It was the Tigers' worst performance in 102 games. "We are a much better team and a cleaner team than what we've shown," Hinch said. "We've been trending with some struggles that we know we can fix. We know we can be better. This group is confident, but we got to wear it while we're going through it. The reality is, we haven't played our best, and it's cost us." [ MUST LISTEN: Make "Days of Roar" your go-to Detroit Tigers podcast, available anywhere you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify) ] Every player who spoke to reporters after Tuesday's game didn't hesitate to take responsibility — no excuses — for the sloppiest game of this rough stretch. "I just look at myself," said right-hander Casey Mize, who allowed five runs (four earned runs) on 10 hits across four innings, as his ERA jumped from 2.63 to 3.40 in his last two starts. "I'm not getting them off the field quick enough and not setting the tone early and not giving us a chance to win. It's on me." "We're struggling," said Rogers, who hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning. "We just need to clean up the hustle. We're a hustle team, and we have fun. Once we get both those things back, we're going to hit the ground running." "We definitely lost some focus on those plays," said Torkelson, who had one single and two doubles, "and that's part of it, but if it's going to happen, it's a fine time to let it happen now and then refocus and ball out for the next 50-whatever games." There's no reason to hit the panic button. Not yet, at least. The Tigers (60-42) have the third-best record in MLB, trailing only the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs. Not only do the Tigers have the American League's best record, but they're also better than the Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros, among many others. A CF PROBLEM: Tigers' Parker Meadows 'trying to find a groove' as playing time decreases In the AL Central, the first-place Tigers on July 8 had a 14-game lead within the division. Two weeks later, that lead over the Cleveland Guardians is down to nine games — a five-game swing in the standings over nine games. "I'm just going to look at the long-term view: We're still leading the division by a ton, and we have 60 wins," Mize said. "That's probably more so who we are than the last 10 games or so. That's kind of how I view it." The Tigers were the first MLB team to achieve 60 wins, just like they were the first team to reach the 30, 40, 50 and 55-win milestones — doing so despite a 14-17 record since June 14 and a 1-8 record since July 9. The players expect to bounce back. "We could easily be the first team to 70 wins," Torkelson said. "We just got to get our swagger back. That comes with the refocus. We're a really good team. We just got to play like it." Contact Evan Petzold at epetzold@ or follow him @EvanPetzold.
