Notre Dame four-star target Prince Tavizon reclassifies from Class of 2027 to 2026 class
Class of 2027 Oregon commit Prince Tavizon has reclassified to the 2026 class, which is potentially good news for Notre Dame.
The four-star edge rusher from Lincoln (San Diego, CA) is rated by the 247Sports Composite Rankings as the 12th-best player in the state, a number that will now change when he gets re-ranked as a member of the 2026 class. But obviously he is highly regarded.
Could the Fighting Irish now be in play for the 6-foot-3, 245-pounder, who chose the Ducks over programs such as USC, Texas A&M and Cal?
Oregon may still have the edge, as it has a history with Lincoln. Last year, the Ducks received a commitment from four-star QB Akili Smith Jr., and four-star CB Jahlil Florence from the 2023 class attended the school as well. But with the success the Irish have had comprising a phenomenal 2026 class, could Tavizon be intrigued by being another strong piece to what's becoming an epic haul?

US sprint star Richardson out of trials following arrest
US sprint star Sha'Carri Richardson withdrew from the US Track and Field Championships in Oregon on Friday as it emerged she had been arrested and held at an airport detention center days earlier. Reigning world 100m champion Richardson, one of US sprinting's biggest stars, was held by police at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Sunday. Local correctional facility records showed she was released on Monday but did not specify any charges or the reason for the 25-year-old's arrest. Port of Seattle Police did not immediately respond to a request for further information. Richardson's management team also did not reply to a request for comment. News of Richardson's arrest came as USA Track and Field confirmed she would play no further part in this week's championships in Eugene after racing in the opening heats of the women's 100m on Thursday. Richardson -- who famously was barred from competing at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after testing positive for marijuana use after her victory at the US trials -- gave no clue of fresh controversy in her private life after her heat on Thursday. The Texan star laughed and joked with journalists as she discussed her form and fitness heading into September's World Championships in Tokyo. She did not mention her arrest earlier in the week and was not asked about it. As a defending world champion, Richardson already has a bye into the World Championships in Japan, and was under no obligation to race in Eugene this week. She clocked her fastest 100m of the season in Thursday's heat, with a time of 11.07sec. She had been due to run in this weekend's 200m but a USATF spokesman said she had scratched from both the 100m and 200m. Richardson's name remained on the 200m start list late Friday. A smiling Richardson said on Thursday she had been happy to compete in Eugene knowing that her place on the team for Tokyo was already assured. "USA is one of the hardest teams to make, so it definitely is a kind of a release of pressure knowing I have a bye," she told AFP. "It feels really good to not have that pressure and still be able to go to Tokyo. "Right now I'm cruising under the radar, but when it's time to hit -- it's gonna be a bang where y'all see my name," she said. Richardson's exit came as men's 100m world champion Noah Lyles withdrew from the remaining rounds of the short sprint. Lyles, who is also already qualified for Tokyo, will race in the 200m on Sunday. Olympic women's 200m champion Gabby Thomas has also withdrawn from the rest of the 100m, and will focus on the 200m. rcw/bb

Dombrowski: Phillies got what they needed in trades for Jhoan Duran, Harrison Bader
The Phillies talked to everybody. Likewise, anybody the Phillies have, including their top and perhaps untouchable prospects, earned inquiries from opposing teams. 'Basically, I can't tell you there was any club over the last time period that we did not speak to,' Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said after the MLB trade deadline had passed the evening of July 31. 'There was no stone unturned.' Underneath they found what all agreed were their greatest needs — a relief pitcher and a right-handed outfield bat. Jhoan Duran, who'll likely settle into a closer role, and versatile outfielder Harrison Bader both came from the Minnesota Twins and will be in uniform when the Phillies open a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers on Aug. 1 at Citizens Bank Park. DURAN JOINS BULLPEN: Phillies acquire Twins closer ahead of MLB trade deadline How their additions alter the 26-man roster will be revealed sometime before that game. In the trade deadline's final stages, the Phillies then added to their pitching depth by acquiring right-hander Matt Manning from the Detroit Tigers for 18-year-old outfielder Josueth Quiñonez. Though he made 50 starts for Detroit the past four years, Manning had been at Triple-A Toledo this year and will report to low-Class A Clearwater. Duran did cost the Phillies two of their top prospects. But they held onto the top three — pitcher Andrew Painter and outfielder Justin Crawford at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and Double-A Reading shortstop Aidan Miller. 'We had a lot of conversations still today,' Dombrowski said. 'We could have made other trades, like anybody could make more. We're very comfortable. We've added where we think we needed to add.' Dombrowski added that the Phillies "weren't enticed to trade the big names, although some of the top prospects people still asked about." Painter, he said, "has the potential to be a No. 1-, No. 2-type starter for a long, long time for us." The Phils did deal two of their better prospects — pitcher Mick Abel, now at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and High-A Jersey Shore catcher Eduardo Tait — to the Twins in the Duran deal. OUTFIELD HELP COMING: Phillies trade for Twins Harrison Bader Duran is a hard-throwing 6-foot-3, 230-pound right-hander from the Dominican Republic. He is 27 with two years of team contract control beyond this season. He is 6-4 with a 2.01 ERA and 16 saves in 49 games this year. Duran is 17-23 with a 2.47 ERA and 74 saves in 223 games over four years, all with Minnesota. His velocity has been down a tick this year, however, and his 9.7 strikeouts per nine innings are a career low. But his addition allows the Phillies' most reliable relievers Orion Kerkering and Matt Strahm to be set-up men. Jose Alvarado will also return to the bullpen soon from his 80-day PED suspension but cannot pitch in the postseason. To get Bader the Phillies parted with Double-A Reading outfielder Hendry Mendez, who had been the organization's 12th-rated prospect according to and 16-year-old Venezuelan pitcher Geremy Villoria, who plays for a Phillies team in the Dominican Summer League. The right-handed-hitting Bader, 31, is batting .258 with 12 homers, 38 RBI and a .778 OPS with nearly identical figures against both left-handed (.774) and right-handed (.779) pitchers this year. It's been his most productive season offensively since 2021. He also has a career .809 OPS and five home runs in the postseason. DEADLINE DAY: Phillies, others makes big moves Bader won a Gold Glove with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2021 and can play all three outfield positions quite adeptly with center field likely his best spot. He is on a one-year contract that includes a mutual option for 2026, meaning he'll likely become a free agent. 'He's gonna play a lot,' Dombrowski said. 'The lineup will be Topper's (manager Rob Thomson's) decision, of course. We're happy to get him. He's played well this year offensively and defensively. He's hitting the ball with some pop. We think he's going to help us.' Contact Kevin Tresolini at ktresolini@ and follow on Twitter @kevintresolini. Support local journalism by subscribing to and our DE Game Day newsletter.

Lyles, Richardson scratch from 100m at US trials
Reigning world champions Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson have withdrawn from the final rounds of the 100m at the US Track and Field Championships in Oregon on Friday following their appearances in the opening heats. Both Lyles and Richardson have already qualified for September's World Championships in Tokyo after winning gold in the men's and women's 100m respectively at Budapest in 2023. Lyles, the Olympic 100m champion, has scratched from the semi-finals of the 100m at Hayward Field later Friday and will concentrate on the 200m starting on Sunday. Richardson was due to enter the 200m but has instead opted to shut down her entire campaign in Eugene after clocking 11.07sec in her 100m heat on Thursday. Women's Olympic 200m champion Gabby Thomas has also opted to scratch from Friday's 100m finals. Like Lyles, Thomas will now shift her focus to the 200m on Sunday. Lyles clocked 10.05sec in the first round on Thursday, the fifth fastest time of 100m qualifying. "I need races -- everybody knows I started the season late due to injury," said Lyles, who was beaten in his first 100m of the season at the London Diamond League on July 19. "I just need as many races as possible. After the 100 in London, me and my coach were like 'We might as well (race at trials)'. It's a free race, it's good competition." Richardson meanwhile was satisfied with her 100m performance, admitting she was reveling in the fact she could compete in Eugene knowing that qualification for the World Championships was already assured. "USA is one of the hardest teams to make, so it definitely is a kind of a release of pressure knowing I have a bye," she told AFP. "It feels really good to not have that pressure and still be able to go to Tokyo. "Right now I'm cruising under the radar, but when it's time to hit -- it's gonna be a bang where y'all see my name," she said. rcw/bb
