USC football picks up crystal ball prediction for four-star wide receiver Boobie Feaster
Although USC football already holds the No. 1 recruiting in the country for the 2026 cycle, the Trojans are far from done yet. On Friday, four-star wide receiver Ethan "Boobie" Feaster is set to announce his commitment. Wednesday morning, Rivals recruiting analysts Sam Spiegelman and Steve Wiltfong both put in crystal ball projections for USC to land Feaster. Feaster was originally a member of the class of 2027, but reclassified to 2026. Per the On3 industry rankings, the DeSoto, Texas native is the No. 45 overall player and the No. 5 wide receiver in the class. It is easy to see why USC is an attractive option for Feaster. Head coach Lincoln Riley has a great history with producing star wide receivers, both at USC and during his time at Oklahoma. Landing Feaster would be yet another massive addition for the Trojans, who, led by Riley and new general manager Chad Bowden, are putting together, an elite 2026 class. Feaster is deciding between, USC, Texas A&M, LSU, and Alabama. He will announced his school choice on Friday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time.

Australia choose to bat first in Grenada against a West Indies four-pace attack
ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada (AP) — Australia won the toss and chose to bat first against the West Indies in the second test on Thursday. Australia, 1-0 up in the three-test series, named its team earlier and Steve Smith returns in place of Josh Inglis. Smith missed the first test in Barbados after his finger injury in the World Test Championship final at Lord's last month. Advertisement The West Indies also made one change; dropping frontline spinner Jomel Warrican for a fourth seamer, Anderson Phillip, who will play his first test since 2022. The West Indies lost in three days in Barbados but the National Stadium pitch is expected to be a little kinder for batters. But nobody was certain because St. George's hasn't hosted any cricket in a year. Former captain Kraigg Brathwaite will play his 100th test. His successor, Roston Chase, said he was happy with the toss decision, as he wanted to bowl. ___ Lineups: West Indies: Kraigg Brathwaite, John Campbell, Keacy Carty, Brandon King, Shai Hope, Roston Chase (captain), ustin Greaves, Anderson Phillip, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales.
