Spartans Win Big Ten Recruiting Battle Over Iowa With 3-Star EDGE Cory House

Spartans Win Big Ten Recruiting Battle Over Iowa With 3-Star EDGE Cory House originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After visiting Michigan State on May 30 and Iowa on June 5, the Spartans picked up edge Cory House as their 10th 2026 recruit. The 3-star and No. 68 edge recruit in the country from Memphis, TN, declared his commitment on June 10. Rush ends coach Chad Wilts, who ultimately was credited as the primary recruiter, first gave House an offer back in February. However, the 6'5, 240-pound edge was wanted at 28 schools across the country, including 12 power conference schools. Advertisement Initially, House intended to visit Indiana and North Carolina as well. Ole Miss was also a contender for the Whitehaven High School edge. Michigan State head coach Jonathan Smith looks on during practiceNick King/Lansing State Journal/USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Before the official visit season started, the Spartans had only four class of 2026 recruits all on the offensive side of the ball: quarterback Kayd Coffman, tight end Joey Caudill, tight end Eddie Whiting, and offensive tackle Eli Bickel. House now marks Michigan State's sixth consecutive defensive addition for the class of 2026 alongside safety Brayden Thomas, cornerback K.J. Deriso, safety Elijah Caldwell-Hardy, linebacker Braylon Hodge, and defensive tackle Chris Knauls. Advertisement Thomas, Deriso, and Hodge were also part of the first group of visitors. Thomas first committed to Iowa State on February 1. On May 31, one day after his official visit, the Ohio native hinted at flipping his decision before verbally committing to Michigan State on June 2. Despite upping the numbers, the Spartans are still pulling together more of a lackluster recruitment class with No. 295 overall Coffman being the only commit in the top 550 overall. Currently Michigan State's recruitment is ranked 44th in the country, falling well behind its Big Ten rivals in the top 20 overall: USC (No. 1), Ohio State (No. 2), Penn State (No. 5), Rutgers (No. 9), Illinois (No. 12), UCLA (No. 14), Minnesota (No. 18), and Washington (No. 20). While the Spartans bumped from No. 57 to No. 44, being on the weaker end of recruitment will force head coach Jonathan Smith to rely on returners making leaps heading into his second year if he's unable to secure high-end recruits.

The Tigers Need To Trade For A Starter After Losing Jackson Jobe

The Detroit Tigers have the best record in MLB at 44-24, but they'll have to press on without a highly promising young pitcher for the rest of the season. Jackson Jobe will undergo Tommy John surgery according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Jobe, a 22-year-old right-hander, was the third overall pick in the 2021 draft and the consensus top pitching prospect in the minors before the 2025 season (excluding Roki Sasaki). Every major prospect ranking outlet had him in the top five overall on their preseason lists. He made two appearances for the Tigers out of the bullpen at the end of the 2024 season, then pitched twice more in the playoffs. He began the year in Detroit's rotation, but failed to live up to the hype. In 10 starts and 49 innings, he compiled a 4.22 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP with just 39 strikeouts. Batters hit .296 with a .519 slugging percentage against his vaunted fastball. Even more concerning was that his fastball velocity decreased rapidly over the course of the season. Early in spring training, he averaged 98.5 mph, but in his last start before going on the injured list, he was down to 95.5 mph. That can often be a precursor to an injury, and now he will miss the rest of this year and most or all of the 2026 campaign too. The Tigers have enjoyed a dream start to the season and are positioned to make an easy run to the playoffs, but they have to be concerned about their pitching depth. Jobe is one of five Detroit starting pitchers on the injured list at the moment. Reese Olson is sidelined with ring finger inflammation, while Alex Cobb, Ty Madden, and José Urquidy have all yet to pitch this year. The front three pitchers in their rotation have certainly held their own. Tarik Skubal is aiming for his second Cy Young Award in a row, and he leads the American League with a 1.85 FIP, 0.8 walks per nine innings, and 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings. If he can maintain his 15.0 strikeouts-to-walks ratio, it would shatter the MLB single-season record. Jack Flaherty and Casey Mize also have excellent 3.41 and 2.91 ERAs respectively. Keider Montero and Sawyer Gipson-Long have been pressed into duty by all the injuries. Montero has made six starts and three relief appearances, but has only struck out 30 batters in 46 innings while giving up 48 hits and 17 walks. Gipson-Long missed almost the entirety of the 2024 season, only making one appearance in the minors. He has already pitched at four levels this year, including 8 1/3 innings for the Tigers. With Jackson Jobe out of action until possibly 2027, Detroit has already scraped the bottom of the barrel of their pitching depth. They should become major players in the trade market for starting pitching before the deadline at the end of July. They may even need to acquire more than one hurler, especially if another pitcher gets hurt, and Jobe's fate is a reminder of how fragile pitchers' arms can be.
