Four Recruits, Kayd Coffman, Jack Lansing III, Tyren Wortham, and Jamal Rule, Will Visit Michigan State in Final Weekend of Official Visits
The final weekend of official visits is here and it's the last chance to get recruits on campus before the fall. Michigan State has been on a recruitment roll and is currently No. 26 overall in the NCAA with its class of 2026.

June has been a huge boost of confidence for head coach Jonathan Smith and the Spartans with 14 of its recruits committing in this month alone.
Now with the last weekend upon East Lansing, here are the quartet of visitors Michigan State will host.

Quarterback Kayd Coffman
Coffman is a four-star recruit that's already committed to the Spartans. The No. 259 overall recruit is the 19th quarterback from his class and the No. 4 pick out of Michigan.
He is the only quarterback from the class of 2026 that's committed to Michigan State. His development with the Spartans and trajectory for the program seem to be bright with Coffman expected to step up into a major role during his time with Smith.

Linebacker Jack Lansing III
The three-star defenseman is another Michigan State commit set to visit over the weekend. He's considered the No. 163 linebacker and No. 42 recruit from Michigan.
While Lansing III is not a headlining recruit by any means as he's received a walk-on offer, his visit will allow him to get a feel for the program and environment.
Wide receiver Tyren Wortham
Unlike the other two recruits, Wortham is not a MSU commit. He's currently decided on UCF, but did not cancel his official visit with the Spartans.
The wide receiver is a No. 387 overall, three-star recruit, No. 59 in his position, and the No. 57 athlete out of Florida.

Wortham's visit will be an opportunity for Smith to potentially flip his commitment as he's not 100 percent locked in on the Knights.
Running back Jamal Rule
Rule is another three-star recruit. He's ranked as the No. 47 running back and No. 33 pick out of North Carolina. Michigan State is the final school he has left to visit, and was a last minute interest of Smith's.
The rising senior is currently not committed anywhere, but has a top five list of finalists that includes the Spartans. A final visit with Michigan State will help Rule determine if he belongs in East Lansing or with North Carolina State, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, or Nebraska.

It's possible that Smith has other recruits that will be on campus, as commits, like Jordan Vann and Tristan Comer, did not have the dates of their visits announced.
However, looking at the solidified group of four that will be on campus, it will be important for Smith to maintain the two already committed. This is especially so for Coffman, though it's unlikely the quarterback will decommit to look elsewhere.

Son poised to join LAFC for £20m after Spurs exit
Son Heung-min is expected to join Los Angeles FC for around £20m after announcing his departure from Tottenham over the weekend. The forward revealed in a news conference on Saturday that he will leave Tottenham this summer after 10 years at the club. And the 33-year-old appears poised to join Major League Soccer (MLS) in what could even be a record fee, potentially surpassing the £22.5m paid by Atlanta United to sign Emmanuel Latte Lath from Middlesbrough in February. The final details of the transfer remain in discussion but his move to LAFC is now considered subject just to the completion of paperwork and a medical. Son, who is under contract with Spurs until 2026, made what is expected to be his final appearance for Tottenham in a 1-1 pre-season friendly against Newcastle in Seoul on Sunday. He was embraced by his Spurs team-mates and the opposing Newcastle players, and they performed a guard of honour when he was substituted in the 65th minute. While Tottenham's pre-season preparations now take them to Germany to face Bayern Munich on Thursday - and a reunion with Harry Kane -Son is expected to enjoy some time in his native South Korea. Arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, Son scored 173 goals in 454 appearances for Tottenham.

Inter Miami provide update on Lionel Messi after suffering hamstring injury against Necaxa
Lionel Messi picked up a hamstring injury during Inter Miami's Leagues Cup penalty shootout win over Club Necaxa. The MLS club has provided an update, saying Messi underwent medical tests to evaluate the extent of the injury. The results confirmed a minor muscle injury in the forward's right leg. The club did not provide a timeline for the 38-year-old's return, but he is expected to miss Miami's next Leagues Cup match against UNAM Pumas on Wednesday. Messi fell to the ground after coming into contact with Necaxa's Raul Sanchez and Alexis Pena early in the game. The Argentine sought medical attention but was forced to leave after 11 minutes, with Federico Redondo subbed on as his replacement. Messi's injury will likely be a big blow for Miami, who are aiming to reach the second round of the Leagues Cup with a positive result against Pumas. The former Barcelona star has been a key player for the Herons this season, scoring 24 goals and providing 10 assists in 31 appearances across all competitions. Miami relied heavily on Messi at the recent FIFA Club World Cup, where he played over 90 minutes in all four matches of the competition. The World Cup winner led his team to Leagues Cup success in 2023, scoring in normal time and converting his penalty in the final against Nashville SC. Stats from Transfermarkt

Hit Show Takes West Virginia Governor's Stakes In Mountaineer Thriller
Hit Show Takes West Virginia Governor's Stakes In Mountaineer Thriller originally appeared on Paulick Report. Hit Show, who earned $6.9 million earlier this year for winning the Dubai World Cup (G1), successfully defended his title in the Sunday's $200,000 West Virginia Governor's Stakes, but it wasn't easy. Though the 5-year-old Candy Ride horse was the morning-line favorite in the field of seven, Not This Boy, fresh off an allowance victory at Churchill Downs, dropped to 3-5 as the pool closed versus 7-5 for Hit Show. The pair hooked up on the far turn of the 1 1/16-mile race and battled through the Mountaineer stretch, with Hit Show winning by a head in 1:43.63. Brad Cox, trainer of Hit Show, won his fifth West Virginia Governor's Stakes. Wathnon Racing's Hit Show, who rated in fourth until making his move heading into the far turn, was ridden by Florent Geroux, who was aboard last year at Mountaineer and for the Dubai World Cup. 'He's a tricky horse to ride, which makes it harder,' Geroux said, noting timing the horse's move is important. 'He's doesn't draw away from horses, but I still thought I had (Not This Boy) measured.' Zimmer Ridge Ranch's Not This Boy, ridden by Luis Saez for trainer Doug Cowans, broke on top from post one and set a measured pace while unchallenged. When the 4-year-old Not This Time gelding was hooked by Hit Show, he dug in and fought to the wire. Cowans said being on the inside of the duel may have hurt Not This Boy's chances, but when asked what he thought of the performance, he said: "He's good.' Jokestar finished third, 7½ lengths behind Not This Boy. Hit Show, now 10-for-20 and a winner of six graded stakes, is the only horse to have won the Governor's Stakes in back-to-back years. M B Sea won the race in 2005 and 2007. Total wagering for the nine-race program at Mountaineer was $2.49 million, up 36% from last year and the second-highest figure since 2015.
