Rivals Five-Star: Breaking down the wide receivers
INDIANAPOLIS – The stars came out for the 2025 Rivals Five-Star event at the Indianapolis Colts' facility this week. Here we break down the top receivers from the event. MORE FROM INDY: Highlights and analysis | Teams that should be pleased | Gorney Awards | Biggest surprises | Flip watch | QB analysis | RB analysis RECRUITING INTEL: Mid-South | Florida | West | Southeast | Midwest RIVALS FIVE-STAR MEDIA DAY: All the news, notes and interviews | The All-Lobby Team | How solid are the commitments? | Roster RIVALS FIVE-STAR INTERVIEWS: Jaden O'Neal | Trae Taylor | Chase Calicut | Samu Moala | Jake Kreul | Felix Ojo | Peyton Houston | CJ Sadler | Richard Wesley | JaReylan McCoy | Carter Scruggs | Nolan Wilson | Carson Sneed | Derrek Cooper | Devin Carter | Jayden Wade | Joel Wyatt | Kaden Henderson | Nick Abrams The five-star Ohio State commit gets better every time I see him. His impressive track speed is what everyone knows about. But his ability to run crisp routes, create separation and catch the ball continue to get better. That's a scary proposition for opposing defenses. Advertisement Many programs including Tennessee are trying to move him off his commitment to Ohio State. It'll be tough to do so as long as coach Brian Hartline is on staff. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH OHIO STATE FANS AT Gregory is a consistent performer at every event. He just makes plays. The Texas A&M commitment is a crafty route runner that gets just enough separation on his routes. But his calling card is his hands. Gregory rarely drops a pass and we didn't see it happen again during the Rivals Five-Star. Coach Mike Elko will have a very dependable weapon in his offense. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH TEXAS A&M FANS AT The IMG Academy star was one of the youngest players in attendance but made a huge impact. He won the fastest man competition, beating everyone in the finals. McFarland was consistently open during the one-on-ones and 7-on-7 portion of camp. Advertisement He's a name the country will know about in short order. Sadler was one of the bigger surprises of camp. We knew he was good but no one saw it coming that he'd be able to get open with such ease against some of the best defensive backs in the country. The Michigan native is electric in the slot and took home MVP honors. North Carolina has the momentum in this recruitment. But Colorado, Maryland, Michigan and Michigan State are still in the hunt for him.

Don't let the Dallas Wings' record fool you: Paige Bueckers' rookie season is phenomenal
The Dallas Wings have been mostly off the radar to start the 2025 WNBA season, after a massive offseason overhaul left them short of their expectations in the win column. But the lack of overall team success has obscured an otherwise impressive campaign from Paige Bueckers. The No. 1 draft pick is quietly having one of the best rookie seasons in league history. The offensive creation, ease in the half court and tough shot-making that defined Bueckers' UConn career have all quickly translated to the pro level. Her averages of 17.7 points and 5.8 assists are both in the top 15 league-wide. Advertisement 'Everybody knows Paige is elite,' All-Star guard Arike Ogunbowale said of her teammate. 'Being a point guard in this league is already tough, but being a rookie point guard is even tougher, and I think she's been handling the pressure really well and just leading our team really well.' As was the case in college for Bueckers, it starts with the midrange. She is supremely confident and smooth at beating defenders to her spots at the elbows, creating space with a jab and elevating for the jumper. Bueckers has been devastatingly effective in that zone; defenders know where she wants to go, and they still can't stop her. The average WNBA player takes 10 percent of her shots between 10 and 16 feet — Bueckers has attempted 31.4 percent of her field goals from the midrange and made 58.2 percent, making her the highest-volume midrange scorer in the league. Since defenses are forced to collapse to the free-throw line when Bueckers has the ball, it opens up the wings for Bueckers to kick out to shooters. Nearly half of Bueckers' assists in the half court (44.2 percent) are for 3-pointers, and Dallas guards can drive off of closeouts if the contest comes. Bueckers is an equal-opportunity distributor; although she ranks 10th in the WNBA in total assists, no individual assist combination ranks in the top 25 in the league. She has double-digit assists to three of her teammates (Ogunbowale, Maddy Siegrist and DiJonai Carrington) and has assisted five of her teammates on at least three 3s this season. About the only flaw in Bueckers' offensive game has been her own 3-point shooting. She is making 30.8 percent of her triples, below the league average of 33.1. Threes aren't a huge part of Bueckers' shot profile, but by subsisting on mostly 2-pointers, her efficiency, which was a hallmark of her collegiate production, is closer to average than excellent. Advertisement When Bueckers is connecting from long range — she was a 42 percent 3-point shooter at UConn — there isn't much that can be done. Her best game to date came against the Phoenix Mercury when she canned five triples in a 35-point, six-rebound, four-assist outing, becoming the first rookie since A'ja Wilson to score at least 35 on 65-plus percent shooting. That game also produced Bueckers' best highlight of the season, when she Eurostepped past Lexi Held for an off-balance finger roll. Paige Bueckers 35 points on 19 shots last night. This bucket was nice. [image or embed] — Steph Noh (@ June 12, 2025 at 9:10 AM Even in defeat, Bueckers earned high praise from Mercury All-Star Alyssa Thomas. '(Bueckers) is a hooper,' Thomas said. 'She just controls the game so well. The sky's the limit for her.' Like most rookies, Bueckers' defense lags behind her offense, but that doesn't mean it isn't impactful. She is top-20 in the WNBA in blocks and steals, even as she toes the line of what constitutes a foul as a pro. The roster construction in Dallas means Bueckers has to be on the ball more often than in help, and navigating screens has been a learning experience. Although the Wings largely have been unsuccessful defensively, Bueckers isn't a liability, and the defense gets 7.5 points per 100 worse with her off the court. Since Bueckers' return from her concussion and subsequent illness, Dallas has strung together more competent performances. The Wings are 3-2 in their last five games, both losses coming by single digits in the final minute. Executing in crunch time is the next frontier for Bueckers, as she is converting 22.2 percent of her field-goal attempts in clutch situations (the final minutes when the score is within five points). Her game-tying jumper to force overtime against the Washington Mystics was a rare exception, but even that was canceled out by a missed layup in the extra session that would have given Dallas a lead. Nevertheless, it's hard to quibble too much with a player who is leading her team in points and assists, and poised to join a group of 15 players in WNBA history who have averaged at least 15 points and five assists per game during the regular season. Bueckers would be the second rookie to do so, joining Caitlin Clark. Advertisement Perhaps it's the shadow cast by last year's Rookie of the Year that has dimmed Bueckers' present accomplishments. A year ago, Bueckers' statistics would have been historic; now, she's merely following a pattern of first-year excellence, and even falling a little short of the bar Clark set. Maybe the current generation of college stars will continue to adjust to the WNBA at a rapid pace and produce at All-Star levels early in their careers. Or maybe Bueckers, like Clark before her, is a special talent who should be recognized as such, a relative rarity even in a star-studded era.

America Hugged The Oklahoma City Thunder And The Indiana Pacers (Sort Of)
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA - JUNE 22: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander #2 of the Oklahoma City Thunder speaks ... More to the press after defeating the Indiana Pacers 103-91 in Game Seven of the 2025 NBA Finals at Paycom Center on June 22, 2025 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this photograph, User is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo by) Wait. What? So Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder (you know, two teams from the middle of nowhere) was the most-watched game for the league in six years? Yep. We've entered a new era of sports, especially in the NBA, where even the non-traditional powers can hold the attention of the masses. Well, maybe not. Excluding the pandemic seasons of 2020 and 2021, this was the least-watched NBA Finals overall since 2007, when the boring San Antonio Spurs of Tim 'The Big Fundamental' Duncan swept a Cleveland Cavaliers team not ready for prime time with a raw LeBron James at 22. We've got a contradiction here. Even so, let's start with those positive TV vibes generated by Sunday's Game 7 with an average of 16.35 viewers on ABC and ESPN+. Who says America couldn't care less about a world championship series between teams from states more popular for wheat (Oklahoma) and corn (Indiana) than producing NBA teams with national appeal? Think about this: Early in the first quarter of Sunday's Game 7, Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton tore the Achilles tendon in his right leg, but few viewers reached for the remote. They stayed close to their screen from the Haliburton injury through the Thunder's surge in the fourth quarter toward a 104-91 victory for their first world championship in franchise history. Just so you know, No. 2 on the list of most-watched NBA games since 2019 involved some of the league's big boys. It was Game 6 of the 2022 finals, which drew an average of 13.99 million viewers when the Boston Celtics of Jayson Tatum played the Golden State Warriors of Stephen Curry. Such star power had an average of nearly three million fewer viewers than those for Sunday's Game 7. Sunday's Game 7 also peaked at 19.3 million viewers, and if you go by 'The seven-game series accounted for the seven most-watched primetime television programs over the past two months.' Take that, Los Angeles, with your who's who of Lakers, ranging from Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain to all of those Showtime people, and then to Kobe and sidekick Shaq before jumping to the older LeBron. New York? Fugetaboutit. A slew of folks wanted the Knicks to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since the 1990s, and it wasn't just because they were into Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and all things orange and blue. It also was because they were suggesting, with their help, the Nielsen ratings would rise like crazy featuring the Knicks versus anybody compared to something like a Thunder-Pacers snoozer. They were wrong. At least for Sunday's Game 7. LILLE, FRANCE - JULY 28: LeBron James #6 of Team United States drives to the basket against Team ... More Serbia during the second half of the Men's Group Phase - Group C game between Serbia and the United States on day two of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Stade Pierre Mauroy on July 28, 2024 in Lille, France. (Photo by) Perhaps you know about the East Coast media machine. From the Statue of Liberty, that machine stretches west to Philadelphia and Washington D.C., north to Boston and then to wherever the older LeBron plays. It turns (mythically not actually) mediocre teams in those cities into spectacular ones and spectacular ones into something that makes the rest of us which to leave the planet to avoid the hype. Sunday's Game 7 proved America isn't obsessed with creations from that East Coast media machine, or even with the older LeBron. The same goes for Curry and his Golden State Warriors, or with any team featuring Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic or others on list of the 10 most viewed players this season on social and digiital media. For the Thunder-Pacers series, Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the only player for both teams on that top ten list. He was splendid during the NBA Finals. After Gilgeous-Alexander finished as the league's top scorer and most valuable player, he grabbed MVP honors for the finals. He also joined his Oklahoma City teammates in making the Thunder resemble a Bobby Knight or a Coach K team in search of Final Four glory by playing suffocating defense throughout the regular season and playoffs. The Pacers were the masters of the comeback. Even without Haliburton for much of Sunday's Game 7, the Pacers stayed competitive into the fourth quarter. With Haliburton in the previous games, they were often unstoppable with their long-range shooting. They also flashed enough defense to ignore their heavy underdog tag to make this an entertaining NBA Finals before Sunday's Game 7. Not that America cared. Actually, it just took a while.
