LSU football trending to land one of 2026's top wide receiver recruits
LSU football trending to land one of 2026's top wide receiver recruits
Two prominent On3 writers have logged predictions for LSU football to land one of the top wide receivers in the 2026 recruiting class.
According to Chad Simmons and Steve Wiltfong, LSU is the leader for four-star wide receiver Ethan "Boobie" Feaster. Simmons and Wiltfong made the call as Feaster was finishing up a weekend visit at LSU.
Feaster was originally a member of the 2027 recruiting class before reclassifying to 2026. Despite reclassifying, Feaster remains among the top-ranked players in the class. Per the On3 Industry Rankings, Feaster is the No. 4 ranked recruit at his position. ESPN and Rivals both rank Feaster as the No. 3 wide receiver in the class.
Feaster, a Texas native, plays for DeSoto High School, a Texas football powerhouse. Feaster's recruitment is far from over and LSU will have to fend off the Texas schools who will continue to push for Feaster's services.
LSU's 2026 class currently ranks atop the SEC and No. 3 in the country. Feaster would be the second wide receiver in LSU's class, joining four-star Louisiana product Kenny Darby.

Richard Jefferson wears Doris Burke shirt as announcer is thankful for support amid uncertain ESPN future
Doris Burke is receiving a lot of love this weekend. While at Oklahoma City's Devon Park on Friday for the Women's College World Series between Texas Tech and Texas, Richard Jefferson put out an endorsement for his broadcast partner. He joined the SEC Network pregame show dressed in a 'My Favorite Broadcaster is Doris Burke' shirt while being interviewed by Haylie McCleney, Tori Vidales and Alyssa Lang.

This year marks Burke's second NBA Finals as the lead analyst for ESPN. Jefferson, whom ESPN 'intends' to keep despite being on an expiring contract, per the report, clearly wanted to show that he has Burke's back.

'I saw the things that were leaked yesterday about Doris Burke and I just wanted to say a couple of things. She has changed the game for women in broadcasting,' Carlisle said. 'Doris is a great example of courage and putting herself out there. It was just so sad to see the reports leaked, really unnecessarily, before such a celebrated event. Doris is a friend. I've asked her many times, when is she getting into coaching, because she has such great knowledge. There are many women who she's paved the way for.' 6 Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle speaks to the media after the Pacers defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder during game one of the 2025 NBA Finals at Paycom Center.

'He reached out to me earlier in the day and I just want you guys to consider – I'm going to try not to get emotional here,' Burke said. 'The man is about to coach Game 1 of the NBA Finals, he has absolutely reached the pinnacle of his sport. 'But he took the time to check in on another human being to make sure I was okay. He has always been an enormous supporter of mine. And I just think it speaks to the human being he is. When he walked in that coaches meeting, I always give him a hug, I held him a little bit longer last night.'

With wife on bag, 2015 U.S. Junior champ Philip Barbaree returns to U.S. Open
The key to Philip Barbaree qualifying for the U.S. Open? He married his caddie. Well, let's be clear. The 26-year-old Barbaree first met Chloe Lettau in late 2023. Barbaree, a former standout at LSU and USGA champion, was going on three years having not yet made a world-ranked cut. But then he earned status for last year's Canada swing on PGA Tour Americas, and two events in, with Chloe already in Alberta to watch, Barbaree asked her if she wanted to carry the bag. 'I guess,' responded Chloe, who works in medical sales and had no prior golf experience prior to dating Barbaree. That was good enough for Barbaree, who found a stand bag, made it as light as possible and packed some extra snacks. Then he went out and not only made his first cut but tied for 23rd. 'And this has been our thing ever since,' said Barbaree, who married Chloe on March 1. They celebrated their engagement anniversary in May in Peru with a 33-hole day at about 9,400 feet of elevation. It's been a decade since Barbaree defeated Andrew Orishack in the final of the 2015 U.S. Junior Amateur, where he stormed back from 5 down with eight holes to play at Colleton River to win in 37 holes. 'It one sense it feels like forever ago, and in another it feels like yesterday,' Barbaree says. He enrolled a semester early at LSU in Spring 2017, was teammates with Sam Burns and turned pro a semester early, halfway through his fifth year, in November 2020. In between, he posted the fourth lowest scoring average in Tigers' history along with eight top-5 finishes. After his sophomore season, he qualified for the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, where he shot 82-79 and beat just two players, Michael Block and Scott Gregory. 'I do feel like my game and my mind are leaps and bounds better than they were in 2018,' Barbaree said. Much of that strength came through failure. Barbaree saw just nine starts – and no weekends – on major tours in his first three years as a pro, as he cut his teeth mostly on the mini-tours. He'd be lying if he said he didn't think about changing careers during that first year. In fact, after moving back home to Shreveport following a brief stint in Dallas, Barbaree took a part-time job working for his dad, Phil Sr., who owns Superior Grill, a Mexican restaurant chain that also has locations in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. He lasted just a couple shifts. 'I started at the bottom,' Barbaree recalled. 'Bussing tables, setting tables, having to take in outside furniture. I got sick, I cut my finger, and after a couple long nights I said, I'm not cut out for this. I gotta get back out playing.' Barbaree has always been a prolific putter, and last year he made some improvements with his ball-striking after he started working with Chad Darby, who teaches out of the David Toms Academy in Shreveport. He's done a little bit of offseason speed training with long-driver Jack Smith as well. Barbaree's mental strides can mostly be attributed to Chloe, who now splits her time caddying for her husband and selling CPAP machines. 'Her not being a golfer has probably helped,' Barbaree said. 'She picks up different things than people who are. If I'm being indecisive, she'll realize it and tell me. Somebody who might play golf might try to rationalize it. She'll go, 'Well, it just seemed like you were in between clubs a lot and thinking about it more than usual.' … I feel like we always figure out little things to do better every week. 'And I definitely feel like I enjoy playing golf as much as I ever have.' Barbaree, who is ranked No. 1,000 in the world on the dot, is coming off his best finish on PGA Tour Americas, a T-3 showing in Bogota, Colombia, at the Inter Rapidisimo Golf Championship, which was shortened to 36 holes because of weather. His U.S. Open final qualifier last Monday in West Palm Beach, Florida, was also affected by storms. He was 1 over after 10 holes before rallying to card a first-round, 3-under 69 at Emerald Dunes. Then he birdied four of his first five holes of the second round before play was suspended for the day. He returned to fire a closing 64 and share medalist honors at 11 under. Now, the question is, will Chloe have to carry a tour bag around Oakmont? 'Absolutely not,' Barbaree said with a laugh. He knows the U.S. Open is as much a test of endurance, both physically and mentally, as it is an examination of all 14 clubs. Seven years ago, he wore himself out playing practice rounds and arrived on the first tee that Thursday gassed. He also understands how crucial it is to keep Chloe on the bag. Said Barbaree: 'We're not breaking up the team any time soon.'
