Texas Longhorns score talented former Stanford WR from transfer portal
Texas Longhorns score talented former Stanford WR from transfer portal Texas has signed a key target from the transfer portal. Former Stanford wide receiver Emmett Mosley V has committed to the Longhorns. The 6'2" freshman made his decision soon after visiting Austin this weekend. Before choosing to go to Stanford, Mosely was a three-star recruit in the 2024 class. He received offers from Alabama, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, USC, Georgia, LSU, and Penn State. Mosley entered the portal on April 3 after Stanford fired coach Troy Taylor on March 25. The transfer portal opens for 30 days whenever a head coach leaves their program, allowing athletes to leave and decide on their future, according to NCAA guidelines. During his freshman year, the former Cardinal made the most of his opportunities, hauling in 48 catches for 525 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. Mosley's best performance came against No. 19 Louisville, where he finished with 13 catches for 168 yards and three touchdowns and earned ACC Rookie of the Week. Wide receiver is a key position of need for Texas coach Steve Sarkisian. "Naturally, there are a couple of positions depth-wise where we're not where we need to be right now," Sarkisian said. "We'll look at the portal that way. Our numbers are down at receiver right now from a scholarship standpoint. Our numbers are down on the defensive line from where our numbers really should be. And our number's really down at tight end. It's not a secret that we'll look to the portal, but I don't want to take a guy just for a number."

Cooper Flagg returned for the second half of Duke victory despite injury to his eye
Coach Jon Scheyer described the injury as a bruised eyelid. The subject was personal for Scheyer, a Duke alum whose professional career ended overseas because of an eye injury. 'As a basketball player, you don't think about injuring your eye,' Scheyer said. 'That doesn't cross your mind. I had never seen him look scared. I thought he was scared at first, rightfully so, because you don't know how serious or permanent. … I was really nervous about him."

He was back on the court for the first 12 minutes of the second half, finishing the game with 16 points on 5-for-9 shooting. He wasn't made available to speak to reporters after the game. 'He had some vision issues in the first half and tested it out and he said he was good to go, and he was. … He's so tough,' Scheyer said. 'His mom is yelling at him to rebound and defend if he's going back in the game, so I didn't have to say a whole lot.' Classmate Kon Knueppel said he was surprised Flagg was in action for the second half. 'To see him go down and stays down that worries you a little bit,' Knueppel said. 'Just a couple of scratches on his face.' For James, it was another example of the aura around Flagg. 'That's not the craziest thing we've seen him do all year,' James said.
