Georgia Facing Uncertainty With Star Playmaker Amid Recruiting Rumors
The Georgia Bulldogs have received positive recruiting updates from a lot of different prospects lately. But things may still be up in the air with one four-star wide receiver. Rivals' Adam Gorney suggested Thursday that the Bulldogs could be in line to get a commitment from Milton, Georgia native and four-star receiver Craig Dandridge. But that is also not guaranteed. Advertisement "Dandridge's recruitment could still go in a lot of ways with Georgia, Florida, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Stanford, Oklahoma and Clemson standing out the most for the four-star receiver from Milton (Ga.) Cambridge," wrote Gorney. "If Dandrige is looking for things on and off the field, especially in academics, then the Cardinal could be a surprise pick here since he loved seeing those options on his weekend visit. "Still, there are many other considerations as the Bulldogs are always tough to turn down." Georgia Bulldogs football head coach Kirby Smart© Dale Zanine-Imagn Images While Gorney's portrayed the receiver's recruiting process with a lot of uncertainty, On3's Jeremy Johnson had a more positive update this week for Georgia. Advertisement "Dandridge has felt the love in Athens. He talks to Georgia wide receiver coach James Coley every day. Coley was in attendance for Dandridge's spring game on Thursday," wrote Johnson on Wednesday. "Dandridge feels good about the bond he's built with Coley." The receiver also told Johnson that the Bulldogs are at the top of his recruiting board. According to the 247 Sports composite rankings, Dandridge is the No. 48 wide receiver in the 2026 class. The wideout is also the 38th-ranked Georgia recruit and No. 310 overall prospect in the class. The Bulldogs already have two receiver commitments for the 2026 class – four-star wideout Vance Spafford and three-star recruit Brady Marchese. Related: Highly Touted Star Puts Georgia on Notice

At the 2025 Met Gala, Keke Palmer Channels the First Black Oscar Nominee for Best Actress
Keke Palmer always knew what she wanted her 2025 Met Gala look—designed by Vera Wang—to be. First and foremost, the actor was resolute in her desire to pay tribute to Dorothy Dandridge, who, in 1954, became the first-ever Black Academy Award nominee for best actress for her role in Carmen Jones. 'Much of [the look] was about the weight of Black dandyism and how it has been used to activate and reshape narratives,' Palmer tells Vogue. 'I wanted to zero in on an inspiration of someone who did that in media from the start, and that was Dorothy Dandridge.' Not only was Dandridge a talented actor (she also earned a Golden Globes nomination for her role in Porgy and Bess), she was also a regular performer at some of New York City's most legendary venues, including the Apollo Theater and the Cotton Club. But during her life, Dandridge was subject to racism within the entertainment industry—including losing Black roles to white actors who performed them in blackface, and being passed over for lead roles opposite white men—prompting her to get involved with the NAACP and the National Urban League. 'After seeing her in Carmen Jones, I completely related to Keke's fascination with her,' Wang says. 'Dorothy represented, in parallel, a true moment for African American success and recognition in Hollywood, and this concept felt entirely authentic to both of us.' WWD/Getty Images Courtesy of Vera Wang Palmer was keen on honoring Wang's house codes in her sartorial homage to Dandridge, allowing the two to land on a feminine interpretation of men's suiting—with embellishments galore. 'From the start, it was truly a meeting of the minds,' Wang says. The look is composed of four separate pieces: a fitted ivory silk faille bodice was outfitted with a lapel neckpiece, which she wore with a pair of black pinched-seam tuxedo pants fabricated in Italian silk and wool radzmire. Over the trousers, she wears a sweeping, bubble-hemmed ball skirt, embroidered with Swarovski crystals and glass pearls. 'Story-wise, it's about a Black beauty who used said beauty and fashion to open doors. That, to me, is Black dandyism at its core from an impact standpoint,' Palmer says of the look. 'We also took the tailoring into account and paid homage to the male tuxedo, which was fun because I love playing with the masculine and feminine.'
