RGIII lauds Michigan's 2026 WR commit Jayden Pile as hidden gem with big potential
When it comes to the nonspecialists in the 2026 Michigan football recruiting class, the longest-tenured pledge is the lowest rated. Yet, he's getting praise and accolades from a prolific name in college football. Once the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor, Robert Griffin III went onto the NFL before becoming a broadcaster for college football games, initially with ESPN. Griffin now has a 7-on-7 team, which features Dallas (Tx.) Parish Episcopal three-star wide receiver Jayden Pile, who has been the longest-committed player to the Wolverines 2026 class. Though he didn't get much hype, he's been pivotal in putting together the class, and on the field, despite some not loving his game, RGIII appears to not be among them. On Wednesday, RGIII posted on X (formerly Twitter) about how good he believes Pile is, unabated, noting that the maize and blue faithful will be happy with his ability once he arrives on campus. Michigan has had a knack for finding players who fly under the radar only to thrive once in Ann Arbor. It wouldn't be terribly surprising to see similar results for Pile, who is currently rated the No. 1,142 player in the country and the 173rd-best wide receiver. Even though he's been committed to Michigan since last year, Pile often gets overshadowed by his two wide receiver commit compatriots in four-stars Travis Johnson and Zion Robinson. But as we've seen, often, the Wolverines tend to do more with less -- though they have been in desperate need for top-tier wide receiver talent.

Michigan football's Jaylen Pile stuns with clutch OT7 catch for 2026 class
🫨🫨🫨@RGIII @CAT_TAKEOVER @overtime @carebearkieran Michigan football is on a recruiting heater at the moment, adding an incredible amount of top talent to the 2026 class over the past several weeks. But what about those who stayed and have been a part of the class since the beginning? Dallas (Tx.) Parish Episcopal three-star wide receiver Jaylen Pile was the second commitment to the class, and though he isn't as celebrated as other commits and targets, he's still a ball player. And he made sure the nation remembered that on Friday night. Taking part in the OT7 tournament with the team RGIII Takeover, Pile's group was facing insurmountable odds and needed an onside 'kick' in order to come back against C1N, down three points. The sophomore quarterback loaded for bear while Pile took off on a post route, outran the defenders, and when the pass ended up being in the breadbasket, Pile came down with the catch, with two feet inbounds, in the back of the endzone. Though he might not be as ballyhooed as some of the other committed prospects, Pile has repeatedly shown that he's a playmaker, and he's been a voracious recruiter for the Wolverines, to boot. Pile is expected to play slot receiver for the maize and blue when he arrives in Ann Arbor. He is currently one of two committed pass catchers in the 2026 class, with the other being four-star Zion Robinson, who pledged to the program earlier in the week. Michigan is favored to land at least one more, if not two receivers, in Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Smith four-star Travis Johnson, and Miami (Fla.) Northwestern five-star Calvin Russell.

Pile Announce New Album and North American Tour, Unveil Single 'Born at Night': Stream
The post Pile Announce New Album and North American Tour, Unveil Single 'Born at Night': Stream appeared first on Consequence. Pile have announced a new album, Sunshine and Balance Beams, arriving August 15th via new label home Sooper Records. The Boston act also detailed a 2025 North American tour and shared the LP's lead single 'Born at Night.' The band will be supporting the LP with an extensive late-summer/fall tour with new label mate and Sooper Records co-founder NNAMDÏ. The trek runs from August 21st in Portland, Maine, through a hometown finale gig on October 11th in Boston, and includes stops in Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, Dallas, and New York City, among other markets. Get Pile Tickets Here Tickets go on sale Friday (May 16th) at 10 a.m. local time, with select dates available via Ticketmaster, and other shows available via local venue links on the band's website. The album's lead single 'Born at Night' builds from a calm underbelly of twinkling guitars, as rolling toms and a swell of strings signal a crescendo near the song's halfway mark. Singer Rick Maguire's imitable drawl also rises as he belts out the titular refrain: 'I was born at night.' Lyrically, the track 'wrestles with the idea that there is no enlightenment, no end to suffering,' per Pile's press release, a concept mirrored by the song's stark, black-and-white music video, which was directed by Josh Echevarria. 'The fulfillment I receive from pursuing art has been a guiding force for me,' said Maguire of the new album. 'But it can be damaging when that pursuit subscribes to material expectations of where you might be able to go, and then doesn't square with the reality that follows.' Pre-order Sunshine and Balance Beams on vinyl, CD, and cassette via Sooper Records. Below you can watch the video for 'Born at Night' and see the album art and tracklist. Artwork: Tracklist: 01.

B.C. conservation officer denies allegations from hunting show host
Article content The conservation officer sued for $2.4 million by a hunting TV host channel has denied all allegations that he maliciously and compulsively harassed the hunter, causing him to lose his YouTube channel and sponsorships. Article content Michel Beaulieu, who referred to himself as a hunter, TV personality and businessman, filed the lawsuit in March against Wyatt Pile and the B.C. Conservation Officer Service, alleging a harassment campaign that included the officer posing as a buyer for his Kelowna house. Article content Article content The lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court alleges Pile began harassing Beaulieu in 2020, after the hunter illegally shared a hunting tag with his wife during a bear kill. Article content Article content A subsequent two-year investigation by B.C. and Alberta wildlife officers resulted in more than $25,000 in fines against the couple after the seizure of unlawfully killed wildlife at six locations in both provinces, Alberta wildlife officials have said in online posts. Article content Beaulieu alleged Pile 'seemed to become obsessed … and started targeting Beaulieu,' watching his YouTube videos, calling him several times and threatening him with more charges, according to his lawsuit. Article content The defendants denied all the allegations in a recent court filing. Article content The filing said Pile became involved in Beaulieu's case after Alberta wildlife officers in 2020 investigated the man for the suspected unlawful killing of a bighorn sheep. Article content Article content The Alberta officers suspected Beaulieu was falsely claiming residency in Alberta and B.C. to obtain hunting licences in both provinces, contrary to the B.C. Wildlife Act, which led to an B.C. investigation with Pile as lead investigator, it said. Article content Article content It said Pile watched an episode of Alpine Carnivore on Beaulieu's YouTube channel that showed he and his wife hunting a black bear near Salmon Arm in May 2020, during which his wife shot the bear and killed it while sharing Beaulieu's licence, which is against the law. Article content Pile said in the court document that the charges for hunting without a licence, using the licence of another person, allowing the licence to be used by another person and possessing dead wildlife without a licence were the four charges that were approved, and the couple entered a guilty plea in a plea bargain with prosecutors.

Devon hygienist builds mobile dental unit in 34-year-old caravan
A dental hygienist from Devon has converted a caravan into a mobile dental clinic to help people who struggle to attend appointments at surgeries. Former Royal Air Force (RAF) dental hygienist Tara Pile bought the 1991 Compass Shadow in October and finished converting the caravan in February. The vehicle had leaking windows and a rotten floor which were replaced before clinical equipment was installed that needed to be signed off for dental use. She said the mobile clinic allowed her to be "much more versatile" and do dentistry in people's homes. Mrs Pile has been a hygienist for 20 years and said she had an image in her mind of how she wanted it to look. "I bought her and my husband freaked out when I took it home and told him I was going to convert it into a dental clinic," she said. "I knew what was needed, it was just trying to geographically pop it in here."The caravan, now named Flossy, is equipped with a sterilisation unit, an ultrasonic bath and taps which can be operated by people's elbows. "Because it's a basic surgery, you'd need a chair and you need a portable dental unit, but also you need sterilisation circuit, so everything has to run from dirty to clean," she said. "We don't need a lot of kit, but you do need the specific equipment to have it clinically ready to go." Mrs Pile, who is registered with the General Dental Council and has her services regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), said mobile dental care was a small industry but it could help people have healthier teeth. She said: "We can make it more accessible and less inconvenient. "Clinics are busy and they're booking nine to five every day, but sometimes people need to be seen of an evening or weekend - that's where he can come in. "We can come to your own home and treat the family in one sitting rather than having to do four or five trips."Although she does not provide emergency dental care, Mrs Pile said she hoped to make two more versions of Flossy to cover Devon, Cornwall and further afield.
