Clemson hits big landing 4-star 2027 quarterback Kharim Hughley commits to Clemson
Hughley announced his commitment to Clemson Thursday morning, just days after picking up an offer during Dabo Swinney's high school camp — his first visit to campus. The Gainesville standout, who shares an alma mater with Clemson legend Deshaun Watson, is rated as high as the No. 92 overall prospect and the No. 4 dual-threat QB in the class (ESPN).
He's already built a strong connection with quarterbacks coach Tajh Boyd and offensive coordinator Garrett Riley. 'It's been really good to be able to talk to both Coach Boyd from a player's perspective, if that makes sense,' Hughley told Tigernet. 'He played there, he recruited another famous quarterback out of my school, so I just kind of got a little bit of a connection there. And then Coach Riley, obviously he's the coach, OC, he's a really good coach. I like the way he coaches, and he's not self-centered, if that makes sense. He's willing to learn from everybody else that's around him, if that makes sense. And I really like that about him.
As a sophomore, Hughley passed for 2,543 yards with 22 touchdowns to just two interceptions, adding three scores on the ground. He joins four-star linebacker Sam Brown as Clemson's second commitment for the 2027 cycle.

ESPN ranks Ravens above Eagles for best 2025 starting lineup
The post ESPN ranks Ravens above Eagles for best 2025 starting lineup appeared first on ClutchPoints. With the Baltimore Ravens entering the 2025 season, there is no doubt that the team will be under a lot of pressure and high expectations to compete for a Super Bowl. As ESPN listed Ravens star Lamar Jackson lower than people thought on their quarterback rankings, the same outlet had them No. 1 in the starting lineup rankings, even over the Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles. ESPN analyst Mike Clay would speak about Baltimore being the No. 1 team, speaking about their strengths and weaknesses, along with the X-factors and nonstarters to know about. Funny enough, he would label the strength of the team being the quarterbacks in Jackson and saying that Cooper Rush is a 'solid backup,' while a weakness for the team is the guard spots on the offensive line. 'Lamar Jackson, an All-Pro in each of the past two seasons and the NFL MVP in 2019 and 2023, is one of the best in the business,' Clay wrote. 'He fell just short of his second consecutive MVP last season even though he led the league in QBR (77.3) and produced career-high marks in passing yards (4,172) and passing touchdowns (41, the second most in the league).' 'New year, same 'weakness' for a roster that is otherwise pretty stacked,' Clay continued. 'On the left side, Patrick Mekari is out and will be replaced by Andrew Vorhees, Ben Cleveland, or perhaps a rookie. Daniel Faalele returns on the right side after underwhelming as a run blocker and ranking among the worst in the league in run block win rate (71.8%).' ESPN explains why the Eagles are under the Ravens While the Ravens prepare for training camp, the team that rivals them as the top team in the league, according to ESPN, is the Eagles, who dominated the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. As for their strengths, Clay would have offensive tackle, which makes sense since the team's offensive line is one of the best units every season, whereas edge rusher is a weakness for Philadelphia. 'The defending champs have many strengths, but it's tough to beat arguably the league's top tackle duo, with Jordan Mailata manning the left side and Lane Johnson on the right,' Clay wrote. 'Mailata ranked among the top tackles in PFF grade, pass block win rate, and run block win rate in both 2023 and 2024. Johnson is 35 years old but hasn't lost a step, ranking top 10 among tackles in pass and run block win rate last season.' 'Josh Sweat (free agency), Brandon Graham (retirement) and Bryce Huff (trade) are all gone, leaving Nolan Smith Jr. as the only established player on the depth chart,' Clay continued about the team's weakness. 'Smith is likely to be joined in the starting lineup by 2024 third-rounder Jalyx Hunt, who was a solid backup as a rookie.' It remains to be seen if ESPN's rankings will come true with the Ravens on top over the Eagles.

MLB rumors: What ‘complicates' Phillies' Emmanuel Clase trade pursuit
The post MLB rumors: What 'complicates' Phillies' Emmanuel Clase trade pursuit appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Cleveland Guardians are hovering around the .500 mark. It remains to be seen if they will trade star closer Emmanuel Clase. If the Guardians decide to trade Clase, the Philadelphia Phillies could pursue a deal for the closer. Jeff Passan of ESPN recently revealed a possible complication in the event that the Phillies do try to trade for Clase, though. Passan, in a recent article, mentioned that Philadelphia features an impressive farm system full of promising prospects. The ESPN insider is not convinced that the Phillies would be willing to surrender top prospects given their current situation. 'Still, with the Phillies entering a transition phase over the next few years, they aren't likely to sacrifice all of their depth,' Passan wrote. 'That complicates their tack at this deadline, because they are among the few teams with the need and capacity to acquire a pitcher of Clase's talent. Same goes for Cade Smith, another Guardian, and the Twins' two frontline relievers, Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax.' Clase being linked to Philadelphia certainly makes sense. The common assumption in the MLB world is that the Phillies feature enough prospect capital to get the job done. The primary complication had been the Guardians' willingness to trade Clase. Now, it appears there is more to the situation. The Phillies will likely continue to be linked to Clase until the trade deadline. A deal would not necessarily shock anyone in the MLB world. However, the chances of a trade coming to fruition still seem to be rather slim. The Phillies currently lead the National League East with a 58-43 record. The 58-44 New York Mets trail Philadelphia by just a half-game in the standings, though. Adding an impactful reliever such as Emmanuel Clase could prove to be the difference in the division. Philadelphia will have a difficult decision to make.

Golden State Warriors reportedly hold \
The Golden State Warriors are yet to make an addition to the roster this summer. Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Joe Lacob are likely tied up in negotiations with Jonathan Kuminga, whose unrestricted free agency has turned into the biggest saga of the offseason. According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, Seth Curry is drawing "mutual interest" with the Warriors. Adding the sharpshooter would put both Curry brothers on the same team, while also giving Steve Kerr's second unit one of the most trusty sharpshooters the NBA has to offer. "They want some extra shooting," Slater said via a recent episode of ESPN's NBA Today. "And another name i'm hearing, with mutual interest, Seth Curry as a potential bench shooting option with a family ties." Curry played in 68 games for the Charlotte Hornets last season, averaging 6.5 points and 1.7 rebounds per outing. However, it was his efficiency that caught the eye, with him shooting 45.6% from deep on 2.7 attempts each game. He also shot 50.3% from 2-point range. The Warriors would likely welcome some additional floor spacing off the bench. Furthermore, Curry could be available at the minimum, which would make him a cost-controlled addition with significant upside. Of course, other teams around the NBA could also covet the shooting he brings, so it will remain to be seen whether the Warriors firm up their reported interest and sign him to a year in the Bay Area.
