New Texas A&M sharpshooter from Spain has arrived in College Station

Texas A&M's basketball program is in good hands under new head coach Bucky McMillan, who has all but rebuilt a roster that lost every player outside of sophomore forward Chris McDermott after former head coach Buzz Williams departed for Maryland two months ago.
Texas A&M Athletic Director Trev Alberts made the swift and correct decision in taking a chance on the 41-year-old coach, who spent his last five seasons coaching Samford, including leading the Bulldogs to their program's first NCAA Tournament appearance in 20-plus seasons.
Right out of the gate, McMillan landed 12 players from the transfer portal, while securing a commitment from Spanish guard Rubén Domínguez, who is by far one of the best shooters internationally, and could become an instant contributor as soon as the 2025 season.
During his productive career in Spain, Domínguez accumulated 153 games played, 5.7 points per game, 1.4 rebounds, and a .362 field goal percentage. Domínguez also received Spanish ACB Week 13 Player of the Week honors in 2025. Shooting 42% from beyond the arc, the sharpshooter has one of the quickest releases you'll see, similar to former international and Tennessee guard Santiago Véscovi.
This summer, Domínguez was not present for the early part of Texas A&M's summer workouts, but has reportedly arrived in College Station, according to his latest Instagram post.
As TexAgs analyst Luke Evangelist states, forwards Federiko Federiko and Rashaun Agee are the only other two transfer additions yet to arrive. Still, they are expected to arrive in College Station in early July.

Jaden Akins looking for next opportunity following being unselected in NBA Draft
Former Spartan Jaden Akins went unselected in NBA Draft this week -- so what's next for him? Here's the latest on Akins What's next for former Spartans star Jaden Akins? That's still an unanswered question following the NBA Draft. Akins went unselected during the 2025 NBA Draft this week, with the lone Spartan selected being Jase Richardson by the Orlando Magic with the No. 25 overall pick. Akins wasn't expected to be selected in the two rounds of the NBA Draft, but there was always an outside chance someone would take a flier on him. So what's next for Akins now? Well, we should be seeing him picked up by a team as an undrafted free agent ahead of the NBA summer league. Oddly, though, we haven't seen Akins sign anywhere yet -- which I personally expected to happen by the end of the weekend. Akins started all 72 of the Spartans' games over the last two seasons, averaging double-digits in scoring in both years and providing stellar defensive presence as well. He is slightly undersized for the NBA, though, which ultimately hurt his professional stock in the NBA. Akins worked out for a few teams during the pre-draft process, including the Utah Jazz and Milwaukee Bucks, so we should keep our eyes out for either of those teams signing him for summer league play. I anticipate he will be getting a chance to show what he has at the next level during summer league, and we should hopefully hear of a signing in the next week.

Ott DeFoe Wins MLF Bass Pro Tour Zenni Stage 6 at Potomac River Presented by Athletic Brewing Company
CHARLES COUNTY, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 29, 2025-- After a week that saw Tennessee pro Ott DeFoe near the top of SCORETRACKER® leaderboard every day he was on the water, the Tennessee pro finally shot to the top when it mattered most, taking down the Zenni Stage 6 Presented by Athletic Brewing Company Championship Round for his fourth Bass Pro Tour regular-season win and fifth BPT win overall. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Pro Ott DeFoe of Blaine, Tennessee, won the Zenni Stage 6 Presented by Athletic Brewing Company at the Potomac River with a final day catch of 32 bass weighing 78 pounds, 11 ounces, to earn the top prize of $150,000. With a dominant final-day performance, DeFoe stacked up 32 bass for 78 pounds, 11 ounces to beat his closest pursuer in Ron Nelson of Berrien Springs, Michigan by nearly 27 pounds. Nelson finished as the runner-up, his best finish on the Bass Pro Tour since joining the ranks last season. DeFoe is one of the winningest anglers in Bass Pro Tour history, behind only Jacob Wheeler and Dustin Connell, but this marks his first individual win since Heavy Hitters in 2022. It's his first regular season win since 2021 on Florida's Harris Chain of Lakes. He did it in typical DeFoe fashion, too, escaping the bulk of the 66-angler field and fishing far up a creek in the Potomac River backwaters. 'The place where I caught them today was my first stop on the first day of the tournament,' he said. 'I saw them everywhere in practice and knew it had great potential. I had some other places where I could get bites, but with an early boat number on the first day, I had to go and see if I could get there first because it's not a big area.' Fishing the same general area as fellow Championship Round qualifier Keith Carson, both got off to fast starts the first day. "[Carson] was in there with me as well, fishing a little different section, but it was a blistering start on the first day for both of us,' he said. 'I had 40 pounds by noon, but I had a later boat draw the second day, and I drove there and could see some other competitors idling back in there. I opted to turn around and leave and really struggled most of the day and barely made it to the Knockout Round.' DeFoe couldn't make any other areas work but caught enough to advance. He was all-in on the area the final two days and took advantage of the tide schedule to get as far back as possible and reach bass in ultra-shallow water during the high tide, catching many of these fish he visually saw cruising due to the clear water. 'In practice, the best bite was mid-to-lower part of the outgoing tide when the water was really moving; kind of that mid-tide zone to the bottom end of the tide,' he said. 'That's when the bite made the most sense. We only got that the first day of the tournament, though. The high tide was the best for my deal because I could get so much further back. That was the most productive for me, especially today with how high the tide was during the final days of the tournament.' Getting to ultra-shallow water was helped by the tide schedule, and DeFoe believes the recent excessive heat was also a benefit, pushing bass to the shelter in the cooler creeks. 'All of the major tributaries have a lot cooler water because it's flowing, and then you have big pad flats and cover going in for bass to relate to,' he said. 'With the extreme heat we had here, I believe it was a driving factor in why so many bass were up there. It also seemed like new fish were coming every day.' The top 10 at the Zenni Stage 6 Presented by Athletic Brewing Company on the Potomac River finished: 1st: Ott DeFoe, Blaine, Tenn., 32 bass, 78-11, $150,000 2nd: Ron Nelson, Berrien Springs, Mich., 23 bass, 51-13, $45,000 3rd: Bradley Roy, Lancaster, Ky., 20 bass, 44-11, $35,000 4th: Cole Floyd, Leesburg, Ohio, 21 bass, 43-11, $30,000 5th: Zack Birge, Blanchard, Okla., 20 bass, 41-9, $25,000 6th: Adrian Avena, Vineland, N.J., 20 bass, 40-12, $23,000 7th: James Elam, Tulsa, Okla., 18 bass, 36-7, $22,000 8th: Keith Poche, Pike Road, Ala., 15 bass, 35-7, $21,000 9th: Spencer Shuffield, Hot Springs, Ark., 15 bass, 31-1, $20,500 10th: Keith Carson, DeBary, Fla., 14 bass, 30-1, $20,000 A complete list of results can be found at Overall, there were 198 scorable bass caught weighing 434 pounds, 3 ounces, by the final 10 pros on Sunday.

Drake Sends Strong Message After Raptors' Major Decision
Drake Sends Strong Message After Raptors' Major Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Toronto Raptors' offseason was jolted by a surprise announcement just one day after the NBA Draft: long-time president Masai Ujiri is exiting the team. The decision comes on the heels of a disappointing 2024-25 campaign in which the team finished 30-52, missed the playoffs for the third straight year, and missed the play-in tournament. Advertisement Ujiri had led the organization for 13 seasons, becoming the most successful executive in franchise history. Under his leadership, the Raptors posted a regular-season record of 545-419, with eight playoff appearances and the team's only NBA title in 2019. His tenure was marked by a sustained run of winning seasons and significant cultural and on-court achievements. Toronto Raptors Former Vice-Chairman and Team President Masai Ujiri.© John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images Off the court, Ujiri forged strong ties within the city's sports and entertainment circles—most notably through his friendship with rapper Drake. Uriji's partnership with Drake, who has been publicly supportive of his hometown team and has appeared courtside during Raptors games, helped elevate Toronto from a regional team into a global brand. Following the announcement of Ujiri's departure, Drake posted a heartfelt message on his Instagram story: 'My mentor and my friend. The city will miss you. Thank you for an unforgettable 13 years.' Drake's ties to the Raptors run deep. Named the team's global ambassador in 2013, he has been a visible part of the 'We The North' campaign, attended key charity events alongside Ujiri, and routinely made courtside appearances through the championship era and beyond. Advertisement With Ujiri now gone, the Raptors must fill a leadership void at a pivotal moment. General manager Bobby Webster has been retained, with MLSE perhaps set to launch a search for a new team president soon.
