STILLWATER — Oklahoma State men's basketball coach Steve Lutz completed his staff with the addition of Dana Valentine, as reported Tuesday.

Valentine, who was a running back in college at Worcester (Massachusetts) State University, began his basketball coaching career at Notre Dame Prep, as well as with the AAU New England.
From 2018-23, he was the varsity head coach and an assistant on the prep team at Putnam Science Academy in Connecticut — the same school that produced OSU incoming freshman center Ben Ahmed.
The addition of Valentine fills the final vacancy on Lutz's staff after two coaches departed in recent weeks. Lutz also added Lou Gudino from Ball State last week.

Eagles fans won't appreciate a former Cowboy's prediction about the top QB in the NFC East
ESPN analyst and former Cowboys star Marcus Spears says Jayden Daniels will be the best QB in the NFC East ahead of Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, and Russell Wilson. Some may not want to admit this, but while watching the Washington Commanders march through the most recent NFL season, something became obvious relatively early. The Philadelphia Eagles' rivals are on their way. They may not have elevated themselves to equal footing with the Birds yet, but there's a chance they'll cause a few issues. Seeing the Commanders catapult themselves into the NFC Championship Game offered a rude awakening. Washington's rise might be nearer than previously expected. Still, while most saw the postgame handshake between Jalen Hurts and Jayden Daniels as a congratulatory gesture, one of ESPN's finest thinks he saw a passing of the torch. Welcome to Marcus Spears' wild NFC East theory It wouldn't be sports talk without prognostication. It wouldn't be ESPN without controversy. Recently, the NFL Live crew found itself engaged in a conversation about the NFC East's quarterbacks. The names are familiar: Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, Jayden Daniels, and Russell Wilson. Former Cowboys star Marcus Spears shared an unexpected expectation about one of them. He expects Daniels to be the best offensive signal-caller in the division soon. Well, at least he didn't cast his vote for Dak Prescott, but something else is afoot here. Where does this refusal to give Jalen Hurts the proper respect come from? He wasn't mentioned at all in Spears' theory, but if we're talking about making plays 'off-script', few do so better than Hurts. Here's another nugget, or several. While every starting quarterback in the NFC East is interesting, albeit for different reasons, two have appeared in two Super Bowls. One of those two has been so unimpressive and inconsistent for so long that few can recall when he was still effective. You all can argue among yourselves about which guy we're discussing, but here's a hint. It's Russell Wilson. Spears and everyone else who loves Daniels aren't wrong about his potential. It's just seemingly off-base to promote him to the first chair in a division where one of the game's best reigns supreme. Daniels was phenomenal in his first year, but now he has to repeat that success. Let's see how he does in year two at the helm, and once we rule out the possibility of a sophomore jinx, then we can reassess.

A lacrosse champion five times over, from Dover-Sherborn to Middlebury, Hope Shue reflects on a legacy of winning
Related : A two-time NESCAC Player of the Year and three-time IWLCA First Team All-American, she earned NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player honors for the third time this year. Middlebury coach Kate Livesay called Shue a once-in-a-lifetime player. 'She brings an incredible work ethic and intensity to everything she does,' she said. 'She chases greatness with a competitive spirit and deep love for her teammates.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Added fellow Middlebury senior Maggie Coughlin, a Notre Dame (Hingham) graduate from Hanover, 'As a teammate, Hope is able to balance competitive fire with positivity and fun.' Advertisement She joined NFL quarterback, and North Dakota State alum Carson Wentz, as the only NCAA student-athletes to win at least four national championships and three Elite 90 awards — given to the athlete with the top GPA at each of the NCAA's final championship sites. We chatted with Shue to learn about her lacrosse journey. How did you first discover lacrosse, and what drew you to the sport? I think I started lacrosse around fourth grade, maybe a little bit earlier in the backyard. A lot of my family played lacrosse. My older sister played, my mom played. It was just something I felt like I was going to try. I think lacrosse is particularly difficult for young girls to get into, especially back then, because it's so hard to catch and throw with the sticks back then and the eye-hand coordination of a 9-year-old. I was initially more Advertisement Hope Shue initially hoped to play Division 1 women's lacrosse, but it all worked out with four national championships at Middlebury. Courtesy Sideline Media How did your experience at Dover-Sherborn prepare you for college, and what are some of your favorite memories? It was a really epic run at D-S. My coach, Erin Massimi, was my club coach all through middle school. I was really excited when she got the job when I was going into ninth grade. We really were kind of a Cinderella story over the course of the four years. We got pretty beat up by a lot of teams the first year. We only had a 13-person roster, so we had basically one sub on the sidelines . . . By our senior year, we were one of the strongest teams in the entire state, regardless of division, and had a really amazing run to a state championship. Some of my fondest memories in sports are that spring season, playing with my best friends for the town that you were born in and grew up in. In 2021, Hope Shue (left) won a Division 2 girls' lacrosse championship with fellow senior captains Amelia Novitch (center) and Lily Thompson. Trevor Hass What was your recruiting experience like, and what led you to Middlebury? I was really gunning for Division 1. I played on one of the top club teams in the country on Mass Elite. Most of the other girls on my team were committing to Division 1 schools, and I felt like that was the path I wanted to take. But I was a really small player (5 feet, 4 inches) and, quite frankly, not one of the best people on my club team. Because of that, I definitely wasn't getting the Division 1 looks that I wanted . . . I started talking to Middlebury around November of my junior year and went up for a clinic in January. I started to realize that all of the things I thought about, Middlebury could offer. By July 1, when I committed, I was really excited about the opportunity to play at the best Division 3 program in the country. At the same time, I didn't know much about it, so I feel really lucky that it worked out the way it did. But it definitely wasn't where I intended to be when I was an eighth or ninth-grader starting the recruiting process. Related : Advertisement What's some adversity you've overcome that people may not know about? It definitely has been difficult over the years not placing too much expectation on yourself. I personally like being in an underdog position. I think most people would. It's been difficult to frame each season and each game so that I don't feel the expectations. Then the academic side, my GPA became pretty public by sophomore year. So just trying to tune out the awards, the expectations, and really focus on not striving for perfection. Hope Shue won a national championship in all four of her seasons at Middlebury, after winning a Division 2 title at Dover-Sherborn. Courtesy Sideline Media Winning four straight national championships is insane. Can you speak to the consistency of the group and how you were able to do that? Advertisement I think it speaks volumes to the culture that goes top-down from my coaches. They set such a high bar for us, because they really believe that we're capable of that. Then bottom-up, with all the players on our team really committing to coming to practice every day ready to compete at that level. We don't speak too much about national championships, conference championships, or even our record at all . . . I think the secret ingredient for the past four years is that we're really a different team by the end of the season. It's been really fun to see that transformation four years in a row.

I would definitely be incredibly proud of myself. I really put a lot of work in along the way, from being 10 years old, and just hitting a ball against the bounce-back every day, over and over again, the repetition every day throughout the years. I definitely never imagined that this would be where I was after four years at Middlebury. I'm just incredibly grateful for everything that Middlebury's given me. I definitely still feel like the underdog entering the real world here. I'm back to the bottom of the totem pole.

Cowboys Fan Favorite May Face Brutal Truth On 53-Man Roster
Cowboys Fan Favorite May Face Brutal Truth On 53-Man Roster originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's a story many fans won't be thrilled to hear, but the harsh reality is Deuce Vaughn could be on the verge of not making the Dallas Cowboys' 53-man roster. Advertisement Why would that disappoint so many NFL fans? Simple. Everyone loves a true underdog, and Deuce Vaughn embodies that in every sense…. quite literally. Standing at just 5-foot-6, 176 pounds, Vaughn is one of the shortest players ever to reach the NFL. And in a position group known for size, strength, and durability, it's a glaring difference. Running backs today are often now built to withstand the NFL's physical demands. OK, maybe Derrick Henry at 6-3 and 245 is an outlier. But look again: The standard bearer at the position is now Saquon Barkley, who at 6-0 and 235 still plays the game with speed and elusiveness. Advertisement He is a prime example of the modern prototype. Vaughn's journey, however, has always been about beating the odds. His draft moment in 2023 captured the hearts of fans everywhere when he received the call from his father, a Cowboys scout, telling him he'd been selected by Dallas. It was a moment that transcended football and reminded everyone why we love this game. But now, as the 2025 season approaches, the reality is setting in: Vaughn's spot on the roster is far from guaranteed. The Cowboys added serious depth to their running back room this offseason. Free-agent signings Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders bolster the top of the depth chart, while the team also invested draft picks in Texas Longhorn Jaydon Blue and Clemson's Phil Mafah during the 2025 NFL Draft. Advertisement Typically, teams carry four running backs on the 53-man roster, occasionally five, but that's rare. The odds of a fifth back sticking are even slimmer when you consider that Hunter Luepke fills a fullback/running back hybrid role, and KaVontae Turpin sometimes lines up in the backfield as a gadget player out of the slot. And both of them are making this 53-man roster. That means a hard decision is looming. Out of Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders, Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah, and Deuce Vaughn — someone won't make the cut. Most expect the final roster battle to come down to Deuce Vaughn vs. rookie Phil Mafah. And right now, Mafah looks to have the upper hand. He's younger, bigger, and viewed as a more traditional long-term prospect. Advertisement Meanwhile, Vaughn, despite two years on the roster, has struggled to carve out a consistent role, totaling just 110 yards across his first two seasons. If Vaughn doesn't survive final cuts, his NFL journey isn't necessarily over. Another team in need of depth could take a chance on him. Alternatively, the Cowboys could look to bring him back on the practice squad, keeping the fan-favorite underdog around in some capacity. Either way, the reality is clear: Deuce Vaughn's fight for a roster spot is very real — and it's one Cowboys fans are watching closely. Get more from Hayden Pustejovsky here.
