Ethan Burg's transition to Tennessee, SEC basketball detailed by Rick Barnes
2025 Israeli combo guard Ethan Burg committed to the Vols on July 18. He will have three years of eligibility at Tennessee. The 22-year-old, 6-foot-3, 187-pound prospect served two years in the Israeli military and played two seasons with Bnei Herzliya Basket in the Israeli Basketball Premier League. Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes discussed Burg signing with the Vols on Thursday. "We are excited for Ethan and his family to join Tennessee basketball," Barnes said. "He is a confident young man who plays with an edge. Ethan is a talented combo guard with backcourt versatility who is excellent in transition and can really get to the basket off the bounce. "He also has the ability to shoot the ball. Ethan's experience playing high-level international basketball should help him make a smooth transition to the SEC." Burg also received interest from Duke, Louisville and Minnesota for his commitment.

Fantasy Football: Cam Ward has chance to be 'Bud Light version' of Jayden Daniels for Titans in rookie season
While expectations were high for QB Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders last season, there's no question no one saw that type of season coming. Daniels finished as the QB4 in fantasy football while also boosting the Commanders to a playoff berth and the NFC Championship Game. There's no surprise that we're already making comparisons between Daniels and his impact on the Commanders with 2025 No. 1 pick Cam Ward and his potential impact for the Tennessee Titans. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Daniels finished his rookie season with 3,568 passing yards, 25 TDs and 9 INTs while posting a 100.1 passer rating. He also ran for 891 yards and six TDs, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year. Daniels also boosted the value of top WR Terry McLaurin, who had 1,096 receiving yards and 13 TDs to finish as the WR6 in fantasy last season. On a recent episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast, analyst Matt Harmon revealed he thinks that Ward can give us a "Bud Light" version of what Daniels did for the Commanders last season, taking that offense from being a bottom-dweller to top-five in the NFL. In terms of scoring, the Titans ranked 27th in the NFL with 18.3 points per game. Tennessee was also towards the bottom in yards per game, ranking 26th with 304.2. Harmon points out there's still plenty of talent on the Titans offense. WR Calvin Ridley put together a decent season despite poor QB play with 64 receptions for 1,017 yards and four TDs. They also have Tony Pollard (and Tyjae Spears) at RB and added more depth at WR with Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson, plus a revamped offensive line. TE Chig Okonkwo is another name that pops out as a value if Ward can elevate the offense.
