Georgia is hosting one of the top wide receivers in the country this weekend in hopes for a talented pairing with five-star quarterback commit Jared Curtis.

Head coach Kirby Smart's biggest recruiting win of the 2026 cycle came when Curtis pledged to the Bulldogs on May 5.
The 6-foot-4, 225-pound passer was previously committed to UGA last fall before re-opening his recruitment. Curtis, the top quarterback in the country, was down to Georgia and Oregon before making his latest decision.
With Curtis in the fold, attention turns to adding him some weapons. Georgia does have three four-star wide receivers committed to date, but that group would instantly be bolstered by five-star Cederian Morgan.

Morgan (6-foot-4, 210 pounds) plays for Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City, Alabama. He ranks as the No. 2 wide receiver, the top player in the state and the No. 11 recruit in the 2026 class (On3).

Home-state SEC power Alabama is projected to land the highly-coveted receiver. However, Georgia is making a push and hosting Morgan this weekend along with multiple elite recruits.
After Morgan confirmed his official visit with a post on X, Curtis reacted with a post of his own.
Morgan posted 70 catches for 1,162 yards and 14 TD as a junior in 2024. The multi-sport athlete also averaged 14.4 points and 11.3 rebounds per game on the hardwood.
Morgan has official visits scheduled to Florida (June 6), Auburn (June 13) and Alabama (June 20) before announcing his commitment on July 2.

Red Sox's Cora says Yoshida set to start rehab assignment at Triple-A
BOSTON — The struggling Boston Red Sox could be getting some offensive help soon. Manager Alex Cora said Masataka Yoshida would start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. The 31-year-old DH/outfielder has been out the entire season following surgery on his right shoulder in October. 'He'll go on a rehab assignment. We'll see how many at-bats he needs,' Cora said Saturday before the Red Sox faced the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. 'He's moving well, the swing feels great, the throwing has been a lot better. He's been able to bounce back, so we just have to map it out and see how we're going to do it.'

Davion Mitchell staying in Miami on 2-year, $24 million deal, AP source says
MIAMI (AP) — Davion Mitchell is coming back to the Miami Heat on a two-year contract worth $24 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Saturday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the deal has not yet been signed and announced. Mitchell — who the Heat consider to be one of the best on-ball defenders in the league — was traded to Miami in February as part of the deal that sent Jimmy Butler to Golden State. Mitchell appeared in 30 regular-season games with the Heat, started 15 of them and averaged 10.7 points in those contests. He averaged 15 points in Miami's four playoff games this past season and indicated to the team that he was willing to return. He could have been a restricted free agent this summer. 'Being here, I kind of just fit right in,' Mitchell said when the Heat season ended. 'They needed someone who can be a defensive presence, who can get their teammates open, make my teammates lives a lot easier, and I think that's what I did.' The Heat are his third team, after stints in Sacramento and Toronto. The No. 9 pick in the 2021 draft by the Kings has averaged 7.6 points and 3.3 assists in 301 regular-season games over parts of four seasons. ___ AP NBA:
