Team USA survives and advances in a thrilling FIBA U19 quarterfinal showdown
Jasper Johnson drains the three 🎯 In a gripping 5th game of the FIBA U19 World Cup, Team USA found themselves in a true test of resilience against Canada. It was a nail-biter, with the Americans battling back and forth, at times looking poised for their first loss of the tournament. As they trailed through much of the 3rd quarter, it seemed as though they might be packing their bags early. The Canadians came out strong, establishing an early lead that put pressure on Team USA. Yet, this squad has a knack for never backing down. Despite getting comfortable at moments during the game, Team USA dug deep and found their rhythm just when it mattered most. They managed to edge out Canada with a final score of 108-102, improving their record to a flawless 5-0. A crucial factor in their victory? Their impressive execution at the free-throw line (38-47/80%), which kept them from falling behind when it counted. The Cat's Corner Once again, Kentucky freshman guard Jasper Johnson showcased his growing prowess on the court. He wrapped up game five with a solid performance—8 points (3-4 FG), 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal in just 13 minutes of play. His clutch shots during the second half were pivotal in regaining control of the game for Team USA. With only two games standing between him and a coveted gold medal, Johnson is poised to continue being a key player for this dynamic team. Over the course of the tournament, In just 15 minutes per game, he's averaged an impressive 7.4 points, 1.4 assists, 1.2 rebounds, and 1 steal in just under 15 minutes off the bench while shooting an eye-catching 44. 4 % FG (8/19) and 42.1% from the three (8/19) But Johnson isn't alone in his efforts; other Wildcats prospects are also stepping up! Five-star recruit Tryren Stokes followed up his historic triple-double performance with another strong showing, contributing 10 points and grabbing 3 rebounds. Meanwhile, fellow five-star guard Jordan Smith Jr. lit up the scoreboard with 14 points and pulled down 5 rebounds. As they gear up for their semifinal clash against New Zealand, all eyes will be on these young stars who are proving that they can thrive under pressure. Looking ahead, Team USA is set to face New Zealand in the semifinals this Saturday at 2 PM ET—catch all the action live from Lausanne Arena via FIBA Basketball's YouTube channel!

Did Deion Sanders Make ESPN's List of Best NFL Draft Picks?
Did Deion Sanders Make ESPN's List of Best NFL Draft Picks? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. ESPN recently released a list of 'The best NFL draft pick ever at every slot from No. 1 to 262.' As expected, the best of the best were featured with a few surprises. Advertisement However, one name expected to be part of the greatest was on the list. Deion Sanders was given the title of best No. 5 pick in NFL history. The Colorado Buffaloes coach beat out a few all-time talent to be considered as the GOAT pick for the Atlanta Falcons. While there are a few inaccuracies with the list, ESPN's Ben Solak did an outstanding job putting it all together. Here was the reasoning behind his analysis. I know this because I've spent the past month or so looking at every draft pick since the common draft era began (1967) and using the modern seven-round format (Nos. 1-262) to answer that very question: Who was the best player taken at this draft slot? Plenty of "Oh, I remember him!" moments ... and plenty of impossible decisions. How I went about things: I took "best" to mean some combination of "most talented" and "most successful." As is always the challenge in debating the bestness of football players, any argument that exclusively looks at Super Bowl wins and All-Pro nods is insufficient and lacks context. Similarly, any argument that leans solely on individual player stats and film impressions is lacking as well. I generally tried to use historical accolades to contextualize career-long production. Peak season performance and single-season record-setting also mattered to me; this isn't just a measure of who played the longest but also who played ... well, the best. And of course, rings matter because rings always matter. But there's no formula here. There's my read on each pick, levied as fairly as I could make it. Disagreement is expected. In order to be the best draft pick, you kind of have to play for the team that drafted you. I only used this rule to the water's edge -- I'm not dumb enough to knock Brett Favre because he was drafted by the Falcons. But when it came to splitting hairs, the spirit of the exercise implies that the player was talented and the team that drafted him was successful because of the pick. Lifers for one franchise got an edge over career journeymen. There isn't a bump for QB value (unless it was inescapable). Again, the specifics of the exercise established a guardrail. Is "best draft pick" the same as "most valuable draft pick?" If that feels like a pointless distinction, understand that I had to make it in order to solve several ties. I'm interested in finding the best player regardless of position, which means that safeties can beat quarterbacks, and guards can beat pass rushers. Only in cases of the blatantly obvious (see: Purdy, Brock) did I let the expanded impact of the quarterback position affect my choice. I am 28 years old. I did my best with the stars of the 1970s and 1980s, but please do not interpret any mischaracterizations of the historical GOATs as ageist propaganda. When I'm being deliberately anti-throwbacks, I'll make it very clear, I promise Related: Nike Pays Homage to Deion Sanders' Untouchable 'Double Play' Feat Sanders went fifth overall in 1989 NFL Draft. He was 'Prime Time' for a reason and lived up to that nickname during his illustrious career Advertisement 'It's a loaded fifth pick (Junior Seau, LaDainian Tomlinson, Jalen Ramsey and Ja'Marr Chase), but Sanders gets the nod for his unique place as a two-way player (not to mention his two rings — one of which came in his Defensive Player of the Year season — and his six first-team All-Pro appearances),' Solak writes. 'Does he also get a bump for providing excellent return on a sixth-round draft pick in the MLB draft? Who's to say?' Related: Lil Wayne Sees Deion Sanders During Trip to Texas Amid Growing Health Concerns Nobody can argue about Sanders' place on this list. He's one of the greatest athletes on the face of the planet with a mark in not only the NFL, but MLB as well. During his Prime (no pun intended), Sanders could've played in the NBA for the Atlanta Hawks and was giving an opportunity to try out in the early 90s. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Longhorns lose another recruiting battle with SEC rival
The Longhorns thought they were in a good spot with 2026 five-star linebacker Xavier Griffin. The Gainesville, GA native decommitted from USC in May and took an official visit to Austin in June. Austin-based recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman thought Texas would land the blue chipper. "It's down to Texas and Alabama with a June 26 commitment on the horizon," Spiegelman said. "No team has come on stronger with the four-star EDGE than the Longhorns. There's a sense Texas made another step forward with Griffin and his mother back in Austin this weekend." Advertisement But it was not to be. Over the weekend, versatile, 6-foot-4, 205-pound prospect committed to Alabama. Griffin is now the top-ranked prospect among 14 commits in Alabama's incoming class. "Growing up, just seeing them, all the draft picks and stuff that they've had -- all the guys they've put in the league -- it speaks for itself," Griffin told ESPN. "They have history and they're really clear about what they're trying to build with this new staff." Follow us on X/Twitter at @LonghornsWire.
