One of the hottest names in the college basketball transfer portal is drawing interest from the Kentucky Wildcats.
North Dakota guard Treysen Eaglestaff will be transferring, and according to Joe Tipton of On3, Kentucky is showing interest in the high-scoring standout.

Alabama, Michigan, St. John's, Kansas, LSU, Gonzaga, UCLA, Ole Miss, Georgia, and Oklahoma are among the many other schools that've expressed interest.
Eaglestaff is also expected to test the NBA Draft waters. KSR's Jacob Polacheck previously reported that Kentucky was expected to show interest.
The 6-foot-6, 190-pound Eaglestaff averaged 18.9 points (35.9% from deep), 2.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.
Eaglestaff first turned heads back in December when North Dakota hosted Alabama and North Dakota native Grant Nelson. Eaglestaff had 40 on the Crimson Tide, and the Hawks came this close to pulling the upset of the season on the top-five Tide.

He also scored 51 in a Summit League Conference Tournament win over South Dakota State.
There will be competition, obviously, for Eaglestaff as he will be one of the most coveted scorers to enter the portal this offseason, and with Alabama getting a first-hand look at him, you have to think Nate Oats and the Tide will be players in his recruitment.

There are now six golfers born in the 2000s who have won a PGA Tour event
It's a club with just a handful of members now, but eventually it'll number in the hundreds. That's inevitable. For now, though, there are six pro golfers born in the 2000s who have won a PGA Tour event. Interestingly, two of the four have two Tour wins and another already has three. The latest to do so is a big-hitter from South Africa. Here are the names of the six (for now) newbies who already have PGA Tour trophies on their mantles. Aldrich Potgieter Born: Sept. 13, 2004 Potgieter became one of the rare 20-year-olds to win a PGA Tour stop, doing so at the 2025 Rocket Classic. He had previously won on the Korn Ferry Tour as age 19. Karl Vilips Born: Aug. 16, 2001. Vilips shot a final-round 64 at Grand Reserve Club to close out his victory in the 2025 Puerto Rico Open. It was just his fourth PGA Tour start, just the 12th since 1970 to earn a PGA Tour win in his fourth or fewer starts. Joe Highsmith Born: April 19, 2000. Highsmith won the 2025 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches after making the cut on the number and then posting back-to-back 64s over the weekend at PGA National. He's just the sixth golfer since 2003 to win after making the cut on the number. Akshay Bhatia Born: Jan. 31, 2002. Bhatia was 21 when he won the 2023 Barracuda Championship for his maiden victory. He then followed that up in the 2024 Valero Texas Open. Bhatia turned pro at 17, forgoing college for life on the professional circuit. Tom Kim Born: June 21, 2002 Kim is the actually the first golfer born in the 2000s to win on the PGA Tour when he claimed the 2022 Wyndham Championship. His story there was incredible, as he made quadruple bogey on the first hole of the tournament. By going on to win, he became the first player in the last 40 years to overcome such a start to win. He was 20 years, 1 month, 17 days old when he hoisted the trophy, the second-youngest winner on Tour since World War II. He later won the Shriners Childrens Open in Las Vegas back-to-back in 2022 and 2023. Nick Dunlap Born: Dec. 23, 2003. Dunlap's claim to fame was becoming the first amateur since Phil Mickelson in 1991 to win a PGA Tour event. Dunlap was just 20 and still enrolled at Alabama when he not only won but won in record style at the 2024 American Express. His 29-under 259 total set the tournament record for the event since it switched to a 72-hole format in 2012. [It was the Tour's lone 90-hole event for many years prior to that.] Six months later, Dunlap won the Barracuda Championship, becoming the first golfer ever to win as an amateur and as a professional in one PGA Tour season.
