Iowa women's basketball 2027 four-star recruit commits to IMG Academy
In her sophomore campaign with Cardinal Mooney, Mignery averaged an impressive 16.0 points per game on 56% shooting from the floor, 36% from 3-point territory, and 77% from the free-throw line through 28 contests.
The 6-foot-1 forward also captained the Cardinal Mooney team to a 24-9 record, helping guide the school to a 2025 Florida High School Athletic Association Class 3A state championship with 19 points and 11 rebounds in the title game against Bolles.
The Sarasota, Florida, native is regarded as the No. 2 player in the Sunshine State per Prep Girls Hoops.
The Hawkeyes extended Mignery an offer on May 29, which added Iowa to a growing list of offers, including Ohio State, Florida State, Michigan, Michigan State, Kentucky, Florida, TCU, and Stanford.
With the move to IMG, Mignery will compete against some of the top talent in the nation, which should help her improve her game as her recruitment furthers while staying relatively close to home in nearby Bradenton, Fla.

Steelers CB Jalen Ramsey called out for alleged disruptive behavior with Dolphins
Jalen Ramsey is now a Pittsburgh Steeler — but one long-time sports writer believes the Dolphins were more than willing to part ways with the three-time All-Pro cornerback. According to Sun Sentinel writer Dave Hyde, there were specific behavioral issues from Ramsey that pushed the Dolphins to their breaking point: 'Let's start here: The Miami Dolphins won't miss cornerback Jalen Ramsey," Hyde said. "They won't miss him regularly showing up for practice as the rest of the team was in the middle of stretching. They won't miss how he constantly undermined defensive coordinator Vic Fangio two years ago and coach Mike McDaniel last season in a manner that spread like a bad odor through the larger team.' Yikes. These behavior concerns, if true, seem eerily similar to those of former Steelers wideout George Pickens — whose punctuality and immaturity made headlines more often than not last season. One could argue that both Ramsey and the Dolphins were ready for a change of scenery — but the same can't be said for now-former Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, whose leadership in Pittsburgh will be difficult to replicate. It's worth noting that there are always two sides to every story — as Steelers legends have been extremely welcoming of Ramsey, who's ready to make his stamp on the Steel City-brand of football.

Paul Finebaum makes bold claim about Ohio State chances of repeating as national champions
Ohio State got up off the mat after a loss to Michigan at home to go on a historic run to win the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff. It was a veteran team with a lot of talent that finally began to play like the best team in the country, leaving a several top ten teams in its wake on the way to a memorable season. Despite losing 14 players off the roster to the NFL draft, there are many who still believe there's enough talent on the roster for Ohio State to defend its national title and be right there at the end again. After all, OSU has the two best players in college football with Jeremiah Smith on offense and Caleb Downs on defense, plus a five-star talent that could be taking the reigns of the offense in Julian Sayin. But not everyone thinks Ohio State has what it takes. ESPN's Paul Finebaum is one of those who think the Buckeyes don't quite have what it takes to repeat. When appearing on "Get Up," he didn't beat around the bush when asked if Ohio State could repeat. 'I don't like Ohio State,' Finebaum said. 'I think Ohio State is going to lose in the opener against Texas, and they are going to struggle to make the playoffs, let alone win it all.' Finebaum stayed on Ohio State in addressing Smith's "promise" to beat Michigan the next two seasons with some critical words for Ryan Day. 'I'm glad to see someone on the Ohio State lineup maybe do something more than just mouthing words because Jeremiah sounds serious,' Finebaum said. 'Ryan Day has promised after every loss not to lose again, and he continues to lose again. "They are the defending national champions, so even clowns like me on the fourth of July are not going to call for a firing of a coach because he loses one game. But that is a game he has to deal with at some point. But that national championship game will pay a lot of bills, probably, yes, including another loss to Michigan.' Finebaum has never been short on criticism and controversy, and his critiques of teams often go over the top, but at least you know what you are getting from him. He doesn't mince words, and in this case, he clearly believes Ohio State is a far cry from the team we saw last season, so much so that he doesn't even think the roster is good enough to easily get into the College Football Playoff.

BTN analyst shares positive remarks on Michigan State hoops entering next season
One Big Ten Network basketball analyst seems to be pretty high on the Spartans heading into next season. Former Purdue Boilermaker and current Big Ten Network analyst Rapheal Davis shared some positive remarks on the Spartans for next season this week. Davis took to social media platform X to note he's expecting big things from Coen Carr, Jeremy Fears Jr. and Carson Cooper this upcoming season. Here's the exact post on X from Davis: This is the first time this offseason that Davis has provided positive insight on the Spartans from his point of view. He recently was praising the growth he was hearing for Carr and has also previously said he's expecting a breakout season for Fears. Michigan State is coming off a Big Ten championship winning season, where they also reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. The Spartans, though, lost a number of key contributors off last year's team, including Jaden Akins, Jase Richardson and Tre Holloman. It's clear Davis is high on Michigan State entering next season and would assume he'd consider them a solid value pick to make some noise in the Big Ten. It'll be interesting to see if Carr, Fears and Cooper can live up to this hype this season, and truly elevate their game to lead the Spartans to another strong year on the hardwood.
