Rivals Five-Star: Five committed prospects on flip watch
Shane Beamer chats with Nicole Auerbach about his father — College Football Hall of Famer, Frank Beamer — breaking down the impact the legendary coach has had on the South Carolina football program. FIVE-STAR: @JohnGarcia_Jr and @samspiegs recap who won MVP, who impressed and MORE👀🏆 — Rivals (@Rivals) June 24, 2025 INDIANAPOLIS - The Rivals Five-Star has wrapped up but after talking to numerous players and getting a sense on a lot of recruitments, here are five players who could be on flip watch as June wraps up: MORE FROM INDY: Highlights and analysis | Teams that should be pleased | Gorney Awards | Biggest surprises RECRUITING INTEL: Mid-South | Florida | West | Southeast | Midwest RIVALS FIVE-STAR MEDIA DAY: All the news, notes and interviews | The All-Lobby Team | How solid are the commitments? | Roster RIVALS FIVE-STAR INTERVIEWS: Jaden O'Neal | Trae Taylor | Chase Calicut | Samu Moala | Jake Kreul | Felix Ojo | Peyton Houston | CJ Sadler | Richard Wesley | JaReylan McCoy | Carter Scruggs | Nolan Wilson | Carson Sneed | Derrek Cooper | Devin Carter | Jayden Wade | Joel Wyatt | Kaden Henderson | Nick Abrams It would be a massive surprise if Brown backs off his Ohio State pledge for so many reasons. The 2027 five-star receiver is from Huber Heights (Ohio) Wayne. He loves position coach Brian Hartline. Brown loves how the Buckeyes have developed so many receivers and have such a great history at the position. But Tennessee is sending mail to Brown every day and the coaching staff is working hard to not only stay involved in his recruitment but to flip him at some point as well. Others will make a move because Brown is so talented but if Hartline stays in Columbus then Brown probably stays committed. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH OHIO STATE FANS AT As programs work to finalize their quarterback situation, there are a lot of moving parts and Cherry is being contacted by some big guns. The four-star quarterback from Chattanooga (Tenn.) Baylor School has been committed to Louisville since January but when LSU missed on Bowe Bentley, the Tigers reached out and gauged interest with Cherry. Auburn has also been in the mix as the Tigers figure out the situation with Landon Duckworth (who has Auburn and South Carolina as his two favorites) so Cherry could have some options moving forward and the word is he's listening. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH LOUISVILLE FANS AT The four-star cornerback from Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin has been committed to Michigan since last July but Jennings has been taking visits and seeing what else is out there especially through June. The word coming out of Rivals Five-Star is that Miami would be the biggest threat to flip Jennings if he's looking to stay closer to home. Even through all his visits, Jennings hasn't backed off his pledge yet and while Florida, Georgia and others could be in the mix, the Hurricanes would be the one to watch. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH MICHIGAN FANS AT It's no secret that while Sneed has stayed committed to Tennessee, the four-star tight end from Nashville (Tenn.) Donelson Christian Academy has heavily considered other programs. Ole Miss and North Carolina will be two to monitor but the biggest threat to the Volunteers would be Florida. Sneed loved his visit to Gainesville and the plan coach Billy Napier laid out for the four-star tight end as there's some concern that Tennessee doesn't throw to its tight ends enough. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH TENNESSEE FANS AT Tofi committed to Cal in early June and it was a big win for the Golden Bears since Oregon was the biggest threat throughout his recruitment. There are reasons to believe the four-star offensive tackle from San Francisco (Calif.) Riordan sticks with Cal as well since he loves the Polynesian culture on the coaching staff and his brother plays in Berkeley, too. But only a couple weeks after his pledge to Cal, Tofi took a visit to Oregon as the Ducks have not backed down. He also showed up to Rivals Five-Star wearing an Oregon t-shirt and said over the next few weeks he plans to make a final decision in his recruitment so the Ducks are clearly a threat.

Don Cherry, 91, signs off podcast after 313 episodes, future uncertain
Famed Canadian sportscaster Don Cherry signed off from his podcast for the final time — or so it seemed. The 91-year-old Cherry had hosted 'Don Cherry's Grapevine Podcast' since November 2019, producing 313 episodes in total. His son and co-host, Tim Cherry, said on the finale that it had racked up 6.5 million downloads. 'Well, Tim, this is our last show. … Thanks everybody for listening and toodaloo,' Cherry said on the episode posted Monday. Cherry's official X account shared a link to the episode with the caption, 'Don Cherry Says Goodbye in Final Podcast,' reinforcing the impression that the series had come to an end. But in a Tuesday interview with the Toronto Sun, Cherry said the goodbye was meant as a seasonal sign-off, not a permanent farewell. Get daily National news Get the day's top news, political, economic, and current affairs headlines, delivered to your inbox once a day. Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Even so, Tim Cherry told The Canadian Press he doesn't foresee any new episodes in the future. Story continues below advertisement 'That being said,' he added, 'if something wild happens like McDavid being traded to the Leafs, I'm sure Don will want to do a quick podcast about it. As for the start of next year, we'll see.' The podcast has been Cherry's most regular platform since his departure from television — a continuation of a storied and often controversial career in broadcasting. His bold suits were matched only by his even bolder opinions. For nearly 40 years, Cherry — a pugnacious former minor league defenceman who later coached the NHL's Boston Bruins and Colorado Rockies — made his name on Coach's Corner during Hockey Night in Canada. Cherry had long been known as a polarizing voice in hockey circles, but no moment left a lasting mark quite like Nov. 9, 2019, when he delivered a televised rant about people not wearing poppies, seemingly aimed at immigrants. Cherry, who denied targeting new Canadians, was fired two days later. Rogers Sportsnet president Bart Yabsley announced the decision, saying Cherry 'made divisive remarks that do not represent our values or what we stand for.'

Class of 2026 defensive lineman chooses a Big Ten rival over Wisconsin, Indiana
Committed!!#BoilerUp #HammerDown 🚂 Class of 2026 defensive lineman Kobe Cherry committed to Purdue on Monday. The three-star recruit chose the Boilermakers over other finalists Indiana and Wisconsin. His offer sheet also included Louisville, Minnesota, Toledo and Washington. 247Sports ranks Cherry as the No. 1,357 player in the class of 2026, the No. 147 defensive lineman and the No. 21 recruit from the state of Indiana. The 6-foot-5 lineman only took an official visit to Purdue. Notably, the in-state Boilermakers had long been the prohibitive favorites to land his commitment. He joins a Purdue class of 2026 that now ranks No. 35 nationally with 18 players committed. That class recently surpassed the Badgers' group (No. 51) in the national rankings. That movement has occurred as Wisconsin has gone 10 days without a commitment. The Badgers do already have two defensive linemen pledged to the class: Djidjou Bah and Arthur Scott. Bah's status is worth monitoring, however, as he recently took an official visit to Missouri. Wisconsin may be tasked with extra work to retain his commitment.
