Huskers land prediction for top player in the state of Nebraska
Class of 2027 four-star safety Tory Pittman has been projected to the Nebraska football program by Rivals' Greg Smith. Smith put the prediction in on Friday. Pittman is one of the most coveted prospects for the 2027 class. On top of this, he is the top prospect in the state of Nebraska and the second safety in the 2027 class overall, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. Pittman has visited the Nebraska campus several times. He has taken one visit this calendar year, doing so on March 27. He has visited the Huskers six other times, with his first visit coming on April 9, 2024. The safety is coming off a strong 2024 season that saw him record 54 tackles, a sack, and three interceptions, per statistics from The safety will be a challenge to keep in-state, as he has tremendous talent and attention at a national level. Smith's prediction is certainly encouraging, but there is still a long way to go between then and signing day.

Alabama lands a commitment from Rivals' No. 1 RB Ezavier Crowell
Ezavier Crowell has locked in his college decision. Rivals' No. 1 running back in the Class of 2026 committed to Alabama. The Crimson Tide edged out Auburn, Georgia and Texas for the blue-chipper from Jackson (Ala.) High School, who has been trending toward staying in-state and playing for Kalen DeBoer dating back to last fall. Advertisement Multiple trips back to Tuscaloosa this spring after reclassifying into the current recruiting cycle, including an official visit on June 20 weekend, made the decision even simpler for Crowell. "The overall visit there was amazing. The feel was amazing -- and I feel that I can be there and change things around," Crowell told Rivals of his commitment to Alabama. "My biggest thing is how the staff welcomes you in as many," he continued. "I had a great time with the running backs, spending time with them and telling me we can do something great there. Spending time with Coach (Ryan) Grubb and Coach G (Robert Gillespie) -- their message was to come be a part of something great. They've made me feel like a priority." Crowell has made upwards of 15 visits to the Capstone dating back to last fall. Advertisement Alabama continued to stand tall with the top-50 prospect in the Rivals250 after each visit to campus. "Every time I'm back, it just feels right. You can't fake the culture ... it's built into everything they do," Crowell explained. "Seeing other schools has been good for perspective, but Alabama always holds up." Gillespie has courted Crowell as a priority target from the jump in this recruitment. That theme was furthered when the four-star RB jumped up into the 2026 class. "Our relationship has definitely grown. Every visit, our conversations get deeper — not just about football but life, too," Crowell said. "I feel like he really understands me and what I'm looking for." "The more I'm around, the more I see how detailed and organized everything is. Nothing is done just to be done — there's always a purpose behind it. That stood out a lot," he added.

The 'Rivals' Season 2 Locations Have Been Revealed — This Is Everywhere The Series Is Being Filmed
Rivals fans, rejoice! Filming of the hit Disney+ adaptation of Jilly Cooper's hit 1988 novel is once again underway and eagle-eyed sleuths have taken to TikTok to share their findings of where the hit series is currently shooting. The first series of Rivals may have had many twists and turns, but in fact the series only completed the first half of the book, and so the second series (which is expected to be released in early 2026) will, it is widely assumed, complete the book. The first season of Rivals was based on the second out of 11 of Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles, which all centre around Cooper's lust-worthy hero, Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell). While the plot varies in each of the author's books, at the centre of each of their storylines is the broodingly handsome, aristocratic, 30-something politician Rupert, who, in the first series of Rivals, developed a romantic relationship O'Hara's daughter Agatha (Bella Maclean), otherwise known as Taggie, who is 20. Cooper has previously revealed that Campbell-Black was a composite of the Duchess of Cornwall's first husband Andrew Parker Bowles, fashion designer Rupert Lycett Green, and Michael Howard, the 21st Earl of Suffolk. Among the filming locations used for Rivals' inaugural season were Wiltshire's Neston Park, which was used as the palatial home of Lord and Lady Tony Baddingham, and Chavenage House in Gloucestershire, which was transformed into the home of Declan O'Hara (Aidan Turner). If a series three were to follow the plot of third Rutshire Chronicles book Polo!, then perhaps the season would focus on the relationship between polo player Ricky France-Lynch and Perdita MacLeod, who is obsessed with becoming a top performing polo player. But before we get ahead of ourselves, this is everything you need to know about the filming locations that are currently being used for Rivals season two. Fans have flocked to TikTok to share videos of Danny Dyer (who plays Freddie Jones) and Hassell filming scenes at the Beaufort Polo Club in Berkeley, Gloucestershire. This nods to the suggestion that the second season of Rivals may well include elements of the third book in the series, where Perdita becomes desperate to be a polo rider. Fans have found that filming has taken place in Berkeley Castle over the past couple of weeks, with the town understood to be the setting used as the series' fictional base of Rutshire. David Tennant (who plays Tony Baddingham) and Claire Rushbrook (Lady Monica Baddingham) are just two stars of the series to have been spotted shooting scenes on the high street of Corsham, a sleepy market town in Wiltshire. That's not all though: shop fronts in the town have even been transformed to bring the 1980s set to life. Per the BBC, Corsham's Coppins Jewellers has been temporarily transformed into Cotchester Jewellers, Boots has become an old-fashioned Waitrose and the local town hall has been transformed into a polling station. 'People love it. It brings trade to the town. Tourists come and find where things were filmed and take photos,' a local shop owner told the outlet. Emily Atack (who plays Sarah Stratton) recently posted to her Instagram with the Rivals cast in the city, proving that the South Western hotspot will, once again, provide the backdrop for much of the show's second season. The Cosy Club Bristol and the Harbour Hotel on Corn Street — which doubled as a London hotel — are both among those to have been used so far for filming season two.

Four-star cancels Georgia visit, takes trip to LSU instead
Four-star cancels Georgia visit, takes trip to LSU instead LSU football will host 2026 edge rusher Landon Barnes for a visit this weekend, according to a report from Rivals' Sam Spiegelman. The four-star prospect cancelled a trip to Georgia and replaced it with a trip to Baton Rouge. Texas and SMU are considered the frontrunners for Barnes' commitment. However, it would appear that the Duncanville, TX native has an interest in LSU. All three schools made it into his top eight, along with Arizona State, Washington, Ohio State, and Georgia. On3's Industry Rankings put Barnes at No. 19 among Texas prospects in the 2026 cycle. He is No. 19 at his position and No. 118 nationally. LSU has yet to earn a commitment from a defensive end this cycle, but it appears they're making a serious push for Barnes. LSU's 2026 class is first in the SEC and second nationally to USC, despite getting a commitment from four-star offensive tackle Emanuel Tucker earlier this week. Barnes would be the eleventh addition for the group built on keeping the best Louisiana prospects at home while hitting on some of the region's top talents. Duncanville is a Texas powerhouse, routinely producing top recruits. Barnes wouldn't be the first Duncanville product to join LSU -- its also where LSU running back Caden Durham played his high school ball.

The forecast calls for The Rainmaker to come this summer — on Friday, Aug. 15 at 10/9c, when USA Network premieres its adaptation of the John Grisham novel.

In doing so, Rudy, along with his boss, J. Lyman 'Bruiser' Stone (Once Upon a Time's Parrilla), and her disheveled paralegal, Deck (The Boys' P.J. Byrne), uncover two connected conspiracies surrounding the mysterious death of their client's son. The series' cast also includes Dan Fogler (The Goldbergs), Wade Briggs (Foundation) and Robyn Cara (Trying). The 1997 film adaptation by Francis Ford Coppola starred Matt Damon as Rudy, Jon Voight as Drummond, Mickey Rourke as Bruiser and Danny DeVito as Deck, while Claire Danes played Rudy's love interest. 'What is it about this story that keeps drawing people in?' showrunner Michael Seitzman asked in a statement. 'Maybe it's the David-and-Goliath legal thriller, the dangerous romance, or the coming-of-age story. For me, above all, it's the characters. They jumped off the page in John's book and were a joy to expand upon in our show. Not to mention, Milo Callaghan, who plays Rudy Baylor, is your next crush.' In addition to Seitzman, the series' executive producers include Grisham, Patrick Moran, Jason Richman, David Gernert and Jason Blum. Want scoop on , or for any other TV show?
