The Los Angeles Lakers struggled to find any traction in 2023. While there is no questioning the greatness of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the rest of the roster never stepped up. This offseason, the Lakers are reportedly aggressively trying to add another star, but any championship roster is defined by the pieces around those stars. The Lakers re-signed one of those pieces today. Guard Max Christie is coming back to the team on a four-year deal.

Just one day after losing the College World Series to the Tennessee Volunteers, Texas A&M lost their head coach to a bitter rival. Jim Schlossnagle bolted for the Texas job, leaving the Aggies high and dry just hours after coming up short in the National Championship series. Texas A&M ended up turning to former hitting coach Michael Earley to fill the job. However, that hire apparently came after the Aggies made a “furious” run at Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello. According to Kendall Rogers, Texas A&M was ready to open up the checkbook for Vitello. They reportedly “shot their shot,”...

Tennessee defeated Texas A&M, 6-5, in Game 3 of the College World Series Finals at Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska, on Monday.
Tennessee won the best-of-three series, 2-1, against the Aggies. The Vols won the program’s first national championship.
On Tuesday, Texas A&M head coach Jim Schlossnagle resigned to take a same position at Texas.
The Aggies hired Michael Earley to replace Schlossnagle on Sunday. Earley served as an assistant coach at Texas A&M from 2021-24. He was an assistant coach at Arizona State from 2017-21.
“I am happy to announce that Michael Earley has been hired as our new Aggie baseball head coach,” director of athletics Trev Alberts said. “Michael is a very talented coach and recruiter, but what stood out to me was his character and the relationships he has built with his current and former players. During our interview process he was really impressive. I think it helps that he knows our current roster, which finished second in the country, and he also knows Aggieland and the 12th Man. I am excited about the future of Aggie baseball. Please help me welcome home Michael and his family back to Aggieland.”
