For all intents and purposes college basketball's 2024 transfer season is over although some schools could still add one or two more players prior to tipping off in November. However, in this age of highly paid transfers, many coaches could opt for quality over quantity, meaning they'll concentrate their NIL funds on several elite transfer prospects rather than scatter those finite moneys over more marginal prospects in an attempt to fill all 13 scholarship spots. They may prefer to roll the dice on injury and other attrition with nine or 10 scholarship players. Texas Tech, incidentally, has filled only 11 scholarship positions as of this writing and could stand pat. This is a calculated risk Grant McCasland and other coaches may be willing to run.

A special legislative session is once again on the lips of Wyoming lawmakers. Less than three months after the Legislature voted against a special session to override gubernatorial vetoes, Rep. Mark Jennings (R-Sheridan) is circulating a letter amongst lawmakers that calls for a special session for a different reason.

ORLANDO, FL - It has now been four consecutive days the Knight nation has heard a "Boom!" from Gus Malzahn and the UCF Knights staff as they continue to roll landing the commitment of Mainland (Daytona Beach, Fla) 3 Star defensive lineman Christian Hudson. Following up the three defensive linemen on the edge. Hudson is a big time win for defensive tackles coach Kenny Martin as he had to beat out Iowa, Iowa State, and Maryland to keep the talented interior rusher home. He had an interesting recruitment with the Knights having initially been offered as an offensive lineman by Herb Hand, but continued to develop as a defensive tackle and eventually earned the offer to play on the defensive line. Similarly built to current UCF defensive tackle Ricky Barber Jr, Hudson adds a lot of versatility and extreme power from a lower base just like Barber. When asked what position Martin will have him line up at Hudson told Knights247, "Their plan for me is to line me up anywhere on the DLine, from a five, to a nose, to a one, a shade, anything like that. Mainly just very versatile with me, that's their plan with me, and just move me around."

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.
