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.

Michigan's new defensive coordinator, Wink Martindale, has acknowledged that he likes to blitz more than predecessors Jesse Minter or Mike Macdonald. But the Wolverines' DC is also quick to dismiss similarities between his scheme and the one run under Don Brown, whose "Dr. Blitz" nickname reflected his desire to pair pressure with press-man and a single safety.

2025 Roseville (MI) defensive back Desmond Straughton is a physical player who may not have elite explosiveness, but he puts himself in the right position to make plays and uses force when attacking the ball.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has no interest in questions pertaining to "Horns Down" and if the celebration will be penalized — at least not right now. During an event commemorating Texas and Oklahoma's SEC entries, Sankey declined answering whether or not officials would dock opposing teams for using the gesture.

Tanner Terch was already a Husker commit who didn't need convincing that he'd made the right decision. But confirmation is a fine thing to place in your pocket. As he was winding down an interview last week with Husker247 after his official visit, the athlete out of Colorado agreed with the sentiment some recruits have expressed that it's not a feeling of if for Husker football. Rather, a visit inside the program's walls for a weekend is filled with the takeaway that it's going to happen.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
