Opinion: Put Some Respect on Pickleball
The trucks grind away all morning, stripping my local basketball court away until all that’s left is a set of two shiny new pickleball courts, a sight of outrage for many. Across the nation, basketball and tennis courts are being converted to accommodate the fastest-growing sport for the third year in a row, with a predicted annual growth rate of 7.7%. Despite its popularity, pickleball faces criticism from fans of other sports. My friends on the varsity tennis team never fail to criticize it. “Imagine moving less than a foot in either direction and thinking you’re playing a sport,” they sneer. This criticism raises an interesting point: Is pickleball a sport for athletes or merely a game for the elderly?

Facing a media blowback, Texas attempted to swing the idea that Schlossnagle was a sympathetic figure. That also did not work. There’s little doubt that the public narrative surrounding Schloss’s departure has had a deleterious effect…

Texas GM Brandon Harris foresees top-five Longhorns recruiting class for 2025 cycle: 'We're set up'
The Longhorns could be in for a stellar run on the recruiting trail. Texas swung and missed on some of its top recruiting targets during a head-scratching start to the summer period, but the best may be yet to come for the Longhorns on the 2025 trail. Though elite prospects like top-ranked wide receiver Dakorien Moore came off the board and left the program looking elsewhere for future impact talent, the Longhorns continue to make up ground on the nation's most elite schools and take a top-15 class into the second half of July.
