Miami reportedly lands top OT recruit for $2m+/year

Miami secured a seismic commitment when five-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell, the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2026 ESPN 300, picked the Hurricanes over Georgia, Oregon and Ohio State on Tuesday afternoon.

A 6-foot-8, 315-pound lineman from Nixa, Missouri, Cantwell is the No. 1 offensive tackle prospect in the 2026 recruiting cycle. He commits to the Hurricanes as the highest-ranked member of coach Mario Cristobal's latest recruiting class, landing with Miami days after an unofficial visit to the Bulldogs on May 10.

Despite the late trip to Georgia, Cantwell's finalists battled to the very end. Sources told ESPN that Oregon sent assistants A'lique Terry and Drew Mehringer to Missouri on Monday to make the Ducks' final pitch to Cantwell and his family. Miami tabled the most lucrative NIL package in Cantwell's recruitment, with sources telling ESPN that the Hurricanes offered a multiyear deal worth more than $2 million annually.

If you like gangster stories I’ve got to recommend this one. Tom Hardy plays a “fixer” for a crime family lead by Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren. Episodes drop weekly. So far 7 of 10 are available. Story is great so far and the acting is of course phenomenal, as you might imagine from the 3 lead actors.

Highly recommend having the closed captioning on if you choose to watch. The Irish and English accents are very heavy.

OT but important to a lot of people on the board

Pete Rose has been removed from the ineligible list finally! I have waited for this day since I wrote a paper in college about why he should in fact be in the HOF. Now he can finally get the recognition he rightfully deserves. The same needs to be done for the greats of the steroid era. I don’t care if a separate wing needs to be built, steroids were widespread enough that it’s hard to pick and choose who did them and who didn’t. The best players of all time deserve to be in the hall, it diminishes the HOF itself leaving out the absolute greatest players IMHO.

I know many Reds and baseball fans have waited for this day for a long time. I wish they would have done it while he had a chance to see it at least.

Cincinnati Reds

We're a little over 1/4 of the season and sitting at 20-23, just 2 games better than this time last year. We are on the plus side of the run differential but that is deceiving, since we'll score 10 runs in one game, then 1 or 2 the following 5 games. Our offense is about as inconsistent as one can be. The one thing I asked for, during the off season, was an outfielder who could hit around .280 with 30 plus homeruns and we didn't get that. Fraley needs to be sent to Louisville and stay there, we called up a .180 hitter in Benson, McClain is hitting .168, Steer .190 and Candelario has been an extreme disappointment sitting at .113 and CES is once again on the DL, but was only hitting .158 when he went down. Thats 5 players currently hitting below the Mendoza line (.200). Hays and Trevino has been a welcomed addition, so far, but everyone will eventually head for the mean, meaning they will slowly revert back to the career averages.
Our pitching is sitting at 11th in MLB with a team ERA of .375 which is really good. But our inability to hit will waist the great pitching. We need to find a closer, badly, but Ashcraft may be able to fit there eventually.
Cincinnati will have to win the NL central in order to make the playoffs, but unless we make a trade, I can't see us doing that. I'm sure the Mets and Dodgers will win their divisions, with the Phillies, Padres, Giants and maybe the Cardinals/Cubs fighting for the wildcard spots. I've been a Reds fan since the late 60's , but with the current ownership, I don't see how much longer I can follow them. I also understand it's early and we still have a lot of baseball left, but unless everyone starts hitting at once, this season may end up worse than last year and we have one of the best managers in the game today. Our June schedule is going to be brutal, so we better heal now or we'll be out by the all-star break.
Rant over.

NBA Playoffs

Two big elimination games tonight for UK-centric NBA teams. Set the DVR, go have a nice dinner and a couple beers, come home about 90 minutes after first game starts and fast forward all the b.s. Herro had 38, and Bam dominated on defense for Miami the other night. AD and PJ are 40% of the Mavs starting lineup. AD basically rested the last couple of months to try to be healthy for this last Hail Mary shot at playing in. He should dominate against Memphis.

NIL expert says Big East will be first, SEC last in revenue assigned to basketball …..

Just read this in an article from Seth Davis (HoopsHQ - paywalled):

“During an NIL conference at the Final Four hosted by Silver Wave Media, Blake Lawrence, the CEO of Opendorse, which is an NIL service and technology company, projected that on average, Big East schools will assign $5.7 million of revenue to men’s basketball next season. Lawrence projected smaller sums for the other power conference schools: $4.4 million for the ACC, $4.3 million for the Big 12, $3.2 million for the Big Ten and $3.1 million for the SEC. And he’s not guessing. Opendorse works directly with dozens of high-major schools, including several in the Big East, to provide them the data they need to set their budgets. “For most power conference programs outside of the Big East, their budget for men’s basketball will go down,” Lawrence said. “Football is a beast because you have nearly 100 players that will receive some level of compensation. Big East schools don’t have football money, but they don’t have the football burden. That’s where there’s opportunity.”

(SIAP - think this has been recently discussed but couldn’t find the thread)

Taylen Kinney, the No. 14 overall recruit in the national junior class, told 247Sports he has an official visit scheduled with Oregon for September 6.

"Josh Jamieson has been recruiting me since I was in the eighth grade," Kinney said of the Ducks. "He was recruiting me while he was coaching at Louisville. Then he went to Oregon and has been on me since. He believes in me. He brings up Jackson Shelstad when we talk."

Question about Travis Perry and NIL money...

Have seen it said or implied that he will get much more NIL money at Ole Miss than he would get here if he stayed.
Can this be verified or is it just speculation ?
I just don't see the fit with him at Miss. Chris Beard plays a very hard nosed man to man defense and that is TPs weakness.
Based on what Mark Pope said yesterday I don't believe for a minute he was pushed out the door.
I guess the days of sitting and waiting your turn while working your tail off are long gone even for a kentucky kid who by all accounts grew up dreaming of playing here.
His actions compared to the attitude of Trent Noah is quite a contrast.
I do wish him well.
