With the recruiting dead period set to end, it’s time to talk about recruiting again. With Sherrone Moore leading Michigan football, recruiting has been at the top of many fan’s minds. There is a general belief that recruiting will be better under Moore due to his aggressive recruiting technique, but that obviously remains to be seen. For the Wolverines, NIL is still a major question mark. Although Michigan football appears to have improved its NIL game, it’s unclear if it will have an impact on recruits as the team has focused a lot of its efforts on player retention rather than…
Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways in the Premier League last weekend after dispatching impressive Crystal Palace at home, scoring three late goals to turn the game on its head. Even though they still have a game in hand and are five points behind Aston Villa in fourth place with twelve games remaining, Ange Postecoglou will feel that there is still a lot of work to be done as the season’s pivotal final stretch approaches.

SHARE How good is former Michigan football signal-caller J.J. McCarthy? Heisman level good, according to one former NFL general manager. Longtime New York Jets executive Mike Tannenbaum praised McCarthy during Monday’s showing of Get Up on ESPN, saying his talents go beyond the stats he posted during his tenure with the Wolverines. Tannenbaum said McCarthy could have put up Heisman-type numbers if he played at LSU Tigers, the home of fellow top-ranked draft prospect Jayden Daniels. Along with North Carolina’s Drake Maye, McCarthy and Daniels are among the top quarterback prospects for April’s NFL draft, behind the consensus top pick, USC’s…
Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi has revealed that he apologised to referee Aimee Barrett-Theron following their interaction during Saturday’s United Rugby Championship clash.

Joe Rodon is absolutely thriving on loan at Leeds United this season, and the defender has now dropped his biggest hint yet that he will join the club permanently at the end of the current campaign. Despite being with Tottenham since 2020, Rodon has still only made 24 appearances for the Lilywhites (Transfermarkt) and has never quite managed to become a first-team staple in North London. After a tepid loan spell with French side Rennes last year, Rodon joined Leeds United this season and returned to the Championship, the league where he first caught the eye all those years ago. The Welshman has been almost ever-present…
Tottenham signing Lucas Bergvall could be set for a first-team role under Ange Postecoglou, after producing a moment of brilliance for Djurgården, according to Alan Hutton. The wide forward, who is 18 years old, was signed by Spurs during the January transfer window after they defeated Barcelona to his signature. He will report to Ange Postecoglou’s squad for the preseason. Although Bergvall is already a full international, he made an impression at the club level, helping Djurgården defeat Nordic United 5-0 and scoring twice, one of which had him carrying the ball from within his own half and finishing in…
Ralf Schumacher wouldn’t be surprised if the “unrest” at Red Bull drove Max Verstappen to join Mercedes, after all, who “would have thought” Lewis Hamilton would leave the Brackley squad?

Dogged by allegations of inappropriate behaviour, for which it must be noted a lengthy investigation was later dismissed by Red Bull’s parent company Red Bull GmbH, Horner was back in the headlines on the Thursday…

Heung-min Son got back amongst the goals on Saturday as Tottenham picked up a crucial 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.
