He’s happy to join a winning collegiate program after finding success on the diamond at both Laney and Westside. ” Over the years, I know I played with some great teams. I’ve played with a lot of great teams, but knowing that the college that I’m going to is working it feels really good,” added Baker.

I know it’s only May, and we still have a long way to go before any meaningful football is played. But when the schedule is released, it makes football season feel a little bit closer. It somehow becomes more tangible when dates and times are attached to things. Surely it feels that way for all 32 organizations and their respective fanbases. It’s something to look forward to. A new season brings a fresh slate, where teams can reshape narratives, and build on last year’s work. For the Detroit Lions, there is plenty to be excited about, despite only winning three games in 2021. Coach Dan Campbell appears to have full buy-in from his players, and general manager Brad Holmes has done some heavy lifting in terms of roster construction since his arrival in Detroit. This regime could have kicked the can down the road some—spread out the cap hit of those contracts they cut bait with at the beginning of last year. That would have given them a little more room to operate under the salary cap in 2021, even if it meant sacrificing future year’s cap space in order to do so. Instead, the Lions decided to strip the…

With Jeremy Pruitt’s departure amongst an NCAA investigation, Tennessee football saw more departures to the transfer portal than any other program last offseason. A year with Josh Heupel running the show and Tennessee football is in a much more steady spot this offseason. Pro Football Focus released a graph Monday detailing the roster movement at every power five school, and Tennessee was near the bottom in snaps leaving the program for power five schools and snaps from power five schools entering the program. career snaps gained/lost from the CFB transfer portal so far (@PFF_College) pic.twitter.com/fvQDptJ3jV — Anthony Treash (@PFF_Anthony) May 9, 2022 Tennessee has had 16 players enter the transfer portal since the start of the 2021 season but only seven of them have found homes yet. For the sake of the graph, only Tiyon Evans (Louisville) and Andison Coby (Indiana) landed at power five schools. Evans played 215 snaps in his one season at Tennessee while Coby played 51 snaps in three seasons in Knoxville according to PFF. According to the graph, only a handful of schools have lost less snaps to power five schools than Tennessee, including Houston, Kansas, Cincinnati, Boston College and BYU. Tennessee has added seven…

By Kevin Durso, Sports Talk Philly editor  That big splash you heard on Monday morning was one of the NHL’s elite coaches suddenly becoming a free agent. In a surprising move, the New York Islanders fired Barry Trotz after four seasons. The Islanders join the Flyers, as well as the Detroit Red Wings and Winnipeg Jets, as teams with current coaching vacancies. The Chicago Blackhawks currently have Derek King in an interim role. So do the Florida Panthers with Andrew Brunette and the Edmonton Oilers with Jay Woodcroft, though both are in the playoffs at the moment. The Flyers made the announcement last week that they would be undergoing a coaching search for a new head coach. Mike Yeo served as the interim for the remainder of the season following the firing of Alain Vigneault on Dec. 6. So does the entry of Barry Trotz into the coaching free agent market change things for the Flyers? There are cases for both answers. Obviously Trotz comes with a hefty resume. Assuming he is hired by another team this offseason, Trotz will continue a streak of 23 straight seasons in a head coaching role. At age 36, he took his first head…

Crews took advantage of the decreased fire activity overnight and conducted fire handline construction ahead of the fire as a way to help slow the fire’s forward progress. This is a tactic used to reduce fuel in an area to potentially limit fire spread and growth. However, another round of Red Flag conditions Monday may hinder daytime fire suppression efforts as high winds, low relative humidity, and a dry fuel bed can create fast fire spread and erratic fire behavior, and likely unsafe fire conditions for direct suppression efforts. Predicted winds out of the southwest again can push the fire further to the north and northeast.Additional resources arrived on the fire Monday morning, include hand crews and engines. Nearly 120 personnel areassigned to the fire. Aircraft, including Large Air Tankers (LATs), Very Large Air Tankers (VLATs), and helicopters are alsoassigned, but high winds may limit the ability to use aircraft efficiently.On Sunday, the wind-driven fire pushed to the northeast twelve miles through a very dry grass crop. The fire was mapped Monday morning at 10,562 acres with no containment. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office reports SET for residents northeast of State Route 83 and Forest Road 799. The area…
