June 9, 2026 - 11:00 AM by Gabriel Lopez BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU Men’s Tennis head coach Danny Bryan announced on Tuesday that Michael Bassem Sobhy has committed to joining the program. The Egyptian will suit up for the purple and gold as a graduate transfer in the fall of 2026. Bassem will become the first Egyptian-born player since Tamer El Sawy to play for LSU. El Sawy was the consensus first option for the Tigers for three successful years (1991-93). He earned multiple All-America and All-SEC First Team honors, cementing his status as a top player nationally as he made a semifinal run in the 1993 NCAA singles tournament. “We are fired up to add Michael to our program,” said Bryan. “During the recruiting process, what really stood out to us was his professionalism and the way he has handled himself competing at a high level. He has had success in both singles and doubles, which we were impressed with as well.” Speaking on LSU’s ties to the sport in Egypt, Bryan added, “LSU’s history with Egyptian tennis, led by Tamer El Sawy, was certainly meaningful throughout Michael’s recruiting process. Tamer was one of the best players in

The Timberwolves' new uniforms may have leaked on the internet over a week ago, but they were officially unveiled by the team in a well-attended event at Target Center on Sunday evening. If you haven't already seen them, the Wolves are going back to their original 1989-1996 style with a trio of jerseys: The white association edition, blue icon edition, and black statement edition. All three uniforms say WOLVES on the chest and feature bright green and blue prominently. There's a new M logo on the waistline of the shorts.

Those were either merely fine or outright bad, depending on your opinion. These modernized classics are all quite

June 7, 2026, 12:40 p.m. PT The UCLA Bruins are expecting to bring in an exciting crop of talent with their 2027 recruiting class but they’re not finished yet either. UCLA’s recruiting efforts have expanded greatly this offseason under Bob Chesney, with the program getting help from unexpected areas. Currently safety Jerry Outhouse Jr. is ranked as the third-highest recruit for the UCLA 2027 class but he’s comfortable sliding down to No. 5 if that means there will be more talent around him on the Bruins roster. Outhouse posted on Twitter on Sunday to offer encouragement to a pair of recruits UCLA has been targeting. “@bradyedmunds9 @XavierSabb Make that move to WestWood! Let’s build something special and make History.” Outhouse said on Twitter. Brady Edmunds wrapped up his visit to UCLA this past weekend, receiving a video from Hall of Famer Troy Aikman trying to attract the Ohio State commit to flip to the Bruins. Xavier Sabb is an even higher ranked recruit, with the five-star wideout also set to take an official visit with UCLA. In his first offseason with UCLA, Chesney has focused on the Bruins’ defense. Of the 10 four-star recruits that UCLA has gotten commitments from

Some 600,000 young people packed into Madrid's Plaza de Lima, going from exuberant chants in welcoming Pope Leo, to complete silence in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. The evening progressed from cheers and chants, to a dialogue about saints, worries, and the future, to the culminating moment of Eucharistic Adoration and benediction imparted upon some 600,000 young people by Pope Leo XIV. After the Jubilee of Youth in Rome last summer and in the lead up to World Youth Day in Seoul next year, this evening's meeting with the young people of Spain in Madrid showed the Holy Father at home among the youth, with their popular chant that affirms, "these are the young people of the Pope!" The cardinal-archbishop began the evening recognizing: These are the youth of Jesus, these are the youth of the Church, and the youth of the Pope. The hundreds of thousands had been gathered in the park most of the day, where they shared a festival of music and testimony as well as the Luminous mysteries of the Rosary. A survey published this year by a foundation close to the Church indicated that 45% of young Spaniards aged 15 to 29 identify as Catholic today, compared

Kentucky Basketball is officially coming together in Lexington, as players have begun moving into the Wildcat Coal Lodge, with the entire roster expected to be on campus by this weekend. The first to arrive was class of 2026 4-star point guard Mason Williams, which makes sense given that his father, Mo Williams, is an assistant coach for Kentucky and a former NBA veteran who played alongside LeBron James. Williams said on Friday while moving in: “What’s up, BBN. Mason Williams here, just got moved in. Excited to get to work. One thing you all should know about me is I am the hardest worker, and I am ready to meet the guys and get on the floor and practice.” The second arrival was Furman transfer guard Alex Wilkins, who drew heavy interest from multiple programs after his standout NCAA Tournament performance against UConn. Wilkins said upon arrival: “What’s up, y’all. Alex Wilkins here, just got moved in. Excited to get to work. One thing about me, I am here to win games, and I am excited to get the season going.” Lexington native Reece Potter was the third to move in, returning home after two seasons at Miami (OH) and

Hunter Biden (Photo: Shutterstock) Unless you’re on X (and seriously, why should you be?), you’ve probably missed the fact that Hunter Biden has been going viral. The son of former President Joe Biden has had a Twitter account since 2013. However, he didn’t post anything on it. That all changed in late May when he began to tweet. I'm Hunter Biden. You've never actually heard from me.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) May 19, 2026 He began by posting tweets about being seven years sober and about recovery. Politics, but make it gay! Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more! — Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 1, 2026 This won him praise from users from across the political spectrum. Addiction, after all, doesn’t care about someone’s politics. Appreciate that very much.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 3, 2026 Thanks man. I don’t know you- but I think I like you.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 1, 2026 Thank you- truly appreciate you.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 1, 2026 He also clapped back at Fox News-driven criticism. What are you talking about. I live in LA. My wife is South African and we have spent some time

Nieman Journalism Lab: Twitter/X Punishes Accounts That Post Links Laura Hazard Owen, writing for Nieman Journalism Lab back in April: I used Claude to help me scrape the 200 most recent tweets from 18 large publishers’ X accounts and track the engagement (likes + comments + retweets) on each. Six of those publishers have paywalls: Bloomberg, CNN, Forbes, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Nine don’t: Al Jazeera English, AP, BBC, Breitbart News, CBS News, Daily Wire, Fox News, NBC News, and Reuters. The last three accounts I looked at — Leading Report, unusual_whales, and Globe Eye News — are not news publishers, but aggregate breaking news in tweets without links. (Here, for example, is an example of a Leading Report tweet: “BREAKING: Iran has halted direct talks with the US, per WSJ.” They’re sometimes referred to as engagement-maxing accounts. These charts make it pretty clear that links in tweets hurt engagement. The connection was so apparent in my analysis that a graph including all 18 publishers is almost unreadable: The traditional, link-loving publishers are clustered in the bottom left corner (lots of links, little engagement) in a nearly indistinguishable mass of bubbles, no matter how large their
