It's a good feeling when you convince a standout high school prospect to switch his commitment
to your program.
It's even better when that prospect, in the recruiting class of 2025, changes his commitment
from the arch-rival Minnesota golfers.
Most of Lyman, Torin Petaway, made that decision Tuesday.
He's flipped a couple of times, originally saying he played in Madison, switching to Minnesota,
and now back to the Badgers.
Petaway is the 17th commitment in a recruiting class already ranked in the top 15 nationwide.
He's considered the number 5 prospect from the state of Wisconsin.
The start of mandatory minicamps sees a battle at quarterback start to heat up, back up
quarterback.
Packers insider Matt Schneidman reports the competition between the returning QB2, Sean
Clifford, and rookie Michael Pratt is a little tighter.
Clifford threw three interceptions during Tuesday's session, Pratt got a lot of positive attention
during organized team activities.
This decision will be made during training camp next month.
The day after returning assistant Darwin Ham to Milwaukee, the Bucks have added another
assistant to head coach Doc River's staff.
Greg Buckner is the latest addition.
He comes on board from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Buckner has been associate head coach on their JB Bicker staff.
When Bicker staff was fired, Buckner was ready to move on.
That may complete River's coaching staff, but he was said to be interested in former Bucks
player Sam Castle at one point.
In national news, Chris stops poor Zingus as a dislocated tendon in his lower left leg,
but has it been ruled out for game three of the NBA finals for the Boston Celtics against
the Dallas Mavericks.
The team says the injury to poor Zingus occurred in the third quarter of Boston's 105-98
victory in game two.
It's unrelated to the right calf strain that sidelined the 7-foot-2 Lottbian for
10 consecutive playoff games.
The team calls injury rare and says poor Zingus' availability is day to day.
Boston takes a two-nothing series lead into game three on Wednesday night in Dallas.
As the Edmonton Oilers boarded their flight back to Alberta for game three of the Stanley
Cup final on Tuesday, the Florida Panthers remained in South Florida.
They'll fly out Wednesday, which gives them an extra day's rest before a six-plus-hour
flight, 2,543 miles to the other side of the continent.
It helps that the NHL gave the teams two days of rest between games two and three, given
this is the furthest distance between two teams in the final in NHL history.
The series resumes with the game three in Edmonton on Thursday.
The college world series opens Friday at Charles Schwab Field and, for the first time since
the event expanded to eight teams in 1950, only two conferences will be represented on
the college game's biggest stage.
The South Eastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference have combined to send the
most teams to the CWS over the last decade, including this year.
Their exclusivity in the 2024 field hints at an even greater concentration of power in
the sport as college athletics move into an era where players already able to move around
freely can make more money than ever.
