In Sports, Box Forward, Chris Middleton is expected to be ready to go when the NBA season

starts this fall.

Wilson is recovering from anthroposcopic surgeries on both ankles now.

Those operations are called cleanup surgeries following several previous procedures.

The Milwaukee Star Play just 88 games last two seasons, despite another injury suffered

during playoff game two of the series against the Pacers.

The soon to be 33 year old Middleton still averaged 24.7 points, just over nine rebounds

and almost five assists a game.

Former Badger offensive lineman Casey Raba is being moved to an assistant coaching position.

Casey has been serving as UW's director of scouting.

He played for Wisconsin from 1996 to 2000 while earning all big 10 and 13 all American

honors.

He played 10 years in the NFL with the Ravens and Redskins.

He now will assist new offensive line coach AJ Blazik Blasik, who has opened eyes with

his energetic approach to revamping the one dominant feature of the Wisconsin football

team.

Former Packer wide receiver Devonte Adams says he has sent it with conviction he's staying

in Las Vegas despite all the rumors.

Adams agent has called it all baseless unfounded speculation according to a report on the Sports

Illustrated website.

However, Adams says one player could get him to leave quarterback Aaron Rogers of the

New York Jets.

Adams says he wants people to know that he's not the one driving the narrative and he doesn't

expect to leave the Raiders.

Former pro ball receiver Randall Cobble joined the SEC network as a college football studio

analyst.

But the 13 year NFL veteran says he's not officially retired from a standout career spent

mostly with the Green Bay Packers.

ESPN announced the hiring of the 33 year old Cobb and a news release on Thursday.

Although the release post and online did not mention retirement, ESPN reported on its

website that the initial announcement said Cobb had retired.

Cobb clarified his status in a social media post.

Cobb has 630 receptions for 7,624 yards and 54 touchdowns for four teams.

And the Brewers have made a roster move during the All Star break and won't immediately

affect who's wearing the uniform when the team returns to action this weekend.

The team's front office reports it has added AAA outfielder Brewer Hicklin to the 40

man roster and optioned him the AAA.

Hicklin has a 0.95 OPS and 19 homers in 72 games at that level.

In a matching move, third baseman Oliver Dunn has been transferred to the 60 day injured

list.

Dunn has hit 221 with one home run in 7 RBIs and 41 games this season.
