Highler, 24, left ELAC after the 2020 season and played for Sacramento State for two years. Just a couple months back, he moved down to Colombia to play for Cimarrones Del Choco. The 24-year-old seemingly didn't enjoy his time at Sacramento State but is happier in Colombia. He tweeted in October: "The time will come for me to tell the truth about Sacramento State. "But for now I'll just let you guys continue to think that I just forgot how to play and shoot a basketball for two years." Hig

Thursday night was a tough pill to swallow for Texas football and its fans as the Horns fell to Washington in the Alamo Bowl 27-20. Unfortunately for the Longhorn faithful, it may get worse before it gets better. Freshman running back Jaydon Blue has scrubbed his Instagram account of anything relating to the University of Texas. After playing just 16 offensive snaps in the regular season, it was widely expected Blue would get a chance to prove himself in the Alamo Bowl. Not only did Blue not touch the ball in the loss to Washington; he did not receive a single offensive snap. Blue was an incredibly successful high school player at Klein Cain (Houston), culminating in a junior season where he rushed for 2155 yards and 30 touchdowns on 9.5 yards per carry. He was a consensus four-star prospect and ranked as the 15th-best running back in the class of 2022. Blue elected to forgo his senior season of high school and enroll at the University of Texas in January 2022. Texas football RB Jaydon

Michael Jordan and his affinity for golf has been well documented ever since he started indulging in the sport in the mid-1980s. Despite being one of the best players in basketball right off the bat upon entering the league in 1984, Jordan fell in love with golf almost instantaneously.   Jordan would continually blow off steam from his day-to-day activities by hitting up a golf course. He got so into it that he would bet on his skills as a golfer with friends. This soon evolved into him getting into quite the shady dealings with characters like 'Slim' Bouler.   Bouler actually hustled MJ out of $57,000 while playing golf, an amount that was confirmed when Jordan admitted to writing check worth that same amount while in court. Since then, he's slowed down on betting egregious amounts on his golfing skills and instead plays competitively and for leisurely purposes.

Way-Too-Early Rankings of Top Players for 2023 NHL Free Agency 0 of 15 Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Even though the 2023 NHL free-agency signing period is still months away with more than half of the 2022-23 season (and all of the Stanley Cup Playoffs) remaining, it is still not too early to take a look ahead to the potential class of available players. It is a very top-heavy group of forwards, led by Boston Bruins winger David Pastrňák. Here we are going to take a look at him and the rest of the top 15 potential free agents this summer. When ranking players, we are taking into account a couple of things: How likely is each player to be worth the next contract they receive? So for example, an older player who is still a top player and might only get a one- or two-year deal (example: Joe Pavelski) might get a lift over a younger player whose contract might be longer-term and riskier (Andrei Kuzmenko).
