The McDonald's All-American game is a big deal in the basketball world. It's basically the pipeline of who is next as far as the NBA is concerned.

Change of coordinators is nothing new at Alabama, and as long as Saban is at the wheel of the program, there's a good chance the Tide will be College Football Playoff contenders on a yearly basis.

Michigan star RB Blake Corum says his custom camouflage-wrapped Camaro was stolen

Blake Corum had himself one heck of a season for the Michigan Wolverines before he injured himself and limped to the finish line. There's plenty of reason to be optimistic about Corum's future, but unfortunately, at least for now, that future is not going to feature his custom 2017 Camaro.

Josh Heupel gets a well-earned extension from Tennessee

Heupel has gone 18-8 in two years as head coach of the Volunteers. Last season was largely a massive success for the Vols.

Patrick Mahomes will try to do something he's never done before in AFC Championship Game

Mahomes is questionable with a right ankle injury. Mahomes suffered the injury in the first half of Kansas City's 27-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional round. He was able to come back in the second half and lead his team to a win, but it was bad enough that backup Chad Henne had to take some snaps, and Mahomes was clearly hobbled for the rest of the game.

Coach Prime strikes again. This is the second recruiting cycle in a row that Sanders has landed the top cornerback in the class and stole that player from a supposed blue-blood program in the process.

Bill Belichick is thinking about bringing Bill O'Brien back to New England

The Joe Judge and Matt Patricia co-offensive coordinator experiment was a disaster for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. Belichick is known for making tough decisions and adjusting quickly when something isn't working, so it's not all that surprising to hear that in the wake of that disaster, "the hoodie" is thinking about going in a more proven direction as offensive coordinator.

If you're a fan of the South Dakota State Jackrabbits then you undoubtedly know who John Stiegelmeier is.

He should be for all football fans, though, because know him or not, he's a college football legend.

Quarterback Walker Howard was a big-time recruit for the LSU Tigers when he committed as part of Brian Kelly's 2022 recruiting class. Howard, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound rising sophomore quarterback, is no longer part of Kelly and LSU's future, though, and instead, he's become a big part of the program for Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss.
