Friday brought a significant roster development for Gonzaga basketball, as veteran guard Adam Miller (6-foot-3, 190 lbs) announced his commitment to the Bulldogs, filling a critical backcourt vacancy for the 2025‑26 season.
Gonzaga concluded the 2024-25 campaign with a 26-9 record (14-4 WCC), claimed the WCC Tournament crown, and reached the NCAA Second Round under 26th‑year head coach Mark Few.
Despite frontcourt strength, led by First Team All‑WCC Graham Ike (17.3 PPG, 7.3 RPG) and standout Braden Huff, the Zags just lost their three senior starting guards in Ryan Nembhard, Nolan Hickman, and Khalif Battle
The Miller transfer news was revealed by Sam Kayser of 247Sports via X.

Miller arrives fresh off a senior season at Arizona State, where he averaged 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists, drilling 42.9% from three on 4.4 attempts per game.
His career includes a record‑setting 28‑point Illinois debut, an ACL-rehab year at LSU, and international gold at the 2021 FIBA U19 World Cup.
Miller’s veteran presence should mesh immediately with returners Ike and Huff, as well as incoming transfers, to form a more balanced rotation.
This commitment not only shores up Gonzaga’s perimeter but also signals Few’s continued prowess in navigating the transfer market.
The Zags will also be welcoming Virginia transfer Jalen Warley, four-star recruit Davis Fogle, and three-star recruit Parker Jefferson for the 2025-26 season.
As the Bulldogs prepare for a revamped WCC slate, Miller’s arrival could be the catalyst for a deeper March run and a chance to restore Gonzaga among college basketball’s elite.

Mark Pope bragged on Trent Noah and his development at his recent press conference
Big Blue Nation always has a soft spot for the players from the Bluegrass State, and one of the players that is a fan favorite is the Harlan native Trent Noah. Last season, as a true freshman, no one expected Noah to have a large role for the Wildcats, but over the course of the season, injuries launched Noah into more playing time. While his numbers didn't jump off the stat sheet at fans, it was clear watching him play that he was going to be a star down the road for Kentucky. This offseason, it has been a goal for Noah to put on some more muscle, and he has done that. At his press conference on Monday, Coach Mark Pope talked about how he felt that Noah was the most veteran player for the Wildcats in the scrimmage vs. the alumni team, La Familia. Jaland Lowe called Noah the best shooter he has ever seen in a press conference earlier this season, so Kentucky fans should be very excited to see what sophomore season Noah has to offer. He is going to get playing time for the Wildcats this year and could even be one of the better rebounders for Kentucky. If Noah can become a 3-and-D player for the Wildcats while also grabbing a lot of boards, that would be the perfect fit for him. Coach Pope has been very high on Noah from the start, and it is clear from his statement at this press conference that his confidence in the Harlan native is growing.
Caitlin Clark drops mic on Kelsey Plum's Instagram post
Caitlin Clark might be the most popular figure in women's basketball right now, but she continues to draw shots left and right, both on and off the court. The Iowa product has stayed even keeled and mostly unrattled, but that doesn't mean she won't fight back. That's why, in the light of Kelsey Plum's recent comments, she decided to take matters into her own hands and clapped back at her with a simple, six-word message. Plum shared a picture of her during the WNBA's All-Star Weekend, which showed half of a Nike logo in the background. Clark was quick to spot it and just wrote "Thank u for the Nike ad." This happened just hours after Plum seemingly took a shot at Clark and her Team Clark teammates for reportedly not getting involved in their pre-game protest. “The T-shirt was determined this morning. Not to tattletale, but zero members of Team Clark were very present for that,” Plum revealed. “That really needed to be mentioned,” Sabrina Ionescu added while both laughed. WNBA All-Stars warmed up with a T-Shirt that read 'Pay us what you owe us,' ahead of their new CBA agreement, which is expected to be signed in the offseason. WNBA players get around 9 percent of the league's revenue, and they're asking for a bigger share since most of them also have to play overseas during the offseason because of the salary disparity. Plum is the vice president of the WNBPA, so it's not surprising to see her so involved in the protest and the demands. Then again, it's hard to understand the reasoning behind the tattle telling, as not only does it show that there might not be a united front ahead of these negotiations, but it also drives attention away from where it should be.
The Phillies need to replace this struggling bat at the deadline
Another year, another shot at a championship. Since their last World Series appearance in 2022, a match in which they lost, the Philadelphia Phillies have slid backwards, falling in the NLCS in 2023 and the NLDS in 2024. This year, the Phillies are back on top of the NL East, holding a slim half-game lead over the New York Mets entering Tuesday. Still, their season has been far from spotless. The Phillies have gone through immeasurable difficulties from the bullpen without Jeff Hoffman (signed with Blue Jays), Carlos Estevez (signed with Royals) or Jose Alvarado (PED suspension), especially with Jordan Romano’s descent into the dumpster fire. But with new free-agent signing David Robertson in tow, we can expect some degree of stability from the relief corps going forward — though, not to insinuate that team president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski is done adding bullpen arms. Another sore spot that received plenty of attention the past few months is in the outfield, left field in particular. Among all qualifying left fielders, Max Kepler maintains the second lowest OPS. Much has been made about potentially replacing him, but as bad as he’s been, there is one Philadelphia infielder that has done even worse. Once a promising bat, second baseman Bryson Stott seems to be reaching rock bottom. Below, you can his stats in comparison to that of Kepler’s: (wRC+: weighted runs created plus represents the culmination of a hitter’s offensive achievements where a value of 100 is MLB’s average) Stott has been more proficient than Kepler at recording hits, but Kepler’s power and higher walk rate gives him the edge in overall offensive stats. It was only in 2023, his second year of MLB action, when Stott hit .280/.329/.414 with 15 home runs. Unfortunately, Stott’s productivity began to slide last season. This year, his slump halted in April when he hit .314 on the month, but it quickly resumed in May (.216), worsened in June (.202) and has reached a fever-pitch in July (.132). If the Phillies are going to claw their way back to the Fall Classic, it may be better if Stott’s bat isn’t in the lineup.

Yankees Traded Flourishing Infielder for Struggling Closer
The New York Yankees have made their 2025 goals abundantly clear: They're trying to return to the World Series and win it all. In an effort to do so, the Pinstripes traded pitcher Nestor Cortes and infielder Caleb Durbin to the Milwaukee Brewers this season, adding closer Devin Williams to the roster. Halfway into the season, it looks like that was a big mistake. The Yankees are now looking to fill gaps in the both the bullpen and the infield before the MLB trade deadline rolls around at the end of the month. Utilityman Oswaldo Cabrera was great at third base, but suffered a potentially season-ending injury in May. The Yankees tried to compensate by shifting Jazz Chisholm Jr. to third, but it was clear Chisholm excels at second, and he's since been moved back. Durbin, on the other hand, has only gotten better in Milwaukee. "Over 75 games this season, Durbin is slashing .265/.350/.382 with five homers and elite contact skills at the plate," Alexander Wilson of Empire Sports Media wrote. "He ranks in the 95th percentile in whiff rate and 98th in strikeout rate — rare company for a young infielder. Durbin’s advanced plate discipline would’ve been invaluable in a Yankees lineup that too often leans on boom-or-bust approaches." Then there's Devin Williams, who has been part of a shaky-at-best Yankees bullpen. He has certainly seen improvement since the beginning of the season, when he was pulled from closing duties after a blown save to the Yankees' division rival Toronto Blue Jays. However, it hasn't been quite enough. Toronto swept New York in a four game series earlier this month, securing their lead of the AL east over the Pinstripes. Williams pitched the final inning, giving up two earned runs. He has a 4.82 ERA over 37.1 innings pitched in 41 games. Williams keeps improving, and hopefully will prove that the Yankees made the right choice by acquiring him. However, that still doesn't fill the gaping hole New York has at third base, and they're likely missing Durbin's consistent abilities in the field and at the plate. The Yankees have until the July 31 MLB trade deadline to make any trades to address these issues.
