Alabama football’s offensive line pledge, Michael Carroll has signed to play football at the University of Alabama.
Carroll is a five-star offensive lineman out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
The 6-foot-6, 325-pounder, is a physical and mean lineman in the trenches. When he pulls, he looks like a train coming full steam ahead as he destroys anyone he gets into his path. He is really athletic for a guy his size as he looks impressive when he moves over to the defensive side of the football and gets after quarterbacks and ball carries as a defensive lineman.

Ex-Hornet Frank Kaminsky slams Happy Gilmore 2 as 'Maybe the worst movie I’ve ever seen'
Adam Sandler and Netflix just released the sequel to Happy Gilmore, and fans all around the country were treated to a night full of nostalgic laughs and childhood memories. But not everyone walked away smiling — the film has drawn its fair share of criticism. At least former Charlotte Hornets forward Frank Kaminsky made sure his thoughts were loud and clear on social media. Kaminsky didn’t hold back, posting on X: “Happy Gilmore 2 is maybe the worst movie I’ve ever seen.” The reaction was mixed, with some fans accusing him of being out of touch or just trying too hard to be a critic. Doubling down, Kaminsky explained why the movie didn’t land for him — saying it felt like a cheap imitation of the original, packed with cameos and forced jokes. “Outside of the Scottie Scheffler getting arrested scene I don’t think I laughed once,” Kaminsky wrote. “The amount of cameos and stupid scenes was such a slap in the face to the original movie.” Kaminsky basically said the movie tried too hard to be funny by using the same old jokes and packing in a bunch of celebrity cameos. To him, it didn’t really feel like a real comedy — more like they just threw in familiar faces and hoped for the best. The next day, Kaminsky returned to X to clarify that his issue wasn’t just with Happy Gilmore 2, but with the direction of comedy movies as a whole. “It feels like no one is willing to take a chance on making a new concept comedy movie anymore,” Kaminsky wrote. “We used to get a few new ones every year. Now it’s just all sequels and remakes of older comedies just to make money off nostalgia and move on. Kinda sad that’s what it’s become.” Safe to say Sandler and Netflix won’t be winning Kaminsky over anytime soon. Kaminsky may have been out of the NBA last season, but it’s still refreshing to hear from the former Hornet. He’s always had a unique personality, and now he’s speaking his mind on social media without holding back. Agree with him or not, it’s obvious he’s not afraid to be straightforward — and in today’s polished sports world, that honesty really stands out. - MORE STORIES FROM HORNETS ON SI - Charlotte Hornets roundtable: Picking Jeff Peterson's best offseason move/decision Why the Charlotte Hornets should still consider signing Al Horford The Hornets non-starter with the most pressure to perform next season Who is Drew Peterson?

Stephanie White Puts Indiana Fever Players on Notice Despite Win Against Aces
The Indiana Fever’s starters turned in a strong all-around effort in Thursday’s 80-70 win over the Las Vegas Aces. The starting unit scored at least 13 points each, save for Aari McDonald, who registered nine points in 22 minutes of action. Indiana’s starters combined for 76 out of the team’s 80 points on the evening, which only means that the four other players who came off the bench accounted for just four points in the game. All that came from Sydney Colson, who went 2-of-5 in 18 minutes of playing time. Lexie Hull, Makayla Timpson and Damiris Dantas all failed to score in the win. Stephanie White Calls Out Fever's Bench Be that as it may, offense wasn’t even the biggest concern for head coach Stephanie White. In her postgame press conference, the veteran shot-caller called out Indiana’s bench for their lack of intensity on the defensive end, particularly in the first half. “Our bench has to be ready,” she said. “I felt like our bench in the second half was really good defensively. In the first half, I didn't feel that way. You got to be ready to come in and you got to be ready to guard your matchup and execute the game plan. "We have depth for a reason. We've got quality depth and we've got to be able to use it. So if fatigue is a factor in execution, then they just need to ask for a sub and I'll get them out and get them back in." It has been a bit of a busy stretch for the Fever at the midway point of the season. Thursday’s matchup against the Aces was their second game in three nights, and they will be back in action again on Sunday in a rivalry showdown against the Chicago Sky. White, however, isn’t accepting fatigue as an excuse. This is regardless of the fact that Caitlin Clark remains out with a re-aggravated groin injury. White is adamant that this roster has been built for adversity, and she didn’t hesitate to put her bench on notice after Thursday’s showing.
Rangers Sign Former Stanley Cup Champion to Tryout Agreement
The New York Rangers are adding to their forward depth ahead of their upcoming training camp. The Rangers are entering a new chapter of their organization under new head coach Mike Sullivan. After missing the postseason last year, the organization is trying to rebound and respond accordingly in 2025 and 2026. Former Stanley Cup champion forward Conor Sheary is the latest player to join the new-look Rangers. The veteran forward agreed to a professional tryout agreement (PTO) with the club and will look to earn an NHL deal with his performance in training camp and the preseason. Sheary is a veteran of 593 NHL games. Originally an undrafted free agent, he signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins after completing his collegiate career. Following a year with the Penguins' AHL affiliate, he forced his way onto the NHL squad after posting 36 points in his first 30 games of the 2015-2016 season at the AHL level. His debut NHL season went better than ever expected, and he was a key part of the Penguins' lineup that won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. Sheary's coach at the time, both at the AHL and NHL levels, was Mike Sullivan. Now, he'll get the chance to reunite with the coach under whom he won two championships. In addition to playing for the Penguins, Sheary has played for three other NHL franchises. The Pens dealt him to the Buffalo Sabres before the 2018-2019 campaign, but he would return to Pittsburgh the following season at the trade deadline. After his second stint with the Penguins, he joined the Washington Capitals. He played three seasons in Washington, D.C. before landing with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he spent the past two years. Over his 593 career games, he's compiled 124 goals and 143 assists for 267 points. His best NHL season came during the 2016-2017 campaign, his second in the league. He scored 23 goals and added 30 assists for 53 points in 61 regular-season games.
WNBA legend Lisa Leslie had three words for Angel Reese
Now in her second WNBA season, Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is averaging a league‑leading 12.5 rebounds along with 13.8 points, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game. She recently returned from injury and immediately picked up where she left off, posting her 16th double‑double of the season (11 points, 11 rebounds) on Tuesday night even as her Chicago Sky fell, 91-68, to the Minnesota Lynx. Then, on Wednesday, Reese showcased her brand power on Instagram, posting a pregame photo dressed head‑to‑toe in Gucci with the caption, "Don’t worry about me… life is GUCCI @gucci #guccipartner." The image quickly lit up her feed and drew an immediate response from one of the game’s all‑time greats, WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, who commented, “Yessss it is❤️." Despite flashes of elite play, the Sky have struggled mightily, standing at just 7-17 and sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference. Their 76.7 points per game rank 12th in the WNBA, and opponents are torching them for 86.8 a night (12th in the league). With head coach Tyler Marsh searching for consistency, every bright spot has been a welcome reprieve for a franchise that won the title as recently as 2021. Front and center among Chicago’s bright spots is Reese. Off the court, Reese has quickly built a burgeoning portfolio of endorsement deals, including Reebok, Calvin Klein, Beats by Dre, Amazon and now Gucci, underscoring her status as one of the WNBA’s brightest personalities. On the other side, you have Leslie, whose voice carries more weight than arguably anybody in women’s basketball. A three‑time league MVP, two‑time WNBA champion and Finals MVP and eight‑time All‑Star, Leslie helped define the league’s early years with the Los Angeles Sparks, including driving home the first dunk in WNBA history in 2002. A Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer (class of 2015), she remains a global ambassador for the sport.
