Last month, On3 unveiled 'Rivals Recruits,' a paid-evaluation program for overlooked high school athletes, which is really convenient considering the super discouraging state of American youth sports right now. The Opportunity Cost ✍️⬇️ conlinwing.substack.com

everyone talks about people who have ‘defeated’ nathan but no one ever mentions this absolutely insane man

Wolverines check in at No. 5 in the preseason @AP_Top25 poll - the highest preseason ranking in program history 〽️ #GoBlue

Hoopsday has arrived. NBA basketball is back ⌛️

This might be the wildest season of all time 😯 The NBA is officially back 🔥

We'll never have enough scouts to watch 1M high school football players a year. Rivals Recruits gives anyone a real shot at being seen. Ex: 2029 QB Colton Dabkowski bought an evaluation. Rivals scout @CodyBellaire spent hours on his film and talking with his coaches, then shared the eval with college staffs. A few days later Tulane offered. Est. Tulane scholarship: ~$390K over 4 years Rivals evaluation: $499 We want every recruiting staff, from FBS to D-III, to find more talent, and every athlete who's earned it to get found. No one should go unseen. on3.com/recruits/mission-sta… @AaronLemingNFL @Matt_Stepp817 @CJFWrites @IshmaelRJohnson @byBDavis @MikeLeslieWFAA @BigBlueDylan

Rivals is now charging high school athletes $499 for ‘evaluation’ and ‘ranking consideration’ awfulannouncing.com/high-sch…

1.04M kids played HS football last season. About 6,600 held a Rivals star rating… roughly 0.6%. That's not a talent gap. It's a capacity gap. Our scouts have always focused on FBS prospects, and FCS, D-II, NAIA and D-III kids rarely get their film watched. Rivals Recruits puts the same scouts, held to the same standards, on more of that film. You can pay for an evaluation. You can't pay for the result. Great resource and link for all college coaches and scouts. More opportunities for athletes. on3.com/rivals/rankings/rada…

Minnesota Timberwolves All-Defense forward Jaden McDaniels has agreed to a one-year, $40 million extension that will keep him under contract through the 2029-30 season, agents Nima Namakian of Innovate Sports and Bill Duffy of WME Basketball tell ESPN.

Would you look at that

Bears QB Caleb Williams & his offensive line leaving Atlanta with the W. 😤 📸: via Caleb Williams IG

my mama been told me don’t give no poor performance

Kyren Williams when asked why he thought the Rams couldn't sustain the energy drive to drive, via @sarahbarshop: "Can’t tell you, bro. Probably because I’m not out there."

Justin Herbert doesn’t even try to maneuver out of the sack anymore he just accepts his fate

What is this "banana ball" Ben Johnson is talking about? Look at the angle Tory Taylor strikes this punt. It starts outside towards the sideline, but then comes all the way back inside the hashes. Hard to track, especially with this kind of hang time. Huge play.

Inside the jumping jacks... Theo Benedet: "Just trying to get their attention in motion. … Just throwing a look at them they'd never seen before. I doubt they practiced that." Colston Loveland: "We just wanted them to see the big Canadian move over to the other side."

Needed this.

Stay on dat side tho🫶🏾
