This list does not include incoming freshmen. Projecting college basketball players is never easy, especially with so much movement through the transfer portal every offseason. Still, this is my prediction of who will be the top 40 returning players of the 2026-27 season. 40. Derrion Reid – Oklahoma A former five-star recruit, Reid has the…

1. Arizona Cardinals – Julian Sayin, QB, Ohio State The Cardinals decide it’s time to reset at quarterback. Sayin offers elite accuracy, quick processing, and franchise-quarterback upside. 2. Miami Dolphins – Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State Miami doubles down on offensive firepower. Smith has rare size, speed, and ball skills, giving the Dolphins another game-breaking…

The conversation surrounding Michael Penix Jr. has become surprisingly negative considering how little football he’s actually played. Between Atlanta’s controversial decision to draft him eighth overall after signing Kirk Cousins and the limited sample of starts he’s received, many fans have already begun labeling him a disappointment. That feels premature. When you dig into Penix’s…

Through much of last season, Kon Knueppel was described with the same label: “high floor, low ceiling.” That isn’t a bad thing to be called, but it also tends to cap expectations. Players who receive that label are often viewed as complementary starters rather than franchise-changing stars. That might be selling Knueppel short. The question…

Kentucky basketball has never been a program that measures success by making the NCAA Tournament. The standard is competing for SEC championships, earning top-two seeds in March, and making deep tournament runs. After an up-and-down transition under Mark Pope, the Wildcats have assembled another talented roster, but one player may determine whether this team is…

Oklahoma State went 1-11 last season. Teams don’t usually go from the bottom of the conference to legitimate contenders overnight. Then again, most teams don’t add the nation’s most productive quarterback either. Drew Mestemaker arrives in Stillwater after one of the best passing seasons in college football. At North Texas in 2025, he led the…

Bo Nix entered the NFL with plenty of skepticism. Some questioned his age. Others dismissed him as a “system quarterback” because of Oregon’s offense. Even after a productive rookie season, there remains a surprising number of people who view him as nothing more than an average starter. The numbers suggest that’s selling him short. While…

Championship teams usually have one or two stars who dominate the headlines. For the Knicks, those players deserved every bit of the attention they received. But throughout New York’s title run, one player consistently influenced winning in ways that rarely showed up in highlight reels. Josh Hart may not have been the team’s leading scorer,…

College basketball is a sport where one elite interior player can completely change the identity of a team. In an era dominated by spacing, shooting, and guards creating offense, the teams that can consistently defend the rim and control the glass still have a massive advantage when March arrives. That is why Louisville’s addition of…

College football has always loved the next big thing. Every offseason, the Heisman Trophy race is dominated by quarterbacks with the biggest names, the most NFL hype, or the loudest narratives. But when looking strictly at production, efficiency, and advanced metrics, one player seems strangely overlooked heading into the season: Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin.…
