“Coach Chris [Koclanes] talked about how finding success is important, but you want to find great people first. I think they’ve done a great job from top to bottom, finding great people who are easy to work with, easy to work for,” Bueckers said. Bueckers' revelations lend credence to Wings CEO and managing partner Greg Bibb's theory that there is a "false narrative" around the organization as a place that is behind the times and cannot attract talent.

The New Orleans Saints have a quarterback conundrum for 2025. Incumbent starter Derek Carr was unlikely to play next season due to a shoulder injury, but the four-time Pro Bowler on Saturday announced his retirement from the NFL. The move frees up significant cap space in New Orleans, but it does little for the Saints' 2025 prospects on paper. As of now, first-year head coach Kellen Moore is expected to choose between Jake Haener, Spencer Rattler or Tyler Shough as the next starting signal-caller.

Rhett Lashlee and the SMU Mustangs are intent on becoming a national powerhouse in college football.

In doing so, the program achieved a final ranking of 12th in the Associated Press poll -- its highest since 1984. To build off that momentum, SMU is putting together a strong class of new recruits that will arrive in 2026.

Derek Carr has opted to hang up his cleats and retire from the NFL amid a shoulder injury that would have ruled him out for the 2025 season. Scans of Carr's right shoulder had determined that the 34-year-old was suffering from a labral tear and degenerative changes to his rotator cuff, prompting doubt that he would be able to regain the strength in his once-imposing throwing arm. Carr's decision ends his challenging two-season stint with the New Orleans Saints.
