“I thought we played really well. I’m so happy for us that we went out like that, playing the way we did,” she told Fox Sports, according to The Athletic. “I mean this is like a sick joke for me personally. I’m just like this is dark comedy that I missed a penalty.
Florida State landed its top commitment in the college football recruiting Class of 2024 on Saturday. The announcement came minutes after the Seminoles’ top NIL collective made a bold statement.

Heat center Bam Adebayo has been a name mentioned in regard to a potential Damian Lillard trade between Miami and the Trail Blazers. But the reason for his name being brought up has nothing to do with the 26-year-old being included in the deal. Instead, he’s reportedly been part of the reason for Lillard’s interest in being traded to Miami.
Adebayo and Lillard apparently meshed well and became close during their time playing with Team USA.
