UCF football recruiting: Top prospects set to attend Bounce House Weekend • Winderman’s view: Nuggets cut Heat down to size in precision performance
 Sentinel Sports Final Friday, June 2, 2023 | | |
| | | | | The finals for NBA🏀 and NHL🏒 are here, and the Sentinel/MNG family has boots on the ground in Denver and Miami. ⚔️ UCF Insider Jason Beede has a complete rundown on the Knights' big football recruiting weekend, with all the official and unoffical visits on campus as Gus Malzahn enters Year 3 for the Big 12. UF Insider Edgar Thompson spent most of the week in Destin at SEC spring meetings, and those went as expected with the eight-game conference schedule for 2024 and Billy Napier all but guaranteeing his second season in Gainesville 🐊 will be different. | | | | SEC opponents for 2024's eight-game league schedule will be announced June 14 during a primetime television event. The move will keep Florida's non-conference slate intact, including much-anticipated matchups with UCF and Miami. | | | | | UCF coach Gus Malzahn will host nearly 30 recruits during the third version of Bounce House Weekend, the program's top recruiting event. UCF already has four recruits verbally committed for the class of 2024 — a group that ranks No. 51 in the country, according to 247Sports. | | | | | Ira Winderman's perspectives and other items of note from the Miami Heat's Thursday night NBA Finals loss to the Denver Nuggets. | | | | | They didn't just lose liberally. They didn't just go a quarter-century between winning playoff series. They put the fun in dysfunction for decades. | | | | | There's no doubt who San Antonio will select with the first pick in this year's NBA draft. Victor Wembanyama could have started packing for Texas once the Spurs learned they had won the lottery. But once the 7-foot-3 French phenom is off the table, who's next? | | | | | FAU standouts Johnell Davis and Alijah Martin both withdrew from the NBA draft and will return to the Owls next season. | | | | | Coco Gauff had to wait and wait and wait to get on the court for her second-round match at the French Open. That's because the match before hers lasted nearly 5 1/2 hours. When the 2022 runner-up in Paris did get out there, she won in a little more than an hour to set up an all-teen showdown against Mirra Andreeva. Some of the top names in tennis are due on court Friday: Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula. | | | | | A simmering dispute between Major League Baseball and the Hunt Valley-based broadcaster Sinclair erupted into public view in federal bankruptcy court. Rob Manfred made the accusations against David D. Smith, Sinclair' s executive chairman, while appearing at a bankruptcy hearing in Houston for the struggling Diamond Sports. | | | | | Nikola Jokic would run through a wall for him. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. trust him. It's hard to imagine these Nuggets being four wins away from a title without him. | | | | | A one-time five-star prospect who received an NFL combine invitation, Rakim Jarrett seemed a cinch to land somewhere on Day 3 of the draft. Assorted mock-ups had him going between the fourth and sixth rounds. When he wasn't taken, NFL.com tabbed him the top receiver to go unselected. "In no world did I think I was going to go undrafted," said Jarrett, who declared as an underclassman after totaling 102 catches his final two seasons with the Terrapins. | | | | | Florida's Ricky Castillo was one of four seniors on coach JC Deacon's squad that entered the season with one last chance to leave a legacy. The program's first SEC title since 2011 was validation, but the Gators' fifth NCAA championship — and first since 2001 — put Castillo and Co. in rare air. | | | |
