UF’s Billy Napier, Todd Golden, SEC coaches voice concern with sports betting’s prevalence • Pride can pick up first victory against OL Reign since 2016
 Sentinel Sports Final Friday, July 7, 2023 | | |
| | | | | The 4-star recruits keep committing to UCF now that its a Big 12 program. Whether they'll follow through and sign isn't a guarantee but it's a good start. At this rate, preseason polls a year from now will have to have them higher than eighth. ... UF coach Billy Napier is sounding the alarm about sports betting and it's potential impact on teenagers with NIL money in the mix. College sports are about to get a lot more complicated. ... The Pride have a chance to finally topple the OL Reign, but they 're missing pieces too because of players lost to Women's World Cup duty. ... Former Magic draft pick Victor Oladipo (No. 2 overall) did everything he could to get to Miami, desperate to force his way out of Indiana a few years ago. Now he's back to where he was before he became a two-time All-Star: Oklahoma City. He's hurt and rehabbing but missed out on the mega-contract and is no longer a member of the Heat, who needed to clear his salary from the books. Life comes at you fast. | | | | Safety Jakob Gude became the 11th commitment for the Knights' 2024 recruiting class when he pledged to the school Thursday night. Quarterback EJ Colson became the second commitment for the 2025 class. | | | | | Sports betting is now legal in 38 states, but not Florida after a failed attempt two years ago. The state can resume its push after the U.S. Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling that halted a compact between the state and Seminole Tribe in August 2021. | | | | | With a 1-6-7 record against the Reign, Orlando has yet to beat the Seattle side since its debut season. Depleted rosters due to the World Cup present its best chance in recent years of earning all 3 points in the matchup. | | | | | The Knights, who will make their first trip to Big 12 Football Media Days next week, had the most points most among the four new member schools, ahead of BYU, Houston and Cincinnati. | | | | | Matt Strahm (3-3) worked two innings for Philadelphia, which has won 12 straight road games, one shy of the team record set in 1976. | | | | | UF record-setting gymnast Trinity Thomas pushes for a spot on Team USA at the 2024 Olympics. But the 22-year-old first must fully recover from an ill-timed injury that derailed her 2023 season and hindered the Gators' bid for a national title. | | | | | Stan Wawrinka has never faced Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon. So for that reason, three-time major champion Wawrinka was pleased to see that he'll meet 23-time major champion Djokovic in the third round at the All England Club today. | | | | | Larroquette will add firepower to the Pride's offense, which ranks second to last in goals scored with 14 in 14 games. The 30-year-old also is expected to provide veteran leadership, something lacking with a young roster. | | | | | The Miami Heat finalized moves with Victor Oladipo and Kevin Love on a busy transaction day in the NBA, as the Damian Lillard trade watch continued. | | | | | I'll admit I was a bit surprised by Tyreek Hill's alleged incident. This team has generally done a good job avoiding knucklehead behavior. | | | |
