After consecutive road losses, Magic can get back on track with strong start vs. woeful Pistons • UCF busy working transfer market to fill needs with a visit from Coastal Carolina QB Grayson McCall on tap

| | | | | Who'll be UCF's starting QB next season? It appears that answer could be in the transfer portal. ... I did a double-take on the Magic's next opponent, the Pistons, for tonight. They've lost 18 games in a row. How is that possible in the NBA, with a coach they gave an absurd and unprecedented $78M contract in the offseason? ... The College Football Playoff committee is getting it from all sides. Mike Bianchi aint even done. He's just warming up. 👇🏽 ... It's hard to be angry at FSU receiver Johnny Wilson. The Orange Bowl feels more like a consolation game, but the 'Noles could finish a perfect season with a win over Georgia. Leaving early for those NFL checks is more enticing than sticking it to the committee. That feeds the ego. Not the bank account. 🤷🏽 | | | | The top playmaker amid Billy Napier's rebuild also is the most high-profile talent exiting Gainesville after a 5-7 season. Top pass rusher Princely Umanmielen also announced plans to seek another school rather than enter the NFL draft as many had expected. | | | | | Against the Wizards and Hornets, who have won a combined nine times in 30 games, the Magic were able to get away with poor starts and recover for victories. That wasn't the case against stronger competition such as the Nets and Cavaliers. Both jumped ahead by 20-plus points and never looked back. | | | | | A name that's drawn much attention is Coastal Carolina quarterback Grayson McCall, who is scheduled to visit Orlando this weekend, a person with knowledge of the situation told the Sentinel. | | | | | FSU lost Jordan Travis, a Heisman-caliber QB, and with it their shot at a national championship. The Dolphins lost Bob Griese in 1972 and guess what happened? A backup QB and a furious defense led them to a perfect season and a Super Bowl title. | | | | | Boys basketball winners included Foundation Academy and Circle Christian, while Winter Park, Oviedo and Olympia won in girls basketball. Horizon, Edgewater, Hagerty and Boone won games in girls soccer. | | | | | Jon Rahm is now part of Saudi-funded LIV Golf. The shocking news was confirmed when Rahm donned a black LIV Golf jacket during an appearance on Fox News. Rahm leaves right as the PGA Tour and the Saudi backers of LIV Golf are racing to finalize an agreement to become commercial partners. | | | | | The 6-foot-7, 235-pound Johnny Wilson will not be playing for the Seminoles in the Orange Bowl against Georgia. He does plan, however, to play in the Feb. 3 Senior Bowl. | | | | | The Predators went 2-for-3 on the power play while holding the Lightning scoreless on their four chances with the man advantage. It was the first multiple power-play goal game for Nashville in more than a month. Tampa Bay entered Thursday with the NHL's second-best power play success rate at 31.9%. | | | | | With National Signing Day less than two weeks away, UF has a lot of ground to make up if Year 3 is going to be a bounce back under coach Billy Napier. The Gators finished 5-7 and have begun to hemorrhage talent on both sides of the ball. | | | | | We're 12 games into the Baker Mayfield era in Tampa Bay, and the quarterback's decision to sign with the Bucs appears to have paid off handsomely. His stock is not nearly as high as it was when he … | | | | | The last time UCF played in the Gasparilla Bowl was against Florida in 2021. That game set a bowl record for attendance with an announced crowd of 63,669. UCF defeated Marshall in 2019 in front of an announced crowd of 28,987. | | | | | The 6-foot-3, 229-pound Stutsman, a junior who has been starting middle linebacker at Oklahoma since his sophomore season, is projected to be a third- or fourth-round NFL Draft pick. | | | | | Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has one thing on his mind when he sees Tyreek Hill about to win a 1-on-1 matchup, and he details some of his routine to stay healthy, plus finally having a turnover-less … | | | |
