After being out of rotation, Chuma Okeke finds groove in Magic’s starting lineup • High school sports scores and top performers from Tuesday, Jan. 16

| | | | | Hate on agents like Jimmy Sexton and college coaches all you want, but these schools aren't being forced to draw up those ludicrous contracts. It's a choice. And Sexton has leveraged that into power. Good for him (and his clients). If you let the tail wag the dog, it will. Don't like it? Whose fault is it? The coach? His agent? Nope. Your school. Yet the governor wanted to contribute $1M of our tax dollars to aid a school with an almost $1 billion endowment over the College Football Playoff 😲. What next, a Go Fund Me for Elon Musk to get plastic surgery to fix his failed plastic surgeries? ... Chuma Okeke is 6-7, an excellent wing defender and now he's knocking down 3s. Can you trust it or is this an anomaly? Players with those attributes in the NBA are a premium and required to win big. Question: Should the Magic wait for him to become that guy every night or should they trade high if he continues at this pace with the deadline approaching (provided there are suitors)? ... The Bucs are the NFL 's Lakers for last NBA postseason. They got into the playoffs and advance beyond what anyone thought midseason because of the luck of the draw. That's why when the Lakers advanced to the West finals vs. Denver they didn't just lose but got swept. The Bucs got Philly at the right time. That probably ends in Detroit. ... Speaking of the Eagles, they all better go into witness protection. I remember a fan, with a fresh Eagles tattoo covering his entire forearm, foaming at the mouth at a cheesy Atlantic City dive about wanting to punch Donovan McNabb, and his mother, in the face. Why? They lost a preseason game and the team didn't look good. 🤷🏽 | | | | The retiring Nick Saban may be the the most dominant, dynastic figure to ever roam a college football sideline, but Jimmy Sexton is the most dominant, dynastic figure to ever sit at a college football bargaining table. | | | | | Not only has Okeke been thrown into fire, but he's used his size and length to offer the Magic elite defense on the wing and shooting from beyond the arc. He went 3-for-16 from 3 in a three-game stretch but is 9-for-18 in his last three games. | | | | | Among boys basketball winner were Windermere Prep, Foundation Academy, Orlando Christian Prep, Lake Brantley, and Ocoee, while Bishop Moore added a boys soccer win. | | | | | Former Jones High defensive lineman De'Antre Robinson, who signed with Texas in December, will be attending another school after being released from his National Letter of Intent. | | | | | The Gators, who haven't won in Knoxville since 2014, were led by Walter Clayton Jr. with 16 points and Riley Kugel with 12. | | | | | They were 4-7 just 45 days ago. And now, after beating the Eagles Monday night, the Bucs are one of eight NFL teams still standing. | | | | | Former Seminole Matthew Cleveland is riding a hot streak as the Hurricanes square off with his former team, rival Florida State, on Wednesday. | | | | | Tymrak made 61 appearances for Orlando, scoring twice with 7 assists. Last season, she had 4 assists across all competitions in 19 apperances: "It's time for me to move on to a new challenge but I leave with so much gratitude for the time I've had at this club." | | | | | Quarterback Cam Ward joining the Hurricanes for the 2024 season means Miami could have one of the nation's top offenses this year. | | | | | In this week's Dolphins Q&A: We address coach Mike McDaniel's answer when asked whether he expected first-year defensive coordinator Vic Fangio to return for the 2024 season. | | | | | Going out like this — a sloppy effort featuring plenty of poor tackling and a lopsided loss to a mediocre team — will have the City of Brotherly Love angrier than usual. | | | |
