Football. Basketball. Plenty to talk about.
Jeremiah Smith is in a tier by himself. The next four are in the same tier for me, and they each give you something different. Charlie Becker can run away from a corner. KJ Duff can win with one still on him. Cam Coleman has the tools to be a No. 1 receiver, and Nick Marsh can make an ordinary throw turn into an explosive play.

The Heat were tied with the Warriors at 53 at halftime, then lost the third quarter 38-23. Golden State went on a 26-9 run in that quarter and won 120-100. Miami is now 3-6, and the two things that stood out most to me were how poorly the Heat shot from three and how much trouble they had defending it.
Miami just landed the No. 1 wide receiver from the 2028 class, and the Canes are getting him a year early. Five-star Jacksonville Mandarin receiver Brysen Wright chose Miami over Florida and Texas and is reclassifying to 2027.
The Heat were down 20, shot 10-for-40 from three, and still found a way to beat the Clippers 117-116 in overtime. After the way Miami defended against the Lakers, I wanted to see a better effort on that end. The second quarter was brutal, but the defense made some of the biggest plays of the night when Miami needed them.
There are three running backs at the top of this class for me: Jadan Baugh, Kewan Lacy and LJ Martin. Setting injuries aside, I see very few major holes in their games. Each can lead an NFL backfield and contribute on passing downs.
