That’s because there’s another five-star quarterback now on campus at UT: Arch Manning. Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli, was the No. 1-rated recruit in the class of 2023 and has enrolled…

Luka Doncic and Devin Booker have had a contentious rivalry ever since the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns met in the playoffs last season. On Sunday night, things came to a head as the two stars exchanged words in the final seconds of the Suns’ 130-126 victory over the Mavericks. Doncic, who fouled Kevin Durant after missing a potential game-tying floater in the final seconds, said Booker was the one who started the conversation.

It’s a bold move by the Jets, one that could pay off in a big way if they are able to land the three-time MVP.
