Cubs Add High-Upside College Arm Cade Townsend at No. 23

The Chicago Cubs selected Ole Miss right-hander Cade Townsend with the 23rd overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. Townsend, a 6'1", 185-pound pitcher, brings a 95-98 mph fastball and a deep five-pitch mix (cutter, slider, curve, splitter, changeup) and is viewed as a potential starter, though shoulder soreness earlier in the season adds some injury risk. The Cubs continue to lean on college pitching to replenish their system, hoping Townsend can progress quickly through the minors if his medicals check out and his control improves.

SEC Considers Reprimand as Kiffin Defends Recruitment Remarks

LSU coach Lane Kiffin could face a public reprimand or fine from the SEC after suggesting that some recruits cited racial concerns about playing in Oxford; he says he was relaying a parent's words rather than stating his own opinion and defended his remarks, noting the context from a Vanity Fair piece about former Ole Miss recruits; the SEC is weighing disciplinary action, and Kiffin’s history with Ole Miss adds to the tension amid ongoing conversations about campus diversity in college football recruiting.

Kiffin Walks Back Recruiting Remarks, Apologizes for Vanity Fair Profile

Lane Kiffin apologized after a Vanity Fair profile quoted him describing why Black families might hesitate to send their kids to Ole Miss, saying the remarks weren’t calculated and apologizing to Ole Miss and Mississippi. He reiterated the Oxford versus Baton Rouge anecdote, noting he wouldn’t want it to land as a shot at Ole Miss, and suggested he’ll use similar talking points in recruiting for LSU. The piece also situates the comments within Kiffin’s fraught departure from Ole Miss and broader SEC recruiting dynamics.

Sarkisian slams Ole Miss academics, jokes about basket-weaving degree

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian criticized Ole Miss’s academic standards in a USA Today interview, saying Texas credits only 50% of a player's academic hours for transfers and quipping that Ole Miss would accept a basket-weaving degree. He framed the transfer portal era as prioritizing athletics over academics and noted that fewer than 5% of players reach the NFL. The remarks followed Lane Kiffin’s broader comments about Ole Miss’ diversity, for which he later apologized.

49ers See Gold Helmet Potential in Stribling After Standout Judgment Index

San Francisco used its “gold helmet” designation on receiver De’Zhaun Stribling after a Judgment Index assessment at Ole Miss yielded a 968 score—the best the tester had seen—suggesting high self‑confidence, coachability, and composure under pressure. The 15‑minute test measures values and decision‑making to reveal strengths and hidden weaknesses, a tool proponents say tracks leadership and football intelligence. While the 49ers’ leadership and scouting staff embraced Stribling’s leadership and pro mindset, the Judgment Index remains more established in college and other sports than in the NFL.
