Commitment season

Good morning! Hope everyone enjoyed the first day of official practice! Let's get to the news.

I Almost Threw Out My Keurig. It Wasn't Broken.

Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.

The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.

1. Nebraska, Seton Hall land historic commits

Under the guidance of Fred Hoiberg, Nebraska won its first-ever NCAA Tournament game last season, and the program has never had more momentum.

That success has carried over to the recruiting trail. On Monday, Nebraska landed top-25 recruit Dawson Battie, the highest rated commit for the Cornhuskers in the modern recruiting era.

Battie, the 6-8 forward, chose Nebraska fresh off a visit this past weekend. The Cornhuskers were one of the first schools to start recruiting him, and the longstanding relationship paid off.

"Honestly, everything just fell into line perfectly," Battie told 247Sports. "They have been the most consistent and supportive throughout the recruitment process — coach [Ernie] Zeigler specifically — which I've always been appreciative of. It's just the perfect fit."

As for his game, Battie is a versatile forward who can scale up and down lineups. He also comes from a family of hoopers, as his parents, brother, and uncle all played at a high-level. The four-star forward joins three-star wing Ty Schlagel in Nebraska’s 2027 class.

Battie wasn’t the only recruit who made history on Monday. Seton Hall also landed its highest-ranked recruit of all-time — point guard Javion Tyndale — and it really couldn’t be a better fit for Shaheen Holloway. The 5-9 point guard and consensus top-75 recruit has a lot of similarities to Holloway, a former elite small guard himself.

"Coach Shaheen keeps it real, and I love that about him," Tyndale told ESPN. "We have a lot in common: the same position and being an undersized point guard. He has a street fighter mentality.

Tyndale knows how to run a team and win, and he showed that this summer by leading Team Canada to its first-ever FIBA Americup gold medal over Team USA. In the event, Tyndale averaged 12.6 ppg and an event-leading 6.0 apg en route to the tournament MVP. He also posted averages of 17.9 ppg, 3.8 apg and 1.6 steals on the EYBL circuit for UPlay Canada.

“His leadership is off the charts,” UPlay coach Steve Houston said. “He’s ahead of his time mentally. The skill, everyone sees that. But what they don’t see behind the scenes is how much he impacts winning with his voice, leadership and picking teams apart mentally.”

2. Texas Tech, Missouri, South Carolina pick up 2027’s
