President Dallin Harris Oaks (@oaksdallinh) was announced today as the 18th President and Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The announcement was made during a live broadcast from Salt Lake City, Utah. President Oaks was sustained and set apart today, October 14, 2025.
In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the prophet is chosen through a divinely inspired process. When the prophet passes away, the First Presidency is dissolved, and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, led by the longest-serving Apostle, assumes leadership, confirming the new Prophet through revelation and priesthood authority.
President Oaks, 93, succeeds President Russell M. Nelson, who passed away September 27, 2025.
The new leader of a global faith of more than 17 million members has called President Henry B. Eyring (@eyringHB), 92, and President D. Todd Christofferson (@ChristoffDTodd), 80 to serve with him as first and second counselors in the First Presidency, the Church’s highest governing body.
President Oaks also announced that President Jeffrey R. Holland (@hollandjeffreyr), 84, will be the President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. https://t.co/gVaTEXJHsM
@cstonehoops Who’s concerned about 3PAs? The fact that we stayed in the game with Houston for 38.5 minutes with ridiculous turnovers and abysmal rebounding seems to mean our shot selection is fine.
In short, I agree with you.
Just admit you care about this one call and not the missed calls that preceded it because you wanted a different result. Then we can at least have an honest discussion.

US Supreme Court Law Clerks: write drafts of opinions for the Justices as a sort-of jumping off point which they can then revise as needed. Legal research, as needed.
