CAVAN SULLIVAN IS A PROBLEM 🔥

[Henry Bushnell @HenryBushnell]

U.S. Youth Soccer members today voted overwhelmingly (not unanimously) in favor of the bylaw amendment, multiple sources tell @TheAthletic.

Beginning Sept. 1, U.S. Soccer will effectively take control of USYS, with a view toward fully absorbing the org by 2028.

Umm guys… Musah might be back

[Skye Eddy @SkyeEddy]

@ProfBank 1. I’ve been at the meetings the past two days and this really historic moment is due to three+ years of trust building between U.S. Soccer from Anna Lavis and her team and an incredible push to activate locally by Lex Chaulat and her Soccer Forward team - with USYS stakeholders.

Huge news for American soccer and its youth programs!

[Sports Business Journal @SBJ]

U.S. Soccer is nearing a takeover of the U.S. Youth Soccer Association as part of an effort to create a more coherent youth system.

USYS members will vote Saturday on a bylaw that could allow U.S. Soccer to fully absorb the organization by 2028.

Multiple reports indicated that Mauricio Pochettino wished to have significant control over the restructuring and redevelopment of US Socccer on a fundamental level if he was going to re-sign for the next 4 years.

I wonder if this is his first major initiative.

Memphis has multiple 1st round picks moving forward. They have a lot of capital beyond that year, and financial flexibility in the next few seasons with players on rookie deals.

The Grizzlies like the point guards on the roster. There are ways to address things if they're wrong.

“Yeah, (he’s excited)...they picked up (Cam) Boozer. They’ve got Scotty Pippen Jr. there coming off injury. I think he’s going to be solid for them. They’ve got a nice little team.”

New era = new names in the Grizzlies store

[SleeperGrizzlies @SleeperMemphis]

Ty Jerome on how his style of play compares to Steve Nash, via The Underdog Talk

“I would say I take more from Steve Nash...just how much I am on one-foot floaters, pull-up threes, the vision, [and] the pace...but being able to shoot off your right foot or your left foot, to stop [and] start, and all the footwork and balance stuff—that’s probably more Steve Nash.”

[Shy ‘Smart Naysayer' Brown @SharonShyBrown]

The Grizzlies’ 2026-27 schedule is out, and there are plenty of dates to circle. Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane are all set to return to FedExForum in different uniforms. And one big question remains: Where will Grizzlies games air locally?

Jaylen Wells has taken some big shots in Memphis, but none compared to the pressure of planning an engagement proposal. I caught up with Wells at his two-day basketball camp in Memphis to discuss the event, teammates, and an eventful offseason.
