As owners continue to try to outsource player development, there is legitimate concern about the future of the game.

The USMNT has used brainwave technology since January 2025 to help players prepare for one of the biggest moments in soccer: World Cup penalty shootouts.

Here's how the science works: https://t.co/h3j8v7kCsa

New on @TheAthletic — The March of UConn

On a three-peat gone sideways, a season-defining moment of truth, and a single billow of smoke from a mountain ...

If 55.6 points per game is the highest average ever by an American high school basketball player, how do we know nothing at all about Finell White?

How does someone with such a mark vanish in time? It’s impossible not to wonder what-if.

There's a list out there on the internet, one tallying h.s. basketball's highest single-season scorers. The name on top isn't a familiar one. It's one that was without a story.

That's where we begin...

Finell White grew up to be one of the guys he grew up playing against.

“People would always ask him, like, ‘How are you not in the league?’” Daryl says.

It was a complicated question.

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

If 55.6 PPG is indeed the highest average ever by an American prep player, how do we know nothing at all about Finnell White of Lowcountry Academy?

And why, more importantly, do we spell his name incorrectly?

@BFQuinn on an all-time scorer that time forgot ⤵️

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

Matt and Ryan Bewley can’t play major college basketball.

And they probably need to.

Overtime Elite's first signings were banned by the NCAA. But in a new era of NIL, how much longer should they have to keep paying?

For Pete Maravich, an empty gymnasium meant freedom. If you gave him a basketball, he could see the future.

Now Maravich has dribbled his way to No. 81 in "The Basketball 100".

Could not be prouder of this young man. Smart, talented, hard-working and humble, he has a bright collegiate career ahead of him.

I am very blessed and excited to announce my commitment to LSU-Eunice to further my academic and athletic career. I would like to thank God, my family, my coaches, and my teammates for helping me along this journey. GEAUX BENGALS!!!🐅

We miss her already. One of my all-time favorite writers, a true pro and even better person and friend. Thank you for trusting me with your work.

[Dana O'Neil @DanaONeilWriter]

Some news: After 30-plus years, it's time for a pivot. My choice and my good fortune that I get to go to Villanova, a place filled with people I know and respect.

Grateful to the athletes, coaches and families who trusted me to tell their stories.

A years-long secret plot to escape. A boat chase. A sinking boat. A rescue mission.

If you haven't yet read @BFQuinn's outstanding feature on Olympian Lilia Vu, today is the perfect day to do so.

Happy 4th, all. 🇺🇸

[Brendan Quinn @BFQuinn]

42 years ago, a small hand-built boat sinking in the middle of the South China Sea sent a distress signal streaking into the night sky. Why they were there, and what happened next, is a story.

The one that gave us Lilia Vu, the Olympian.

From @TheAthletic: The golfer Lilia Vu will represent the U.S. in the Olympics. For that dream to be possible, it took a daring escape and an improbable journey across the world. https://t.co/ifwHfgQn96

Purdue on Saturday will play NC State in its first Final Four since 1980.

A program — and a fanbase — so long tethered to its failings finally has a reason to celebrate, writes @DanaONeilWriter.

In other words? Catharsis.
