RIP to the greatest father, coach, mentor, role model and so much more a kid could ask for.
A stud in all aspects of life. Until we meet again I’ll be living out your legacy every day!! Love you Dad ♥️
Chipotle Nationals was a reminder:
rankings don’t always reflect impact. Hassan Kouressi & Dhani Miller have produced all season and translated it on the biggest stage.
Kouressi (Fordham) and Miller (Kent State) project as immediate high-usage guards both capable of 15+ PPG as freshmen. High-major caliber talents with clear winning impact.

5⭐️ Dylan Mingo is taking an official visit to UConn this weekend, he tells @Rivals.
The 6’5 point guard is the No. 5 overall player in the 2026 class and the No. 1 point guard.

Today marks Jamal K. Adams' '90 first official day as the new president of Loyola High School.
A Loyola alumnus, he was most recently the school’s principal. With full support from the community, join us in welcoming President Adams as he begins a new era for Loyola. #AMDG
We are heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Loyola senior, Braun Levi.
Levi, 18, was a four-year Varsity starter for Loyola Tennis and cemented himself as one of the most accomplished student-athletes in program history, having just won a 4th consecutive league title.
2026 Top 100 Jaen Chatman (@2Jaen) had a productive first session of EYBL!
He contributed to a perfect 3-0 record for @PSACardinals
G1- 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists
G2- 13 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists
G3- 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists
@JDVance Looks like all nine members of the Supreme Court just ruled that you're dead wrong (I assume they probably read the court document): https://t.co/KArpJg1lmP
New Columbia coach Kevin Hovde is hiring Shasha Brown from Cal, source told @TheFieldOf68.
Brown is a former PSA coach with a lot of academic ties from time at Vandy and Cal.
Was the primary recruiter for BJ Omot.
Geopolitically, nothing matters more than winning AI.
These tariffs, as constructed, essentially guarantee that America will lose “AI” by making America the most expensive place on earth to build AI datacenters.
The semiconductor exemption was irrelevant for AI. Datacenter semiconductors come into America in finished goods from Taiwan and other Asian countries: servers, storage systems and networking switches. By the time we have developed the capacity to domestically produce these systems, we will have lost the AI race.
Outside of this dynamic, the assumption - or wild gamble - that other large countries would not retaliate and instead come meekly to the negotiating table was erroneous.
That was the off ramp and Bessent did his best to encourage the world to take it. China, understanding how awesome all of this is for them, did not take the off ramp.
Epic win for China.
Best outcome from here - that is in the realm of the possible - would be to quickly cut “deals” with friendly Asian countries - Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc. Something like a 10% tariff plus true reciprocal tariffs (which would quickly go to zero) would be reasonable.
I say all of this as someone who was open-minded to tariffs that were thoughtfully constructed, gradually phased in and accompanied by massive deregulation. Ideal outcome would have been some combination of reshoring, revenue generation and seeing our largest trading partners lower their barriers to American goods. It is a fact that until yesterday we generally had much lower tariff rates than other countries.
My sense is that is where Bessent was, but he clearly lost an internal battle. Hopefully the market helps the President realize that a course correction is needed and the necessary changes are made relatively quickly.
The sooner, the better.
As a sidenote, I can only imagine how Bessent felt when he understood the way the reciprocal tariffs were calculated, that an LLM had generated the tariffs and that islands inhabited only by Penguins were being tariffed as a result.
