12 Questions With Seattle Seahawks Quarterback Sam Howell

We’re taking a timeout with former North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell to help Seattle fans learn more about the Seahawks player who loves to golf and has an interesting diet.

San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich greet Harrison Barnes like long-lost love

Posted Oct 2, 2024
To hear Spurs coach Gregg Popovich tell the tale, it was love at first sight.

The infatuation began in 2019, when Barnes played for Popovich and Team USA at the FIBA World Cup in China. (San Antonio Express-News)

These freshman could be good now

I hate to get over excited about freshman (as we all know) but fellow Heels with an experienced sophomore EC and RJ to lead the way I think they can thrive. Seth is a stud and I believe JW and VL can hold it down with Withers..Tyson in my book is a proven shooter at 6’8” great starting addition by Hubert—but throw in these 3 freshman —I love it Coach ! Go Heels! Cappy and Drake can make a difference this year guys !
