Notre Dame Football: Cole Kmet Says He’s Staying

the Irish appear to have landed the highly-coveted “Six Star Recruit” for the 2020 season.

Not many players around the nation have seen their NFL Draft stock rise quite like Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet this season.

Kmet went from pretty much being a “great idea” to a star performer this season, making an immediate splash upon returning from a collar bone injury sustained at the start of fall camp. Despite missing the first three games of 2019 due to injury Kmet has been able to pull in 29 receptions for 327 yards and five touchdowns.

Earlier this fall I sat down with Yahoo Sports draft expert Eric Edholm and discussed what Kmet’s draft stock looked like. Eric declared him a very-possible lte first round pick.

Plus, he had seen many of Forte’s games when Forte was a star for DeMatha Catholic High School, the famed hoops program in Hyattsville, Md., run by Auerbach’s friend, legendary prep coach Morgan Wootten.

LaMelo Ball staying in Australia?

Illawarra Hawks insist rumours LaMelo Ball could quit the club mid-season appear off beam after he reinforced his NBA No.1 draft pick claims with his finest NBL performance. The 18-year-old did plenty to excite the NBA scouts as he lit up the court with 24 points -15 from three-pointers – eight assists and six rebounds as he steered the Hawks to a much-needed 101-91 win over Cairns Taipans on Saturday night.

However, Hawks coach Matt Flinn said …

However, Hawks coach Matt Flinn said Ball’s positive attitude suggested otherwise. “As far as I’m concerned he’s contracted for the season and he’s buying in like every other player we’ve got,” Flinn said. “I hear speculation but we just treat it day by day. “You saw a guy tonight that who is really invested in his team and if you go down and sit in the locker room you’ll see a kid who is really invested in his teammates.”
