The second day of the College World Series brought everything we love about this event into full view. There were dominant arms, spectacular defensive plays and the kind of strange, chaotic tension that only college baseball can deliver.

From rising stars to old-school success stories, here are five takeaways from a wild Saturday in Omaha.

The Racers Are Down, But Don’t Count Them Out

Saturday felt like the beginning of the end for the magical Murray State team that became just the 10th four-seed to advance to the College World Series. The Racers fell 6-4 to UCLA in a game that looked closer in the box score than it did on the field. The Bruins pounced early, jumping out to a 6-0 lead thanks in large part to a four-run fourth that broke things open.

Forced to play from behind, Murray State mounted an admirable rally—but not an effective one. And now, head coach Dan Skirka’s team faces elimination against Arkansas, a program with every bell and whistle, a massive baseball budget and national championship expectations.

Bluntly speaking, it’ll take a miracle for the Racers to see another day in Omaha. But, then again, so would have everything they’ve done to this point.

“Good,” leadoff hitter Jonathan Hogart said when asked how he’d respond to being counted out. “We love it. Our back’s been against the wall the entire run. Nobody thought we’d beat Ole Miss or Georgia Tech or Duke.”

The Racers know what it’ll take to keep going. Every arm is available. Every bat is ready. And if there’s one more spark of magic left in this run, they plan to find it.

“It’s fun,” Hogart said. “Those are really good programs with a lot of talent. But we are too.”

Player Of The Day

Kade Anderson. Period. No questions asked.

The LSU ace was electric Saturday night, firing seven innings of three-hit, one-run baseball with seven strikeouts. His fastball touched 96 mph and rode through the zone with effortless carry. His high-spin curveball—massive in both shape and effect—tied up one of the most dangerous lineups in the country.

From a team perspective, Anderson’s outing was invaluable. He left just two innings for the Tigers’ bullpen to cover, a crucial luxury in what LSU hopes will be a long, taxing week in Omaha.

Individually, the implications could be just as meaningful. Anderson entered the College World Series in the conversation to be this year’s No. 1 overall pick. He might’ve moved a step closer. Against arguably the top offense in the field, he didn’t just hold his own—he dominated.

The race for top college arm is thinning. Anderson is starting to separate. On Saturday, the national strikeout leader looked every bit like the nation’s best.

LSU Takes Stranglehold On CWS Betting Spread

Saturday night’s showdown between LSU and Arkansas wasn’t just about advancing—it was about establishing control of the College World Series odds board.

With both SEC powers entering as clear betting favorites, their winner was all but certain to become the new frontrunner.

Now that team is LSU.

The Tigers have everything Omaha demands. Anderson is a championship-caliber ace. Anthony Eyanson, who’d front most rotations in the country, gives LSU a No. 2 with No. 1 stuff. The bullpen is deep and dangerous, built on premium velocity and advanced pitchability. And the lineup? It offers a mix of relentless contact and light-tower power that can win games in any style.

At this point, conventional wisdom and market confidence agree: LSU looks like the team to beat. If not the favorite to win it all, it’s at least the safest bet to reach the final.

Old School Recruiting Still Works—And UCLA Is Proof

In an era defined by transfer portal turnover and roster plug-and-play, UCLA is bucking the trend. The Bruins have 37 homegrown players on their roster, including each of their top four hitters. And they’re winning with a formula that feels almost radical in 2025: recruit, develop, retain.

“We’ve got good, young players,” head coach John Savage said. “We’ve got to keep them. We’ve got to hold on to them.”

That continuity has started to pay off in Omaha. Players like shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a second-year standout who isn’t even draft eligible yet, and outfielder Dean West, who barely saw the field last year due to injury, have blossomed into leaders. West, Savage said, has some of the best zone discipline and hand-eye coordination in the country. Cholowsky is the spark plug of a confident lineup built not on flash but familiarity.

“We wore it last year,” Savage said. “We did not win many games.”

But now?

“We’re kind of getting the payoff.”

It’s not a young team in the conventional sense, as many of UCLA’s sophomores have played over 100 Division I games. And it’s not a roster dependent on outside reinforcements. While others chase quick fixes in the portal, the Bruins have invested in their own. Slowly. Intentionally.

“It evolves,” Savage said. “And anything good takes time.”

So far, UCLA’s time has been worth the wait.

This Is Baseball Heaven

Two days in, the College World Series has already delivered everything that makes college baseball so captivating. We’ve seen dominant pitching and clutch hitting. There’s been a walk-off, highlight-reel defense and errors that would make a Little League coach wince. Chaos. Tension. Joy. Weirdness. It’s all part of the charm.

This is Omaha. And there’s nowhere else like it.

Coaches stand one step from immortality. Players become larger than life. And fans—whether they’re diehards or first-timers—are immersed in the magic. Everyone feels it.

Murray State right fielder Dustin Mercer said it best.

“It’s baseball heaven here,” he said. “I never felt famous before until I got here. Those kids don’t care whether I’m going to the big leagues or I’m done playing in two weeks. They just want to talk to me. That’s a really awesome experience.”

For Mercer, who said this is his final week playing the game, the emotion is raw.

“I know we lost,” he said. “That stings, but those kids are here to watch us. That’s super cool. I’m just trying to keep that [smile] on my face and enjoy the ride.”

And that’s the magic: the ride. The reason we all keep watching.

NIL promises made to recruits, now coaches wait for key decision to learn whether they can keep them – WFTV

LAS VEGAS — (AP) — Next week, college football coaches can put the recruiting promises they have made to high school seniors on paper.

Then the question becomes whether they can keep them.

Uncertainty over a key element of the $2.8 billion NCAA antitrust settlement that is reshaping college sports has placed recruiters on a tightrope.

They need clarity about whether the third-party collectives that were closely affiliated with their schools and that ruled name, image, likeness payments over the first four years of the NIL era can be used to exceed the $20.5 million annual cap on what each school can now pay players directly. Or, whether those collectives will simply become a cog in the new system.

Only until that issue is resolved will many coaches know if the offers they’ve made, and that can become official on Aug. 1, will conform to the new rules governing college sports.

“You don’t want to put agreements on the table about things that we might have to claw back,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day explained at this week’s Big Ten media days. “Because that’s not a great look.”

No coach, of course, is going to fess up to making an offer he can’t back up.

“All we can do is be open and honest about what we do know, and be great communicators from that standpoint,” Oregon’s Dan Lanning said.

Aug. 1 is key because it marks the day football programs can start sending written offers for scholarships to high school prospects starting their senior year.

This process essentially replaces what used to be the signing of a national letter of intent. It symbolizes the changes taking hold in a new era in which players aren’t just signing for a scholarship, but for a paycheck, too.

Paying them is not a straightforward business. Among the gray areas comes from guidance issued earlier this month by the newly formed College Sports Commission in charge of enforcing rules involved with paying players, both through the $20.5 million revenue share with schools and through third-party collectives.

The CSC is in charge of clearing all third-party deals worth $600 or more.

It created uncertainty earlier this month when it announced, in essence, that the collectives did not have a “valid business purpose.” if their only reason to exist was ultimately to pay players. Lawyers for the players barked back and said that is what a collective was always met to be, and if it sells a product for a profit, it qualifies as legit.

The parties are working on a compromise, but if they don’t reach one they will take this in front of a judge to decide.

With Aug. 1 coming up fast, oaches are eager to lock in commitments they’ve spent months, sometimes years, locking down from high school recruits.

“Recruiting never shuts off, so we do need clarity as soon as we can,” Buckeyes athletic director Ross Bjork said. “The sooner we can have clarity, the better. I think the term ‘collective’ has obviously taken on a life of its own. But it’s really not what it’s called, it’s what they do.”

In anticipating the future, some schools have disbanded their collectives while others, such as Ohio State, have brought them in-house. It is all a bit of a gamble. If the agreement that comes out of these negotiations doesn’t restrict collectives, they could be viewed as an easy way to get around the salary cap. Either way, schools eyeing ways for players to earn money outside the cap amid reports that big programs have football rosters worth more than $30 million in terms of overall player payments.

“It’s a lot to catch up, and there’s a lot for coaches and administrators to deal with,” Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti said, noting the terms only went into play on July 1. “But I don’t think it’s unusual when you have something this different that there’s going to be some bumps in the road to get to the right place. I think everybody is committed to get there.”

Indiana coach Curt Cignetti, whose program tapped into the transfer portal and NIL to make the most remarkable turnaround in college football last season, acknowledged “the landscape is still changing, changing as we speak today.”

“You’ve got to be light on your feet and nimble,” he said. “At some point, hopefully down the road, this thing will settle down and we’ll have clear rules and regulations on how we operate.”

At stake at Oregon is what is widely regarded as a top-10 recruiting class for a team that finished first in the Big Ten and made the College Football Playoff last year along with three other teams from the league.

“It’s an interpretation that has to be figured out, and anytime there’s a new rule, it’s how does that rule adjust, how does it adapt, how does it change what we have to do here,” Lanning said. “But one thing we’ve been able to do here is — what we say we’ll do, we do.”

What we’re hearing about college basketball budgets in revenue-sharing era: ‘Money-dump year’

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — Have we maybe, finally, reached the peak of college basketball spending? It depends who you ask … but it’s certainly possible. Why?

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — Have we maybe, finally, reached the peak of college basketball spending?

It depends who you ask … but it’s certainly possible. Why? Because this offseason, college sports’ old and new funding models — established name, image, and likeness (NIL) norms, plus the introduction of revenue-sharing — overlapped, giving programs a one-year window to blow the bank.

“This year is the money-dump year because of everything that’s happening,” said one assistant coach at a mid-major-plus school. “We will never see these numbers again. Now, what does that mean moving forward? We don’t know.”

That uncertainty was a near-consensus sentiment among the 35 coaches The Athletic polled at Peach Jam last weekend. Much of that stems from the unknown ramifications of the long-anticipated House vs. NCAA settlement, which took effect July 1 and allows schools — for the first time — to pay athletes directly through revenue sharing, with a $20.5 million cap per school for all sports combined.

Athletes are still allowed to reach third-party NIL deals that don’t count against the cap, but those agreements could come under more scrutiny in a post-House world, with a new clearinghouse — NIL Go — set to review them. Will NIL Go approve the sorts of million-dollar deals that have become the industry standard over the last four seasons? This early into the revenue-sharing era, coaches don’t know.

But if one thing is clear, it’s that budgets for this season are eye-popping. To understand just how swollen budgets have become this offseason, we asked all 35 coaches: On average, what would you estimate teams in your conference spent on their rosters for the upcoming 2025-26 season?

Average estimated roster costs

League 2025-26 season (estimated)

ACC

$8.2 million

Big East

$8 million

Big Ten

$8.5 million

Big 12

$8.6 million

SEC

$9.7 million

Mid-major plus

$2.3 million

Low- to mid-major

$525,000

Coaches were granted anonymity in exchange for their candor. The answers are telling — even considering the wide range of budgets within each league. (In the 18-team ACC, for example, the difference between the highest- and lowest-spending schools is eight figures.) But for as sexy as those numbers are, it’s crucial to remember why basketball budgets have grown, especially for next season.

Prior to the House settlement, most college players were paid by school collectives, who funneled money directly from donors to athletes under the guise of NIL. Now, in a revenue-sharing world, schools can distribute up to $20.5 million annually to players. Men’s basketball isn’t getting that entire pie — Opendorse, an NIL marketplace company, estimates most high-major programs will receive 20.3 percent of that on average — but still: that’s a few extra million teams can dole out.

So, when you combine old collective money — most of which schools intentionally spent before July 1 — with new revenue-sharing funds?

Voila: You get a basketball bubble, and budgets reaching never-before-seen heights.

“There is a realization for most,” said one Big Ten assistant, “that the money will not be the same.”

Revenue sharing vs. the ‘free market’

In many ways, one byproduct of the House settlement led to this offseason’s spending boon.

That would be the College Sports Commission (CSC), the new enforcement agency responsible for regulating revenue-sharing and cutting down on the pay-for-play deals that have become the industry standard. To regulate “fair” market deals, the CSC created a clearinghouse, NIL Go, which is run by Deloitte and which vets any third-party NIL deals worth over $600.

Considering schools have regularly been paying top talents hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of dollars annually, coaches were understandably apprehensive about the clearinghouse review process. Most who The Athletic spoke to admitted that they “front-loaded” contracts this offseason, spending as much collective money as possible in case NIL Go made it effectively unusable.

“With the collectives being in question, and all the details that are coming out about the settlement,” said one SEC head coach, “I don’t know what it’s gonna look like.”

And that uncertainty is still palpable. The CSC announced earlier this month that it wouldn’t clear any collective deals, seemingly validating coaches’ front-loading … only to reverse course on Tuesday after substantial backlash; the enforcement body now says it will consider collectives “valid businesses,” but will still hold them to the fair “range of compensation” rules that traditional third parties are subject to.

What does that mean for future spending?

Simply, if high-major programs are to sustain their current roster budgets, then supplemental collective money is a necessity. Consider: The average expected revenue sharing allotment for high-major teams — about 20.3 percent of $20.5 million — comes out to about $4.2 million … or half of what programs are estimated to be spending this upcoming year.

Is the college basketball economy really going to nosedive to that extent?

“You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube,” an ACC head coach said. “The free market has (borne) what these numbers are, so now you can’t come back and correct the free market, and say, ‘Well, actually, this isn’t the free market. What we determine is the free market is the free market.’ If you were able to do that, we wouldn’t be running to Congress asking for help, because that would be legal. What we’re doing now isn’t legal.”

‘It’s just going to bring back cheating’

It’s easy to talk about college basketball spending in a macro sense. But what does that look like at the one-on-one level with players?

“You’re going to have a kid making 400 (thousand), and you’re gonna go, ‘Well, next year I only have 200 for you,’” an ACC assistant said. “That doesn’t usually sit real well.”

As a Big 12 assistant put it: “That’s going to be a hard conversation to kids you’re already loyal to.”

The ramifications could be landscape-shifting. With players having more freedom of movement than ever, coaches worry that a stark drop in spending — especially in the span of one offseason — will lead to the most frantic offseason of the NIL era yet.

Another roster construction concern: How much should coaches allocate for freshmen, especially those who rarely impact winning their first college season?

“A lot of these ‘26 kids have friends who were in the ‘25 class and got a lot of money — and now you’re offering them a quarter of that?” said an SEC assistant. “We’re gonna struggle initially, trying to explain the difference.”

Which is why only three top-25 recruits in the 2026 class have committed so far.

Other uncertainties abound, too. For all the talk about “average” allotments to high-major programs, for instance, what about the blue bloods set to receive an outsized percentage of their school’s revenue-sharing funds? What Duke and Kentucky receive, for instance, will be drastically different from what teams residing alongside powerhouse football programs — like Alabama, Ohio State, and Clemson — will ultimately get.

“If you’re talking true rev share,” one blue blood assistant admitted, “then we’ve been given an opportunity to be competitive.”

There’s also the looming threat of non-football leagues, namely the Big East and Atlantic 10. On one hand, not having football means most Big East schools won’t come close to paying out the overall $20.5 million cap permitted by the House settlement. But on the other hand? Those same schools can give their men’s basketball programs the largest cut of the revenue sharing pie, rather than the 20 percent that most of their high-major colleagues should receive.

“The Big East would be able to likely — with the commitment and the resources — double and triple some of these SEC and Big Ten schools,” said one Atlantic 10 head coach. “I don’t know what the next set of rules are going to be, but I guarantee you it’s not going to be that.”

Added the SEC head coach: “We talk as a staff that we might be competing against Atlantic 10 schools for kids, if it’s based on just money.”

We won’t know for a while whether or not the CSC truly has the teeth to stem the flood of collective money into college sports. But if it does, and revenue-sharing funds are something of a legitimate cap?

Expect teams to get, uh, creative when it comes to navigating the clearinghouse’s restrictions.

“There’s probably some guys out there,” one Big 12 head coach said, “that are going to figure out a way to do some things that are within the letter of the law — (but) maybe not the spirit of the law.”

Or, more succinctly, in the words of one WCC head coach: “It’s just going to bring back cheating. I don’t want to be naive about that.”

After surveying coaches at just under 10 percent of Division I schools, the only thing that’s become clear is how divided the college basketball universe is on what to make of revenue sharing.

Will it curtail massive donor influence in college basketball? Will it curb overall spending and level the financial playing field? Or is it just a slight impediment to the free market and the hefty prices that have emerged in the NIL era? Is it enforceable? Destined to get sued into oblivion? A precursor to collective bargaining?

There’s no clear answer to any of it.

“We continually ask for help and guardrails — and then when we get them, we complain about them, find ways around them, and then we sue the NCAA,” another ACC head coach said. “Sooner or later, coaches are going to have to decide what they want this ultimately to look like. And if we’re going to continue to find ways around stuff, or sue, then it’s just going to be chaos.”

Lack of talent in 2026 class creates unique recruiting and roster-building strategy for college programs

The summer recruiting period has come to an end, and one of the biggest subjects of conversation around grassroots basketball over the last few months has been the collective strength, or lack thereof, in the rising senior class of 2026.

The summer recruiting period has come to an end, and one of the biggest subjects of conversation around grassroots basketball over the last few months has been the collective strength, or lack thereof, in the rising senior class of 2026.

To be clear, the 2026 class is not viewed as a collectively strong class. In many ways, it is reminiscent of the national class of 2023, which was headlined by the likes of Ron Holland and Isaiah Collier. The lack of star power atop that class led to a relatively weak 2024 NBA Draft. After observing the 2026 recruiting class for the last few years, its clear that the lack of overwhelming talent could have similar implications on the 2027 draft. 

Forward-thinking NBA front offices know the 2027 draft will be weak at the top and have been planning accordingly, even while recognizing that prospects can emerge at various stages, including long after high school. The valuation of draft assets in 2027 are notably lower than say the upcoming 2026 draft, which is viewed as a strong one, or even later ones in 2028 and beyond. 

But what about the implications on college basketball?

The worlds of recruiting and roster construction are vastly different now than they were even just three years ago. It’s still true that the very top prospects often arrive on college campuses with one-and-done expectations. That will again be true with the 2026 group of freshmen. The complicating factor now is that the top-ranked prospects are also expecting premium NIL packages. The big question with this class is just how much money college programs can afford to allocate to these potential freshmen who don’t match the level of talent from the last two classes (2024 and 2025).  Based on our scouting and evaluation of the 2026 class, the return on the top-ranked freshman just won’t be the same in terms of production and impact on winning. 

From my standpoint, this class has some highly talented long-term prospects and some prospects who are very impactful players right now. They don’t have many who check both boxes consistently and reliably right now. 

Prospects like Christian CollinsTahj ArizaCameron Williams, and even Tyran Stokes – have tools to intrigue NBA decision makers even if they’re not prepared to drive winning right away as college freshmen. Collins is the glaring example. He’s the No. 4 player in the 2026 class, but there was a game at the Peach Jam where he only scored two points. His ranking is less a reflection of where his game is right now, and more where we believe it can be in the future. 

Others like Jason Crowe Jr.Jordan Smith, and Caleb Holt probably can impact winning right away, but still have major questions about how they could ultimately translate to the highest levels in a couple of years. Crowe is a prolific scorer but lacks ideal size, length, and athleticism. Smith and Holt have all those physical tools, along with ideal intangibles, but need to expand their skill sets. 

No. 1-ranked Stokes is the only prospect in the 2026 class whose talent matches the top end of the last two classes and who can produce at a similar elite level when he gets going. But Stokes is still inconsistent and isn’t nearly as reliable when it comes to driving winning. Paired with another five-star in Crowe Jr., Stokes and the Oakland Soldiers went 3-2 at the Peach Jam and didn’t even make it out of pool play.

So as the college bluebloods recruit the 2026 class and make financial decisions that impact the entire roster, they have some tough calls to make. College staffs have to weigh the risk and the reward of taking the type of talent who could very possibly underperform relative to their ranking and still get drafted, versus the type who could make an instant impact in college but not have the draft outcome that their ranking normally correlates to.

Ultimately, I’m just not sure you can make a Final Four relying primarily on so-called one-and-done talent in this class. Those players will be costly, eat up too much of the budget, and may not be able to generate the desired immediate return on that investment at the college level. That begs the question – could taking a player ranked outside the top 10 or top 15 who stays two or three years in college be more cost-efficient, productive, and drive winning for more years, be more valuable than spending the money for a one-and-done freshman in the top 10 of the 2026 class?

My expectation is that it just might. So, as counter-intuitive as it may sound, I will not be surprised to see players ranked in the 20s and 30s get more recruitment than players in the top ten. They’ll come at a cheaper price point, still be able to at least contribute right away, and yet be more open-minded to staying for multiple years and growing into bigger roles in time. 

By extension, I think we’ll see programs double down on international markets, the transfer portal, and player retention next spring. Remember, the 2026 NBA Draft looks like a very strong one, so getting players to return for another year could be mutually beneficial for both the individual and collective program.

The college recruitment of high school players has changed drastically over the last few seasons, none more so than what we are seeing for the 2026 cycle. Revenue share, NIL, and the transfer portal play an increasingly large role in how teams construct rosters, creating a direct impact on high school recruiting as well. The lack of high-end talent within the top 10, the strategy and approach that colleges use for this cycle, will be more interesting to track.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Alijah Arenas ‘ college basketball career is on hold before the highly touted freshman has played his first game.

He was diagnosed with a knee injury that will require surgery and rehab is expected to take at least six to eight months, the school said Wednesday.

“Alijah is a tremendous worker, teammate, competitor, and person,” USC coach Eric Musselman. “He is understandably disappointed that he will not be able to take the court to start the season, but his health is our No. 1 priority. We have no doubt that he will come back even stronger. We look forward to supporting him during this process.”

Arenas, whose father Gilbert played in the NBA, was involved in a car crash that left him in an induced coma in April.

He crashed his Tesla Cybertruck into a tree, smoke filled the front cabin and the doors wouldn’t open. He spent nearly 10 minutes in the burning vehicle before bystanders helped pull him to safety.

Arenas was in the hospital for six days but did not suffer major injuries.

He is a five-star recruit and 2025 McDonald’s All-American. The 2024 John R. Wooden High School Player of the Year is also the top scorer in CIF LA City Section history, accumulating 3,002 points in three years of high school.

Murray State baseball is part of the honors given for the 2024-25 American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Team Academic Excellence Award, as announced by the ABCA from their home office in Greensboro, North Carolina.

The ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award honors all levels of collegiate and high school baseball. A team that has a GPA 3.0, or higher makes the team.

 

The Racers achieved at a high level in the classroom as they did on the field in the 2025 season. Under the leadership of Murray State head coach Dan Skirka and his staff, the Racers advanced to the program’s first College World Series appearance in 86 seasons of the program, after winning the Missouri Valley Conference regular season championship, MVC tournament championship and both the Oxford Regional and Durham Super Regional in the NCAA Tournament.

 

Skirka was named to the Mike Martin Award by the National College Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) and he was the MVC Coach of the Year.  Additionally, he was the ABCA Co-Midwest Coach of the Year.

 

Founded in 1945, the ABCA has more than 15,000 members represent all 50 states and 41 countries. Since its initial meeting of 27 college baseball coaches in June 1945, Association membership has broadened to include nine divisions: NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA, Pacific Association Division, High School, Youth and Travel Baseball.
