Sleeper Picks

Sleeper Picks

Jeremy Paul (+500) … For last week’s Valspar Championship, I had earmarked Sam Ryder for a Top 40 for Sleepers, but FanDuel didn’t have a market and Ryder seemingly was a reach for a Top 20. Lo and behold, he delivered a T16 punctuated by a nothing-but-net ace on the par-3 17th hole in the third round. (Shout out to my colleague, Chris Breece, for connecting with Ryder at +150 for a Top 40 at DraftKings in his weekly Bank Builder, so the bet was covered in our Golfbet content.) I also had Paul on the shortlist for the same bet, so he also was omitted in the absence of a market. That said, the German gave investors in for a Top 20 a wild ride that resulted in a T22, 17 places lower than where he started the final round. Still, with that and a T16 in his previous start at the Puerto Rico Open, he remains in the crosshairs. The rookie is inside the top 30 on the PGA TOUR in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee and greens in regulation, exactly the skill set required to get over on Memorial Park.

STOCKTON, Calif. – The Pacific volleyball program stayed in the Northern California area to find its two newest recruits in freshmen Avery LaPlaca from Sacramento and Gracie Armato from Brentwood, bringing Head Coach Greg Gibbons‘ roster up to 15 student-athletes.

LaPlaca, out of Sacramento Country Day High School, lettered three times in her high school career as a defensive specialist compiling over 100 aces and three league titles, highlighted by a trip to the state semi-finals in 2023. A standout student as well, LaPlaca made her high school’s honor roll all four years and will be majoring in Health, Exercise and Sport Science.

She enters the Tiger family already with deep immediate family roots at Pacific as her grandfather, Nick LaPlaca (1968), was a member of both the football and baseball programs while her brother, Nick Santos LaPlaca (2024), was also a member of the baseball program.

Armato, a recent graduate of Heritage High School, ended her high school career as the record holder for single season kills, the league MVP and the BVAL MVP. Also, a prolific student, Armato was a member of her high school honor roll, a scholar athlete, received Heritage High School’s Athletic Director’s Academic Award and a California State Seal of Civic Engagement. While at Pacific, she will be pursuing a degree in business marketing/advertising.

“Avery brings depth at the defensive position and Gracie is a very experienced setter with amazing energy and an extreme competitor. They add a lot to our team and excited to get started,” Gibbons said.

Pacific volleyball returns to the court for its 2025 season on August 29 against Cal Baptist in Northridge, Calif.

SINGAPORE — UC Santa Barbara Men’s Water Polo alumnus Sam Nangle is set to earn his fifth cap for the Australian National Team next month, with the three-time All-American earning a spot on the Aussie Sharks’ squad for the World Championships in Singapore, beginning on July 12. Nangle made his senior debut in Green and Gold shortly after wrapping up his Gaucho career, with his first cap coming in March of 2023.
 
Nangle and Australia have been drawn in Group B, alongside Spain, Japan and Hungary, opening their run at the competition against the Hungarians on July 12 at 2:35 a.m. Pacific Time. They will face Spain on July 14 at 1 a.m. Pacific, then conclude group play against Japan at 7:35 p.m. Pacific on July 15. The placement rounds begin on July 17, with the finals set for July 24. Australia finished 11th at the 2024 championship and 10th in 2023; their best-ever finish of fourth came in 1998.
 
This will be Nangle’s first visit to the World Championships with the senior team, but he attended back-to-back Junior World Championships in 2016 and 2017. After those tournaments, he arrived in Santa Barbara and began making his mark as a Gaucho, averaging over a goal per game as a freshman in 2018. He was the team’s top scorer in both 2021 and 2022, with the former being a career-best 48-goal campaign for the left-handed center. He earned All-America Honorable Mention in 2019, 2021 and 2022, collecting All-Golden Coast Conference honors all three years as well. Following his graduation from UC Santa Barbara, he embarked on a professional career that has taken him across Europe, first with G.S. Peristeri in Greece and now with C.N. Caballa in Spain.
