4-star OT Jake Hildebrand announces commitment date, Oregon in the mix

Offensive linemen are starting to come off the recruiting board around the country, and theOregon Duckshave been key players in several of those races.

USA TODAY

Four-star offensive tackleJake Hildebrandhas been an Oregon target for some time, and he is set to make his decision soon. The Arizona product will announce his commitment on May 19, choosing between theDucks,Arizona State, Texas A&M and Utah.

The 6-foot-5, 285-pound tackle from Basha High School in Arizona is the No. 92 overall player nationally and No. 8 offensive tackle in the 2027 class, per the Rivals Industry Ranking. Hildebrand has been blocking up front for running backNoah Roberts, another Oregon recruiting target who committed to Texas on May 1.

Oregon has cast a wide net for offensive linemen in this recruiting class, and that has led to some movement within the class. The Ducks lost four-star offensive tackleDrew Fielderto USC earlier in the cycle, but the Ducks also landed three-star tackle Avery Michael and recently earned a commitment from four-star guardGus Corsair.

However, the Ducks appear to be facing an uphill battle to win Hildebrand's services. Rivals recruiting expert Brandon Huffman placed a prediction on Arizona State to keep the four-star tackle in-state when he announces his commitment.

Hildebrand has been drawn to NFL development in his recruitment, and the Sun Devils, led by former Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham, certainly can offer that. Arizona State just had a pair of first-round draft picks go to the NFL, including right tackle Max Iheanachor.Oregon offensive line coach A'lique Terryhas also sent multiple linemen to the next level, but the ability to stay close to home has also been a big draw for the Sun Devils.

The Ducks should have more clarity on their offensive line class soon. Four-star tackleCameron Wagneris set to commit on Monday, and all signs are pointing to an Oregon win. Four-star linemanIsmael Camarahasn't locked in a decision date yet, but he appears to be trending toward the Ducks as well after a positive visit for the Oregon spring game.

Hildebrand will announce his decision at 3 p.m. PST from Basha High School on May 19.

Investment 'hugely important' for Linfield - Healy

Linfield manager David Healy says outside investment in the club will be "hugely important" if the Blues are to remain competitive in challenging for silverware in the coming years.

BBC

The south Belfast club finished fourth in the Irish Premiership this season, behind champions Larne, Coleraine and Glentoran.

They won the BetMcLean Cup in March and managed to progress to the Uefa Conference League first qualifying round bybeating Dungannon Swifts 3-1in the European play-off final at Windsor Park on Tuesday, courtesy of a Matthew Fitzpatrick hat-trick.

That victory will reap financial dividends which will help boost the club's coffers for the forthcoming season, but Healy says they are still trailing behind the clubs above them in the division in monetary terms.

"It's been well documented over the past 12 months. We're searching high and low for investment to come in," Healy told BBC Sport NI's Thomas Kane.

"That's going to be hugely important because, if not, it's alright getting the European money, and maybe getting through a round, but we have to generate money from somewhere and if it's not going to be generated, then there's the potential that we'll have to lose one or two of the players, who knows.

"The landscape has changed, Linfield, going back 25 years, could have hand-picked the best players from any football club in this country.

"The likelihood now is that one or two other clubs with significant investment are becoming a more attractive option.

"There probably has to be more of a realisation that we are no longer top of the tree regarding finances."

European money 'not life-changing'

Significant financial backing has allowed Larne, Coleraine and Glentoran to attract footballing talent from across the island of Ireland and beyond, with the Bannsiders snatching star player Joel Cooper from the Blues for the start of the 2025-26 season.

"With the amount of money knocking about the Irish League these days I don't think it [money earned from qualifying for European competition] is life-changing for any club," added Healy.

"But a club like ours, where we're struggling for financial investment or a benefactor, we don't have that, any money that we do get, that we bring in, that we earn, is important.

"The money will help. Next year the budget is certainly going to be down on what it was two years ago, it's going to be down on last year.

"So when you go into next year we'll lose nine or 10 players out of the squad so it's about being selective, a wee bit more proactive in what we bring in."

Despite believing that the Blues trail their main rivals in respect of financial firepower, the Linfield manager knows that expectations remain high at historically the most successful club in the Northern Ireland game.

"Going into next year Linfield Football Club will be I imagine fourth best budget going into it.

"Some of the other part-time clubs will not be that far off, even though they are part-time, so we have a lot of work to do over the coming weeks.

"It doesn't matter where we stand in the budget table, the Linfield fans, it's written in stone around this football club, anyone who knows anything about Irish League football, knows the demands and expectations, so that's a challenge for me.

"It doesn't matter where we are, we're Linfield Football Club, but there's a realisation among most of the board, some of our supporters who sat through the AGM, where we went through the critical numbers, where we are going forward and what we need going forward."

Healy went on to commend his side's display in defeating Rodney McAree's Swifts side on Tuesday night.

"Without sounding disrespectful, I don't think 3-1 flattered us. We should have been further ahead at half-time. We let them off the hook at times with opportunities.

"We probably scored the second goal against the run of play and it was an important goal, it gives you that platform, that cushion to go on and win the game.

"All in all, I thought our performance levels were good. For me the past 17 days have been a huge learning curve about how you peak for a one-off game."

When is the 2026 NBA Draft lottery? Time, format and how to watch

With the2026 NBA Draft lotteryless than 24 hours away, all eyes are on which franchise will claim the prized No. 1 overall pick, a game-changing selection that could alter the trajectory of a team for years to come.

USA TODAY

The NBA Draft lottery uses a randomized drawing to establish the order of the first 14 picks, and for teams looking for help on a much-needed rebuild, landing a top lottery pick can transform a franchise’s outlook. The drawing determines the top four selections, while the remaining lottery teams are assigned picks 5-14 based on their regular-season records, in reverse order.

Picks 15 through 30 in the first round, as well as every selection in the second round, are also assigned in reverse order of the regular-season standings.

This year, theWashington Wizards,Indiana Pacers, andBrooklyn Netseach enter the lottery with the top odds at 14% apiece to land the No. 1 pick. However, the lottery is notorious for its unpredictability, and teams with lower odds have often leapfrogged their way into top selections in past years.

Here’s what you need to know as the NBA Draft lottery unfolds.
