iday.Heath may allow himself a slice of cake tonight, but though he is famed for his cocktail-making, caipirinhas and any other new concoction
Five-star point guard?Quade Green?has committed to Kentucky.Green chose the Wildcats over Syracuse, although Villanova, Temple and Duke were also on his final list of five schools.Syracuse appeared to be the prohibitive favorite for Green for most of the fall, taking the lead from Duke in late August. The Orange hosted Green on at least four visits since the summer, but Green was impressed with Kentucky when he visited Lexington for Big Blue Madness. The Wildcats offered Green in June and remained heavily involved in his recruitment.Green, a Neumann-Goretti High School (Pennsylvania) product, is ranked No. 22 in the ESPN 100 for 2017. The No. 3 point guard in the class, Green pushed into five-star status after an impressive spring and summer with the PSA Cardinals on the Nike EYBL circuit. He averaged 14.9 points, 9.8 assists and 3.2 steals, leading the competition in the latter two categories. At 6-foot-1, Green is at his best when attacking the basket, utilizing change of speed and crafty dribbling ability to beat his man and get into the lane. He has excellent passing vision and has improved his offensive arsenal, including his 3-point shooting, floater and midrange game.Kentucky badly needed guards in the 2017 class, with freshmen DeAaron Fox and Malik Monk and sophomore Isaiah Briscoe all potentially leaving for the NBA draft next spring. There are zero scholarship guards on the roster expected to return to Lexington next season. The Wildcats landed four-star point guard?Shai Gilgeous-Alexander?(No. 44) in the middle of the early signing period, but the two incoming point guards are capable of playing together.Green and Gilgeous-Alexander join a recruiting class that was ranked in the top five entering the week. John Calipari and Kentucky had zero 2017 commits prior to the early signing period, but five-star frontcourt prospects?Nick Richards?(No. 12) and?P.J. Washington?(No. 16) committed on the same day in mid-November.Calipari remains involved with five-star forwards Kevin Knox (No. 7), Mohamed Bamba (No. 4) and Jarred Vanderbilt (No. 23), and he could also look at wing prospects moving forward, primarily Hamidou Diallo (No. 13).Custom Packers Super Bowl Jerseys . On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their campaign.

"Thank you for the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning. In this case, it was soccer weather. The sport moved a step closer to returning to South Florida on Wednesday, when Beckham confirmed he has exercised his option to purchase a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in Miami. http://www.packersonlineteamstore.com/dexter-williams-jersey.html . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. Dean Lowry Super Bowl Jersey . Newcastle dominated in the early stages but City weathered the storm and then raised its game in extra time. Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalkeeper Tim Krul to seal the victory in the 105th. Aaron Jones Super Bowl Jersey .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee.RIO DE JANEIRO -- Liam Heath and Jon Schofield went one better than London 2012 to win silver in the mens K2 200m sprint and the good news for British Canoeing is Schofields paddle is still in one piece.When they won bronze four years ago, the celebrations saw Schofield split his paddle in two. This time it was the water that felt the brunt of his fist-pumping joy and as he later stood assessing just how it feels to be crowned Olympic silver medallist, his paddle was standing upright, complete.I threw a lot of water in the air, Schofield said. The last Olympics I smashed these paddles in half. I was reminded before this race that they are too expensive to do that again.There was this horrible moment of purgatory at the end of the race where the seven of the eight pairs waited nervously to see where they had been placed. Under the beating Rio sun, Spain celebrated, convinced they had done enough to win gold while for the others, the wait took longer than the race.Its such a fast race, Heath said. You cross the line and everyone else crosses the line and youve just got to wait for the judges to pick up the first to finish and then put it up on the board.They strained their eyes at the screen, waiting for confirmation. And then GB flashed up on the screen in second place, having beaten bronze-winning Lithuania by 0.014 seconds.You kind of forget to breathe sometimes, Heath said. You are just sitting there waiting. Its probably not that long but it seems like forever. As soon as we saw it on the board, Jon absolutely went mental.Their improvement ovver the last four years is put down to focus in the gym, getting the diet under control and keeping in touch with the rest of the world, according to Heath while Schofield said the introduction of a new biomechanist has helped make their strokes the most efficient theyve ever been.ddddddddddddThe duo were reluctant to compare the emotions and significance of the medal here compared to London but praised the Lottery funding as key in their development while Schofield highlighted how easy it is for them to train.Were also a country with heaps of water, Schofield said. Theres the Thames, the canal system. And you put that all together and you have a recipe for success.While they have reason for double celebrations -- it was Heaths birthday on Wednesday -- they will have to be put on hold with Heath competing in the K1 200m semifinal on Friday.Heath may allow himself a slice of cake tonight, but though he is famed for his cocktail-making, caipirinhas and any other new concoctions to mark the medal will have to wait.The focus is immediately returned to his next task. Well be keeping it low-key for now, Schofield said and he will return to the wonderfully picturesque Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas on Friday to watch Heath in action.I had a really good race there, Im confident I have some form in me, Heath said. All the training I have done in K2 only improves me in K1. I just have to relax and refocus ahead of the race tomorrow. ' ' '
