De Zerbi vows Spurs can win last 5 to survive
Roberto de Zerbi believes Tottenham can win their last five games to avoid relegation.
Oregon Ducks lose out on star transfer guard Preston Edmead, who has committed to NC State. Edmead was a top target for Oregon after a successful season at Hofstra.
After hosting Hofstra Pride transfer Preston Edmead for a visit earlier this week, the Oregon Ducks will have to set their sights on anther point guard. Per On3's Joe Tipton, Edmead has committed to the NC State Wolfpack, shunning the Ducks and ending up with a program entering its first offseason with newly-hired head coach Justin Gainey.
Edmead was easily one of Oregon's top targets in the transfer portal, as he was the CAA Freshman of the Year in his first season with the Pride, averaging 16.1 points, 4.4 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game. He helped lead Hofstra to a CAA championship, earning a berth in the NCAA tournament in which Edmead scored 24 points and knocked down six threes against the fourth-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide.
The transfer portal departure of 2024-25 third-team All-Big Ten point guard Jackson Shelstad, who started 77 of his 79 games as a Duck, hit the program hard. Both Wei Lin and Jamari Phillips, Oregon's other primary ball-handlers from last season, also hit the portal, putting an immediate emphasis on head coach Dana Altman and his staff to land a point guard in the portal themselves.
But, per his commitment this morning, that won't be Edmead.
Thus far, Altman has received commitments from a trio of forwards in San Francisco' Tyrone Riley, Boise State's forward Andrew Meadow and San Diego State's Pharaoh Compton. Riley will bring some ball-handling ability to the Ducks' lineup in 2026-27, but he was never the primary conductor for the Dons.
The Ducks have reportedly been in contact with several other guards, but the vacancy left by Shelstad has still yet to be filled.

Preston Edmead committed to NC State, likely influenced by the program's new head coach Justin Gainey and the opportunity for a fresh start.
At Hofstra, Edmead averaged 16.1 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game, earning the title of CAA Freshman of the Year.
Edmead's commitment to NC State leaves Oregon in need of a point guard, especially after the departures of Jackson Shelstad and other key ball-handlers.
