GAINESVILLE — Florida Gators football coach Billy Napier and his brethren have been bracing for a roster reckoning spurred by the House v. NCAA antitrust settlement. The landmark legislation went into effect Tuesday, but sweeping changes remained on the horizon, not yet at the doorstep. With fall camp scheduled to start at month’s end, Napier’s roster stands at 117 players — a dozen above the proposed future limit of 105. “When we got the job, there were certain parameters around how you build your roster. We proceeded that way,” Napier said at the SEC Spring Meetings on May 28 in Destin....

FORT LAUDERDALE — To say his last 48 hours have been a whirlwind would be an understatement. Mads Kongsbak Klyvo — the Danish forward taken No. 112 by the Florida Panthers in the fourth round of the NHL draft — was at home in Denmark, gathered around the TV with his family, when he heard his name called on Saturday afternoon. Just 48 hours later, the 18 year old was on the ice in Fort Lauderdale. “It’s been pretty overwhelming,” Klyvo said on Monday after the Panthers’ first practice of player development camp. “I got a call quite quickly after the draft, and then we figured out a flight to...

MIAMI GARDENS — Despite a loud crowd of Flamengo supporters that made Hard Rock Stadium sound like it had moved to Rio de Janeiro, German powerhouse club Bayern Munich survived its Round of 16 bout with the Brazilian side and advanced to the Club World Cup quarterfinals with a 4-2 win on Sunday. Bayern will face reigning Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain, which eliminated Inter Miami on Sunday, in the quarterfinals in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday.

UF football position preview: Cornerbacks

GAINESVILLE — The ninth in a position-by-position preview of the UF football team leading up to the opening of fall camp. TODAY: CORNERBACK What to expect The Gators’ longstanding claim to DBU, the fictional Defensive Backs University, has become empty words. A program that churned out three NFL first-rounders at cornerback and four second-rounders from 2016-22 has sent one to the NFL in three years — fifth-rounder Jason Marshall Jr. in 2025. UF corners did make some statistical strides in 2024, finishing with 4 interceptions after managing just one in ’23 and cutting the average yards per...

Heat go without selection in Thursday night’s second round of NBA draft; roster set or fluid?

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on June 27, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — As expected, the Miami Heat sat out Thursday night’s second round of the NBA draft, after entering the night without a selection. The Heat had the ability to purchase a selection, but, by rule, by sending out cash in such a transaction it would have hard-capped the team at the second-apron of the NBA luxury tax for the entire 2025-26 season. Instead, next up is the free-for-all that follows the draft as teams stock summer rosters with undrafted free agents. The Heat pick in Thursday night’s second round was dealt in 2019 to the Indiana Pacers as part of a package of three future...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on June 27, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — Florida guard Alijah Martin was positioned for a good night when the NBA invited him to the green room for the second round of the draft. The odds backcourt mate Will Richard would hear his name called were not nearly as favorable. By night’s end, the Gators’ national championship backcourt completed the trifecta. Martin didn’t have to wait too long Thursday night at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, landing with the Toronto Raptors just nine picks into the second round in the No. 39 spot. With four picks to go in two-round, 60-player event, Richard landed with the Golden...

GAINESVILLE — UF All-American guard Walter Clayton Jr. was cool-headed and in control on his way to a national championship, but the 22-year-old let the tears flow Wednesday night as his NBA dream became reality. In a head-spinning turn of events for one of the draft’s fastest-rising players, Clayton was selected with the No. 18 pick by the Washington Wizards, who promptly traded Clayton to the Utah Jazz. Clayton rose into first-round consideration after a spectacular, national championship senior season with the Gators. As the draft neared, his stock continued to climb. Clayton attended...
