2021 five-star point guard Khristian Lander announced his commitment to Indiana on Tuesday night. Louisville, Michigan, and Memphis were the other schools involved in his final recruitment.

Lander said “I’m thinking about going 2020 very strongly but I’m not for sure yet” in an article reported by espn. Lander is currently ranked number twelve overall in the junior rankings in the href=”http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/playerrankings/_/class/2021/order/true”>2021 ESPN 60.

Forward Shareef O’Neal announces move to LSU

Like father like son. Former UCLA Forward Shareef O’Neal is transferring to his dad’s alma mater, LSU. Shareef will play for his father, Shaq’s old school LSU. In an ESPN article, Shareef said that the death of his father’s old teammate, Kobe Bryant, made “him focus more.” This is after Shareef was diagnosed with “a right anomalous coronary artery and undergoing open-heart surgery to correct the issue” thus missing his first season on campus in Los Angeles. O’Neal was averaging over two points and almost three rebounds per game before his move. Shareef was ranked as the no. 32 prospect in the 2018 ESPN 100.

What an SEC-Big 12 challenge in football would look like

What if we took a week during the college football season to have teams from the SEC play a team with the same standing a year ago in the Big 12 like in college basketball and have them play during a week of primarily non-conference games. Here’s what it would look like:

Oklahoma at. LSU
We are going to rotate who gets home field advantage but the reigning national champs have to start it with home field in a rematch of the CFP Semifinal.

Alabama at. Baylor
Will moving on from Matt Rhule do Baylor any favors? I don’t think so. Alabama would defintely be favored in this game.

Texas at. Florida
A match up of blue bloods in the swamp will be a defensive battle.

Auburn at. Oklahoma State
Auburn would have a great chance in this game to notch a key non-conference win in this one.

Kansas State at. Tennessee
This would be a fun game between two fairly new head coaches at the FBS level.

Texas A&M at. Iowa State
In a match up of high powered offenses, who would get the defensive stop down the stretch to break the game open.

West Virginia at. South Carolina
Two different offenses collide in an unusual match up.

Kentucky at. TCU
With a receiver at QB, Kentucky would have to find out a way to get the ball past a pretty good horned frogs defense.

Texas Tech at. Mississippi State
New Mississippi State Head Coach Mike Leach faces his former team, Texas Tech.

Ole Miss at. Kansas
Ole Miss is more talented than Kansas, but the rebels do face an old enemy in Kansas Head Coach Les Miles.

Left Out:Arkansas, Missouri, Vanderbilt

Reacting to the Chiefs comeback win over the 49ers in Super Bowl 54

For a third time this postseason, the Kansas City Chiefs trailed big in the postseason. It took three clutch drives by QB Patrick Mahomes and three stout defensive series by the Chiefs defense to seal it. They proved that they could win on the biggest stage even if they were down by ten entering the fourth quarter. Congratulations to the Chiefs and everyone involved in the organization.

cbhsports 2020 Super Bowl 54 Preview

Super Bowl
San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Hard Rock Stadium (Miami,FL)
Sunday February 2, 5:30 PM CT
FOX

Though the Chiefs are favored in this game, the 49ers have been the best team in football this season. Let’s take a look at how each position battle fares. The Chiefs have the 49ers quarterback wise as Patrick Mahomes is a top five NFL QB and Jimmy Garappolo is not even a top ten QB. At running back the 49ers have em. At tight end, it is an even match up as the game’s two best tight ends will square off in Kansas City’s Travis Kelce and San Francisco’s George Kittle. The offensive line battle is even. Wide Receivers are owned by Kansas City. On defense just overall the 49ers are so much better than the Chiefs are. This is a fifty-fifty game so I’m going to go with the 49ers. Prediction:49ers 34, Chiefs 33

Reacting to Kobe’s death

I am so sad right now because of the death of one of the greatest to ever lace em up has died suddenly in a helicopter crash. Kobe Bryant died Sunday in a helicopter crash along with eight others (including his daughter Gigi). Kobe brought so much and I am sad that he is gone. It seems like his twenty year career ended yesterday. It seems like his final game (where he scored 60 POINTS) was yesterday. Rest In Peace Kobe. You will forever be a legend.

What the NBA Playoffs would look like if they began today

This post was made on Sunday January 19, 2020 so that’s what the records are from.

Eastern Conference

1.Milwaukee Bucks (38-6)
8.Brooklyn Nets (18-23)

With Kyrie Irving sitting a lot for the Nets, this series wouldn’t be too much for Giannis and the gang.

4.Boston Celtics (27-14)
5.Indiana Pacers (27-15)

Both of these teams have improved, but once Indiana gets star Victor Oladipo back, these two would have a great clash.

3.Toronto Raptors (28-14)
6.Philadelphia 76ers (28-16)

Last year’s ECSF, would be an excellent first round match up even though a lot of basketball still has to be played. But, in this series I’m picking the 76ers any day if they’re at full strength.

2.Miami Heat (29-12)
7.Orlando Magic (20-23)

An all sunshine state battle is in the first round of the playoffs. Kendrick Nunn, Jimmy Butler, and the Heat would have no problems with the Magic, though.

Western Conference

1.Los Angeles Lakers (34-8)
8.Memphis Grizzlies (20-22)

What a fun first round series this would be. Ja Morant and the young Grizzlies facing off versus LeBron and the Lakers.

4.Utah Jazz (29-13)
5.Dallas Mavericks (27-15)

I don’t think Utah wants to see Dallas in the first round, with the excellent play of Guard Luka Doncic, but this will be a competitive series.

3.LA Clippers (30-13)
6.Houston Rockets (26-15)

Another fun series with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George battling Russell Westbrook and James Harden for the right to get to the WCSF.

2.Denver Nuggets (29-12)
7.Oklahoma City Thunder (24-19)

Denver should dominate this series.

cbhsports 2020 NFL AFC and NFC Championships Preview:Predicting who will be headed to Miami

AFC Championship
Tennessee Titans at. Kansas City Chiefs
Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City,MO)
Sunday January 19, 2:05 PM CT
CBS

Before I say anything about this game, Tennessee has had to play two almost perfect games for them to get here. First, they had to beat what many people call the “GOAT” in Tom Brady and his New England Patriots. Then, they beat the presumable MVP this season and the Baltimore Ravens, who were playing the best football in the NFL this season many think. But the way that the Chiefs mounted a comeback, coming back from 24 down, was magical. Plus, I don’t see the Titans coming into Arrowhead and beating this Chiefs team. So, I’ve got the Chiefs but watch out for the Titans. Prediction:Chiefs 38, Titans 28

NFC Championship
Green Bay Packers at. San Francisco 49ers
Levi Stadium (San Francisco,CA)
Sunday January 19, 5:40 PM CT
FOX

The last time these two teams squared off, the 49ers walked into Lambeau Field and destroyed this Packers team. But with a trip to Miami (the Super Bowl) on the line, things may be a little different. So, I give the home team in this one an advantage too. And not just for that reason. Using their running game and defense to get to this game might have been easy but now young QB Jimmy Garapollo will have to step up and make big time throws against the Green Bay defense. On the other side of things, Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur led the Packers to the NFC Championship in his first year there. But, like in their first matchup this season, the 49ers will fluster QB Aaron Rodgers and will come away a win away from winning the Super Bowl. Prediction:49ers 24, Packers 20

cbhsports 2020 CFB CFP National Championship Preview:Previewing and Predicting the national championship

CFP National Championship
3.Clemson vs. 1.LSU
Mercedes-Benz Superdome
New Orleans, Louisiana
8 PM ET, ESPN/ESPN App

Two of the best quarterbacks in the country meet in the CFP National Championship between LSU’s Heisman winner Joe Burrow and Clemson’s phenom Trevor Lawrence. Both teams have receivers that are long and tall including Clemson’s Justyn Ross and Tee Higgins and LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Terrace Marshall. It’s the defenses though that will change the game. Whoever’s defense can step up and make plays down the stretch. That is what will determine the game. Prediction:LSU 55, Clemson 45
