CHAMPAIGN — New Illinois trainer Bret Bielema stated Monday he hopes to have a team of workers in position via early January and is already targeting homegrown recruiting. “I called (the Illinois Department of Transportation) and told them to put up roadblocks so kids won’t be allowed to leave the state,” he joked at his introductory information convention. “Seriously, I can’t tell you how many Illinois high school football coaches I have talked to already. We are making Illinois kids a priority here.” Bielema, a local of tiny Prophetstown in northwestern Illinois, replaces Lovie Smith, who went 17-39 general in his five-year tenure and posted a 10-33 Big Ten report. Bielema’s preliminary contract is for 6 years starting with

NBA Rumors: Celtics Were Concerned Markelle Fultz Wasn’t A Winner
Share this: Markelle Fultz is a remarkable talent on the basketball court, but is the likely No. 1 overall selection in the 2017 NBA Draft a winner? The Washington guard led his team to a 9-22 record in his only season in Seattle, and apparently, that’s one of the reasons the Boston Celtics opted to pass on the multi-faceted Fultz when they reportedly agreed to trade the top selection in Thursday’s draft to the Philadelphia 76ers. I'm told in addition to this, Boston "had serious concerns about Fultz being a winner. Too many red flags there to pick him at #1." https://t.co/JqKes2BIAZ — Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) June 18, 2017 The C’s reportedly will receive the No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 draft, as well

Magic Johnson Told Luke Walton Lakers Will ‘Get Top-Three Pick’ In NBA Draft
Share this: The Los Angeles Lakers only have a 46.9 percent chance of keeping their first-round pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, but head coach Luke Walton isn’t too concerned about that. If the Lakers pick falls outside of the top three then it becomes the property of the Philadelphia 76ers, which could be detrimental to the team’s attempted rebuild. Walton revealed on the CBS Sports program “We Need To Talk,” that he had a conversation with team president of basketball operations Magic Johnson in which he received some news about the Lakers’ potential pick. “Magic’s already assured me that we’re going to get our top-three pick this year, so I’m excited about that,” Walton said, as transcribed by Bleacher Report’s Zac Wassink.

Steelers Reportedly Upset Over Antonio Brown Chasing Stats In Patriots Loss
Share this: For all of his incredible talent, Antonio Brown might be on thin ice with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After creating a distraction with his ill-conceived Facebook Live video, the Steelers wide receiver delivered a solid yet unspectacular performance against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, catching seven passes for 77 yards in Pittsburgh’s 36-17 loss. But more concerning to the Steelers, apparently, was one play early in Sunday’s game when running back DeAngelo Williams scored the team’s first touchdown. According to NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala, Brown was seen pouting after the score. “His team just scored a touchdown and he was upset that he was wide open and (quarterback Ben) Roethlisberger didn’t go to him,” Kinkhabwala, who was on Pittsburgh’s sideline during
