Way-Too-Early Top 25: Teams on the rise in version 2.0

With a piece of a 36-hole lead for the first time in more than three years, golf fans began Saturday wondering if this would finally be the week that Tiger Woods wins again. Woods began his third round at the Tour Championship with a birdie blitz that was impressive by even peak Tiger standards, carding six 3s on his first seven holes. After using three different putters in his three previous tournaments, Woods seems to have found the right one.

It looked like Michigan basketball’s last big offseason move was going to be the adding Coastal Carolina transfer guard DeVante’ Jones, but freshman center Hunter Dickinson made waves by declaring for the 2021 NBA Draft late last week, just before the declaration deadline and later than most others who are going through the process. Now, the Wolverines have to wait — potentially up until July 7, the deadline for early entrants to return without losing their college eligibility — on Dickinson, a second-team All-America last year and the team’s reigning leading scorer and rebounder. Michigan certainly isn’t the only team that doesn’t know exactly what its roster will look like come Nov. 5, the beginning of the college basketball season.
