In the NCAA transfer portal era, college football players staying at the same program can be as newsworthy as those who decide to leave.On Saturday, true freshman running back Darius Taylor said he would remain with the Gophers for the 2024 season. Given the precocious start to his collegiate career and the poaching that can occur from big, deeper-pocketed programs, this represents a big win for Minnesota.Taylor’s early success with the Gophers induced warnings from head coach P.J.

The NHL suspended Hartman two games for the slew foot on Monday, the same day Wild general manager Bill Guerin fired Dean Evason as head coach.“That wasn’t intentional,” Hartman said.Regardless, he has been an observer for the Wild’s first two games under new coach John Hynes, convincing victories against St. Louis and Nashville. When Hartman hits the ice for Sunday’s 1 p.m. puck drop a...
