College baseball is about to get a major tech upgrade with the official approval of the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) for experimental use across all NCAA divisions. Teams will have three challenges per game to contest calls, keeping all three if correct or losing one if wrong — designed to reduce human error and emotion in crucial decisions. Coaches like Wes Johnson and Tim Corbin support it, seeing it as a step toward consistency and fairness. The system, already tested successfully in the SEC Tournament and used in MLB, aims to standardize the strike zone, cut down on ejections, and help players aiming for pro careers. Next season, expect to see this tech reshaping how college games are called — bringing modern precision to America’s pastime.

Oklahoma State’s women’s basketball team is firing on all cylinders with a loaded transfer portal class and a brutal non-conference schedule designed to test their mettle. They open at home against Southern, a NCAA Tournament regular, before facing Morgan State and Northwestern State. The road trip hits Tulsa and South Dakota State — the latter who ended their season last year — before they host St. John’s and North Texas, plus a Little Rock showdown before Thanksgiving. The 28.5 Hoops Invitational in Kansas City brings Wichita State, Jacie Hoyt’s alma mater, while a Florida stop adds more firepower. December ramps up with Oral Roberts at home, then a massive clash with powerhouse South Carolina — four of the last five national champs — followed by the highly anticipated Bedlam showdown against Oklahoma in OKC. Expect fireworks, pressure, and high stakes from Day One.

Payton Jones, a four-star combo guard and top-2027 recruit, is heating up the college basketball recruiting scene with his official visit to Clemson — the first stop on a tour that includes Oklahoma State, Maryland, and Boston College. Already showing elite Division I talent since middle school, Jones exploded onto the scene as a sophomore, averaging 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals per game while leading his team to a state title run. His standout AAU performances this summer only intensified his buzz, earning him multiple scholarship offers. Now at Dynamic Prep in the Overtime Elite League, he’s entering his junior year in one of the nation’s most competitive developmental environments. While Oklahoma State currently leads the race, Clemson’s push could change everything — and with visits still ahead, the final destination remains anyone’s guess.
