Michigan State's Kaleb Glenn out for 2025-26 season
June 20 - Michigan State forward Kaleb Glenn will miss the 2025-26 season after tearing his patellar tendon. Glenn, Michigan State's top-rated incoming transfer, reportedly suffered the injury during a non-contact shooting drill. The Florida Atlantic transfer was scheduled to have surgery on his right knee on Thursday. The 6-foot-7 Glenn averaged 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds with a 53.1 field goal percentage for FAU last season as the team's leading scorer. One of three incoming transfers to the Spartans' 2025-26 team, Glenn ranked as the No. 15 small forward and the No. 81 overall player in the transfer portal. The Louisville, Ky. native was also a second-team All-American Athletic Conference honoree. Glenn transferred to Michigan State in April and will now have to redshirt for the upcoming season. He has two more years of eligibility. "I feel terrible for Kaleb and for his family, but we will be with them throughout this process," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said in a statement. "It's awful that this happened just a couple of weeks after he got here in East Lansing and was working out with the guys and getting to know them. "In just a short time with us since he committed, we have really enjoyed having him and his family as part of our program. We're going to do everything that we can to support him and get him back on the floor." --Field Level Media

Michigan State basketball head coach Tom Izzo releases statement on Kaleb Glenn's injury
Michigan State basketball head coach Tom Izzo releases statement on Kaleb Glenn's injury Michigan State basketball suffered a tremendous blow to their roster after FAU transfer forward Kaleb Glenn suffered a season ending injury, tearing his patellar tendon, requiring surgery and ending his 2025-26 season. With the injury, the Spartans are now left scrambling, with head coach Tom Izzo having to take a new route in his roster construction and how he plans to manage the team heading into his 32nd year at the helm in East Lansing. Glenn was an addition that Izzo was very excited for, being the type of character player that the Spartans want to have in the program, and giving MSU a dynamic element. This feels like a massive blow to Izzo, despite him never having played in the green and white. Following the loss, Izzo released a comment regarding the injury and the plans going forward: "I feel terrible for Kaleb and for his family but we will be with them throughout this process. It's awful that this just happened a few weeks after he got here in East Lansing and was working out with the guys and getting to know them. In just a short time with us since he committed, we have really enjoyed having him and his family a part of our program. We're going to do everything that we can to support him and get him back on the floor."

AI Turns Smartphone Camera into Diagnostic Tool for Balance and Eye Disorders - Jordan News
AI Turns Smartphone Camera into Diagnostic Tool for Balance and Eye Disorders Researchers have developed an innovative diagnostic tool powered by artificial intelligence that uses a smartphone camera and cloud computing to detect nystagmus—rapid, involuntary eye movements often associated with balance and neurological disorders. اضافة اعلان A Low-Cost Remote Diagnostic Alternative Unlike traditional and expensive diagnostic methods like videonystagmography (VNG)—which can cost over $100,000—the new AI-based tool offers a low-cost, user-friendly alternative for remote diagnostics. The system tracks 468 facial landmarks in real time, analyzes eye movement velocity, and generates ready-to-review reports for physicians. Early testing shows that the tool performs comparably to advanced medical equipment, expanding the possibilities of telehealth solutions. How the Diagnostic Tool Works Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly vital role in modern medicine, particularly in medical image analysis. However, most existing models rely on static data, limiting their real-time diagnostic ability. To overcome this, researchers from Florida Atlantic University (FAU), along with other collaborators, developed a prototype powered by deep learning to detect nystagmus, a symptom linked to vestibular and neurological disorders. Unlike traditional tools like VNG or ENG—which are costly, cumbersome, and uncomfortable—the new tool offers a convenient, reliable method for detecting abnormal eye and balance conditions. Patients can record their eye movements using their smartphones and upload the video to a cloud-based platform. The system then analyzes the footage and provides remote diagnostic feedback from specialists—all without the need for clinic visits. Precision Eye Tracking with AI The AI system tracks specific facial points in high resolution to analyze eye motion and assess the slow-phase velocity (SPV)—a key metric used to determine the severity, duration, and direction of nystagmus. The results are presented through easy-to-interpret charts and reports for healthcare professionals. Promising Results and Ongoing Development In a preliminary study published in Cureus and involving 20 participants, the AI tool's results were closely aligned with those from traditional medical equipment, validating its clinical accuracy. Dr. Ali Danesh, lead researcher and professor at FAU, stated: 'Our AI model offers a promising alternative that can complement—or in some cases replace—traditional diagnostic methods, especially in telemedicine environments.' He added: 'By integrating deep learning with cloud computing, we make remote diagnostics more flexible, affordable, and accessible, especially for patients in rural and underserved areas.' The system was trained on over 15,000 videos capturing a wide range of eye movements, and it uses smart filtering algorithms to exclude normal eye activity like blinking for more accurate readings. A Tool for Modern Telehealth Beyond diagnostics, the tool helps streamline clinical workflows. Physicians can access AI-generated reports through telehealth platforms, compare them with electronic health records (EHRs), and design personalized treatment plans. Patients benefit from fewer in-person visits, lower costs, and easier follow-up assessments by uploading new video clips to monitor their condition over time. Dr. Harshal Sanghvi, postdoctoral fellow at FAU's College of Medicine and first author of the study, noted: 'Though our technology is still in its early stages, it has the potential to redefine care for patients with vestibular and neurological disorders. Its non-invasive and real-time analysis makes it highly scalable—from clinics and ERs to patients' homes.' The research team is now focused on refining the model's accuracy, expanding clinical trials across broader demographics, and obtaining FDA approval for widespread medical use.

Texas A&M is reportedly pursuing Cal State Fullerton star short stop
Texas A&M is reportedly pursuing Cal State Fullerton star short stop Texas A&M baseball's roster will look significantly different in 2026, primarily due to the departure of junior star outfielder Jace LaViolette, who is expected to enter the 2025 MLB Draft, along with several pitchers, including Ryan Prager and Justin Lamkin, who have yet to announce their decisions. Still, nothing compares to the last month's news regarding Texas A&M Athletic Director Trev Alberts' decison to retain head coach Michael Earley, whose inagural season ended with a dissapointing 30-26 (11-19 SEC) record, including a series sweeping loss to lowly Missouri, which all but eliminated the Aggies from the NCAA Tournament. Given a second chance, Earely will need dominate the transfer portal, which, outside of adding three veterans, pitchers Michael (MJ) Bollinger (FAU), Preston Prince (Rutgers), and star outfielder Jake Duer, also an FAU transfer, he will need to continue bolstering the roster to have any chance at competing in the always stacked SEC next season. This week, it was revealed that star Cal Fullerton shortstop Maddox Latta has entered the transfer portal. According to AggieYell (Rivals) Editor Mark Passwaters, Texas A&M is in pursuit, which could lead to a future visit. Currently, junior shortstop Kaeden Kent has yet to announce his return for next season, and although his return is assumed, nothing is guaranteed. Last season, Latta was highly productive, leading Cal Fullerton with a .362 batting average, 72 hits, 27 RBI, and three home runs.

As FIU fades, push for a Trump presidential library shifts to downtown Miami
Could Miami's Freedom Tower have a MAGA tourist attraction as a neighbor? Eric Trump, the presidential son helping vet sites for his father's future library, earlier this year visited parking lots next to the historic building in downtown Miami as part of the vetting process for potential sites, a Trump Organization lawyer said. Multiple sources said the land on Biscayne Boulevard, owned by Miami Dade College, is being eyed as a potential library site — with enough space to display the Boeing 747 jet that President Donald Trump secured for free from Qatar and may want to be a star feature of his post-presidential center. Miami Dade College also owns the Freedom Tower, an iconic building that once welcomed Cubans fleeing the Fidel Castro dictatorship. Representatives of the school were not available for comment Thursday. While Trump's Miami backers are trying to woo the library their way, the president himself appears to have a favorite site about 45 miles away. The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Trump's team is close to an agreement to build his presidential library on free land provided by Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. Sources familiar with the Miami push confirm that FAU looks like the preferred choice, and there's an effort to pitch the downtown site as a satellite location aimed at Miami's steady stream of vacationers and business travelers. 'It's going to be smaller and more of a tourist attraction,' one source familiar with the plan said. But a Miami lawyer representing Trump's resort business said he sees the two-acre Miami Dade College site between Northeast Fifth Street and Northeast Sixth Street as still viable for the main library. 'In my opinion, the Miami Dade College property is the most impressive site for a presidential library,' said Felix Lasarte, the Miami lawyer Trump hired to help secure zoning approval for an expansion of the Trump National Doral golf resort after he left office in 2021. 'It would become an iconic library instantly.' Lasarte said he has remained in touch with Trump after the 2024 election but works mostly with the Trump Organization as its Miami lawyer. The leading position for FAU reflects what multiple sources say is the increasingly fading position for Florida International University, the other state school on the short list of potential Trump library sites. The Miami Herald reported in January that FAU in Palm Beach County was considered the Trump favorite, with FIU hoping to convince the president's camp that Miami-Dade County's global appeal, proximity to the Trump Doral resort and newly red politics made FIU the better pick. In November, Trump was the first Republican presidential candidate to win Miami-Dade since 1988, beating Kamala Harris by 11 points. Palm Beach County remained blue, with Harris beating Trump by less than a point. Eric Trump has also visited FIU as part of the library hunt, Lasarte said. But FAU sits less than 25 miles from Trump's home at the private club he owns in Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago. Miami is about a 70-mile drive from the palatial oceanfront property. FIU representatives were not available for comment on Thursday. Lasarte said he's been pitching FIU as a good option — including the potential for a library on the school's waterfront campus north of Miami. 'Obviously, a site at FIU would be great, too,' he said. So far, the known potential sites for a Trump library are owned by schools under state control, meaning Gov. Ron DeSantis would be playing the role of land benefactor if the Trump camp lands a deal before the term-limited governor exits in 2026. An FAU spokesperson was not available for comment Thursday. If Miami Dade College would try to match FAU with free land, a Trump library would mean giving up potential development profits for the commuter school. The parking lots by the Freedom Tower sit across from the new $6 billion Miami Worldcenter retail complex in the heart of downtown Miami. A Trump library downtown would also bring a tribute to a president presiding over a massive deportation effort next to an iconic structure linked to Miami's historic embrace of immigrants. One of Miami's first skyscrapers, the building served as the Cuban Refugee Center in the 1960s and '70s. Florida's Republican-controlled Legislature has been trying to coax Trump, a longtime New Yorker who's now a Florida resident, into building his library in the Sunshine State. Earlier this year, the Legislature passed a law barring local governments from passing ordinances to restrict presidential libraries, making the state the entity that would have authority over a future Trump library. 'The entire intent behind the bill was really to try and roll out the welcome mat for Florida's first presidential library,' said state Sen. Jason Brodeur, a Republican from Central Florida and the bill's sponsor. Should the downtown Miami site win Trump's favor, the resulting building in the city's downtown would likely be far taller than what would be built at FAU, a suburban campus next to the Boca Raton Airport. As Lasarte envisions it, a downtown Miami Trump library would rise up south of the Freedom Tower. While he declined to get into the specifics of the kind of structure being pitched for the location, Lasarte said the design would accommodate a presidential plane if Trump can take it with him when he leaves office. 'I think you can fit an Air Force One on that site,' he said. Miami Herald staff writer Garrett Shanley contributed to this report.
