NFL News: Andy Reid: Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco had offseason surgery


Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco is recovering from offseason surgery, head coach Andy Reid confirmed Monday.

Pacheco played in Super Bowl LVII with a torn labrum and a broken hand, according to reports over the weekend.

“He’s making progress,” Reid told reporters. “We’ll just see how it goes. I can’t even give you a timeline.”

Reid also updated the condition of first-round draft pick Felix Anudike-Uzomah, who was limited in rookie practice, which concluded Monday. Reid said the defensive end, who played at Kansas State, had surgery on his right thumb before the draft.

“He did a little bit more today than he did yesterday and we’ll just keep gradually bringing him back in,” Reid said. “Today, he had his helmet on and did a little bit more. You’d hope maybe Phase 3, but you don’t know. We’ll just see how he feels.”

Pacheco, 24, rose from a seventh-round pick in the 2022 draft to starter. He started 11 of 17 games and ran for 830 yards with five touchdowns and added 130 receiving yards.

Anudike-Uzomah, 21, appeared in 32 games (27 starts) at Kansas State. The Kansas City native tied for sixth in school history with 20.5 sacks and fourth in career forced fumbles with eight.

What to Expect From Valvoline’s Upcoming Q2 Earnings?

0


RBC Capital analysts provided their outlook on Valvoline Inc. (NYSE:VVV) ahead of the upcoming Q2/23 earnings announcement, scheduled on May 10.
The analysts expect quarterly revenue of $347 million (vs. Street’s $349 million), which implies a growth rate of 17% year-over-year, driven by an 11% system-wide Same Store Sales growth and a 7.5% unit growth (both in-line with the Street estimates). Based on their channel work, the analysts think their estimates are achievable. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $81 million (vs. Street’s $86 million).
After a noisy Q1 report, the company has become somewhat of a show me story. The analysts believe simply hitting their estimates will be enough to drive shares higher.

Essent Reports Better Than Expected Q1 Earnings Results

0


Essent Group (NYSE:ESNT) reported its Q1 earnings results on Friday, with EPS coming in at $1.59, above the Street estimate of $1.46. Revenue was $256.25 million, beating the Street estimate of $250.26 million.
The company’s quarterly results built on its 2022 performance as it turned in strong margins, healthy IIF growth, and resumed repurchases. The balance sheet remains robust and industry pricing is continuing to move in the company’s favor.
Analysts at RBC Capital reiterated their expectation for premium growth in H2/23. While near-term the analysts expect performance to be bumpy as macro conditions remain volatile, they see the current valuation as an attractive entry point and remain Outperform.

Sprott Reports Strong Q1 Revenue Performance

0


Sprott (NYSE:SII) reported its Q1/23 earnings results on Friday, demonstrating strong net sales performance. The company incurred positive net sales for 15 consecutive quarters which is attributed in part to benefiting from strategies that are selling well plus broadening its suite of products over the years.
Q1 Base Business EBITDA was $17.3 million, and ending AUM was $25.4 billion. Revenues came in at $985 million.
While the company is executing well on its growth strategy, analysts at RBC Capital see the shares as fairly valued and reiterate their Sector Perform rating.

AIG Shares Jump on Q1 Beat & Dividend Hike

0


AIG (NYSE:AIG) shares jumped more than 7% on Friday after the company posted its Q1 earnings results, with EPS of $1.63 coming in above the Street estimate of $1.43. The company also increased its quarterly dividend by 12.5% to $0.36 per share or $1.44 annualized.
According to RBC Capital, the company continues to produce further core margin improvement due to past underwriting actions. Commercial line rate increases for the company are outpacing loss cost inflation.
The analysts see a path to an additional core margin improvement with new expense saves on the way. Their 2024 EPS estimate moved to $7.50 from $7.25.

Seton Hall earns commitment from 4-star G Isaiah Coleman


Shooting guard Isaiah Coleman, one of the few remaining consensus four-star recruits in the Class of 2023, committed to Seton Hall on Monday, he told multiple outlets.

Coleman was the No. 110 overall recruit in the class and the No. 16 shooting guard, per the 247Sports composite rankings.

The native of Fort Washington, Md., is listed at 6-foot-5 and 180 pounds. He was previously committed to Charleston before reopening his recruitment.

Coleman told 247Sports that Seton Hall coach Shaheen Holloway was “straight up with me,” which helped him make his decision.

The Pirates are in roster rebuilding mode entering the second season of Holloway’s tenure as coach. He had as many as seven open scholarships recently but added three transfers: guard Dylan Addae-Wusu from St. John’s, and bigs Elijah Hutchins-Everett from Austin Peay and Jaden Bediako from Santa Clara.

Coleman joins three-star forward David Tubek in Seton Hall’s incoming high school class.

West Virginia’s Bob Huggins calls Xavier fans gay slur, apologizes


West Virginia coach Bob Huggins used a slur when describing fans of an old rival during a sports radio show appearance on Monday afternoon.

Huggins soon released an apology, saying he had “no excuse” for his comments, and West Virginia said it will review and address the matter.

Huggins coached at Cincinnati from 1989-2005, and each year the Bearcats play the Crosstown Shootout, an annual rivalry game with Xavier University, a Catholic school.

Appearing on WLW in Cincinnati Monday, host Bill Cunningham asked Huggins if he had poached any Xavier players from the transfer portal, to which he replied, “Catholics don’t do that.” Huggins then referred to an incident in which some Xavier fans purportedly threw “rubber penises” onto the court.

“Any school that can throw rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn’t do it, by God they can get away with anything.”

Cunningham responded with an off-color joke that the incident occurred on “transgender night,” leading Huggins to respond, “It was the Crosstown Shootout, yeah. No, what it was was all those f–s, those Catholic f–s. They were envious they didn’t have one.”

Cunningham laughed and called Huggins “the best ever,” but West Virginia was less than pleased.

“Coach Huggins’ remarks today on a Cincinnati radio show were insensitive, offensive and do not represent our University values,” the university said in a statement. “Coach Huggins has since apologized. West Virginia University does not condone the use of such language and takes such actions very seriously. The situation is under review and will be addressed by the University and its athletics department.”

The Mountaineers’ men’s basketball Twitter account also published a lengthy apology from Huggins.

“Earlier today on a Cincinnati radio program, I was asked about the rivalry between my former employer, the University of Cincinnati, and its crosstown rival, Xavier University. During the conversation, I used a completely insensitive and abhorrent phrase that there is simply no excuse for — and I won’t try to make one here. I deeply apologize to the individuals I have offended, as well as to the Xavier University community, the University of Cincinnati and West Virginia University.

“As I have shared with my players over my 40 years of coaching, there are consequences for our words and actions, and I will fully accept any coming my way. I am ashamed and embarrassed and heartbroken for those I have hurt. I must do better, and I will.”

Huggins, 69, has coached West Virginia since 2007. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022 and is one of only six men’s coaches to reach 900 career wins.

Texas Tech sharpshooter Jaylon Tyson transfers to Cal


Jaylon Tyson, a guard coming off a standout season at Texas Tech, announced Monday he is transferring to Cal.

Tyson started all 31 games for the Red Raiders in 2022-23 and averaged 10.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

He was an offensive threat thanks to efficient shooting percentages: 48.3 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from the 3-point arc.

Tyson began his career at Texas and played eight games there in 2021-22 before transferring to Lubbock. As a two-time transfer, Tyson will require a waiver from the NCAA to play right away.

Tyson is the fifth player to commit to the Golden Bears since new coach Mark Madsen took over the program. He follows former Texas Tech teammate Fardaws Aimaq, along with Keonte Kennedy from Memphis, Jalen Cone from Northern Arizona and Mike Meadows from Portland.

Cal went an abysmal 3-29 last season and fired coach Mark Fox, hiring Madsen to replace him. Madsen held the same position at Utah Valley, having led that program to a 28-9 record and a run to the NIT semifinals in 2022-23.

A 6-foot-11 center, Aimaq won Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year honors in 2021-22 while playing for Madsen at Utah Valley.

Lonnie Walker IV’s late heroics lift Lakers over Warriors


LeBron James finished with 27 points and Lonnie Walker IV scored all 15 of his points in the fourth quarter as the Los Angeles Lakers built a commanding lead in the Western Conference semifinals with a 104-101 victory over the visiting Golden State Warriors on Monday.

Anthony Davis scored 23 points and grabbed 15 rebounds and Austin Reaves added 21 points as Los Angeles took a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game 5 will be played in San Francisco on Wednesday.

The Lakers improved to 5-0 at home in the playoffs.

Los Angeles trailed by as many as 12 points in the third quarter before rallying for the victory behind Walker, who shot 6 of 9 from the field in the final period. Walker had 21 total points in the first three games of the series.

Golden State’s Stephen Curry amassed 31 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds, but Klay Thompson was held to nine points on 3-of-11 shooting from the floor and 3-of-9 success from 3-point range.

Andrew Wiggins scored 17 points and surprise starter Gary Payton II added 15 for the Warriors, who did reel off three consecutive victories in the first round against the Sacramento Kings, but none of those contests was an elimination game.

Turnovers by Draymond Green and Curry in the final 10 seconds doomed Golden State’s chances. Walker made two free throws with 15 seconds remaining for the game’s final points.

The Warriors pushed in front 52-49 at halftime and looked to take control when they went on a 16-2 run in the third quarter to take a 73-61 lead. However, Los Angeles withstood the burst and trailed just 84-77 after three quarters.

A 9-0 run to start the fourth quarter gave the Lakers an 86-84 lead with 9:27 remaining after a layup from Walker, their first advantage since early in the second half.

Thompson drained a 3-pointer from the corner for a 99-96 lead with 3:01 remaining, but a 6-0 run by the Lakers on four James free throws and a Walker basket put the hosts up 102-99 with 1:19 left.

The Warriors continued to get limited minutes from Kevon Looney following an illness, while Payton headed to the locker room once in each half with an undisclosed ailment. Payton started for the Warriors for the first time this season.
