Dwyane Wade Injury: Updates on Heat Star's Foot and Return

It's been clear that Dwyane Wade has been dealing with ailing knees throughout this season, but now his foot is giving him problems.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported the Miami Heat star has a nerve issue that restricting the movement in his foot.

All season long, Erik Spoelstra has sporadically rested his shooting guard in an effort to ensure that he's 100 percent for the games that matter. Wade has played in 36 of the team's 51 regular season games this year, averaging 18.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists a game.

The only concern for the Heat is whether or not Wade will be healthy for the playoffs. There's almost no chance Miami isn't one of the top two seeds in the Eastern Conference, so there's no reason to risk him too much in the regular season.

The fact that he's suffering from a nerve issue is a bit worrying, but the team is at least in a position where it can wait for him to get back to full health.

Texas National Signing Day 2014: Instant Updates and Analysis

New coach, no problem.
Texas enters national signing day with less than ideal circumstances. Not only did Charlie Strong replace legendary head coach Mack Brown with little time to make his pitch to uncommitted recruits, but the Longhorns are coming off an 8-5 season in which they finished outside the Top 25 for the third time in four years.
No matter.
According to 247Sports' composite rankings, the Longhorns begin Wednesday's crucial day with the No. 15 class nationally and the top-ranked class in the Big 12.
With plenty of other targets remaining, Strong has an opportunity to make a major splash in his first season in Austin.
Let's take a look at the Longhorns' national signing day activity.

Top Commits
Derick Roberson, DE
The San Antonio native, who had offers from schools such as Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M, committed to Texas back in August—of 2012.
“I’ve always wanted to go to UT,” Roberson said, via ESPN.com's William Wilkerson. “They have always been my top option. I just like Texas. I have been looking at Texas ever since I was a little kid.”
And it doesn't sound like the hiring of Strong swayed that opinion at all, courtesy of The Orange Report's Big Mike:

2014 DE commit Derrick Roberson on Strong. "Texas is going to be raw next year" Sounds 100% committed to me.

National Signing Day 2014: Live Updates, Commitment Reaction and Analysis

National Signing Day 2014, the silliest, weirdest, most absurd and awesome day on the college football calendar, is finally upon us.

Every football fan's guilty pleasure, the day will take us across the country, from east coast to west coast to everything in between, for live look-ins at high school prospects as they commit and sign to their future schools.

Whether it's a 5-star, 4-star or 3-star recruit—heck, even if it's something lower—every commitment matters. For this one happy day, before practice and workouts weed the strong out from the weak, everyone could be the next superstar, the next program-changing quarterback, the next All-American linebacker.

According to the 247Sports composite, nine 5-star players will enter the day uncommitted, but all of them will likely leave having pledged themselves to a school. In both spectacle and substance, no day on the recruiting calendar comes close to comparing with this. So much still hangs in the balance.

Stick with B/R throughout the day for updates and highlights of the madness.
