Pulitizer Prize Winner To Speak Oct. 22

TORONTO – Sometimes it takes a breakout performance to open a window into an unknown aspect of a player. Sometimes all it takes is a haircut. On that latter count, Tyler Herro arguably stands as Exhibit A. Having played most of his Heat career with a considerable tuft of hair as his preferred look, it turns out the sixth-year Miami Heat guard was hiding a window into his past. Now it is noticeable, that scar on the left side of his buzzcut that has left an empty line above his ear. And, no, not a style point, not something cut into his coif by the style-conscious scorer. “I cracked my head open when I was little,” Herro revealed. So during a fight with his brothers?

Malzahn and Norvell were assistants on the same staff under Todd Graham at Tulsa in 2007.

As the dust settles on coach Gus Malzahn’s departure from UCF, the football program finds itself at a crossroads. The Knights will begin a coaching search for Malzahn’s replacement in earnest, particularly with a busy December schedule that features the early National Signing Day on Wednesday and the opening of the transfer portal window on Dec.
