Florida circuit court judge George Wright granted Denzel Aberdeen an injunction this week providing him a fifth year of college eligibility after he waited five months to be cleared to play. Aberdeen re-enrolled at Florida after playing last season at Kentucky and had worked out and practiced with the Gators while awaiting the decision.
Aberdeen started 35 games for Kentucky last season, averaging 13.5 points, 3.4 assists and 2.5 rebounds, after averaging 7.7 points as a Florida junior. His return joins a Florida core that includes returning seniors Thomas Haugh, Alex Condon and Rueben Chinyelu, while the defending national champions are viewed as a possible preseason No. 1 after losing to Iowa in the NCAA tournament's second round.

Abdul-Malik Olajuwon, a top-60 recruit and son of Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon, has committed to SMU. The 6-foot-5 guard from IMG Academy said SMU coach Andy Enfield sees him making an impact as a freshman at point guard and on defense. Olajuwon said the official visit, his relationship with Enfield and the program’s system helped seal his decision.
Olajuwon is ranked No. 57 in the SC Next 100 for the 2027 class and was a key contributor for JL3 on the Nike EYBL circuit, averaging 12.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists over 20 games. He shot 40.7% from 3 during the final EYBL session in Las Vegas. SMU’s 2027 class currently consists of Olajuwon, its first commitment.

Several ranked teams are showing vulnerabilities entering October, with Indiana managing injuries and limited explosive plays, Ole Miss struggling badly against the run, Texas Tech starting slowly, USC continuing its defensive problems, and Tennessee trying to protect a freshman quarterback. Indiana has lost ballcarriers Khobie Martin and Turbo Richard, while Lee Beebe Jr. has 398 rushing yards; the Hoosiers are also 52nd nationally in explosive-play rate. Ole Miss is allowing 194.7 rushing yards per game, including 302 in its loss at Florida.
The report identifies different levels of concern across the group. USC is 5-15 against top-25 teams under Lincoln Riley, while Texas Tech faces Colorado before an open date and then Arizona State on Oct. 17. For Tennessee, DeSean Bishop averaged 3.1 yards per carry against Texas, and the offensive line will face Auburn and Arkansas before a potential Oct. 17 matchup with No. 7 Alabama.
