Welcome to Near Miss Day!
March 23 is Near Miss Day, an annual reminder of the day in 1989 when an asteroid nearly collided with the Earth. The 300-meter wide asteroid called 4581 Asclepius flew past the Earth by a distance of about 450,000 miles (684,000 kms) and almost missed striking it by 6 hours.

Lake Zurich's Sanborn commits to Wisconsin (dailyherald.com)
Lake Zurich junior all-state linebacker Jack Sanborn announced on Twitter Wednesday night that he has verbally committed to the University of Wisconsin.
Sanborn tweeted the following:
"First off, I want to thank God for shaping me into the man and player I am today and giving me all of these tremendous opportunities. I am so thankful for everything that has happened to me and I want to say thank you to my whole family, especially my mom, Coach Proffitt, each and every one of my coaches who have helped me get to where I am, my teammates, and the great town of LZ as the constant support I have from everyone means so much to my family and I. Lastly, I want to thank every school that has given me an opportunity to play for them, but after discussing it with my family and coaches I have decided to commit to the University of Wisconsin. #onwisconsin"

Top Returning ACC Cornerbacks For 2017 (Campusinsiders.com; Cirminello)
In a deep crop of returning ACC cornerbacks for 2017, who’ll climb to the top of the talented defenders.
It could be a challenging 2017 for ACC quarterbacks, who no longer have Deshaun Watson, Mitch Trubisky, Nate Peterman, Brad Kaaya and Jerod Evans to count on. Plus, the league will be home to a handful of very good corners, from Tarvarus McFadden in Tallahassee and Jaire Alexander in Louisville to a host of potential lockdown types in Blacksburg. McFadden versus Alexander ought to be especially interesting, since the juniors’ trajectory could impact both the upcoming season in the ACC as well as the opening round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Top Returning ACC Cornerbacks
5. Brandon Facyson, Virginia Tech
When Facyson announced he’d be returning for his senior year, it solidified that the Hokies would have the deepest cornerback corps in the ACC in 2017. Facyson, Greg Stroman and Adonis Alexander are all talented, experienced and long. The 6-foot-2, 197-pound Facyson has started 36 career games, despite being saddled with knee and leg problems. He played all 14 games a year ago, leading Tech with 11 pass breakups, but he hasn’t intercepted a pass since picking off five as a rookie in 2013.
4. M.J. Stewart, North Carolina
Stewart is back for one final season to anchor the back end of the Carolina defense. He’s a versatile and active playmaker for the Heels, earning All-ACC recognition in each of the last two years. At 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, Stewart is also thicker and more physical than most corners, allowing him to defend the run and outmuscle receivers on 50/50 balls. His production dipped in 2016, though he still produced 66 stops, 3.5 tackles for loss and team-highs with 11 pass breakups, three fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles.
