Cleveland, OH-Chevalier “Ice” Emery is the newest member of the Cleveland State men’s basketball team, head coach Rob Summers announced today. Emery, a 6’0″ guard from Appleton, Wisconsin, comes to Cleveland with one year of eligibility remaining.
 
“We’re thrilled to welcome Ice Emery to the Viking family,” Coach Summers stated. “Ice is a dynamic athlete with a competitive edge that fits perfectly with our culture here at Cleveland State. We’re excited to get to work with him and continue building something special.”
 
Emery has spent time at three different institutions prior to arriving at Cleveland State. He spent the 2024-25 season at Western Carolina. Emery appeared in all 30 games for the Catamounts making 14 starts and averaging 9.3 points per game. He scored in double figures 12 times including three games over the 20-point mark, with a season high of 24 against Truett-McConnell on November 13. Emery led the team with 29 steals and was second with 47 three-point field goals and 59 assists. Emery and fellow Cleveland State commit Kamari Jones were teammates at WCU this past season.
 
Prior to Western Carolina, Emery spent one season at Dodge City Community College in Kansas. Emery led the team in scoring at 17.4 points per game and scored in double figures 28 times including the last 19 games of the season. He shot 44 percent from the field and recorded a career best 30 points in a game at Trinidad State in November, 2023.
 
Before his time at Dodge City, Emery spent one season at Merrimack College in Massachusetts where he helped the program to the 2022-23 Northeast Conference championship. Emery played his high school basketball at Neenah High School in Wisconsin where he helped lead his team to a state championship as well as winning the Player of the Year award.
 
Upon joining the roster Emery added, “I committed to CSU because it felt like a brotherhood and the coaches believe in my skills. I also like the focus on development in the program. I believe what Coach Summers and the staff are building.”
 

The Cleveland Browns are in desperate need of help at wide receiver, and apparently, they tried to find an answer on the trade market.

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated has reported that the Browns made an offer to the New Orleans Saints for Chris Olave, but were rebuffed. The Pittsburgh Steelers also tried to get involved.

Breer added that Olave is “not on the block” and that he would “have a hard time thinking he’s going to get traded.”

Olave is coming off of a 2024 campaign in which he played just eight games due to a couple of concussions. During his time on the field, he logged 32 catches for 400 yards and a touchdown, but he posted back-to-back, 1,000-yard seasons to begin his NFL career in 2022 and 2023.

The Ohio State product would have represented a brilliant pickup for Cleveland. When healthy, he is one of the most gifted receivers in football and would have comprised a fantastic duo with Jerry Jeudy, especially with the Browns potentially preparing to turn the quarterback position over to Shedeur Sanders in the near future.

Breer does not elaborate on when Cleveland inquired about Olave, so it could have happened before the NFL Draft or possibly directly after.

The Browns inexplicably chose not to select a wide out in the draft and also were unable to land anyone outside of Diontae Johnson — who played for three different teams last season — in free agency. That leaves Cleveland with Jeudy and virtually nothing else in terms of proven, reliable talent at the position.

Perhaps Cedric Tillman can have a breakout year for the Browns in 2025.

Cleveland, OH-Head coach Rob Summers has announced the addition of Josiah Harris to the 2025-26 Cleveland State men’s basketball roster. Harris, a 6’7″ local product who hails from Canton, joins the team with two years of eligibility remaining.
 
“We’re excited to welcome Josiah Harris to the Viking family,” said Coach Summers. “Josiah brings toughness, versatility, and a team-first mindset that aligns perfectly with our culture. His ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor will elevate our program right away.”
 
Harris comes to Cleveland State after stops at two previous schools. He spent the 2024-25 season at Akron where he started all six games he appeared in before he was sidelined for the rest of the season due to injury. Harris averaged just over 23 minutes per game and totaled 52 points for an average of 8.7 points per game. Harris scored in double figures in Akron’s first two games of the season with a season-high 16 points at Saint Mary’s on November 12. He totaled 31 rebounds, 12 assists, five steals and four blocks over the six games he appeared in.
 
Prior to his time at Akron, Harris spent his first two collegiate seasons at West Virginia. Harris played in 49 total games with 13 starts. During the 2023-24 season, his sophomore year, he averaged five points and four rebounds per game and made 26 three-point field goal attempts. Harris shot 81 percent from the free throw line for the season and scored a WVU career-high 15 points at UCF on January 23. For his career at West Virginia, he shot 37 percent from the field and 32 percent from three-point range while pulling down just shy of 150 total rebounds.
 
Harris attended Richmond Heights High School on Cleveland’s east side. He averaged 17.9 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in helping lead Richmond Heights to a 17-5 overall record and a run to the state semifinals. He was named to the Northeast Lakes All-District Division IV First Team. Harris began his prep career at Canton GlenOak High School.

Harris is excited to join the Cleveland State roster as he stated, “I chose CSU because from the very first conversation, I felt truly seen – not just as a basketball player, but as a person. This isn’t just about hoops – it’s about faith, family, and becoming the best version of myself. This is a relationship I believe will surpass basketball – it’s one I see lasting a lifetime. I’m locked in, and I’d run through a brick wall for this coaching staff. I can’t wait to give everything I have to this program!”
