Notre Dame?has lost one of its top offensive weapons for the 2016 season.Sophomore tight end Alize Jones?will not play this season, though hell remain on the roster and can practice,?coach Brian Kelly announced Wednesday night.Jones tweeted earlier a message of apology, hinting at academic shortcomings and saying that he planned to remain with the Fighting Irish.Hailing from Las Vegas power Bishop Gorman, Jones was ESPNs No. 1 tight end recruit in 2015. As a true freshman last season, he played in all 13 games and started five for the Irish, catching 13 passes for 190 yards.Jones would have been Notre Dames second-leading returning pass-catcher in 2016, behind Torii Hunter Jr. At 6-foot-4?, 240 pounds, he figured to be split wide as a receiver much more this season after the summer retirement of receiver Corey Robinson (concussions).Outside of Hunter, Notre Dames available receivers and tight ends enter 2016 with a combined nine career catches for 52 yards and one touchdown.

Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level.

"I do expect things to turn around. I expect Donnie to be here for a long time," Kasten said Friday before the Dodgers lost 7-0 to NL Central-leading St. Louis in the series opener. "I understand there is another side of that if things dont go well. I dont think of things like that. I dont look at things that way. I choose to believe were going to be fine." Mattingly is in the third and final year of his contract, with no extension on the table. "This is not a guy who the players are trying to get rid of. These players are not coming to the front office and saying, Please get this guy out of here," Kasten said. "Its the opposite. This is a group of guys who love and respect Don. And I think this latest plea for a greater sense of urgency will be well received. I hope it is. It should be." For his part, Mattingly didnt appear worried about his future. "If your team doesnt play well, someone is going to go and it isnt going to be them," he said. "Its all about how we play. Thats the only thing I really stress over." The Dodgers are last in the NL West, seven games behind first-place Arizona. They have a 19-27 record, having lost five of their last seven, despite a $215 million payroll and a talent-laden lineup that has struggled offensively. "By far were not out of it," Andre Ethier said. "If we can work our way back into it by the All-Star break, it should be someplace we want to be." Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez have started to come around. Crawford is hitting .302 with five homers and 13 RBI, and Gonzalez is batting .319 with four homers and 29 RBI. But All-Star sluggers Matt Kemp and Ethier have not. They combined to go hitless in six at-bats Friday, with Kemp striking out twice. "Its really nott the way you envision coming back home and getting the home stand started," Mattingly said about the loss.dddddddddddd Kemp is hitting .266 with two home runs and 17 RBI, while Ethier is hitting .258, with four homers and 15 RBI. The team has been hit with a rash of injuries since the start of the season, especially among the starting rotation. "I expect the players who have been struggling to get back to their historical records of performance," Kasten said. "If that happens, I think were going to be just fine. We wont be as good as we can be until Matt returns to being the real Matt Kemp." Mattingly on Friday didnt back away from his critical comments earlier in the week that came after he benched Ethier for the third time in six games during the teams trip to Atlanta and Milwaukee. At the time, he said he was "putting out my lineup that I feel is going to be the most competitive and going to compete the hardest." "Really Im just speaking from my heart. It wasnt an attack on anybody," Mattingly said. "Its my belief about the way to play baseball. Youve got to be willing to fight for what you want." Earlier in the week, Ethier said he took offence to Mattinglys comments. The manager said he and Ethier talked for 20 minutes on Wednesday. "Andre knows exactly where Im coming from," he said. Ethier was back in the lineup on Friday, but Mattinglys "words about the competing part, that bothers me. Thats all people hear, they dont read about the other stuff," he said. Asked if thought he would be traded, Ethier said, "I have no idea. Its nothing Im assuming or looking into. I know what commitment level is here and its never wavered." Mattingly has long defended his players in the mould of his mentor and former Dodgers manager Joe Torre, so his sudden public outspokenness had triggerd rampant speculation that he was on his way out. "It hasnt been that bad, honestly," he said. "Its just a little stormy." ' ' '
