The five-star hybrid tight end/wide receiver signed with USC after a torrid recruitment last week.

LOS ANGELES . Doc Robinson has finally become a Trojan horse. The five-star tight end/wide receiver hybrid signed with USC last week after an "uphill" recruiting season, according to USC coach Zach Henson.

Robinson, the 17th recruit in the Class of 2023, chose USC over second-ranked Georgia, Alabama, Oregon and Texas. Robinson's hiring process began overtime after National Sports Day in December because, in addition to choosing a school, he had to choose a sport.

Robinson is both a baseball prospect and a football star, so the USC staff had to not only recruit him to the school, but commit to playing college football for the next three years instead of playing. professional baseball.

— Lincoln Riley. Deuce Robinson will play football at USC regardless of MLB selection.

"It's definitely a long road and we all knew it was coming," Hanson said. “Deuce has been very open and honest with us from the beginning … We just stayed true to who we are and knew we had to put this plan together for him and show him that so far so good. we want to do and how he did it, eventually we get it. All in all, it was a fun process and I'm glad he chose us."

Robinson will get a chance to start this fall at USC. 247Sports.com called Robinson "limited potential" in their report.

"We've improved a lot as a team," Hanson said. "He's a great guy too, that's the main thing."

TWO ROBINSON SPORTS ROADS

According to USC head coach Lincoln Riley, Robinson plans to play football at USC even if he signs with MLB as a high draft pick this summer. Robinson is expected to play baseball for the Trojans in the spring. He will follow a plan similar to the one Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray did when he played for the Oklahoma Rileys.

Before becoming Oklahoma State's starting quarterback in the fall of 2018, Murray signed a contract with the Oakland Athletics with nearly $5 million in guaranteed cash, allowing him to play one more year of football at Oklahoma. Murray, of course, had a fantastic season and chose the NFL over the MLB.

A similar deal could be done this summer with Robinson and an MLB team.

"Two facts are known at this point," Riley said. "First, Deuce is going to play football at the University of Southern California, and second, baseball is in his future … which is very exciting."

Former First Lady Michelle Obama Her work was elevated to pop culture when they chose Sherald to paint her official portrait in 2017. Sherald is the first black woman to be nominated for this honor.

In the year In 2020, Sherald's photograph of Breanna Taylor, a 26-year-old black woman who was shot and killed by police in Louisville, Kentucky, appeared on the September cover of Vanity Fair.

In the year Writing for Forbes in 2021, Chad Scott wrote: “Brena Taylor's portrait of Amy Sherald may be the most important portrait ^{of the 21st century} . She succeeds in summarizing the crazy world of her kind in one picture.

In the year In 2016, the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery awarded Sherold first prize in the Outwin Bouchevar Portrait Competition for her oil on canvas Miss Everything (unrigged exhibit). She is the first woman and the first African American to win the competition, which was founded in 2006.

The North Carolina Museum of Art wrote that the work features a young, gray-skinned woman wearing white gloves and holding a large cup and saucer "standing front and center against a strange natural blue and red background." Exhibition 2018. Year. .

The story continues

Sherald told the museum that Alice in Wonderland was the inspiration for the painting.

At the museum, "That's where my cup of tea comes in: bending space and time and thinking about yourself and how the world sees you." The painting "creates an alternative narrative of existence in response to the dominant narrative of black history".

Describing her work, Smithsonian Magazine wrote: "Sherald creates creatively dynamic portraits of African-American subjects that explore the emotional impact of stereotypes of color and shape." Her stories are often set with a sense of wonder and wonder. Sarcasm."

The dream forms the backdrop for what the artist calls "the unchanging personal space of my existence within the context of black identity and my search for ways to express and ground myself." Using light grays, Sherald "drops" skin tones so that her subjects appear realistic and universal.

"The picture is of a young black man looking at me in this work," he told Artnet. "I still feel the same way, and it's still a big part of my inspiration as a figurative artist. This is a reminder that there should be more pictures in the world that can give other children and people the experience I saw first. This picture in a museum."

Below is a LE Q&A via email with Sherald, who lives in the New York area.

Q: How do you feel about participating in the arts in the 21st century?

A: Art21 is what you pick up when you call. As a young artist, I spent a lot of time developing my voice and discovering the world by watching Art21. It was an organic and natural experience working with them, and it was fun to see my artwork unfold on screen.

Q: What can viewers expect from your series?

Answer: Our world is made up of still and moving images. Art makes everything possible! During the shooting of the film, many images came to life. I hope it will give viewers, especially young artists, the opportunity to witness this experience and be inspired to create for themselves.

Q: How has the publication of Michelle Obama's portrait changed your life and art?

A: It didn't change my art, but it helped me create a bigger platform and context for my work. I love that it's used to teach kids about art history and themselves.

Q: How has growing up in Columbus influenced your life and art?

Answer: In this episode I was able to reflect on my journey back to my childhood home in Columbus. I spent afternoons in our family room with photo albums and photos that contributed to a deeper understanding of who I am and who I am meant to be in my story, wherever the world takes me.

There is a special moment in that chapter where I see a black and white photograph of my grandmother Jewel with my mother, which still inspires me in what I do. The visual legacy I create through my paintings always reminds me that photography has been with me from the beginning and informs everything I do.

A conversation between an artist and an artist. Elegies: The Art of Christmas Life

Paul McCartney has collaborated with many great musicians, including Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Dave Grohl, Rihanna and Elvis Costello. However, there were still many artists the ex-Beatle wanted to work with, including Radiohead's Tom Yorke. The duo collaborated on a Paul McCartney song, but unfortunately it didn't work out.

Paul McCartney happily asked York about the collaboration

It's hard to imagine McCartney bothering to ask another artist, given his legendary status. Most musicians wouldn't jump at the chance to work with an ex-Beatle. However, the "Yesterday" singer worried when Yorke asked him if he wanted to work with him for fear of rejection. She really wanted to work with the Radiohead singer, but she didn't want to be rejected.

McCartney told NME in 2012 (via The Guardian ) that "[my son] would say to me, 'Call Tom and go to the studio and see what you've got.'" Hi Tom, I'm Paul. what do you want to do Do you want to write something? If so, say, “Ah, actually, I'm busy.

York fell 'Mr. Bellamy

Fears of Paul McCartney's rejection surfaced when Yorke asked if he wanted to appear on Mr. Bellamy" from the 2007 film Memory to Fill Her. In a 2007 interview with The Observer, Yorke asked McCartney to play piano on the song. However, McCartney had to decline because he could not play the instrument as well as Mako wanted. .

"Oh, because I can't play the piano," he explained. "It wasn't. I was going to point out that I heard a song—'Mr. Bellamy'—and I really liked that song, but playing the piano requires two hands to do things independently. I don't have that ability. I said, 'I'm playing the plan, that's it.'

McCartney shared a side of the story that was different from York. According to an interview with T4, McCartney said Yorke turned down the offer because he was comfortable doing only his own music. This seems unlikely, as Yorke has worked with other artists, including Björk, Flying Lotus and PJ Harvey.

York was not the only artist who rejected McCartney

Yorke isn't the only artist who turned down the chance to work with the "Let It Be" singer. During his time with the Beatles, Paul McCartney wrote the song "Suicide" for Frank Sinatra. In an interview with McCartney's archive collection, Sinatra disapproved of the song and regretted not making some changes before sending it to McCartney.

"That was my first real song and I did it as a joke. I actually got a song request from Sinatra once," McCartney said. "And I got on the phone with him and I said, 'Great, Paul, drop it. And I texted him and I thought, 'Is this guy kidding?' You see, Sinatra sent me a song called "Suicide." He didn't get it! But, Lord, I thought maybe I should. Edit it a little to send it.

The last thing I expect in 2023 is for Helen Mirren to become a fashion influence. Don't get me wrong, the actress has always been stylish, often adding fun twists to her classic outfits, but between appearances at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival and clicking for Shazam. The Wrath of the Gods star is one to watch, especially when it comes to shoes.

When Mirren paired a fuchsia dress and striped sweatpants with white sneakers, we (and our readers) were instantly hooked. She was an inspiration to everyone with her style that easily transitioned into business casual. And just this week, Mirren further confirmed the shoe's influence by dressing it up in a pair of black bow heels, one of this year's small but mighty trends.

From the runway to the red carpet, we've seen the detail incorporated into several looks, adding an instant touch of femininity to any outfit. While hair bows can be an obvious way to incorporate fashion into your look, I prefer Miron's more subtle approach. To try out the star trend, I found 10 similar styles, including heels, flats and sandals, at shopper-favorite retailers including Amazon, Nordstrom, Anthrpologie and more, starting at $27.

The story continues

Emiwey's pointed toe flats are a more practical alternative to the bow shoes worn by Mirren. Like the acting pair, they have a satin gloss finish and the arc is set slightly to one side rather than straight through the centre. You can always go with the actress and wear them in black, but this style comes in darker colors, including emerald green and bright barbie pink. A customer who bought them for a wedding said they were "comfortable wearing the shoes all night with no problems".

For a more casual look, grab the bow pumps available at DSW. These shoes offer a little more height with a three-inch heel, but despite this slight increase, buyers report that it's still easy to wear. “They fit my feet like a glove… [and] the heel height was very comfortable,” wrote one customer who explained being able to put them on without pain. One said they were "beautiful, elegant and very comfortable".

No Shop : $60 (originally $90); www.dsw.com:

When it comes to comfort, there's no better brand than Vivaia, whose heels were voted "Comfortable Shoes" by our fashion editors. The brand's flagship, Rainbow, like the entire shoe, features a dual-layer foam footbed designed to provide cushioned comfort similar to that of a sneaker. What I love about this version is how fun it is, with a big tartan bow adding fun to the classic design. They are also for sale.

Buy Now : $79 (originally $97); www.vivaia.com:

And it would be remiss of me not to include the brand known for its bows, Kate Spade, in this review. In fact, I may or may not add all of her amazing Veronica apartments to my cart. I love the green pair because I love how bright and supple this shade is, but they also come in hot pink and classic navy. While these flats may be pricey on this list, shoppers say the shoe "fits like a dream" and is incredibly versatile, "looking chic with jeans, summer dresses, or cool pants."
