EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. --?Odell Beckham Jr. says UFC star Conor McGregor provided late inspiration for the New York Giants receivers history-making performance Monday night.Beckham attended UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden during the weekend where McGregor beat Eddie Alvarez in the main event. Beckham insists it helped Monday night when the Giants beat the Cincinnati Bengals?21-20 and he caught 10 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown.When Beckham hit 69 yards in the second quarter, he became the fastest to 3,500 receiving yards in NFL history. He did it in 36 games. San Diego Chargers legend Lance Alworth previously held the record, as he reached 3,500 yards in 37 games.I set the bar high for myself. I kind of had some late inspiration, Beckham said. I went to the UFC fight and I went there to watch McGregor and just a guy who is very strong in his beliefs and sure enough, he backs it up every time. Just sitting there watching him do his thing gave me more motivation.I had seen that I needed however many yards it was to break that record [for quickest to 3,500 yards], so really that stuff is kind of secondary right now. We are 6-3; I havent been 6-3 since I have been here, so this is a good feeling.Beckham had 10 catches on 11 targets Monday night. It was a season high in catches, and the 90.9 reception percentage tied a career best.I usually go to things like that for inspiration. I like seeing guys in their atmosphere, said Beckham, who was seen at several Cleveland Cavaliers playoff games watching LeBron James earlier this year. Even when I was going to the US Open and I was watching them play tennis, it is just something about seeing someone else in their own zone and sure enough, after he won the fight, that was my first UFC fight ever and everybody is tweeting at me asking me why am I mad that he won. I am like, I came here to see him. My mind is just wired differently.So when I am sitting there watching him and I had this blank stare on my face because there are just so many thoughts going through my head, so I definitely got a lot of inspiration going there and watching him win, double champ and sure enough we came out and we won [Monday], so it has been a pretty good week.Beckham even got to meet McGregor on Saturday. He posted a picture on Instagram of the stars meeting.It was cool. It was a fun experience, Beckham said. It was the first time I had been there and everyone took care of me.Two nights later, Beckham took care of his own business. He helped the Giants win their fourth straight game.Beckham started this season slowly. He didnt score a touchdown until the final minutes of a Week 5 loss in Green Bay. Hes scored five touchdowns in the four games since.After setting all sorts of receiving records in his first two professional seasons, Beckham is on track for another monster season. Hes 10th in catches (54), seventh in yards (773) and tied for fourth in touchdowns (6).

From showcases and tournaments in Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Indiana, Washington, D.C., Georgia and South Carolina, the nations elite recruits were on the move in July. Here are six players who dazzled along the recruiting trail.Peyton Carter: This 5-foot-6 point guard from Monarch (Louisville, Colorado) may have been the biggest stock-riser of them all during the busy July evaluation period. She proved to be a cerebral leader on the floor throughout the month. She was consistent, executing plays in the half-court game and delivering a scoring punch both off the dribble and from beyond the arc. The 2017 prospect led her Boulder Rockies team to impressive wins at both USJN Nationals in Washington, D.C., and in Augusta, Georgia, at Blue Star Nationals. Most importantly, Carter was a superb game manager.Taya Corosdale: A stretch-4 with range to the 3-point line, the 6-2 Corosdale outperformed her competition, bringing a consistent offensive and defensive presence to the court. Corosdale, a senior-to-be at Bothell (Washington) was effective on the offensive glass, scoring on misfires from her teammates while also being a versatile defender. An integral part of the success for her team, Seattle based Tree of Hope made a run to the semifinals of the Gold Bracket at Nike Nationals.Khayla Pointer: Already committed to LSU, where she will play for her aunt, Nikki Fargas (formerly Nikki Caldwell), the 5-6 point guard was perhaps the main reason why her Team Elite-Pointer, coached by her father, Kirk, won the Gold Division at Nike Nationals. The high-riser in the 2017 class displayed a calm demeanor, read the defenses, broke pressure and distributed to her teammates. Additionally, Pointer, of Holy Innocents (Atlanta), scored both in up-tempo and off the bounce. Pointer positioned herself as one of the best ellite floor-leaders in July.ddddddddddddAlissa Pili: If you are looking for a no-nonsense power player who simply gets the job done, may we suggest a trip to Alaska? We hear its nice this time of year. Pili, a sophomore-to-be at Dimond (Anchorage) who played for Alaska Lady Hoops at the End of the Oregon Trail in early July, is versatile in addition to reliable. The mobile 6-foot power forward can defend numerous positions. On offense, she brings superb footwork to the paint and consistently delivers in traffic.Ashley Joens: Looking for points? This 5-10 shooting guard from Iowa City (Iowa) brings solid fundamentals and a deadly offensive arsenal. The junior-to-be can take her defender off the dribble, finish the play in traffic or deliver from deep. Either way, Joens is a superb backcourt prospect, helping her All-Iowa Attack team to a quarterfinal appearance in the Gold Division at Nike Nationals.Megan Walker: The rest of this list focuses on players who are on the move. This entry is about one who is staying put. The nations No. 1 prospect, fresh off a gold medal with Team USA at the FIBA Americas U18 Championship in Valdivia, Chile, cemented her status at Nike Nationals, helping lead her Boo Williams Team to a final-four finish in the Gold Division. Walker, a 6-1 shooting guard at Monacan (North Chesterfield, Virginia), was simply spectacular in transition as well as off the dribble. Averaging 15 points and 5 rebounds per game during the grueling Nike event, Walker delivers with consistency like no other prospect in the class of 2017.
