On today's show, we hit on the latest Transfer Portal news in the SEC as Alabama adds Michigan State OL Geno VanDeMark for some depth on the o-line, as well as Penn State defensive back King Mack as Kane Wommack's secondary will have a lot of new names back there. Vandy adds Notre Dame CB Micah Bell, while Mississippi State adds West Virginia CB Montre Miller, among several others. Can Florida add former five-star CB Cormani McClain?
Also we run through the latest 24/7 Sports Post-Spring SEC QB Rankings, as we dissect Brad Crawford's rankings for everyone including Carson Beck, Quinn Ewers, Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe & more. Did he rank them correctly from 16 down to 1? Are we giving too much credit to guys like Garrett Nussmeier and Nico Iamaleava? And maybe not enough credit to Graham Mertz and Payton Thorne?
Lastly, we touch on all 13 SEC softball teams making the postseason and who's hosting and who's going on the road.

On today's show, we discuss Hugh Freeze saying he "couldn't bring himself" to spend $1 million on a Transfer Portal QB, but is that the right approach? Are they better off spending on big time wide receivers to surround Payton Thorne, or should they have targeted a Cam Ward-type QB? We also tie this in LSU Coach Brian Kelly's comments earlier this week on "buying players", as well as Josh Heupel's comments on "bringing the right people inside the building." It's clear SEC coaches are being more selective when it comes to how much they're willing to spend on transfer portal players in this NIL-era.
Also, we go Around The Conference as Texas adds a d-lineman in former Louisville DL Jermayne Lole, beating out Oklahoma for his services. Alabama adds Wake Forest DB DaShawn Jones to the mix in their secondary, along with their other transfers like Keon Sabb, Kam Howard and Domani Jackson. And Hugh Freeze says he is a big "believer" still in QB Payton Thorne.
And who has the toughest Strength of Schedules in the SEC? Also, a few SEC hoops nuggets.

Shane Beamer announced this week that LaNorris Sellers will be their QB1 heading into fall camp. Not a big surprise, but he did opt not to name a starter all throughout spring practice. What took so long to say that Sellers is ahead of Robby Ashford? We catch up with Jordan Kaye of The State newspaper in Columbia, as he was there when Beamer spoke on Monday. We also talk with Jordan about how the Gamecocks did in the transfer portal, and who could be the next big WR to step up for them.
We also go Around the Conference as Mississippi State adds Illinois d-lineman Anthony Johnson, Arkansas adds USF WR Khafre Brown, BYU d-lineman Danny Saili, AND former MLB outfielder Monte Harrison as a walk-on. Auburn adds o-line depth in Akron's Ronan Chambers, while they lose out on a football commit. And Kentucky adds a QB in Gavin Wimsatt from Rutgers.
Also, Joel Klatt released his Post-Top 25 Spring Rankings, and he doesn't have an SEC team at #1. We run through which SEC teams he does have ranked in his Top 25, including the soon-to-be newest additions in Texas and Oklahoma.
