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.

On today's show, we catch up with Oklahoma Sooners WR Nic Anderson who is coming off of a breakout redshirt freshman season where he recorded 798 receiving yards and a freshman school record for touchdown catches with ten. We talk with Nic about how the Sooners spring practices went, and what he's seen from QB Jackson Arnold as he takes over as the next big QB in Norman.
Anderson also talks about the addition of WR Deion Burks to the offense, as well as the new pieces to the offensive line. And we touch on the defense which looks to be loaded once again with guys like Danny Stutsman and Billy Bowman returning, along with some big pieces on the defensive line. And we get Nic's thoughts on his head coach Brent Venables.
We also touch on the Sooners coming to the SEC, we ask Nic how excited folks in Norman are to join the best conference in the country, and getting to visit places they haven't visited in a while like Auburn, Ole Miss, Mizzou and LSU. And we ask Nic what he does in his spare time when he's not playing football.
