On today's show, the Transfer Portal is officially open again in college football. What does it mean for your school? We're hitting on some of the latest SEC names to already enter the transfer portal including the Tennessee Vols' leading tackler from last season in linebacker Elijah Herring, who feels like he won't be a starter with Keenan Pili back for the Vols.Also, Arkansas QB Jacolby Criswell is hitting the portal after it looks like the Hogs will roll with Taylen Green as a starter. Texas A&M linebacker Alex Howard is back in the portal after coming in this offseason from Youngstown State. Georgia running back Andrew Paul is in the portal as the Bulldogs appear to have nice depth ahead of him led by Trevor Etienne. Vanderbilt is losing wide receiver Josh Palmer and linebacker Dante Kelly who are hitting the portal. And Texas is losing edge Billy Walton and linebacker S'Maje Burrell as well as offensive lineman Payton Kirkland.Lastly, we touch on what positions some SEC teams may be eyeing in this cycle of the transfer portal. And Arkansas decides to move their season opener vs Arkansas Pine-Bluff up to a Thursday kickoff. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

We preview every major storyline in regards to the Longhorns on the offensive side of the ball. With fall camp vastly approaching, questions remain about who will be that 4th receiver target. Will it be the Alabama transfer in Agiye Hall or someone else who emerges? Will the tight end position be a strength of the team? The biggest worry on the offensive side of the ball for the Longhorns will be the offensive line. No spot on the O-line is safe for the Longhorns in 2022, so who will step up for the Longhorns?

Questions I asked John Garcia: 1) On Wednesday July 20th, a crystal ball was put in for Payton Kirkland to Texas. This obviously surprised Texas fans as Texas did not make his top schools. Payton Kirkland responded to that crystal ball with three tweets: 1. Fake news *100* emoji 2. Haven't taken a visit or anything 3. Now why would I go to TEXASS 72 hours later he committed to Texas. Have you ever seen anything like this and what is Texas getting in Kirkland? Is him not visiting Texas before committing something or nothing? 2. The key word we've heard in this recruiting cycle at Texas is "relationships". Two Texas commits, Johntay Cook & Malik Muhammad, have great relationships with Javien Toviano. Everyday I convince myself more and more that Toviano won't be able to say no to Arch, Johntay & Malik. What would a corner tandom of Malik & Toviano look like at Texas? 3. Maybe a more realistic corner target is Jordan Matthews out of Baton Rouge. What does he bring to the table? 4. When I watch Cedric Baxter I see a no-nonsense, one cut downhill runner that doesn't shy away from contact. Who is your player comp for Baxter? 5. TJ Shanahan, interior offensive lineman, from Westlake has Texas in his top 5. He seems to be an A&M lean, but would it make sense for Kyle Flood to add another offensive lineman, given the 12 commitments in the last two classes? 6. This class will forever be thought of as the Arch Manning class, but outside of Archibald, which Texas commit is most likely to emerge as the best player from this recruiting class?

Michigan State football recruiting took another hit over the weekend as offensive tackle Payton Kirkland picks Texas. With offensive tackle targets getting taken off the board, where do things stand with that position for the 2023 class? And are fans in the right to feel a tad underwhelmed with how July has gone on the recruiting trail? We then also take a gander at Pat Narduzzi's comments about the outcome of the Peach Bowl and how Pitt would win the Big Ten every year. We end with mailbag questions on if recruiting reporters' predictions are ruining the fun and if we'll see four quarterbacks against Akron or not. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Miami Hurricanes did not land any verbal commits this past weekend despite being in the mix for 4-star safety Joenel Aguero, 4-star OT Payton Kirkland and 4-star linebacker Malik Bryant. Bryant postponed his announcement, so the Hurricanes still have a shot there. Aguero committed to Georgia and Kirkland committed to Texas. Host Alex Donno discusses where Miami stands with Bryant and when he might be ready to announce. The Florida Gators have been gaining steam in his recruitment. Donno describes what he knows about a VERY interesting saga for Payton Kirkland, who chose a school that wasn't even considered a finalist for him. With Kirkland out of the picture, expect Miami to ramp up their interest in 6-7 offensive tackle Monroe Freeling. The Canes are still favored for 5-star OT Samson Okunlola and 3-star IOL Tommy Kinsler. Miami has the 11th ranked class in the nation (247 composite) and could rise back into the top 10 if Kinsler commits to Miami next weekend. The Hurricanes are still in fine shape, so there is no reason for anyone to panic or spread negativity.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn jobs helps you find the candidates you want to talk to, faster.

At the ACC Kickoff, Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal said he is expecting a “big second wave” coming in recruiting. Although Miami target Olaus Alinen picked Alabama on Friday morning, Hurricanes targets Payton Kirkland (4-star OT), Malik Bryant (4-star LB) and Joenel Aguero (4-star S) are all set to make their announcements on Saturday. Host Alex Donno discusses the feedback he is hearing on Kirkland, Bryant and Aguero heading into their announcements and thinks that “second wave” could begin on Saturday. The feedback for Bryant has been VERY encouraging for Miami, while it's a lot more mixed on Kirkland and Aguero. Miami also awaits a decision from 4-star safety Jayden Bonsu. Bonsu pushed back his announcement but has been trending heavily for the Canes. So has 5-star offensive tackle Samson Okunlola, who has no announcement scheduled as of yet. Donno also explains why the Hurricanes have made an offer to a 14 year old defensive tackle.

The Miami Hurricanes are being strongly linked to a commitment from 5-star offensive tackle Samson Okunlola. The crystal balls are coming in for Miami, including one from 247 lead analyst Steve Wiltfong, who rarely gets his predictions wrong. Okunlola is the 3rd ranked OT for the class of 2023 and the 20th ranked overall recruit. Miami received a commitment less than two weeks ago from top ranked OT Francis Mauigoa.  Guest Brad Tejeda from Canes Insight joins host Alex Donno to break down Okunlola's recruitment and predict how many offensive linemen the Hurricanes might sign in the 2023 class. The Canes are also being strongly linked to 4-star OT Olaus Alinen, 4-star Payton Kirkland and 3-star Tommy Kinsler. Could this wind up being Miami's greatest offensive line class of all time? Brad and Alex discuss several other recruiting targets, including 4-star safety Jayden Bonsu, who will be announcing his commitment on July 20th. The guys also talk about 4-star linebackers Malik Bryant and Stanquan Clark, 5-star DE Samuel M'Pemba and 4-star WR's Hykeem Williams and Andy Jean. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

With the hysteria of conference realignment heating up around college football, the Miami Hurricanes will need to figure out if sticking things out in the ACC is the right thing to do. If not, how aggressive should they be in trying to join the SEC or Big 10? What will the Notre Dame Fighting Irish ultimately decide to do. Will they remain independent or will they ultimately join the Big 10 or become a full member of the ACC? If Miami were to stay in the ACC rather than join a super-conference, would it hurt their ability to recruit the top football and basketball talent? Guest Larry Blustein from 560 WQAM in Miami joins host Alex Donno to break down what Miami should do and whether the ACC will survive in the ever-changing landscape. Blu and Donno break down multiple Canes Football recruiting targets including Jayden Wayne, Jalen Brown, Jaden Bonsu, Payton Kirkland, Olaus Alinen and Samuel M'Pemba. These 4 and 5-star high school talents will be announcing their commitments soon and Miami is in the mix for every last one of them. Blu talks about the importance of watching players in actual games and not just deferring to highlight reels, star rankings and camps. Nobody covers more games nationally than Larry Blustein!

Several years of subpar performances sandwiched around a Jeff Halfey-led radar blip meant change was in order. Now it's about getting current personnel up to speed and finding prospects that best fit the Knowles approach. Translation: Ohio State needs several defensive tackles and safeties - the latter of which has an added emphasis in the scheme.  So how is this for synergy? Our Bill Kurelic has identified four safeties and three defensive tackles the Buckeyes are chasing and Duane Long is here to let you know what he thinks of each prospect. (Kurelic has also identified cornerbacks and receivers Ohio State is chasing which we will tackle next Tuesday). We also discuss Payton Kirkland setting up his third Ohio State visit and break down what the Florida offensive lineman brings to the gridiron.  Want the latest scoops and news on the Buckeyes?
