Syracuse coach Fran Brown will have you ready to COMMIT | Clemson sues ACC | Proctor leaves Iowa

We have a great interview with new Syracuse head coach Fran Brown, but first we’ve got to examine two HUGE news stories that broke Tuesday.

(0:00-2:12) Intro

(2:13-6:13) OL Kadyn Proctor is Heading BACK to Alabama after a brief stint at Iowa

(6:14-12:45) Clemson Sues the ACC Preview

(12:46-31:53) Syracuse Head Coach Fran Brown joins

(31:54-34:11) Syracuse 2024 Schedule

(34:12-48:09) Kentucky Basketball before March with Nick Roush

(48:10-1:05:13) Deep Dive into Clemson Suing the ACC with Pete Nakos

(1:05:14-1:08:46) Conclusion - Wednesday's First Four Picks

First, Clemson sued the ACC in a South Carolina court in an attempt to clarify whether the grant of rights all the ACC schools agreed to is legally binding. The Tigers joined Florida State, which sued the ACC in December in a Florida court. (The ACC filed a preemptive lawsuit against the Seminoles in North Carolina).

Next, offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor appears headed BACK to Alabama after transferring to Iowa earlier this offseason. Proctor started all 14 games for the Crimson Tide at left tackle as a true freshman in 2023, but he entered the transfer portal shortly after Nick Saban retired and headed back to his home state. He told Iowa coaches this week that he intended to re-enter the portal, and he told On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Tuesday night that he intends to re-enroll at Alabama.

Later, new Syracuse coach Brown joins the show to explain why he’ll chase the same five-star recruits at Syracuse that he chased as a Georgia assistant. He also explains why his relationships helped him reshape the Orange roster very quickly. After hearing Brown’s philosophy, you’re probably going to be very high on Syracuse next year.

Next, Nick Roush of Kentucky Sports Radio joins to preview Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats haven’t made the second weekend of the tourney since 2019, but John Calipari’s team is capable of going deep in the tourney this year. But it’s also inconsistent enough to duck out in one of the first two rounds, and that’s what makes this team such an adventure to watch.

After Nick, On3 national reporter Pete Nakos joins to break down Clemson’s lawsuit against the ACC. The Tigers’ suit has some similarities to the one filed by Florida State, but Clemson attacks from a few different angles as well. Does this mean the best brands leaving the ACC is inevitable? It does, but we’ve been telling you that for months.
