Andy & Ari On3

Kentucky defensive lineman Deone Walker is one of the most intriguing players in college football. He stands 6-foot-8, weighs 345 pounds and can dominate centers and guards but also is quick enough to rush off the edge against tackles.

Did coach Mark Stoops’ flirtation with the Texas A&M job alter the expectations this season? Also, Nick believes this team looks similar in makeup to the 2018 group that went 10-3.Later, Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com joins Andy to talk Texas A&M. The Aggies are one of the more fascinating teams in the SEC. They just made a coaching change, but because of Mike Elko’s recent experience in College Station, he doesn’t feel like a first-year head coach there. After inheriting a roster that still has some serious talent following Jimbo Fisher’s firing, can Texas A&M pull off some surprises in 2024?Want to watch the show instead?

PicKell break down what Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said as the Rebels prepare for perhaps the most-hyped season in program history. Ole Miss went 11-2 last season and then seriously upgraded the roster in the transfer portal. Will that be good enough to make the College Football Playoff and/or compete for the SEC title? New ESPN commentator Nick Saban seems to think so, but Kiffin thinks all this offseason praise is -- to use a Sabanism -- at poison.Andy and J.D. also discuss J.D.'s interview with LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Is it finally time for J.D. to put the Gumbo Gunslinger nickname to rest, or does Nussmeier like it?Next, former LSU center and current Baton Rouge radio host T-Bob Hebert joins Andy to talk Tigers. How will LSU use linebacker Harold Perkins Jr.? And can the Tigers get better on defense after completely retooling the coaching staff on that side of the ball?Host: Andy StaplesGuest: JD PicKellProducers: River Bailey, Trey Yanity Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sanders essentially said he’s held to a higher standard than other coaches. But is he really? Andy explains.Sanders also seemed genuinely excited for this version of the Buffaloes. He’s confident they’ll be better than 4-8, and he explained why.Later, Andy breaks down Baylor coach Dave Aranda’s blunt assessment that the Bears are recruiting better because they are “paying players.”Next, it’s time for Dear Andy. You asked some great questions, including…Should the ACC get an automatic College Football Playoff bid if it loses Florida State and Clemson?Can Florida be better and that not reflect in the Gators’ record because of the difficulty of the schedule?Should a school pay its coach and AD less and send the difference to pay players?And much more…Want to watch the show instead?

The Oklahoma State coach appeared at Big 12 Media Days on Tuesday and explained why he’s not suspending star tailback Ollie Gordon following Gordon’s recent arrest on a charge of driving under the influence. Gundy did some beer math live on ESPN and the backlash came understandably quickly.Gundy has never worried too much about what anyone else thinks, and Andy wonders if Gundy has reached a point where he’s essentially in “screw it” mode. Andy also explains why the current state of things has put Gundy in a place where he can feel that way.Next, Pete joins the show to talk about Arch Manning’s EA Sports College Football 25 okey-doke.

Oregon got a commitment on July 4 from Duncanville, Texas, receiver Dakorien Moore, who is the highest ranked player to ever commit to the Ducks. He’s the type of player Oregon didn’t typically land before, but the Ducks’ 2025 class might wind up including the top-ranked or second-ranked (or both) player in the country at multiple positions.(0:00-2:50) Intro(2:51-9:06) Dakorien Moore Commits to Oregon(9:07-11:36) Remembering Khyree Jackson(11:37-13:27) Nebraska Coaching Staff Shuffle(13:28-17:40) Rest of the Week(17:41-43:59) Justin Hopkins from ScoopDuck joins(44:00-1:01:47) New Blood or Blue Blood Discussion(1:01:48-1:05:08) Conclusion, Recapping 4th of July WeekendJustin Hopkins of On3’s Scoop Duck joins Andy to discuss how Oregon has enhanced an already effective roster-building operation under coach Dan Lanning. Andy also wonders if Justin was correct last week when he wrote that Oregon isn’t a blueblood program yet but seems headed there. Andy wonders if the Ducks have possibly already crossed that threshold.More from Justin Hopkins and ScoopDuck here: https://www.on3.com/teams/oregon-ducks/Justin also shares memories of former Oregon and Alabama cornerback Khyree Jackson, the Minnesota Vikings rookie who died in a car crash this past weekend.Later, Andy builds on that blueblood conversation.
