Or is it even possible to know?With Dabo Swinney’s refusal to embrace the transfer portal, do you think it is at all possible for him and Clemson to return to the success that they were at a few years ago? Is he a good enough recruiter and/or developer of talent to not need the transfer portal at all? And do you think there is any coach in the country who could succeed with this strategy (not taking players from the portal) besides Dabo?Which quarterback will Texas land for the class of 2025?What’s the most important thing to look for in a spring game?Want to watch the show instead?

John Calipari says GOODBYE to Kentucky | The transfer portal bubbles | Georgia spring game preview
John Calipari has said goodbye to Kentucky but has yet to officially say hello to Arkansas. Andy breaks down farewell videos from John and Ellen Calipari and handicaps the Kentucky hoops coaching search.(0:00-20:05) Intro - Calipari Confirms He's Leaving Kentucky(20:06-24:17) Transfer Portal Ramping Back Up - Bear Alexander(24:18-28:49) Oregon State RB Damien Martinez to enter(28:50-30:40) Indiana State's Robbie Avila to enter portal(30:41-37:14) Florida State vs ACC Update(37:15-1:05:49) Jake Rowe from Dawgs HQ joins(1:05:50-1:07:09) Dear Andy Tomorrow! andystapleson3@gmail.comMeanwhile, the football transfer portal is about to get some action. The window for undergraduate transfers doesn’t open until Monday, but two big names indicated on Tuesday that they plan to enter the portal when it opens. USC defensive tackle Bear Alexander — perhaps the biggest mover in last year’s spring portal when he went from Georgia to the Trojans — plans to move again. Meanwhile, Oregon State tailback Damien Martinez — who averaged 6.1 yards a carry for the Beavers last year — also plans to enter the portal.The basketball portal remains busy as well. Indiana State’s Robbie Avila — affectionately known as Cream Abdul-Jabbar or Larry Nerd — has entered his name into the portal. Is he following former Sycamores coach Josh Schertz to Saint Louis? Or is he looking elsewhere?In a Tallahassee courtroom, a judge denied the ACC’s request to stay Florida State’s lawsuit against the league. A North Carolina judge denied Florida State’s request last week to stay the ACC’s suit against the Seminoles in that state. That means things are about to get pretty messy, and the suits involving Clemson and the ACC in South Carolina and North Carolina haven’t even gotten rolling yet.Next, Jake Rowe of On3’s Dawgs HQ previews Georgia’s spring game. The Bulldogs are loaded again, but how exactly will they replace production from stars such as Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey?Want to watch the show instead?

Calipari, who has been under fire at Kentucky for early NCAA Tournament exits, would reset his clock. Arkansas would get the splash hire it desires after losing Eric Musselman to USC.

We’ve got two Final Fours to talk about. We’ve also got some football.It’s Iowa against UConn and South Carolina against N.C. State in the women’s Final Four, and all eyes are on Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and UConn’s Paige Bueckers. Clark always wanted to play for UConn, but Bueckers was the prized player the Huskies recruited in the class of 2020. Only one will lead her team to the national title game.Meanwhile, two N.C. State basketball teams are trying to shock the world. The N.C. State women play undefeated South Carolina, while the Wolfpack men will face Purdue on Saturday.We’ll also be talking N.C. State football. The Wolfpack play their spring game on Saturday, and so does Clemson. So we’re bringing in the great Roddy Jones of the ACC Network to discuss the biggest storylines in the league. And Roddy is very intrigued by new N.C. State quarterback Grayson McCall.Also, Nebraska’s quarterbacks met the media Thursday, which meant we got to see freshman Dylan Raiola’s first interview as a Cornhusker. Andy breaks it down.Next, On3’s James Fletcher III joins to discuss the men’s Final Four. Can UConn keep covering every spread, or can Alabama challenge the Huskies in a shootout? How will the matchup of N.C. State’s D.J. Burns Jr. and Purdue’s Zach Edey play out?Want to watch the show instead?

The Athletic reported on Wednesday that a group of movers and shakers — including multiple university presidents, a key search firm executive and a high-ranking NFL executive — are trying to create a college football super league that would provide a workable path forward (read: less lawsuits) while also not cutting out more than half the current FBS teams.The idea, brought forward by a group that includes NFL No. 2 Brian Rolapp and search firm executive Len Perna, would include all the current FBS programs but would be split into multiple divisions. There would be promotion and relegation between divisions. The league would serve as the employer for the players and would collectively bargain with the players.Andrew Marchand, who wrote The Athletic story along with Stewart Mandel, joins to discuss why they’re going public now and if there is any real chance this might happen. Spoiler alert: The Big Ten, the SEC and the TV networks do not seem supportive.Next, Andy answers your questions:How many college football games in 2024 will have more viewers than the LSU-Iowa women’s Elite Eight game played Monday?Is there a college football equivalent to the way referees call games involving Purdue basketball star Zach Edey?How many games does Kalen DeBoer have to win in year one at Alabama to keep the fanbase happy?And much, much more…Want to watch the show instead?

Jesse wrote a column this week detailing which teams had real chances to be the first champion to emerge from a 12-team College Football Playoff. That format matters a lot. A team now must win at least three and possibly four consecutive games against the best of the best to claim the national title. Who is deep enough to survive that gauntlet? But Andy wonders if any team is deep enough in the transfer portal era to avoid a surprise loss.Next, Spencer Holbrook of On3’s Lettermen Row joins to talk Ohio State as the Buckeyes — one of the teams that definitely belong on the can-win-the-national-title-list — continue spring practice. This is the most loaded Ohio State roster in years, but how do the pieces fit together? Is Kansas State transfer Will Howard definitely QB1, or does Devin Brown still have a chance? How does Alabama transfer Caleb Downs change the defense? Is receiver Jeremiah Smith, the nation’s top recruit in the class of 2024, as good as advertised?Want to watch the show instead?

DeBoer talked about the unique challenge of taking over an ultra-successful program rather than one that changed coaches because things weren’t working.DeBoer discussed how he wants the offense to look, and he went over the learning curve for quarterback Jalen Milroe and the rest of Alabama’s signal-callers. DeBoer also went in-depth on how important it was to get recruits to Tuscaloosa this spring so they could see for themselves that while the coaching staff is new, the standard at Alabama hasn’t changed.Next, Andy and On3’s James Fletcher III break down the Elite Eight games and look forward to the Final Four. Is the matchup of N.C. State’s D.J. Burns Jr. and Purdue’s Zach Edey the most fun clash we’ve seen in the post in a Final Four game this century?

Andy and On3’s James Fletcher III break it all down.For possibly the first time all season, Alabama’s defense matched its offense and the Crimson Tide beat North Carolina in a thriller that ended with multiple Grant Nelson blocks. Alabama will face Clemson, which beat Arizona on a night when the Wildcats inexplicably kept shooting threes that wouldn’t go down when easier scoring options were available.In the East Region, Illinois is headed to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2005 after beating Iowa State. The Cyclones brought their usual suffocating defense, but the Illini matched it and Terrence Shannon Jr. scored 29 and helped seal the win with a breakaway dunk.Illinois will face defending national champ Connecticut in the Elite Eight. The Huskies went cold late in the first half Thursday but roared to life in the second half and crushed San Diego State by 30 in a rematch of last season’s national title game.Friday, South No. 1 seed Houston plays Duke, while Marquette plays tourney darling N.C. State. In the Midwest region, Tennessee plays Creighton and top-seeded Purdue plays Gonzaga.Want to watch the show instead?
