On today's show, we are joined by Brad Crawford of 24/7 Sports as we touch on a lot of the biggest storylines of the offseason for the SEC, including Oklahoma and Texas joining the conference, which coaches are most on the hot seat heading into 2024, Kalen DeBoer replacing Nick Saban, and dealing with the expanded playoff this year. 

Also, we touch on Brad's article on 24/7 ranking all 16 SEC Quarterbacks Post-Spring, and kick around where he has many of those names ranked and which ones have gotten the most feedback. Also, did Hugh Freeze make a mistake sticking with Payton Thorne as his QB this season? 

In addition, we go Around The Conference as Florida football adds CB Cormani McClain, Brian Kelly and LSU add a defensive lineman in Jay'viar  Suggs from Grand Valley State, could LSU play a future game in Ireland?, Ryan McGee of ESPN lists five names from the SEC he thinks can compete for the Heisman this season, and we get a release date for the return of EA Sports' College Football 25 video game.

On today's show, we run through some of the big announcements from ESPN & ABC when it comes to marquee Week 1 games in the SEC and the game times. As the "SEC on ABC" debuts their new logo, we will get a triple-header between Georgia-Clemson, Florida-Miami, and Notre Dame-Texas A&M. 

In addition, College Gameday announces they're headed to College Station for Week 1 for Mike Elko's Aggieland debut as the Aggies play host to the Fighting Irish. Also, a few more gametimes are announced for some other SEC games, we get you caught up on those. And is the SEC keeping an eye on Florida State and Clemson when it comes to future expansion still? 

Also, we go Around The Conference, as Florida continues to recruit former five-star DB Cormani McClain as they host him on campus, but an interesting caveat that if he chooses the Gators, he may have to do it as a walk-on. And Kentucky adds a kicker in the portal, while LSU eyes Jay'viar Suggs. And why did the SEC give us Arkansas vs Kentucky in men's basketball only once next season? Calipari will return to Rupp Arena, but there will be no Wildcats visit to Bud Walton Arena.

On today's show, we hit on the latest Transfer Portal news in the SEC as Alabama adds Michigan State OL Geno VanDeMark for some depth on the o-line, as well as Penn State defensive back King Mack as Kane Wommack's secondary will have a lot of new names back there. Vandy adds Notre Dame CB Micah Bell, while Mississippi State adds West Virginia CB Montre Miller, among several others. Can Florida add former five-star CB Cormani McClain? 

Also we run through the latest 24/7 Sports Post-Spring SEC QB Rankings, as we dissect Brad Crawford's rankings for everyone including Carson Beck, Quinn Ewers, Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe & more. Did he rank them correctly from 16 down to 1? Are we giving too much credit to guys like Garrett Nussmeier and Nico Iamaleava? And maybe not enough credit to Graham Mertz and Payton Thorne? 

Lastly, we touch on all 13 SEC softball teams making the postseason and who's hosting and who's going on the road.

Introducing The Atlanta Hawks win the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery from Locked On Sports Today - Daily Podcast Covering The Biggest Sports Stories.

Follow the show: Locked On Sports Today - Daily Podcast Covering The Biggest Sports Stories

Anthony Edwards went off for the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the Denver Nuggets had the last laugh and tied the series up at two. Also, the Indiana Pacers absolutely dominated the New York Knicks to even their series. And the Atlanta Hawks, who had a three-percent chance to win the NBA Draft Lottery, secured the No. 1 overall pick.

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.

On today's show, we are doing some post-Spring evaluations with our buddy Chris Marler, as the Spring Transfer Portal has closed - are we surprised there weren't a ton of headline names transferring schools? We get Marler's thoughts on safety Tony Mitchell leaving Alabama, Georgia adding QB Jaden Rashada & more. 

We also run through a few teams that pleasantly surprised us in the spring, including Arkansas with Bobby Petrino back calling plays for new QB Taylen Green, Mississippi State who has very low expectations for Jeff Lebby in Year 1 but QB Blake Shapen is good enough to pull off an upset, and Florida has a brutal schedule but still has talent on the roster with Graham Mertz and DJ Lagway. 

And we touch on a few teams that may be a little bit overrated heading into this season. The Texas Longhorns will be very good, but are we overlooking all the talent they just lost to the NFL Draft? Does Mizzou take a step back this season, how big will the loss of RB Cody Schrader be for them? Could we be overrating Alabama a bit in Year 1 of Kalen DeBoer, and ignoring the losses on the defense?
