Andy and Phillip Dukes are talking Auburn on a glorious spring Friday. Hugh Freeze said this week that he decided to roll with the QBs the Tigers had — including incumbent starter Payton Thorne and incoming freshman Walker White — rather than spending big on a QB in the transfer portal. Was that the correct choice, and how much will Freeze’s decision to call plays again change the course of the offense? Also, how good is freshman receiver Cam Coleman?

(1:01:58-1:03:51) Wrapping Up, Conclusion


JuJu Lewis, a top class of 2025 quarterback recruit from Dukes' neck of the woods is committed to USC and being pursued by Auburn, but he has scheduled a visit to Indiana. How did that happen, and what does it say about how serious new Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti is about turning around that program?

The guys also discuss which teams improved their rosters the most now that the spring transfer portal window has closed. Miami kept adding players, but will those additions help the Hurricanes win more come fall?

Andy and Dukes also discuss former NBA guard Austin Rivers’ comment that there were about 30 NBA players who could play in the NFL. Which is the more difficult sport? Also, which NBA stars would we have loved to see in college football?

But first we have to dive into Brian Kelly's comments on the transfer portal, particularly the defensive tackle position

Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Ole Miss look like CFP contenders, but should others — looking at you LSU, Missouri and Tennessee — dream just as big?

Just how dire are the situations at Arkansas and Florida?

And which SEC quarterback does Cody think will shock the nation in 2024?

The ULTIMATE SEC Preview for 2024

The transfer portal is closed, and the last of the entrants are finding new teams. On3’s Pete Nakos joins to break down the action.

(0:00-5:49) Intro
(5:50-25:44) Pete Nakos Joins to Breakdown Transfer Portal
(25:45-37:48) Future of College Football, Court News
(37:49-41:19) LSU Intro
(41:20-1:04:10) Billy Embody from the Bengal Tiger joins
(1:04:11-1:06:10) Conclusion

Amorion Walker is the latest Boomerang transfer. Walker played at Michigan last year, transferred to Ole Miss in January and now has decided to transfer back to Michigan. Meanwhile, Alabama DB transfer Peyton Woodyard committed to Oregon. San Jose State CB transfer Jay’Vion Cole, the top remaining DB in the portal, committed to Texas.

The landing spot for Oklahoma QB transfer General Booty remains unknown.

Andy and Pete also discuss Pete’s story on the possibility that athletes might collectively bargain with schools or conferences even if they aren’t employees. This is what the schools would prefer, but it may not be possible because of a variety of factors.

Next, Billy Embody of On3's The Bengal Tiger joins to talk LSU. First, he and Andy put to rest any J.D. PicKell-created debate over the nickname for Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.

Billy explains what LSU does now after missing on several key defensive line targets in the spring transfer portal window. He also offers some insight as to how LSU will replace the production of first-round receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.

Andy and Dukes also tackle the closing of the transfer portal and discuss which teams got better.

Next, Sean Fitz of Blue White Illustrated joins to help Andy answer a question that popped up during last week’s Dear Andy episode: Is Penn State on the list of schools where the job description of the head coach simply reads “win the national championship?”
