The latest Transfer Portal News across the SEC as Auburn lands former Penn State WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith, bringing a veteran WR to pair with Cam Coleman for Payton Thorne. Mizzou adds another stud offensive lineman in SMU OT Marcus Smith who will transfer in. Texas A&M loses starting center Bryce Foster to the portal, while Alabama loses OL James Brockermeyer. Could LSU land Michigan State DL Simeon Barrow?

Also, Vandy lands a big time assistant from Clemson, Jeff Lebby says Mississippi State still wants to dive into the portal more, and Shane Beamer still isn't ready to name a starting QB at South Carolina though many expect it to be Lanorris Sellers.  

And the NFL Draft is tonight as the SEC expects several big names to all go in the first round including LSU QB Jayden Daniels, Georgia TE Brock Bowers and Alabama OT JC Latham. And kudos to Johnny Manziel appealing to the Heisman Trust to get Reggie Bush his Heisman back.

We are catching up with our Locked On Recruiting Insider Brian Smith as we start by talking all things Transfer Portal with Brian, as we get the latest on RB Damien Martinez, QB Jaden Rashada, and discuss the d-line additions for Auburn, Nic Scourton's spring at Texas A&M, and Arch Manning battling at Texas, & more. 

We also get Brian's thoughts on some of the SEC guys who recently hit the portal including Auburn WR Jay Fair, Mississippi State QB Mike Wright and LSU RB John Emery. 

And we talk all things recruiting as South Carolina and Shane Beamer add two four-star prospects this week for the class of 2025, Kalen DeBoer is ramping up recruiting at Alabama with a handful of four-star commitments this month, Brian Kelly and LSU continue to build a great class for next season, Mike Elko and Texas A&M are racking up on offensive linemen, and Georgia adds a four-star QB in Ryan Montgomery. Why are Arkansas and Florida so slow to get going for their 2025 classes?

We're recapping the five SEC Spring Games from this past weekend, and we start with the Texas Longhorns as Arch Manning shined for Texas, throwing for 355 yards and 3 TDs, while Quinn Ewers threw a pick-6 in limited action. Sark is firm on Ewers being QB1, but shouldn't he at least deem an 'open competition'? Is Texas making a mistake not letting Arch battle for the starting job? We also recap Oklahoma's Spring Game as Jackson Arnold is the guy at QB and has a nice deep threat weapon in WR Deion Burks transferring in from Purdue. But can Brent Venables' defense improve this season?

Also, we recap Texas A&M's Spring Game as Mike Elko has a stud defensive weapon in former Purdue edge Nic Scourton. Keep an eye on Aggies #11 as he is ready to sack QBs in the SEC. Meanwhile WR Noah Thomas emerges as a go-to target for Conner Weigman. At South Carolina, fans got to see new starting QB LaNorris Sellers battle it out with Robby Ashford. And true freshman Dylan Stewart is another defensive piece ready to rack up sacks. At Mississippi State, expectations are low for Jeff Lebby in Year 1 in Starkville, but he's got weapons in QB Blake Shapen and WRs Mario Craver, Kevin Coleman & Kelly Akharaiyi. 

In other SEC news, Ole Miss adds a starting caliber RB to the mix in Jacory Croskey-Merritt from New Mexico, as he ran for 1,190 yards and 17 TDs last season for the Lobos. Meanwhile, Auburn loses WR Jay Fair to the portal and LSU gymnastics with the National Championship.

On today's show, the Transfer Portal is officially open again in college football. What does it mean for your school? We're hitting on some of the latest SEC names to already enter the transfer portal including the Tennessee Vols' leading tackler from last season in linebacker Elijah Herring, who feels like he won't be a starter with Keenan Pili back for the Vols.

Also, Arkansas QB Jacolby Criswell is hitting the portal after it looks like the Hogs will roll with Taylen Green as a starter. Texas A&M linebacker Alex Howard is back in the portal after coming in this offseason from Youngstown State. Georgia running back Andrew Paul is in the portal as the Bulldogs appear to have nice depth ahead of him led by Trevor Etienne. Vanderbilt is losing wide receiver Josh Palmer and linebacker Dante Kelly who are hitting the portal. And Texas is losing edge Billy Walton and linebacker S'Maje Burrell as well as offensive lineman Payton Kirkland.

Lastly, we touch on what positions some SEC teams may be eyeing in this cycle of the transfer portal. And Arkansas decides to move their season opener vs Arkansas Pine-Bluff up to a Thursday kickoff.

On today's show, we are bringing you our takeaways from all EIGHT SEC Spring Games that took place this past Saturday. We start with Alabama, as we were very impressed with new wrinkles from Kalen DeBoer, and the run game looks to be dominant led by Jam Miller, Richard Young & Justice Haynes. Jalen Milroe has weapons everywhere, and the defense should be solid. Meanwhile, Georgia is loaded again as QB Carson Beck is back - I like what I saw from Dillon Bell, Oscar Delp and Lawson Luckie. Trevor Etienne will be a stud at RB for them, and Mykel Williams and CJ Allen are back to wreak havoc defensively. At Florida, Graham Mertz is the veteran back at QB, but DJ Lagway certainly is impressive for being an early enrollee freshman. Trey Wilson is ready to be the go-to at WR, and Pup Howard on defense is fun to watch. For LSU, they should be an offensive machine again this time led by QB Garrett Nussmeier with weapons in Kyren Lacy and Zavion Thomas - but can the LSU defense be improved over last year?

In Knoxville, we saw Nico Iamaleava pick up where he left off for the Vols, Chris Brazzell will be another weapon to add to their arsenal. Can the Vols defense improve with a freshman stuf in Boo Carter, and rising LB in Edwin Spillman? I know it's just a Spring Game, but I love what we saw at Arkansas in new QB Taylen Green. Bobby Petrino has two awesome weapons in Green and transfer RB Ja'Quinden Jackson - get used to those names. At Kentucky, even though their game wasn't televised, we got to see clips and takeaways which said QB Brock Vandagriff was impressive connecting with Dane Key and Khamari Anderson. Tempo has been the key this offseason for the Wildcats. And Ole Miss held their Spring Game which was more "games" which included a dunk contest, tug of war, hog dog eating with Joey Chestnutt, and a flag football style game that QB Jaxson Dart get in some work following lower leg surgery this offseason.

Lastly, we touch on Kentucky basketball selling out Rupp Arena for a PRESS CONFERENCE as they introduced their new head coach in Mark Pope. Will Mark Pope win a title at UK? We don't know, but give the UK alum credit for not shying away from expectations in Lexington.

Is Mark Pope the right guy for Kentucky? We are joined by Jake Hatch of Locked on Cougars, who's covered Mark Pope throughout his time at BYU. We run through the resume of Mark Pope and find out what he's like when it comes to recruiting, X's and O's, and leading a college basketball team. Is this just a sentimental pick for Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart?

And more importantly, with Pope having never won a tournament game as a head coach, can he lead Kentucky back to deep tourney runs and ultimately winning a championship? Will the Kentucky boosters back him and help with NIL? The 51-year old Pope will certainly have his work cut out for him in Lexington.
