Tune in for expert analysis and predictions that could shape your understanding of the upcoming season.

ESPN ranks the Top Newcomer classes in the country and South Carolina not only ranks 11th in the country but also Top 6 in the SEC. We talk about why the new era of college football recruiting favors South Carolina for the first time in program history.

Recruiting isn't solely based on how many 5 stars you can sign out of high school anymore. Now it's based on high school recruits, transfer portal additions, AND roster retention. And South Carolina does a better job than almost anyone at combining all three.

South Carolina's baseball team has a huge come from behind win over Winthrop (not Wofford like I accidentally called it in the show) and avoids a rock bottom loss. With LSU on deck, the Gamecocks could be facing ending the season with their second fewest wins in the last 50 years of the program. Why tonight, and this season, HAVE to be a building block for next year. Also, we talk about the latest news from the pre-NBA Draft process. What we are hearing about where Collin Murray-Boyles could end up and is he the biggest sleeper of the draft?

Josh Pate's Post-spring 2025 Poll is out and the consensus is that South Carolina MAY have more questions than answers heading into the season. The Gamecocks are ranked #18 in the poll and we discuss whether or not that's fair or egregiously too low. The truth is somewhere and the middle.

Defensively this team does have a lot of questions in comparison to last year's squad. But even after losing five players to the NFL, and replacing a ton of talent, Chris Marler explains why the lack of searching for replacements on the recruiting trail and/or transfer portal tells us EXACTLY what we need to know about where this team is heading into the season.

Join this week's SEC Squad where our SEC hosts discuss who is the most dangerous team in the SEC. Dive into the SEC's post-spring rankings as we explore the potential of top teams like Texas A&M and the Texas Longhorns, who are generating buzz with their high expectations and key player developments. Join hosts Chris Gordy, John Miller, John Williams, and Corey Burton as they analyze dark horse candidates such as Arkansas, Kentucky, and Ole Miss. The discussion covers the impact of recent roster moves, coaching changes, and the challenges these teams face in the competitive SEC landscape. Don't miss this engaging analysis of the SEC's upcoming season and discover which teams might surprise you. Tune in for expert insights and predictions that could reshape your view of college football.
