| 6/25/26 |  CRUNCH TIME: Albert Simien & Caden Moss DECISIONS, Latest Recruiting Intel | Albert Simien and Caden Moss shake up SEC and national recruiting with pivotal college decisions. Will Ole Miss’s offensive line recruiting momentum force other SEC teams to change how and where they recruit? The Rebels are certainly doing their best to keep top talent inside the Magnolia State. Brian Smith unpacks Moss’s anticipated Ole Miss commitment, the Rebels’ aggressive in-state run headlined by top talent like Antonio Berry, and why SEC powers like Alabama and LSU are scrambling to adapt. The conversation spotlights Albert Simien’s likely Notre Dame move despite fierce competition from Texas A&M, LSU, and others—raising big questions about how national programs are leveraging NIL and strategic recruiting ops. Additional highlights cover top 2027 and 2028 prospects, instant-impact transfers, and bold fan chatter from BYU about the upcoming Notre Dame game in Provo, Utah. There’s also the Michigan Michigan schedule to unpack. Can Michigan’s revamped coaching staff and sophomore quarterback Bryce Underwood withstand a daunting schedule? Recruiting flip rumors, new NIL priorities, and rapid-fire Q&A keep every college football fan on alert for what’s coming next.

| 6/13/26 |  RELENTLESS: Texas Goes ALL-IN for ELITE DL Recruits, SPOTLIGHTING Marcus Fakatou's Rare Talent | Texas Longhorns go all-in on elite defensive line talent, stacking their roster with ultra-physical Portal additions like Hero Kanu and Maraad Watson, plus adding 2027 commitment Kasi Currie. Most of all, the Horns want to add elite 6-7 and 260-pound Marcus Fakatou, a teammate of Currie’s. Can this relentless recruiting run transform Texas into the most dominant D-line in college football? Brian Smith breaks down the Longhorns’ aggressive shift from portal reliance to building through the high school ranks, spotlighting top committed recruits Cameron Hall, Jabarrius “Chicken” Garror, and Derwin Fields. The episode highlights Texas’ successful mix of transfer portal veterans and four-star prep standouts, plus their pursuit of emerging stars like Mitchell Turner and Tyler Alexander. From All-American hopeful Kanu’s impact to the growing connections with Sierra Canyon alumni, the conversation examines whether Texas can outpace peer football programs like Georgia, Ohio State and Oregon for coveted recruits. Will Texas’ D-line depth give them the edge in the SEC? Don’t miss this breakdown of the Longhorns’ quest for defensive supremacy.
