SEC recruiting heats up as the Alabama Crimson Tide football move up with a top-five class. Kalen DeBoer has landed 4 five-stars, including the #1 corner, #2 WR, #2 safety, and #2 edge. They now have the #5 class for 2026 with 8 top-100 players. But Paul Finebaum says DeBoer needs to make the playoffs this year or pressure will mount.

Chris Gordy breaks down the wild weekend in SEC recruiting. 7 SEC schools now have top-16 classes. Which team's haul impressed you most? An interesting development - Texas Tech just signed 5-star OT Felix Ojo to a fully guaranteed 3-year, $5.1 million deal. It's one of the first times we've seen financials publicly announced for a recruit. Do you think this will become the norm, or will most schools keep the numbers private?

The discussion also covers Texas A&M's third-ranked class, LSU's key additions, and Georgia's recruiting efforts. Gordy also examines Pro Football Focus's surprising top player rankings for 2025.

Tune in for exclusive insights on SEC football's evolving landscape and the impact of these recruiting battles on the upcoming season.
