Now, get ready to roll, Shoals, Decatur, Athens and all of Northwest Alabama and Southern Tennessee. It's time for the Valley's exclusive FM Sports Voice.
The Boomo Bugg Show. New exclusive inside track to the Tigers, Tennessee and the rest of the SEC. Now your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9 The Score.
Good afternoon and welcome into the Boomo Bugg Show. I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird. Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley. Brett Beaird, welcome in with a question of the day is, how sweet is this year for the Braves? They don't play and they still increase their first place lead. Good afternoon, welcome in and how are you?
Happy Tuesday to you and the listeners. And yes, the Phillies and the Mets managers are no longer employed either. That's quite interesting. We'll talk about the Braves a little bit later in the show.
Well, Las Vegas insider Bruce Marshall recaps the NFL draft for us. Caleb Suggs of the Decatur Daily previews the second round of the high school baseball playoffs in North Alabama.
And we are delighted to bring back Charlie Potter, good friend, who's going to join us right now to recap the NFL draft for Alabama and some of his questions for Alabama after a day.
And that ain't all. CP is Charlie Potter, senior team writer, BamaOnline.com, part of the On3.com family. Charlie, welcome in. How are you?
I'm great, guys. Thanks for having me.
You're good.
Man, we appreciate you taking time out. Charlie, how surprised were you at the Ty Simpson news? Not that he was drafted, but where and when he was drafted.
Yeah, I mean, watching it on the couch like everybody else, obviously I had my laptop open ready for any news, like the Rams being there.
And that was interesting because I think it makes a lot of sense. I think I said on a podcast of ours or something beforehand, like that would be a perfect fit because Matthew Stafford coming off an MVP season.
But we know he's kind of entering the tail end of his career, but a chance to learn and kind of sit behind him, which I think would really benefit Ty Simpson at the next level.
The still 13th was a little bit of a surprise. I thought it made a lot of sense for maybe a team to trade back into the first round to get him a team that really wanted him to have that fifth-year option.
Because that's something people don't really take into consideration is those first round picks, they got that fifth-year option.
And you're drafting a rookie quarterback, that's nice to have because you got to pay those guys if they pan out at least some big bucks.
So a great landing spot for Ty. I know it's been a divisive pick of sorts, but I think it's great for him.
And I think it's a team, too, that I know that their Super Bowl window is currently open, and you want to take advantage of that.
But if you can also do that while getting ready for the future, I think it makes a lot of sense.
Absolutely.
CP, when this coaching staff sits down in a living room and tells a potential high school prospect, we can get you to the next level, to the NFL, to fulfill your dream, they can do it.
Once again, 10.
I'd read several.
Well, I don't know if Alabama can get anyone in the first round, and that would break the record.
Well, they got two.
Then they end up getting 10.
Joe Miller may have been a little bit of a surprise.
Josh Quavis was not to me.
But, Charlie, when they can tell a player and a family they can get them to the next level, they're not kidding.
No, it's 10 selections.
That's tied for the second most this year.
I think Ohio State has had 11.
And, you know, they had a ton of guys taken there on day one, especially, I think, in the top 11 picks.
But that's, I think, 10 picks in seven of the last 10 NFL drafts for Alabama.
They've had at least seven in 15 consecutive drafts.
And, like you said, they extend their NCAA record for first-round picks in consecutive drafts to 18 years.
And, honestly, the next year, I don't really see that flowing down.
I think they'll get to at least 20 with this.
Can't look that far ahead into the future.
But it's just an impressive, impressive feat.
And, yeah, I mean, you look at what they're able to do with landing top recruits, developing them.
There's a lot of transfers that go on and, you know, have success in the next level, at least from a draft standpoint.
Jeremy Bernard's the first player not coached by Nick Saban to be drafted by Alabama since 2007.
But these guys, it's a h*** of a recruiting tool because I think their contracts are worth nearly a combined $95 million.
And their signing bonuses is a hair over $37 million.
Like, you take that into recruits' houses and show them, like, not only can you make money at the collegial level,
but we're setting you up for generational wealth well beyond.
$95 million.
Nick Saban said, did Alabama ever get a bargain at a mere $4 million?
Charlie Potter, senior team writer at BamaOnline.com.
Charlie, talk to us about the pipeline continuing.
Alabama gets a five-star quarterback again and again.
What's in the sauce down there, Charlie?
Yeah, the staff has three cycles in a row with a five-star quarterback signing
because it started with Keelan Russell.
Jed Tamala ended last year's cycle as a five-star.
And then on Saturday, during day three of the draft, it was a busy Saturday for us covering the team,
they landed Elijah Haven, five-star quarterback from Baton Rouge.
And he's a guy that staff has been in on for a while now.
I know Nick Sheridan, who's now moved on to Michigan State to be their offense coordinator,
kind of helped develop and build that relationship.
Brian Ellis, who's the new quarterback's coach, continued it.
And then, of course, Ryan Grubb and Kalen DeBoer, Courtney Morgan.
There's a ton of people I think deserve a lot of credit for this one.
And second year in a row, Alabama's going to have a two-quarterback class because they have Trent Seaborn from Thompson High School committed right now.
So it's a position that Alabama has recruited extremely well.
They've had three five-stars, two four-stars under Kalen DeBoer so far.
And look, you've got to recruit that position because it's one nowadays in the transfer portal.
You can lose talent there.
It's just kind of the nature of the beast.
But to be able to recruit those guys that think this staff has shown, one, that they can recruit in general.
I know that was a huge question mark.
But the position they've arguably recruited the best, I think maybe defensive back could make a run at this.
But quarterback, you can't really say much about what Kalen DeBoer and this staff have done.
Because getting Elijah Haven, the number one quarterback in the class, to commit big, I think it's going to help them go into the summer with all these official visits.
And so we'll see if they can get this ball rolling in terms of building another elite class, building it and starting it with a five-star quarterback.
I always enjoy your questions after 8-8.
Four or five questions on defense.
Four or five questions on offense.
NCP, besides certainly the interest in who's going to be the quarterback, and we're not going to know that, probably into midway through summer camp,
can Alabama improve at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball?
And let's start on the defensive side of the ball.
They begin to quietly develop some numbers.
Obviously, Devin Tompkins, Terrence Green coming in from USC in Oregon,
London Simmons, Jeremiah Beeman, Hill, Faga, Benley Jones, who had two or three plays that stood out.
Steve Em, or Steve Bolo, as I call him.
And you've got two or three other guys.
Ken and Nolan Wilson, Jamarian Matthews, or Maury Johnson helped them this year.
Again, the proof's in the pudding.
But, CP, is this team, has it developed more depth on the defensive front, and are they better?
I think since they wanted to get bigger, they did.
Terrence Green is just a massive human being.
Devin Tompkins comes in.
I think he's 6'5", and two pounds shy of 300 pounds.
He's a guy that can play the bandit.
He can play inside the three-tech.
This defensive line can be really, really good.
You're going to lose guys like Keenan and L.T. Overton.
You're going to miss them.
But I think that they've kind of supplemented it well with the transfer portal and bringing in a ton of freshmen.
This is a position group that you could tell the staff emphasized during the offseason.
But I'll be interested to see, because they want to be more dominant up front, create more havoc, just how they utilize it.
Because I think we could see two outside backers on the field a lot at the same time.
I think Yonse Pierre showed that he's certainly capable of being a disruptive force.
Justin Hill had a strong freshman season, but I think they're expecting him to take the next step.
He looked really good on A-Day.
They bring in Desmond Umazulu from South Carolina.
That's a trio of outside backers that you want to get on the field quite a bit.
And you add into the fact you have Devin Tompkins, where you can move him around.
You have Green and Simmons and a ton of guys that you can play up front.
I think it's versatile.
It's multiple.
And this is a group that I think has a chance to be really special.
They're going to have to prove it.
And again, that was one thing that Cain Womack, when we heard from in the spring, kept talking about wanting to be more dominant up front.
And I think they made some moves to try to do that.
We'll see if they pan out.
But they've got depth.
Like Stephen Bumaw had a big payday.
I think he's a guy that kind of stocked up heading out of the spring practice.
So I'll be fascinated to see how that group pans out because I think they put a lot into it.
And we'll see if they get a lot out of it as well.
Charlie Potter, hooking up with us.
BamOnline.com, part of the On3.com family.
Charlie, a lot of folks after last season didn't waste any time asking questions.
Coming out of spring camp, where are you, Charlie, as far as the offensive line overall, being able to not win ballgames.
They're going to win ballgames, talking about being in contention for a championship and the running back room.
To me, that's a hard question because not everybody's healthy.
But in the spring game, I think a lot of folks came away with some questions.
Where do you start answering those questions, Charlie, at those two positions?
Yeah, I think the running back room is still kind of TBD.
I honestly think both are because, like you said, they weren't healthy.
I think William Sanders is a guy on the offensive line who is probably, he's who I would pense when you're starting left guard.
He was out all spring after recovering from his off-season surgery.
They have some other pieces that they can move around there.
I think Nick Brooks is maybe someone that could play at left guard, the transfer from Texas, who's a mammoth human being.
But he's played more on the right side in the spring.
So that's, I think, is still a work in progress.
I was shocked to hear basically how many starting jobs were all but one in the spring.
And we know that Jackson Lloyd has basically locked up that left tackle spot.
It sounds like Rayson Delgati, the transfer from Cal Poly, is the starting center.
And then the right side, I'm fascinated to see what happens with Michael Carroll because he's either going to be your starting right tackle or your starting right guard.
And so he's a right guard like he was for most of the spring.
Javon James, the transfer from Mississippi State, is your starting right tackle.
So that's just one of those things where you're still trying to figure out where guys are going to be.
They definitely brought in a lot of new pieces.
And that's the thing about the offensive line is it takes time to gel.
So it's still very much so a question mark and not necessarily one in a negative aspect.
It's just the uncertainty because there were guys that were out with injuries.
You're adding new pieces.
H***, you have a new offensive line coach in Adrian Clem coming in.
It's going to take some time for that group to come together.
And then the running back spot, you lose Jim Miller.
You lose a guy like Richard Young to the transfer portal.
It's a situation where they're going to need guys like Daniel Hill and Kevin Riley and A.K. Deer to take that next step.
And if they don't, you have these true freshmen in E.J.
Kroll and Treshawn Brown who are kind of chomping at the bit for reps.
And it sucks for E.J. because he's a five-star kid, came in early, reclassified.
And I think that they are expecting big things from him.
But he didn't take very many reps at all this spring because of an injury.
And so with that, it allowed Treshawn Brown to take more reps.
He really flashed.
If those guys that were on this team last year that didn't really get it done continue to not get it done,
those true freshmen I think are going to be guys that get those opportunities and maybe help out this run game this fall.
Charlie, I know it's almost impossible to answer this question, but everyone's asking it.
What are you hearing about E.J. Kroll's injury?
Is it one of those deals where they just want to take precautions in the spring?
There's no point in pushing it here.
We know what the kid's potentially able to do.
What are you hearing as far as his timetable?
Yeah, I think it was more of a precaution than anything.
We did see him in a walking boot and running around on a scooter during A-Day.
But I think he's a guy that's going to be ready to go for summer workouts.
I think next month is big for him.
I think June he's probably ready to go.
I'd hate to put a percentage on it, but I'd imagine he's close to 100% in June.
And so that's going to be big for him.
He got the mental reps, and he got a little bit of reps early.
But then, you know, I think they're going to need E.J. Kroll to be E.J. Kroll this fall.
And the big thing is, can he help out in pass protection?
How is he in that regard?
Spring would have been big for that, just getting used to it.
Because he's a guy like you're turning around and handing the ball off to him in high school.
I don't really care what kind of offensive system you have.
When you have a player like that, you're not asking him to do a whole lot,
but take the ball and do your thing.
So there's going to be some adjustment for him, and I think he's capable of it.
But you've got to be able to pass protect.
You've got to be able to help out as a blocker.
And so that's going to be interesting to see how it pans out,
because I think he has all the capability to be a stellar SEC back.
But I think that I don't expect this to really linger,
and I expect when we get out there in early August or late July,
wherever preseason camp starts, I expect to see 13 on the field and doing things.
And barring a setback, I think that's the expectation of those coaching staff as well.
Well, one expectation we have is BOL is going to have tremendous articles every day
by Andrew Bone, Blake Beiler, Tim Watts, and Charlie Potter.
Blake, I know, is going to be covering basketball,
some important decisions coming in, the transfer portal for NATO.
CP, where can we get online and get all of the great stuff?
Yeah, I'm just over at bamonline.com.
It's starting to slow down a little bit,
but I know Blake and I will be out at the region's tradition pro-am tomorrow morning
to hear from Oates and DeBoer and Saban.
So we'll have a ton on the site this week.
And then May starting up, I know recruiting is going to be picking up,
but I'll start a lot of off-season series stuff to kind of pass the time.
But recruiting is going to pick up here with official visits,
so you'll want to stay tuned to bamonline.com.
I know right now you can probably sign up for a dollar.
So great time to do that to get all the good stuff.
A dollar, is that for a year for a dollar?
What's the terms on that, Charlie?
I don't know.
I think it might be a week, it might be a month.
You'll just have to go find out, I guess.
Go online and say, right?
Charlie, it's always good to hook up with you.
Thank you so much for your time today and have a great week.
Okay, buddy?
All right, guys, thanks for having me.

Hello again, everybody.
I'm Roger Hoover.
On Tuesday's edition of Crimson Drive, driven by NASCAR, we'll be joined by Alabama baseball outfielder Peyton Steele.
Will Plattner, I mean, he's not on the field every day, but I mean, in the dugout, he just keeps the energy up.
And some of the freshmen have also stepped up energy-wise.
And energy is such a big part of the game.
I mean, it just stacks and stacks, like one hit after another, and it just plays.
I mean, you know, if there's a dead dugout, it doesn't matter how many home runs you're going to hit.
I mean, the other team's always got the advantage.
I mean, energy is such a big thing in baseball.
The classes aren't very easy, but, you know, I get through it.
I get through it.
Anything you might like to do after your baseball career is done?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, obviously, I want to become an engineer, but I think maybe mixing engineering and baseball together, like designing bats or gloves or something like that would be pretty cool.
And besides that, maybe playing slow pitch softball.
I've always kind of wanted that.
That'd be pretty cool.
I think you'd do pretty well there.
I'll have more in a moment.

The Score.
Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.
Welcome back here.
Time to open the door and say hello to Caleb Suggs.
He's got it all covered there at the Decatur Daily.
Caleb, welcome in.
How are you?
I'm doing good, guys.
How are you all?
You're doing all right.
Appreciate you asking.
It's safe to say it's a good time to be alive.
You love good high school baseball playoff acts.
You've got plenty on your plate there, do you not, Caleb?
Yeah, we got, you know, we had about eight or nine teams that made it, and we had about five that went on to the second round.
We've been blessed with some really good teams this year, and, you know, we got some teams, I think, that, you know, every week you're going to have some that will drop off.
But, you know, I think we got some teams that have a chance to make it for deep runs, so it's set up for some pretty good baseball.
So let's start with, at the top of your list and kind of work our way down, your thoughts, where do you start in breaking down some of the folks still in the running?
Well, I mean, you've got to look at, I mean, you've got Hartzell and Coleman this week.
I mean, that's obviously the game of probably the state, in my opinion.
I mean, you're two of the best baseball programs in the entire state, and, you know, just such a fierce rivalry, and you kind of look at it, you know, they haven't been in the same area for a while.
They used to play in the playoffs like every year, but they haven't actually played in the playoffs since 2018.
So, you know, this is kind of, you know, kind of revitalizing this rivalry a little bit, and you're talking about two top five teams.
You know, they're at the top of their game.
Coleman's been down a little bit lately, but they're finally back to where you can expect them to be, and then, of course, Hartzell's trying to get to the state finals in the last six years.
So, you know, this is going to be one of those games where you better get there an hour early because there's going to be a ton of people there, and it's going to be some great baseball, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it go three games, and I'm really looking forward to it.
I bet I could count on two fingers the number of teams in the state that could say they've been to the state finals five in the last six years.
They swept Buckhorn in the first round two to nothing and 14 to eight.
Brad Phillips is a great coach, and every time we talk about Hartzell, I feel that they've got so many multi-sport athletes.
It's Cole Miles, Jake Miles' son, the athletic director Connor Stiles, Ashton Doppel, and you just go on and on and on.
Again, listen, I'm like you.
Coleman is good.
They take baseball seriously, but it would not surprise me one bit if it's the six out of seven by the time we get to the end of the playoffs.
Yeah, actually, they're going from fifth up five out of six, so they've been four in the last five.
They're going from five out of six, but yeah, I mean, you just look at it.
I mean, you know, they've been dominant, and of course, Hartzell has a history of being dominant,
but I mean, I think this stretch that they have right now rivals, you know, what they were doing in the 90s,
and they're just pumping out really good players.
I think this year, pitching maybe not quite as deep as it was last year, but they still got some pretty good arms,
but I think the big thing is you just look at the lineup.
I mean, it's just insane going through all the whole way.
I mean, they've got guys that can, you know, hit it off the wall, hit it out of the park.
I mean, literally off of the lineup, every single one of them.
You know, I haven't looked at the numbers, but I would wager they're averaging seven, eight runs a game, which is just crazy.
So, I mean, you know, when you have a lineup like that, you know,
you don't have to have necessarily the pitchers that can pitch a 1-0 game every single time.
You know, you can work around that.
So, you know, they're the team to beat.
I know Coleman is actually ranked higher, but, I mean, Hartzell, they've won, you know,
kind of a little bit like they did last year.
They, you know, played a tough schedule and then ended up winning, you know, 20 or something on the road in the season,
and they've done something similar here.
They're on a 10 or 15-game winning streak.
I mean, they're peaking at the right time.
I mean, if Coleman wants to get, you know, get back to the state finals, you know,
like they used to be for, you know, five or six years in a row,
they're going to have to earn it on the road at Hartzell.
Caleb Suggs, looking up with us to you at Decatur Daily.
What is it across the bridge over in Limestone County that's in the baseball water?
Athens High, they've had their moments, but every year Athens Bible seems to be there,
and you mentioned Hartzell with a long, proud tradition.
Lindsay Lane is a baby by comparison, but, man, are they making some noise.
Yeah, no, I agree, and I think you look at it, Limestone County as a whole,
have some teams that are, you know, in sports that are good here and there,
but overall, football, basketball, you know, they've been struggling a little bit lately,
so it's fun to see, you know, them as a county as a whole just have this success in baseball.
And it's not like they just, you know, were in an easy area and got in the playoffs.
I mean, they have some really good teams.
You mentioned it.
Lindsay Lane is extremely good.
They're the number one team in 2A for a reason.
You know, already won over 30 games.
A really, really good team.
They have a chance to go to the state finals.
East Limestone is having a great year.
Their coach, I think, is going to be a contender for Coach of the Year.
What he's doing with that program, they're really good.
Elkmont, they've kind of been one of the underrated teams the last few years,
been a pretty solid playoff team every year, made a few deep runs to the quarterfinals.
I mean, they're riding there again.
And then Athens Bible, like you said, I mean, they're always there.
Luke Merle for them is an outstanding player, and they've got some other talented guys.
So, you know, it's cool for that community, that county, just to see, you know,
multiple teams have success.
And, you know, I wouldn't be surprised to see two or maybe even three of those teams
go on past the first round.
I mean, past the second round.
So, I wouldn't be surprised if we had several teams again in the round next week.
I agree with you.
Lindsay Lane, a very impressive 30-6 on the season.
They're hosting Cold Springs.
They swept Pisgah 5-1 and 16-1.
Wyatt Wallace, complete game, struck out 10.
Grayson Miller, Hampton Wallace.
When Robbie Parker went to Lindsay Lane as their principal, Robbie is the former, he's done
so many things, but he's the former baseball coach at Bob Jones.
And I knew they were going to have quite a baseball program once they got there.
And let me mention East Limestone, 23-8.
They're hosting Lincoln.
Lincoln's had a good year, too.
I think that's Thursday, 4-30 to 6-30.
And we've talked with you about how the underrated, how Athens is.
Well, we just got through talking with you about what East Limestone did in boys' basketball.
Charles Eslick is one of their dominant pitchers.
You mentioned it again.
I believe there are four Limestone County teams.
And East Limestone is, again, another one of the most underrated athletic programs in North Alabama.
Yeah, you know, and I think it goes back to, you know, something you mentioned with Hartzell,
having multi-sport athletes.
A lot of those guys that are really good in basketball are helping the team in baseball.
It's like, you know, Brody Coker.
I mean, they're just, they were, the guys that were there for that deep run in basketball are there for baseball.
And I think that's something that I wish, you know, I hate these days.
Sometimes we get people pushing kids towards specializing in sports.
You know, you have to play baseball year-round or volleyball year-round or basketball year-round.
I don't like that.
I think, I'm not saying you have to play every sport, but I think kids benefit more when they're playing multiple sports
and not, you know, having to play the same sport year-round, one, because I think it helps, you know, skills,
but also because you're just not, you know, sucking the fun out of one sport playing it all the time.
And so I always, I always love seeing teams that have these multi-sport athletes and I hope for them to have success
because I think that's the way it should be.
And so I'm hoping that they, I'm glad that they've had success and I hope they continue it.
Absolutely.
Just in closing, Wes Morgan searching for a new boys basketball coach.
Bobby Myers did a really good job.
Wes Morgan, we talked with you about them advancing to the Elite Eight.
That's a plumb job.
I'm going to be curious to see who gets that job.
As usual, thank you for previewing.
I think most of these games are Thursday, doubleheader games, rubber match on Friday or Friday,
and then the rubber match on Saturday.
I know they wouldn't get away from some of the weather.
Possibly too.
Always great to talk to you.
Where can we get online and get your previews?
Score softball going to be big.
They're going to be getting to Florence in a couple of weeks.
You've got it all covered.
Where can we get online and get it?
Yeah, you can get online at decadedaily.com.
All our baseball playoff series this week are starting on Thursday.
We've got soccer tonight.
And like you mentioned, your softball area starts this weekend.
So, you know, it's full throttle until the end of the school year.
So, yeah, if you want to jump on that, you'll find all our stuff on there.
Off-season.

Now, back with Boomo Bugg
On 93.9 The Score
Welcome back in, road trip
All the way to Las Vegas
Hello to the King of Vegas
Bruce Marshall
Busy there at Las Vegas Insider
Also, the goal sheet
And wager talk
BAMSports.net
CBS Sportsline
Winners and whiners
Picks and parlays
His podcast
Bet Rivers
And Vegas Insider
Bruce Marshall
Welcome in
How are you?
Yeah, pretty good
Just trying to catch my breath
With all that's going on here
Hopefully you survived the NFL draft okay
It's always a fine question, Bruce
Before we get into some of the obvious questions
In your opinion
And in Vegas' opinion
Who are the big winners
And who are the big losers
As far as teams go?
Well, I'll tell you
I think the biggest winner in this draft
And we'll check back
Hope we're doing this show in a couple years
Will be Carolina
Because of somebody
It took
Not even in the draft
They went and signed
Immediately signed Haynes King
Right after the draft
He went through unscathed
And apparently they were kind of looking at him
And thinking nobody would take a chance on him
And I think this is
And the fact that King and Paviat were not drafted
Just shows
That this
Insane groupthink
That the NFL has
And they make mistakes
So often
You cannot tell me
That
Nathan
Kully Minakis
The quarterback from Rutgers in Minnesota
With his modest college career
The commanders drafted him
In the seventh round
When Pavia and Haynes King
Were still on the board
That's insane
There's no way this guy is that good
And for whatever reason
They ended up not liking King
Apparently Carolina
Signed him immediately
They signed him to a contract
That was sort of like a mid-round pick
And they're kind of grooming him
They think he can be the backup
To Bryce Young
And we don't know that Bryce is
Maybe they have Dalton for another year
But they almost think
King is going to be their quarterback
I swear
This could end up being
The best move of the draft
Now
For teams that actually pick
Pick players
I think
The
I can't hate to give Jerry Jones credit
Like this
Maybe he finally got one right
Here
Caleb Jones
I mean
I thought he
Slid a little further
Than he should have
I mean
He was better than
The 11th best player
In the draft
I thought
And that's when
Dallas got him
So he was there
I also like
What the Jets did
And I also like
We talked about
Cape Klubnik last week
I thought he's got
Some Brock Purdy in him
They took him
In the mid-round
I could
And with that quarterback
Situation there
At the Jets
He's going to have a chance
Now
The whole Jets situation
Is up in flux
But I think that was
A very good pick
And on the other side
I
You know
Ty Simpson
We will see
But
You know
A lot of people think
In the Rams
You know
They're right on the
This is the Super Bowl
Window right here
Maybe you should have
Got somebody in the
First round
Who could help you
Immediately
Because you've still
Got Stafford in the fold
And maybe this isn't
The time to make
A long-range pick
And in any event
If Simpson
They're not going to
Play this year
He's going to be
Watching Stafford
Or I mean
If he plays
Then Stafford
Will have gotten hurt
And that's not
Good either
So it
That's got a lot
Of people puzzled
Why the Rams
Didn't
Look for some
Immediate help
Another receiver
Maybe another blocker
Who could step right in
They picked a guy
Who's not going to
Help them in 2026
And that puzzles
Some people
Bruce you brought up
The name
It's been
To me
They had what
Over 250 kids
Drafted
But the one
In addition to
King who wasn't
Drafted
Is sitting on the
Headlines
And social media
The kid that
Played in Nashville
Last couple seasons
Diego Pavia
Is it safe to say
That basically
His talent
Got him in the
Conversation
His character
Cost him some money
Could be
Could be
I mean
I mean
I wish he pulled
Back that
Post on Twitter
Or X
After
You know
Mendoza won
That was not
A good look
However
Listen
If that's
His biggest
Transgression
You know
Everybody
He seemed to be
Pretty popular
Guy
At Vanderbilt
He wasn't
New Mexico
State
Baltimore's
Taking a chance
They're going
To bring him
In
And I
Think he will
Be an interesting
Guy to watch
In preseason
I don't expect
Him to usurp
Lamar Jackson
Anytime soon
But
Jackson's had a
Hard time
Staying healthy
I'm not sure
What their status
Is with Tyler
Huntley
Again
Here's a guy
Who was
About as
Productive
As a college
Quarterback
Could be
And
He's getting
Bypassed
For
For
You know
Colin
Monacus
Taylor
Green
Yeah I know
He's got a lot
Of
Measurables
That are good
But
What was
Arkansas's
Record last year
What was
Vanderbilt's
Record last year
Yeah
I think
You're
I think
You're probably
Right but
Baltimore's
Taking a chance
And it might
Be rewarding
For them
Ohio State
Leading the
Pack
With 11
Alabama
And Texas A&M
Right behind
Them
Once again
Alabama
Continues
Its amazing
Streak
Of
First round
Clemson
Surprised me
With nine
Believe me
Clemson
Fans
Are saying
That
We had
Nine
Draft
Picks
And we
Had the
Season
We did
Indiana
Of course
Up to
Eight
LSU
At
Seven
They're
Saying
Kind of
The same
Thing
As far
As college
Teams
In the
Order
Any
Surprises
For you
In
Retrospect
You know
And we
Were scoping
A draft
Before
Brett
And you
Saw
These
Clemson
Guys
At the end
Of the
Year
They're
Like that
But they
I mean
It's
Just
Insanely
Loaded
With them
You know
Bam
Up there
As usual
With all
Their guys
LSU
Is the other
One too
And that's
One of the
Reasons
Everybody
Everybody
Down there
Is excited
To get
To get
Lane
And they're
Like look
If we got
All these
Players
We couldn't
Do it
With Brian
Kelly
Maybe we'll
Do it
With Lane
So
We'll see
You know
We'll see
What goes
There
By the way
Jerry
Bernard
Going
To the
Steelers
In the
Second round
Might turn
Out to be
A good
Pick
For
Pittsburgh
Now
The
Steelers
Have to
Find a
Quarterback
If they
Can find
A
Quarterback
To get
In the
Ball
I think
He's
Going to
Have a
Chance
To play
Soon
But
We'll
See
If
Rodgers
Or
Someone
Else
Is
Going to
Be
Thrown
On
The
Ball
Bruce
Marshall
Amongst
Other
Places
The
Gold
Sheet
The
Gold
Standard
Out
In
The
Desert
Bruce
Is
It
Safe
To
Say
Amongst
The
Lessons
We
Learned
From
The
Draft
Is
That
The
Big
Ten
Is
Top
Heavy
They
Led
The
Way
With
First
Rounders
The
SEC
Has
More
Depth
They
Have
More
Kids
Drafted
Overall
Is
That
A
Safe
observation
Yes
I
Think
So
And
I
Think
It's
An
Observation
We
Can
Make
About
The
Big
Tens
Are
Winning
These
National
Championships
Lately
And
They
Got
Three
Different
Schools
Won
In
The
Last
Three
Years
So
I
Mean
That's
A
Pretty
Good
Run
But
I
Have
Maintained
Top
To
Bottom
The
SEC
Is
A
Better
League
Because
Once
You
Get
Past
The
Mid
Level
Of
The
Big
Ten
At
Least
Last
Year
That
League
Really
Dropped
Off
The
Bottom
Was
Not
That
Good
And
In
The
SEC
You
Know
Kentucky
Had
A
Rough
Year
Last
Year
Even
Mississippi
State
Got
To
A
Bowl
Game
Last
Year
And
Florida
Should
Bounce
Back
So
Top
To
Bottom
Yeah
Depth
I
Still
Think
The
SEC
Got
The
Edge
But
Right
At
The
Top
I
Mean
Those
Marquee
Programs
Little
Edge
Made
Big
Ten
And
That
Was
Reflected
In
The
Draft
As
Well
Absolutely
Let
Let
Ask
You
About
One
Of
The
Headlines
In
Sports
This
Week
Is
Texas
Tech
Quarterback
Brendan
Sorsby
Who
Has
Entered
A
Rehab
For
Gambling
He
Made
Thousands
Of
Tiny
Wagers
As
They
Call
It
Over
A
Four
Year
Period
Including
Once
Or
Twice
Betting
On
His
Own
Team
A
Lot
Of
Speculation
That
He
May
Be
Ruled
Ineligible
By
The
NCAA
Bruce
Obviously
You
Spent
Your
Life
In
This
And
It's
Changed
So
Much
Now
With
The
Smartphones
You
Can
Make
A
Bet
Anywhere
On
Anything
Should
The
NCAA
Declare
Him
Ineligible
Bruce
What
Do
You
Think
About
This
Situation
Yeah
My
First
Thought
I
Heard
That
Is
What
Is
Cody
Campbell
Thinking
All
This
Money
They
Had
To
Throw
Out
On
So
Exactly
That
Put
That
In
Jeopardy
You
Know
It
Is
It
Is
Really
Scary
Because
My
Gut
Feel
Is
I
Have
Nothing
To
Basis
Upon
Other
Than
A
Gut
Feeling
That
Sorgery
Is
Not
The
Only
Guy
Doing
This
Too
Bloody
Easy
For
Somebody
To
Make
These
Bets
When
You've
Got
The
Mobile
Apps
The
Way
They
Are
And
It
It's
Just
Too
Easy
To
Do
It
I
Can't
Fathom
Somebody
Making
That
Many
Bets
And
Losing
But
Again
I
You know
Show
You
I
Couldn't
Believe
That
He
Made
All
Those
Bats
And
Lost
All
That
Money
A
few
Years
ago
Look
What
He
Did
But
It
Is
Scary
And
I
And
I
Almost
Think
You
Know
We'll
See
Where
You
Know
All
This
Evidence
Goes
So
I
Don't
Want
To
Jump
To
A
Conclusion
Too
Quick
But
If
It
Goes
Where
It
Looks
Like
It's
Going
The
NCAA
Is
Going
to
Suspend
Him
And
I
Don't
Know
Where
This
Stops
Because
As
Long
As
They've
Got
You
The
Mobile
Apps
And
It's
So
Easy
To
Bet
And
Some
Of
These
The
Proposition
Bets
I
Don't
Know
What
The
Answer
Is
To
That
And
I
Can't
And
There's
So
Many
Of
These
It's
Not
Really
Even
Betting
Some
Of
These
Bets
And
The
Props
Where
People
End
Up
Doing
All
These
Little
Bets
It's
Just
Like
Coin
Flipping
And
For
Some
People
It's
Dangerous
And
I
Just
Don't
I
Don't
Know
What
The
Answer
Is
Except
I
Mean
How
What
Sort
Of
Legislation
You
Can
If
You
Even
Can
Each
State
Has
Different
Rules
I
Don't
Know
It's
It's
A
Can
Of
Orange
But
I
Do
Think
I
Expect
He
Probably
Will
Be
Suspended
And
It
Should
Be
A
Warning
To
Everybody
Else
But
I
Also
Think
He's
Probably
Not
The
Only
Guy
Doing
I
Think
There's
A lot
Of
Lawyers
On
Speed
Dial
Right
Now
For
That
One
Bruce
Marshall
Checking
In
From
Vegas
Bruce
I
I'm
Looking
At
The
Counter
Here
It's
The
First
Weekend
In
May
Which
Time
Means
It's
Time
To
Horse
Around
They
Tell
Me
That
Louisville
Has
A lot
Of
Betting
Going
On
This
Weekend
For
The
Folks
Who
Want
Take
The
Big
Hoss
In
This
Race
This
Weekend
Where
Do
You
Start
Breaking
Down
The
Kentucky
Derby
I
Actually
Went
To
A
Kentucky
Derby
Once
I
Got
It
Off
My
Bucket
List
In
1994
Go
For
Gen
One
And
It
Was
And
It
Was
Rainy
At
The
Churchill
Downs
That
Day
So
I
Have
I
Have
Been
There
Once
But
You
Know
We
Will
See
If
This
If
This
Renegade
Is
Is
The
Horse
They
Think
He
Is
You
Know
Maybe
He
He's
The
One
But
Apparently
They're
Sticking
Him
With
The
Inside
Post
And
If
The
Weather
Comes
Up
Bad
That's
Not
A
Place
You
You
Want
To
Be
It's
Virtual
Downs
On
The
Rail
So
I
Don't
Know
These
20
Horse
Fields
I
Don't
Know
How
To
Hand
Most
The
Horse
Races
I
Saw
Growing
Up
Were
Seven
And
Eight
Horse
Fields
And
I
Can
Remember
A
Kentucky
Derby
With
Eight
Horses
In
It
In
1979
So
I
Don't
These
20
It's
Not
Really
A
Horse
Race
It's
Just
You
Know
It's
It's
Too
Over
The
Top
And
It's
A
Very
Hard
Race
To
Bet
That's
Why
I
Really
Don't
Ever
Get
In
Kentucky
Derby
Anymore
Because
I
Don't
How
You
Handicap
20
Horses
In
The
Field
It's
Just
Too
Odd
I
Win
In
2014
And
It
Is
Everything
They
Say
It
Is
As
As
For
The
Costumes
Dressing
Up
The
Excitement
It
Was
I
Should
Go
At
Least
One
Time
Major
League
Baseball
The
Braves
Are
Doing
exceptionally
Well
A
Couple
Of
Managers
Are
Not
Alex
Cora
With
The
Red Sox
Rob
Thompson
Fired
This
Morning
With
The
Phillies
The
Mets
Manager
Is
On
A
Banana
Peel
Your
Thoughts
On
Major
League
Baseball
So
Far
Yeah
I
Was
Not
Surprised
That
I'm
A
Little
Surprised
The
Mets
Haven't
Pulled
The
Plug
That
Would
Seem
Like
Okay
That's
The
Perfect
Time
To
Do
It
And
Maybe
They're
Still
Talking
Maybe
Alex
Cora
Is
Now
Available
Although
We're
Hearing
Now
He
Probably
Doesn't
Want
To
Manage
Anywhere
This
Year
So
I
Got
To
Feel
That
Shoes
Got
To
Drop
Here
With
The
Mets
Really
Quickly
Thompson
You
Know
Look
At
The
Phil's
Run
Differential
They
Just
Had
Not
Been
Doing
It
This
Year
Worse
In
The
League
And
I
Sort
Of
Understand
That
Interestingly
It's
Don
Mattingly's
Son
Is
The
GM
And
He
Hired
His
Dad
As
The
In
Room
Manager
So
That's
Kind of
An odd
Dynamic
But
I think
The
Phil's
Realized
Remembered
Four
Years
Ago
They
Moved
Joe
Girardi
Out
They
Weren't
Going
As
Bad
Four
Years
Go
Now
But
They
Moved
Him
Out
In
Late
May
And
Brought
Thompson
And
Ended
Up
Going
To
World
Series
So
Maybe
They're
Thinking
Lighting
Strikes
Twice
Again

Tom
Welcome

Welcome
Back
How
Are
You
Oh
I'm
Doing
Great
I'm
I am
Back
In
Chicago
Finally
Too
Been
A
Long
Drive
I
Took
A
10,200
Mile
Drive
I got
Back
A few
Days
Ago
And
It
Was
Great
Because
I
Was
Able
To
See
A
Lot
Of
History
Mike
Leach
Had
Told
Me
About
Those
Marvel
Lights
Down
In
The
Bottom
Part
Of
Texas
And
I
Went
And
Saw
Them
A
Couple
Weeks
Ago
And
It
Supposed
To
Be
UFO
Lights
Or
Nobody
Can
But
Years
Ago
Leach
Had
Told
Me
You
Got
To
Go
Down
There
So
I
Finally
Made
It
Down
There
And
They
Filmed
The
Movie
Giant
With
Elizabeth
Taylor
Rock Hudson
And
James
Dean
Right
In
That
800
Person
Town
So
It
Was
A
Unique
Experience
So
Saw
A lot
Of
History
And
A lot
Of
Football
Players
Along
The
Way
Tell
Me
You
Need
To
Write
A
Book
Forget
Recruiting
I
Mean
Life
Is
All
About
Stacking
Experiences
And
Getting
Out
Living
It
As
Opposed
To
Existing
And
You
By
Virtue
Of
Traveling
All
These
Places
Met
A lot
Of
People
But
Also
A lot
Of
Places
Obviously
It
Never
Ends
It's
Always
A new
Chapter
Tom
It's
A new
Era
But
You
Know
Where
We
Are
So
Let's
Just
Ask
You
What's
Your
Take
On
One
Elijah
Haven
The
Five
Star
From
Baton
Rouge
On
His
Way
To
Tuscalo
I
Went
Coach
And
What
A great
Kid
To
The
Thing
That
Hits
You
With
Quarterbacks
Sometimes
They
Seem
To
Be
More
Intelligent
Than
Everybody
Else
Football
Player
Wise
Elijah
Was
Like
That
He
Seemed
Very
Mature
Like
18
Going
On
30
At
That
Time
16
Going
On
30
But
He
Was
Tall
And
The
Coach
Put
On
Some
Film
And
The
Guy
Could
He
Was
Very
Athletic
For
Skinny
Kid
At
The
Time
So
Let
Me
Ask
You
The
Obvious
Question
To
That
If
You
Will
Relative
To
Alabama
How
Many
Schools
Have
Three
Five
Stars
And
Then
Other
Four
Stars
Mere
Four
Stars
Your
Thoughts
Where
Do
You
Start
Breaking
Down
The
Respected
Talents
And
The
Pluses
And
The
Minuses
Of
The
Mala
And
You
Got
Russell
Now
You
Got
Havens
Coming
In
That
Not
Even
Mentioned
Trent
Seaborn
Is
Player
Of
The
Year
In
Alabama
He
Has
A
Trophy
Case
Full
Of
State
Championships
There
At
Thompson
So
How
Do
You
Analyze
Alabama's
Quarterback
Room
Yeah
I
Stopped
By
To
See
Sober
The
Coach
Brought
Out
Like
Nine
Players
He
Thought
Were
All
Americans
From
Thompson
And
You
Know
It's
The
Number
One
Program
In
Alabama
Really
When
It
Comes
To
Talent
And
Everything
So
They
Better
Win
This
Year
With
All
Those
Great
Five
Star
Quarterbacks
Right
In
The
National
Title
Hunt
I
Remember
A few
Years
Ago
When
I
Did
Your
Show
And
They
Were
Ranked
65th
In
Recruiting
In
The
Summer
Alabama
Fans
Wanted
Nick
Saban
Fired
They
Wound
Up
Number
One
By
The
End
Of
The
They
Wound
Up
Number
One
By
The
End
Of
The
Year
And
Then
All
Of
Of
One
We'll
Give
Another
Year
They're
Very
Spoiled
At
Alabama
So
Hopefully
Guys
Like
This
Elijah
Another
High
School
Year
So
But
Hopefully
With
All
The
Talent
They
Have
A
Quarterback
And
Alabama
Has
Got
A lot
And
I
Big
Coach
He
Just
Came
After
Nick
Saban
The
Best
Coach
Probably
In
The
History
Of
College
Football
And
It's
Tough
To
Follow
That
Kind
Of
An
Act
Let
Me
Ask
You
About
Two
Receivers
Who
Alabama
Fans
Would
Like
For
Elijah
Haven
To
Throw
To
One
Of
Monsoon
Bama
Sales
Yes
That's
His
Nickname
Five
Star
Wide
Receiver
From
Lawrence
North
In
Indianapolis
And
Xavier
Salb
Yeah
One
Of
The
Three
Salb
Brothers
Keon
Is
Currently
On
The
Team
The
Middle
Brother
Amari
Is
Committed
Alabama
And
Five
Star
Receiver
From
Glassboro
High
School
In
New
Jersey
Xavier
Salb
What
A
Family
Tom
Tell us
A little
More
About
Sales
In
Indianapolis
And
Xavier
Salb
In
New
Jersey
Well
Monsoon
Looks
Like
An
NFL
All
Pro
Already
He's
Got
Great
Build
On
Stats
Wise
He's
Not
There
Yet
He
Is
Five
Star
Definitely
On
Potential
But
I
Think
His
Production
Could
Be
Better
And
He
Is
Such
A
Good
Athlete
But
He's
The
Guy
Could
Just
Explode
You
Know
I
Think
Sales
Had
That
Kind
Of
Potential
But
He's
Not
There
Yet
When
Watching
Him
He
Could
Really
Develop
Into
A
Great
One
Xavier
Could
Be
An
All
American
His
Dad
Brought
Him
And
His
Older
Brother
To
Meet
Me
A
couple
Years
At
Penn
State
I'm
Actually
Going
To
Glassboro
At
The
End
Of
May
So
I'll
Be
Seeing
Him
Again
But
He
Can
Be
An
All
American
Safety
And
Wide
Receiver
He
Can't
Just
Pigeon
Hold
Him
To
One
Spot
He
Is
The
Premier
Player
In
New
Jersey
And
A
Great
Ball
Player
Both
Of
Them
Are
Five
Stars
And
Both
Of
Them
Could
Be
Great
Players
Although
Again
I
Started
The
Five
Star
System
Back
In
92
And
It's
Pretty
Bogus
Mine
And
Everyone
Else
A lot
Of
The
Other
One
Based
On
How
Many
Offers
You
Have
And
Everything
Else
Sab
Is
A
Great
Athlete
And
Has
Great
Stats
I
Think
Munchen
Munchen
Should
Have
Better
Stats
Than
What
He
Has
But
I
Think
Talking
To
His
Coach
And
Everything
He
Thinks
That
This
Is
Going
To
His
To
Really
Shine
As
A
Senior
And
That
Right
There
Time
Is
The
Difference
You
Talk
To
People
Who
Know
The
Finish
Up
The
18th
Hole
A
Lot
Of
Folks
And
I
Think
You
Got
To
17
And
Stay
Perpetually
On
18
According
To
The
Jokes
Down
There
But
A
Lot
Of
Questions
Coming
In
About
Alex
Scullers
Has
He
Going
To
Do
Well
His
Let
Pick
Up
A
Four
Star
Running
Back
Myson
Johnson
We
Been
Joking
About
This
Too
Tom
You
Got
To
Have
A
Hyphen
In
Your
Name
It's
Myson
Johnson
Hyphen
Cook
How
Good
Is
He
From
Illinois
So
He's
Got
To
Be
Good
He's
A
Great
Running
Back
He
Was
In
DeSoto
Texas
When
I
First
Saw
Him
And
The
Coach
There
Is
A
Good
Friend
Of
Mine
And
He
Brought
Up
Myson
As
A
Freshman
And
Then
The
Last
Two
Years
He's
Been
In
Illinois
But
He
Is
I
Think
A
Five
Star
Back
Who
Could
Become
An
Immediate
Impact
Ball
Player
Kind
Of
Reminds
You
Of
The
Kid
At
Notre
Dame
Jeremiah
Love
He's
Got
That
Kind
Of
Great
Instinct
Maybe
Not
Quite
As
Fast
Jeremiah
Was
Like
A
10
700
Meter
Kid
But
He's
Got
All
The
Other
Tools
When
He
Was
In
DeSoto
He
Had
Earned
All
City
Mention
As
A
Freshman
And
That's
One
Of
Great
Areas
Of
The
Metroplex
Down
In
Dallas
Fort Worth
So
He's
A
Great
Back
Auburn
Has
Got
Themselves
Now
The
Key
Is
To
Hang
On
To
Now
At
NIL
You
Never
Know
Which
Guy
Is
Going
To
Sign
With
You
Come
December
But
He's
A
Big
Time
Ball
Player
And
Their
Coaching
I
Knew
Their
Head
Coach
As
A
Recruiting
Coordinator
Here
And
He
Was
Always
involved
Recruiting
Was
Very
Big
To
Him
And
You're
Right
When
You
Freeze
Talked
About
Golf
Remember
I
Think
I
Told
You
Years
Ago
Rick
Neweisel
Was
My
Co-host
At
CBS
He's
Still
There
And
I
Was
Teasing
Him
I
Said
In
A
Commercial
Break
Show
Me
A
Coach
That's
A
Polific
Golfer
And
I'll
Show
You
A
Lousy
Recruiter
Our
Next
guest
On
The
Was
Steve
Spurrier
The
And
He
Goes
Those
Guys
Brian
Kelly
That
Was
Brian
Kelly
Was
Always
A
Good
Coach
But
He
Loved
Golf
And
Recruiting
Wasn't
As
Important
To
Him
As
It
Should
Have
Been
And
I
Think
That's
One
Of
The
Big
Reasons
Why
He
Got
Fired
Recruiting
Now
Like
Nick
Saban
And
Ervin
Meyer
And
Pete
Carroll
Recruiting
Has
To
Be
Your
Hobby
Not
Golf
And
If
It
Is
You're
Going
To
Do
Okay
If
You
Know
How
To
Coach
What
Was
They
Said
About
Spurrier
He
Basically
A
Kid
Showed
Up
For
A
Saturday
Visit
And
He
Missed
It
Because
He
Forgot
About
The
Kid
Coming
On
Campus
But
While
We're
Talking
About
Auburn
Your
Thoughts
I
Know
He's
Already
There
But
You
Still
Have
Memories
How
Successful
Is
Brown
Going
At
Auburn
Pulling
The
Trigger
For
Auburn
In
This
System
I
Think
You'll
Be
Great
I
Think
Auburn
Fans
Should
Be
Real
Excited
Now
Because
They
Got
The
Recruiting
Staff
In
Place
That
They
Need
Auburn
Always
Had
The
Money
It's
Just
A
Matter
Of
You
Need
Coaches
That
Go
Out
It
Always
To
Me
Have
Been
Perseverance
And
Personality
That
Was
Always
What
Happened
Now
You
Got
Going
To
Take
Another
Year
To
Get
Them
Back
Into
The
Elite
Group
Of
15
And
I
Think
That
This
Staff
Is
The
Staff
That
Can
Do
That
Just
Because
You
Got
The
School
Already
With
A
Lot
Of
History
You
Just
Need
Guys
That
Knew
What
They
Were
Doing
And
Recruiting
And
Coaching
I
Was
Amaged
Following
The
Draft
And
There
Would
Be
A
Player
Selected
And
About
15
Minutes
Later
You
Would
Have
A
Picture
Of
That
Player
When
He
Was
In
High
School
Where
You
Had
Gone
By
And
Visited
With
This
Coach
Or
There
Was
A
Particular
Place
I
Know
You've
Done
That
Before
And
He
And
A
Group
Came
With
Him
And
It
Was
Just
One
After
Another
Harold
Perkins
Jeremy
Bernard
You
Traveled
To
Las
Vegas
To
See
Him
Seven
Years
Ago
Kendrick
Law
Clay
Club
Nick
It
Looks
Like
He's
Gained
30
Pounds
Since
That
Picture
Carson
Beck
When
You're
At
Jacksonville
Mandarin
High
School
I
Was
Just
Absolutely
Amaged
At
Some
Of
The
Pictures
Of
These
NFL
Draft
E's
Over
The
Weekend
They
Pop
On
The
Screen
And
You'd
Have
A
Picture
Of
Him
In
High
School
15
Minutes
Later
You know
What's
Funny
Is
I
Seen
Almost
The
Entire
First
Round
In
Person
Except
The
Number
One
Pick
And
It
Was
Ironic
I
Usually
Have
The
Kids
Meet
At
Columbus
High
School
In
Miami
Where
He's
From
So
I'm
Thinking
The
Coach
Didn't
Bring
Him
Out
His
Own
Coach
Thought
So
Little
Of
Him
He
Didn't
Bring
Them
Out
Because
I always
Had
Every
Coach
When I
Get
The
Guys
Together
Give
Me
Your
Power
Four
Type
Guy
Back
Then
It
First
Round
And
Then
I
Started
Losing
Interest
And
I
Went
About
My
Business
But
Then
People
Were
Calling
Me
Up
And
Saying
Hey
How come
You're
Not
Doing
So
Then
I
Got
Back
Watching
It
Because
I
Got
The
Draft
Could
Be
Pretty
Boring
At
Least
To
Me
And
Then
I
Got
Back
And
Started
Doing
It
Again
For
A
While
Until
I
Got
Until
Again
I
Got
Wanted
To
Leave
And
It
It
Is
A
Long
Three
Days
I
Don't
Know
I
Know
Mel
Kuiper
Is
A
Real
Good
Guy
And
I
Don't
Know
Of
Of
Of
That's
All
He
Does
Now
He
Has
Another
Job
He
Just
Waits
One
Three
Days
Out
Of
The
Year
And
Then
And He
Goes
Back
Into
Hiding
In
Baltimore

Man
Joe
Welcome
In
How
Are
You
Well
Gentlemen
I
Am
Recovering
My
Brother
In
Law
Kindly
Donated
His
Car
To
My
Daughter's
Driving
Education
But
They
Live
In
Maine
So
We
Met
Halfway
So
I
Spent
The
Week
Driving
To
And
From
Harrisburg
Pennsylvania
So
I'm
Still
Getting
My
Legs
Back
Under
Me
But
All
Went
Well
And
The
Car
My
Daughter's
Happy
So
Well
Good
After
And
Then
They'll
Send
You
The
Rest
Of
The
Bill
Later
On
But
Joe
Let's
Talk
Speaking
Of
The
Time
Of
The
Year
And
That's
Got
To
Be
One
Of
Those
Moments
When
You
See
Your
Kid
Out
There
Driving
Especially
Your
Daughter's
Like
Oh
My
Gosh
Where's
Time
Going
Pretty
Much
The
Same
With
ACC
Baseball
Season
The
Regular
Season
In
The
Light
The
End
Of
Tunnel
Is
Here
And
So
Far
Georgia
Is
Still
The
Lead
Big
Dog
In
The
SEC
Your
Thoughts
About
Georgia
And
Is
Kirby
Smart
Now
Coaching
Georgia
Baseball
Too
Well
You know
The way
They
Put up
Points
I don't
Know
We
Probably
Better
Pick
An
Offensive
Guru
And
Not
A
Defensive
Guru
To
Tie
In
With
Baseball
For
The
Dogs
120
Home
Runs
On
The
Season
It's
Just
Insane
You know
It's
Been
Struggle
To
Differentiate
Who
Really
Goes
At
The
Top
Of
The
League
But
I
Think
The
Best
Thing
You
Got
To
Say
For
Georgia
Is
They've
Been
There
The
Whole
Time
You know
There
Are
Some
Things
To
Wonder
About
The
Hitting
Can
Kind
Come
Ago
At
Times
The
Pitching
Will
Be
The
Big
Issue
But
You
Know
When
You
Hit
The
Ball
Out
Of
The
Ballpark
You
Tend
To
Go
Home
Happy
At
The
End
Of
The
Day
And
They've
Been
Happy
A lot
Joe
One
Of
The
Triple
Crown
Candidates
For
SEC
Baseball
Is
A
Transfer
From
Wofford
Daniel
Jackson
Batting
380
21
Home
Run
62
RBIs
I'll
Ask
You
About
What
You
Think
Is
The
Picture
Of
The
Year
But
He's
Pretty
Good
Candidate
Right
Now
For
The
MVP
Of
The
Season
Yeah
I
Mean
You
Feel
Like
Those
Georgia
Guys
All
Stand
Out
And
Trey
Phelps
Has
Had
A
Good
Year
For
Them
Too
But
Jackson
Really
Yeah
I'm
It's
Hard
To
Turn
Down
A
Guy
Who
As
You
Know
He's
Up
There
In
RBI
He's
Up
There
In
Homers
And
He's
Right
There
It
Might
Be
The
Auburn
Fella
Eric
Guevara
Knocked
him
Out
Of
The
Triple
Crown
Because
He's
Right
There
South
You
Mentioned
Auburn
And
To
Me
They
Personify
Baseball
It's
A
Marathon
You're
Going
To
Have
Your
Ups
You're
Going
To
Down
Doesn't
Matter
If
It's
College
MLB
Whatever
Your
Thoughts
About
Auburn
They've
Had
Their
Downs
But
Right
Now
Last
Numbers
I've
Got
In
12
And
9
30
And
13
Overall
And
In
A
Pretty
Good
Position
At
This
Point
Yeah
They
Really
Are
They're
In
A
Pretty
Good
Position
To
You
Feel
Like
They're
Just
About
Certain
To
Have
A
Regional
Hosting
Nod
And
You
Want
That
Second
Advantage
You
Want
To
Have
The
Potential
Super
Regional
Host
So
They're
In
Position
For
That
I
Mean
They've
Still
Got
Some
Work
To
Do
But
You
Really
Like
Where
They're
At
Right
Now
Had
A
Really
Nice
Weekend
With
Oklahoma
Hit
The
Ball
Really
They're
Relying
On
Some
Younger
Guys
And
Some
New
Faces
But
It's
All
Coming
Together
Pretty
Well
Joe
Alabama
Lost
Two
Out of
Three
To
Tennessee
They
Won
The
First
Game
And
Then
Basically
They
May
Be
The
Worst
Team
In
The
League
Defensively
They
Had
Three
Errors
In
One
Game
And
More
Errors
In
Another
One
10
11
29
And
16
They
Host
Vandy
This
Weekend
They're
Starting
Pitching
Is
Tyler
Faye
Adams
They've
Got
Good
Starting
Pitching
And
We
All
Talk
About
Pitching
And
Hitting
But
Joe
In
Alabama's
Case
Defense
Has
Really
Let
Them
Down
You're
Absolutely
Right
I mean
The
Most
Errors
In
The
League
And
It's
Not
Even
Terribly
Close
And
It's
Interesting
The
Other
Teams
That
Are
Down
There
With
Them
Are
The
Other
Teams
That
Are
Really
Struggling
Right
Now
You
Don't
Want
To
Be
In
That
Group
Basically
You
Know
The
Thing
About
It
Is
Pitching
We
All
Understand
How
Rare
It
Is
But
Boy
If
You
Feel
The
Ball
Well
You
Just
Make
Their
Job
So
Much
That's
Right
And
There
Is
No
Substitute
For
Taking
Care
Of
Those
Three
Outs
If
You
Make
That
Pitch
Turn

In
Of
A
Guy
I
Grew
Up
Watching
A lot
With
The
Toronto
Blue
Jays
Dave
Steve
And
He
Would
Stare
Guys
Down
If
They
Made
An
Error
Behind
Him
And
If
I
Was
One
Of
These
Pitchers
For
Alabama
I
Might
Be
Staring
Some
Guys
Down
Right
Now
You
Know
An
Error
And
Walk
That's
Deadly
Even
Though
Silent
Killers
But
They
Are
Any
Baseball
Team
Let's
Talk
About
You
Mentioned
LSU
What
In
The
World
Too
Many
Crawfish
Too
Much
Over
On
In
The
French
Quarter
What's
Going
On
With
LSU
And
The
Other
Right
There
With
South
Carolina
If
You've
Been
Following
SEC
Baseball
Over
The
Years
LSU
And
South
Carolina
They
Were
Almost
Staples
You
Almost
Pencil
Man
In
Preseason
They
Are
Going
Contending
And
Not
So
Much
Now
That
Basically
Sitting
There
With
Missouri
Living
In
The
Cellar
Yeah
South
Carolina
It's
Really
Been
At
The
Plate
They're
Last
In
The
League
In
Batting
Average
So
I
Think
That's
Where
A lot
Of
Their
Issues
Come
From
And
They
Don't
Steal
Any
Bases
They're
Last
In
The
Stolen
Bases
So
If
You
Don't
Hit
Very
Well
And
You
Don't
You
Runs
You're
Not
Going
To
Score
A lot
Of
Runs
LSU
Has
Underachieved
Some
On
That
Side
But
It's
Really
Been
The
Pitching
For
Them
They're
Last
In
The
League
In
ERA
So
Again
It's
One
Of
Those
Things
Where
The
Teams
That
Don't
Beat
Themselves
Tend
To
Rise
To
The
Top
Of
The
Pile
And
LSU
Right
There
Not
Only
The
Bad
ERA
But
They
Give
Up
That's
Two
Teams
That
Have
Struggled
To
Put
Anything
Together
This
Year
Joe
Pitcher
Of
The
Year
We're
Getting
Down
To
The
Triple
Crown
The

Kate Townsend

Aiden

1.78
Jake

Dylan Volantis
I believe
At

2.06
ERA
Who's
The
Pitcher
Of
The
Year
At
The
SEC
Yeah
I'm
Going
With
The
Guy
You
Said
Last
I
Like
Volantis
Down
There
At
Texas
I
Mean
You
Noted
No
Losses
That
206
ERA
Got
Him
At
Third
In
The
League
But
He
Also
Has
80
Strikeouts
In
56
And
Two
Thirds
Innings
So
There's
Something
To be
Said
For
Being
A
Guy
Who
Misses
Other
People's
Bats
Again
As
Alabama
If
You're
One
Of
Those
Guys
Who's
Making
All
Those
Errors
You say
Well
Just
Miss
The
Bat
A
Little
Bit
More
And
We'll
Be
Fine
So
Volantis
Does
A
Good
Job
Of
Not
Putting
Too
Much
On
His
Team
Behind
Him
And
I
Think
That's
One
Guy
Who
If
I
Had
To
Circle
Down
The
Stretch
I
Think
We're
Going
To
See
More
From
Him
On
The
Post
Season

Well
Yeah
They
Really
Are
They
Have
Pulled
Together
Down
The
Stretch
And
Put
A
Nice
Run
Together
And
You
Know
The
Thing
That
Stands
Out
To
Me
You're
Talking
About
A
Team
That
They
Had
Some
Tough
Schedule
Moments
Early
But
Then
They
Got
A
Nice
Run
They
Got
To
Play
Mizzou
They
Got
To
Play
Vandy
Which
Most
Years
Isn't
A
Good
Thing
But
This
Year
Is
Not
Really
Anything
Particularly
Tough
They
Got
LSU
And
They
Swept
Them
So
You
Know
They
They've
Done
A
Nice
Job
Of
Backing
Into
Some
Weaker
Opponents
At
Good
Times
But
At
The
Same
Time
They've
Obviously
Taken
Advantage
Of
Their
Breaks
And
Looking
Down
The
Stretch
Their
Series
Coming
Up
Here
With
Auburn
Is
Probably
As
Tough
As
Anything
They've
Got
Ahead
So
That
Will
Be
A
Good
Tune

For
Both
Of

I

You're

Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.
Welcome back here.
Time to say hello to Caleb Jones.
He is all over recruiting when he comes to the Auburn Tigers.
They're at auburnsports.com.
Caleb, welcome in.
How are you?
How's it going, guys?
Good, man.
We're doing all right.
Caleb, we had the pleasure of talking.
One of the best in the biz when it comes to recruiting Tom Lemming from CBS earlier.
And we asked him about Auburn's latest pickup at the running back spot.
And he was just beaming.
He says not only is he good, he comes from a neck of the woods where the talent overall is good.
And when you can stand out amongst good relative competition, that just adds to it.
Caleb, your thoughts about Auburn's latest pickup from the greater St. Louis area at the running back spot.
Yeah, Meis and Johnson Cook, that's a massive pickup for Auburn.
I mean, Auburn's looking to get a really talented running back this class, and they got one.
We have him as, I think, the number four overall running back in the country.
I believe when the original ranking of his class came out, he was actually the top running back.
So he's dropped down number four here.
But it's a big win for Auburn, getting him in the class over Miami.
He's a big dude.
He's about 6'2", 220.
So, I mean, this is a guy that can just, you know, power his way through some folks.
And so it's a good pickup for Auburn.
You know, they're losing Jeremiah Cobb after this season.
So they're going to need some guys to come in and have a chance to step up next year.
Kev, talk to us not only about the pickup, but the fact that it's in the greater St. Louis area.
Because a lot of Auburn fans were almost to the point of being jaded.
When is this program as a whole going to be picking it up?
Overall, you did a decent job recruiting.
He just couldn't stay off the golf course long enough to develop her, so it seemed anyway.
But your thoughts, I mean, this is not exactly, you don't think of Auburn and greater St. Louis area in the same breath, usually.
Your thoughts about the connection there?
I think one thing that this staff has done is, you know, they're prioritizing a lot of guys that are close by.
But they're also prioritizing elite talent is kind of what, you know, Alex Dolish kind of targets, right?
So they talked about a lot.
So, I mean, especially with, you know, Mike and Justin Cook, he is an elite talent.
And so, like, Auburn's not afraid to go and recruit, you know, guys that are maybe outside of that 250-mile range.
And I know that Dolish, you know, they want to hammer that range, those guys, that local, close-by talent.
But they're also really open to going out and getting the best guys they can.
You know, whether that's, you know, Mike and Justin Cook from that East St. Louis area or, you know,
they've been going after Will Menzel, who just recently committed to Oregon.
But, you know, he's out in Arizona, you know.
So, I mean, they're very – they're going to go out and get the guys that they view as guys that can help them.
You know, it doesn't matter where they are in the country.
The staff is really aggressive in their recruiting, both local guys, guys that are close by, but guys that maybe aren't so close by.
And I think throughout the spring, one thing I was really impressed with was just how many guys that they got on campus that, you know, weren't from around the area.
You know, guys from, you know, North Carolina, Illinois, Missouri.
I mean, you had a lot of guys that made a long trip to go see Auburn practice.
And I think a lot of it is just because of the relationship that the staff has built with those guys.
Caleb, one thing that helps is when you tell a player and his family you can get them to the NFL,
Auburn was able to break that first-round hex.
Keldrick Falk goes to the Titans.
Keron Crawford in the third round to the Raiders.
Connor Liu to the Bengals in the fourth round.
And I really wonder if he had not have been injured, if that had been the second or third round.
Jeremiah Wright with his versatility to play various positions.
Fourth round to the Saints and Bobby Jamison Travis to the Giants.
I know they want to improve on five, but I thought it was a solid draw for Auburn.
Yeah, I mean, for a team that hasn't had a winning season in probably five seasons,
a team that won only five games last year, that's a really solid draft for Auburn.
I think it kind of went as expected.
I think you kind of had an idea as to who was going to get drafted going into the NFL draft.
You kind of had a feeling like Keldrick Falk was going to be a first-rounder.
And then as that first round kind of went on, it kind of turned into the, oh, my goodness,
is he actually, is he going to flip to the second round?
But, you know, the Titans, that was the guy that they really want.
You know, they felt like Keldrick fit their defense.
And, you know, especially with Robert Sala over there, kind of what he does.
And so, you know, they traded up to go get Keldrick in the first round.
And then, you know, Keron Crawford in the third round, you can't say enough about, you know,
just his work ethic.
This is a guy that was at Arkansas State several seasons ago before Auburn, went from Arkansas State
to Auburn, sat a little bit behind, you know, Jalen McLeod.
And then this past season, you saw, like, when it was his turn, he came in and he played
with, he played outstanding every, every snap, every down.
And this is something that, you know, you're not going to find a guy that works a lot harder
than Keron Crawford.
So, very well-deserved.
Conor Liu going in the fourth round, a bit surprising.
I thought he would go in the third.
I thought he would go in on the second day.
I think you're kind of right there.
I think any time you're coming back from an ACL injury, it does kind of raise a couple
of questions.
But, I mean, that's a fantastic pickup for the Bengals.
You know, I think, I believe Ted Harris is their center right now.
So, Conor is going to be able to go in and learn.
I think he'll have an opportunity to compete for a starting job.
Maybe not this upcoming season, but, you know, potentially next season.
Jeremiah Wright, another guy that, you know, just great dude all around.
Really good football player, versatile, so he can fit into the Saints.
And, you know, he's got a real shot to thank the team and contribute there.
And then, you know, Bobby Jamison Travis going fifth round.
He's a big guy up front.
He can really give you some size up there.
You know, of course, the Giants just lost some size up front.
This is straight to the Bengals with Dexter Lawrence going over there.
But, yeah, fantastic draft for Auburn.
Five players drafted.
I think that's the most drafted in a class since Auburn had.
They had six go in 2020.
Thing is, these guys, too, after all they've been through with all the coaching changes over the years,
they've got to be tough cookies as well.
Caleb Jones hooking up with us, AuburnSports.com.
Speaking of later, earlier about recruiting, Caleb, you know how this game is played.
Folks say, okay, we've got a four-star, we being Auburn, in this case, fans.
Your thoughts, where do they go now?
We know that the season's about to get rocking and rolling.
May and June, usually rich.
Your thoughts about maybe some of the names that may be coming to Auburn.
And if not names, in your opinion, what position would you like to see Auburn kind of focus in on especially?
Well, they've got a lot of – they've only got three guys in the class right now.
They've got – I think they've got the tight end, defensive line, and then obviously a running back now.
But – so they're going to have a lot of guys kind of coming in here for the – for official visits here,
if I'm pulling up some lists here.
Yeah, George Lons, by the way, the tight end, that's a fantastic pickup as well.
But you're going – they're going to have all kinds of guys.
I mean, you both – you can go anywhere.
I don't think you can go wrong with any position here.
Just because you've only got three guys in the class,
you're really in contention with a lot of guys that are going to be coming in over the next couple of months
for official visits, you just – you have a lot of guys coming in.
So that's going to be a big thing for Auburn.
They're hitting the road, the coaching staff is, to go out, to go recruit these guys,
to really, you know, establish those relationships.
So I think Auburn's positioned itself well kind of heading into the official visit season.
And like I said earlier, I don't think you can go wrong with any position here.
Let me ask you about a couple of guys.
Carlos May, defensive lineman from Ramsey in Birmingham, monster at 6'2", 3'30".
Boy, any team would like to have him on their defensive front.
Of course, Auburn's not the only one going after him.
And then Marquise Evans from Spain Park, an edge, a 6'5".
Kid is good.
Nash Johnson, who was an Alabama commitment out of Atlanta, Georgia, a cornerback.
And we can mention 20 more.
But in particularly, your thoughts on Carlos May, edge, Marquise Evans from Spain Park,
and Nash Johnson out of the Atlanta area.
Yeah, I mean, Auburn's been after all those guys, you know, pretty hard there.
Especially, you know, Carlos May, he's got, he's friends with Donovan Moore, who's a defensive line commit.
I mean, he's got an extra recruiting there outside of, you know, Vontrell, King Williams.
Auburn's going after him.
I mean, and then who's the other guy you mentioned?
Nash Johnson.
Yeah.
They're back out of Atlanta there.
Former, former Alabama commit, like you said.
Somebody that's been to Auburn, you know, multiple times, really likes what, you know, DVD is doing.
But yeah, so.
And those guys, those guys are set, they've got their official visits locked in, too.
So those are going to be, those are going to be crucial weekends for Auburn to kind of separate themselves.
As far as coming out of the spring, I've read a lot of reports about, of course, again, everybody's got questions.
But as far as positions, is linebacker the best position on this team?
Xavier Rankins, we know what he can do.
Elijah Melendez, Bryce Dees, who I've heard several people say.
Brian Matthews said he may be the best linebacker of the bunch.
Toodle, et cetera.
In your opinion, is linebacker maybe Auburn's best position?
Yes, I think it is.
I mean, you just look at the guys that you have in the room.
The two guys that are going to start for Auburn with Xavier Rankins and Elijah Melendez.
I mean, those are two really good linebackers.
Not even at the SEC level, but, you know, nationally, like, those guys can absolutely play.
And then you look at who's behind them.
You know, Bryce Dees, whenever, you know, DeMarcus Riddick comes back healthy.
You've got, you know, Starius Toodle.
And then you've got a couple of transfers that are just, you know, they've been really competitive throughout spring.
So, I mean, when you look at it, I don't think it's hard to look at that roster and look at the talent and say, no, the linebacker room is really, you know, one of the top rooms.
So, I think the only position that may compete with that is safety.
I mean, Auburn's safety is absolutely loaded with experience and really good players.
New Boyd Fagan, Eric Winters.
I mean, you, Champ Anthony is coming back.
So, I mean, Auburn's linebacker room, I think, is the best.
I think safety is probably the second runner up there.
Speaking of the defensive backfield, some interesting news.
Correct us if we're wrong on this, Caleb.
We understand that one of Auburn's top transfers from the most recent cycle is no longer with a team.
defensive back, Jack Luttrell, who came over from Arizona, originally signed with Tennessee, had a pretty good run at Arizona, but then had a shoulder injury last year, has decided to medically retire from football.
Yeah, this is something that, I mean, throughout spring, he was, you know, limited just because of that injury.
So, yeah, the medical, just deciding to medically retire.
I don't know any other details other than that.
So, Caleb, basketball, Stephen Pearl did a really good job, first of all, of getting a lot of the core group to come back.
He's added a lot of size.
That was one of the things he really wanted to do was to get bigger in the post, and boy, did he ever do that.
How many more will he bring in?
As far as the number goes, I couldn't give you that.
Our basketball transfer expert, that's going to be Justin Hokanson.
He's an absolute animal when it comes to knowing all that kind of stuff.
But like you said, I will say, one thing Auburn lacked last season was size.
It was a big problem for Auburn.
And, boy, did Stephen Pearl go in and stack that in the transfer portal.
What that shows me is that that's a coach that recognizes, you know, what the team needs, what the program needs.
And that's the first priority for Stephen Pearl was going and getting a couple of big guys, and then from there going and finding some sharpshooting guys that can really elevate your offense.
Absolutely.
Listen, I always enjoy the conversation with you.
Recruiting about to really get hot and heavy.
A lot of the official visits coming up late May and also June.
You will be following Brian Matthews and all your team.
Caleb, where can we get online and get all your good stuff?
Yeah, we've got a fantastic team over at AuburnSports.com that will have you covered with everything coming up here.
I mean, whether it's official visits for football recruiting, basketball transfer portal wrapping up, baseball is having a great season.
They're going to be played, you know, probably host a regional.
So, Brian Matthews does a fantastic job of covering Auburn baseball, Auburn softball, wrapping up their season, SEC tournament coming up.
So, I mean, anything that you need, anything that you want to check out as far as when it comes to Auburn athletics, Auburn sports coverage, you need to check out AuburnSports.com.
We've got it all covered there.
We've got just two of the greatest message boards on the Internet, just a really good community.

Okay, listen, man, thanks for your time today and have a great week, okay?
Thanks, Doug.
Thank you, bud.
Caleb Jones, AuburnSports.com.
BB, we would be remiss if we didn't sit here and mourn the passing of truly a radio legend, a colleague of ours down in the Cullman area.
I've known Johnny, or knew Johnny Thrasher a long time.
He used to be on his own nickel.
He would call, especially when the regionals came down to Hanceville there to Wallace State.
We knew exactly what was going on.
And he truly was, from the heart, a radio legend.
Johnny Thrasher, Johnny Thorne, I should say, living in the Cullman area.
Yeah, he passed away last weekend, Harold.
If you ever visited the regionals in Hanceville, which you and I both have quite often, you ran into Johnny.
He would do play-by-play.
He was the Wallace State, SID, I believe, for years.
But everybody knew him and passed away suddenly over the weekend.
I've seen a lot of great testimonies about him, about his friendship.
Jeff Spiegel of 3340 in Birmingham did a very nice clip on him and said, Johnny said, I never worked a day in my life.
That's right.
A lot of people would like to be able to say that.
But, Johnny, the Flash Thornton.
Yeah.
Going to greater heights in heaven.
I think he was a Christian, too.
Talked about that occasionally.
But you're right, Harold.
He was an absolute icon in Cullman.
Jeff Spiegel, by the way, also with roots to Cullman.
Yeah.
