Andy & Ari On3

Yes, Caleb Williams was always that good. But he wasn’t the top-ranked quarterback in the recruiting class of 2021. (That guy is still in college.) Meanwhile, J.J. McCarthy was as polarizing a college recruit as he is a potential NFL draft pick.(0:00-3:50) Introduction - NFL Draft(3:51-7:52) Charles Power and Cody Bellaire Join, Covid's Impact(7:53-13:29) Caleb Williams, USC(13:30-17:35) Drake Maye, UNC(17:36-19:28) Quinn Ewers Discussion(19:29-24:36) JJ McCarthy, Michigan(24:37-26:49) Jayden Daniels, LSU(26:50-29:25) Overall QB's(29:26-31:31) Jayden Daniels and Innovation in Technology(31:32-34:51) Favorite Prospect - Brock Bowers, Georgia(34:52-36:05) Jonathon Brooks, Texas(36:06-40:36) Can't Miss Recruits: Byron Murphy, Texas(40:37-43:35) Offensive Line Class: Joe Alt, Notre Dame(43:36-46:23) Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma(46:24-49:06) Gary Patterson at TCU(49:07-53:22) Guys Not in the Draft (53:23-56:59) Significance of Age(57:00-1:01:00) Guys Not in the Draft, Re-Visited(1:01:01-1:02:05) ConclusionOn3 director of ranking Charles Power and national scout Cody Bellaire join Andy to share stories about the players who will be drafted beginning this Thursday when they were high schoolers trying to choose where they would play their college ball.Cody, who used to work in the personnel department at LSU, offers a plausible alternate history where Williams winds up in Baton Rouge playing for Ed Orgeron. Charles discusses how low-key Jayden Daniels' recruitment to Arizona State was. Charles also explains how the Joe Alt who came out of high school in Minnesota was not nearly as easy to project as the version of Alt who is leaving Notre Dame and heading to anchor some NFL team’s offensive line for the next 10 years. Plus, the guys pay tribute to the Patron Saint of Projection — former TCU coach Gary Patterson.Want to watch the show instead? Head on over to YouTube and join us LIVE, M-F, at 8 am et!

Sure, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian made it abundantly clear that Quinn Ewers is the Texas starter and that he just really wanted to give Manning a chance to play significant snaps in the spring game. But that’s not how the Internet works, Sark.Meanwhile, Michigan wrapped spring practice, and it appears the Wolverines’ QB competition will come down to Alex Orji and Davis Warren — unless Michigan coaches decide to dip into the transfer portal for a QB. So far, no QB that would appear worthy of Michigan’s starting job has entered the portal.That brings us to a transfer portal update from On3 national writer Pete Nakos. The weekend brought a lot of official visits, a few commitments and a few new entries.Next, Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus joins to break down Thursday’s NFL Draft. Trevor is a massive college football fan who also happens to be a draft analyst, and he’ll help explain some of the more interesting swings in draft conventional wisdom. For instance, former Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy is now being mocked as a likely top-10 pick. How did he climb draft boards so fast?Want to watch the show instead?

Quarterback Jaden Rashada, whose original signing with Florida disintegrated after a collective reneged on a contract that purported to be worth $13.8 million over four years, is leaving Arizona State after one season in Tempe. Where might he wind up? On3’s Pete Nakos reported he possibly could be headed to an SEC school.Next, LSU receivers coach/co-offensive coordinator Cortez Hankton Jr. joins the show. Hankton will be in the green room at the draft next week with former Tigers receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., who are expected to be picked in the first round. Hankton, who came to LSU from Georgia and who could have as many as six former players drafted next week, discusses how those two developed into first-rounders.Later, On3 national scout Cody Bellaire explains how college personnel departments are handling the transfer portal window. Bellaire, who worked in the personnel departments at LSU, Texas A&M and Texas Tech, breaks down exactly how the process works from a player deciding to enter the portal to choosing a new school.Want to watch the show instead?

Plus, will a spring game that might feature only cameo appearances from a lot of starters — including QB1 Quinn Ewers — mean big playing time for backup QB Arch Manning?Eddie Radosevich and George Stoia III of On3’s Sooner Scoop break down Oklahoma as the Sooners prepare to wrap their third spring practice under Brent Venables. Offensive line remains a question mark. What does that mean for the development of new starting quarterback Jackson Arnold?Also, how much different is Oklahoma’s roster makeup since the Sooners decided three years ago to join the SEC?Andy updates the transfer portal, which opened Tuesday. A few players who could contribute to contending teams have tossed in their names now.Plus, Sportico obtained a potential conference breakdown from a pitch deck for the college football super league idea that arrived with a thud a few years ago. It helps explain why the idea got zero traction with the people who make the decisions.Michigan and the NCAA have negotiated a resolution to (mostly) wrap up the case commonly known as Cheeseburgergate. The school and some current and former coaches have agreed to punishments for recruiting violations committed during the pandemic. The one former coach who did not agree to any sort of resolution? Jim Harbaugh. The former Michigan and current Los Angeles Chargers head coach did not take part in the settlement and has continued to fight the accusations against him. Clayton Sayfie of On3’s The Wolverine joined to discuss what this means for the Wolverines and for Harbaugh.Want to watch the show instead?

The window for undergraduate transfers doesn’t open until Monday, but two big names indicated on Tuesday that they plan to enter the portal when it opens. USC defensive tackle Bear Alexander — perhaps the biggest mover in last year’s spring portal when he went from Georgia to the Trojans — plans to move again. Meanwhile, Oregon State tailback Damien Martinez — who averaged 6.1 yards a carry for the Beavers last year — also plans to enter the portal.The basketball portal remains busy as well. Indiana State’s Robbie Avila — affectionately known as Cream Abdul-Jabbar or Larry Nerd — has entered his name into the portal. Is he following former Sycamores coach Josh Schertz to Saint Louis? Or is he looking elsewhere?In a Tallahassee courtroom, a judge denied the ACC’s request to stay Florida State’s lawsuit against the league. A North Carolina judge denied Florida State’s request last week to stay the ACC’s suit against the Seminoles in that state.
