Freeman discusses reuniting with offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock, who coached Jayden Daniels to the Heisman Trophy last year at LSU. Freeman also talks about hiring a strength coach and how important that position is.Freeman explains how he’s handling the quarterbacks after getting transfer Riley Leonard from Duke. Freeman also discusses how the Irish plan to replace offensive tackles Joe Alt and Blake Fisher.Next, Tim Watts of On3’s BamaOnline joins to discuss how wildly different the program feels under new coach Kalen DeBoer. They’re playing music at practice, which Nick Saban didn’t do. They’re letting assistant coaches do interviews. Nick Saban didn’t do that, either.But DeBoer was never going to work exactly like Saban did. But he’s alike in some ways. The Crimson Tide had a massive wave of visitors in the first week of spring practice, and it appears they’re ready to compete for the same kind of players they did under Saban.Want to watch the show on YouTube?

It’s a year of transformation in Norman, and how is Venables handling the process?Next, On3’s resident bracketologist James Fletcher III stops by to talk about some of the filled NCAA Tournament bracket spots and all the ones remaining.

How Different Could College Football Look? ESPN's Cole Cubelic Joins. We also discuss Caitlin Clark's record and recap a wild weekend with our own bracketologist, James Fletcher III(0:00-2:14) Intro(2:15-17:14) Cole Cubelic Joins(17:15-22:12) Would The SEC or Big Ten kick out teams?(22:13-32:54) Teams in a Super League?

Dilfer thinks the schism between the Big Ten/SEC and the rest of the FBS is coming soon, perhaps within the next 18 months.That a sitting FBS coach would say this is interesting enough, but Dilfer spent enough time working at ESPN to know a lot of the people who move the levers that make these things happen. Plus, everything else has happened faster than expected, so perhaps things could move this fast.Andy and Cole discuss what such a league might look like. Would it be 50 or 60 teams or something smaller? Who could be included? What would happen to the rest of the FBS?With court cases still looming, schools exploring the idea of partnering with private equity firms and further realignment still on the horizon, could everything look different by 2026?Plus, Andy discusses Iowa star Caitlin Clark breaking the NCAA's all-time scoring record. Nike was ready with a congratulatory ad, and the Hawkeyes avenged an earlier loss to No. 2 Ohio State.Next, On3's James Fletcher III joins Andy to talk college basketball. Tennessee's win at Alabama on Saturday might be enough to move the Volunteers onto the NCAA Tournament selection committee's No. 1 seed line. Gonzaga won a critical game at St. Mary's.Also, can Ohio State interim coach Jake Diebler possibly get the Buckeyes into the NCAA Tournament.Plus, which low-major and mid-major conference tournament No. 1 seeds should be on upset watch this week?Want to watch the show instead?

With the CFP expanding to 12 this season, is this the year the Nittany Lions finally break in? If you believe they’ll go over 9.5 wins, then you believe they’ll make the CFP.The question is this: How excited will fans be if Penn State is still only the third-best team in the Big Ten? Would making the CFP change the calculation? Sean Fitz of On3’s Blue and White Illustrated joins to answer these questions and more. Penn State has two new coordinators and perhaps the most interesting schedule it has had since before it joined the Big Ten. There is much to discuss.Next, On3’s James Fletcher III joins to preview a critical weekend in college basketball. Has Kentucky turned the corner after smashing Alabama and winning on a buzzer-beater at Mississippi State? Also, Tennessee heads to Tuscaloosa for a game that could help determine NCAA Tournament seeding.Kansas heads to Waco to face Baylor in a clash of Big 12 titans. Marquette and Creighton play in a key Big East game in Omaha. Out west, Gonzaga faces St. Mary’s in the West Coast Conference finale. Lose, and the Bulldogs might need to win the WCC Tournament to make the NCAA tourney.Want to watch the show?

The great Phillip Dukes, the host of On3’s Five Star Flex, joins from Indianapolis to talk about the NFL Combine. Andy gets why Caleb Williams wouldn’t throw at the combine, but why wouldn’t Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels? Can someone like J.J.

Send your questions to AndyStaplesOn3@gmail.comOur friends at Fanduel set the over/under on Oklahoma’s win total at 7.5 — and some books had the Sooners as low as 6.5 at first. Do the folks in the desert have an inkling about how Oklahoma’s first season in the big, bad SEC will go? Or are they perhaps underestimating how good the Sooners will be in their first season in their new league?Eddie Radosevich and George Stoia III of On3’s SoonerScoop join Andy to discuss one of the more interesting win totals of the season. They dive into Oklahoma’s schedule and examine which young players could make an early impact.Next up, On3’s J.D. PicKell visits to discuss his recent interviews with LSU coach Brian Kelly and Florida State coach Mike Norvell.Kelly lost a Heisman Trophy-winning QB and his offensive coordinator and had to fire his defensive coordinator. Can LSU be competitive again in the SEC after all those changes?Meanwhile, Norvell had to dramatically reshape his roster after losing the core of a team that went 13-0 and won the ACC before getting shut out of the College Football Playoff. Can Norvell work his magic in the transfer portal again?Subscribe to On3! ⬇️ youtube.com/on3sports/?sub_confirmati...Welcome to On3 | The best of college football and recruiting https://www.on3.com/Listen to Andy Staples On3 on podcast!Spotify 🎧 : https://open.spotify.com/show/5AhQ4d2m5TQu5Q2vkwtxjt?si=d9016221aa2a4427Apple🍎:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/andy-staples-on3/id1695325427Follow Andy Staples on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Andy_StaplesFollow Andy Staples on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andy_staplesFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/on3sportsFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/on3/Like/Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/On3Sports/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
