John Calipari's Return: How Arkansas Stunned Kentucky in Rupp; Bama Hires Ryan Grubb as OC

John Calipari's Arkansas Razorbacks upset the Kentucky Wildcats 89-79 in Cal's return to Rupp Arena. Arkansas shot 52% from 3, with all 5 starters in double digits. Kentucky's defense struggled, with no answer for the Hogs' hot shooting. Cal even admitted looking at the wrong scoreboard out of habit. What do you think this win means for Arkansas' season? Also, former Wildcat Reed Sheppard shows support for his former coach, wearing an Arkansas shirt. Should Sheppard show allegiance to the school and where he grew up, over his coach? 

On the football side of things, Alabama hired Ryan Grubb as offensive coordinator, reuniting him with Kalen DeBoer. Grubb had great success previously with DeBoer at Washington. But this is Bama's 4th OC in 4 years. With Jalen Milroe gone, who starts at QB - Ty Simpson, Austin Mack, or freshman Keelon Russell? What's your prediction for Bama's offense next season?

And we dive into the latest buzz surrounding some SEC standout performances at the Senior Bowl. Jalen Milroe struggled with accuracy, potentially hurting his draft stock. Jack Bech (ex-LSU) was MVP. Walter Nolan (Ole Miss) and Shemar Stewart (A&M) improved their stock. Ole Miss could have 7-8 players drafted despite underachieving this season.

Tune in for an in-depth analysis of SEC sports dynamics and discover what these developments mean for the future.

We let you hear from Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze and Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer who both spoke with the media. Can the Auburn Tigers' new recruits reshape their quarterback lineup? Dive into the latest insights from the Senior Bowl, featuring exclusive interviews with Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze and Alabama Crimson Tide's Kalen DeBoer. 

This episode unpacks Auburn's quarterback dynamics, spotlighting Jackson Arnold's potential and Deuce Knight's promising future. Meanwhile, Alabama's player development strategies are dissected, with DeBoer sharing how the Crimson Tide prepares athletes for the NFL. Kalen DeBoer reflected on his first year at Alabama, falling short of championship expectations. He's excited about the team's momentum and player retention. Ryan Williams has higher goals for next season. DeBoer favors a smaller, single transfer portal window. What area do you think Alabama needs to improve most to contend for a national title in 2024?

Also, Jalen Milroe and Jackson Dart struggled on Day 1 of Senior Bowl practices. Milroe's accuracy issues persisted, while Dart fumbled a few times under center. Both QBs could sneak into late 1st round, but need to improve. What do you think their draft stock will be after the Senior Bowl? 

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the SEC landscape, as Freeze and DeBoer discuss their teams' evolving strategies and the impact of recent coaching changes.
