Episode Details

Texas State surges up the recruiting rankings after GJ Kinney lands four-star running back Daylon Gordon, beating out Power Four contenders like Baylor and Florida State. Is this the start of a recruiting revolution for the Bobcats and the new-look Pac-12?

Brian Smith and Christian Rauh break down Gordon’s NFL potential, discuss Texas State’s recruiting being ranked similarly to Alabama, and analyze how NIL and relationships are reshaping college football. The hosts also spotlight Washington State’s coup—securing elite OL Rashaun Lavata’i over Washington and Utah—and debate whether the Cougars can keep top recruits out of the transfer portal. Closing out, they tackle San Diego State’s challenges: can Sean Lewis leverage San Diego’s unique market to reload on defense and establish the Aztecs as a perennial Group of Six contender? Don’t miss this fast-moving conversation on recruiting battles, portal strategies, and which Pac-12 teams could lead college football’s next wave of success.
