Nothing could top the 2023 college baseball season. And then 2024 showed up — producing another SEC national champion and 3 of the greatest individual seasons in the SEC’s storied history. In the past 2 years alone, the SEC produced 14 first-round draft picks and forced countless revisions to the record books. Nicknames like Jac-tani, Tanks and CMo became part of our baseball vernacular. There’s no way more magic awaits in 2025, right? Maybe? Opening Day is here.

The top 3 overall players in the 2025 recruiting cycle were 5-star quarterbacks. Altogether, 4 5-star QBs signed scholarships Wednesday. Alabama landed No. 2 overall prospect Keelon Russell, but 3 of them — including No. 1 Bryce Underwood (Michigan) and No. 3 Tavien St. Clair (Ohio State) — are headed to the Big Ten. Don’t get too attached, though: If recent history holds, it’s safe to say many won’t stay where they signed.

If the expanded Playoff gives us half the drama and entertainment of Rivalry Week, we’re in for quite a treat. From Georgia rallying for an epic 8-OT victory over Georgia Tech to South Carolina’s heart-stopping comeback at Clemson in a Playoff-elimination game, Week 14 was the best to date. Unless, of course, you were Ryan Day or Mike Elko. Those are among the 10 things I’m absolutely overreacting to after the Rivalry Week in and around the SEC.

Plant HS in Tampa should host the All-Star Game Home Run Derby. Boggs could pitch to Alonso, Tucker … and Cags.

Pete Alonso has been an absolute machine. The average (.346) and power (.677 slugging percentage) are undeniable. Most impressive, though, is the plate discipline. He has more walks than strikeouts — and has punched in just 15.2% of his plate appearances. https://t.co/Ymb5Km4LP8

I’m the infield/1B coach at Countryside HS. Also an assistant for girls hoops. My baseball team knows all about my basketball team. Just challenged them to ‘Coach Chris Cup’: Baseball v Girls Hoops. Love my dudes, but they got no chance. 🤣 My girls are gonna run it up on em. 🤣

Why I do what I do … in a photo. So happy and honored to be part of your baseball journey, to be a part of the best Countryside High baseball team in 25 years. https://t.co/NPYIet1IDk
