    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.

    If the expanded Playoff gives us half the drama and entertainment of Rivalry Week, we’re in for quite a treat.

The SEC still has restrictions on transfers? What year is this? Are we back in the 2010s? 2 thoughts: 1) It's a recruiting disadvantage to the SEC IF stud QB leaves for an ACC, B1G contender. 2) Have you not learned anything over past 3 yrs? SEC has no legal right to stop this.
