COLLAPSE: Is High School Recruitment DEAD? Has the Portal Taken Over? | Trey Wallace Talks CFB

Has high school football recruiting lost its power in shaping college football dynasties? The rise of the transfer portal is shifting priorities, as SEC programs like Alabama, LSU, and Tennessee rethink strategies and fan interest pivots to player movement over five-star freshman classes. Recent high-profile decommitments and big portal additions highlight how programs reload their rosters—and whether traditional recruiting still holds sway in building championship contenders. Chris Gordy spotlights dramatic changes in SEC recruiting, SEC vs. Big Ten maneuvers amid federal legislation, and the looming possibility of college football “super leagues.” We hear from Outkick's Trey Wallace who dissects playoff expansion, the fate of marquee non-conference matchups like Texas vs. Ohio State, and Nick Saban’s candid Capitol Hill remarks on NIL money. Plus, get SEC Super Regional baseball picks and reaction to Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire’s bold moves vs. Texas. Can established powers adapt, or is a new era underway?   Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
