Andy and Cody each will declare their offensive and defensive schemes. Then they’ll draft the best possible teams to carry out those schemes on the field.

Perhaps they’re looking for different quarterbacks, but everyone needs great offensive tackles, edge rushers, defensive backs and receivers. Who will get LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell? Who will get Ohio State’s Caleb Downs? Which general manager/coach will pick the best players for his chosen schemes?

Feel free to heckle each pick in the chat.

The hype train for Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola is leaving the station, and Andy climbs aboard with Sean Callahan of On3’s Husker Online. Raiola’s spring game performance got the Nebraska fanbase pumped for the future. So what happens next? How does coach Matt Rhule handle the quarterback situation going into preseason camp? And who will help Raiola on offense when fall arrives?

(35:15-40:28) Spring Transfer Portal
(40:29-1:03:53) Tyler Horka from Blue and Gold joins
(1:03:54-1:06:50) Conclusion - Draft Ultimate Teams tomorrow


Before that, Andy breaks down the news that the NCAA and major conferences have engaged in settlement talks in the House v. NCAA case. Why does this matter? Because any settlement likely involves the schools promising revenue sharing with the athletes going forward. That would change how the players are compensated, and it likely would lead to collective bargaining.

Speaking of which, there was news on that front Monday out of Trent Dilfer’s UAB program.

Also, a few more players jumped in the transfer portal ahead of its closing on Tuesday. Alabama freshman safety Peyton Woodyard entered on Monday night. Oregon is the favorite to land him. Nebraska edge rusher Chief Borders also has entered the portal. So has former Washington QB Sam Huard, who spent 2023 at Cal Poly. Offensive lineman Andrew Dennis, the highest ranked signee in Illinois’ 2024 class, also entered the portal.

Next, Tyler Horka of On3’s Blue and Gold joins to discuss Notre Dame coming out of spring practice. The Fighting Irish got a good look at their quarterback room with presumed starter Riley Leonard recovering from ankle surgery, and the depth — and lack of QBs jumping in the portal — should inspire confidence. So should the performance of the receivers in the spring game. Notre Dame didn’t have anywhere near its full group, but the way the available players performed suggests that the passing game should be much more dynamic than it was last season.

We’re talking about what Oregon should expect from the Big Ten and what the Big Ten should expect from the Ducks, but we also need to acknowledge that elsewhere in the Big Ten, the Dylan Raiola hype machine is operating at full capacity after Raiola’s spring game performance.

On3 national reporter Pete Nakos joins to discuss the latest on the spring transfer portal window. Oregon State RB transfer Damien Martinez has committed to Miami, and Colorado RB transfer Dylan Edwards has committed to Kansas State. Meanwhile, Colorado wrapped spring practice and continued to add more transfers. That includes RB Rashad Amos, a Miami (Ohio) transfer who originally had planned to go to Mississippi State.

Next, Justin Hopkins of Scoop Duck joins to talk about Oregon. The Ducks wrapped spring practice Saturday, and Oklahoma transfer QB Dillon Gabriel looks like he’s been in Eugene forever. We also got a look at a few potential star freshmen on defense, and we got our first look at QB Dante Moore as a Duck.

Plus, Andy breaks down the rest of the NFL draft....

But first, On3 national reporter Pete Nakos joins us for a transfer portal update. And the portal has been busy. On Wednesday, Georgia defensive lineman Christen Miller announced his intention to enter the portal. This is another player of consequence entering the portal. The question now is which non-SEC team will land Miller. Also, former Penn State receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith committed to Auburn.

Now it’s time for your questions, including a leadoff question that is sure to ignite debate…

In honor of Reggie Bush getting his Heisman Trophy back, does Reggie have the greatest high school highlight video of all time? Andy will rank the top 10.

Also in honor of Bush getting his Heisman back, what other sports wrongs need to be righted?

It’s draft night, and a viewer wants to know how Andy would build a team if he were an NFL general manager.

Another viewer wants Andy to match perfect players with perfect teams/situations in the draft.

Also, how will weather affect first-round College Football Playoff games?

We’re a day away from the NFL draft, so it’s time for Andy to break down his mock draft. But first, there’s a lot of transfer portal news.

1:14:42 Conclusion, Dear Andy Tomorrow - Andystapleson3@gmail.com



The most interesting name is Dylan Edwards, the Colorado tailback who led the Buffaloes in rushing last season. Edwards was one of Deion Sanders’ first big flips, choosing Colorado over Notre Dame out of high school. But now Edwards plans to hit the portal. Where will he go? We’re not quite sure, but Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson posted a photo of he and Edwards playing together in pee-wee football.

Next, Andy and On3 national writer Jesse Simonton have things to argue about. Andy released his mock draft, while Jesse released his All-College Football team of potential NFL draftees.

Jesse also revealed his top 25 college football coaches this week. That topic certainly won’t create any debate in the chat.
