Some SEC Coaches Being Selective in NIL Spending, More Transfer Portal Moves, Toughest SOS in SEC Locked On SEC – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

On today's show, we discuss Hugh Freeze saying he "couldn't bring himself" to spend $1 million on a Transfer Portal QB, but is that the right approach? Are they better off spending on big time wide receivers to surround Payton Thorne, or should they have targeted a Cam Ward-type QB? We also tie this in LSU Coach Brian Kelly's comments earlier this week on "buying players", as well as Josh Heupel's comments on "bringing the right people inside the building." It's clear SEC coaches are being more selective when it comes to how much they're willing to spend on transfer portal players in this NIL-era.

Also, we go Around The Conference as Texas adds a d-lineman in former Louisville DL Jermayne Lole, beating out Oklahoma for his services. Alabama adds Wake Forest DB DaShawn Jones to the mix in their secondary, along with their other transfers like Keon Sabb, Kam Howard and Domani Jackson. And Hugh Freeze says he is a big "believer" still in QB Payton Thorne.
