The SEC recruiting landscape shifts as NIL regulations evolve. Will new rules reshape college football's power dynamics?

Chris Gordy and recruiting expert Brian Smith analyze the NCAA's $20 million revenue sharing settlement and its impact on SEC programs. They explore how top schools like Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs might navigate the changing NIL landscape. The discussion covers recent high-profile commitments, including Zykie Helton to Georgia and Aaron Gregory to Texas A&M, while examining discrepancies between recruiting service rankings. Smith offers insights on emerging trends, such as prospects "shutting down" recruitment early.

Also, Florida's suddenly on fire, potentially adding 10-12 commits by early July. What's your take - smart move by recruits to "shut it down" or limiting their options too early?

Tune in for expert analysis on how SEC powerhouses are adapting their strategies in this new era of college football recruiting.
