Summary
Max Olson and Sam Khan Jr. recap a wild week in the transfer portal. Max has the the latest on this new "transfer portal window". Sam also discussed his A1 story on Texas A&M titled "Texas A&M had national title hopes, a $94.9 million coach and a No. 1 recruiting class. What went wrong?"
Plus, Joel Anderson joins the show! Joel’s a former TCU player, used to work with Sam covering CFB at ESPN & currently works at Slate and is co-hosting a sports podcast. Last year Joel was on the show, was very tepid about Sonny Dykes and was instead lobbying for the Horned Frogs to hire Deion Sanders. The guys get his perspective on the man he used to call “September Sonny" and his Horned Frogs' trip to the CFP.
