Summary

Both the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers got great basketball news Wednesday. Auburn Basketball star Tahaad Pettiford officially removed his name from the NBA Draft around 2:00, just hours before the deadline. He will come back to Bruce Pearl’s rebuilt Auburn squad. Alabama’s Labaron Philon surprised many with his 11th hour announcement that he was leaving the NBA Draft and returning to Tuscaloosa for another season. Nate Oats has rebuilt his roster, as well, and Philon is a massive final piece. As Pettiford returns to Auburn, is he a no doubt All-SEC player? Can he work his way into the Draft Lottery? How shocking was the Philon return? Can Alabama win the SEC with this roster? The SEC Meetings are winding down in Destin. Alabama Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer, Georgia Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart and Ole Miss Rebels coach Lane Kiffin all spoke out about the College Football Playoffs, as did SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. What the Alabama Football, Georgia Football and Ole Miss Football coaches had to say about the system and what irritates the Commish. The SEC coaches want to play the Big Ten annually, several speak out at the SEC Meetings. What would that do for schedules like the South Carolina Gamecocks who already have and ACC team as a rival? Also, Georgia Football coach Kirby Smart lets us behind the curtain on what is the latest tactic among college football programs in recruiting and what it takes to get a commit. Our Champions Boxing 40-in-40 hits number 29 with Big 12 team the TCU Horned Frogs. Will TCU Football be more 2023 or 2024? Just how good can the Frogs be? Big 12 commissioner Brett Yourmark says his ADs are in line with the 5-11 Playoff model starting in 2026. The best thing Tom Brady has done since he left the NFL. Goodbye to Inside the NBA on TNT.
