## Resource

It's Jake Herman's last fill-in show of Craig's vacation, and there's plenty to discuss! Jake discusses the latest in World Cup news, the Wimbledon finals are set, the MLB All-Star and HR Derby lineups are shifting, and NBA Summer League has tipped off with plenty of drama on (and off) the court. Andrew Haynes, the voice of UT Softball, joins Jake to preview the upcoming MLB trade deadline and Draft, including an analysis of which Longhorns might go off the board first. Jalen Brown from OrangeBloods.com stops by to share his reaction to Sean Miller landing a commitment from Marcus Spears Jr., the top-ranked prospect in the 2027 class who decided to reclassify and join an already-loaded Longhorn roster next season. Birmingham radio mainstay and "Paul Finebaum Show" co-creator Pat Smith discusses the offseason adjustments for Kalen DeBoer in Tuscaloosa, the expectations for Alex Golesh at Auburn, and other summer SEC storylines as Texas prepares for its third season in the conference.
