On today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, Barry opened with a recap of Jalen Williams’ 40-point performance that propelled the Oklahoma City Thunder to a crucial NBA Finals win, putting them one victory away from a championship.

The show also highlighted a historic no-hitter by Arkansas’ Gage Wood in the College World Series against Murray State — the first at the event since 1960. McKnight praised former Troy pitcher Isaac Silva’s outing for Murray State but emphasized the dominance of Wood, who came one pitch shy of a perfect game after a breaking ball hit Dom Decker.

The conversation shifted to NCAA football as recruiting hits a brief lull before the dead period begins. McKnight questioned whether coaches still honor those restrictions amid widespread tampering. Meanwhile, campus life is alive with summer camps ranging from football to cheerleading. AuburnSports.com’s Brian Matthews joined to break down Auburn’s recent recruiting efforts, noting that while official visits have wrapped up, the Tigers are now focused on commitments from key targets. Matthews added that Auburn’s quarterback room has improved and highlighted the early scouting of prospects as young as the class of 2028.
