  • Disappointing

    Just nothing of depth here. Just two guys agreeing with each other.

    Outstanding content. Great guests (mostly coaches) and the back and forth is great. You start to hear reoccurring themes from the guests. That is a good thing.

  • Good stuff

    Really good podcast. I just wish they had more guests. I enjoy the episodes where they talk to college coaches. They ask great questions and the back and forth flows well.

  • Why such pauses?

    Would probably be good content if you could get past the really long pauses between responses and then the acknowledgement they the response has ended… I have to keep looking at my phone to see if the podcast stopped because the host waits so long to say anything. Annoying.
