  • What was Jon chewing on?

    Jon is a pro and has a great podcast, but on his this is March Podcast he sounded like he was eating or sucking on a cough drop or could not clear his saliva. It was ongoing and terribly distracting. Come on, Jon! Don’t eat during your podcast.

    No mention of Toppin’s injury and Big12 losing reigning POTY. Probably the most impactful injury in MBB. Disappointing!

    You have mentioned that top 6 are solid but if one team finished in top 6 that is projected to start outside of top 6, who would it be? Which of the top 6 will struggle the most?

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Transfer Portal Updates + Big Names Who Could Benefit from 5-in-5 rule
Q: With Ellie Cadeau testing the NBA waters, does Michigan need to bring in another veteran point guard?
It's likely Michigan will consider adding a veteran guard, as Cadeau is uncertain to stay in the draft, and a veteran could help stabilize the backcourt while the young players develop.
Transfer portal updates I UConn, Illinois show importance of retention
Q: Jim Duggan asks why St. John's is not using the transfer portal and going international.
St. John's is using the portal and has Mustafa Cham and Masamba Jop in play, with other targets like Mohammed Diabate; the program is active but needs multiple impact additions to keep pace.
Transfer portal updates I UConn, Illinois show importance of retention
Q: Franz Wagner asks if Florida is a Blue Blood program.
The host argues Florida operates at a high level and could be considered close to a Blue Blood if they retain key pieces like Hauck and Chinulu, which would keep them in Top 5 contention and potentially a top seed.
Gerry McNamara details the plan to reignite the Syracuse brand
Q: What was it like leaving Siena for the Syracuse job, and how did you approach that transition?
It was surreal and meaningful because Syracuse is where my story began; I emphasized respect for the program's past while outlining a clear plan to build a culture and roster that could compete at the highest level.
Jerrod Calhoun spoke to Mick Cronin before accepting Cincy job + how he plans to rebuild FAST
Q: How did prior success influence your mindset about moving to Cincinnati?
