  • F the ducks

    I’m not even an Oregon State fan, but like college hoops podcasts in general (discovered through a 3 Man Weave shoutout). These two hosts are great!

  • Insightful & Funny!

    I started following the Beavs from Montana b/c of Wayne Tinkle. Then I found this pod, and now I’m hooked!

    **Sorry about the bot-like message about Sling. You guys are awesome.

    And it’s my fault for not being there in Vegas, I will be have to change that next year.

  • Insightful & Funny!

    I started following the Beavs from Montana b/c of Wayne Tinkle. Then I found this pod, and now I’m hooked! Wanted to tell you guys to look into Sling (the Orange Package ironically!). With sports add-on, you get ALL the Pac-12 channels and all the ESPN channels for $46 a month (no taxes). There’s 1-2 Conf games a year on Fox you can’t get, but it’s my go to for long winters in Havre, MT!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Coach Staff Rundown & Roster Update with Coach PC
Q: What is the role of the new general manager and why is it important?
The hosts discuss that the GM role is more hands-on with recruiting and program building, moving beyond a ceremonial title to someone actively shaping roster strategy and pipeline development, which could help OSU stabilize amid portal changes.
Coach Staff Rundown & Roster Update with Coach PC
Q: What stands out about Michael Plank as a hire for OSU?
Gabe emphasizes Plank's extensive Northwest recruiting network, deep local ties, and ability to bring in players from Willamette, Portland State, and other Northwest programs, which should help OSU recruit effectively in the region.
The Last Preseason Pod with Coach Marlon Stewart + The Yang Hansen Corner
Q: Is the team going to be able to play multiple guards together given the depth at guard positions?
Yes, we have multiple guard options and can play different lineups depending on matchups; our versatility lets us adapt and keep the floor open while leveraging our depth and ball movement.
The Last Preseason Pod with Coach Marlon Stewart + The Yang Hansen Corner
Q: Coach, with the NIL era and high roster turnover, how do you recruit players who will stay and grow with the program?
We focus on the culture, authenticity, and people around the program; we communicate honestly about the environment and the long-term fit, while identifying voids and tailoring our approach to each recruit, whether from high school, junior college, international, or the transfer portal.
WCC Preview with Zack Farmer + The Yang Hansen Corner
Q: What are Zack Farmer's thoughts on the current state of the WCC and which teams might contend this season?
Zack suggests Gonzaga and Saint Mary's remain the top tier, with San Francisco rising due to depth and a strong non-conference schedule; he also notes Seattle as an intriguing newcomer and emphasizes the need for consistency against lower-ranked teams to maximize conference success.
