  • The best

    If you appreciate knowledge, humor and radio discipline then this is your guy. I’ve only been listening to WMVP for 17 years so my knowledge is limited so I recommend finding out yourself.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

UTH Pre Draft Coverage - with J-Hood and Darius Brockett
Q: What would you like about Fernando Mendoza?
Mendoza has a strong frame, an accurate arm, and strong intangibles; he commands the offense and leads with his personality, but the key question is whether one great Indiana season is enough to justify being the top pick, and whether a team should invest heavily upfront or let him develop behind a veteran.
Deon Thomas - 4/2/26 Final 4 bound ILLINI!
Q: How does Deon view Brad Underwood's commitment to Illinois?
Deon Thomas explains that Underwood's willingness to stay and build a long-term program, despite lucrative offers elsewhere, reflects a deep commitment that energizes the Illinois fan base and players alike.
Deon Thomas - 4/2/26 Final 4 bound ILLINI!
Q: What matchup details gave Illinois confidence against UConn in the Final Four run?
Jonathan Hood asks about Illinois' defensive communication and physicality, while Deon Thomas emphasizes the need to stay patient on offense and exploit mismatches in Illinois' favor, suggesting disciplined defense and ball movement as keys to victory.
CBB College Basketball_ESPN Radio Myron Medcalf
Q: Is there a risk that mid-major teams can ever consistently break through the current scheduling structure to gain at-large bids?
The guest notes that without favorable scheduling and opportunities against high-profile teams, mid-majors struggle to build a resume that stands up to the power conferences, suggesting systemic barriers beyond on-court performance.
J-Hood and Ken Davis - New Edition/Super Bowl Preview 2/4/26
Q: What do you think is the biggest issue that is facing the Chicago Bears this offseason right now?
Defensive line. They need a dominant defensive tackle to collapse the pocket since just making changes to the offensive line is not enough.
