@HotNColdPod Kinda relieved. Likely to be a good pro. Unlikely to be a good collegian in 2022-23.

@umhoops 2x speed on the listen. Big agree on Purdue. Talent doesn’t make sense. UM: You’ve got a big hope on a Sunbelt transfer who isn’t a PG and Diabate. Hustan I buy. Big agree on Illini. It all works together. You’re missing on IU. The talent and NBA lifer coach make sense.

@DoctorGC The 80 minutes was fine. Got me through cleaning-up the kitchen (and I listen at 1.9x). Enjoyed the burger/brisket discussion. In the off-seasons, expanded discussion to everything related to sports (NIL, food, worst drives/roads to away games) is under-covered.

@AssemblyCall JH 15.5% and RT 15.7% had the lowest IU usage rates and 2 of the 3 lowest min/game among returnees in BIG play, but were 2 of the 3 highest in 3pt% RT 33.3% and JH 36.7%. Increasing M/G + USG% up for both = a likely 3x increase in ppg to 9 for RT and 11-12 for JH?

@Nick_Baumgart Thanks for all you do providing information and informed opinion about basketball. I appreciate your efforts to get past the spin and focus on the truth.

[Brendan Armitage @Wonderfulgood]

@Nick_Baumgart wingspan and body build are the metrics I’d like to hear about more than height. 6’7” height and muscular with a 7’2” wingspan (OG) can defend a small-ball 5, while 6’4” Al D can only defend the 1 &2. It’s a metric I’m having a hard time getting. Thx.

[Brendan Armitage @Wonderfulgood]

@AssemblyCall 26% from 3, and being careless with the ball (23 turnovers, including 11 steals). This is what they are. The Illini only have 1 RSCI player on the team. As you Texans say, “All hat and no cattle...”

@marcthiessen We are a republic, not a direct dem. It doesn’t matter if the public understands impeachment. It is the duty of the legislature to protect the nation by impeaching the president if that official has put the public’s security in jeopardy, as Mr Trump has done.

@rickyarmellino People who love guns seem to feel powerless in and confused by modern society. I feel badly for them, but guns still kill people, so we still need to get rid of the guns.

@ColinCowherd Notice how much Tom Brady sounds like Ray Lewis in minutes 6-11 of part 2 of his MMQB podcast interview?

@ChrisLeinberger Amazing to see LA as "dense". Houston next? Great work, btw. Stand tall at GW.

@Meghatron16 Which comes first for you?

[Brendan Armitage @Wonderfulgood]

@sarahpekkanen: Roger Goodell? You have to admire the unrepentant nature of Kanye's foolishness though. A 1%'er.
