I just have one question. Would you eat sh*t for one million followers?

While you freaks think about that one I'm gonna write an essay on this pod. I thought about lying and saying we got a sick guest just so you'd listen but tbh we couldn't get anyone.

SOOOO. Jordan McCabe and Overtime Tom decided to act up instead. We started off talking about the World Series for maybe 30 seconds before we went right into CRAZY CELEBRATIONS. Producer Spencer hopped on to tell us about people eating horse sh*t at a Super Bowl parade which led to that ridiculous question I asked above. You still dk what'd you'd answer and that's OK

The big thing we're talking about here is how Bronny might be the most influential high school athlete ever. Tom really wanted to have this discussion until Jordan legit flipped out and decided that was a dumb idea.

So instead we're tryna figure out who the best HS player in the country is. We got Emoni, Mikey, Chet, Jaden Hardy... TAKE YOUR PICK.

Alright we took Emoni... spoiler alert

After that we talked about funny stuff but I'm in the car writing this and getting carsick so just listen and SUBSCRIBE!

For the second straight Monday, a No. 1-rated basketball recruit has proven skeptics wrong and announced a commitment to playing college basketball over more lucrative alternatives. On Monday, Emoni Bates made his choice to play for Michigan State, if and when he's eligible to do so. Bates is in the class of 2022 and has made no clear intention of reclassifying to 2021. Bates, 16, regarded as one of the two or three best prospects this century. Will he wind up playing for Tom Izzo? Norlander and Parrish both say yes and present the evidence and indications as to why. The second half of the pod is dedicated to the Big East and UConn (28:00), a reunion which will become official on Wednesday. With UConn going to the Big East, the guys power-rank every program, 1 through 11, and project the hierarchy of the league over the next five seasons.
