Jason and Donald review some of the news stories and events that have taken place since the weekend, starting with Cameron Boozer, Jon Scheyer, and Maliq Brown.
The most prestigious of the national awards come this weekend, and the trio hope to hear their name called even more as those awards are announced. We also recap the McDonald’s All-American Game, where Deron Rippey Jr. and Cameron Williams played in the Boys’ game and Autumn Fleary and Bella Flemings participated in the Girls’ game.
We also address some of the horrid online abuse that Duke guard Cayden Boozer received after the UConn game and a recent article where coaches overwhelmingly think the best job in college basketball is held by Jon Scheyer. After the break, we get into some of things we’re hearing about roster construction for next season. Who stays?
Who goes? Who comes via the portal? We’ve reached the beginning of silly season, so we discuss just the bit of speculation we’ve heard about what next year’s roster could look like.
