Speaker 1: The next same is Get at Me and BD, where
Speaker 1: we answer questions from the fans, and since March Madness
Speaker 1: has started, we'll answer a few questions about college basketball.
Speaker 2: Why for twenty twenty five?
Speaker 3: Who are the top prospects to watch during March Madness?
Speaker 3: If you both can give your top three.
Speaker 1: I'll start, obviously Cooper Flag, but Cooper Flag is who
Speaker 1: he is.
Speaker 2: I think an interesting to watch is Jace Richards.
Speaker 1: Jason has climbed up the charts of the draft boards,
Speaker 1: and I think he's continuing to excel. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people early on in the season like, oh man,
Speaker 1: he's a shot maker.
Speaker 2: He can make shots, but can he handle the ball?
Speaker 2: So what the isoe do here?
Speaker 1: Jason handled the ball more, go make plays more, and
Speaker 1: he's checked that box, and so I think that'll be
Speaker 1: a fun one to watch.
Speaker 2: So I'm going Cooper Flag, I'm going Jase rich saying,
Speaker 2: and I think.
Speaker 1: Johnny Broom, he's a fifth year senior at Auburn. I
Speaker 1: think he's an interesting watch. He's dominated college basketball this
Speaker 1: year and I think, you know now, he's going to.
Speaker 2: Keep playing at this level.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of scouts going to want
Speaker 1: to see how he performed in this tournament. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: seniors get a knock in the draft, although we've changed
Speaker 1: that a bit. Shout out to myself and the other
Speaker 1: seniors that's come in this league and created calls, have
Speaker 1: it and changed in that narrative a little bit. So
Speaker 1: I think Johnny Broom are the top three that I'm watching.
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag, Jas Richard and Johnny Broom. You took my
Speaker 1: Jace Richardson right there, that's my baby right there. Many
Speaker 1: that's nephew. Yes, yes, sir out here, you and Jay
Speaker 1: probably was on the same team when he was born.
Speaker 2: Huh. Let's see he was a yeah, ago, we are seven,
Speaker 2: that's we believe. Yep, yep, that's what. Yeah. No, I'm
Speaker 2: telling you. That was my little dude. After that.
Speaker 3: You know, I had no kids at the time, so
Speaker 3: like I used to always hang with with with Jay
Speaker 3: rich I called Jay rich the Don. I just hang
Speaker 3: with the Don and the baby dons. That fire the
Speaker 3: shout out to, uh, Jase. My other guy is Eric
Speaker 3: Daley Jr.
Speaker 2: Fire from u c l A.
Speaker 3: Talking about a dog, Uh, talking about somebody is skilled.
Speaker 3: I feel if coach just let him go right, if
Speaker 3: the coach just let him go and like, let him
Speaker 3: just beat a focal point on the offense.
Speaker 2: I think U c l A Is gonna be good.
Speaker 3: He's built for the NBA, and as we've seen, U
Speaker 3: c l A makes great, great, great professional athletes.
Speaker 2: Even that, I like this guy, Mark Sears. Oh yeah, Alabama, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I want to see what he do. He's explosive.
Speaker 3: First of all, he's their motor right, and you know,
Speaker 3: I just I just like I like how you get down.
Speaker 3: He's smooth, he efficient, he can score the rock. I
Speaker 3: want to see what he do. I want to see
Speaker 3: what Alabama does because this is the first time I
Speaker 3: think that the Alabama basketball is ranked higher than Alabama football.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the first time in a long time. That's
Speaker 2: a fact. I like that list. I like that list
Speaker 2: at TNB seven seven seven.
Speaker 1: What is the biggest problem with the current system in
Speaker 1: college basketball?
Speaker 2: I think number one Rance.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's talking about all the transfer portal and
Speaker 1: the nil and all of that stuff, and that's fine,
Speaker 1: but I think the way the game is officiated in
Speaker 1: college basketball makes it boring.
Speaker 2: You can't plays, you can't guard the post.
Speaker 1: The rules of college basketball need to get closer to
Speaker 1: the rules of the NBA, because I think some of
Speaker 1: the rules of college basketball creates a disservice for guys
Speaker 1: coming into the NBA.
Speaker 2: And so that's what I think is most wrong with
Speaker 2: the system is.
Speaker 1: The way the referees referee the game, the way they
Speaker 1: call the game, the way you have to guard.
Speaker 2: I think it sucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it is it's officiating because the
Speaker 3: games are just drawn out. And then I also think
Speaker 3: a lot of it is I'm not mad at the
Speaker 3: transfer portal right because I'm still filling out a bracket.
Speaker 3: It's still U c l A Online. I still love
Speaker 3: my Bruins, and I'm still watching young talent go places
Speaker 3: and flourish. Now some of these coaches need to go
Speaker 3: sit their ass down because they don't know what they're
Speaker 3: doing and they recruiting the wrong guys and not really
Speaker 3: building up programs. When you think of somebody like Cali
Speaker 3: Perry when he was doing one and dones, he was
Speaker 3: still building up the program for guys to come in
Speaker 3: and be one and done. Now everybody is looking at
Speaker 3: how can we get guys to come in for one
Speaker 3: year and do something at my school? Turn my school
Speaker 3: around and it's just not the same. It's not the
Speaker 3: same pedigree, right, It's just like a meat market for
Speaker 3: you know, kids being here one day leaving the next day.
Speaker 3: You know, like there's no adversity or loyalty. And so
Speaker 3: now you're gonna get a lot of these young kids
Speaker 3: coming out of high school that are talented, that need
Speaker 3: to grow and develop.
Speaker 2: It's going to take them two or three years to
Speaker 2: find the right place.
Speaker 3: A lot of it is, you know, coaching and building
Speaker 3: up a program, and you know, not every coach to
Speaker 3: be going after one and does right.
Speaker 2: The more coaches even for a lot of these.
Speaker 3: Like the men majors are killing right now, and the
Speaker 3: bigger universities are struggling because they just keep playing with
Speaker 3: the NIL stuff instead of like a Michigan State, stick
Speaker 3: to the system, build a program for sure.
Speaker 2: Missions is definitely doing that. Always NIL is not affecting y'all.
Speaker 3: Right, Like ISO is going to take chances on kids
Speaker 3: that fit his program, you know. And now there's an
Speaker 3: untitled wave of kids coming in with parents and managers
Speaker 3: sometimes telling these coaches what they are and are not
Speaker 3: going to do, and then when they get there, they
Speaker 3: don't see success they.
Speaker 1: Out the middle of the year. Yep, yep, No, that's
Speaker 1: a fact. And like you said, you just don't learn
Speaker 1: how to grow through adversity. I think another thing is
Speaker 1: I think somebod these smaller schools, the whole system need
Speaker 1: to be reworked.
Speaker 2: Some of these smaller schools.
Speaker 1: Like in professional soccer, you know how you can out
Speaker 1: a player, or you can sell a player and not
Speaker 1: sell the player because that sounds bad, but.
Speaker 2: You receive a fee if some player.
Speaker 1: I think some of these smaller schools that are getting
Speaker 1: these guys into these positions to then go to bigger
Speaker 1: schools and make nil money, they should receive a feed
Speaker 1: from these bigger schools as well. And that's how you
Speaker 1: can still kind of keep the playing field somewhat level,
Speaker 1: get some money into some of these smaller schools pockets
Speaker 1: that don't have the resources to have in IL. I
Speaker 1: think that's the way we reward them for their recruiting.
Speaker 1: They recruit good talent, they build up their development, they
Speaker 1: develop good talent, and then that talent goes somewhere else
Speaker 1: to a bigger school for more in IL money. That
Speaker 1: school should have to pay that school some money. I
Speaker 1: think that needs to go into effect. And then also
Speaker 1: lastly stop acknowledging this amateur basketball. It is no longer
Speaker 1: amateur basketball. This is no longer amateur sports. This say
Speaker 1: is professional sports and they need to address it life
Speaker 1: as such.
Speaker 3: David gt G eight, how do you guys see the
Speaker 3: future of the.
Speaker 2: NBA being even more international?
Speaker 3: Or are the college seeds that are going Are these
Speaker 3: college seeds that are coming in and going.
Speaker 2: To take over? Look, the game is getting better, the
Speaker 2: game is evolving.
Speaker 3: Like, man, we just talked about k Cunningham, right, we
Speaker 3: just talked about Austin Reeves.
Speaker 2: Right, Cooper Flag is up next.
Speaker 3: You got the kid AJ going to Utah, Right, you
Speaker 3: got Jason of Michigan State.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: You are always going to get a new wave of
Speaker 3: personalities and talent in the league. Obviously the league is
Speaker 3: very international now, I think you will find more international
Speaker 3: games activities, maybe even a tournament, maybe even the Commissioner's
Speaker 3: Cup may wind up Internet national. But I definitely see
Speaker 3: the future of the league, you know, expanding into more
Speaker 3: of a global games, right, Like there could potentially be
Speaker 3: a global NBA games at one point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think at some point you see a team
Speaker 1: in London. I think at some point, you know, you
Speaker 1: start to see that as well, so the game will
Speaker 1: definitely continue.
Speaker 2: It's happening.
Speaker 1: Mexico City, say these things, Mexico City, I'm with that.
Speaker 2: London, these things are happening. I'm telling you, it's happening.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: For a New York team to fly to London is
Speaker 1: no different than flying in la you know, and so
Speaker 1: what what what's the challenge of that is figuring out
Speaker 1: the TV schedule of it, right like that, That's the
Speaker 1: challenging part of it. But nonetheless, I think that's coming
Speaker 1: at some point or another within the next ten years.
Speaker 1: But the game will continue to go more international because
Speaker 1: the game is growing all over the world. Players are
Speaker 1: getting better, and then you know, there's a case to
Speaker 1: be made that international basketball prepares you more for NBA
Speaker 1: in college.
Speaker 2: There's a case to be made on that.
Speaker 1: Now. I don't think the talent level has equaled out yet.
Speaker 1: There's still more talent in America than there is worldwide.
Speaker 1: But I think as far as the preparation goes, I
Speaker 1: think that we're starting to see the international game and
Speaker 1: the rules that these guys grow up playing as probably
Speaker 1: better suiting for the NBA game than the college game
Speaker 1: because some of those rules are just trash. So we'll
Speaker 1: still have a mixture of both. But I think you'll
Speaker 1: start to see more and more international guys. But you
Speaker 1: can never get rid of This's our sport. You're never
Speaker 1: going to get rid of us. That's just what it is.
Speaker 1: Last one at Rory three thousand, Baron, I know you
Speaker 1: make music, so I wanted to get your reaction on
Speaker 1: all these Lebron James R and B songs coming out.
Speaker 2: They got a little good gone reason run. I have
Speaker 2: not heard the roncast, but this is hard. He got
Speaker 2: the Michael Jackson sample. That's ship you know, hey, that's
Speaker 2: my one of my favorite songs all time in life.
Speaker 3: Man in the Mirror dude, and he raged remix sample
Speaker 3: around and the Lakers a good idea.
Speaker 2: But you can't come on, man, don't do my boy
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson like that. It was flying. It was fly though.
Speaker 3: When I don't do come on man, let Michael left.
Speaker 3: Michael Jackson Man in the Mirror have a song local
Speaker 3: space sheesh, oh man, get at me.
Speaker 2: That's a rap. The volume
