Summary
Minutes before the season premiere of the final season of Game of Thrones started Sunday night, LSU announced Will Wade had been reinstated to his post. So Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander start there, then lay out how this could still go wrong -- or, in a long shot, right -- for LSU and Wade. From there, the guys talk the shocking transfer decisions from Sam and Joey Hauser (23:00), who are leaving Marquette and thus tanking the Golden Eagles' 2019-20 stock. The guys get some trivia time in, look back on their preseason player rankings, then talk about Cincinnati hiring John Brannen (41:00) over Nick Van Exel and Darren Savino.

| 0:12.2 | Ion College basketball podcast, where we sometimes discuss camel fighting and leaky black |
| 0:16.2 | Matt Norlander is here with me and we're now a little over a week removed from the end |
| 0:20.8 | of the college basketball season. Norlander, have you settled into your offseason life just |
| 0:25.8 | yet if things calm for you at all? Work wise they've calmed a bit, family wise I mean |
| 0:32.9 | I'm battling a cold so I might be a slight bit nasally here. We'll take this normally |
| 0:37.4 | like the past three years I've actually gotten a cold at the final four. I dodged that |
| 0:41.1 | ironically in the coldest of all spots so dealing with that and then the kids my baby |
| 0:48.6 | is also as a cold like me but yeah we're settling. Although you know it's you really |
| 0:54.6 | kind of you don't necessarily ease into it because season ends and listen all these kids |
| 1:01.3 | transferring which we're obviously going to get to draft decisions like you know thankfully |
| 1:06.0 | we don't and shouldn't have to write about all these decisions but it now compared to |
| 1:10.2 | six seven years ago GP from transfer decisions that get made in the month of April and then |

| 1:24.0 | that's probably a good thing and then obviously we still have coaching stuff that we're keeping |
| 1:27.0 | an eye out on. We still have I think like ten jobs still have to technically close so yeah |
| 1:32.7 | it's slowed a little bit but I'm happy to be talking to you again and podcasting we are |
| 1:37.4 | not short on discussion topics that's for sure. Now from my perspective the only decisions |
| 1:43.1 | on transfers or MBA draft stuff that matter are decisions that are surprising like it |
| 1:51.6 | doesn't really matter to me that yesterday Zion Williamson announced that he's entering |
