Summary
Straight from Norlander's hotel room, it's another face-to-face episode of the pod. Parrish and Norlander open with some unanticipated thoughts on things tangentially related to the Nike Peach Jam -- including a fun blind item about a coach -- then get into why coaches are still not satisfied with the current recruiting calendar (16:00) and what won't be done about it. From there, Norlander gets into the story of 15-year-old Emoni Bates (39:00), who is regarded by many as the most talented player in high school, regardless of age, and yet only has scholarship offers from Michigan State and Florida State. Will he ever play in college? Turns out, it's completely plausible. The guys close on NC State receiving its Notice of Allegations (58:00) earlier in the week, and discuss which school should be next and what punishment the NCAA could fairly dole out.

| 0:11.7 | Eye on College basketball podcast where we sometimes discuss camera fighting and |
| 0:15.8 | leaky black Matt Norlander is here with me. We are both in Augusta, Georgia just across |
| 0:20.8 | the river from beautiful north Augusta, South Carolina with a 24th annual Nike Peach |
| 0:26.9 | Jam is still taking place. We've both been here since Wednesday. We both spent the |
| 0:31.2 | past three days watching basketball and talking to basketball coaches. Now we're |
| 0:35.3 | talking to each other after a nice meal at Frog Hollow last night. Norlander. |
| 0:40.8 | Yeah. How are you recovering from your nice meal? |
| 0:42.8 | Frog Hollow last night. I'm recovering nice. The Mac and cheese appetizer was good. |
| 0:46.6 | Yeah, that's a good little spot there in Augusta. That's our favorite. If we're |
| 0:50.1 | giving out Yelp recommendations on the podcast, our favorite place to eat a |
| 0:55.6 | nice meal in Augusta, Georgia is Frog Hollow. It is. That is a legit place there. |
| 1:01.1 | Very much enjoyed that now face to face again. It's nice to be here. We removed from the |
| 1:05.5 | from the post draft podcast. Let the record show I walk to your hotel this morning. |
| 1:09.4 | You didn't walk to mine. Let the record show I brought the podcast equipment. Got the microphones |
| 1:13.6 | this time in Augusta. So we're going to do this. Yes, thank you for all the work. |
| 1:16.7 | It's a hard walk because in some places when you walk outside, it looks very normal. Like |
| 1:22.5 | if you're just walking around downtown of basically any major city, it looks normal. |
| 1:27.7 | There's other people walking around. The walk from my hotel to your hotel doesn't look normal. |
| 1:33.9 | It looks like your car broke down and you're walking and you're walking down this road that |
| 1:38.1 | nobody else is walking down. And because we're in like a cluster of hotels, I can just |
