Hey there, it's Gary Parrish. It's Wednesday, October 12th. And this is the Ion College

Basketball Podcast. I got Matt Norlander with me and the college basketball season tips

exactly one month from yesterday. Can't get here soon enough, far as I'm concerned. Not

a whole lot happening this week, which is why I repeat cannot get here soon enough. But

Kentucky, you know, they did hold their pro days on Sunday and Monday in Lexington on

and being a higher draft pick overall. If I was saying who would be more valuable, it

would be Fox for a number of reasons one. He's going to have the ball in his hands more.
