Mid-Summer is here.

Thick of the off season is back.

And yes, summer shoot-around time has returned here on the Ion College

Basketball podcast. We did a thing a year ago where we did this PSA and it was me and GP going

back and forth. Maybe it was scripted. Maybe it was off the top of our head. Regardless,

he has already left for a vacation. I am not bothering this man to do this PSA about the

shootaround. So you're getting me solo. I'll make it quick here.

We are doing 15 predetermined programs and we will have three auctions with all of the money

raised for those auction episodes going to charity. So if you're a fan of one of these 15 schools,

guess what? Good news. You're going to have a special summer shootaround episode landing at some

point over the next six weeks in this feed.

In fact, a couple of those are coming in just a few days.

If you do not hear your name of your school mention here upcoming, then rally your friends.

And we will send you the link for the auction early and often in August.

We'll make you all too aware. Those are always fun ones to do.

But here are the ones that are definitely on the books.

Arizona, Arkansas, Yukon, Duke, Illinois, Florida, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan State,

Michigan, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vanderbilt, and Virginia.

Those 15 are automatic, and then we will do three more additional bonus episodes.

It doesn't matter how big the school is, how small the school is.

It's got to be a men's Division I program.

And yes, like usual, like always, all of the money that is raised goes directly to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. So happy to have you back on board. We will have a couple of coaching interviews, including our first episode, which is coming later this week. But then we'll bring in some special guests. And GP and I, of course, we'll combo up for some of these as well.
