Welcome back to another episode of the three-man weave college basketball podcast.

That's right. It's been two weeks, but that's kind of maybe going to be a little closer

to our off-season cadence. And we really had to gear up for this episode that is, oops, all portal. So we're going to do a little bit of Roots Roundup, but we're going to talk a lot of portal. I'm Jim Roost. Jim Roost. I'm Jim Rooster. Cock and Doodle Do, I'm your host for this episode. I'm joined through the magic of Zoom by Matt Cox and Kai McEwen from their abodes in Chicago. Kai, I'm going to start with you. You laughed at my little rooster misstep. How are you doing over there? Jim, I'm fine. I'm the cock of the walk. I'm going to start calling you Jim Rooster, actually. That's a hilarious nickname. It's good to be back podcasting with you guys. We did it every single day during the actual season of college basketball. And now, Matt, our cadence a little bit spread out. It is going to see your faces again. Yeah, lesson through is about the face thing. But hey, I'll just add to the, you call me Maddie Gamecox, Jim, Jimmy Roost and Maddie Gamecox. Kind of a seamless transition to maybe talking about Frank Martin

on this episode, no longer the coach at South Carolina,

now at UMS, but yes, Jim, a lot of portal probes today. I did some homework.

I had been slacking on my research.

I crammed like an AP exam of sorts.

Yeah, for the how it pans out.

I maintain our roster, Google She of all 350, now 3652 teams, I think.

Stop adding to our own little portal.

Keep some personal ratings.

It is top secret, though.

So that is not revealed to the public.

But yeah, we are talking portal. We're going to talk some of the winners, the losers, might have some disagreements within the crew on who has won and who has lost. So we will get to that. Again, after a little bit of Roots Roundup, first a shout out to J. Pity, aka Joe Pascov, who I did have a fun weekend with here in Vegas. We went to a pool, hung out, met his lovely girlfriend.

So turns out Joe's game in the system in the sports betting industry.

So I think I need to talk to him a little more about his approach out there.

He's gaming the system, Jim.

Kai, he's legal.

He's legally gaming it. Well, how about that? Well, good for Joe. Kai, he's legal. It's, he's legally gaming it.

Well, how about that? Well, good for Jeff. So, so he's a better sports better than us and he's a world-class DJ. And he's a cooler, better-looking guy. Tough to look yourself from the mirror, knowing that Jay Pity, just is dominating us in life right now, Kai. Yeah, world-class DJ and incredible pianist, Matthew.

He has seen him before.

I did.
