Summary

With the tournament not tipping off again until Saturday, we have a special Friday edition of the Aaron Torres Podcast. Aaron previews all the Sweet 16 games this weekend and also looks ahead to a wild off-season - by ranking the 15 best players currently in college basketball's transfer portal right now. Here's a rundown: Previewing all the Sweet 16 games: Aaron opens the show by giving a full rundown of all this weekend's Sweet 16 games (3:30). He starts with Saturday's games in the South and Midwest, where he wonders if Sister Jean's magic runs out this weekend, if Oral Roberts really has a chance against Arkansas, if Baylor is back and why Syracuse and Houston will be the most interesting game - even if it might be the most boring too. He then transitions to Sunday's games (16:00), where Gonzaga tries to stay undefeated, where Florida State-Michigan might be the game of the weekend, Alabama looks to roll past UCLA and we get a Pac-12 late night tilt with USC vs. Oregon. The 15 best players currently in the transfer portal: Next, Aaron transitions to discussing what is becoming an increasingly important topic - that is college basketball's transfer portal (30:00). He explains why this is destined to be the craziest year - and maybe the craziest year ever - for the portal, thanks to a number of rules changes. And from there, gets to the 15 best players in the transfer portal and where they are being projected to land. Don't worry, we'll be covering the transfer portal all off-season long on the Aaron Torres Pod!
