| 0:00.0 | What is going on, y'all? It is not another edition of the flagship podcast. Again, it is another Horns 24-7 YouTube exclusive Eric Henry of Horns 24-7, joined again by Isaac Trotter. He is CBS Sports. He's CBS Sports and 24-7 Sports National College basketball. |
| 0:19.7 | You can find him on Twitter or at X, |
| 0:22.0 | whatever you prefer to call it nowadays, at Isaac double underscore, not just one, double underscore |
| 0:26.7 | Trotter. Isaac, what's going on, my man? Doing well. Yeah, someone stole my first underscore. So I'm still, |
| 0:31.9 | like, not over it. But the portal just closed earlier this week. I'm not really expecting many more names uh now we can |
| 0:39.9 | kind of get into seeing how these rosters are built and i am two weeks away from potentially |
| 0:44.1 | going on vacation that would be enormous after uh the sprint that is uh the rest of the season |
| 0:49.9 | and then all of uh all a portal month badness you and me both brother trust me vacation cannot come |
| 0:56.4 | soon enough but still plenty to dive into until we can step away from these laptops and the phones |

Yeah, both those guys are playable. I think they're instant impact rotation staples from day one. I think one of them will start. I kind of |
| 2:19.5 | think it will be Elijah Freeman, but I think both of them just kind of fill the gaps of what they |
