| 0:00.0 | Hey there. I am Gary Parrish. Welcome back to CBS Sports. I own college basketball podcast where we sometimes discuss |
| 0:21.5 | camel fighting. Dodo birds and leaky black. Matt Norlander is here with me. If you're watching |
| 0:26.5 | on YouTube, only one great way to honor Brandon Davy, smash that like button. And if you haven't |
| 0:31.1 | yet, subscribe to the I own college basketball podcast. Shame on you, but you can fix that by doing it |
| 0:36.1 | wherever you listen to podcasts, |
| 0:42.6 | like Spotify and Apple. Let's get into it. As of midnight last night, the transfer portal is closed. We will get to that eventually, but the place to start is in Gainesville, where |
| 0:47.8 | Thomas Howe has announced that he will return to Florida for his senior season, despite |
| 0:52.6 | being projected as a possible lottery pick in the |
| 0:55.5 | 2006 NBA draft. As always, money got it done. The numbers are reportedly big. There are no |
| 1:02.6 | rules in college basketball. Florida is now number one in the top 25 and 1 based on the idea that |
| 1:08.0 | the gators are going to return six of the top seven scores from a team that won the SEC outright by three games and secured a number one seed in the 2006 NCAA tournament. |
| 1:20.6 | Norlander, it is good to see you on a Wednesday morning. |
| 1:23.3 | Thomas Halk has pulled a Brayland Mullins and declined to be a first round pick so that he could return to college basketball for lots of money and another shot at a national championship slash final for your thoughts on that development. |
| 1:35.2 | Yeah, how about this? |
| 1:36.2 | We've got, you know, Mullins was one thing. |
| 1:39.0 | I wasn't convinced Mullins would be a top 20 pick, almost definitely I think a first rounder but could |
| 1:44.7 | have been anywhere in that you know 20 23 to 30 range overall how I think I think his best case |
| 1:52.1 | scenario was like 12 and I think his absolute floor was 20 you know probably likely would |
| 1:58.3 | have ended somewhere in that 15 to 18 range. And here we have |
| 2:03.7 | a true rare instance. And I don't know if we've had more than a pair of these in the past |
| 2:10.7 | seven or eight years. I'd actually have to look, GP, someone who was reasonably considered to be a lottery pick. |
| 2:19.4 | Not a guarantee. |
