It's Jeremy Warner, and there's a lot to talk about in college basketball.

0:48.0

We figured, let's bring on our guy, Isaac Trotter.

0:50.2

Isaac, we're going to break down a dream class, potentially.

0:53.4

You're going to break down some transfer targets for Illinois basketball. But we got to talk about the national championship game. We've got to talk about the Kentucky job opening. But first of all, how are you, man? I'm doing well. Yeah, it's been a long month, a long couple months here, but there's no offseason in college basketball. And, you know, that's the best part of the time of the year, right? When you have just an insane tournament and then you hit the portal and what do we got, 1500 names.

Like Tristan Newton, maybe a little high major transfer like Cam Spencer, maybe a little big-time

2:08.3

recruiting, getting top 50 guys in, maybe a top five-star and Steph Castle.

2:11.9

It's just like this perfect mix that's all come together.

2:15.1

And I think they're a really good blueprint to try to

2:17.7

follow. It's easier said than done of just like trying to build teams that are just so well-rounded,

2:22.3

just elite and transition offense, elite rebounding team. Can you defend the rim? Can you have those

2:27.1

big guards? It's like they just had a lot of answers to the test and no one could touch them.
