Joining us right now on the Bet-QL guest hotline is Gary Parish College Basketball

columnist sideline reporter for CBS Sports.

What's up Gary?

Thanks for joining us.

Oh, it's my pleasure. How you guys said?

Gary, how many mop drafts have you put out?

I know you did your latest one was, I don't know, three, four days ago, but how many total?

Yeah, I'm not sure the number but it dates

back literally to the day after the 2023 NBA draft we start early and then you

just update consistently you, maybe once a month throughout the season and now the orders from above it's like we want one new one every week until we get the draft done. So obviously, you know, there's a big market for this stuff.

I can't tell you why people click on it over and over and over again,

but the data is pretty clear, so the editors say,

keep them coming.

So that's all we talked about. I mean you're not an NFL guy, but you know since Jaden Daniel was was picked

two by Washington, that's all we did was look at mock drafts for weeks.

Oh yeah, and like you said you're you're putting one out every

you know a few days or every week too so how does your what what's interesting

about it because like I am somebody who does these mock graphs have a lot of different jobs as you guys know but then I also like you know host a two hour show every single day where I'm talking about a lot of the same things you guys are talking about and it never is lost on me how many words we spend all of us on these things that just never actually materialize or talk about people who we will never actually talk about again.

It's so funny like leading into every draft I'm talking about this player and

talking about this player and talking about this player.

Then he gets picked and I look up a year later and I don't even know where he's at what he's doing or how much he's playing they really do largely just disappear just as soon as they're selected.

It's so crazy so a year ago I'm just curious who was the odds on favorite to go one a year ago
