Hey, and welcome back to the Wolverine Live. I am John Borton, and you know him. He's Tom Crawford.

He's the guy that gets on press pass with Jack Ebling and others like our mutual friend, who is still living in 2015.

That would be Rico Beard.

He likes to haunt over a certain last play of the game.

It helps him ignore recent results in this Michigan-Mishkin State series.

But anyway, Tom Crawford also has his own podcasting. Network does his own thing.

And Tom, great to have you back talking michigan basketball

football and a little bit of hockey it's always it's always there's never a dull moment with uh intercollegiate

athletics right now the way things are going with nilil transfer portal and um you know coaching

rumors here and there.

And it's just constantly moving parts.

And, you know, it's hard to really get a grasp of how who's going to be good next year.

In basketball in particular, I think football is pretty solid.

And but I've never imagined if you would have asked me if the path of of college basketball,

would it go this complete duplication of professional sports free agency as what college

basketball is right now?

This is crazy.

I can't keep up with it.

And it's like, here's what it is,

John. It's like when they, when you do, if you're calling a game as a play-by-play or an analyst, you're constantly saying, well, that's so-and-so. He formerly played at Oregon and at Furman

before his stop here at Duke or whatever, the net fill in the blank. I mean, it's crazy what's going on.

Yeah. Oh, there's no question about it. Who, if you're a Michigan basketball fan, who, how could you have imagined after like one year when Hunter Dickinson was, okay, is he going to be a one and done?
