Spoke to a NBA scout today. His job right now is to scout late 1st to mid 2nd Rd prospects.
Asked what he was working on, he said a 15min edit of players walking back to the bench & bad body language.
I asked if that was really necessary. There was a long pause... “100% Yes”.

- Hey @LeBatardShow, I did a thing, hope you like it. It’s the show within the broadcast. (I’m really just trying to @stugotz790 my way to the top).
00:00 - Yo! @LeBatardShow fans!... Here’s more of the show within the show within the broadcast for you guys. Some special @gregcote love mixed with a @MichaelRyanRuiz all-timer. Hope you enjoy it.
00:00 - I’m the analyst alongside @PMTsportsbiz for the Sunshine Slam (Penn St, Clemson, San Francisco, Fordham). I’ve listened to your work Jake. You’re great. You’re going to crush it & and we’re going to have a blast. Hey Barstool fans, what do I need to be prepared for?Thanks for the support, Vinny. Back on the call this weekend for FAU (D1) vs. Bethune-Cookman (D1). The week after that, we’ve got Penn State (D1), Clemson (D1), Fordham (D1), and San Francisco (D1). Always willing to get some reps at the DIII level as well!
- Updated video with the Jefe LOUR love. Don’t know what happened with the earlier @LeBatardShow vid... I’m an idiot I guess... Here’s $2 and I’ll go walk in the ocean. It was great Rockin with you on a Wednesday... on Sunday. Love you all.

00:51A little bit of an E3 glitch, but a valiant @LeBatardShow effort. Jefe from the LOUR gets some love as promised so @MichaelRyanRuiz doesn’t get angry. - Tamin Lipsey does not get talked about enough. Toughness, leadership, defense, vision… all elite. Easily one of the best point guards in college basketball.Tamin Lipsey in Iowa State's win: — 25 PTS — 6 ASTS — 1 REB — 3 STLS — 1 BLK — 9/17 FG — 2/5 3P — 5/6 FT
- Iowa is at least the 3rd best team in college hoops: - 3 wins over Top 25 teams last 4 games - Luka Garza is quietly getting 27ppg - @JordanBo_3 last 4 games = 18ppg, 6apg, 63% from 3 *Nobody likes to talk about how good the defense has been* @IowaHoops is a Final Four team.
- The college basketball transfer portal should not open until after the Final Four.
- Jabari Smith is a future lottery pick & already a star for the @AuburnMBB. But I was blown away with his humility & focused demeanor. 1 of the nicest guys I have ever spoken with. @jabarismithll spent all his time praising his teammates & his love for Auburn. Kid is special.
- Please share this. A powerful gesture by @ecubasketball. The mother of grad asst @robbylund4 is going through severe stage 4 cancer treatment. The entire team surprised him by wearing “I ❤️ Judy Lund” t-shirts at shoot-around. Robby had no idea. This was his reaction. @espn
- First time at the legendary Hilton Coliseum. Home of @CycloneMBB. You can feel Hilton Magic as soon as you walk in. Phenomenal venue.
- Just got word that Emmanuel Sharp had the best conditioning/off-season of his life… shed 10lbs! Freshman Kingston Flemings played his senior year of HS at 165lbs… he will be tipping off the season at 190lbs! That doesn’t happen by accident. The @UHCougarMBK culture is ELITE
00:00 - Unsung heroes of college basketball season: SIDs Athletic trainers DOBO’s I raise a glass, tip the hat, & salute you all. Remarkable job. Thank you. @CoSIDAnews @RisingCoaches
