David ... great guest.

[@paulkersey820]

Excellent guest in Borges! I really hope people continue to support the show so it can grow. Other than the content, the greatest selling points are a lack of interrupting and yelling like you get with other sports outlets.

[@LockedOnUConn]

Supports been great!

[@willmorrisusa]

They could go Big with Reed at C , Samson & Karaban at Forwards , Jaylin Stewart at SG & Hassan or Mahaney at Point Guard !

[@prettyridesmedia]

They have about 7/8 😊pros on the team … Hurley recruiting and building up his type players

[@Bobbarker23455]

Jeff Adrian and rod sellers all day as bodyguards

[@LockedOnUConn]

Toraino Walker in the mix too. That was my guy

[@paulkersey820]

Which one is the bouncer and which one is the cooler?

[@willmorrisusa]

This is Great ! Coach Hurley all Crazy-Eyed & Screaming at the Top of his Lungs ! ! 😂

[@BlyGuy]

Can someone please explain to me how Reed Sheppard is rated higher on numerous draft boards than Castle?
Castle is taller, longer, better defender, and was way more upside as a 6'6'' future pg. Not to mention, if Castle and Sheppard were matched up head to head, doesn't it seem a lot more likely that Castle wins that matchup than vice versa?

[@LockedOnUConn]

I can not. I do know that Shep had a great combine so that helps. Castle is the better NBA ready player from the jump

[@paulkersey820]

@@LockedOnUConn agree with everything said here. Draft boards are notoriously inaccurate.

Dave is great
