SEGMENT ONE: THE MEETING, DISCUSSED
The news that Jim Harbaugh is, as anticipated, sitting down with Warde Manuel to discuss contract terms elicited more of a fan reaction than we expected. What, if anything, should we take out of this? Yes, this could be a real extension offer; it could also be a continuation of talks intended to slowly push Harbaugh out the door. We don’t know!
SEGMENT TWO: RECRUITING BY POSITION GROUP
While occasionally getting into the specifics, we do our best to cover the thousand-foot view of the 2021 recruiting class, assessing the strength of each position group and our overall thoughts on the class. Also, our thoughts on how a better-than-anticipated Signing Day should impact the Harbaugh talks. (Short answer: not much.)
SEGMENT THREE: HOOPS WSG ALEX COOK
Alex and I take the chance during this hoops hiatus of sorts to discuss impressions on the team thus far, Hunter Dickinson, the backup center situation, Hunter Dickinson, potential developments in the rotations, Hunter Dickinson, updated expectations for the season, and Hunter Dickinson.
Songs:
- Andrew Bird — “Banking on a Myth”
