On this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio, we debate Ryan’s oft-uttered assertion that Indiana might actually be better next season than they will be this season. Plus, we discuss the NBA’s big announcement from Thursday and Coach K’s asinine comments regarding what we’re learning about how high-level college basketball recruiting really works.
On the mics this week: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan.

This week’s rundown
In Segment One [2:20], Jerod discusses the importance of Romeo and Juwan both being listed among the top 50 players in the nation in CBS Sports’ Top 101 players in college basketball, Andy and Ryan provide their opening remarks, and then we discuss the NBA’s new initiative to offer elite high school seniors a path to professional basketball through the G-League.
In Segment Two [17:00], we take Coach K and Roy Williams to task for outright lying to college basketball fans everywhere in their comments this week about the FBI case. And yes, Ryan goes another Coach K rant.
In Segment Three [26:14], we use a listener email as a jumping off point for a new segment that Jerod and Andy are calling “Ryan’s Being Stupid Again,” but that Ryan refuses to recognize. Regardless, the listener takes Ryan to task for his assertion that Indiana might actually be better next year than this year. Ryan makes some compelling arguments, but Jerod and Andy aren’t totally buying it, so they debate.
In Segment Four [41:14], we answer your questions — and we roll through a lot of them.
• What would surprise us most if does/doesn’t happen this season?
• How many wins will it take to win the Big Ten this season?
• How does this year’s team compare to the 2007-08 team when you start going player-by-player down the roster?
• When will Trayce Jackson-Davis announce his decision?
• What is something we are really looking forward to about the upcoming season that we haven’t talked about much yet this offseason?
All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.
