Thanks Bunnie. Jim knows his stuff.

Once the season gets rolling, Jim Meehan is typically on Larry's podcast once a week. Usually Mondays.

Jim Meehan was back on today at about 11 minutes in to discuss Zag basketball again.

Larry Weir's podcast on the 20th is spent primarily with Sam Adams from SWX, a local, sports station affiliated with covering GU. Sam sometimes fills in for Greg Heister on local broadcasts of both men's and women's basketball games on KHQ/ROOT. Larry and Sam spend about 7 minutes talking about the Zags starting about the 28 minute mark where Larry asks for Sam's take on this year's team.

Thanks for posting. Biggest takeaways for me:
- Zakharov reclassified from 2020 to 2019 so both he and Ballo are young frosh...like Ayayi was.
- Woolridge apparently not yet 100% healthy and recovered from injury; prediction that Ayayi and Gilder will start w Gilder likely to lead team in mpg
- Chet Holmgren wants to be a little and has expressed desire to attend a college program that runs 4 out or even 5 out offensive sets. Style of play likened to Kevin Durant’s...not a low post player.

Only 3 days until Kraziness! We should hear some good feedback from attendees.

Oumar turned 17 in July and Pavel turned 18 in May, so Pavel is actually 14 months older than Oumar. Turning 18 in May would be pretty normal for a 2019 high school grad, I thinks it's more to do with him being from Russia that he was going to be a 2020 recruit, not age related. Ayayi was 17 and didnt turn 18 until March of his freshman season, so he was actually about 10 months younger than Pavel will be for his frosh year.

Thanks for posting. Biggest takeaways for me:
- Zakharov reclassified from 2020 to 2019 so both he and Ballo are young frosh...like Ayayi was. - interesting for how we see the young players doing in high level D1
- Woolridge apparently not yet 100% healthy and recovered from injury; prediction that Ayayi and Gilder will start w Gilder likely to lead team in mpg - that sucks. We need the leadership and experience on the court an upperclassman brings
- Chet Holmgren wants to be a little and has expressed desire to attend a college program that runs 4 out or even 5 out offensive sets. Style of play likened to Kevin Durant’s...not a low post player.Reminiscent of Kelly. Not exactly GU style of ball so maybe his mindset needs to adjust. Not too many big time programs are going to run 4 or 5 out.
