Beyond The Arc with Brandon Silvers

To call the 2025 South Carolina Baseball season a disappointment would be an understatement. The once-proud program fell flat on its face after an offseason of optimism about the hiring of Paul Mainieri. However, what if Mainieri was responsible for this season's failures? Brett Gosnell joins me to break down all of the news that broke regarding what went wrong this baseball season, why Mainieri is to blame, and what it means for the program moving forward!Want more of what I'm doing?

Coach Herbert Johnson and I have spent HOURS on the phone trying to figure out how track and field can crack the mainstream in the United States, so why not bring the conversation to you? Grand Slam Track is trying to do just that, and while we respect the effort, we need to discuss where they are missing the mark! What's worked, what hasn't, and where has the criticism been unfair? For more from Coach Johnson:Check out his YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@HJTFA-HJTFACheck out his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/HJTFACADEMY/Want more of what I'm doing?

James Paige of Turn The Paige Travel joins me to touch on all of the talking points from the 2025 NFL Draft! We start on ESPN's lack of enthusiasm about the Titans' selection of Cam Ward #1 overall. Then, we discuss the blockbuster trade that brought Heisman winner Travis Hunter to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Will Hunter continue to play both sides of the ball in the NFL? And, of course, we have to cover the Shedeur Sanders Saga! We also talk about our favorite picks, try to figure out what some teams were thinking, and how many dead animals did Quinn Ewers have in his home? Plus, James shares some of the sports travel packages his company is offering, including a trip to the Super Bowl!

We just survived an NFL Draft that nearly killed pumpkin pie aficionado Mel Kiper Jr. Very little was said about #1 overall pick Cam Ward…is that because being picked first isn't all it's cracked up to be? Why hasn't a #1 pick made the Pro Hall of Fame since Peyton Manning? Let's figure it out as I look at every #1 pick from 1999 to 2013 to see how good they really were, what got in the way of their success, and who should have been picked instead! My 2025 NFL Draft Diary: https://theshownotes.beehiiv.com/p/2025-nfl-draft-diary Want more of what I'm doing?

David Harrison is back for this special episode as we look ahead at the NBA postseason! We start off looking at the big trade deadline moves to see how much of an effect they've had on the playoff picture. Has getting Luka Doncic really elevated the Lakers to a title contender? How has Jimmy Butler sparked the Warriors' hot 2nd half? How crucial were some of the smaller moves?Then, we talk through some of the big storylines from the post-All-Star break NBA. The Grizzlies and Nuggets fired their head coaches despite being in the thick of things. How will these moves help or hurt them this postseason? Also, Nikola Jokic became the 3rd player ever to average a triple-double for an entire season. Is that more about how much better he's gotten or how little help he has?We also try to figure out why nobody seems to believe in the Thunder or the Cavaliers despite their impressive seasons. And we try to figure out if there will be any surprises in the East! Tap in as we cover all of that and more! Want more of what I'm doing?

I'm running it back with Mike McGee as we recap what happened during the Final Four! How quickly did we start second-guessing our UCLA pick, how close was Texas to pulling off the upset, and how were we feeling heading into the UConn-South Carolina game?We break down what happened in the title game to let Paige Bueckers get her storybook ending in decisive fashion! We also try to put each Final Four team's season into context, no matter how disappointing it ended. From there, we move on to some of the splashier transfer portal moves of the week, including a classic Mike rant about the importance of the portal itself!Want more of what I'm doing?

March Madness has turned into April, and we are about to crown a national champion in college basketball! Level-headed women's basketball fan Mike McGee joins me to break down the matchups as we get ready for the Final Four!We go through both matchups and take a look at the path each team took to get here, how they matchup against each other, and what their keys to winning will be. We also dive into the storylines surrounding each team, including Paige Bueckers' potential storybook ending, putting some respect on Texas's name, the dynasty that Dawn built, and how we managed to overlook UCLA. Plus, we dispel some narratives and answer the age-old question of “how efficient is too efficient?”Want more of what I'm doing?

This is the most stacked women's basketball field in recent history, so I had to bring in a special guest to help me figure out who will survive and advance! Marke Freeman has had a successful career on the court, as a coach, and now as an analyst, and she came through to use her unique perspective to help me break down each and every game! We start with a look back at the first weekend of the tournament. We discuss the major takeaways, including the devastating injury to USC star JuJu Watkins. Was it a dirty play, or was it just an unfortunate reality of basketball? And how were the Lady Trojans able to regroup and come away with the win?Then, we go down the line and make our picks for every game! Marke provides her unique insight into how the SEC was able to send an NCAA-record tying 6 teams to the Sweet 16, why you should be pulling for Paige Bueckers, and how much not getting the #1 overall seed motivated Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks.

Former NBA 1st-round pick David Harrison comes through to talk about why he thinks the lack of post play in today's NBA could be why casual fans aren't as passionate about the game. We discuss the bigs he admired when he was growing up, what was going on in the paint when he was in the league, and when things started to shift to a more perimeter-oriented game for players of all sizes. David also tells me which current NBA big men are certified in the post and whether or not he thinks we'll see a return in back-to-the-basket play.  David also talks about his life, playing career, and what he's been up to since he stopped hooping. He tells me what it was like being involved in the Malice at the Palace just a handful of games into his career, why a coach drove him from the game, and how an article about a job he took didn't paint him in the best light. Most importantly, he talks about how he overcame it all to thrive today! Tap in!  Want more of what I'm doing?

With the basketball season underway, we're starting to get some answers to all of our offseason questions. One of the biggest questions for me is how will UConn star Paige Bueckers end her collegiate career. Former pro basketball player and current hoops analyst Ice Young comes through to help point me in the right direction and discuss all things Big East!  We start with the UConn Huskies! Geno Auriemma has had them on top of the women's basketball world for almost my entire lifetime, but injuries and increased parity have kept them from winning it all since 2016. Paige Bueckers has gotten them close a couple of times now, but this is her last chance to make it happen. Can she join the company of the elite Huskies who have come before her by winning a ring? While Paige is the centerpiece here, Ice explains why she's just as excited about the rest of this Huskies' roster. From star freshmen to star transfers to returning players, this team is loaded. How does everyone fit together and will it be enough to make up for the losses of Nika Muhl and Aaliyah Edwards? The Big East isn't all UConn though! The Creighton Bluejays have also made some March Madness noise in the past couple of seasons. They have a brutal non-conference schedule and have had a rocky start to the year. Why isn't Ice worried about them and why should you learn the name Lauren Jensen?  We finish up talking about some up-and-coming programs to keep an eye on! The Big East is a conference on the rise. Could a couple more teams find themselves playing in March? Also, long term, what's so exciting about the future of the conference? We cover a lot so you're going to want to tap in!  For more from Isis “Ice” Young:  -Threads: https://www.threads.net/@iceyoung23_ -The “Good Word with Goodwill” Podcast: https://sports.yahoo.com/videos/shows/good-word-with-goodwill/ -Your World Media: https://www.yourworldent.com/ Want more of what I'm doing?

I'm doubling down on my excitement for Big 12 women's basketball this year! Jamie Steyer Johnson is THE expert on Big 12 women's hoops, and she joins me to do a deep dive into how the conference will shake out this year.  We start with the Iowa State Cyclones. As the team's broadcaster and daughter of associate head coach Jodi Steyer, Jamie knows this program inside and out. She explains what it is about the culture that allowed the program to attract what might be the best transfer class in the Big 12. She also tells me what makes Emily Ryan so integral to the team both on and off the court.  We move on to Kansas State. I was incredibly optimistic in my solo preview about the Wildcats' chances to make a deep run in March. Unfortunately, star C Ayoka Lee is already experiencing a recurrence of her injury issues. What does the team's ceiling look like assuming we'll be seeing less of her this season and what does star PG Serena Sundell do for their floor?  Baylor is the most confusing top team in the conference. What's the cause of their consistency issues and what have they done to address them heading into this season? Jamie also explains why Colorado transfer Aaronette Vonleh might be her favorite fit of all of the newcomers in the conference.  West Virginia gave Iowa a scare in last year's NCAA Tournament, but their offensive inconsistency got in the way of an upset. What can star guards JJ Quinerly and Jordan Harrison do to make sure that doesn't happen this year, and do they have enough size everywhere else for it to matter? We finish up with some quick hitters on the rest of the conference, including TCU's star transfers and lack of depth. We also touch on accessibility in women's hoops coverage and why we want to see more mid-major love! Tap in!

The ACC is stacked! How many of these teams will we see in Tampa for the women's Final Four in March? Let's break it down starting with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Coach Nielle Ivey's squad overcame injury after injury last year thanks to the play of star freshman Hannah Hidalgo. They're already a little banged up to start the season, but will the return of another star, Olivia Miles, be enough to offset that and put them over the hump?  Then, NC State did make the Final Four last year and bring back a lot of the key pieces that made that run possible. Have stars Aziaha James and Saniya Rivers improved their games enough to avenge last season's disappointment? And why should you start getting familiar with the name Zam Jones?  Kara Lawson's Duke team surprised some teams last year with its stifling defense. However, they had a tough time scoring points themselves. Have they solved that with the addition of Canadian sensation Toby Fournier?  I also touch on some other ACC teams you need to be paying attention to before moving on to the Big East, which means talking UConn. The Huskies are known for their winning ways, but it's been a while. If it's going to happen again, Paige Bueckers is going to have to lead the way.

Newcomer Southern Cal comes into the Big Ten and immediately becomes the favorite. And for good reason too, as they add star transfers Kiki Iriafen and Talia von Oelhoffen to a roster that already features superstar JuJu Watkins. But could their freshmen class have even more of an impact than the transfers? Let's talk about why another loss in the Elite Eight would be a disappointment this season.  The Trojans aren't the only former Pac-12 program to show up and try to take over the block. The UCLA Bruins also step right into the top of the conference, led by C Lauren Betts. However, the key to how far they go could lie in the hands of Kiki Rice. Why is that and what do I think will happen this season? Then, I talk about why I'm hesitant to believe in the rest of the conference despite some high rankings heading into the season. After that, I move on to the Big 12. They have gotten lost in the shuffle with some of the splashy moves made by other conferences but you need to pay attention!  The favorite in that conference is the Iowa State Cyclones team that shocked a lot of people last year behind the freshmen duo of Audi Crooks and Addy Brown. As great as their debut seasons were, there was some room for improvement. Where is that and how do I expect it to go? Will they do enough to book a trip to Tampa? Or do they still need more experience? Could Baylor or Kansas State make a run in March? The Bears have a scrappy squad…but is that enough to rack up wins? And Kansas State is led by stars C Ayoka Lee and G Serena Sundell, but struggled to score points at times last season. Could that improve this year?  I finish up with some other teams to watch in the conference. Tap in and make sure you check out my other women's hoops previews!  Want more of what I'm doing?

The SEC has been home to the national champions for the past 3 seasons…can they make it a 4th? Lo Dreher of The Committee Sports Group joins me to talk about who has the best chance to make a run to the Final Four out of the conference where it just means more!  We start out breaking down what to expect from #1 South Carolina. Dawn Staley's squad was supposed to be rebuilding last year. Instead, they went undefeated and won the national championship. Will they be able to repeat for the first time in program history? Or will the void left by Kamilla Cardoso be too much?  Then, LSU is entering its post-Angel Reese era. Do they have another star or two in the making? And which aspect of their team may actually be better than last season's squad?  We move on to talking about SEC newcomers Texas and Oklahoma. Which one is better equipped to adjust to the way the SEC plays? And can Sooners C Raegan Beers pick up where she left off at Oregon State last season? Plus, Lo gives some rapid-fire takes on the rest of the league, including some sleepers to pay attention to, and explains the importance of traditional point guards!   For more from Lo Dreher:  -Twitter: https://x.com/bigggglo_ -TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bigggglo_ -Dawn Staley Cover Story for Slam Magazine: https://www.slamonline.com/the-magazine/250/dawn-staley-south-carolina-cover-story/ Want more of what I'm doing?

The Thunder arrived to the top of the Western Conference last season way ahead of schedule! Can they follow it up this year by getting even better? The legendary Danny Foxworth joins me to talk about what to expect from his favorite team this year! We start off looking back at last season's run to the #1 seed in the west! Danny talks about how OKC was able to make that jump and when he realized they had a real shot at contending. We also touch on where his fandom began and how much last year's Thunder team reminded him of the early years of the KD, Westbrook, and Harden squads. Then, we talk about the emergence of the Thunder's franchise player, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, into a superstar. Danny breaks down what makes him so effective. And while we know who he's their #1 guy, who is #2? Could it be Jalen Williams? If you're not familiar with his game, Danny explains why he's about to burst onto the scene nationally. And we evaluate Chet Holmgren's rookie campaign.  As if they weren't good enough, the Thunder pulled off some much-needed offseason moves. Did they address the issues that led to their playoff exit? Plus, Danny gives us some role players to pay attention to this season and tells me what to expect from some of the younger guys on the squad. We finish up with Danny's season expectations.

The 2019 NBA Championship seems like a lifetime ago for Raptors fans, but brighter days are ahead! NBA Analyst Esfandiar Baraheni stops by to tell me why that's the case. We start off by recapping last season. There were a LOT of moves made as the organization essentially pressed the “reset” button. What did those moves look like and what do they tell us about where the team wants to go? Then, it seems clear they want to build around young star Scottie Barnes. Es tells me how Barnes was able to bounce back from a tough 2nd year,  what else he needs to work on, and why it's tough to pin down exactly what he could end up being as a player. We also talk about how Scottie fits into Coach Darko Rajakovic's system, and zoom out to discuss the system as a whole.  We move on and talk about some of the pieces Es thinks could play a big role in this team's future, starting with Gradey Dick. Could he take a leap this year? And why is he the perfect fit next to Scottie? Then, we break down the entire roster. What can you expect the rotation to look like and what is the organization going to be looking for as they decide how to navigate this rebuild? We stop and take a necessary detour down memory lane and talk about the role the Raptors played in our individual fandom. I also get Es' thoughts on the mending of fences between former franchise star Vince Carter and the organization. We also talk about the beauty of following a team as they're trying to build a contender.  Then, we talk about this year's rookie class, the moves Es anticipates the team could make, and he gives us his prediction for the season!

The Indiana Pacers shocked a lot of people last season! From their run to the championship game of the inaugural In-Season Tournament to an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals. What can we expect from them this year? Alex Golden of the Setting The Pace podcast stops by to let us know!  Alex breaks down everything that fell in place last season to allow for such a huge improvement from the previous year. He also talks about the role Tyrese Haliburton bursting onto the scene played in that and how much more Hali can improve moving forward. Has he recovered from the injuries that affected him in the playoffs and will his experience with Team USA help propel him to a new level? From there, we look at what held them back from succeeding even more last year. We know Indiana puts up a ton of points, but they gave up a lot in return. How much of that was scheme and personnel versus effort? How good do they need to be on that end of the court to succeed? And what is Alex hearing from Rick Carlisle's crew about their plans to improve this season? Alex also tells us what to expect from the Pacers rotation this year. They have a lot of young talent and depth, particularly on the wing. How does Coach Carlisle plan to balance development versus winning? And what is it about Jarace Walker, Aaron Nesmith, and Ben Sheppard in particular that has Alex excited about their futures? We finish up with Alex's predictions for this season. What does a successful season look like for Indiana? Who should be the #1 option between Tyrese and Pascal Siakim? And which player does Alex think will play a much bigger role than people expect in the success of the team?

A season FULL of incredible individual performances! How do you even begin to figure out who deserves to be recognized for their play? Kevin “K-Dot” Lewis of The 9450 stops by to discuss the 2024 WNBA awards!  Starting off with the rookies, Caitlin Clark figured things out quick, fast, and in a hurry. For her amazing rookie campaign, she earned Rookie of the Year honors. However, the race was much closer than the vote would have you believe. How close was Angel Reese to winning it, who else came on strong at the end, and did the voters get the All-Rookie Team selections right?  Then, there was no question who was coming away with MVP this season. It was simply a matter of whether or not it would be unanimous, and it was! K-Dot puts A'ja Wilson's historic career into perspective. How in the hell was she able to level up after already being at the top of the league? Also, I tell you which player I was shocked to see not make it onto anybody's ballot. The Defensive Player of the Year Award is always one of the toughest for voters to decide. Kevin tells us why that is and his own personal criteria for making the pick. We also discuss the challenges of evaluating post defenders versus perimeter defenders, which may have led to DiJonai Carrington only receiving one vote.  However, DiJonai did come away with the Most Improved Player Award. Which teammate of hers should have received some recognition as well? And who should or shouldn't be eligible to win this award?  We finish up with the Coach of the Year Award along with an epic rant about the Chicago Sky's decision to fire Teresa Weatherspoon after one season. K-Dot also puts on his Nostra-Dot-mus hat and tells us what to expect from the rest of the playoffs!

Danny Foxworth of At The Plate with Danny Foxworth stops by to answer 5 burning questions about this MLB season! We discuss this historic 50/50 season by Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. Is he already one of the greatest hitters ever? And why does the NL MVP race between him and Mets star Francisco Lindor feel like deja vu all over again?  Then, we talk about some new stars who have popped up on our radars this season! Where did they come from and are they here to stay? We move on to discussing some lowlights of the year, particularly the most disappointing teams. The Chicago White Sox seem like an easy pick, but disappointment comes in many forms.  On the flip side, Danny gives us the teams that scare him the most headed into this postseason as we discuss why the MLB playoffs are the most exciting postseason in professional sports.

Tap in as I go over the most important changes taking place this college football season! As of right now, all of our teams are still technically in national championship contention. To get there, they'll have to survive the newly expanded college football playoff. How does it work, does it screw over Notre Dame, and why do Power 4 teams need to aim for the top 11? Speaking of Power 4 teams, RIP to the Pac-12. Well, kinda. Let's talk about all of the shuffling that took place from conference to conference during the absurd realignment we saw in the offseason. Also, I'll grade each conference on how they handled it based on who made the best decision for college football fans.  Programs weren't the only thing on the move. Players and coaches jumped around as well. Let's talk about which moves I expect to be the most impactful this season. Finally, we finish up with the worst change of them all.

Coach Herbert Johnson is BACK to break down the incredible photo finish in the Olympic final of the men's 100m! Despite looking vulnerable during the rounds, Noah Lyles outleaned Jamaica's Kishane Thompson for gold in a STACKED field. We talk about how Kishane's otherworldly speed may have come back to bite him! Also, we discuss what the rest of the field looked like in one of the most competitive men's fields in recent history. We also talk about Julien Alfred's decisive gold medal victory for St. Lucia in the women's 100m. How much did a warm-up snafu affect Sha'Carri Richardson's performance? And was that the reason behind Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's shocking DNS? We also talk about what this performance means for the future of Melissa Jefferson!  Then, we have a discussion about Jamaica's disappointing Olympic performance. They've been the standard in the sport for a long time, but things are obviously changing. What is the legacy they've left behind and can they turn things around in time for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles?  We finish things up by talking about the changes we'd like to see in track and field coverage in the United States, what Coach Johnson is looking forward to in the remaining events, reacting to some live news about events that were happening during our recording, and more!

It's safe to say the WNBA has more than lived up to the hype so far this season! We're witnessing some historic individual performances. What does that mean for the awards conversation? Let's break down what we're seeing and where my votes would go if I had them! Starting off with the MVP race! With all of the talent in the league, it says a lot that this one isn't even close. A'ja Wilson should win this one easily. Let's talk about how she's managed to elevate her game to another level! Is she giving us the greatest individual season in the history of the WNBA? I also zoom out and tell you who would be leading the MVP race if A'ja didn't exist! We can't talk about WNBA awards without discussing the Rookie of the Year race! This one has gone back and forth all season. Let's talk about why rookies SHOULD struggle, the struggles Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have had so far, and how concerned I am about those struggles. We also have to dive into how they've been able to overcome the odds to deliver some fantastic performances! Finally, I do manage to split hairs enough to tell you who is leading this race right now!  Then, I move on to the Defensive Player of the Year award. Spoiler alert: a lot of the names here have already been discussed this episode! Whose performances have impressed, what's the story behind all the numbers, and how do you compare post players with perimeter players? Let's figure it out!  The Most Improved Player award has the most subjective criteria of all the awards. I share what mine is and how that shapes this race for me. Then, I finish up with another tough one as we look at the 6th Player of the Year award. This one is PACKED with enough WNBA talk to get you through the Olympic break!

With nearly 50 years of experience coaching high-level athletes, including Olympic Silver Medalist Raven Saunders, you would be hard-pressed to find someone more knowledgeable than Coach Herbert Johnson. I'm incredibly grateful that he graced us with his presence to help me break down some of the marquee events of the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris!  We start things off with the Women's 100m. American Sha'Carri Richardson looks to cap off an incredible comeback story by bringing home the Gold. But, as always, the Jamaicans have something to say about that. We discuss the differences between Richardson and Shericka Jackson's skillsets plus the odds of sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to once again find the podium. The Men's 100m has its own USA-Jamaica rivalry. Noah Lyles is one of the most polarizing figures in the sport, but also one of the most talented. Can Jamaicans Kishane Thompson and Oblique Seville silence him? Or will Italy's Lamont Jacobs show the world once again why he's the reigning 100m Gold Medalist? Coach Johnson also talks about how the physiology of sprinters has changed over time.  Then, we move on to discussing the potential of world records falling. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's lowered her own 400m hurdle world record at the US Olympic Trials. Can she do it again? Or will Femke Bol prove that Sydney has more to compete against than just the clock? Also, Sweden's Mondo Duplantis is the king of the Pole Vault. Coach explains what makes him so great and what has to happen for him to once again set a world record.  We finish up with the Women's Shot Put! Coach Johnson discovered Raven Saunders as a high school freshman at Burke High School in Charleston, SC. As their coach, he helped guide Raven to the National High School record in the Shot Put. They have once again teamed up heading into this Olympic Games as they look to recreate that magic. Coach Johnson talks about why Raven is his favorite to bring home the Gold but also breaks down why the other athletes will make it a tall task. We also have a conversation about his coaching philosophy, including his years coaching me!

As Paul George leaves the Clippers for the 76ers in free agency, it's the perfect time to look back at the move that brought him to LA in the first place! The Clippers swung for the fences during the 2019 offseason and landed both PG13 and Kawhi Leonard, but the price was STEEP! At first glance, it was a blowout in favor of the Oklahoma City Thunder, but is that actually the case or did the Clippers do what they had to do? Let's break it down!

A report came out that a statistician for the Chicago Bulls was apparently giving Michael Jordan stats he didn't earn during his 1987-'88 Defensive Player of the Year season. This revelation has sparked a discussion about whether or not Jordan's award that year should count and the effect that taking that award away would have on the NBA's GOAT discussion.

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers seems like a good guy. How else can you explain him getting high profile job after high profile job? However, he has or will ruin everything we love about basketball and sports media! Let's talk about how things started going downhill way back during his days of coaching the Orlando Magic.

A record-breaking NCAA Tournament that saw Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks cap off their undefeated season with a national title has many basketball fans going through hoops withdrawal, but WNBA season is right around the corner! The festivities kick off Monday, April 15th with the WNBA draft where you can see where some of March Madness' biggest stars are going to spend their pro career. Kevin “KDot” Lewis of The 9450 stops by to talk about what we can expect come draft night! KDot explains what exactly Kamilla Cardoso did during the Gamecocks' title run to help her draft stock and where she can expect to go in the top 4. He also addresses why some are expecting Caitlin Clark to have an adjustment period to the pro game, whether history tells us that's accurate, and how you can expect CC to contribute immediately to the Indiana Fever.  We also talk about what makes Tennessee's Rickea Jackson the best 2-way player in the draft. Kevin also breaks down Angel Reese's game and tells me which WNBA coach he thinks can help her maximize her potential. KDot also goes over some overseas talent we need to get familiar with quick as well as some sleeper picks he thinks will be able to not only make a roster but contribute right away!
