The Denver fix and flip market 2026 is producing a strange combination. Strong showing activity and soft offer volume. One Arvada property sat through 57 showings in 44 days. The deal that finally came in fell apart when the buyer’s grandmother refused to release the down payment. That’s the market Derek Marlin is navigating right now. Derek Marlin founded Elevation in 2014. The company does fix and flips, wholesaling, fee-based project management, and runs a brokerage team at eXp. He also runs the Elevation Academy and the Broadway Collective, a Denver co-work space that recently hit 100% occupancy. His team runs 3 company flips at a time and operates at roughly 85% off-market acquisition volume. In this conversation, Derek Marlin and Chris break down the Denver fix and flip market 2026 from the ground up. Motivated sellers are still anchored to 2021 valuations. Carrying costs add up fast when deals drag 6 weeks longer than planned. Derek also walks through his 4-offer model. It gives sellers a cash offer, a fix-in option, a fee-based consulting path, or a partnership flip. The partnership flip now requires putting the seller on title in an LLC before Elevation funds the rehab. That change came after too many sellers changed their minds mid-project. In this episode we cover: Why 57 showings in 44 days produced almost no offers and what Derek Marlin thinks that signals about buyer behavior in the Denver fix and flip market right now The Arvada flip case study at 8506 Union Circle, $60K rehab, listed at $725K, 57 showings, one terminated contract, and a final sale near $700K How a grandmother ended a $719K deal 3 days after inspection by refusing to release the down payment funds The 4-offer model Elevation uses with every seller, and why the partnership flip structure now requires LLC title transfer before any rehab capital goes in Why Derek Marlin is running 85% off-market and what ratio he actually wants to hit The tear gas house case study, a SWAT-raided Centennial property taken to studs, $405K in rehab, sold near $1.4M, with the client clearing $181K in 6 months What Elevation Academy covers in a full day and what the $997 includes Derek Marlin’s outlook on the Denver fix and flip market, optimistic long-term, defensive on underwriting right now Derek Marlin’s direct, data-grounded take on current conditions is the kind of real-time Colorado flip intel you won’t find anywhere else.

Johnny Mac previews Nate Bargatze's film The Breadwinner, describing its plot about dad Nate Wilcox juggling family life while mom Katie (Mandy Moore) goes on a Shark Tank-driven business trip, and reports efforts to make tickets cheaper via the “Nate Rate,” with AMC and possible Cinemark discounts similar to 80 for Brady (which grossed $39.4M domestic). He checks Fandango for a May 29 showing and sees few or no tickets sold, then cites Bargatze promoting the movie for all ages and a Nashville screening celebrating the city. The episode also covers Derek Stroup praising Bargatze's influence and advocating clean comedy, with Johnny sharing related advice. Johnny highlights Jerry Seinfeld's Airmail interview about his car addiction, dislike of electric cars, and thoughts on self-driving. He notes Ken Jeong's Shark Week special K-pop Shark Heroes and summarizes updated Golden Globes eligibility rules for TV stand-up specials. 00:25 Nate Bargatze Movie Setup01:05 Discount Tickets And Nate Rates02:10 Checking Ticket Sales Live03:16 Nate Instagram And Nashville03:59 Clean Comedy Philosophy05:51 Seinfeld Car Addiction Talk08:10 Ken Jeong Shark Week Special09:32 Golden Globes Standup Rules Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

Discover how a former C-suite finance leader scaled a home services business from $1.8M to over $4M by putting people first and learning to let go. In this episode, you'll hear a practical framework for leadership that turns “volunteer” teams and employees into loyal, high-performing advocates for your business.   In this episode, Jennie and Todd Krause discuss: Journey from CPA and finance to leadership and entrepreneurship Why caring cultures drive retention, reviews, and referrals The business math behind employee engagement and profits The three pillars of a thriving workplace: caring, positivity, and cultural competence The LEAD framework: Let Go, Empower, Align, Develop   Key Takeaways: Sustainable growth comes from unlocking the untapped potential in the people who work with and for you, not just from technology or tools. When employees stay longer, care more, and work with fewer mistakes, operating expenses drop while revenue and profits rise. Culture is built by flipping the script from “rules and consequences” to clearly stating what you want and rewarding behaviors that deliver for your clients. Effective leaders must learn to let go of tasks, empower others, and align them with clear goals so they can make good decisions independently. Developing future leaders happens in everyday conversations just as much as in formal training rooms—every discussion about how and why a decision was made is leadership development.   "If I can't do it all myself, I need help. I have to let go of things and give it to other people, so they can do it, because if I can no longer get my arms around everything, then things either fall through the cracks and stop getting done, or I'm self-limiting in how far I can go with my business." - Todd Krause   About Todd Krause: Todd A. Krause is the owner of The Cleaning Authority – Fishers, where he grew the business from $1.8M to over $4.0M in revenue while building a diverse, high-performing team and an award-winning workplace culture. A CPA and MBA with decades of leadership experience across finance, banking, and entrepreneurship, Todd has helped grow organizations ranging from startups to multi-billion-dollar enterprises. Today, Todd is the founder of Silversun Consulting, where he works with home-service business owners to solve the growth challenges that keep companies stuck. His work focuses on building strong leadership, effective systems, and thriving workplace cultures that allow businesses to scale without chaos, burnout, or owner dependence.   Connect with Todd Krause: Website: https://silversunconsulting.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddakrause/ Connect with Jennie: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/ Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/ YouTube: COMING SOON!

I sat down with Marco from MoveItOn at ConsenSys Miami to talk about something I hadn't seen before — a peer-to-peer delivery platform that turns everyday travelers into courier agents. Think Uber, but for shipping. Marco walks me through how they use smart contract escrow to build trust between strangers sending valuable items, how their M1 token powers cross-border payments, and why they just acquired a Web2 company called GlocalZone with 1.5 million app downloads to hit the ground running. We also get into the regulatory maze of operating across 100+ countries, the AI-powered security boxes they plan to place at airports and train stations, and why the last-mile delivery problem is one that AI agents simply cannot solve on their own. If you're interested in how blockchain and real-world logistics can come together to save people money and create new income streams while traveling, this one is for you. Disclaimer:Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

From scaling a landscaping company from $4M to $30M to consulting businesses across the country, Tommy brings real-world insight into what it actually takes to run profitable, efficient operations.

On The Boardroom Buzz, the Blue Collar Twins interview Ralph Citarella Jr., president of Bayonne Exterminating, about the company's 100-year history and his path into the family business. He explains the firm was founded in 1926 by Harry Albert and purchased by his grandfather on May 1, 1945 after World War II, then grown by Ralph's parents through added employees and involvement in the New Jersey Pest Management Association (NJPMA). Ralph describes leaving the business during his parents' divorce, bartending after graduating from TCNJ in 2002, and returning at 26 as a managing partner with a goal to reach $1M revenue, learning from early mistakes like building his own website. He discusses industry professionalism, regulation, consolidation, succession issues, his NJPMA leadership roles, earning board-certified entomologist credentials, current operations (six technicians, $1.4M revenue), marketing limits, customer mix, and prioritizing family and sustainable growth.

Most people think they need a better product, a better offer, or a better funnel to grow. The real bottleneck is simpler than that: how you describe what you sell. If your words do not make your solution sound as good as it truly is, you lose to competitors with worse products and better communication. Dan Henry is the founder of GetClients.com and a Wall Street Journal bestselling author who has done stage closes for Russell Brunson and built multiple businesses from scratch. In this conversation with Jeremy Miner, Dan reveals the psychology behind why people buy "good sounding" products over good products and shares the Mint.com story where identical products produced wildly different results based on one sentence.

Richard McGirr interviews George Salas, who breaks down how he's scaled his capital raising by focusing on fund-of-funds relationships instead of relying on traditional retail investors. He explains how partnering with established capital raisers allowed him to bypass building a full marketing engine early on, accelerating growth and helping him raise over $4M. George shares how structuring deals around specific portfolios rather than blind pool funds made his offering more attractive to fund managers, especially when he lacked a long fund track record. He also dives into his process for building relationships through in-person events, refining follow-up systems, and leveraging CRM tools to stay organized. The episode wraps with actionable strategies around email marketing, investor nurturing, and scaling capital through both institutional partnerships and emerging retail channels.

We are back with Episode 212 of We're All Set Podcast and it is all over the map in the best way possible

This episode is a gut-punch for every contractor who swears they're “too busy” but still burns half their week on bullshit tasks that should've been offloaded years ago. Chris Diroll breaks down how he sold $4M in roofs without paid ads, why Facebook/Nextdoor groups are a goldmine, and how owners sabotage their own businesses by making sales reps do everything except sell. We dig into efficiency, leadership, VA leverage, five-star review systems, and the ugly truth about why most roofers stay small. Real talk, real systems, and the kind of perspective that makes you uncomfortable in all the right ways.Listen to this episode on other podcast platforms:Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/BeAuthenticSpotifyApple Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/BeAuthenticApplePodcastAmazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/BeAuthenticAmazonMusicConnect with "Be Authentic or GTFO" on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beauthenticorGTFOInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/beauthenticorGTFOWebsite: https://beauthenticorgtfo.comFollow Podcast Host Eric Oberembt on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ericoberembtInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericoberembt

What does ambition actually cost the people closest to you? This episode confronts the question most high performers avoid by putting a microphone in front of the people who lived through the grind. If you have ever wondered whether the sacrifice is worth it, or whether your family sees your drive the way you do, this conversation will hit different.Jeremy Miner, founder and chairman of 7th Level and creator of the NEPQ sales methodology, sits down with four of his children for an unscripted conversation about growing up with a father who was always working. They cover what it is like working for your dad, and the one thing his daughter would change about his company culture. This is not a business tactics episode.

In this powerful episode of In The Lab, Ruben sits down with Dr. Noah St. John, a neuro-performance architect who has helped clients generate billions in revenue, to unpack the real reason so many entrepreneurs stay stuck despite having the right strategies, tools, and knowledge.Dr. Noah breaks down the concept of the “invisible brake”—the hidden force that silently limits your income, growth, and results. While most entrepreneurs focus heavily on the outer game like marketing, sales, and systems, this conversation reveals why that's only half the equation. The real bottleneck lies in what happens after you set a goal—when doubt, limiting beliefs, and what he calls “head trash” begin to take over.Through real examples, including scaling a company from $4M to $20M in under 18 months, Dr. Noah explains how mastering your inner game is what unlocks exponential growth. He dives into why copying successful people doesn't work, how unconscious beliefs shape your outcomes, and why most people are unknowingly operating with one foot on the brake.This episode also explores the idea of “permission to succeed,” the difference between conscious and unconscious competence, and how high performers think, decide, and act differently. From breaking through income ceilings to gaining clarity on what you actually want, this conversation gives you the missing piece most people never address.Tune in now to learn how to identify your invisible brake, eliminate the beliefs holding you back, and finally align your inner and outer game to unlock the results you've been chasing.HIGHLIGHTS:09:22 - Noah talks about why results matter more than personal success17:53 - Noah talks about outer and inner game.Keeping it Real:05:06 - Why most entrepreneurs fail despite good intentions07:43 - The truth about “fake gurus” and social media09:21 - Why results matter more than personal success12:10 - Why proximity alone doesn't create results13:19 - Architect analogy: why watching isn't enough15:27 - $4M plateau to $20M breakthrough story17:47 - Outer game vs inner game explained20:13 - How beliefs control every area of your life22:24 - Why “The Secret” missed the real work25:28 - Gary Vee and unconscious competence27:51 - The concept of “permission to succeed”31:17 - The framework behind the invisible brake32:17 - Why most people sabotage their own goals33:11 - Driving with one foot on the brake analogy35:03 - Neuroplasticity and rewiring your beliefs36:19 - From poverty mindset to building wealth40:33 - Decision vs doubt: what actually drives action42:05 - Pain vs pleasure as motivators46:04 - Technology's impact on your inner game47:19 - Identifying your invisible brake50:42 - Power habits of successful people51:08 - Why clarity beats “wanting more money”52:34 - The myth about personality and success54:01 - Building a clear vision that actually works55:27 - How to identify your “head trash”56:30 - Turning limiting beliefs into opportunity57:03 - Where to connect with Dr. Noah CONNECT WITH THE GUESTWebsite: ⁠https://noahstjohn.com/⁠Linkedin: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/noahstjohn/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/noahstjohn/⁠Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@drnoahstjohn#EntrepreneurMindset #BusinessGrowth #RealEstateInvesting #WealthBuilding #PersonalDevelopment #HighPerformance #MindsetShift #FinancialFreedom #SuccessHabits #ScaleYourBusiness

This single property created more than $10M in value, but it was the most complex real estate deal we've ever done. We had to put a million dollars at risk to even start the transaction—and it was non-refundable. Multiple buyers, a cross-collateralized property in receivership with a parking lot, a hotel, and office space. This wasn't going to be easy, but it definitely paid off.  Today, I'm peeling back the curtain, showing you the full numbers and story of this commercial real estate case study that proves if you put in the work, the reward is there—and it could be an eight-figure payoff.  I'll walk through how we got this off-market, underpriced property sent to us, how we found buyers to take over the parts of the property we had no interest in, the substantial non-refundable earnest money we had to put down to close, and the hiccup at the eleventh hour that almost completely killed the deal. Plus, I'll share exactly what we did to take this parking garage investment from $31M to $35M to now being worth north of $40 million. This is how we did it. Insights from today's episode: A full real estate case study of the most complex deal we've ever done  Why I put a seven-figure non-refundable deposit on a property that had low chances of closing  How we immediately walked into $4 million of equity from purchase  The value-add improvements we made to grow this property's value by over $10 million  The #1 reason why a broker sent this off-market deal to us before anyone else  How we subdivided and sold parts of the property while we were buying it  Our exact loan structure (LTV, debt, terms) to reduce risk  — Investing in Parking Lots: Real Estate's #1 Overlooked Opportunity | Ep. 977 Charlotte Parking Facility Case Study  Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Darius shares that when purpose aligns with your work, selling from the heart becomes natural rather than forced.The conversation focuses on one of the biggest weaknesses in sales: poor qualification. Darius explains how optimism, urgency to close, and self-deception often cause sales professionals to hold onto deals that were never real. He introduces the Three Whys—Why buy anything? Why buy now? Why buy from us?—as a simple but powerful filter for qualification.He also breaks down the MEDDIC/MEDDPICC framework—Metrics, Economic Buyer, Decision Process, Decision Criteria, Paper Process, Pain, Champion, and Competition—showing how disciplined qualification protects time, improves forecasting, and increases trust. This episode is a masterclass in selling smarter, not just harder.KEY TAKEAWAYSPurpose makes authentic selling natural—when your work aligns with meaning, trust follows.Qualification is a time management strategy, not just a sales process.Sales optimism can become a liability when it blinds you to disqualifying signals.The Three Whys—Why buy? Why now? Why us?—help determine if a deal is real.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESFind your purpose, match it with your job, and then you'll be selling from the heart.Our time is limited and is the most precious asset we have as salespeople.We can deceive ourselves by not responding truthfully—the best way is to ask the customer.If the economic buyer asks why they should buy from you—how solid is your answer?ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

Simon Conway Morris is a paleontologist at the University of Cambridge. His research has illuminated the history of convergent evolution–the recurrence of similar biological features such as vision, wings, and even intelligence across vastly different evolutionary lineages. Through his popular books Life's Solution, The Runes of Evolution, and From Extra-terrestrials to Animal Minds, he makes the case that convergence is not merely a series of curious coincidences, but evidence of a deeper order to biology.  Simon is a Fellow of the Royal Society and was just announced the winner of the 2026 Templeton Prize, a $1.4M dollar award for those who harness the power of the sciences to explore the deepest and most perplexing questions facing humankind.

What does it take to build an interior design firm that can withstand economic uncertainty, shifting markets, and hesitant clients? In this episode, Kimberley Seldon speaks with Andria Cowan-Molyneaux, owner of a thriving 18-person, $4M+ interior design firm located in a town of just 17,000 people. In a seasonal economy with no luxury boom to rely on, Andria has built a business designed to stay strong during turbulence rather than react to it. Instead of pulling back during uncertain times, Andria doubled down on strategy, marketing visibility, community involvement, and operational discipline. The result is a resilient design firm that continues to grow even when the market wobbles. This conversation is a masterclass in leadership, profitability, and long-term thinking for interior design businesses. In this episode we learn: - Why marketing only when you're slow is the fastest way to stay slow - The difference between advertising and brand-building — and why it matters for interior designers - How philanthropic campaigns can outperform paid advertising in ROI - Why design awards strengthen credibility, especially in smaller markets - The real math behind growth: consistently feeding the overhead machine - How in-house manufacturing improves margin, control, and design differentiation - Why charging $250/hour in a rural community is not bold — it's responsible business - How professional associations shorten the learning curve and prevent costly mistakes - Why competitors can become collaborators — especially in uncertain economic times If you're building an interior design firm that needs to grow, adapt, and stay profitable in changing markets, this episode will show you the quiet systems and strategies that make resilience possible.

Spring Game - Offense Starts at 0:51 Seth has a hypothesis that you can define running backs by the sound you involuntarily make when they carry the ball. You can practice this in the shower. Ohio State had a high scoring spring game, also a lot of rain. Bryce's play was concerning. He didn't look comfortable in the pocket and scrambled a lot. The defense wasn't allowed to do anything fancy or blitzed, they mostly played in a Cover-2. That said, not ever having the starting offensive line together does not help the quarterback. Tommy Carr was able to sit there and do some three step drop stuff, which are throws that Underwood didn't throw. He doesn't have the arm strength but he was making better decisions. Who would you compare him to, Tate Forcier? Dylan McCaffrey? Alex Smith? Did Michigan lose a year of Bryce Underwood's development? Kyle Whittingham has a track record of developing good running quarterbacks, so maybe what we saw in the spring game was not super relevant. Maybe Bryce is like a freshman Cam Newton or redshirt Freshman Vince Young. Even if they don't have a great passing game they can still run a good offense with the running tools they have. Some of the scrambling may have been a result of pass rush and playing against Cover-2. Poor Jordan Marshall getting ruled down after four yards. Savion Hiter is absolutely going to be the real deal. It was an up and down game from the wide receivers but they also didn't get many opportunities. There has never been an elite wide receiver who has worn #3 at Michigan. Browder had a ball bounce off his face mask but then got a nice catch later. Hogan Hansen has barely been able to play football for the last year and a half. The gang argues over fullback snap counts. Guys getting wrecked against defensive tackles is fine because we want to see progress from the defensive tackles (in the spring game).  2. Spring Game - Defense Starts at 43:54 It was generally encouraging that the defensive line beat up the offensive line. Sprague lost to Edokpayi a couple times. Cam Brandt beat Frazier at one point. Nate Staehling hasn't been available at all so there's still some hope that he'll be really good when he arrives. All the linebackers are defensive backs right now. Palepale really stood out. Benny Patterson was a defensive end to keep an eye on. What did we see from the linebackers? Uhhhhhh. Taylor Tatum might be a real safety? Corner has four names for three spots which is a good spot to be in. A kicker missed a 29 yard field goal, they should've faked a field goal for the game winning touchdown since they weren't trying to block kicks.  3. Hot Takes and Basketball/Hockey Portal Starts at 1:06:36 Takes hotter than the Kitchener Rangers GM after the Michigan hockey team stole from them. The portal has been slow enough to include both basketball and hockey. The roof of Yost fell off to conserve the vibes of the roster. Perron remains the only question mark. They're also about to get the top two picks out of the CHL. The roster is pretty much done, they don't even need to go to the portal. This team should be the #1 team in the pre-season poll next year. Michigan men's basketball turns its attention to Cincinnatti center Moustapha Thiam. A 7'2" rim defender who could replace a likely Mara departure. Apparently there is a situation with a handler from Senegal. It's looking more like Mara is gone and Morez is back. Is there a chance Mara returns? Probably not, but he needs to make a decision. Brian doesn't want to throw the whole bag at Juke Harris. Overall it's been quiet and they need to start making some moves.  4. Gimmicky Top Five Moments of Basketball Season Starts at 1:48:33 Everyone's top five moments of basketball season, plus Seth's 74 honorable mentions. Elliott Cadeau going 2-15 and controlling the Arizona game, undefeated on the road, and Dusty sitting in front of the Michigan State bench. They didn't just boat race those teams in Vegas but they broke the point system. Oscar Goodman thunder dunks. Scooping up confetti is like the fan version of raising a banner. Jeremy Fears kicking a Minnesota guy in the balls signified that it was not just a Michigan thing. Then Izzo fouling Michigan for ten minutes and complaining about Michigan getting more free throws. The Arizona win stamps this season as "one of the best teams of the last 25 years." You can just sit on a couch in a certain way and piss off Michigan State fans now. McKenney's mid-range jumpers in Breslin were the coldest mid-range jumpers ever. What have been your favorite tournament blowouts? Michigan's mascot should be Mitch McGary in an oversized Mitch McGary suit.  MUSIC: "Spring Game"—Biz Markie "Going Shopping"—The Srokes "Baby Steps"—Olivia Dean “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

Hockey - Recapping the Frozen Four Starts at 0:51 We gotta talk about the hockey tournament. The fake hockey tournament. Whether they won or lost, it doesn't change anything about who this team was. Michigan played well enough to win, but one shot in nine minutes ended it. Almost every year it's not the best team that wins, it's usually Duluth or Denver. Denver is like the UConn men's basketball of hockey. There's no emotional story to apply your fandom to when it's just randomness. Denver's lack of penalties that were objectively bad no-calls just doesn't make it feel fair, especially the way they called Michigan's penalty in OT. even Alex and David think it was egregious, the players that poured their hearts into this deserve better. There is something wrong with this tournament, there would be a lot more respect for Buccigross if he would say something along those lines. There's not something wrong with Michigan, there's something wrong with the tournament. Imagine if in basketball they just stopped calling fouls in OT.  2. Hockey - Looking Ahead Starts at 27:50 Moldenhauer and Hage have announced returns. Apparently players have been informed to avoid the AHL if they can, college is a lot more enjoyable. Jack Nesbitt is the 12th overall pick and could be coming in, he's a TJ Hughes replacement. He's in the OHL playoffs and might not make a decision right away. Cameron Reid could also be coming in from the OHL, 21st overall to Nashville. Perron is the biggest one on the fence, if you get him then all your holes are plugged. JP Hurlbert is coming in regardless but he might wait a year to contribute. Nick Seaman is coming in as a 4th liner, Cooper Dennis might get deferred (and is Alex Drain sized). A lot of teams will be better next season, but Penn State had Gavin McKenna and weren't that great. Michigan State isn't missing a beat. There are a lot more, and better, options than just going to the NHL these days. They should be a pre-season top three, or maybe even top one.  3. Hot Takes and Basketball Portal Starts at 59:16 Takes hotter than the Denver Pioneers. The Red Wings need to make David Carle their head coach so they can win while being out-shot 2:1. This information might be outdated by the time you hear it! What is happening in the portal right now? Not much. Michigan gets JP Estrella out of Tennessee. He's a high efficiency but low usage player which is weird. He's a moneyball play vs getting Flory Bidunga. Otherwise there's not a lot of chatter. We're starting to expect Morez Johnson to return. Michigan needs a true rim protecting center and could probably also use a starting three. Juke Harris is worth going after but not worth the big bag, give that to the Seton Hall center, Najai Hines. Freshman Brandon McCoy went to a camp and looks like a guy you could have for 20 minutes a game. There's a trust of Dusty in the portal that the fanbase didn't have with Juwan. The Big Ten runs college basketball now. How would Beilein have done during this era?  4. Spring Game Preview Starts at 1:38:41 Spring Game is this weekend at 2pm, 12-18 starters will be sitting out. Bryce will probably play since they don't have enough quarterbacks, we better see Savion Hiter. Position groups are going to be split into balanced squads rather than have a draft, making it more like a controlled practice than a real game. In years past it was frustrating to see future NFL linemen with a walk-on running back behind them, you can't learn much from that. We expect to see a more evolved version of the offense with more quarterback runs. There is Travis Johnson buzz at wide receiver. Brian doesn't want to hear about Kendrick Bell. Hogan Hanson is generating excitement and the offensive line has intriguing positional battles. Evan Link is back and might play, Babalola is not playing yet. Whittingham is good at running the quarterback, it won't be the 2011 offense but it should be effective. The coaches apparently like the depth on the defensive line and think it's the strength of the team, which, ehhhh. Brian breaks down why this is not true. They trust Palepale. Do you prefer EDGE or ED? Linebacker depth is a concern, they don't really have anyone to back up the three main guys. The secondary should be settled in. Shamari Earls is making a move at corner. Who's at nickel now? If Rod Moore isn't on the field in the spring game then enjoy a nice coaching career. Kerry Coombs brings a lot of old guy energy and gets mic'd up a lot. Jay Hill is like the mormon kid from South Park. Don't blame us if it rains.
