Jevon Yarbrough just completed one of the most dominant individual seasons in all of Division III basketball, leading Hood College to a historic year. Yarbrough guided the Blazers to a MAC Championship and helped deliver the program's first NCAA Tournament win while rewriting the record books in the process. He set new single-season program records in both points and assists, cementing himself as one of the most impactful players in school history and emerging as one of the top guards in the country. Following the season, Yarbrough became a highly sought-after player in the transfer portal, drawing significant interest and offers from both Division I and Division II programs. Instead of leaving, he made the surprising decision to return to Hood for his final collegiate season. In an era where standout lower-level players often move up immediately, Yarbrough's choice to stay loyal to the program that helped elevate his career could potentially set a new precedent for Division III basketball players weighing similar opportunities. Now, expectations around Hood basketball have completely changed. After reaching the Sweet 16 and returning the face of the program for one more season, the Blazers enter the year with legitimate national attention and championship aspirations. With Yarbrough back leading the way, Hood won't just be viewed as a dangerous underdog anymore—they'll be expected to compete with the very best teams in Division III basketball.

Ric Bucher breaks down a dizzying NBA playoff picture, from the Thunder and Spurs looking like rising Western powers to the Trail Blazers once again appearing trapped behind better-timed contenders. Ric also explains why building around international stars such as Giannis Antetokounmpo may be the safest path for NBA franchises in today's trade-demand era.Then Ric digs into why ring culture has warped how we judge stars like Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Joel Embiid before turning to the Magic-Pistons series, Jalen Duren's sudden passivity, Paolo Banchero's aggression and Cade Cunningham's massive playoff workload.

UAB head football coach Alex Mortensen joins The Next Round for an in-depth conversation on building the Blazers, recruiting in Birmingham, and how his time at Alabama under Nick Saban shaped his coaching philosophy. Mortensen explains why connecting with the Birmingham community is critical to growing the UAB fan base and why the Blazers' facilities — including Protective Stadium, the football operations building, practice facilities, and weight rooms — are major selling points in recruiting. He also breaks down what he learned from spring practice, including why UAB's defense is becoming longer, faster, more competitive, and more relentless. Mortensen discusses the next step for his players: moving beyond knowing what to do and learning the how and why behind elite execution. The conversation also dives into Mortensen's nine years at Alabama, what he learned from Nick Saban, and how working around offensive minds like Lane Kiffin, Brian Daboll, and Steve Sarkisian helped prepare him for this opportunity. Plus, he shares why he is excited about hiring Todd Grantham as defensive coordinator and how his network of coaches continues to guide him.
