In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy talk about Nikola Kusturica's commitment, his anticipated impact in 2026, what 5-in-5 means for the roster, and then discuss the 30 most important Bruins countdown. We led off with a discussion of Kusturica's commitment, which was a long time coming. We then talked about the impact of his addition to the roster, and what it means for other players to not have to play out of position in 2026, since Kusturica will take 20-25 minutes per game at the wing. We then talked about Kusturica as a player and how, even at 17, he might be able to make a significant impact as a freshman thanks to his advanced skillset, unique physical ability, and toughness. We talked also about the importance of everyone, including Mick Cronin, being patient with Kusturica as he grows into the college game. We also talked about Kusturica's two-year deal, and how that dovetails nicely with the new 5-in-5 rule, which could allow the Bruins to retain this group of players pretty much intact for the next two seasons. We also talked about the possibility of adding yet another player, if certain lawsuits go forward over the coming days. We closed with a discussion of the 30 most important Bruins list, and how we are rounding into the top 5. Bruin Report Online is now at On3! Join BRO today and get 5 months for ONLY $1!

The Auburn Tigers shake up the SEC quarterback rankings—does Byrum Brown's arrival signal a new era on The Plains? Zac Blackerby and Brian Smith dissect Auburn's quarterback situation after On3 ranks transfer Byrum Brown eighth in the SEC. Debating national media narratives, they spotlight Brown's size, athleticism, and fit in Auburn's system, asking if his proven mobility and familiarity with offensive coordinator Alex Golesh's scheme could make him the conference's best third-down quarterback. Key stats, such as Auburn's third-down struggles and Brown's 3,131-yard, 28-touchdown campaign at South Florida, shape the debate. The hosts compare Brown's ceiling to SEC rivals like Ole Miss's Trindon Morten, Texas's Arch Manning, and Georgia's Gunner Stockton, exploring whether Auburn finally boasts a QB advantage in most games for the first time since the Bo Nix era. Can Auburn's upgraded offensive line and ground game fuel a breakout season—and will Brown's play propel the Tigers past preseason expectations? Support us by supporting our sponsors!

Before he built one of the biggest names in youth sports training, Will Bartholomew was a walk-on at the University of Tennessee trying to survive fall camp with a quarterback named Peyton Manning. In this episode, the D1 Training founder sits down with Eric Malzone to trace the whole arc — training athletes in an open field back in 2002, opening a patio-carpet-and-turf gym with racks he screwed together himself, and slowly turning that into a franchise system now closing in on 220 locations nationwide. Will gets honest about the messy middle: no point-of-sale system at location two, why D1 doesn't open on Sundays, selling off 27 real estate properties and a physical therapy business to go all-in on the gym he actually loved, and the advice from his father that changed everything — "never scale anything until you've scaled it yourself." He also digs into what makes a great youth strength coach today, how D1 uses radical transparency and scorecards to keep coaches bought in, why he thinks the $115 billion youth sports market is still in its first inning, and the balance every sports parent is chasing between competing hard and keeping the game fun. Whether you're a gym owner thinking about franchising, a coach trying to build a real career in strength and conditioning, or a parent navigating the youth sports world, this conversation is packed with hard-earned lessons from someone who's lived every side of it.

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy break down the flip of Myles Baker from Cal to UCLA, the status of Nikola Kusturica's recruitment, and then go heavy on position battles we're anticipating heading into fall camp in a month. We led off discussing Baker's recruitment and what a coup it was for UCLA to land him away from Cal. We talked a bit about Baker as a player, and then talked about the good job the UCLA football staff has done in recruiting this cycle. We then discussed Nikola Kusturica, and Tracy's call that he'll end up committing to UCLA. We talked about his performance in the ongoing FIBA tournament, and also talked about some of his athletic attributes and his skillset. Finally, we dove into some of the eagerly anticipated position battles for this upcoming fall camp for UCLA football. The Bruins still have a lot of spots to iron out, particularly along the offensive line, at running back, at defensive tackle, and at the second linebacker spot. We broke down ten different position battles, and our expectations for each. Bruin Report Online is now at On3! Join BRO today and get 5 months for ONLY $1!

What Dusty Just Done Did Starts at 0:51 Not only did we have this team come out of nowhere to be the best in the history Michigan basketball. The Dusty May Era is now a fever dream. Takes a little bit out of it. This is college basketball now. Understand why he wouldn't want to be a college coach today; he explicitly said he never got to feel like they won a championship. NCAA can be blamed for letting it get here but also they have no power whatsoever to fix all the things that mean the second you win a title you have to recruit your new team. Second time in a row the college coach the NBA took was Michigan's. This is not the Cavs; Dallas is a good gig. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. The Future of Michigan Basketball Starts at 19:04 They're promoting Mike Boynton to interim head coach, with a possibility of permanence. Greater that 50% chance he's the HC without the interim title, but might execute a search. Five days after they announce a hire the portal is open for Michigan alone, which is probably what scared them into this now. McKenney is back, probably Cadeau back, direction of things is a battle to hold onto the transfer bigs. Boynton: got tagged by the FBI thing, can see his tenure as not successful, or successful for the Minnesota of the Big 12. He has a trademark, which is defense: five of six years with a top-20 unit. Still relatively young, can recruit. Program: "What option do we have?" UNNNNNGGGGGHHHHHH. Actual option: Josh Schertz! Trademark is twos, built a real roster there, is Dusty's best coaching buddy. Don't care as much about roster continuity (Brian Ellerbe, Sherrone Moore) because the players won't be around long. Also if you poach a coach you have access to another team's roster and coaching staff, whereas right now Michigan and the Mavs are competing for Michigan staff and Michigan and the world are competing for Michigan's players. Other names to look at: Niko Medved was our next pick two years ago, did as well as possible with Minnesota last year. Where is Michigan Basketball in program rankings? Would Purdue swap with us? Purdue built their fanbase over years of having a program, just like Michigan hockey. 3. The Warde Talk Starts at 53:17 What are you supposed to do with a guy who alternates between asleep-at-the-wheel scandals and national championships? Push back against Brian's assertion that people "don't want to work for him" because these are all individual situations. He's not a bad guy, but he's also not a guy who *does* things, unless that's milking the fanbase or turning Michigan Stadium into an F1 race of ads. His oeuvre is not doing anything, because that worked with Harbaugh in 2020, and now that's a modus operandi. Talking ADs history since Canham. Push back against Brian's lionizing of Canham: he was a visionary, but his record also includes Dr. Anderson and trying to prevent/undermine Title IX. We end up preferring Bill Martin of all our lifetime ADs—he built the boxes to prevent ads in the stadium. Don't think missing out on Les Miles was a loss. Brian's Warde assessment: He typed "how to AD" into ChatGPT. Does losing Dusty May like this change your opinion on Warde Manuel? No. But it's weird that he keeps surviving (no president to fire him). 4. 2027 Football Recruiting Starts at 1:20:46 Doesn't look any different from a Harbaugh class at this point. If you're good at scouting and developing you're fine. OL class is small but Lipsey stacks another elite tackle and they had to fend off ND for Louis Esposito, Rouleau is a Frey-type. Xavier Muhammad is a very good DT, Tavares Harrington a find at CB, and they held onto some important guys in-state in a good Michigan year. LB recruiting is still underfunded, Brian is fine with that because it's very a "what's in your head" position with no consensus on what schools want. State of the recruiting industry: Paramount got bought and 247 is getting raided as incompetent ownership sets in. On3 is more reactive to scouting this cycle, and almost universally rate M commits higher. White whales: #1 is CB Josh Dobson, Seth Tillman would be a big, big deal because DTs are hard to come by, Monsanna Torbert would be a big win over Ohio State. Lincoln Mageo would be a good OL to finish with. Would like to have more TEs coming in. 5. World Cup Starts at 1:50:04 Takes hotter than Dusty May's agent. Count how many times Brian calls USA "Michigan." Are the Americans the most pleased with their performance in Group Phase (2nd to Canadians). Freeman (son of Antonio) is very reliable defensively, main thing is you can put Dest at wing. Sauciest player in US history? McKenzie is everywhere, runs into the box from deep were especially effective vs Paraguay. Pulisic injury: not going to play him in the useless Turkey game, should be fine. Tim Ream has been trying to play soccer for us forever, always been the best guy on the ball. Decent draw, should be favored (when they make the field) for a couple of rounds. Success point is get to the quarters; they can go into a game against a world power and expect to compete, not win, and not win three in a row. Four years ago they were too young. Don't mind the 48-team format; it saps a lot of tension out of the Group Stage when three teams advance, but a lot of "small teams" have battled. Brazil is still working back to being BRAZIL. Germany is Ohio State but not a peak year Ohio State. France is super talented. Alex: If you play Bosnia and Herzegovina you play two countries at once. Seth: Actually it's more like seven point eight.
