Bronny James, son of NBA legend LeBron James and incoming freshman with the USC Trojans, suffered cardiac arrest on Tuesday morning. He was released from ICU and is in stable condition, but it's yet another terrifying health issue coming out of USC after Vince Iwuchukwu suffered a similar incident last year. Iwuchukwu ended up playing 14 games for USC, so perhaps Bronny will return at some point, but for now the concern is all about his long term health. The Big East is littered with talented head coaches, and we take a stab at ranking them by choosing who we'd pick first to lead a program going forward. How far does Rick Pitino fall? How do we feel about the trio of young coaches in Shaheen Holloway, Kim English, and Kyle Neptune? Does Danny Hurley go No. 1? Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The college basketball offseason has reached its halfway point, but there are still moves to break down. The guys hit on Memphis landing Jahvon Quinerly and its impact on the Tigers in 2023, plus how Chris Ledlum fits into the picture at St. John's and how good we expect SJU to be in Rick Pitino's first season at the helm of the program. Then, they go through their "bad gets", an annual tradition breaking down the transfer portal moves we didn't actually like this spring, including some fairly high-profile additions at major programs.

Alabama guard Jahvon Quinerly unexpectedly entered the transfer portal earlier this summer. We now know that he's headed to Memphis to play for Penny Hardaway and the Tigers as they try to win the now-Houston-less AAC. Is this a good move for Quinerly? Can Memphis find revenge against their new conference foe FAU for their first-round loss in last season's NCAA Tournament? Harvard transfer Chris Ledlum committed to Tennessee earlier this summer but on Thursday of last week re-entered the transfer portal. Will the Brooklyn native wind up being another St. John's and Rick Pitino commit? Will he choose Indiana? We'll have to wait and see. Dickie V unfortunately had to recently announce that he has throat cancer; the third time the longtime college basketball voice has had to fight cancer.

NCAA transfer portal star Grant Nelson chose to join Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide over Eric Musselman and Arkansas, helping to replace the losses of Charles Bediako and Noah Clowney in Bama's frontcourt. Nelson's floor spacing and rim protection will be tested in the SEC, but if he's up for the task he'll make a fantastic addition to Oats' team. Meanwhile, Muss and the Hogs will likely turn their attention to Jordan Brown, a big man transfer from Louisiana who Muss coached at Nevada back in 2018-19. Simeon Wilcher decommitted from North Carolina and quickly found a new home at St. John's, where he's the 12th newcomer for coach Rick Pitino and his highest rated recruit this cycle. What Wilcher's playing time looks like for the Johnnies remains to be seen, but it's clear Pitino is ready to build this program from the ground up. Finally, Arizona and tommy Lloyd put together a staggering non-conference schedule that includes Purdue in Indiana, Duke at Cameron Indoor, as well as neutral site battles with Tom Izzo and Michigan State and the aforementioned Alabama team.
