Customer Reviews
Scouting
Hey guys, firstly just wanna I say I absolutely love the pod. Have been absolutely hooked for the last month when I cam across it. Just wanted to ask if you guys have done a scouting pod on defensive aces like Phillips, Walsh , Prosper or late risers like Sheppard. Would love to hear your thoughts
Knowledgeable, but zero structure
Every time I turn on this pod I learn something. These guys know what they’re talking about!
The problem is there is zero structure to the podcast and even when I’m paying attention I struggle to keep up with what, or who, they’re talking about. Even worse, if I try to multitask while listening I may as well have men speaking random words in my ears… all monotone and no segments, breaks or intros to break it up.
With that being said, I do like these guys and if improvements are made I’ll gladly up my rating.
Must Listen
Great, great show! Give these guys a listen for great basketball content.
