Danny

For Munch, the glass doesn't exist.

We all need a black hat guy every once in a while just to come on and say, you know what, this isn't that good.

Usually it's Danny.

We love Munch.

We've both been on his show, and it's just as much fun as he is here.

I talked to him about Mizzou and Ohio State when they met in the –

Whatever, Fiesta Bowl, I guess it was a few years back.

With no one for Ohio State played.

Half of Mizzou's defense was gone, and every star in Ohio State was sitting.

They still won.

Paul Biancardi, who covers college basketball for ESPN, along with Jeff Berzello.

They did one thing where they did the recruiting rankings, the final team recruiting rankings, which Missouri was 7th.

But one of the other things he did on his own was he looked at the top class comparisons.

He took the highest coming out of high school for each of the five positions, who was the top recruit of last year's team, and then compared them to this year's team and, like, which year had the better shooting guard, which year had the better point guard.

What was notable to me was that the 2026 starting five is Jason Crow, Mizzou, at point, shooting guard Jordan Smith, Arkansas, small forward Tyron Stokes, Kansas, power forward Cameron Williams, Duke, center Tony Bryant, Missouri.

The three of the five are locals, and two of them, amazingly, are Missouri Tigers.

And by the way, on the basketball, the portal rankings, they're top 15.

That's not even counting Crowe and Bryant.

Portal rankings, they're in top, I think they're top 20.

Yeah, yeah.
