Great interview with Brandon Wood who is a really classy guy.  Probably one of the top pure scorers to ever where the brown and gold.  Also a good update from Alec.

Agreed.  Interesting to hear about the challenges, injuries and politics, Brandon has faced in Europe.  Sounds like the D-league and NBA are next for him.  As always, great interviews by Paul.

Excellent insight on the difficulty of pro-ball.  But can't help but come away with less respect for BW.  His bouncing around for "something better" is not a trait I look for in my own life.  It's certainly not unheard of, in fact millenials (of which I am, begrudgingly) are well known for just this.

Again, appreciative that PAUL brings on such great guests.  Regardless on my feeling of BW, he was an excellent guest.  Thanks PAUL.

So interesting to be able to take a peek into the lives of former players through these podcasts.

Something was off for me too, though I had this weird feeling of having stereotypical impressions confirmed (surprise is not an emotion I felt while I listened).

I had trouble putting my finger on it, and while I identify a little bit with what you are expressing, I'm not sure that's what I was noticing.  There was just something off about it.

All I'm saying is that I didn't really enjoy the interview all that much.

I thought so too.

When do you think we'll get to hear an interview with new assistant coach Dildy? Really excited to hear from him! I also wonder if we'll get recruiting updates as well once we have them, since the live period for the new recruiting year is starting soon. Not trying to sound pushy, just curious. I know it's been a long and hectic offseason. Always appreciate the work you do and absolutely love the podcast!

Looking forward to this one! Cory has to be one of the most underrated Valpo players of the last decade. I only had the opportunity to watch Cory his senior year but he could really score. I remember a game where he got 33 in a win over Oakland that year. OU couldn't stop him and Brandon.

Will be awesome to hear what he's been up to. He was without question one of the best low post presences to put on a Valpo uniform in recent memory. Could even step out and hit jumpshots as well in addition to being a very solid rebounder and passer. Really good player.

And, if he is actually 6'6" I'd be surprised.

I just got done listening and I highly recommend everyone give it a listen. One of my favorite episodes if not the favorite.

Great conversation and it was really interesting to hear Cory's experiences overseas & the Lottich Japan connection. I knew Coach Lottich was a stud over in Japan but I wasn't aware of how big of a star he was over there. Would be cool if we could get a kid from Japan because of that connection one day. I know there has been a few pretty good talents out of Japan lately (YUTA WATANABE (George Washington) & the Rui Hachimura (Gonazaga)). Also was cool to hear Cory's background story of how he ended up at Valpo.

Side Note: Paul mentioned Rowdy is in the States & that he's trying to get him to come on the Podcast. Would be another great guest. On the Mt. Rushmore of Valpo Basketball and also one of my favorite classmates of all-time. Just a great guy.

Does anyone know what rowdy is doing state side?

His girlfriend Katie is an American and went to Valparaiso also. If I had to guess they are visiting her family during his offseason.

I'm a facebook friend.  They are in the states for a couple of weddings.

Wow. Did anyone know Rowdy had Mono his senior year!? I had no clue. Pretty incredible. He still averaged 15.7 points and shot .417% from 3 that year. Pretty mind blowing. Need to listen to this interview. Great stuff.
