This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features CBS and Turner Sports college basketball analyst and Hoops HQ editor-in-chief Seth Davis.

Davis speaks on why he believes no one else has done better in the transfer portal than Louisville coach Pat Kelsey and why Kentucky coach Mark Pope cannot rely on tradition to get players. Davis expands on why the NCAA has been the Washington Generals of litigation, but may actually win on creating 5-for-5 eligibility guidelines.

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features new Kentucky football coach Will Stein, making his second appearance on the podcast but first since taking over at UK.

Stein speaks on the demands of the job, including how he used the time between a set change at a Morgan Wallen concert to FaceTime a recruit. He details what he views as the biggest difference between coaching today's players and how he was coached as a player. And he discusses how his playing days at Louisville may have been different had the transfer portal and name, image and likeness (NIL) been around back then.
