Kole Grandison joins the show to discuss his unique basketball journey, from Immaculate Conception to Overtime Elite and now Texas State.

He explains why the transition to OTE was even bigger than moving to college basketball, what he learned from a difficult final season there, and how that experience changed his perspective on leadership, accountability, and winning.

Kole also breaks down his defense-first mentality, the challenges of competing against older and more physically developed college players, and what he's learned from teammates like Omaha transfer Paul Joy and Sun Belt Freshman of the Year DJ Hall.

Off the court, Kole excelled academically at OTE, graduating as salutatorian. Now, he's setting his sights high for his freshman season at Texas State, with goals of making the All-Freshman team and winning Sun Belt Freshman of the Year. 🏀

Trey McKenney breaks down what it took for his team to win a national championship during his freshman season—from accepting individual roles to pushing each other every day in practice.

He shares how a talented scout team helped prepare the starters, why a Las Vegas tournament became a turning point in the season, and how adjusting to coming off the bench taught him to impact games beyond scoring.

Trey also tells a hilarious story about his head coach messing with the Michigan State student section before a rivalry game and names Ricky Liburd as a player to watch next season, highlighting his shooting, defense, and physicality.

Looking ahead, Trey’s focus is simple: keep working, stay vocal, ask questions, and never stop learning. 🏀

Dan Skillings Jr. joins the show to reflect on his basketball journey, from picking up organized basketball in high school to becoming a standout at Roman Catholic and making his mark at the University of Cincinnati.

He shares how mentor Kenneth Jackson pushed him to reach his potential, recalls unforgettable moments with the Bearcats—including a game-winning layup against Xavier—and describes what it was like returning to Cincinnati as an opposing player.

Dan also opens up about the impact Scott Drew had on him at Baylor, including an emotional moment when Coach Drew shared how deeply he cared about his players' faith and future beyond basketball. That conversation helped inspire multiple players to get baptized that same day.

From his experiences under both Bryce and Scott Drew to his approach to trusting God's plan, Dan explains why success is about more than what happens on the court. 🏀🙏
