George Michalowski is the President and Co-Founder of The Portal Report which was started 2022 with the goal of creating a media outlet completely focused on the transfer portal recruiting scene. Michalowski has worked directly with more than 150 college basketball staffs in their transfer portal recruiting process. The Portal Report strives to present the most complete and comprehensive coverage of the college basketball transfer portal recruiting world.

On this episode Mike & George discuss the evolving landscape of college basketball recruiting, particularly in the context of the transfer portal. Michalowski shares how the recruitment process has undergone a paradigm shift, with coaches increasingly relying on agents to facilitate connections with potential players, thereby diminishing traditional methods of direct communication with recruits and their families. This shift, as Michalowski asserts, is not merely anecdotal; it reflects a larger trend where coaches are now more frequently engaging with agents rather than directly with players, signaling a significant transformation in how recruitment is approached in the current era.

Additionally, Michalowski shares his personal journey and experiences that led to the inception of the Portal Report. His early forays into basketball journalism and the establishment of a platform that addressed the needs of both players and coaches underscore the necessity for comprehensive coverage and insight in the transfer portal arena. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding the motivations of players entering the portal and the role that agents play in shaping their decisions, thereby positioning the Portal Report as an invaluable resource for coaches navigating this complex new landscape. As college basketball continues to evolve, the insights offered by Michalowski serve as a critical lens through which the dynamics of recruitment can be understood and navigated.

In a broader context, the episode tackles the implications of NIL deals and their interplay with the transfer portal, raising pertinent questions about the sustainability of this new model in college athletics. Michalowski speaks candidly about the frustrations experienced by coaches as they attempt to adapt to a rapidly changing environment, particularly concerning monetary demands that often exceed the actual market value of players. This ongoing evolution presents both challenges and opportunities, and Michalowski's commentary offers a nuanced perspective on the future of college basketball recruiting, emphasizing the need for adaptability and strategic foresight in an increasingly competitive arena.

Dyami Starks is one of the Midwest’s premier basketball trainers. His approach to training combines professional-level insights with data-driven development strategies. Starks also serves as the player development coach for All Iowa Attack, the director of Starks Elite AAU program, and as an assistant women’s basketball coach at The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota.

Dyami was a Division I standout at Bryant University and enjoyed a professional career that included stops in Australia, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Latvia.

On this episode Mike and Dyami discuss the metaphorical totem pole of recruitment, and how college coaches prioritize retaining their current players and recruiting the transfer portal over pursuing high school talent, thereby reshaping the recruiting dynamic. We look at the misalignment between what players think college coaches value and what the coaches actually value including the following six categories.

Dyami explains the critical idea that effective leadership on the court does not solely rest on a single individual; rather, it thrives when all players embody leadership qualities, allowing them to elevate one another.. The discussion extends to the significance of athletes understanding their roles within a team framework, fostering mental resilience and adaptability. Ultimately, Dyami advocates for a holistic approach to player development and why players need a deep appreciation for teamwork and leadership.

Colin Doss just completed his first season as the Head Boys’ Basketball Coach and Assistant Athletic Director at Murray High School where he led the Tigers to a 21-8 record and was named the 2026 KABC Region 1 Coach of the Year.

Doss guided the program to a 2026 2A Sectional Championship, Murray High School’s first 2A title in school history and led the largest turnaround by a first-year head coach in the state of Kentucky as the team improved from 9 - 19 in 2024–2025.

Colin previously served as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at John Melvin College in 2024-25 after being hired as the youngest Head Coach in College Basketball at 23 Years Old. At John Melvin, Doss was named the 2025 New South Athletic Conference Coach of the Year and was a USCAA DII National Coach of the Year nominee.

Doss spent two seasons as a Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach for NAIA Brescia University and has coached for PHD Hoops since 2023.

On this episode Mike & Colin discuss the importance of building relationships with players as the foundational element for fostering a competitive spirit and commitment to the game. Without trust and mutual respect, players are unlikely to exert themselves fully on the court. Doss, who has recently achieved remarkable success in his inaugural season, leading the Tigers to a 21-8 record and their first 2A sectional championship, illustrates how nurturing these connections can transform a previously struggling program. His journey from college to high school coaching underscores a commitment to adaptability and personal growth, focusing on the unique challenges inherent in high school athletics. This episode delves into Doss's coaching philosophy, the significance of understanding player dynamics, and the strategies he employs to cultivate a thriving team culture.
