Then, Russ explains how the Cincinnati Bearcats could be making a return to wearing Air Jordan uniforms this upcoming season on the hardwood.

Russ then explains how he felt about Cincinnati Bearcats linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. going undrafted. Plus, Russ doubles down on why he thinks the Cincinnati Bearcats will be just fine in their first season under Scott Satterfield.

Three Cincinnati Bearcats players were drafted and seven others signed as undrafted free agents. Do any of them have a chance to make NFL rosters come the Fall? Alex is joined by Neil Meyer of The Front Office News, who thinks several Cincinnati Bearcats have chances to make NFL rosters.

Neil thinks Ivan Pace Jr. and Tyler Scott are great fits in Minnesota and Chicago respectively while a long-standing coaching friendship could help Josh Whyle find his way on to the Titans roster.

He hasn't coached a game yet, but Neil is very optimistic about what new Cincinnati Bearcats football head coach Scott Satterfield is going to be able to do with this offense.

Simas Lukosias is a huge pickup for the Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball program. Neil shares his thoughts on him and C.J. Frederick and what they could bring to the program.

Cincinnati Bearcats fans have speculated all offseason about new football head coach Scott Satterfield. Alex explains how that's all we can do, and that the people he talks to says they don't know much about him. Therefore, if he hasn't even coached a game, can we really have a definitive opinion on him?

Alex then responds to fans' comments about the Cincinnati Bearcats ability to develop players and that they will be able to continue high-level development in the Big 12.

Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball recently landed a key transfer commit in Butler's Simas Lukosias. Alex explains why this is, once again, testament to Wes Miller's ability to recruit and how Lukosias is prepared for Big 12 play.

Believe it or not, the Cincinnati Bearcats are just 66 days away from officially joining the Big 12. Alex is joined by Zach Fries, from the Fries Frame Podcast and PFF, and Sean McMahon, from iHeartMedia Cincinnati, for the latest on the biggest storylines surrounding the University of Cincinnati Bearcats football and men's basketball programs.

Zach and Sean talk about how Emory Jones's previous stops in his college career have prepared him for this opportunity to be the Cincinnati Bearcats starting quarterback.

There are a lot of things to like about C.J. Frederick committing to the University of Cincinnati. But one thing that stands out is the fact that he played with Kentucky and Iowa, two of the best conferences in the country.

Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball was recently given the distinction of being "most underrated" of all time. Zach and Sean take the approach of maybe they're "properly rated" if not "underrated."

Alex, Zach and Sean then get into where they think Cincinnati Bearcats draft prospects will end up. How high will Tyler Scott and Ivan Pace Jr. go, and where will they end up?

For as much as former Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Ben Bryant will always be a part of the football program, him transferring is actually the best thing to happen for the program's future. Alex explains how this benefits Evan Prater as well as Brady Drogosh.

The Bearcats men's basketball program landed a commit from C.J. Frederick in the transfer portal, a sharp shooter from Kentucky. Alex explains why this is significant and why he likes Frederick as a player.

Recently, an affiliation named the Cincinnati Bearcats as the most underrated program in college basketball. Alex explains why he disagrees with that pick, and asks if the program is actually "overrated."

With Ben Bryant now in the transfer portal, Emory Jones now seems poised to be the Cincinnati Bearcats starting quarterback in 2023. Alex explains why this what is best for the Cincinnati Bearcats offense, a unit that will face major challenges in 2023.

What can Cincinnati Bearcats fans expect from Jones in 2023? A lot like how he ran the ball in 2021. But Alex also warns fans to not expect too much from Jones, and he may not have to be prolific for this offense to be successful.

While Jones is obviously the big winner in him being the starting quarterback, if he is named that, Alex explains how Evan Prater, if he stays, and Brady Drogosh can benefit from Jones as well.
