As off seasons go, we're off to a great start

The masses have spoken (if like a dozen people on twitter can be considered "the masses") you wanted a pod to talk about the off season so far and we're here for it. We spend the beginning of the pod talking about the two recruits that Wojo landed and how they may impact the team as well as projecting forward to next season and 2019. We both love the signings but will it have enough of an impact on the roster to make up for glaring defensive issues. Below are the stats that Joe cited on the pod:

           Offense            Off eFG%                        Defense            Def eFG%
2015   105.4 (154)       49.8 (130)                      98.5 (69)           49.2 (173)
2016    108 (116)          52 (76)                          100.1 (88)         48.7 (107)
2017    120.8 (8)           57.4 (4)                         104.2 (165)       52.2 (241)
2018    119.4 (12)         56.8 (14)                       106 (186)          53.8 (292)
We then turn to long term recruiting news and start talking about 2019/2020 in earnest. Once we get back from our trip into the future, we spend time talking about the non-conference schedule as we know it for 2018 and what the means for the team and their mindset. We close out the pod talking about the possible end of Dwyane Wade's NBA career and how desperately we want him to play one more season as a farewell tour. As always, enjoy!
