Portal = closed🚪Analysis on St. John’s, Duke, Memphis, Kentucky, etc. and GP’s new Top 25. PLUS: Guster joins Norlander at the top and debuts our new theme song!

Special episode here! Before we get to all the portal talk, you'll notice a surprise intro. Longtime listeners are aware that one of Matt Norlander’s all-time favorite bands is Guster. And after literal years of waiting, the pod has a new intro theme song. So, to commemorate this, Norlander invited on two Gusters to introduce the song. Entertaining and unhinged. We think you'll enjoy it. For the full/uncut version of their conversation, head here at our YouTube page to watch the 15-minute video.

As for today's show topics: The transfer portal is closed for the 2025 cycle. And some schools picked up some BIG names. GP and Norlander recap the biggest movement in recent days and give an updated read on the top 25 teams.
