Sinclair offers his takes on the top prospects, and whether he’d prefer Cameron Boozer or Caleb Wilson to be on the board at #4. Plus, Tim gives his insights into Keaton Wagler, the Illini star who could go as high as pick #5. The guys also do some coaching candidate round-up as Billy Donovan’s replacement still hasn’t been chosen. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
