Feels good to stretch the legs out again...............Welcome Podzilla........

 

[mysterio2525]

Welcome aboard! I see kansas and Kentucky had offers for him so that's usually a good sign. Can anyone tell me why Wisconsin wasn't a bigger player for him?

So, one Training Day Denzel for Trent coming back, one for Podz commit. Are there more BOOMS coming soon?

 

[spillini]

LOVE the Ayo respect paid in the commitment video. Shows how critical he has been to changing the perception of the program. Welcome aboard Podz

Now that Giorgi is gone we needed another player who's name will get misspelled as it's Brandin, not Brandon. And Podziemski isn't exactly an easy one either, granted most will shorten it to Podz.

2021 4* Brandin Podziemski averaged 35.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 4.0 steals as a senior. Per Kentucky Sports radio... Brandin took an unofficial, self-guided campus visit to Champaign, IL this past weekend.
