Zack is joined for his weekly Friday episode by Justin Spears! The guys hash out the crazy week that was in Arizona athletics, from the Book Richardson scandal to Rawle Alkins' injury to the Thursday arrest of Arizona safety Scottie Young. The guys also talk about UA commit Jamarye Joiner's Thursday night performance and open the Twitter mailbag before calling out to Adam Butler of (around the 30 minute mark) to talk about the state of Arizona basketball and ACTUALLY break down some basketball-related things, such as Arizona's lineup, PJC and Brandon Randolph.
