Syracuse basketball legend Eric Devendorf joins the show for a deep-dive interview on his iconic career, the state of college basketball, and what he's up to now. As two massive Syracuse fans, we had to ask "Devo" about the most memorable moments in Cuse history. He gives us the full inside story on the legendary 6 Overtime game against UConn , his iconic scoreboard jump , and his candid thoughts on why he's glad his last-second shot in regulation didn't count. Eric also opens up about: * His recruiting story: Why he flipped his commitment from Michigan State and the warning Coach Izzo gave him. * His time at Oak Hill Academy playing alongside Kevin Durant and Ty Lawson. * The new era of college sports: How he would have used NIL as a McDonald's All-American and why "old school" coaches like Boeheim and Saban are stepping away. * The truth about Johnny Flynn: He defends his former teammate against the "taken before Steph Curry" narrative and reveals the "Bo Jackson injury" that derailed his career. * The current Cuse roster, Kiyan Anthony , and his advice for Melo's son. * His one career regret: Leaving Syracuse a year early and missing the all-time scoring record.
