The Inside Scoop is back!The tenth episode of The Inside Scoop with Tamar Bates presented by Speakeasy Sales Copy, began with this text message from Tamar to Jerod: “The freshman want to hop on an episode with us.”So they did. And the resulting episode is filled with insight from four freshmen getting their feet wet in Bloomington and a now-grizzled sophomore who is ready for his second go-around.The best part about this episode is the moments when it stops feeling like a podcast episode and instead feels like a brief peek into what the locker room banter is like between five guys who clearly have built quick chemistry.Highlights include:• Tamar’s reaction to being named a top-25 breakout candidate in college basketball• What it’s like playing for Mike Woodson• The time one of them decided it would be a good idea to talk trash to X in the locker room• The evolution of Scoop’s trash talk• Thoughts on playing such a marquee schedule• An impassioned debate about Indiana high school basketball. (You’ll never hear the word “tiddlywinks” the same way again.)And so much more. Plus a game of “Teammate Trivia” to wrap things up.I was mostly just a fly on the wall for this one.
