More 12-team CFB Playoff Thoughts. Jalen Duren reclassifying? Penny Hardaway to the NBA? Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

It's a LOADED Monday Aaron Torres Podcast! Aaron explains why he is coming around to the idea of a 12-team College Football Playoff, what he knows about Jalen Duren's potential reclassification and why Penny Hardaway might be pursuing an NBA coaching job. Here is a full rundown of today's show:

More details on the 12-team College Football Playoff proposal: Last week Aaron discussed the proposed 12-team College Football Playoff - but late last week, we got more details, and Aaron explains why the idea is growing on him (2:30). He gives five reasons why 12 might be the right number from better regular season games, to fewer opt outs and more teams and fans invested later in the season. He also shares a few concerns about the 12-team playoff as well and still wonders if eight teams is the right number for an expanded playoff.

Is Jalen Duren reclassifying? Is Penny Hardaway headed to the NBA?: Next, Aaron hits on two major topics from the college hoops weekend. On last episode Aaron shared his impressions of the No. 1 high school player in America Jalen Duren and briefly talked about the potential he reclassifies (26:00). This weekend those reports picked up steam, and Aaron hits the topic from all angles. What are the chances Duren does reclassify and if so, what schools make the most sense? Finally he discusses a report from Adrian Wojnarowski (aka "Woj") that Penny Hardaway may be considering NBA jobs. Aaron tells you some intel he's heard - and explains why it's more likely than many believe (48:00).
