Episode 2 of the pcbb1917.com Friartown Fan Voice podcast is live. In this episode I touch on some of the remaining 2016 big man names on the recruiting front, go over the results of the Big East Media Day awards and preseason coaches’ poll, touch on the upcoming season and finish with some questions from you, the fans.
