This week\\u2019s rundown

In Segment One [2:20], Jerod describes why Juwan winning the first Gold Jersey was so important, Andy discusses whether he\\u2019ll be joining Joe Lunardi on his \\u201cBracketology Cruise,\\u201d Ryan gives the football team some love for flipping a 4-star Ohio State commit, and then we discuss the Big Ten\\u2019s official preseason All-Conference team \\u2026 which includes way too many guys.

In Segment Two [15:10], we dissect the most interesting comments from Big Ten Media Day \\u2014 including the growing practice competition between Devonte Green and Rob Phinisee, Archie\\u2019s positive comments about Justin Smith, how Romeo is responding to Juwan\\u2019s dominant practice play, and why it continues to look like Zach McRoberts is entrenched as a major player for this team.

In Segment Three [26:17], we each provide our projected top 4 teams in the Big Ten, pick our surprise team, choose an All-Conference team, and then discuss whether this is an up or down year for the Big Ten.

In Segment Four [43:26], we answer your questions.

\\u2022 Why was Indiana\\u2019s in-state recruiting so down prior to Archie\\u2019s arrival?
\\u2022 If we had to pick one \\u2026 would we rather see the team spring some upsets but lose some head-scratchers, or take care of business but not beat any of the top teams on the schedule?
\\u2022 If we had to pick one \\u2026 would we rather see the team win a Big Ten title but lose early in the tournament, or have a so-so regular season but then make a deep tournament run?
\\u2022 If the point guards struggle, could we see extended time for Romeo at the point this season?

All of that and more on this week\\u2019s edition of Assembly Call Radio.
