Tonight I sat down with Dr. James Onate. Jimmy is a friend and educator at THE Ohio State University. We talk sports, science, comparisons, recruiting and THE University of North Carolina. By far I was not the smartest guy on the podcast but Dr. Onate is always engaging, interesting and spends his days doing incredible work. I appreciate his friendship and willingness to always talk about a variety of topics.
