New Pod with Alex Karaban!

[gwhuskyfan]

Second episode in my twice/month series with Alex Karaban. We talk PK85, Okla St, prepping for Florida, where the team is at right now, and some crazy questions from UConn Twitter.

Tune in! Video out tonight, audio in the morning

Thanks. Love this.

You should ask Santa for a pair of AirPods.

My son says he's going to play a drinking game to these episodes. Drink every time Alex says "super". Lol

Love this kid. He speaks like a coach and you can tell he loves the game. Thanks Jared!

AK is just starting to put his impact on this team/future teams.. Classy kid.. Awesome BB IQ..Can deliver the goods when needed

 

[Marat]

Loved the podcast with AK again. Great job.

Since you started asking him random stuff at the end, ever dare to ask if he reads the Boneyard?

For sure! Love taking the random questions at the end to help get to know him a bit better. Feel free to throw any other random questions for him in the thread and I'll try to get to them throughout the episodes

Please don't make him aware of this place. He might think about transferring if he gets a look at the stuff on here.

If he comes here after the first loss, he will go right to the portal with the chicken little fever.

Great interview, great kid. So lucky to have him. He’s just a freshman?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Always great work, Jared. I love how you ask your guests good questions and give them space to answer. It sounds simple, but so many interviewers neglect to do that.

I loved how Karaban called their locker room "the happiest I ever saw" after they won the PKI.

 

[Vancat]

Super!

Awesome interview again Jared - these are just great. The comment about that lob to start the OK St game was hilarious - thinking Tristan messed up the pass only to remember that Andre can touch the Patoni tiles if he wanted to.

Alex makes the these easy too - great interviewee especially as a freshman.

 

[elmcityboy]

great podcast! loved his breakdown of the andre jackson lob, haha.

An under-discussed aspect of his maturity and readiness to play is the fact that he was with the team and practicing during second semester last year.

His favorite hobby is basketball. His second and third favorite things to do are basketball.

Super insightful and super good kid who is super locked in for tonight.

Super job Jared, I'm super jacked for tonights game!

 

[CL82]

Great listen. The thing that comes across the most is the absolute joy that Alex has in being a part of this team.

 

[Sole]

Great interview… what a great kid…also what a great interviewer Jared is..

 

[ctchamps]

Great interview Jared. Keep them coming.

Karaban thinks and reacts in his interviews the same way he plays the game - with passion, clarity, a level head, intelligence and poise.

He’s a winner on so many levels. Should have a great college career. Will make a lot of money playing the game and when his playing days are over will have a future in either broadcasting or coaching.
