On the Thursday February 7 edition of BangTheBook Radio, host Adam Burke was joined by professional handicapper Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com for this week’s Powers Picks segment. The guys talked about college football National Signing Day and looked at the big winners and losers and also talked Big Ten college hoops.

Even though freshmen won’t all make an impact next season, recruiting rankings should be a part of your college football handicapping process. Adam and Brad discussed the implications of signing day and some of the programs that brought in good classes and those that didn’t. They also took a look at the Big Ten in college basketball to see what’s wrong with Michigan State and surveyed the rest of the conference.
