We are back! Welcome to the fourth season of No Shot Clock, Michael O’Brien and Joe Henricksen’s weekly Chicago high school basketball podcast.

It’s been a long offseason so there is plenty to discuss and a slew of listener questions. My favorite: Who will be better in college, Charlie Moore or Ayo Dosunmu?

Then we head into a rundown of Wednesday’s Signing Day, which is the smallest group of seniors signing with Division I schools in recent memory.

Teams mentioned in this episode: Providence-St. Mel, Lane, New Trier, Willowbrook, St. Charles North, Uplift, Morgan Park, Farragut, Hope Academy, Young, Hyde Park, Bogan, Wheaton-Warrenville South, Fremd, Corliss, Hinsdale South, Orr, Curie, Romeoville, Warren, Joliet West, Larkin, Geneva, Lake Zurich, St. Charles East, Kenwood, North Lawndale, Lincoln Park.

The podcast returns to a weekly schedule now, dropping every Tuesday. Next week we will begin the season preview.

The podcast is on iTunes, so subscribe here.
