Ahmad Hardy is back at practice, the guys make their Mizzou basketball season predictions, and debate whether the Chiefs have to trade for a receiver after the loss to Seattle.

Ahmad Hardy is back at practice and off the injury report heading into Arkansas. Jackson, Fernando and Isaac debate whether his return changes expectations for Mizzou, and whether Eli Drinkwitz gives him carries against the Hogs or saves his first game reps for Texas.

Then it’s hoops season. Jackson recaps Mizzou’s 71-67 exhibition win at Kansas State from Bramlage Coliseum, and the guys make their predictions with tip-off a week away: Fernando says 23-9, Isaac says 22-10, Jackson lands on 23-9, and all three see a Sweet 16 ceiling. Plus: the Leonard Hamilton defensive DNA in this roster, and who plays backup point guard behind Jason Crowe Jr.

To close, the Chiefs’ receiver problem after the loss to Seattle. Is Josh Downs the realistic trade target? Is Garrett Wilson a pipe dream? And what happens to Brett Veach if Kansas City doesn’t make a move? Fernando’s take is also in writing: Stop Walker, Stop the Chiefs: Why Veach Has to Find Mahomes a Receiver.
