<p>Jim Irsay is impatient. &nbsp;Chris Ballard is a grinder. &nbsp;Frank Reich is a loving uncle. &nbsp;Can they fit as leaders to bring a championship to Indianapolis? &nbsp;Should the Colts have open tryouts for receivers? &nbsp;</p> <p>Not only did IU whiff on McDonald's All Americans, the entire Big 10 did! &nbsp;None of the nation's best high school seniors pledged the Big 10! &nbsp;And that is fine! &nbsp;</p> <p>Pacers host Denver tonight, and a loss is needed badly. &nbsp;</p> <p>Happy Birthday to the First Lady of Professional Basketball in Indy - the great Nancy Leonard!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Jim Irsay says it was "very obvious" the franchise needed to move away from Carson Wentz. &nbsp;While he is thankful Matt Ryan was available, Irsay says the team nearly dealt for a young quarterback. &nbsp;</p> <p>Tarik Glenn will be added to the Colts Ring of Honor, and I volunteer to personally take a crow bar and remove one of the names currently in the Ring of Honor to make room for the big fella! &nbsp;</p> <p>The Mayflower (trucks) landed in Indianapolis 38 years ago today in the craziest sports story I have ever heard!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Colts ranked 14th in NFL, but the areas for growth are obvious and addressable! &nbsp;The needs are clear, and there is cap space! &nbsp;Sadly, that cap space will dwindle for 2023, so it's not quite as simple as we would like! &nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana Basketball appears to be in a position to hold onto a significant portion of its roster for 2022-2023, and that could mean a leap in class for next season. &nbsp;Is Trayce Jackson-Davis going to declare for the NBA Draft? &nbsp;He should to get the feedback that will compel him to stay at IU. &nbsp;</p> <p>With every loss, the Pacers prospects for next year and beyond improve, so the loss to the Hawks last night was good for the franchise!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Carson Wentz can be a top 10 quarterback again, said Frank Reich. &nbsp;Then why did the Colts trade him! &nbsp;Colts sign John Fox as a senior defensive assistant. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana Basketball hired Mike Woodson one year ago today! &nbsp;In year one several boxes were checked, and now the real winning needs to start! &nbsp;Woodson's grade is a B-. &nbsp;Would have been a solid B before Dane Fife was unceremoniously fired and plundered. &nbsp;</p> <p>Transfer portal should be an escape hatch of last resort, not a spring beach destination as popular as Panama City Beach! &nbsp;</p> <p>Myles Turner appears to have played his final game as a Pacer.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Boilermakers may have given St. Peter's way too much respect tonight as they allowed a 15-seed to move on to the Elite Eight for the first time ever. &nbsp;The path to Purdue's first Final Four in 42 years seemed secure, but I guess that's why they play the game. &nbsp;</p> <p>Big 10's tank is now empty. &nbsp;Nine teams in the tournament - noe advance to the Elite Eight.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Chris Ballard is slow-playing the acquisition of wide receivers, and Colts fans should be very pleased. &nbsp;The Chiefs overpaid for the mediocrity of Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Ballard appears ready to wait for the draft. &nbsp;As for tight end - I got your tight end! &nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana has lost three scholarship players this week, which brings them down to the limit of 13. &nbsp;Who will Mike Woodson hire to replace Dane Fife? &nbsp;Two candidates stand out. &nbsp;</p> <p>The NCAA needs to eliminate official reviews before they kill college basketball. &nbsp;</p> <p>Lance Stephenson went off last night, but the Pacers still lost by 30! &nbsp;Best of both worlds!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Matt Ryan contract allows Colts to move aggressively to add a wide receiver, tackle, yet another defensive lineman - or sign Quenton Nelson and Yannick Ngakoue to extensions. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana Athletics may have filled its basketball staff with too many generals and not enough lieutenants when they brought in Mike Woodson, Dane Fife, and Thad Matta. &nbsp;Clarity is required from leaders, and that needs to extend to Scott Dolson and the university's president. &nbsp;</p> <p>Pacers fans have lost their minds as they ride opposing players - and they aren't clever about it either, which is my biggest gripe.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Tyreek Hill would look great in a Colts uniform, but the price was so high it will destroy the Dolphins chance to win. &nbsp;That should be seen as a win for Ballard. &nbsp;Former Rams WR Robert Woods chose the Titans, so the Colts were never in the game for a trade. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Ball State should be on the phone this morning to Dane Fife about their vacant coaching position. &nbsp;He is going to be an excellent head coach - why not in Muncie. &nbsp;</p> <p>College Basketball's transfer portal needs to be adjusted, and so does the mindset of Indiana guard Khristian Lander!</p> <p>Hard to be happy Pacers lost at buzzer to Kings - but you should be!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Chris Ballard won't overpay for a receiver, and that was a good thing today because the Dolphins did exactly that for Tyreek Hill today. &nbsp;Too much money for Hill and too many picks for the Chiefs. &nbsp;</p> <p>(at 7:19) Dane Fife is out as an assistant to Mike Woodson at Indiana University, which is not a surprise! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Khristian Lander has entered the transfer portal, which is also not a surprise - but will not necessarily serve him well if he leaves.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Matt Ryan said all the right things yesterday - now can he make all the right throws? &nbsp;Most impressive about Ryan yesterday was his describing the the Falcons as "they" instead of "we." &nbsp;Now what for the Colts, who have gone from lost to found in NFL circles! &nbsp;</p> <p>New Maryland coach Kevin Willard describes the Terps program as a top 10 job! &nbsp;Maybe in the Big 10. &nbsp;</p> <p>Should LaVall Jordan be back a coach of Butler Basketball - or replaced in the wake of a disappointing season?</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Colts friendly deal nets Ryan, upgraded second, upgraded third and potential second next year for Carson Wentz. &nbsp;If Ryan and Wentz were equals, this would be a good deal, but I would take Ryan 100 out of 100 times. &nbsp;It's a bit like the Rivers deal, but Colts get draft equity in this one. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;Big 10 is doing just fine in the NCAA Tournament with two teams in the Sweet 16! &nbsp;</p> <p>Purdue has a great chance to get to its first Final Four in 42 years! &nbsp;I</p> <p>IU's Women's team can earn a spot in the Sweet Sixteen of their tournament.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>
