The Podcast of Basketball Love features a new co-host this week as CoBL's new Managing Editor Stephen Pianovich joins Editor-in-Chief Josh Verlin to talk hoops.

The duo is first joined by Lehigh commit Pat Andree, who talks about his recent pledge to the Mountain Hawks and head coach Brett Reed. Andree shares how the recruiting process of his father and brother -- who both played at Notre Dame -- helped shape his own, and also what he's looking for in his senior year at Christian Brothers Academy.

Speaking of recruiting, ESPN's Adam Finkelstein shares his knowledge about some of the top 2016 and 2017 prospects with Philly ties and some other recent commitments that caught his eye. His gives his thoughts on top-rated point guard Trevon Duval and Westtown (Pa.) big man Mohamed Bamba, among others. Also discussed are a few under-the-radar commitments, including Temple commit Quenton Rose and future St. Joe's wing Charlie Brown.

Finally, Delaware head coach Monté Ross joins the show to discuss the Blue Hens' freshly-released schedule and the state of the program entering his 10th season in Newark. Coming off a 10-20 season, the Blue Hens have high expectations for 2015-16 with four starters returning, and though the season is more than two months away Ross is very excited about what the year ahead holds.
