Talking Preps returns Monday night at 8 (replays after) with a lively show. On tap:

▪ A vigorous discussion about the changes made to high school recruiting by the pandemic and recruiting will ever return to normal.

▪ Have public schools caught up to privates in terms of competition, and has the Eastern part of the state caught up to the West in terms of talent?

▪ Myers Park star Mia Xerras, whom Randall feels is on the cusp of cracking the Ms. Basketball Watchlist, stops by; and Chelsea sits down with Ms. Basketball nominee Taylor Barner, a freshman from Panther Creek.

▪ We update the Mr./Ms. Basketball lists and Rick and Alex break down our latest “All-NC” statewide rankings.

▪ Finally, in ‘Coach vs. Coach,’ Gary and Randall debate the NCHSAA moving the state finals out of the Triangle, do you foul or not up 3 points late and whether or not the prep 3-point line is too close.

Watch live, right here, at 8 p.m.
