Burko is soon head to the Asia-Pacific in New Zealand, which is the site of a great recruiting story by Brentley.

The first college-centric episode of the new season, and it's without Burko, who will return next week. Brentley welcomes Wake Forest women's assistant Ryan Potter as the Deacs are No. 1 in the first ranking of the season (courtesy of The Differential).
