In the sixth episode of Around The Waves on KCOU 88.1 FM, Luca Vitale and Ryan Waelterman welcome Wheeling, Illinois native Ethan Polak. Ethan is also a journalism major that attends Butler University. Before Ethan joins the show, both Luca and Ryan give props to Mizzou quarterback Connor Bazelak after his stellar performance against the LSU Tigers last Saturday. They both believe he is the answer at quarterback at this point. Next, both members debate whether or not the Miami Heat can return to the NBA Finals next season after hearing Jimmy Butler's press conference following the Game 6 loss. Luca is confident they can as long as they trade for a piece like Bradley Beal who is a dominant shooting guard while Ryan believes the Heat need to acquire Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. After the break, Around The Waves welcomes Ethan Polak. First, they discuss what Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott's injury means for him and the Cowboys. Luca believes Dak's future in Dallas is in jeopardy due to the complications of the injury. Furthermore, Luca and Ethan debate whether or not the Las Vegas Raiders are AFC competitors after defeating the Super Bowl champions. Both Ethan and Luca agree that they are not at this point due to a loaded AFC. The next segment was everyone's favorite as they pick who their MVP is through the first five weeks of the season. Ryan picks Aaron Rodgers while both Ethan and Lica pick Russell Wilson due to his dominance with Seattle's 5-0 record. To close out the show, all of the members discuss the ALCS/NLCS series in the MLB. Luca believes the Dodgers will fall to the Braves while Ryan believes the Rays and Astros series will be extended. Next week we'll invite our next guest on the show, so stay tuned!
