In the latest episode of Half-Court Press, Wilson Moore and Jon Walker make their debut in the brand-new Omaha World-Herald podcast studio with an end-of-summer update on both Nebraska and Creighton's basketball programs.

Jon begins the episode with news that had been on the rumor mill for a while: Greg McDermott and the Bluejays have completed its 2024-25 roster by signing international star Fedor Zugic (2:08) and dives into what the Montenegro native will bring to the Bluejays (7:34).

Next, Wilson recaps how former Huskers Keisei Tominaga and Jack McVeigh fared at the 2024 Paris Games (9:30) before the guys discuss why Keisei wasn't more involved in Japan's rotation.

The duo then discuss Purdue agreeing to a charity exhibition with Creighton and why events like these are important for college basketball and the communities its top schools serve (14:49).

The guys wind down the episode by looking ahead to Big Ten and Big East Media Days later this fall and determining each team's biggest storyline entering this season (18:10).

The two then give an update on 2025 recruiting, which players Creighton and Nebraska are targeting and what their strategy will be in the coming months along with what positions are a need (28:28).

Lastly, the crew debut a new segment on the show called "Pressing Question" to wrap up the episode (36:30).
