FULL SHOW: Bruns to USD, Gronowski & Bouman updates from their NFL markets, Timberwolves Talk after Game 2 trampling

Make that two college basketball players from South Dakota headed for the big NIL bucks and bright lights of the Big Ten.    A week after South Dakota State's Damon Wilkison announced he is headed to Nebraska, South Dakota's Isaac Bruns — the Summit League's per-game leading scorer (20.8) this past season — on Thursday announced his commitment to Southern California.   Bruns, the 2023 Gatorade Player of the Year for state champion Dakota Valley, will play for former Rapid City Thrillers (CBA) coach Eric Musselman — son of former Golden Gophers and Timberwolves head coach Bill Musselman.   This makes three South Dakota college players in the last two seasons that moved on to the Big Ten. Former Jackrabbit center Oscar Cluff — who likely made over $1 million in one season at Purdue — started and averaged 10.6 points and 7.6 rebounds for a Boilermakers squad that finished 30-9 and within one win of the Final Four.   With little reaction time before their Thirsty Thursday taping from Orion Pub, Sioux Falls Live sportswriter Trent Singer and the Happy Host gave their instant response to the news and opined about the positives of South Dakota's college basketball teams' best players repeatedly leaving for more NIL money year after year.   As in, don't expect another exhausting bitch session about the downfall of mid-major hoops in the NIL era. That's been done. A ton.    The hosts also ponder: Will Wilkinson or Bruns inch toward the kind of impact Cluff had in his one season on the biggest stage?   Also, some words about former SDSU quarterback Mark Gronowski and former USD QB Aidan Bouman, both now a week into their mini-camp stints. Hear what the Dolphins general manager said recently about Gronowski and what USA Today's Green Bay Packers website wrote about Bouman.   Timberwolves Talk   Minnesota got "punked" by the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, a 133-95 steamrolling in San Antonio. That's the word coach Chris Finch used, a word Anthony Edwards found "crazy" to use.   Sure, the series is now even at 1-1 and the Wolves still have home court advantage in what is now a best-of-five series, with the next two games in Minneapolis (Friday and Sunday).   But did that from-the-tip bludgeoning in Game 2 leave enough of a mark to convince observers the Spurts will keep the steam rolling?   Not so fast, my friend.   Our own Happy Hour Timberwolves talk panel — the host, USF men's basketball coach, and fellow die-hard Jon Oppold (owner of Orion Pub, a Wolves watch bar) — dissects how the Spurs boomeranged their way back into the series after Minnesota's Game 1 win and dive into how Finch can turn the tide back.   Other big-picture NBA Playoffs topics also developed during this discussion, like flopping. It hurts the Wolves in more ways than one and we wonder how (or if) it can be eliminated or curtailed.   And while flopping and 3-point jacking have, in some minds, diluted the NBA product in recent years, hear why today's game is still better (in some ways) than the "glory days" of the Bird-Magic-Jordan era.
