On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin" after two days of vacation, Al brings two guests back on the air with him. First, however, Al jumps on the boat that's still been rocking on the banks of the Red Cedar River. Miles Bridges, the freshman basketball star, is generating shockwaves and tangible repercussions since announcing his return for a sophomore year of college. Hear the latest on that note. Then, Aaron McMann, Detroit Pistons writer for MLive, joins Al and Isaac to talk about what's going on for the offseason-set Pistons. McMann expands on why he didn't give any perfect grades to the Pistons organization and why he thinks last year's season went off the tracks. The second guest, Anthony Ianni, knew that Miles Bridges was coming back all along. Anthony, former MSU basketball player and anti-bullying advocate, also talks about his incredible connection to the Autism awareness campaign, with it being "Autism Awareness Month."
