00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:07.719
Steve and Jakin Soles. They have
their Eye on the Ball on two Sons

2
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:13.679
Sports station, Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. Hey, welcome back, everybody.

3
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.000
I'm Steve Robera. He's a Jaca's
owns. You know, we've got our

4
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.160
guys, James said, with the
breaking news. This is Eye on the

5
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:28.120
Ball breaking news. Former Arizona guard
Kirk Crisa withdrawals from the transfer portal.

6
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:32.759
And well we're turning to West Virginia. That was not a surprise to me.

7
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.520
No, what what I mean,
that was the thing everybody wanted,

8
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.640
Um, you know, the assistant
coach to at least get the interim top

9
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.280
for them to stick around. I
mean, Kurt's got what this this is

10
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.880
last year right? Uh? Um, you could might have two because of

11
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.079
COVID year two. Yeah maybe yeah, but you know, I mean he

12
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.679
just yeah, I'm not yeah no, not not a shocker. Uh.

13
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.880
And it was probably done to help
them keep their team together. I think

14
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.000
one guy still laft. Yeah,
I think maybe another time. Another guy

15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.960
might have left again today, but
you're write two songs or something like that,

16
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.239
and there's another guy today. But
but Kurt did the same thing here.

17
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.760
Yeah, Sean left, he declared, came back after Tommy, was

18
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.640
after Tommy. Right, Yeah,
and that's fine. You know, people

19
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.359
lose their minds. Uh you know
what somebody declares like that. It's like

20
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:26.959
they're just creating making sure all their
options. Three star tight end Charlie Krowl

21
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.040
gives Arizona their seventeenth commitment for twenty
twenty four. Yeah, they're still out

22
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:37.400
there getting guys. That's what I
was talking about. I mean, seventeen,

23
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.799
They've got seventeen of their recruiting class
already lined up and it's still just

24
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.920
what's having July yet it's cue,
which is good, which is good.

25
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.319
We'll talk to him about just the
quality of players that he has come in

26
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.799
because he was supposed to or it
looked like he was stepping it up right.

27
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.480
No, we'll see if he's continued
to do that. Right, Arizona

28
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.799
Men's golf sophomore, they'd be Zach
Paulo has won the twenty twenty three California

29
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:07.199
Amateur at Lake Marquet. The California
Amateur, he said, yeah, California

30
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:09.639
Amateur. Yeah, he's like a
sophomores. Yeah, he's about to be

31
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:14.639
a sophomore. Yeah yeah, yeah, So congrats to him, have you

32
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.120
continue to see how good that Stanford
women's player is on the tour? I

33
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.520
mean she was in contention and one
of their majors, Um Rose Zang.

34
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.240
Oh yeah, she's really good.
She was at Stanford at Stanford, Yeah

35
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.800
yeah, yeah yeah. On top
of that, she's smart. The Sugar

36
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:38.280
Skulls defeated the Northern Arizona Wranglers Wranglers
this past weekend and looked to a playoff

37
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:45.560
spot this upcoming on Saturday against the
Vegas Nighthawks. This make the Sugar Skulls

38
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.039
are making zero sense to me.
We'll have we'll have somebody from the Sugar

39
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:51.840
Skulls on this week. They are
they're six and five or se give me

40
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:57.639
seven and five. Okay, they're
two and four at home, five and

41
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:04.159
one on the road. That's strange. Yeah. Yeah. They lost two

42
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.639
games at home to San Diego,
but beat San Diego at their place.

43
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:12.000
Um, they split with Bay Area. They beat Bay Area on the road

44
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:16.159
and lost to them year. Um
they split with the Wranglers, lost to

45
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.560
them here and beat them over there. So they're in position. They're still

46
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.280
in position to host a playoff game. They're they're in third place, but

47
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.439
they're tied with Bay Area in the
lost column Bay Areas eight and five or

48
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.319
sure, when would that happen?
If that was the case, it would

49
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:37.680
be the playoff game would be uh
July twenty seconds, Okay, that weekend,

50
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.599
Okay, so you might be busy
with that, right, yeah,

51
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.599
Saturday. But the Sugar Scalls have
three games left. They got the Vegas

52
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:51.719
Nighthawks this weekend at home against UH
at six o'clock. This this is the

53
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.439
game where they'll not after this game, they'll have the same number of games

54
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.639
as Bay Areas, So they both
have two games left and those are the

55
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.840
two that are fighting for second place
over Northern Arizona. Was important because it

56
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.919
puts a little distance between the Sugar
Skulls and in fourth place. You know,

57
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.680
you want to be in second or
third. Because the Rattlers have gotten

58
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.199
their stuff together and they're in first
place in the division, the fourth place

59
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.040
team is gonna have to play them
in the first round of the playoffs.

60
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.040
Although the Sugar Skalls did beat them, So I don't know what the hell's

61
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:23.360
going on, but we'll h you
know, uh, she'd be a good

62
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.480
and you know, another good game
this weekend. They got Vegas coming into

63
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:31.000
town on Saturday. Okay, awesome
National News Mercury the Meinix Mercury parways with

64
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.800
their head coach, Vanessa nine Guard
and names Nicky Blue interim head coach for

65
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.800
their manager of the twenty twenty three
season. I was surprised there are two

66
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.000
and ten. She's been there a
couple of years, right. Uh.

67
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.199
Former Julie Brossi was one of the
coaches there before before she had come on.

68
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.319
I think she tried to get the
job. I could be wrong.

69
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:54.720
Uh. And they're too intend with
with the grinder back and Torossi there too.

70
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.680
Yeah. Kind of strange, right, You think you think to be

71
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.879
better to give me decent Right,
you can't be too intend and there,

72
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:02.759
and the season is not long enough
for you to sure recover from that.

73
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.399
They got, they got, they
had to do something now. Yeah.

74
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:10.759
Victor wen Biama is deciding to skip
the Feeble World Cup to prepare for his

75
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.720
rookie NBA season. Saw that.
But he wants to play in the Olympics,

76
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.279
right, But yeah, but he's
gonna skip them. Now. Did

77
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:25.000
you see the other feeble news about
uh Bank Carrol Um I briefly saw had

78
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.399
committed to play for Italy. He's
an Italian citizen as well. He committed

79
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.879
to play for Italy and then today
announced that he's gonna play for the US.

80
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.800
Yeah, and how Italy is pissed? How did he? How did

81
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.720
he did he win working the year? No? He did, Yeah he

82
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.360
did. He he was kind of
not descripting what I heard. I didn't

83
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:43.879
even know that. Yeah he was. He was pretty good. I mean,

84
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.279
he's pretty good player. He just
lost and where he's playing at right?

85
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.279
Yeah? Yeah, then you know, big supermark or anything. But

86
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.800
they have a bunch of good players. They had the Gonzaga kid that was

87
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.439
there and yeah, and Aaron Gordon
had to leave there to get a title.

88
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.160
That was a lot of good young
talents. Um, it's just you

89
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.160
know, no one's really like,
no one's like coming out like the superstar

90
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.480
like you know, so they're young
team kind of see where they're going to

91
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:09.079
go in the future. But yeah, I was, I was surprised by

92
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.079
that. I thought he was gonna
play for Italy. I don't know what

93
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.480
you did you see what made him
like? Yeah? I did? It

94
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.839
didn't it didn't stay said that he
changed his mind. Okay, whatever reason,

95
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:21.600
Yeah, okay, what people change
their mind? Go figure, right,

96
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.959
Um, the Hawks traded John Collins
to the Jazz for Rudy Gay and

97
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.360
if you just look around pick m
hmm um. So this trade was mostly

98
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:39.399
just for Atlanta to unload John Collins
the country's massive contract. So that's all

99
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.279
they're trying to do. Kind of
I didn't even know Rudy Gai was still

100
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.720
playing. Yeah me, neither honestly
to us all this, So they're really

101
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.040
just trying to build flexibility and kind
of just makes some more moves I think

102
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.959
to kind of, you know,
improve Trey Youngs and do you john to

103
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.079
his chances of trying to do something
in the East. Did you see the

104
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:58.319
Big Game? Boomer went on and
named Atlanta the worst sports city in America.

105
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.800
Oh wow, No, I didn't
know that. And then I'm like,

106
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:01.920
okay, why do you you know, why do you say that?

107
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:08.279
I mean, what, what's what's
the um? What's the teria? And

108
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.120
he and he said something like,
it's you know, because they they you

109
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.759
know, they have all the was
your list or yeah there was a list,

110
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.040
um they And he said it's not
you know, because they have you

111
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.399
know, super Bowls and you know
the college football playoffs. They're like they

112
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.920
said, it's not because it's not
the difficult support sports. It's that they

113
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.079
don't support their home teams. That
that you know, they don't you know,

114
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.120
they don't support the Hawks or you
know people go see Hawks games to

115
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.279
see the other team. Uh,
well, they don't win. I mean

116
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.560
teams, teams will win, you
know, fans show up something I see

117
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.720
a lot of like celebrities go out
and support the Hawks. I mean I

118
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.519
don't know that, uh he said. Uh. He said. The list

119
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.319
is based on fans support. At
Land is the best city to host big

120
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.879
games, you know, the college
football playoff, the Final Four, the

121
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.639
Super Bowl, but excluding the Braves
and atl United their soccer team, they

122
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.360
do not show support for their home
teams. People go to Hawks games to

123
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.000
watch Stars play. People go to
Falcons games to watch their favorite team,

124
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.040
and Georgia Tech fans are given up. Who's number two? Is there?

125
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.439
Two? Uh? Well? And
oh later he said, he said,

126
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.759
after sleeping on this, I think
Orlando might be worse than Atlanta. Yeah

127
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:26.240
I was, but he had he
had. His original list was, uh,

128
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:33.799
Atlanta, Charlotte, San Diego,
Orlando, Phoenix, Tampa Bay,

129
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.679
Baltimore, Miami, Los Angeles DC. Okay, I mean yeah, I'm

130
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.519
not I'm not too keen on all
all of them. But San Diego,

131
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.360
he lost their NFL team, San
Diego, the Clippers are no criteria,

132
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.919
right, you couldn't even keep your
team. I don't even have a team.

133
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.799
Would they have the Padres? I
guess? And and soccer I guess

134
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.759
right, Yeah, that's about it. But Orlando have to San Diego strike

135
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:05.759
for in the Indoor Football League,
there's right, there's U and in Los

136
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.240
Angeles, right, the fan there's
too much, you know, too much

137
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.559
going on there, right, there's
just too many things to do. I

138
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.519
mean the Dodgers and the Lakers and
that, and that's even the Rams.

139
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.919
I mean, you know, they
got their new stadiums, but they got

140
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:20.799
their super And if you don't win, Jay, people don't show up.

141
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.360
That's I guarantee you. If the
if the Sugar Sculls and I don't didn't

142
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.679
ask you about the attendance, but
if they want and they were like und

143
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.559
if nine and one or whatever,
the people would go, yeah, you

144
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:37.080
don't have two son is and and
winning solves a lot of problems. Yeah,

145
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.399
Which is the best the best sports
down well, he had, he

146
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.480
had a list of the best.
Oh, here's the here's this list.

147
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:50.759
Boston, Boston, Austin's number three. Okay, Boston, uh, Dallas

148
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.919
number one, number one, number
one, who did you take a shot?

149
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.039
Boston would have been mine. Not
in New York. Yeah, he

150
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:09.360
has them in the top ten though. They're six. Miami, no sportsdowns.

151
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.399
Kansas City, Kansas City because of
football city, probably mostly because of

152
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.679
the Chiefs, but you know the
Royals. Yeah, okay, that's strange,

153
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.759
and then it's gonna be a hard
one for you. But you better

154
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.759
think football rather than Cowboys. No, no, no, Dallas isn't even

155
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:33.600
on the list. Do that makes
sense? Um? Not Houston, he

156
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:39.559
said, Not in New York because
also not Boston. That's three. While

157
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.639
you're getting stop in Miami. Pittsburgh, Yeah, they have boiled people.

158
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.679
You know, they're hockey very much
a big deal. I have relatives.

159
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.240
It makes sense. It's freason over
there, but it makes sense. Here's

160
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:56.279
the here's his top ten list.
Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia,

161
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:00.080
Chicago, New York, Seattle,
Minneapolis, Denver, Houston. That

162
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.399
makes sense. Okay, Yeah,
in Chicago would be huge if they ever

163
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.759
won in football because they've been batters. He said. Kansas City and Pittsburgh

164
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:13.000
are one and two because they both
strongly support college and professional supports. You

165
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.600
can't say that about the other big
cities. Yeah, worsh Phoenix the one

166
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.679
of the worst, fifth worse.
Yeah, that makes sense, that makes

167
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.720
sense. Okay, Yeah, all
right, that's all that breaking I have.

168
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.080
Okay, I have one. I
have one involved in former you a

169
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.480
basketball player? Um uh, I
just love a guy who I thought I

170
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.120
jumped too soon, but he had
no choice but to jump too soon?

171
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.960
Was it was? Um Johnson?
Stanny Johnson. He's gonna be working out

172
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.519
with the sons. With the sons, Um, maybe there's a good chance

173
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.360
to land there. He was in
twenty fifteen, twenty and fifteen to sixteen

174
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.320
and he did one and done.
Guy. You hardly knew anything about him,

175
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.279
right, good player? Um,
but he's been seven years, did

176
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.159
you? I heard today on NBA
today that the lifespan on an NBA player,

177
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.360
give me a guess, lifespan like
three or four years. It was

178
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:01.399
like four four and a half,
three and out four years. Yeah,

179
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.840
hey, you gotta be four years
and make your money better. And that's

180
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.639
why they're jumping, and everyone thinks
you're gonna be there forever, right,

181
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:13.679
yeah, And it doesn't work that
way. Everybody well, and because every

182
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.799
year a new crop up young dudes
show up to take you to more athletic

183
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.480
and younger than you. And this
guy was pretty good. He couldn't shoot,

184
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.120
he couldn't shoot, but he's lasted
on and off for the different so

185
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.480
he's gonna be trying to make in
Phoenix. Yeah, I saw that.

186
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.080
You know, he's he was a
mystery to me because yeah, yeah,

187
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.720
he for a guy who was the
one and done, he wasn't you know,

188
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.960
he wasn't a dominant player at all. No, No, he was

189
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.240
just never he walked on the court. Wait and see what's Stanley Johnson dinna

190
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.559
do today. I remember doing a
story and Damon was an assistant coach then,

191
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.240
and obviously people know I'm closer to
Damon. I pulled him aside his

192
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.320
how coues he gonna be? He
says, if he stays, and if

193
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.159
he stays, he's gonna be the
best player to ever come to through Arizona.

194
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.200
Of course we all knew he wasn't. He wasn't going to everything right

195
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.480
right, I was never the plan. Yeah, did you see changes?

196
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.440
Did you see the thing with with
Derek Jeter on the on the game and

197
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:15.399
in Poppy gave him a Red Sox
jersey which his name Jeter on the back.

198
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.320
He just threw it to the side. He won't be seeing me anymore.

199
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.799
He quit. That was very very
cool, But that but it is.

200
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:31.360
I don't think Derek Jeter is uh
thirty, thirty eight, thirty eight?

201
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:33.039
There he is thirty. You think
he's thirty eight. I think he's

202
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:39.879
thirty. He's forty nine. Your
I was just gonna say thirty eight.

203
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.240
Damn you don't. He played twenty
years more more exactly. That's where I

204
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.120
screwed up. But more puss.
Have you have you seen his um,

205
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.720
his his you know he played for
the inks for but his playing field of

206
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.600
women, did he? Yes,
I've seen that. Holy that's been the

207
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.200
payer in every position. Yes,
that was holy. That was unbelievable.

208
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.519
All right, okay, wait fifty
seconds real quick. Two four seven Sports

209
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.120
came out with their twenty twenty three
UH records for the for football. They

210
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.960
have Arizona at five and seven,
tied with Colorado, Happy Unhappy tied it

211
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.360
with Colorado Colorado. Are you that's
not gonna keep you happy? No,

212
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.159
you don't think that's gonna keep fans
happy. It's not gonna keep fans happy.

213
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.679
No, I think that's what's gonna
happen five and seven. I'll agree

214
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:28.360
with them. Okay, you want
to go over under five and a half?

215

Hutchinson from goascatch dot com. Troy,

264
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.680
how are you good? How about
you guys? We're doing well. We

265
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:33.000
wanted to pick your brain about some
recruiting, football and basketball. Our first

266
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:38.920
basketball how's your weekend following the Tommy
loiterone, I'll tell you what it was

267
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.799
hot. It was one hundred and
eleven up there in Glendale and the talent

268
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:47.519
was like that too. A lot
of five star recruits out there. Obviously

269
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:52.559
Carter Bryant, Arizona newest commitment on
the basketball trail. He got to go

270
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.440
up against Boozer Twins and that was
a very interesting contest. And then you

271
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:02.799
have Isaiah Elam who is a four
star guard six five, can shoot the

272
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.039
ball, kind of an underrated prospect. Pretty good there. And one of

273
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:15.920
my personal favorites Tanu Yazoo. He's
a six five, wiry athletic guy that

274
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:19.000
really surprises you when you watch it. Is it just total chaos up there

275
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.799
at that thing. With all the
games that were going on in that in

276
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:25.759
that facility, that just has to
be madness And how do you get your

277
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:29.480
arms around who to go watch and
all that kind of stuff. Yeah,

278
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.079
you know, Luckily I had some
team out with me and today the last

279
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.599
couple of days with Mam Breno and
Kelly, so she was able to come

280
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.119
out there too, and we were
all over the place. They were attacking

281
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.079
one court, I was attacking the
other. As Like you said, it's

282
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.720
madness. You have games going on
at the same time and it's a huge

283
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:49.720
event. Not only do you have
college coaches, but like I ran into

284
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.000
Kenny Smith who was just there to
watch some hoops. I know, Larry

285
00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:57.880
Fitzgerald's been there before and big games
come to really watch that event, and

286
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.839
it's the best talent from across the
country. Yeah, how did this count

287
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.759
to fruition given that Vegas was always
the prime spot for summer basketball. Now

288
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.680
Phoenixes or Glendale is kind of not
taken over, but is now big.

289
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.839
Yeah. I think there was a
huge calling for it because as you look

290
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:19.559
across the state of Arizona, especially
up in that Glendale and Phoenix area,

291
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:26.440
of the talent level with you know, academies and whatnot has risen since the

292
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.279
days of DeAndre Aden and Marvin Bagley. You've seen more and more talent go

293
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.480
to that area. So I think
with the collection of talent and just the

294
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:37.839
willpower out there, they were able
to put this together. And I remember

295
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:42.359
in its first few years, this
used to be at eight different high schools

296
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:48.079
across Phoenix in Glendale, so you
would have to travel to a certain spot

297
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:49.960
and hope the kid was there,
hope you got the right spot. And

298
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:55.240
now they're able to put it in
the Cardinals football stadium and it's just a

299
00:20:55.279 --> 00:21:00.839
wonderful event. So you I mean, you mentioned a you guys that particularly,

300
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.680
you know, some guys that have
already committed and stuff. So you

301
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.960
know, what's what's the purpose of
a Carter Bryant going to play in something

302
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.000
like this if he's you know,
if he's already lined up what school he's

303
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:11.960
going to go do? What are
they getting out of this? You know?

304
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:17.599
I think one, it's recognition nationally. Not only you know, is

305
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:21.279
he a four start recruit that's committed
to Arizona, But I'm sure he wants

306
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:25.160
to make a McDonald's All American team, A five B A five start recruit

307
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:27.039
at the end of the day.
So it's kind of like a showcase.

308
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:33.079
And you know, it never hurts
going up against elite level talent even though

309
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.079
you are committed to a school.
That doesn't mean schools stop recruiting you.

310
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.720
And kids know that. And I
mean, I think Arizon is still in

311
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:45.079
a great position with Carter Brian and
he should sign come signing day. But

312
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.119
you know, you always want to
keep your options open and you just don't

313
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:51.799
want to close off from the rest
of the basketball world. I saw some

314
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:56.240
pictures with you, with Tommy and
the whole staff all see all at one

315
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.559
one place. Were they kind of
mingling with the places too or were they

316
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.799
kind of all impacts going to watch
these kids. You know, that staff

317
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:08.480
is very interesting. They kind of
pair off into twos and go to watch

318
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.359
different kids throughout the day. But
the kid that they were watching at that

319
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:19.279
moment was Kop from Prairie and he's
a five star power forward who's six eight

320
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.799
two fifteen, very athletic kid,
more like a point forward, has the

321
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.880
ball in his hands. And you
saw the Arizona coaching staff. All four

322
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:32.039
of their coaches were there, so
he's high on their priority list. It's

323
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:36.640
a local kid who you know has
Arizona UCLA. I think Kansas is on

324
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:40.279
the offer list as well. The
kid has every offer in the book and

325
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:47.160
Arizona really wants to make him a
priority. How much of a factor is

326
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:49.559
just the right look right? Like
you said, all four coaches went to

327
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.440
watch this guy play as opposed to
just one coach, right, do you

328
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.480
think the players should notice and pay
attention to that kind of stuff to feel

329
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.599
like and do the coaches feel like
they have to pay the right amount of

330
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.440
attention to somebody to make sure that
they've they've got their attention I mean,

331
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:10.039
how much of a game says that
play these types of things. Yeah,

332
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.200
you know, I think even when
you have a commit like Carter Brian,

333
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:17.279
you want to make sure that the
kid still feels loved, welcome and a

334
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:19.480
part of the Arizona family, a
part of the team that you're trying to

335
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.880
recruit him too. So I think
that plays a huge factor in it.

336
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.720
And then yeah, I think the
kids do see the coaches there. I

337
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.559
mean, how can he not.
They're right there on the sideline, but

338
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.319
they're so focused in on the game. You don't see them looking over at

339
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.640
the coaches or they're they're tuned in
with their team and they're worried about that

340
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.680
moment and that Pete. They lost
that game and he fouled out with three

341
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.359
minutes left in the game in a
very close game. He was very unhappy.

342
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.079
The coach is very unhappy. He
was still gracious enough to do the

343
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:53.240
interview after the fact, and you
know, he he clearly noticed that Arizona

344
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:56.599
was on the sideline and other coaches
as well. So I saw Tommy there

345
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.119
too. He did he did a
impromptu press conference or some kind of press

346
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.880
conference or is that normal? Yeah, you know, last year, they

347
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.680
let everybody know ahead of time that
they're going to have an inprom press conference

348
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.319
in the coaches room, so we
were able to get out to that.

349
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.440
This one was kind of spur of
the moment for the Phoenix media since he

350
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.119
already did the one with the Tucson
media the day before, but we were

351
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.519
still able to get out there.
But it's very much similar to how it

352
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.319
was in Tucson. Not a thirty
minute press conference, but more of the

353
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.920
state of the program and what he
gets and what the program gets out of

354
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.480
an event like this. Were other
coaches privy to that too, you know

355
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.039
that were there or just him?
You know, you know it was it

356
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.960
was just him. Their assistant coaches
were not part of that. I'm talking

357
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.240
about national because it looks like he
had a little advantage with that or Wash

358
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:48.759
Okay, I see what you're saying. Yeah, No, there were coaches

359
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.920
all across the country, Like Baylor's
head coach was there, Tony Bennett was

360
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.960
there from Virginia. Those were some
of the coaches that I noticed right away.

361
00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:03.000
I've seen coach Um who was Sean
Miller there in the past, even

362
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:07.240
with them being at Xavier. So
there's coaches from all across the country east

363
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:10.880
coast, West coast that go there
on you know, in Arizona that weekend.

364
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:12.559
Yeah no. My point with though, was he he had a press

365
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.039
conference. Did any of the other
ones have a press conference? But it

366
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.440
was mostly for the Age for the
Phoenix media, Yeah no, I didn't.

367
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.720
I don't know of any other press
conferences. I'm sure Bobby Early had

368
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.079
some of the somewhat of a press
conference since he was out there, but

369
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.440
as far as I know, it
was only coach Lloyd's right, Well,

370
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:36.880
noybody else give a shout out to
Jay uh so. So I'm sure that

371
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:42.599
the block A continues to be a
visible thing for it still has that power,

372
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.240
right if you have the recruiting out
there, Jay's there and jays Um

373
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.559
Tommy's there with his assistants. You
know what I'm saying, it's still one

374
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:56.920
of the major programs. They're very
much. I think they're right there with

375
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.000
if you see Kansas out there,
if you see Duke out there, you

376
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:04.519
know Baylor as of late Virginia right
now it's Tony Bennett. When you see

377
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.640
those coaches out there, you really
take notice. Yeah there. Well,

378
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:12.440
I've never denied that part of it. Hey, this god of football.

379
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:15.240
Now, a lot of a lot
of things going on with Jed. How's

380
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.759
it going on that side? You
know, they've gotten a lot of commitments

381
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.799
over the last twelve thirteen days.
I believe the numbers up to twelve commitments

382
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.640
over the last fourteen days or so. Right now on rivals they have seventeen

383
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.920
commitments, sitting at number thirty two
in the country. They just added Charlie

384
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:37.599
Krowe from Oregon, a six five
three stars tight end who's pretty athletic,

385
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:42.839
kind of sneaky athleticism, great hands, and recently also Keanu Wilhei from South

386
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.640
Playing, which I think is maybe
one of the biggest guts of the recruiting

387
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:48.640
class so far for Jed. Fishing
and staff, Well, that's a big

388
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.640
deal. We talked about that last
week that you know, for Jed to

389
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.920
go pull a guy out of sal
Point, which they haven't been able to

390
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:57.799
do. There've been some great players
coming out of there and they've all gone

391
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:00.400
elsewhere to go get a at a
south Point. You got to get that

392
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:03.640
foot in the door over there.
How important you think that is to Jet's

393
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:08.759
program. I think it's huge because
not only is a kid out of South

394
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:14.039
Point, but you also have Elijah
rushing there their teammates that they're very close

395
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:17.519
to one another, So that gets
your foot in the door there as well.

396
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:19.440
And getting your foot in the door
at South Point right now is very

397
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:23.720
important because it's not only those two, but they do have underclass and software

398
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:29.039
and freshmen that are going to be
important roles coming up. And you know,

399
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:33.119
I saw them on campus and some
of these kids are as big as

400
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:38.160
Elijah, as big as Kanu,
which is very impressive. So is the

401
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:45.880
quality of the seventeen up to par
compared to other places or other places compared

402
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.200
to Arizona. So they really had
a great recruiting class a couple of years.

403
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.599
How does this fit in compared to
the last two? You know,

404
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:55.400
I think it's going to be somewhere
in the middle between the two. I

405
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:57.559
don't know if they will be as
low as last season, which I think

406
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.519
last seasons was under the rare.
I do like a lot of those players

407
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.680
that they got on the defensive side
of the football, But right now you're

408
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:08.039
looking at a lot of mixture between
the two. They have ten offensive commits

409
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.720
and seven defensive commits, so it's
a very good mixture. They have three

410
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.400
guys on the line of scrimmage on
defense and then three or four guys on

411
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:21.319
offense. So it's really to me
primarily about the line of scrimmage, building

412
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:25.279
the depth of your offensive line,
and getting guys that could potentially be good

413
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:29.119
role pieces in their first couple of
seasons and then see the field as full

414
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:32.359
time starters later down the line.
Up front, you know, I mean,

415
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:36.240
the program got so bad and as
Jed started recruiting, I mean,

416
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:41.359
he was getting guys that he needed
to help him right now, what's how

417
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.000
is that now? I mean,
there's no some of these recruits, there's

418
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.440
not a lot is there a lot
of urgencies still define guys who can contribute

419
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:53.400
right away? Or as you said, are they building depth? I think

420
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:57.799
this one's more about building depth.
But if you find the right pieces that

421
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:02.319
can help right away, you're definitely
gonna take them. And I think one

422
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:07.119
of those pieces might be Elijah down
the road, depending upon how his recruitment

423
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.599
goes. I know he's going to
say he just took that trip to Tennessee

424
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.880
and he's going to make his announcement
sometime in July, So that's coming up

425
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.960
soon. Um, personally, I
think Arizona is right in the mix,

426
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:22.440
and that's the guy that can be
a starter from day one at Arizona.

427
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:26.279
So pardon me if I didn't pay
attention to this, but you tweeted somebody

428
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:33.720
today somebody is going after an Arizona
commit already. Somebody is fine after him.

429
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.799
Oh no, no, they they
lost out on a recruit who visited

430
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:45.039
Tucson, Washington landed Omar Khan from
Texas, a defensive linement that committed today.

431
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.400
Well, I thought I thought there
was somebody because they deleted their tweet

432
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.400
that someone Stanford was going to go
after somebody from Arizona. Um, maybe

433
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.839
maybe i'm miss smissaud or something that
there was got a commitment, but some

434
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:02.039
of the schools are still going after
him. No, right, no,

435
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:07.880
it doesn't. It doesn't, Rainbow, Okay, we get a look confused,

436
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.079
delusional. We had a look confused
over here. You know, we

437
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.319
think we read something and it was
something we read two weeks ago or whatever.

438
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:17.880
So I mean overall, I mean, did I hear you say that

439
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:22.119
Arizona currently is ranked thirty second in
the country in football recruiting. Yeah,

440
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:26.559
there's thirty thirty two, right,
now on rivals dot Com. So I

441
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.119
mean when you're there, I mean, you gotta feel pretty good about yourself.

442
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:32.880
If you're Arizona. I mean,
if you're Michigan, you're not happy

443
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.480
that you're thirty two. But if
you're Arizona, you gotta be pretty happy

444
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:37.680
with that, don't you. Yeah, you know, I think anytime you

445
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:42.160
can finish in the top thirty five
at Arizona or places like that, I

446
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:45.079
think you have to be pretty happy. You know. Jed was able to

447
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.920
land that twenty first ring recruiting class
in the country a few years back,

448
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.400
and he talked about, you know, building it to top ten, top

449
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.359
fifteen. But even though you might
not be able to accomplish that goal,

450
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.440
you still have to feel pretty happy
about the number thirty two rinked recruiting class

451
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.359
in the country right now. Yes, there's going to be guys that two

452
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:07.559
schools and things will move around,
and as you know, other schools spell

453
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.039
out their recruiting class. But if
you can end up in that range,

454
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:15.960
that's great depth. You have potential
starters there. You know, depending upon

455
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.720
how things work in the transfer portal
and whatnot. You never know today,

456
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:22.920
but I think it's a great building
box for Jetfish as he continues to build

457
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:27.359
up this program. Okay, so
now I'm gonna pick your brain for ours.

458
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:33.480
We just gonna make a wager five
and seven. Yeah, Jay Steve

459
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.079
says five and seven. I'm saying
more than five. I'm going six and

460
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.799
six at least. I think right
now, when you look at the schedule,

461
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.759
I think there are six wins for
Arizona and one upset. I think

462
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:51.119
Arizona is gonna win seven games this
year. Now, I'll wait till training

463
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.839
camp because I think that's gonna you
know, you'll see exactly what you have

464
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:57.240
coming in. But I like what
they did on the defensive side of the

465
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.160
ball. The offense is going to
be really good. The offensive line I

466
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:04.880
think will be much better than last
season. And I think another year in

467
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.720
the system, Arizona is going to
be able to get to that seven wind

468
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:10.200
marker during the regular season. And
that's mostly because you think that Arizona is

469
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:14.599
going to be better than last year. I do. I think the offense

470
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.759
is going to be top twenty five
offense. They were kind of on the

471
00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:20.319
border of that last season, but
I think they're going to cut down on

472
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:23.160
the turnovers Jadeen Delora another year in
the system is going to be huge.

473
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:27.519
And you look at that offensive line. Yeah, Jordan Morgan back, you

474
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:31.640
have you know, Jonah Sign of
SIDNEYA. You have Will window Mo,

475
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:37.240
you have Josh Baker back as well. But you also have Raymond Polito,

476
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.240
who I think is going to be
a huge factor in this Are they going

477
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:44.599
to line him up at guard his
first season or play him at left at

478
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:49.640
right tackle? I don't know,
but he's a massive human being, very

479
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:53.720
talented guy. Anytime you can get
a guy away from Alabama to commit to

480
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:57.480
Arizona, it's a good thing.
I think their offensive line is in the

481
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.119
best shape it's been really since the
Rich Rod around. So you know,

482
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:04.039
I love you, Troy, but
let me tell you, well, everyone

483
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:07.039
else is getting better. I mean, well, Arizone is getting better.

484
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:08.920
Guess what everyone else is doing.
They're getting better, for sure, they're

485
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:14.279
getting better. I'm sorry to tell
you, kid. I love you Troy

486
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:16.880
for sure, but but I'll say
this, I do. I do think

487
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:22.359
Arizona's schedule sets up well. That
they start PAC twelve player on the road

488
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:24.839
at Stanford and all the turmoil that
they're going through right now in terms of

489
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.960
changing over the coaches and getting in
their new system. And you still have

490
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:36.240
a su and Colorado in that division. So there, Troy, I love

491
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:37.839
you, but I love you,
but thanks for coming on the show.

492
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:43.759
I have a good one. Guy, Stay busy this summer. We'll talk

493
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:47.359
to you again. Troy Hudson's I
know, I saw a tweet that there

494
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.079
was something. Now it's been deleted. Okay, I'm not it's not one

495
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:52.960
hundred and ten and out there,
but that somebody decommitted from Arizona. Some

496
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:57.880
of them know that he was committed
here and somebody was chasing him. Still,

497
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.359
you know how that is. They
but that was still you know,

498
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:05.599
you make a commitment and other people
are saying you want to dance, you

499
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:07.840
want to dance. Yeah, sure
it happens, but then but it's gone.

500
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:12.599

in my new book, Lessons from Lute.

504
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:25.320
It was a labor of love through
the eyes of twenty five former players

505
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:30.239
coaches and friends to give insight to
the coach and the man who led them,

506
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:32.800
competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his twenty

507
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:37.119
five years as Arizona's beloved coach.
Lessons from Lute is an insight to how

508
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:42.920
he built the program into a national
powerhouse. What one email me at Steve

555
00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:05.960
to the Bucking on Fox Sports fourteen. Good. I'm Steve. He's checking

556
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:08.840
off and forever, in my mind, Derek Jeters will be thirty eight years

557
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:15.679
old forever. Chris just like popped
in to give me some crap about that.

558
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:16.880
I mean, he went out of
his way to come over here.

559
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:21.639
That's light you up. He lives
here here, he has else to do.

560
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:23.599
But he's right. I mean,
how did I think there's thirty eight?

561
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:29.280
He because he looks pretty good.
Wow. Yeah, he moisturizes.

562
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:35.960
I'm sure damn it doesn't have been. The Tucson heat makes your face look

563
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:40.800
like you'd leather. Okay, Hey, I wanted to say, um that

564
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:49.440
we didn't say for Breaking News was
that Boswell and Philippe played very well.

565
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:52.000
And I didn't meant to say this
last week when they you know, we're

566
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:57.599
talking to Tommy. We saw Philippe
last year. Luckily in in practice,

567
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.679
I thought he was fantastic. Uh
he just was playing behind some guys and

568
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:06.800
I'm thinking, who is this guy? And he didn't play obviously, but

569
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:09.000
I think he's going to be a
big surprise that that's again, that's one

570
00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:13.159
of the things about this the whole
you know, Tommy, you know,

571
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.679
Tommy's lost it kind of things,
you know, because how he mentioned Harry

572
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:21.519
had he said, exactly, he's
really good, Exactly, he just didn't

573
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:24.440
get a chance to play. And
come on, how many seven foot whatever

574
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:28.840
have he seven or seven two are
able to kind of just right away just

575
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:32.519
show up and play. Yeah,
it doesn't happen, doesn't happen. And

576
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:37.639
then all of a sudden he took
this giant lead, he Philippe. And

577
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:39.480
I know I spoke to Henry,
you know, for media day that one

578
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:43.159
day. I spent a lot of
time when him thinking after the Red Blue

579
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:46.559
game, because he was looking very
good a stretch a stretch center um that

580
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:50.880
he was going to have a better
year than he did. But come on,

581
00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:53.280
how many people show up right the
way and exactly that doesn't happen.

582
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:59.840
And when you hear Tommy talked about
how it took it took uh Kylin Boswell

583
00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:02.400
in to January. He kind of
figured things out and he knew that would

584
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:05.679
happen, and he knew that was
gonna happen. The same, you know,

585
00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:07.960
the same with Henry Henry Bassar.
It's like, it's just gonna take

586
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:10.280
these guys some time to figure this
stuff out. No. I agree.

587
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:14.840
If he didn't think Henry Vassar was
a really good player, he's not recruiting

588
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:16.840
Henry Vassar right, right. And
then the new kid to have right,

589
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:22.320
the tall kids stretch, another stretch, another another big talk kids. Yeah,

590
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:24.360
guys, just you know, let
him get on the court. Let's

591
00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:27.239
see what it looks like. And
they're, you know what, they're gonna

592
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.480
have some games early. They are
gonna tell the pot about their team.

593
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:32.840
Yeah, and this team has happened. This team is gonna be very special,

594
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:37.800
I think, especially in the PAC
twelve point there's a lot of change,

595
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:39.920
Yeah, a lot of change.
Yeah. So we got the Florida

596
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:44.760
LSU game on uh Florida hit the
two run homer in the bottom of the

597
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:47.320
first up to nothing, but LSU
has come back. He got the bases

598
00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:51.280
loaded, one out and one run
in the game, and they just got

599
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:53.400
another one. A guy got beaned
with the bases loaded, so that one

600
00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:58.360
was already tied. What somebody else
one out? Okay, it's gonna be

601
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:01.559
another slug fest. Um the guy
that got hit in the first inning too,

602
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:07.840
So who is a tank that tank
guy? Yeah, because he's been

603
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:12.800
bombings. This one hurt dude.
This one hit him like on the forearm.

604
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.519
At that can't feel good. Oh
what about a ninety five? Oh

605
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:20.719
it hit him, It hit off
his wrist, hit him in the wrist,

606
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:27.039
and recochet did and hit him in
the chest. Okay, we have

641
00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:38.400
you. We're gonna call I'm rolling
my bones and burning my incense right now.

642
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:43.679
So what are you better? Over
everything? The way he left,

643
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:45.960
the way he didn't talk about,
you know where, he never said anything.

644
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:47.519
He just disappeared in the middle of
the night like the Baltimore Coats,

645
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:53.400
blinking away, you know, the
Cleveland Browns. And I have no respect

646
00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:59.400
for him. None. None,
and you're a big follower too. Well,

647
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:02.480
yeah, that's why, you know. I couldn't even talk to Larry

648
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:06.280
Smith Untilary retired and move back to
Tucson. I couldn't even think about him.

649
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:12.960
I'm sure I threw everything purple away
in my house. I don't say

650
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:19.639
those USL letters in the right right
sequence. If I have any friends named

651
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:21.880
Jay, I don't even talk to
him last day, the last time I

652
00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:29.119
talked to him. Wow, this
is yeah, okay, okay, fine,

653
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:32.159
Yeah, I'm bitter, okay,
textual, I love the bitterness.

654
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:36.719
Yeah, I text Jay about the
Dodgers. He never answers me back until

655
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:38.519
they win a game or two.
Still doesn't come. You know what,

656
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:44.440
I'm not texting. I'm not responding
to anybody about the Dodgers right now because

657
00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:47.440
it can only end bad for me, so I don't. So I'm ghosting

658
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:52.159
anybody who wants to talk to me
about the Dodgers right now. That explains

659
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:54.559
every Yeah, they're in third place
behind the Giants. I mean, I'm

660
00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:58.960
just and as soon as they jump
ahead of the Diamondbacks, then you'll start

661
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:00.480
answering your text. Yeah, then
I'm back, and I'm back. I'm

662
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:02.840

he has been texting me and I
have not been answering on purpose.

675
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:53.119
Well it was Dodges. I saw
them lose last last night to the Astros.

676
00:45:53.559 --> 00:46:00.239
Wow, they you know they um, well they should have been in

677
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:04.360
the game then they were, So
now it's a was it a box?

678
00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:07.159
Yeah? Well they know they won
Saturday night on a box. That's what

679
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:13.079
I'm They boxed to tie the road
was a buck. Yeah. Um,

680
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:17.679
they called it a bock Saturday it
I don't know because I saw I didn't

681
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:22.639
they they they played it the next
day was played. They kept playing very

682
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:24.159
slow. They said he twitched his
right knee. I didn't see it,

683
00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:30.599
and they said technically technically it's a
box, but it's not about you call.

684
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.039
Yeah, I didn't see the twitch. I didn't see the twitch.

685
00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:35.519
I just saw he can get off
the rubber. Yeah, they're saying that

686
00:46:35.679 --> 00:46:38.360
right before he lifted his foot to
get off the rubber, that kind of

687
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:43.880
twitched his right knee, you know, and so that that that gets that

688
00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:47.400
that's what happened. So okay,
okay, right, So Florida's just changed

689
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:52.159
pitchers. They're they're down three two
still with the bases loaded, one out

690
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:53.400
in the top. It's only the
top of the second, you know.

691
00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:57.679
And if I'm Florida, I'm not
too worried. They put up twenty twenty

692
00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:00.239
four and Alice, Yes, that
was a brutal I was watching some of

693
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:02.360
that. It was brutal. That's
those two innings were like, uh,

694
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:06.000
you know, Florida wishes they would
have saved those for the football team.

695
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.519
Wow, somebody argue, I think
I said twenty four three. One team

696
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:13.400
was playing football, one team was
playing basic. Right, But uh,

697
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:16.719
but that that that that's just a
crazy score. That stuff stuff happened.

698
00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:22.320
How about the other ninety angels put
up? They had they had they had

699
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:28.079
twenty four on up on Colorado,
Colorado, Like in the fourth inning a

700
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:31.679
fifteen run Inny that don't happen to
Tony went to one for seven. I

701
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:35.920
thought that they did that. They
did that to Colorado and then they lost

702
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:38.119
two of the three games. Yeah, welcome to the world of sports.

I get those you can eat,
suggest some some love. Trying to track

712
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:15.119
him down. Saw Sean Elliott on
Dan Patrick. We've been trying to get

713
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:21.039
Sean for a long time and he
liked this. He does, he does,

714
00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:22.320
but he let me tell you something, he's been curtical. He's hard

715
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.400
to find. I've texted him a
lot. We had the press conference with

716
00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:29.280
him about about a month ago when
he got his degree. But let me

717
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:31.400
tell you funny thing about the book. So I had twenty five interviews right

718
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:35.679
try to fight chapters. He was
the last one because he was the toughest

719
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:37.639
one. After a year of trying
to reach these guys, he was the

720
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:43.039
last one and very different. He's
a really good guy, you know,

721
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:45.719
but he's been visible with the with
the draft because of what's going on with

722
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:51.000
San Antonio. He had well.
I listened to his interview and he had

723
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:52.119
some interesting stuff to say. First
of all, my victor, Bobby.

724
00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:58.000
I'm just talking about how the guys
legit and from the standpoint of they had

725
00:48:58.039 --> 00:48:59.719
dinner with him. I don't know
if you saw that. You saw that

726
00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:04.239
picture on Facebook. He was there
with UH with um um monag Nobly and

727
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:08.480
UH Duncan and Duncan and David Robinson
Ellie and they said that he was talking

728
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:12.960
about the dinner and well, what
did you guys talk about? And he

729
00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:15.239
said he wanted to talk about what
it's like to be in the NBA,

730
00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:20.480
but from a stadpoint of travel and
getting rest. And he said, he

731
00:49:20.519 --> 00:49:22.840
said, guys, you know you're
asked him that question. Let's say,

732
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:24.239
well, where's the best place to
eat in New York and stuff like.

733
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:29.400
He said, no, he wanted
to know the ins and outs of making

734
00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:32.320
sure that you're ready to play every
day. He said, it was really

735
00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:36.760
impressed by that. Well, one
of the things that hits me because I've

736
00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:39.199
seen so many guys come and go
and they're nineteen years old, baby baby

737
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:44.400
included, who's like nineteen twenty at
the time. It's a it's an old

738
00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:46.559
it's an older man's gun, and
you have the kids who are leaving,

739
00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:50.400
and how do you how do you
deal it with it when you're nineteen years

740
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:53.519
old, eighteen years old and you
can't go into clubs or you're not supposed

741
00:49:53.519 --> 00:49:58.920
to and do these things that your

a local story about stuff like that.

Oh, they were pissed. They
were pissed because you know what happens.

754
00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:53.199
Yeah, and they didn't want to
talk about stuff like that. They

755
00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:57.800
sit down there behind Doug out right

756
00:50:57.840 --> 00:51:00.840
go And in that year, the
place that the players would go to after

757
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:04.599
games was the bumps here. Yeah, right, go to the bumps here,

758
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:07.639

sitting behind the dug out. Now

759
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:10.599
they're at the bumps here, and
they weren't sitting with the wives. No,

760
00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:14.920

story. It was, It was

761
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:15.840
not. It was not a fun
story, the right, I mean it

762
00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:19.480

it was it was coming of age. I remember that very much. All

769
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:46.000
right. The LSU was now up
five to two. Two second, how

770
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:53.360
potis people lug fast? Yeah?
Well it also I have to remember the

771
00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:58.280
LSU was number one for most of
the year before wake Forest took over.

772
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:02.079
Yeah, make so make that six
two oh man. And their picture is

773
00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:07.400
fantastic. Have you been have you
been following the thing? Uh the jello

774
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:12.360
shots? The bar? There's a
bar in in Omaha that does jello shots

775
00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:17.760
And every year they tracked the fans
of the eight teams how many jello shots

776
00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:22.880
that they do. And the last
thing I saw LSU fans had done like

777
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:28.039
twenty nine thousand jello shots and the
next highest team I believe with Florida,

778
00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:30.719
had like eight thousand. And they're
just sound about how yeah they come about

779
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:35.000
high LASU fans. They go to
the College World Series even when they're not

780
00:52:35.079 --> 00:52:37.800
in it. Yeah, well that's
kind of crazy. All right. That
