Yeah, man, I 149 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.600 think it's one of those situations where when you talk about being part of the 150 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.720 Spartan dogs or the Spartan family or Spartan alumni, just being a fan and 151 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.919 someone's the need and if you're able to help those who we need, why 152 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.000 not help wherever you can and how you can. You know, so hopefully 153 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.159 it'll be a great turnout, you know, but whatever you can give would 154 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.919 be a blessing because you know, it's something they didn't have and it's something 155 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.240 that helped the situation. You know what I'm saying. You gotta also think 156 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:35.480 about that that young man man with them sillibins and the things that he got 157 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.519 to do and prepare for a season.

Man, you 160 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.320 know, so I'm praying for the kid in the situation. But those that 161 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.399 can help out, those that can support, you know, do it. 162 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.039 You know, it's not gonna kill You're not gonna hurt you. If anything, 163 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.720 you'll receive some more blessings from it. You know, without question. 164 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:05.120 You know the oldest of six from the family that that's gonna have to deal 165 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.559 with this as they go forward.

Hey, justin talk about your 200 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:55.159 journey to First of all, you're playing at Dakota in McCall, Michigan, 201 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.840 right, So what got you involved in the game of football in the beginning. 202 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.599 It's kind of funny because I always thought during the start, I thought 203 00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.480 I was always just uh. I always thought I was a basketball player to 204 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.920 start with. Obviously I didn't. I wasn't head, I didn't have the 205 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:18.039 size to like play offensive line, but I still played it because that's when 206 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:19.359 my dad played. So he always helped me, helped me out with that 207 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.960 stuff. So at like to middle school, off the high school, I 208 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:29.119 was always playing offensive line. And then it was just it was just a 209 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:33.200 matter of like we had one combine at our school where college coaches were coming 210 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.039 to watch, and I had a good workout and a bunch of coaches came 211 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.680 up to me and started talking to me, and I was like, I 212 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.119 think I could do something with this. And then the past year and a 213 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.680 half, I just devoted with like my work and like everything I do is 214 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:52.559 just getting better at football. And that's why I'm here today. Man, 215 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.119 that's one heck of a story. You know, you talk about a guy 216 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.920 who played basketball in the beginning and that was your first looking that's so your 217 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.279 body type had to change. I read somewhere where Man, I mean you 218 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.039 went from is that? How How light were you about eighteen months ago? 219 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.720 I say, like at the start of twenty twenty three, I was like 220 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:22.880 two ten? Damn what too ten? And what are you weighing today? 221 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.160 I weighed like two days ago, I was like three hundred. It was 222 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:33.200 like three or one. They be tell me, tell me and be honest, 223 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:40.160 tell me you eat collar green with neck bones in it? Come on, 224 00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:45.400 dog. You tell me you eat no, you know you don't. 225 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:51.799 You don't eat call of green, you know, right, you gotta get 226 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.359 callar greens with neck bones in it. See, when you get the campus, 227 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.519 I'm gonna have Mama Hall cook you some collar green with neck bones in 228 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:03.279 it. And at three hundred three thirty five with seven the better, you're 229 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:08.000 gonna look mean and mean and being like a machine. What are you eating 230 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.400 to get from? You put on ninety one pounds? Man? How'd you 231 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.640 do that? It was just a matter of like my dad helped me out 232 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.319 with my diet. It was just a lot of chicken, a lot of 233 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:25.200 chicken and rice, just like balancing out my protein for my carbs. I 234 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.359 was really just trying to like track and like not eat bad weight and make 235 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.400 it, make it become fat and almostly become muscle. So it was mostly 236 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:38.200 just eating the right stuff and just adding everything I can and eating as much 237 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.920 as I can of good stuff. Man, So you could still move with 238 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.839 it coming off of that basketball cardio. I mean, how you're adjusting with 239 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.599 being three hundred pounds moving around? I'll see, I'd say, it's uh, 240 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:57.400 it's it's like it's my dad's always told me, like, everything you're 241 00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:02.480 doing in basketball is gonna help you. So he's like, if you keep 242 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.920 working on basketball, it's gonna just it's gonna translate to football. So I 243 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:11.039 mean, it's always just it's always helped me out tremendously and that's why I'm 244 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.319 pretty good at the sport. So, Man, as we see here you 245 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.920 just throwing these kids around. I mean, is this little little league what 246 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:26.079 you play? Man? Amongst boys out here? Yep? You like the 247 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.440 right side of the line right now. It's just that's just where my coach 248 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:36.599 put me because they were the senior that was playing left tackle before me. 249 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:38.359 He was playing He played left tackle as a junior, so he just stayed 250 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.960 there. But I can play both. I've been training to play both. 251 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:48.359 So wherever I play in college, I'll be fine. You keep talking about 252 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.720 your dad now, So did your dad play? Yeah, he played at 253 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:56.119 Cincinnati and then he played arena football for like a couple of years, and 254 00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.480 then he got brought up to the Packers for a year.

He just didn't know 267 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.599 it. You know, we've been we've been brainwashing him since he was a 268 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.880 toddler, and you know, uh, getting him up to Michigan State games, 269 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.559 whether it be football or basketball, and getting him on campus and you 270 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.119 know, dressing him in green and white since he was a baby.

Oh man, that's a beautiful thing. I mean nothing like that. 278 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.359 I just talk about what it was like because I know you you were 279 00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:51.559 on your way to Kansas for a visit and you got to call. What 280 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.200 was that call like when they called him say, you know, come on 281 00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.799 up to the East Landson. It wasn't really call I was. I went 282 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:02.160 down for like, uh like count amplized workout. So I worked out with 283 00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:07.119 coach em and then we were just talking for like two three hours and then 284 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.559 he offered me and then it was just and then I could just tell it 285 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.359 was different over there. So I had to make some some quick changes and 286 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:21.799 had to come to these lands in that weekend. What was it like when 287 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.319 you heard it's Dave, Dave? I know that had to be special. 288 00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.079 Yeah, it was real special. And I knew that he was going up 289 00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:32.400 for the workout, and you know, he had tried to make it work, 290 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:34.599 you know, one other time before that, and I knew that once 291 00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.000 they were able to see him in person and work working with him hands on 292 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:41.799 that you know, he'd be able to show off what he can do. 293 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:44.960 And and you know, I was really hoping for the for the offer for 294 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:47.920 him. I was hoping that they could see what what I've seen in him 295 00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:52.960 for you know, the past ten years of really getting him in shape and 296 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.759 getting him going with with football. So yeah, beyond words, I'm you 297 00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:02.599 know, I I was kind of speechless when when he called me and told 298 00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:06.240 me that they had offered him. And I was just hoping that, you 299 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.400 know, they could show him, show him enough things that to help him 300 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.240 sway his mind into committee to Michigan State. And I think that you know, 301 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.319 from what I hear of his visit and everything that uh this coaching staff 302 00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.480 did to recruit him and and convince them not only him but his family that 303 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.079 you know, that was the right place for him. And when he came 304 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.680 back, he told me just it felt like home. And you know, 305 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.119 I feel blessed that he's able to go there, and uh, super happy 306 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.759 for him to have the opportunity to go and and prove himself.

He's you know, he's 332 00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:34.279 been playing football his whole life, and you know he's he might have been, 333 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:37.720 you know, only two ten, but you know, Justin's been been 334 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.920 training for this his whole life. And and really his body type is is 335 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:47.079 finally catching up because he hit a growth spurt here a couple of years back 336 00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:51.599 and grew about four or five inches and now finally his body is catching up 337 00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:55.920 to where how it was before. He's always been this kind of bigger kid 338 00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:59.440 that uh has been strong, and then he kind of thinned out, and 339 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:00.720 you know, they thought he was going to stay that way, but now 340 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.400 his body's finally catching up to where where it was and where it should be. 341 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:08.680 So he's got great genetics. His dad is six eight and three twenty 342 00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:12.839 eight, you know what I mean. He's uh, he's he's he's got 343 00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:17.799 uh got a lot of big folks in his family. And you know he 344 00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.920 can carry this weight and move around with it. So yeah, he's he's 345 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:25.759 been uh, he's been really improving, I would say over this past year 346 00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:30.160 and getting used to the the uh the added weight and his body felling back 347 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.720 out. So just excited to see how he carries himself this year and this 348 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.240 season, no doubt about it. I'm gonna I see the great Tony Manders 349 00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:45.880 checking in saying less and got before your time, justin, But that's a 350 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:53.000 dog, right. There was a beat there, you know what. Tony 351 00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:56.359 kind of remind me when he was playing ourselves some clips. What's the dude 352 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.640 that was in and with the Dolphins and with the saying that the ammt in 353 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:04.599 Buffalo Bill? What's his name? Oh? Dolphins? In the Saints. 354 00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:15.359 You you're talking about Kyle Turley. Yes, Kyle, he's better than some 355 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.960 bad bullet boy. Hey, there's a question for you, uh here justin 356 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:26.720 from Mike willis, what's your favorite Adam Sandler movie? That's my Uh, 357 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.680 that's my other uncle. He's watching that. He knows, he knows, 358 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:36.160 he knows the answer too. So what do you want happy more? That's 359 00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:45.400 the one with the golf club, I mean with the hog stick. Yeah, 360 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:49.759 oh yes, indeed that's mine. To day. I knew we got 361 00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:52.759 a lot in coming because I saw the way you were pancaking those guys. 362 00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.400 I used to make those guys missed. You didn't have to do that with 363 00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:07.599 me. But brother man, justin so, what when are you so you 364 00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:10.680 have a season high school season? Still deal with right now? Correct? 365 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.359 So howse things going there? When do you guys get back and report the 366 00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.680 camp and all that? Right now, we have speed camps. We have 367 00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:22.799 speak camp Monday and Wednesday. So that's like that's an hour of weightlifting, 368 00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.680 an hour of speeding agility, and then an hour of just football. So 369 00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.119 we do that, uh, next week. The next week's the last week 370 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.599 of that, and then we start our hell week, which is conditioning, 371 00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:41.200 and then we start fall camp after that. What kind of conditioning, man, 372 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.279 what's the hardest conditioning thing that you guys do? We actually do a 373 00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:52.000 Michigan State test. It's we run gassers. So it's uh. So we 374 00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:55.839 have like certain times and like the times are from Michigan State, so like 375 00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:59.920 for alignement, I think we I'm pretty sure it's like eighteen seconds we have 376 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:07.079 do a gas or in the uh whatever he feels like. Sometimes it's sometimes 377 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.960 it's ten, sometimes it's twenty. It really depends on old No, hold 378 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.000 on, hold on. Eighteen second. That's a half gas. That's not 379 00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.640 a whole gas, right, that's allow No, no whole gas. No 380 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.839 eighteen seconds. Come on, you ain't talking to somebody. Ain't never done 381 00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:30.279 no gases. Brother, that's a half gas. They don't even do all 382 00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:34.799 right, sideline sideline, the sideline back, that's what we do. So 383 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.599 we start on one sideline, go to the other, and then come back. 384 00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:41.440 Right. That's a half gas, that's half yeah. Yeah, how 385 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.440 much you want him to run? Sad? Do you want him to run? 386 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.400 You want him to run full gassers? Yeah? Tell you. Now, 387 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:55.240 here's a news flash. They don't even do running tests anymore in college. 388 00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:02.720 They don't know. I'll tell your coach that he told I mean, 389 00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:07.920 it's true, it's true. You believe that. Remember that he said kill 390 00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:14.640 us out there one time? One times and forties and all that. No, 391 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:17.240 No, you know what the worst Rember we used to have to go 392 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:19.480 to the President and run the hill. Yeah, run the hill, Yeah, 393 00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:23.759 that long hill. To me, the worst one was at the at 394 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.240 the stadium when we ran the steep hills at the stadium. But from what 395 00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.039 I hear, they have one of those hills at the in the weight room 396 00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:34.759 now right, Yeah, they can do it right in the weight room every 397 00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:40.160 day if they want to. Said, yes, that's crazy, man, 398 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.079 Hey not not not to have flashbacks anything like that. But do you all 399 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:55.519 remember our lockers? Come on, man, hey what about those? We 400 00:31:55.640 --> 00:32:02.359 got the new, the new ones out the cages and the little regular had 401 00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:07.319 remember that little regular. I'm gonna tell you quick story, JV. I 402 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.799 was a freshman and someone told me that we had to pack our stool. 403 00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:16.440 So I'm trying to put my he was going to Nebraska. Somebody said, 404 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:20.279 ye man, you gotta you gotta pack your stool. And I come pick 405 00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:22.920 my stool in the bag. And when I went to go ask snickerbocker, 406 00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:27.920 Schniak say, nah, they got your rookie. No, you can't take 407 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:34.119 the damn stool you were trying to take it. Take it to the road 408 00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:37.160 game. Man, Come on, man, I know a lot of those 409 00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:43.039 disappeared when they did the remodel. Finally, the probably secure as basement right 410 00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:46.319 now. Oh yeah I got one. I got mine. Yeah yeah, 411 00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:52.599 one of those every day justin you get they're gonna have it all.

It was two projects and you know what I mean, 417 00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:15.599 things like that. Now it's all suburb living. Chris Bell, Yeah, 418 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:19.240 I hated the Mount Test. That was the most. That was the 419 00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:23.720 terrible ship ever, Like why why are we running a mile? That was 420 00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:37.039 stupid? Yeah right yeah, A bunch of cu club football it is. 421 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:42.599 Oh man, what's this? I said a million times? Would have hated 422 00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:47.400 it, but I would have had Ken Manny what oh okay, we would 423 00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:52.200 have probably hated it, but if Ken Manny would But if would have had 424 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:55.039 Ken Manny when we were there, we would have won more than just two 425 00:33:55.039 --> 00:34:00.720 Big ten titles. I'm just saying, I don't know. I don't care. 426 00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:04.279 I think Kerry's saying if manny, I don't know, they would have 427 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:06.240 won more. I don't know what. I don't know what he's saying. 428 00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:09.039 I couldn't follow that. How many two twenty five reps can you do? 429 00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:15.599 Justin last time I did it, it was nine. Okay, that was 430 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.920 a while ago. So it might be you got long arms, man, 431 00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:22.679 I mean how long? What is your wingspan? Dude? Eighty four inches? 432 00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:34.320 Yeah, that's that's uh, that's seven feet man. So so you 433 00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.679 got a dad that played, You got uncles around you that's played, So 434 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:42.159 you've got a lot of knowledge and experience. Man. You know, i'd 435 00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:45.400 say to definitely lean on that. I know you're doing that, and sometimes 436 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.159 it gets tough to hear uncles and dads. You know, you want to 437 00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.280 tune them out. You need to lean on them. What is your goals 438 00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:55.760 for this season in high school? At the cover? Well, first of 439 00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.519 all, in the championship, we have a one of our high school hasn't 440 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:04.440 won in a while, and I think we can definitely change that this year. 441 00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:08.119 This could be like our best chance. So that's that's first thing for 442 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:13.960 me, and then there's like individual I just want to like have like no 443 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:17.840 like four sacks because I had won last year. I want to change that 444 00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:22.199 to zero and no QB pressures on my part. And I also want to 445 00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:28.639 make all states so this total domination. Man, you know, you know 446 00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:31.039 you know how you start to do that to hit all your goals? How 447 00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:38.280 one player at a time?

Fellas? 514 00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:20.719 How are you guys? Man? You got the mood light going? Man, 515 00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:22.599 what's up? You're in the dark. I mean it's kind of dark, 516 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:27.639 like there's no overhead light here in the hotel. It's you're like normally 517 00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:30.199 in the hotel room, there's usually that overhead light. There's none of that 518 00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:31.880 here. I got like a lamp right here. So the lighting situation is 519 00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:36.679 all messed up. But but I'm here. What you're doing in the hotel? 520 00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:39.599 Man? Down in Indianapolis for Big ten media Days, you've seen the 521 00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:44.320 duck in the river. I saw pictures of it on social media. I 522 00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:46.559 have not investigated it yet. We'll see if I have time to do so 523 00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:51.960 tomorrow, but I do want to see it. That looks hilarious. Hey 524 00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:53.360 be more. If I was there, I get to be be good and 525 00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:58.360 I shoot that, man, I promise I'll bust a hold in that duck. 526 00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:05.320 You shoot it? Yeah? Why not holding that dug? Man? 527 00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:09.159 So what do you think next last year? Should we uh, maybe we 528 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:14.280 should pitch to a NSU that maybe we have like an inflatable sparty on the 529 00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:17.800 river next year. Maybe what do you say we should? Everybody should do 530 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:22.400 it. Just flood the whole river with mascot. I mean all eighteen teams. 531 00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:29.280 I think that'd be fun. Both we just painted the river green like 532 00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:36.039 in Chicago. M hm, hey, look be more. Let's talk about 533 00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:38.840 the new article that just came out. Man about that. Let me say 534 00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:45.480 this correctly. The top thirty incoming incoming athletes that we're most excited about it 535 00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:50.239 MSU incoming. I know people aren't going to hear that, but the top 536 00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:53.960 thirty incoming athletes. Yeah, so uh, spartans illustrated. We put out 537 00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:57.840 an article this morning. It was there was about like a half dozen of 538 00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:00.079 us that helped on this that kind of came up with the list of thirty 539 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:05.400 athletes and that wrote some of some of the some of the blurbs about each 540 00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:07.840 athlete. We have players from from football to men's basketball, all the way 541 00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:13.400 to like men's tennis, women's soccer, gymnastics, volleyball, there's all sorts 542 00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:17.440 of sports on there. So yeah, it's the thirty athletes we are most 543 00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:22.920 exciting about, excited about coming into this season. I mean, like you 544 00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:28.400 see, men's tennis should have another good team. They have two guys here 545 00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:30.760 on this list. Obviously, football we have about a half dozen I believe 546 00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:37.239 football, track and field. Meg He is the big one for women's soccer, 547 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:39.519 as you see there on the screen. She's a transfer from Providence, 548 00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:44.679 so big goal scoring threat for women's soccer. Was a big addition for them. 549 00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:49.960 So there's a bunch of athletes that everyone really needs to know heading into 550 00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:54.039 the Michigan State sports season. So so talk about this. I'm looking at 551 00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:58.239 the list as you're going, and you're scrolling through it right now, you 552 00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:04.840 know where he's the first football player I think I saw twenty seventh, twenty 553 00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:10.639 nine, we had Nikai Martinez CF transfer YEP, talk about him a little 554 00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:15.719 bit, Yeah, absolutely, So he's transferred from Central Florida. He's a 555 00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:19.639 defensive back, so he was a spring portal addition, so kind of maybe 556 00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:22.400 went under the radar a little bit because I know Michigan State made a bunch 557 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.840 of spring transfer portal additions in that secondary with Ed Woods, Jeremiah Hughes, 558 00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:30.000 and Nicki Martinez is probably one of the more notable ones of the bunch there. 559 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:34.079 I mean, he had put up decent numbers last season with UCF, 560 00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:38.039 was a starter for them. He's probably gonna play safety for Michigan State, 561 00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:42.559 but he's versatile as well, can play free safety, can play a little 562 00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:45.199 bit at slot corner as well. So he's a versatile guy. But expect 563 00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:50.159 him to see to see him mostly at safety. I would imagine this year 564 00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:53.880 safety that's a position to need. You know, I have to losing Jade 565 00:43:53.960 --> 00:43:59.920 Mngum obviously to the portal here anyway, and then you have guys like Dyaling 566 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:05.280 Tatum and Malik Spencer that'll hold things now and there right now as well, 567 00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:10.440 So that'll be key to see how he does. Again, this is the 568 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:15.880 incoming, the best incoming. So we have Tanner Miller looks like for football 569 00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:19.280 as well at number twenty seven. Yeah. Yeah, So when you talk 570 00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:22.119 about incoming, this is kind of a combination of some are we have some 571 00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:24.840 incoming freshmen on here and also some transfers kind of a mix of both, 572 00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:29.159 So that's what we mean by incoming Tanner. Miller is a big addition for 573 00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:32.000 the offensive line, the offensive line for Michigan State. Kind of the position 574 00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:36.480 group. Me personally, I have probably the most questions about just a little 575 00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:40.400 bit of death concerns just from my perspective, how I see as a little 576 00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:45.159 bit of death concerns there. But Miller has positional versatility. Again, he 577 00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:47.440 can play a little bit of guard, will probably play center for Michigan State, 578 00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:52.000 I would imagine, But All Pac twelve guy was really really good at 579 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:58.760 Oregon State. So he was probably the biggest addition at offensive line this offseason. 580 00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:04.239 So you know, he was raised on the College Football twenty twenty five. 581 00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:08.119 Of him and Velly, we're the top athletic numbers. I think they 582 00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:12.480 both had eighty sevens from Michigan State. So we're expecting a lot out of 583 00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:15.039 him. Speaking of offensive line, b Moore, we've got Luke Newman. 584 00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:21.519 Now you forgot about him here coming from Holy Cross. Yeah, absolutely, 585 00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:23.280 we have Newman at twenty five, So right up there with Miller on the 586 00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:28.320 offensive line. He's a spring or. He committed to Michigan State in the 587 00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:31.840 winter, but didn't enroll until after spring practices, so we really haven't seen 588 00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:35.400 much of him in the Michigan State uniform yet. We'll get our first taste 589 00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:38.719 kind of at at fall camp here in a little bit. But Newman mainly 590 00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:44.039 played at left tackle for Holy Cross, but I would imagine it's gonna shift 591 00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:46.559 in the guard now at Michigan State. But again, positional versatility, it's 592 00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:51.360 going to be important, especially at offensive line, which has some question marks. 593 00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:54.199 So I'm excited to see Newman. It's coming back to his excuse me, 594 00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:58.199 to his home state, so that's exciting for him. Yeah, Newman, 595 00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:02.280 Big time edition as well. Man, We're gonna throw a curveball at 596 00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:06.800 you beat more to see how you doing. Jay C. Shuler softball, 597 00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:14.280 Yeah, softball player, excuse me, Yeah, she pitcher twenty three and 598 00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:17.239 four. Obviously that's outstanding record for a pitcher, a really good the IRA 599 00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:20.880 and also can swing the bat five twenty three average. I mean, that's 600 00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.119 pretty dang good. If you're getting hits more than you're getting out's that you're 601 00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:25.800 doing something right. Loving home run. So she has some power as well. 602 00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:29.519 So I think she was the only softball player to make the list, 603 00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:32.400 but so she's definitely one to watch out for right coming out of Illinois. 604 00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:37.559 First player in Illinoid to be named first team All State in all four years 605 00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:42.599 in the sports. So Illinois has got some good athletes where you know, 606 00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:46.599 we gotta we gotta gotta tip your hat to her. They gotta they got 607 00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:50.880 a few. But b more, do you have anybody on the hockey team, 608 00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:53.159 because we was knocking on the door, we got anybody coming in on 609 00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:57.920 the hockey team that could take us over the hump because I want my hockey 610 00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:00.800 jersey and I want to wear when we win a championship. Absolutely, we 611 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:05.000 have two hockey guys on this list. The first one is at number twelve. 612 00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:09.519 Michael DiAngelo decommitted from Arizona State. Yes, Arizona State has a hockey 613 00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:13.480 program, which is pretty hard to believe, but they do. So he 614 00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:17.880 decommitted from there, committed to Michigan State. I believe he's a defenseman. 615 00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:22.119 If no, he excuse me, he's a forward. He played for the 616 00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:27.199 USA National team development program, which is one of those top youth programs in 617 00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:30.880 the country. They're training center is actually located in Plymouth, Michigan, So 618 00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:34.400 that's kind of perfect. They're not too big of a transition for him from 619 00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.000 going from Plymouth, Michigan to the East Lansing, so kind of knows the 620 00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:39.400 area well. I do think he's going to be in the lineup this year, 621 00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:43.639 probably not in the top line, but you'll probably see him, you 622 00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:46.119 know, second third, maybe fourth line, fourth line forward there. So 623 00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:50.880 I'm excited about him. Then another hockey guy, Let's see if I can 624 00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:52.360 find him. I believe he is number six, Yes, number six, 625 00:47:52.400 --> 00:48:00.079 So this was the guy, Vladislav Lukashevich. I had a practice at the 626 00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:06.119 three times. Once I saw he committed, lukash I already mess it up. 627 00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:13.280 We'll call him Vladislav but Russian Russia. Uh played in the USHL last 628 00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:17.719 season and he's a defenseman. But uh, he was very productive offensively as 629 00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:22.639 well. He had forty three points and fifty four games played as you see 630 00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:27.079 there, So yeah, very productive on the offensive end despite being a defenseman. 631 00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:30.679 He's kind of a replacement for for our team. Leftshanov, who got 632 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:35.840 drafted number two overall about the Chicago Blackhawks signed his entry level contracts, So 633 00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:39.159 Levschanov's gone. Lukashaevi's kind of a replacement. Don't expect him to be, 634 00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:42.920 uh, you know, the top defenseman on the team right away. He's 635 00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:45.079 gonna need a little bit more developing, I would imagine, but you're definitely 636 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:52.079 gonna see him play a lot this season. So he's not the guy that 637 00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:53.320 that that get into fights. I need. We need to get one of 638 00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:57.920 those tough guys like me that get in those fights. That's all my job 639 00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:00.719 is to do, is to fight soon as soon they blow with the goons. 640 00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:07.280 Give me a little bit about ed Woods. Yeah, Edwards, I 641 00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:09.880 think we have him at where did he go fifteen? Okay, yeah, 642 00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:12.719 he's all the way up there. Yeah. He was another one of those 643 00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:21.400 the spring transfer portal additions in the secondary, Edwards was so he put up 644 00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:23.119 some really good stats. I mean, five tackles for lost, three forced 645 00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:29.239 fumbles, one sack, one interception, ten pass breakups, so decent numbers 646 00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:34.239 at Arizona State. Coming to Michigan State, he was sawt after by a 647 00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:37.239 lot of a lot of power forward programs. So Michigan City, I thought 648 00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:39.280 this was a really good land when they got him. And he had a 649 00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:45.000 relationship with Demetro Spartan before the Michigan State corners back cornerbacks coach, So I 650 00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:49.599 would expect Woods to probably play a lot outside cornerback this season. Yeah, 651 00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:52.599 I think he's probably gonna start and we'll see how he looks. But Edwards 652 00:49:52.679 --> 00:49:57.760 is probably probably the best portal edition in my opinion. In the secondary. 653 00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:00.760 Wow, that's the a lot. I mean, Demitrius mart what can you 654 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:05.559 say about his ability to go out and find super high of talent the guys 655 00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:08.159 and get him He's lancing. Yeah, I mean we talked about it already. 656 00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:14.880 Men with ed Woods uh and Jeremiah Hughes uh getting Nikai Martinez. Obviously, 657 00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.400 those were all spring portal editions. So Mark Martin really hit the portal 658 00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:22.199 hard this past spring to get guys to to kind of add some depth and 659 00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:27.599 even add some starting, some starting quality players as well. So Martin, 660 00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.440 I think he's done an excellent job so far at getting talent on campus to 661 00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:34.239 try and improve the secondary, which has been kind of a weak point for 662 00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:39.679 Michigan State in the past few years. Man still sticking with the defensive side 663 00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:43.719 of the ball. Number ten Jordan Turner. This is Swerve's best guy because 664 00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:45.440 he's got the body the Swerve wanted to have. When he was a player 665 00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:51.360 here. Yeah, I mean, what looked like Toz? He looked like 666 00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:55.079 Toz. I just you know, coming from I just didn't looked like Toz. 667 00:50:55.639 --> 00:51:06.239 What did you think about that? Tony looked like Tarzan Man. So 668 00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:08.199 go ahead, be more, go ahead. Looks like a bodybuilder too. 669 00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:10.760 I mean, the guy is just ripped. I mean, I mean, 670 00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:16.199 recorded a lot of good numbers at Wisconsin, played thirty thirty career games there, 671 00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:22.480 over one hundred and thirty tackles. We might need a bicep contest between 672 00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:27.119 said and Jordan Turner. Come on, be more, let's straight note, 673 00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:32.480 come on a contest. And he was ready for you. He had him 674 00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:36.599 on the show not long ago. So yeah, he's a you know, 675 00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:39.199 a downhill player. I mean, he looks definitely looks the part coming out 676 00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:43.639 of Wisconsin. He's back home. He's the Farmington guys you said, so, 677 00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:46.000 you know, excited to see what he looks like in the green and 678 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:51.239 white during the actual season when it comes up in just thirty eight days. 679 00:51:51.719 --> 00:51:53.840 Be more. But you know, on the basketball side, you know, 680 00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:59.480 let's let's talk a little basketball. You know, give us women's basketball and 681 00:51:59.519 --> 00:52:02.920 a man's back. That's highlighted in this list. Yeah, we'll start with 682 00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:08.880 women's number five on the list. Grace Van Sluton, women's basketball number five 683 00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:12.880 on the list. Here, she's a transfer from Oregon, but she was 684 00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:15.159 probably one of the biggest transfer port editions in the Big Ten this season. 685 00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:21.480 I mean really, former McDonald's All American in high school. I mean she's 686 00:52:21.639 --> 00:52:24.199 six foot three, so she's got the size. Average fifteen points, over 687 00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:30.199 seven rebounds per game, started for every single game for Oregon, earned All 688 00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:34.159 Pack twelve honors, So she really comes in with a lot of accolades. 689 00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:37.840 Excited to see because Michigan said did lose some key players like d. D. 690 00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:40.440 Hageman and a couple others, so they have a little bit to replace 691 00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:45.440 for that women's basketball team. But Van Sluton should slot right and be among 692 00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:51.039 probably one of the top players on the team. Wow, that's big time, 693 00:52:51.079 --> 00:52:54.199 all right. So what about on the men's basketball side, Yeah, 694 00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:58.320 there's a reason why we have Frankie Fiddler so high up. He's at number 695 00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:04.599 two right now. Yeah, she's in Nebraska Omaha transfer. So performed really 696 00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:07.119 really well at kind of a mid major level. Averaged over twenty points per 697 00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:13.480 game, grib about six point point three rebounds per game as well. He's 698 00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:15.800 very heavily recruited out of the transfer portal, and in a time where time 699 00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:20.360 Is will really need to dip into that portal and kind of add to his 700 00:53:20.559 --> 00:53:22.559 roster because he was losing a couple of key guys, including Tyson Walker. 701 00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:28.920 I mean, Fiddler's gonna be huge, and shooting's excellent. He's doing good 702 00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:30.920 in the moneyball. He's averaging a lot I think, like thirty nine points, 703 00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:35.320 So I mean take that for what it's worth. Yeah, that's what 704 00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:37.719 I want to ask. That's all I was reading. He averaged thirty nine 705 00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:50.440 point two points in moneybawl. So he never passed the ball. That'd be 706 00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:52.880 a good moment. I got a question. So, so yeah, I'm 707 00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:57.360 hearing good new points out of what it's looking like on the basketball side. 708 00:53:57.400 --> 00:54:00.000 Those swear you know, outside of moneyball, they're looking good. You know, 709 00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:05.199 obviously number one on this list you got. Well, let's not forget 710 00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:08.880 number three. Four. Let's go four, three and one. That's all 711 00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:15.440 football now. So Jack Velling, Okay, let's talk about him. Yeah, 712 00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:19.760 Jack Velling is I mean tight end obviously coming in from Oregon State final. 713 00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:22.800 Jonathan Smith to East Lansing was one of three guys to do that, 714 00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:24.800 alongside Tanner Miller and Aid Chiles, who will get to him a bit. 715 00:54:24.840 --> 00:54:29.719 But Velling's probably one of the better tight ends in this conference now, uh 716 00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:34.320 six foot five, two forty six excellent pass catcher, I mean excellent blocker 717 00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:37.800 as well, so you can kind of multifaceted there. And he really thrives 718 00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:40.920 in the system that uses multiple tight ends. That's like Lingering likes to run, 719 00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:45.199 so Velling and he knows the system well because he spent time in Oregon 720 00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:50.440 State obviously learning under Linger and learning under Jonathan Smith. So I like Velling, 721 00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:52.400 I like his game. I think he's going to be, uh, 722 00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:54.559 probably one of the more targeted guys on this Michigan State offense. I think 723 00:54:54.599 --> 00:54:58.079 he's going to be one of the better players on this Michigan State offense. 724 00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:00.480 So I'm excited to see what he does this year. Now, in the 725 00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:07.079 Big Ten, most tight ends by any tight end in college football last year 726 00:55:07.079 --> 00:55:09.800 at eight tied for number one, So yeah, really excited to see him 727 00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:15.239 hook up with his quarterback from the court Vallis. But before we get to 728 00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:20.880 him, we got another pass in Nick Marsh. Yeah, it was tough 729 00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:24.360 to place kind of Marsh in here because a lot of these top guys are 730 00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:29.159 guys and girls are transfers that we have in here. But Nick Marsh incoming 731 00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:32.800 freshmen, really stood out in that spring game and throughout the spring practices as 732 00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:37.239 well. I mean, people just glowing reviews about him, about his performances 733 00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:40.880 and practices. Six foot three, too away already has the body to play 734 00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:45.280 at the college level, to play at the Big ten level, So he's 735 00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:49.000 got that down pat, He's got the size to do it. He's just 736 00:55:49.079 --> 00:55:51.400 a great athlete as well. I mean we saw in the spring game making 737 00:55:51.440 --> 00:55:54.960 that long touchdown catch. So I'm excited to see Marsh this year. He's 738 00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:58.440 definitely gonna play, Like there's no doubt in my mind that he's going to 739 00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:01.360 play, whether that be arter or whether that be you know, getting second 740 00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:06.239 team reps and you'll get a target here and there. But but Marsh, 741 00:56:06.280 --> 00:56:08.800 I'm excited. This is I'm excited for his career at Michigan State. He 742 00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:12.559 might not be you know, in the spilight as much this year, but 743 00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:16.360 his career at Michigan State he's got a super bright future. You know, 744 00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:21.199 you know, why I respect that that kid because I think he has like 745 00:56:21.400 --> 00:56:25.440 three sisters, right, four poor sisters, and you got to count the 746 00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:30.400 mom. That's that being in the house with five women, be more five 747 00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:39.360 women. I know he was so happy to go to college. He's always 748 00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:42.559 back. But now I got a lot of respect for that kid. Man, 749 00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:45.480 his mom did a hell of a job because by she raised five whoa, 750 00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:47.679 yeah, she sure did. Man, speaking of them, he may 751 00:56:47.800 --> 00:56:52.599 will be at the Lavonna ihop to help me. Mario Smith and his family, 752 00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:57.280 River Rouge products gonna all be there. So this is a guy that's 753 00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:00.639 going to be in the house and like last one, not least here on 754 00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:02.880 this list. Number one eight in Childs. Yeah, I feel like this 755 00:57:04.079 --> 00:57:06.960 was a pretty obvious number one. I feel like most people would have put 756 00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:10.159 Childs at number one just because he's playing the most important position maybe in all 757 00:57:10.199 --> 00:57:15.199 of sports, I mean quarterback position. He's sophomore, so still has a 758 00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:16.760 whole future ahead of him. A couple of years in college, I would 759 00:57:16.800 --> 00:57:22.719 imagine left, and he's got a ton of potential. Excellent throwing the football, 760 00:57:22.719 --> 00:57:24.599 actually a true dual threat guy can use his legs a lot. So 761 00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:30.960 in Michigan State really hasn't had a guy that's that that can use his legs 762 00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:32.440 just as good as he can use his arms. So Childs is a true 763 00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:37.039 dual threat in that fashion. So I'm excited to see. And he was 764 00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:42.199 very accurate in his time at Oregon State, almost a sixty nine percent completion 765 00:57:42.360 --> 00:57:45.760 percentage. So yeah, both fastts, his arm, his legs. I 766 00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:49.239 think he's got a really bright future. Excited to see what he does this 767 00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:52.960 season. One one heck of a list. I'm just wondering. There's a 768 00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:57.800 couple, you know, baseball player, maybe got Parker Peacock, like what 769 00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:00.800 happened to him? He's not on there. Of that Rochester Adams transferred from 770 00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:07.360 Alabama baseball player, great quarterback in high school. I don't know, maybe 771 00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:09.320 he didn't make the list. And also Matt Forbes, I don't know if 772 00:58:09.360 --> 00:58:15.159 that guy, the tennis player, one of the best ones. He didn't 773 00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:19.519 know we have two tennis guys on here. But now he was not on 774 00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:23.199 the list. Yeah, well he he was just in. He was just 775 00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:30.360 in Wimbledon, man, he was, and you're playing Wimbledon. I don't 776 00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:38.039 know what's up. We'll give him others receiving vote pople More said, no, 777 00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:44.679 hey, po boy, the actually because you ain't in and apples and 778 00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:49.000 I know you're sneaking in there to getting all the good news. Uh. 779 00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:52.320 The ratings came out, the rankings came out in the Big ten, and 780 00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:55.920 I think they had the Michigan State out of eighteen how many teams in eighteen? 781 00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:00.639 Yeah, I think they had us that sixteen or seventeen. I'm only 782 00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:05.639 acting because I put the mortgage on the bed earlier, put a pull and 783 00:59:05.679 --> 00:59:12.480 a half games, and I need to know if Tim Bimo let me know, 784 00:59:12.679 --> 00:59:15.760 let me know. Yeah. Well, I don't put a ton of 785 00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:20.480 stock in preseason polls. That's just me personally, just because there's so many 786 00:59:20.599 --> 00:59:24.440 unknowns right with the transfer portal especially, there's so many newcomers to each team, 787 00:59:24.519 --> 00:59:28.119 not just Michigan State, to a team like Indiana, a team like 788 00:59:28.719 --> 00:59:30.119 you know, Minnesota. They have a ton of new pieces, So I 789 00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:34.480 mean Mishkin's. Like I was looking at the rankings yesterday, between like twelve 790 00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:37.480 and eighteen, I don't know how they put them in an order. It's 791 00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:40.079 very difficult to kind of distinguish between a lot of those teams, like your 792 00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:44.920 Michigan State's. You're Indiana's your produce. Your Minnesota is your Illinois. So 793 00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:47.840 so we'll see how it pans out. But I would not put too much 794 00:59:47.880 --> 00:59:52.360 stock into a preseason poll. And I mean, if this motivates them, 795 00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.599 it could be a motivational tool that they use that say, hey we're ranked 796 00:59:55.639 --> 01:00:00.519 sixteenth, We're not sixteenth, and they use as bulletin board here that that 797 01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:05.920 could be your hope. Now that uh, you put that back, so 798 01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:09.800 so be more right, right now, be more When the talker with Michigan 799 01:00:09.880 --> 01:00:14.679 state name is mentioned, you mean to tell me were in the second pool 800 01:00:14.719 --> 01:00:17.920 over there with the other ones at the Illinois now in the Northwestern you gotta 801 01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:22.440 put us with those guys. We don't get mentioned with the big dogs over 802 01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:28.199 there, the first nine. I want to swim in that. I want 803 01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:30.840 to swim in the kiddy pool. They gotta win some games this year. 804 01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:39.239 They gotta win some games this year. Thank you. You don't want to 805 01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:44.639 swim in the kiddo Yeah, don't send me to the kiddy pool ship. 806 01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:46.719 I want to stand in the big pool. I want to jump off the 807 01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:50.599 big diving board with the big board, the big board. What about the 808 01:00:50.840 --> 01:00:55.000 what about the river with the with the inflatable dot. We're gonna shoot that. 809 01:00:55.079 --> 01:00:58.840 We're gonna shoot that duck, and then next year we're gonna paint the 810 01:00:58.920 --> 01:01:01.719 river of Green. Hey, if I gotta go down there with myself and 811 01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:05.840 do it, damn it? Right? How did they get that here? 812 01:01:06.119 --> 01:01:12.039 Great matter? Put that in their luggage? Then somebody tried that. Hey, 813 01:01:12.119 --> 01:01:15.719 that's that Nike money, man, Yeah, that's that Nike money. 814 01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:20.519 Yeah. He probably came on his own jet, you know, oh, 815 01:01:20.679 --> 01:01:27.400 man, his own seven forty seven. That's right, Gray does matter, 816 01:01:27.800 --> 01:01:30.199 great matter, and so be more. Man. We appreciate you coming on 817 01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:34.159 and talking about this. Man, it's always you know, look, we 818 01:01:34.239 --> 01:01:37.280 gotta come down and do a full season breakdown to the minute.
