Hey, welcome back toning 3 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.879 the ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, he's Jay. 4 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.480 Now we have at Lisa with breaking news. This is I on the Ball 5 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:28.039 Breaking news on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. All right, so let's start off 6 00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:33.560 with the most pressing news we have right away. kJ Lewis earlier today declared 7 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:39.920 he is said he's declaring for the NBA Draft. Yeah, sorta sort you 8 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.600 know the funny thing, I'm not hiring, not with the chance to come 9 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.200 right, with a chance to come back, just like Caleb love the funny 10 00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:49.119 thing about it. Okay, So in today's world, like the kid from 11 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.960 the Duke, the guy who signed, who's the number one guy? You 12 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.759 know this? No, no, no, the recruit. Okay, So 13 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.680 he's he's hired c A. A to represent him, he's got an agent. 14 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.359 He's going in gonna get paid millions or whatever. And how could you 15 00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:12.799 not hire an agent like kJ? It's all backwards now, It's like you 16 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.159 have an agent, now, how could you declare to come back? With 17 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.680 a hier agent for Cooper Cupp or Cooper whatever his name is. Well, 18 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.719 I don't know, it's I don't know what the answer, what the rule 19 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.200 is there? I mean, if you can, if you can have an 20 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.799 agent for Nil, if I can't, you have an agent for them. 21 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.560 Maybe he does exactly. But whatever whatever step that's taken that he can't knock 22 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.599 back to, he's not going to take. But you understand what I'm saying, 23 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.920 there's a lot of craziness in this fine line of walking the fly line. 24 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.319 Oh I can't do this, but you can do this and still get 25 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.359 money and get paid. Five years ago, you couldn't do anything. No, 26 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.560 you couldn't. Yeah, exactly nothing you can do any of that. 27 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.079 But whatever, Steve, this is all happening so fast. We don't know 28 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.640 if they've changed that rule. That's true. Okay, probably already got an 29 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:02.799 agent, So that's that's not what keeps you from coming back. But whatever 30 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.480 it is, you know, you take a next step that says I'm not 31 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:08.439 coming back. I don't know what it is. Do you guys think he'll 32 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:14.840 get picked up by a team. Here's what you brought up in that two 33 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:16.520 years ago. Two years ago, almost to the day, right, daylan 34 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:20.000 Terry declares, and what do you and I think? We said, well, 35 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:21.960 he'll be back, he'll be back. He's not ready. Yeah, 36 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:23.400 he's not ready. He's not you know. And then he went in there 37 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.719 and lit it up in the combine and stuff and the next thing, you 38 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.080 know, and not only did he stay in the draft, he was the 39 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.639 first round draft pick. Right so, and I'm thinking kJ Lewis is better 40 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.240 than Dayling Terry and we were talking about it in the break. He's probably 41 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.319 the most NBA ready guy. Yeah, and you wouldn't think that because he 42 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.280 doesn't start. He maybe he just didn't fit into the team in the steps 43 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.759 starting five as well, but he does have that he would be the one 44 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.919 to go. The funny thing about is in the final game against Clemson, 45 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:53.439 and he did it in a couple of other games. He was the reason 46 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.680 when he came back. He's the one that brought the team back before the 47 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:05.280 other guard, Dayden Bradley. Those two dudes kept him in the game. 48 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.319 KG brought him in and Bradley kept him alive. But there's no question in 49 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.319 my mind that kJ Lewis is the most well an NBA ready got yeah, 50 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:19.280 he's what we know. What we know is that it's something that's always said 51 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.000 to me by what by one of my friends. The NBA drafts on potential, 52 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.159 right, if they say, okay, this kid is ultimately going to 53 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.680 be in the NBA, then they'll say, then let's take him now, 54 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.080 right, and let's get him before somebody else better and get him ready. 55 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.319 And they believe they can get him ready more than another year in school. 56 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.400 It would not shock me. I thoct I'm going to change my fifty to 57 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.360 fifty to forty sixty that he stays because he's that good. I mean, 58 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.280 he is that good. Well, he's got the attribute certainly, the body 59 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:55.439 of the athletic ability and the things that you can't teach your right, you 60 00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.599 can't teach that size for the type of player he is. Both of you. 61 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.400 The question you're taking you're taking kJ lewis you're taking Caleb Love as an 62 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:10.800 NBA player today? Yeah, I'm taking no question right there? Yeah, 63 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.879 right there tells you. No, I don't say Caleb Love is ready at 64 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.079 all. You're right in my mind, right, he's gonna make a lot 65 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.160 of money, just not that at the NBA level. Yeah, yeah, 66 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.879 I don't think he's ready at all, Caleb Love. If you're not ready, 67 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.879 how consistent? If you're not ready, now, you're not ready. 68 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.519 Yeah, and it's almost like he's hit his peak. Yeah, look at 69 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.319 you taking notes. It's a great it's yeah, you're right. No. 70 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.959 I don't know how much better he can get. But kJ lewis I could 71 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:41.480 see him getting developed and it's all about being athletic, and he's exactly that. 72 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.480 Yeah, more consistent. Yeah, and only eighteen nineteen years old. 73 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.120 Yeah, how old. Yeah he's a sophomore. He'll be a sophomore. 74 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:57.000 Yeah, he was a fresh Yeah, the true freshman. Good for him, 75 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.720 all right, So moving on PACKED twelve Women's golf. So Gila Beata 76 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.519 Star Starcute is a golf player at the U of A. She was named 77 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.680 the Women's Golf Scholar Athlete of the Year for the PAC twelve. So that's 78 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:18.720 pretty cool. Your name. Stop stop getting that for us so quickly. 79 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.240 Hope we got it. We still hope we got it right it right? 80 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:27.240 Hopefully today? Yeah, today's the final day, the final round. Let 81 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.920 me see how how they're doing, because they they were kind of in the 82 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.360 middle of the pack yesterday. So let me, let me look them up 83 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.439 and see where they are. Okay, no, great, you got the 84 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.399 name. Yeah, but she was named Women's golf Scholar Athlete of the Year. 85 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:46.360 Yeah. You guys come for academic right. Yeah. And then sticking 86 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:53.160 on the golf note, Arizona women's golf player Charlotte Back posted a Pack twelve 87 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:58.480 championship record of sixty four on Monday, so she was eight under par in 88 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.759 there tournament. Well that's quite a thing. Let me say, this is 89 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:09.519 the final round, I guess, and it looks like they finished in sixth 90 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.199 place, So what does that mean isn't over Well, they had there's a 91 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:19.199 committee, so Stanford won won the thing, so they're in and uh, 92 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.240 you know, because there's an one automatic bid and then after that, you 93 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:28.480 know, there's a committee that determines who the rest of the the the teams 94 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.360 in the in the tournament are. Arizona finished sixth. Actually they shot for 95 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.480 into part of day, so that's that's pretty good. Moved up from seven 96 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.839 to sixth. But it was Stanford, USC, Oregon, U C l 97 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.360 A, Washington and then Arizona. Stanford ran away with a twenty eight under. 98 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.800 Yeah they killed it today. Okay, Well, she wrote the record, 99 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:53.399 So all right, and then I know I kind of wanted to talk 100 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:58.040 about this with you guys. So this in this article by Arizona Desert's Worm, 101 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.720 Elijah Arena, who's the son of gilb Arenas, is a top high 102 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:06.319 school prospect coming to got an offer from Arizona and he's a top high school 103 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.079 prospect. I think they have him as like third in his class right now. 104 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.439 He's a sophomore, and he I think when he's already got his offer 105 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.759 from here, he's gone from u C l A too. Yeah. You 106 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.560 think in Arizona the top two right now? Yeah? Right. I thought 107 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.120 he was older than that. But that's great because and you know he's gonna 108 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.920 be good. You know he's gonna be good. Yeah, And he said, 109 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:31.519 the question is is he's going to be a nut? Like that's what 110 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:36.800 I want, because that's exactly it's just that means that we have three years 111 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.920 left to deal with Gilbert coming in and being a nut, because let me 112 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:43.759 tell you, when he was here, he was a nut. He was 113 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.360 a nut. He drove Louke crazy. And next time we have Geenet who 114 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.759 said, Wilves have some stories about Areas when he was nut in the NBA 115 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.519 too. Oh he was squelling. Come on, how many times you take 116 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.319 a get into a nutting and that's got him out of the NBA locker room. 117 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.399 You know, That's why Vid loves his Ketsunes. But I didn't listen 118 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.079 to Gilbert when he was in school. Here, I quoted him because I 119 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.560 had to. I ain't gonna listen to him. Now do we know anything 120 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:16.120 about his kid? He's fantastically. He's fantastically Gilbert talent. Yeah, and 121 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.000 Gilbert, if you remember, Gilbert went under the radar for everybody. I 122 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.720 remember when he declared, I'm like, what are you doing? You know? 123 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.240 And then well you know how he got him right. Luke goes into 124 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.600 the room and he's living with his dad in la in Hollywood wherever he was 125 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.120 that and Luke, you know, being the state. The guy has his 126 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.879 championship ring, national championship ring, and Louke with his big fingers, it's 127 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.000 knocking on the table like purposely to make some noise. Yeah, and then 128 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.879 there what's the noise? It's obviously what's the national championship? You know? 129 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.799 That was enough? Yeah? Do you think he'll go here? I think 130 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:54.320 there's a good chance, he said the staff. Yeah, how much does 131 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.000 Gilbert care about Arizona? Though I think he does that, I mean, 132 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.399 will he want his kid to come here? Well, wasn't he pretty critical 133 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.320 of Tommy Lloyd? Most of them were? Most of them were. In 134 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.879 fact, you you had a clip about Oh you didn't use the clip at 135 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.080 the this luson n CUA a tournament where some guy the first question was, 136 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.919 you've been here for three years and nobody really wanted you as the class You 137 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.039 remember that you didn't use it. But he says, well, I understand 138 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.200 they didn't know me. I'm not from here. I understand the ex guys 139 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.799 had no idea who I was, but they love me now or Yeah. 140 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.919 I remember him saying, you know, I had to prove myself here and 141 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.879 then I did that. I don't think you did because you and it was 142 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.279 kind of it was a weird question, the first question. It was. 143 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.000 It was weird for that to be the first question out of the box, 144 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.480 right, like, Okay, nobody liked you in Arizona, so what do 145 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:48.240 you think now or whatever? But I kind of remember Tommy Lloyd saying, 146 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.879 I appreciate the fans for making me earn their respect. And earned their attendance. 147 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.639 Sure, sure, and now everybody loves him, of course. Yeah, 148 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.879 Richard was one of the guys too where they says Damon should have been 149 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.120 the guy or my you know whatever, and then no, that changed pretty 150 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.200 quickly. Yeah, so yeah, I forget that a lot of people were 151 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.679 pretty critical of him. Yeah, but because now you just think of him 152 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.879 and he's done a good job. So all right, So now we're going 153 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.080 to switch over to the NBA. I don't know if I know you said 154 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.759 you saw some of it, Jay, but the Lakers lost in a butter 155 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.480 in a buzzer beater to the Nuggets. Crazy. They were up by like 156 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:30.000 twenty in the second half, and the Nuggets came back and now lead the 157 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.360 series two to zero. I don't know what's going on with these Lakers. 158 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.759 They suck, Yeah, what it is? They suck? At home? 159 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.639 We came up, we came up with a new turn. Well, I 160 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.120 don't think it's a new term. My son said, he was he was 161 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.879 surprised that I had never heard the term. But we were using it. 162 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.000 We were playing golf the other day. We were in a scramble. We 163 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.279 were sucked. I can't wait, Oh my, my, son and a 164 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.960 couple of friends of mine. It was just my high school had a their 165 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.279 foundation had a golf turnament. You know what's turn Embrace the sock. Okay, 166 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.679 I don't know if we were sucking and we and well, actually we 167 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:09.519 weren't sucking. One of the guys in our group was sucking and he was 168 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.720 getting upset that he he is not a good golfer. In fact, he's 169 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.960 a very very bad golfer, and every time he hit a bad shot, 170 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.159 he would cuss. And I say, dude, you're not any good. 171 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.840 Quit expecting to hit a good shot. You suck, So just embrace the 172 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:31.120 sock. Embrace the sock. I feel like to hear that. My son 173 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.600 asked me stop, he goes, He goes, did you make that up? 174 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.399 I said, well, yeah, you've never heard that before and I 175 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.360 said no, he said I've heard it for years. I hadn't heard it. 176 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.120 And I'm like, he said, so you didn't hear that somewhere And 177 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:46.600 then I said no. I was just telling him you're you're a terrible golfer. 178 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.080 You suck at it, so just embrace it. See eventually you become 179 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.919 cool. Yeah, you know, my son was cool that he was impressed 180 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.039 that I came up with that without hearing it from somewhere else. So what 181 00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.480 it's our tagline. We have a few tags on great guests, great interviews, 182 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:07.480 good sports, Embrace, Embrace, so that we used it the whole 183 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.039 because this is like on the third whole and I'm like, you got to 184 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.679 stop getting pissed and you're hitting bad shots because you're not any feel about that. 185 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.600 He embraced it, and it's like he's like he realized, Okay, 186 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.159 you're right, I'm not any good, so I'll just play and we just 187 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.600 played and we had a great time. He embraced the sock and it made 188 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.039 for a great day golf. Who do I know him? Yeah? Dale, 189 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.519 my friend. I would be Dale because I'm horrible. Yeah, but 190 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.360 that's why I don't. But you know, look, I'm not. I 191 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.399 don't suck, but I'm just a little bit above suck. You don't embrace 192 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:48.120 it. Yeah, I think that's called for me. It's it's embrace the 193 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.960 almost sock. Okay, okay, because I do embrace it. I mean 194 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.399 yet, if I hear about you know s or whatever, but I don't 195 00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.039 get upset at myself because I'm not any good you know I'm not good enough. 196 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.000 I'm going to shoot ninety four every time. You're self aware, I 197 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.799 know where you are, you know where you lie. Right. I stopped 198 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.039 throwing clubs years ago. I stopped throwing my bag in the trees. I 199 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.200 stopped supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be fun. And I get 200 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.919 mad at myself if I feel like I'm not having fun because it's supposed to 201 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.559 be fun every time I play. Yeah, So if that works for you, 202 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.240 I embraced the almost suck. Yeah, be self aware and look at 203 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.879 you with a quick shot. On Caleb, someone told him that at the 204 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:43.480 door. So what about stop shooting? Talk if we have a a few 205 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.840 seconds. I wanted to talk about this too, that the NBA I admitted 206 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:54.600 the last two minutes, the last few calls of the games of the Knicks 207 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.440 versus the seventy six Ers, that the calls were wrong. They missed the 208 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:05.600 calls. Yeah, two big calls that they they would have at the at 209 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.799 the very end where they they just mauled, uh, you know, a 210 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.600 player on the inbounds and then Sixers lost the inbounds and lost the game. 211 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.000 So yeah, but what are you gonna do? And then the Knicks lost 212 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:22.159 by three one. Oh well they were up they were up five with twelve 213 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.919 seconds left or something like that, and they were up one at that time. 214 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.039 I went to do you have anymore? One quick thing? So this 215 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.759 is breaking news. This is real breaking news. Uh, Team Mac practice 216 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:37.080 today with a moot and a scooter.

All 289 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:41.799 here in Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Oh, Steve, he's day. You've 290 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.799 got to at least with us. Now we have Troy Hutchinson from Goasycats dot 291 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.799 com. Troy, what is what's going on over there? A lot of 292 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:56.240 heat and you know t Mac coming out in a scooter and a boot on 293 00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:03.599 his left ankles. So no t Mac today practice after suffering a little tweak, 294 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:08.079 it seemed like Saturday's practice. Oh did did did everybody see that? 295 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.359 Did you see what happened on Saturday? And so I mean did you yeah? 296 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:17.440 Yeah? Did you guys know he was going to be out? Yeah? 297 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.839 You know, I didn't know he would be out today. But Saturday, 298 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.119 at the beginning of practice, he just went on a one on one 299 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:29.039 route versus Nacario. Davis made the catch, just seemed to land a little 300 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:33.240 bit awkwardly, walked off fine, but it kind of stepped away from everything, 301 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.400 got looked at and then take it to the locker room. And today 302 00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:38.880 you know, at the start of practice he rolls out and a scooter and 303 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:44.119 a boot on the left leg. I don't know if it's anything too serious, 304 00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.440 but it definitely is not anything in the knee area. So that's always 305 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:51.920 good to hear. That's good. Then maybe he won't be available on Saturday, 306 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.960 just to keep him safe. My guess is not. You know, 307 00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.759 you never know with these situations. But if I was a coach and you 308 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.519 had a player like that, why risk it? I just you know, 309 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.519 heel it up and get ready for training camp. We know what you can 310 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.440 do and we need to do for training camp in the season. Exactly. 311 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.519 Yeah, but nobody they didn't say anything. They didn't give you say it 312 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:15.319 was just a tweak or anything like that. Did they just say, Okay, 313 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.599 you saw him. He's in a boot. That's all you get. 314 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:21.920 Yeah, we saw that he's in a boot. That's all we get. 315 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.480 This coaching staff, they have been pretty adamant on not talking about injuries during 316 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:32.119 training camp or practices. They would like to keep those more in house. 317 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.799 That makes sense. How has it been We got three four days we haven't 318 00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:40.079 been there because of the show. So you know, does it looking good? 319 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.640 Looking sharp? What do you what do you see? Flocking good? 320 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:48.319 Offensively, a lot of different formations, a lot of motion in this offense 321 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:51.799 from Dino Babers to tight end sits, so you're going to see a lot 322 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:56.319 of tight end usage for Arizona. Defensively, very aggressive. You know, 323 00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:03.440 Duynea Keena talked about bringing the desert swarm defense mentality back to Tucson but keeping 324 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.720 the four to two five system. He really likes that defensive base. But 325 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.079 you know it's been as promised, a lot of blitzes, a lot of 326 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:14.680 zone blitzes. So two things are clear. There's gonna be a lot of 327 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.519 motion on offense and defensively they're going to attack the football. Interesting. Interesting 328 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:26.000 again over the last couple of weeks, standouts that you've seen in particulars. 329 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.799 Let's start with the defense. You know who who's been sticking out that you 330 00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:36.079 guys have seen really Genesis Smith, you know, safety that came from the 331 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:41.759 Chandler area in his second year with the program. So far this spring he's 332 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.839 actually lined up more in the nickel position, so you might see a switch 333 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.799 there later on come training camp. But he's had a great spring practice, 334 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.279 very athletic and made a couple of plays on some balls, so that's good 335 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:57.599 for Arizona there. And then on the offensive line really has been Windell mo. 336 00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:02.839 You know, he had a rate season last year, but he looks 337 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.880 a little bit more mobile. I don't want to say he's trim weight, 338 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.640 but it just looks like he's carrying it maybe a little bit better, you 339 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:11.200 know. Right now some of the offensive line is beamed up. But he's 340 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:18.240 been very consistent and one of the more consistent guys outside of obviously Jonas Savnea. 341 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:21.039 So some of the guys have left of as you guys have written about 342 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:25.640 it, talked about it, and one's going to Texas right any of the 343 00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:27.799 other guys settled on where they're going, And I think it's not a surprise 344 00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:33.480 to you guys. No, right now, the guys that have recently entered 345 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:38.359 the portal, like DJ Warnow, you had Howkins entered the lawn snapper and 346 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:42.599 then also another safety as well. His name's escaping me right now. But 347 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:48.359 they're actually at practice, practicing. They're going to practice with the team and 348 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.160 make their decision at a later date if they're going to even come back to 349 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.920 the team or not. And then Borgeon Joseph Borjon It looks like Washington State, 350 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:02.920 Colorado State, Preslo State are interested in him. So those are the 351 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.799 ones to watch right now. And you know, as this window remains open, 352 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:08.920 you could see more names either go in or it was going to add 353 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.279 more names to its roster. But until that window closes, which I think 354 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.559 is about fourteen thirteen days. That can't do math right now. But in 355 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.119 the short amount of time that we have, you're gonna see a lot of 356 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.200 movement. Okay, Troy, you just mentioned some schools for Borjon that are 357 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:32.440 let's just say, a notch below Arizona. Why why is he leaving then? 358 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.680 I mean he's playing right? I mean is he playing? I mean 359 00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:40.640 isn't he Does he have a chance to start or does he not have a 360 00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:45.200 chance to start? No, on the offensive line right now, if nobody 361 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.680 leaves again, I always say that because of this portal situation. Right now 362 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:53.519 you have Jonas salvne on right tackle and then left left tackle is Raymond Palito, 363 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:59.839 So the tackle positions are pretty much sad and Borjeon for most spring has 364 00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:03.119 been working with the third unit. This is guy that was, you know, 365 00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.440 with the second unit and even played in some games last year and uh, 366 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.480 Rhino and I'm not even gonna try to say the last name right now 367 00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:15.319 has been more of that second string uh left tackle slash whee tackle for Arizona. 368 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.720 So right now, this coaching staff clearly didn't favor Borjon like the previous 369 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:26.279 staff got it. Okay, So so how safe is Polluta for Arizona? 370 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:32.480 Is he safe to be stayed? You know, I think it's a day 371 00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:34.920 to day situation. Obviously he hasn't put his name in the portal, but 372 00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:41.119 you never know with other programs interested in offensive linemen and relationships that players have 373 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.319 built with other coaches throughout their time. But as of right now, he 374 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:51.039 is an Arizona Wildcat. He's had he's had a pretty good spring practice. 375 00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.519 He's been out a couple of times, but in general it's been a solid 376 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.519 practice for him. But until that portal closes, he can't say for sure 377 00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:00.799 if somebody is going to be on the roster coming twenty twenty four. All 378 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:04.680 right, what's happening in the running back room? You know, we're saying, 379 00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:07.799 you know, we know who they've got, But now you've got Damien 380 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.920 Martinez possibly coming here. You had a guy that was coming here? Who's 381 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.759 not coming here? What does it look like so far? And are you 382 00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.440 hearing anything about the Oregon State kid? Yeah? So right now, you 383 00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:23.240 know with Klawley Connley, he looks like the number one back with what they 384 00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:29.000 have on campus right now, very steady. Right now, he's dealing with 385 00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.160 some stuff, so he hasn't been at the last couple of practices. Nothing 386 00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:34.960 major, but he'll be back. And then after that it's ray Sewn Luke. 387 00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:40.400 You have Jordan Washington and Brandon Johnson. Those guys have a lot of 388 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:45.640 speed, very physical backs. In terms of Brandon Johnson and Luke, he's 389 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:49.200 put on the weight so you're seeing improvements from him. I think you need 390 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:55.079 to add another back like you just saw that they tried to do with Corey 391 00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:59.519 Merritt who just left for Ole Miss. You need a back like that be 392 00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.519 what is, you know, the workhorse in today's college football. So Martinez 393 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.000 is going to be a big question mark for Arizona. Are they able to 394 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.960 get them? If not, where do they go from there? And right 395 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.000 now with Martinez, I would say it's coming down to Arizona Miami. Is 396 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.680 it going to be nil or potentially you know, being an offensive weapon in 397 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:23.480 what might be one of the better offenses in college football. So we go 398 00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.480 to these practices, especially in the fall, Jay, you know, we 399 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.279 kind of do a little pack routine with the with the with the beat guys 400 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.319 and whatever, and I'm sure nil comes up. Has nil come up a 401 00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:37.319 lot with you guys that are going to this this, uh, the spring 402 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:42.000 practices because it's important obviously, and every everywhere. How much do you talk 403 00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:45.319 about that? Is Arizona actually doing a good job with that? Do you 404 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.799 know? You know, Arizona's NIL situation has improved from the last couple of 405 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:55.720 years. I think Jad did a great job of starting that. And then 406 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.680 Brennan once he has hirt, once he was hired, Arizona got a lot 407 00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.960 of or from boosters and donors and alumni that new Brennan very well, and 408 00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:07.720 we're excited about the hire, even though seeing a head coach leave and a 409 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:12.079 great situation is always tough. So their NIL numbers have gone up for football 410 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:15.960 during that time. But is it going to be enough to get a guy 411 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:19.359 like Martinez right, that's the question. But they're still in a much better 412 00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.480 situation than they were let's say two years ago. Even a year ago. 413 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:27.039 Yeah, interesting, interesting stuff. You know, We've had a lot of 414 00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.880 conversation about this, and I hate to keep kicking this can down the road, 415 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.640 but I mean, you know, how much of you hearing that it's 416 00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.279 such how big of a deal is If some coaches say it's the first thing 417 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:40.519 people talk about, other coaches say, well, if that's the first thing 418 00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:44.720 you talk about, I don't want them. Do you have any idea where 419 00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:48.160 Brendan sits in all this and how he's handling that as far as that goes, 420 00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.160 You know, I think it's somewhere in the middle. He's more of 421 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.880 a coach that realizes it is the state of college football, but he doesn't 422 00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.440 want that to be the determining factor for a player coming to his programs. 423 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.920 He wants players that want to be there, that want to compete at a 424 00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:08.640 high level and want to win and care about that first more than nil. 425 00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:11.240 Because at the end of the day, and you know, he said this, 426 00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.119 and a bunch of coaches on airson a staff I said this as well, 427 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.319 if you're winning and you're all doing well, everybody will you know, 428 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.079 move on to the next level and play at the next level and make more 429 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.799 money. So you know, having the short term money now compared to the 430 00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:29.440 long term money later. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. 431 00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:32.440 So what are we going to see on Saturday? We were talking about 432 00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:33.799 grunk coming, but that's not going to happen, right Are they going to 433 00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:38.480 have special activities coming Saturday? You know that? I really don't know. 434 00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:44.119 I know Brennan said it's going to be mostly run like a practice with some 435 00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.279 scrimmaging. But they're not going to have a complete scrimmage game right now. 436 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:51.880 They don't have the numbers on the offensive line with some players out, and 437 00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.200 you know, they're just going to write like a normal practice with half of 438 00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:59.440 it being practiced and then the other half being a scrimmage. That's no fun. 439 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.759 That's no fun. Troy, can you can you go have a talk 440 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.400 with him and say we want Dane gain, we want to gain. I 441 00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:08.640 get it. You guys know it's not in the heat. Well that's true. 442 00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:14.400 I'll give him, but dang it, there's no fun. I'm not 443 00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:19.119 gonna go. Yeah you can, I'll see you there. Yeah, you 444 00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:22.640 know, I'll be there. Dang it. All right, I'll think on 445 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.279 my Saturday, not going is this spring practice? This is his first, 446 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.440 you've been to maybe three four years of these, any different than the than 447 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:36.960 the previous ones with fish or something, you know, I think in terms 448 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.319 of energy from the coaching staff, it's a little bit of a difference. 449 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.400 Obviously you have Duwayne Aquina and other members of the coaching staff that are very 450 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.920 vocal, but in terms of Brennan, it's not the same. Like you 451 00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:52.440 sense his presence on the field like you did Jedge. It was right in 452 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.759 the middle of it and you could hear him from all the way across the 453 00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:02.119 field. Brennan's more laid back, trusting businessses and coaches to do what they 454 00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:04.960 do. You know, Dino and Aquina have a lot of experience and he 455 00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:08.799 trusts those guys where I don't say, I'm not gonna say Jed Dinnon, 456 00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:14.839 but he was definitely involved with a lot of parts of the football program and 457 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:19.160 compared to someone, to be quite honest, Jed and Brennan, these are 458 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:25.240 just much more well ran practices than what we've seen in the past, and 459 00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:29.039 there's a purpose to the drills. There's a purpose to what they're doing, 460 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.279 and you can see their vision and what they want in terms of culture and 461 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.640 their program as you're going throughout this practice. Well, you would almost expect 462 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.000 that, you know, with Brennan being you know, hiring the guys that 463 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.640 he hired. Uh. I mean, if you're not gonna let those guys 464 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.759 coach, then don't hire those guys, right, I mean those you know, 465 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:53.039 and I'm talking about you know Aquina and Uh and Uh and uh Babers. 466 00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:56.559 If you know, if you're not gonna let guys coach, then those 467 00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.079 aren't the guys you want to hire. So I'm not surprised to hear that 468 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.559 he's actually letting them do that. And not only that, but you have 469 00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:06.519 a guy like Danny Gonzalez, who were going to talk to you on Thursday, 470 00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:09.200 who's the new Mexico head coach. Has been a defense coordinator at ASU 471 00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:14.799 and San Diego State, and although he is a special teams and linebackers coach, 472 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.480 he's helped out on the defensive line. He's helped out in the secondary. 473 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:22.039 These coaches kind of move round. Obviously they stick to their one position, 474 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:25.240 but all of them give pointers to every position. They know what they're 475 00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:30.359 doing. They've had coaching experience on the staff and it shows because they're able 476 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.319 to give pointers even to guys that aren't in their position group. So at 477 00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:37.000 the end of the day, the guy who came from from New Mexico to 478 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.640 Arizona then he left. UWA, what was the real story behind that? 479 00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:44.440 Did he think that, I turn Martinez is gonna come here, so he 480 00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:47.839 was going to lose some time? You know? I think with that he 481 00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.359 was he was command its Arizona. But when you have a transfer that commits 482 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:59.400 well before spring and they're not at spring practice, that usually means that they're 483 00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:04.839 probably still looking for a better opportunity, whether it be nil or whatever it 484 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:08.000 is. And I think ole Miss just came in and offered a lot of 485 00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:13.039 nil. Again Merit is a very good running back, one of the top 486 00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.559 backs in the portal, and ole Miss is going to be good with him. 487 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.039 And I think it was just came down to that where, you know, 488 00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:23.599 there was a better opportunity for him in terms of nil. Okay, 489 00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:29.519 okay, anything else that we missed, get about a minute, you know, 490 00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:35.839 No, I think fans should watch this spring game coming up. Watch 491 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.400 to see how the offense moves and the tight ends on the field and all 492 00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:43.039 the motions on the field, and then defensively, watch who's in the nickel 493 00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.200 position.

Man, I 579 00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:49.719 thought you I thought you did. It's funny because it was four twenty one 580 00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:52.400 and I said, oh it was everyone missed fortune. I didn't see ye 581 00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:53.719 didn't hear anything about it. Yeah, it's funny, though. No, 582 00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:59.719 I don't do that that that stuff. Unfortunately, you probably should, Man, 583 00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:07.599 It would it would relax, Nico would know you're right. Nico would 584 00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:09.920 know that would be less less stressed out. You're probably right. How you 585 00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:14.960 doing? What's up? Man, is that that work? Is that what 586 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:16.480 you called about? Just to wish to ask Steve what's up with his voice? 587 00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:21.559 And Nico? That throw me off?

People ask about people ask about Gabe Gabe A 601 00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:31.039 lot of I think those are our two most I hear a lot of requests 602 00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:35.480 for how's Gabe doing and you know all that kind of stuff, right right 603 00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:40.159 right, Yeah, just drop that.

And remember to 608 00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:59.480 be positive like ye be positive, unlike unlike Steve and I gorgeous, grouchy. 609 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:05.320 Right, bring something. Okay, here's a personal question. What do 610 00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.960 you tell your parents about us? Well, my mom met Steve. Oh 611 00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:15.079 your mom met where Yeah, she looks like an older, older version of 612 00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:19.760 Yeah. People say like, I look exactly like my mom that they could 613 00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.280 tell they knew if they didn't even know she had a daughter and they saw 614 00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:27.000 me, they y, I can open her phone. We do you have 615 00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:31.239 a cock hold that thought hold. You're on the air and I on the 616 00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:37.280 ball. So, guys, who was the best point guard? You've seen 617 00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:43.320 it the U for five years? Jim in my time, it's not even 618 00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:50.800 a question. When was the last time you won a national championship with Bibby? 619 00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:58.400 So well? Yeah, well, of course, yeah, we know 620 00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:00.840 that. I know you want to kind of expect yesterday's conversation. T J 621 00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:05.880 McConnell was fantastic. They had every chance to win the national title with that 622 00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:08.960 team right for two years, and that and that team that the you know, 623 00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:14.480 the team that Brandon Ashley got hurt could have You know, I had 624 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:21.920 a really good chance. You twitter, No, I know, uh, 625 00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:27.559 Jim, But TJ McConnell was that quality. He wasn't Mike Bibby, but 626 00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:31.920 he was the last really really good true point guard that Arizona had and they 627 00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:37.199 could have gone to the final four two times with him. Yeah, nobody 628 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:43.320 questions that. And that's and that's how and why they won their last championship, 629 00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:46.039 no question. In fact, I've said this publicly for years that Bibby 630 00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:51.280 should have been the m o P for the final four and the tournament because 631 00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:57.960 he was much better than Miles. Yeah, no, no doubt, nobody's 632 00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:00.679 gonna nobody's gonna argue with you on that one. I mean, we we 633 00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:04.199 do know that. And again, you know, I got all kinds of 634 00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:10.119 arguments yesterday about my suggestion, and the truth is X marks the spot. 635 00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:16.480 Who was fighting with you? I heard a lot of none. No, 636 00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:21.599 that's not what it was no. No, I mean no, there was 637 00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:24.039 a whole lot more to why Arizona didn't go any further than the point guard. 638 00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:29.760 That's the that's the point we were making four other players, that's the 639 00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:32.199 point we were making that it wasn't all I mean, yes, you needed 640 00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:36.880 a better book point guard than Colin Boswell, at least a point guard who 641 00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:39.079 played better than than Boswell. But there were other you know, Caleb buff 642 00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:42.880 couldn't you know, couldn't shoot out of his way out of a paper bag 643 00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:47.280 at the end of the day. So your point guard takes care of the 644 00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:52.199 distribution set on the floor and he overcomes a lot of those whatevers and what 645 00:44:52.400 --> 00:45:00.559 happens and and externalities that don't even come about because he just made a pinpoint 646 00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:02.760 pass under the basket. Okay, but let me say, let's say it 647 00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:07.679 this way. I guarantee you, all other things being equal, if Caleb 648 00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:13.199 Love is Mike Bibby's shooting guard instead of Miles Simon, they don't win the 649 00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:19.480 national championship. So you know, it was more more to it. Say 650 00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:25.440 that again, how far would this team this year have gone in your estimation 651 00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:32.039 if you trade Mike Bibby in and Boswell out maybe one more game because Caleb 652 00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:36.840 Love could not. They did not have a guy, a shooting guard who 653 00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:38.480 could shoot those last few games of the season. Although you would have taken 654 00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:42.880 up some slack, he would have. But that's why I say one more 655 00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:45.800 game they would have lost. They would have lost eight games. They would 656 00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:49.039 have lost probably three games. Four games. Been very, very good, 657 00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:51.920 But at the end of the day, you still need Ballow to hit pree 658 00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:54.239 throws and and and then you need Caleb Love to hit shots. No matter 659 00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:59.719 who your point guard is, you could add, you know, Magic Johnson 660 00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:01.679 is the point guard. Jim, do you at the at the end of 661 00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:05.760 the day, did you think Arizona had any chance I'm winning the title? 662 00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:13.679 No, exactly, for probably the reason we're talking. Yeah, I guess 663 00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:16.320 I have different reasons than you. But I didn't think they would win. 664 00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:22.440 I thought they I thought they I thought they would. Yeah, I thought 665 00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.360 they wouldn't want more game, I really did. I was they would, 666 00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:29.679 but I did. I didn't break my heart. I mean I could see 667 00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:34.400 what was going on. Yeah, Okay, Jim, thanks a bunch for 668 00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:37.440 calling as always. Yeah, appreciate it. Yeah, Jim hadn't call in 669 00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:40.599 a while, So that was good. Two days in the right yet before 670 00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:44.719 Yeah, we still have time for another couple of quick calls. Six and 671 00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:47.400 a half minutes left. Uh, it's when it's Tuesday. We will see 672 00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:52.079 you for until next week, right as you get ready for graduation. And 673 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:53.960 then we have some more interns coming in, so we're gonna be busy though 674 00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:59.880 we already have our right we have for tomorrow. Matt Reynoldson, he's the 675 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:04.840 uh semi you sports guy over at kV away hold that toot? Do we 676 00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:07.679 have a call? Okay, not the call? Holy cow, Hi, 677 00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.440 you're on the arm and I on the ball. I just want to get 678 00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:15.079 a quick call in on Arizona. What's your name? Malick? Malick? 679 00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:21.519 Give us what do you got? So one thing I've noticed it seems like 680 00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:25.199 for quite a while, Jove seems to get a lot of great talent coming 681 00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:30.199 in. But it seems like every year the team is playing four on five, 682 00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:32.639 there's always it's usually the point guard. It's a small point guard, 683 00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.400 not a shooter, not a scorer, more defensive, and when it comes 684 00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.679 down to the tournament, that's what really comes back to by this, when 685 00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:44.599 we need that extra funt right, extra shooter, the extra score. Eve 686 00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:46.559 doesn't tend to do that. I don't know if that's by design, but 687 00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:50.719 it just seems like if they could get a team with five players that actually 688 00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:53.440 contribute consistently, they can go all the way. No, that's that's a 689 00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:57.159 really good point. And that's why you see that the teams that have the 690 00:47:57.559 --> 00:48:02.039 great point guards that when needed can score and and you know, pick things 691 00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:06.840 up like that's what Mike Bibby did. That's exactly what he did in that 692 00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:14.320 ninety seven tournament run. Is that he contributed not only by by as dealing 693 00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:17.679 the ball, but he made some big shots, particularly in the final four. 694 00:48:17.800 --> 00:48:22.000 And I agree with Steve he was he was the key to why they 695 00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:25.079 won. I know, I know Myles Simon scored all those points, but 696 00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:30.360 Mike Bibby was the best player on the floor in all those games. Absolutely, 697 00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:34.039 no one agree with you on that. And and those are the teams 698 00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:37.360 that win the tournament every time you go back and look at it. Every 699 00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:42.519 time they've got a great point guard. That's right. Thanks for calling. 700 00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:45.039 This's your first time calling us. I think it was my second time calling 701 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:50.079 in like the last five years. Thanks for you appreciate your calling, but 702 00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:53.039 I'm always driving home from all right, thanks for listening. Feel free to 703 00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:55.880 call more. Put us in your contacts. You can do in auto dial. 704 00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:00.960 We don't get there as many sensible callings, did you. Yeah, 705 00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:05.400 I'm putting this in my contact with today. All right, appreciate it. 706 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:08.519 Thanks for colling. Say great, Malik, Yeah, that was great, 707 00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:13.079 No, Steve, I mean yeah, look I agree with Jim. You 708 00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:16.440 know. The thing of it is is that, you know, Colin Boswell 709 00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:20.440 looked like he was a really good point guard for a while and then it 710 00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.480 all went to got another call to poopy. All right, let's take this 711 00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:27.800 one. Hi, you're on the aaron I and the ball? Hey, 712 00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:30.760 Jay, this is done. How you guys doing? How are you done? 713 00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:32.719 What's up? All right? Hey man, we got to get off 714 00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:40.679 of the basketball thing, Jim. It's twenty twenty four. Nobody has their 715 00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:45.960 true point guard anymore. That yeah, get over it, Arizona. For 716 00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:50.840 years since t J. McConnell was gone, and before he got here, 717 00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:54.519 whoever had the ball brought it up. If it's Caleb Love, it's Pelly 718 00:49:54.599 --> 00:50:00.559 Larson, it's Kylin Boswell, whoever. So that's that's a moot point anymore 719 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:07.280 going forward? Yeah, okay, but but the real reason I'm calling is 720 00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:15.880 somebody is lying about the football team. Okay, in what sense? In 721 00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:22.199 the Wildcaster, when Damian Martinez was here on his visit, he was quoted 722 00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:28.840 as saying that he's not transferring over ni L. He's trying, he's playing 723 00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:32.760 the long game. He was looking for the best situation for the next level. 724 00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:38.199 And then your guest just said, if the nil money is there, 725 00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:44.079 we'll see if he comes back. Which is it's it's probably both. It 726 00:50:44.840 --> 00:50:46.400 could be both. What are you going to say, I didn't marry her 727 00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:49.960 because she's pretty or you know, what are you gonna say? What's the 728 00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:52.679 right answer? Do you like Santa Claus? Oh? Yeah, I love 729 00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:57.360 Santa Claus. Of course he's gonna say it's not nil at the end of 730 00:50:57.360 --> 00:51:00.159 the day, are you well he could I'm he didn't have to say that. 731 00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:06.119 It wasn't if he's looking, if he's looking to get to the league, 732 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:10.119 do you want to play an Arizona schedule or do you want to play 733 00:51:10.360 --> 00:51:15.199 I don't even know who Oregon State is going to play next year. Well, 734 00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:19.679 he's not going to Oregon State. He's he's he's going, He's going 735 00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:23.760 somewhere. And what what Troy Hutchinson said is he thinks it's between Arizona and 736 00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:30.440 Miami. Yeah. I heard that part too. And the one good thing 737 00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:35.480 that that Croy did say was that, which I thought was funny, was 738 00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:39.239 as soon as they hired Brennan that a lot of a lot of the boosters 739 00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:45.039 started chipping in more. Yeah. Yeah, then when than when Fish was 740 00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:50.119 here. I think that I think that I could be totally wrong that Fish 741 00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:53.880 was overbearing. I want to say that in a sense of that's what he 742 00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:59.039 coaches do this. Now they're out there chasing the money because they have to. 743 00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:01.280 And I'm not too sure if that may be in too much. You 744 00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:05.880 know what I'm saying, asking for too much? Well, he may have 745 00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:09.519 been demanding for the moneys of asking for it. That's it. That's it. 746 00:52:09.559 --> 00:52:14.000 That's a good good word to say. And and that's that's what I 747 00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:16.400 took. You your your your statement to me, and Steve was he was 748 00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:22.079 probably a lot more Hey, I need this, yes, instead of I'd 749 00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:24.840 like to have whatever you can give. No, I think exactly if you 750 00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:29.360 want us to be this program, you need to give, right, you 751 00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:30.880 know exactly, Dog you thanks for coming.
