00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:37.680
so expect who knows what anything can
happen, Anything can happen, It

18
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.799

Wednesday. Two more days when we won't

19
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.640
year and one day closer to the
final four. I'm excited, Yeah,

20
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.760
yeah, very excited. And you
know what someone asked me is the is

21
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.200
the women's final four more exciting than
the men's final four this year? And

22
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.560
I'm thinking you might be right.
The fact that they have to think about

23
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.239
it, right, the fact that
they have to think about it says a

24
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.640
lot of mind. So much storyline, so many great storyline, the great

25
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:08.479
storylines. You know, obviously the
generational player in Caitlyn Clark, right,

26
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.639
people waiting to see, you know, she win the championship and you know,

27
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.000
put her name up there on the
but in the Mount Rushmore of women's

28
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:21.319
college basketball. You know, here's
the problem with all that we don't we

29
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.800
don't. I don't follow it.
I'll be guilt. I'm guilty of that

30
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.639
for for years, right, for
years, for years. And I hope

31
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.960
that we have a dea on on
on the show at some point because she

32
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.599
lived that she played that she knows
it that where she could put if she,

33
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.360
if she does, deserve to be
put on Mount Rushmore. We didn't

34
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.360
see sheryld Miller play. I didn't
I did. How good was she really?

35
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:47.520
Swoops shop? She was a she
was in MS in terms of her

36
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.439
style of play was more like a
Juju watkin right, And she was athletic.

37
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.520
She was athletic physical at a time
when there weren't that kind of athletic

38
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.879
physical grinder. She could shoot the
hell out of the ball to Rosa.

39
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.479
Yeah, I mean people again,
people made fun that was actually better than

40
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:07.039
Reggie or not. Oh right,
Yeah, and probably for her, for

41
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:13.479
her, for her uh gender,
probably in terms of comparatively. Yeah,

42
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.599
but you know what I'm saying,
how do we know Clark is fantastic at

43
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.240
least that I've seen. But I
didn't see anybody before her. It's like

44
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.960
watching Secretary or I mean, if
you didn't watch Kelsey Plumb, if you

45
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:30.560
didn't like I saw Sabrina Ieski,
but you know she's ROSSI great. I

46
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:31.960
didn't you know, I didn't see
Dan and Tarssi all that much. As

47
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.719
you said, Cheryl sweeps all the
you know, all these players whose names

48
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.280
are out there, whose names come
to mind when two guys who don't haven't

49
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.800
spent a lot of time uh watching
football, I mean watching women's basketball,

50
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:50.479
you know, those names come to
us. But you know, this is

51
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:55.319
this is a situation where everybody knows
and they're watching there even though they don't

52
00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:00.719
even like basketball or women's basketball.
Unless that I was with a group of

53
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.560
guys, my guys, and they
were talking about I said, old dudes,

54
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:08.520
some old dudes talking about women's basketball. That never happens. You know,

55
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:14.080
it's not in terms of how many
people are watching and that kind of

56
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:18.839
stuff. Certainly not the men's Final
Four. It's not, and I doubt

57
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.680
if it ever will be. But
in terms of what are people talking about

58
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.920
and where it's come from? Right
where it's come Yeah, you know where

59
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.240
you know, what are people talking
about? There's a lot of people talking

60
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:31.720
about and there will be a lot
of people in front of the TV on

61
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.439
Monday night. There'll be Friday night
with another storyline with Connecticut and in Iowa

62
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.680
and then the other side as well, North Carolina State and South Carolinina.

63
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.800
You know, the most invincible team
this year undefeated again. So another week

64
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.600
great weekend of basketball obviously Saturday with
the men and then Monday night with them.

65
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.680
And you know, I again,
as much as I've been bad mouthing

66
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.600
this Purdue in North Carolina State game
coming up, I think Fordue is just

67
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.680
going to kill them and it's going
to be a not an interesting game to

68
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:06.040
watch. You still have to be
intrigued by the matchup of Zach Eedy against

69
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:13.720
dj uh whatever his last name is, Bloom Bloom Burns, Burns Burns.

70
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.800
Yeah, so let me don't even
know his names, uh so, but

71
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.240
go ahead and and go your chalky
way as we know it. In the

72
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:26.600
final four, Arizona was not Chuck. They won it. Georgetown lost to

73
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.000
not Chuck. We can go.
And I was just gonna mention one of

74
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.519
the great teams ever, and I
think they beat who they beat to get

75
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.319
to that point because they were on
one of those magical lives. Yeah,

76
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:43.360
they they got in because they won
their conference conference tournament that year as well,

77
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.519
a lot of people comparing those two
things. And then they beat the

78
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:53.240
most one of the best teams ever
at that time and probably say, so,

79
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.360
okay, we kind of started differently, but here we are looking forward.

80
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.639
So a lot of things going on, you see. Uh uh I

81
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.360
guess what's his name? Uh Keishaw
Johnson's gonna be in the dunk contest Thursday

82
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:09.759
night, Phoenix. He didn't see
that he stole a slow breaking news thing

83
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.160
for me, So he's gonna be
up there Thursday night. I was surprised

84
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.519
that Caleb Love was not invited or
asked. Maybe he was to the three

85
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.680
point shooting contest. I remember what
he did in the tournament. Would you

86
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.439
invite it? It would be if
he went that he play that he wanted,

87
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:27.399
and I'd be mad at you.
You damn monk, Smoky Gonzales,

88
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.800
you and everybody else. Oh sure
you can shore when nobody cares, when

89
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:40.360
the pressure is not on. Oh
for sure. You ever read the Monkey

90
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.720
story? I didn't what I was, you know what, I was going

91
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.759
to do my homework and I got
stranded until I got stranded with my car.

92
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:46.839
I'm trying to get it started.
I couldn't. I had to have

93
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.240
my wife meet me over there.
So, dude, how many times you

94
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:53.680
feature homework? I got way late. I will read I will read it

95
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.720
before the next show, I promise. Okay, that's tomorrow, our last

96
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.399
one, last show of the week. Yeah, we're both headed to the

97
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.240
Final four on Friday, so there'll
be no show Friday, no show Monday,

98
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.040
so well, but we'll be back
on Tuesday. You get us going

99
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.160
into the summer, right right,
Yeah, it's gonna be a pretty long

100
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.639
summer. In fact, we're gonna
talk about football today. I haven't been

101
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.160
you haven't been out there practice,
So we're gonna rely on Troy Hutchinson,

102
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.959
who has been out there. He's
gonna tell us all about what he sees

103
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.800
out there looking forward to that day
three I think just finished four maybe three

104
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.600
or four I think they started,
Yeah, yeah, don't yeah, three

105
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.639
or four, So we'll see what
get an update, what what he says

106
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:38.360
about it. And then at four
fifteen, we're gonna have Jason hockemy who

107
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:45.000
just won his toys said, Jason, that other hockey he's gonna be mad

108
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:50.399
at you practicing. Well, I
actually put him on. I put Jason

109
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:56.439
on on on our social media when
it was Kendal that was coming. I

110
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.879
don't remember that was that's worse.
You know the board that's where kidknock me.

111
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.759
Okay, okay, yeah, So
we'll have him talking about baseball here

112
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.680
on the other side, you don't
doing really well them spot too. I

113
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:13.120
think they caught fire just after they
want like sixteen fifteen in row. So

114
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.920
yeah, and she she needs that
to happen. She had been struggling,

115
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.959
so she needs that to happen.
What else locally that we could say she

116
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:28.839
being uh beatos right to make sure
we pull that name like that. I

117
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.080
needed to know because I've known her
dad or mine for years. You probably

118
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.919
remember the dad and right away the
day, well, I had to think,

119
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.200
okay, doctor Rebecca. So last
night I heard a couple of things

120
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.639
from the group that I went,
they really like the wrestler. I had

121
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.720
a lot of good response Audrey.
They really fell in love with her.

122
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:50.919
That she's eighteen, and she spoke
very well. That that was the thing

123
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.039
that everybody said to me. Yeah, well spoken. And she's going to

124
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.679
Lee High turned down Columbia exactly,
She's going to She turned out to love.

125
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.360
She's a smart kid. But but
you know, her enthusiasm and just

126
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.480
you know, just talking about you
know, a passion of hers that that

127
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.159
was turning into something. The wrestlers
are tough. They're the toughest people I

128
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.759
know. Yeah, yeah, angles, you know, I mean, I

129
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.600
mean, you went to you in
high school, you need the wrestlers and

130
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.279
if you're you know, they're the
footballers. Well yeah, but some of

131
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.879
them were not. But there was. But even the football players were different

132
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:35.519
during wrestling season. Yeah right,
they had a different I mean it's like

133
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.120
they were always angry at something and
felt they needed to be angry at something.

134
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.639
The toughest to be good wrestlers,
and they were. They were Kamakazi's.

135
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.039
Yeah. They didn't care about their
bodies anything. Well everyone I had

136
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.600
a couple didn't. Who's the guy
they kid at the time, Uh,

137
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.679
Sing David somewhere like that. Tony
found he was a wrestler by trade and

138
00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.679
he came in Saint David, I
think somewhere ring in a little bit of

139
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:05.879
a bell. Uh maybe maybe how
you're listening and let me know, just

140
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.960
just wrestling dudes, Marcus Bell.
No, no, no, they don't

141
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.559
come. I think there's a defensive
guy, defensive d back or or a

142
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.879
linebacker. Just that I think the
spots were wrestled. Probably a lot of

143
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:26.039
those guys don'ts with wrestlers, no
way. Angles they know drinks that you

144
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.399
know, they don't even have r
they know, they don't where to they

145
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.279
don't where to grab And then we
asked him, why would you do this

146
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.080
for the w W whatever, the
UFC. Yeah, this is what I

147
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.720
know, is what I know?
Okay, right, okay, anything else

148
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.480
we need to talk about now,
you know, just a lot more activity

149
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.879
in the in the transfer portal and
stuff like that. We'll get to some

150
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.279
of those things in breaking news.
I haven't seen anybody. I haven't seen

151
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.840
any action around are zon a basketball. Sure, a lot of you know,

152
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.000
a lot of a lot of a
lot of different opinions out there because

153
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.879
some people saying, Okay, Kylin
Boswell will leave, Kylein Boswell won't leave,

154
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.440
Kylin Boswell should leave, Kylin Boswell
shouldn't leave, Kylon Boswell start next

155
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.919
year. No, he won't.
You know, just everybody's got a different

156
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:16.759
opinion. He's sort of the you
know, the polarizing uh well, uh,

157
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.000
you know, per player on the
on the court, the car,

158
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.519
the player everybody's thinking about, like
Caleb Love is gone. Did we have

159
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:28.240
said Johnson's gone? Do we have
this last year? Right? Didn't he

160
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.000
didn't? I guess that truck he
got or whatever money he got was spent

161
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.000
and I guess it turns out,
you know, since he wasn't gonna be

162
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.360
able to play for Huggins, he
didn't want to stay you know anymore,

163
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.679
So he's moving on. So I
you know, that's that's sort of gonna

164
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:50.639
to me. That's sort of the
news of the off season for now for

165
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.360
Man's basketball is what what does happen
to Coylin Boswell? What are they going

166
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.200
to do with him? Uh?
You know, I mean, well know

167
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.559
or we're pretty sure that Tommy loves
him, So I don't think he wants

168
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.679
to push him out the door.
But on the other hand, you know,

169
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.720
he'll be honest with him if if
he's got it, you know,

170
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.879
if the opportunity here is not going
to be what he's looking for, he'll

171
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.879
let him know that, I would
think, right, So, yeah,

172
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.720
I don't think that tom is going
to be as anybody. And so this

173
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.799
is a situation. There was one
thing that I saw yesterday because of Philippe

174
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:28.919
and Morosco left that and maybe we
did or didn't talk about this. I

175
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.399
can't remember about Tommy going deeper into
the bench, right, I think we

176
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.639
did. Because there's no space for
you could talk. You could talk all

177
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.360
the game. You have about having
a bench, But at the end of

178
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.200
the day, when you put him
on the seven eight guys, right,

179
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.200
and when you put him on the
court, they got to be able to

180
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:46.639
help you win. You don't put
him on the court for the sake of

181
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.360
putting him on the court. You
put him on the court because they're helping

182
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.279
you do something. If Moroscos wasn't
playing, even as good as shooter as

183
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.759
he was, then there was something
else he wasn't doing that would have made

184
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.480
him a liability on the court.
Sure, And the same thing with the

185
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:07.480
board of each in it. You
know again, people fail to often fail

186
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:15.799
to understand or believe that when coach
plays guys because those guys are going to

187
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.120
help him win. And if a
guy is not going to help him win,

188
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.399
it's not going to do the things
that they need him to do to

189
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.120
help them win, they're not going
to play. Sure, that's why there

190
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.240
were only seven players in the in
the rotation last Sure. Yeah, no,

191
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.639
of course, And that's who you
trust. Are you use that word

192
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:31.919
because they're going to help you win
games, they're gonna help you lose?

193
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.879
Because what good is it going to
do if Moroscus is hitting threes, but

194
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.399
giving up threes up and down the
floor, that's not what you're looking for.

195
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:45.159
And who knows better, who knows
those guys better than the coach?

196
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.159
I mean, you know, I
mean, And look, we all remember

197
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.120
dusan Rist Its right, guy with
money under the back, throwing the ball

198
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.360
under the bat. He's going to
score, but he couldn't. But he

199
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.000
was such a liability on the other
on the other end of the court,

200
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:01.600
he couldn't go. But he was
in that instance. My guess is that

201
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:07.039
his offense, so it was so
much, so much more out in front

202
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.240
of his defense that they were willing
to do to deal with his defensive liability

203
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.440
to put him out there on offense. Yeah, but not all go,

204
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.120
you know not and then deal with
the frustration knowing that, right, So

205
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.879
you know, play coaches want players
who help them win on the court.

206
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.159
And if you've got seven or eight
or nine or ten, that's how many

207
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.240
you're gonna play. And that's it, that's all you're gonna play. Because

208
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.679
at the end of the day,
the coach is judged by wins and austin,

209
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.159
it's a performance job, right,
And here we are, so we'll

210
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.720
see what happens with the rest of
them with Bosball. Maybe he comes on

211
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.799
seas I'm staying. Maybe he says
I'm coming out and leaving or testing.

212
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.759
I guess. I guess I'll look
up when when the transfer portal. It's

213
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:54.600
pretty it's pretty soon. Well maybe
thirty days after the season. I don't

214
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.279
know. I shouldn't say, and
tell me to find out. So again,

215
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.720
we're gonna go to Ken. No, no, we've got Troy first.

216
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.639
Oh yeah, don't sorry, Troy. I tell you we're gonna miss

217
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.639
this up. I'm gonna miss this
up the Troy at up to five minutes

218
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.200
and then have Ken. How came
he at the four? Care for the

219
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.679
record? The portal closes May one, okay, so yeah, three days

220
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.080
forty five days after the season,
after the after it opens. So May

221
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.399
one is the closing date. And
there's already more than two thousand people I

222
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.600
think in the yeah, and growing
and growing. So student athletes live in

223
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.639
a great time for themselves. They
do. They love the flexibility and not

224
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.200
that, not that, not that
it's good a good time. Yes,

225
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:45.120
I mean for those those of us, the purist who say we don't think

226
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.320
it's great because you know, guys
just come and go and sure, but

227
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.519
coaches, you know, kind of
hate it. But you know, do

228
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.639
they really in the end, because
if they have a bad season, they

229
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.559
can just shuffle the cards and start
all over. But imagine, Sean couldn't

230
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:02.639
do this. You couldn't put all
you know, humpty dumpties back together yet

231
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.799
because you had two many guys and
it takes it takes a while to get

232
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:08.799
them to go. It does,
you know? So it does? All

233

right, we're going to take our
break, We're to come back. We're

Now on the phone, we have Troy

Troy, can I borrow the audio from

310
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:48.559
today's practice? Hey tomorrow you can
borrow as much you as you want.

311
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.920
Well, you've been out to practice. What do you see? What are

312
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.559
they saying? You know, it's
definitely a different vibe, and not in

313
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.160
a bad way or in you know
what's or not, but a little bit

314
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.960
more relaxed out there with this coaching
staff with Brent Brennan. You know,

315
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:08.440
he's kind of a I don't want
to say happy go lucky guy, but

316
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:14.880
it just seems like there's a sense
of calmness and letting his assistant coaches do

317
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.319
what they need to do with the
position groups, and then once they break

318
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.920
into seven on seven and eleven on
eleven, then you really see him take

319
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:26.000
the reins. But all these coaches, they have a lot of experience,

320
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.559
from Duayna Quina to Dino Babers to
Dany Gonzalez just the name a few,

321
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.640
and he trusts his guys, and
I think that's so far is the biggest

322
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.880
takeaway. He is letting his coaches
coach, is he I guess I don't

323
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:42.680
know if we've asked this question before. You know, Jed was a play

324
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:47.880
caller, right Jed was essentially the
offensive coordinator. Is Brent Brannan also the

325
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.160
play caller? Is he the OC? For for the most part, As

326
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.720
of my understanding right now, it
looks like that role is going to go

327
00:22:55.759 --> 00:23:00.359
to Dino babersk and Duyna Keina will
have the defensive play So you're going to

328
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.119
see kind of, you know,
Brennan have his hands in a little bit

329
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.880
of both, but really trusting his
coordinators who have a ton of experience.

330
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:11.279
Well, I guess that'll makes sense. You know, Babers probably wouldn't have

331
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.039
taken the job if he wasn't going
to be calling plays right correct. And

332
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:19.039
also you know he gets to work
with the quarterbacks as well, so he

333
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:25.000
is kind of it was on his
quarterback coach per se, and really has

334
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:30.640
his hands involved in offense. So
very accommodating then media wise, by everybody

335
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:37.680
involved for sure. You know,
it wasn't that the last staff was terrible

336
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.319
at accommodating, but it's definitely a
different vibe. I've never had players come

337
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:45.440
up to you and say mahallo and
give you a hug before a press conference,

338
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.440
but that's just kind of the vibe
going around Arizona football right now.

339
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.000
And you know, after press conferences
we get to talk to the coaches a

340
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.160
little bit off the record and off
camera and you know, just see their

341
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.200
thoughts on the football team and just
a state of the prom in right now.

342
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:03.960
It's you know, very open,
Uh, they're very you know aware

343
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:10.400
of the expectations of this upcoming year
and they're willing to work with you know,

344
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.559
everybody involved in the program and who
covers the program and getting the job

345
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.240
done to help you get your job
done. Well, maybe they're hugging you

346
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:23.240
because they realize you're just a huggable
guy. Just one of those phases.

347
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.960
So I know it's you know,
I know, I go to practice.

348
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.480
I'm not sure what I'm seeing right, But in terms of can you tell

349
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.400
does it look the same in terms
of what they're doing, or can you

350
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:42.720
tell anything from you know, from
from the things that they're doing offensively defensively,

351
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.359
that it's looks any different than than
what they were doing before. Defensively,

352
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.640
it's going to look very similar to
what it was last season, with

353
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.680
coach Johnny Nansen and duyanne A Keina
really being the architect of that defense.

354
00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:00.039
Uh. You know, Keina's mentioned
that there's going to be a lot more

355
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:06.319
pressure on the quarterback this season,
more of a desert swarm like mentality to

356
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:08.839
the defense. But all in all, the defense is going to remain the

357
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:14.319
same with some you know, little
tweaks here and there. Offensively, Coach

358
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:18.359
Babs really wants to keep that under
wraps in terms of what he's going to

359
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:22.559
be running this season, but so
far, there's a lot of movement from

360
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.039
tight ends to receivers to running backs, a lot of motion, a lot

361
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.440
of shotgun thus far. So to
me, I would assume it's going to

362
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.920
be similar to what Baylor ran when
our Brieles was the head coach there,

363
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:41.519
when Dino was I believe the quarterback
coach or receiving coach under Briles at Baylor.

364
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.599
So I think it's going to be
very similar to that and a little

365
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.759
less of what Syracuse had, but
up tempo and a lot of motion,

366
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.519
I think is to be expected with
Arizona. Okay, that's good. Anybody

367
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:57.480
impress you so far? Yeah?
You know, I think the one guy

368
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:03.240
that really stands out receiving room is
aj Jones. Last year he had a

369
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.119
couple plays, didn't really get on
the field that much, but you know,

370
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.119
he's put on a lot of muscle, especially his upper body. The

371
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.440
dudes just ripped and he's making play
after play. Hasn't really dropped very many

372
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:19.480
passes. He could be that number
two receiver to go alongside Tatua and McMillan.

373
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:23.000
I think they need to get that
squared away and then to Carrio Davis,

374
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:27.000
you know, moving from the number
two corner behind Ephesians Prize OC to

375
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:32.720
the number one corner that's a big
responsibility. And he had two interceptions yesterday

376
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:36.759
and one he high pointed over Totoa
and it was really the play of the

377
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:41.880
practice. Just an amazing play by
Davis. But you know, can you

378
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.640
do that repeatedly? I think that's
going to be interesting to see. But

379
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:48.119
you see two guys that need to
step up this season developing for Arizona.

380
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:57.160
So we heard the comments from from
Dino Babers who said that no off of

381
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:03.839
feet is just different. What's the
context of that. I think he means

382
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:10.279
different in terms of a that knows
how to be a leader. You see

383
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:14.200
Noah pulling guys along and you know, making sure they're running the right routes,

384
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:18.000
making sure other quarterbacks are understanding the
concept on the field and making sure

385
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.839
that they do the play well and
they'll redo plays if they need to.

386
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.559
Just that leadership mentality at such a
young age is rare to see. And

387
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.119
then to couple that with his performance
on the field, he's very sharp.

388
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.960
He knows how to read a pocket, he knows how to read a defense,

389
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.480
and he's not going to force stuff. You've already seen him this spring

390
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.240
throw balls away when plays haven't been
there. You know, it's not great,

391
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.960
but it's not an interception. So
you're seeing development that you saw last

392
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.400
season continue on. And yeah,
he's had his you know, tough times

393
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.680
every now and then the spring,
throwing a couple of picks, but you're

394
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.319
seeing an evolution of a quarterback that
can be that guy that maybe goes under

395
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.920
the radar and makes a third fourth
round draft pick out of himself in the

396
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.920
next couple of years. So you've
been a practice, but there was news

397
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.119
today. I don't we can break
here, we can say it. You

398
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.079
know, he's Mason, the Mason, the Mason Kids going to cut to

399
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:18.160
Arizona. But before he got offered
by so offered. Okay, what is

400
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.200
his name, Mason Bray, Heath
Bray's son, Oh, Heath Pratt.

401
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.319
Yes, yes, I did see
that that he got an offer from Arizona.

402
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:30.200
That's that's massive. Good for him
and good for the Brave family as

403
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.920
well. Yes, yes, got
to continue the legacy of his father,

404
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.240
which is good. How is recruiting
going and and what's up with that?

405
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.240
We can also transition to basketball.
You remember that sport just a couple of

406
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:47.240
weeks ago, the sport that breaks
everybody's heart, getting down now, UH,

407
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:49.000
recruiting for football is going there.
Well, they're going to have a

408
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:52.559
lot of official visitors in the next
couple of months from May to June,

409
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:56.880
a lot of five star, four
star kids, UH, highlighted by a

410
00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.680
four star running back out of Texas. So we'll see how those goes,

411
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.839
and we'll go and we'll be able
to talk to some of those recruits as

412
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.720
they finish up their visits. And
then basketball wise, you know, it's

413
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:14.079
transfer season. So we've already seen
two players come off the roster and Polius

414
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:19.599
Morawskis and Philip Borovici, and really
not a surprise in my opinion. Possibly

415
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.000
one or two more as well as
you see a transformation of the roster.

416
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:26.160
But there's a lot of guys out
there to keep an eye on that maybe

417
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:32.039
Arizona hasn't offered yet, like Utah
States point guard. I think that would

418
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:37.359
be a very good addition, or
Miles Miles Rice from Washington State. There

419
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.839
are some names out there that Arizona
could add to kind of shore up there

420
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:48.960
by man rotation. Speedy Luke was
on the podium what yesterday day before talking

421
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.759
about Okay, this is his time, tell us a little bit about what's

422
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.279
going on at running back. Yeah, you know, it's a loaded backfield

423
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.240
with a lot of talent in terms
of speed. Luke looks a little bit

424
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.480
bigger out there than last year.
You could tell he was put on some

425
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:08.519
muscle. And then Kwally Conley.
I mean he has been as advertised to

426
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:15.519
me, he's similar to Quila Antlin
from back in the day. Very center

427
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.440
of gravity can take ahead, bounce
off of guys. But really you're going

428
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:23.559
to see this backfield solidify itself when
Jacorey Mehrick comes over from New Mexico.

429
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:29.759
He's due to come during training camp
and you're going to have about the ability

430
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.519
to go three four deep in the
backfield of two guys really being the workhorse

431
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.240
for Arizona. So, Jay and
I back in the day before you were

432
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:41.359
even born, maybe before your parents
were even married, we covered this team

433
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:47.480
and a young man named Duenna Keenan
was the coach in the backfield giving guys

434
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:52.880
encouragement to encouragement is a great rid
for this for him from him every time

435
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.240
he gets on the podium to talk, it's like listening to a sermon.

436
00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:00.559
I mean it's like can't miss stuff. Yeah, I don't, do you

437
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.519
feel that way. Yeah, No, I mean definitely one of the top

438
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:07.759
interviews on the coaching staff. Him
and UH coach Alonso Carter. They have

439
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.599
a story for everything, and you
know, you ask three or four questions

440
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.920
and all of a sudden, it's
been fifteen minutes. You know, they

441
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.319
should just go on and on,
but you enjoy the stories and you still

442
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.200
get what you need. But yeah, no, Joanna Kina is definitely a

443
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.279
character, and he's somebody that I
think all the media looks for its interviewing.

444
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.759
You know, we know we know
him, you know, as an

445
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:33.119
energetic, all over the place kind
of guy. Any issues with how old

446
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.119
he is and him out there doing
didn't we say when we talked to him

447
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:38.480
in August? Right, didn't he
say you and him are about to say

448
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:41.920
or he's a little old. Yeah, but he's coaching football. I'm not,

449
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.480
you know, but he's so that
was thirty We covered him thirty,

450
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:47.799
yeah, thirty five years ago maybe, and that was when he was like

451
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:49.799
thirty one, I think. But
you know, it's just to me,

452
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.240
it's like, you know, what
when when when he was being talked about

453
00:31:53.799 --> 00:32:00.279
as a possible he's way older than
me. Okay, he's like three years

454
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:07.119
old. That's way, you know, I thought, you know a guy

455
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:09.200
that far along in his football crew, does he want to be a defensive

456
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:13.799
coordinator again, you know, for
a program like this because of the amount

457
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:17.680
of work that it takes to do
it. But he's not lacking the energy,

458
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:22.839
is he. No. I mean
he's the most energetic coach out there

459
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:24.960
on the field. He has more
energy than you know, some twenty year

460
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:29.519
olds watching him on the sideline.
I mean, it's amazing to watch and

461
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:32.079
he does a great job of and
I think you know Tomy used to do

462
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:36.920
this, Loot did this, and
some other coaches in Arizona's history, Mike

463
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:40.079
Andrea of breaking down a player when
they make the mistake, to let them

464
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:45.160
know what they were doing wrong and
what the expectation is, and then building

465
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.039
them back up right after that play, loving on them for making a play.

466
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.440
I mean, it's very you know, technical coaching. And he knows

467
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:54.720
what he wants and he's going to
let you know that. But he's also

468
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:58.720
going to build up in and praise
you and love you when you do good

469
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:01.759
and you succeed and you execute the
drill at a high level. Yeah,

470
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:06.079
I mean, I'm exious to get
out there, and you know, I

471
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.559
mean, I'll have him as much
fun watching him at a practice as watching

472
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:15.680
watching the other guys. Is there
is anybody emerging as a number two quarterback?

473
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:21.599
Number two quarterbacks right now, I
would say is Braydon Dorman, the

474
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:25.160
four star kid out of Colorado last
season really didn't play very much underneath Coach

475
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:30.400
Fish has a very good arm,
a little bit more mobile than what people

476
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:34.079
think. But the short game with
the quick release needs to be improved.

477
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:39.000
After that, you know, it's
it's cold Tannerbaum and that's about it.

478
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:44.759
They probably need to bring in I
would think a quarterback ad grad transfer,

479
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.759
just to have somebody there in case
worse comes to worst and you have to

480
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:53.480
put in a substitution late in the
game. But you know, Dorman's developing

481
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:58.039
very nicely. I just don't know
if he's ready for game action right now.

482
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:00.920
I was gonna ask you something I
can't remember now, darn. Oh,

483
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:04.599
Okay, this is a tough question
for you to answer. You don't

484
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.440
have to answer this, Okay,
So Fish has gone long gone, he's

485
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.960
got you know, they've got the
people that stayed here, do you?

486
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.840
And you don't have to say,
sources, do you get a sensed from

487
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:17.840
the players, And I don't know
if you talked to them, however,

488
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:23.639
that some of them are okay that
he left or or okay, it's not

489
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:30.760
the right word, glad that he
left. I think, you know,

490
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:36.760
maybe not necessarily the guys that were
playing every day, but there are definitely

491
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:42.119
people on the roster that didn't really
get the opportunity that they might have deserved

492
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:47.679
or even carries that they might have
deserved underneath the previous staff with mismanagement of

493
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:53.440
talent. But yeah, I say, I think they're glad to see a

494
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:57.719
new coaching staff come in. I
think they do love the whole coaching staff.

495
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:04.639
But having a waching staff that understands
how to use speed in space is

496
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:07.360
massive. Four Arizona and the roster
that they have put together, you have

497
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:13.599
a lot of speed everywhere from running
backs to receivers and just having the understanding

498
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.320
of how to get them the ball
in space. I think this coaching staff

499
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:20.280
has already shown that they're going to
be able to do that more than the

500
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:23.880
previous staff. Well, okay,
okay, all last year is as good

501
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:29.719
as Temac was. I thought all
along that he was like awful thin,

502
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:32.559
and you know, maybe not somebody
who might not be as physical. I

503
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:36.519
mean, incredibly talented, but I
don't know how physical you could be.

504
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:37.960
I mean, oh, look,
I look at his calves and they look

505
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:45.039
like my daughter's calves. All right, is he gotten much bigger? I

506
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:47.159
think he's put on a little bit
more weight. You know, you can

507
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:52.159
always improve. He's a lot more
physical than last season. He's been able

508
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:57.239
to finish in traffic time to time
in the spring practice. When I look

509
00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:00.920
at what he's been able to do, and the fact that every every rotation

510
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:06.119
in terms of first team offense,
when they first go eleven on eleven,

511
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:09.440
seven on seven, the first play
is always no Fafeita to Tamak every single

512
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:13.360
time. So, my guests,
as of right now, if I had

513
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:15.679
to make some prediction, you're going
to look at the guy that's going to

514
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:20.159
be in that ninety to ninety five
catch range, thirteen hundred yards, fourteen

515
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:22.360
to fifteen touchdowns. I think he's
going to have a massive year and work

516
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.239
his way into the top ten of
NFL draft. Yeah. I think he's

517
00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:28.199
going to be, at the end
of the day, the best player to

518
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:30.920
ever play here. This is the
last year, we're going to see him

519
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:34.400
here. Yes, I think so, and I agree. I think he'll

520
00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:37.400
be able to surpass the Teddy Bruskis
and the Ricky Huntleyes that have played a

521
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:40.960
their zone. Just don't tell him
that Jay said that his ankles looked over

522
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:45.639
his legs. Look, I want
to say, but my daughters don't have

523
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:49.519
chicken legs or anything like that,
but they he just seemed a little narrow.

524
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:54.719
Keep that to yourself. Try no
one's listening anyway. I'm gonna say,

525
00:36:54.719 --> 00:37:00.039
nobody heard. You. Don't tell
nice. We'll talk about basketball and

526
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:02.880
we want to break other people's hearts
later. Okay, have a good one

527
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.239
later. So I'm gonna ask you
that question, to ask him, do

528
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.079
you feel what? Do we know? Right? There always are guys who

529
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:14.719
are happy the other coaching staff left
because for that reason. There's guys that,

530
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:16.199
no matter what, no matter how
well things are going on, there's

531
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:20.119
guys who feel like I need a
new coach here to have an opportunity,

532
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:23.800
somebody else's eyes on me always,
always, no doubt, Why no doubt.

533
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:27.800
You know that that's not a bad
thing. It's just it's just nature

534
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.960
that you know, some coach,
some some guys get you know, they

535
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:35.360
get in, they get in,
they get into a coach's doghouse. The

536
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:37.960
guys that are getting into the coach's
kitchen and you know, they hang out

537
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:42.239
with them. So it's just different
ways. They're always doghouse coaches kitchen like

538
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.599
that. Right, Okay, we're
gonna take our break. We'll come back.

who led them, competed against them,

00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:54.280
talking about you know, Arizona football. You're okay, you're gonna ask me,

625
00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:59.239
Oh well, I answered the question
whether or not you know? I

626
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:01.719
mean, yeah you know. I
mean you got you played on teams that

627
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:06.599
had different coaches and stuff. Yeah
yeah, no, but not like maybe

628
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:08.400
maybe you know a little league coach
or something like that. No, it

629
00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:10.719
was more about God, he makes
us run. I hope he doesn't come

630
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:15.400
back. He makes us run too
much, so we don't really play the

631
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:17.519
game more than that. I used
to play all the time, so I

632
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:22.400
didn't worry. But they was like, please don't make us running. Yeah,

633
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:27.760
I yeah. I mean there have
to be guys who felt like they

634
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:31.480
weren't. They weren't getting the opportunity
that you know that you know, you

635
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:35.159
know, he know that was his
favorite player and stuff like that, and

636
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:37.719
you know, and that's why guys
leaving stuff like that. So yeah,

637
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:40.119
of course, you know there have
to be guys who were saying yeah,

638
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.840
you know, or maybe just guys
I need, you know, need a

639
00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:46.280
little change. Yeah, and a
lot of them left, I mean Rocker

640
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:51.519
and some of those guys left who
looked promising and looked promising, right,

641
00:44:51.559 --> 00:44:53.239
and then all of a sudden,
So we'll see. I'm looking forward to

642
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:55.119
going out there, at least for
the spring game. I don't know when

643
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:58.360
I'll be out there. Yeah,
because the show, they practiced a lot

644
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:00.280
during the show, well they do
practice, so he can't really do that.

645
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:05.000
We could go out there on Saturday
Saturday, or maybe even do the

646
00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:10.239
show from there, maybe not well
from outside yea or nearby, which I

647
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:14.760
guess wouldn't be wouldn't what's the point, right, because we're not going to

648
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:15.920
be in there watching it. Yeah, So what's the point. It's not

649
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:19.679
like we're doing into a play by
play, right, Yeah, am fa

650
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:24.039
Fia goes back to pass the touchdown. The guy with the skinny ankles.

651
00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:31.440
Am I gonna get in trouble for
that? No? You what did you

652
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:37.239
say that? Because I was always
worried about him getting hurt because he just

653
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:42.199
looks so you know, he doesn't
look his upper body looks good. But

654
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:45.760
him, you know, he's he's
thin. He don't even doesn't have big

655
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:50.119
arms or anything. And you know, for the type of game he has,

656
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:52.960
maybe that's how his body needs to
be. You're just worried that he

657
00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:57.159
was breakable. But he was very
durble, didn't miss a game, you

658
00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:00.400
know all that stuff. You know. Yeah, I remember against California last

659
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:04.440
year the year before and you made
that touchdown catch and I says, this

660
00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:07.400
is why they got this kid.
Yeah he could just make place. Yeah

661
00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:10.559
yeah, no, he absolutely can't. I I you know, started going

662
00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:13.559
to be football. I mean,
here we are football. We just finished

663
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:16.239
basketball. I thought the year was
almost in about five weeks. It's four

664
00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:20.320
weeks. But however the weeks it's
almost school years almost done. Yeah,

665
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.719
the year went by very fast.
I think maybe because there was football went

666
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.199
past because they were they were good
and it was fun and it was a

667
00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:29.239
great. The season didn't drag at
all and basketball kind of the same.

668
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.039
Dragged was the time between the end
of the regular season and then the bowl

669
00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:35.760
game because you just want to ride
it back on the right. Yeah,

670
00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:37.239
and then you know, so football
went into December. By the time we

671
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:42.800
come out of football conference season is
starting for basketball and uh and and all

672
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:47.239
those things. It was, you
know, it just it's it's been a

673
00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:53.280
fun school year for sports Arizona and
it always is when football and basketball fun

674
00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:58.119
for whom If you asked if he
key, I don't think it was stunned

675
00:46:58.360 --> 00:47:00.880
if he has pressed so fun,
is it not so fun? That's so

676
00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:08.159
fun? But that was outside of
the outside of the sports area. So

677
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:13.400
we'll see what happens. I'm still
trying to get Greg Burden on tomorrow.

678
00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:20.119
He's in teasing the state now.
So yeah, he's a little He changes

679
00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:23.039
number, he changes numbers. That's
why he ghosted me. It is no

680
00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:27.480
longer in. He probably gotta work. He probably gotta finally Alabama work.

681
00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:29.880
I tried to reach him today,
I couldn't. His number didn't didn't go.

682
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:31.800
Okay, so but I see him
on Twitter, saw when I probably

683
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:36.880
see if he can come on talk
about all this success. I posted something

684
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:38.679
kind of I thought was kind of
funny, but you know what, my

685
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:45.639
humor sucks. Uh when when Alabama
got to lead date and I'm thinking he's

686
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:50.679
taking Bama to lead eight before Arizona
has gotten to the even when he was

687
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:52.440
here, you know, because he
he was here, they were not.

688
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:58.760
I don't think in the labor parts
of was he the ad? No,

689
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:04.119
he wasn't the ad when those two
Sean Miller teams Sean maybe maybe well in

690
00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:07.159
the meantime in the last few years, you know, he went to Alabama's

691
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:10.559
got into them, gott in terms
of yea and now to the final four.

692
00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:17.039
I mean, the guy falls,
the guy lives under under gold or

693
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:22.039
something because it's it's gotten very via. It has gone well for him,

694
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:25.159
you know, and he's widely considered
one of the most influential and powerful people

695
00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:30.079
in college athletics just because he's the
a D at Alabama. And guess what,

696
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:32.199
he got a lot more power this
year. And guess who is another

697
00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:37.119
one of those Chris conn also very
well, let me finish now, he's

698
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:43.400
got a lot of power, you
know what, he's got more Yeah.

699
00:48:43.800 --> 00:48:46.440
Wow, there's one less guy who's
got more power than him. At Alabama

700
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:52.639
is more or less what we're talking
about. So good. Good for Greg

701
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:54.920
Burning and the Obama I mean,
it's funny how how we kind of look

702
00:48:55.000 --> 00:49:00.719
back at the U A Best buses
and we talked to UH to UH yesterday

703
00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:07.119
about it. How Arizona's non conference
schedule was easier than the PAC twelve conference

704
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:09.000
schedule. You would have never said
that one. You never would have said

705
00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:14.000
that before the year. Wait,
that the non conference schedule was easy.

706
00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:16.599
Oh, in terms of wins,
right than they Well, I wouldn't say

707
00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:21.760
it was easier. I would say
that they handled it better. You well,

708
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:25.679
in retrospect. But if I asked
you this in October thirtieth, you

709
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:29.039
know they can lose more games in
the non conference. Yeah, yeah,

710
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:30.559
No, I hear what you're saying. I understand what you're saying. But

711
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:36.239
what I'm saying is it wasn't.
I wouldn't call it easier. I would

712
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:39.360
just say that, you know,
they lay better and won more games that

713
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:43.760
you wouldn't expect me to win.
They in their non conference season, they

714
00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:47.480
didn't lose to anybody as bad as
the conference scenes that they lost well,

715
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:50.599
right, And I guess that's what
you're saying. Yeah, you know,

716
00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:55.519
yeah, and that which was happy, which was do you think if they

717
00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:59.239
were the number one seed, if
they would have happened to get it.

718
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:02.480
I don't believe this. Things would
have done better. No, neither to

719
00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:06.320
do it wouldn't matter, neither do. They were gonna lose. They were

720
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:08.559
gonna lose in the sweet sixteen to
somebody if they if they were gonna play

721
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:12.840
like that in the sweet sixteen,
so and so, who knows what the

722
00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:15.920
circumstances are, right, maybe they
don't have as bad a game if they're

723
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:19.400
playing a different opponent. But whatever
it was, they didn't lose because of

724
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:22.199
Clemson. No, they lost because
of them. There was no question.

725
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:25.639
They played Alabama again, probably would
have been right. Arizona lost because of

726
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:30.320
Arizona. Clemson is a team that
they could have and should have handled,

727
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:35.679
and they didn't because they played so
bad and they didn't even play back.

728
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:39.000
They shot bad. They just shot
bad, and they and they defended badly

729
00:50:39.119 --> 00:50:43.079
in the final mass Yeah oh well
yeah, but I mean, you know,

730
00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:46.119
if you're making, you know,
the three pointers that you're normally making,

731
00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:51.079
you're winning that game by ten,
twelve, fifteen points. But they

732
00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:53.920
didn't. And that's what happens.
And if you do that in the NCAA

733
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:57.639
tournament, you lose and that's what
they get. Well, you can say

734
00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:00.440
that to North Carolina, everybody.
You could say that a few of the

735
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:06.639
teams. You're, Creighton, Marquette, Marquette was a two seed, Houston,

736
00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:08.840
you know, all those tennessee all
those teams, and said, all

737
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:13.000
we had to do is play to
our ability, and we went. Let

738
00:51:13.039 --> 00:51:16.639
me ask you this. This might
be crazy, So I can kind of

739
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:21.320
say this, No, I don't
want to say it, because well,

740
00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:24.000
I traveled with the I traveled for
a reason. I had a book deal,

741
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:28.199
going book deal if they win and
I do it, and that's why

742
00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:32.239
I I already had it done.
At least we're the puncture is. Already

743
00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:36.119
were already get a work out some
details. So it didn't happen. So

744
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:38.840
that crushed me. So I premise
that by saying this to you, your

745
00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:45.360
dad had his his uh, his
goal of reaching to the to the rose

746
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:49.440
bull. It didn't happen in his
lifetime. In your lifetime, you think

747
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:52.880
you're gonna win a national title,
a national team and in basketball sketball,

748
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:57.559
I do what gives you that because
I'm hoping to live in another different years,

749
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:04.320
so they'll win with the next twenty
years. Yeah, I think I

750
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:07.119
wouldn't. I'm not going to predict
that they will, but I wouldn't be

751
00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:10.199
shocked if they wouldn't winning the next
That's not a fun evaluation. So well,

752
00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:12.920
you said, yeah, I think
they I think they should win one

753
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:16.440
in the next five years. I
really do the right Steve, they're knocking

754
00:52:16.519 --> 00:52:20.320
on the door. They just you
know, is it the right door.

755
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:27.239
I don't know, but but I
think Tommy's I think Tommy's program is because

756
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:30.519
look these last two years, you
can't say he had Sean Miller's guys.

757
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:32.679
No, no, no, right, So he's coaching these guys, he's

758
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:37.239
he's putting these teams together and they're
really good. Sure, And you know,

759
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:42.440
I got into debate with my Sundaday
at lunch because we Wednesday group.

760
00:52:42.679 --> 00:52:45.920
Yeah, well, I said,
I said, I said, in the

761
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:49.840
end, I don't think they were
good enough to win a national championship.

762
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.480
I don't think that they were going
to beat Purdue or Yukon. There's no

763
00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:54.920
questions. And he said, I
think they could have. And I said,

764
00:52:55.039 --> 00:52:58.920
I don't think they were going And
then we got into a okay,

765
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:01.199
out of ten times many games would
they win? And he and he said

766
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:04.920
it for you, He said,
I think we play we I think Arizona

767
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:07.239
plays you cont ten times, Arizona
wins three. That's my number. And

768
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:12.320
the number with Purdue is probably about
the same. Maybe four, certainly not

769
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:15.199
five. You're not gonna split with
two. Even Alabama that could have been

770
00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:19.519
six to four. Yeah, so
so you know, but I said,

771
00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:23.320
what we're seeing now the two teams
were seeing up there, the Yukon of

772
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:27.480
Purdue teams that were seeing up there. I don't see how Arizona would have

773
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:29.840
beat either one of those teams.
So I don't think they were going to

774
00:53:29.880 --> 00:53:32.039
win the national championship this year.
Now. Were they good enough to get

775
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:36.719
to the final four? Absolutely one
good enough to get to the final four.

776
00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:38.400
They could have gotten to the final
four. And I know that's sort

777
00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:42.639
of the goal, you know,
you you worry that when they get to

778
00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:45.039
a final four, everybody days of
difference. Oh we got to the final

779
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:47.480
four and then they don't finish of
course, But you know what, that's

780
00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:52.039
the funny thing about Arizona basketball.
They they get pastor vershon, what do

781
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:55.599
they do excel, right, excel, and then they win the next game,

782
00:53:55.639 --> 00:53:59.719
they exhale again, that's what this
program has come to. And then

783
00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:02.519
you're saying they get to the final
four and they exhale because that's the next

784
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:06.760
that's the next level. They haven't
been there in forever, So they're doing

785
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:10.360
for a program that's that's built or
at least thinks of themselves as being very

786
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:14.760
very good. And you're exhaling after
every win. Yeah, but teams,

787
00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:17.280
but programs been produced been doing that. Yeah, but they don't have they

788
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:21.800
don't have the success of Arizona,
I know. But the point that you

789
00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:23.800
know they haven't been there. Get
they came in as another number one seed

790
00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:27.000
and people were waiting for them to
lose. Again, they were waiting for

791
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:30.400
themselves to lose. Sure, at
least their fans. Yeah, sure of

792
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:31.639
course, but but they were pretty
good. Yeah, they haven't been to

793
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:35.920
the final four in nineteen eighty I
know that Joe, Barry Carroll and Louke

794
00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:38.079
that's what the year Loot was there
with Taiowa. Yeah no, but but

795
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:42.880
but but but my point being that
there are some programs who have a history

796
00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:46.840
that when the NCAA tournament rolls around. It's nerve wracking no matter what.

797
00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:52.800
Well, of course, of course, program a Yukon is not right.

798
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:54.559
The Yukon gets into a tournament with
a team and they go out in there

799
00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:57.760
and kick the mass, right,
you know, I think that's what and

800
00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:00.880
that's what Sean, that's what the
me wants that to happen. Let a

801
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:06.960
rip go play. You don't have
fun and the guys don't get Who's another

802
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:10.320
program that's become that It wasn't like
that. Kentucky. Oh yeah, Kentucky's

803
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:15.199
like their fans are going to be
on edge until you know, they win

804
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:19.039
in their first round game and move
on. Sore. North Carolina's eventually going

805
00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:22.800
to become that school to Duke,
maybe too because look at look at Duke.

806
00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:28.199
Yeah, it's another birthright that hasn't
really come to fruition right exactly.

807
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:30.119
And they had Williamson, they had
all these great plays. Yeah, so

808
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:32.880
you know, and it's okay,
it's kind of the way it is for

809
00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:37.440
teams you get into the tournament.
What let me let me say it this

810
00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:43.039
way for teams like Arizona, Duke, Kentucky, Michigan State, Yukon.

811
00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:49.639
Uh, you know, Whoever,
when the expectation becomes or now, when

812
00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:52.519
the expectation, when you're defined by
how you do in the NCAA tournament,

813
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:58.639
that's when it gets nerve wracking for
them because the intent that the expectation is

814
00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:01.079
to, you know, do well
in the NCAA tournament, whether it's get

815
00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:06.400
to a Final four or win a
national championship. Those programs are the ones

816
00:56:06.440 --> 00:56:10.880
that are most nervous when the tournament
starts because of that expectation. Does does

817
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:16.599
that expectation? Even they don't.
Before we go, we had about less

818
00:56:16.599 --> 00:56:21.000
minute. I talked to him some
of my guys and I've said this all

819
00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:22.880
along. I've covered this team for
thirty some years now. The reason they

820
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:28.679
won in ninety seven is there were
no expectations exactly, and they played free

821
00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:30.760
willing and they just played exactly.
They just played. And then when the

822
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:35.239
pressure gets on it to you guys
a year later, yep, a year

823
00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:37.360
later, a year later. People
don't understand the meaning of all that.

824
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:40.880
But it's get on the court,
man, get on the court. Feel

825
00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:45.480
it. It's the number one thing
Arizona can played loosely if they just decided

826
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:46.239
let's go on, you know,
I mean, you've been you've been at

827
00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:50.079
all of them. I remember being
on the court at in the in the

828
00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:52.800
Elite eight, I mean in sweet
sixteen when they lost his Xavier. You

829
00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:58.760
could feel the tension with Arizona,
especially in the last minutes. You could

830
00:56:58.800 --> 00:57:00.840
feel it. Okay, we're gonna
go. All right, we do have

831
00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:02.679
to go, so we're gonna take
a break. Breaking news coming right up.
