The expectation is that Kansas State 44 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,759 at Kansas State is that there they target callin Klein 45 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,000 as the next coach. For sources, there's been no deal 46 00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,599 in place, but there's mutual interest for Klein to return 47 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,599 to his alma mater. 48 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,879 Speaker 4: So Chris Climban. 49 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 5: Stepping down as the head coach for the Kansas State Wildcats. 50 00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:52,199 Over his seven year tenure, they were fifty four and 51 00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:56,719 thirty four, okay, and this season was a tough one 52 00:02:56,719 --> 00:03:01,000 for him, obviously not the ideal exon. They went six 53 00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:04,879 and six crazy. Since twenty nineteen, they've gone eight and five. 54 00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:06,960 They had a COVID year in which they didn't give 55 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,719 Bo eligible. They were four and six, eight and five 56 00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:12,120 in twenty twenty one, ten and four in twenty twenty two, 57 00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:14,000 nine and four in twenty twenty three, nine and four 58 00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:17,159 in twenty twenty four, and six and six in twenty 59 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,759 twenty five. What is going on here? How is it 60 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,960 that he has he has stepped down? Like I do you? 61 00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:28,039 I don't know if you saw the the emotional state 62 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,240 that coach Cleman was in after the loss. 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 4: To Utah at Rice Echo Stadium. 64 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 5: That one hurt and I believe the ad came in 65 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:41,039 postgame and told him whispered to say, Hey, you're our guy. 66 00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:46,800 Don't worry, You're our guy. Okay, fifty one to forty seven. 67 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,560 That was a heartbreaking one on the road versus a 68 00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:52,039 top twelve team at the time. 69 00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 4: Utah. You know, look, I'm glad Utah won. I'm glad 70 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,280 Utah won, no. 71 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 5: Doubt about it because that helps Bwayu's resident, it helps cougarnation, 72 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:02,000 et cetera. 73 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:04,719 Speaker 4: But man, that that hurt. 74 00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 5: They ended up getting both eligible this last week versus Colorado, 75 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,879 they beat the Bops twenty four to fourteen. They beat 76 00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:14,319 Oklahoma State earlier this season fourteen to six. It wasn't 77 00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:16,079 a It was a close one, though. They lost to 78 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,399 Texas X forty three to twenty on November first. They 79 00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,240 got wins against Kansas forty two to seventeen and the 80 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:28,160 TC hornfornt They ended the season Okay on a four 81 00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:33,439 and two versus a pretty difficult schedule, a very difficult schedule, 82 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,560 and they lost by four points to the Utes. 83 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 4: Sadden saddening. Just a lot of these games. 84 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,959 Speaker 5: They lost to Baylor by by one point thirty five 85 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,000 to thirty four. They lost to the Wildcats twenty three seventeen, 86 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,920 they lost the Army twenty four to twenty one, and 87 00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:51,759 they lost to Iowa State twenty four to twenty one. 88 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,240 That's that's insane. Their margins in these losses skin of 89 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,439 their teeth. You know, they their opponents got by by 90 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,279 the skin of their teeth. Guys, I feel bad for 91 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,360 Chris Conney. He's a phenomenal coach. We caught up with 92 00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:08,240 him at Big twelve media days and I was just 93 00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:12,560 extremely impressed by him. This college football world is wearing 94 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:18,439 out the good ones, the good ones of college football. 95 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,879 Speaker 4: I'm telling you, sad day in Big twelve football. Anyway. 96 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 5: I do want to get some sound Colleini Stockey post 97 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,160 game our post deals sound. 98 00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:28,439 Speaker 4: I keep. 99 00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 5: I want to call a post game post deal sound 100 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,480 from yesterday. He was alongside Bryan Santiago. Let's hear what 101 00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,240 he asked to say to Kugarnation. 102 00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:38,199 Speaker 1: How hard was. 103 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 4: You see? 104 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 6: I just really never. I mean, I've been here a 105 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,000 while and for ten years, I've had a lot of 106 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,199 people that have been interested in talking, and I think 107 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,439 that a lot of them have been aggressive, and it's 108 00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:03,360 one of those more it's where you kind of for me, 109 00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:06,040 it's It's like I never really thought about leaving ever, 110 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,519 you know, And but I'm also competitor and I want 111 00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:14,040 to be able to take care of people. And this 112 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,800 is just one of those moments where I felt like, 113 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,600 you know, us being in the Big twelve, if we can, 114 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,560 if we can make the the right moves, and I 115 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,079 don't really need to do this anywhere else. I can 116 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,759 do it here. And I feel like we've got some 117 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,600 great momentum, you know. And I want to keep focused 118 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:34,759 on the culture but really really tough, but not really 119 00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:36,839 that tough either, you know. So I think for me 120 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,120 it was I don't know, after after people start talking 121 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,399 about it, it was. I talked about the love bombings 122 00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:48,720 like it was an amazing feeling of appreciation from everybody. 123 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,519 I don't know how you can leave that, man, I 124 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,439 also know how you can walk away from it, you know. 125 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,000 And it's not really about the money, but there is 126 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,839 an opportunity for me to take care of my players 127 00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:02,480 and my staff and that make sure that we're all 128 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,879 headed the right direction what we want to accomplish. It's 129 00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:07,439 been our third year in the Big twelve. I think 130 00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:09,639 I feel like we've made some really cool moves and 131 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,560 We're in a place now that we've never been before. 132 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,160 But I think we can really accomplish a lot of things, 133 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,680 especially with Brian Santiago as as our a d we 134 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,279 can be aggressive and get after some things and be 135 00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:22,759 the best we can not on the not just on 136 00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:26,160 the field, but also off the field. That I don't 137 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,920 know if I can answer that right by saying it 138 00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:38,199 was it was rough, but also easy. 139 00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: A deeper investment. 140 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,199 Speaker 3: Well investment in first and foremost are our head coach. 141 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,240 You want to make sure that your head coach feels valued. 142 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,639 But like I mentioned before, Colony is totally committed to 143 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,839 building a program that's that is not only championship driven, 144 00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:05,199 but to do it the byu WI. So his focus 145 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:07,680 was making sure that we made an investment in his 146 00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:12,000 coaching staff, make an investment in the players, to make 147 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,759 sure that we give him the resources he needs. But 148 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,120 he wants it spread over the whole program. And if 149 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,839 you're gonna chase greatness and do it in a unique way, 150 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,920 you have to be invested all the way. Because one 151 00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:27,560 of the things that we're committed to is that we're 152 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,639 climbing the mountain. We're chasing greatness. We're doing it the 153 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,000 byu w A and if we're going to sustain it. 154 00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:39,320 We're interested in the long game and the long term 155 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,120 sustainability of our program. We're not just trying to win 156 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:47,480 a few games for now. Last I checked, and I've 157 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,320 said this a few times, a lot of people talk 158 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,200 about our competitive juices and how they flow. The last 159 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,159 seven or eight months since I've been named the AD, 160 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,440 I haven't had anybody call me or email me and say, hey, 161 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:05,279 can you guys mediocre. Everybody is interested Kugarnation everywhere in 162 00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:08,120 the world is interested in what's going on. We just 163 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,919 found out the last three or four days, we've literally 164 00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:14,360 heard from people all across the world of how invested 165 00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:17,000 they are. And then their message is, if you're going 166 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,120 to chase greatness like this, if you're going to invest 167 00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:24,480 in the program, the whole program, all the way, facilities included, 168 00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:27,759 we are driven to have our facilities be second to none. 169 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,000 If you're going to invest in the whole program, We're 170 00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:33,320 in Kugarnation all across the world. We're in let us 171 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,600 know what you need. And that's been super heartwarming. And 172 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,159 I see people even in this room the last few 173 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,639 days that have just sent clear messages. We're all in 174 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:51,000 for this program. 175 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,919 Speaker 5: All in for this program. We do not want to 176 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:51,679 be mediocre.

The trajectory 313 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,159 is on fire. I think that the players are, you know, 314 00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:32,159 more important than the players are. Kwanne's the guy that 315 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,159 people can really buy into. The players absolutely love him. 316 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,960 And what people don't understand is that's one of the 317 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,960 keys of being great head coach, right is having the 318 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,159 respect and the love of your players. Because Klowney's not 319 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,519 doing all those x's and o's. He's not the guy 320 00:16:46,559 --> 00:16:49,639 who's coaching the backers or the back end or the 321 00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:54,799 O line. It's he's the guy who who gives brings belief. 322 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,440 The coaches bring technical, technical and game planning, but he 323 00:16:58,519 --> 00:17:01,279 brings the belief. And that's one of the things that 324 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,839 b Yu just really really has to be so grateful 325 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,079 for is that Kalani is a guy who can make 326 00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:11,279 kids believe and uh and that's that's more than has 327 00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:14,039 to battle in today's game, right, he can bring in 328 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,799 portal portal guys and make them believe and make them 329 00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:21,119 buy in to his culture and what BYU stands for. So, uh, 330 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,279 the trajectory is. I mean, there's hot as fish reefs. Fish. 331 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,599 Greece is very hot, right, any type of Greece is hot, 332 00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:31,000 and that's how hot b YU is. Right now, they're 333 00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:33,799 doing great things and I'm interested to see, uh what 334 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,920 else happens. I mean, I think they're they're making some 335 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,920 pretty aggressive moves and obviously, you know a lot of 336 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,519 people will say what they want to about the a 337 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,000 D but he's serious about winning.

He's tough, he's physical, and he's super athletic. 362 00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:13,119 So I think he's there that he's gonna be really 363 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,759 good on the offensive line. Legend Lasker is an absolute 364 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,119 game breaking receiver, probably one of the better receivers that 365 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,000 b YU has ever signed. In the last ten years. 366 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,799 Out of high school, the Legend has a lot of skill. 367 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,680 He's long, he's sass, understands the game really well. He 368 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,559 can take the top off. So I think legend is used. 369 00:19:35,599 --> 00:19:39,000 But I'll be honest, we didn't talk about Rider because 370 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,400 it's not one under this class with the mission. But 371 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,599 I'll be honest with you, the most dangerous player in 372 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,039 this group, the most electric player in this group is 373 00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:51,279 going to be the Echo Kid. He is a problem. 374 00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:53,480 He can beat you out of the backfield, he can 375 00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:56,279 beat you running the ball. He's gonna be one. I 376 00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:57,799 have a feeling he's going to be a b YU 377 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,680 favor and a b y U great. 378 00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 5: Like you know, from a rating standpoint, he's not the 379 00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:06,599 highest rated guy. Uh you know, he's actually in this 380 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,440 class the lowest rated prospect that he signed with the Coogs. 381 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: He's the lowest rated cross back. And I'll it in 382 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,079 my opinion, is he will then he will be a 383 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,440 Cougar grade. That's how good the kid is. The rating 384 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,599 system is an interesting system. Obviously, I'm in that system 385 00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:26,960 pretty soon. I'm going to start Alpha alpha grading grading 386 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,680 process that will be a little bit more fair because 387 00:20:30,839 --> 00:20:34,640 he's an underrated player and he's perfect for what BAU does. 388 00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:37,319 But he can tote the rock and I expect him 389 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,480 to play next year. He will play. 390 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 4: He's that good crazy times. 391 00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:47,559 Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a report that came out regarding Ryder Lions. 392 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,240 This is from Brandon Huffan BA for Star committed Rider 393 00:20:50,279 --> 00:20:53,599 Lions unlikely to sign with the Koogs on signing day, 394 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,640 and he did mention though he was going to sign 395 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,519 around this time. He had tweeted it out a little 396 00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:04,079 bit ago. What's the ladiest on writer lines where he stands, Just. 397 00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:05,799 Speaker 1: A few things to work out. I'm not going to 398 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,680 get too too far into it, but things are fine, 399 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,000 perfectly good, nothing to worry about. Just remember it as 400 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,920 the big business and there were just a few things 401 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,920 that that we're just getting fixed and cleaned up and 402 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,200 writing around. Some things to do, but nothing to fret about. 403 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:27,039 Speaker 5: So no, nothing to get overly anxious about. He he'll 404 00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:28,680 be signing with b YU today. 405 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 4: You think. 406 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,759 Speaker 1: I don't want to get into it too much, but 407 00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:37,319 I will tell you will Snowden expects writer to sign 408 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,640 with b AU today, Okay, but I also expect that 409 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,519 the deal will be done fully no later than Friday, 410 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,160 So I'm expecting the signature. Everything looks good and They're 411 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,279 just things that have to be done in this situation. 412 00:21:53,839 --> 00:21:56,680 And I and that's all I'm gonna say. Everything is 413 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,079 good more than good. 414 00:21:58,519 --> 00:22:00,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, the payment. 415 00:22:01,079 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 5: This is a new era of college college football, right, 416 00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:09,720 and you know you have the traditional methodologies of like 417 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,640 letter of intent. Right, there's a letter intent, there's a commitment, 418 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,720 there's like official offers that go out in the process, 419 00:22:16,839 --> 00:22:20,920 and then letter of intent that is sent in. And 420 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,759 then now you also have some contractual obligations that are 421 00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:28,160 in place too, whether if that's to the collective, it's 422 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:33,599 to the school, and you know, agents and agencies are involved. 423 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,240 Like there's a lot of moving parts here, and it 424 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,480 can get pretty complicated. 425 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,319 Speaker 4: It can be a pretty complicated process. 426 00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:43,519 Speaker 1: Yes for sure. But but what people need to know 427 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,400 is as Wider Lions wants to be a bay Vukougar. 428 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,480 That's why he committed to be by you, and I 429 00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:53,400 expect him to be signing his LETTERATIP and we'll see 430 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,680 how it goes. But it's just a big business and 431 00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:58,440 you know how there's a lot, like you said, that 432 00:22:58,599 --> 00:23:01,720 goes on with it. So no, I do not think 433 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,880 anyone needs to be worried that it's not fined yet. 434 00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:05,640 Because there's a lot that goes into it. 435 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 5: We got Will Snowden, owner Operative Alpha Recruits, former BYU 436 00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:15,000 football player running back here on your Utah ESPN Radio network. 437 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,359 You mentioned a few of these guys, right, I talk 438 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,920 about former BYU greats, former BYU Cougar football players, and 439 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,960 I see a few legacy players on this signing sheet. 440 00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:30,279 How about Justice Braithwait, what do you know about Rinaldo 441 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,559 Braithwaite's young man that he's built there in Gilbert, Arizona. 442 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,559 Speaker 1: Well, you know, I get to tip to talk to 443 00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:43,400 coach gil for quite a bit about Renaldo's young boy, 444 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,400 and he's supposed to have all the goods. I'll be 445 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,599 honest that I've been all to evaluate him as closely 446 00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:51,680 as some of the kids. But Gennaro has guaranteed me 447 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,960 that he has everything that he's looking for, that they're 448 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,799 looking for, and that he's a baller. And I want 449 00:23:57,799 --> 00:24:00,799 to be clear, I'm not the class is ridiculu. I'm 450 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:03,680 just telling you I'm most high on Ika. And that's funny. 451 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,400 He's the lowest rated player. Obviously, you have you have 452 00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:09,920 all of these guys out here who are high star 453 00:24:10,039 --> 00:24:12,480 rated kids and they can ball and they can all ball. 454 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,759 My money, though, is and that's without righter lines being 455 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,640 signed yet. My money is on that Heka is going 456 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,519 to be a very very very special player in Royal Blue. 457 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,480 Very special. I think he I'm trying to think of 458 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,160 who I would compare him to. I probably would say 459 00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:31,519 he has a little bit of Ron Jacobs in him, 460 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,920 a little bit of Ronnie Jenkins in him, and a 461 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,440 lot of Ron and a lot of Reno Mahi in him. 462 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,319 Speaker 4: I like that combo. 463 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 5: That sounds like that sounds almost too good to be true, 464 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,119 that that dynamic duo. 465 00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: I want you fired up about the kid. I want 466 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,400 to I want to state fired up about him. But 467 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,920 then you've got the kid coming down from Saint George, 468 00:24:54,319 --> 00:24:58,240 A big special tight end. I mean, I mean, they've 469 00:24:58,279 --> 00:25:00,400 got this class is really put together, been a top 470 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,480 twenty class at BUYU. 471 00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:07,599 Speaker 5: That's a lot, no doubt about it. It's obviously trending 472 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,920 in the right direction the group. Also, I mean, you've 473 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,680 got some good skilled players, right, but you have some 474 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,400 you got two four star tight ends. You have Bobmlitala, 475 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,319 who could play on either side of the ball and 476 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,119 be a very effective, very disruptive whether it's guard or 477 00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:31,039 tackle on the offensives side of the ball, or defensive 478 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,079 end or d tackle and the defenside of the ball. 479 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,200 Who's maybe a player locally like I look at Moala 480 00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:41,880 for instance, he was tremendous in the on the back 481 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,759 end of the season for orum Utah. I think if 482 00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:48,119 you haven't watched him Cougarnation, you got to get to 483 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,400 know Mowala. Who's really stood out to you? Maybe as 484 00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:54,400 from the local prospects. I know you mentioned Devon, anybody 485 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,799 else we can highlight. 486 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,759 Speaker 1: Well, really I talked about Bot. I've got a chance 487 00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:01,799 to watch Bot a lot, right, He's right in my area, 488 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,200 and and he is a kid, like you said, he 489 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,319 could play either side of the ball. His real money 490 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,960 is on the offensive line. He's like, he's just super 491 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,960 physical and moves really well. Uh plays a good pad 492 00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:16,240 level and and get with c. J. Woods, I mean 493 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,240 it was just one of the best to do it. 494 00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:20,240 He does a great job up front with the with 495 00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:22,599 the old line, and he's gonna make Bot super special. 496 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,759 It's too hard to really highlight just one of these guys. 497 00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:29,440 They're they're their rank and say at all these are 498 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,200 the best, These are some of the best prospects in 499 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,799 the country, and b y U has tied them up 500 00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:37,440 and tied them up early, did an exceptional job recruiting them. 501 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,200 So the one that I know best is bought in 502 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,200 the trench and I'm gonna so I'm gonna kind of 503 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,759 stick with him. The young man from Orum, he did. 504 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,279 He came on really strong late, but I have not 505 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,920 watched as much film on him as I have on BOT, 506 00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:52,799 So I want to I want to stay there. Just 507 00:26:52,839 --> 00:26:55,079 like I'm saying as far as the skilled players, I 508 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,519 really think that that he could just he has every 509 00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:00,799 tool you could look for. And then the Glass kid 510 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,759 is an absolute freak. I mean, the whole the whole 511 00:27:03,799 --> 00:27:07,799 class offensively is super dangerous. It's going to be fun 512 00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:08,240 to watch. 513 00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:10,519 Speaker 5: Well, I want to get your reaction to the College 514 00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:11,759 Football Playoff Committee. 515 00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 4: BYU's at eleven. 516 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 5: They've just been sitting at eleven despite winning and winning 517 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,119 I think with some style points as well. 518 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 4: On the back end of the schedule. 519 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 5: Utah was right behind them, and they've won their football games, 520 00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:26,200 but apparently they haven't won by the margin that the 521 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,839 College FOOTBA Playoff Committee has wanted, and they've moved to 522 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:29,920 number fifteen. 523 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 4: Why is it. 524 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,519 Speaker 5: What's your theory on why either byu Utah the Big 525 00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:41,720 twelve is maybe disrespected. Texas Tech is at four, which 526 00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:44,400 is fine. I think everyone you know agrees with maybe 527 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,279 their slot. But why is b YU on the outside 528 00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:50,000 looking in and why the disrespect for Utah over the 529 00:27:50,079 --> 00:27:50,960 last few weeks. 530 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: Well, well, what I'll look at there's a few things. Obviously, 531 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,920 I mean everyone understands that everyone that the most respected football, 532 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,000 the most respected, whether it's right or wrong, is played 533 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,480 in the Big Ten and the SEC and then Notre 534 00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:11,920 Dame by themselves, right, you have SEC, Big Ten, no 535 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,920 to day. So when you when you look at it, 536 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,839 there's just levels to how people see college football. And 537 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,839 another thing is they people don't know this, but I 538 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,440 really do think they get involved with certain things like 539 00:28:24,799 --> 00:28:28,200 how many star what is what are the recruiting classes 540 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,599 that they have brought in over the last three or 541 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,440 four years? What is the star power is? This is 542 00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:37,480 just big business. So I think the disrespect comes for 543 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:39,519 the Big twelve because they're not in the Big ten. 544 00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:41,240 It's not the Big it's not the Big ten or 545 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:46,319 the SEC. But the disrespect for byu Utah. They can 546 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,039 have a they can be frustrated, but at the end 547 00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:50,799 of the day, you do need to be in the 548 00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:53,240 hunt for a conference championship, particularly if you're not in 549 00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:55,680 the Big ten or the SEC. So I don't feel 550 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,799 like the disrespect is the same at Utah. I don't 551 00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:01,319 think they're probably the fifteenth ranked team. But at the 552 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,359 end of the day, you've got to win the games. 553 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,799 And what BYU has done is they've won every game 554 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,759 that's really mattered, lost one to the fourth ranked team 555 00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:12,000 in the country, who arguably could be the best team 556 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,720 in the country, and they get a chance to rematch 557 00:29:13,759 --> 00:29:17,559 them on Saturday. But like I agree with agree with 558 00:29:17,599 --> 00:29:20,599 everyone saying b YU should be in the Big twelve. 559 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,559 Is a very competitive league with four or five guys, 560 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,960 four or five teams in the top twenty five. It's 561 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,920 it's pretty dang disrespectful. But at the end of the day, 562 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,680 b YU will come out on Saturday, They're going to 563 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,920 give their best shot. They're going to play tough, and 564 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,240 regardless win or lose, BYU has to come out and 565 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,200 play tough and show that they really really belong and 566 00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:43,799 they are they and they aren't to be walked over, 567 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,680 and those are the things that they look at like, hey, 568 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,799 let's look at the at the what are the names 569 00:29:49,839 --> 00:29:53,559 on these rosters that make us say we want them in? 570 00:29:54,079 --> 00:29:55,880 And I think that's one of the biggest things that 571 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,920 they look at and say, yeah, you know how many 572 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,519 how many draftball guys are going to do that team. 573 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,319 All of those things are coming into play when they 574 00:30:03,359 --> 00:30:06,920 really should not come into play. With chasing championships, with 575 00:30:07,079 --> 00:30:10,240 chasing the college football playoffs, you have a job to do. 576 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,640 Go win games. Number one, win games, and that's a 577 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,359 b why you have done nothing but win And they've 578 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,359 done it for two years. So the disrespect is really 579 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,759 ridiculous because it's not like they're to fly by all 580 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:24,559 of a sudden they had a great year. They're coming 581 00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:26,200 off of they they're coming off of the season that 582 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,759 they want eleven games. 583 00:30:28,319 --> 00:30:29,359 Speaker 4: Yep, yep. 584 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,039 Speaker 5: It's crazy, man, crazy times in the college football chaotic 585 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,960 world that we're living in right now, and still dominoes 586 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,599 are falling. Kind of find it interesting Chris Cleman just 587 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:46,200 step down at Kansas State Heartline gets the job at USF. 588 00:30:47,799 --> 00:30:49,839 I'm trying to think that there's not that many job 589 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:55,960 openings left for the head coaching vacancies. Do you foresee 590 00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:01,599 any movement on BYU's staff right now. Klinie obviously got 591 00:31:01,599 --> 00:31:04,400 the extension that means probably pay raisers for him, his staff, 592 00:31:04,839 --> 00:31:07,559 and obviously his players. Do you feel like the crew, 593 00:31:08,119 --> 00:31:12,640 the Cougar crew right now in Provo stick together through 594 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,480 the offseason and into twenty twenty six? 595 00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 4: There you go, Ben, I know it's a tough one, man. 596 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,400 It's a tough one. Man. I was just thinking about it, 597 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,799 you know what I mean. I was like pondering. 598 00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 5: I'm like, man, I want to believe, you know that 599 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,519 the Cougar crew is going to stick together. But with 600 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,880 so much success, it's hard not to be a little 601 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:44,759 bit pessimistic that guys will aspire to new adventures, new challenges, 602 00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:47,240 new positions and all that. 603 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, new opportunities. 604 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: So I don't want to say I don't want to 605 00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:55,319 say this is not a yes or no question. I'll 606 00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:57,519 say this, I would not be surprised if there was 607 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,160 movement on the staff. Yeah, I mean that that just 608 00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:03,559 is what it is. The state of Utah has very 609 00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:06,559 good coaching and it's obvious you have the Brigham in 610 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,559 Cougars at eleven and one playing for a championship, and 611 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,720 the University of Utah at ten and two, one game 612 00:32:12,759 --> 00:32:17,119 out of the championships. So a lot of that has 613 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,680 to do with coaching, If you so, would I be 614 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,680 shocked if the Utah staff was a little different, I wouldn't. 615 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,559 Would I be shocked if the BYU staff was a 616 00:32:26,599 --> 00:32:30,480 little different, not at all, because there are opportunities out there. 617 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,200 There are head coaching jobs out there, and if you're 618 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,920 on it, there's two dcs in this state who have 619 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,599 the ability to be head coaches. One has already proven 620 00:32:39,599 --> 00:32:42,480 that it can be a great head coach, Jay Hill, 621 00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:45,880 And so I wouldn't be shocked if there is movement, 622 00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:48,400 but my fingers are crossed that there won't be. 623 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,519 Speaker 5: Love The breakdown is always alpha recruits. Will Snowden former 624 00:32:54,599 --> 00:32:59,319 b YU great, Yes, great, my guy running back and 625 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,720 probably should played some slot wide receiver in my opinion too, 626 00:33:01,759 --> 00:33:04,759 could have been really nasty out of that slot, coming 627 00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:06,880 out of the backfield, getting some one on one, some angles, 628 00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:09,000 some option routes for the Kougs. 629 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,799 Speaker 4: Well, that's really fortunate. 630 00:33:11,599 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: Justift real quickly before you say that, you got to 631 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,119 go out the tape. I've been in the slot before. 632 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,920 One of the things about Will Snowden. He was far 633 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,799 from a grade. He was a role player. Is great, 634 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,039 he could That's what. 635 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,839 Speaker 4: I'm saying, Bro.
