00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,520
only here been on you Utah ESPN Radio Network.

53
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so keep it locked in.

54
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,879
Speaker 3: We're gonna delve into every element of Cougar Nation Cougar

55
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,840
Sports today. Let's also welcome into the show, Brett always

56
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,199
bringing the.

57
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:48,879
Speaker 1: Hammer Hammertime show. What's up, Bro? I'm concerned.

58
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,439
Speaker 5: I don't like to start off just right off the

59
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:56,639
bat talking ball, but I'm concerned because I am checking

60
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:01,560
this two four seven boyu Cougar's college transfer port latest activity,

61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,280
like I checked my phone when I after I had

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,199
a date back in the day when I was in college.

63
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,400
Like I am refreshing this page as much as I

64
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,560
possibly can, and it is really concerning to me. So

65
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,960
I'm hoping that you know something that I don't, that

66
00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:18,599
maybe you know that two four seven system is broken

67
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,759
and that's why the messages aren't getting out to these

68
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,879
recruits to commit to BYU. But BYU is the only

69
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:28,680
team listed with zero incoming transfers of anyone in the

70
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:32,240
Big twelve. And maybe incoming transfers aren't that big of

71
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,479
a deal. That's why Boa is not that concerned about it.

72
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:37,960
Maybe people forgot that Bouh's a school. Maybe the text

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,120
messages aren't going through because there's no service in Utah.

74
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,879
I don't know what the irrational explanation is, but I

75
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,159
keep checking everybody else in the Big twelve, and everybody

76
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:49,159
else has trees or has presence under the tree except

77
00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:52,680
for BYU, And I don't really know how to rationalize this.

78
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what did we acquire last year? You know

79
00:03:57,719 --> 00:03:58,120
what I mean?

80
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,639
Speaker 3: Like, you acquired some guys, But did you acquire them

81
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,240
in January? Did you acquire them in February March? You

82
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,879
look at the timeline too, like it's not you know, Look,

83
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:14,879
there's some priority guys. They had smith Snowden on campus yesterday.

84
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,519
He's gonna be taking visits to a number of places,

85
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:21,639
including Michigan, probably.

86
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:24,319
Speaker 1: Oregon, and and a few others.

87
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,079
Speaker 3: He's already taken his towels out to coach Prime in Colorado.

88
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,800
Remember his dad is from Colorado. Will Snowden be why

89
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,839
you recruited him back in the nineties to come to Provo.

90
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,519
So like you are targeting individuals, right, but you you're right,

91
00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,759
you do get concerned when everybody else is having fun

92
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:48,959
and they all are opening up presents on their Christmas

93
00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:50,920
tree and you're like, wait, where's my presence?

94
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: What's going on? I feel like the best signees are

95
00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:58,560
the retention signings. Yesterday you got true.

96
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 3: You've got to celebrate Isaiah Glasger staying home, staying humble,

97
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,759
stay in hungry. That was a huzzah for Brigham. This

98
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:13,480
is type of day, you know what I mean? Oh yeah,

99
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,879
So I feel like the biggest gets have been the

100
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,240
retention announcements. So you can get hyped, you can get

101
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,560
elevated on that, you can get high on life, high

102
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,639
on Brigham that way, that's a present, it's a gift.

103
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: We gotta have gratitude here.

104
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: You have lost some players, but you haven't lost players

105
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:34,839
where you're.

106
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: Like, no, please, no.

107
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: The biggest Like I asked Cougar Nation, I said, hey,

108
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,319
which one of these guys hurts you the most that

109
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:52,639
you've lost Tavian Beasley Shangano, Sony Tuala, Tucker kellerher Iconacio Tupo,

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,279
let Meson Waller the third, McKay Hillstead, Marcus McKenzie, Don McKenzie,

111
00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:00,319
j Griffin.

112
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:02,079
Speaker 1: And le Mason Wallder third.

113
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: Most people said Lemson Walder third because they're like, hey,

114
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,680
he was a four star kid. We thought he could

115
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,079
be a great player for BYU, just that we needed

116
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:11,560
to develop him. In fact, we saw a lot of

117
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,519
highlights from him in fall camp. Yes, where he bawled out,

118
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,319
he played well. Uh, but for whatever reason, you know,

119
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:20,639
he's taking his talents elsewhere. We wish him luck to

120
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,199
six foot one, one hundred and ninety pound, he'll probably

121
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,920
be a red shirt freshman wherever he goes.

122
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,199
Speaker 1: But do you agree or disagree with me?

123
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,879
Speaker 3: Like, like we we have to have some like excitement

124
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,319
for the retention. It isn't BYU a developmental program. Isn't

125
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,319
BYU a retention program. The one year, okay, that we

126
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,000
really went aggressive in the portal, Like we picked up

127
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:50,399
a ton of players via the portal. Like I want

128
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:53,120
to say, like it just didn't work out as well.

129
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,759
It seems like there was a like an like there

130
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,839
was a lack of continuity. There was a lack of culture,

131
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:04,079
a lack of winning, and that's when you went five

132
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:09,839
and seven. Like the twenty twenty two transfer portal, class

133
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:15,079
was was pretty robust, pretty aggressive. I remember you got

134
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:18,800
gave Judy Lally, remember I think, actually that's when you

135
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,120
picked up Enich Nawahine.

136
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: We got Victor Evoka.

137
00:07:23,879 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: You know, there was a number of Chris Brooks, Houston Hamouli.

138
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,959
Speaker 1: I want to say there was.

139
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:36,399
Speaker 3: Kingsley Sulamatiya, like I remember adding a ton of players

140
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,360
via the portal and the following year and it was

141
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:41,120
your YR one Big twelve. So you have to have

142
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,360
a little caveat in little last. Hey you're one big

143
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:45,839
twelve making the transition. But we just weren't that good

144
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,959
eight and five prior to that. Right in twenty twenty

145
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,319
two in the portal, the transfer portal, anyway, I said, I.

146
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Don't want to, you know, go too higher, too low.

147
00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:01,199
Speaker 3: We picked up Bear Bachmeier right for the season, a

148
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,639
four star quarterback, and all was well. So I don't

149
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:07,079
want to have a knee jerk reaction, but I understand the

150
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,240
anxiety that some Cougar fans are feeling. They have what

151
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:13,639
I would deem is a little bit of.

152
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, uh, what's the term, you know, A

153
00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:24,360
little bit envy transfer portal envy.

154
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 5: It's not so much that I'm sitting here saying, what

155
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,439
is this coaching staff doing? We're missing this piece, that

156
00:08:29,519 --> 00:08:31,920
piece and the other piece that that's not my concern.

157
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,679
It's more of just, hey, we're in a P four

158
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:40,399
league now, shouldn't everyone want to come and jump ship

159
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,639
to come here, even if they're not necessarily we've gone

160
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,399
twelve and two and eleven and two concerns. That's really

161
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,000
my only like, hey, everybody else is getting sign these

162
00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:50,639
how come we're not getting signees?

163
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: But I am.

164
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 5: Grateful that you bring this up, like accepting gratitude in

165
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,960
the fact that, like, who did you really lose outside

166
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,080
of guys who graduated or didn't have eligibility with it,

167
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:06,480
and it is really really important. We cannot celebrate enough.

168
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,480
How crazy it is, frankly that Isaiah Glasker is coming back,

169
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:13,080
because I think we all assumed, like end of the season,

170
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:15,399
he's going to the league, and I think he could have.

171
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,320
I think there's an energy in the building with this

172
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:21,519
BYU football team of guys saying you guys realize we've

173
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:23,840
been snubbed from the playoffs twice.

174
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: Now we can run it back. We're good enough.

175
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 5: We all got a little get back in our systems

176
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,000
right now. I think that's like because I think LJ

177
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,759
could go to the league and play great. I think

178
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:38,360
Glasger could go to the league and play great.

179
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:38,919
Speaker 1: I don't know that.

180
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 5: It's they had bad seasons and so they're like, oh,

181
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,960
I gotta get a number of another one under the belt,

182
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,919
even though another one would certainly help. I think they're

183
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,480
coming back because I think there is a collective energy

184
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:51,519
in that building of these guys saying we've been snubbed.

185
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:53,840
We're not getting snubbed a third year in a row,

186
00:09:53,879 --> 00:09:55,759
and we are going to show everyone who we are.

187
00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:58,480
So I do think it's really important that we do

188
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,840
remember that. And again, he's not missing. They don't have

189
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:04,840
a massive hole on this team. It's just I guess

190
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,919
a little strange to me that everybody else has incoming

191
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,240
transfers and BYU doesn't.

192
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: So what makes you more concern?

193
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: My Poll of the day Number one that there's no

194
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
announcement signings commitments from the transfer portal. Number two, no

195
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,879
official announcement on new coaching staff members, Like which one

196
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,399
gets you a more anxiety field?

197
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: Right?

198
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: Like do we have our coaching staff in place? Did

199
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,919
we retain our coaching staff? Are they still being courted?

200
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:36,480
There's not many coaching staff vacancies still out there, by

201
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:39,120
the way, so I think you're pretty you pretty much

202
00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:43,120
know that you're retaining guys, but you're also going out

203
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:45,840
and you got to acquire a safety's coach, a qrnerbacks coach,

204
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,559
a quarterbacks coach, right, Like, that's that Those are the

205
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,840
job openings, the key job openings for BYU football right now.

206
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 5: I think you probably have to answer the coaching vacancies

207
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,960
or the just.

208
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: A head coach, Like there's some things there too, because.

209
00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:08,919
Speaker 5: To me, the reason that you may not have the

210
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,360
transfers is because you don't have the position coaches, and

211
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:15,399
so you have guys who say, I want to come here.

212
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:18,519
I like BYU, but I also want to know that

213
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,840
this guy who's recruiting hear the coach who's coming in

214
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,559
is officially.

215
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: There before I officially sign.

216
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,279
Speaker 5: And I think that's really valid, Like you can kind

217
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:29,440
of separate the whole defensive side of the ball with

218
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:32,440
that and say, well, nobody is going to commit to

219
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,679
BYU defensively until they know officially who it is that

220
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,000
their coordinator is going to be. And then you add

221
00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:41,039
on top of that that there's a couple position coaches

222
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,360
still flying around out there. But I just think it

223
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,919
reaffirms that the college football landscape is constantly changing, and

224
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,320
the way and the speed at which you could do

225
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:56,320
business in years past doesn't work anymore because coaches leave

226
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,159
right before the portal opens, and in order to get

227
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,080
guys in the you have to have those coaches locked down.

228
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,799
So it makes the calendar really interesting. But you just

229
00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:07,480
like it's one of those things that you just have

230
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:09,559
to get done. There's not really anywhere around it, so

231
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,120
I think you always gotta lock those coaches down before

232
00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:13,879
they can then lock the players down.

233
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: First things first, right, Uh so, uh, we're gonna delve

234
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,159
into this, guys.

235
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: Check out the rest of our ESPN the fans starting lineup.

00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,519

Speaker 1: We're gonna welcome in to the show.

239
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: Brandon Day, CEO of odeon Menswaere Cougar Sports Inside, talking.

240
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: Some college football at three oh five. You don't want

241
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:33,919
to miss that.

242
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,159
Speaker 3: We're gonna welcome in Tim Heey, voice of the Airs

243
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,600
on a Sun Devils at four oh five, Drake Tole

244
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:42,519
four thirty Big twelve College Football Insider, and then Matt

245
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,480
Brown uh at at five oh five representing extra points

246
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:49,639
so should be a star start of cash.

247
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: We may want to you know, who we need to

248
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,840
reach out to about this whole LJ.

249
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 3: Martin situation because we haven't heard in an official statement.

250
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,360
I think we're all like leaning positively, we're all leaning pragmatically,

251
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:04,480
we're all leading even hopefully that that LJ is coming back.

252
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: He's not leaving. But I thought.

253
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,279
Speaker 3: Jerem actually made a really good pitch on social about

254
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:14,759
why LJ should take his talents, bring his talents back

255
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,519
to UH to provo. So we'll maybe reach out to him,

256
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,600
to him we have a surprise guest with him, or

257
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:22,759
maybe we'll wait till tomorrow or the next day to

258
00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:25,039
get Jeremon to discuss that. But all that and more

259

282
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about Dante Bell. Who is

283
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,559
Dante Bell? And what does it matter?

284
00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:59,679
Speaker 3: As the we discussed yesterday, key position groups of interest

285
00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:04,039
via the portal. One of those key position I think

286
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,759
interest groups is the quarterback room.

287
00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: Why is that?

288
00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:12,279
Speaker 3: Well, what do you have currently in that BYU football

289
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,960
quarterback room? You lost McKay Hillstead, that one hurt shot

290
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,639
through the heart. As g Man likes to say, Uh,

291
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,720
McKay Hillstead taking his talents to the portal. We'll see

292
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,080
where he ends up. We wish him well. Once a Cougar,

293
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:31,759
always a kooper. G Man sings it out just like

294
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,559
that too. He's a huge fan of John bon Jovi. So,

295
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:39,879
like that one hurt, Trayson Borgae is still on the

296
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:45,279
roster behind board behind Bear Bachmeyer. Okay, so you're happy

297
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:48,279
about that, But then again, like Bear has not made

298
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:50,120
his I'm not leaving posts.

299
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: Are you at all concerned about that? That the side like?

300
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,919
Or is he still negotiating his contract at b YU.

301
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 5: I'll tell you this, The same day A Rod releases

302
00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:02,039
I'mrunning It Back will be the same day that Bear

303
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:02,919
releases that.

304
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,679
Speaker 1: I'm Running Back.

305
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,559
Speaker 5: And funny enough, coincidentally, that'll be the same day that

306
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:09,519
Hell for a Use is over and pigs fly. We're

307
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:12,600
never gonna see that because guess what if you said, hey,

308
00:16:12,799 --> 00:16:15,039
I'm sure the graphics team at Bulie is like, hey, Bear,

309
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,039
do you want us to make a running it back graphic?

310
00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:18,879
He's like, what are you talking about? They're like, you

311
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:21,440
know the players posting this on social media. People are

312
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,480
posting on social media that they're coming back. I thought

313
00:16:24,519 --> 00:16:26,080
I was just coming back to play football. I didn't

314
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,200
realize I had to tell everyone that I wasn't going

315
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,159
to the portal. That's when you'll see Bear Bachwire announced

316
00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:31,919
that he's coming back.

317
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: He's here to stay, folks. He's here, guys. He ain't

318
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,759
going anywhere.

319
00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:39,519
Speaker 3: He doesn't need to post anything on social media nowhere.

320
00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:42,960
Does he need the BYU social media specialist to post

321
00:16:43,039 --> 00:16:43,679
it for him.

322
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

323
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: The last time he did post on May third, twenty

324
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:52,799
twenty five, that he was committed to BYU.

325
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: That was his last post. That's auce was his last.

326
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,240
Now on Instagram.

327
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,559
Speaker 3: Now, these kiddos are not twitters really, they're not exers.

328
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:07,359
They're more in the Instagram game, the instaf fam game.

329
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: Right, So the last.

330
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: Time Bear Bachmeyer posted on Instagram was when I feel like.

331
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: It's pulling it up right now. Well, it may have

332
00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:18,759
been a shared one.

333
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 3: It was BYU Football oh yeah, that doesn't none of this,

334
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,039
none of this count None of this is originally from

335
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:28,119
Bear because because Bear just is being tagged in all.

336
00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 5: These Yeah, BYU is doing the work here, it's just

337
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:34,920
not this does not count as Bear posting on social media.

338
00:17:35,039 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: So when was the last time that Bear is that

339
00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:43,720
Murdoch Ford tagged Bear? Yeah?

340
00:17:43,839 --> 00:17:47,799
Speaker 3: I don't see any original content from Bear. Ah, No,

341
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,240
there is one. I found it. I think I found it.

342
00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:55,839
I think it was when he committed to the Tree Stanford.

343
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,599
That was June twenty third, two thousand, two twenty four.

344
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, he has.

345
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,559
Speaker 5: He did post May third, twenty twenty five when he

346
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:05,319
committed to BYU.

347
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,559
Speaker 1: He did also post that on Instagram. He did.

348
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 5: And then yeah he's here, and like I don't know

349
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,519
if he's doing like a Van's commercial or why he's

350
00:18:13,519 --> 00:18:15,119
all decked out in the all denum.

351
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, oh that was okay, okay, anyways, playing guitar

352
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,039
on stage he does, so he's not on social media

353
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,079
is what we're getting at. And like, when you really

354
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,319
break that down for what it's worth, you bring up

355
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,119
a fantastic point.

356
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: I have never seen.

357
00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 3: Two personalities that mesh as well as a rod and

358
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:47,640
Bear Bachmeier right, like they just fit. They the puzzle

359
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:55,119
pieces fit together perfectly. They are like minded, like just

360
00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:00,720
just connected souls, football souls. They are very akin to

361
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:04,480
each other in how they operate. They're not social media guys.

362
00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:09,920
They ain't about the pop circumstance and the social media game. Nah,

363
00:19:10,039 --> 00:19:13,480
we just we just we're just football junkies. You know,

364
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,640
we play Settlers of Catan, you.

365
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: Know what I mean. The bespectacled booth strategist. You know,

366
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,440
he ain't. He ain't necessarily doing anything other than just

367
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,680
putting in work. Baby.

368
00:19:28,039 --> 00:19:30,759
Speaker 5: The ironic part is like it's almost the complete opposite

369
00:19:30,759 --> 00:19:33,160
of how right a Lines is on social media. Like

370
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,240
he's very into social media, Like he's very Yeah, he

371
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:38,839
builds the brand.

372
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is.

373
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 5: I don't know if you saw today there's a video

374
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,599
going around from his sister of him doing a TikTok

375
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,920
dance in his home MTC missionary get up. So yeah,

376
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,519
it's it's interesting, like the dichotomy between Bear social media

377
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:56,720
presence and Riders social media presence very different. Yeah, Like

378
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,440
I'll be honest, like I have appreciate the game, Yeah,

379
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:06,119
I appreciate it. It takes a special human to like

380
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,359
do TikTok dances, like just you know what I mean,

381
00:20:09,599 --> 00:20:10,160
couldn't be me.

382
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:11,559
Speaker 1: You could do it.

383
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 3: Ronnie could probably do it. Ronnie, you could do TikTok dance.

384
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:16,440
Have you done any choreograph TikTok dances yet?

385
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:18,039
Speaker 1: Uh?

386
00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 4: If I had to answer that question, and I'm just kidding,

387
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,559
I'm chucking out, I'm just no, I'm not pleading the fifth.

388
00:20:23,839 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: I will do them.

389
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,759
Speaker 4: If my sister, who is a performing arts major, graduated

390
00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:29,759
from you know, one of the top dance schools in California,

391
00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:32,680
and am uh she asked me, Ben, I would do that,

392
00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:36,079
But I don't do the Mariah Hudgens women basketball Arimca

393
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,920
Williams ag debonsa on the TikTok. I don't do any

394
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,920
of those those things. I'm like Richie man, it's all business.

395
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,559
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't buy too much into that.

396
00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:48,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, which is why I like, bear get off TikTok.

397
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: You know I haven't been Yeah, he's not tiktoking. He's

398
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,480
not instant, he's not he's not twittering.

399
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:54,599
Speaker 4: He's all business. I mean his answer has been in

400
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,960
like five seconds been like he doesn't like, look this,

401
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,640
I don't want people to think that it's bad. But

402
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,680
like if they said, if they said, okay, who's the

403
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:05,559
person who you would ask to interview the most on

404
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:08,160
the team that would give you an insightful answer, I

405
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,720
would say Tanner Wall. I would say Darien Alexander, those

406
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,279
guys that feel like are going to go in depth.

407
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,759
If they asked me, who are two guys not to interview?

408
00:21:16,039 --> 00:21:18,079
And I love both these brothers, but I would not

409
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,279
interview Jack Kelly, and I would not interview Bear Bommeyer

410
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,559
like the like they just are all about business, which

411
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:25,319
is good. You need guys that just want to play

412
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:27,400
ball and not focus on the outside noise.

413
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, just want to play ball.

414
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:34,279
Speaker 3: Right, Well, real quick, you know, we're discussing a number

415
00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:36,400
of things here. Right we're looking at the portal. We're

416
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,640
looking at the things that you know, maybe bringing you anxiety.

417
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,279
I still turn to, you know, the things that we

418
00:21:43,279 --> 00:21:47,079
should be grateful for. I believe, and I heard about

419
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,119
We had LJ. Martin on our show before the Bowl game,

420
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,519
great interview and he was a little bit coy, but

421
00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:59,279
he said, I'm going to evaluate essentially my NFL prospects.

422
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,519
Where will LJ go in this next year's NFL draft.

423
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:08,079
He ended up getting surgery before the bowl game. So

424
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,640
you can interpret that one of two ways. You can say, well,

425
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:16,559
he's getting surgery now so that he can be prep

426
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,720
be ready, get ready for the Pro day or the combine.

427
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,960
The combine's right around the corner, right, So like to

428
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,920
get shoulder surgery, you know, you don't have a whole

429
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,200
lot of time to be ready to bench press.

430
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: If you're gonna do any bench press.

431
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:31,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can probably do your running drills over that

432
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,160
you don't necessarily it's not ideal.

433
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this much.

434
00:22:35,319 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: To me as I'm evaluating this, it is not ever

435
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:45,599
ideal going into your pro day or combine to get

436
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,680
surgery in December. Yeah, it's just not when that happened,

437
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,359
I said, hm, I feel like he's coming back, Like

438
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,000
I feel like he's coming back because it it like

439
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:01,599
it sets you up as a at a competitive disadvantage.

440
00:23:01,599 --> 00:23:04,519
I remember Taysum had a remarkable Pro Day. He was

441
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:08,839
coming off a season ending injury. Though versus Utah State,

442
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,160
he had to go and compete, but his his like

443
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:15,039
left arm was emaciated. Like I said, he tore it

444
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,599
up but imagine if he would have been one healthy.

445
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,160
I know it's upper extremity, but all of that matters

446
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,480
every we we're talking tens of a second, we're talking

447
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:30,279
half inch inch addition in his vertical you know, much

448
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:33,160
more efficient in your movements when you when you're at

449
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,079
one hundred percent in all extremities and he's still tore

450
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:37,400
it up.

451
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: That was an ideal.

452
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:41,759
Speaker 3: I remember Braden Kyle, you know, he wasn't able to

453
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,400
be invited to the combine. He had an okay, you know,

454
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:47,440
pro day, but it was just more position like he

455
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,839
had to have surgery at the end of the year.

456
00:23:48,839 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: You do not even a labram a minor shoulder surgery

457
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:53,440
like that.

458
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,079
Speaker 3: It's not ideal before you go to a combine. I

459
00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:59,599
think he's coming back. If he comes back, which I

460
00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:03,880
think he would will like that. That's probably outside of

461
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:11,000
Bear I mean the Bear LJ Centaur combo, right, these

462
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:13,000
two humans that are built like centaur.

463
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting how they're built exactly the same.

464
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 3: Like that's one of the best retention stories of the

465
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,039
college football season, considering you just went twelve and two

466
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,200
and your only losses were to a top five team

467
00:24:28,279 --> 00:24:29,079
in Texas Tech.

468
00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 5: If you had told me preseason LG Martin and Isaiah

469
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,920
Glasgar are both coming back, I would have said, you're crazy.

470
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,680
I don't want to ever talk to you again, because

471
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,759
nothing I can say, nothing you can say, would make

472
00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:41,240
me feel like anything you say is true.

473
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,799
Speaker 1: Yep, so, and I'm with you.

474
00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 5: I think the fact, in addition to everything that we've

475
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,119
already heard about LJ, I think he's coming back, but

476
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:50,720
the fact that.

477
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,759
Speaker 1: He got surgery.

478
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 5: The only reason that that makes sense to me is

479
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,640
if you are a guaranteed top twenty pick and there's nothing.

480
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,279
Speaker 1: You can do to move up or down.

481
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, but when you.

482
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:07,039
Speaker 5: Get surgery like that, you basically can't improve your draft

483
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:09,559
stock at all. You have to take the best of

484
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,000
whatever it is today.

485
00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:12,279
Speaker 1: So I'm with you.

486
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 5: The fact that he got that surgery makes me feel

487
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,039
like he's running it back. In addition to the fact

488
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:19,440
that I said, off the top, I think these guys

489
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,960
feel like they have something left in the tank, something

490
00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:27,079
left to prove, And I think honestly, going to that

491
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,319
Pop Tarts Bowl and beating Georgia Tech, I think that

492
00:25:31,519 --> 00:25:34,480
was their stage to say, Hey, they don't know, but

493
00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:36,559
they're about to find out we're gonna win this game,

494
00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:38,960
and we're gonna be back in the playoffs next year

495
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,920
to be winning some games as well. I think this

496
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,960
team feels like they have something to prove and that

497
00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:45,039
they can prove it, and so I think that's why

498
00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:46,599
a lot of these guys are coming back, and that's

499
00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:48,039
what makes me think LJ is coming back.

500
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:53,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, LJ can't wait to have your your social media posts.

501
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,519
Speaker 1: LJ will post right, He's got a post, he gotta got.

502
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,400
Bear's gonna post too.

503
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,559
Speaker 5: I think freshman year LJ wouldn't have like when we

504
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,599
first met LJ, because I think what Bear is now

505
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,079
is what LJ was when he was young, where he

506
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,240
just like he didn't really talk too much. I think

507
00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:10,720
Bear will elongate as he goes along, and I think

508
00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:13,599
he'll be more like LJ is now than what.

509
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,279
Speaker 1: He is right now.

510
00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:19,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, be of good cheer, Be of good cheer, Cougar Nation.

511
00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:23,720
Don't let anxiety, you know, creep in. And I know

512
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,000
you've been hurt. I know you've been hurt in the

513
00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:30,759
past many times. But we're in a new dawn, a

514
00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:36,200
new day, a new era in which the Kialani culture

515
00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:38,960
is gonna win out more often than not. I know

516
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,559
you got hurt by Jay, you know what I mean.

517
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,720
I know it hurt you. But remember Jay Hill is

518
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,480
a mercenary. He's a mercenary. He was never a BYU guy.

519
00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:52,200
You know he's a mercenary. He's gonna tease Canna take

520
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,200
the highest bidder more often than not.

521
00:26:56,319 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: And Gennaro, I know, he's.

522
00:26:57,559 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 3: A BYU cougar and you thought, maybe possible, hopefully you'll

523
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,880
be able to retain him, but the likelihood is this,

524
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:10,519
Gennaro didn't receive the full fledged defensive coordinating duties and

525
00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:13,519
he felt like his quickest path to becoming a DC

526
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,440
was not staying at BYU but going with j Hill,

527
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,880
which is a professional decision that he had to make.

528
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:26,039
That was difficult, very difficult considering those things. But your

529
00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:28,839
individual progress, as you guys all know that are listening

530
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:29,279
right now.

531
00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: You may be in corporate America, you may be an entrepreneur.

532
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,319
Speaker 3: You want also, everyone wants a little bit of individual

533
00:27:35,759 --> 00:27:38,720
progress while being a part of a team. Right would say,

534
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,599
that's an aggurate We want to feel like we're growing,

535
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,720
we're building something, We're building and creating core competencies.

536
00:27:44,759 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: And that's his end goal is to be a DC.

537
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,799
Once a cougar, always a cougar.

538
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,559
Speaker 3: Maybe one maybe down the road he'll come back in

539
00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:54,640
some way, shape or form down the road.

540
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: You never know.

541
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 3: You want to keep those doors open in great relationships.

542
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,519
But what I'm saying is be of good cheer. I

543
00:28:01,519 --> 00:28:05,960
don't think you should be anxiety filled about anything right now. If, if,

544
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,160
if anything, you may you may swing on a few

545
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,839
of these guys, and Miss you may swing like you

546
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,920
may swing big on Smith Snode. I think we're in

547
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,559
a really really good spot with Miss Smith Snowden.

548
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: I really do.

549
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 3: Am I one hundred percent convinced that he's coming to buy,

550
00:28:22,759 --> 00:28:24,319
you know, but I feel like we.

551
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,519
Speaker 1: Got a pretty goshtay good shot. We're fighting against Oregon,

552
00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:30,240
that's gonna be a tough one. We're gonna be fighting

553
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,960
against Michigan. It's gonna be a tough one.

554
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 3: Like there's some good teams that are going after him,

555
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,440
with good relationships with the Snowden family. But I mean,

556
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,559
if it was up to if it was up to

557
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,000
Smith's mom, he'd probably.

558
00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:46,599
Speaker 1: Be at v YU. So you better go hard at mom.

559
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,839
Speaker 3: By the way, Miss Snowed and Miss Snowed and she

560
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:57,079

great job. Shout out to the Snowden family.

563
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,279
Speaker 1: I did not know. I was not familiar with your game.

564
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:11,519
I was not and I was talking to Will and

565
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:12,720
I had.

566
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 3: A friend growing up. Let me just tell you a

567
00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:16,559
quick story and then we're gonna go to break. I

568
00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:18,440
had a friend growing a Justin Garrison. He was one

569
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,359
of our our guards on our basketball team. State champions

570
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:25,000
by the way, eighth grades so state champions, baby forever.

571
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,599
Shout out to Justin Garrison. I went up to his

572
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,920
house one time and it was the first time that

573
00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:34,839
I had ever seen This is during the Christmas holiday season.

574
00:29:35,079 --> 00:29:40,000
I had ever seen a picture of black Jesus and

575
00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:40,720
black Santa.

576
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,599
Speaker 1: And I was like, I was it was a new

577
00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:47,480
world for my black Jesus and black Santa. I was like,

578
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:49,559
this is awesome, you know what? And quite honestly, you know,

579
00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:52,039
you realize as you grow up, like, you know, Jesus man,

580
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:53,680
he had all of skin tone. You don't look like

581
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,799
the scout Scandinavian, you know, and who knows, I know,

582
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,839

584
00:30:04,359 --> 00:30:07,480
a Scandinavian feel to him. But I'm like, you know what. Respect. Anyway,

585
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,279
I was talking to Will, I'm like, Will, I know you.

586
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 3: Like because we were talking about Christmas stuff and I

Speaker 1: It was great, And I was like, you know what,

595
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:33,200
Before that though, I said, Will, I think I know you.

596
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,000
You got you got Black Jesus and you got Black

597
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,200
Santa somewhere in the house. He's like, oh, I got

598
00:30:40,279 --> 00:30:41,440
multiple That's.

599
00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:42,039
Speaker 4: What I'm talking about.

600
00:30:42,119 --> 00:30:42,319
Speaker 6: Will.

601
00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hey, Ben, Ben, you should have come downstairs then, Ben.

602
00:30:46,039 --> 00:30:49,119
I got, I got black Jesus, I got I got

603
00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:51,839
black Jesus, I got black I got what is it,

604
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,319
black wise men, you name it?

605
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,519
Speaker 1: I got everything. Hey man. They came from the East.

606
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,559
They could have been coming from Egypt, you know what

607
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,440
I mean? The wise Man. One unanimously thinks that the

608
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,920
wise Men were probably black. Yeah, like I think most Yeah,

609
00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:04,920
most people.

610
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I will say, like, definitively, I think it

611
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:09,960
could go either way. Look, I am not I am

612
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,000
not against I think Santa could be black. I definitely

613
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,160
think Jesus could be black.

614
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,519
Speaker 1: See, Brett, here's the thing. You're good has a problem

615
00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:19,759
for me? Is I mean you and I?

616
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,039
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, were you there? Because I wasn't there. So

617
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,240
Jesus or Santa, I haven't seen either one of them.

618
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:25,839
Speaker 1: They could be black.

619
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 4: Look, we're sticking with the normal Santa becaus been. I

620
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,000
told you this, and you laughed when I said that

621
00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:32,880
Brett might get a kick out of this. I'm like wondering,

622
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,279
I gotta be careful with the black Santa, because you know,

623
00:31:35,319 --> 00:31:37,480
I don't want the little one to be confused, you know,

624
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:40,200
with me and then someone else. So we we we're

625
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,480
careful with it. So we just keep Santa Santa and

626
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:44,559
let her decide. So I always got to be careful

627
00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:44,920
about that.

628
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,279
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, Oh man. Anyway, I don't know why I

629
00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:51,599
shared that story, but I feel pretty good. Like I

630
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,799
know this note famly Will hops on the show a

631
00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:58,960
lot like and I've never felt like he hasn't been honest, true, chasing,

632
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,680
benevolent with me. Like I think we got a good chance.

633
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,000
We got a good chance. We're we're in the fight, man,

634
00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:07,640
and we're we're going into the deeper rounds. I can

635
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,200
tell you that much. So be of good cheer, cougarnation.

636
00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:13,960
We may get Smith, hopefully maybe at the moment.

637
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: Well, the great thing is is like Smith can play

638
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,680
any any corner position. You can playing field, you can

639
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,839
play boundary, you can play nickel. That's the great thing about.

640
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,160
We need them, We really need them. We want to

641
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,599
feature them, and we have our system in place. It's

642
00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:31,319
hard because Gennaro's the godfather, man, I mean, Jennard didn't

643
00:32:31,319 --> 00:32:35,000
get them the first go around. Okay, and Smith never

644
00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:36,920
re entered the portal, even though there was you know,

645
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:43,119
possible flirtations at the time. But you know, Jenna's got

646
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,000
got a lot going on at Michigan now, And but

647
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,920
does does does do you guys really want to go

648
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,200
out to Michigan? You want to go out through those games?

649
00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:53,400
Will's fine with it.

650
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 5: Does Mom want to go out to Michigan and Arborn.

651
00:32:57,079 --> 00:32:57,759
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

652
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 3: The big House is fun, but travels, I don't care

653
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,920
what always says man, Like those that have been on

654
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,599
the grind you guys, Vick's over here like shaking his head.

655
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,000
Is like those that had to travel a lot early

656
00:33:11,039 --> 00:33:14,039
on in their career. Like you get to an age

657
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:16,880
like you hit like you hit a certain age where

658
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,799
like I never want to travel again unless it's for

659
00:33:19,799 --> 00:33:22,079

722
00:36:33,639 --> 00:36:37,760
All right, so some breaking news happened yesterday. A quarterback

723
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,199
has committed to the BYU Cougars, Donte Bell. He's a

724
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,639
junior college quarterback transfer who joins BA from Mount San

725
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:50,480
Antonio College Mount Sack, and he's gonna be adding some

726
00:36:50,599 --> 00:36:53,039
debt to the Cougars quarterback room. He began his college

727
00:36:53,079 --> 00:36:57,360
career at East Los Angeles College before playing the twenty

728
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,760
twenty four season at Mount Sack Math sec. Bell appeared

729
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,440
in nine games, I believe, completing ninety eight one, one

730
00:37:05,519 --> 00:37:07,920
hundred and seventy two passes for one thousand, four to

731
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,400
thirty seven yards, thirteen touchdowns and four interceptions. He also

732
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:15,679
added three rushing touchdowns, showing some athleticism while primarily operating

733
00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:18,360
as a pocket oriented passer. Bell, who's listed at six

734
00:37:18,519 --> 00:37:19,320
five to ten.

735
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,079
Speaker 1: It's a large body.

736
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,599
Speaker 3: It's a large human giving him some a big frame

737
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,400
that he continues to grow into his.

738
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: Game built around that arm strength.

739
00:37:31,079 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 3: Right, he can definitely push the ball down fields, got

740
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:38,119
some vertical passing ability, but I wouldn't call I wouldn't

741
00:37:38,119 --> 00:37:40,400
consider him necessarily a dual threat guy just yet. Maybe

742
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,960
they can, Maybe Skyler Man and Colby Klausen and Ryan

743
00:37:44,039 --> 00:37:48,000
Phillis can maximize the analytic potential that big body of

744
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:50,960
his and get it twitchier, get it faster, get that

745
00:37:51,079 --> 00:37:55,880
neural muscular system in a prime and peak performance type

746
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:56,719
of platform.

747
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,679
Speaker 1: I'd love to see it. I'd love to see it.

748
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:04,039
Speaker 3: He joins the quarterback room comprised of Bear Blackmeier, Tration Borgae,

749
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,480
and Enick Watson. How are we feeling number one about

750
00:38:08,559 --> 00:38:11,880
Dante Bell and how are we feeling about the quarterback

751
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:12,559
depth chart?

752
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: Brett always bringing the hammer? How do you feel right now?

753
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 5: If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure Aaron Roderick has

754
00:38:21,559 --> 00:38:25,440
had success with a juco quarterback from Southern.

755
00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:26,079
Speaker 1: Cali, California.

756
00:38:26,159 --> 00:38:29,119
Speaker 5: But true, I'm pretty sure won by the name of

757
00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:31,920
Jake Retzov, who was just good enough to go to

758
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,079
a collegeotball playoff game, which tells.

759
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: Me a number of things.

760
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 5: I think the biggest takeaway that we should get from

761
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,559
Dante Bell coming to BYU is remember what Aaron Roderick has.

762
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: Done with quarterbacks.

763
00:38:46,559 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 5: You can argue whatever you want, so you're blue in

764
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,280
the face if you don't think he's a good play caller.

765
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,559
I won't agree with you. Feel free to scream into

766
00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:56,719
a tunnel as much as you'd like. But what you

767
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,519
cannot dispute with me right now is the fact that

768
00:38:59,559 --> 00:39:03,760
a Rod got Jarenhall drafted, Zach Wilson drafted, Keaton Slovas drafted,

769
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,559
and then talent scouted a guy from Juco from southern

770
00:39:08,559 --> 00:39:11,639
California and Jake Reetzloff who went on to win how

771
00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:12,280
many games.

772
00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:14,079
Speaker 1: In the Big twelve last year? Oh yeah? Who did

773
00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:16,679
What's Colorado in the Big twelve last year? Oh yeah?

774
00:39:16,679 --> 00:39:19,400
And then went to the Cultural playoffs the year after that.

775
00:39:19,679 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 5: Now, I don't know that Dante Betle is as good

776
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,400
as Jake Reetzloff, and he's certainly not going to be

777
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:30,920
the starter likely. However, I sit here at a point

778
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,880
now where I say, if Aaron Roderick thinks he's a

779
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,119
good quarterback. Who am I to argue with Aaron Roderick,

780
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,519
because what he's done in this short time with these

781
00:39:40,599 --> 00:39:44,280
quarterback prospects has been nothing short of excellent.

782
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: I think it does a number of things.

783
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 5: First of all, like you continue to fill up the

784
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,480
competition level I think in that quarterback room, because you

785
00:39:52,519 --> 00:39:56,920
were just sitting with just Trason and Enick Watson, which

786
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,039
I just if I'm be frank, if I may be

787
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,360
so frank, I don't think it's safe to assume that

788
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,880
Bear can just run as heavy as you want to

789
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,000
run him and play fourteen games every year. I hope

790
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,440
that's the case. I wish no injury on Bear. I

791
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,159
love Bear. I don't want anything bad to happen to him.

792
00:40:15,159 --> 00:40:17,119
I don't want him get a paper cut or anything. However,

793
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,199
the man takes a lot of hits. So my assumption

794
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,719
is there may be a game or two in the

795
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,800
next couple of years where someone has to play backup

796
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,840
quarterback and be a starter for a game or so.

797
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,159
I don't know if it's gonna be Dante Bell, but

798
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,960
I do think if Aaron Rodders says he's good enough

799
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,159
to bring him from Juco to BYU, I will trust

800
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,480
in the eyes of Aaron Roderick.

801
00:40:38,639 --> 00:40:42,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bear Blockmer, Trayson Boorgay, Enick Watson. You got Bear

802
00:40:42,199 --> 00:40:45,800
Bochmer coming off an All Americans true freshman season. He'll

803
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,440
be a sophomore leading in the way. Trayson Boorgay was competitive. Obviously,

804
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,440
he was listed as a QB two alongside McKay.

805
00:40:53,639 --> 00:40:55,599
Speaker 1: He'll stead more even.

806
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 3: Three though he was the QB three for BYU this

807
00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:03,280
last year. I had a Tucson Arizona win Western Michigan.

808
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,920
For a couple of years, trensuer to BYU and he's

809
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,440
been a backup. But he loves BYU. He loves the atmosphere,

810
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,519
he loves the culture, and like, if you wanted to

811
00:41:10,559 --> 00:41:12,920
go play ball, you could have gone somewhere else, but

812
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,760
he likes everything else that's associated with it and that matters.

813
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,320
And he's been in the system for a while, a

814
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,639
serviceable backup. The wild card for me this next year

815
00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:27,960
is actually Enick Watson. I love me, Enick Watson. I

816
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,480
love me some Enick Watson. I'm at Arizona boy. He's

817
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:33,440
an Arizona boy. He originally was in the Coconita County

818
00:41:33,679 --> 00:41:38,599
in Flagstaff, Arizona. He was running an offense throughout his

819
00:41:38,679 --> 00:41:41,639
high school career that was not suited for him. He

820
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,519
ends up at American Leadership Academy getting coached up by

821
00:41:44,559 --> 00:41:47,599
Max Hall his senior year, and he balls out just

822
00:41:47,679 --> 00:41:50,159
I mean, some ridiculous places. You can google him, you

823
00:41:50,159 --> 00:41:54,599
can watch him on social media. He's a phenomenal athlete,

824
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:59,239
dual threat with a live arm, great stature, and I

825
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,159
like his I like his lineage. Okay, I like his lineage.

826
00:42:03,199 --> 00:42:06,519
His uncle's played at at BYU. I played with his

827
00:42:06,639 --> 00:42:11,719
uncles at BYU. Great athleticism, good football minds, and I

828
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,639
would love to see Enick really step into that backup

829
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:20,599
role this next season because he is talented. By the way,

830
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,119
it stinks that Emerson Goleman's going on a mission. I

831
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,039
love if I I love Emerson Goleman more than I

832
00:42:28,119 --> 00:42:30,639
like than I love Enick Watson. Just so everybody knows,

833
00:42:31,199 --> 00:42:34,679
huge fan of Emerson Goleman. He's going on a mission,

834
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,760
He's been called to serve, and UH want to give

835
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,320
a big cougar roar to Emerson Gomon.

836
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,559
Speaker 1: He's perfect in every way.

837
00:42:41,639 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: Like he really is. Like who like whatever? Like you

838
00:42:47,079 --> 00:42:49,199
met out there? If you have a daughter as soon

839
00:42:49,199 --> 00:42:53,280
as Emerson Goleman gets back from a mission. You don't

840
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,519
even want to be too overt, but you want to

841
00:42:55,559 --> 00:42:58,679
get your daughter in front of Emerson Goleman any way,

842
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:04,880
possibly like because those like she's gonna be happy for eternity,

843
00:43:05,559 --> 00:43:07,079
because that that young man who.

844
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,119
Speaker 1: Is like, he's literally perfect.

845
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 3: He's he's Mary Poppins in in quarterback form and in

846
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,360
in off the field form.

847
00:43:15,519 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: He's he's, he's he's that, he's perfect.

848
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:23,199
Speaker 3: Anyway, that hurts, but we wish Emerson well, but he's

849
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,480
gonna be good for the KuPS. I'm excited about Emerson.

850
00:43:25,519 --> 00:43:29,719
Don't don't sleep on Emerson Golement anyway. I love Edick Watson,

851
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,880
I'd be I'll be intrigued to see if he ends

852
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,159
up being QB two this next season.

853
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,599
Speaker 1: Dante Bell is gonna.

854
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:41,519
Speaker 3: Step in and obvious, like I'm wondering what it is

855
00:43:41,559 --> 00:43:46,880
that a Rod season Dante right, because he's a pretty

856
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,920
good evaluator of quarterback talent. Now has he hit on

857
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,000
every quarterback that he's recruited to b YU, you know

858
00:43:54,039 --> 00:43:54,440
what I mean?

859
00:43:54,599 --> 00:43:55,599
Speaker 1: No, not necessarily.

860
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 3: It's a little bit off from me because I don't

861
00:43:58,840 --> 00:43:59,920
think he's a true dual threat.

862
00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: Kid, he's he can. He's like, to me, is.

863
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:10,639
Speaker 3: If I'm looking at a a quarterback right now in

864
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,760
the NFL, it kind of feels like Danny Jones to me,

865
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,239
Like the height, the weight, You're gonna use him in

866
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,960
red zone running not necessarily from the twenty to twenty

867
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,480
similar like what did we We used Bear a lot

868
00:44:25,679 --> 00:44:28,599
in the run game, like we did, but I would

869
00:44:28,639 --> 00:44:31,480
say we utilized him more so in what.

870
00:44:32,079 --> 00:44:35,039
Speaker 1: The red zone? Does that make sense?

871
00:44:35,679 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 5: So what if instead of those short yard QB sneaks

872
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,960
where you want to run Bear, you just give him

873
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,679
a break. You bring out that good old Gary Bohannon

874
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:45,360
package from.

875
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: The Colorado We would have used Gary this way too,

876
00:44:48,039 --> 00:44:51,000
you know me too. Maybe maybe that's what their thought

877
00:44:51,039 --> 00:44:51,679
process here is.

878
00:44:51,679 --> 00:44:53,559
Speaker 5: They're like, look, we don't want to have a tight

879
00:44:53,679 --> 00:44:55,239
end or a wide receiver come in here, have to

880
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,440
take snaps, but we'll take a guy who we know

881
00:44:57,519 --> 00:45:00,880
has a massive six six, two hundred ten pound frame,

882
00:45:01,039 --> 00:45:04,719
who can take a snap and who cannot be moved backwards.

883
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,920
And maybe you just swap out Bear for Dante in

884
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,119
those situations.

885
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 3: Well, like I said, I mean, look, this year, Bear

886
00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:17,039
Bachmeier broke a record for rushing touchdowns from a quarterback

887
00:45:17,079 --> 00:45:18,920
at BYU, how.

888
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: Many end up having twelve?

889
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,559
Speaker 3: Trying to remember exactly what the number was off the

890
00:45:23,559 --> 00:45:25,400
top of my head, because I remember Taysum had ten.

891
00:45:26,199 --> 00:45:31,880
Did he tie or did he surpass it? Anyway, I'll

892
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,599
take a look at this year in a second. But

893
00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:38,079
really impressive work obviously collect Yeah, eleven.

894
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,039
Speaker 1: Eleven rushing touchdowns. Taysum had ten.

895
00:45:40,599 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 3: Bro I remember how awesome it was to watch our

896
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:48,760
red zone efficiency that season when Taysum was bawling out

897
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:53,079
in twenty thirteen. Ten rushing touchdowns. It just changes your

898
00:45:53,079 --> 00:45:57,719
red zone. When we didn't look at the Georgia Tech game,

899
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,880
we had two different scenarios in which we just weren't

900
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,199
able to We didn't.

901
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 1: Have Lja either. That hurt.

902
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,519
Speaker 3: But when you have el Ja and Bear in the

903
00:46:07,559 --> 00:46:11,000
red zone, and I'm talking about Dante Bell here.

904
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,199
Speaker 1: Like that's where you could utilize them.

905
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,159
Speaker 3: And I think through like five games this year, by

906
00:46:16,159 --> 00:46:17,960
the way I did the you know with the comp

907
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,519
that I gave Danny Jones, he had like the most

908
00:46:20,599 --> 00:46:23,239
rushing touchdowns from a quarterback through like five six games.

909
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,079
Now he eventually got injured, right, So there's always and

910
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,880
and Bear had a highinnkeel sprain right, he was able

911
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,719
to avoid some of the nicks things bruises that you get,

912
00:46:32,199 --> 00:46:34,039
the wear and tear win a three hundred and thirty

913
00:46:34,039 --> 00:46:37,199
pound defensive tackle from Texas SEC rolls up on you

914
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:38,280
in sprange or ankle.

915
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:39,039
Speaker 1: That happens.

916
00:46:39,559 --> 00:46:42,159
Speaker 3: So it would be nice to be able to have

917
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:43,639
a package.

918
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: I believe in red zone packages. I really do.

919
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,079
Speaker 3: Now Bear can be that guy too. It's not like

920
00:46:50,119 --> 00:46:52,599
you're gonna just but it's nice to have something. You

921
00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:54,760
saw it with McKay Hillstad he was he was brought

922
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,760
in for a little red zone package in the bowl game.

923
00:46:57,679 --> 00:46:59,840
Now he got off, tackled, couldn't get a field, couldn't

924
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:00,519
bring the tackle.

925
00:47:00,559 --> 00:47:02,760
Speaker 1: It is what it is. But those are some of

926
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:03,400
my thoughts I had.

927
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 3: About Dante Bell, big arm with an ability to be

928
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,320
a short yardage run quarterback.

929
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:10,199
Speaker 1: That's what I thought.

930
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 3: And and quite honestly, do you need your quarterback to

931
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:15,800
be able to take off for.

932
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: A ninety yard touchdown?

933
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 3: It's nice, but very rarely do you have like they're

934
00:47:21,039 --> 00:47:22,840
gonna get injured, that type of running back or that

935
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,159
type of quarterback like the Lamar Jackson, like this's like the.

936
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: Avery Johnson from Kansas State. Like they're great, like I

937
00:47:33,519 --> 00:47:36,159
would love I would love to have a guy like that,

938
00:47:36,559 --> 00:47:39,000
but they do tend to get injured. Bear was a

939
00:47:39,039 --> 00:47:40,679
bit of an anomaly in the sense that he didn't

940
00:47:40,679 --> 00:47:47,400
get injured. Tation got injured a lot, a lot. You

941
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:56,480
want big boned, big ligaments, robust, robust musculature with your quarterbacks, yep,

942
00:47:57,039 --> 00:48:00,440
and some good intermediate passing hopefully. Now the different stream

943
00:48:00,599 --> 00:48:03,320
Dante is that I think he's got a bigger arm

944
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,840
than Bear. Enix got a pretty big arm. Enix got

945
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,480
a pretty bad We call him Goldi because he's the

946
00:48:08,519 --> 00:48:11,519
Golden child by the way he's like he's he's he's

947
00:48:11,519 --> 00:48:14,280
a really good kid, good football player.

948
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,639
Speaker 3: So anyway, that's your quarterback room right now. What grade

949
00:48:17,639 --> 00:48:19,239
would you give it? What do you like about it?

950
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:24,679
What do you dislike about it? I'm giving it. I

951
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,280
really want to say B plus.

952
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 5: But that's like, that's factoring in my wishful thinking of

953
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,639
just in the recency bias of how good Jake Retzlof

954
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,280
was and what a Rod has been able to do

955
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:45,320
with his top quarterback. However, I don't know that I

956
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,119
thought McKay Hillstead was.

957
00:48:47,079 --> 00:48:49,679
Speaker 1: Exceptional, And I don't know that I.

958
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:53,559
Speaker 5: Like I like Trayson, but I don't know I Bear

959
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,400
won the job because he was the best. So I

960
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,719
don't know that's an indictment on mchay hill said or

961
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,679
Tracy Board. Right now that I think about it, I'm

962
00:48:59,679 --> 00:49:01,800
gonna ge it be plus okay, because I think it

963
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,320
has potential. I think if they decide to use it

964
00:49:05,679 --> 00:49:07,920
in what we've talked about as a red zone package,

965
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,679
I think that could be fun and effective. Honestly, one

966
00:49:12,679 --> 00:49:15,159
of the needs that I see for this BYU football

967
00:49:15,199 --> 00:49:18,760
team is what are more ways that we can keep

968
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,559
Bear healthy? And I had and the number one I

969
00:49:22,639 --> 00:49:27,400
thought about this was getting another running back. I hadn't

970
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:33,639
necessarily considered getting a red zone, red zone rushing threat quarterback,

971
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,559
But if that is part of the mindset here, then

972
00:49:36,599 --> 00:49:38,920
that definitely makes me want to bump the great up.

973
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: So I'll give that one a B plus. And I'm

974
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,519
not saying like that he's just being brought in to

975
00:49:42,599 --> 00:49:43,239
be a red zone.

976
00:49:43,119 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 3: I'm not saying is like I think if you look

977
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,960
at it from like, if you want there's different types

978
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,719
of dual threat quarterbacks, and you don't need them to

979
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,880
necessarily be like super fashion, super dynamic and four four,

980
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,960
four five, even four six guys.

981
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: They can be a four to seven guy.

982
00:49:59,119 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 3: They have to be somewhat quick, and they have to

983
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,960
be able to come downhill and break a tackle and

984
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,119
not get injured. It's like some of your inside zone stuff,

985
00:50:07,199 --> 00:50:11,840
like how many times did Bear you know, fake a

986
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,920
jet faking outside zone and then just.

987
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: Go straight up field? Yep, you know it was beautifully done.

988
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,639
And once he started getting downfield, he's kind of tough

989
00:50:24,679 --> 00:50:28,599
to tackle. Guys are bouncing off him, like like Bo

990
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,599
Jackson and tech Mobile. He's moving like five miles an

991
00:50:31,639 --> 00:50:34,360
hour two Like, it's not like he's just blowing past

992
00:50:34,679 --> 00:50:37,440
like that Utah touchdown run. He's got to be moving

993
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,760
at like five miles an hour and he's just rolling

994
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,480
and rumbling along. You guys just can't bring him down.

995
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 5: So he doesn't even need four five speed because what

996
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,480
he's got right now you still can't touch.

997
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:53,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, indeed, well uh give us your grade, like

998
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,760
I would say, you know, to me, this is probably

999
00:50:57,039 --> 00:51:01,000
a B.

1000
00:50:59,159 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: B plus is kind of like where I'm at. Because

1001
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:02,360
of Bear.

1002
00:51:03,039 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 3: You have Trayson, who has some experience in the college

1003
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,719
football world. He's got a decent RM. He's a he's

1004
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,639
a decent decision maker. He's your QB three this last year.

1005
00:51:12,039 --> 00:51:14,119
And I don't know, I mean, I probably more be

1006
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,400
And it's mostly because of Bear, I'll be honest. Like

1007
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:22,239
the depth, Yeah, it's B for Bear. It's you know,

1008
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,159
it's B minus kind of thing, like you just don't

1009
00:51:25,199 --> 00:51:28,280
have a whole lot there on the back end. But

1010
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,239
like I said, I love Enich, like I think he's

1011
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,480
really I got high potential. It's just he doesn't have

1012
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,280
any experience. Now he is getting up to date on

1013
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,639
the on the play call. She and you know, the

1014
00:51:36,639 --> 00:51:39,920
the the entire playbook, and I can't wait to see

1015
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,679
what he and it can do when give him the opportunity.

get into some numbers here on your Utah ESPN Radio network.

1048
00:53:07,039 --> 00:53:12,480
Couple things here. Number one, let's talk about TV ratings.

1049
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:17,000
ESPN's twenty twenty five twenty six Bowl games slate scored

1050
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:21,280
largest audience in ten years. Anyone that tells you that

1051
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:25,639
that the current landscape is ruining college football from an

1052
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:31,119
entertainment standpoint, from a viewership standpoint, they're wrong. We're all watching,

1053
00:53:31,159 --> 00:53:35,360
we're all reading, we're all engaging at a higher level,

1054
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,559
more so than than any other time in.

1055
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,199
Speaker 1: College football history.

1056
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 3: Okay, three point one million average viewers across thirty three games,

1057
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,760
up thirteen percent year over year. ABC six point two

1058
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:54,039
million delivered largest non CFP Bowl audience in twelve years.

1059
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:59,000
Eleven games reached at least a five year high, with eight.

1060
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,039
Speaker 1: Scoring eight ten year high.

1061
00:54:01,559 --> 00:54:06,599
Speaker 3: So the Cheese It Bowl Michigan versus Texas, even with

1062
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,440
opt outs, right, even with like issues with coaches and

1063
00:54:10,519 --> 00:54:16,519
all this stuff, nine point one million viewers on average

1064
00:54:16,519 --> 00:54:20,360
peak was fifteen million viewers, by the way, best Citrus

1065
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:24,559
Bowl since two thousand, nineteen twenty twenty. Okay, pop tards ball,

1066
00:54:24,599 --> 00:54:26,960
we talked about this, eight point seven million viewers. Georgia

1067
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,239
Tech versus BYU peak was ten million viewers. That's the

1068
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:36,320
best since nineteen ninety one. The Bad Boy Mower's pinstripe coal.

1069
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:37,199
Speaker 1: That's right.

1070
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 3: Penn State versus Clemson seven point six million viewers. Two

1071
00:54:41,079 --> 00:54:46,039
teams that have great legacy, great branding, but an average

1072
00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:49,599
win loss record attracted seven.

1073
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: Point six million viewers.

1074
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 3: What this shows us, ladies and gentlemen, poison girls, people

1075
00:54:53,519 --> 00:54:58,639
of the jury, that we love football no matter who's playing,

1076
00:54:59,039 --> 00:55:02,320
how they're playing. Look, I remember Kilonie talking about how

1077
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,039
he'd just like pull off to the side of the road.

1078
00:55:04,079 --> 00:55:06,079
Speaker 1: There was like a Pop Warner practice. He just watch

1079
00:55:06,159 --> 00:55:10,280
it watching Pop Warner practice. Oh yeah, Like oh that fullback,

1080
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,639
Oh man, he really runs hard. You know. Oh that's

1081
00:55:12,639 --> 00:55:13,320
a great trap.

1082
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 3: That's a great block thereat really nice down block there,

1083
00:55:16,559 --> 00:55:18,599
fantastic leverage on that one, you know.

1084
00:55:18,639 --> 00:55:20,599
Speaker 1: I mean you're just thinking about all these things, right.

1085
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,079
Speaker 3: We us love ball, We love ball, We love football.

1086
00:55:24,079 --> 00:55:28,760
Baby Virginia versus Miszoo six million viewers. Tennessee versus The

1087
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,679
Fighting a Lion I five point four million viewers. So

1088
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:39,599
the eyeballs are there. Where there's ball, there's eyeballs. What

1089
00:55:39,639 --> 00:55:42,280
does it say about the viewership on Notre Dame's Bowl game.

1090
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 5: Oh, that's right, they didn't play in one BOMM. Yeah,

1091
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,440
that is a bummer. What's funny is like that Penn

1092
00:55:52,519 --> 00:55:55,840
State Clemson game was horrible, Like that was one of

1093
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,000
the worst football games I have watched in a long

1094
00:55:59,039 --> 00:56:02,280
time because watch it it was so cold, because it

1095
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,079
was in New York and Clemson and Penn State. I mean,

1096
00:56:05,119 --> 00:56:08,679
it was just a dropfest to see who could drop

1097
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:09,639
more passes.

1098
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:15,079
Speaker 1: It was so bad to watch. However, people still watched it.

1099
00:56:15,199 --> 00:56:17,199
Speaker 5: And the point that you bring up about, like the

1100
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,280
fact that we'll just watch ball at any time, like

1101
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,320
when both first when both season first started, I can't

1102
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:23,639
remember what I was watching.

1103
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:26,079
Speaker 1: I think it was like.

1104
00:56:26,039 --> 00:56:28,679
Speaker 5: Tennessee State, I don't know, it was HBCUs and I

1105
00:56:28,679 --> 00:56:31,320
was like, dude, I will watch anything as long as

1106
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:35,360
there is collegiate football attached. My favorite thing ever that

1107
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:39,000
college football has done was during COVID when they moved

1108
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,400
the FCS playoffs to the spring. I don't know if

1109
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,000
you remember this, yeah, but they they moved their season

1110
00:56:44,039 --> 00:56:46,119
to the spring and there was nothing else on it,

1111
00:56:46,119 --> 00:56:47,960
and I was like, oh, dude, they got a full

1112
00:56:48,039 --> 00:56:51,360
tournament for FCS playoffs. Let's go, and I was just

1113
00:56:51,559 --> 00:56:54,519
riding those Delaware Hens all the way to the championship.

1114
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:55,679
Speaker 1: I truly wish.

1115
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 5: I know they couldn't because of the way it works out,

1116
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,239
but I man, I wish we could have FC yes

1117
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:01,440
football in the spring.

1118
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: I think if they didn't, I think people would watch it.

1119
00:57:04,039 --> 00:57:07,559
Speaker 3: Bro It's the best idea that has been brought forth,

1120
00:57:07,599 --> 00:57:10,519
I think in the college football landscape, because it becomes

1121
00:57:10,519 --> 00:57:13,079
a minor league for the major league. Yes, and it's

1122
00:57:13,159 --> 00:57:15,760
it's it's more impactful because you can pick up guys

1123
00:57:16,159 --> 00:57:19,199
after the spring after like, so let's say they start

1124
00:57:19,239 --> 00:57:25,719
the season in uh, like, their fall camp is January. Okay, Okay,

1125
00:57:26,199 --> 00:57:30,920
you start playing football in February, February right after the

1126
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,960
Super Bowl ends April, and then you get done essentially

1127
00:57:35,639 --> 00:57:39,039
in May with the FCS playoffs, and then they can

1128
00:57:39,079 --> 00:57:40,920
transition into their next school.

1129
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was gonna be My next question is, like,

1130
00:57:43,559 --> 00:57:46,039
would it give them enough time to where they could

1131
00:57:46,119 --> 00:57:49,119
hit the portals in the calendar and then transfer to

1132
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,360
Let's say you have somebody wrote say he wants to

1133
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,519
transfer to, then.

1134
00:57:53,519 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: You can what happens is ESPN, Fox.

1135
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 3: Everyone can monetize FCS football and probably all bought into that.

1136
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all like FCS football. Yeah, yeah, Like, I'll

1137
00:58:05,119 --> 00:58:07,840
take it. It could be some cold weather football games

1138
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:12,159
around the country, but once you get into you know, May,

1139
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,320
or obviously April and May late March, maybe it's a

1140
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:19,039
you know, it's starting to warm up a bit. Yeah,

1141
00:58:19,239 --> 00:58:21,199
that would be incredible. Man. They need to bring back

1142
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,079
FCS spring football. FCS spring football great. I make it

1143
00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:26,840
great again, because that was the best thing.

1144
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 3: During covid, ESPN college football writer Billy Tucker ranked the

1145
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:35,079
twenty five best freshman from the college football season. They

1146
00:58:35,159 --> 00:58:41,440
ranked Bear Bachmer number six overall, not seven. Number six

1147
00:58:41,519 --> 00:58:43,480
Bear Bochmer. This is what he had to say about him.

1148
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:48,960
While BYU came agon agonizingly close to the college football Playoff,

1149
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,440
it has a clear foundation to make another run. In

1150
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,639
twenty twenty six, b Whyle, you fended off Penn State

1151
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,480
to keep Kalan satake and won twelve games the first

1152
00:58:57,719 --> 00:59:00,760
time since two thousand and one Stak. He also found

1153
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:05,079
his quarterback, Bachmeyer, who never relinquished the starting role after

1154
00:59:05,119 --> 00:59:08,400
he was thrust into the job following Jake Redslof's late

1155
00:59:08,639 --> 00:59:13,039
summer transfer. To Tulane, Bachmeyer threw for three thousand and

1156
00:59:13,119 --> 00:59:16,000
thirty three yards and ran for an additional four five

1157
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,400
to twenty seven, combining for twenty six total touchdowns. His

1158
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,239
ability to create with his legs helped him grade as

1159
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,760
arguably the most effective freshman duel threat in the country.

1160
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,639
Speaker 1: He ended the season on a high.

1161
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 3: Note, throwing for three hundred and twenty five yards and

1162
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,000
completing seventy one point one percent of his passes in

1163
00:59:34,119 --> 00:59:38,760
arousing twenty five to twenty one win over the Georgia

1164
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,960
Tech football team in that pop Tarts ball the Bachmeyer

1165
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,360
that Bachmeyer Bear should be one of the most dynamic

1166
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,280
quarterbacks in the Big twelve next season, with an impressive

1167
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:53,320
skill set but equally striking leadership qualities to build around

1168
00:59:53,639 --> 00:59:54,480
him in provo.

1169
00:59:54,639 --> 00:59:57,159
Speaker 1: So Bear Bachmer number six are.

1170
00:59:57,039 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 5: The This list is a sham. You know who else

1171
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:03,039
is on this list better than him? Do you have

1172
01:00:03,039 --> 01:00:03,320
the list?

1173
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:04,039
Speaker 1: Pull up? I have it?

1174
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, this list is a sham. Bear Blackmeyer should

1175
01:00:07,239 --> 01:00:09,559
have been no lower than three, and the guys the

1176
01:00:09,599 --> 01:00:14,519
two guys ahead of him are are legitimate ahead of him.

1177
01:00:14,559 --> 01:00:17,719
So Number four was Caleb Hawkins, running back from North

1178
01:00:17,719 --> 01:00:21,519
Texas who like had a good season, Yes, but I

1179
01:00:21,559 --> 01:00:24,880
think mess to Maker was a massive part of that season,

1180
01:00:25,239 --> 01:00:27,880
so he definitely should have been above that. Number five

1181
01:00:28,039 --> 01:00:31,320
was a dB from LSU who frankly LSU sucked this

1182
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,360
year and it's not as important as playing the quarterback position.

1183
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,679
Then this is what lets me know the list is

1184
01:00:37,679 --> 01:00:41,079
a sham because es Billy Tucker is drinking the same

1185
01:00:41,159 --> 01:00:44,400
kool aid as everybody else who thinks that Jaron kiahwe

1186
01:00:44,519 --> 01:00:47,760
Saga who like, shout out to me for getting that

1187
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,280
off in one take, He's not better than Bear Bachmeyer.

1188
01:00:51,519 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: He's did Did he go to the a SEC Championship?

1189
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:55,440
Pretty sure he didn't know?

1190
01:00:55,639 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 5: Okay, he didn't only play on this team having won

1191
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,679
one months to get ready for the season.

1192
01:01:02,599 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: He should not be at number three.

1193
01:01:04,079 --> 01:01:04,199
Speaker 2: Now.

1194
01:01:04,239 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 5: The two guys ahead of him, Brandon Finney Junior, you'll

1195
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,800
remember because he's the man who terrorized Baron Morton in

1196
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,920
that playoff game that I'm cool with. Maybe there's recency

1197
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,119
bias because he played really well in that game, but

1198
01:01:16,199 --> 01:01:18,159
he did earn it. And then at the number one spot,

1199
01:01:18,199 --> 01:01:20,599
I think we all agree the best freshman in the

1200
01:01:20,599 --> 01:01:24,280
country was Malachi Tony for the Miami Hurricanes, given all

1201
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,239
the other talent they had on that team for him

1202
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,519
to be that good, they're balling out in the playoffs.

1203
01:01:28,599 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: But the fact that bear Bachmeier is.

1204
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,679
Speaker 5: Anything lower than three on this list just tells me

1205
01:01:32,719 --> 01:01:33,800
this list is a sham.

1206
01:01:34,079 --> 01:01:35,159
Speaker 1: Well, you gotta realize.

1207
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:40,239
Speaker 3: Okay, so you hear me say this often is I

1208
01:01:40,239 --> 01:01:45,679
ID eight. I theorize on the state of the human condition. Okay,

1209
01:01:46,119 --> 01:01:48,480
not to get too ethereal here, but I will say,

1210
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,599
we're only as good as our collective personal experiences and

1211
01:01:52,719 --> 01:01:56,480
anecdotes that we've aggregated over this over this earthly life,

1212
01:01:56,519 --> 01:01:58,360
this temporal state in which we live in, right Like,

1213
01:01:58,599 --> 01:02:00,880
we're just a conglomerate of all those things, and those.

1214
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: Are our truths. Who is Billy Tucker? I say the name,

1215
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:06,280
You're like, I don't know.

1216
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:11,679
Speaker 3: You only know Billy Tucker if you're in the recruiting game.

1217
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: He is the recruiting coordinator for ESPN Recruiting Nation. He

1218
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,280
is the director of the under Armor All America Game,

1219
01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:23,119
has been evaluating prospects at ESPN since two thousand and six,

1220
01:02:23,519 --> 01:02:27,840
So he is immersed in recruiting.

1221
01:02:28,639 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 3: Therefore, therefore, okay, anyone that is a higher rated recruit

1222
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,360
coming out of high school with upside and potential and

1223
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,800
all those things, they're gonna probably be rated a little

1224
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:42,440
bit higher than Beart.

1225
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:43,679
Speaker 1: Now, Bear was a good recruit.

1226
01:02:44,159 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 3: Bear has been viewed more so, I think sometimes as

1227
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:51,360
a kind of a unique prospect though in the recruiting game.

1228
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,079
He had great offers. But everyone there was a lot

1229
01:02:54,119 --> 01:02:55,800
of people when he was coming out of high school there,

1230
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,719
I don't know if he's a quarterback.

1231
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: They think he's a football player. There's a difference.

1232
01:03:01,639 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 3: Okay, It's like Taysom Hill wasn't necessarily a quarterback. He

1233
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,880
was a football player, best football player on the field

1234
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:09,519
many times.

1235
01:03:09,559 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: There is a difference.

1236
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,639
Speaker 3: And and so that's kind of how I feel about this. Obviously,

1237
01:03:14,719 --> 01:03:18,079
you have Malachai Tony and Oregon's Brandon Finty Junior.

1238
01:03:18,119 --> 01:03:19,559
Speaker 1: I mean, Finny Junior is awesome.

1239
01:03:20,119 --> 01:03:26,079
Speaker 3: The Jared Kahwei, you know, I understand statistically, I mean

1240
01:03:26,239 --> 01:03:29,679
he led all true freshman in the throw game three

1241
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,800
four and fifty four yards. He threw for eighteen touchdowns

1242
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:34,920
to nine interceptions and included three hundred and thirty yards

1243
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,320
and four scores to beat number twenty one SMU and

1244
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:40,559
the Golden Beers regular season finale. He also had an

1245
01:03:40,599 --> 01:03:45,559
overtime win versus number fifteen Louisville dramatic nail biders. You know, like,

1246
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,320
I get it, I understand a little bit of it,

1247
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:53,280
but I think collective statistics and record, like obviously Bear

1248
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,000
should be ahead of him. The one that I have

1249
01:03:55,159 --> 01:03:57,000
actually more of a The two that I have probably

1250
01:03:57,079 --> 01:03:59,239
issue with is Caleb Hawkins and DJ Picktt. But TJ

1251
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,679
picks A five are Caleb Hawkins is the unique one,

1252
01:04:03,079 --> 01:04:08,639
right like, but he had a very robust statistical output

1253
01:04:09,079 --> 01:04:11,840
versus his strength of schedule six two two hundred pounds

1254
01:04:12,039 --> 01:04:15,079
had almost fifteen hundred yards in Russian.

1255
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,199
Speaker 1: Which is that's that's pretty that's pretty impressive.

1256
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 3: If anything, I would say Caleb and DJ Pickett is

1257
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,920
where I'm at. I understand you can make an argument

1258
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,039
for Jaron, but he probably should. Bear should be number three.

1259
01:04:27,159 --> 01:04:31,599
Speaker 1: You're spot on, You're spot on, but check the source

1260
01:04:32,159 --> 01:04:35,880
and why there's some bias there. It's a valid argument.

1261
01:04:36,039 --> 01:04:36,840
Check the source.

1262
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 3: It's just like Joel Klatt going on record yesterday and saying,

1263
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,880
you know, it shouldn't that the that ESPN is should

1264
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:50,360
there shouldn't be a sole provider of broadcast broadcasting platforms

1265
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:51,519
for the Coas Football playoffs.

1266
01:04:51,599 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 5: Just say you want to call the game, Joel, just

1267
01:04:54,039 --> 01:04:56,000
tell us. We know that's what it is, and we

1268
01:04:56,079 --> 01:04:58,360
all respect you for saying that with them.

1269
01:04:58,519 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's never some reason like like when Brady

1270
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,840
comes on and says, hey, like, look, i'm his brother,

1271
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,199
Kelly Pepina is my brother, Like I'm gonna I'm gonna like,

1272
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,159
I'm gonna give him a big Cougar row, Like, yeah,

1273
01:05:09,159 --> 01:05:11,000
you're always gonna take it with a grave salt because

1274
01:05:11,039 --> 01:05:15,079
there's that personal relationship not it. But you can't throw

1275
01:05:15,119 --> 01:05:17,760
out everything. It's like, there's truth in what joe'clat's saying. Yes,

1276
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,400
and I understand what Billy Tucker's saying too with some

1277
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:21,000
of these things.

1278
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fine. You just have to read between the lines.

1279
01:05:23,519 --> 01:05:25,679
That's why we read between the lines here on Cougar Sports.

1280
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:27,599
Speaker 3: We're gonna give you all of it, gonna give you

1281
01:05:27,719 --> 01:05:30,760
we gotta thin slice that bad boy Malcolm Gladwell style.

1282
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:31,440
