24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,519
trash cans.

25
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 3: Away this morning, and the sunrise was coming up over

26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,359
that eastern washsat Front. And I sometimes when I am

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,359
in the mood for the beauty of the earth, for

28
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:28,480
the beauty of the earth, I'll take a stroll around

29
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:30,680
the Coulda sac and go nice and slow. Sometimes I

30
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,799
bet you Ronnie's seen me do it before, and I'll

31
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:36,680
just have a long, hard look at American four Canyon

32
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:39,519
and just take it all in. And I'll sometimes take

33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,560
a picture on posting and I just get overwhelmed with

34
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,200
gratitude for living here in the great State of Utahs

35
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:46,840
and Arizona.

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: Boy, I did not have the mountains. I did not

37
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:50,480
have the mountains growing up.

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,359
Speaker 3: I had a lot of hot you know, summers and

39
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:56,200
fantastic winters down there. Not a whole lot of snow, obviously,

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,400
just the the frost sometimes on the grass. They're in

41
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:05,280
the great State of Arizona. But truly a beautiful site

42
00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:08,759
this morning and into this afternoon. As we've got beautiful snow, we.

43
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Got moisture, baby. And as we know here along the

44
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:12,560
Watah Front.

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: Our pioneers, our forefathers, they have prayed for moisture since

46
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,560
the beginning of this, this inception, this when since Brigham said,

47
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:27,080
this is the place we've been praying for the moisture and.

48
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:30,879
Speaker 1: We finally got some here in the valley. So appreciate

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,199

Speaker 4: The wife and myself have also taking the walk as well.

95
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,600

if you need any orthopedic or sports medicine device use

118
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,319
or frozenne dot com Bren what's the breaking news?

119
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,399
Speaker 1: Heather Dinnich this morning on Get Up on ESPN. My

120
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,560
sense in talking to sources is there's more momentum now

121
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,319
more than ever to go to a sixteen team field,

122
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:27,319
possibly as soon as twenty twenty six, if SEC Commissioner

123
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:30,519
Greg Sanki and Big Ten Commissioner Tony Pazziti can agree

124
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,079
to it, and right now that stalemate still exists. Those

125
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,879
two men have the bulk of control over the future format.

126
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:38,759
The deadline is at the end of the month in

127
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,120
order to change it if they are going to If

128
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,160
they cannot agree, it will stay at twelve for now. However,

129
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,600
what do we know sitting here on a Friday morning.

130
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,680
We are in a third straight year where the Sea

131
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,759
yes excluded for the National Championship, which means Greg Sankie

132
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,800
is sitting how in the world am I gonna get

133
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:00,879
more teams? Into the national Championship. Well, so even when

134
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,639
I had five teams, I still couldn't dominate the Arsenal Championship.

135
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,399
So now I have to move the playoff to sixteen

136
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,319
teams so that I can have a better chance. Heather Dnich,

137
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,720
who was basically the unofficial spokesperson for the Collegetball Playoff Committe,

138
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:19,199
is saying there is more momentum now than ever to

139
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,279
move this thing to sixteen teams, which, if you'll remember,

140
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,480
that would have been good enough for bou to get

141
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:26,560
into the playoff this year and would have been good

142
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,319
enough for them to get in last year. So BYU,

143
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,839
good news for them and anybody else really, who's in

144
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:35,160
college football who's been snubbed because the SEC has a

145
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,240
stranglehold on this committee.

146
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 5: Texas, Michigan, USC being That's all I can think of.

147
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,600
They just want to keep extending they've been to fit

148
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,639
their narrative. But it ain't gonna happen. It ain't gonna happen. Well,

149
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,560
it's gonna be expanded. Yeah, yeah, there's no doubt. I

150
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,519
remember this was December sixth, just about a month ago.

151
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,839
Greg Sankey went on to the SEC network.

152
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: Okay, and you know they got five in which was

153
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,240
completely a worst half, so stupid.

154
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: And he said this, this is so, this shows you

155
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:20,839
just how how corrupt. How it's either corruption or it's

156
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:25,360
just incompetence, Like it's one of the two.

157
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: Like you're either like you're either part of that cartel

158
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,639
and you're like, I will not give up my power.

159
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,839
I will not give up my my oly gopical power, right,

160
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:39,160
my cartel, my cabal power, or you know you're just

161
00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:41,600
you know, incompetent.

162
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: And you tell me which one of this is. I

163
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:43,439
don't know.

164
00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: He was asking not for five, not for six, but

165
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000
for seven teams to be included in the College Football Playoff.

166
00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:55,360
Listen to him as he pontificates on this with Marty

167
00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:55,720
and McGee.

168
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 6: I think we'll see a quality football game with two

169
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:01,000
teams and how high quality wins.

170
00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: One of them actually won a game.

171
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 6: The best win on the record this year is Alabama's

172
00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:08,839
win over Georgia at Georgia, the third ranked team in

173
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:11,639
the nation. Because one and two have no losses, so

174
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:14,600
I focus on the opportunity and I think their participation

175
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,360
in the College Football Playoff is clear, but we're gonna

176
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,360
have to see what happens today. I actually think we

177
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,279
deserve seven in. I think the seven teams that are

178
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:25,879
in the top fourteen, half of the top top fourteen

179
00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:28,759
teams are from the SEC. That's an indication that this

180
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:32,600
league is different. The expectations are different, the competition is different,

181
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,600
and the rewards should respect.

182
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: Each of those elements. It just means more in the SEC,

183
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:44,879
more cheating, more ways to just keep it in house

184
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:45,799
is what they want.

185
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,879
Speaker 3: So, yeah, they're going to be pretty aggressive in the

186
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,480
expansions that they can continue to get five teams in.

187
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,759
But you hope that the data right. You hope that

188
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,559
the bowl games right that where they have to face

189
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:05,879
a power for football team that over the last three years,

190
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:08,000
you pull the data from the last three years, it

191
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,519
doesn't look too good for the SEC. Yes they have

192
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,159
fallen from grace. Yes they still have good football teams. Obviously,

193
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,000
Ole Miss did not get blown out by Miami. Miami

194
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:21,679
barely got into the College Football Playoff, though barely by

195
00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:25,879
the skin of their teeth, all because Duke. They wouldn't

196
00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:30,480
be in realize Miami would not be in the College

197
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:34,799
Football Playoff had Virginia beat Duke, and that was a

198
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,200
close one by the skin of their teeth.

199
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,919
Speaker 1: They beat Virginia, so take it for what it is worth.

200
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 3: Obviously, Miami is a really good football team, very talented

201
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,399
football team.

202
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,919
Speaker 1: And well coached by coach Crystal Ball.

203
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: But when you take all the data into account, it's

204
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:59,200
hard to make any positive argument for the SEC getting

205
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,600
more than like three teams in this year, more than

206
00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:04,720
three teams in who should have been left out? Should

207
00:10:04,759 --> 00:10:08,759
Oklahoma and Alabama have been left out as an eight

208
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:11,120
to nine seed? Did Oklahoma deserve to be in?

209
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: Alabama definitely deserve to be in because they beat Georgia

210
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:24,200
and they played in the conference championship. All time, all time, Alabama,

211
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,639
there's no one who hates Alabama more on this planet

212
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,600
than you are, an SEC guy. You grew up in

213
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,799
the SEC. True, But if it's if it's between rooting

214
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:35,639
for the SEC or rooting against Alabama, I will root

215
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,799
against Alabama. They ruined my childhood and my adulthood. I

216
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,320
hate Alabama more than any single person on the face

217
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,360
of planet Earth. Alabama deserves to get in because they

218
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,279
played in the conference championship. I mean they deserve to

219
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,879
get more than Miami, because again, Miami was not even

220
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:53,120
good enough to play in a conference championship that had

221
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Duke in Virginia. So do with that? Which will I mean,

222
00:10:57,039 --> 00:10:59,120
obviously Miami's proving that they're good enough now, but if

223
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,960
we're talk about who should, the problem is the system

224
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,039
is not really set up perfectly. Which yeah, it's like

225
00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:09,000
our third year of our second year of doing a

226
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:10,960
twelve team, so like, yeah, we'll get better at it.

227
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,639
But it's not a perfect system, right, Yeah, you want.

228
00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 3: To give the competitive advantage to those that won football

229
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,159
games in the regular season, and they get to play

230
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:25,840
on their home field too, not in neutral settings, et cetera.

231
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:28,600
Unless you're gonna go tournament style right with regions, and

232
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:34,840
you're gonna be playing like in Orlando and in in

233
00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:38,080
Vegas for like a tournament style like a morning game,

234
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,039
afternoon game, etcetera. So it would be cool because then

235
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:43,360
you can buy a ticket and probably get into both games.

236
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,799
Speaker 1: It would be pretty cool. It'd be a pretty cool thing.

237
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:48,279
Speaker 3: But let me give you a little breakdown here before

238
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,480
we welcome in everybody else to the show. Conference Bowl

239
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,960
records through Fiesta Bowl. Now, the ACC is nine and four,

240
00:11:57,039 --> 00:11:58,720
the Big Ten is nine and four. The conference you

241
00:11:58,799 --> 00:12:00,960
essays four and three, America is five and four, Big

242
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
twelve is four and four. I believe MAC is two

243
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:07,000
and three, SUNBLT four and six. SEC is four and ten,

244
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,879
and by the way, one of those was against themselves.

245
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:12,799
I believe that they got to win Mountain West two

246
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,879
and five. College fotball playoff records ACC three and oh

247
00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:18,360
shout out to Miami Big ten three and one, SEC

248
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,200
three and five. American is on one, Big twelve oh one,

249
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,240
Sun Belt own one two wins and losses in SEC

250
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,200
versus SEC games. So that's kind of where we stand

251
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,120
right now. And yes, the SEC has fallen from grace

252
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:35,320
and it is great to see everyone coming to the

253
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:40,399
realization that I came to well over a year ago

254
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,720
when I started to tell you, look, the SEC wants

255
00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:48,759
to expand and just play themselves.

256
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: They're they're expanding in this.

257
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,919
Speaker 3: They're trying to justify just playing themselves so that they

258
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,240
can ultimately get it more teams into the playoff off

259
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:00,240
of the brand equity build over the last twenty five

260
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:00,879
thirty years.

261
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:02,639
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. That's what they're doing, and that

262
00:13:02,799 --> 00:13:05,759
is their intent. That is it and they're saying, well,

263
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,440
we produce this many championships and we've produced this many

264
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,279
NFL guys and YadA, YadA, YadA.

265
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: But that was built off of, as I told you yesterday,

266
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:21,919
car dealerships in the South, that we're willing to pay

267
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:26,240
what a low six figure income to these individuals.

268
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:27,159
Speaker 1: Does that make sense?

269
00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: A five figure income for a defensive end in the

270
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,840
SEC at the time over the last twenty five years.

271
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: That's how they did it, guys, and no one else

272
00:13:40,039 --> 00:13:40,879
was able to do it.

273
00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: Maybe we just couldn't figure out. Maybe we like to

274
00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:47,600
abide by rules. Maybe there was there were certain things

275
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,879
that we weren't privy to in the bag Man liquid

276
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,440
cash game, and.

277
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:55,879
Speaker 1: Or maybe the NCAA and the power brokers in the

278
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,720
ESPN to find no one wanted to be a whistleblower

279
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:01,080
in all of it. Anyway, We don't know everything of

280
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,840
why it happened, but we do know that it happened,

281
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,919
and we will not allow We will not sit by

282
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:13,559
and allow the SEC to leverage anymore going forward, their

283
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,879
brand equity that they build through Bagman in the South,

284
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,240
through car dealerships.

285
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,039
Speaker 3: Over the last twenty five years. I'm telling you we're

286
00:14:23,039 --> 00:14:28,200
not no more. We're taking a stint shoot even Johnny Manziel.

287
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,879
Do you remember his conversation with coach Kevin Sumlin. Kevin,

288
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,960
Someone's like, hey, we're gonna find a way to pay you.

289
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:35,279
Speaker 1: Was it a milli?

290
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,919
Speaker 3: It might have been a million to get per Johnny

291
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,120
Manziel to retain him for an addition here rather than

292
00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:44,000
going to the NFL. I don't know if you remember that.

293
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,159
He went on record in his documentary about that. At

294
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,879
any rate, we got a great show for you.

295

00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:05,720
Taylor today. He's going to do it right. All right,

335
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:08,480
let's get into some nitty gritty Walker Lions who had

336
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:13,640
been prognosticated promulgated as a one hundred crystal ball to BYU,

337
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:19,359
the four star tight end out of USC. He's coming

338
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:25,400
to Brigham Young University. Uh, tight end you at BYU

339
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:27,079
is back in.

340
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,799
Speaker 1: Business, Ladies and gentlemen.

341
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:36,799
Speaker 3: Carson Ryan had a fantastic season. Carson Ryan statistically had

342
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,920
his best season of his career. He's gonna get a

343
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,079
chance in the NFL now. The six foot four and

344
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:46,440
fifty pounder ended up tallying forty five receptions, six hundred

345
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,960
and twenty yards thirteen point eight yards per.

346
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: Reception, and three touchdowns.

347
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,279
Speaker 3: And he was on the field a lot, blocking, multifastted,

348
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,680
wholelistic human being on and off the football field. Carson

349
00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:04,319
Ryan transformed the BYU offense and BYU as an entity,

350
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,160
as a football program, as a university.

351
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,559
Speaker 1: I think transformed Carson as well.

352
00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:10,079
Speaker 3: And he wished probably he came to BYU a little

353
00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:12,039
bit sooner, and we wish he would have been at

354
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,480
BYU sooner as well. Walker Lion's gonna follow in his

355
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,359
foot footsteps. And remember Carson Ryan up to that point,

356
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:26,559
before arriving at BYU, had accumulated roughly the same amount

357
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,680
just slightly.

358
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,759
Speaker 1: Less, okay, like thirty receptions, five.

359
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,799
Speaker 3: Hundred or so yards, maybe a little less than that,

360
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:40,119
and four touchdowns in his career, kind of similar to

361
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:45,319
where Walker Lions is coming from at USC prior to

362
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,119
his arrival at BYU six foot four, two forty.

363
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,039
Speaker 1: Five, that looks similar.

364
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 3: Right at USC, the fourth Star has tally checked us

365
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,119
out twenty six receptions, two hundred and fifty nine yards,

366
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:04,279
ten yards per reception, and two touchdowns, so slightly less

367
00:19:04,319 --> 00:19:08,440
than what Carson had had aggregated in his career leading

368
00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:11,559
up to his jump to b YU. I foresee the

369
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:17,240
same similar If Walker can block, if he's willing to

370
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,079
put that hand in the dirt and be a full

371
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:26,960
fledged Okay, multifaceted tight end, in line, in flex, then

372
00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:29,799
he's gonna see the field and he's gonna have equivalency

373
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:33,759
of productivity. You gotta be willing. Everyone gets on a

374
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,440
rod about, you know, utilize the tight end. Guys, pull

375
00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:41,119
the stats. He used Isaac, especially when Isaac was helthy,

376
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,160
Isaac Rex healthy, Isaac Rex before the ankle injury. That

377
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,599
dude was getting targeted. That dude was on the field

378
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,880
a lot, getting a lot of targets. But like everyone said,

379
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,039
well the Dallen Hooker didn't get enough targets, didn't get

380
00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:54,640
I get it.

381
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: He transferred, He went to Colorado State, went to the

382
00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:58,480
NFL for a season. Now he's retired.

383
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would have loved to have maintained, retained Dallan

384
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,400
Hooker tremendous talent.

385
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: I get it.

386
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 3: But when you're healthy and you're willing to do both roles,

387
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,599
block and run routes. If you can be in line

388
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,079
and flex, if you can stock block, you can block

389
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,680
defensive ends, Okay, then you're gonna see.

390
00:20:19,559 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: The field a lot.

391
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,519
Speaker 3: In this offense, you're gonna be targeted, just like Carson

392
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:25,400
Ryan was, Just like Isaac Rex was when he was

393
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:29,680
prior to his injury. So guys, your reaction Brent always

394
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:30,880
bringing the hammer hammer time.

395
00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: Walker Lions, the four star.

396
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,839
Speaker 3: Tight end, the brother of Ryder Lions, Brider Lions, is committed.

397
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,960
He's been called to serve. He's gonna be serving one

398
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:41,960
year LDS mission before returning. He wants to throw some

399
00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:45,279
tuddies to his brother Walker and hopefully he gets that opportunity.

400
00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: I just want the tight end at bou to be

401
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,480
great again. It is great, And let me let me preface,

402
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,599
I love Carson Ryan. There is nothing I wouldn't do

403
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,119
to storm the NCAA headquarters and find a way to

404
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,519
get Carson Ryan another year. I'm so bummed that we

405
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,880
only got one year with him and that clearly UCLA

406
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,079
and Utah missed out on what they had. And I

407
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,359
just I think back to the Isaac Rex times when

408
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,240
like you knew you were just gonna have big, mean

409
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,200
machine at the tight end position, the gazelle just running

410
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,400
down the field making one hand catches against Arkansas, and

411
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:25,240
I missed going into the offseason knowing, man, we got

412
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,279
a bad at tight end and we have some great

413
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,759
guys in the room, but we don't have a star

414
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,400
at the tight end position. Then we get to look

415
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,799
forward to next year, and I'm hoping that that gets

416
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,160
to be Walker Lions again, guy coming from this other

417
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,000
California school to Byu, who's gonna have an even better

418
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,759
year in his first year at BOU than he did

419
00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:47,920
the year before. Similar to what ul line with Carson Ryan,

420
00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:50,200
it would be awesome to see Walker Lions do that.

421
00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:53,519
It would be even cooler for a couple of years

422
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,519
down the line. Rider and Walker get to have that connection,

423
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:00,319
which that would be pretty unreal to go from Bear

424
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,759
Bachmeyer to a Tiger Meyer Bachmeyer connection, to a Rider

425
00:22:04,839 --> 00:22:07,680
Lions to a Walker Lions connection. I just thought about

426
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,160
that right now. That would be pretty sweet. Just brothers

427
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,599
playing ball. That'd be a pretty unreal connection. But I

428
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,759
like Romney, Oh yeah, yeah, that's true. The brothers be

429
00:22:18,839 --> 00:22:22,160
catching passes from one another. What I love about this

430
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,160
most though, and Ron and I had this conversation. You

431
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:31,920
almost had Jaren Hall to It was close. What I

432
00:22:32,079 --> 00:22:37,400
am hoping for Byu is that like serious upgrade I

433
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,599
think offensively, I don't know that. I if I think

434
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,680
about offense and defense in which one I feel like

435
00:22:42,839 --> 00:22:45,119
needs more of an upgrade, I think defense will be okay,

436
00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:47,480
especially when you talk about all the guys that are

437
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,480
coming back. You got guys coming through in the recruiting class,

438
00:22:50,519 --> 00:22:52,680
like boy is gonna be great. I'm sure they'll land

439
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,519
a couple splash transfers, but to me, your splash transfer

440
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,319
needs to come in the BYU pass game. Run game.

441
00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:01,880
I think will be fine as well. Bear Bachmeyer, l J. Martin,

442
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:04,880
Devon Ekka, and maybe you get a guy in the portal.

443
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,160
But I felt like last year, especially in those Texas

444
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,319
Tech games, as awesome and as Parker and Chase were,

445
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,480
you felt like if they had had one more piece

446
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:19,319
in that pass game, that that was somewhere that they

447
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,759
felt like if they had that, they would be up

448
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:24,200
a whole o their tier in college football. So I

449
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:27,319
love that our first two commits in the transfer portal

450
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,440
are a wide receiver and a tight end, and hopefully

451
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:34,000
long term the tight end great again at you AU,

452
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,759
I'd love to see it. Next year. You'll have I

453
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,039
believe Anthony Olsen there.

454
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,839
Speaker 3: You'll have Will Sundell, You'll have Noah Muayaki, Cole Clement,

455
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,480
and Kean Need maybe Jacob and I will see if

456
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,799
there's any any mix ups there.

457
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,559
Speaker 1: Ethan Wood will also be in the mix. Obviously.

458
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 3: Walker Lions will be an air apparent to the Y

459
00:23:58,079 --> 00:24:01,279
one tight end one position right there next to Key

460
00:24:01,319 --> 00:24:03,519
and ned Ken needs a really good blocking tight end

461
00:24:03,559 --> 00:24:06,480
and he has some ability as well. The new Mexico transfer.

462
00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:11,200
But another guy coming off of mission, Matthew Frederick. Maybe

463
00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:13,359
keep an eye on him. How good will he be?

464
00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:15,799
Is he a guy that can come off a mission

465
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,680
and play for BYU? I want to say he committed

466
00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:24,680
back in twenty twenty two and signed in twenty twenty three.

467
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: I gotta get an update on him.

468
00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:28,279
Speaker 3: I don't know where he's at right now, but I'm like, hey,

469
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,440
is he going to be coming back anyway? We'll try

470
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,200
to keep an eye on that and maybe do a

471
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,680
little bit of due diligence that on him. But the

472
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:40,119
tight end is back, baby, Walker Lions is back. BYU

473
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,079
has signed USC tight end transfer Walker Lions, and multiple

474
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,680
sources have confirmed was a part of the twenty twenty

475
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,519
three class. He was a top one hundred and fifteen

476
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,720
overall recruit, had twenty catches and two touchdowns for the

477
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:56,279
Trojans this past season. Can't wait to see what Walker

478
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:02,119
Lions can do at BYU, and hopefully he can connect

479
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,359
with Ryder after his mission. I think the idealic thing,

480
00:25:05,519 --> 00:25:09,920
right is, can Bear Bachmeyer be a two season and

481
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,839
done go to the NFL? Do you think he's that guy?

482
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,200
Do you think Bear is built to be a two

483
00:25:16,319 --> 00:25:22,079
season quarterback in order to open up that opportunity for

484
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,839
Ryder and Walker to be able to connect on the

485
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,559
football field, brother to brother, keeping it in the family.

486
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,279
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so. And that's not like

487
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,839
a that's not a shot at Bear. I just think

488
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,240
ideally what happens is Ryder comes home from a mission,

489
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,000
hangs out for a year, learns everything, and then plays. However,

490
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,079
in the world of college athletics in which we now live,

491
00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:53,519
everybody wants to play as a freshman, especially those top

492
00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:57,279
one hundred guys. So how that plays out, I don't know.

493
00:25:57,599 --> 00:26:01,839
Maybe Ryder comes in and is somehow better that I don't.

494
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,160
I don't know how that thing works out. It's a problem,

495
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,480
I or not really a problem, but a situation. I

496
00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:09,079
don't really want to think too much about it until

497
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:10,680
I don't want to cross that bridge until we come

498
00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:14,240
to it. But yeah, it could be interesting to see

499

one O three nine ninety eight point three.

516
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,759
Speaker 2: Is just like the Cougar football team. Ben Krittle was built,

517
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:11,079
not born, and since two thousand and nineties built himself

518
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,880

519
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,480

Speaker 1: One three, nine ninety eight three ESPN The Fan.

522
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, Buddy, Cougar Nation, right of the Valkyries, Baby, Richard

523
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,519
Wagner bringing.

524
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:37,079
Speaker 1: Us back from the break. I feel like we're we're

525
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,799
engaging in a new era of BYU football. Just signed

526
00:27:40,839 --> 00:27:43,559
a receiver commitment from a four star.

527
00:27:44,759 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: The best recruiting we've done is the retention, the retention

528
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:52,759
of our roster, the retention of our culture, the retention

529
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,799
of our coaching staff minus j Hill in general and losses,

530
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,519
no doubt, but I think we retained a lot and

531
00:27:59,759 --> 00:28:05,720
uh retaining Gary Anderson, Kellip Papinga and that defensive staff.

532
00:28:05,759 --> 00:28:06,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna hire from within.

533
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 3: We're gonna get into some soundbites from Kelly Papinga later on,

534
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:12,440
he caught up with Big Sports Nation. A couple of things,

535
00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:15,240
A couple of gems he put out there are that

536
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:18,200
Evan Johnson should be coming back.

537
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:22,839
Speaker 1: We'll get him signed, He'll delivered. Figures crossed would be great.

538
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,839
Speaker 3: Like my hope is that Wesley Johnson is retained as

539
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,440
either an analyst or a graduate assistant, that is, the

540
00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:32,799
brother of Evan Johnson on the staff.

541
00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: And that would be a boon for BYU.

542
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,519
Speaker 3: Still to be determined who your Safety's coach is going

543
00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:40,640
to be working alongside Tomorio Warren.

544
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,559
Speaker 1: There's plenty of candidates out there.

545
00:28:44,079 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: Kelly Papinga stated he had over almost like two hundred

546
00:28:47,079 --> 00:28:52,640
text messages from coaches wanting to apply to coach at BYU.

547
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,640
There's interest goalore at coaching at BYU.

548
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,279
Speaker 1: So we're riding. We're riding baby right at the Valkyries.

561
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:48,319
posed to cougarnation. So if if your entire roster, like

562
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:53,160
your key position players are all retained. Does that get

563
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:58,519
you more hyped than any acquisition? You know, name an

564
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:01,039
acquisition that you want right now?

565
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,359
Speaker 1: Right? Who do you want? Right?

566
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: There's been a Michigan quarterback that has been listed as

567
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:12,599
a He's gonna take a visit to BYU, right. Is

568
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,200
there an acquisition that's gonna get you more hyped, more

569
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,920
amped than the retention.

570
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: I'd like Dylan Edwards. It's not really feasible or possible

571
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,240
because there's no way he wants to come and be

572
00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:28,920
Robin to LJS Batman. But I would like a nothing back. Yeah,

573
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,680
i'd like I'd like a running back or like well,

574
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,799
the other one i'd really like, again not gonna happen.

575
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,440
I'd love Auburn's Cam Coleman as like just a bona

576
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:41,160
fide best receiver in the country. But to your question,

577
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,519
the answer should be no. There should be no acquisition

578
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,720
that gets you as excited as retaining all of your players. However,

579
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,200
what you have to understand is we live in a

580
00:30:56,279 --> 00:31:00,359
mean not We we live in a instant gratification type

581
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,319
of world where the news on social media of who

582
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:05,079
you're picking up in the portal and who you're picking

583
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:10,279
up recruiting wise, is just frankly a higher dopamine rush

584
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,240
than finding out that all your guys are coming back.

585
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:20,359
I do think, however, the story of BYU able to

586
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,920
retain all of these individuals, I think, frankly it's the

587
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,519
story of the year right now in the transfer portal

588
00:31:27,599 --> 00:31:30,960
in college football, because you don't see this at any

589
00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:34,519
other program, especially when you have guys who not only

590
00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:37,920
are avoiding going into the portal, there are guys avoiding

591
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,599
going to the NFL. And so it's just pretty unreal

592
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:44,440
to see all of these guys retained and come back,

593
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:47,720
and maybe BYU fans feel like, no, this is just

594
00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:52,759
the norm, because BYU is different, but in a weird way.

595
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,799
This also, this almost ties my brain back to when

596
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,440
AJ says going to BYU is more than just about money.

597
00:32:01,079 --> 00:32:03,480
I look at this and I say, you can't tell

598
00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:06,480
me Isaiah Glaster is not being offered by somebody to

599
00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:08,759
hop in the portal. You can't tell me LJ. Martin

600
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,640
is not being offered by somebody to hop into the portal.

601
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:17,240
And so it really makes you believe that conversation that

602
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,400
it's more about money, because if it was just about

603
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,039
the money. There's plenty of schools who want to go

604
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,400
after guys like Isaiah and guys like LJ and probably

605
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,240
even guys like Bear. The fact that BYU has been

606
00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:35,720
able to retain all of these players, I mean, that's

607
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:39,480
the story. To me, that's a bigger story than all

608
00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:42,240
of the acquisitions Texas Tech has. That is the biggest

609
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,960
story in the Big twelve in my opinion. It shows

610
00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:49,559
that BYU's built a little bit different. Now.

611
00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 3: I do think Texas Tech, it has a really good culture.

612
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:56,160
Tell oh yeah, it's a football culture. It's a meritocracy,

613
00:32:56,599 --> 00:32:59,559
it's a faith, family football type of culture. Is the

614
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:04,480
Texas you know, a true Texas, the non entitled Texas culture,

615
00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:08,920
right like Texas is Hollywood, you t's Hollywood, and it

616
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,279
has been. There's a reason why they have not been

617
00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:14,680
successful until Sark took it over, right because he brought

618
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,559
in a little bit of what he learned in USC

619
00:33:18,079 --> 00:33:20,119
and the follies of it at you dumb, he learned

620
00:33:20,119 --> 00:33:23,799
a lot from Saban, you know, taking that with him.

621
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,400
It's not an entitled culture there right now at Texas.

622
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,519
But I would say Texas Tech really embodies encapsulates the

623
00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:37,039
high school football culture, the faith family football of Texas

624
00:33:37,599 --> 00:33:41,119
that allows you to have continuity, chemistry and good, healthy,

625
00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:43,799
strong culture in a traditional sense.

626
00:33:44,119 --> 00:33:44,839
Speaker 1: Does that make sense?

627
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,799
Speaker 3: Where yes, they are paying guys, They're they're definitely paying guys,

628
00:33:47,839 --> 00:33:51,519
but they've been pretty strategic about who they're willing to

629
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,160
pay right, who they're willing to pay and who they're

630
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,920
They're they're gonna be strategic and very particularly.

631
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,279
Speaker 1: About who they want to bring in.

632
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,799
Speaker 3: Out of all the players that have been retained thus

633
00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:04,400
far on Biway's roster, who who are you most amped about?

634
00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:04,960
Is it Bear?

635
00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: Is it lj Is it Isaiah Glasker? Will it be

636
00:34:09,039 --> 00:34:10,280
schmev Right?

637
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 3: Like these most irreplaceable players, Like even losing like a

638
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,000
guy like Bruce Mitchell could have been pretty devastating to eyu,

639
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:19,599
you know what I mean?

640
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,559
Speaker 1: Who do you got and why? Yeah? I I think

641
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:27,000
Trey Alexander deserves a lot of credit, Like he deserves

642
00:34:27,039 --> 00:34:29,599
to be on this list, and the reason he deserves

643
00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:31,239
on the list. I'm sure there's a lot of people wondering,

644
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,400
why wouldn't you say Aljier or Isaiah? The reason Trey

645
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,880
deserves to be on the list is because of something

646
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,440
Kelly Popinga told Spencer and Jerema's Sports Nation today, which

647
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:44,840
is the second Jay Hill left Trey, Alexander texted coach

648
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,199
Popinga and he said, don't worry, coach, I'm not going anywhere,

649
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,960
and I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure

650
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,360
none of these guys are leaving. Nobody's going, We're all staying.

651
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,559
We're all coming back next year. Trey was actively recruiting

652
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:56,840
everybody on this team. Now, where any of those guys

653
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,719
are gonna leave anyway, I don't know, but Trey deserves

654
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,159
a lot of credit for do the recruiting, to ask

655
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,599
all of these guys to say, and then then after that,

656
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,400
I think it probably comes down to LJ or Isaiah.

657
00:35:10,559 --> 00:35:12,159
And the only reason I say that is because there

658
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,719
was no part of me that ever thought bear Bachmeier

659
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,280
was hitting the portal like. I don't think that guy

660
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,800
gives a rip about anything that's not ball, and I

661
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,960
don't think he cares about who's trying to get him

662
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,360
to go to another school. He doesn't care about the portal.

663
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,320
I'm shocked he even said that he was coming back,

664
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,400
but he is, and we're grateful. Honestly, to me, I

665
00:35:32,559 --> 00:35:38,880
think it's Isaiah Glasker only because a linebacker who can

666
00:35:39,039 --> 00:35:42,280
move as fast as he can move, who can rush

667
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,079
the way that he can rush, and who can just

668
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:50,119
do everything on defense basically is so rare. It would

669
00:35:50,119 --> 00:35:54,440
be an unbelievable talent in the NFL. For Isaiah Glasger

670
00:35:54,559 --> 00:35:58,679
to come back is huge, especially because where would you

671
00:35:59,039 --> 00:36:03,440
you have good line but without Isaiah and without Jack,

672
00:36:03,519 --> 00:36:06,960
you'd be in a really rough spot. I think for me,

673
00:36:07,159 --> 00:36:10,679
it's it's it's a big deal for Isaiah Glasser coming back.

674
00:36:12,519 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 3: Vic Are you want to chime in on this, because

675
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,079
I mean, you keep on acting, keep acting like you're

676
00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:18,639
gonna talk to me, but then you don't have a

677
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,079
microphone in front of your face.

678
00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:23,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I gotta go with l J.

679
00:36:23,679 --> 00:36:26,679
Speaker 7: Come on, I mean, you take away LJ from that offense,

680
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,519
and right now, who you have on the on the squad,

681
00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:32,360
you don't really have anybody that's gonna come in there

682
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,679
and and protect Bear. When I say protect Bear, obviously

683
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,360
he's gonna open up the passing game. Like I mean

684
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,519
when I when I heard he's coming back, it's.

685
00:36:43,519 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: Just they're top ten. Yeah, they're top ten. Well you

686
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:47,679
do see the.

687
00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 3: The fact that LJ was not available in that Georgia

688
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:59,880
Tech game, and that uh that bear Bachmeyer was limited

689
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,960
with that high ankle spray and on his left leg,

690
00:37:03,159 --> 00:37:05,639
you didn't really have much red zone running ability. You

691
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,639
brought in McKay you thought he could maybe get off tackle.

692
00:37:08,679 --> 00:37:10,920
By the way, McKay hill said, has committed to Utah State.

693
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,440
Who's running back. That's a that's a good choice for him.

694
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,079
That's a really good choice for him. He's gonna go

695
00:37:17,159 --> 00:37:19,159
be the starter there, no doubt about it. And he

696
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,599
gets to stay home, he gets to stay close to

697
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,159
family and uh probably create a legacy there, like you know,

698
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,199
the prodigal son is returned. By the way, Isaac Wilson

699
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,840
backup quarterback at the University of Utah one. We're starting

700
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,840
quarterback just a season ago under coach Ludwig. He's committed

701
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:42,679
to the University of Colorado coach Prime. So some two

702
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,840
guys that have similar skill sets going to uh, you know,

703
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,599
two schools that are are close to the Great State

704
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,159
or where they were before, like Utah, Uh not too

705
00:37:53,199 --> 00:37:55,159
far away from Boulder right now, Salt Lake City not

706
00:37:55,239 --> 00:38:00,320
too far away from Boulder anyway. So your your reviewing.

707
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:04,599
You know, the the retention and you gotta be hyped

708
00:38:04,639 --> 00:38:08,760
like like as I'm looking at the totality abuse, like

709
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,840
obviously Bear and LJ if they were to leave, if

710
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,679
they had not come back, I don't know. I think

711
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,920
some people would have been perfectly fine if LJ went

712
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,679
to the NFL, like, hey, it sucks, right, that stinks

713
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,320
that we lost them. If you lost them to the Portal,

714
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,880
you lost them to another team, that would have really hurt.

715
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: That would have been significant. It's hard to argue with

716
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:31,760
Bear or LJ.

717
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 3: But if BYU retains Evan Johnson, a true CB one,

718
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,639
I'm telling you right now, it's hard to find a

719
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,280
true field cover corner that has NFL talent with that

720
00:38:46,559 --> 00:38:52,280
so rarity. In fact, you have probably more wide receivers

721
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,519
that have been produced at BYU that naked in the

722
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:58,639
league and have success in the league than you do cornerbacks.

723
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: Last one was Michael Davis.

724
00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:04,679
Speaker 3: Michael Davis, And what's crazy about Mike is he wasn't

725
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,320
really that good of a corner in college. Like he

726
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:13,760
was okay, was like he became a great NFL corner

727
00:39:14,679 --> 00:39:18,679
in the NFL. In the NFL because he was long,

728
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,519
he could run. Remember, he was like a ten to

729
00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:24,320
five one hundred meter guy, similar to Evan Johnson. Now,

730
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,840
I think Mike maybe a little bit taller, a little

731
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:27,280
bit longer.

732
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: He's probably six', Two evan's probably more like six foot six.

733
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 3: One but to, me Retaining Evan, johnson As Kelly pepinga

734
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,400
mentioned that he felt like he was coming, back that

735
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,039
he would be retained is. Massive remember the impact That

736
00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:47,960
Jacob robinson. Had Jacob robinson we've. Had we're having back

737
00:39:48,039 --> 00:39:51,079
to BACK nfl corner cb one's that can play in

738
00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:54,119
the league and just great play.

739
00:39:56,079 --> 00:39:59,199
Speaker 1: That is, unique that is difficult to do every.

740
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,559
Speaker 3: Way and you got to give credit obviously To, Gennaro

741
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,199
there's no doubt about. That you, go you want to

742
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,559
give credit To gennaro because he's been there since twenty,

743
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,519
sixteen has been a part of the lives of some

744
00:40:09,639 --> 00:40:13,840
of these cornerbacks that have balled out For. Brigham but,

745
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,079
remember if they're retained and they want to be a

746
00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:19,760
part OF, byu you GOTTA byu as an.

747
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: Institution.

748
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: Credit you gotta Give kilate a ton of. Credit you

749
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,039
gotta Give Kelly pepinga a ton of. Credit, THERE i

750
00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:28,960
get hyped About Evan johnson. RETURNING i can't wait for

751
00:40:29,159 --> 00:40:32,480
that to happen because that changes the way you play.

752
00:40:32,599 --> 00:40:36,039
Defense Kelly pepinga IS q AND a With jerem And

753
00:40:36,119 --> 00:40:40,360
spencer mentioned that one of the benefits of playing or

754
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,360
coaching With Jay hill was that he learned a lot about.

755
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,039
Speaker 1: Man, free which is single high safety and then cover.

756
00:40:47,159 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 3: Three so the reason why this is important, is you,

757
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,239
know you get a three high look after the, snap

758
00:40:54,599 --> 00:40:57,639
you can disguise. Things these Are these ARE i call

759
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:03,039
them pairing. Coverages cover, Two cover, four And cover six

760
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,679
are pairing. Coverages and what that means is you can

761
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,119
show a pre snap read and roll into any one

762
00:41:10,199 --> 00:41:15,480
of those. Three in A cover three And cover, one

763
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,199
you can show either one of those pre snap and

764
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:22,159
roll into the. Other so it's it's under the guise

765
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:26,440
of it's it looks it seems, complex but it's. Simplistic

766
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,719
you just have to roll into, it give a pre

767
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,480
snap look and then roll into. It you can play off.

768
00:41:32,559 --> 00:41:34,920
Man you can show a three high look and play off.

769
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:39,679
Man you can you can show A cover one look

770
00:41:40,119 --> 00:41:42,679
and bail Into cover three if you're if you have

771
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,480
a good quarter, anyway What i'm saying Is it allows

772
00:41:45,519 --> 00:41:47,639
you to just do more and it's not all about

773
00:41:47,679 --> 00:41:48,320
just cover zero.

774
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: Guys everyone's, like, yeah man man coverage all.

775
00:41:51,559 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 3: Day, no you want to balance it out and you

776
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,400
want to create hesitancy of the quarterback so that they

777
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,760
don't know exactly What remember When Shiurr sanders came off

778
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:02,920
the field was talking with drivers AND.

779
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going, On, LIKE i don't you,

780
00:42:05,559 --> 00:42:09,360
know you have no idea like seeing. Ghosts you're seeing, ghosts,

781
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:10,239
right that's what you.

782
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 3: Want And Evan, Johnson Jacob, robinson those are the type

783
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,400
of corners that are that are great football, players that

784
00:42:18,519 --> 00:42:23,079
are extremely, intelligent that know how to disguise coverages and

785
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:28,360
disguise their techniques to be able to maximize efficacy on

786
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,119
the back end of your. Defense SO i get, HYPED

787
00:42:31,159 --> 00:42:33,239
i get, lit And i'm a former, corner, RIGHT i

788
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:37,119
know exactly how difficult unless you have played the corner

789
00:42:37,199 --> 00:42:41,039
position or try to cover someone that go out there

790
00:42:41,079 --> 00:42:46,199
with your friends equivalency of, athleticism a friend or family

791
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:53,760
member and give them a twenty by twenty like rectangle a, square,

792
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,199
right like to run around and get open and see

793
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,679
if you can cover. Them someone that you are equivalent

794
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:06,039
in athleticism, too and they will roast you probably ninety

795
00:43:06,199 --> 00:43:07,039
five percent of the.

796
00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 1: Time they're gonna be they're gonna. Win you give them

797
00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:13,320
five second three to five seconds to get, open they're gonna.

798
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,880
Win they're they're gonna. Win and, like just go and

799
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,000
do it as a test because it's the most physically

800
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:27,480
athletically difficult. Position AND i believe all of sport like

801
00:43:27,599 --> 00:43:30,960
everyone sayd, well no, Basketball, like, no it's, refined it's.

802
00:43:31,039 --> 00:43:33,679
Speaker 3: Refined, yeah you can screen a little. BIT i understand,

803
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:38,000
that but it is so difficult to cover in open,

804
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:42,559
space is very very. Difficult when they have two way,

805
00:43:42,679 --> 00:43:47,239
gos three way, goes they can go anywhere. Anyway Evan

806
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,880
johnson would be a huge boon FOR, byu in my,

807
00:43:51,039 --> 00:43:54,719
opinion be. Massive so we'll get to that sound maybe later.

808
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,400
On but, uh after listening TO k, pop what were

809
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,119
your main takeaways from THAT q AND a with?

810
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 1: Him just that he's. READY i had a couple of

811
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,719
fans reach out to me and, GO i don't know

812
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,800
About KELLY. Popinga he doesn't really have the, EXPERIENCE i

813
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,719
don't think in order to do this. JOB i, think,

814
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,760
frankly what a lot of fans are feeling is he's

815
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,679
Not Jay, hill which is. Valid he's Not Jay. Hill,

816
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:25,039
however he is a big part of this. Defense it's

817
00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:27,679
not like he was working on a different project and

818
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,119
he's showing up at work today, Saying, hey where CAN

819
00:44:30,159 --> 00:44:31,719
i feel and how CAN i help with this UNTIL

820
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,119
i get up to. Speed he's been on this project

821
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,679
for a long. Time he's been the defensive ends. Coach

822
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,679
and the takeaway THAT i got from the interview yesterday

823
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,760
was or from today was JUST K pop making me feel, Like,

824
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:52,480
hey nothing's, Changing it's gonna be. Okay and, frankly the

825
00:44:52,599 --> 00:44:56,440
only REASON i would be concerned is if guys weren't coming.

826
00:44:56,519 --> 00:45:01,039
Back if guys are coming, back If KEANU I, trey

827
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,920
if all follows, out all these guys are coming, back

828
00:45:04,159 --> 00:45:07,800
not solely just because they love the mountains and they

829
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,079
love going To Ranch rito's down there On Center. Street

830
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,039
the reason they're coming back is because they know who

831
00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:16,159
they're playing for and they want to play for, him

832
00:45:16,639 --> 00:45:20,599
and SO K pop coming back it's a big deal

833
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:26,000
AND i feel really really good about. It he reminds

834
00:45:26,079 --> 00:45:28,840
me Of Jay hill just listening to. Him, yeah he's

835
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:29,400
a players.

836
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,039
Speaker 7: Coach you know his personality is a lot Like, jay

837
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,639
but the most important is those players love.

838
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 3: Him, Yeah viig really good. Points one of the gems

839
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,519
THAT i took away from that. Conversation we'll get into it.

840
00:45:44,599 --> 00:45:47,599
Later AS i, mentioned but he was the. Coach when

841
00:45:47,599 --> 00:45:51,119
you're the special teams, coordinator you're addressing the team.

842
00:45:52,679 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: More than any other.

843
00:45:53,559 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 3: Coach you're out in front of him because you're having

844
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,719
to coach up offensive and defensive. Players are creating this

845
00:46:00,199 --> 00:46:03,960
all star team within, reason, right you can't take all the, players,

846
00:46:04,039 --> 00:46:06,039
right you can't take all the, ones but you're kind

847
00:46:06,039 --> 00:46:08,159
of creating an all start team between the offensive. Defense

848
00:46:08,159 --> 00:46:10,920
who are the football, Players who are the wide receivers

849
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,159
that can? Block who are the Defensive who are the

850
00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:15,480
wide receivers that can? Tackle who are the or who

851
00:46:15,519 --> 00:46:18,800
are the defensive backs that can truly run down on

852
00:46:19,519 --> 00:46:23,719
on on kickoff cover or on punt cover and make.

853
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,079
Speaker 1: Tackles are they just cover? Guys you know WHAT i?

854
00:46:26,159 --> 00:46:28,679
Speaker 3: Mean you're you're really trying to find the linebackers that

855
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:35,400
are more than just just a gap, fillers, Right so

856
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,840
you have to find the right guys and they have

857
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,679
to be coachable and they have to have good FOOTBALL.

858
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,039
IQs so that was one of the things that stood

859
00:46:44,039 --> 00:46:46,360
out to. Me the other component is is the retention

860
00:46:46,519 --> 00:46:50,079
of the coaching. Staff he mentioned all of the defensive.

861
00:46:50,079 --> 00:46:51,920
Guys obviously they picked Up Da Mario. Warreon that was

862
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,840
the first tire that was in a as soon as

863
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:58,599
they lost G. Right New Year's day essentially is probably

864
00:46:58,639 --> 00:47:00,960

00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,840
THAT i took away from The kapop, Interview and To vick's,

894
00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,199
point the person that is most aligned if you're going

895
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,119
to try to look at symmetry of personality and skill

896
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:09,000
set with that Of Jay. Hill attention to detail, players

897
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:13,039
coach that loves you up as well as holding you accountable,

898
00:49:13,679 --> 00:49:18,480
right can, motivate can really get after you if you

899
00:49:18,679 --> 00:49:22,960
if he needs, to but with. Love phenomenal. Recruiter NEED

900
00:49:23,039 --> 00:49:27,199
i remind you all the guys that That Kelly papinga

901
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:31,719
has Recruited Fred, warner k V N, Right, Spencer, Hadley Alani,

902
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,239
fua some of the best, linebackers and look at what

903
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,760
we have right now too in that in that edge,

904
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:39,880
role in that linebacker.

905
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: Role, Look kelly's gonna be the right. Guy and now

906
00:49:44,519 --> 00:49:45,280
it's it's now.

907
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 3: Now the next job is for him to go out

908
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,039
and find a safeties coach That Demorial warren is also

909
00:49:50,679 --> 00:49:54,119
in line. With So i'll probably have a running list

910
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,639
LIKE i did last time with the. Cornerbacks i'll try

911
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,840
to put that out over the. Weekend we can debate

912
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:02,599
it On, monday but over the next two to three.

913
00:50:02,639 --> 00:50:07,199
Weeks that's the next strategic, hire that's the next. Go

914
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,679
you got to find someone That tomrio and K pop aligned.

915
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,320
With BUT i think a lot of these hires any

916
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,360
backfilling of the, positions that's gonna be internal and he

917
00:50:18,559 --> 00:50:23,920
that's the other thing alluded to, loyalty, right who's bought

918
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,639
into our, system who's bought into what we've, Built who's

919
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,559
willing to work to make this the best place to

920
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:36,280
coach and to play at long term? Vision Obviously gary

921
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,559
has a long term vision of what he wants to

922
00:50:38,639 --> 00:50:43,320
do here AT. Byu kelly's right there, Too. Kelly the

923
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,760
other thing that no one's talking, about you will also

924
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:51,920
about how Much kilonie LOVES, byu, right how how Much

925
00:50:52,199 --> 00:50:54,639
klonie wants to be the polonies in. Lavel he doesn't

926
00:50:54,639 --> 00:50:57,760
want to go. Anywhere when you're, recruiting you, know if

927
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,400
you're Laying, kiffin you're, LIKE i don't or going to

928
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:05,280
be next? Year you know, what who's the highest. Bidder

929
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,159
kilani's telling all the, RECRUITS i ain't going.

930
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: Anywhere i'm gonna be here for. Everybody i'm retiring. Here.

931
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,400
Okay the only way that he doesn't is if what

932
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,000
he's not hitting quota year in a year.

933
00:51:22,039 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 3: Out it kind of feels Like BYU's gonna be hitting

934
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,159
quota with everything that's being built right, Now kelly stating

935
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,199
is like much of the retention that you're seeing has

936
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,280
to do with everybody wants to play For. Kilane they

937
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,679
want to play for that, culture they want to play

938
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:38,679
for this locker.

939
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,559
Speaker 1: Room they want to play for this school because it's.

940
00:51:40,599 --> 00:51:41,960

941
00:51:42,119 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 3: Great, positive like, productive synergistic locker.

942
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:56,599
Speaker 1: Room it just is so it's it's pretty special k.

943
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,679
Speaker 3: Pop going back to my assessment, here you don't THINK

944
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,760
k pop loves by you through and.

945
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,960

Byu wigh and anybody that's in sales or in, consultation

948
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,639

00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,960
service or representing a, brand representative anything that does not

950
00:52:26,159 --> 00:52:30,880

954
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,760
this nagging in the back of your, mind in your,

955
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,519
heart the paying of incongruity of your.

956
00:52:47,639 --> 00:52:51,599
Speaker 1: Soul kelly doesn't have that At bway because he loves this.

957
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,039
