Speaker 1: Just like the Cougar football team, ben Quittle was built,

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,480

15
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:52,079
basketball BYU basketball season is right around the corner. They

16
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:59,399
tipped off essentially their exhibition season at Nebraska. They fell short,

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,960
but it's just practice. We're talking about practice here. Despite

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,560
a late surge from its newcomers, Number eight b YU

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,200
fell short in a ninety to eighty nine exhibition loss

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,560
to Nebraska at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska.

21
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:15,439
Speaker 2: The cool thing was.

22
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: After this loss, they had a high high power jet

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,680
that got them to Provo right before kickoff, and aj

24
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:27,439
De Bonds and the basketball players were first row of

25
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:31,680
the rock, rising and shouting as the Cougar football team

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,480
beat up on the utes. But let's talk basketball with

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,920

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,879
only Jonathan Tabinari for three JT Jonathan Tabernari.

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: How the heck are you, buddy?

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: I keep getting taller, I keep getting leaner, and I

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,240
haven't worked out even yet.

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 5: Can you imagine when I actually get started working out

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,120
with Kyle Collins, work man, I'm gonna be six one ninety.

41
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:19,080
My goodness, what.

42
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: Did you guys, finalize on. I said, I'd throw in money.

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,199
I don't know how much, I'll know whatever, right, But uh,

44
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,879
but what did you guys finalize on for this weight

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,439
loss challenge?

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,719
Speaker 4: So the reason why, the reason why Kyle said I'm

47
00:02:33,719 --> 00:02:37,560
gonna give him a thousand dollars is because I'm like, look, man,

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,960
basketball is now my job anymore.

49
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,439
Speaker 5: You know, I run tech companies for a living out

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,400
ben you know. And then I have talked about.

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,719
Speaker 4: Sales, and uh, I'm busy, man, you know, I work

52
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:48,479
on startups.

53
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 5: I speak you know, four or five languages, and I'm busy.

54
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:53,439
And so the last.

55
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 4: Thing on my mind is you know, stinging shape because

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,719
in my mind, I don't need to be healthy. Well,

57
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:02,080
I don't need to be in shape for me to

58
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:03,319
you know, close deals.

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 5: I mean in front of my computer. I'm working out

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,360
of you know, on a road.

61
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:10,159
Speaker 4: And so Kyle's like, well, let me throw some money

62
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,319
for me to see if that's going to incentivize.

63
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,319
Speaker 5: And I'm like, well, Kyle, a thousand bucks then you know, like,

64
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,520
let's just at least let's make that well, you know.

65
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:21,680
And I told him, I said, hey, look, let's do this.

66
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 4: Let's do something for the giving machines like, I think

67
00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:27,039
it's pretty cool. And so on Thursday, I'm on a

68
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,919
road right now, I'm in North Carolina.

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,319
Speaker 5: I'm I'm on the DO campus for some business.

70
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: And on on Thursday, he and I are getting together

71
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:40,159
doing an official weight in and see where the thing goes.

72
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: I love it, man, well, I support you and your

73
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,120
quest to lose some lbs, but also to do something

74
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:51,520
good with the money raised, which you always do. I

75
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,319
love and appreciate your brother and willing to support you

76
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:58,159
anyway that I can. But this bou basketball team, you know,

77
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,800
some people you know got eyes on this team nationally locally.

78
00:04:03,199 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: What did you make of it? What did your eye see?

79
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: The good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly in this

80
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,680
exhibition game versus Nebraska?

81
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,159
Speaker 4: All So, I remember how you know, when we did

82
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:15,639
the show, a lot of times you go, let's go

83
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:17,519
with the nitty, greedy, you know, and then you said

84
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,519
you know you would didn't do also the good, the.

85
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,639
Speaker 5: Bad, and the ugly. Let's start with the good.

86
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:28,639
Speaker 4: Y aj debansa an absolutely terror, a nightmare.

87
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 5: For opposing defenses. Now here's the thing.

88
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:34,759
Speaker 4: Then, just like Aaron Rodericks said, that bear running the

89
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,720
ball the way he did against Arizona's unsustainable? Is aj

90
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:42,000
getting to the line ten times the game sustainable?

91
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 5: I don't know.

92
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:46,519
Speaker 4: I have a hard time imagining that anybody can take

93
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,279
that level off counting right, Michael Jordan did it, Kobe

94
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,399
did it, but there's not a ton of players you

95
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:55,279
know that actually did it, you know once the adjusted

96
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,519
the rules. James Harden, you know, kind of disappear, right, Shay?

97
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:04,279
Now you know Shy Goody is s GA Alexander? You know,

98
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:05,920
is he going to disappear?

99
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,959
Speaker 5: And so to be determined?

100
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,319
Speaker 4: Right, what I can tell you is that he is

101
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,879
not your typical freshman. And you know, I think Bhim

102
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,959
asked me, asked me last week is he going to

103
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:22,959
live up to the hype? And my brother in Christ,

104
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,160
I can tell you he will live up to the

105
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,959
hype because if he did that on a on a

106
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:32,120
I don't want to say, you know, half a because

107
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,920
he was going full speed and you could tell. But

108
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,079
can you imagine when you know the popcorn actually has

109
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,879
the extra butter on it, and you know the tickets

110
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:43,040
are actually sold and all of this stuff, My goodness gracious,

111
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,800
And so I would say that that band is the good,

112
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,360
the bad what I.

113
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,319
Speaker 5: Would say is probably the fact that.

114
00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 4: Kevin Young is going to have a hard time with

115
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,439
the rotations. And I don't think it's going to be

116
00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:04,240
an early situation like it was, you know, him figuring

117
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,800
out the Foo situation, like if you remember last year.

118
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,360
But I said this all along, he had a really

119
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,040
clear path to figuring it out how to get foos

120
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:16,399
and how to get Keva in the game. And he

121
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,160
got their rotation down pretty quick, and and he figured

122
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:21,879
that out and it was a smooth one.

123
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 5: The problem is this year.

124
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: I you know, how is he going to play Xavion?

125
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:33,240
Because Davion is going to be a love threatch but

126
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:36,199
I don't think that for right now where he is

127
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,120
in his career, he's going to be much more than that.

128
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:43,560
And so how do you then play Kadeen and how

129
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,839
do you play Dominique? Which I was, you know, incredibly

130
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,759
impressed by their physique, their body, They look like NBA players,

131
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,759
They look like they along already right still whise they're

132
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,120
still developing and so but to me, the main question becomes,

133
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:01,040
how are they going to be able to do that

134
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,240
and develop quick? Because you know it's it's going to

135
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,160
be interesting when Keva comes out, who's the inside presence,

136
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,199
who is going to protect the paint?

137
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,839
Speaker 5: Who is going to cause the teams to collapse? And uh,

138
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:16,519
you know and.

139
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: Create the space, which kind of brings me a little

140
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,759
bit to the ugly, which is I personally was expecting

141
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:27,120
more out of Richie Saunders. Now I'm not saying Richie

142
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,360
played bad, you know, like you know all you know

143
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,480
that lightning and thunder will strike me right now, I

144
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:38,360
don't mean that, but Richie was the very help me

145
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,319
out here with the word then he was almost like nonchalant,

146
00:07:42,959 --> 00:07:47,160
like he was waiting for, you know, the ball.

147
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 5: To come to him. And I don't think that this

148
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,839
is going to be a team.

149
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: For now that it's going to have a ton of

150
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:56,879
bulk movement like it was last year.

151
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,079
Speaker 5: Aj needs the ball in his hands.

152
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,519
Speaker 4: To the effect if we saw that, you know at

153
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:03,079
the game, how many times.

154
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,959
Speaker 5: Did you have a chance to watch the game, then by.

155
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: Way, yeah I was capable of watching it. And look,

156
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,879
look what type of offense do you want? Do you

157
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,319
want a pro style offense or do you want a

158
00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:20,079
collegiate offense? And and well if age is going to

159
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,000
be when when Rob's out and agent is going to

160
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,079
be your primary ball handler. I think you're gonna get

161
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,839
a lot of ISO. That's just the nature of this

162
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,600
game right now.

163
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 4: And and and I don't disagree with you, which is

164
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:34,679
why I said that that to me was the bad.

165
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,919
Speaker 5: Figuring out the rotations.

166
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, the one with with Xavion, to me is just

167
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,440
a tip of this here.

168
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,159
Speaker 5: Because here's the thing. Robert right can go like he

169
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:46,879
can go.

170
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,039
Speaker 4: Go right, And and we saw in the first five

171
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,039
seven minutes he made some move that like he felt

172
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:56,759
like it felt like he was a like a senior

173
00:08:56,799 --> 00:09:00,679
in high school playing against seventh graders. Like he looked

174
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,000
like they he made people look stupid. And that's fine.

175
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,879
The problem is you need to have you need to

176
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,480
have either AJ or Robert or Richie on the court

177
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:16,519
at all times. Now, when Robert and AJ are on

178
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,320
the court at all times, you can have more of

179
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,840
a pro style offense where it's more isolation. When Richie

180
00:09:23,879 --> 00:09:27,000
is on the court by himself, you need to have

181
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,159
a Letsay there.

182
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,919
Speaker 6: You need to have you know, potentially Kadeen and Dominique

183
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:37,679
and Canar Dave is there because the ball needs to

184
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,000
move and Richie is a system player in terms of

185
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,960
the ball needs to move and needs to rotate so

186
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,879
he can catch.

187
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,039
Speaker 5: It on the go and go.

188
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,519
Speaker 4: Richie is not a giving the ball and I'm going

189
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,360
to create a shot that's not his game.

190
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 5: And so that to me was the.

191
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,879
Speaker 4: Ugly is you know, in terms of I, you know,

192
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,120
Richie an incredible season last year, right, and we've all

193
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,679
due respect to a J right, And I don't mean

194
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,240
to put it down, and we're talking about the number

195
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,200
one recruit in the country, but like, Richie has been

196
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,919
there and done that, and I expected, I probably would

197
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:16,000
say I expected a little bit more out of Richie

198
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,480
in terms of his impact, but he felt like he

199
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,519
was a little bit hesitant because he was giving a

200
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:24,480
lot of room to AJ to operate. But I don't

201
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,399
think that it's necessarily only Richie's fault, right, I think

202
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,240
that this is one of those things that Kevin Young

203
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,000
and the staff is going to have to adjust the

204
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,600
rhythm off the game, you know, and then if I

205
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,519
can just throw one last seam, there is just you know,

206
00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:40,320
the three point shooting, right.

207
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,399
Speaker 5: I mean, Mihilo's supposed to be a shooter.

208
00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 4: Ale Say is supposed to be a shooter, but we

209
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:49,519
actually saw AJ be more of a shooter than anybody else.

210
00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 5: And so again props to AJ.

211
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 4: But who's going to be the guys that are going

212
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,600
to spot up and catch and shoot and open up

213
00:10:57,639 --> 00:10:58,840
the floor for everybody else.

214
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: That's my an Now the game ban Yeah, I love that.

215
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:03,399
Let me give you a quote from Kevin Young.

216
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 3: He said three things I wanted out of this game

217
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:09,240
was to see our starters together, rob out AJ Wood,

218
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,240
shooters around him, and our defensive group. I feel good

219
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:17,039
about learning more about our group based on those criteria

220
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,000
that I laid out, no matter who we had out there,

221
00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:23,159
just being able to play a team like that who

222
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,320
is well coached. That's Fred Hoiberg is a really good coach. Offensively,

223
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:30,799
they run their stuff super hard. That was a good

224
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,720
thing for us to experience. On the defensive side of

225
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:37,440
the ball, do you feel like you know, I mean,

226
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:39,960
this is all repetition we're talking about here. They're going

227
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,960
to get better defensively as well. One cohesion having it

228
00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:44,200
on the defensive end as.

229
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 4: Well, Right, Yeah, I totally agree. I to be honest

230
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:51,960
with you, Ben and listen, people like to make fun

231
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,120
of me j T who couldn't guard anybody.

232
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 5: Go look at the stacks.

233
00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 3: Now you bodied up, bodied up some dudes. Man, you

234
00:11:59,039 --> 00:11:59,559
got out there.

235
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,279
Speaker 2: Great for it.

236
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 4: But but if you actually look at but Ben I

237
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,200
was never a grade one on one player.

238
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 5: I was a great team defender exactly. And if you

239
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,440
look and if you.

240
00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:11,399
Speaker 4: Look at the metrics and the stats, I'm one of

241
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,559
the top five top seven defensive players in Duyu history

242
00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:18,799
in terms of wind share. Because when you have a

243
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,679
system down and you have people with high basketball IQ,

244
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:26,960
which you know I would probably say I have, that

245
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,360
makes the game easier. And so defensively to me, obviously,

246
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:34,639
it's not a concern as I watched this Uyu team,

247
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,799
because they will figure it out.

248
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 5: They had enough guys there, you know, with.

249
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: Will and John and Chris Burgess and the whole staff,

250
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:49,679
they're gonna be okay defensively right offensively, you know, finding

251
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,200
a ridm on offense, it's a whole lot more difficult,

252
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,320
you know, because you know you can't you know, it's

253
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,039
difficult for you to change the DNA of certain players,

254
00:13:02,039 --> 00:13:02,279
you know.

255
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 5: And so how can how can to me?

256
00:13:04,919 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 4: And I told you this from the again, John Rothstein

257
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,039
has said, well, how is BYU gonna deal with the subs?

258
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,519
Speaker 5: And the bench. That's not my number one concern for

259
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:12,879
the year.

260
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 4: My number one thing this year is how soon can

261
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,399
Cavin Young figure out the dynamics between Rob Wright, Aj

262
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,519
and Richie because those are going to be his three

263
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:25,759
leaguing scores this year.

264
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

265
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 3: Aj de Bonco scored nineteen of his team high thirty

266
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,480
points in the first half is the freshman win. Ten

267
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,360
of nineteen from the field, two to four from the

268
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,519
three point line, eight of eight from the charity stripe.

269
00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:39,600
He also had seven rebounds, three assists, three steals in

270
00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:43,720
the block. That's a nice healthy stat line. Kadi Maboo

271
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:47,759
he recorded a double double as a retro freshman with

272
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,240
eleven of BYU's thirty nine rebounds. He also went four

273
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,720
to four from the field and four to four from

274
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,600
the charity stripe. Richie Saunders and Alecxi Coastick also reached

275
00:13:57,639 --> 00:14:00,679
double figures, finishing with eleven points up piece and the

276
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,399
Cougar shot forty five point three percent from the field. Uh,

277
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:06,279
but thirty two point three from three point range. You

278
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,919
alluded to maybe three point shooting. You want to see

279
00:14:08,919 --> 00:14:13,039
a little bit more efficiency maybe from the three point line.

280
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think that when you look at when you

281
00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:18,519
look at what made u i U success, what makes

282
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:22,000
UIU successful last year? Right, and we're saying last year

283
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:25,159
because that was Kevin Young's first year. The he was

284
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,440
absolutely three point shooting and facing Now this is a

285
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,559
completely different roster. You have a team. You start with

286
00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:34,759
the point guard where you have a scouring first point

287
00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:37,919
guard right in comparison to Yegua. And then you have

288
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,639
a two guard who is arguably the best two guard

289
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,639
that has ever played at Uyu. And so as you

290
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:48,480
make all of these things and all of these these

291
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:52,159
these these distinctions.

292
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 5: You know, you have to figure out a way. You

293
00:14:53,919 --> 00:14:57,919
have to figure out a way too, You have you

294
00:14:58,159 --> 00:14:59,399
have to figure out a way.

295
00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:02,039
Speaker 4: Sorry, I'm just trying to walk away from This's like

296
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,360
wherever growth, it gets you worse, but you have to

297
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,200
figure out a way to adapt. And so to me,

298
00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:10,879
this year, the number one thing that becomes important is

299
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,120
how can you find more space for everybody to to operate?

300
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 5: How can you find more space for a gagword to operate?

301
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,879
Speaker 4: How can you find more space for Richie to actually

302
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:21,879
catch him penetrate?

303
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:24,759
Speaker 5: And you know, we didn't see a ton of debt

304
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:26,879
in the game. We saw a lot of individual work

305
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,879
one on one, which, again.

306
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,679
Speaker 4: I get what you said about a pro style offense

307
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:36,799
versus the collegiate offense. But you know two, you know one,

308
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:42,679
you know your leading returnings for is not a individual

309
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,320
one oh one, create his.

310
00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 5: Own shot type of player.

311
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: He's a system guy that needs the ball to rotate

312
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,320
for him to be successful.

313
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,879
Speaker 5: So how will Kevin Young adapt to that?

314
00:15:51,799 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? I'm intrigued, no doubt about it. JT.

315
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: Let's move on to rivalry talk. I know you love

316
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,600
to talk a little football. One of the debates I've

317
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:07,039
had with friends and foes, when BYU football beats the Utes,

318
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,799
is there more just happiness and Cougar Country than when

319
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,879
when BYU basketball beats the Utes on the hardwood? I

320
00:16:16,919 --> 00:16:20,240
would say yes, that the collective fan base is happier

321
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:23,240
when we win on the grid ironers opposed to on

322
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:23,840
the hardwood.

323
00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 5: What say you? Oh?

324
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 4: I would agree one thousand percent with that, and that's

325
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:33,720
because of their magnitude. One football game means way more

326
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,759
than two basketball games, right and right?

327
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: I think from JT, who drives the ship, who's at

328
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:39,960
the helm?

329
00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 4: Hey, I've always said it, man, be you know, football

330
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,679
rides this show by all Mese, you know. So I

331
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,559
have always said that, you know, and I think because

332
00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:54,559
of the impact of that one win, you know, not

333
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,559
necessarily not only because it's your rival, but it's because

334
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,639
it's a massive win against the component.

335
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 5: But when it comes to Utah.

336
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 4: It's your hater rival and with and I think you

337
00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:12,720
know the successes of lates of Utah versus you know,

338
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,799
the constant failure that Utah basketball has been, you know

339
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,079
since pretty much under Bogut left town. It's you know,

340
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,039
it's a team sport when it comes to college ben basketball,

341
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,920
when it comes to college is that seems sport?

342
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,559
Speaker 5: Right? Very few people are like, oh, I'm gonna.

343
00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:31,759
Speaker 4: Follow you know, this team, and I'm a I'm a

344
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,759
I'm a Utah State fan because of Jordan Love. Nobody

345
00:17:34,839 --> 00:17:37,960
says that, right, They're not a Utah State fan. People

346
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,720
didn't become a UYU fan because of Gym. They were

347
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:44,160
YU fans before, right. People are not, Hey, I'm going

348
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,920
to be a YU fan because of aj No.

349
00:17:46,279 --> 00:17:48,079
Speaker 5: People have been v YU fans.

350
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,759
Speaker 4: And so with football and the impact and and the

351
00:17:52,759 --> 00:17:56,200
things that that are of consequence because of that win

352
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,599
become a magnitude and so I a thousand percent agree

353
00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:03,559
with you. One BYU football win every year over Utah

354
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:04,960
means more.

355
00:18:05,079 --> 00:18:08,039
Speaker 5: Than you know, all of the wins.

356
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 4: Against Utah in basketball for the last ten years.

357
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:11,799
Speaker 2: JT.

358
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: What did you make of the win over the Utes

359
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,000
this past weekend?

360
00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: How did you watch it? How'd you consume it? And

361
00:18:20,279 --> 00:18:21,160
how'd you celebrate?

362
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:25,279
Speaker 4: I was at home, you know, my my boy, my

363
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:29,599
oldest boy, Xander is getting really into it and we're

364
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,839
watching it. He had friends over the house. You know,

365
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,960
I enjoy I don't enjoy going to the stadium. I

366
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,799
think the atmosphere and the experience is great. It's just

367
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:43,000
not my my favorite. And the reason why I say

368
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:47,799
that is because the reason why I that is because I,

369
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,880
you know, it's super loud, and I enjoy being able to.

370
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 5: Mute the you know, the TV. I able to get

371
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,400
up and get some snacks, go to the bathroom. You know,

372
00:18:58,559 --> 00:19:02,119
I'm just I don't know, but you know, from your.

373
00:19:02,079 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 3: Own creature of convenience, that's what you are. You're a

374
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,680
creature of convenience, which is.

375
00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 4: Why i'm you know, which is probably one of the

376
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,000
reasons why it led me to gain you know, one

377
00:19:13,079 --> 00:19:16,480
hundred and fifty pounds as I retire from playing basketball.

378
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: And I don't. I'm not.

379
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,759
Speaker 4: Pace with who I am and with the choices that

380
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:24,000
I have made. It's true, you know what I mean,

381
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:27,119
and so but I am a creature of convenience and

382
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:30,480
you know, but again, right, what a fantastic win. And

383
00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:33,200
watching the cut, Ben, you and I are very similar

384
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,799
of the way we feel about by U.

385
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 5: And every time I watch the cut, I get emotional

386
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,799
like it.

387
00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 4: I get emotional because like I remember, and I know

388
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,079
you do too, because I mean, you even came from

389
00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:47,519
me in scholars you know, from being a walk on to.

390
00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 5: Then earning playing time. I remember what it was like to.

391
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,279
Speaker 4: Work and work and work and work and work and

392
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,680
sacrifice and sacrifice to be able to earn and to

393
00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:03,359
get victory, right, and to see other people going through that,

394
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,720
like it's emotional to me.

395
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 5: And even more so you know at the end when

396
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,599
they sing the fight.

397
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 4: Song and the things Kalan he say, and so you know,

of Utah Dentelprosivutah dot com. If you've been told JDA

413
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,160
filling a crown a rooking out, all I'm asking you

414
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,279
to do is get a second opinion.

415
00:21:01,319 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: At Dental Pros of Utah.

416
00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 3: They do utilize the best biommetic techniques, then really invasive

417
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,440
techniques to rebuild your teeth layer by layer with kevil

418
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:11,079
R fibers so you don't have to settle for the

419
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:14,400
fake teeth later on in life. The crowns and root canals.

420
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,319
If you've been there, you've done that. You got the filling,

421
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,240
which eventually failed, and then you got the crack twoth

422
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,960
right quote.

423
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,599
Speaker 2: You know quotation mccrack two. You got the crown, you

424
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,119
got the root?

425
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 3: Can out avoid that at all costs at Dental Pros

426
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,759
of Utah in America. Fork, We'll take a brief time out,

00:22:05,839 --> 00:22:08,119
It is time for my favorite segment, college football segment.

441
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,559
We're going to celebrate the win over Utah and I

442
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:14,119
want to ask this question in this segment, is that

443
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,119
Youtah team that is comprised of some very talented football

444
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,599
players NFL draft picks. You know, Kleb Lomu, Spencer Fonnad

445
00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:25,519
both probably gonna be first round NFL draft picks. At tackle,

446
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:30,799
you have Smith Snowden, NFL defensive back Taylor Johnson. Like,

447
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:34,119
go down the list of high level football players for Utah.

448
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,119
It's a good football team and they have good coaches

449
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,079
as well, well resourced. Is that Youtah team that by

450
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,680
you just beat, the same Utah team that has been

451
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,200
winning in the Pac twelve for the last few decades.

452
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:56,359
The same type of team that wins ten plus games

453
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,319
and goes to bowl games every year and goes to

454
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,279
Rose Bowl games and then loses those games. You know,

455
00:23:02,759 --> 00:23:06,920
is there on the cusp of elite to great greatness,

456
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:09,920
but struggles to get over that hump.

457
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 2: And I would conclude that they are.

458
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: They're just in a better conference now. But to talk

459
00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:20,359
about it, to discuss it, it's gonna be. It's gonna

460
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,680
be a former BYU wide receiver to break it all down.

461
00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:25,559

475
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,160
former BYU wide Receiver to discuss the topic of the day.

476
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 2: Jared, how theck are you goodd really well and thanks

477
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:08,319
for having me.

478
00:24:08,319 --> 00:24:08,519
Speaker 5: Ben.

479
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 3: It's always great to to just celebrate the win over

480
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,559
the rival foe, the University of Utah.

481
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: Break this down for me.

482
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 3: What do you think is this this Utah football team

483
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,799
that BYU just beat on their home field?

484
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: Is that the same team?

485
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 5: Right?

486
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 3: Is that the same type of team talent wise, coaching,

487
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,720
staff wise, resource wise that was dominating the PAC twelve

488
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:32,480
and BYU has just surpassed them.

489
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,759
Speaker 7: I think you're going down the right path on it.

490
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,640
You know, I think that they every year Utah has

491
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,640
some NFL quality guys, guys that get picked up, guys.

492
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 2: They've been putting guys in the league for a long time.

493
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,079
Speaker 7: Yeah, And that's what they needed in order to be

494
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:50,000
successful in the Pac twelve, I think, And if you

495
00:24:50,079 --> 00:24:52,160
if you look at some of the BA Utah game

496
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:56,319
and you kind of analyze some of their their strengths,

497
00:24:56,319 --> 00:24:59,400
their offensive line really good and in fact, I think

498
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,480
they played really well still against BYU. But what they

499
00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:08,599
lacked is that our DB's outplayed their receivers. So you

500
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,160
got this number one offensive line in the nation, who's

501
00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:15,960
who gave the quarterback way more time than he needed

502
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,319
on a ton of plays. I mean, we couldn't get

503
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,079
to him, and then when we did a side staff

504
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,480
move around a lot more time, but he couldn't find

505
00:25:23,519 --> 00:25:27,359
anybody downfield open. So that's where I think they've got

506
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,960
some superstars in different areas, but they don't have enough

507
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,400
to fill those voids. Just like I don't think they

508
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,359
had a receiver that was dominant enough that they had

509
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,119
a go to guy that could get open every time,

510
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,319
or they would have hit that guy sure on a

511
00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:43,000
lot of those plays. But I think you're down the

512
00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:45,680
right path on it. I think you guys are always

513
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,680
going to be a very good team. They're always going

514
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,079
to have good players, good coaching. They have the means

515
00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:55,519
to do it. But on the other hand, was the

516
00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:58,759
Pac twelve what the Big twelve twelve is today?

517
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

518
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 3: Utah, the team that was the odds on favor to

519
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,519
win the Big twelve last year, didn't even go to

520
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:13,160
a bowl game, had the physical you know, smash in

521
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:16,640
the mouth that they did not expect getting into the

522
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,720
Big twelve. Pac twelve, they were the most physical team

523
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:23,519
in the conference more often than not. Even versus the

524
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,480
likes of Washington and Oregon and USC they typically got

525
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:32,640
out athleted in those games. Yeah, yeah, more so than

526
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,119
they did get out physical. So offensive and defensive line

527
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,839
trench warfare is what they want at they move up

528
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,440
to the Big twelve, not as dominant as they were

529
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,400
in the Pac twelve in my opinion, And look, they're

530
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,400
a good team this year. This is arguably a better team.

531
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,960
There's a reason why Kyle Whittingham came back an additional year.

532
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,839
Speaker 2: He did not retire after last year.

533
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,279
Speaker 3: He saw the talent on this football team returning like

534
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:03,279
they could compete and win in the Big Twelve, and

535
00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:06,400
they have, but they've also lost a tough one on

536
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,799
the road to their rival, and they lost at home to.

537
00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: Texas Tech.

538
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: And there's parody in college football. We know that, But

539
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,400
I think they're the same team. And BYU has just

540
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,519
surpassed them, and it hasn't taken them that long to

541
00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:27,440
surpass them since arriving.

542
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: In the Big Twelve.

543
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 3: And we're only at a half share right now. By

544
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,960
we're not even at that full share yet or revenue distribution.

545
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 5: Right.

546
00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:39,279
Speaker 7: But do you hear Aaron roddicks that he was on

547
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,200
the coordinator's corner, right, and yeah, and he had met

548
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,599
they were talking about the quality of our recruiting and

549
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,200
how we were always a little bit behind Utah back

550
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,400
during that streak when Utah won nine in row.

551
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: We they had better talent, right.

552
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 7: His comment was, we have better talent now, yeah, you know,

553
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,359
and and and we're recruiting better talent and we're starting

554
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,079
to see you know, it's it's not uncommon to flip

555
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:10,319
through Instagram and you come across one of those top

556
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,759
top ten, top thirty recruits and there's Alabama, aubur and

557
00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:15,799
all these different schools, and then there's BYU over in

558
00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:18,400
the left corner, you know, as one of the visits.

559
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: And you didn't see that before.

560
00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:24,839
Speaker 7: You didn't see these big time recruits with their Alabama's

561
00:28:24,839 --> 00:28:30,079
and their SEC schools to visit, and then BYU. You know,

562
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:35,079
So I think it is it is proving the formula

563
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,759
that that Kilani and his coaches are putting together is

564
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:42,160
proving to be successful and it's just going to get better.

565
00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:46,279
Speaker 3: So then what do you attribute the increase in recruiting to?

566
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:50,640
What do you attribute you know, the the turning of

567
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,680
the tides. So that's what we're talking about here. We're

568
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,839
talking about the turning of the tides and the rivalry.

569
00:28:55,319 --> 00:29:01,440
Three in a row, now, okay, that's that's a streak baby.

570
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,920
And look, I know Utah had nine in row, but

571
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,440
they also had we had unequal footing. We did not,

572
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:10,240
We did not have the same resources, We didn't have

573
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,359
the power for affiliation.

574
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: They have never had an honor code.

575
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:19,319
Speaker 3: The student athletes of the University of Utah, from what

576
00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:23,359
I've been told, their academic riggers are not nearly as

577
00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:29,599
stringent as the academic riggers of YU. All those things

578
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,079
can lead to better recruiting.

579
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,319
Speaker 2: So what do you see.

580
00:29:35,559 --> 00:29:40,759
Speaker 7: Well, BYU, I think where we turned the corner, obviously

581
00:29:40,839 --> 00:29:42,920
is when we got a conference, When we got into

582
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:48,599
the Big twelve. It changed the prospects outlook on what's

583
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,799
possible at BYU. It before that when we were independent. Yeah,

584
00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:54,519
we got to pick our schedule a little bit and

585
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:57,079
we kind of got to bounce around. But you had

586
00:29:57,079 --> 00:29:59,440
to win out almost to get a chance to play

587
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,359
in any kind of a playoff or any kind of

588
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,960
a big bowl game. And so it was like one

589
00:30:04,039 --> 00:30:07,480
loss and it was now where are we at? You know,

590
00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:10,680
Liberty Bowl Holiday? Well, you know what, those maybe better

591
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,839
balls now, but you know, maybe you look back at it, it.

592
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: Was it's different. So you've got players that are coming in.

593
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 7: You know, I was in the stands and I spent

594
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,519
some time with some of the players parents during the game. Utah,

595
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,000
and uh, you know, and I asked those questions, you know, what,

596
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
what what brought your son here?

597
00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:30,759
Speaker 5: You know?

598
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: And and uh, what's keeping him here? Yeah? And that

599
00:30:35,839 --> 00:30:39,640
was it's you need both. You need the acquisition and

600
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,640
then you need the right nowadays, yeah, you have to

601
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,640
keep them, keep them to develop them in your system.

602
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,079
Speaker 7: The mom that I spoke with, I will keep the

603
00:30:48,079 --> 00:30:51,400
players out of it, but she she said, the atmosphere

604
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,759
here what klone brings, and just.

605
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,039
Speaker 2: You have to try to get in trouble in provo.

606
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 7: You know, it doesn't just come to you just hang

607
00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:04,680
out at the wrong proactively seeking trouble, you know, to

608
00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:07,680
get it. And so as at parents, I think are

609
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,319
seeing more and more of that. I think they see

610
00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:12,799
that this team, the team stays together in the office,

611
00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:14,920
you always are going to lose some there's just no

612
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,680
way around it in this day and age with the

613
00:31:16,759 --> 00:31:21,000
nil and and the transfer portal. But we retain a

614
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:25,759
lot of players year to year that have opportunities to

615
00:31:25,799 --> 00:31:28,920
potentially make more money outside, but they come back and

616
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,559
I think that gets noticed, and not just the players,

617
00:31:31,599 --> 00:31:34,079
but but from the parents as well, and then just

618
00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:35,000
a feeling of being.

619
00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: Here and playing for Klonie.

620
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 7: I think Colonie has done a great job in building

621
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,440
that that network, and I think we're going to continue

622
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,160
to see a lot of higher profile guys coming out.

623
00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:48,079
I was talking with Justin Anderson on Saturday before the game,

624
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:51,799
and you know, they had seventy recruits and families at

625
00:31:51,799 --> 00:31:52,400
the ba.

626
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: Utah Gay Wow yeah, I was that is. I was like, man,

627
00:31:56,759 --> 00:31:58,440
you got a huge load to deal with today.

628
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,839
Speaker 7: Seventy recruits with all their families, I mean, and this

629
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,759
was all the biggest recruits were there for this game.

630
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: And what an atmosphere, you know, and think about it.

631
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:10,839
Speaker 7: How many stadiums out there are full to the end

632
00:32:10,839 --> 00:32:12,799
of the game, no matter what.

633
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: You know. You look at some of the games that

634
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:16,319
we've played this year.

635
00:32:16,359 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 7: And I know Arizona had a rain toe lay, but

636
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,400
it wasn't even close to full before the raindo lay,

637
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,599
you know, and then after it was even worse. And

638
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,440
then you look at these stands some of these games

639
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,680
as teams are getting blown out or they're blowing out

640
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,559
the other team, and their fans just leave, you know,

641
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:32,559
and all of a sudden, it's it's towards the middle

642
00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:35,319
of the fourth corner and there's like fifteen hundred fans

643
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:40,000
like BAUS fans stay for the game, you know, and

644
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
and enjoy the game, and they're riled up for the

645
00:32:42,039 --> 00:32:46,359
whole game. And what an atmosphere that is. And having

646
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:50,279
you know, been recruited or being a recruit now and

647
00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:54,359
coming into that atmosphere and seeing that and hearing and

648
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,160
feeling it and then come out with the win and

649
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,519
just the whole atmosphere.

650
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: There had to be some guys leading that weren't by you.

651
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,119
Speaker 7: Guys that that have have them in their top three now,

652
00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:09,319
I really think so. I think they did a really

653
00:33:09,319 --> 00:33:11,400
good job of bringing in the guys at the right time.

654
00:33:11,519 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

655
00:33:11,759 --> 00:33:15,519
Speaker 3: I mean, look, there were Utah commits in the locker

656
00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:20,920
room post game, yeah, celebrating with the BYU football team.

657
00:33:21,119 --> 00:33:24,319
Speaker 2: So, I mean there's a few flops I'm waiting for.

658
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,799
Speaker 7: I think there's some coming that that the guys that

659
00:33:26,839 --> 00:33:29,119
have signed with Utah that that and I'm not going

660
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,359
to say committed, have committed, yeah committed, Yeah, you haven't

661
00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:36,839
signed yet committed to Utah who are going to look

662
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,559
at their opportunities at b YU.

663
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,039
Speaker 2: I think there's more to that than to come here

664
00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:43,680
in the near future.

665
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 8: Ap Andrew Peterson, Well, while we're talking about recruits, if

666
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,359
we're looking at this year's seniors for BYU, these are

667
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,880
the recruits BYU was getting as independents, right, yep. And

668
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,559
the recruiting classes are only getting better. We're starting to

669
00:33:57,559 --> 00:33:59,839
get the big twelve guys and like fall Toss Taltsball,

670
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,559
he's a Big twelve recruit and he's showing up big time.

671
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,480
And so I hate to bring that up this question

672
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:07,880
for the sake of my Utah friends, but are we

673
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,960
going to see a talent gap going the other way it?

674
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,119
Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's what it was before, even in

675
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:19,000
your era in the nineties, eighties and nineties, I mean

676
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:21,679
that's what it was. I mean, the talent, the best

677
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,880
LDS talent, the best Polynesian talent, and the best a

678
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,440
lot of the best quarterbacks that weren't getting recruited to

679
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,960
the Michigan's, the Ohio States, you know, the Miami's, the USC's,

680
00:34:33,559 --> 00:34:36,440
you know at that time in that era, right like,

681
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,079
they were coming to BYU because they wanted to throw

682
00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:41,920
the freaking football, right they wanted to throw it. And

683
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,480
so you got a lot of really good premiere obviously

684
00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:48,360
NFL talent to come to Provo at that time. And

685
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,639
there was a significant talent gap until the nineties when

686
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:54,159
coach McBride took over and started stealing a few of

687
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:55,280
those guys and creating a.

688
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,159
Speaker 2: Great coach by the way, he created.

689
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 3: A similar Lavelle kaloniulture there, and it was cool to

690
00:35:01,519 --> 00:35:04,480
be at Utah and you'd have a chip on your shoulder,

691
00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:07,880
and it begs the question, right, you're talking about Kilani

692
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,480
here and the brand and you listen to the postgame

693
00:35:11,559 --> 00:35:16,800
press conferences of Kyle Whittingham and in Kilanie and they're

694
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,639
completely the opposite. And if you're a player, granted, when

695
00:35:20,679 --> 00:35:23,920
you're winning, it's a whole lot easier to be But

696
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:29,119
there's a feeling nice from him all kind But who

697
00:35:29,159 --> 00:35:30,400
does Who do you want to play for?

698
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: Who do you want to play well?

699
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,599
Speaker 7: And I think there's there's a little limbo going on

700
00:35:35,679 --> 00:35:38,239
with with Utah because when when is he going to retire?

701
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 4: Uh?

702
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: Is it going to be the end of this year?

703
00:35:41,079 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 5: You know?

704
00:35:41,519 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 2: I I think he should have retired last year. You know.

705
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 7: But that's a hard one to go out on. I

706
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:48,920
get it, you know. I hope they make a Bowl

707
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,840
game so that he can feel comfortable. Like I said,

708
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,719
he saw the talent. He's like, can win with this team? Yeah,

709
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:56,239
we can win with this team. But the drive, the

710
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,119
fire isn't there the fire that I've always seen with

711
00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:00,920
with with coach, I.

712
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:01,599
Speaker 2: Don't see it.

713
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 3: You know what what extinguished it? It's it's not even

714
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,960
just the rivalry game. I'm telling what it is. It's

715
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:12,320
it's nil, it's transfer portal, it's buy in from donors.

716
00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:18,280
There's an aging donor population up at the U. And yeah,

717
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,920
they because you're a commuter school. When they're there, they're fans.

718
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,039
It's kind of an ASU feel sure, they're fans and

719
00:36:26,039 --> 00:36:28,960
they'll show up and they're going to party, pregame and postgaming.

720
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Like yeah, like the but I don't know if they

721
00:36:31,039 --> 00:36:35,840
have robust buy in from their alumni base to sustain

722
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:42,000
nil competitive nature of the top twenty five, you know,

723
00:36:42,199 --> 00:36:43,440
top thirty five.

724
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,119
Speaker 2: Programs of the country that ultimately.

725
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 3: It necessitates to stay there because they've been there because

726
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,519
of X, Y and Z competing in the PAC twelve

727
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,480
having the resources that they've never had before with the

728
00:36:57,559 --> 00:37:00,840
TV money. They're not there anymore though, Like now they're

729
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,039
on equal footing with a lot of these other programs

730
00:37:03,039 --> 00:37:05,519
and they don't have the NIL to to keep them

731
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:07,719
in the top thirty five, Top forty year and in.

732
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 2: Year out, or at least they're teetering there.

733
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 3: It's not a foregone conclusion that they're invested in. And

734
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:20,400
I think wis like, well, he's already declared it. It's

735
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,320
his thesis. Like the more you pay, the more you win.

736
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,800
He went on record in regards to Texas Technic. That's

737
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,000
his low hanging fruit. That's what he's saying, like, that's

738
00:37:30,199 --> 00:37:32,920
all it takes. And and he's calling out his own

739
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,639
donor base. He's calling out his nil donor base there.

740
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,000
That's and he doesn't like it anyway. He doesn't like

741
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:42,159
the variables involved. Is the same reason why Nick Saban got.

742
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, I think I think this the older generation

743
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,519
of coaches are seeing the riding on the wall as

744
00:37:48,559 --> 00:37:53,079
to the changes that are being made within and the NCAA.

745
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,239
And if you're not willing to change and just jump

746
00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,400
into that cycle, now you can't survive you. And so

747
00:38:00,559 --> 00:38:04,920
either you get out, you change, or you're you start

748
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:05,719
to fall back.

749
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,199
Speaker 2: And you know, you mentioned the fans.

750
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 7: I don't know about you, but were you surprised at

751
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,800
how little red was in the stadium?

752
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,159
Speaker 2: Now? I get it. Tickets were expensive, right yeah, And.

753
00:38:16,039 --> 00:38:19,199
Speaker 3: I mean, look, b Yu fans, they don't they're pretty strategic.

754
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:23,000
These are smart well, I shared fans that know that

755
00:38:23,039 --> 00:38:25,519
when they sell their tickets, they do not put them

756
00:38:25,519 --> 00:38:26,480
on the free market.

757
00:38:27,159 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: So that Utah fans.

758
00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 7: Tickets on the free market so for me, for so,

759
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,639
from what you were saying is and and what when

760
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:38,079
we saw we expect like there were ten to twenty

761
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:40,800
percent of this fan base is in the cra that's

762
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,000
going to be from Utah. And when we were we're like,

763
00:38:44,199 --> 00:38:48,400
you know, I think I think Portland State had almost

764
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:49,079
the same amount.

765
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 2: They had a pretty.

766
00:38:50,079 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 7: Good turnout in that same sliver corner of the north

767
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,280
end zone. And and so I was, yeah, I don't,

768
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,480
I don't know. You you may be onto something with

769
00:38:58,519 --> 00:39:01,519
the fan base. Not they're not buy used fan base,

770
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,480
you know, but nobody travels like BAU, you know. And

771
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,519
and because we've got fans everywhere that are church related

772
00:39:08,559 --> 00:39:11,920
and whatnot. And but you know, just to jump back

773
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,440
to the game real quick, something that I a couple

774
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,719
of things that I that stood out to me that

775
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,119
I hadn't really paid as much attention to. But one

776
00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:22,159
one was the pocket presence of bear Bachmer one hundred

777
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:25,760
percent is improved. Oh yeah, I mean just his ability

778
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,519
to step up to make a move. But then the

779
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:32,679
decision making. I mean there were there were two specific plays.

780
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,519
One was a hand off to LJ where he had

781
00:39:34,519 --> 00:39:37,039
shifted LG to one side, and then hurried and shifted

782
00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:39,000
him right back and handed the ballun lg ran for

783
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,679
like thirteen yards and it was like he saw it,

784
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,239
changed the play and moved him over. And then the

785
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,519
one went with to Preston Rex. You know that that

786
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,239
it was that was the third read was president. If

787
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,199
you weren't paying attention to that, it looked like that

788
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:55,039
was the play call.

789
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 2: And then you go watch it and he goes one

790
00:39:58,519 --> 00:40:00,800
to two to three and throws.

791
00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 7: It and it Yeah, and I'm ready to see a

792
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,960
little bit more Preston, you know, get him in the

793
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:06,519
open field.

794
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 2: He's finally healthy. You saw he's more.

795
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 3: Accelerated, accelerative, he's he's more explosive.

796
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 2: He's faster than what he was even a week ago.

797
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,199
Speaker 7: And I think a Rod's gonna find some ways to

798
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,280
get him the ball in open space.

799
00:40:21,679 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 2: He's not the brute. He's not gonna you know, running

800
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:24,960
through the tackles in the guard.

801
00:40:26,199 --> 00:40:28,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, he get him on that outside and and yeah,

802
00:40:28,639 --> 00:40:30,840
and LJ made a great block on that that run in.

803
00:40:31,159 --> 00:40:32,800
But yeah, that was one day. And and then and

804
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,639
then our secondary, I mean our I was so impressed.

805
00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:40,719
But he's guys playing man almost the entire game and

806
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:45,320
they could lock down to where Dan Pierre was having

807
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,159
such a hard time finding somebody open, and he had

808
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,960
plenty of time, you know, and and uh and then

809
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,360
you know he'd scramble and have to get laid out

810
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,400
and throw it away and take a pic here, and

811
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:57,119
you know.

812
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: So I was just impressed by by those stats. I

813
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,199
was happy to see us get out of.

814
00:41:02,119 --> 00:41:06,119
Speaker 7: There without any major injuries and and uh, you know,

815
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,760
no targeting calls, and yeah, it.

816
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,679
Speaker 2: Was a fun game. It's fun to see.

817
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 7: I don't feel like there's gonna be quite the letdown

818
00:41:13,519 --> 00:41:15,719
that we had last year after the Utah game, because

819
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,159
the energy, even as a being at the stadium and

820
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,519
leaving after the energy, you didn't feel drained like last

821
00:41:21,559 --> 00:41:24,519
year you're leaving you were like, wow, I don't even

822
00:41:24,519 --> 00:41:25,519
know if I can get up tomorrow.

823
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.

824
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,079
Speaker 2: It was draining. So this year, I think we're gonna

825
00:41:28,119 --> 00:41:29,079
be in a better state.

826
00:41:29,159 --> 00:41:32,119
Speaker 7: And but we got a difficult, difficult battle ahead and

827
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,039
one game at a time, let's see where we go.

828
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,960
