It is time to talk about stats. I want to

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,600
talk about NFL combines. That's how many players from buy

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,280
you got the invite to the NFL combine and in

21
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,880
which of these players on Boy's roster that are taking

22
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,799
their tents to the NFL. Maybe deserved it an NFL

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:09,200
combined invite. Also Big twelve team invites. How many from

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,439
each team got invites? We'll discuss that here in this segment.

25
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:15,439

us on Instagram at ESPN the Fan. All right, let's

37
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:54,680
discuss this two invites from Brigham Young University. Jack Zach Kelly,

38
00:01:55,959 --> 00:02:00,760
highly talented, highly productive college football player. Originally Weaver State

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,719
and transferred to by You balled out for Brigham the

40
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:07,640
last two years, fought through injuries and still made a

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,319
lot of Hay second quarterbacks, getting Italian TFLs and just

42
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,840
making plays all over the football field. His closing speed

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,800
very very impressive, most impressive, and so there's no doubt

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,120
Jack Kelly deserved an invite. Okay, he was also one

45
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:31,159
of two players that got the invite to the Senior Bowl.

46
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,120
Many times the Senior Bowl invite is indicative of an

47
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,479
NFL Combine invite. Not always, but many times that is

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,879
the case. Now, I don't think Chase Roberts got an

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,240
invite to the Senior Bowl, the Panini Senior Bowl. He

50
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:51,199
did get invited to the second tier, which is East

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,360
West Shrine Bowl, and he showcased his talents well there.

52
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,560
But I found it interesting, you know, Chase Roberts obviously

53
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,960
got Chase Robs probably one of the most productive players

54
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,800
coming out of BYU in his career. He had a

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,360
great career at BYU. He's got the height, he's got

56
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,520
the way. He's a big body receiver that can do

57
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,199
a lot of damage as an outside receiver or an

58
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:16,520
inside receiver. In my opinion over his career, one hundred

59
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,680
and seventy receptions two thousand five or eighty six yards

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,039
fifteen point two yards per reception, eighteen touchdowns and he

61
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:25,639
and he had eleven rushes for thirty six yards. I

62
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,639
forgot about that. He toted the rock on occasion and

63
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:32,039
just an overall great football player. So he got the invite,

64
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,479
and I think, I hope, I hope he tests out

65
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:39,360
well and turned some heads there at the NFL Combine. Now,

66
00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:42,280
the biggest surprise, the biggest snup to me was actually

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,719
Will Farren. Now here's a caveat here. They only invite

68
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,759
six specialists. They invited four punters and three place kickers.

69
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,280
Will Farron can do both, but he's obviously a placekicker.

70
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:56,520
Got a massive leg, big leg, and you know, you

71
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,639
can say, you can make an argument that Will wasn't

72
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:04,800
as a effective as efficient in his senior year as

73
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:10,240
he was in his junior year, right, And that's statistically accurate.

74
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,800
In twenty twenty three, he was eleven of fourteen. Okay,

75
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:19,480
he was one of one between the twenty to twenty

76
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,879
nine yard range. He was four four, thirty to thirty nine,

77
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,240
six of seven and forty to forty nine and then

78
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,560
zero for two and fifty plus long long field goals.

79
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,759
Twenty twenty four was an elite year for him, though,

80
00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:32,920
twenty four to twenty seven made field goals eighty eight

81
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:38,199
point nine percent efficiency. He was eleven of twelve from

82
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,759
thirty to thirty nine he was forty. He was six

83
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,800
of seven from forty through forty nine, and then he

84
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:49,120
was four or five and fifty plus yarders. This season

85
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,040
he was twenty three of thirty seventy six point seven,

86
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,920
so his worst percentage of his career. He was eleven

87
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,839
to eleven from twenty to twenty nine yards. He was

88
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,160
six of six of perfect from thirty to thirty nine,

89
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,920
So within forty he was perfect. Essentially, I guess well

90
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,160
under thirty nine, where he missed the most was actually

91
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:12,160
from forty to forty nine yards he was two of seven,

92
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:15,920
the worst in his career. Fifty plus he was actually

93
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,639
pretty gosh daan accurate. He was four to six from

94
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,160
fifty yards plus, which is tremendous. Where he lacked was

95
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:25,959
that forty to forty nine yard range for whatever reason.

96
00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:29,639
Total points tallied in his career two hundred ninety six.

97
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,000
He is one of the best in BYU football history.

98
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:33,920
Shout out to Wilfare in the six Foo three hundred

99
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,920
and seventy five Powder out of Kaysville, Utah, the Boise

100
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,759
State transfer. You can make an argument that this man

101
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,040
got snubbed from the NFL Combine because guys that didn't

102
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,360
get invited to the Senior Bowl got an invite to

103
00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:50,519
the Combine. Tommy Tommy Doman Junior, Florida, Ryan Eckley, Michigan State,

104
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,720
Tray Smack, Florida. Drew Stevens, Iowa. He Drew was at

105
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:59,680
the Senior Bowl. Jack Stonehouse, Syracuse, Brett Thorson, Georgia, Dominique Zavada, Michigan.

106
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,720
So I think you can make an argument that Will

107
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:05,839
deserved an invite to the Combine did not get it,

108
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,879
and it's unfortunate. I'm a little bit ticked. I'm a

109
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:11,759
little bit t oed, if you will. I thought Will

110
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,920
got a little bit shorter considering the body of work

111
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:17,920
that he's produced at Brigham Young University. Career eighty one

112
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:23,079
point seven percent field goal kicker and fantastic. Obviously I'm

113
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,480
Pats too. I don't know if he's ever missed a

114
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,959
pat quite honestly, and really good football player, really good

115
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:32,839
field goal kicker, anybody else that got snubbed here? And Ronnie,

116
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,600
I know you're pretty te oed about this as well,

117
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,800
regarding will Fair number will Fair number forty four on

118
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,079
the football field, number one in our hearts more often.

119
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: Than not one hundred percent.

120
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:43,879
Speaker 4: And you just listed to stats there didn't miss a

121
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,519
pat from what I have gathered him from my stats

122
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,279
going back at least his time at BYU is unfortunate

123
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,000
being because the guy that kicks eighty two percent of

124
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,839
his career, even with maybe a down year as you

125
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:56,000
call it, you wouldn't you would not think that a

126
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,000
guy wouldn't have especially after getting a Senior Bowl invite. Look,

127
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,600
he's still gonna be kicking out on Sundays. Someone's gonna

128
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,360
take me. Still gonna make a name for himself. But

129
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,079
a shame on the NFL combine for not putting him

130
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:08,439
as one of the six specialists. Another guy, Ben I

131
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:12,040
think that you could is look a big Isaiah Jada.

132
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:15,160
I mean, you know this is another guy like you know, uh,

133
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,360
you know kayle bt In Tree.

134
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: I think Isaiah Jada is a guy.

135
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: When Isaiah was at his best been he was a

136
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,959
top level tackle in this conference and it's really hard

137
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:28,199
to beat that. And I think a lot of by

138
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:30,839
US production when you saw LJ. Martin, you know, and

139
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:32,759
in the run game where you saw Baart Lee block

140
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,680
it was sometimes you know, not just Andrew Gentry, but

141
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,279
Isaiah Jatda. He had you know, that blindside and making

142
00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:40,680
sure that you know, Bar didn't get killed obviously, and

143
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,639
he did a great job. That's another guy I think

144
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:44,240
that could could have an argument.

145
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,199
Speaker 3: That's played.

146
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,399
Speaker 4: You know, they did it at a high level of

147
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:49,199
the P four level with b YU against you know,

148
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,639
the Colorado's, the Arizona's, the Texas Tech.

149
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: So that's another guy you could potentially make an argument for.

150
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: But those are probably my four is is Jack, Chase

151
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,759
Will and then Isaiah That's probably what I would I

152
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,839
would go with maybe another guy who has a good

153
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:06,560
resume and he might be a good undrafted free agent.

154
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,879
I think whaling Lap who's gonna end up on the roster.

155
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:12,319
Whaling's really good, been at the guard position. When Whaland's healthy,

156
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,839
he's as good as he gets. And you saw where

157
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:18,040
Bou was maybe missing him a little bit, and when

158
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,399
you saw him in the lineup, he saw how the

159
00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:21,319
run game definitely changed for sure.

160
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: So for those of the guys I'm probably.

161
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:25,079
Speaker 1: Going with, Yeah, some people are a little bit Bantetner

162
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,040
shape that Carson Ryan didn't get a look. The six

163
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,439
foot four, two hundred and fifty pounds Rechert senior out

164
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:33,320
of or Utah, American Fork Utah, an individual that played

165
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,000
a lot of football at the P four level u

166
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,080
c l A Utah, And of course Brigham Young. He

167
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,960
had his best season of his career at BYU this

168
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,279
past year and was the highest rated, highest graded pro

169
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,240
football focused tight end in college football. So some people

170
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:50,720
are gonna have a little bit of weeping whaling and

171
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,440
national teeth Reguard and Carson Ryan, and that's uh that

172
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,519
that's an argument that I think that could be made.

173
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,639
Career wise, I think he was really good. Seventy four

174
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,360
cent ony, twenty yards, thirteen point eight yards per reception,

175
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,360
seven touchdowns, you know, really good. Maybe that maybe that's

176
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,759
a little bit of stretch, but he was good. He

177
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,240
was a good tight end and one of the best

178
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:12,279
blocking tight ends I think in college football as well.

179
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,600
That's why his PFF grade was so high because he

180
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,759
would engage, he would lock in, and he would drive

181
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,039
defensive ends and linebackers off the line of scrimmage. Okay,

182
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,200
and he would get to the second level be very

183
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,120
bounced when you sletched out. He was really good at

184
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:30,919
taking on any nickel guys do. He's pretty flee to foot,

185
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,200
pretty agile to quick and staying in front of some

186
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,600
of those quicker more difficult to block defensive back. So

187
00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:40,799
Carson Ryan, I think you make an argument for him

188
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:44,639
to get an invite. Garrison Grimes, remember got an invite

189
00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:46,200
I think to the East West Rand Ball. As a

190
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,360
long snapper. You can maybe say, hey, you know he deserved,

191
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,720
but I don't think deep snappers typically get the invite.

192
00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:54,600
If I'm not mistaking how many how many deep snappers

193
00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:57,120
actually got an invite to the Compine.

194
00:09:56,639 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 4: Former BYU you know, long deep snapper Austin Riggs got

195
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,600
one to you know, go when he transferred to Rugords.

196
00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:05,240
So maybe some do. Maybe it's like the specialist, but

197
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:07,480
that's a good question. The question being I have for

198
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:09,600
you is do you think if Carson would have had

199
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,200
back to back seasons? And maybe it's a production thing, right,

200
00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:15,159
I don't know how he would test not knowledgeable in

201
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,039
that department, but maybe you could shed some light if

202
00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:19,679
he had this season that he had with bou if

203
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,120
he would have done that prior with Utah or if

204
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,600
he had another year with the BYU, does he get

205
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,960
an invited to my question, So I'm looking at the numbers.

206
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: The two type of players that get invited to that

207
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,879
get invited to the NFL combine, in my opinion, are

208
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,759
individuals that have elite upside, elite tangibles, elite athleticism, or

209
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,080
they have pure just ridiculous volume. Right, You're just they're

210
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,360
so flimitous in your stats, like they have to bring

211
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:48,200
in because you're just an elite football Remember this is

212
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,440
the this is this is the one percent that make

213
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,320
it to the NFL. Okay, this is the one percent.

214
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,519
So the invites you're you're talking about the best of

215
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,600
the best in volume, but you know you're also the

216
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,360
best of the best in in in the tangibles and athleticism.

217
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,639
So I think Corson Reyman is used as a good

218
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,159
football player. He's an undrafted free agent type. He could

219
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,000
be a late round pick as well because of his

220
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,600
blocking ability and his ability to run good routes, great

221
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,759
separation in tight spaces. But he's gonna have to earn everything.

222
00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:23,440
He's gonna have to earn everything, in my opinion, and

223
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,519
that's just the way it is, you know who low

224
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,600
key would be an interesting like. I don't think his

225
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,320
volume was there, I don't think his his tangibles are there,

226
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:36,960
but was a great college football player Logan Litwo. He's

227
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,639
an interesting study. He's had some injury issues as well,

228
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,559
but yeah, you know, yeah, I guess you can. You're

229
00:11:42,639 --> 00:11:45,919
not gonna necessarily see him get that that invite, but

230
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,840
really good football player. Nonetheless, another guy that I think

231
00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:51,480
is gonna make it in the NFL, just not didn't

232
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,919
get that invite. Moriy Bomba I think is gonna make

233
00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:56,759
it in the NFL. I really believe that. I think

234
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,720
Tanner Wall is gonna get a shot as well as

235
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,879
an undirect free agent. He's to test out really well.

236
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,200
Morey's going to blow everybody away with his testing ability

237
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:08,200
in my opinion. But as far as the biggest gripes

238
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,960
that you're having right now that didn't get the invite

239
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,559
to the NFL combine, it's it's probably Will Farren and

240
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,080
probably Carson Bryan. Those are the two guys that you're

241
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,919
gonna complain the most about. But check this out and

242

in with the NFL combine for each Big twelve team,

260
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:17,320
if you will. Texas Tech, no surprise here eight eight

261
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,240
of them. Really good football team. Obviously a college football

262
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,519
playoff football team. Very impressive. Most impressive TCU with five,

263
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:29,600
Utah with five, Arizona State with four, Baylor with four,

264
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,639
Cincinnati with four, Arizona with three, Kansas with three, b

265
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,120
YU with two, Houston with two, Kansas State with two,

266
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,639
UCF with two, Iowa State with one, Colorado zero, Oklahoma

267
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:47,120
State zero, West Virginia zero. What conclusions can be drawn

268
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:49,559
from the stats? Ronald the three man Weaver.

269
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 4: I think, look, I mean the top two teams that

270
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,240
went to the Big twelve Conference Championship.

271
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: Game been you know, have you know the most invites?

272
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,519
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I don't want to go and say

273
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:04,600
pay for players, because everybody's paying. But when you pay

274
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,919
for talent and the talent produces, I think it correlates. Right,

275
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,279
you have to look at it in that regard relating

276
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,279
to wins, and because coaches can put players in positions,

277
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,200
but players have to make plays. But that that's not

278
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,159
a coincidence. Bent it's not an anomaly. I mean, that's

279
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,679
gonna keep happening the more you got have. Look just

280
00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:24,039
look at Boy's roster right now that's coming back in

281
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,519
the junior and seniors. How many invites are on this

282
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:30,120
future twenty twenty six twenty seven BIOIU football team.

283
00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: Then LJ.

284
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:33,519
Speaker 4: Martin, if he has a good season count of Tonavasa.

285
00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:36,000
You know you're thinking Fala Tasa tula if he decides

286
00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:38,720
to go. Evan Johnson like, there's a lot of people

287
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,519
who are gonna have invites, And I think that's how

288
00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:42,200
you look at it when you correlate.

289
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: So no surprise with Texas deck and then you know

290
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:45,000
by you and others.

291
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you can. You got Keanu Obviouslyvan Johnson.

292
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,759
You could say Isaiah Glasker could have done it as well.

293
00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: Zach Glaska.

294
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, there's there, you know, because

295
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,000
you have some tangibles there, there's there's gonna be h

296
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,759
a slew of invites this next year. You can make

297
00:15:02,799 --> 00:15:05,919
an argument that the senior class not as strong as

298
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000
the junior class that BYU yes will will eventually put

299
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,679
out after this season, which boats well I think for

300
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:16,960
BYU from a productivity standpoint. This year wins lost standpoint,

301
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,360
and you expect to a certain degree another double digit

302
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:22,960
win season from b YU if they can find some

303
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,480
depth at certain key positions RB two, QB two, maybe

304
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:31,120
along the offensive line. If these transfers are as advertised,

305
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,159
but the defense is pretty stacked, I'd say the defense

306
00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:38,440
is very, very stacked. They're they're a brick house right now.

307
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,159
They are stacked top to bottom. And they have some

308
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:42,679
good depth as well. I don't know if there's really

309
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,639
any depth issues outside of the cornerback room at BYU,

310
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,879
but you have some up and comers that could fill

311
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:52,679
a big role. But one thing I will say about

312
00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:55,840
the only the two invites from BUU, I still wholeheartedly

313
00:15:55,879 --> 00:16:02,080
believe that BYU is a developmental program that that that

314
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:06,039
maximizes the talent and the clay that they receive right

315
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,879
they they they produce high level football teams and high

316
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,360
level football players that aren't always viewed as the premier

317
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,639
NFL talents. I mean, I can go through the list.

318
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:24,159
Danny Sorenson was a fantastic football player. He got the

319
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:27,600
invite to the Combine and did really well, and he

320
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,919
still was an undrafted free agent. He set a record

321
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,039
in the three code at the NFL Combine and still

322
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,080
was an undrafted free agent. You know what I mean, Like,

323
00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:39,080
it's it's crazy to me that that happened. And maybe

324
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,120
it's because of his age, maybe because he served the mission, whatever,

325
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,399
but he went to the combine and impressed and killed

326
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:46,440
it and he was highly productive at you and still

327
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:50,159
was relegated undrafted free agency. So there's a component to

328
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,840
this that I think is very intriguing. I think NFL

329
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:56,440
gms know they can let they don't have to invite

330
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,080
Okay in the NFL and gener they don't have to

331
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,759
invite Bay. You guys so much bang for your buck

332
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:05,240
with a b YU guy. Look at Pooka who got

333
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,960
I mean in his draft class, the for what you

334
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,240
paid for him and the position at which you drafted him.

335
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:18,000
There wasn't a better pick in the NFL draft that's

336
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,200
that year. And you could make similar arguments in seasons

337
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:26,720
past to certain football players. I mean, Austin Cawley was

338
00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:30,119
a great value pick for the Indneapolis Colts, a mid

339
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,559
round pick that by his sophomore season was leading the

340
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,559
league in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. He was on his

341
00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:41,079
way to having an elite season before it was derailed

342
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:45,799
by concussions Okay, and some injuries derailed it. So there's

343
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:48,240
there's been plenty of value picks over the year. For

344
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:54,359
how about Kiris Tonga seventh round pick played a significant

345
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,960
role for the New England Patriots and their and their

346
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,920
their foray into this suit Super Bowl this year, so

347
00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:04,599
like you can go down the list, like Harvey Longer

348
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,640
was in the league for a long time. Okay, I

349
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,680
didn't get drafted underdrafted free agent. He was one of

350
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,400
the most high priority undrafted free agents. I think he

351
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,119
got paid the most in his bonus structure in the

352
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,119
undrafted free agent market coming out of his draft class.

353
00:18:20,279 --> 00:18:24,279
Harvey Longe, a converted running back to linebacker at b YU,

354
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,240
hadn't played in really a ton of football. So I

355
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,319
don't know there's something there that I would say the

356
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,880
NFL values b YU guys, but they always know that

357
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,920
they can get him on the cheap. Does that make sense?

358
00:18:38,079 --> 00:18:41,400
They can get them for the bargain. Brigham Young Price.

359
00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 4: R Ryan Rico, I mean, look Ryan Ryan, Yeah, Ry Rico.

360
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,599
I mean that's the prime example. One of the best punters,

361
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,319
guy that went undrafted. And look, I mean still punting

362
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,839
up there. I mean he's been to be one of

363
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,079
the best. I mean right there, absolutely the production.

364
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 3: You're not wrong then even Tyler Algier Tyler, and he's

365
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,880
gonna be a free agent. We'll see a free.

366
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:06,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see how much. Yeah, it's like you want Kevin.

367
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,000
I keep on saying Kevin k v n H took

368
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:13,680
to Twitter recently and and gave a big shout out.

369
00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:15,160
Actually the tyler owse.

370
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 3: You yes he did, telling him Denver's the place.

371
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,759
Speaker 1: Denver's the place he can be an rb uh rb

372
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,079
one there alongside kind of the thunder and lightning with

373
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,960
uh Harvey r J Harvey, who's a little bit undersized.

374
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,599
Uh and uh you know, more more of a scat back,

375
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,640
not in every downback per somes so for some people. Right.

376
00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:40,079
So anyway, Uh, look, you get you get your r

377
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,359
o I with the b YU Cougar football player, is

378
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,839
what I'm saying. Obviously k v n was a second

379
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,079
round pick. Uh and uh he's he's played a long time,

380
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,000
long healthy career. You got your r o Y with him.

381
00:19:51,079 --> 00:19:53,160
But you get a lot of value picks in my opinion,

382
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:58,119
with these b y U guys. So you know, but

383
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,160
I also say, you look at all the wins that

384
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,519
Bway's producing with supposed inferior talent. Remember we talked a

385
00:20:05,519 --> 00:20:09,319
lot about two four seven's composite talent ranking for Bowie's

386
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,319
roster this last season seventieth seventieth in college football. Yet

387
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,880
they went twelve and two, knocking on the door of

388
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,400
a CFP Earth. Okay, So there's something to it, and

389
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,000
I think it's actually a good thing when all things

390
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:24,720
are said and done, because guys are still making in

391
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:28,680
the NFL, making it into the NFL and having success

392
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,240
in the NFL, and they're sticking in the NFL's a

393
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,839
Anderson undrafted free agent and continually he's continually found a

394
00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:39,319
way to stay on the football field. Okay. I was

395
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,960
getting hated on by Utah fans for years because I

396
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,079
said Zane Anderson would start at Utah and you know,

397
00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:51,799
was just as good or better than Chase Hansen and

398
00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:54,440
would have a longer NFL career. With Chase Hanson, Everyone's like,

399
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,400
you don't know ball, You're not a ball noer. I

400
00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:01,759
was right. I was right. Now, we don't know if

401
00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:03,440
you would have started at you though. That was just

402
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:06,359
that was more of a hot take about the current situation,

403
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:10,160
and that's okay. But Zaye has had a longer, more

404
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,920
lustrous and a better career NFL career than Chase. And

405
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,240
I'm not trying to knock Chase Anderss a phenomenal football player.

406
00:21:16,279 --> 00:21:18,039
Wish he would have been a b YU Cougar for

407
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,160
the love of all that's holly. He would have been

408
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,799
fantastic at b YU and and uh, but but still

409
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:27,759
like the take that to take it. Jaron Hall I

410
00:21:27,759 --> 00:21:29,640
said was going to be a NFL draftic, Zach Wilson

411
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,039
was going to be a NFL draft pick. I said,

412
00:21:31,079 --> 00:21:33,319
Keaton slove Is was going to be in the league.

413
00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:34,799
Kay I didn't say he'd be a draft PI, but

414
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:36,519
he'd be a high priority on driver free agent. He's

415
00:21:36,519 --> 00:21:38,359
stick in the league because he's an NFL talent, and

416
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,759
lobehold he's still in the league. So I know NFL

417
00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:44,039
talent when I see it. I know NFL talent when

418
00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:46,720
I see it, and I think the the NFL also

419
00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:49,079
knows NFL talent when they see it. And that's why.

420
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,720
Remember Keen Slove's got the invite to the NFL Combine.

421
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:53,960
He went to he'sa a shrineball, then got invites at

422
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,359
the combine and showcased that big ol'd army ran a

423
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:06,240
leading the fleet of foot, just a blazing fast for

424
00:22:06,279 --> 00:22:09,519
a quarterback of your size, forty times a laser. It

425
00:22:09,559 --> 00:22:12,599
was beautiful, it was grant it was marvelous. By you

475
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,759
a few sound bites, as you will, if you will,

476
00:24:35,839 --> 00:24:39,839
is Darren Peterson's availability right now, mister D and P

477
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,640
a big issue for Kansas. Bruce Pearl chiming in on

478
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:48,599
this legendary coach. This is what he had to say

479
00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:49,680
about D and P.

480
00:24:54,839 --> 00:24:56,279
Speaker 3: With him, they're really good without him.

481
00:24:56,519 --> 00:24:58,319
Speaker 5: You know the differences. He doesn't have a ball in

482
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,319
his hands when he's not playing out this and the

483
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,480
other guys that got to do more.

484
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't think.

485
00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:05,039
Speaker 5: This is going to affect his draft stock because I

486
00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:06,839
think everybody that I talked to in the league he

487
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,440
still looks like the number one guy.

488
00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 3: But if I was coaching in the NBA.

489
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I would have some concern missing eleven out

490
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,839
of twenty four games for hamstrings and cord polls and illness,

491
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,559
just a long list of different things. My job is

492
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:23,160
to coach a team. My job is to win championship.

493
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,759
General manager gotta make another decision, I'd be I would

494
00:25:25,759 --> 00:25:29,640
be a little concerned about you know, just how tough

495
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,000
he is.

496
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,279
Speaker 6: You know, it's a very interesting thing when you talk

497
00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:37,519
about health. That's something that you can prepare for a season,

498
00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:39,599
but you don't know when an injury is coming. Guy

499
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,720
once said to me, you only have so many jumps

500
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,640
in your body. You don't know when the last one

501
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,440
is going to be. And for a kid like Darren Peterson,

502
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,599
I'm not necessarily concerned.

503
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: I'd rather have him on the court and.

504
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 6: Let him adjust to his body and what he can

505
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,799
actually do. He's a premier talent. At the end of

506
00:25:56,839 --> 00:25:59,160
the day, when he's on the court, he can He's

507
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,319
probably the best on the court at any particular moment.

508
00:26:02,759 --> 00:26:04,279
Speaker 1: I'm not really concerned about him.

509
00:26:04,319 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 6: One thing that I've learned in watching Kansas play is

510
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,480
when he's out of the lineup, they've all gotten better.

511
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:14,240
And when he's inserted. Yeah, when he's inserted, they know

512
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:16,759
how to play around that as well. They play much

513
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:19,079
more in jailing those. It's much more of an NBA

514
00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:21,960
pro style where you can insert people in and out

515
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,279
and it doesn't affect performance. So I like him in

516
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:25,759
the lineup.

517
00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:26,559
Speaker 1: I don't think it's.

518
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 6: Necessarily because his body breaks down that it's a toughness issue.

519
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,119
I think it's a soft tissue issue, and I think

520
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,960
it's cautionary on his side as well.

521
00:26:34,079 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 7: Right, but mash if he has a soft tissue issue,

522
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,920
playing collegiate collegiate schedule, not getting to the NBA, play

523
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:44,039
two times more games in the backcourt, going against some

524
00:26:44,079 --> 00:26:46,359
of the fastest people in the world and needing to

525
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,400
defend and fight through screens and stuff like that, I

526
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,079
feel like it will affect his draft stop because he's

527
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,400
still a terrific poor performer, and you use the perfect

528
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,640
word premiere, like he's a premierest player. But there are

529
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,960
certain players, unfortunately, there are injury prom But you.

530
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 6: Also think about it like this, the Wars. Now in

531
00:27:06,279 --> 00:27:08,160
the NBA, you got to play sixty five games. There's

532
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:08,839
a reason for that.

533
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:15,799
Speaker 8: They talk about his future.

534
00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 3: I'm curious if he's gonna lay March madness because the

535
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,400
future Kyrie played seventh.

536
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,519
Speaker 8: Well, I'm not gonna, but I want to see him

537
00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:21,920
in March.

538
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: All right. Look, I I've said this time and time again,

539
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,640
your best abilities, your availability. I do think there is

540
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,759
a certain amount of like uh of of you know,

541
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,960
just productivity that you expect from a first round first

542
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,920
overall pick and sitting out as many games as Darren

543
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,200
Peterson has for whether it's it's contrived, whether it's real

544
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:52,839
or fictitious, I don't know. But the sighted issues are cramping,

545
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:58,319
quad strains, hamstring, ankle rolls, flu I mean you name it,

546
00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:01,839
the sniffles. I mean, look, there's there's always something wrong

547
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,599
with d M P and so like it should take

548
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,680
his stock, it should reduce his stock. The problem is this,

549
00:28:08,759 --> 00:28:13,000
and Bruce powl Pearl brings it up. There are gms

550
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,960
that are tasked in acquiring talent, evaluating talent, and their

551
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:23,319
administrative staff, right, and they're they're scouting staff, and they

552
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,200
answer to the ownership. Right, they answer to the ownership.

553
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,960
There's no doubt about it. It's the coach's job to

554
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:31,720
coach them, right. Whatever the GM and the and the

555
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,880
ownership wants to bring in. So there has been since

556
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,000
the the the inception of the of the of the

557
00:28:40,119 --> 00:28:46,359
current m b a uh I guess operational organizations, you

558
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,880
know how they operate on the daily, on the year

559
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,079
lead right. There has been enmity at times between coaches

560
00:28:52,319 --> 00:28:56,000
and gms and even scouts one hundred percent. They don't

561
00:28:56,119 --> 00:28:59,000
like the culture fits, they don't like the personality fits,

562
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,440
they don't like the skill set fits. But they are

563
00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:05,759
tasked as coaches to make it work. And that's the problem.

564
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,960
That's the problem. You very well could go out and

565
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
get Darren. He could be a number one overall pick

566
00:29:10,319 --> 00:29:11,960
because the GM wants him and they don't want to

567
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,920
miss out on a premier talent, one of the most

568
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,559
polished scores they ever come out of the collegiate ranks.

569
00:29:17,119 --> 00:29:21,279
And the coach is like, this kid doesn't like basketball.

570
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,400
This kid doesn't like to play basketball, doesn't like the

571
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,880
competing basketball. He just wants to make money and then

572
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,519
go do with the money whatever he wants to do.

573
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:30,519
He's not about to create a legacy, doesn't want to

574
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:33,319
create a legacy. He doesn't want to create a championship run.

575
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,119
He's in it through the transaction. That's it. He will

576
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:40,519
be a load managing Kawhi Leonard from the get go,

577
00:29:40,759 --> 00:29:43,720
and and he's just not upbout into building a championship squad.

578
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,599
And that's unfortunate. In the name of entertainment, maybe it happens,

579
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,279
but in the name of the request for a championship,

580
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:55,519
it probably shouldn't happen. They should be his stock should drop.

581
00:29:55,559 --> 00:29:59,759
Maybe it's dropping for some for some pure organizations that

582
00:29:59,799 --> 00:30:03,039
are out winning. For others they're like, hey, this is uh,

583
00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:06,200
this is too good to pass up off. We got

584
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,319
to take dnp Ronald your thoughts.

585
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is interesting and we're gonna ask you. I'm

586
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,960
gonna ask this question to Chancellor Johnson, you know been

587
00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:18,119
he's a Big twelve analyst and a consecrator. He's over there, like,

588
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,079
what what are his thoughts on this? Like, if you

589
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,519
are a a organization, this guy's have an injury issues.

590
00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:27,279
You see what happened with Kawhi Leonard. Yes, Kawhi will

591
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:29,039
go down. You know it's a great but you're talking

592
00:30:29,079 --> 00:30:31,559
about years. You're trying to win multiple championships. You're trying

593
00:30:31,599 --> 00:30:33,319
to have a guy that could do the lebron and

594
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,400
Steph Curry. You want to You want teams like that,

595
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,200
You want guys to play. You don't want to pay

596
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,200
a guy to sit out, no matter how good he is,

597
00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:41,480
especially with this league draft guys could have guy like

598
00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:44,240
AJ passed him up because he is playing in showcase

599
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,240
and that I think he can. But I mean, look,

600
00:30:46,279 --> 00:30:48,319
you just heard what he and that's the conflict, right,

601
00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:50,880
that's the issue going on with maybe the Utah Jazz

602
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,319
and head coach and you know, ownership and other things

603
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:57,160
like okay, so what's the issue and basketball operations. All

604
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,480
of those guys, you know, have to be on the

605
00:30:58,519 --> 00:31:01,160
same page, and sometimes they are. And I look, from

606
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,519
my standpoint as not even a fan of the game,

607
00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:05,680
if I'm in that position of what Bruce Pearl said

608
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,640
as a coach, I don't like that. I need my

609
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,079
player to be available. You know why been because guess what,

610
00:31:10,119 --> 00:31:11,279
you know what happens at the end of the day.

611
00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:13,839
You know this the GM or the owners and that

612
00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:16,839
they're gonna fire me. They're gonna fire me if they were.

613
00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:19,839
That guy's gonna cash a paycheck. And this happens even

614
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,160
in the NFL. But less that guy's gonna cash a

615
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,440
paycheck and still make fifty million a year and I'm

616
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,440
gonna be out of a job because he won't play

617
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,960
like And I just think to protect the coaches, to

618
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:32,359
protect your organization, the general manager.

619
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,039
Speaker 3: The director of basketball operations, don't do that. Don't not.

620
00:31:36,279 --> 00:31:37,440
I'm not saying pass on the guy.

621
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 4: He's still a top three pick, but what I'm saying

622
00:31:39,759 --> 00:31:41,720
is just be mindful of that because you're gonna call

623
00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:43,759
someone their job and I'm just not in the business

624
00:31:43,799 --> 00:31:45,480
of doing that. And I think Bruce Pearl brings up

625
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,640
a great point. If this continues, even at the next level.

626
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,079
Speaker 3: I'm serious.

627
00:31:49,079 --> 00:31:51,279
Speaker 4: I'm saying it right now, and again it might not right,

628
00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:54,160
we don't know. But if he's sitting out in NBA games,

629
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,039
if that becomes the norm, there's going to be some

630
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,680
general manager, some uh, you know, person in ownership, some

631
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,680
coach is going to lose their job because of the

632
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,359
team that Darren Peterson happens to be on.

633
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,119
Speaker 1: Let's get into Gary Parrish's thoughts on this. There's just

634
00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:14,160
been a lot of unusual things connected to him. This

635
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:19,200
is what he had to say about Darren Peterson's DNP situation.

636
00:32:19,559 --> 00:32:22,119
Speaker 8: That was big time on Monday night at Allen Field House.

637
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,279
We really had just a run over the past few days.

638
00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:29,720
Friday night, yukon Saint John's a tremendous Saturday. We paused

639
00:32:29,759 --> 00:32:31,759
on Sunday to watch a little football, but then on

640
00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:34,200
Monday we get right back to it. The story is

641
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,960
obviously Darren Peterson. You saw Bill self all the joy

642
00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:41,160
excitement postgame. I've seen him win final four games and

643
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,119
not showed that kind of emotion, so you know this

644
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:44,839
was a big deal, and to be able to do

645
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,000
it without the presumed number one pick in the draft

646
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:50,799
makes it even more so. As for what it actually means,

647
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,240
it's just unusual. I can't sit on television and criticize

648
00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:56,240
a young man for not playing, but there's been a

649
00:32:56,319 --> 00:32:59,440
lot of unusual things connected to him and not trying

650
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,960
to play through when we watch other players do it,

651
00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:04,400
not trying to play through flu like symptoms when we

652
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,920
watch other players do it. Obviously, he was a late

653
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,519
scratch in that game, which brings about a ton of

654
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:11,920
more questions. But hopefully this is the last time we

655
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,599
talk about Darren Peterson missing a game and everything going

656
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,440
forward is about him being on the court.

657
00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:21,799
Speaker 1: Is this the last game that Darren Peterson's going to

658
00:33:21,839 --> 00:33:24,640
sit out this season? Do you think not anymore?

659
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 3: No more?

660
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:26,279
Speaker 1: Does you sit out?

661
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,359
Speaker 4: I mean it's a very good question. I mean, when

662
00:33:28,359 --> 00:33:29,599
you look at it and it seems like he just

663
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,640
wants the premiere match up. Look, Ben, let's call it

664
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,240
what it is. Whether I mean, I.

665
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,279
Speaker 1: Like, he had an opportunity for a premiure match he

666
00:33:35,319 --> 00:33:36,279
set up to the UVE game.

667
00:33:36,359 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 3: He did.

668
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: But I just, I mean, they say he's sick. I

669
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,759
can't say if a player is not sick. I just

670
00:33:39,799 --> 00:33:42,519
but Kyle Collinsworth puts something on on Twitter that I

671
00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:44,920
agree with. When you're sick, Ben, when you've been bed ridden, right,

672
00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:46,759
when you're sick, in general, either you play through it

673
00:33:46,839 --> 00:33:49,039
or you see, like when AJ was sick, he visibly

674
00:33:49,079 --> 00:33:51,680
looked sick. This guy's doing toe tutches and looks fine

675
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,440
and then there's conversation. It just looks sketchy, Ben, That's

676
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,839
what it looks like. It looks questionable, and you don't

677
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,119
like questionable behavior, Like, Okay, you're sitting out against Arizona.

678
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,799
Speaker 3: Is it because you might get locked up and you

679
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:03,559
didn't play well?

680
00:34:03,599 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, they won a Texas Tech game and he

681
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,799
hit the last two shots, but he didn't play necessarily

682
00:34:07,839 --> 00:34:10,159
the best same with Utah is that Watson I have

683
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,239
back to back back games.

684
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,039
Speaker 3: It seems like he's.

685
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 4: Just trying to make sure he can show up for

686
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,239
one good game during the week. And this is just

687
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,760
how it looks. I don't know. I'm not in the camp.

688
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,320
I don't want that to be the case, but with

689
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,559
the way it looks, it does. Like, Okay, so you

690
00:34:21,599 --> 00:34:23,920
beat number five Iowa State on the road, but you

691
00:34:24,119 --> 00:34:25,960
didn't want to play against number one ares I just

692
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:28,039
I don't know what it is, but I don't think

693
00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:29,960
so like, Okay, so you play Iowa State, you win that,

694
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,079
you don't play against Oklahoma State on the road, but

695
00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:33,920
then you play since the NATI and what do you

696
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,559
not play the entire next week? But then you play

697
00:34:35,559 --> 00:34:38,760
against number three Houston, Like I just I don't get

698
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,679
what it is. But to me, it's like, regardless of

699
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,119
whether it's a premier matchup or whether it's not a

700
00:34:44,119 --> 00:34:47,239
premier matchup, there's always something and that's concerning, Like there's

701
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,199
no doubt in my mind you should be playing in

702
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,719
the rest of these games the rest of the season

703
00:34:52,119 --> 00:34:53,960
because they all matter and you have to I mean,

704
00:34:54,039 --> 00:34:55,639
and then what are you gonna do with March madis

705
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:57,199
is if we don't know what it is, but is

706
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,639
he not gonna play in the round of thirty four

707
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,440
and thirty two and then play in the six, lead

708
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,599
eight and the final fourth that would be the case. It

709
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,480
just it looks it looks question Marcus, because players, like

710
00:35:05,559 --> 00:35:07,840
Gary Peiris said, we saw aj play through the flu.

711
00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:10,440
We saw players try to stretch, get on the bike

712
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,960
and do stuff. I mean, old Jake Kuttler, who is

713
00:35:13,079 --> 00:35:15,760
terrible for the Chicago Bears, pulled a growing bend is

714
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,679
on the bike and they're having to stop him from

715
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,039
going back in the NFC Championship game. And I bring

716
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:21,760
it up as a Bears fan, you know, and the

717
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,880
Chicagos Anyway, My point is is just weird. I haven't

718
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,679
seen this before from a college player. I've seen it

719
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,199
from the NBA guys, but it's weird, and I think

720
00:35:29,199 --> 00:35:30,960
he sits out more games. Dance to your point, like

721
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,320
I could see him not playing next week against Oklahoma

722
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,760
State and and Cincinnati, but will have to wait until

723
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:36,480
that point.

724
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna sit out at least two more games.

725
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,760
Make great, George, at least two more games?

726
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,079
Speaker 4: Can I be honest, you want to talk about awards

727
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:46,920
Like look, Brett and I talked about this this morning,

728
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,400
and you know we all joke and pull fun of Lebron.

729
00:35:49,559 --> 00:35:52,840
He's not eligible for all NBA awards and MVP because

730
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,119
he sat out too many games. This is gonna be

731
00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:57,039
the problem that that premiere of a talent is going

732
00:35:57,119 --> 00:35:59,840
to miss out on max contracts money if this keeps up.

733
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,320
And I'm grateful for Adam Silver. You're not punishing players,

734
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,280
and it sucks when you're actually, you know, injured. But

735
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,440
if there's some skeptical sism, like if you don't like

736
00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:10,159
have a legit injury, oh I'm hurt. Everybody's hurt. Ben,

737
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,840
So I hate to go on that tangent, but he's

738
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,239
not gonna be eligible for awards like this goes further

739
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,280
like he's not gonna be Big twelve Newcomer of the Year.

740
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,079
He should not be. He should not even be in

741
00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:21,039
the conversation. He does not qualify for it. It should

742
00:36:21,079 --> 00:36:24,280
be aging and others, Kingston Fleming. He should not be

743
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,880
a part of this conversation. And if he wins the award, Ben,

744
00:36:27,159 --> 00:36:29,639
I'm going to be livid, like I mean, and I'm

745
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:32,840
bringing up a valid point. Should he even be eligible

746
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,840
enough to be, you know, an all Big twelve like

747
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:36,800
conference member, not because of his talent.

748
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 3: We're not talking about that.

749
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,159
Speaker 4: We're talking about playing on the court and how many

750
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,519
games that he's played, and like he might not be

751
00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:45,000
eligible for that if he keeps sitting out games. And

752
00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:47,000
I think the Big twelve should do the fans and

753
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,800
do people of service, because that's not fair to Kingston

754
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,360
Fleming who's played. That's not fair to you know, Tam

755
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,679
and Lipsey, Aja de Bonds, is not fair to the

756
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,079
Richie Saunders, the guys that are out there and then

757
00:36:57,119 --> 00:36:59,119
you get put on but you're not there for half

758
00:36:59,159 --> 00:36:59,400
the games.

759
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,159
Speaker 3: I don't agree with that.

760
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: Chancellor Johnson, Big twelve analyst caught up with Aj Debonson. Now,

761
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,760
in my opinion, if you want to win a championship

762
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,400
in the NBA, and I take Aj overall number one.

763
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,199
I've said that consistently. Why Because first one, he's a dog,

764
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,280
he's a competitor. He's going to continue to work, he's

765
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,079
going to put in the lonely hours in the gym

766
00:37:18,159 --> 00:37:20,199
via Jim Ratt, He's gonna get better and then he's

767
00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:24,239
gonna make others better, as we saw seven assists versus Baylor. Okay,

768
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,039
he's not all about just getting shots for himself. He's

769
00:37:28,039 --> 00:37:31,639
always looking to playmake. He wants to make others better,

770
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,960
he said in the post game. What did he say

771
00:37:34,039 --> 00:37:37,440
is like I wanted to get Rob right, the third

772
00:37:37,519 --> 00:37:40,559
involved early. He had his homecoming a little bit, you know,

773
00:37:40,639 --> 00:37:44,800
he had his former school that he had to show

774
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,559
up and show out against and make the doubters into

775
00:37:47,559 --> 00:37:49,559
believers and make the haters a little bit more silent.

776
00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:52,599
I want to get my brother involved. He makes others

777
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:57,280
better around him. He's not about me, me me right.

778
00:37:57,559 --> 00:38:00,280
So Chancellor Johnson caught up with him post game after

779
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,679
a four game slight buy. You needed a win. The

780
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,840
freshman star AJ delivered at a high rate. Let's get

781
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,880
into it. He's an interview with A J. Debonnsa's interview

782
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,039
with Chancell Johnson. Who's gonna be joining guys later on

783
00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:13,760
at the show.

784
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:18,199
Speaker 9: With Aj Demasa After thirty six on the road versus Baylor,

785
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,239
after four straight games in a row that you guys

786
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,400
weren't able to get to win, column said, do it

787
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,159
on the road against it's out team like Baylor.

788
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 10: How bad did you guys need this win?

789
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: We needed it.

790
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 11: We're five hundred. The goal was just to get above

791
00:38:29,519 --> 00:38:30,960
five hundred, and this tough to one on the road,

792
00:38:31,039 --> 00:38:33,119
especially at Baylor when we have Rob coming from Baylor,

793
00:38:33,639 --> 00:38:35,000
so we know there's gonna be some noise, but we

794
00:38:35,039 --> 00:38:35,639
just had to get a win.

795
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 9: Speaking of Rob, a thirty ball from him from the

796
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,400
moment he was introduced to the crowd to the last

797
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,920
free throws for him where they were chouting Trader, where

798
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,440
he scored his twenty nine and thirtieth point.

799
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,039
Speaker 10: What did you like about his response in this game?

800
00:38:48,119 --> 00:38:50,039
Speaker 11: I like that he was just calm. He wasn't trying

801
00:38:50,039 --> 00:38:51,760
fourth Now he's effishing. I think he was over fifty

802
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,280
percent today and this is his response has been made three,

803
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,679
he's signed up the crowd enough. Felt good?

804
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,599
Speaker 10: Yeah, what was like for you watching the Rob right

805
00:38:58,639 --> 00:38:59,280
the third show?

806
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 11: I mean, I got fire real seats. I was just

807
00:39:01,519 --> 00:39:03,159
I was just living just like y'all was. I mean,

808
00:39:03,199 --> 00:39:04,840
I see them ultra aggressive. I mean I see him

809
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,599
practice every day, but y'all don't get to see it

810
00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:06,960
as much.

811
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 3: So I'm felt good.

812
00:39:08,159 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 9: In order to get the win tonight, obviously, the team

813
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,800
was expecting you know a lot out of you, but

814
00:39:13,039 --> 00:39:13,920
this is nothing new to you.

815
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 10: How much do you embrace and enjoy being the go

816
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:17,480
to guy?

817
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 11: I mean it's fun. Obviously it takes you know a

818
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,000
lot of responsibility. I take the hit for all the losses,

819
00:39:23,079 --> 00:39:24,679
but you know I got the the press for all

820
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:25,000
the wins.

821
00:39:25,639 --> 00:39:27,639
Speaker 9: I got a chance to see two nigga have a

822
00:39:27,679 --> 00:39:29,679
moment with your dad. I know you guys have a relationship.

823
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:31,840
He had a big night as well. Watching him tonight

824
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,960
and competing against him. Just want help of talent is

825
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:34,280
too ni?

826
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 11: Yes, a great time. And I mean I played against

827
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,039
I mean I played with him. McDonald's American played against him.

828
00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: Hoop summit.

829
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 11: He's been the same, just super aggressive. He's shooting the

830
00:39:42,039 --> 00:39:44,360
three ball way better now. He got a lot stronger,

831
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,199
super explosive.

832
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 3: Just a great time.

833
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 9: Last one for me. I'm gonna pull up this clip

834
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,400
here right and this was in the second half. I

835
00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:52,840
want you to walk me through this when you get

836
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,599
the switch on the big here.

837
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:55,559
Speaker 10: What were you thinking?

838
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:57,039
Speaker 11: This attacked thorough?

839
00:39:57,079 --> 00:39:58,079
Speaker 1: I think I was settling too much.

840
00:39:58,159 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 11: I think the first time I got to strouted, my

841
00:39:59,519 --> 00:40:01,280
shide of three built him out at them. The second

842
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,320
time I shot, they built him out. So my coach

843
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,960
are trying to tell me, like yo attacking and came

844
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:05,440
over to speak.

845
00:40:05,559 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 10: So when you decide to not settle, you just decide

846
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,280
to tear the rim. Now, Is that how usual works?

847
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: Yes?

848
00:40:10,119 --> 00:40:13,119

Speaker 1: Right.

967
00:45:08,119 --> 00:45:11,039
We're gonna get into some of the sound bites from

968
00:45:12,559 --> 00:45:18,400
the BU Baylor game. Miles Simon discussed his conversation with A. G. DEBONSA.

969
00:45:18,519 --> 00:45:22,639
Now I always say kugarnation. If the only goal for

970
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,239
BYU Athletics is to win, we're doing it the wrong way.

971
00:45:26,679 --> 00:45:29,599
It's not just it's not about winning championships. We want

972
00:45:29,639 --> 00:45:32,199
to win. Of course, if you don't win, you know

973
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,239
you can become irrelevant pretty quickly, but it has to

974
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,000
have a foundational why behind we're playing sports. It's like

975
00:45:40,119 --> 00:45:45,159
the the mantra, the adage of Brigham Young University. Enter

976
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,840
to learn, then go forth to serve. When you're a

977
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:53,079
student athlete of b YUH, it should also be an

978
00:45:53,199 --> 00:45:55,800
enter to learn, go forth to serve with the you know,

979
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,599
surround yourself with greatness, Surround yourself with high level people

980
00:46:00,119 --> 00:46:02,320
and that are doing high level things at all facets

981
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,639
and all elements of their life, and then go out

982
00:46:05,679 --> 00:46:08,519
and make an impact in society, within your community, within

983
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:12,119
your culture, within the world. So anyway, it's about that

984
00:46:12,159 --> 00:46:14,400
foundation a lot. So hearing these things, I think it's

985
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,559
impactful and I want to delve into it. This segment's

00:46:38,679 --> 00:46:41,280
them as well. If you want to meet a loyal,

995
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,760
strong and true mechanic, you got to head on over

996
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,119
to big Otires at American Fork and talk to Ryan Elders.

997
00:46:46,119 --> 00:46:47,519
He's going to take care of you know, if ansor

998
00:46:47,599 --> 00:46:50,280
butts about it. All right, let's discuss this. Miles Simon

999
00:46:50,599 --> 00:46:55,039
discussing his conversation with as to Botson, AJ's favorite class

1000
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,320
and favorite professor at BYU.

1001
00:46:58,639 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 3: We know that you know aj Box is such a

1002
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:01,880
fascinating score.

1003
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,559
Speaker 1: We know we know he's gonna be one and done.

1004
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 3: It's gonna be the first or second pick in the draft.

1005
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 4: But besides, you know the fact that you know the

1006
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,199
Kevin Young, the NBA background.

1007
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: Reasons why he came to BYU. But he's actually I

1008
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,599
talked to him last week at Okoma State and asked

1009
00:47:18,639 --> 00:47:20,719
him what he loved like off the court about his

1010
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,039
college experience, and he said it's actually his favorite.

1011
00:47:23,639 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 10: Thing is a religion class called the Book of Gorman.

1012
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,519
Speaker 3: He said it's for students of diverse face.

1013
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,599
Speaker 1: And professor Tyler Griffin.

1014
00:47:31,679 --> 00:47:34,079
Speaker 10: He said that that has been his favorite class that

1015
00:47:34,159 --> 00:47:34,559
he's taken.

1016
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: He loves it.

1017
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 7: He loves to get it being on campus, getting to

1018
00:47:37,599 --> 00:47:40,079
know all the students from being around the student body

1019
00:47:40,119 --> 00:47:41,039
on a daily basis.

1020
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 2: So I found that really cool and great about about.

1021
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,519
Speaker 3: The BONSA, just like his dedication.

1022
00:47:45,639 --> 00:47:48,599
Speaker 2: Also being in the classroom, I've been found.

1023
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 1: So that's going to surprise a lot of YOUTE fans

1024
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,239
in particular, right, they're gonna AJ doesn't go to class.

1025
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,320
AJ ain't going to class no way. Know how. He's

1026
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,159
just getting paid. He's just getting He's just making dollar

1027
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,679
dollar bills, y'all. He was just brought in for the

1028
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,719
EYU circus. Ronnie. When you hear that, what's your thoughts,

1029
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:09,360
your reaction?

1030
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,519
Speaker 3: It's just people that just want their narrative to be right,

1031
00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:14,679
and that's just how it goes right. We have many

1032
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,400
of those people in society. That's just not true.

1033
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 4: I went back and I visited actually BA you to

1034
00:48:20,519 --> 00:48:21,960
be able to talk back to some of the students

1035
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,800
in the journalism program. And I was told by some people,

1036
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,920
you know, unpromptu not asking you know, that they've seen

1037
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,079
AJ on campus, they've seen them comforta class, they've had

1038
00:48:30,159 --> 00:48:32,320
friends being a class with them. So I mean, I

1039
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,159
don't I feel like that's a stretch for people just

1040
00:48:34,199 --> 00:48:36,519
to make that up. And again I'm gonna paint a

1041
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:38,320
picture wiber The kid does not a member of the

1042
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,679
church who has no reason to want to say that

1043
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,920
for what reason to. That's not who Aj is. He's

1044
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,639
not the type of person. He says what he means,

1045
00:48:46,679 --> 00:48:48,840
he means what he says. He takes accountability, and I

1046
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,440
firmly believe that that's what it is.

1047
00:48:50,519 --> 00:48:51,599
Speaker 3: Because Aj is a good kid.

1048
00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 4: If you get the chance to talk to him, he

1049
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,239
all won't talk to his parents. I mean, that's exactly

1050
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,199
the kid is. He keeps his head down, he works hard.

1051
00:48:58,599 --> 00:49:00,440
So I think this shows a lot of character of

1052
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,320
who Aj really is and how bad any has been.

1053
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 3: I think that's the biggest thing.

1054
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,639
Speaker 4: The buy in is real. It's really difficult been these

1055
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,920
days to get a kid that has no entitlement, that

1056
00:49:10,039 --> 00:49:12,559
wants to listen. Go back to the postgame in non conference.

1057
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,320
AJ's coachable. You know, we only have to tell him

1058
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,519
something this, and he's a smart player. He figured it out.

1059
00:49:17,639 --> 00:49:19,639
I wanted to get Robin early. I understand the moment

1060
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,519
this kid, he knows what it is. I mean, to

1061
00:49:21,599 --> 00:49:23,880
have that pressure been since you were thirteen fourteen, and

1062
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,800
how to be nineteen years old. Look, I mean, I

1063
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,000
think he, along with many others in this class, are

1064
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:29,880
gonna be the face of the league.

1065
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 3: But I'm very impressed with Aj d Bounce every day.

1066
00:49:33,159 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 1: Aj Debotch a hole, a well rounded, holistic human in

1067
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,679
my opinion, and that's why he's gonna be great. That's

1068
00:49:40,679 --> 00:49:42,880
why he should be number one overall in the NBA draft.

1069
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:47,000
Just his upside right, the ceiling is much higher, I think.

1070
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,559
And furthermore, I think he's just a good fit for

1071
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,320
anybody that's looking for a great teammate. That's what it's about.

1072
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:59,719
It's still a team game. In this celebritized, ego driven

1073
00:50:00,199 --> 00:50:03,159
NBA world that it seems that we're we're all trying

1074
00:50:03,199 --> 00:50:04,760
to live in and that. But that's the guy that

1075
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,400
can win a championship. So if you're if you're about entertainment,

1076
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,239
I guess you can go somebody else. If you're about championships,

1077
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,079
you're gonna pick Aja number one overall. Let's take a
