Speaker 1: College basketball will crown it's national champ tonight on the
Speaker 1: men's side, after the Yukon women got it done over
Speaker 1: the weekends. Gino rim at twelve and one in national
Speaker 1: championship games. That is a mind blowing stat. Houston, Florida
Speaker 1: tonight six fifty Mountain time on CBS. Florida as of
Speaker 1: now is a one point five point favorite represented the SEC.
Speaker 1: Of course, Houston out of the Big twelve and Josh
Speaker 1: Furlong will join us right out of the gates. And Josh,
Speaker 1: if you've been watching Big twelve basketball all year long,
Speaker 1: you're probably not too surprised to see the Houston Cougar's
Speaker 1: playing for the national championship.
Speaker 2: Is that fair?
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I think this is a team that they
Speaker 3: play together, They've been consistent, they've been together for a
Speaker 3: long time, and so you know, they're a tough team
Speaker 3: to beat. I mean, when I put in my bracket,
Speaker 3: they're the team that I actually put to win it all.
Speaker 3: So it wasn't a surprise to me by any means.
Speaker 3: You know, Florida's obviously a good team. They've got some length,
Speaker 3: So I'm really fascinated to kind of see how this works,
Speaker 3: especially with offense and kind of the defensive prowess that
Speaker 3: Houston brings, so it should be a really fun Matt.
Speaker 3: I mean, the fact that they could even beat Duke
Speaker 3: was was pretty remarkable. But love it. So you can't
Speaker 3: ask for anything more in a in a championship game.
Speaker 1: Since you brought it up, one more thing here, then
Speaker 1: we'll get onto the Utah content portion of the interview. Look, man,
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't care what level you ever played, uh,
Speaker 1: if you ever played you know, competitive sports, uh of
Speaker 1: any kind on any level. Their chances are there's a
Speaker 1: missed shot that you think about while you're trying to
Speaker 1: go to bed. There's a game that your team lost
Speaker 1: that you think about that you that you wonder, uh
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: I should have, would have, could have? What have you.
Speaker 1: I don't care what Cooper Flag goes on to do
Speaker 1: the rest of the way.
Speaker 2: And I think he's got I'm all in on him.
Speaker 2: I think he's awesome.
Speaker 1: Conka Nipple, the Malawatch kid, Like that's a team full
Speaker 1: of stars. I don't know, Josh, that you ever quite
Speaker 1: forget a loss that Duke, A loss the likes of
Speaker 1: which Duke suffered to the hands of Houston. That was
Speaker 1: one of the most epic collapses I think I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely. I mean I remember looking at the clock
Speaker 3: thinking like, there's no way Houston really getting into this,
Speaker 3: and just little by little it just felt like Duke
Speaker 3: was kind of you know, the whole definition of that
Speaker 3: around and find out the situation right, Like, I don't
Speaker 3: know if you could put that on the radio, but
Speaker 3: I think this was just, you know, a situation where
Speaker 3: Duke just kind of felt comfortable and obviously they relied
Speaker 3: a ton on Cooper flag, but he was the only
Speaker 3: one that was able to generate anything, and so when
Speaker 3: he didn't, you know, they really had nowhere to turn
Speaker 3: and suddenly you've got a Houston team that got momentum
Speaker 3: and it all changed. But like I think if you
Speaker 3: were to tell me that that was going to happen,
Speaker 3: especially with like a minute left of the game, I
Speaker 3: still don't know that I believe you, especially the way
Speaker 3: that it did. So definitely one for the ages. But yeah,
Speaker 3: you have to feel for Duke. I mean, that's going
Speaker 3: to be one that sticks with you for a very
Speaker 3: long time, and I don't know that you can shake it,
Speaker 3: especially with how that went down.
Speaker 1: And I don't know what this means for where Cooper
Speaker 1: Flags had a that. Of course, the conversation over the
Speaker 1: past forty eight hours or so have been like, does
Speaker 1: this motivate him to come back to school? And you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of roll my eyes at that. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, he turned eighteen, like three and a
Speaker 1: half months ago or so. He is a young eighteen
Speaker 1: year old, and Josh, I cannot imagine what the reaction
Speaker 1: would be if we're sitting here watching the draft lottery.
Speaker 1: I think it's May twelfth, if I remember correctly, and
Speaker 1: Lady Luck shines on the Jazz they grabbed number one overall,
Speaker 1: and then Cooper Flag announces he's going back to Duke.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine the reaction in this city.
Speaker 3: It would be the most like perfect thing that would
Speaker 3: happen to Utah the one time they finally get the
Speaker 3: number one seed and Cooper Flag, the guy that they've
Speaker 3: been taking for decides to stay in college. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I don't even want to know what
Speaker 3: that would do to people. I mean, I think people
Speaker 3: were okay with the Jazz tanking and you know, within reason,
Speaker 3: but then to not get somebody like Cooper Flag would
Speaker 3: just be devastating, you know, a generational talent. But that's
Speaker 3: the age of nil now, man. I mean, I think
Speaker 3: you know, he can obviously go get paid a fairly
Speaker 3: great wage at Duke and if he really wants to
Speaker 3: get that national championship, you know, good for him. But
Speaker 3: you know he'd be crazy not to in my opinion.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you know, all it takes is
Speaker 3: an injury to derail things. At least if you're in
Speaker 3: the NBA, you've derailed it and you're in the NBA,
Speaker 3: so you know, it would be crazier things would happen,
Speaker 3: But it would be the Jazz luck to have that
Speaker 3: happen where they get the number one pick and then
Speaker 3: everything goes to crap.
Speaker 1: Well, let's hope that does not go down, but only
Speaker 1: time will tell. Josh, let's move over to some Utah stuff,
Speaker 1: and let's start with a piece of news.
Speaker 2: It appears to be very positive.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be the radio host that claims
Speaker 1: that I was grinding on Fairley Dickinson tape last year.
Speaker 2: But Terrence Brown was their leading scorer.
Speaker 1: He's one of the top scorers in the country, and
Speaker 1: he is a rising junior, which means technically he has
Speaker 1: three years to play with the grad transfer stuff, and
Speaker 1: apparently the background is he knows Raphael Chilias, but Utah Lanz, who,
Speaker 1: according to No. Three is a four star transfer with
Speaker 1: a composite ranking of nearly ninety two out of one hundred.
Speaker 1: So again, I'm not overly familiar. I've just been reading
Speaker 1: about him and watching some highlights. He's a pretty impressive
Speaker 1: young six to three sophomore. What do you make of
Speaker 1: this piece of the puzzle that Alex Jensen and his
Speaker 1: staff were able to dial in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not going to pretend to know a ton
Speaker 3: about you know, Fairleig Dickinson or anything other than their
Speaker 3: tournament ron a few years back, But I mean, this
Speaker 3: is a guy that, you know, when you look at
Speaker 3: what Utah needs to be able to compete, or at
Speaker 3: least what they haven't had for the last few years,
Speaker 3: it's been guard play, and it's been outside shooters or
Speaker 3: guys that can be able to create their own shot,
Speaker 3: and Utah seemingly found that with Terrence Brown. You know,
Speaker 3: he's a guy that you know, averages about twenty point
Speaker 3: six points per game, five point six rebounds, three point
Speaker 3: two assist. So he seems like he can do it
Speaker 3: all and is kind of a contributor of the offense
Speaker 3: more than what Utah's had now. Obviously, you know, how
Speaker 3: he's able to translate to the Big twelve game will
Speaker 3: be the biggest thing. But I mean, when when you're
Speaker 3: going in there in the first guy that you pull
Speaker 3: out of the portal, outside of getting Keanuds to withdraw
Speaker 3: from the portal, this becomes a huge get for Utah
Speaker 3: just you know, being able to get a guy that
Speaker 3: they feel confident in, that can score, that can do
Speaker 3: a lot of things at guard play. You know, he's
Speaker 3: a combo guard, so you know, I'm curious to see
Speaker 3: how much he'll have the ball in his hands or
Speaker 3: if he'll be the guy that they set up. But
Speaker 3: I mean, you still need great guard play, and especially
Speaker 3: in the Big twelve, you need that. So I think
Speaker 3: this is Alex Jensen working early to be able to
Speaker 3: work on those connections with with Chilias, but also it's
Speaker 3: being able to address the needs that they've seen in
Speaker 3: the past and kind of his mindset of he wants
Speaker 3: this team to be able to run fast, we have
Speaker 3: some tempo and be able to do that and the
Speaker 3: best way to do that is with guard played.
Speaker 1: All right, So that's piece number two of the puzzle.
Speaker 1: And we're still learning about some of these other players
Speaker 1: and whether or not, you know, Alex and his staff
Speaker 1: are trying to get any of them back. So let's
Speaker 1: move over to some of those pieces of news.
Speaker 2: And I've got your Twitter feed pulled up.
Speaker 1: So wording to an account you retweeted a Running Hoops,
Speaker 1: Running Hoops podcast, they're reporting the Josh Eilert will not
Speaker 1: be returning next season. I don't know that this is surprising,
Speaker 1: although you did join us pretty quickly after the news
Speaker 1: came down that Craig was out and the rumors were
Speaker 1: swirling that Alex was going to be in. And you
Speaker 1: made a really interesting case that essentially, Josh, with two
Speaker 1: decades a Big twelve experience, might be a guy that
Speaker 1: Alex looks at. Josh rolled in a studio a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we spent some time together.
Speaker 2: Seems like a great guy. Moved his family out here.
Speaker 1: I believe three children, and this business oftentimes is unkind
Speaker 1: of family dynamics. So what are your thoughts on the
Speaker 1: news that you know? And I have no idea if
Speaker 1: aj even talked to him, but Josh Eilert will not
Speaker 1: be returning in any role next year for Utah basketball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I know Alex Jensen was. He was
Speaker 3: in town last week meeting with the players, meeting with
Speaker 3: the staff and trying to get his lay of the
Speaker 3: land on kind of what he could do for the
Speaker 3: for the you know, Ever since Chileus is the first
Speaker 3: one that he hired, there's been a lot more emphasis
Speaker 3: being place. I'm wanting to get his NBA guys, Guys
Speaker 3: that he feels like he has a great connection with,
Speaker 3: guys that have kind of that NBA pedigree, and for
Speaker 3: whatever reason, Josh Eilert didn't kind of pand them out there.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think when you know, I made the
Speaker 3: case that if you're going to bring Josh Eilert on,
Speaker 3: it's mostly because of your ability to be able to
Speaker 3: scout the big twelves and being able to understand what
Speaker 3: goes on there. But since those conversations that we had,
Speaker 3: you know, I've kind of heard that there was a
Speaker 3: little bit more waffling there, especially with the entire staff.
Speaker 3: There's still questions on guys like at David Evans or
Speaker 3: a low Lease obviously they provide connections to whether it
Speaker 3: be the AAU circuit or in David Evans's case, where
Speaker 3: you know, obviously he's coached in the state of Utah,
Speaker 3: He's got a lot of connections there. He also has
Speaker 3: a great international recruiting base that he can pull from,
Speaker 3: and so there's there's still questions remaining about them. I
Speaker 3: think the longer this goes on, the less likely becomes.
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if David Evans
Speaker 3: is the guy that they hold on to, if they
Speaker 3: hold on to somebody, I think just from the Utah
Speaker 3: standpoint alone, that gives you, you know, the connections inside
Speaker 3: the state, which look, you know, Utah have some good recruiting,
Speaker 3: but like you also need some guys that can go
Speaker 3: out there and recruit from other areas, right, and I
Speaker 3: think with his ability to recruit outside of the country, yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, the international circuits, I think that gives you
Speaker 3: a leg up. But look, I mean, I think there's
Speaker 3: so many different guys that you can go to. I
Speaker 3: don't know that it's a huge miss if you don't
Speaker 3: take any of these guys. But I think you know,
Speaker 3: these are guys are going to have to fall in
Speaker 3: line with what the way Alec Jensen wants to do it.
Speaker 3: And you know, for whatever reason, it seems like Josh
Speaker 3: Eiler just wasn't the fit there, whether it was his
Speaker 3: own choice or whether it was Alex's. You know, I
Speaker 3: haven't heard anything but that direction, but you know, you
Speaker 3: wish him best. He's a good guy. He's he's kind
Speaker 3: of a no nonsense guy, but also kind of stays
Speaker 3: out of the limelight, just happy to kind of work
Speaker 3: hard and get a team going forward. So the toughest,
Speaker 3: but I think Utah or Alex Jensen specifically has an
Speaker 3: idea of where he wants to go.
Speaker 1: While we're in the space of talking about Alex's staff,
Speaker 1: you know, right out of the gates coach Chillius and
Speaker 1: then about a week later, Wes hired as the GM
Speaker 1: and it's been quiet since then. Any insight and Alex
Speaker 1: hopped on Sean Show earlier today and talked about his
Speaker 1: desire to have a staff that's maybe a little bit
Speaker 1: smaller than what we've seen in college basketball as of late,
Speaker 1: which to me is great. I mean, there's like ten
Speaker 1: coaches on all these teams now, and so we'll see
Speaker 1: how this thing kind of takes shape. But do you
Speaker 1: have any information on the progress or maybe lack thereof
Speaker 1: and filling out the staff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know he's definitely been working hard to be
Speaker 3: able to kind of get his guys. I know that
Speaker 3: there's an NBA guy that he's still trying to work on,
Speaker 3: and whether that comes down to the NBA season or
Speaker 3: some other factors, I'm not entirely sure, but I know
Speaker 3: he wants, you know, at least one more NBA guy,
Speaker 3: and then outside of that, he's you know, trying to
Speaker 3: find some connections to the state of Utah, trying to
Speaker 3: find a good connection that will allow you to be
Speaker 3: able to whether that be recruiting or just being able
Speaker 3: to kind of have that guy that's been in the
Speaker 3: state in people's homes or whatever that may be, that
Speaker 3: that is kind of recognizable that way. So, you know,
Speaker 3: he's definitely being intentional with this. This isn't something where
Speaker 3: he's trying to hire a staff immediately so that they
Speaker 3: can get going for this next year. He's definitely looking
Speaker 3: long term, right. I think he's not trying to just
Speaker 3: kind of put a band aid over something real quick.
Speaker 3: As he's dealing with you know, what he's had in Dallas.
Speaker 3: He's definitely trying to be intentional. I mean, he said
Speaker 3: as much in his inturgal press conference, right like, he
Speaker 3: said that he was going to take his time, he
Speaker 3: was going to do it, and you're definitely seeing that.
Speaker 3: I think, you know, he wants people to buy into
Speaker 3: his process. He wants people that are going to to
Speaker 3: maximize kind of his potential, especially if he is going
Speaker 3: to take that small staff, and I've heard the same thing.
Speaker 3: I don't think he's going to blow up this staff
Speaker 3: and make it some massive thing. You still need your
Speaker 3: directors of operation, you still need, you know, more assistant coaches,
Speaker 3: you need some other things that way. But I think
Speaker 3: he really attacked it hard and showed kind of his
Speaker 3: hand by getting Raphael Chilius as an assistant coach and
Speaker 3: then getting Wes Wilcox as a general manager. He showed
Speaker 3: kind of the direction he was going where this is
Speaker 3: going to be my focus. I'm going to focus on
Speaker 3: the recruits. I'm going to go from the NBA style
Speaker 3: and go from there. So I don't I don't know
Speaker 3: that he feels the need to necessarily get something immediately,
Speaker 3: especially because he's got those proven guys that are able
Speaker 3: to kind of be in the system already.
Speaker 1: We did get some news over the weekend Ezrasar has
Speaker 1: entered the transfer portal. Of course, Ezra had a lot
Speaker 1: of bright moments playing for Craig this year, including the
Speaker 1: BYU game here in Salt Lake. And you know, I
Speaker 1: know he has children elsewhere in the country, I think
Speaker 1: in the Midwest, so maybe he's looking to get closer
Speaker 1: to home. He did feel like one of the candidates,
Speaker 1: along with Keanu Dawes, who will be back playing for
Speaker 1: the youth, so that maybe Alex would take a long
Speaker 1: hard look at Maybe they still are. But can you
Speaker 1: shed some light on this information and whether or not
Speaker 1: Ezra is still considering maybe staying here in Salt Lake.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Utah's definitely still in conversations with Ezra. You know,
Speaker 3: I think they want him, but I think they're gonna
Speaker 3: want him at the right price. I know, only have
Speaker 3: to say that now in college basketball in college football,
Speaker 3: which is crazy, but I think, you know, based on
Speaker 3: his skill set, obviously he had tremendous abilities and tremendous upside,
Speaker 3: but there's still limiting aspects of his game where he
Speaker 3: kind of loses the ball on the post. He's not
Speaker 3: able to, you know, really shoot outside of maybe ten
Speaker 3: fifteen feet. Great guy around the rim, but outside of that,
Speaker 3: his game is pretty limited. So I think, you know,
Speaker 3: they want him. They want him to be able to
Speaker 3: be a complimentary player to probably Keanu Das, especially since
Speaker 3: Keanu has shown that he can be a bit more
Speaker 3: of a well rounded player, maybe his upside is a
Speaker 3: little bit better. And so if they can get him
Speaker 3: for the right price, one hundred percent, they're going to
Speaker 3: take him. But I think at this point, you know
Speaker 3: that if the market's not there, Keana is the guy
Speaker 3: that they're going to build around. They've clearly made an
Speaker 3: emphasis that, you know, they wanted to be able to
Speaker 3: have him as kind of their their focal point of
Speaker 3: this team. And so if you can build around Keanu
Speaker 3: and you can have other players that can kind of
Speaker 3: work in that system, that helps. And whether Ezra fits
Speaker 3: in that or not, I you know, I would be
Speaker 3: surprised if he comes back, just based on everything and
Speaker 3: kind of how this roster, you know, even though it's
Speaker 3: not a large roster, but how this roster is taking shape,
Speaker 3: I would be surprised if those are two players that
Speaker 3: really kind of complement each other in the game. They
Speaker 3: have kind of a similar skill set outside of Keanu
Speaker 3: having a better shooting outside of the post. So, I
Speaker 3: you know, I know fans really got to love Ezra.
Speaker 3: You know, I think he was a great guy that
Speaker 3: spoke well, he was a great guy that fought for
Speaker 3: the team. But I think at this point, unless the
Speaker 3: price isn't right, you know, I think it's time to
Speaker 3: move on from.
Speaker 1: Israel instead of going down the list. One more basketball
Speaker 1: question then we'll move on. Do you think there are
Speaker 1: any other play year is currently quote on the roster
Speaker 1: in the transfer portal that Alex is talking to trying
Speaker 1: to get back, whether it's Jake Wahaleen or any of
Speaker 1: the other players, Yeah.
Speaker 3: You mentioned it. I mean it's Jake Walleen. He's the
Speaker 3: guy that I think they really want to see come back.
Speaker 3: The strikes that he made year over year from you know,
Speaker 3: his first year to last year kind of shows where
Speaker 3: he can go, right. They're excited about that. I know
Speaker 3: other in state schools are really pushing hard for him,
Speaker 3: and so, I you know, this isn't going to be
Speaker 3: an easy thing. At the end of the day Jake's
Speaker 3: you know, a's all these players do. He has to
Speaker 3: do it's best for him. But I know that they're
Speaker 3: really interested in him and want to see him develop.
Speaker 3: But I know a school up north that is is
Speaker 3: absolutely pushing hard for him. So whether that comes down
Speaker 3: to money or kind of a better fit, whatever that
Speaker 3: may be, you know, he's going to be a hot
Speaker 3: commodity at least in this state alone. And you know,
Speaker 3: whether Utah gets him or not, you know, it can
Speaker 3: be a loss, but I don't think it has to be.
Speaker 3: They needed more out of him from from an outside
Speaker 3: a shooting perspective, and so if he does come back,
Speaker 3: I think that's where you'd see them definitely grow and
Speaker 3: try to push his game because he's got He's got
Speaker 3: a tremendous subset as well. I mean, he gets into
Speaker 3: that post, he's able to rebound at the high rate.
Speaker 3: But they do need more shooting from the outside to
Speaker 3: make his game translates a little bit better with what
Speaker 3: Alex wants to do.
Speaker 1: All right over to the football side of things is
Speaker 1: there was a scrimmage on Saturday where media was allowed
Speaker 1: to watch, which doesn't happen often. There was once upon
Speaker 1: a time where it happened all the time, but of
Speaker 1: course things change and people get weird about access, as
Speaker 1: we've talked about. So any main takeaways from that scrimmage,
Speaker 1: anything you've fan should know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think the big takeaway from from
Speaker 3: this scrimmage alone is that Devin Dampier's the guy, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not there was any questions, but I
Speaker 3: think there's a noticeable enough difference between Devin Dampier and
Speaker 3: the rest of the quarterbacks, and right now that's Isaac
Speaker 3: Wilson and Bird Fickland. Those two have been the guys
Speaker 3: that have been, you know, backing him up. But I
Speaker 3: really think a guy like Bird Fickland, who who he
Speaker 3: needs to put on a ton of weight, you know,
Speaker 3: just size. He's a smaller bodied guy right now, but
Speaker 3: he's got one of the best balls that that any
Speaker 3: of the quarterbacks have. You know, he's starting to make
Speaker 3: tremendous strides and so you're starting to see Bird kind
Speaker 3: of pushing Isaac a little bit. Isaac obviously needs to
Speaker 3: rebuild that confidence that he had after kind of just
Speaker 3: taking out last year based on having the whole offense
Speaker 3: on his shoulders and and it just not going well.
Speaker 3: But by and large, I mean I think this this team,
Speaker 3: it's it's making the right progressions that it needs to
Speaker 3: make right. I think one of the questions about this
Speaker 3: this offense specifically, is that there wasn't really going to
Speaker 3: be a huge passing game, and you know, there's there
Speaker 3: is an emphasis more in the run game, as you know,
Speaker 3: over the last few years they've wanted to push more
Speaker 3: of the passing. But I think Utah's utilizing this in
Speaker 3: a very effective way where they're being diverse and how
Speaker 3: they run the ball and as such, they're being able
Speaker 3: to use that to be able to open up a
Speaker 3: lot of these receivers. And you know, right now, there's
Speaker 3: not like a standout guy in that wide receiver room
Speaker 3: that says, Okay, it has to be that guy, you
Speaker 3: have to throw it to him. It has to be
Speaker 3: you know, whoever it is, whether it's Door and Singer
Speaker 3: or whomever it was. You know, now it's much more
Speaker 3: of a spread it out distribution, and there's a lot
Speaker 3: of guys factoring into that and included in that as
Speaker 3: the tight ends. You know, Lannon King and Dallan Bentley,
Speaker 3: who had a great scrimmage they're factored in there, but
Speaker 3: I think the way that Utah is setting this up
Speaker 3: where they're going to put the run emphasis there, well,
Speaker 3: they're still kind of making it a multi dimensional situation,
Speaker 3: whether that be with Devin Dampierre who can pass and run,
Speaker 3: whether that's with Nate Johnson, or even Hunter Andrews. Hunter
Speaker 3: Andrews has got some tremendous speed and we're starting to
Speaker 3: see kind of his potential. This offense can be really fascinating,
Speaker 3: and I'm really curious to see how this continues to
Speaker 3: develop over the offseason because I think they could be
Speaker 3: a very potent offense that these things continue.
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about the wide receivers,
Speaker 1: but he kind of broke it down there pretty well.
Speaker 1: So before I say you lose, there will be another
Speaker 1: transfer window opening for Kyle and his staff with the
Speaker 1: ability to add to the group. Any thoughts, maybe it
Speaker 1: is wide receiver, but any other holes on either side
Speaker 1: of the ball that you think they're going to look
Speaker 1: down to before we actually play football come fall, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Wide receiver. They're going to try to find a guy
Speaker 3: that can be kind of that wide receiver one right,
Speaker 3: whether that's there or whether they can get it is.
Speaker 3: It remains to be seen, but that's going to be
Speaker 3: a big focus. And then defensive line, you're going to
Speaker 3: get those defensive tackles where you need some more depths there.
Speaker 3: They've got some good frontline talent, but the guys behind
Speaker 3: them are either young or they've been in the system
Speaker 3: a long time and have been injury prone, and so
Speaker 3: you just need more guys, more bodies there. Defensive ends,
Speaker 3: you're going to be okay, but defensive tackles you're going
Speaker 3: to need a little bit more. And then outside of that,
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just kind of best player available. I mean,
Speaker 3: corner would be nice to be able to add another
Speaker 3: guy in that to be able to have more depths.
Speaker 3: But I think your big focus going into the transfer
Speaker 3: portal is going to be at wide receiver in defensive tackle.
Speaker 1: All right, Josh, By the way, you were on television
Speaker 1: during one of the pressers, how long has it been
Speaker 1: since you shaved that beard?
Speaker 2: Is getting weird?
Speaker 3: Man, It's been twenty twenty is when I started growing it.
Speaker 3: So I'll turn it up from time to time, but
Speaker 3: I'm keeping the beard as long as I can. Maybe
Speaker 3: it's motivation to get me to get skinny, then I
Speaker 3: can maybe skip shave again.
Speaker 2: All right, man, well do your thing. It looks good.
Speaker 2: As long as the wife likes it, you're good to go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, right, she actually didn't like it before, and
