Speaker 3: that pitch up man with him at I that was
Speaker 3: that was okay.
Speaker 1: Then, oh man. They came in together.
Speaker 2: They did everything together, roommates to the end, Reggie. And
Speaker 2: one of the reasons I when I remember looking at

Speaker 2: year playing loudly, Hey Reggie, old dog man. He was
Speaker 2: the best man, the great great guy all the way around,

Speaker 2: close to everybody. Jim Harball, the school down the road,
Speaker 2: he got hit with a four year show cars. Look
Speaker 2: at the tears on that boy, including a one year suspension.
Speaker 1: If he decides to come back to coach college football.

Speaker 3: Come on, man, you gonna hit the guy with with
Speaker 3: with this suspension. You know he not coming back. He
Speaker 3: don't have to come back. You know, he had to
Speaker 3: know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody.
Speaker 1: They gave him the word.
Speaker 2: You know, you take a little suspension here in there,
Speaker 2: you coach from the fall, you.
Speaker 3: Do all these type of things. You missed one game,
Speaker 3: you miss a game. Here, miss a game. Come on,
Speaker 3: everybody knew he was wrong, you know. I guess it's
Speaker 3: just part of the good old boys.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: They take care of each other. Because that's that's that's
Speaker 3: that's bullshit man. But you want to suspend it. If
Speaker 3: he come back, we wait, where are you going? That's like,
Speaker 3: how how are they gonna do that?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: We talked about this all day long last year as
Speaker 2: it was happening. The news was breaking about the whole
Speaker 2: kind of stallion singing, and this is something before that.
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with the kind of staalus.
Speaker 1: This is all about.
Speaker 2: Inducing recruits come on campus during COVID and buying a cheeseburg.
Speaker 1: As far as he's concerned.
Speaker 2: Said, this is equivalent to you know, you know when
Speaker 2: the bootleg creatures still in Church's money and run off
Speaker 2: to a country with non extradition rights. I mean, so
Speaker 2: he's gone. Now, Like what they putting these rules in place?
Speaker 2: Are these show causes that have no teeth? They got
Speaker 2: they got no, there's nothing in there with the nca Right.
Speaker 3: Now, I'm gonna take that back to when Alabama was
Speaker 3: waiting to see if they was gonna get into the playoffs, right,
Speaker 3: and and this conversation had to go like this, Nick, heyzeus,
Speaker 3: if you win, you in right, Because once he won.
Speaker 1: His interview, he said, we.
Speaker 3: Did what we did, what we were supposed to do, what
Speaker 3: we had to do, and show enough they was in right.
Speaker 2: Somebody had to tell that, hey, you wining, you in now?
Speaker 2: You lose nothing we could do. You know, we don't care.
Speaker 2: You know how many you won in the past.
Speaker 3: But if you win, Demmi ui and Jesus, somebody told
Speaker 3: howbar listen, this is it.
Speaker 1: This is what's gonna happen. It's gonna come down, all right.
Speaker 1: So you get another job, go ahead and take it.
Speaker 3: The NFL go knock, and you better ask because the
Speaker 3: NFL was knocking before.
Speaker 1: Why would you want to go out now?
Speaker 3: I know you win, you won a national championship, but
Speaker 3: you had to miss three or four games or whatever
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 1: You know, NFL knock. I answer, he gone.
Speaker 3: Now you hit him on the wrist with if you
Speaker 3: come back, we're gonna suspend you. That's just like if
Speaker 3: I'm in school and they say, if you come back
Speaker 3: to the school, we're gonna suspend.
Speaker 1: I'm not coming back. I'm gonna go to the other school.
Speaker 2: Due if you if you come back, we're gonna suspend.
Speaker 1: After you graduated, you're gone.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's utterly ridiculous what nca has been able
Speaker 2: to doing lately. They just don't have the same power
Speaker 2: that they used to have back in our day when
Speaker 2: we played. They used to just, i mean, rule over everyone.
Speaker 2: And right now it seems that every time somebody takes them,
Speaker 2: the court, the justice, the federal judges side with the plane.
Speaker 2: You know, the people who are against the NCAAA, they
Speaker 2: do not sign with the NCAA for a month to
Speaker 2: the reasons. It's crazy right here. To me, this is
Speaker 2: the integrity of the game. Jim Harbaugh lead or this
Speaker 2: and looks were what we're gonna do about it at
Speaker 2: this point, it's crazy speaking of go ahead.
Speaker 1: It's typical down the street. You know, we don't care
Speaker 1: about nothing about them, you know, as matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I hope it.
Speaker 3: I hope it rained and thunderstorm, just reading and Arbor
Speaker 3: just the whole time while they're pregnant, even in the
Speaker 3: inside the bubble, get a hole in it and.
Speaker 1: They can't practice that walk through. Damn them down the street.
Speaker 2: Inside the bubble of the end of the Facilica stormplot.
Speaker 2: Hold over, you can get a whole flood over there.
Speaker 2: Aunt hey, that's nothing that I don't care. I don't
Speaker 2: like them, and they never have, like thom But talking
Speaker 2: about where things are with the Big Tens, where we
Speaker 2: got to get into this. There was a Big Ten
Speaker 2: pre season poll that came out that ranked everybody in
Speaker 2: the Big Ten. We want to talk about that. We
Speaker 2: haven't had a chance to. We have the rankings that
Speaker 2: pup we can see all right, So here we are
Speaker 2: right now, they're showing the top five. It looks like
Speaker 2: in the Big ten you have Oregon. This is this
Speaker 2: is just rankings, you know, Oregon. Oh man, we missed
Speaker 2: the first five.
Speaker 1: You got.
Speaker 2: You got Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan for USC
Speaker 2: at five, Wisconsin asking Iowa produecewear, Minnesota at ten, and
Speaker 2: then Rutgers mister ste coming in at twelve. Looks like
Speaker 2: twelve right here Maryland, Illinois, Washington, Indiana, u c l A. Northwestern.
Speaker 2: Now is this is this the preseason ranking or is
Speaker 2: that the recruiting ranking.
Speaker 3: I would say preseason ranking, because you know you have
Speaker 3: you have to put Oregon.
Speaker 1: It can't be recruited because Ohio State is higher than Oregon.
Speaker 1: I want to assume I wouldn't.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but it looked right to me.
Speaker 2: This is this is the recruiting ranking. This is not
Speaker 2: the Big ten preseason ranking. Okay, okay, that's mist o'hass's
Speaker 2: kind of refers based on the you know, the rundown here.
Speaker 2: This is recruiting. So let's pull that up one more
Speaker 2: time to recruiting ranking. That's what this is, all right.
Speaker 3: So you got two newcomers coming in the Big ten
Speaker 3: and in the top five in recruit right, and we
Speaker 3: got Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan in.
Speaker 1: The middle of the of the other five.
Speaker 3: All right, So and and and being around these kids
Speaker 3: in seven on seven.
Speaker 1: I had a few kids.
Speaker 3: I think I had one receiver committed to Oregon and
Speaker 3: two guys committed to the USC and dn D commit.
Speaker 1: But the numbers I heard that it was on the table.
Speaker 2: I was I was at all because I'm like, damn,
Speaker 2: they're offering that much money in Oregon with the Phield
Speaker 2: Knight like Phil Knight got his own money straight.
Speaker 3: So it's one of It's one of those deals. Man,
Speaker 3: you got two guys coming in being bullies.
Speaker 1: They already got that damn uh duck in the pond
Speaker 1: over there in the in the river in Indiana.
Speaker 3: Which is it better not be that next year because
Speaker 3: I promise y'all got to be be gune and it's
Speaker 3: not gonna last. But those guys coming in man making
Speaker 3: noise already.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on when you talk about the
Speaker 2: nil world that we live in right now. The ranking
Speaker 2: there seemed to be off because I know that Ohio State.
Speaker 2: I think they're number one in the whole country right now,
Speaker 2: so I don't know how Oregon was above them. I
Speaker 2: don't know where that That ranking does seem to be
Speaker 2: a little off, so I'm not sold on that. It
Speaker 2: looks like they have mischigs sin though at twelve out
Speaker 2: of a ten. Some of the more recent ones have
Speaker 2: heard it's been crazy. So Trevor Thompson, here we go.
Speaker 1: Trevor. You know, Trevor is our crack stat guy.
Speaker 2: We need to hire Trevor as a STATN inpo guy
Speaker 2: because he's always on right preseason as MSU seventeenth or eighteen.
Speaker 1: Oh I don't, I don't. I don't know about that one.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But that's good.
Speaker 3: That's good because hey, start at the bottom. No only
Speaker 3: thing you can do is go up, put us, put
Speaker 3: us down. We'll be the underdog, but we'll show you
Speaker 3: a d N. But we're not going in seventeen eighteen.
Speaker 3: You kiss my ass on that one. If we do,
Speaker 3: I gotta have a meeting with with the A D
Speaker 3: and every the pretty new.
Speaker 1: President and everything, because we're not doing that. No, no, no.
Speaker 3: No nothing, No seven million, we're not.
Speaker 1: No, no, we're not.
Speaker 2: I think preseason ranking has as close to the bottom.
Speaker 2: That's for Maureen. No, we can't, we can't. We can't
Speaker 2: have that kind of that's stuff's word. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: Oregon State, Oregon. I'm talking about Ohio State, Oregon, At
Speaker 2: University of Michigan, Penn State USC. Those are all the
Speaker 2: teams that are at the top right now.
Speaker 1: This is.
Speaker 2: Seems like Stanconnfo was talking about the twenty twenty four class.
Speaker 2: We're on the twenty twenty five because the season that
Speaker 2: we're in now. Twenty twenty four is already actually on
Speaker 2: campus right now, so we're looking at what's going on
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. So we can get those numbers corrected,
Speaker 2: we'd be a lot happier. So we know where we
Speaker 2: are right now looking at the future, because that's that's
Speaker 2: what it's all about. We can't like, look, the twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four class is really difficult for times of Smith
Speaker 2: and everybody coming in, but not a lot but not
Speaker 2: a lot of time to get the class together, and
Speaker 2: they did everything they could possibly do. So what we're
Speaker 2: doing now if the five class we're looking at where
Speaker 2: we are having a football to be able to I
Speaker 2: guess put out get the kind of talent that we
Speaker 2: need and need to win and compete. So what are
Speaker 2: your thoughts on what it's going to take you, because
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of work getting done. You
Speaker 2: know you've been seeing things with your spy cam and
Speaker 2: we're gonna get to the spy cam in a minute.
Speaker 2: But what things can the every day spartan do to
Speaker 2: help get missis State back on track?
Speaker 3: Before I answer that straight, I want I was gonna
Speaker 3: ask you because you had a chance to go on visits, right,
Speaker 3: and you know I went on visit two years ago
Speaker 3: and things like that, but I never had a chance
Speaker 3: and the opportunity to go to a three day visit
Speaker 3: at at Michigan State Park. As a parent, what do
Speaker 3: you think the things that you've seen at the big
Speaker 3: time school that you was able to to to visit.
Speaker 3: What did you see that you think that was? It
Speaker 3: was exciting, it was it was something that you want your.
Speaker 1: Son to be a part of.
Speaker 3: Uh, And you feel like, what do we Uh if
Speaker 3: you had to talk with with coaches say hey, this
Speaker 3: is what such and such as doing. This is what
Speaker 3: they're doing, Boom boom, you know, we can add this
Speaker 3: to make the school this much sexier for the for
Speaker 3: the guys. What do you what did you see?
Speaker 1: How do you feel what would what need to be done?
Speaker 2: I mean it's just really at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: comes down to relationships and aggressive you know, reaching out
Speaker 2: to players and getting to know them.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I talked to a.
Speaker 2: Lot of parents obviously like yourself, but have blue ship
Speaker 2: recruits and the ones that seem to win out. I
Speaker 2: mean you're talking your friend, is that Cancord, right? Now,
Speaker 2: I don't think Stanford he went because they had the
Speaker 2: biggest bag. People always like to talk about it's all
Speaker 2: about bags. It's not about that Bletchkille's son went to
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. It's definitely not a bag school. Notre Dame's
Speaker 2: losing kids all the time right now because coaching there,
Speaker 2: because they have more money than Notre Dame on the
Speaker 2: front end. So it's it's the holistic queue that a
Speaker 2: lot of parents are getting to right now. They want
Speaker 2: somebody who actually wants them. They want to Education checks
Speaker 2: all the boxes when it comes the type of uh
Speaker 2: eelament that you want from your job to be able
Speaker 2: to potentially excel to the next level.
Speaker 1: So it's not it's not difficult.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's all about money from Michigan sail
Speaker 2: or any It's about relationships, just like anywhere else.
Speaker 1: So that's what looks longer than me.
Speaker 2: You know, You've got another one that I am again
Speaker 2: answer what do you think MISSI into the top realm
Speaker 2: of in your opinion?
Speaker 3: We see the thing about you, You're so well educating,
Speaker 3: you so polite and you you know, and I've been
Speaker 3: learning it from you, you know.
Speaker 1: But I'm not there yet.
Speaker 3: Straight, we got to get together with the beigionars and
Speaker 3: the millionaires and put put something together because NIL is
Speaker 3: taking over. And I say that because I had a
Speaker 3: chance to be the head coach of a seven on
Speaker 3: seventeen that was ranked one and two in the country
Speaker 3: and I had nothing before and five stars on my
Speaker 3: team from all over and every time I see these
Speaker 3: kids on Friday, they tell me, yh, coach, your coach
Speaker 3: such and such, offer me this, such and such, offer
Speaker 3: me this, or you know what, this school offered me
Speaker 3: fifty thousand. My daddy says, hell, no, we're not going
Speaker 3: for fifty nine when it's somebody else saying they gonna
Speaker 3: give us three hundred thousand. So the numbers that that
Speaker 3: if you want to get into.
Speaker 2: What organ and all these guys doing, we gotta we
Speaker 2: got to put a nil together and find a way.
Speaker 1: To to to to compete with the big dogs. Because
Speaker 1: now that's that's that's that's what it is to get
Speaker 1: the big time names.
Speaker 3: Now, unless you want to get kids that that that's
Speaker 3: not worrying about dad, and you want to be mediocre.
Speaker 3: You want to get the guys that down here and
Speaker 3: you want to say Okay, we're gonna develop them and
Speaker 3: motivate them, and you know we'll be okay, longs we
Speaker 3: over five hundred, we're trying to win six games.
Speaker 1: Who're gonna be satisfied with that? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And then you know, it's just I just think that's
Speaker 1: the big thing right now.
Speaker 3: You know, that's that dealing with those kids that's supposed
Speaker 3: to be the poor and five stars that they look
Speaker 3: at the n I L for a perfect example, you
Speaker 3: look at the Miami University of Miami.
Speaker 1: University of Miami won five.
Speaker 3: Or six games last year, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: barely went to a Bowl game, I think. And then
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, they in the top
Speaker 3: seven of the tops recruiting. Why shit, because they giving
Speaker 3: out the money.
Speaker 1: We lost a kid to Miami. We lost a kid
Speaker 1: to Argon.
Speaker 2: They didn't go because Oregon got a great education or
Speaker 2: they just practical were just going to National Chimp Joe.
Speaker 2: They was in the playoffs, either neither them or Miami
Speaker 2: war So how wow, why did you go there?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 3: Because guess what, when you come here, you can buy
Speaker 3: your mama house. You see what I'm saying, And that
Speaker 3: and that's that's that's like they said, that's the that's
Speaker 3: the time now that we can we can talk about
Speaker 3: all this relationship. If we don't put it in a
Speaker 3: deal together, we're not gonna get the big names. And
Speaker 3: then we got great kids. You know, we got great kids.
Speaker 3: Like I told you my drone. I flew my drone
Speaker 3: up there again, and I'm gonna tell you about it.
Speaker 3: But in the future is becoming about in our all.
Speaker 3: That's that's what I think.
Speaker 2: So so, so you flee your drone up there, yeah
Speaker 2: again once again. So let's let's see what happened before
Speaker 2: we get I think we have like throne the flight
Speaker 2: of the drama.
Speaker 3: So so I get excited about this because I'm not
Speaker 3: I'm not really good with gadget and I got these
Speaker 3: bat hands, I got these, you know, I don't know
Speaker 3: how to you know. So but with this new drone,
Speaker 3: I got straight. I love it because it's it's so
Speaker 3: fast as like to fly from Mobile to Detroit, I
Speaker 3: mean east Landson, my drone can beat the regular claim there. Right,
Speaker 3: So the guys that was in the army, and I
Speaker 3: salute the guys.
Speaker 1: In the army.
Speaker 3: I mean they're some smart guy and they're great with
Speaker 3: their hands. So I tried it again right just to
Speaker 3: the yesterday where I flew my droone. I got a
Speaker 3: monitor right and I can see it from the monitor,
Speaker 3: and I'm good far as my direction.
Speaker 1: You know, east and west, northeast. Never eat salty wheat.
Speaker 1: That's how I learned the conference, you know.
Speaker 3: But anyway, they was inside, and so one of the
Speaker 3: guys that made the drone for me is like, how
Speaker 3: we gonna do?
Speaker 1: I said, I got this, you know, I got a
Speaker 1: map to a degree. Let me let me put it together.
Speaker 3: I snuck my drone in and up top and it
Speaker 3: was just sitting there, just chilling, and it got the
Speaker 3: whole practice. But this time I just wanted to focus
Speaker 3: on the quarterback because I love what he said just
Speaker 3: last week about he's the best quarterback in the big deed.
Speaker 3: And watch it from my drunk on the monitor. Oh
Speaker 3: he got good feet straight, he got good feet, he
Speaker 3: warming up, I mean he was like ballet. And then
Speaker 3: his zip on the ball looked so damn good.
Speaker 1: Really, oh man.
Speaker 3: And the key for is me being the offensive coordinator
Speaker 3: in high school and the head coach. I saw, you know,
Speaker 3: the zone read I saw taking the zone read rolling
Speaker 3: out and he got the he the first read which
Speaker 3: you can run and then we high lowering everybody. And
Speaker 3: then when I was watching him, oh, I saw Number
Speaker 3: three running some routes coming out the breaks with the
Speaker 3: receivers with the hen and the tight end looked so pretty.
Speaker 1: Oh, he looked so pretty.
Speaker 3: So even though I was focused on the quarterback, I
Speaker 3: got a chance to see some other.
Speaker 1: Guys, and man, I like what I see and I
Speaker 1: can't wait.
Speaker 3: For this guy form mak the hell out those deepest
Speaker 3: coordinators and we're gonna make plays all day. But I
Speaker 3: see why Number two said what he said, cause damn it,
Speaker 3: I'm with him. He the best quarterback in the big team. Wow,
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it.

Speaker 3: See the thing about me with that, I didn't pay
Speaker 3: attention to none of that. I didn't know it was
Speaker 3: a parade. I didn't know nothing about homecoming. I was
Speaker 3: just so focused on just playing football.
Speaker 1: Man. But now I get the experience all this.
Speaker 3: So but I mean, you got to think about it
Speaker 3: when you're playing and game over. Once you walk out
Speaker 3: of the stadium, shit, everything's over. So it's like I
Speaker 3: never got a chance to partake in it.
Speaker 1: But now I love going back on Homecoming.

Speaker 2: like you is in the gym, Like what kind of
Speaker 2: workouts are you doing in the summer?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 6: Usually wake up at like seven six thirty. I'll get
Speaker 6: shots up probably about seven thirty seven forty five. Then
Speaker 6: we had lyft as a team at a thirty. Then
Speaker 6: after that we go into practice if we if it's
Speaker 6: a practice day, practice usually twelve thirty or eleven thirty.
Speaker 6: Then after practice we have our meals and stuff, breakfast,
Speaker 6: eat that, then work on some school works see my
Speaker 6: academic advisor, and then try to get some extra shots
Speaker 6: up like around this time. Get in like seven thirty,
Speaker 6: get out by like a thirty. Then I'm done for today.
Speaker 3: Hey jaa, can you can you do one of those
Speaker 3: tik toks with somebody following.
Speaker 1: You around and then so you wake up in the morning,
Speaker 1: you do there.
Speaker 2: Want I want to I want to see your whole
Speaker 2: day and make sure you tag tag me in it,
Speaker 2: so I can you know what.
Speaker 3: I'm saying, I want to see your whole day, man,
Speaker 3: because I really believe it's gonna be a special year
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 1: Man. You've been there, You've been through the ups and down.
Speaker 3: What what what's what's your mindset going into this year?
Speaker 1: Because I think you guys got a game or something
Speaker 1: next week, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we were playing over in Spain, like on this
Speaker 6: little foreign tour, So we're gonna play some teams over there.
Speaker 6: But my mindset, my mindset really just just leave everything
Speaker 6: out there on the court this year. I really got
Speaker 6: I got things I need to prove this year. But
Speaker 6: I'm kind of like in a free state of mind
Speaker 6: right now, and I'm really about to just go out
Speaker 6: there and and let the rest take care of itself.
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, you know you guys are going on
Speaker 2: that tour, you said, do you happen to know? I mean,
Speaker 2: I know you're you're a player. Usually players in the
Speaker 2: last know about this. But how can fans watch you
Speaker 2: when you guys take off from go over to Spain.
Speaker 6: I actually don't know exactly how they can watch us yet,
Speaker 6: but I know it's got to be some type of
Speaker 6: live stream or link. I don't think it's gonna be
Speaker 6: on TV, but it's got to be some type of thing.
Speaker 6: But they haven't told us yet exactly how people can
Speaker 6: watch us, but I know it's gonna be available.
Speaker 2: So you know, looking at what the US team did today,
Speaker 2: you know they had to play against Serbia and now
Speaker 2: they're going to be playing against France.
Speaker 1: Like what have you heard from guys.
Speaker 2: In the industry, players in America right now about the
Speaker 2: quality of playover in Europe and and you know obviously
Speaker 2: South America.
Speaker 6: I mean, the game is growing like every day really.
Speaker 6: Obviously this past draft that we had, it was a
Speaker 6: lot of European players or non American players that were
Speaker 6: drafted in the first round and just in the draft
Speaker 6: in general. So the rest of the world's been catching
Speaker 6: up over the past couple of years and you know, decades,
Speaker 6: but the United States has got to, you know, keep
Speaker 6: going strong.
Speaker 1: Why is that? What do you think? What are they
Speaker 1: doing to cat? What are you in your opinion?
Speaker 6: I mean, first of all, like it's a lot of
Speaker 6: like taller like seven foot is coming over here at sixteen,
Speaker 6: but they all trained as a guard though, like you know,
Speaker 6: how tall they're gonna train you as a center or
Speaker 6: put you in a post and stuff like that. But
Speaker 6: they over there, they got basketball academies and they training
Speaker 6: you as a guard or as just the all around player.
Speaker 6: You're working on every part of your game, not just
Speaker 6: back to the basket.
Speaker 2: If you're a tall guy, oh that's a big that's
Speaker 2: a difference making right there.
Speaker 1: I swear what you think. I think you hit it
Speaker 1: right on the head man.
Speaker 3: But hey, what what what's one of your I know
Speaker 3: we got another season coming up. But in your time
Speaker 3: in Michigan State, what's been one of the greatest moments?
Speaker 1: You had to name your top three moments so far? Uh.
Speaker 6: I would say an individual moment was a dunk I
Speaker 6: have versus Villanova my sophomore year. I feel like it
Speaker 6: was probably the best dunk I had in my college career.
Speaker 6: I say, beating Marquette to go to the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 6: That was a really cool moment that we had as
Speaker 6: a team. And I'll probably say being Illinois at home
Speaker 6: this year, it was just a crazy atmosphere, like one
Speaker 6: of the loudest games I've been in. So that too,
Speaker 6: mm hmm.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know when you talked about that dunk
Speaker 2: against Hillinova, I remember that one. You know, when you
Speaker 2: look at like your athleticism, that's one thing that just
Speaker 2: jumps off the television screen when you're at a game
Speaker 2: watching you play. That's something that you just I mean
Speaker 2: it's it's a beautiful thing. Poetry, emotion. Where did you
Speaker 2: get that from? Like when did you know? Like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: I got I got this ability.
Speaker 1: I'm a guard. I'm six what are you? Six three?
Speaker 1: Six four? Yeah? Like six three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can just bang like that? Like where'd
Speaker 2: you where'd you learn that? And who do you model
Speaker 2: your game after?
Speaker 6: I think I got a little bit at lesson from
Speaker 6: my dad, Like he used to play back in the
Speaker 6: day and people tell me, like he used to be
Speaker 6: fast and stuff. So I don't think he could jump
Speaker 6: like that, but I know he was like quick and fast,
Speaker 6: So I think I got that from him. And then jumping.
Speaker 6: I mean I started dunking like eighth grade. So once
Speaker 6: I started dunking eighth grade, I knew that I had
Speaker 6: a little bit of athleticism.
Speaker 1: So yeah, eighth grade. Brown is somebody you remember Shannon
Speaker 1: Brown when you were growing up.
Speaker 6: I mean he played here when I was like super young.
Speaker 6: I remember him like from the NBA, and I've seen
Speaker 6: film with him being here, Like I watched some games
Speaker 6: that he's been in. I mean I think he might
Speaker 6: got me beat like a little bit of athleticism wise
Speaker 6: as far as like one foot because it was crazy,
Speaker 6: but I could definitely see uh similarity. I mean, he
Speaker 6: wore three too, and he was a good shooter as well,
Speaker 6: So I mean it would be a blessing to get
Speaker 6: to where he got to in his career.
Speaker 3: Hey ja, if you had a chance to play your
Speaker 3: dad right now one on one. And I say that
Speaker 3: because I got two kids, man that played for the
Speaker 3: ball and when we go work out, they talk trash
Speaker 3: to me. You know, they don't want to look at
Speaker 3: my film. I send them clips and stuff.
Speaker 1: They don't.
Speaker 3: You know, It's like you'll never think they dad made
Speaker 3: it to the NFF. It's crazy. I don't know where
Speaker 3: they get that. I don't know where they get that
Speaker 3: ship from, but it drives me crazy. But if you
Speaker 3: played your dad one on one right now, do you
Speaker 3: take it easy on him or you think he beat.
Speaker 1: You out of that game?
Speaker 2: Go?
Speaker 6: I mean, he definitely not beating me, and I'm not
Speaker 6: taking it easy on him just all the time when
Speaker 6: I was a kid. When I was a kid, he
Speaker 6: ain't taken easy on me so and he too old
Speaker 6: now to keep up. So I'm not taking.
Speaker 1: Oh man too old.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he more on the mentor side of things right now.
Speaker 6: He a mentor now, so you don't need to listen up.
Speaker 3: It's funny you say that because when I played my kids,
Speaker 3: I'm a little stronger than him.
Speaker 1: They strong, but they're not a stronger than me. And
Speaker 1: I back the adds down every time.
Speaker 3: So once you miss it over because I'm throwing o's
Speaker 3: and everything, I don't care nothing about you. I don't
Speaker 3: cat up at what your mama gonna say.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to weave.
Speaker 6: I feel that I'm gonna be the same way when
Speaker 6: I got kids too, I'm gonna be the same way.
Speaker 1: But your time is passed where that's what he trying
Speaker 1: to say.
Speaker 2: You're a nice way, especially young man. You know, going
Speaker 2: back to your days before you got to Michigan State.
Speaker 2: Who got you playing basketball?
Speaker 6: Oh? That just go back to my dad, Like he
Speaker 6: put the ball in my hand when I was about three,
Speaker 6: and then I got a cook in that I used
Speaker 6: to play at Jordia Tech back in the day. So
Speaker 6: I used to just be watching him like his older highlights,
Speaker 6: and then my Dad really just put the ball in
Speaker 6: my hand and just allowed me to choose, and I
Speaker 6: just fell in love with the game for real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like nowadays, kids, I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: Cedric is always talking about the music is all terrible
Speaker 2: now compared to what.
Speaker 1: They used to be.
Speaker 2: What is in your playlist when you get when you'
Speaker 2: putting shots up, you gotta have something year what you're
Speaker 2: listening to.
Speaker 6: Funny you say that, because like I'm kind of old school,
Speaker 6: like I'm a mix, I'm a hybrid. But like I
Speaker 6: got older parents, so I grew up around a lot
Speaker 6: of older stuff. So it just depends on how I'm
