Yeah, it's been about ten years already 44 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,200 since I've been in this current role, and yeah, excited 45 00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:06,439 to continue to bring all the fans across the West coast. 46 00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:11,120 You know all the latest recruiting news which includes BYU. Right, 47 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,039 they've been recruiting the West Coast harder than any Big 48 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,560 twelve program in recent years. And you know, I'm excited 49 00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:20,120 to continue following along. 50 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: No doubt about it. 51 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 4: Can't wait to see what coverage you provide for all 52 00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:27,080 of those that subscribe, and we INVI had everyone to 53 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,680 subscribe to two four to seven sports. Blair the most 54 00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:33,360 recent guy. Let's start off with tightened young. We got 55 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,000 to know him a little bit better yesterday. But nice 56 00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:39,360 recruit for BYU to start off the twenty twenty seven clash. 57 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,280 Is it odd to get a recruitment, a commitment from 58 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,199 a recruit this early on in the process. 59 00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:48,479 Speaker 5: No, they're actually a little bit late. 60 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 6: Ben. 61 00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:51,719 Speaker 5: You know, this was the first commitment for twenty seven 62 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,120 and when you kind of look up and down the board, 63 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,879 there's a lot of programs that already have fifteen twelve. 64 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,960 You know, double digit commitments. So BYU has kind of 65 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,759 played things a little bit slow here in this twenty 66 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,960 seventh cycle. And I know they're setting up for a 67 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,240 big official visit weekend during the month of June, and 68 00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:13,400 you know, for the most part, I think BYU is 69 00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:15,919 always going to be a little bit more methodical, and 70 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,280 they're going to be a little bit more careful with 71 00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:21,479 the types of offers that they send out and the types 72 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,840 of commitments that they try to push for. You know, 73 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,719 I think they've reversed their strategy. I think a few 74 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,240 years ago I was on this very show talking about 75 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,960 how tough it was going to be for them to 76 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000 hang on to so many early commitments, right, and they 77 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,840 were expending a lot of energy and a lot of 78 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,520 resources early on in the recruitment, only to see you know, 79 00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:45,759 the SEC schools, big ten schools, a bunch of programs 80 00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:49,080 from across the country jump in with late offers and 81 00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:53,120 flipping players that they thought they had locked up. So 82 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,199 I think BYU has been a little bit different now, 83 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,599 a little bit more strategic. I love the addition of 84 00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:01,840 Titan because he's so versatile, he can do a lot 85 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,879 of different things. It's kind of odd to think of 86 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,840 him as a linebacker because he had over one thousand 87 00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:12,400 receiving yards last year. You know, like that's a marquee number. 88 00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:14,960 That's a number that you look at. It's kind of 89 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,279 a barometer. It's a gauge, right, whether or not a 90 00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:20,720 player in his twelve to fourteen games during a high 91 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:23,519 school season can reach the one thousand yard mark. And 92 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,120 Titan did that. But that two wave production obviously speaks volumes. 93 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,959 And you know, his savvy, his feel for the game, 94 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,240 his physicality, He plays at a different tempo and I 95 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,079 think he's going to be a terrific, terrific off ball 96 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,079 linebacker when he does arrive on campus. 97 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, you break down his skill set and you see 98 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,120 a lot. There's a lot to get excited about. And 99 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,839 I was very impressed with him as a in the interview. 100 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,959 Speaker 2: He's a high football IQ kid. 101 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what position, which linebacker position 102 00:04:56,959 --> 00:04:59,000 he's going to play, but man, he sounds like a 103 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,199 Mike linebacker, sounds like a leader of a defense. 104 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 5: Ben. I just saw him a couple of weeks ago 105 00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:08,160 at the at the Powerhouse five on five tournament, Right, 106 00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:10,839 and you're thinking about a receiver tight end who plays 107 00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:14,000 linebacker and he's out here getting one on one reps 108 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,199 in a pass rush tournament, and we all kind of 109 00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:18,879 looked at each other. We're like, dude, like what are 110 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,000 you doing here? Right? 111 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 6: And you know, he just. 112 00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:24,639 Speaker 5: Wanted to match up and he wanted to compete. And 113 00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:27,759 that's I think that's the type of player that they're getting. 114 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,279 You know, he he's he's a terrific athlete. I think 115 00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:36,759 that's that's first and foremost. You know, his versatility, he's 116 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,680 he's kind of a Swiss army knife with with what 117 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,639 he's gonna be able to do. He can play a 118 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:42,639 little h back if you need him to, can line 119 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,680 him up inside and the why, can go out wide 120 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,000 and match up against corners and in kind of those 121 00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:51,680 red zone situations on offense and then on defense. You know, 122 00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:54,680 really physical, has a nose for the football, loves to 123 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,560 get after it, you know. And I think when you 124 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,560 when you project and when you look at the long 125 00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,920 term upside, there is a lot to dream on there. 126 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,319 And I wouldn't be surprised if we see a C 127 00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:08,959 stitch on his jersey at some point, because he does 128 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,839 have that personality, has the leadership skills and it seems 129 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,959 like he's a big hit with a lot of different players. 130 00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 4: We got Blair and Gulo twenty four to seven Sports 131 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:21,959 talking some cruiting the Cougars here on your Utah ESPN 132 00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:26,240 Radio network, and this is Cougar Sports. Let's talk a 133 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,199 little bit on some of these other offers that boil 134 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,240 us to hold out. I think for two four seven 135 00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:32,920 confirmed offers, I think there's around like eighty four offers 136 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,959 around that time. Like, how does that compare to like 137 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,839 other universities used to be BOI used to be used 138 00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:42,680 to be like very strategic, like they didn't go volume 139 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,519 with their their offers. They'd be a little bit more 140 00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:48,759 judicious and not dolling them out. But what does that 141 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,600 compare to other P four institutions right now? The offersheet 142 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,319 of eighty four across all position groups. 143 00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 5: I would think that just based on the quantity, I 144 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,279 would think that BYU is kind of on the lower 145 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,519 end of what some of these power for teams are 146 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,560 are shelling out. You know, there's some schools that have 147 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,480 over two hundred offers out there right They'll offer everyone 148 00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:14,560 in the top twenty four to seven. They'll offer every 149 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,839 four star that's on the list they'll offer, you know, 150 00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:19,279 all the three stars in their own state, and you know, 151 00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:21,759 when you you know, before you kind of think about it, 152 00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:25,279 they're already up to two hundred, three hundred offers. So, yeah, 153 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,079 BUYU plays it a little bit differently. They played a 154 00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:31,319 little bit slower. I don't think they really send out 155 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,920 more offers until they know they have an answer on 156 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,480 a certain prospect, right, Like they're not going to offer 157 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,000 more than they can want, or that they can take, 158 00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:40,560 or players that they would want. 159 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 6: And so I think. 160 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 5: They're a little bit slower. They're a little bit more methodical. 161 00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:48,399 You know, even some of the players that they landed 162 00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:53,000 in this twenty six class, you know, like Glasger, you know, 163 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,120 the legend Glaska from Lehigh I think he had to 164 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,560 wait for his offer, you know, a little bit, even 165 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,160 though he had other Power four and they were just 166 00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:05,680 in you know, he was just in their backyard as well. So, yeah, 167 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:08,160 the eighty four numbers a little low, But I think 168 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,399 that's how they want it. I think that's by design. 169 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,639 I think that when they do that, it creates a 170 00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:16,079 little bit more value for the offer. It makes it 171 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,720 mean more, right, it has a little bit more significance. 172 00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:22,319 When BYU doesn't send out a lot of offers, but 173 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:24,360 they are targeting you as a recruit, I think it 174 00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:26,160 sends a clear message that you're going to be a 175 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,160 priority for them. 176 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, when you look at the offer sheet for that 177 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,399 they've doled out eighty four of these. I know you've 178 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,200 done some nice features on some of these prospects that 179 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:42,559 have have maybe you know, scheduled out official visits, et cetera. 180 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,919 But who stands out to you on this list of 181 00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:46,879 offerrees for Buyu. 182 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 5: I mean it has to start with Body Sparrow. Right, 183 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,840 he is the number one player in the state of Utah, 184 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,039 another two way talent, can play safety, can play receiver. 185 00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:00,000 I think could play at the powerfoard level at any spot. Also, 186 00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:02,120 so an elite basketball player. I mean he's on the 187 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,200 Nike youth circuit in the summer, you know, and he's 188 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,120 won a state championship over at Davis in hoops. I 189 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,200 think a terrific all around prospect, a top one hundred 190 00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:18,000 national guy too, So you know, he he kind of 191 00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:20,120 has to start and he has to be the headliner. 192 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,279 I know they're kind of in a heavyweight fight right 193 00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:26,919 now for him. Oklahoma has a lot of smoke. Michigan 194 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,200 and Utah are involved. He likes Oregon, he likes Tennessee. 195 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,759 You know, there's a number of other programs still trying 196 00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:35,279 to stay in the picture. You know, from the sound 197 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,679 of it, sounds like Buyu will be getting an official 198 00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:42,000 visit this summer, right before he makes the decision. Now, 199 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,559 you know, it kind of remains to be seen whether 200 00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:46,600 or not he'll even make it to that official visit, 201 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,080 because it does sound like he's open to making a commitment, 202 00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:52,679 you know, whenever he feels like that that might be. 203 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,399 So you kind of wonder, right like June nineteenth, if 204 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,320 that's the weekend that he makes it down to Provo, 205 00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:01,320 you know, will he all re be committed or will 206 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,720 he even take that official visit? You know, So that's 207 00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:06,639 something I think the coaching staff has to figure out, 208 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,120 you know, whether or not they're going to be able 209 00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:13,120 to in a way accelerate that process. You know, he's 210 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,679 he's he's unquestionably the number one guy in the state 211 00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:17,360 for this twenty seven class. 212 00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 6: Another one that. 213 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,039 Speaker 5: We really like is edge rusher Uhila Wolfbrahm. We just 214 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,360 saw him at the Adidas Polynesian Bull National combine in showcase, 215 00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:29,440 and he just picked up offers from Oklahoma and Michigan 216 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,879 this week. Also Colorado offered him today. He's a national 217 00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:37,559 recruit with dozens of offers, and I think that's one 218 00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,159 player that BYU fans should get plenty of familiar with 219 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,440 because it does sound like the Cougars are doing a 220 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,840 really good job there. They were on him first. He's 221 00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:49,320 kind of in their backyard there in Spanish Fork. And 222 00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:53,480 so another player that I think they're doing really really 223 00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:56,159 well with that I wouldn't be surprised if you know, 224 00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:58,080 when it's all said and done, he ends up being 225 00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:01,440 one of the marquee signature for BYU. And then the 226 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,399 other one that I that I really like that I 227 00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:07,080 think b YU is doing well with is Jeremiah Williams. 228 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,559 He's a defensive lineman from Tustin out in southern California. 229 00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:14,840 He was just on campus this week and really really 230 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,759 hit it off with the coaching staff, coach coach Popinga, 231 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,919 coach Sataki. They all got rave reviews from Jeremiah Williams, 232 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,120 who I think right now is trying to decide whether 233 00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:28,360 he's going to play at b YU. He's gonna play 234 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,039 at ASU, or he's going to stay close to home 235 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,240 and play at UCLA. I think those are the three 236 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,120 schools out in front for him and his recruitment. 237 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,279 Speaker 6: But I mean, from. 238 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 5: Everything that we've heard and all the indications that we've gotten, 239 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,879 b YU is firmly in that race and could even 240 00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:48,159 be potentially considered the front runner. 241 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 2: Wow, that's awesome. Yeah, he's got an official visit setup, 242 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,919 doesn't he. Yeah. 243 00:11:54,039 --> 00:11:58,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's supposed to a head out there for the 244 00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:02,840 June nineteenth weeekend, right, So, I think when you look 245 00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:04,840 when you look at those weekends and when you look 246 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,480 at the official visits, it becomes kind of clear what 247 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,320 a program feels is going to be the right call, right, Like, 248 00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:16,080 there are some programs that schedule an official visit early 249 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,759 and those kick off this weekend. By the way, Ben, 250 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:22,120 So I know BYU doesn't have any schedule for this weekend, 251 00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:24,720 but there's gonna be some programs like bringing in official 252 00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:27,679 visitors this weekend and then it goes on until the 253 00:12:27,799 --> 00:12:31,519 end of June, right before commitment season. But you know, 254 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,399 there's some programs that are either chasing or they're fighting enough, 255 00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:39,879 facing enough fill battle to get to get a player 256 00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:42,279 to commit, and you know, they have to schedule an 257 00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:44,679 early official visit just so that they have a eight 258 00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:48,519 puncher's chance, you know. And then there's other situations like 259 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,960 BYU does a really good job of making sure that 260 00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:54,960 they lock in all their top targets for the same weekend. 261 00:12:55,159 --> 00:12:57,159 It looks like June nineteenth it's going to be the 262 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,679 one where they'll bring in a lot of players that 263 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,679 they feel really good about, not only with you know, 264 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720 where they are as prospects, but also how they maybe 265 00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,879 sit in the in the prospects list. And so he'll 266 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:12,879 be among those visitors that makes it down to campus 267 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,320 on June nineteenth. 268 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, but body scoone over, I want to go back. Sorry, 269 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,279 Body Sparrow, I want to go back to him. What 270 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,679 position do you think he projects at? What position do 271 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:22,919 you think he'll play at the next level. 272 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 5: I think he's going to be an incredible safety. Like, 273 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,919 like it's tough, right because we're talking about another one 274 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,120 thousand yard receiver who can go up and high point 275 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,639 the football and he can play above the rim, and 276 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,759 he's so dynamic as an offensive prospect and kind of 277 00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:42,000 reminds you a little bit of you know, Chase Roberts 278 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,039 and Puka Nakua and you know some of these other 279 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,120 big time pass catchers. So Lesie moa right that we've 280 00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:51,200 seen in the state of Utah in recent years. But 281 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,480 then you look at his awareness and just the way 282 00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:58,279 he tracks the football and his closing speed, and you know, 283 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,480 I saw him at the season opener Life last year 284 00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:06,200 and he returned an interception seventy five yards and it 285 00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:09,320 was it was just instinctive. He broke on the football, 286 00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:12,639 caught it in stride and then he was gone and 287 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,240 no one was going to stop him, you know. And 288 00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:17,279 that's the type of impact that I think he can 289 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,600 make at the college level, you know. And that's right now, 290 00:14:21,639 --> 00:14:25,240 one of those positions that is super sexy in terms 291 00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:27,919 of like being able to match up against tight ends, 292 00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:30,080 being able to match up against slot receivers. If you 293 00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:32,960 need to cover as a nickel, you can drop down, 294 00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,120 if you go into the box, you can track and 295 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,559 tackle and chase the ball in the flats. And then 296 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,799 he's got, like I said, the awareness to play kind 297 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,720 of a center fielder Rover roll as well. So he's very, 298 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,519 very versatile and instinctual as a safety, and I think 299 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,759 from an upside standpoint. That's that's probably where he's going 300 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:53,679 to make a lot of money. 301 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,879 Speaker 4: Blair Angulo two four to seven Sports Dock and recruiting 302 00:14:59,039 --> 00:15:01,080 here on your Youth Die ESPN Radio Network. 303 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:01,639 Speaker 2: A couple of other guys. 304 00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 4: I'm intrigued by Peyton Higginson, Manase Brown and Jaglone. Peyton's 305 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,799 right down the street from by. You think he plays 306 00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:13,480 at Salem Hills And uh, you know, Jag and Manasi 307 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:14,679 are both really good prospects. 308 00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:15,679 Speaker 2: Break down those guys. 309 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, Peyton is another player, another kind of in that 310 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,919 Titan Deyong mold where he can play a little bit 311 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,200 of everything. Just had three interceptions in a in a 312 00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:30,799 single seven on seven on seven game down in Dallas 313 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,320 this past weekend, So you know, it's kind of showing 314 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,159 his ball skills as a defender. Could also play some 315 00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:39,720 some receiver and and and uh, you know, I think 316 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,039 the multifacetedness of his game really makes them attractive as 317 00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:46,799 a as a next next level prospect. He's supposed to 318 00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:50,360 be at UCLA later this week for a visit as 319 00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:52,440 they kind of try to figure out where he might 320 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,279 fit in their recruiting class. I know he's really high 321 00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:59,360 on Michigan and Utah obviously, with the long standing connections 322 00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:03,639 to coaches on both staffs and just the familiarity and 323 00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:05,840 and you know how how long some of those coaches 324 00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:07,960 have been recruiting him, you know when you think about 325 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,559 Jay Hill and Morgan Scallee and you know, Kyle Whittingham 326 00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:13,720 and all the guys that have those ties to the 327 00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:16,679 beehiveh State. So you know, by is kind of a 328 00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:19,120 in a in a battle there. But but I think 329 00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:21,639 they're in a really good spot with him, and they 330 00:16:21,679 --> 00:16:24,639 will continue to be in a really good spot with him. 331 00:16:24,759 --> 00:16:24,919 Speaker 2: You know. 332 00:16:25,039 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 5: Jag yawn A is another one that that I think 333 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,360 has all the tools to be a really really good 334 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,120 edge rusher and and kind of a pass rush specialist 335 00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:38,639 at the next level. He's supposed to visit on the 336 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,159 June twelfth weekend, so they would be the weekend right 337 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,600 before that big one on June nineteenth. Washington's also involved. 338 00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:48,399 Utah is going to get kind of that final official visit. 339 00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:50,360 It does sound like this is going to be a 340 00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:55,080 b y U versus versus Utah battle for one of 341 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,200 the best players and one of the best defensive prospects 342 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,240 out west. You know and and so I think for 343 00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:05,519 for those two, you know, it's it's kind of looking good. 344 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,640 You have to feel good about their chances to land him. 345 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,119 And then Manase Brown, a big, raw offensive lineman who 346 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,440 can kind of play some tight end, has also you know, 347 00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:22,039 dabbled on a defensive line at at Corner Canyon down 348 00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:25,000 in Provo. You know, a player that that really didn't 349 00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:26,880 get a lot of run. You know when you think 350 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,240 about how deep Corner Canyon has been at the high 351 00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:33,279 school level the last couple of years. But I think 352 00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:36,640 has really started to entrench himself as one of those 353 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,119 big intriguing prospects. He's about six six sixty seven two 354 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,480 thirty and kind of a ball of clay that you're 355 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,440 going to be able to mold. I don't think he 356 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,759 truly has gotten a grasp of like how good he 357 00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:52,240 might be able to be or how good he's going 358 00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:55,599 to turn into. But that's another player that right now 359 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,359 has has scheduled an official visit with Bhyu. I think 360 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,839 it's the only trip he has scheduled, and that would 361 00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:03,400 be for that June nineteenth weekend. So you know, when 362 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,359 you when you follow the visits, then you kind of 363 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,240 think okay like Uyu either likes him, he likes them 364 00:18:09,279 --> 00:18:11,519 a lot, and it's very mutual. And you know that's 365 00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:13,160 that's a prospect to watch for sure. 366 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,319 Speaker 4: Everyone follow Blair and Gulo on Twitter.

How would 476 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,160 you describe the season for Lee Kamard his rookie year 477 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,359 and this squad that has found a way to win 478 00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:23,920 in the back end of this schedule. 479 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's pretty remarkable. And when you consider that they 480 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,480 were without Delaney Gibb for eight games this year and 481 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,519 had different injury I mean towards the towards the end 482 00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:39,720 of the season. Mariah Hudgens has not played since the 483 00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:43,720 Cincinnati game, so they've they've dealt with injuries. Cambry Barber 484 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,039 had missed the entire start of the season, ended up 485 00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:51,359 playing her first game was a non conference game at Portland. 486 00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:54,359 And so, I mean, they've not only had to deal 487 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,519 with the rigors of just a normal season, but they've 488 00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:00,240 had to deal with injuries to a couple of different players. 489 00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:04,480 Wanted their best player who missed eight straight games, and 490 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,079 and BYU during that stretch only lost one game, and 491 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,480 that was to a ranked team. And look, you mentioned 492 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,319 what Lee Kamart has done, it's been it's been unbelievable. 493 00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:19,039 And anytime you talk about BYU women's basketball, you know 494 00:24:20,079 --> 00:24:22,200 one of the best and the best to do it 495 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,440 has been Jeff Judkins. And for Lee Kamart in his 496 00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:28,559 first season to have the most wins by a first 497 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:33,039 year head coach and program history speaks volumes about what 498 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,400 coach Kamard has been able to do with this roster 499 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,200 and to now get to the championship game of the 500 00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:42,880 WB I T I mean, my hats are off to 501 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,200 all of these players in this coaching staff for for 502 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,680 locking down at the end of the season when they 503 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,319 needed it most and now they're in line for a 504 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,519 possible championship. 505 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,599 Speaker 4: Give me a scouting report on Columbia. What challenges do 506 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:56,440 they pose? 507 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:57,519 Speaker 3: And uh? 508 00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 4: How how uh how built? How ready use this boy 509 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,200 women's basketball team? 510 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, Colombia is interesting because I'm going to assume. And 511 00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:08,119 the reason I say this is because to a certain 512 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,519 degree I was this way. I'm not paying attention to 513 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:14,000 what IVY League basketball is doing. I don't know much 514 00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:17,599 about the Columbia Lions, and so you know, as they 515 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,160 started to make their way down the line and the WB, 516 00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:23,119 I t like, oh, well, that could be interesting if 517 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,240 it's BYU and Colombia. And obviously that's the matchup we 518 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,119 have now. But you know, this is a team that 519 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,440 win eleven and three in IVY League play. They have 520 00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:36,400 two IVY League First team players. They also have the 521 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,240 IVY League Player of the Year, and that's Riley Weiss. 522 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,000 She leads his team in scoring at about twenty points 523 00:25:43,079 --> 00:25:46,640 per game, a couple of IVY League first teamers. They've 524 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,119 got the defensive player of the Year in the IVY 525 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,119 League in Perry Page. So you know, they've got good players. 526 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,799 What's really interesting about this team is they are really 527 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,039 top heavy in terms of They've only got two players 528 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,519 that average double figures in scoring, and you know I 529 00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:10,880 mentioned that that wife is their leading scorer at twenty 530 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,440 page averages fourteen point seven and nobody else on the 531 00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:19,759 roster averages ten points per game, So they kind of 532 00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:22,799 do it a little differently. One of the things really 533 00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:25,079 two things that really stand out about them to me 534 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,359 two words energy and hustle. That's how they do it. 535 00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:33,599 They're a really good rebounding team, but they are that 536 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,880 team that's scrappy that they are going NonStop all the 537 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,880 time and if you don't dive on the floor for 538 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,400 a loose ball, they're going to get it because that's 539 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,559 kind of their mo So BYU's got to be very 540 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,000 very aware that that Columbia is going to be that 541 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,839 team that's always going to have energy. They're going to 542 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,839 always be going for the loose balls, They're going to 543 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,960 be going to the glass. BYU is going to have 544 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,240 to to take care of that because that's kind of 545 00:27:02,279 --> 00:27:07,880 how Columbia does. Has been able to get this far. Uh, 546 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,400 they've had some big performances, but they're just a hustling team. 547 00:27:12,039 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 7: Uh. 548 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 6: And that's something why I just gonna have to pay 549 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,559 attention to tonight. 550 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, Columbia, I mean they went on a bit of 551 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,880 a tear in the IVY League late in the season, 552 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,799 and they were winning at a high rate. Obviously a 553 00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:25,440 twenty four and eight team, they were second in the 554 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,079 IVY League, didn't get into the NCAA tournament. 555 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 2: It is what it is, highly competitive. 556 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 4: Games with UH with Harvard UH to end the season. 557 00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:37,119 But UH, it's a it's a team that has some 558 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,240 good talent and scoring ability. You mentioned a few of 559 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,720 the elements. Where where's BYU at right now? Health wise? 560 00:27:43,799 --> 00:27:46,599 Where they at as far as UH, Are they playing 561 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,279 their best ball right now of the season. 562 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 6: Oh, there's no question about it. Yeah, you know, the 563 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,680 the only the only player that's that's not going to 564 00:27:55,759 --> 00:27:58,160 be available as Maria Hudgens, and like I said, she 565 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,079 she has not been able to play for you know, 566 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,319 for a little over a month. But BYU is healthy, 567 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,359 they're gonna, you know, have the same lineup that they've 568 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,559 had during this stretch where they've won nine out of 569 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,680 ten games and everything changed. The the turning point in 570 00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:19,200 this season for BYU was was the two game stretch 571 00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:23,720 where they they lost by thirty at Colorado. Then they 572 00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:27,119 came home against Cincinnati and we all thought, okay, well, 573 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,160 here's here's a get right game. This is this can 574 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,240 be a game that BYU can get and then see 575 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,079 what happens down the stretch. And then the Cougar's lost 576 00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:38,680 to the Bearcats at home. And from that point on, 577 00:28:39,079 --> 00:28:42,720 BYU has been a completely different team because you look 578 00:28:42,759 --> 00:28:45,240 at what they've done. You know, that's the stretch where 579 00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:48,759 they go to Utah and Delaney Gibb has her second 580 00:28:49,119 --> 00:28:52,920 career high against the University of Utah, just goes off 581 00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:55,599 and plays on another level in the third quarter and 582 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,079 BYU wins that game. Then they go on the road 583 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,599 at Arizona State and they're down fifteen in the third 584 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,720 quarter and they rally to make a run. That two 585 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,880 those two games where they lost. I always and it's 586 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,759 sort of cliche and like, would you have been able 587 00:29:13,759 --> 00:29:16,000 to do what you've done now if you didn't have 588 00:29:16,279 --> 00:29:20,279 that low point? Is that what sort of spurred this 589 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,519 team on? And I tend to believe it was. I 590 00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:28,039 just feel like that the team has been different since then, 591 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,279 and to be able to go on the road, Like 592 00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:32,119 I said, you beat Utah on the road, you beat 593 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,440 Arizona State on the road, and then you come back 594 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,720 home and the team that beat you by thirty, then 595 00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:41,039 you come back and beat them at home by twelve. 596 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,119 So I mean, this is this is a team that 597 00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:48,279 had kind of got into a really good rhythm at 598 00:29:48,279 --> 00:29:50,200 the end of the regular season and then took that 599 00:29:50,359 --> 00:29:53,680 into the Big twelve tournament. The only loss of Eyu's 600 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,519 had is to rank TCU, and we obviously know how 601 00:29:56,559 --> 00:30:00,000 good this TCU team was. So that's the only law 602 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,559 that the Cougars have had since the end of February. So, 603 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,079 I mean, that's that's pretty remarkable. And you know they're 604 00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:08,920 a team that's playing with a lot of confidence. When 605 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,960 you've got Delaney Gibb on your roster, why wouldn't you 606 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,960 be confident. I mean, she's averaging eighteen points a game 607 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,599 that leads the team, five rebounds a game, four almost 608 00:30:18,599 --> 00:30:21,599 five assists, which leads the game, leads the team. So 609 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,839 Delaney Gibb, even though she only had the twelve points, 610 00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:29,680 she always makes winning plays for her team, even if 611 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,759 the shots not falling. I believe it was. I think 612 00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:35,400 it was seven rebounds and six assists or six rebounds 613 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,759 and seven assists. I may have it it flipped backwards, 614 00:30:38,039 --> 00:30:40,599 but she was still an impact in the game and 615 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,960 then the game against Kansas was kind of the freshman 616 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,000 you had a career high of twenty three year old 617 00:30:49,079 --> 00:30:53,680 tied her career high for Olivia, Hamlin, Sydney Bonali four 618 00:30:53,839 --> 00:30:58,160 made threes, Bola had huge points, had six points, a 619 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,960 couple putbacks. So it was a great team win against 620 00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:05,400 Kansas and by the way, the first win they'd ever 621 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,039 had against the Kansas Jayhawks. So to be very long 622 00:31:09,119 --> 00:31:11,599 winded to answer your question, this is a team that 623 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,720 feels really, really good about their chances of going into 624 00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:17,559 this game tonight and coming away with the WBIT title. 625 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 4: Jason Sheppard played by playvoys for the women's basketball team 626 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,519 of BYU, talking some Cougar basketball, getting prep, getting ready 627 00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:29,359 for that wb it T championship game. 628 00:31:29,799 --> 00:31:32,359 Speaker 2: I believe BYU is a favorite in this game. Are 629 00:31:32,359 --> 00:31:34,279 they not? Are they? They got to be the favorite 630 00:31:34,279 --> 00:31:35,480 in this game. I don't know. I haven't checked the 631 00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:37,240 lines yet, the Vegas lines. 632 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 6: I have actually not seen a line on this game. 633 00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:45,359 It would be my guess that they are favored. I 634 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,359 will tell you on the ESPN. 635 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:56,119 Speaker 4: Analytics app algorith Yeah, you know it's Colombia's actually a favorite. 636 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,519 Speaker 6: Harby is favored with that but I have not seen 637 00:31:59,559 --> 00:32:02,119 a line on this game. I would be shocked if 638 00:32:02,119 --> 00:32:04,960 BYU's not by us the number one overall seed in 639 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,400 this tournament, and Colombia is a four seed, So I 640 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,160 would I would certainly believe that b YU would be 641 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,559 the favorite in this game. To me, they're the favorite. 642 00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:16,119 And that's not even blue goggled. I mean, to me, 643 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,079 they're the the far more, you know, team that we 644 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,960 know more about that that has sort of proven itself. 645 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,960 And I guess maybe that's maybe that's a little short sided. 646 00:32:26,079 --> 00:32:28,519 I think anybody it gets to this point when you've 647 00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:31,440 when you've won five games in this tournament, you know 648 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,839 you've you've proven yourself. But I would I would be 649 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,680 I would be shocked if the actual Vegas line has 650 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,480 b YU as an underdog in this. 651 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:46,119 Speaker 4: So I'm looking at that matchup predictor sixty eight point 652 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,799 five chance according to espnist Why use that? Why do 653 00:32:49,799 --> 00:32:53,160 you think the uh the analytics per ESPN are in 654 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,279 favor of Colombia? Is it because of their scoring ability? 655 00:32:55,279 --> 00:32:57,799 I mean, Weiss is pretty nice. I mean she shoots 656 00:32:57,799 --> 00:33:00,240 what forty three point five percent for the field and 657 00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:04,119 eight eighty three percent almost from the charity stripe. 658 00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think I think a lot of 659 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,000 it has to do with what they do. I mean, 660 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,160 and some of it is also what they do defensively, 661 00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:16,640 because you look at as a team, they're scoring about 662 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,759 seventy two points per game, BYUS at seventy one, So that's, 663 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,279 you know, pretty pretty much the same. But BYU gives 664 00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:29,599 up sixty four Columbia gives up fifty eight. Now, I 665 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,599 would also tell you that BYU has played far better 666 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,000 competition along the way than what Columbia has when you 667 00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:40,920 look at the entirety of the schedule. So I mean, 668 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,640 I don't know that they are putting quite a bit 669 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,200 of stock maybe in what they do defensively. But both 670 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,240 teams shoot the ball at right around thirty one thirty 671 00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:54,240 two percent from three. Columbia does shoot the ball about 672 00:33:54,279 --> 00:33:58,680 three percentage points better from the field than what BYU does. 673 00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:03,559 But yeah, I'm not one hundred percent sure why that 674 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:09,039 ESPN predictor has Colombia as such a favorite the way 675 00:34:09,079 --> 00:34:11,400 they do. I've seen that the last couple of days, 676 00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:14,000 and I kept waiting for it to sort of update itself, 677 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,119 and it never did, so I'm like, I guess I 678 00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:20,360 don't know, maybe it's the typical BYU doesn't get any respect. 679 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,760 Speaker 4: Right, Well, give me your keys to the game here. 680 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,239 What do you want to see from this women's team 681 00:34:26,679 --> 00:34:31,239 tonight in order to get that championship, that chip in 682 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:31,920 that ring. 683 00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:37,199 Speaker 6: Essentially, Yeah, to me, there are three things. Number one, 684 00:34:38,599 --> 00:34:42,199 cannot turn the ball over. Both teams are averaging around 685 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,880 sixteen turnovers per game. But BYU has done a really 686 00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:51,800 nice job during this winning streak of significantly cutting down 687 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,239 on the turnovers. The days where you know, they went 688 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,360 through a stretch where in three consecutive games they had 689 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,760 twenty one tw andovers, twenty six turnovers, twenty seven turnovers. 690 00:35:04,199 --> 00:35:07,840 During this stretch, BYU has not come close to that. 691 00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:11,159 The turnover numbers have come way down. So to me, 692 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:16,440 not turning the ball over and giving Colombia easy opportunities 693 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,840 to score off turnovers is one big key. Second big 694 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,239 key for me is rebounding Columbia. Because of their hustle, 695 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,880 they do get to a lot of rebounds. If the 696 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:32,840 Cougars can win the rebounding battle, especially on the offensive glass, 697 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,639 I think that also bodes well. And then really it's 698 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:43,719 been when BYUS three point shot is falling. They're really 699 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,760 tough to be and it's not so much just hitting threes, 700 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:52,159 but it feels like BYU's threes come at just huge moments. 701 00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:56,599 There's always this stretch in a game, and it's most 702 00:35:56,679 --> 00:35:59,159 times it's in the third quarter. I don't know why 703 00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:01,360 it's always been the third, but most of the time 704 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,079 it's been in the third. The last couple of games, 705 00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:06,920 including the Kansas win, it actually happened in the fourth quarter, 706 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,559 but BYU will go on this run. Against Kansas, it 707 00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:13,880 was a nine to nothing run in the fourth quarter, 708 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,000 and a lot of that was due to hitting a 709 00:36:16,039 --> 00:36:20,480 couple of threes, and it's it's it's these runs of 710 00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:23,360 you know, nine to oh, twelve oh fifteen oh something 711 00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:27,000 or maybe a seventeen to three runs something like that 712 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,360 that will flip the game and bring BYU all the 713 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,119 momentum and sort of carry them to the win. That's 714 00:36:33,199 --> 00:36:35,719 kind of what I expect and what and what BYU. 715 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:40,079 The recipe for the Cougars to win has been so rebounding. 716 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,840 Make sure you win the rebounding battle, especially on the glass. 717 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,079 Don't turn the ball over, certainly, don't turn the ball 718 00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:51,000 over leading directly to points and then if BYU's feeling 719 00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:53,480 it from three, if the three point shot has fallen down, 720 00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:55,400 I love the Cougar chances tonight. 721 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 4: Well, I love Lee Kamard, and I think the future 722 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,360 is bright under Lee. Even if they don't win this 723 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,679 championship game. I want to see it happen. I need 724 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,960 to see it happen, of course, But I'm just excited 725 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,559 about the future of BA women's basketball right now. 726 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:09,079 Speaker 2: With Lee Adhelm. 727 00:37:09,159 --> 00:37:12,679 Speaker 4: Are we seeing the second coming of Juddy here? With 728 00:37:13,039 --> 00:37:18,519 Lee Kamar's coaching ability recruiting ability. 729 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,119 Speaker 6: Well, I mean, look just look at what he was 730 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:25,599 able to do in terms of player retention when the 731 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,400 when the announcement was made that the Cougars were going 732 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,000 to go with a new head coach, and Byu moved 733 00:37:32,039 --> 00:37:34,280 fairly quickly to be able to get Lee in because 734 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,320 they knew they couldn't they couldn't risk losing some players, 735 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,639 and so they were able to get Lee locked in. 736 00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:44,960 And that brought back you know, the Lady Gibbs. She's 737 00:37:45,079 --> 00:37:48,280 mentioned multiple times in interviews that you know, there was 738 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,880 a lot of stuff up in the air. You don't 739 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,719 know who the coach is, you don't know what the 740 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,039 situation's going to look like But as soon as she 741 00:37:54,079 --> 00:37:56,000 found out it was Lee, it was like, okay, done, 742 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,840 I'm in I'm coming back, you know. And it brought 743 00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:02,519 you Kaylee Wolf's who is a return missionary who's red 744 00:38:02,519 --> 00:38:06,480 shirting this year. You know, she she immediately was able 745 00:38:06,559 --> 00:38:09,480 to she made the decision that she was going to 746 00:38:09,519 --> 00:38:13,159 be coming back. So you had all these players that 747 00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:16,079 that he was able to retain that have all been 748 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,880 huge parts of the success of the team this year. 749 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,440 And I can tell you whether it's whether it's you know, 750 00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:29,960 in in team meetings or during team activities, these players 751 00:38:30,159 --> 00:38:33,960 absolutely love Lee. And the best part about it is 752 00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:37,679 Lee can be a coach and get on them sometimes, 753 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,960 but he he also can laugh with them and joke 754 00:38:42,039 --> 00:38:45,960 with them, and it's it's really fun to see the 755 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,679 relationship that he has with these players and how they 756 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,800 respond to him because he asks a lot of them, 757 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:59,639 but yet they they they still know that that he 758 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,320 cares for them and that they can win with him. 759 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,679 They've all bought in, which is which is fantastic and 760 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,639 I'm so happy that he has been rewarded. He doesn't 761 00:39:09,679 --> 00:39:12,199 like to talk about it. Anytime I asked him about 762 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,159 you know, passing Jeff Judkins on the you know, the 763 00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:17,639 the first year win list. You know, he doesn't really 764 00:39:17,639 --> 00:39:21,440 want to talk about himself, but I'm so happy that 765 00:39:21,639 --> 00:39:24,519 he has been able to get this type of recognition 766 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,519 because he deserves every bit of it. 767 00:39:27,519 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 4: Jason Sheppard, the voice of the Boa women's basketball team Hyperness, 768 00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:35,239 prepping us for this b YU Women's Basketball Championship game 769 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,519 in the w b I T and i'd, like I said, 770 00:39:38,519 --> 00:39:40,480 I'm excited for the future of this team from a 771 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,639 recruiting standpoint, a returning talent standpoint. 772 00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:44,159 Speaker 2: I know, in the transfer. 773 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,039 Speaker 4: Portal nil era, we never really know, but like what's 774 00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:51,239 returning next year, Jason after a great run in the postseason. 775 00:39:52,119 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, we obviously we know that the three seniors Hattie Ogden, 776 00:39:58,599 --> 00:40:03,840 Heather Hampson and a lot of rocal they will be graduating. 777 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,119 So so those three we'll be moving on. There are 778 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,039 there are three freshmen that will be coming in to 779 00:40:12,119 --> 00:40:17,559 take those places, to take those spots. But I mentioned 780 00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:21,280 Kaylie Woolston back from her mission. She's been back with 781 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,400 the team since I believe December, kind of late December, 782 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,760 right after the very first game of Big Twelve play 783 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,239 against UCF. I believe is when she was back kind 784 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,360 of ramping things up. So bringing her back for those 785 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,760 that remember, you know, a couple of seasons ago her 786 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,239 she is an unbelievable shooter. So to be able to 787 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,960 add another shooter of her level to the guard line 788 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,719 is pretty big. Speaking of bigs, I think that's probably 789 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,280 where BYU will look, uh to see what they can 790 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,440 do in terms of bigs. You know, you do have 791 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,840 Bola who was a freshman this year that will be 792 00:41:00,119 --> 00:41:02,239 will be coming back and so right now Bolus kind 793 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,519 of you're only big on the roster right now, So 794 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,559 I would expect that to be an area where the 795 00:41:08,639 --> 00:41:13,519 team looks to to see what they can do from 796 00:41:13,559 --> 00:41:17,199 a from an acquisition standpoint. But getting year two of 797 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,280 Olivia Hamlin will be big. Sydney Binali as a true 798 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,079 freshman now the all time freshman leader in a SIS 799 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,519 started every game for freshman year, will be back and 800 00:41:28,599 --> 00:41:31,960 I think she'll be better. So there's a lot coming 801 00:41:32,039 --> 00:41:35,039 back and they're gonna be infused with some some more 802 00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:38,480 really good young guard talent. To me, I think the 803 00:41:38,599 --> 00:41:40,719 question will be is just what else can they do 804 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,320 in terms of bringing in some some size onto the roster, 805 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,480 and that's kind of what I think. I think what 806 00:41:46,559 --> 00:41:48,159 I'm looking to see what they do. 807 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 4: Jason, good luck on your call, not that you need it, 808 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,960 hopefully it's a fantastic event. Well what type of uh 809 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,840 of uh A like amount, what's the the maybe the 810 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,519 attendant of BYU fans going to be denied? 811 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,559 Speaker 2: We're gonna get a sold out crowd there in Wichita. 812 00:42:06,559 --> 00:42:08,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. It was a good 813 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:13,039 showing of BYU fans. I would say there was probably 814 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,639 I don't know, one hundred two hundred BYU fans would 815 00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:18,320 be my guest. And I'm horrible at judging crowds, so 816 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,760 that may be way off, but that's kind of what 817 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,960 it felt like it was. It was interesting because in 818 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,440 the last game, you know, obviously we're two and a 819 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,079 half hours from Kansas's campus. Plus you're gonna have a 820 00:42:30,119 --> 00:42:33,760 ton of KU fans here in Wichita anyway, So it 821 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:39,039 was definitely a predominantly Jayhawk crowd. And and and so 822 00:42:39,199 --> 00:42:42,239 the lower the lower area was I mean, there was 823 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,199 a lot of people there. Columbia's coming from from New York, 824 00:42:46,639 --> 00:42:50,320 so I didn't see a ton of Columbia Lions fans 825 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,960 during their game against Wisconsin. I am curious to know 826 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,400 what the crowd looks like today. I do know that there. 827 00:42:56,599 --> 00:42:58,639 I've heard from a lot of BYU fans that maybe 828 00:42:58,679 --> 00:43:01,159 weren't able to make it to the game against Kansas 829 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,639 that are in the area regionally, you know, say, within 830 00:43:04,679 --> 00:43:07,000 two three hours. I have heard that they are planning 831 00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:09,840 on making the drive to try and come and support 832 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,000 the Cougars. So I would expect there to be I 833 00:43:13,039 --> 00:43:15,920 don't know, at least a couple hundred BYU fans and 834 00:43:16,119 --> 00:43:20,400 certainly outnumber the Columbia fans that'll be there. So I'm 835 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,599 assuming it'll be a predominantly go Koog's crowd tonight. 836 00:43:24,199 --> 00:43:27,079 Speaker 2: Need the loyal, strong and true repping. 837 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 4: The Royal Blue to show up, show out out there 838 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,440 in Wichita.
