Anderson and his crew Banterwealth. Let's band together build some

14
00:00:37,799 --> 00:00:39,880
wealth today at Banterwealth. I want to get into the

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,159
little college basketball talk here. Yes, indeed, love me some

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,200
Kevin Young Kyu and there's BAYU basketball team. They look

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,479
fantastic in the exhibition versus UNC and I think they'll

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,960
continue to get better and better throughout the season. There's

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,399
going to be accelerated growth, accelerated continuity, chemistry and culture

20
00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:03,159
built on this team. Even though there are there is

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,120
a significant amount of new faces, new personalities, h just

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,159
newness to this roster. They can get old stayaled real

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,400
quick in my opinion because k Y you and his staff, right,

24
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:22,319
they have a fantastic organizational design. Elite organizational design combined

25
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:27,159
with elite culture creates elite results and it doesn't take time.

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:33,519
There's no me, there's no me first type of situation

27
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:36,519
down there at for BYU basketball. The culture is winning

28
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,920
out I think this year, and we're going to see

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,799
immediate impact. The biggest thing is just keeping them healthy, right,

30
00:01:41,879 --> 00:01:45,120
keeping them strong, and you can keep them healthy probably

31
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:48,480
with no I can't. I don't want to say. That

32
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:50,640
may be a histing a byword, a little bit of

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,400
load management. You're gonna have to utilize, you know, eight

34
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:57,239
to eleven man rotation. It may be twelve man rotation

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,959
by the time we get into common Frints play and

36
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:01,599
that's okay.

37
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: Remember we didn't think that that was gonna happen.

38
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: We thought it would be a little bit tighter, but

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,840
we saw in at the end of Big twelve play

40
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:13,360
and into conference tournament and NCAA tournament play, the.

41
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,879
Speaker 2: Rotation expanded.

42
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 3: I think when were we were averaging Rodnie like eleven

43
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:22,879
almost twelve players per game. At eleven players a game, yet,

44
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:25,000
I mean it was it was awesome and I don't

45
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,759
think k why expected that, but that's where he found

46
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,360
his groove. So they're taking on Villan Nova tonight. We're

Hill drink Sprite. Sprite is not a sponsor. They can be,

83
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:37,279
but I'm just reflecting on a commercial of the past

84
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,639
in my childhood. Andy Katz guys, Andy Katz is going

85
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,240
to be on the sideline for this, So it's gonna

86
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,439
be a nice It's gonna be a nice crew. All

87
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,879
eyes on BYU basketball as well. How do you see

88
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,639
this game? Ronald the three man Weaver? What's your scouting

89
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,120
report on Villa Nova?

90
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: What do you see it?

91
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 4: Yeah?

92
00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:59,079
Speaker 5: I think the key is gonna come down to Ken

93
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,720
beat rebat excuse me, good and gracious? Can Bay you

94
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,480
rebound the basketball and give themselves second chance opportunities when

95
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:07,839
it matters most. That was the key right last year,

96
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,120
Ki Baketa and Fu san Intro set the tone a

97
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,279
lot on the glass. You can't get out rebounded. You

98
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,800
can't give the opposing team. The opposition second chance points.

99
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,360
You need to grab your second chance points and then

100
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,600
grab the defensive rebounds and push the ball in transition.

101
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,560
So I think if they're able to do that, Ben,

102
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,040
push the ball in transition, score at a fast pace,

103
00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:28,959
and grab rebounds. I really think that's how you're going

104
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,759
to be at to slow this Villanova team down. Obviously,

105
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,120
they need to take care of their own things. They

106
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,160
need to shoot the three ball better. Fifteen to fifty

107
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,079
six in the last two exhibition games. But again their

108
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,279
exhibition for a reason, got to guard the perimeter. That

109
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:44,759
was something to struggle with in that first exhibition. Can

110
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:48,079
have guys wide open, can't get lost in transosition, Gotta

111
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,680
get back on defense. So and then I think the

112
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,160
bench ben who comes off the bench to give Bou

113
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:55,199
a spark, when Rob Wright goes to the bench, when

114
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,439
Richie goes to the bench, when aj needs to take

115
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,959
a breather, I think Dawson Aer bakeing me a kick

116
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,879
as fast as you can. Dawson Baker can, I think

117
00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:06,319
really emerges that person. I think we'll see him for

118
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:09,000
the first time this season tonight. He's going to be

119
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,399
the guy because when you think of a guy who

120
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:12,360
can go create their own shot, not a guy that

121
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,639
she can draw to and kick. We're talking about a

122
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,839
guy that can go take over a game, a walk

123
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,360
in thirty buckets, thirty points to whatever you want to do.

124
00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:22,600
It's Dawson. It's number twenty five on the BAU basketball team.

125
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,480
So how they rotate their bench players and not how

126
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:27,680
they come I think that will determine what it comes

127
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,839
down to in that middle portion when guys are getting

128
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,279
a breather, but I do believe that aj Rob and

129
00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:34,120
Richie will put the game away when.

130
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: It matters most. In BYU covered tonight.

131
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: Villano is in a little bit of a reset mode.

132
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: Coach Kevin Willard takes over a revamp roster featuring two

133
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,439
key transfers Bryan Bryce Lindsay, Duke Brennan and Giant Stamford.

134
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,160
The Wildcats win two and two in their last four games,

135
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,600
by the way, and split their twenty twenty five exhibition

136
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:57,480
matchup and beat VCU and lost to Virginia. As I

137
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,040
mentioned a couple of things here as it pertains to

138
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:03,319
the lines, by US a heavy favorite nine and a

139
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,360
half point favorite.

140
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:05,879
Speaker 4: Uh and uh.

141
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: I believe the over under set at one fifty three

142
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:14,399
point five so ESPN Matchup Predictor gives by US sixty

143
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:18,000
eight point five percent chance of victory there in Vegas.

144
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,560
All right, let's hear from Kevin Young. Okay, uh, your

145
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:25,560
head coach. Uh, this was on Halloween by the way

146
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,040
of prepping, uh, you know, kind of a post exhibition

147
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,000
eval update on the BYU Cougar basketball team and prepping

148
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,800
for your for your matchup versus Villanova.

149
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:35,399
Speaker 2: Let's tune in.

150
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna get back to it having a

151
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,040
little technical difficulty there as we get your prep, get

152
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:58,720
you ready for this BYU Villanova matchup the Villanova Wildcats

153
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,040
Little Cougar on Cougar Action, seven thirty PM. As I mentioned,

154
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,519
and can't wait to see what happens with this game. Obviously,

155
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:13,160
Villanova ended last season. They their season ended versus UCF,

156
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:17,399
disappointing loss for them. Who was in ot right one

157
00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:24,040
O four ninety eight and so and then BYU obviously

158
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,560
ended their season last year versus Alabama and and and

159
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,159
that was a that was a disappointing loss for the

160
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,639
BAU Cougar basketball team one thirteen to eighty eight. But

161
00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:38,879
this is a revamped, remodeled restructure, a better defensive team

162
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,759
and a better, hopefully three point shooting team. We haven't

163
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,960
seen the efficiency from the three point line yet, still

164
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,120
a question mark, but I hope it it begins to

165
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,080
pick up from the perimeter. All right, let's get into it.

166
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:55,159
Kevin Young, head coach b YU men's basketball.

167
00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:00,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kevin, I was wondering coming out of the exhibition games,

168
00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:04,000
was there something maybe you learned about this group when

169
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,240
you reviewed the film that maybe you didn't realize about

170
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:09,480
this team during summer and fall practices.

171
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:12,919
Speaker 7: Everything, honestly, I mean, I'm still learning about our group.

172
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,879
But so I was just telling the coaches in our

173
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,320
meeting just now. You know, it's really hard to learn

174
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,440
about your team when you're just playing against the same

175
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:21,879
bodies every day in the same schemes and everyone knows

176
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:24,120
what you're doing. So it would be really hard for

177
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,120
me to just pinpoint one thing. I mean, I think

178
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:28,639
I'm learning where to get aj the ball. I'm thinking

179
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,000
and learning about what do we need to do when

180
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:31,919
Rob penetrates.

181
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about, you.

182
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 7: Know, when we take Rob ab out, who we put

183
00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:38,519
in you know, it literally litany of things, and so

184
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,759
you know, it's great to have the caliber of opponents.

185
00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:46,639
I wish we were healthier for the nebrask games so

186
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,279
we could have treated it more like a real game

187
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:50,440
like we did the Carolina one to really learn.

188
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,799
Speaker 2: But I could go on and on. I think the

189
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:55,080
for college.

190
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 7: Basketball, I think the exhibition games have been a tremendous

191
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,279
I wish they would go more to the NBA model

192
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:02,320
where you have a lot more of those games.

193
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,759
Speaker 4: I think it's really good for the game.

194
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 7: I think it helps the product when the regular season

195
00:10:06,919 --> 00:10:08,519
comes to be that much better.

196
00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:11,759
Speaker 6: And then when it also ask you just your thoughts.

197
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:13,720
I mean, year two for you to start things off

198
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:17,120
in a spotlight game where you know it's one of

199
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,679
the marquee games in the opening night of college basketball.

200
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:22,960
How far this program has evolved under your watch to

201
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,879
where it's a it's in a marquee spot nationally in

202
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:26,320
the sport.

203
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:28,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, I don't.

204
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 4: I don't think about it. It's what it should be.

205
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 7: It's what I said we wanted to make this place

206
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,639
when we got here. I'm grateful that people have decided

207
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,799
to come here to help us put us in that situation.

208
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,480
But this isn't like a you know, a feel good

209
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,759
moment because we have a quote unquote big game. Like

210
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:44,600
this is we want to play with the big boys.

211
00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:47,679
We want to be a contender and all things college basketball.

212
00:10:47,799 --> 00:10:51,919
And you know, it's not like a badge of honor

213
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,720
because we got a big game. It's like, that's what

214
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,639
we to, what we should want, and I'm glad that

215
00:10:56,759 --> 00:10:58,440
we have it. And now it's a matter of going

216
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:00,200
out and h and producing.

217
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 3: A couple of things here just kind of pontificating on

218
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:11,000
the and following up on the exhibitions and just being healthy. Look,

219
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,120
this BAU basketball team was not fully healthy versus Nebraska,

220
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:17,759
did not get into the rotations that he wanted to,

221
00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:20,519
didn't have access to him. UNC game a little bit different.

222
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,360
They were finally healthy and they were able to get

223
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,240
into their rotations. A couple of other things. Here is

224
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:30,679
some of the questions that are still on the docket. Okay,

225
00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:33,919
when he benches Rob Wright, who am I going with?

226
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,039
That has not been determined yet. And who's gonna be

227
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,799
the primary ball handler? When Rob right the thirties off

228
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,240
the court?

229
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: Is it Aj? Is he gonna be your point forward?

230
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: Is he gonna be your primary ball handler, distributor playmaker?

231
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: If there could be that, like, they may have more.

232
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,279
Speaker 3: Trust in Aj setting up their half court offense and

233
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,399
finding the right shots for not only himself but for

234
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,440
the rest of the playmakers of this squad, of this

235
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:10,759
roster as the second unit, if you will, with Rob

236
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:13,759
on the bench, is it Nate Pickens, who's been a

237
00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:17,840
guard a point guard? Is it Dawson Baker? To be determined,

238
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,159
that's gonna have to be earned. And that was one

239
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,320
of the main questions that he posed to himself and

240
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,639
the media in this media availability on all hallow Z

241
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:29,639
just a few days ago.

242
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely think what you said is absolutely accurate.

243
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,120
AJ is one hundred percent being going to be the

244
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:36,480
next ball handler. I think if Rob goes out. You

245
00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:38,279
saw it in the Blue and White game and Rob

246
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,039
didn't even play. AJ was playing point forward. So based

247
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,799
off of what we've seen and even the Nebraska game,

248
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,159
in the North Carolina game, when he goes out, AJ's

249
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:47,360
gonna have the ball in his hands.

250
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 4: Kelly Youngs told him make the right read. So definitely

251
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,000
gonna see agent.

252
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:52,159
Speaker 5: But I think a couple of the guys that have

253
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,000
an opportunity tonight, what does Nate Pickens maybe give you.

254
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,519
He's gonna be more of a defensive guard in the

255
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,000
Tray Stewart type role, but they.

256
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,279
Speaker 4: Also can score. He can move to basketball as well.

257
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 5: And then Dawson Baker is gonna have his opportunity to

258
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,879
night Ben, He's gonna have his opportunity to play the

259
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,639
scoring point guard, not really maybe set up the offense.

260
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,320
Maybe that's evolved in that development. We might see that.

261
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:13,559
But Dawson's gonna have the opportunity to run to pick

262
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,840
and roll. Remember last year when he and fus Or

263
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,159
in that pick and roll, they were so dominant because

264
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:20,879
if you play too high, Dawson would be at a

265
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,759
pinion deep and then get to the basket or get

266
00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:25,240
that ball to Fos and work. Now a different team

267
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,519
inside the paint. But I think Dawson's another guy that

268
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:29,840
might have the opportunity. And lastly, I think this is

269
00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:31,919
the guy that gets forgotten about. If he's in the game,

270
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,639
he can score. Canard Davis Junior can play some point

271
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,399
guard now Ben he can score, he can pass the ball,

272
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:39,639
set up the offense. One of Canard's biggest strengths is

273
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,720
not just his ability to shoot the three ball bin

274
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:43,960
and play defense, but Kannark can pass the ball as

275
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,120
well and stretch the floor and make the right lead.

276
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 4: So I think those are your guys.

277
00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:49,519
Speaker 5: Ag is your primary one that will do it when

278
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:52,120
Rob's out, But I think Nate, Dawson and Cannard they'll

279
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,159
rotate the ball through those three guys in the point

280
00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:56,080
guard position, no doubt.

281
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,639
Speaker 3: All right, let's get back to the sound Kevin Young

282
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,279
the media on Halloween just a few days ago.

283
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,519
Speaker 4: A right go Jackson.

284
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 8: Then Jay, Thank Kevin, I know that you had some

285
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,720
guys sidelined during the exhibition games. Just wondering where you

286
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:13,679
guys are at healthwise and if guys like Dawson and

287
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:15,279
Nate are going to play against Villanova.

288
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 7: Still still to be determined on Dawson. I think we'll

289
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:23,480
have an update on Nate shortly. That's where we're at.

290
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 9: Go ahead, j Drew, Yeah, Kevin.

291
00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: You're jump all right.

292
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: Roddie, any any thoughts on this, you know his comments.

293
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:35,919
Any concerns here in your opinion?

294
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 5: No, I don't think there are any concerns. I think

295
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,840
it's guys that are available to plays. Just do they

296
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,159
want to play them? Bean, do they want to get

297
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,639
them out there?

298
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 3: Now?

299
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: I think these are week the week, you know type injuries,

300
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:47,480
maybe daily day.

301
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 5: I think these guys are practicing, Ben they might be limited,

302
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,840
but I think that's the thing when you're practicing, Like

303
00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:54,639
you mentioned in the first early SoundBite that we heard,

304
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:56,919
playing against yourself and doing what you're doing is a

305
00:14:56,919 --> 00:14:59,080
little bit different than playing against someone else. You never

306
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,480
want to send a guy out there and get him hurt.

307
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:02,440
That's what they hell rob out. So I think it's

308
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,639
like that type of situation. Of these I think are

309
00:15:04,679 --> 00:15:06,360
week to week. I don't know anything. This is just

310
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,639
assuming from what is common, so I don't think there's

311
00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:11,639
any concern there. I think both of those guys can

312
00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:14,240
be available to play, is just will they play, So

313
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:14,960
we'll find out.

314
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:17,759
Speaker 3: All right, let's get back to the sound talking some

315
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,679
BYU basketball with Kevin Young.

316
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,399
Speaker 9: With a really good opponent in Villanova. What's kind of

317
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,159
your readiness level of the team as opposed to maybe

318
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,080
last year at this time.

319
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 7: I think the two exhibition games forced us to get

320
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,320
a lot more ready, with all due respect to what

321
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,200
we did last year's preseason. You know, it's a lot

322
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:44,799
different playing the caliber component of opponent. So I think

323
00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:50,320
through that that's helped us, you know, I think. But

324
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:53,000
at the same time, it's early, right, it's super early

325
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,320
in the season, and we're still learning on how to

326
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,639
play together. I'm still learning how to sub this group

327
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:02,240
of learning on the on the right actions that need

328
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,000
to be run, the defenses that need to be employed.

329
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,679
So I feel good. I just told the coaches in

330
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:09,679
our meeting, I mean, this is the best I've felt

331
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:16,120
all offseason or preseason in terms of just how I'm

332
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,159
wrapping my personal head around what this team and what

333
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,519
this group of players needs. And you know, it's an

334
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:26,799
exciting challenge as with makes coaching really fun, you know,

335
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:29,759
especially in this era right where things change or changing

336
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:33,879
constantly year to year. It really really puts a lot

337
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,240
of strain on your mental capacity to to have to

338
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,399
think through all this stuff and get things ready. But

339
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:40,639
I'm enjoying that challenge.

340
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 9: And then what have your preparations been, Like, obviously Kevin

341
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,679
Willard just knew Villanova the scouting, what what has gone

342
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,200
into that? What do you kind of expect from Villanova?

343
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: And what have you prepared for?

344
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, he's obviously a veteran college coach,

345
00:16:58,279 --> 00:16:59,879
so I think he has an identity. You know, I

346
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,159
have a lot of several coaches on my staff that

347
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,359
know the East coach really well. We've tapped into a

348
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,240
lot of our coaching friends out that way, have an

349
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,440
understanding of what Kevin Willard is kind of hangs his

350
00:17:12,519 --> 00:17:16,599
hat on. Obviously had a lot of success, and so

351
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,960
you know, I think watching their exhibition game against Virginia

352
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,880
was we try to learn from that. You know, they

353
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,440
played VCU and like a secret scrimmage and so that

354
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:29,880
film is not available. But actually the head coach at

355
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,920
VCU is one of the few college coaches that I know,

356
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Phil Martelly Junior. He was with our sixers organization for

357
00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:36,680
a minute when I was out there, so we've chatted

358
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,759
with him, and you just try to do your homework

359
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:39,319
the best you can.

360
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 4: I think it's it can be, it can be, it

361
00:17:41,759 --> 00:17:43,480
can be. It can cut both.

362
00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 7: Ways where you try to forecast too much and now

363
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,960
you know, maybe they don't even do what you what

364
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,039
you had forecast, And so I think it's really important

365
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:52,480
to go out there and be the best version of

366
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:54,599
ourself and not try to get so caught up in

367
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,519
a guessing game of what they could do, but still

368
00:17:57,559 --> 00:17:58,920
want to give our guys a little bit of a

369
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,599
heads up the best we can and based on the

370
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,480
things that you know, we we think they're gonna do.

371
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:03,839
So it's a it's a it's a bit of a

372
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:09,119
balancing balancing act, all right, Mitch.

373
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kevin, I was curious, with a Monday night game,

374
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,759
how much does that kind of alter uh routines. I

375
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:19,640
know it's the first regular season game for this team,

376
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,839
but with no Sunday, you know, practice or anything like that.

377
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 2: How does that alter things for you? Guys at b YU.

378
00:18:28,039 --> 00:18:30,759
Speaker 7: Don't know honestly, Like, well, we'll figure it out, you know,

379
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,319
one of our first times doing it.

380
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 4: But you know, not to get to like churchy or

381
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,400
spiritual with you.

382
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 7: But what I found in my life, man, is when

383
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,000
you when you when you, when you kind of do

384
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,960
what you're supposed to do, and in this case, not

385
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,359
playing or doing things on Sunday is what we're supposed

386
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,839
to do. Usually you know you're blessed and you're not.

387
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:50,559
You're not, uh, you know, you don't get a ding

388
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,400
because you're trying to do the right thing. And that's

389
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,119
just kind of how I've always approached these kinds of things,

390
00:18:56,559 --> 00:18:59,400
albeit more in my personal life and not not necessarily

391
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,759
in a work life. But that's that's my general approach there.

392
00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 6: And then also kind of going back to the court,

393
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,000
was there anything that you attribute the team struggles last

394
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,200
week from three against Carolinas or any concern moving forward

395
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,200
in that regard they were five to twenty five last week.

396
00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: No, it's a one game, all right, Ronnie. What do

397
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,759
you got for me? Some A couple of nuggets there

398
00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:25,720
in my opinion, First, there.

399
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 5: Let's start the last night. I'm just gonna tell my

400
00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:31,599
colleagues everybody in media can't be asking Kevin youung those questions.

401
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 4: He's gonna keep.

402
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 5: Hitting you with those responses. It's an NBA coach like,

403
00:19:35,279 --> 00:19:37,920
that's just how it goes. But he's got one game. Like, look,

404
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,920
this guy's not He's a no nonsense guy. You can

405
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,960
hear it in his voice. He wants to play ball

406
00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:44,079
probably and get to it and keep it pushing. He

407
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,279
talked about, you know, the Big Boys club, that they

408
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:48,000
should be here. He's not gonna hang his hat and

409
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:50,480
get a participation trophy. He knows where they should be.

410
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:52,480
To the point of identity, I think it's good to

411
00:19:52,519 --> 00:19:54,400
know who this Villanova team is. Obviously, I'd done a

412
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,519
little bit of a homework. Remember they went from Jay

413
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:59,359
Wright to Kyle Neptune. Kind of that was more physical.

414
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,759
They space in the four out, you know, one end

415
00:20:01,799 --> 00:20:04,160
type offense switching. That's kind of what those teams deal with.

416
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,359
Jay Ryding, Kal Neptune, Kevin Willard, you know, coming from Maryland,

417
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,920
a little bit of a different thing. I think they're

418
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,240
gonna play a lot of man to man defense. They're

419
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,640
gonna be very hard. They're gonna be scrappy. They're gonna

420
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,920
try to force a lot of turnovers. So we're gonna

421
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,839
find out how tough I think BYU is tonight. I

422
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,519
think you can see BYU earn their their money at

423
00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:22,839
the charity stripe Ben. They they like to be very

424
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,440
guard centric in the offense, so I think you're gonna

425
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,480
see again this is gonna be where we can see

426
00:20:27,519 --> 00:20:30,880
Canard Davis Junior if he can be a big twelve

427
00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:35,279
defensive player selection All type team, right, We're gonna see that.

428
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,880
So how do those two things take into effect? Just

429
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,519
thinking of the style of basketball Kevin Willard play when

430
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:42,039
he was at Maryland and what he's gonna ask of

431
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,640
his player. So I'm excited to see the defensive toughness

432
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,240
because they're gonna play Manda Man try to control the tempo.

433
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:50,400
And then they got experience offensive guards that they really

434
00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:52,839
like to create off the dribble and create space for everybody.

435
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,559
Speaker 4: So we'll see what they do.

436
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 3: I'm feeling good about them BYU Cougar basketball players and

437
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,400
are feeling good about these team.

438
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: That's our segment.

439
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,799

Orthopros of Utah Orthroposoutah dot com. Uh, we had a

445
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,000
a football player come in today. Hey, he needs to

446
00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:21,400
play on on Saturday, he needs to play this weekend.

447
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: And so what did we do?

448
00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:25,519
Speaker 3: He had an elbow injury. I'm sure you saw that.

449
00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:28,960
Did you see the Jaydan Daniels injury? Just horrific, crazy

450
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,519
elbow injury. Man, Yeah, you know, I don't know. I

451
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:34,240
don't think Lj's gonna be playing. Jayden Daniels going to

452
00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:35,640
be playing, not LJ. I don't know why I said

453
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,839
Ljlj's gonna be playing.

454
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:37,839
Speaker 2: I believe it.

455
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: Uh, with his shoulder, Jane Daniels would not be playing.

456
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:43,799

00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,079
com today. All right, a couple of nuggets coming out

504
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,559
of the college football world here.

505
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:13,759
Speaker 2: Let's start off with this.

506
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,039
Speaker 3: By Football is in a good spot, I'd say a

507
00:24:19,079 --> 00:24:23,400
great spot as a top ten team, and I think

508
00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:27,440
more and more analysts are buying into the BYU hype,

509
00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:32,359
more and more commentators are buying into the BYU hype.

510
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,680
ESPN college football insider Heather Dinitch is one of the

511
00:24:37,759 --> 00:24:42,359
most recent to buy into the BYU Cougars. She makes

512
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,240
the case for BYU as a seventh seed in the

513
00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:52,880
College Football Playoff initial rankings why they could be in

514
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:56,799
this spot. The Cougars had a bye week, and the

515
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,920
bye week did BYU pretty gosh dang well. A number

516
00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:05,400
of teams ended up losing that. You know that we're

517
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,200
in the top ten, But will the committee's loan undefeated

518
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:17,000
Big twelve team be considered a high profile college football

519
00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:20,400
team this go around. B yu's back to back wins

520
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,680
against Utah and Iowa State are collectively better than anything.

521
00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:29,440
Undefeated Georgia Tech has it's on its resume heading into Saturday.

522
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,000
Aboo's ranked number five in ESPN Strength of Record, metric

523
00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:36,799
ahead of number eight Georgia Tech. The more glaring discrepancy

524
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:40,720
is in the strength of schedule, though, where BYU was

525
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,519
number forty nine and Georgia Tech was number eighty three. Statistically,

526
00:25:44,559 --> 00:25:48,599
boy and Georgia Tech have been extremely even in most

527
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:53,200
major categories, but the Cougars have done it against better competition.

528
00:25:54,079 --> 00:25:58,039
So we're going to find out here shortly what the

529
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,960
College Football Playoff Committee think about the BYU Cougar's Where

530
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,119
do you see him being ranked?

531
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: Ronald and why?

532
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, when I look at it, I'll just give you

533
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,839
mine a little bit of how I think the rankings

534
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,079
will go. I don't think actually Ohio State will be

535
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,240
number one, Ben. I think when you're taking the strength

536
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,759
of schedule and who's been played and how it looks.

537
00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:17,799
I know Texas has done better and obviously they will

538
00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:20,319
help Ohio State's case. I think Indiana will be number one.

539
00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:22,880
I really think that program and what they do. The

540
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,119
extension came obviously we know to a certain coach. But

541
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,039
I think Indiana one, Ohio State two. I think Texas

542
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,319
and m will be three. I think those are the

543
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,440
three best teams in the country, no doubt. I do

544
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:36,559
have Alabama at four. I have Georgia at five, Oregon

545
00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:40,039
at six. I believe b YU will be seven. I

546
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,759
believe Ole Miss will be right behind BYU at eight.

547
00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:45,720
I just believe when they look at the conference champs

548
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:48,279
of who's leading, you have to take an undefeated team

549
00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:51,640
into account. I don't think you'll put a one loss

550
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,240
Ole Miss over all undefeated BYU, and I think that's

551
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:56,559
why Old Miss will be right behind at eight. Then

552
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,240
you know Texas check at nine, and I think you

553
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,359
round it out with Norder Dame at tim. But I

554
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,119
got BYU at seventh tomorrow and the College Football Playoff ranking,

555
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,119
I think that's where they will be similar to what

556
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,079
they were last season. So I think I got the

557
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,880
Kooks locking in with head of Dinage. I agree right

558
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:13,440
there at seven.

559
00:27:13,759 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 3: Speaking of other rankings and ratings, the AP pole, right

560
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,559
what's the high and the low of the AP pole.

561
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,960
BYU's low ranking is actually ten in the AP pole

562
00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:28,240
right now, bus high is four. Most of them sitting

563
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:30,960
in that that eight to ten mark, though, and BYU

564
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:36,680
shows up right there add number eight. So look, I

565
00:27:36,759 --> 00:27:39,519
don't know if the College Football Playoff Commitee is going

566
00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:45,279
to give BYU a seven seed to unfurl their initial rankings.

567
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,519
But they deserve it in my opinion, No if sands

568
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:56,599
or butts about it, and it's it's one of those games.

569
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:03,720
It's one of those those PR games that you really

570
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:08,000
want to see more credence to the Big given to

571
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:13,039
the Big twelve brand, right is BYU the iconic premiere

572
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,920
brand of the Big Twelve. I don't think anyone's really

573
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,079
accepted that yet. Here at two and a half seasons

574
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:27,759
in the new, rebranded, remodel restructured Big Twelve, Texas and

575
00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:33,400
Oklahoma had you know, the PR game figured out, they

576
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,000
had the resources, they had all the hypes surrounding them,

577
00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:40,279
even though Texas fell flat, I would say, since you

578
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:43,359
know post two thousand and seven, you know now with

579
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:44,960
Sark at the Helm, they're doing a whole lot better

580
00:28:45,079 --> 00:28:47,440
with their SEC brand, etc. I don't know if it's

581
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,440
a whole lot better, but I think they're doing better overall.

582
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,319
But Ronald, what do you got for me? I know

583
00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:54,920
you wanted to chime in on a few more things.

584
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think just tell Bou's case of why they

585
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,160
should be seven. But I mean they'll definitely be in

586
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,160
the top ten. But they shouldn't be lower than the eight.

587
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,519
But here's the reason why. When you look at, yeah,

588
00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:07,319
the college Football Power Index, Yeah, BYU is in the top,

589
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,200
you know, fifteen. But when you look at resume, and

590
00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:10,960
that's what we go off of, right, Ben, we always

591
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,279
talk about resume. People want to say, well the conference

592
00:29:13,319 --> 00:29:16,759
in the resume. Well, here's the resume per ESPN, the

593
00:29:16,839 --> 00:29:18,880
home and the home the big dogs. What we look

594
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,359
at number four? Who are they behind Texas A and

595
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:24,640
m Indiana Ohio State ba US number four, it's Gordon resume.

596
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,319
This Gordon resume to the college Football Power Index ba

597
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,799
used resume is better. That has to be taken into account. Efficiency. Well,

598
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,599
let's look at efficiency too, Ben, who's above them? Indiana

599
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,559
Ohio State, Texas Tech orgon rightfully? So then right after

600
00:29:37,599 --> 00:29:39,519
that BYU who is above Utah?

601
00:29:39,759 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: Who?

602
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,279
Speaker 4: By the way, vegas betting on all of these things.

603
00:29:42,319 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 5: I know, Josh pay cost some heat, but it's per

604
00:29:44,079 --> 00:29:46,519
vegas the betting odds of a neutral site said Utah

605
00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:49,640
would be BYU again or would win BAUS ahead of that.

606
00:29:49,799 --> 00:29:52,039
So I just want to bring up these metrics, bring

607
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,880
up these numbers of Look, you can as a committee

608
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,240
do what fits your narrative, fits your agenda. If you're

609
00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:01,640
gonna say, resume matters, efficiency matters, opponents matter, conference matters.

610
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,119
BYU has data that backs it up. Now go out

611
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,319
there and take care of business and stand on it.

612
00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 3: ESPN FPI rankings BYU fourteen Texas Tech eleventh. Just to

613
00:30:13,079 --> 00:30:15,880
kind of give a little big twelve thing here with

614
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,079

BYU forty six, Texas Tech actually has a worse strength

617
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,720
of schedule than BYU up to this point. Fifty eight.

618
00:30:32,839 --> 00:30:35,839
Now for Texas Tech. Get the lines at nine and

619
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,240

whatever it is, he's going to give you a discount.

669
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,559
When you mentioned myself or esp and the Fan, Ryan

670
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,519
Eldridge is the best in the business. He's been aiding

671
00:33:23,559 --> 00:33:26,160
and supporting the BAU student athletes for a long time.

672
00:33:26,599 --> 00:33:29,799
Now he wants to support you and your car health.

673
00:33:30,359 --> 00:33:32,720
So he's going to take care of you. Mentioned myself

674
00:33:32,759 --> 00:33:34,319
for ESPN the Fan. When you head into big OD

675
00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:38,720
tires in American Fork today, shout out to Ryder Lyons.

676
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:43,000
He's taking his talents to the missionary field. He's been

677
00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:48,720
called to serve to the Florida Orlando Spanish speaking mission

678
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,880
for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.

679
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:58,200
I believe on the current roster there's fifty plus maybe

680
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,759
fifty six players on the roster right now, about half

681
00:34:01,799 --> 00:34:05,400
of the team that have served missions for the church.

682
00:34:06,839 --> 00:34:11,639
I think ten languages are spoken in that locker room

683
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,679
besides English. Pretty crazy, and Lions is going to be

684
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:23,840
bilingual when he comes back. Okay, now how long will

685
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,519
he be out? Well, it could be a year to

686
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:28,440
two years. His brother served a year.

687
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: And then came back.

688
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,039
Speaker 3: He's been playing for UC Okay, So could be out

689
00:34:35,039 --> 00:34:36,960
a year, could be out eighteen months. We'll see how

690
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,480
it plays out. I imagine he'll be leaving on his

691
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:43,559
mission after the high school football season. And by the way,

692
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:47,920
he's been bawling out this season for Folsom, accruing some

693
00:34:48,039 --> 00:34:51,320
pretty impressive stats. They only have one loss on the season,

694
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,719
one loss, two four sixty eight yards through the air,

695
00:34:57,119 --> 00:34:59,400
one hundred and eighty completions on two hundred and thirty

696
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,159
five attempts a it's to seventy six percent completion percentage,

697
00:35:03,199 --> 00:35:06,480
and he's got twenty four touchdowns and six iron t's

698
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:09,639
on the air. He also's run the ball effectively when needed.

699
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: Shout out to him.

700
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: He's got seven rushing touchdowns. The product out of Folsom,

701
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,159
the five star Rider Lions.

702
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:18,599
Speaker 2: What do you got for me? Ronald the three man Weaver?

703
00:35:19,079 --> 00:35:22,039
Speaker 5: I mean, shout out to Natalie Miller. She's a part

704
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:25,400
of the USC football communication student assistant. She wrote this

705
00:35:25,559 --> 00:35:29,039
article been two months ago, just about almost to the date,

706
00:35:29,119 --> 00:35:33,239
it was September sixth, talking about how when USC defeated

707
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,199
Texas A and M in the twenty twenty four Las

708
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,760
Vegas ball that Walker Lyons, you know, was able to

709
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,480
meet up with the Aggies tight end and say good

710
00:35:40,559 --> 00:35:43,360
game in Swedish, you know, to his opponent, and then

711
00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:45,400
he learned how to speak Norwegian. On his eighteen to

712
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,480
my mission with the Church of Jesus Christ, I thought

713
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,519
it was on like, you know, thirteen or fourteen. I

714
00:35:49,559 --> 00:35:51,800
didn't know it was eighteen. So I'm wondering, like, what

715
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,440
would Wryter even consider that, you know, when would he

716
00:35:54,559 --> 00:35:57,480
get back, you know, and all of that.

717
00:35:57,599 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 4: Because Bear's going to be a junior.

718
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,199
Speaker 5: I bring this up, ben of I think you know,

719
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,360
writer probably would read share right, and this is just

720
00:36:03,519 --> 00:36:05,800
us taking a guess. But this would be Bear's junior

721
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,800
year if I'm correcting me if I'm wrong, probably his

722
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,039
last year before maybe he would declare to go to

723
00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:12,480
the league if you know, he didn't get injured. So

724
00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:15,280
this is interesting of timing because a big brother served

725
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,880
eighteen months, what would little brother do?

726
00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 3: Very well, could be on the mission field for eighteen months,

727
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:28,159
but that would put him eighteen months from from January

728
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,320
he'd be coming in and unless he's working out, which

729
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,000
he could be in Orlando. I do always recommend, you know,

730
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,440
making sure you take care of your mind, body and soul,

731
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,880
your spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical well being when out

732
00:36:44,039 --> 00:36:46,559
serving a mission. I don't think I did a good

733
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:48,320
enough job of working out. I should have worked out

734
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,920
and taking care of my body a little bit more.

735
00:36:50,079 --> 00:36:52,199
I always thought it was sinful to engage in it.

736
00:36:52,559 --> 00:36:54,519
Speaker 2: The schedule was also different for us. Yeah, it was

737
00:36:54,559 --> 00:36:55,000
way different.

738
00:36:55,119 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 5: No, I didn't get to approve it until about I

739
00:36:57,039 --> 00:36:59,400
think seventeen months into my mission. Where you could do

740
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,159
everything in the morning how you wanted to be. It

741
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,760
was strict for us. So it's definitely different for these

742
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:04,679
kids going out now, no.

743
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 3: Doubt, no doubt. So he could be working out, throwing

744
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:11,880
the pick skin around a little bit. They're in Orlando, Florida, Orlando.

745
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:17,559
Shout out to Ryder getting the mission call and and

746
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,079
and being willing to serve UH for as long as

747
00:37:21,159 --> 00:37:23,360
he is he deems necessary. UH.

748
00:37:23,519 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 2: If you are called UH, if you have desires to

749
00:37:26,639 --> 00:37:28,639
serve God, you are called to the work. That's what

750
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:29,559
DMC says.

751
00:37:29,599 --> 00:37:34,079
Speaker 3: It doesn't necessarily say specifically the amount of time, but

752
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,280
if you have desire to serve God, you're called to

753
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,800
the work head on out there and thrusting your sickle

754
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:39,400
with your mic.

755
00:37:39,639 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: What do you got for me?

756
00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 5: Look, I want to jump ahead. We got to focus

757
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,000
on this season because it's magical. But could you imagine

758
00:37:45,039 --> 00:37:48,440
Ben Rider Lions in Orlando and then by you go

759
00:37:48,559 --> 00:37:51,239
to the Pop Tarts Bowl next season? Would Rider Lions

760
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,519
be allowed to come to a b YU versus whatever

761
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:55,719
port of Pop Tarts Bowl?

762
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 4: Never twenty six season?

763
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 3: Hey, if we want to go to a CFP, we're

764
00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:02,800
setting our sites higher. The bar has been raised, Ronnie.

765
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,519
Once we get to a CFP, that's all Kugarnation is

766
00:38:06,519 --> 00:38:07,360
gonna w I agree with you.

767
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 4: Once that happens is over, you wonder how.

768
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 3: Many like so once you've gone to the CFP, Like

769
00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:14,880
I see all these fans, I see all the donors

770
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:20,599
of these respective schools, Penn State, Florida, LSU uh, and

771
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,320
you just go down the line Auburn and they're firing

772
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:32,199
their coach because ultimately they're not going to a CFP.

773
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,360
You don't go to CFP. Kirk kurb Street went off

774
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:41,719
on this during a College Game Day segment last week.

775
00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:44,280
To play that sound, yeah, and I kind of want

776
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,239
to play it because I think it hits home here

777
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:52,079
because and I wonder, like how much success would BYU

778
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:57,159
football have to have consistently over the next you know,

779
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,039
expansive of time.

780
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, five years, ten years, maybe you.

781
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,159
Speaker 3: Go to the college football Playoff two, three, four years

782
00:39:04,199 --> 00:39:07,480
out of those and then all of a sudden when

783
00:39:07,519 --> 00:39:10,440
you don't make it, or you're just bowl eligible, right

784
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,280
you're seven and six, or you know, you're six and six,

785
00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:18,239
seven and five, eight and four. You know, with bo Fense, maan, hey,

786
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,480
we gotta get rid of this coach. We gotta get

787
00:39:20,519 --> 00:39:23,760
rid of Killanie. We gotta move on. We're not winning. Like,

788
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,920
I don't think our fan base is that way. I

789
00:39:26,039 --> 00:39:30,239
still think quota is eight wins, and I think our

790
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:35,760
quota will in the regular season eight win regular season quota,

791
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,639
you know, with an opportunity to go to a bowl game,

792
00:39:39,679 --> 00:39:41,119
it has to be an eight and four seat if

793
00:39:41,159 --> 00:39:43,400
it's if it's seven and five and you get to

794
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,000
eight and five, like now, you fans like, it's not

795
00:39:46,119 --> 00:39:50,039
quota eight eight wins in the regular season eight and four,

796
00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:51,360
and then you go to a bill gam you lose

797
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,679
and you're eight five, Like, Okay, that's quota. Does that

798
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,280
make sense? Like, you know, that's the psychology I think

799
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,760
of our fan base. So eight wins are still the quota.

800
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,519
I wonder if in the not so distant future will

801
00:40:03,559 --> 00:40:09,199
be akin to LSU Auburn Penn State where we go

802
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,880
to a CFP and then the following year, you know,

803
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,360
we lose three straight or something like that. Right, we're

804
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,320
firing James Franklin, We're firing people.

805
00:40:18,679 --> 00:40:20,039
Speaker 2: I wonder, man, I.

806
00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 5: Mean, look, I hope that's not US athletic directors don't

807
00:40:25,079 --> 00:40:26,840
I shouldn't say they don't run anything, because they do

808
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,000
because they get the donors. But the donors are the

809
00:40:29,079 --> 00:40:30,119
faces that run the place.

810
00:40:30,159 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 4: They pay, right.

811
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 5: I mean not to talk about our brother up North,

812
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,199
but I feel like the coaching basketball did well. What

813
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,159
happens what I heard, you know, some of the donors

814
00:40:38,199 --> 00:40:39,400
didn't want them. At the end of the day, that's

815
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,199
who runs the place. But if very well could be

816
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,079
if Klane gets the CFP beIN. And I think it

817
00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:45,719
has to be this right, because if you're getting to

818
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,239
the College Football Playoff every year been but you're not

819
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,920
winning the title game, I think those are two different

820
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,519
things because that's harder to do is to get to

821
00:40:53,599 --> 00:40:55,480
the CFP but not win the title game.

822
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:56,559
Speaker 4: I think you have to both.

823
00:40:56,599 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 5: If Kline's winning the Big twelve title getting to a

824
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,079
CFP and the not advance, I think that will put

825
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:03,320
it up because if you're getting this D eleven to

826
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,880
the twelve team, man, you're not hosting a game. You

827
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,880
haven't elevated that because I look at Okay, you can

828
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,719
get to the College Football Playoff, but did you host

829
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:10,800
a game where you a higher seed?

830
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 4: Did you win the title game? That also matters. So

831
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,280
that is for a discussion.

832
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 5: But I think if Kilania is winning Big Soel wins

833
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,960
the Big Sel Championship goes to the College Football Playoffs,

834
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:21,280
yes that's going to be the standard.

835
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,119
Speaker 4: You know how I am with that?

836
00:41:23,039 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm intrigued.

837
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 3: Going back to the mission call from Ryderrans heading out

838
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,639
to Orlando, Florida, Spanish speaking, just real quick, there are

839
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,760
many head that have served missions right for this BYU

840
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:36,880
Cougar football team.

841
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 2: Many of them are Spanish speakers too.

842
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 3: Shout out to all the Spanish speakers, some oversee some

843
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:47,239
state side. I served state side Spanish speaker. Was a

844
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,480
fantastic mission. So Ryder gets the best of both worlds.

845
00:41:52,039 --> 00:41:56,079
I'll be honest, like double duty, baby. I really think

846
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,440
like serving state side Spanish is the best.

847
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:01,679
Speaker 8: I mean.

848
00:42:03,639 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 3: There are some negatives, right you, like if you're not

849
00:42:06,199 --> 00:42:12,760
in a highly like like Spanish community, like meaning you're

850
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,960
having to forcefully speak it, like you're not getting yeah yeah,

851
00:42:17,039 --> 00:42:19,880
and like integrate into the culture, like it could be

852
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,800
a little rough and you may come back speaking Spanglish, right, Like,

853
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,440
there's definitely that issue, and you're like you never feel

854
00:42:25,519 --> 00:42:27,960
like you really learned it and all those things because

855
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,039
you're not completely enveloped in it. You're not completely just bodying,

856
00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:34,119
you know, completely into it. You're having to speak English

857
00:42:34,119 --> 00:42:37,000
a lot of the time. But I think I think

858
00:42:37,039 --> 00:42:38,840
he's gonna be able to speak it a lot, and

859
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,719
he may have to translate. I had to translate on

860
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,679
my mission and a few of my wards, you know,

861
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,239
they were attending essentially an English ward, and I would

862
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,800
translate into Spanish every once in a while. You'd have

863
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,159
that help me learn Spanish a little bit better. Anyway,

864
00:42:53,679 --> 00:42:55,719
best of both worlds, learn a language and stay in

865
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:56,239
the States.

866
00:42:56,559 --> 00:42:58,039
Speaker 4: You still use it to us see all the time.

867
00:42:58,119 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: You're still yeah orthropros.

868
00:42:59,559 --> 00:43:02,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do a lot over that orthropros for for

869
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,480
all of our Spanish speakers here the state of ut

870
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,000
We take care of him, no doubt. But yeah, over

871
00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:12,199
fifty return missionaries on this bayu cougar roster real quick though, Okay,

872
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:13,400
because we got to go to break.

873
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,519
Speaker 2: I do want to get to this now.

874
00:43:14,599 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 3: I wonder if there's a time in the not so distance, fute,

875
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:26,079
not so distant future that BYU okay, they they they

876
00:43:26,199 --> 00:43:30,639
become so successful as a power for institution, buoyed up

877
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:36,440
by fantastic donors, a fantastic fan base that's willing to

878
00:43:36,519 --> 00:43:43,519
invest in nil and also great coaches, writing, great retention,

879
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,000
a great organizational design, and a great culture.

880
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:47,079
Speaker 2: If we.

881
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,599
Speaker 3: In the next five to ten years would be would

882
00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:53,760
be having a knee jerk reaction akin to what Kirk

883
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,519
Herbstreet is describing here. Listen, and this was from College

884
00:43:56,559 --> 00:43:59,719
Game Day last week, discussing all the firings, all the

885
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:04,599
missiles of these high level coaches at high level programs.

886
00:44:05,039 --> 00:44:07,639
Speaker 10: Well, this where you still have expectations. But if you

887
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,000
go to LSU, you don't make the playoff, you're fired.

888
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,320
You go to Ohio State, you don't make a playoff.

889
00:44:12,039 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 6: You're fired.

890
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 10: You go to Alabama, you don't make a play.

891
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

892
00:44:14,519 --> 00:44:17,599
Speaker 10: Maybe that it's kind of like college basketball. Kunzaga saved

893
00:44:17,639 --> 00:44:21,159
your Butler, University of Maybe those are the places to

894
00:44:21,199 --> 00:44:22,519
be instead of Kansas.

895
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,159
Speaker 2: Duke, you know, North Carolina.

896
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 3: So I think BYU is ten years away from being

897
00:44:28,519 --> 00:44:32,079
spoiled rotten to the to the point where you're like, okay,

898
00:44:32,159 --> 00:44:32,920
we got a fire coach.

899
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,159
Speaker 2: If we're not going to a place, I.

900
00:44:34,199 --> 00:44:35,679
Speaker 4: Agree, five years is too short of data.

901
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it, but I can see it happening absolutely. Quota.

902
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,159
Speaker 3: Quota always moves up in in in the business world.

903
00:44:43,639 --> 00:44:46,320
You want to always elevated. The bar is always elevated.

904
00:44:46,599 --> 00:44:48,800
When once you've won, once you've been there, once you've

905
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,039
experienced the sucker of victory.

906
00:44:53,599 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 2: It's it's delicious.

907
00:44:55,159 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 4: Let's be honest.

908
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 5: Let's say that in the next ten years, twenty thirty five, men,

909
00:44:58,639 --> 00:45:00,280
we both are still around. We're still young. Right, you

910
00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:02,760
look a day over twenty five, you and I both

911
00:45:03,119 --> 00:45:06,360
see BYU go to the CFP five times. I think

912
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:07,880
you could see it. I mean, for crying out loud,

913
00:45:08,159 --> 00:45:11,079
James Franklin is not at Penn State. Ben I remember

914
00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:14,320
him as a kid, gotch a younger. I remember that,

915
00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:17,280
and he's not there, Like that's crazy to think about

916
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,880
James Franklin not at Penn State. I mean, it doesn't

917
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,639
get better than that. But every fan base gets greedy,

918
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,800
even BYU fans do to a degree. I think you

919
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,280
even see a little bit of a dabble here, but

920
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,199
I agree. I think in the next ten years span

921
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,159
you could see it happening to BYU because no one

922
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,880
is immune been too succumbing.

923
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 4: To, you know, being a little bit greedy. We all do.

924
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,400
That's why it's a commandment, don't be greedy, don't cover it.

925
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 3: Let's go to break great segment and it was brought
