Speaker 2: Elevate your suit game today at Odeon Men's Wear, a

you will love the Elevate suit.
Speaker 3: Try it on multiple color ways. It looks like a
traditional suit, it.

It really like it's it's it's even better than it
actually great range promotion. I can hi knee, I can

Speaker 3: Let's get out to the hotline.
Speaker 2: Welcome in my guy Bradon Day, CEO of Odeon Men's Wear, Braidon.
Speaker 4: How you living, bro doing awf and how you doing man.
Speaker 3: Doing great, doing grand doing wonderful?
Speaker 2: Uh? Real quick, give us some of the deals we
have going on in store for all of our listeners.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so right now we have in our arms store
still running our class up. It's getting smaller by the day.
So if you're in that, especially if you're in like
kind of a popular size range, you're gonna want to
come in soon if you want to get some of
those really really cheap not cheap, sorry, really good stuff,
really good deals on some of that product we have
overstock on because we're super low there. And then obviously
we're always trying to keep prices competitive. But the Elevate
suit like Ben always tellts it. Really, it's one of
those things that I always tell people, if you're not
willing to buy the suit, don't try it on, because
you'll have a really hard time not buying it after
you try it on.
Speaker 3: Love that.
Speaker 2: Let's talk some BYU football here for a moment. The
the rent I've told everyone, Look, the retention is what
you should be excited about. B YU has yet to
sign a transfer portal player. I don't know if that
concerns you at all. I put out my poll of
the day, I said, are you more anxiety filled about
BYU not announcing their new coaching staff, who they've retained
on the coaching staff, who's going to be DC, who's
going to be quarterbacks coach, who's gonna be safety coach,
all those things, special teams coordinator? What's going on in
that regard? Or you're more concerned that BA hasn't signed
anyone in the.
Speaker 4: Portal right the second neither. I'm not super concerned. No,
if it goes on much longer, I'll be a little nervous.
I think something that I've noticed, and maybe it's just
that I'm reading into it too much, but I feel
like fans are getting nervous because the portal windows a
certain amount of days. I think what they're misunderstanding is
that once that's the days that people can enter the portal,
that's not when they have to decide by. And so
I don't think we need to get too crazy about
the portal. I think there are guys that are committed
and ready to go. They're just trying to make sure
get you across all the t's not all the eyes,
get all that stuff going. So I'm not super super
worried if it went on a few more days. Maybe
a little bit. And then on the coach's side, BAU
has always been slow in that process. I you know,
they're rumors swirling out there of who who it's going
to be, and I think there's most of the decisions
are made and there's probably a couple of the external
hires are still having to get some of the you know,
the red tape taken care of for that, and so
they're just waiting to do the whole announcement until they
have everybody ready. That's but I'm guessing inside the building
when they're doing the recruiting for transfer portal all of
this stuff, I'm guessing they kind of already have at
all setting Stone and they're just there's waiting at some
of the red tape.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, it's an interesting thing going on right now,
this new world, this college football, chaotic transfer portal world.
But I told Kugarnation earlier today, be of good cheer,
lots of great retention stories here. Out of the individuals
that have announced that they're coming back, they're running it back,
which one makes you most joyous? Is it Parker Kingston?
Is it Ray Alexander? Is it New c tom Waypeo?
Is it Fala Taos not Tawala Rater de Moony, Andrew
Jamesry Canada, Talla Vasa, Sialia Sarah Anissi Purcell, Bruce Mitchell,
Kyle super Choke, Sonny Makassini, Isaiah glasger can Allow, Pondohema
Villiami Puha or Joe Vessa Damuni.
Speaker 4: I think it has the Fallatow for me. Not that
I don't. There's so many others that I loved as
players just as much as I love Fallatown. But I think,
and I was definitely one of those who thought as
soon as Jade you know, was rumored of going, Falatawe
was the one guy that I was like, there's no
matter what, he's the one guy we're gonna lose to
j Hill just because he was a J Hill guy.
Jay Hill did all the recruiting back in the day.
He actually announced and I remember we were up at
the Bountiful Store way back on signy Day for that.
But that was one of those things that I felt
like Fallatow was the was the one I thought was leading.
So having him back is awesome. But I do think
all of them are important. I think like guys like
Nucy are really huge with that. I think having Isaac
Glaster coming back are really big deals. A ton of
USA honestly, all of that. I mean, there's a few
of them that I don't think it would be to
the end of the world that they left, but I
obviously wanted them back. But I think Fala Tel is
the one that I was most surprised by and most
pumped about.
Speaker 3: Big get, big retention story.
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. Brandon Gurney stated something yesterday. He said,
this twenty twenty six roster is going to be better
than the twenty twenty five roster.
Speaker 3: Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
Speaker 4: I think I agree we didn't lose crazy amounts in graduation.
I think we're gonna add some of the portal. Obviously,
that's that's going off of rumors and going off some
of that stuff. But we're want to add things in
the portal, and I think a lot of our youth
will obviously mature and be even better next year. So
I think I think Chase Roberts is one hole that
you really get nervous about making sure we can get
a receiver that can fill in there. But I'm hoping
that in the portal we feel that I think if
LJ comes I'm kind of assuming LJ is coming back,
So if he doesn't come back, then I think that
really hurts the roster over like overall to back up
Gurney's stuff. But I think if you can get a
guy with Chase, LJ comes back, obviously Barrett comes back,
and then I think the defense is going to reload
with some of the the guys that we're hearing are
you know a lot of the linebackers that we're hearing
about that that are gonna be coming to us in
the portal. You lose Carson Ryan, but then you know
there's a lot of smoke behind lions coming in and
being in that spot. So I really think, I really
think he's right. I'm pumped about it.
Speaker 2: Yes, Indeed, it's a great day to be a Cougar.
Lots of great players coming back to b YU, the
one that well, I guess you know, Bear hasn't made
his official announcement, LJ hasn't made his official announcement. Any
concern there from your perch, No.
Speaker 4: I think, I mean, just based off what's happening, you know,
it would make sense that they're announcing it when they
strike into nil deal or a REP share deal and
the ones who have the highest leverage or LJ and Bear,
and so I think there's probably the most amount of
what's the right word, there's the most amount of negotiation
needing to happen there all this stuff going on with that.
So I don't think it's crazy that those are the
you know later ones that are getting announced. So I
don't think it's crazy. I'm not too worried yet if
all of a sudden, I mean, I think it's far
enough into the portal time that Bear would have announced
he's going to the portal by now. In my opinion,
I think LJ. Obviously the draft stuff doesn't doesn't have
to be decided right now, so that one's a little
more up in the air. But I, you know, I
think he's coming back.
Speaker 3: So brighton.
Speaker 2: Uh this uh, this BYU football team had a remarkable
season twelve and two, only lost to Texas Tech, Texas Tech,
Laiden Egg and the College Football Playoff.
Speaker 3: Maybe that Dowass extinguishes.
Speaker 2: Some of the uh, the hype to a degree surrounding
this BA football team.
Speaker 3: But all time, it's got to be a top ten season.
Speaker 2: This may be a top five season all time in
BA football history.
Speaker 3: How do you see it?
Speaker 4: I think it's one top five, I say top two. Truthfully,
I think I wasn't alive for the well, I was
alive for the ninety six season, but I was two,
and then the eighty four year, obviously I wasn't alive.
But I think those are the other two that it's
competing against. But I think the competition they're playing, I mean, yes,
obviously national championship, you have to say that's the best year.
But I think that team against the exacting competition end
up with as good a record. I don't know, I'm
not saying it doesn't, but I'm not saying it does,
and so I think I think it's definitely gonna be
a top five, but I would put it in the
top three, top two or three.
Speaker 2: So Britain Day Here a little college football segment brought
to you by Odeon Men'swear Odeon Men'swear dot Com. Smith
Note he took an on campus recruiting visit. The former
four star defensive bag multi year starter now at the
University of Utah. He's officially in the portal taking a
game or taking a long hard look at these schools
that are evaluating in Oregon, Michigan, many others in the mix.
BYU giving it its best shot in this situation, what's
the level of optimism do you think BYU obtains the
talents of one smith Note and then they keep them
home in the state of Utah.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I have an exact number on it.
I think I hope. I'm very hopeful that it happens,
you know, third times, the charm we've tried to there's
been rumors that we've been trying to get him out
of the portal, get him into the portal, to then
get him out of the portal. Over the last couple
of years. But I do think obviously with the Whittingham
and Michigan thing, I would just off the top of
my head say that's probably the number one spot. But
I think we have a shot. I think we can.
Obviously there's some there's some things about being close to home,
doing all those different things. I think there's some pitches
that we can come after him and hopefully get him.
But I wouldn't say I would say probably less than
a fifty percent chance. But I do think we're number
two in likelihood of getting him.
Speaker 3: Where do you stand?
Speaker 2: Who's your projected defensive coordinator, cornerbacks coach and safety's coach
right now at b YU.
Speaker 4: I think the the rumor that I'm here and all
you know all over town is that Pepinga Colla the
thing is going to be the DC. I've heard lots
of different names tossed out there from or cornerbacks coach.
I think the Boise State coach. I think Warren is
his last name, is the one that I've probably heard
the most about. And then I've heard a ton of
smoke about Gavin Fowler being the coach. But he keeps there,
keeps being posted about him the safety coach. Sorry, and
but I keep seeing posted about him recruiting actively for
Weaver So I have no idea what that means. Maybe
he's waiting until he gets announced and then he's gonna, you know,
move on from that, or if it's just not the
rumor's not true. But that's where I'm kind of leaning
in what I've heard so far.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could see that happening.
Speaker 2: They're I've seen Weaber State on the recruiting trail offering
out a number of scholarships. And I know Tanner Jacobson
was just acquired by Weber State as well. Eric Carrer
building a powerhouse there in Ogden. A good staff that
he's he's building out there in Ogden.
Speaker 3: What do you make of it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a great staff. I mean, obviously
there's there's a lot of unproven he's he's unproven that level.
He's obviously very proven at the high school level. I
think getting Tanner Jacobson was huge just for the success
he's had as being a head coach at the A
D two level. I kept trying to remember if Tanna
was a SCS it was junior coy j oh Yeah, Hugo. Yeah,
but still I think that's awesome to somebody who's been
a head man there get him on staff. I think
obviously guys like Gavin who again they're smoke that he's
coming to Bau. Who knows what that actually is going
to look like. But I think the stuff I think
Garrett care is gonna be really good for that, for
that for Weaber, and I think, I mean, it'd be
really cool if we can keep developing. We've we we
talked about it last week or two weeks ago on
the on the show that a ton of our talent
and production over the last few years has come from
Weaver State. So I think having good ties and good
and BYU guys there at Weaber would be really huge
for us to be able to continue to hopefully pull
some of that talent in as they developed there at Weber.
So love it.
Speaker 2: Man, Well, I feel pretty optimistic about this BYU football
team going into twenty twenty six and beyond. What are
your priority positions in the portal right now as we
head into this, uh, this chaotic time of the year.
Speaker 4: Before I answer that, sorry, I gotta go back. Do
you feel as optimistic as I feel? Is the real
question for you here, Ben, No.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I'm never like, uh, we're gonna go undefeated,
Brady's Uh.
Speaker 3: I feed here.
Speaker 2: I'm optimistic. I'm a positive person. I'm a glass afffle guy.
But you're like glasses already full and overflow it. Uh
And I'm more like glass apffle guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I just had to. I just had to
bring it up because I love to teach you about that.
You've been most of the time you're right, But the
last two years I keep going with that, and I
keep being right out of those two So I'm just
gonna right to me until it until it comes to
bite me. But some day they'll come back to bite me,
I'm sure.
Speaker 3: So yeah, no doubt about it. Uh.
Speaker 2: Well, Braydon always appreciate our time together. Love talking ball
with you. One last time, for all of our listeners,
why should they come into Odeon Men'swear and uh and
check out all of the things that you guys have
going on there.
Speaker 4: Because we put so much effort and so much of
our focus is on helping people, you know, achieve what
they're doing. So a lot of times when you're buying
a suit, you're buying it for an event, So some
type of life life event, whether it be marriage, whether
it be a prom, whether it be mission, whether it
be a job interview, any of the different reasons why
you need you need a new suit. You're wanting to perform,
you wanted to look good, you want to feel good,
and we believe if you have those two elements that
you will perform in whatever way it is that you're
needing to for that day. And I really believe that
that our products do that. They look amazing, but they
also feel amazing, so then you can go do amazing
in those different things. And the Elevate suit is obviously
the one that we talk about a lot, and then
the Tempo shirt. Those are the two products that we
actually make ourselves, and those products one hundred percent deliver
on that promise of look good, feel good, do good,
love it.

on it. Coming up next, don't miss it. This is
