00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 2>they you know, what the hell? Just another day?

21
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 4>I think basketball there definitely is a buzz football. You

22
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 4>could you could tell, you can tell there's a buzz

23
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 4>for basketball football. Maybe towards the end the last season,

24
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 4>I felt a little buzz, But so far this season,

25
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 4>I never really what do.

26
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 2>You what would be the buzz? What's the buzz mean?

27
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 4>Just like people actually caring, like people shown up to

28
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.120
<v Speaker 4>the you know events, the game.

29
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, talk yeah, talk about it and do you feel

30
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>that now?

31
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 4>I feel more than I've felt it my past couple

32
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 4>of years. It's still not that much compared to the basketball.

33
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.040
<v Speaker 4>Like last game, I didn't feel it like last did

34
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 4>you go? I didn't go to the game, but I

35
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.519
<v Speaker 4>was on campus and I didn't like he went right, Yeah,

36
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 4>I was at the game.

37
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 2>It was last week different than the previous weeks.

38
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 4>Just I think the most buzz I felt this year

39
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 4>was New Mexico game, just because it.

40
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Was a good crowd. You guys were rocking and rolling

41
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 2>with the with the zoo and we'll see I mean

42
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 2>the Colorado game sold out? Right? Oh yeah? So but

43
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>is it more for Arizona's sake or is it for

44
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the curiosity of Colorado? Both? Both? You know, I guess

45
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't hurt, right, it doesn't. Yeah, fill to fill

46
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>the house and if they if Arizona wins, they have

47
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of talk. You know, they'd be Dean again.

48
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah. But we don't know, we don't know.

49
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>I think you've already made a prediction. What did you think?

50
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 4>You know?

51
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 3>I think Colorado is gonna beat us, for sure, because

52
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 3>just talent wise, they have more talent. You know, let's go,

53
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 3>let's go one game at a time now and I'm

54
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 3>calling it Travis going for one.

55
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Hundred, so he's gonna have a better game than t

56
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Mac for sure, for sure, Henry, what a debate, This

57
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 2>could be a debate show. We can wait till next week.

58
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 2>We got to you gotta get to this. And who knows.

59
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>I think the line has moved up to five and

60
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>a half at least that's where I saw thee Yeah,

61
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>five and a half so from four, so you know

62
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 2>what that means. People are picking you pretty heavily. I

63
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 2>think I would take the points though, five and a half,

64
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>because we've talked about it. We talked about it. When

65
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>you guys are here on Monday, when you don't expect

66
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 2>anything from Arizona, they show up, and if they're gonna

67
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>give you five and a half. Take the points. Yeah,

68
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>take the points. They win by six or who's by six?

69
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Right, So I've been on the slump, so you know.

70
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 2>When day when Jay's on a lot slump, which is

71
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>most months. I hate taking no advice from Jay, So

72
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I know you're kind of got down from so I'm

73
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 2>not listening to you. What is it? Did you see

74
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.120

<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

77
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I think it's about five and five and a half,

78
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 2>which is is uh more points to take. We'll see

<v Speaker 2>good dude. Uh another good stup said, Sukes, why why

93
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>why am I blan? You gonna tell you're going and

94
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 2>tell me something.

95
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 3>You'll remember freshman year, at least my freshman year, Stukes

96
00:04:58.199 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 3>was you know, he.

97
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Was a he was a number two pencil dude. Yeah

98
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>he was. But so you have that impression of him

99
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 2>now even now he's got better. Now he's got he's

100
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.279
<v Speaker 2>gotten better. I think obviously when we've talked to you,

101
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.480
<v Speaker 2>when you first shrilled up here, you don't think Davis

102
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>is a first round draft and people are talking that,

103
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>yeah what what what? What do you see that?

104
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, it's just whenever it goes like like, for example,

105
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 3>that Utah game, Yeah we beat him, but their number

106
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.959
<v Speaker 3>one receiver went for like one hundred plus yards and

107
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.639
<v Speaker 3>what was this thing he used to play here? Yeah,

108
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 3>singer he went to Yeah he went for over one hundred.

109
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 3>So like, to me, a first round dB should I

110
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 3>mean take that away. Davis did win the Big twelve

111
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Defensive Player of the Week that week. I think it's

112
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 3>his biggest issue is he gets beat deep.

113
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 4>That's sometimes TV though, Can you allow that? Yeah, that's

114
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 4>what he's got to fix.

115
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 2>But now he's good. Though.

116
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking I'm not talking

117
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 3>to this. I'm not trying to downplay the kid. You know,

118
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 3>I pray that he guess all that he's earned. But

119
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 3>when I heard first round, I was like, whoa, Well, yeah, to.

120
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Me, it's the stretch too, And and I know, I

121
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 2>know he's he's the good gut. They have good body size,

122
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>tall and thin. But I still think you need to

123
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:09.279
<v Speaker 2>be right.

124
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 3>And even even when you were watching them last game,

125
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 3>the commentators were saying he was a first round pick too.

126
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 3>I heard with Davis, right, yeah, with David and Stukes.

127
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 3>To me, and I remember what you're talking about three

128
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.519
<v Speaker 3>years ago, very thin almost like what are you doing right?

129
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 3>If I want to big play was happening like it

130
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 3>was because he messed up or like got beat deep

131
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 3>or something.

132
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 2>But you're not the same dude.

133
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's definitely like he's definitely gotten better, but they're

134
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 3>playing him at the at the nickel position.

135
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's a it's working from him. Well, it's

136
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>going to be a big deal because you guys you

137
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 2>said yeah, Gunner and then you have Stukes. God, I

138
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.439
<v Speaker 2>can't remember why space that name, but I'm old. Uh

139
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 2>so those two dudes that they're lacking, But I guess

140
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Genesis can fit in pretty nicely there. Yeah, which is

141
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.079
<v Speaker 2>but if he was it was that good, he'd be starting,

142
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>that's yeah. Yeah, that's true. No fault. You know, I

143
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.240
<v Speaker 2>can't play the position, so who am I to talk about?

144
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.720
<v Speaker 2>But still, would you lose two starters, that's a big deal. Definitely, Yeah.

145
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 2>I guess the right team too. Yeah. So so we

146
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.160
<v Speaker 2>haven't talked. We talked about it, possible money, right, Are

147
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 2>they gonna win this week?

148
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we talked about a little you pick you picked

149
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.000
<v Speaker 4>them to win? I think I said I wouldn't be

150
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.240
<v Speaker 4>surprised that they win. Right now, I'd probably lean towards Arizona,

151
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 4>but just because it's based off yeah yeah, because of

152
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 4>how they they work.

153
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you're and you're right. I mean, I wouldn't

154
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:31.959
<v Speaker 2>fault you if you picked them because of that reason.

155
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I would take the points for that reason. Yeah. Well,

156
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I think Brian was saying that, like b Yu doesn't.

157
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.639
<v Speaker 4>Have the most explosive offense, so that's especially during the

158
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 4>day for whatever.

159
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they're bad during day games. Yeah, yeah, I

160
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you guys, I don't know if you

161
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 2>guys are trend players. I know you do dabble in

162
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.160
<v Speaker 2>the old DraftKings stuff, but you know I'm a trend players,

163
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.879
<v Speaker 2>but I'm a I'm a trend player. If I beat

164
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Henry ten straight times, Henry not due, right, I'm gonna

165
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.600
<v Speaker 2>bet them eleven times? Right? Yeah, that makes sense. So

166
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.399
<v Speaker 2>so we'll see what happens with a lot to talk about.

167
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Thanks guys, You guys are my co hosts, which is nice.

168
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Get some young guys who don't forget names like me too,

169
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 2>like Stukes. But let me tell you who the guests are. Today.

170
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Should be a fun show. I won't even ask you

171
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>about this. Do you guys know who Matt Meilblock is?

172
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Not in my research? Though he played basketball? Okay, yeah,

173
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>very good. Yeah, he was the winningest player here ever,

174
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.759
<v Speaker 2>never lost to McHale because that he was during the

175
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.159
<v Speaker 2>heyday of U A and and Mike and Mike and

176
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 2>loud Olsen. Uh So he never lost to McHale. U

177
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.519
<v Speaker 2>some other people surpassed him in terms of wins at McHale,

178
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not sure if that's officially official because those

179
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.360
<v Speaker 2>games were were removed when when Sewan got in trouble,

180
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's kind of iffy, but he had

181
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>he I think he wont like one hundred and seventeen games.

182
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 2>He might know what is uh from Kansas City. I

183
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 2>want to talk to him about just this year's basketball

184
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.559
<v Speaker 2>team and his hometown of the city. Who's killing it

185
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 2>with the Chiefs and with the with the Royals. So

186
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.120
<v Speaker 2>there's that. And he's a pre frequent guest too. Uh

187
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 2>he works for ESPN and all the stations doing doing games.

188
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>And then we're gonna in the second half, we're gonna

189
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.799
<v Speaker 2>talk to Rocky the Rose. She's one of the former

190
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:23.519
<v Speaker 2>former ads here. What did you call you? Deputy deputy?

191
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Which is great, could get deputy ads back in the

192
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 2>day with Cedric Dempsey and Greg Burn and all that.

193
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 2>But I wanted to touch her and we've talked her

194
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 2>about this before, all the craziness that's going on with

195
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, college athletics and yeah, no, great, great, I

196
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>want to touch her now about the national letter of intent.

197
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Now you know what now? I mean, come on, you

198
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.759
<v Speaker 2>guys are young enough to know uh uh kind of

199
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>the past, especially you, Matt. But but it's gone berserk.

200
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>It's gone bunkers. I feel bad for high school kids. Man,

201
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, you gonna sell. Well, let's just go ahead

202
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:03.600
<v Speaker 2>and you see the breaking news of that one, that

203
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.759
<v Speaker 2>only one. Yeah you know what did you get back?

204
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:12.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we got the NCAA approved elimination of national letter

205
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 4>of Intent program today.

206
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Now I don't, I don't, I don't even like

207
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.080
<v Speaker 3>what does that even mean? Like you can't, Okay, so

208
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.320
<v Speaker 3>once you commit, you don't have to sign a letter anymore. So,

209
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 3>like you could commit because.

210
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 2>You could get a bigger payday somewhere else. I guess,

211
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess they'll I don't think it's been finalized. There's

212
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.559
<v Speaker 2>a final hearing scheduleized for April next year, so that's

213
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 2>the one they'll determine whether it's final or not. But

214
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:38.279
<v Speaker 2>like you were saying, Matt, if you're a senior, what's

215
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:38.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen?

216
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:40.360
<v Speaker 3>So what I'm saying, like if you're if you're not

217
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.000
<v Speaker 3>even if you're not even ranked as a high schooler,

218
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.120
<v Speaker 3>like I'm sorry, you might have to go junior college

219
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 3>or so. I don't know, because the transfer portal, everyone's

220
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.320
<v Speaker 3>like coaches don't even need to go to high school. No,

221
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 3>more to get quality players that could just go into

222
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:54.000
<v Speaker 3>If you're not.

223
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.039
<v Speaker 2>A dude that's going to help you right away or

224
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 2>or right away after your first year or whatever, exactly,

225
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.799
<v Speaker 2>there's no need to talk you. We talked about this

226
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot because for the reason you just had transfer portal.

227
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:08.159
<v Speaker 2>If I'm going to go and get Matt at at

228
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Santa Barbara or wherever, you know, Fresno State and he's good, dude,

229
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:14.440
<v Speaker 2>why would I go after a senior in high school

230
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.399
<v Speaker 2>when I know my mad ass had experience, right and

231
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.639
<v Speaker 2>you've been through there, you've been through, have done that,

232
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 2>and you don't know what the high school kids get exactly.

233
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.759
<v Speaker 2>You got to develop them. Here's the other issue, the

234
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.840
<v Speaker 2>kid from the high school. And we talked about this

235
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 2>with JC guys they go to j C. Well, now

236
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.120
<v Speaker 2>we know that you're not good enough to play D

237
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.080
<v Speaker 2>one right away, So what use am I going to

238
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 2>do with hal for you in a year or so

239
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.399
<v Speaker 2>when you move up or try to move up. It's tough.

240
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 3>But junior college, you know, No, junior college to me

241
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 3>is always I feel like that will still be around

242
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.279
<v Speaker 3>because there's quality guys playing junior college, you know, and

243
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.320
<v Speaker 3>sure schools are always looking for sure gym.

244
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 2>But you're going to have to be a stud, right,

245
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 2>not that you had to be or couldn't be a

246
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.320
<v Speaker 2>study or had to be a study before, because most

247
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 2>of the studs get found right right. Whether if you

248
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 2>can playing, yeah, if you can play, they'll you just

249
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 2>got to get into the school academically.

250
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly, And that's mostly sometimes why players go to

251
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 3>you go to right right.

252
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Dude, it's not you guys were in your early twenties

253
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty years ago when you were born.

254
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.759
<v Speaker 3>This is never even thought. I mean you were telling

255
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 3>me tuestion. No, I don't know if it was you.

256
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Probably tuestion here was like four thousand, so yeah, change

257
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.639
<v Speaker 3>it might have been almost yeah, it was probably yeah,

258
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 3>four thousand for the year. Yeah for like yeah, I

259
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.879
<v Speaker 3>was like what the yeah, no, it was crazy.

260
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:39.960
<v Speaker 2>But back in the day, I'm sure that people are

261
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:41.720
<v Speaker 2>listening down and saying, yeah, it was about that. Yeah.

262
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes definitely have changed, man, yeah, no, it has, especially

263
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.159
<v Speaker 2>if you're an athlete. So we'll talk to Rocky Lowers

264
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the Rose about that. Maybe if she get an idea

265
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.799
<v Speaker 2>of what you would think about how to improve it.

266
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.519
<v Speaker 2>That's the million dollar question or the however, million million

267
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 2>dollar question, because I don't know anybody knows how to fix,

268
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, and it's gonna be like, it's gonna take

269
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>a while. Let me ask you something.

270
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.399
<v Speaker 3>If and I gets too out of hand, do you

271
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.480
<v Speaker 3>think they're gonna take it away or no?

272
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 2>No, no no, Because now now in the next they're

273
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.080
<v Speaker 2>trying to solve the problem of having to pay the

274
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:17.360
<v Speaker 2>students twenty million dollars a year. I mean, that's gonna

275
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:21.399
<v Speaker 2>bev and that's that's that's on the table. Yeah, that's

276
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.559
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be taken out the table. So imagine you

277
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>guys are born at least four years too early, because

278
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:29.320
<v Speaker 2>if you were born, I.

279
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Like, even right now, it's like even my age is

280
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 3>still guess how I'm like, I mean, you got Travis

281
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Hunter making like commercial.

282
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.879
<v Speaker 4>Five million dollars, but then yeah, in five years, it's

283
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:39.759
<v Speaker 4>gonna be even crazy.

284
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.279
<v Speaker 3>Imagine now twenty million in college. Now I don't think

285
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.399
<v Speaker 3>you I don't know, I don't think you will no, no, but.

286
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking twenty million dollars for the university sports athletic deportment.

287
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Whoever's playing right play gets gets coined. That's still a

288
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of money. Yeah, I'm not sure where they find it.

289
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.840
<v Speaker 2>This is already you guys are broke. I'm assuming you

290
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.200
<v Speaker 2>guys are broke kid in college. Yeah, but having a

291
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.720

00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 2>you're kind of broke. Now they're asking you to get

293
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>dig more deep into your pockets. But I'm already broke.

294
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Or do you find that money? You don't? You just yeah,

295

<v Speaker 16>a myriad of things going on. And yeah, so I'm

446
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.720
<v Speaker 16>gonna be doing games again, and not sure exactly what

447
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.359
<v Speaker 16>the schedules, you know, last couple of years or the

448
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.640
<v Speaker 16>last ten years. Really I had a pretty good idea

449
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:30.960
<v Speaker 16>as of this time, at least kind of conceptually what

450
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:33.319
<v Speaker 16>it would be. But you know, it's gonna be a

451
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.279
<v Speaker 16>little bit different this year, but it should be fun nonetheless.

452
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no question. And you're gonna be going to your

453
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:40.920
<v Speaker 2>old stopping grounds at least in the areas right of

454
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:42.839
<v Speaker 2>the Big twelve. I'm sure you're excited about that.

455
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.440
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, you know, again, I don't know the whole schedule,

456
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:50.559
<v Speaker 16>but yeah, that'd be awesome. Spent my one year, you know,

457
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:54.599
<v Speaker 16>one year in Kansas City, my senior year in high school.

458
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:57.519
<v Speaker 16>And my family's from the Midwest, so you know, know

459
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:02.000
<v Speaker 16>that part of the of the country pretty well, huge,

460
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:06.359
<v Speaker 16>huge KU fans in that area. In fact, my in

461
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.200
<v Speaker 16>laws are all KU people and pretty passionate fan base.

462
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 7>It's going to be fun to you know.

463
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:14.200
<v Speaker 16>I mean, we're seeing a little bit at football, which

464
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.440
<v Speaker 16>I think has been fun, but you know, I let's

465
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:18.319
<v Speaker 16>let's be honest, we're going to see it in you know,

466
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.400
<v Speaker 16>even more in basketball, just because of the quality of

467
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.640
<v Speaker 16>that conference, the best in the country, right right.

468
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, no question. So so I was telling I'm sorry.

469
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I have a couple of my interns here today, Matt

470
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and Henry, and I was telling them that you're the

471
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.400
<v Speaker 2>winningness of U a player in the history of the program.

472
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.799
<v Speaker 2>And I'll say that with an asterisk because I don't

473
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.039
<v Speaker 2>know if that's changed or not. But you never lost

474
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:44.799
<v Speaker 2>in Michale. Do you know if I think you want

475
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:47.039
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and seventeen, I'm sure you know right on

476
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:47.839
<v Speaker 2>the top of your head.

477
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:51.480
<v Speaker 7>I actually don't. I don't know what it is.

478
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:56.240
<v Speaker 16>I do remember that dussan Ristitch I think cast.

479
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:59.119
<v Speaker 7>Me yest year. Yes, so I know I think he

480
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:00.799
<v Speaker 7>was ahead of me. There may haven't even been one

481
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:01.480
<v Speaker 7>other person.

482
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.319
<v Speaker 16>I don't know who it was, but I think I'm

483
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:06.920
<v Speaker 16>still there, like top two or three there is.

484
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:10.240
<v Speaker 2>But as you and I may have talked before is okay, Yeah,

485
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.920
<v Speaker 2>there ahead, but uh, I think that Sean got knocked

486
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.359
<v Speaker 2>a few games on his probation or whatever.

487
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.880
<v Speaker 7>It was, so they just played.

488
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:22.599
<v Speaker 16>They just played more games and uh so. Uh in fact,

489
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:24.559
<v Speaker 16>I know they played more games these days because of

490
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:24.960
<v Speaker 16>all the.

491
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.559
<v Speaker 7>You know, non conference tournaments and that sort of thing.

492
00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:30.240
<v Speaker 16>We used to have, Like if we had one tournament

493
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.160
<v Speaker 16>a year, it was a lot, and we would have

494
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.599
<v Speaker 16>as you know, like some made for TV stuff we have,

495
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:40.200
<v Speaker 16>like the tip Off Classic in in in Massachusetts or whatever.

496
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:41.680
<v Speaker 7>And sometimes there's just one game.

497
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Sure, sure, And and I'm not trying to promote you

498
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.240
<v Speaker 2>or to alibi them or whatever or you uh, back

499
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.079
<v Speaker 2>in the day, you guys had tougher schedules.

500
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.359
<v Speaker 16>We did, and and you know, to some degree, I

501
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.160
<v Speaker 16>mean there's some complaints about it, but you know, look,

502
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 16>there's here's the deal. Their's on a fan base wants

503
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.559
<v Speaker 16>their team to do well in March, right. I think

504
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:09.279
<v Speaker 16>I think that's more important. As much as we'd all

505
00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:11.880
<v Speaker 16>love to see, you know, six seven home games at

506
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:14.960
<v Speaker 16>McHale that are due in Michigan State, et cetera, et cetera.

507
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:17.640
<v Speaker 7>You know you're gonna get one. You know, and maybe two.

508
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 16>And the way it works these days, it just it

509
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.079
<v Speaker 16>just happens to work that you have to play in

510
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:26.960
<v Speaker 16>those those non con you know, away from campus stuff,

511
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:29.880
<v Speaker 16>and it's it's all, you know, it's it's a huge art.

512
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.839
<v Speaker 16>It's not a science. It's an art that they've got

513
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:34.759
<v Speaker 16>to figure out every year, and it's it's it's all

514
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:37.680
<v Speaker 16>about placing them in the best position in March. And

515
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:39.799
<v Speaker 16>I get it, like, if you're a season ticket holder,

516
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:44.400
<v Speaker 16>you'd like to see you know, the bigger ones non conference. However,

517
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.599
<v Speaker 16>I will say, like, you know, now, let's just call

518
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:50.720
<v Speaker 16>it what it is. You're gonna get better games at

519
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.079
<v Speaker 16>McHale in the big twelve. You just you just are

520
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:56.559
<v Speaker 16>and hopefully you of a will continue doing like a

521
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.640
<v Speaker 16>game or two in Phoenix, maybe in Vegas. Of course

522
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:02.279
<v Speaker 16>they're gonna have those tournaments I just saw there and

523
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.880
<v Speaker 16>then Maui coming up the next year, the following year,

524
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.160
<v Speaker 16>so you know, so he can go see him in

525
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.920
<v Speaker 16>those locations if they if they have the means to

526
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.160
<v Speaker 16>do it. And you know, I've always said it's pretty

527
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.400
<v Speaker 16>awesome to sit back the night before Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving

528
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:20.720
<v Speaker 16>and watch your team plate Duke you know, like in

529
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker 16>New York and see him win, you know, like those

530
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:24.839
<v Speaker 16>are those are some pretty cool things.

531
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 7>Granted it's not a Michale.

532
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:28.759
<v Speaker 16>We'd like to all have it, but the way the

533
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.519
<v Speaker 16>way the schedules are set up these days, they just

534
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:32.119
<v Speaker 16>have to do it.

535
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:33.279
<v Speaker 7>It's it's part of the team.

536
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know the schedule better than most and you

537
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:39.480
<v Speaker 2>know the conferences, given the Big twelves power and how

538
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:42.400
<v Speaker 2>good they are. And we've we've valueued this this topic

539
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:45.680
<v Speaker 2>last ten days whatever. So Arizon is now in the

540
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Big twelve. It's gonna be a fantastic schedule. Like you said,

541
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 2>they'll probably take more losses than they have in the past. However,

542
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:55.920
<v Speaker 2>they'll be prepared for what's important, and that's March. But

543
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.079
<v Speaker 2>will they have been beaten up by the time they

544
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:01.400
<v Speaker 2>get to March? So is it a catch twenty Is

545
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.599
<v Speaker 2>it a catch twenty two? You're kind of prepared more

546
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:05.480
<v Speaker 2>at least to know what you're gonna be up against.

547
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.240
<v Speaker 2>But if you're tired and you're beat up and you're whatever,

548
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 2>what does that mean?

549
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:13.839
<v Speaker 16>Yeah? I think that goes into it, right. I think

550
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:16.039
<v Speaker 16>Tommy's Tommy and his staff have to do a good

551
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:20.039
<v Speaker 16>job of understanding that you know, playing you know, maybe

552
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 16>not playing the same minutes they've played that that could

553
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 16>be an issue. But you know, look, I'll use the

554
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:27.039
<v Speaker 16>Kevin O'Neill line. You know these guys are twenty years old.

555
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.599
<v Speaker 16>Yeah too, Like like you know, we at that age,

556
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:33.920
<v Speaker 16>we all love playing basketball. We all we all bitched

557
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:35.960
<v Speaker 16>if we went out. Yeah, nobody wanted to sit on

558
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.079
<v Speaker 16>the bench. So if I'm playing thirty five minutes, like

559
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:40.400
<v Speaker 16>you got to, you gotta kind of bring it. And

560
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.039
<v Speaker 16>you know, and these guys are young, their bodies are like, look,

561
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:48.480
<v Speaker 16>they get pounded. Like I've always said, what what college

562
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.920
<v Speaker 16>athletes do, like in basketball or football and especially through athletes.

563
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 16>Your body's not made to do that. And you know,

564
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:57.920
<v Speaker 16>you find out about it when you're you know, in

565
00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:58.920
<v Speaker 16>your fifties like me.

566
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.160
<v Speaker 7>But at that age, you know, you got no problem

567
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:04.680
<v Speaker 7>doing it. You can do it. You know it's now.

568
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:06.759
<v Speaker 16>Granted, I get it what you're saying, and I should

569
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 16>say too, I didn't even mention this with that non

570
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.400
<v Speaker 16>with those schedules that we just talked about. With it said,

571
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:15.319
<v Speaker 16>and with the challenges of playing home games, Tommy plays

572
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:19.640
<v Speaker 16>the hardest one of anybody, like go around the country

573
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:23.200
<v Speaker 16>and look at everybody else's non conference games at home, Like,

574
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.640
<v Speaker 16>you know, he plays as hard a one as and

575
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:28.720
<v Speaker 16>as fun for the fans as anyone does. You know,

576
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:33.240
<v Speaker 16>you're gonna get Duke at home, you know, in Tucson,

577
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.480
<v Speaker 16>Like I would rather have Duke at home than three

578
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.880
<v Speaker 16>good middle of the range games, you know.

579
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:42.000
<v Speaker 7>And and to your point too, like you.

580
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:44.279
<v Speaker 16>Just mentioned getting beat up in the Big Twelve. You

581
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:49.119
<v Speaker 16>can't have a schedule that's Duke Carolina, Kentucky and you know,

582
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:52.759
<v Speaker 16>Michigan State in November and December and then jump into

583
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.759
<v Speaker 16>January and February and the Big Twelve, because then you really.

584
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:56.279
<v Speaker 7>Will get beat up.

585
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Sure, hey it's bad here.

586
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so we already know Arizona is going to have

587
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:06.799
<v Speaker 3>a tough season because of the new conference during but like,

588
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 3>what's what's your expectation after the season when we talk

589
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:13.640
<v Speaker 3>about final fours and all that, what what do you

590
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:17.000
<v Speaker 3>want them to do? I know we want to go

591
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:19.720
<v Speaker 3>all the way, but like what would Yeah.

592
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:21.640
<v Speaker 16>I mean, here's my take.

593
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:22.480
<v Speaker 7>My take is this.

594
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:27.039
<v Speaker 16>You know, you get to a final four, any team

595
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:29.880
<v Speaker 16>in any school, when you get to a final four,

596
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:31.759
<v Speaker 16>you're you're like legendary status.

597
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:33.839
<v Speaker 7>You go down in history.

598
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:37.880
<v Speaker 16>And if you win it, then it's like next level legendary.

599
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.200
<v Speaker 16>But if you get to a Final four, it's legendary.

600
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:42.920
<v Speaker 16>It's what we all wanted as players. It's it's the

601
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.480
<v Speaker 16>kind of goal from especially the u of a program

602
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.079
<v Speaker 16>from gig one. My my my take is this, it's

603
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.680
<v Speaker 16>like a golfer. You know, you can't always win a major,

604
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:56.240
<v Speaker 16>but if you put yourself there on Sunday at the

605
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:57.759
<v Speaker 16>start of the round or on the start.

606
00:28:57.559 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 7>Of the back nine, and you're in the mix, you're

607
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:01.240
<v Speaker 7>to win some and you lose some.

608
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 16>And I think for a team like this and Tommy's

609
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 16>done it. Tommy's done it, what two out of three

610
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:09.559
<v Speaker 16>years that he's been in Tucson. You get your team

611
00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:12.640
<v Speaker 16>to a Sweet sixteen. If you get there, you're two

612
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:16.680
<v Speaker 16>games away. Like it's just it's two good, solid games.

613
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:18.359
<v Speaker 16>You got to shoot it well, you gotta play well,

614
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.079
<v Speaker 16>and you are in legendary status. Now, they didn't get there.

615
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.039
<v Speaker 16>You know, three years ago they got a horrible seed

616
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.680
<v Speaker 16>against Houston. Houston should have been like a one seed

617
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:29.720
<v Speaker 16>or a two seed. That should have been a final

618
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:32.400
<v Speaker 16>four game. Not to mention, they got into San Antonio,

619
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:35.440
<v Speaker 16>So it was a really tough matchup. Last year, I

620
00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:38.440
<v Speaker 16>thought they were better than Clemson. They had a rough

621
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:39.920
<v Speaker 16>shooting game, they didn't shoot.

622
00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:41.359
<v Speaker 7>It well and they got bounced, you know.

623
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:44.240
<v Speaker 16>And so my thing is give yourself opportunities to keep

624
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.039
<v Speaker 16>getting yourself into a sweet sixteen. If you do that,

625
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:51.240
<v Speaker 16>you know you're gonna have times where it connects, you're

626
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.960
<v Speaker 16>gonna get the breaks, the ball is gonna bounce the

627
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:55.279
<v Speaker 16>right way, and you're gonna get some final fours.

628
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:58.319
<v Speaker 3>Would you say this year is like the best year

629
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:00.720
<v Speaker 3>for them to go all the way?

630
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:08.240
<v Speaker 16>You know, it's definitely up there. I thought three years

631
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.759
<v Speaker 16>ago they were outstanding. Let's let's remember they had three

632
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:16.880
<v Speaker 16>like top thirty picks, and yep, they were. They were

633
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:20.480
<v Speaker 16>pretty outstanding. But I think I think Tommy and his

634
00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:23.920
<v Speaker 16>teams have matured. I think they're a little more physical,

635
00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 16>and I think so let me just jump into this year.

636
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:28.200
<v Speaker 16>I've been to one practice. I'm going to go to

637
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 16>some more in the next couple of weeks. I got

638
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:34.119
<v Speaker 16>their first couple of exhibition games, and what I noticed

639
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:38.799
<v Speaker 16>more than anything was two things. I noticed two things

640
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:42.000
<v Speaker 16>just how physical they were playing, and you could see

641
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:45.559
<v Speaker 16>it was already a thing, it was already talked about.

642
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:48.440
<v Speaker 7>They were implementing a more physical.

643
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:50.880
<v Speaker 16>Style, and I felt like I felt like there was

644
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:54.640
<v Speaker 16>more focus on defense. And I'll tell you I ran

645
00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 16>into Caleb Love somewhere in the last few weeks and

646
00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:59.759
<v Speaker 16>I was talking to him and the first thing out

647
00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:02.480
<v Speaker 16>of his mouth was, Hey, We're gonna be better defensively,

648
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:05.240
<v Speaker 16>And I thought that was that was telling.

649
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Me, we are you mostly excited to see when the

650
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 2>season comes.

651
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:16.079
<v Speaker 16>God's a great question. I hadn't thought about that. You know,

652
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:20.799
<v Speaker 16>for me, the two guys that probably jump out are

653
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:22.559
<v Speaker 16>Jade and Bradley. I want to see him play the

654
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.839
<v Speaker 16>point with extended minutes. You know, he looked really good

655
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:29.200
<v Speaker 16>the last three or four games of the season last year,

656
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:31.160
<v Speaker 16>like a guy that is going to take not a

657
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:33.160
<v Speaker 16>step or a leap up, but you know, like two

658
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:33.839
<v Speaker 16>levels up.

659
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:35.920
<v Speaker 7>And so I'm excited about him.

660
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:38.559
<v Speaker 16>And I think for the same reason the guy that

661
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:40.720
<v Speaker 16>played kind of opposite him when they would come in

662
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:43.799
<v Speaker 16>off the bench, kJ lewis like both of those guys

663
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:47.640
<v Speaker 16>from our position, do they like there's no pun intending

664
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:50.720
<v Speaker 16>is kJ can bounce, but do they bounce up? You know,

665
00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:55.000
<v Speaker 16>levels this year and become you know, like NBA like

666
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 16>like for sure NBA guys that you're like, damn, those

667
00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 16>guys are good.

668
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no question that. I had Rhino on yesterday and

669
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I talked about those three with love and kJ and

670
00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Jayden as you know, the best some of the best

671
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.079
<v Speaker 2>three back in the back court since you know, the

672
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Reggie and Celine, dun and Damon and played and then

673
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.920
<v Speaker 2>you had Bibby and Miles and you had Dickerson. So

674
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 2>but let me ask you, let me ask you a question.

675
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've ever asked you. Uh, you're talking

676
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.960
<v Speaker 2>about the Sweet sixteen and the success. It's been twenty

677
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:27.000
<v Speaker 2>four years since, uh it was on a went to

678
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.359
<v Speaker 2>the final four. You were just a young man back then.

679
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:33.079
<v Speaker 2>But but let me say, what if what if lut

680
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:35.839
<v Speaker 2>had never won the title? What do you think his

681
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.519
<v Speaker 2>legacy would have been? And because he had a couple

682
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:41.119
<v Speaker 2>of chances even after that, even after that.

683
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:45.440
<v Speaker 16>Title, Yeah, you know, I think I think, sadly, it

684
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:48.519
<v Speaker 16>would have been less right, it would have been you know,

685
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:51.559
<v Speaker 16>there's some teams out there that haven't closed the deal.

686
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.519
<v Speaker 16>I'm trying to think of like a Purdue, Purdue, you know, a.

687
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:58.640
<v Speaker 16>Purdue has always thought of as a really good program.

688
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.920
<v Speaker 16>But I think was last year the first final four

689
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:04.880
<v Speaker 16>they've ever had, maybe the second, maybe the first.

690
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:08.559
<v Speaker 7>But I don't, I don't put them like I don't think.

691
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:09.839
<v Speaker 7>But let me put it this way.

692
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:13.680
<v Speaker 16>Had Arizona won five championships, fourst they would be in

693
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:18.880
<v Speaker 16>the top status. They would be with Kentucky KUH even

694
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:20.599
<v Speaker 16>U c l A all these years later because they

695
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:23.440
<v Speaker 16>won eleven of them. But Kentucky KU, you know, do

696
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:25.079
<v Speaker 16>those teams but they didn't.

697
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:27.519
<v Speaker 7>They didn't. So I think as we sit.

698
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:30.839
<v Speaker 16>Here, I think you have as you know, historic is

699
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:35.559
<v Speaker 16>is sort of that second level. It's Arizona, Indiana, Syracuse,

700
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:39.200
<v Speaker 16>Michigan State, you know whatever. That kind of second frame

701
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 16>of teams is, which is amazing, you know, which is

702
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:45.039
<v Speaker 16>just you know, think about when Luke came here.

703
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:45.759
<v Speaker 7>The thought of that.

704
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:48.440
<v Speaker 16>Happening there, you know, was probably you know, one in

705
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:51.839
<v Speaker 16>a million, yea or maybe not that high, but you know,

706
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:56.039
<v Speaker 16>you get and but but but I say this, you

707
00:33:56.039 --> 00:33:56.599
<v Speaker 16>don't put.

708
00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:59.599
<v Speaker 7>For doing that category, you know, you don't.

709
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:04.519
<v Speaker 16>You don't putting Georgetown eight teams, Georgetown, George, even Georgetown

710
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.799
<v Speaker 16>who fell apart, you know at times the last thirty years.

711
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:11.119
<v Speaker 16>So you know, Arizona's in that second level. And I

712
00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:15.280
<v Speaker 16>think it's not only because of the longevity the dozens

713
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:20.519
<v Speaker 16>of NBA players and stars and contracts and just historic

714
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.719
<v Speaker 16>games and all that stuff and a million I think

715
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:26.760
<v Speaker 16>I read something from the staff this year that they

716
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:30.760
<v Speaker 16>during the PAC twelve and PAC ten era won twenty

717
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:35.199
<v Speaker 16>eight different either the league or the tournament championships something

718
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:38.320
<v Speaker 16>like that, like no one's even close, right, and and

719
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:42.280
<v Speaker 16>but I don't think Arizona's in that level without a title.

720
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I was just curious with your thoughts. In fact,

721
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:46.599
<v Speaker 2>I might quote you in a story that I'm gonna

722
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:48.119
<v Speaker 2>do the in the guards. So let's go to the

723
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:49.800
<v Speaker 2>guards real quick, and then I want to ask you

724
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:52.800
<v Speaker 2>about your your your hometown, Kansas City. It's kind of

725
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.199
<v Speaker 2>gone bersik, But let me ask you about the three

726
00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:57.719
<v Speaker 2>guards that they have compared to the other guards I

727
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.320
<v Speaker 2>mentioned with Bibbie and Miles and Dickerson, and in those

728
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:03.119
<v Speaker 2>of them, Oh.

729
00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:05.840
<v Speaker 7>How do I put how do I stack them?

730
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:06.400
<v Speaker 2>You know?

731
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:08.719
<v Speaker 16>I think I think that this year time will tell, right.

732
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:13.440
<v Speaker 16>I think the the greatest guard combo you would have

733
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:17.920
<v Speaker 16>to say was Bibby Miles and Dickerson right and carry

734
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 16>off the pitch like, I don't think anyone touched those

735
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:27.400
<v Speaker 16>those four now now right, probably in second place or

736
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.159
<v Speaker 16>almost a tie for second. You would put the ninety

737
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:34.840
<v Speaker 16>fourteen with with Reggie Stodd and and care and then

738
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:36.760
<v Speaker 16>you'd probably put them in the tie with the one

739
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:41.960
<v Speaker 16>guys with uh with you know Gardener, Gilbert and Ke

740
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:46.280
<v Speaker 16>and Luke and Luke. Yeah, yeah, and so you know,

741
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:50.599
<v Speaker 16>I I uh, I mean that's that's those are probably

742
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:51.760
<v Speaker 16>the top three of all time?

743
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.440
<v Speaker 7>Is this group in that? I mean, I think I

744
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:56.559
<v Speaker 7>think they're in the conversation.

745
00:35:56.639 --> 00:35:58.519
<v Speaker 16>They've got a lot They've got some stuff to prove

746
00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:01.199
<v Speaker 16>this year because again, like I said, you know, Jayden

747
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:03.280
<v Speaker 16>hasn't done it as a starter yet, and he will.

748
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:05.599
<v Speaker 16>I think I have a lot of confidence in him.

749
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 16>kJ same thing, you know, he's he's now sophomore year,

750
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:11.119
<v Speaker 16>is going to be a starter. Hell has gone. He

751
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:12.320
<v Speaker 16>takes over that position.

752
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:16.320
<v Speaker 7>And same with Kayleb. You know what's interesting about Caleb.

753
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:22.760
<v Speaker 7>I believe Caleb is the first player since.

754
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.679
<v Speaker 16>Sean Elliott that won the PAC twelve Player of the

755
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:31.599
<v Speaker 16>Year to come back to college. So his it's it's

756
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:34.000
<v Speaker 16>funny because you know, he had such a great year.

757
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:35.559
<v Speaker 16>He's the PAC twelve Player of the year. Those are

758
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:37.599
<v Speaker 16>those are like the type of things you go into

759
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:39.559
<v Speaker 16>the Hall of Fame for at u of a right

760
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:42.440
<v Speaker 16>and what do we remember about him? Kind of the

761
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:45.119
<v Speaker 16>last game he didn't play well, didn't shoot it, and

762
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:48.920
<v Speaker 16>people kind of almost dismissed that he's back. He's the

763
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:49.800
<v Speaker 16>PAC twelve Player of the year.

764
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:52.000
<v Speaker 7>That's pretty sensational.

765
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, that's a great that's a great come. I

766
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.960
<v Speaker 2>have to go research, I have to fact check you,

767
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:58.199
<v Speaker 2>but I think that's a good one.

768
00:36:58.280 --> 00:36:58.719
<v Speaker 7>That's right.

769
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Lastly, because we've got to go in a little bit,

770
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:06.559
<v Speaker 2>your hometown, hometown team is the Casey Royals and Casey Chiefs.

771
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:08.280
<v Speaker 2>What the world's going on with this thing?

772
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:12.159
<v Speaker 16>Well, as you know, Steve, I moved from Casey to

773
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:15.360
<v Speaker 16>the Barria, so my team's growing up were Casey Royals,

774
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:18.159
<v Speaker 16>Chiefs and the Lawyers because the Kings had left ca C.

775
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:19.719
<v Speaker 16>So I became a Warriors fan grow up in the

776
00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.880
<v Speaker 16>Brea had nothing to do with Twenty five years later.

777
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:24.559
<v Speaker 7>One of my best friends became the coach.

778
00:37:26.199 --> 00:37:28.679
<v Speaker 16>And I went other than the eighty five Royals won

779
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:30.079
<v Speaker 16>the World Series in eighty five.

780
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:32.639
<v Speaker 7>Other than that, I waited fifty.

781
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:34.920
<v Speaker 16>Years until the Chiefs went to a Super Bowl. The

782
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:36.920
<v Speaker 16>Royals were one of the worst teams in baseball.

783
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:38.039
<v Speaker 7>The Warriors.

784
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:40.880
<v Speaker 16>I waited for forty years to do anything, and all

785
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:43.119
<v Speaker 16>of a sudden in fourteen, I've had the Royals in

786
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:45.519
<v Speaker 16>two World Series. And since the last ten years, I've

787
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:48.360
<v Speaker 16>had the Royals and two World Series, the Chiefs and

788
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:52.199
<v Speaker 16>four Super Bowls, the Warriors in five World Championships. So

789
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.119
<v Speaker 16>I've been you know, we all have our teams. Yeah, typically,

790
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:58.119
<v Speaker 16>as we all know, in the year crying and hoping

791
00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:01.440
<v Speaker 16>for a better year next year. Yeah, And I've been lucky.

792
00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:02.519
<v Speaker 7>I've had ten great.

793
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:05.239
<v Speaker 16>Years with those teams that that usually doesn't happen. For

794
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:07.079
<v Speaker 16>fifty years, I didn't have it. You know, it wasn't

795
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:09.280
<v Speaker 16>happening the Matt mule Buck. All of a sudden, the

796
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:09.840
<v Speaker 16>Matt Mubu.

797
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:11.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

798
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:16.679
<v Speaker 16>So now you know, root from my hometown team, the Wildcats,

799
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:17.920
<v Speaker 16>and see what see what they can do.

800
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's been It's not like the girl in the

801

<v Speaker 2>is it still going?

905
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:20.679
<v Speaker 4>I was gonna talk about right now the Jonathan give

906
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:23.719
<v Speaker 4>me an NBA draft analyst. He released his top one

907
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:26.000
<v Speaker 4>hundred and there were five Arizona guys.

908
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:28.559
<v Speaker 2>In the really top one hundred, Okay, top one hundred.

909
00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:30.119
<v Speaker 2>Don't say what they are until we get breaking news

910
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:32.480
<v Speaker 2>on the other side. Do you have the list there?

911
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:32.760
<v Speaker 15>Yeah?

912
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:34.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean we could talk about it. You have enough

913
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:37.519
<v Speaker 2>stuff for next hour? Yeah, go ahead? That okay.

914
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:42.039
<v Speaker 4>We got Carter Brian at thirteen, Crevass at seventeen, kJ

915
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:43.000
<v Speaker 4>Lewis thirty four.

916
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Wait wait, wait, so go go slow because I just

917
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:47.239
<v Speaker 2>was looked Carter Bryant thirteen.

918
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:51.079
<v Speaker 4>Really really for this year, for the next twenty twenty

919
00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:51.800
<v Speaker 4>five during.

920
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you why, but go ahead.

921
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Uh, crevos Is at seventeen, kJ Lewis is at thirty four,

922
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:02.960
<v Speaker 4>Jaden Bradley fifty five, and Caleb Love eighty nine.

923
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:07.960
<v Speaker 2>What's anything they're surprised you? I think that Hi, yeah,

924
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:09.880
<v Speaker 2>well that's one. I think that's the second high, the

925
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:13.880
<v Speaker 2>second thing for me. I think Carter Bryant, that's fair.

926
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I think fair, you know, in my mind before Matt

927
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:20.800
<v Speaker 2>thinks about what he wants to say, I think kJ

928
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Lewis is the shoe on or shoe in for being

929
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:25.360
<v Speaker 2>the best NBA prospect right now.

930
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:27.800
<v Speaker 4>I think they're gonna take away the fact because he's

931
00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:30.199
<v Speaker 4>a sophomore. Because you know, the NBA teams I love

932
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:31.639
<v Speaker 4>their their freshman guy.

933
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:34.199
<v Speaker 2>Freshman, but he's but he's Yeah, but if he's the

934
00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:37.280
<v Speaker 2>best prospect, why would you have him that low thirty something?

935
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:39.039
<v Speaker 2>I bet you, I bet you now that he goes

936
00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:41.199
<v Speaker 2>in the first round. Yeah, I agree, I think once

937
00:44:41.239 --> 00:44:44.440
<v Speaker 2>the season starts. Yeah, and you you talked about Bryant

938
00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:45.440
<v Speaker 2>being shocked to.

939
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:47.800
<v Speaker 4>Me, wait, is this all time? This is just for

940
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:50.079
<v Speaker 4>the draft draft next year?

941
00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? So Brian Bryant, I know he's a talent. I

942
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:55.119
<v Speaker 2>haven't really seen him a whole heck of a lot

943
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:57.320
<v Speaker 2>in high school some you know, red blue, What do

944
00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:00.760
<v Speaker 2>you learned from there? Or nothing? But no question, he's versatile,

945
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:04.880
<v Speaker 2>he's good. But seventeen, I'm not surely he'll even have

946
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.440
<v Speaker 2>that much of an impact on this team. Although he's

947
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna have an impact, I won't go not say that,

948
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:13.239
<v Speaker 2>but I think that kJ Lewis and and Love and

949
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:16.840
<v Speaker 2>the other guy is gonna probably have more of an impact.

950
00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:19.639
<v Speaker 2>He was at eighty nine eighty nine, So this tells

951
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.280
<v Speaker 2>you what? Doesn't that shock you too? Yeah? I think

952
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:25.239
<v Speaker 2>that the age is definitely a big thing for that. Yeah.

953
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:29.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't like how they they overvalue young guys too much.

954
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Nowadays, we like a negative stigma and players staying yeah, no,

955
00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:35.440
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you there, because if you could play,

956
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:36.639
<v Speaker 2>all right, you could play.

957
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:39.559
<v Speaker 3>Here's the problem. Go ahead, you guys. Remember that one

958
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:42.000
<v Speaker 3>guard from Seaton Hall I forgot his name, Powell.

959
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, us now you're so called.

960
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I feel like because he sayd four years,

961
00:45:48.760 --> 00:45:50.159
<v Speaker 3>people looked at him like but he was.

962
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:54.400
<v Speaker 2>So But if he's good good, why wouldn't he be

963
00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:56.119
<v Speaker 2>able to play in the NBA. You know what I'm saying.

964
00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:59.280
<v Speaker 2>It must lack something because if you're good, the NBA

965
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:01.039
<v Speaker 2>teams are gonna say, come and play for us.

966
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:04.280
<v Speaker 4>It's still not teams that are players that go four

967
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.119
<v Speaker 4>years still, you know, get like home Hawk is he

968
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:09.599
<v Speaker 4>played four years, he's still first because he.

969
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:13.239
<v Speaker 2>Can play and he's worth something. For Caleb, I wouldn't

970
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:17.079
<v Speaker 2>know what he's lacking, but he's obviously lacking something where

971
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:20.000
<v Speaker 2>they don't trust him offensively, they don't trust him defensively,

972
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.599
<v Speaker 2>or they just don't they know things that we don't know.

973
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.400
<v Speaker 4>I think his offense can get to the NBA level, so

974
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:28.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't sure, but he has to be more consistent,

975
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.159
<v Speaker 4>more consistent. But the guy can score here's your issue.

976
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:33.639
<v Speaker 4>Do we get a call? Okay, Hey, you're on the

977
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:34.280
<v Speaker 4>air and nine on the ball.

978
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:45.119
<v Speaker 2>This is Steve maybe in real hope. You're on the

979
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:46.519
<v Speaker 2>air and eye on the ball. This is Steve.

980
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:49.760
<v Speaker 7>No.

981
00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Hello, we're trying. We're trying. If you're hearing us, Hello, Hey,

982
00:46:57.840 --> 00:46:59.639
<v Speaker 2>you're on the air and eye on the ball. Hey

983
00:46:59.639 --> 00:46:59.920
<v Speaker 2>who's that?

984
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:03.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Yeah, it's the guy that makes the most remotes.

985
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:04.440
<v Speaker 5>But I can't come tomorrow.

986
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh hey, Howard, how are you good? How are you

987
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:09.000
<v Speaker 2>doing good? What's the word?

988
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:10.880
<v Speaker 4>The word is?

989
00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:14.079
<v Speaker 5>I know? I was like ready to push the pianic button.

990
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:17.199
<v Speaker 5>And then you talk with Matt about the rough and

991
00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:22.239
<v Speaker 5>tough Big twelve. It's like, aren't you allowed twelve scholarships?

992
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:24.559
<v Speaker 5>We you know, a couple weeks ago you said we

993
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:25.280
<v Speaker 5>only have nine.

994
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Right, that's the way he's choosing to do it. It

995
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:30.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make any sense to some of us. But he's

996
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:34.119
<v Speaker 2>going to only go nine deep anyway with the season

997
00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:37.039
<v Speaker 2>if he goes that far. So it's kind of a

998
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:39.639
<v Speaker 2>conundrum or a puzzle for us right now because he's

999
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:42.119
<v Speaker 2>not gonna go with twelve. He wouldn't play twelve anyway

1000
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:45.760
<v Speaker 2>he has right now, He has ten walk ons, ten

1001
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:47.239
<v Speaker 2>eleven walk on So there's that.

1002
00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:48.480
<v Speaker 7>I've got that many.

1003
00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, but for whatever reason. You know his son, well,

1004
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.519
<v Speaker 2>let me tell you. His son's a walk on. Desiree's

1005
00:47:55.559 --> 00:47:59.440
<v Speaker 2>sons a walk on from Zuri. He has Grant Whiteman

1006
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:01.760
<v Speaker 2>and a others from last year as GA. You know,

1007
00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:04.480
<v Speaker 2>a long time guys for five year guys. So the

1008
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:07.360
<v Speaker 2>bench is there, it's just not it's just not a

1009
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:08.519
<v Speaker 2>really playable bench.

1010
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:11.360
<v Speaker 5>Well it's white man. I guess if you're a walk

1011
00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:12.920
<v Speaker 5>and you could play twenty.

1012
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Years, right, you could play at least five right.

1013
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:18.480
<v Speaker 5>So just it seems like he's been there a yeah.

1014
00:48:18.519 --> 00:48:20.840
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you, are you concerned with the

1015
00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:22.960
<v Speaker 2>PAC twelve packed Big twelve schedule?

1016
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:27.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, not really. I'm just I'm still amped up. I

1017
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:27.599
<v Speaker 5>can't wait to.

1018
00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:28.199
<v Speaker 7>Go to games.

1019
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:31.880
<v Speaker 5>And when you're a young man, they're read the rankings

1020
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:34.400
<v Speaker 5>of how they're supposed to come in the NBA. I

1021
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:37.480
<v Speaker 5>think I have to buy some cards when they're rookies

1022
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:40.599
<v Speaker 5>the next year, because I agree. I saw k J.

1023
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:42.760
<v Speaker 5>Lewis and the warm up line of the three Point

1024
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:45.239
<v Speaker 5>Contest live. I thought he was the best player.

1025
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think he's the best NBA prospect. To have

1026
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:51.320
<v Speaker 2>him that low right now, to me is kind of

1027
00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:55.239
<v Speaker 2>a shock. Uh, and Crevis that high, like said, because

1028
00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:57.079
<v Speaker 2>he's also but he's not freshman.

1029
00:48:57.119 --> 00:48:59.360
<v Speaker 5>He's a sophomore too, so well he's yeah, he's a somber,

1030
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.159
<v Speaker 5>but he's a yurope and they're pretty strong. He's just

1031
00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:03.320
<v Speaker 5>got to work on his body.

1032
00:49:03.519 --> 00:49:06.519
