1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,480
Speaker 1: Is here.

00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,559
line segment. Ben breaks down the latest sound from BYU

00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,800
a spicy one. It was a spicy go ahead and

11
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,879
downloaded on the podcast. They'll post here momentarily. Let me know.

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,800
Let me know you guys always know I don't run

13
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:30,719
from any smoke. I know I'm poking the bear today,

14
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:32,520
but I guess I'm just in that type of mood.

15
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,320
On the Tuesday, Brett always bringing a hammer by my side.

16
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,799
I'm broadcasting from Salt Lake City, Utah. Brett is down

17
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,200
at our Banderwelth Studios. Ben crittles out today. He'll be

18
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,560
back tomorrow. Just give you guys a little teas. We're

19
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,039
gonna play our interviews from fall excuse me, springball. I'm

20
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,399
already for football season. Brenham Sam Fall Camp springball. I

21
00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:51,640
caught up with the boy quarterback tracing board gaate QB two,

22
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:53,600
QB one. You mentioned that a little bit. Look if

23
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,159
Bear goes down, if that ankle is delly, could they

24
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,719
bring in Trace and Tracon played seven on seventh high Casper,

25
00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:04,439
he I still think. Look, I know Bears the best

26
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:07,000
quarterback as a hole on that team, but Trayson has

27
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,159
a bigger arm and his deep ball is way better

28
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,000
way sex here. He can throw it down the field

29
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,280
than Bear. No shot at Barry. It's not saying Bear

30
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,439
it's not a good football player. But if Trayson had

31
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:19,400
to leave the offense, what's your confidence levelar caught up

32
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,719
with him. Will play that yesterday, excuse me tomorrow along

33
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,400
with Ben's interview with tight Ends coach Kevin Gilbride, Walker,

34
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:27,719
Lions and Roberts l Pak are gonna be a big

35
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,640
part of this offense. Aaron Rodderck has repeated that multiple times.

36
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,439
So we'll see this reading between the line segment. This

37
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,920
is gonna be with Killane Sataki. It's brought to you

00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,799
I get off, I was, Brett, you wouldn't believe this,

49
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:06,120
But I was coming back from Chicago and I looked

50
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:07,959
and I said, I know what that logo is. And

51
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,360
someone had on a Primo Golf hoodie and I said, wow,

52
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,479
who would have thought that that would have been coming

53
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,159
on the plane from Chicago. But that's how national Primo is. Guys,

Sound excuse me, Colone Shaintaki. Sound now, this is Colonie Shintaki.

60
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:41,039
Earlier this week, he participated in mediavailablity yesterday with us.

61
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,879
Let's get caught up with Kilanie and what he had

62
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:45,080
to say. We were, what or a week away from

63
00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:47,199
springball ending. Let's see what he had to say on

64
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:47,520
the matter.

65
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, really good day.

66
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 5: I mean, really really happy with what we're doing overall

67
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:00,800
all three phases. But obviously a lot of the focus

68
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,199
goes on to the offense and the defense and Bears

69
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:06,159
looking good. I thought Trason did some really good things

70
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:08,639
today too, and saw some really good things from Unich.

71
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,599
So the quarterbacks doing a great job. I like the

72
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:15,159
old line receivers have done a great job at tight

73
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,800
ends and running back. Overall offensively, I'm really excited about

74
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,759
the group. And then, uh, you know the defense, I

75
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:25,240
mean the front, what Kate Pop's doing as a as

76
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,800
a coordinator, and what we're doing as an overall staff

77
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:33,360
with the with the D line, linebackers, outside backers, inside backers,

78
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,879
safeties and corners. I mean, it's we're starting to really

79
00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:39,759
gel right now. And there's a lot of big plays

80
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:41,879
on both sides. So it's kind of hard for me

81
00:03:41,919 --> 00:03:43,639
as a head coach, you say, well, how how's it going?

82
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,199
Is like it there's there's a there's good and bad

83
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:49,639
from both sides, And when you have such a highly

84
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,240
competitive team, you're gonna have some big plays on offense

85
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,520
and some big plays on defense. And then we saw

86
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:58,479
some of that today and just you know, I'm just

87
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,120
really liking the progress overalls of the team and the

88
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:02,199
leadership in the group.

89
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: And getting some working with Trayson and Bear.

90
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: Obviously in the quarterback.

91
00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: I asked a Rod about.

92
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 6: A couple of weeks ago and just to kind of

93
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,919
get your take, can you notice sort of a difference

94
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,399
on him coming in not only early in his ring

95
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:18,879
loll with him, but to get a couple of ut

96
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,079
reps during kind of a bull practice.

97
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 5: That yeah, you can definitely see just him being comfortable

98
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,959
with the reps and with the just the timing of

99
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,600
it all. I mean, you have to remember he just

100
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,160
got home from his mission and so but having him

101
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,279
do the extra practices in the bowl prep was actually

102
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,519
really cool, and so I think that was really good

103
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,519
for enix progression and his development. And then even now,

104
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,480
I mean, if you look at practice one to where

105
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,360
we're at right now. He's he's improved quite a bit,

106
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:51,839
and so it's very encouraging when you have players get

107
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:54,720
better with the reps that you get them and and

108
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,720
he's not making the same mistakes. It's just a great

109
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,839
indicator that you have a really good quarterback. And so

110
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,519
uh and I think all three of those guys have

111
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:05,759
done an amazing job in spring camp so far as.

112
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:09,759
Speaker 7: College football settles more into life with one man rosters, Colon,

113
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:13,839
how challenging is it to maybe achieve all your goals

114
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:16,879
that you want in spring ball knowing that the ultimate

115
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,199
battles are in the fall and keeping just guys healthy

116
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,839
to put the limitations.

117
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:24,959
Speaker 5: Well, it's it's it's it's a little bit of there's

118
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:27,519
a balance, and I mean, I think you have to

119
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,199
get into that great gray area a little bit where

120
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:32,600
you have to see some guys, uh do it with

121
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:36,000
some live stuff. I mean, we on on on the

122
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:39,040
on the scrimmage at the stadium, it was mostly the

123
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:43,079
live stuff was with the threes. So if guys are

124
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:45,079
kind of brand new and never been tackled in that

125
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,879
stadium or never tackled in that stadium, then that's what

126
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,360
we want to see them do, and and we saw

127
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,639
enough from that, but I don't think we needed to

128
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:55,480
see anything from the ones and twos, And even during

129
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,360
spring I'm I'm not sure how much you're reading to

130
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,319
see them go live, but everything, if you know, the.

131
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: Game up front is live already.

132
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 5: So when you talk to the old lineman, you talk

133
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,199
to Keanu and the d lineman that they've been going.

134
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:11,480
They've been battling this whole time, so there's no such

135
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:14,600
thing as like, you know, thud or tag for them.

136
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:17,240
Those guys are it's all live, I mean, and so

137
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,680
you know, I've been With that being said, the big

138
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,759
boys are doing a really good.

139
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 4: Job the skill.

140
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,639
Speaker 5: You kind of just you just assume that guys would

141
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:29,920
make tackles in space and things like that, but they've

142
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,079
done it before, and with the new guys, we want

143
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:33,560
to see if they could do it, and they those

144
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,279
guys did a pretty good job at it too, And

145
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,519
so I'm just overall, I think they're still talking to

146
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:41,439
the Sports Science group and we set the figure it

147
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,319
out or where's the best where's the best balance of

148
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,199
doing it all, And then because you get to to

149
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,759
fall camp, you don't want to just go live a

150
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:50,279
bunch of fall camp. You got to get ready for

151
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:54,480
this season too, So there's gonna be us leaning heavily

152
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:56,600
on the science part. And then every year's got to

153
00:06:56,639 --> 00:06:58,959
be different because we have guys that really don't need

154
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,160
to do as much, but I mean, you still need

155
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:03,759
to get a little bit of the physical part of it.

156
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: K Pop was the guy that you wanted it as

157
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:06,600
the DC.

158
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 7: How what's been your thoughts, you know what nine or

159
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,360
ten practice is in now? Just your thoughts on how

160
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,519
he's operating as a defensive coortner has been a what

161
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,279
you hoped.

162
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:15,839
Speaker 1: Out from him?

163
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was there's no doubt in my mind that

164
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:21,360
that he was the next one in line. And even

165
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:26,240
when Jay was here, my job was to prep and

166
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:27,920
get get on the next one ready.

167
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: So I spent a lot of time with k Pop.

168
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,079
Speaker 5: So why he was still in front of the team

169
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,720
quite a bit, and why I put him in a

170
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,839
position to basically be able to see the entire team

171
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,720
so he can evaluate who could probably possibly play on

172
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:43,759
his side too, And then you know, I just really

173
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:45,680
want him to be his own person. But at the

174
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,319
same time, there's stuff that I think we're really really

175
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:50,680
good at but I think his background, when you bring

176
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,639
it all together, he's a guy that understands how to

177
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:55,759
how to put this thing together. And I'm just I'm

178
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,519
being honest. I've been really really fired up about how

179
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,279
he's doing it and how he's I mean, he's actually

180
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,319
from my expectations, he's exceeded it so far.

181
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 4: And we haven't we haven't played a.

182
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 5: Game yet, but I think this is this is going

183
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:11,879
to be a pretty good thing for us.

184
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:13,959
Speaker 3: Are going to come back. I feel like we need

185
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,240
to stop to talk about a couple of things. A

186
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:17,600
lot of good nuggets so far, bread the recent nuggets

187
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,560
about that he's exceeded my expectations. I think that's high

188
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,720
praise coming from Killanne, especially with all the discussion along

189
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,560
the the the offensive side of the ball, the receiver

190
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:28,959
room and everything. That's high praise room your your head coach.

191
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 8: It is, and it's really reassuring for any fans because

192
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:37,519
you don't know what k Pop is going to be.

193
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: As a defensive coordinator.

194
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,519
Speaker 8: There's no kid, there's no guarantees, right, and we heard

195
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,519
often about how complex the Jay Hill system was, and

196
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,279
so you run into the question of, well do we

197
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,279
do something that's less complex or do we keep the

198
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,679
same thing, And either way there's some complexities involved. So

199
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,080
it's really great to hear from Kilani that he's fired

200
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,360
up about K pop and I think that I think

201
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,559
obviously he is the guy seemed fired up to play

202
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:09,840
for him.

203
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: We saw some good video.

204
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 8: Of guys popping pads in practice, like this looks like

205
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:16,320
a defense that's going to go and get after. It

206
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,279
was aw justin Kirkland getting up there to beat a

207
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,799
pass in some of that video.

208
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: The BAU football set out, so it's a big deal.

209
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,519
And the other thing I liked from Kilani is that, like.

210
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 8: He said that, I was always working on this with

211
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,440
K pop, Right, great leaders are always working on elevating

212
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,240
those who work with them and work for them. Yes,

213
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,320
you always like that's the mark of a great head coach, Right,

214
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,000
is how many of your coaches go on.

215
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: To be great head coaches?

216
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 8: I think Nick Saban will tell you that, Like, it

217
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,200
sucks to see the shreeve, but it's a mark of

218
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:55,840
success for you for someone to leave and be promoted elsewhere.

219
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,519
You unfortunately just can't keep everybody, like h Dan Lanning

220
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,200
had to go to Oregon Kirby Smart had to go

221
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,960
to Georgia like they couldn't just hang out with Nick

222
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,879
Saban for forever.

223
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: And so Kilanie clearly sees it in.

224
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 8: A way of I'm always working to elevate my staff

225
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,919
the best that they can. Unfortunately, they're gonna get so

226
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,639
good where they're going to outgrow me. But what you

227
00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:23,559
always know is that you're always going to have someone

228
00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:26,679
who's capable of being a head coach at your DC

229
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,559
and your OC position until they eventually get that job.

230
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,879
Speaker 1: So it's a blessing and a curse. But great words

231
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:32,960
from Kolonie Sataki.

232
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely great words from Kilanie. Look to fire it

233
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,279
up about it. You mentioned, you know a good nuggets

234
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:38,960
and the reason why I brought up the offense the

235
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,480
offense is having it to change things. Kelly had talked

236
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:44,799
about that last week in I think Immediate Labidy Beartt

237
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:46,519
can see that read and they have to do a

238
00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:48,639
better job at disguising, and then a Rod talked about

239
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,360
that the defense is disguising a little bit more embarrassed,

240
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,840
starting to have to think, you know, double check at

241
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,080
the line and still making the right decisions taking the

242
00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:58,480
check downs and not turning the ball over. All of

243
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:01,759
that breeds a good football team. It just it builds

244
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:03,720
you that And in too, Caline's points to, you know,

245
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:05,879
push it back a little bit and stay objective in

246
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:08,519
middle ground. They haven't played a game yet. They have

247
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,879
to go put it together. They have to. They're gonna

248
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:12,679
and I'm pulling up the schedule again and Brett, you

249
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:14,600
might beat me to it, but Utah Tech, I think

250
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,799
it's gonna be September fifth. That's the That's the first game,

251
00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:21,360
Like it's all you're preparing for. That that is exactly

252
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,559
what you're preparing for. And nothing's gonna be said and

253
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,960
stone until then. Even then, even if you do beat

254
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,320
Utah Tech, I mean, is that gonna tell you anything

255
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,039
about yourself? Not really, because after that you play Arizona

256
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:33,840
week two. Is that gonna tell you anything about yourself? No,

257
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:36,320
you play Colorado State. Matt Mitchell went over there as

258
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,200
the quarterbacks coach, giving a little tease from my interview tomorrow. No,

259
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,919
you don't like that. That bye is September twenty sixth,

260
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,159
early in the week. Maybe you need that, But you

261
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,480
hit the row for your first game against TCU. What

262
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:49,279
would the horn Frogs be after losing Josh Hoover, What

263
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,799
does Sunny Dyke's program look like? You have no idea.

264
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,759
Iowa State lost their entire like their best players, their

265
00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:58,240
coach to you know, Penn State. You wonder if that's

266
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,960
if you can beat them. You don't know, they can

267
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,120
be better than anticipated. Then you take on the fighting

268
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:05,320
norder Dames. You have no idea what no one knows

269
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,519
what BYU is going to look like. We have an idea,

270
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,360
we think, but that's why they go play. And I

271
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,799
bring it up of well, by excuse me, basketball, everybody's

272
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:16,279
gonna say, no, Ron, that's not Look, if Bear goes down,

273
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,720
LJ goes down, that changes things drastically. It really does.

274
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,240
Now I think that obviously. You know football is the

275
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,600
most codependent sports. There's a lot of the things that

276
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,279
have to happen Brett. But you know, losing Richie, that's

277
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,840
like you know, losing or LJ. I feel like a

278
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,720
good running backer.

279
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:31,919
Speaker 6: You know.

280
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know if I can say Bear, but

281
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,399
that it's equivalent. It's a big piece or losing like

282
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,600
maybe Bruce Mitchell. Your offensive line injuries can deplete a tam.

283
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:41,879
I'm not saying that's what's going to happen. But what

284
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:43,840
I'm saying, my point is, and stay with me, is

285
00:12:43,879 --> 00:12:47,600
that we we think BUYU having expectations rightfully, so after

286
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,240
what they've done with the talent on this roster, with

287
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,120
what they have coming back, that all has to click

288
00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:56,200
and I think they will make it click. But unforre

289
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,480
unseen circumstances always happen. Whether that's injury or this off

290
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,919
the field stuff in the classroom, you don't know, and

291
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,879
those are just things that are unexpected that you just

292
00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:06,519
have to deal with as they come with Let's get

293
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:09,720
back to the sound. This is Kline Sataki yesterday at

294
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:13,279
media availability discussing with the media springball.

295
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 7: And just to follow up on that, colign Uh with

296
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,399
the I'm sorry my trampon. You noted that you're trying

297
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:21,440
to find the next defense corre even when Jay was here.

298
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,919
Do you did a little bit with the entire staff

299
00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:26,679
because you've got now the assistant position coach, the analysts

300
00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:29,279
where if there's ever a guy that leaves, you've got

301
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:31,320
the next aligne who's primed and ready.

302
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,279
Speaker 4: To take over. Yeah.

303
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 5: And then and we have guys that have been here

304
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,840
as gas and analysts that have moved on and our

305
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:40,519
coaching and other places. I just think that there's got

306
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,879
to be a desire for these guys. I mean, if

307
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:45,840
it was up to me, I wouldn't want to lose anybody.

308
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,000
Just stay here the whole time. But you know, I

309
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
think when you when you aspire to do to be

310
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,039
the guy who's calling the plays on defense, and then

311
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,360
you know, it'd be smart for k Pop to think

312
00:13:57,399 --> 00:13:59,679
about himself as a head coach too. I mean, that's

313
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:01,879
kind of the progression how it goes. I hope he

314
00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:03,960
stays here the whole time with me, you know, when

315
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,000
I'm the head coach. But I think it'd be foolish

316
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:09,279
for me not to think that these guys could see

317
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,480
themselves in a different position, and it possibly be in

318
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:15,120
the head guy sometime. I would be doing them no

319
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,080
favors if I didn't, if I didn't put that out

320
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,320
there for him to get after it. And so there's

321
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,320
nothing wrong with with wanting to do more. I just

322
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,679
want them to be like focused on what we're getting

323
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,799
done here. The best thing Kate Paup could do to

324
00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:30,480
be a head coach is be a great coordinator.

325
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,159
Speaker 3: I'm stopping at there. We're coming back because that was powerful. Brett.

326
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,879
I'm sorry for caught you in the middle of your

327
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:40,639
drinking water. But here's the thing. The reason why you

328
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,759
knew Jay Hill was leaving was not only that comment

329
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:46,559
from Kilanie. Jay Drew the Desert News asked him when

330
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:48,000
we were at the pop Tarts Bowl. I was in

331
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,279
the room he did, and Klanie said, I'll let Jay

332
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:53,759
speak for himself and Colanie there was no upset emotion.

333
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,279
It was all peace of mind. And I said, yep,

334
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,879
that's it right, And that was my speculation of it.

335
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,000
Nothing was said, nothing was official, but you know, it

336
00:15:02,039 --> 00:15:04,440
sounded like things work pretty quickly after Bau won the

337
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,320
pop Tarch Bowl. But I wasn't surprised. And Kalanie is, Look,

338
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,360
Klonie will rebuild, and he is doing that, but he

339
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,799
just said it. I'd be doing them at disservice. These

340
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,120
guys all want to be head coaches. Klanie knows that,

341
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,080
sure would like him to stay with him. It goes

342
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,159
the same thing of this this job, RTT, like, I'll

343
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,600
just compare it. Look, I've been producing you know here

344
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,279
the station for five years. I've been with Ben for

345
00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:26,039
a very long time as executive producer for three years.

346
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:29,120
You know, all good things come to an end, better

347
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,399
opportunities come. That's just how it is in life, right,

348
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,279
you know, you pick up the goal stor but in

349
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,279
coaching gets the same way. And Klanie understands that, you know,

350
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,399
And I just use myself as an example. Same with you,

351
00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:41,120
right Like you know you worked at BYU TV that

352
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,200
and then your opportunities come out. You know, I remember

353
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,279
you at the hockey club.

354
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: I bring that up.

355
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:47,639
Speaker 3: That's how things go. You know, you work hard where

356
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:49,559
you're at so you can get that promotion and get

357
00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:51,679
the better job. And that's how it is. But Klinie's

358
00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:53,360
point is right. The best way Kelly can become a

359
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:55,080
head coach is like what j Hill did, be the

360
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,440
best defensive coordinator. And then the calls will come. And

361
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,879
now I'm always interested to know bru it's Kalanie. You know,

362
00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:02,600
people call him, Hey, should we uh tick Kelly as

363
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:05,200
a head coach? I don't think Kilanie is accepting those calls.

364
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,879
And I'm being tongue in cheek when I said it,

365
00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:08,840
but I believe Colone's vouching for these guys. You know,

366
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,519
he wants them all to be head coaches. I think

367
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:14,240
he has no problem with seeing the people on his

368
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,120
staff get those jobs and being happy for them because

369
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,320
you see j Hill, right, Jay Hill's going to be

370
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,600
a head coach, maybe even in the Big Ten, rightfully so.

371
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,360
And that's because he came to b YU. It wasn't

372
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,679
just because of what he did at Weaver State as

373
00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:28,600
a head coach. He came to a P four institution

374
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,360
as a DC, excelled it, uplifted it, put talent any

375
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,039
NFL in that defense still have high level recruits that

376
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,200
are here. And then what happened after that, and now

377
00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:38,919
Kelly Pipingka accepts a job and the same thing. But

378
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,600
to your point, and I'll let you speak on it

379
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,799
and then we'll go to break You said it. The pipeline,

380
00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:45,960
Nick Saban's pipeline is amazing. Go look at it. It's fantastic.

381
00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:48,960
I think Kilanie's doing the same thing you say. Obviously,

382
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:51,399
Kyle Whittingham and Michigan people might not like it. I

383
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,440
said that, but that's the point. I love that, Kilane.

384
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,600
You know, there's no type of entitlement, there's no type

385
00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:00,759
of anger. But also at the same time, be focused

386
00:17:01,039 --> 00:17:03,159
and lift where you stand, be present, where your feet

387
00:17:03,159 --> 00:17:05,160
are at. But at the same time, after you've done that,

388
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:08,119
when that opportunity comes, he understands it and he's willing

389
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,000
to wish you well and he loves you and knows

390
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:11,039
that you worked hard as well.

391
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I just said, like Nick Saban probably wanted

392
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,440
to keep all those guys.

393
00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: You can't.

394
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 8: But it's the sign of being a great coach that

395
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,000
you elevated everyone on your staff. Like, the reason we

396
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:26,839
knew Jay Hill was leaving was not because anything Klannie

397
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,440
did or didn't say, you know what, you know how

398
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,519
we knew Jay Hill was gonna leave because he was

399
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:34,599
a freaking awesome defensive coordinator. And anytime someone gets really

400
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,200
great at their job or really popular. Dave Portenoy talks

401
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,599
about this all the time. When he hired Pat McAfee,

402
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,440
he's like, dude, we knew Pat McFee was gonna leave

403
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,880
someday because of how great he is at its job,

404
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:44,960
at his job, And so.

405
00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: That's just a fact of life.

406
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:51,079
Speaker 8: If you're a great manager, you uplift those around you,

407
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:53,319
and when they eventually move on, like, you're bummed to

408
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,519
see him go, but you're so happy to have had

409
00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:57,920
them a part of your life and everyone else is

410
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,680
is infected as a result. And so yeah, it sucks

411
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,319
that Jay Hill had to leave, But someday we're probably

412
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,319
gonna say that about Kelly Papinga. The reason that Penn

413
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,920
State was even interested in Kalonay Sataki is because he's

414
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,599
a freaking good ball coach, and so true it is.

415
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,680
It is a bummer that people want you, But if

416
00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:21,559
they want you, it's because you are like that. It's

417
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,240
because you are that good, like people want to take

418
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,640
what's yours because it is that great. And so if

419
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:35,079
that's the kind of energy that continues to infect this building,

420
00:18:35,279 --> 00:18:39,400
that continues to infect biu's players and coaching staff and

421
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:41,279
just the culture as a whole, then they're set up

422
00:18:41,319 --> 00:18:43,839
for success for a long time coming.

423
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 3: Yep, long time coming. Let's finish up the sound they

424
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,279
we'll get to break. This is Kline Sataki from yesterday

425
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,799
Media Vality Springball.

426
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 6: And I know there's another pretense of day Turneys showing

427
00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:55,240
up here.

428
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 3: I thought that's how i'd tell you about it.

429
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so Isaiah's been I mean, Isaiah's playing the

430
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,440
the CFL, so he's, you know, on his off time,

431
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,440
he's coming here and training, and he likes being in

432
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:06,839
the in the in the community, and he wants to

433
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:10,720
learn more. And so I love having him around here.

434
00:19:10,759 --> 00:19:13,160
You know, he has a great relationship with our guys

435
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,279
and so, uh he comes in there and he's learning

436
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:18,039
as much as he can. He's he's trying to understand

437
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:20,039
the game. He's already increases for by Q and so,

438
00:19:20,519 --> 00:19:22,559
I mean he can be a coach easily. I just

439
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:23,759
he's still playing.

440
00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 4: He's young.

441
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: Become a culture and you get old like me and

442
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:28,519
you and your body doesn't function well, you know. So

443
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:31,359
but yeah, I love having I love having those guys

444
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,759
around and and uh, you know, it was good last

445
00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:35,680
week and seeing a bunch of the alumni come through,

446
00:19:36,279 --> 00:19:38,559
and we'll start seeing more of the older alumni come

447
00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:40,880
through there as they all start getting ready for the

448
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,240
alumni you know game next week.

449
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 4: None of them are working out until about tomorrow.

450
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 5: Then they'll start stretching and getting ready for you know,

451
00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:50,599
hopefully not to pull anything next week when when it's

452
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,400
their time to shine.

453
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,599
Speaker 6: What does like? What does like when they come from here?

454
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,799
And then Connor Page for the last year, I'm sure

455
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:00,319
they're saying a lot of the same things that you,

456
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,319
you and the assistant coaches are saying to the guys,

457
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,680
but does it almost make a different coming from somebody

458
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,000
who's maybe a little bit closer to these guys age

459
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,559
some of them, some of the some of them are played.

460
00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:14,079
Speaker 4: With back sort of just sort of right, some of

461
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:14,440
them are.

462
00:20:16,039 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think I think when when guys

463
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,160
and then they're familiar with the guys that have just graduated,

464
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,480
you know, and so there's already a connection of teammate connection.

465
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:27,599
Obviously once they get here and then they come back

466
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,559
as as graduates and they've exhausted their eligibility, then we

467
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,000
want them to head towards that professional relationship, but there's

468
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:37,400
always a connection. I mean, that's it's just good to

469
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,680
see our guys come back home and so anytime they

470
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,400
can do that. And there's a lot of cool things

471
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,799
that Bagno has learned in the in the Canadian Football

472
00:20:43,839 --> 00:20:45,240
League that he's really helping us out with.

473
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 4: Right here, you have anything one more for Jacob.

474
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: What he's gone through to get himself back on the field,

475
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,480
and just kind of gratifying that as.

476
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 5: Opposed to yeah, No None is back to his old

477
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,519
self and I'm so excited. Man, it's just it's gonna

478
00:21:01,519 --> 00:21:04,200
be nice to have him and and you know, and

479
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,480
LJ be ready to roll by the time we get

480
00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:08,519
the fall. But it's been really great for us to

481
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:11,200
see him here in spring get the bulk of the

482
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,720
rest because because LJ is still still recovering. But that

483
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,359
and then you're adding like you know, Devaughan and and

484
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,400
and you still have like Logan and and all those guys,

485
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,279
I mean, you Pressed and the guy. The guys can

486
00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:27,519
still play. So Harvey's done a great job with that group.

487
00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:30,200
And None is like he's like a he's a he's

488
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,640
a one of the older guys now you know, he's

489
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,119
married and all that stuff. So uh, it's good that

490
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,440
he's he went from being one of the youngest guys

491
00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:38,799
now to like one of the oldest.

492
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:45,039
Speaker 4: And that's kind of how it works, all right, That's that's.

493
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,039
Speaker 3: Kind of how it works, right, And there you go.

494
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,039
That is Kalani Sataki and that is how it works. Brett.

495
00:21:50,079 --> 00:21:51,480
That's a good note to end on. See you anymore

496
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,319
running back one in spring ball. But he's back. He's back,

497
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,119
is running back to Klanni And look, I know I'm

498
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,799
reading between the lines, but None, he's back to his

499
00:21:59,839 --> 00:22:02,839
own and look, everybody said if healthy he was RB two.

500
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,519
He's healthy, right, But I still think you need to

501
00:22:05,599 --> 00:22:07,559
keep an eye on and I've said this before, and

502
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,240
Brandon sy Ernie, if he's listening, he'll back me up

503
00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:12,799
on it. If you get ding once, you could get

504
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,240
dinged again. That's just the nature of it. So look,

505
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,279
obviously you don't wish injury upon anybody, but running back

506
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,720
is the most brutal beat up position. You want to

507
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:25,440
make sure that you have guys. So yes, LJI. When

508
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,759
those guys are healthy, they are so they're performing rightfully,

509
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:30,440
so they should be talked about. But he also mentioned

510
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,200
Devon Neca. Sounds like Devon Necka is going to be

511
00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:34,799
running back three or there could be an Ornex Tora's

512
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:37,400
name of pres and Rex and Logan. So we'll see

513
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,759
all those guys. I think he contributed one way or another.

514
00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:41,920
Didn't hear about Joveessa de Mooney, but I know he's

515
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,319
in the mix two. Anyway, all those guys I think

516
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,960
you need this year in some way, shape or formance.

517
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,559
So we will see what happens. But that reading between

518
00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:51,000

Clark on the line Cam. How are we doing today? Brother?

575
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,559
Speaker 10: Thanks for joining us, doing pretty good. Glad to join

576
00:25:28,599 --> 00:25:28,920
you guys.

577
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: Of course you were there last night, saw you in action,

578
00:25:32,319 --> 00:25:34,480
caught some pictures of you. Sorry to spy on you

579
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,319
a little bit, but I couldn't. I couldn't help. But

580
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,640
see how gorgeous. You were in the in the suits

581
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:45,240
and and doing your job. BYU women's basketball defeated MISSOO

582
00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:48,960
last night. What did you see from the Lady Koogs.

583
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,759
I believe this is the only team in the state

584
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,680
that's still playing basketball. But they they dubbed Missouri last night.

585
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was a blowout in the first quarter of

586
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,359
twenty eight at one point in the first quarter eight.

587
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,119
Missouri didn't do much to keep it close early on,

588
00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:08,680
and they clawed their way back later on, but b

589
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,400
YU pulled away early in that first quarter. Cambrie Barber

590
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,119
and Delaney Gibb were a large part of that, and

591
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,839
listening into some of the huddles, one of the big

592
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,880
takeaways just from that first quarter alone is Missouri their

593
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,720
shot selection was just not great shots. Lee Kamard has

594
00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:29,799
talked about how he he prides himself and their defensive ability,

595
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:32,519
and Missouri knew that coming in, and they just bought

596
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:35,359
the pressure on Missouri and Missouri couldn't find any good

597
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,279
shots and they were leaving BYU wide open. So that's

598
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:39,640
why they jumped out twenty eight to seven.

599
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 7: Early.

600
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, they jumped out really fast. The threes were falling

601
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,759
and It's interesting because it looked like Missouri didn't want

602
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:48,799
to let BYU play in transition and once once they

603
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,559
put up a shot, they were just getting back. But

604
00:26:51,079 --> 00:26:53,160
BYU still was able to play and transition the way

605
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,440
they wanted and blew the doors off.

606
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 10: Yeah, a lot of that too. You talked about, you know,

607
00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:00,440
just get a shot and head back. You know, I

608
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,440
think even on the offensive side of the ball, BYU

609
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:05,160
is getting a ton of offensive rebounds. Cambrie Barber came

610
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,640
away with three offensive rebounds in that game, and you

611
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,400
may not think or you might not think that's a

612
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,960
whole lot, but for her, she grabbed a double double

613
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,880
eleven points, twelve rebounds and is doing some of the

614
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,720
prep for that game. She's in the ninety seventh percentile

615
00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:21,759
in the nation and offensive rebounding opportunities meaning you know,

616
00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:24,960
the available offensive rebounds when she's in the area. She's

617
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,880
one of the scrappy players that's going to go in there,

618
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,400
grab the offense or grab the offensive rebound and kick

619
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,960
it back out. And you saw a large part of

620
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,920
BYU a lot of second chance points coming because of

621
00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:37,599
Barber and GiB even got it down a couple offensive

622
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,920
rebounds Binali got an offensive rebound late in the game.

623
00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:43,519
Everything was just working on all cylinders for BYU And

624
00:27:43,559 --> 00:27:47,000
as far as the transition goes, BYU averages over ten

625
00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:49,039
steals a game. You know, It's a lot of back

626
00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:51,160
and forth in the Big twelve, lots of turnovers from

627
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,720
both teams, but it was really nice to see BYU

628
00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:58,359
won not turn the ball over much themselves. And two,

629
00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:01,519
like you said, get there quick. A lot of three

630
00:28:01,559 --> 00:28:04,599
pointers went up town and Gibb career high seven three

631
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,319
pointers in that game. She was money from deep.

632
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,759
Speaker 3: She's ridiculous. She hits a thousand thousand points in her

633
00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:16,559
career in fifty seven games. Cam describe what was the

634
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:18,559
atmosphere like for her. It feels like it was a

635
00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:21,519
weight lifted off of her shoulders to finally have that achieved.

636
00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:23,279
It seems like that was in the back of her

637
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,200
mind coming into the game because you're a player, you know,

638
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,000
but they never want to focus on it. They want

639
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:30,000
to win the contest. But it seemed like after I

640
00:28:30,039 --> 00:28:31,720
don't think she was going out for that, you know.

641
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,000
I think she just played a great game because she's

642
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,039
a phenomenal player. But it seemed like that was in

643
00:28:36,079 --> 00:28:37,279
the back of her mind and kind of could have

644
00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:39,400
been poking the pok pokner a little bit.

645
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think she knew kind of at least, you know,

646
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,720
maybe not going into the game, maybe at halftime when

647
00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:49,400
she had sixteen points. I believe at the half she

648
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:52,720
probably had the idea of, hey, I'm pretty close to

649
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:55,400
a thousand. When I was talking with her after the game,

650
00:28:56,599 --> 00:28:58,839
you know, she she didn't sound surprised. I asked a

651
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,079
question about her seven three and she had no idea

652
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,839
that she'd made that many. So with not having as

653
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,880
big of a reaction when asking her about her thousand

654
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,640
points makes me think that she probably had a little

655
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,160
bit of a little bit of an idea just on

656
00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:17,720
what the you know what the occasion was. Again, those

657
00:29:17,759 --> 00:29:21,000
seven three pointers helped her a lot, and it was

658
00:29:21,079 --> 00:29:23,519
just a great atmosphere last night. Still not a whole

659
00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:26,640
lot of people in the crowd. I know coaches are

660
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,799
hoping that you know, here coming up at least for

661
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,880
this next game, that they'll be able to get a

662
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,160
bigger audience there in the Marriott Center as they take

663
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,799
on Stanford, And we'll get to their preview a little

664
00:29:35,799 --> 00:29:39,640
bit later. But it was it was just exciting to

665
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,240
see how much energy was able to be there with

666
00:29:42,319 --> 00:29:45,240
how empty almost the Marriott Center looked.

667
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was crazy because the vibe of when I

668
00:29:48,319 --> 00:29:50,680
was sitting there, you know, in the media section, is

669
00:29:50,759 --> 00:29:53,279
still felt like when Billie was hitting threes, you could

670
00:29:53,319 --> 00:29:55,759
hear people, you know, I obviously Mazoo kids behind me

671
00:29:55,839 --> 00:29:58,200
have missed the free throw, so it seemed that way,

672
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,920
but for not a lot of people. But there's a

673
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,680
a lot of the big dogs in attendants. When I

674
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,079
said big dogs, I mean obviously the BYU athletics personnel

675
00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:09,000
or you know, those of the University Bron Santiago court

676
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,279
side saw him a VP of Advanced McKeith Vorkin and

677
00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:15,599
his wife where their Tom Homo and Lorie Homo were there.

678
00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:20,640
Obviously President Shane Reese was in attendance. He had Hadeen

679
00:30:20,759 --> 00:30:23,799
Boop and John Lenehan court side. Robert Wright the Third

680
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,079
and Tyler Russ and Xavion Styton were present as well.

681
00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:30,880
A lot of people were in attendance to watch this game.

682
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,599
It felt like at least at the court side level.

683
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,359
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's a large part to what Leaks

684
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,440
of already has done with the program. This year. He's

685
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,039
at twenty four wins now on the season, ties Judkins

686
00:30:42,119 --> 00:30:44,839
for the most in the first year the EYU history.

687
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,480
And Lee's done such a great job with this team,

688
00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:50,759
turning it around for a team that really struggled last

689
00:30:50,839 --> 00:30:52,559
year and even the year before that. They had a

690
00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:55,200
hard time adjusting to play in the Big twelve. You know,

691
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:58,160
they were comfortable with the play in the WCC when

692
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,839
they were playing teams like lmu and and Saint Mary's,

693
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,880
gonzag and Portland, but that transition to the Big twelve

694
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,480
was really hard for this team. They seemed to take

695
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,880
a little bit longer to adjust than the rest of

696
00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:13,880
Qubar Sports. And so this transition now with Lee Kamar

697
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,680
here in year one has been incredible. He's pushed the girls,

698
00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:20,640
Delaney said in her postgame interview last night. He's been

699
00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:23,799
very personal with them. Impersonable, I guess is the better word.

700
00:31:24,079 --> 00:31:27,119
That he gets to know them. They're not just his players,

701
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,279
but they're you know, they're they're a team, including himself.

702
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,359
And so Lee's done a great job at Their offense

703
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,880
is very fast paced, you know, they dropped ninety three

704
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,119
points last night, and granted Missouri's defense is definitely not

705
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,400
a strong suit, ranking two hundred and forty eight out

706
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,880
of the three to fifty five Division One teams, but

707
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:51,400
still to put up ninety three points, knocked out fourteen

708
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,680
to threes last night, shooting forty one percent from the

709
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,359
three point line. If you're gonna do that, you're gonna

710
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:55,920
win ball games.

711
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,839
Speaker 3: You are gonna win ball games. They're gonna need that

712
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,519
as they can go deeper into the b B I T.

713
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,119
We got Cam Clark on the line with us a

714
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,880
by a TV salide reporter and he does the Cougar

715
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,279
Sports and her updates here for us at ESP and

716
00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:11,920
the fan fan excuse me, Cam? How far can this

717
00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:14,880
team go? Can Lee take this team? You mentioned Cambri Barber.

718
00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:18,519
They call her along with Brinley Cannon the twins. I

719
00:32:18,599 --> 00:32:20,480
feel like you're gonna need those two like to be

720
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:22,480
the X factor. You know what you're gonna get out

721
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,359
a Banali. You know what you're gonna get Olivia Hamlin.

722
00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:27,160
Delaney's always on the scatter and report regardless of what

723
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,079
it is. But I feel like it's those other two

724
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,799
that really can carry not Carrie, but really helped by

725
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,079
you add to the stat sheet. If they want to

726
00:32:36,119 --> 00:32:37,599
really go out, go out and win this thing.

727
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 4: You know.

728
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,359
Speaker 10: Cambri Barber is an interesting story. She was in your

729
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,920
the very beginning of the year. They mentioned that she

730
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,079
could barely get through, you know, and you know, just

731
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:50,640
a couple practices earlier in the year without having to

732
00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:56,960
take a rest again. But I loved watching and even

733
00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:02,480
I'm blinking on her name, Cannon, Britley Cannon, She like

734
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:05,279
both of them, were on the boards all night long.

735
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,119
Britley Cannon at one point was on triple double watch.

736
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,920
And so it's it's a fun team to watch, especially

737
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,119
those two. But I think the X factor to this

738
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,720
team is is their centers, Laura rocl and bullet YUSAF.

739
00:33:18,279 --> 00:33:22,640
They're sixteen and oh when either one of those two

740
00:33:22,839 --> 00:33:25,240
score ten plus when they're in double When they're centers

741
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,680
in double figures, BYU has won every single game. I

742
00:33:29,759 --> 00:33:32,039
think I think it draws the defense all of a sudden,

743
00:33:32,039 --> 00:33:34,799
The defense has to start looking down low, realizing that

744
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,160
that's you know, a viable option to kick it down low.

745
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:41,799
And you know, they're not drawing up you know, most

746
00:33:41,839 --> 00:33:44,680
most teams aren't drawing up plays for for their center

747
00:33:44,759 --> 00:33:48,359
to score. But when those opportunities come. Rocal's top five

748
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,160
in BYU history and single season field goal percentage, so

749
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:53,440
she's gonna make it when she gets the ball down low.

750
00:33:53,519 --> 00:33:57,359
Bullet Yusuf has been incredible. She's, in my opinion, one

751
00:33:57,359 --> 00:33:59,960
of the most one of the more one am I

752
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:02,119
trying to say, one of the most improved players on

753
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,079
this team from beginning of the year to now. Just

754
00:34:05,119 --> 00:34:08,159
as a freshman watching her, she really struggled to even

755
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,920
just with the fundamentals at the end of the year

756
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:12,559
to now where she's star coming off the bench, she

757
00:34:12,599 --> 00:34:15,800
can provide valuable minutes. She had six rebounds last night,

758
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,960
two blocks, and only kept it to three fouls, which

759
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,679
has been a struggle for her and Rocal with only

760
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,480
two fouls as well last night. They stayed in the

761
00:34:24,519 --> 00:34:26,960
game while they only combined for ten points for two

762
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,199
of them. Like I mentioned earlier, you get one of

763
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,679
them to ten plus buys won every single game this year.

764
00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's a good stat and they're gonna need

765
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,679
that in a play from those whose you said, you said,

766
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,559
you know they're sinners, Well, they're about to play a

767
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:44,519
team that has won a national championship in the last

768
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:46,519
five years that has been there. They have a team

769
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:48,639
that you know, you think of Cameron Brink. You go

770
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,519
back to that, like, there's a lot of talent that's

771
00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:53,440
come through Stanford that's play. This is a team that's

772
00:34:53,519 --> 00:34:55,440
kind of on it down here, right. They were eight

773
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:57,920
and ten in conference, you know, twenty one. I think

774
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,559
in like thirteen or fourteen. Overall, not a bad basketball

775
00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:03,599
team they have. You know, they're about five hundred on

776
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,039
the road. But give us the scout on report on

777
00:35:06,119 --> 00:35:07,920
this team. I feel like the bigs are going to

778
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,360
be I feel like they're top heavy. I could be

779
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,440
wrong in that assessment. What has your your preparation told

780
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,920
you about who the Stanford women's about excuse me, Stanford

781
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,400
women's basketball team is.

782
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, so you mentioned, you know, a national championship within

783
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,199
the last five years, you think of Cameron bring. This

784
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,719
team's a lot different than in those teams. And I

785
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,639
just mentioned that they no longer have Tara Vanderveer at

786
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:31,519
the head, one of the all time greatest coaches in

787
00:35:31,639 --> 00:35:34,000
all of college basketball. She retired after the twenty twenty

788
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:36,800
four season, but Kate pay their head coach, has been

789
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,960
with the team, you know since two thousand and seven.

790
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,400
In an assistant coaching role. They promoted her after Van

791
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,960
der Beer retired. She was player on the team under

792
00:35:46,039 --> 00:35:48,679
Vanderveer and from ninety one to ninety five, and so

793
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,920
it's not like the program changed a whole lot. But

794
00:35:51,199 --> 00:35:53,880
obviously when you lose a head coach like Tara Vanderveer,

795
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,599
who's one of, if not the greatest coaches in women's

796
00:35:56,599 --> 00:36:00,360
basketball history, you know there's there's gonna be a bit

797
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,239
of a drop off. And that's what you've seen from

798
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,880
them over these last two years. You know, they're not

799
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,159
quite as strong moving from the Pac twelve. And it's

800
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,920
still shocking to me that they're in the ACC. With

801
00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:12,039
all the travel that they have to play, Especially with

802
00:36:12,119 --> 00:36:14,599
basketball where you're playing multiple games a week, that's got

803
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,719
to be tough just on the wear and tear, and

804
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,480
so it's tough just to get in a rhythm when

805
00:36:21,519 --> 00:36:25,000
you're traveling that much. But their most recent game against Quinnepec,

806
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,639
they had six players in double figures, and so they're

807
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,000
a team that they may not have one big star,

808
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,719
but they have lots of girls who can get in.

809
00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:40,400
They won that game by twelve, and lots of different

810
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:41,440
players can make a difference.

811
00:36:42,199 --> 00:36:44,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, they definitely do. I mean, Courtney Ogden can light

812
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,679
it up. You know, the junior from Atlanta, Georgia. There's

813
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,480
a bunch of people, Chloe Clardy like, they got a

814
00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:53,599
bunch of girls. I think they got what one, two, three, four, five,

815
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,599
six players that come in average in above ten. So

816
00:36:57,079 --> 00:36:58,519
this is going to be a good test. This is

817
00:36:58,559 --> 00:37:01,400
a good test. I have to wonder cam if they

818
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,920
are able to get Stanford and go to the semi final,

819
00:37:04,519 --> 00:37:06,199
can they win this whole thing like this? I think

820
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,239
this is going to be their biggest test, not just

821
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,880
of the tournament, it's one of the seasons. Just when

822
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,920
you think of the history, what do they need to do?

823
00:37:15,039 --> 00:37:16,760
What's the keys to the game to be able to

824
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:17,920
get a victory on Thursday.

825
00:37:19,199 --> 00:37:20,559
Speaker 10: I think a lot of it's going to come again

826
00:37:20,599 --> 00:37:22,639
from the defensive side of the ball. Stanford's can score.

827
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,599
They've proven that they are averaging a similar not of

828
00:37:25,639 --> 00:37:28,599
points per game as Missouri, who we know has you know,

829
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,800
it didn't almost it didn't look like it a lot

830
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,559
last night, but they got a killer offense. Stanford's got

831
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:36,960
another one as well. You have player coming off a

832
00:37:37,039 --> 00:37:40,320
career high in alex Eshmeier. Their center who's in there

833
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,679
at six five, so a little bit taller, and some

834
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,880
of the players BYU has faced so far this year,

835
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,519
so you're gonna have to watch out for number four again,

836
00:37:47,559 --> 00:37:51,480
that Alexander Eschmeier. She played twenty six minutes last game,

837
00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:55,199
eighteen points, only grab five rebounds though, but she was

838
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,960
six for seven from the field, two for three from

839
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,440
three point land. So they can stretch out bigs that

840
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,760
can stretch out the floor and hit those threes.

841
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,039
Speaker 8: And so with.

842
00:38:04,119 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 10: Stanford, really it's just going to be how much can

843
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,199
you limit They're almost the spread of the ball right

844
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,320
if you can. If one person goes off, you know

845
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,320
that's not the end of the world. But you have

846
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,800
to be sound defensively. You have to be able to

847
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,960
know who you're guarding, whether you're a man or zone,

848
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,960
be able to make sure that multiple players aren't going off.

849
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 3: Make sure to scoutter reports locked in. Hopefully we're able

850
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,880
to talk with BAU Women's assistant Paisley Johnson as well.

874
00:39:28,679 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 2: CAM.

875
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 3: Thanks for your time today at BA Women's basketball advances

876
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,719
to the semi final. We might have to hit you

877
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:35,119
up and have.

878
00:39:35,159 --> 00:39:37,159
Speaker 10: You back on thanis sound good?

879
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,159
Speaker 3: Look forward to of course, we'll let you go. That

880
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,559
was Cam Clark. That was a little college basketball segment. No,

881
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:45,679
we didn't have an opportunity to be able to discuss BYU.

882
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,239
But Lee Kamard want to highlight lead does a great job.

883
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,960
Fantastic job with this program. They've come a long way.

884
00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:54,280
I think the biggest thing about Lee's retention and the relationships,

885
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,679
Like Cam says, you don't retain all these players if

886
00:39:56,679 --> 00:39:59,559
you don't have a relationship. And I know there was

887
00:39:59,559 --> 00:40:03,000
always some skepticism about the higher in the beginning, but

888
00:40:03,119 --> 00:40:05,039
I'm gonna say it right now. I was always a fan.

889
00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:07,679
I thought this was the right move. He's great, he's

890
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,599
cut his time, and look, it was the right decision.

891
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,400
Lee Kamar was the right hire for BAU women's basketball.

892
00:40:14,599 --> 00:40:16,159
And it's playing out well, and you hope that they're

893
00:40:16,159 --> 00:40:18,119
able to make a deep run and they get Stanford

894
00:40:18,159 --> 00:40:20,760
and go to the semi final, head to Wichita. That's

895
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,480
gonna make some national headlines, I believe for sure. Let's

896
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,360

This beautiful Tuesday, March twenty fourth edition of Cougar Sports

920
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,800
Along the Wallstat's front. It's beautiful outside. I'm gonna take

my family on a walk later. Man, I'm loving this weather.

922
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,159
The only thing I wish we could do is that

923
00:41:34,199 --> 00:41:37,360
we could be doing the show outside and not inside.

924
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,440
This Insider report speaking of inside, is going to be

925
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,079
brought to you by Big Otiers an American Fork. If

926
00:41:42,079 --> 00:41:45,280
you're looking for the honest, hardworking, cost transparent mechanic that's

927
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,239
also a big BYU fan. Ryan Eldritch is your guy.

928
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,119
Look took care of the car yesterday. I got an

929
00:41:50,119 --> 00:41:53,079
oil change, souped it up, took care of it nice.

930
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:54,719
This is the guy that you want to go to.

931
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,400
You get the best ROI you want. Some people don't

932
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,639
have honest people that can trust in the world in general,

933
00:41:59,679 --> 00:42:02,559
but it's really hard to find that person who's an

934
00:42:02,559 --> 00:42:06,079
honest mechanic. And Ryan is the person that I've taken

935
00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:08,639
everything to it. So the only reason my car runs

936
00:42:08,679 --> 00:42:11,079
the right way, I'm gonna promise you and declare and

937
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,519
say it on this Tuesday, March twenty fourth, if your

00:42:13,519 --> 00:42:15,000
car breaks down is because he didn't take it to

00:42:17,199 --> 00:42:20,159

944
00:42:27,599 --> 00:42:29,400
and hook it up the Big Old Tires located at

Big Old Tires AF per Yahu Sports. In the recent weeks,

947
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,559
momentum has shifted towards by U's aj Debonsa as the

948
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,920
quote most likely choice close quote as the number one

949
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,960
pick in the twenty twenty six NBA Draft, ahead of

950
00:42:46,039 --> 00:42:50,400
Darren Peterson camera Boozer per ESPN's Jeremy Wu. De Bonsa

951
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,840
led men's college basketball in points with twenty five point

952
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,840
five points per game. That's crazy. Recorded thirty five points

953
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,519
in ten rebounds in ba's first round lost to Texas. Look,

954
00:42:59,519 --> 00:43:01,519
I'm gonna go to the conversation I had last year

955
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,639
BYU played Utah. I was talking with the scout from

956
00:43:04,639 --> 00:43:07,039
the Indiana Pacers. Won't say his name, but I had

957
00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:09,280
asked us, said, Hey, dude, do you guys care if

958
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,159
these guys make a deep turn to run and said, no,

959
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,679
don't care. Is just want to see how they play

960
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,039
in the pressure moments. How do they do? What are

961
00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:18,400
they able to do? Like winning? It's nice to win,

962
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,599
but no, that's not what we're looking forward to. We're

963
00:43:20,639 --> 00:43:22,840
looking to can they handle what's strowing at them in

964
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,400
the atmosphere? And AJ did that thirty five and ten.

965
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,280
So look, we discussed it in the first hour. It

966
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,280
was a little fire, a little spicy. For better myself,

967
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,199
it was great. You can get it on the podcast

968
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,920
if you missed that hour. But the point of what

969
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,480
I'm bringing up is that BYUS got what it wanted

970
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,159
out of aj debons, and I think AJ got would

971
00:43:41,159 --> 00:43:43,159
have won out of BYU when he's the number one

972
00:43:43,159 --> 00:43:46,000
pick when this all happens later in the summer or

973
00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:48,239
early in the summer and they call with the first

974
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,400
pick in the twenty twenty six NBA draft, whoever it is,

975
00:43:52,519 --> 00:43:56,079
selects aj de bonsa Bring Them Young universe. When Adam

976
00:43:56,119 --> 00:43:58,840
Silver announces that it's gonna put all of it to bed,

977
00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:01,000
it's not gonna matter how much was how much was

978
00:44:01,039 --> 00:44:02,920
he paid for didn't matter, b what you got a

979
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,440
first round next. I know people look at fans are

980
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,719
gonna be upset, Hey, you should have gone deeper. Yes, injuries, Yes,

981
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,280
the guys that are on the roster maybe didn't play

982
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,679
as best as they should have. But that's what's that's

983
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,960
gonna that's why Bruce Branch is here, and it's gonna

984
00:44:14,039 --> 00:44:16,559
keep happening, and slowly but surely, Kevin Young is gonna

985
00:44:16,559 --> 00:44:18,199
have this thing built up. You gotta remember, Kevin Young

986
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,719
is a year two of a college coach, and there's

987
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,920
a lot of pressure. And there's guys that have been

988
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,119
doing this for years, like Rick Patino and John Colapario

989
00:44:26,159 --> 00:44:27,639
in the sweet sixteen, and that's some of the oldest

990
00:44:27,679 --> 00:44:31,760
