<v Speaker 4>But just means I'm old, right, eighty seven ish, I

10
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 4>came in eighty nine, eighty nine.

11
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 3>I got you by two years. But you're all over

12
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 3>the map in this town, as you like it. You're

13
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 3>one hundred years old and you're still out there doing

14
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 3>your stuff. I am one hundred years old. You feel

15
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.799
<v Speaker 3>like you're twenty five. How's that leg of yours, foot

16
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 3>of yours?

17
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Whatever?

18
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 4>The well, I tore my achilles tenant, So going through

19
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 4>the rehab done everything which is rehab is tough. Well

20
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 4>it was in the beginning. It's now next week is

21
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.799
<v Speaker 4>probably my final week. I'm getting I'm graduating. That's it's

22
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:04.680
<v Speaker 4>like what three months, four months? It happened July fourth,

23
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 4>so four months. So I've got I go three days

24
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 4>a week to Body Central and it's you know, it's

25
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, as I sit here right now, I definitely

26
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:16.879
<v Speaker 4>feel it. You know when when you tear your achilles

27
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 4>and they sew together to the tendance, that's probably not

28
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 4>a good thing.

29
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm hurting already listening to it. But you're you're and

30
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 3>you did it dirty. Can we see how you did it?

31
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:24.400
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

32
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 4>I did it playing pick a ball and that's not

33
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 4>it's not uncommon. Well, it's no. If you talk to

34
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.879
<v Speaker 4>the people in the emergency rooms and orthopedic doctors, there's

35
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 4>a lot of pickleball injuries and can you.

36
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 3>Could you have prevented it? I'm even by comparing to

37
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 3>do it.

38
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 4>I took a step and the other foot wouldn't go,

39
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 4>so there wasn't an action that occurred. But I could

40
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 4>have prevented it by stretching. Okay, that's what I mean.

41
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 4>And you know, you know I played basketball, pick up

42
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 4>basketball for what twenty thirty years, never stretched, just strapped

43
00:01:57.959 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 4>it on and just went out and played.

44
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>But with this this there's a lot of different.

45
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 3>Moves movements, right, you wouldn't think that, right, The quick

46
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:06.239
<v Speaker 3>quick motion back and forth.

47
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Well that's where it is. The hurky jerky and you know,

48
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 4>even tennis. Here it's more of a flow, you know basketball,

49
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 4>you're not jerking. But could I have prevented it. Probably,

50
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 4>But let's just say I'm officially retired after after what

51
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 4>how many months? After playing maybe six seven times? Yeah, no,

52
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 4>I get it. I'm sure you're having fun too. I

53
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 4>actually did enjoy it, and it definitely was fun.

54
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Ready to get compete against Tommy Lloyd in the book.

55
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 2>No, I wouldn't say that. No.

56
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, welcome to the show, mister Mike Vader. Mike Fader's

57
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 3>with me today. We got Kobe here with me. I'm

58
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 3>running the board to helping getting help from Kobe. Kobe

59
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 3>will have some breaking news right to the top of the hour,

60
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:49.759
<v Speaker 3>and Mike and I will shoot the Yes's.

61
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 4>Bill Belichick interviewing for a North Carolina job count is

62
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 4>breaking news?

63
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 2>Uh, it's broke news.

64
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I don't know, is he?

65
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 4>I just can't see somebody at his age going back

66
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 4>into college.

67
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 2>How old is you?

68
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 3>So did you guess what mister coach Brown was? No,

69
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 3>I understand twenty four No, no, But but I've asked

70
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 3>you this. I don't know. You want to stay old

71
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 3>your dot you want to say old you are.

72
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm seventy two.

73
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 3>I asked of the kids, asked of people, how old

74
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 3>is old?

75
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm not sure it's the old, but it's the change.

76
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 4>And you know, change all of a sudden. And if

77
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 4>you coach an NFL team, not to make it selling,

78
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 4>that's easy.

79
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you're just coaching, you.

80
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 4>Know, you're not doing all the administrative stuff if you're

81
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.719
<v Speaker 4>if you're the coach of a college football team, now

82
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 4>you're dealing with the nil, you're dealing with the transfer portal.

83
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 4>There's going to be a new rule rule next year

84
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.360
<v Speaker 4>on money going to athletes. Uh.

85
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>And you know players.

86
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 4>I can remember reading what Nick Saban said and and

87
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 4>he said I just couldn't take any more players, backup

88
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 4>players walking into my office and saying how much money

89
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 4>they're going to make?

90
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Right? You know, as opposed to why don't you earn

91
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 2>your playing spot?

92
00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 3>Sure?

93
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 4>Sure, and it's and I I just hate that world

94
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 4>right now. You saw the Virginia coach Tony Bennet, because

95
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 4>very successful, not an old coach.

96
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 2>Sure sure.

97
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 4>So it's you know, Brent Brennan, I'm sure we'll talk

98
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 4>about you of a football he said, I mean the

99
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 4>transfer portal is going to be huge on what they

100
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Speaker 4>have to achieve because his comment was we need to

101
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 4>get bigger and stronger.

102
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 2>Sure, most of the teams we played, they were all

103
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>bigger than we were.

104
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 3>You've been at the u A football games for years now,

105
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 3>doing your capacity right.

106
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 4>You have a chance to watch every now and again.

107
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 4>I oversee the Sands Club since they opened it. I

108
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 4>try and sit down and watch games. But do I

109
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 4>watch it carefully?

110
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 6>No?

111
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't so. But you could.

112
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 3>Gauge the compass, or you can gauge the weather of

113
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 3>that room, the hoity tony crowd.

114
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 2>I'll say it's one of the more expensive areas.

115
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 3>And I'm sure you've heard the rumblings or the positive

116
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 3>negatives blah blah blah. I'm sure you plenty positive last year.

117
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 3>This year not so much. What did you hear?

118
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know people are disappointed. I mean, obviously they're disappointed.

119
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>You know they you know.

120
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 4>It's it's for us. The way they express it is

121
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 4>they leave. You know, they might leave it halftime, they

122
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 4>might leave in the third quarter. But we've also played

123
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 4>some late games and that's not good for trying to

124
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 4>get people to stay around, but for us in the

125
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 4>Sands Club.

126
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 2>It's the bar.

127
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 4>You know, people people could drink and and and in

128
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 4>a full bar. So it's it's it's as much social

129
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 4>as it is anything. But obviously there's people complain. I mean,

130
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 4>I have to listen to my son complaining. You know,

131
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 4>I just said, you know what, you know, you don't

132
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 4>fire coaches after one year. I'm sorry, you know, you

133
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 4>got to. He came in in January last year, coach Brennan.

134
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 4>He really didn't have a chance to build his own program,

135
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 4>per se. I mean, he's grabbing transfer portals, getting Sandy

136
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 4>State guys, uh and Santose State actually did pretty good

137
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 4>under the former Navy coaches here. But it's it's a

138
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 4>it's a tough business and and I think he is

139
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 4>in the hot seat next year. Sure, but you know,

140
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.439
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure you know you cover this every day. You know,

141
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.519
<v Speaker 4>he made the choice that he's getting three new coordinators.

142
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

143
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 4>You know, I think Dino Baber's was just helping out.

144
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, he just wanted to try to, you know,

145
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 4>to get in here and see what he could do

146
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 4>to help. I'm glad that Dwayne and Kena is still

147
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 4>going to stay in some capacity.

148
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I think with the secondary.

149
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 4>I actually read one of the incoming recruits saying he

150
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 4>changes his recruiting from Texas State to U of A

151
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.680
<v Speaker 4>because of coach a Keina. I saw that, you know,

152
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.560
<v Speaker 4>so I love I love a Quina's enthusiasm. You know,

153
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 4>just watching how excited he is in the sideline. They

154
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.920
<v Speaker 4>respect the hell out of him. Yeah, so it'll be anxious.

155
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Brendan's got it. He's got to make moves.

156
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.199
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't I personally, you know, I got

157
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 4>tired of some people saying needed to get rid of them.

158
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:11.560
<v Speaker 2>They don't need to get rid.

159
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Of Well, here's the Mike Cuban in sports all this time,

160
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.680
<v Speaker 3>and I hear those things too. My problem with that

161
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.519
<v Speaker 3>is the people who are saying that aren't digging in

162
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.000
<v Speaker 3>their pockets to help nor to help pay the damn thing.

163
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 3>You know they have. They have opinions, that's great, fine,

164
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 3>but you fire the guy, Okay, help come up with

165
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 3>the money to.

166
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Pay the game.

167
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, and our athletic department is not in a position

168
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 4>at this point exactly to be paying off contracts. So

169
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 4>it's you know, it's at least he stayed positive. I've

170
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.800
<v Speaker 4>enjoyed what I've read and heard over the last two days.

171
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 4>Uh and and I'm glad a lot of the players

172
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 4>have maintained their recruitment, that they're their commitment to come here.

173
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Some guys say they're coming in early in the spring,

174
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 4>but the transfer portal opens next Monday, right.

175
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh so we'll say, I mean, it's so crazy.

176
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 4>I was talking to somebody about this even earlier today.

177
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.360
<v Speaker 4>When you if you're a big time recruit and you're

178
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:12.879
<v Speaker 4>the second or third string guy on a good program, Oh,

179
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.319
<v Speaker 4>you got to get out of there. You know, I

180
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.720
<v Speaker 4>got to get out of it. That's what does that mean?

181
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, earn your spot.

182
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:24.879
<v Speaker 3>That that's lingo was gone. It's been gone for a while, sadly. Yeah, yeah,

183
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.560
<v Speaker 3>no question. I'm curious. And we'll get back to that.

184
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Because because Brennan had a press commerce on the on

185
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.240
<v Speaker 3>the Zoom call the day I was on it, I

186
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 3>had a question, but I didn't ask it at the end.

187
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.720
<v Speaker 3>And then I'll say why, But to your point, what

188
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 3>did you What does your son say, because that's the younger, younger,

189
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:42.000
<v Speaker 3>get rid of them crowd?

190
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:46.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, my son's forty two, uh and I know it's

191
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:51.919
<v Speaker 4>and he basically says, oh no, they're not doing whatever

192
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 4>it does. And I said, Nate, you know it's not

193
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 4>what you do. You know, you were not in a

194
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.879
<v Speaker 4>university that that we could just do be doing things

195
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 4>like that. And then so when I'm talking to him,

196
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.200
<v Speaker 4>I talking to him about the positive things about you know,

197
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.799
<v Speaker 4>the recruiting. You know, he would send me messages from

198
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 4>Twitter of what's going on. Well, no, about the good

199
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 4>things you know about guys signing, you know, and guys

200
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.840
<v Speaker 4>you know being at the National you know the one

201
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.919
<v Speaker 4>and you know this a thousand times more than I do.

202
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 4>I kind of laughed that the one quarterback hasn't signed yet. Well,

203
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.679
<v Speaker 4>the truth is we got two quarterbacks and the recruiting

204
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.879
<v Speaker 4>and I don't like that personally because and I know

205
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.039
<v Speaker 4>the guys fizzle out.

206
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, Dorman Ly's the backup quarterback.

207
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 4>But I don't, you know whatever, the guy we got

208
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.679
<v Speaker 4>sounds like he's pretty good, the one, the one that signed, correct.

209
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, the other guy's being chased now by the

210
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 3>other schools.

211
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 2>You know what I found interesting?

212
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:02.600
<v Speaker 4>And I'm old school, well and I'm old Uh what's

213
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 4>your first name?

214
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:04.879
<v Speaker 2>Cody? Kobe?

215
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 4>You know, I'm sure Kobe doesn't even read a newspaper.

216
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.600
<v Speaker 4>But you know, it was interesting yesterday to read hegh

217
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 4>age weight and then to see what other people offered scholarships.

218
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.200
<v Speaker 4>Uh and and and we got some guys that were

219
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 4>offered by some pretty big time schools.

220
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:23.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

221
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Uh, you know I left when we get the guys

222
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 4>out of Phoenix and they were offered by Arizona State.

223
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.240
<v Speaker 4>You know when they say they were offered, does it

224
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.320
<v Speaker 4>really mean it was a sincere offer or or they

225
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 4>were kicking that they were kicking the tiers.

226
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:42.279
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, my guy Christy Brinkley was asking about me. Uh,

227
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, I had a chance, you know, yeah, right,

228
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.200
<v Speaker 3>they say that they went.

229
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 4>Actually thought you're really doing well, and when that was

230
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.320
<v Speaker 4>the case. But but you I know exactly what you're saying.

231
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 4>Everybody has this. Well they you said, flipped uh from

232
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 4>Texas State. Okay, well that's not Alabama, No, that's Texas State.

233
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.600
<v Speaker 4>But there was one guy and I remember his name,

234
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 4>that was recruited by Alabama, Alabama, Florida State ASU. I'm

235
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 4>at least glad to see that those goals.

236
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Are interested in players. Right.

237
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.159
<v Speaker 3>One of the things today on zoom he went about

238
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 3>fourteen fifteen minutes and it's a zoom thing and the

239
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.759
<v Speaker 3>locals are asking the question. And he talked about changes, right,

240
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 3>the changes you had just mentioned my whole thing. And

241
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:25.720
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna ask him and I didn't.

242
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Is okay.

243
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.240
<v Speaker 3>He said he was going to look in the mirror

244
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.759
<v Speaker 3>on Saturday after the game. He was, you know, very forced, right,

245
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 3>very candid about his situation, which was very refreshing, and

246
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:35.679
<v Speaker 3>he said, I'm look at the mirror, you know, look

247
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 3>at what it needs to be done. I wonder what

248
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.879
<v Speaker 3>the changes within it himself need to be done. And

249
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.320
<v Speaker 3>I say this because you've been around coaches all your life,

250
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:47.240
<v Speaker 3>right in your capacity, You've seen give me twenty twenty

251
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 3>five coaches at the baseball.

252
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.360
<v Speaker 4>Level, managers all right, well, Pat Murphy, yeh, so.

253
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so you've seen these great ones of it, and

254
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 3>some of them are are not good. You know, you

255
00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:59.799
<v Speaker 3>could probably main right, if you had twenty five, you

256
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:02.159
<v Speaker 3>can give me five bad ones. But they're in that

257
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 3>capacity where they're not good people people, Well you're not.

258
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.559
<v Speaker 4>You know, you got to own the locker room. You know,

259
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:13.320
<v Speaker 4>it's because you're building the chemistry. For me, that part

260
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 4>of the game is sometimes just as close as physical

261
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:19.559
<v Speaker 4>talent on the field, no question, because no question that

262
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:20.960
<v Speaker 4>that determines approach.

263
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.279
<v Speaker 2>And how are you gonna do it? I mean do we?

264
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 2>You and I you probably more than me. You know.

265
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 4>I read somebody complaining, well, the weight program wasn't as

266
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 4>good as it was the year before.

267
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Somebody credible. No, okay, just some guys. You've got heard that.

268
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's just well, somebody's knew somebody whose son played

269
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.759
<v Speaker 4>on the team's cans with my wife. My wife reads

270
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.600
<v Speaker 4>all those stupid comments, and you know, and I said,

271
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:54.759
<v Speaker 4>these people they're not credible. They're people who are cowards

272
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.279
<v Speaker 4>and they want to put there with a crazy name,

273
00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 4>and they're not going to even identify themselves as meaningful

274
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.120
<v Speaker 4>very much. That's what I hate about society right now

275
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.279
<v Speaker 4>in sports. I mean, I'd hate to be in your

276
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:08.919
<v Speaker 4>business right now, because there's too many experts, too many

277
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.240
<v Speaker 4>people write blogs that shouldn't be writing blogs.

278
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, even the other.

279
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Speaker 4>Day, I mean the Fafita thing, I mean, who got

280
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.240
<v Speaker 4>that one started that he's leaving.

281
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:20.960
<v Speaker 3>One of the guys. Yeah, I kind of believed it

282
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.879
<v Speaker 3>because another source kind of repurposed that and it and

283
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 3>people are still hanging on to that that could be

284
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 3>very well true.

285
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.639
<v Speaker 4>Well my son, my son obviously shares Oh my god,

286
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.639
<v Speaker 4>Forfita is leaving, don't believe it. And then the local

287
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.840
<v Speaker 4>the people you know who post talk to Fefita's dad

288
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 4>and they said and they said, oh, Fefeite is in

289
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 4>the building working out right now.

290
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:45.919
<v Speaker 2>So where's he going.

291
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:51.039
<v Speaker 4>So I think if you keep a Fafita just like

292
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 4>you did last year, he keeps a lot of the nucleus,

293
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:59.639
<v Speaker 4>you know, that Polynesian culture the West Coast. I think

294
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 4>it is an important oh, no question to keep him.

295
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.960
<v Speaker 4>And talked about it, and I think is probably disappointed

296
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:06.720
<v Speaker 4>with the year he had.

297
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, well, no question. He was to get better.

298
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 3>He'll have to get better. Well offensive line didn't help him, No, no,

299
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:14.519
<v Speaker 3>And then you talk about owning the locker room. I

300
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:17.159
<v Speaker 3>think part of that was he's new, right, Brendan's new.

00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:46.120

317
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:51.080
<v Speaker 3>They to his six and six. Okay, so to his

318
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 3>credit or whatever. Uh, they lost a lot too. They

319
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.159
<v Speaker 3>lost a lot too. And it's tough coming in as

320
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.679
<v Speaker 3>the first year, without question, and that's what the situation

321
00:14:58.840 --> 00:14:59.159
<v Speaker 3>was here.

322
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.519
<v Speaker 2>My whole thing look at as how you can build

323
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.720
<v Speaker 2>two years? Yeah right, well you could.

324
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:06.799
<v Speaker 3>You can have the fanciest cars and all that stuff,

325
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.120
<v Speaker 3>but if you can't get from pointing to point, what's

326
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 3>what's the point? He did in two years? And maybe

327
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:14.039
<v Speaker 3>he too struck lighting a bottle. We'll see.

328
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:18.080
<v Speaker 4>If I'm just Joe fan, and and I'm saying to

329
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.799
<v Speaker 4>myself last year, how do you bring in a guy

330
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:22.399
<v Speaker 4>that young and Kemy Dillingham?

331
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 3>What does he do? Well, he's proved me wrong this year. Right, Well,

332
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.000
<v Speaker 3>let me tell you, and you may or may not

333
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.600
<v Speaker 3>agree with me. To me, he's Josh Pastor. He's Josh

334
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:36.120
<v Speaker 3>passionate to the t. Just the enthusiasm, the things he says. Uh,

335
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:38.279
<v Speaker 3>obviously the kids want to play for him or play

336
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:41.279
<v Speaker 3>hard for him, But is that sustainable.

337
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 4>That's the whole world, that is anything sustainable nowadays?

338
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.679
<v Speaker 3>And that's my point.

339
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, I I don't know if we're in a

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Can you hear me? Brad? Yes, Brad? Can you hear me? Brad?

453
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Can you hear me? Technology?

454
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 3>He got off, He's no, That's why I'll have to

455
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:30.119
<v Speaker 3>call him back.

456
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:31.240
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

457
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what See, that's what it is. When you

458
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.319
<v Speaker 3>couldn't hear, you could hear. But we'll ask Brad about

459
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:39.440
<v Speaker 3>what things going on. He's kind of in tune with

460
00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:41.599
<v Speaker 3>what's going on with the with the football program in

461
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.559
<v Speaker 3>terms of recruiting and all that that. With this with

462
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 3>his podcast, I'll have him call us actually.

463
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.720
<v Speaker 4>Uh And if I could just preface what I was

464
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.160
<v Speaker 4>saying before, it was just as a fan, I mean,

465
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.359
<v Speaker 4>there was It's not like Steve, oh yes, being on

466
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.920
<v Speaker 4>the inside and then being on the press conferences, I

467
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:00.720
<v Speaker 4>was just kind of just giving out servations of what

468
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.319
<v Speaker 4>I saw. So like Brad and Steve and people like that, Uh,

469
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.119
<v Speaker 4>they really know the insight as opposed to me just

470
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:09.319
<v Speaker 4>being on the on the end. Well, for me, when

471
00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:12.119
<v Speaker 4>I was asking you, I was more of what you've

472
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:13.960
<v Speaker 4>seen with writers and people.

473
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Your Brad, can you hear me? Okay? Great, thanks for

474
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:23.599
<v Speaker 3>coming back, mister Brad Alice. Good to hear from you.

475
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:25.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure you're keeping up with what's going on with

476
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:32.240
<v Speaker 3>the football and basketball programs. Where do you want to start?

477
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.720
<v Speaker 3>How about now? Can you hear me?

478
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

479
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:40.599
<v Speaker 3>I can hear you. I'm not sure why you can't

480
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:44.720
<v Speaker 3>be Okay, let's talk.

481
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:46.480
<v Speaker 4>Maybe we can see you can't hear me, Guys know

482
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:48.319
<v Speaker 4>I can't hear I can hear you.

483
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Fine, Okay, I just heard them. Okay, good, okay, So

484
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 3>where do you want to go first? Let's go basketball first,

485
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.279
<v Speaker 3>then le's talk football. What what do you see in

486
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:58.759
<v Speaker 3>this program that we've seen for a long time? Well,

487
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:02.319
<v Speaker 3>I have my two two key misses. What do you

488
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:03.160
<v Speaker 3>see that's missing?

489
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.400
<v Speaker 6>First and foremost there the primer defense is really bad,

490
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.680
<v Speaker 6>and that's been one of the few criticisms I've had

491
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.960
<v Speaker 6>for Tommy Lloyd over the past few seasons is their

492
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.759
<v Speaker 6>ability to you know, they're constant switching, their ability to

493
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:22.079
<v Speaker 6>fight under screens which these guys open.

494
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:24.480
<v Speaker 7>And the problem is, even if you would just and tighten.

495
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 6>That up, if a guy gets hot early, he stay easily,

496
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.160
<v Speaker 6>stays hot, he builds that confidence and then he starts

497
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.799
<v Speaker 6>taking logo threes and things like that. Secondly, I think

498
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:35.319
<v Speaker 6>there's just a couple of guys who don't look like

499
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:36.680
<v Speaker 6>they're any better this year.

500
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:39.319
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you know, some of that to understandable.

501
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:41.559
<v Speaker 6>Crevious is hurt for a long time. He's still probably

502
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.119
<v Speaker 6>not one hundred percent, but you know, you've seen some

503
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.400
<v Speaker 6>other guys. kJ Lewis doesn't look vastly improved. Caleb Love

504
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:51.599
<v Speaker 6>has actually regressed from where he was for most of

505
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:54.400
<v Speaker 6>the year when he was a PAC twelve Player of

506
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:56.680
<v Speaker 6>the Year, So that's a concern to me.

507
00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:57.440
<v Speaker 7>The only guy who.

508
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:01.160
<v Speaker 6>Really looks noticeably better who was with the program last

509
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 6>year is Jaden Bradley. Yeah, and then his defense hasn't

510
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:06.200
<v Speaker 6>been quite as good.

511
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.839
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, No, I agree with every point you're making.

512
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:12.200
<v Speaker 3>My two things is when you mentioned originally or the

513
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.799
<v Speaker 3>first one was the defense on the perimeters, absolutely horrible.

514
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:18.799
<v Speaker 3>Teams are killing them on the perimeter, and even when

515
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:20.799
<v Speaker 3>they try to get back, the other teams are getting

516
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:24.359
<v Speaker 3>back better than they get back, which you know is

517
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:27.160
<v Speaker 3>rarely happens in the years that we covered him, right

518
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:32.440
<v Speaker 3>for a number of years. That and two, this team

519
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.160
<v Speaker 3>hasn't been able to go in transition. They don't score

520
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:37.960
<v Speaker 3>very many transition points. And since you were a kid

521
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 3>and I was covering them, what was the signature for loot?

522
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.079
<v Speaker 3>Get out and score eighteen to twenty four points in transition?

523
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Blow away the teams and let's let's see they can

524
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:49.680
<v Speaker 3>make a comeback. And that's not the case now.

525
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:53.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, when you can't score in transition, you can't force

526
00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:55.960
<v Speaker 6>those turnovers.

527
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:57.920
<v Speaker 7>And again you know Sean, Sean didn't.

528
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he might steals right, played.

529
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 7>For shot clock, but you can't get on the runs

530
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:03.519
<v Speaker 7>of death.

531
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:06.279
<v Speaker 6>You can't get on those big runs because those are

532
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:09.480
<v Speaker 6>typically you know, everyone talks about what great offensive players

533
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:12.480
<v Speaker 6>were at the U of an that's two, but how

534
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:15.680
<v Speaker 6>many steals did Damon have that led the fast break points?

535
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:17.880
<v Speaker 6>Gilbert or Renis? I mean, that's how he got hurt

536
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.759
<v Speaker 6>in the one final four was the steal at the

537
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:25.240
<v Speaker 6>top of the key. You know, that's how Arizona basketball

538
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:28.640
<v Speaker 6>has been when it's been at its best, is using

539
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.279
<v Speaker 6>defense to offense, and this team just hasn't.

540
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:31.680
<v Speaker 2>You know.

541
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:33.759
<v Speaker 6>They don't seem to get that key rebound with the

542
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:35.720
<v Speaker 6>outlet pass, they don't get the steel at the top

543
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:37.319
<v Speaker 6>of the key, they don't get that.

544
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:40.119
<v Speaker 7>Block shot that leads to a transition.

545
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:43.720
<v Speaker 6>And yeah, Arizona tends to have always been a transit

546
00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:46.519
<v Speaker 6>even under Sewan when they did go on transition, they

547
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:49.720
<v Speaker 6>were very effective and they build up those big runs, right,

548
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, that just hasn't been happening with this group.

549
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Is it something?

550
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, here's here's my issue with when people ask Bill

551
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 3>about that, and I say that's my number one issue. Okay,

552
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.720
<v Speaker 3>so it's brass playing me and that's what I do. Well,

553
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:04.480
<v Speaker 3>guess what Brad's gonna do prevent that from happening. Right,

554
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:06.920
<v Speaker 3>So I need to ship the ball better from the perimeter.

555
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:10.359
<v Speaker 3>I got to be better on defense. So it sounds easy,

556
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:11.640
<v Speaker 3>but is it fixable?

557
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:17.200
<v Speaker 7>So that's what my question is. They're I mentally talented.

558
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:21.200
<v Speaker 6>My fear is that they are built like a Steve

559
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:23.519
<v Speaker 6>Alford and even to a lesson TOI a Sean Miller

560
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.039
<v Speaker 6>team where I used to joke that they were like

561
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.359
<v Speaker 6>getting baseball cards. Got it, got it, needed, got it?

562
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:30.200
<v Speaker 6>You try to get all the good cards. Well, who

563
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.079
<v Speaker 6>cares if they fit together? And my worry is this

564
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.920
<v Speaker 6>team doesn't fit together. Wow, whether you don't have you

565
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:39.079
<v Speaker 6>don't have a Pella Larson, who's a blue guy?

566
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:42.519
<v Speaker 7>You know, can Caleb kJ and Bradley play?

567
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:44.599
<v Speaker 6>And last year they did play together, so they should

568
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:47.440
<v Speaker 6>be able to. But you know it is previous just

569
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:49.680
<v Speaker 6>not the right guy is a walk on his towns

570
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:52.759
<v Speaker 6>and not the right guy. And that's my fear is

571
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 6>because we know they're all individually talented, but you know what,

572
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:57.880
<v Speaker 6>so are some of those Sean Miller teams. I mean,

573
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:01.319
<v Speaker 6>the team that missed the tournament has I think seven guys,

574
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:03.799
<v Speaker 6>eight guys who were playing pro basketball somewhere, whether it's

575
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.480
<v Speaker 6>G League, NBA. Sometimes teams just don't fit together, and

576
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.319
<v Speaker 6>that's my fear with this one. That being said, there's

577
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:16.319
<v Speaker 6>enough talent and Tommy Lloyd's a good coach, if not

578
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:18.880
<v Speaker 6>a great coach, so I think they will get better,

579
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:21.839
<v Speaker 6>but whether they can be the team that we you know,

580
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.920
<v Speaker 6>is going to be a top four in the Big twelve,

581
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:26.680
<v Speaker 6>which means you're top ten in the nation.

582
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:28.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm not sure because.

583
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:33.039
<v Speaker 3>They're certainly not that now, but but they have.

584
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.160
<v Speaker 6>That individual ability. It's can they get them together? And

585
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.960
<v Speaker 6>that leads to my other questions. How important was coach boy?

586
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:43.079
<v Speaker 6>Who was your player development coach? Now you've brought in

587
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:46.000
<v Speaker 6>a much younger coach, a good recruiting coach, but you know,

588
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:49.279
<v Speaker 6>do you you know you don't necessarily have maybe the

589
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.400
<v Speaker 6>coach who can mold them together. You know, Luke always

590
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:55.440
<v Speaker 6>had guys who each had a specific role as an assistant,

591
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:58.640
<v Speaker 6>you know, and and you know the attention to detail

592
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:03.240
<v Speaker 6>was always ross the you know, the hard school put

593
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.000
<v Speaker 6>sometimes scold you like an uncle, put the arm around you.

594
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:06.759
<v Speaker 5>With Rodney, you know.

595
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.880
<v Speaker 7>So each guy had his.

596
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.039
<v Speaker 6>Role and maybe you're missing what coach Foy brought to

597
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:13.440
<v Speaker 6>the to the table, which was player development and maybe

598
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:15.279
<v Speaker 6>some exces and that stuff we don't see now.

599
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.279
<v Speaker 3>Sure you're you're not getting the same excitement on the

600
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.720
<v Speaker 3>sidelines too, the bench because of the coach, because they

601
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:23.880
<v Speaker 3>were they would get after it on the side. In fact,

602
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.519
<v Speaker 3>you talk about glue guy, what about lead guy. There's

603
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:28.519
<v Speaker 3>no captain, there's no leader.

604
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:32.039
<v Speaker 6>What should be Caleb Lover, Jaydon Bradley And I'm not

605
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:35.519
<v Speaker 6>sure yeat either guy has quite betten that guy.

606
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:38.160
<v Speaker 7>So yeah, that is that is a concern.

607
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.759
<v Speaker 6>But they were you know, Love was the leader last

608
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:42.880
<v Speaker 6>year and that was a very good basketball team who

609
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 6>had a bad night against Clemsons.

610
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:49.079
<v Speaker 3>Was was he a leader or leader by via default?

611
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:50.759
<v Speaker 3>Because he scored like he scored?

612
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:53.400
<v Speaker 7>You know, you might be right, we maybe find it.

613
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:57.799
<v Speaker 6>Maybe maybe it was Cayla uh Pela Larson and Kashaw

614
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:00.720
<v Speaker 6>Johnson maybe as you know, two guys in there or

615
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:02.839
<v Speaker 6>early twenties that they were the leaders of this team.

616
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:06.599
<v Speaker 6>And Caleb was just the really good player who wasn't

617
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:07.359
<v Speaker 6>necessarily the leader.

618
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:08.720
<v Speaker 7>And maybe that's what we're saying as well.

619
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:10.640
<v Speaker 3>And then your point, and then if he doesn't score

620
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:12.920
<v Speaker 3>what he scores or plays like he does, he loses

621
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:15.960
<v Speaker 3>some magic, right, we think of him differently. We already

622
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 3>are because he hasn't had that magic. You I think

623
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 3>you talked about this on the air. He's not the

624
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:22.680
<v Speaker 3>same player, no.

625
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:24.519
<v Speaker 6>And he's not getting the line you know a lot

626
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:27.200
<v Speaker 6>of times last year with the change in his game

627
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:29.640
<v Speaker 6>was if he can't shoot his way to a win,

628
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:30.680
<v Speaker 6>he'll he'll drive you.

629
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:32.039
<v Speaker 7>He'll get those big free throws.

630
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:34.599
<v Speaker 6>The other night he had no free throws, he had.

631
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.839
<v Speaker 7>No drives to the hoop that led the contact and

632
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:39.279
<v Speaker 7>led to those cheap points because he's a great powl shooter.

633
00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, it's strange. This team is uh and so

634
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 3>how much of it.

635
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:49.279
<v Speaker 7>Is on Tommy At the end of the day, it

636
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:50.680
<v Speaker 7>is on Tommy because it's his team.

637
00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:52.799
<v Speaker 6>He put it together, he put the roster together, he

638
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.440
<v Speaker 6>hired to replace them coaches, and his job to coach

639
00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:59.160
<v Speaker 6>them out of this funk. And he's certainly capable, or

640
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:01.400
<v Speaker 6>I think he is again, because it's not like he's

641
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:02.720
<v Speaker 6>working with a lack of talent.

642
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:05.759
<v Speaker 7>It's chemistry, it's fine tuning.

643
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:08.279
<v Speaker 6>So but whether getting him out of the funk means

644
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:11.400
<v Speaker 6>they're a nine seed or they're a three seed, I

645
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:11.839
<v Speaker 6>don't know.

646
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:13.839
<v Speaker 7>And this is going to be one of the great

647
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:14.839
<v Speaker 7>challenges of his career.

648
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:16.720
<v Speaker 6>We're gonna learn a lot about Tommy Lloyd this year.

649
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:21.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Hey, Brad, Mike Vader, just crazy question for you,

650
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 4>Wesar Henry Vasar is he going to contribute this year?

651
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:31.119
<v Speaker 6>I think what we've seen from him is what you're

652
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:32.880
<v Speaker 6>gonna get from And he'll have some games where he

653
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:35.000
<v Speaker 6>can give you seven or eight and there's other games

654
00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:37.079
<v Speaker 6>where he won't barely get off the bench. He is

655
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 6>clearly the fourth big. I think he's better than a

656
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:42.920
<v Speaker 6>lot of people thought he was last year when he

657
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:44.480
<v Speaker 6>didn't play it and he was kind of out of side,

658
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:46.400
<v Speaker 6>out of mind. But I don't think he's ever going

659
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:48.960
<v Speaker 6>to be that guy. Maybe they hoped he could be,

660
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:50.839
<v Speaker 6>because there are some people we're talking about him being

661
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:54.599
<v Speaker 6>a fringe for NBA prospect when he came out of Europe.

662
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:55.480
<v Speaker 7>And he's not that guy.

663
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:58.480
<v Speaker 6>Is he a guy who can contribute on a good night, Yes,

664
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 6>but they're also gonna be matchup Nightmare and Knights where

665
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:03.000
<v Speaker 6>he won't He won't see more than one or two

666
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:03.680
<v Speaker 6>minutes on the floor.

667
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:05.039
<v Speaker 7>So I think he is what he is, and that's.

668
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:05.559
<v Speaker 2>A role player.

669
00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 3>So that's funny because I still have my hope for him,

670
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:10.519
<v Speaker 3>but I've been zero for one of my predictions with

671
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:13.480
<v Speaker 3>because I had the kid who went to Borvichin and

672
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:15.240
<v Speaker 3>who went to New Mexico. I thought last year he'd

673
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:15.640
<v Speaker 3>be great.

674
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:16.200
<v Speaker 2>He will.

675
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.960
<v Speaker 3>He didn't play much and vsar who could who could

676
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:22.359
<v Speaker 3>stretch the floor, He can hit three pointers. He just

677
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:24.359
<v Speaker 3>hasn't been able to do that or just hasn't been

678
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:27.000
<v Speaker 3>doing it. But you're right, he is like the third

679
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:27.960
<v Speaker 3>or fourth big coming off.

680
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:28.759
<v Speaker 2>He could.

681
00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:30.680
<v Speaker 3>He can create some matchups for the other team. He

682
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.200
<v Speaker 3>just hasn't been able to do that. You talked about it.

683
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:36.000
<v Speaker 6>He'll have his moments, but I don't think he's a

684
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:39.599
<v Speaker 6>consistent enough presence this year at least where we'll say, oh, yeah,

685
00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:41.440
<v Speaker 6>Henry Besa, that was the sleeper, you know, that was

686
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:44.119
<v Speaker 6>when they put him in the lineup that turned everything around.

687
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:45.519
<v Speaker 6>I don't think he's that guy.

688
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.119
<v Speaker 3>So if Arizona, here's my question. If Arizona is to

689
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.920
<v Speaker 3>succeed to whatever degree success means to you, what needs

690
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:54.880
<v Speaker 3>to happen The one thing.

691
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.119
<v Speaker 6>Honestly, I think it's Caleb Love becoming an All Big

692
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:03.039
<v Speaker 6>twelve caliber player. Yeah, be a guy who is playing

693
00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:04.000
<v Speaker 6>like an All American.

694
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker 7>Whether he you know, he makes the America team.

695
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:07.240
<v Speaker 2>NOPs, we're done.

696
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 6>But he needs to be a guy who four out

697
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.799
<v Speaker 6>of five games is scoring you know, fifteen to seventeen points.

698
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:17.599
<v Speaker 7>He can't disappear in big games. You know, if he If.

699
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:20.000
<v Speaker 6>You're at TCU one night and he gets you eight

700
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.599
<v Speaker 6>and three rebounds, that's fine because you've got enough guys

701
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:22.920
<v Speaker 6>who are.

702
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:23.599
<v Speaker 7>Going to torch team.

703
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:26.279
<v Speaker 6>But when they play Kansas, when they play Iowa State,

704
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:27.920
<v Speaker 6>he's got to be the guy. You got to be

705
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:29.640
<v Speaker 6>one of the best two or three players on the court.

706
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:30.319
<v Speaker 2>You know.

707
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:34.160
<v Speaker 4>Again, I'm speaking as a fan as opposed to you

708
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:38.799
<v Speaker 4>two guys, you know, both being involved. I think the

709
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:41.400
<v Speaker 4>most important thing this year is we have to get

710
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:42.880
<v Speaker 4>back to protecting the home court.

711
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:44.240
<v Speaker 2>You know.

712
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:47.559
<v Speaker 4>I think if you watched last night's Kansas game against Creighton,

713
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.759
<v Speaker 4>create led almost the entire game, and oh, by the way,

714
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:56.799
<v Speaker 4>Kansas was the number one team in the country. I

715
00:32:56.799 --> 00:33:01.440
<v Speaker 4>if we get back to and we almost need the

716
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:05.880
<v Speaker 4>crowd to inspire us and get that fireback and the

717
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:08.680
<v Speaker 4>guys like you guys have been talking about, but we

718
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.200
<v Speaker 4>can't not play well at home if we're going to

719
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:13.799
<v Speaker 4>do anything in the Big Twelve this year.

720
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:15.799
<v Speaker 7>No, you're absolutely right.

721
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:17.880
<v Speaker 6>If they if they win every game we're all but

722
00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:20.279
<v Speaker 6>one at home and go five hundred on the road,

723
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:23.720
<v Speaker 6>they're challenging for the league titles. And that's how I mean,

724
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:25.480
<v Speaker 6>You're not going to have a one or two lost

725
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:28.039
<v Speaker 6>team in the Big Twelve winning it. This isn't You're

726
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:30.400
<v Speaker 6>gonna have three four losses. It's just a meat grinder

727
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:31.039
<v Speaker 6>of a league.

728
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:32.599
<v Speaker 7>But yeah, whoever.

729
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:35.480
<v Speaker 6>Protects their home court the best and sneaks out a

730
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 6>few key wins on the road, there's gonna be the

731
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.440
<v Speaker 6>team that wins this league. So you're absolutely right. If

732
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:42.720
<v Speaker 6>if they make Michale the place it is usually, and

733
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker 6>that's one of the toughest places to play in the country,

734
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.240
<v Speaker 6>the Arizona is going to be in very good shape.

735
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:50.559
<v Speaker 6>If they drop two, three four games at home this year.

736
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:53.440
<v Speaker 6>I don't think they're talented enough or good enough, and

737
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:56.119
<v Speaker 6>the league's too good to make too many of those

738
00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:58.720
<v Speaker 6>up on the road. If you're five hundred on the road,

739
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:00.440
<v Speaker 6>that's excellent in the Big Twelve this year.

740
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:05.240
<v Speaker 3>So let's uh, let's kind of maybe transition to football. Brennan,

741
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:07.720
<v Speaker 3>how does you know zoom press conference today? What did

742
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.400
<v Speaker 3>you make of his his changes on the on the

743
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:12.960
<v Speaker 3>on the coaching situation, and some of the kids that

744
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 3>he's bringing in.

745
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.800
<v Speaker 6>You know, overall, I think the class is solid. It's

746
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:19.760
<v Speaker 6>it's it's not a great class. It doesn't have that

747
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:24.639
<v Speaker 6>four star, five star talent, but it's not. You weren't

748
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:28.559
<v Speaker 6>beating out bad teams for for for for players, and

749
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:32.199
<v Speaker 6>when you did, they were intangible players. You know the

750
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:34.440
<v Speaker 6>kid they just got the commitment from yesterday or the

751
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:34.840
<v Speaker 6>day before.

752
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:36.000
<v Speaker 7>I think it's case in Brown.

753
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:38.679
<v Speaker 6>He's a six four safety. So if you're rolling the

754
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:41.280
<v Speaker 6>dice on a six four safety, okay, this isn't like

755
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:43.599
<v Speaker 6>rolling the dice on a five six wide receiver like

756
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:46.679
<v Speaker 6>rich Rod used to. You know, So they brought in

757
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:51.480
<v Speaker 6>the I think he's six seven, three forty lineman. Okay,

758
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.079
<v Speaker 6>I'll roll the dice on that. I don't care if

759
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:56.039
<v Speaker 6>he's from New Zealand or you know, New England or

760
00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:59.119
<v Speaker 6>you know whatever. Let's let's take roll the dice on that,

761
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:03.679
<v Speaker 6>especially in this day age of more scholarships. The big

762
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:06.320
<v Speaker 6>thing to me is I'm a little surprised they're not

763
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:11.960
<v Speaker 6>making more changes to the staff, because I am not

764
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:15.000
<v Speaker 6>a blame the coach guy. But I will tell you

765
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:18.320
<v Speaker 6>I thought this was one of the worst designed offenses

766
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:19.239
<v Speaker 6>I have ever seen.

767
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:21.880
<v Speaker 7>Because I can't tell you what it is. Was it

768
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.119
<v Speaker 7>pro style, was it I don't know.

769
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:26.519
<v Speaker 6>All I know you have a five to eight quarterback.

770
00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:29.280
<v Speaker 6>You were dropping back twenty yards and then throwing over

771
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:32.880
<v Speaker 6>the top of the line. You know you need to

772
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:35.599
<v Speaker 6>play him, you know, Steve you Ewan, I'm sure Michael Mrcoo,

773
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:39.199
<v Speaker 6>he Smith roll him out, slide that protection.

774
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:41.199
<v Speaker 7>Get you know, get even.

775
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.400
<v Speaker 6>What they did when when Sunny was here with the

776
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:46.400
<v Speaker 6>two and yard splits between the linemens, you can throw

777
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:48.039
<v Speaker 6>between them with a shorter quarterback.

778
00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:51.679
<v Speaker 7>I am couldn't see.

779
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:53.880
<v Speaker 2>The field much this year.

780
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:56.360
<v Speaker 6>No, And I don't mind that because you've real didn't

781
00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:57.480
<v Speaker 6>have anyone behind him.

782
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.440
<v Speaker 13>Right, but you need to you just you know, it

783
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:01.119
<v Speaker 13>was a lot like what.

784
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:03.119
<v Speaker 6>We saw from Khalil Tate when collel Tate was in

785
00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:05.679
<v Speaker 6>the pocket. He couldn't see the middle of the field

786
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.519
<v Speaker 6>and couldn't read the middle I think for feet at

787
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:12.679
<v Speaker 6>times physically could not see those passes five to fifteen

788
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:14.960
<v Speaker 6>yards downfield because of the traffic.

789
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:15.199
<v Speaker 7>In front of him.

790
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:18.119
<v Speaker 3>And it's well the year before he did and if

791
00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:21.199
<v Speaker 3>he didn't see it this year, what makes them next year?

792
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:24.840
<v Speaker 6>How many times though, was he booted out? How many

793
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:27.119
<v Speaker 6>times did he have those quick throws to the perimeter

794
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:31.159
<v Speaker 6>under jetfish? How many times? You know there's some subtle

795
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:33.639
<v Speaker 6>things that I didn't see flighting protections.

796
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:36.679
<v Speaker 3>So here's here's here's a point. Then, Okay, you saw it.

797
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I saw it.

798
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.199
<v Speaker 3>We all saw it, except for the coaching staff. He

799
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:40.960
<v Speaker 3>didn't see it.

800
00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:42.800
<v Speaker 7>And that's my biggert.

801
00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:45.239
<v Speaker 6>There are things Brennan was talking about in week eight

802
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:49.159
<v Speaker 6>that I mentioned in week two, and that to me

803
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:51.360
<v Speaker 6>is the big concern because again, I'm not going to

804
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:53.599
<v Speaker 6>pretend I know as much as coaches. You know, I

805
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:55.800
<v Speaker 6>haven't coached the football game since two thousand and one

806
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:56.719
<v Speaker 6>at TROYA High School.

807
00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:58.159
<v Speaker 7>When you know teams.

808
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:01.039
<v Speaker 6>Did not we're still running the veer. But there are

809
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:03.760
<v Speaker 6>simple things that I'm saying, and that's what I cannot

810
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.000
<v Speaker 6>fathom that was allowed to.

811
00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:07.079
<v Speaker 7>Continue this year.

812
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:10.440
<v Speaker 6>And so that's why when you're only maybe changing one

813
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:13.920
<v Speaker 6>or two offensive coaches, I'm a little concerned. Now, maybe

814
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:16.679
<v Speaker 6>it's all comes down to Baber's in Atkins design of

815
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:19.280
<v Speaker 6>the offense, and it can all be solved with the

816
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:23.239
<v Speaker 6>new offensive coordinator. Great, but I've got I've got concerns.

817
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:25.679
<v Speaker 6>I've got some concerns about the strength and conditioning because

818
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:29.239
<v Speaker 6>there were a lot of injuries that that staff is

819
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:32.599
<v Speaker 6>you know, returning intact One of the things I didn't

820
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:34.880
<v Speaker 6>have a problem with was defensive scheme. I just thought

821
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:38.039
<v Speaker 6>they didn't have enough bodies. And apparently, you know, they're gonna,

822
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:41.480
<v Speaker 6>you know, move guys around on the defense. McKeen is

823
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:45.079
<v Speaker 6>gonna coach DB's in some capacity. Who knows who's gonna

824
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:47.760
<v Speaker 6>wind up as the DC. There's some speculation Danny Gonzalez

825
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:50.719
<v Speaker 6>may get that promotion. If not, they'll bring someone else in.

826
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:52.599
<v Speaker 6>But to me, that to me, it comes down to

827
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.920
<v Speaker 6>offense and health of this football team, and I'm not

828
00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:57.400
<v Speaker 6>sure they addressed enough.

829
00:37:57.199 --> 00:37:57.760
<v Speaker 7>Of that yet.

830
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:02.840
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of that, Bratt is our best recruiting advantage going

831
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:05.760
<v Speaker 4>to be getting our injured guys back healthy. I mean,

832
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:09.840
<v Speaker 4>when you lose captains on defense to season long injuries,

833
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:11.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean you got to you got to maintain that

834
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:15.920
<v Speaker 4>those guys are going to return. But all of a sudden,

835
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:18.519
<v Speaker 4>our secondary was unbelievable the start of the year.

836
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:20.440
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't at the end of the year.

837
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:24.079
<v Speaker 4>We were playing guys that that were just incoming freshmen

838
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:29.880
<v Speaker 4>and transfers and and and I think ultimately excuses. People

839
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.599
<v Speaker 4>always have excuses for injuries, but they're real, and you know,

840
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:39.199
<v Speaker 4>when you lose your starting middle linebacker Manu. Uh, that's it.

841
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:41.639
<v Speaker 4>That's a big difference. And and what do you get

842
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:43.000
<v Speaker 4>hurt celebrating or something.

843
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:46.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was a fluke injury. But yeah, when you lose,

844
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.639
<v Speaker 6>you're getting back in theory, assuming they don't transfer, and

845
00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:55.719
<v Speaker 6>we never know, Jacob Banu, Gunner, Maldonado, Trendon Stokes. That's

846
00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:59.000
<v Speaker 6>three impact guys you can put in. And I'm assuming

847
00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:02.880
<v Speaker 6>Tacario Davis is own pro, but you should get Genesis

848
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:03.480
<v Speaker 6>Smith back.

849
00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:04.840
<v Speaker 7>I know they've made them a priority.

850
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:08.159
<v Speaker 6>With the nil that's you know, a couple of the

851
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:12.400
<v Speaker 6>other guys keenerally looked solid. That's you're instantly bolstering your back,

852
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:15.800
<v Speaker 6>your back six, your back seven with Manu. So yeah,

853
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:18.360
<v Speaker 6>so that's gonna help imntally. You're right, Yeah, that the

854
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:21.079
<v Speaker 6>some of the most important recruits are getting those guys

855
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.119
<v Speaker 6>off injured. And if you can get some of those

856
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:26.159
<v Speaker 6>offensive line men healthier who were in and out of

857
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:28.559
<v Speaker 6>the lineup all year, that's gonna help. Because I was

858
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:30.840
<v Speaker 6>all at the beginning here, I thought the offensive line

859
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:33.280
<v Speaker 6>was the big question mark, and then they got decimated

860
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:36.039
<v Speaker 6>with injuries, and you know, the a couple guys who

861
00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:40.000
<v Speaker 6>had the temporarily leave football. One of them, Laif Magnuson

862
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:42.119
<v Speaker 6>not gonna play again because of some health things with

863
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.400
<v Speaker 6>I think concussions. You know, whether they get Polito back

864
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:48.280
<v Speaker 6>or not, I have no idea, but losing those guys

865
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:50.320
<v Speaker 6>on top of you know, losing Jordan Morgan to the

866
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 6>Pro is really decimating and already thin offensive line.

867
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, Brad, I appreciate you. Where can we find your stuff?

868
00:39:57.239 --> 00:39:59.559

871
00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:05.480

<v Speaker 3>five former players, coaches and friends to give insight to

888
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:48.800
<v Speaker 3>the coach and the man who led them, competed against them,

889
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:51.320
<v Speaker 3>and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his twenty five

890

944
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:16.239
<v Speaker 3>Fortune and fifty. I'm Steve Rovero. You were Mike vader Man.

945
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:18.199
<v Speaker 3>We got about twelve minutes, we went well, we got

946
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:18.920
<v Speaker 3>about eleven minutes.

947
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:19.679
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

948
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:21.599
<v Speaker 3>I want to ask you, so I know you went

949
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:24.119
<v Speaker 3>to coach. You weren't the manager. You've done this for forever.

950
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:28.440
<v Speaker 3>You could probably tell. You could probably tell just in

951
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.519
<v Speaker 3>your walking around observation stuff the good teams for the

952
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:34.320
<v Speaker 3>bad teams, and how much of that chemistry we talked

953
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:37.599
<v Speaker 3>about you talked about is important, if not always important,

954
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:38.800
<v Speaker 3>even in baseball.

955
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Right.

956
00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, I ran minor league teams for thirty years, and

957
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:45.320
<v Speaker 4>I will always tell you not the most talented team one.

958
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Uh, it's it's one. It was with Pat Murphy.

959
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.320
<v Speaker 4>Uh. You know, I and I call the guys, you know,

960
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:55.079
<v Speaker 4>the the grunts. You know, the guys will do the

961
00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:57.840
<v Speaker 4>extra things on the field. And baseball's a little different,

962
00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:01.039
<v Speaker 4>you know, moving runners, uh, taking extra base, taking more

963
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:03.679
<v Speaker 4>pitches to get pictures deep in pitch and pitch counts,

964
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:08.360
<v Speaker 4>doing things like that. But sometimes and it's it is

965
00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:13.199
<v Speaker 4>really different than the minor leagues because the players have

966
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:17.239
<v Speaker 4>an eye on what's above them and and you.

967
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:19.159
<v Speaker 2>Know and what I mean there. So we were triple A.

968
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:23.119
<v Speaker 4>You know, if somebody had a hangnail in the big leagues,

969
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:26.320
<v Speaker 4>the guy in Triple A probably knew. Uh, you know,

970
00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:28.599
<v Speaker 4>if if you had a sore arm, whatever it was.

971
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:32.920
<v Speaker 4>But you can't have the im guys, Uh, if you

972
00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:35.559
<v Speaker 4>want to win, if you want to win, it's got

973
00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:38.840
<v Speaker 4>to be we and that pertains the college sports and

974
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:42.360
<v Speaker 4>it pertains to the NFL. I mean I could tell, uh,

975
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:46.800
<v Speaker 4>guys who are cancer, Uh watch their interaction and you

976
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:51.159
<v Speaker 4>see this. You know, if if you see, you know,

977
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.639
<v Speaker 4>who's the guy who when something's going wrong, who's getting

978
00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:57.519
<v Speaker 4>in the huddle and the coaches isn't there, who's getting

979
00:44:57.639 --> 00:44:59.199
<v Speaker 4>who's jacking people up?

980
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I think that's important to see.

981
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:05.519
<v Speaker 4>Uh, you know, just there are guys that and Brad

982
00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:09.039
<v Speaker 4>mentioned it a little, you know, about leadership and who's

983
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:13.639
<v Speaker 4>gonna step up. And in baseball it was easy for

984
00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:16.199
<v Speaker 4>me to see because we played one hundred and forty

985
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:16.639
<v Speaker 4>four games.

986
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:19.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we got to call hello, you're on the aaron

987
00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:19.519
<v Speaker 3>I on the ball.

988
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Who's this?

989
00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:22.880
<v Speaker 5>Hey, duds? Shall how you doing?

990
00:45:23.079 --> 00:45:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Hey? John good Goods? What do you have on your mind?

991
00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:30.199
<v Speaker 5>So, you know, it's interesting. I was listening to Brad

992
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:34.480
<v Speaker 5>talk and you know, if you're asking what the team

993
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:37.159
<v Speaker 5>is missing or what what has to happen for them

994
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:39.480
<v Speaker 5>to be successful this year? To me, it's getting stopped.

995
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:43.800
<v Speaker 5>When you talk about, you know, our basketball team, it's

996
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:47.880
<v Speaker 5>can we actually get consecutive stops? You know, because there's

997
00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:49.719
<v Speaker 5>gonna be nice where we shoot it really poorly. And

998
00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:51.599
<v Speaker 5>there's the other teams that we're gonna be playing. Are

999
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:56.199
<v Speaker 5>gonna be physically tough and defensive minded teams like Iowa State,

1000
00:45:58.199 --> 00:45:59.719
<v Speaker 5>you know, and if you can play you know the

1001
00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:01.840
<v Speaker 5>one I think not Shawn Milliers teams, as tough as

1002
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:04.000
<v Speaker 5>they were to watch, you were never out of a

1003
00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:06.679
<v Speaker 5>game because they could get four or five or six

1004
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:09.239
<v Speaker 5>stops in a row and you might win a game

1005
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:12.360
<v Speaker 5>fifty five, forty six or you know, sixty two to

1006
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:17.199
<v Speaker 5>fifty one. And if this team has a poor shooting knight,

1007
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:19.519
<v Speaker 5>can they get the stops you know, to sustain a

1008
00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:21.119
<v Speaker 5>bad shooting night and still have a chance to win

1009
00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:21.440
<v Speaker 5>a game?

1010
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:26.159
<v Speaker 3>To me, well, they're zero for four of that category.

1011
00:46:26.199 --> 00:46:28.079
<v Speaker 5>But you know, I feel like the makeup of this

1012
00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:31.719
<v Speaker 5>team actually is more suited to progress and get better

1013
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:35.119
<v Speaker 5>and do those things. You know, we do have bigger,

1014
00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:39.199
<v Speaker 5>stronger guards. Can we actually cohesively come together and get

1015
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:40.079
<v Speaker 5>those stops?

1016
00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:44.480
<v Speaker 3>Does you know, does the does the schedule, I mean

1017
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:47.960
<v Speaker 3>not Saturday Saturday Saturday withstanding, does the schedule scare you

1018
00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:48.280
<v Speaker 3>with that?

1019
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Though?

1020
00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:51.239
<v Speaker 3>Because you've seen them face what three or four quality

1021
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:53.679
<v Speaker 3>teams and lose those quality games.

1022
00:46:55.800 --> 00:47:00.400
<v Speaker 5>You know no, I mean, yeah, yes and no. The

1023
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:03.239
<v Speaker 5>schedule is what it is. But we are still a

1024
00:47:03.320 --> 00:47:06.719
<v Speaker 5>really quality basketball team, and you know we should be

1025
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:09.159
<v Speaker 5>able to compete in those games. But you know, I

1026
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:12.719
<v Speaker 5>watched the Baylor player the other day literally just almost

1027
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.320
<v Speaker 5>bulldoze his way in. You know, I'm getting caught our travel,

1028
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:18.960
<v Speaker 5>But can our guys physically stand up to that and

1029
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:21.400
<v Speaker 5>not just get pushed around? You know, the biggest thing

1030
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:23.199
<v Speaker 5>I've noticed with this team is we don't box out

1031
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:27.559
<v Speaker 5>very well. And to me, that's something that's coachable, but

1032
00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:32.039
<v Speaker 5>that's also something that's problematic. You know, if we're boxing

1033
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:35.440
<v Speaker 5>the guys out, the ball can almost drop on the

1034
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:39.000
<v Speaker 5>ground if five guys are collectively boxing out. But if

1035
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:41.719
<v Speaker 5>guys are standing there these teams that we're gonna be playing,

1036
00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:44.880
<v Speaker 5>they go get the ball. Houston goes and gets the ball.

1037
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:49.960
<v Speaker 5>And so to me, it's defense and rebounding and boxing out.

1038
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:51.760
<v Speaker 5>Those are gonna be the keys. If we can do that,

1039
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:55.159
<v Speaker 5>then yeah, we're tough to stop on offense. But if

1040
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:57.320
<v Speaker 5>we don't, then yeah, the schedule does scare me.

1041
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.320
<v Speaker 3>So, John, I followed the team for thirty five years.

1042
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.599
<v Speaker 3>You've watched it obviously being here and being a big

1043
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:05.119
<v Speaker 3>fan for a long time. How many times have you

1044
00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:11.159
<v Speaker 3>seen an Arizona team be physically physically good? I can

1045
00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:13.360
<v Speaker 3>tell you maybe one maybe.

1046
00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:19.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, I mean that's yeah, that's yeah, you know, I

1047
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:21.360
<v Speaker 5>mean a lot of Sean Millers teams were pretty were

1048
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:23.519
<v Speaker 5>that way. We're built a little bit that way, you know,

1049
00:48:23.559 --> 00:48:26.800
<v Speaker 5>the Rendee teams with Aaron Gordon, I thought, you know,

1050
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:28.880
<v Speaker 5>Kevin Parum, they didn't give up a lot of easy

1051
00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:31.679
<v Speaker 5>buckets at the RAM. You know, but back in the

1052
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:35.480
<v Speaker 5>day we had rim protection and you know, rim protection

1053
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:38.840
<v Speaker 5>does a lot of things to protect weaknesses, and it

1054
00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:41.159
<v Speaker 5>allows Damon to go play the passing lanes when you

1055
00:48:41.239 --> 00:48:44.639
<v Speaker 5>got somebody that can you know, can turn a shot back,

1056
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:48.400
<v Speaker 5>and like, you know, it's interesting, man. I mean I

1057
00:48:48.519 --> 00:48:52.880
<v Speaker 5>watched our teams be really great in November for forty years, right,

1058
00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:57.119
<v Speaker 5>And so maybe this dynamic where we just have to

1059
00:48:57.119 --> 00:48:58.960
<v Speaker 5>grind down a season get a little bit better as

1060
00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:01.360
<v Speaker 5>the year goes on, maybe it's a recipe to actually

1061
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:04.119
<v Speaker 5>be good. Come to you know, come with the time count.

1062
00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Don't make sure, don't wait to call me in March,

1063
00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:10.320

<v Speaker 2>You the checks in the mail. Yeah, I really appreciate it.

1073
00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:38.199
<v Speaker 4>One thing to what you guys are talking about is

1074
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:41.119
<v Speaker 4>a walk of that guy that could bring an attitude

1075
00:49:41.159 --> 00:49:43.639
<v Speaker 4>and bring as looks like it.

1076
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, John, what do you think?

1077
00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:50.400
<v Speaker 5>It's kind of like Caleb though that have tough enough

1078
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:53.760
<v Speaker 5>on defense and Jayden. To me, it's it starts at

1079
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:57.119
<v Speaker 5>the It really starts at the three point line. And

1080
00:49:57.199 --> 00:49:59.280
<v Speaker 5>if you can actually keep guys from getting in the

1081
00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:02.039
<v Speaker 5>lane a little bit, it from basically doing what they

1082
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:05.719
<v Speaker 5>want to, you know. I mean, I think we'll be okay.

1083
00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:08.119
<v Speaker 5>I think we can mix it up with BSAR well,

1084
00:50:08.199 --> 00:50:10.800
<v Speaker 5>not VI Star so much, but you know a little

1085
00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:14.960
<v Speaker 5>bit with with UH, with Creeve us Like there's I

1086
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.719
<v Speaker 5>feel like this team has the potential to actually be

1087
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:21.679
<v Speaker 5>really good come come March. But if anybody can be

1088
00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:24.880
<v Speaker 5>in our guards or they take plays off on defense.

1089
00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:28.840
<v Speaker 5>You know, good teams are gonna exploit that. You know,

1090
00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:31.079
<v Speaker 5>you have to do the little things. You have to rebounds,

1091
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:33.159
<v Speaker 5>you have to play defense, and you have to make

1092
00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:36.920
<v Speaker 5>free throws, you know, not turn the ball over the cheap.

1093
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:39.760
<v Speaker 5>But it's you know, no matter what, they're still gonna

1094
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:41.800
<v Speaker 5>be fun to watch and I love love supporting them.

1095
00:50:41.800 --> 00:50:43.599
<v Speaker 3>Okay, John, thanks for the call. We got to take

1096
