We got Robbie McCombs on the line. 65 00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: Robbie, how you living thanks, Ben. You know I've been better, 66 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,120 but you know, hanging in there after after yesterday. 67 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'm reading through your tweets right now, I'm 68 00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:20,639 gonna retweet all of these kind of postgame commentaries. You said, 69 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,800 disappointing to have the season end this way, but not 70 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:26,360 feeling as down as maybe I expected. AJ was incredibly 71 00:03:26,719 --> 00:03:29,919 complimentary about Byu and his experience after the game. He 72 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,080 will be a great ambassador for BYU will have the 73 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,800 resources to build a good roster next season, and Ky 74 00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:41,719 has learned a lot about roster construction. So you know 75 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,000 everyone's talking about roy right. You know, through this process 76 00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:47,680 we've discussed, Hey, did did b YU get their ROI 77 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,240 did their donor base get their roy on it? I 78 00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:55,960 believe they did. From a branding standpoint, from a marketability standpoint, 79 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,240 from a public relations standpoint, b YU is becoming more 80 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,599 of a household name in the mouths of analysts and 81 00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:07,360 pundits and then maybe amongst recruits, et cetera. So, and 82 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,159 you got a great brand ambassador you mentioned it right there, 83 00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:12,599 a great ambassador. And I think he's going to be 84 00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:15,639 first overall in the NBA draft. And you know what 85 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,160 wouldn't be surprised if he somehow, some way he ended 86 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,120 up with the Jazz. We'll see what happens. And it 87 00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:21,879 sounds like you're on lockstep with me here. 88 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I mostly agree. I mean I I 89 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,600 wrote before this Sason, even before AJ committed, like the 90 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:34,319 reason boosters wanted AJ, I mean one, they wanted a 91 00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:37,519 chance to take Buyu to unpressed at a Heights Bully 92 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,879 had in the four. I mean everybody wanted Bade a 93 00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:42,519 chance to get the final four. So from that, I 94 00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:45,839 mean b A b A didn't get that. But the 95 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,279 other big reason boosters did is what AJ wouldn't mean 96 00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,319 to b YU. And this is where I think the 97 00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:57,160 lasting impact of AJ wall always be. I mean the 98 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,680 boosters wanted AJ because is I mean, that's going to 99 00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:05,639 open doors for BA to get other players. I mean 100 00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:10,240 not just in basketball. The thought process was if a 101 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,360 j De Bonsa can choose BYU, why can't star football 102 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,600 player come to b YU? Why can't feature star basketball 103 00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:22,439 players come to b YU? And just BYU just has 104 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,920 a reputation among a lot of people outside the city. 105 00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:28,720 You taught people the arn't members of the faith Historically, 106 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,839 University people don't know a lot about by U said, 107 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,360 Aja broke down a lot of barriers that way grow 108 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,759 his whole life nothing to do with Byu obviously then 109 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,160 went to U tak prep for year came to Byu. 110 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,560 So from that perspective and then what he then what 111 00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:45,560 he will do in the NBA? I think, I mean 112 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,759 he's going to be a star NBA player. I mean, 113 00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:51,120 could he be the face of American basketball and in 114 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,959 five years like he could be. I mean we've and 115 00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:57,319 we've already seen the recruit impacts like Bruce Branch doesn't 116 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:00,319 come to b YU if if AJ isn't there, like 117 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,480 AJ opened the door and then just like the brand 118 00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:07,160 equity that's gonna be there for AJ, especially as long 119 00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:09,199 as k K. Why is that buy? So I think 120 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,439 that perspective, it definitely did and we'll see how Like 121 00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:15,360 I guess truly impactful a J is to buy because 122 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,120 I look a guy like some of John kla Party's 123 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,759 guys at Kentucky, like the Devin Bookers, the John Walls, 124 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,600 the DeMarcus Cousins, like the DeAndre fox Is, Like are 125 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,879 they really that? I don't know how connected the arts 126 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,920 at Kentucky the more connected to John Calipari, so it's like, yep, 127 00:06:29,079 --> 00:06:32,680 well will AJB whenever aj K Wiley. So it's two years, 128 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,879 five years, ten years, fifteen years, whatever. Maybe, But I 129 00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:38,480 think one thing is helps in buys favorite Kentucky. I mean, 130 00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:42,120 you know, and there's no NBA teams next to Kentucky. 131 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,959 So AJ, I mean, if he plays on the Jazz, 132 00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:47,000 obviously he'll always be in Utah. But every year, one 133 00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:49,319 or two times this season, he'll always come back to Utah. 134 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,759 He'll always get a big reception from BYU fans, So 135 00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:54,040 he'll always have that connection, whether Kevin Young is at 136 00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:57,160 BYU or not. So I do think the investment was 137 00:06:57,199 --> 00:06:59,480 worth it. I mean, granted it's not my money, but 138 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,480 I I do think just with that break, I mean 139 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,519 no doubt it's disappointing on the floor, and there was 140 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,160 injuries and all that's in the context, but we all 141 00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:11,439 hoped for a lot more on the floor than we 142 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:14,279 did this year. But for like the other parts of 143 00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:16,600 what AJ could do, just for like the perception of 144 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,759 BYU for future recruiting, which we've already seen, and then 145 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,399 if he can always be tied to Boye his whole 146 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,639 NBA career, and if he becomes like one of the 147 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,600 faces of American and global basketball. Like, I think there 148 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:30,639 will be lots of There could be lots of really 149 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,800 good positive impacts because of that. 150 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: Robbie, you said that by you had injuries, but arguably 151 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,319 the most disappointing season in BYU history. Agent was phenomenal. 152 00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:43,279 Bo you always have Agent as a part of Kuger Nation, 153 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,240 but no one, no one other way to characterize this season. 154 00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:51,000 Is this the most disappointing season in BAU basketball history. 155 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess obviously, I think the factor in expectations. 156 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,279 Obviously ninety six ninety seven blow You won one game 157 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,600 that season, so I Beeri's had much worse teams than 158 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,680 this year. But I mean people were hoping for Final four, 159 00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:10,000 could get at least the Sweet sixteen, Elite eight type one. 160 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,199 So on the fourth expectations, I think it's You could 161 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:14,839 definitely make the argument. I don't know, like what if 162 00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:16,759 I would say it's number one so on the flour, 163 00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:19,839 I mean, it's definitely a conversation. But I think if 164 00:08:19,839 --> 00:08:21,839 you look at the off the four stuff, I think 165 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,959 I mean, Kevin Durant lost in the second round of 166 00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:29,000 the NCAA Tournament his year, so he got he did 167 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,120 get one round further. But I mean he's still tied 168 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,440 to Texas this day, and I don't know how much 169 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,000 recurring impact necessarily has to that, but he's always tied 170 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,039 to Texas. I think there's a lot of equity in that. 171 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,399 And I think it's especially different for BYU just because 172 00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,600 none of those schools like Kentucky the Texas is like 173 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,840 where those top players have gone too, like they didn't 174 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,559 really necessarily have like a perception that needed to be 175 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,519 broken down, like BIUS is just different because of like 176 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,679 the whole lds Engle and how the rest of many 177 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,159 of the rest of the country, like black athletes can 178 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,720 view BYU. So they have AJ, who could like be 179 00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:07,240 one of the most premier athletes in the world, will 180 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,399 always have AJ tied to him. I think it means 181 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,840 more to b YU because people I mentioned that before, 182 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,360 people will bring up like the Anthony Edwards argument, Anthony 183 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,159 Edwards went to Georgia. No one considers and no one 184 00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:19,679 really thinks about, oh, Georgia basketball when they think Anthony 185 00:09:19,799 --> 00:09:22,799 Edwards like that. But I think it's different for b 186 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,080 YU just because by US just just people just don't 187 00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:28,960 just it's viewed in such a different light and just 188 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,879 the barriers AJ broke down. So I think it's a 189 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,360 it's a failure in terms of like on the court, 190 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,600 what could have been but for that, like what we 191 00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:40,879 saw AJ, what AJ could do for BYU, Like like 192 00:09:40,919 --> 00:09:43,879 when I take that and if I take everything into account, 193 00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:46,919 like I don't think it is because well, like what 194 00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:49,639 it could and has already done for like breaking milling 195 00:09:49,799 --> 00:09:53,320 is a program and then like the institution. 196 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: Robbie mccom's bank was the faux bank wage THEEFO dot com. 197 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,399 You were at the game, you went out and you 198 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,759 were part of them media scrums, et cetera. What were 199 00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:06,720 your main takeaway from the maybe the pregame, uh conversations 200 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,080 in the postgame conversations. 201 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, pre game, I mean we've been seeing a couple 202 00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,039 of weeks. In the Big Twelve Tournament, Kevin Young was 203 00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:20,120 and I think it was authentic. He was really trying. 204 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 5: To show optimism that hey like starting with the Texas 205 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,639 Tech Game the Big twelve Tournament, Like, yeah, I turned 206 00:10:27,639 --> 00:10:30,320 a quarter, the defense definitely improved. 207 00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: Lost to Houston, but and again that was the third 208 00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:35,399 game in three days, and by you still gave a fight, 209 00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:39,799 so UAU definitely like there was definitely that Kevin. I 210 00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:42,000 think Kevin I was kind of just trying to forced 211 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,559 force that mindset on the team. I think there was 212 00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:49,559 part of that, but I don't know, Like the I mean, 213 00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:51,519 I can't say I thought one thing or the other. 214 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,320 Like the vibe seemed find of the team before, like 215 00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:59,559 the media, the players like, and then post game like 216 00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:02,360 it was a little more upbeat than I thought it 217 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,759 would be, like like we they seen the clips out 218 00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:06,879 there and I was like AJ was talking about BYU, 219 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,360 like again, who knows what will happened, like when he 220 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,519 leads by maybe I mean, maybe he'll never want anything 221 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,720 to do with BYU. Like, I don't know. I think 222 00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:18,840 I think he truly seemed genuine of his like how 223 00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:22,840 much he's really enjoyed BYU, like not just the basketball 224 00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:26,759 assic but the community, the experience of Stanley has had. 225 00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:30,559 That was cool to see. I mean, Kay said after 226 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,120 the game, like, I mean, obviously they're disappointed, but I 227 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,080 just he was proud that those players chose to come 228 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,320 to BYU and all a lot of them from different 229 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,960 circumstances and to represent the university. So there was a 230 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,960 lot of that and I also get the sense I 231 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,480 think I kind of feel deep down like Kevin, once 232 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,960 Richie went down, like Kevin Young knew this team had 233 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,960 a ceiling. I think going into like they hope they 234 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,039 can make the Sweet sixteen, but Kevin Young knew, I 235 00:12:00,039 --> 00:12:02,080 mean there was cracks when Richie. I mean the team 236 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,480 was has struggled, but with Richie, this team could have 237 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,000 could have made it run despite some of the defense efficiency, 238 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,480 just because they have that much high level talent. I 239 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,600 think deep down, Kevin and new as their ceiling that 240 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,840 kind of fell after He's I think he has ideas 241 00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:18,879 for he wants to build this team next year, like 242 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,879 he I mean he mentioned like shooting's going to be 243 00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:24,360 a main priority, Like I think if it's not a 244 00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:26,960 five man Bwey's not going to consider someone that can't 245 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,519 shoot the basketball really well, that's going to be I 246 00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:31,799 mean he also mentioned like beings to get a more 247 00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:35,159 rugged big man in this league, so someone who's like 248 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,440 a little bit bigger, someone who could bang a little 249 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,720 bit more. And and that I mean that came to 250 00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:42,159 a weird, its ugly head in the Texas game is 251 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,159 gonna abolute dominated in the glass, and we saw it 252 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,440 during the season, like, I mean that really the best 253 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,559 teams in college basketball have a really good size, Like 254 00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:51,519 Arizona's got really good bigs, Florida's the one Sea, they 255 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,000 got really good big Michigan they're one seed. They got 256 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,200 as big as any team. Duke's got cam Boozer, and 257 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,279 another they got really good bigs. You big, Houston's got 258 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,080 good bigs. So I think I need a lot of stream. 259 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,919 But I think Kevin realizes too. It's like, hey, in 260 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,320 college basketball even more so like NBA's spacing league, and 261 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,000 that's true at any level of basketball. I think he realized, like, 262 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,279 we need a little bit more, we need more size 263 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,360 guys that could bing a little bit. So I kind 264 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,679 of got the sense too that he's I mean, he's 265 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,000 already I think, not that he's lost focus at all 266 00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:25,279 this season when especial when you have AJ but the 267 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,840 staff they've been kind of already knowing I think how 268 00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:30,519 they kind of want to do a different roster construction 269 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,639 next year. And I got that sense to like he's 270 00:13:33,039 --> 00:13:35,879 really ready to hit the ground running this obviously, And 271 00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:37,960 I do think even with some of the discipline, myself 272 00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:40,200 think the resources will be there from the Boosters. I 273 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,000 think Bley will have good l and money to be 274 00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:46,600 competitive to get the players that they need. So obviously 275 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,720 we'll see how that shakes out. But that was kind 276 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,000 of my sense appening. Obviously disappointed, but I think he's 277 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,799 I don't think it is nam as much wallowing from him, 278 00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:57,000 like he's gonna he's knows the type of guys and 279 00:13:57,039 --> 00:13:59,759 even specific players he's gonna want to hit. And what's 280 00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:03,080 the portal opens here in a couple of weeks. 281 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: Well, what do you think is the most like valid 282 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,159 gripe in this season? Right? I mean we all we 283 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,879 give I think the cular nation understands the six season 284 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,840 ending injuries and three priority players starters, rotational guys, and 285 00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:17,639 Nate Pickens he was the start of it, right, and 286 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,600 then a Dawson Baker what seven or so games in, 287 00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:23,039 and then obviously the Todd King Richie Saunders. I mean, 288 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,480 you can't you can't plan on these things. It was 289 00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:27,679 really difficult, and then you had to thrust some of 290 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,480 your bench into starting roles and all those things. So like, 291 00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:36,559 let's let's put that aside here by you struggled in 292 00:14:36,559 --> 00:14:40,679 the first half all season long. Some people gripe about 293 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,320 you know, maybe lack of rebounding, maybe the schematics employed 294 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,559 offensively but especially defensively. One of the other gripes I've 295 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,279 heard is like, how is it that all of our 296 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,279 bigs regressed from last year to this year? The high 297 00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:59,919 low regress, Keba regress? You brought in Bedo, He maybe 298 00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:02,840 regressed during the season too, like he started off probably 299 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,039 better than he ended up finishing in some ways. Ha 300 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,519 Deem is maybe the only guy, but like I still 301 00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:10,200 look at him more as on like a three four 302 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,000 than I look at him as like a four man. Anyways, 303 00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:16,720 give me, like, what are valid ripes right now for 304 00:15:16,759 --> 00:15:18,480 the Cougar Nation if you will. 305 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: I remember before the season I wrote, obviously, I think 306 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,480 everyone is optimistic going into the year, even before obviously, 307 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,799 beforecasted any injuries, like I did have concerns of like, hey, 308 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,399 does bo you have enough shooting on this roster, like 309 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,120 they had aj Rob shot better than expect Like he 310 00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:43,000 shot seven thirty percent last in Big twelve play. This 311 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,600 year he shot forty three percent for the whole season, 312 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,519 so that was big. So BIOI had Boy had Richie, 313 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,840 and they had Dawson. I was like, hey, is there 314 00:15:51,919 --> 00:15:55,120 enough like spacing like around AJ to get what k 315 00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:01,080 I really wanted this offense, and they got there when 316 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,120 you had Dawson, like we saw that Yukon game, like 317 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,840 he did really good the Miami game, like he had 318 00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:07,399 some like big games there Dawson, which really helped the 319 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,279 four spacing. But and then kind of once he went out, 320 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,519 things could really just focus on Richie kind of on 321 00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:14,799 the perimeter. So I think, I mean the offense was 322 00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:16,840 I mean, like the metric, especially before for which he 323 00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:19,840 went out, was great, Like they had times where they struggled, 324 00:16:19,879 --> 00:16:22,840 but oh overall it was more of a defensive defense issue. 325 00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:25,679 But I think they I mean Tyler Morass, they didn't 326 00:16:25,679 --> 00:16:27,559 pay a lot for him, but he didn't pound out 327 00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:29,480 at all what they had hoped for, Like he was 328 00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:32,960 a lot better shooter at Idaho and just didn't translate 329 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,360 to the Big twelve. Coaches kind of they'd expected zero 330 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,159 from coaches. He was kind of forced into it. You know, 331 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,720 had his moments, which was which was good to see, 332 00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:43,240 but I mean the lack of shooting, I think they 333 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,159 think they could have used another and I think Canard 334 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,799 Davis probably it just didn't fit the role he had, 335 00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:52,679 Like he wasn't like a spot up shooter at Southern Illinois, 336 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:54,360 and they wanted to be a three and D guy, 337 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,120 and that that's not what he was. Like he had 338 00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:59,000 his times where he'd get hot from three sil a 339 00:16:59,039 --> 00:17:02,120 few games in the Big twelve tournament, but he probably 340 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,440 looking he probably wasn't the best fit for that, Like 341 00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:07,240 I wrote, they could have, like there was a transfer 342 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,640 from North Carolina KATEE Tyson here they kind of looking 343 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,599 at he didn't do much last year, but he would 344 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,279 averaged about twenty pergad at Belmont before that this year 345 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,240 for North Carolina six seven wing. This year start he 346 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,359 transferred to Minnesota, averaged twenty points a shot over forty 347 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,759 percent from three x K. BUA had Kate Tyson instead. 348 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:25,680 Mood Davis like, man, that's some amazing spacing on there. 349 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,240 So I mean that's probably looking back, they probably could 350 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,960 have done something over there. And then I think the 351 00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:32,359 defense for sure, I mean that was ultimately bua's downfall. 352 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,559 But you look like Bo's defense and non conference was 353 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,680 actually really good, Like that's the BUA you started the 354 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,240 season sixteen and one. It's because that like looking like 355 00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:45,640 their defense was good like in non in non Conference, 356 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,079 like they did a good job versus Miami. They did 357 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,519 a god job versus Villan Nova. They had Wisconsin, one 358 00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:54,279 of the best offenses in the country, to seventy points, 359 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,640 so they did really good. I think some of those injuries, 360 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,640 like I forced buy to change their scheme. Like when 361 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,240 BUA had more depth, like Billy was pressuring a lot more. 362 00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:05,319 They did a lot of three quarters court type pressure. 363 00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:07,480 For aj was at the top of that. His length 364 00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:11,599 really disrupted defenses the really once Dawson kind of went down, 365 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,799 b A tightened up the rotation and they kind of 366 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,319 changed their defensive scheme kind of out of necessity, like 367 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,759 the end of the season, and then there was no 368 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,039 way like you could kind of do that type of 369 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,240 defensive pressure and play a j and Rob thirty eight 370 00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:27,680 thirty nine minutes. I mean they you risk I mean 371 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,920 the tire out, you risk injuries to their body that way, 372 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,799 and bill A you never really adjusted. But at the 373 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,440 end of the year they have obviously had some good 374 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,400 games in the Big Twelve Tournament, but defense needs to 375 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,039 get a lot better. In the first two years that's 376 00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:44,319 been Bau's down for like La Shulba made the Sweet 377 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,359 sixteen obviously great season, but defense was ultimately their downfall 378 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,240 in the Alabama game and then this game they couldn't 379 00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:55,880 rebound defense, So like, I'm gonna have to figure out 380 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,960 some defense a little more. I think k Whit is 381 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,839 kind of figuring out the defense in college, Like it's 382 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,240 not just a total spacing game like you got college 383 00:19:05,279 --> 00:19:07,920 big so we're really really rugged, bigging in the paint. 384 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,640 So I think because he's going to I think our 385 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,759 big men approach will be a little bit different next season. 386 00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:13,880 He's gonna try to cruit guys that can shoot, also 387 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,000 guys with lengths I could defend. So the long wo 388 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,400 an answer the defense, like the main thing something that's 389 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,640 k White is going to prove that he could to 390 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,519 build a staff and defense. That defense is gonna you 391 00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:29,880 don't need to be Houston because Bo's identity is going 392 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,839 to be offense, and you can win his offensive first 393 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,759 team in college basketball, but you're gonna need to be 394 00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,920 probably a top twenty type defensive team, like a really 395 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,160 good defensive team to go with what he hopes to 396 00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:41,559 be an elite offense. So it's a defense number one, 397 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,519 and then it's a lack of shooters. 398 00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: I think that. 399 00:19:44,519 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 2: I mean, especially the end of season after the injuries. 400 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,519 I think those are kind of like two things that 401 00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:51,039 I kind of hate to hang my head like a 402 00:19:51,079 --> 00:19:55,519 little with hindsight at bou could have could have done, 403 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,680 plan builded better. 404 00:19:57,839 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: Is there any concern that you have for like these 405 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,640 injuries at all? You know, I'm in I'm kind of 406 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,119 in the wor Orthpeedic sports medicine space and I'm like, 407 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,160 oh man, are these contact? Are they non contact injuries? 408 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,839 Many of them? Some of them will contact? Right? I 409 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,799 don't know about the Nate Pickens injury, right, that was 410 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,799 kind of before everything. You know, Berdie Koslowski, what's up 411 00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:20,079 with him saving State and we never really got to 412 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,039 see him. I don't know if that there's been any 413 00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:24,680 sort of clarity. But you had Dawson and Richie both 414 00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:29,680 with acls executing moves they've probably done hundreds of thousands 415 00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:33,839 of times in their career. Is there some question marks 416 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,519 about how we're maybe you know, prehabing potentiation stuff prior 417 00:20:39,559 --> 00:20:43,440 to tip off the day prior with some fatigue there, 418 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,599 especially when you have two semi non contact acls. 419 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you probably speak to this better than 420 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,759 I can, But I mean, I think when I think 421 00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:55,200 of some of the situation Dawson, I mean, who knows, 422 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,920 but I think he's coming off to really big foot 423 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,319 foot surgeries he never really fully recovered from, and this 424 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,920 offseason like he wasn't playing at all, Like he finally 425 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,720 had a couples before the season, he was finally starting 426 00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:09,920 to play. I think they're kind of they were hoping 427 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,839 to slow play him, and then right before the season, 428 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,119 like there was a week before the season they were 429 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,880 looking at Nate Pickens's ankle during practice. He's kind of 430 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,960 pacicing through. They would hope it would kind of come around, 431 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,200 and then right before the season, they like, okay, he 432 00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:25,119 needs season ending surgery. So the hope was that Dawson's 433 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,680 minutes and non conference play would be a lot lower 434 00:21:28,759 --> 00:21:30,640 than they ended up being, just so he could kind 435 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,240 of ramp up a little bit. He didn't have the 436 00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:35,720 full off season of prep. He's coming off those foot surgeries, 437 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,359 and he could kind of more glide into it while 438 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,519 Nate Pickens take some of those minutes. And they got 439 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:44,319 Nate Pickens out. So I think, I mean, maybe they 440 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,640 didn't handle that differently, but I think I mean, on 441 00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:49,200 one hand, Dawson's if he feels like he could play, 442 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,279 He's not gonna say no, I can't play. So I 443 00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:55,079 think that definitely factored into it. Like he's just like, 444 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,079 I mean, if he does come again back to BYU 445 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,079 as well, he's sewing, You're not gonna have to on 446 00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,160 a lot. It's like, hey, like Dawson, we gave you 447 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,799 a little bit of money, probably more money you can 448 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,319 make out in the working gold right now, and then 449 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,160 whatever your role is, your role is, like that's probably 450 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,839 that comes out. So I think Dawson's injuries, I mean, Richie, 451 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,519 I mean, he just plays so dang hard. I mean, 452 00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:16,480 it's just I just kind of feel as one of 453 00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:19,440 those fluky type things. I mean, Dawson's kind of I mean, 454 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,319 and Brody's had a couple like last year he season 455 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,359 ended earlier this year, like he had the kind of 456 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,200 lower lake injury, never really got healthy. So it's like, 457 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,839 I mean, I'm not going to speculate his I don't 458 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,759 know what his health like bone everything situation is. And 459 00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:37,799 then Sayvee on the Slender Guy can never really get healthy, 460 00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:39,680 and then Nate I think, I mean, I think he 461 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,599 should be good next year. So I mean, I don't 462 00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:44,680 think can be quite nice that did anything wrong. I 463 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,200 think there's something there's like some of the background with Dawson, 464 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,000 I think some of the other stuff just like it's 465 00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:51,359 just unfortunately kind of turned out the way it did. 466 00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:56,079 Speaker 1: Robi McCombs, Ladies and gentlemen. Uh, you know one of 467 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,480 my my listeners here texting me saying that there needs 468 00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:02,920 to be an eval of the defense schematics the last 469 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,119 two years. Is it culture? Is it players? 470 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:06,599 Speaker 3: Is it? 471 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: Is it scheme? Employment? I mean, how much self scout 472 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,519 do you think they're going to be doing on that 473 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,240 side of things in the offseason regarding the coaching staff 474 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,039 and what's being employed and what's being coached. 475 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it's definitely make sure of both. 476 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,839 I mean, first, you need the guys. I think one thing, 477 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,000 Kay always wants to brim protector and they had Keba there, 478 00:23:27,079 --> 00:23:29,400 but I mean it's the sixth eight guy. I mean, 479 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,319 he's really good, like kind of secondary helper, and I 480 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,039 mean we saw him seeing the blocks in his career, 481 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,880 some incredible blocks. But I think we're in He's going 482 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,480 to rehaul the front court this offseason, So I think 483 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,400 that would be a big one. I mean, and I 484 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,480 think they'll try to get some true three in d guys. 485 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,319 I mean they tried to kind of force Cannard into it. 486 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,920 I think he was fine this year on defense, but 487 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,599 he can never really get the three part down. And 488 00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:56,319 part of it too, you believe like at their offense 489 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,359 is like a top five offense, that's naturally going to 490 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,759 help their defense because you you could build leads that 491 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,720 way and then a forces defenses can maybe get away 492 00:24:05,759 --> 00:24:07,559 from how they want to place. I think that's part 493 00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:10,680 of Ky's philosophy. But I think you'll see I think 494 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,759 you'll see some staff restructuring too, Like I'm expected everybody 495 00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:17,359 to run it back this year because I may think, 496 00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:20,640 like you got AJ coming in, and the hope was like, Hey, 497 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,839 this is going to be our golden ticket boot to 498 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,680 have all this sex on the floor. We have two 499 00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:28,720 years of tutelage under Ky. We could tie our names 500 00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:31,319 to AJ and that will help in our future professions. 501 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,960 Some of that kind of worked out, like they still 502 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,119 have the connection with Ky and they with AJ. But 503 00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:41,039 I think there will be some retooling in the staff 504 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,599 next year. I think, again this is just speculating, but 505 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,880 I mean guys like Wolvoie and Fanic they have and 506 00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:50,279 they all their whole careers are outside of Cluse. I 507 00:24:50,559 --> 00:24:53,279 wouldn't be surprised at least one of those guys decided 508 00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:57,759 to go. John Lenahan, Brandon Dunson, no tics to bility before. 509 00:24:57,799 --> 00:24:59,119 Now that age has gone, it's kind of an I 510 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,279 think it's a natural time for some guys to like, hey, Like, 511 00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:04,680 I don't think k doesn't even letting you guys go. 512 00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:06,839 I think guys some of the staff will kind of 513 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,799 just go other ways. I think I could see Kye 514 00:25:09,799 --> 00:25:12,279 bring him on another college assistant that kind of knows, 515 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,480 like just more about college defensive scheme. So I think 516 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,079 there'll be some scheme. But I think the big thing, 517 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,599 I mean, the biggest thing is always the dudes. You got, 518 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,799 Like you can only scheme so much. You got to 519 00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:27,039 start with the guys, and then you got to and 520 00:25:27,079 --> 00:25:29,119 then ka he does have the proof that by could 521 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,680 be a better defensive team. But I guess those are 522 00:25:32,759 --> 00:25:34,599 some of my thoughts of how boy you will address 523 00:25:35,319 --> 00:25:37,440 like their defensive offseason. 524 00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: Robin Mcombs, Ladies and gentlemen, Robbie, best way to support you, 525 00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:42,559 what you do, how you do it.

So I'll have a piece like a kind 533 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,960 of an early prediction piece on what uyus kind of 534 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:04,440 roster and kind. 535 00:26:04,319 --> 00:26:07,759 Speaker 2: Of planned this offseason will be.
