15
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 4>I do. You know.

16
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 5>It's fun, it's fun being in college, but you don't

17
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 5>make a lot of money there.

18
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 4>So well you don't. I remember those days. Troy. You're

19
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:52.880

22
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Okay, yeah no, but you don't make a lot of

23
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 4>money out, so it's a problem. That's true.

24
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't have you graduates. It's gonna be a tough

25
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>haul out there. Yeah, no one said it was going

26
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.000
<v Speaker 2>to be easy. Guys, were you surprised this weekend in

27
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 2>terms of softball?

28
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't know.

29
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 2>I can't need to hear nor of there from me

30
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>because I don't know enough about it. But I watched

31
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>them play yesterday. Obviously they played well the first game

32
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 2>with the strong pitching of of tell.

33
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 4>Me her name was it?

34
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then they didn't go with her in the

35
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>second game, which, of course I think you go with

36
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 2>your best person, right, and she got rocked nets I

37
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>got hurt early and.

38
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 4>Left her in too long.

39
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, I think that's the biggest thing with people talking,

40
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, or criticizing. Everybody has an answer, right, like

41
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 2>it's Scott, It's every sport there, because everybody knows that

42
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 2>they kept her in too long. The pitching, YadA YadA.

43
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>That was the downfall. They lost what thirteen games total?

44
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Fourteen games? Yeah, but in a really crappy conference. Okay, well,

45
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 2>I can only play. I can only play what I

46
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:02.319
<v Speaker 2>put in front of me.

47
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 4>I get it. But compared to what they're using.

48
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, then they well, then they weren't there. Then they

49
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 2>weren't ready to play in the tournament because the SEC

50
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>is what it was, right, Uh, and they like basketball,

51
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>right you? You you beg that they have this conference

52
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 2>because it gets you ready for the tournament. And people

53
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>said it got Arizona ready for the tournament such.

54
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 4>That it is. They finished in the sweet sixteen again.

55
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 2>And here now softball, if they were in a bad conference,

56
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe minus a player a team or two, they weren't

57
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>going to get any further than this.

58
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 4>Oklahoma and Texas were in that bad conference for a

59
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 4>long time and nominated. Yeah. Now, I'll say this Oklahoma State,

60
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 4>it's not what it used to be as usually they're

61
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 4>that other team there. Yeah, but I'm gonna be honest

62
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 4>after watching the third, the well, the seventh game, the

63
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 4>final game last night, in covering softball for a while,

64
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 4>it's one of the worst coach games I've ever seen.

65
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 4>The final game. The final game was what was best

66
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 4>base running blunders. I don't know why that early in

67
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.120
<v Speaker 4>the first Okay, still the same. I don't know what

68
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 4>the heck you're doing there down by four, Yeah, with

69
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 4>your power coming up to the plate. Just sloppy defense

70
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 4>in the infield. They had that ball get behind. I

71
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 4>think stratterard before she went to the mount into the circle,

72
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.080
<v Speaker 4>which led to a couple of runs in that ending

73
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 4>as well, a little late polling out Devin nets and

74
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 4>then you bring Aisa, she gets blown up to finally

75
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 4>you bring in stratter and easy working for her. I

76
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.800
<v Speaker 4>just felt like it was a game where Caitlyn got

77
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 4>completely out coached. And I can't remember a game that

78
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 4>poorly coach from Arizona. Have they lose Friday night? Was it? Friday?

79
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 4>Kind of got blown out from the starting, Yeah, but

80
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 4>the ole Miss kind of jumped out. That's what I'm saying.

81
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 4>They were playing catch.

82
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 2>Up, yeah, or maybe they just weren't good enough. And

83
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>sometimes sometimes teams, and I say this every now and again,

84
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 2>and people look at me, sometimes you get beat by

85
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>or better team and no matter how how good you

86
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 2>looked or think you looked during the season, you're not

87
00:03:59.080 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 2>as good as you think you are.

88
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't think Ole Miss was the better team, though

89
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 4>I know they're moving on. I know they're moving on. Okay,

90
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 4>their resume would prove that wise, but go ahead, I don't.

91
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't think they were the better team. I think

92
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 4>the overarching theme of this is and we've been talking

93
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 4>about this for a long time. Arizona still doesn't have pitching.

94
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, and they haven't had it forever. You can

95
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 4>talk about they haven't had it forever. They haven't really

96
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 4>had it since I say, ken zy Valor. But you

97
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 4>could argue Taylor McQuillan, who was in All Conference performer

98
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:33.920
<v Speaker 4>back twelve. Elysidenum was there too. But they haven't had

99
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 4>decent pitching. I mean, their pitching seems to except for

100
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 4>this year. Devin had a very good year, but the

101
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 4>last two years you can argue that with some of

102
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 4>the worst pitching errors on stop all history the last right, right.

103
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>And also recruiting well also, yeah, well your computer, you're

104
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 2>recruiting as good as you can because the good old

105
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 2>days are garden?

106
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 6>Are they?

107
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 4>Though? The Google days are guard Yeah, I'm not. I'm

108
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.680
<v Speaker 4>not saying the nineties the nineties are winning six titles

109
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 4>and and years long, right, but you're not even close

110
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 4>to being a team that should be in Oklahoma City

111
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 4>and no offense that can't low. But that first year

112
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 4>they backed door their way into to make it.

113
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Sure, Well, no apologies, they shouldn't give you an apology.

114
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 2>But I don't disagree with you they And that's fine.

115
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean it is on my resume. If I were them,

116
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 2>we got there. Don't bitch about how you got there.

117
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Uh and you were there, right, I was okay, So

118
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>they got there, they got you there, but they were

119
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.399
<v Speaker 2>not that good compared to and yes, back in just

120
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>it was like the uh, the the Mike Dunlap, the

121
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.040
<v Speaker 2>penalty year with those guys that got to the Street sixteen. Yeah,

122
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 2>for sure, and it was it was the circum the

123
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 2>doors opened for whatever reason. Yeah, and they got to

124
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the Sweet sixteen, got their ass handed to him. But they

125
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 2>got there, and everybody talks it was a down here,

126
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 2>sure it was, but Sweet sixteen pretty damn good. Same

127
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 2>place Arizona got this year and last year or last year.

128
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 4>But when is the recruiting had taken up.

129
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:58.360
<v Speaker 2>It looks those days, those days of Arizona being their

130
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>parents may know, but not anymore.

131
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 4>But I think you limit yourself when you're basically just

132
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 4>still recruiting the state of California. You're not going into Texas,

133
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.759
<v Speaker 4>you're not going into the South. You're staying in California

134
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 4>to stay in Arizona. You haven't expanded your recruiting pool,

135
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 4>your stadium is one of the best in the country

136
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 4>outside of maybe Oklahoma. You have tradition, you have the facilities,

137
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 4>you have the weather, okay, and I all, okay, you

138
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 4>can make up for it in another way.

139
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Have you have you posed this question to the powers

140
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 2>that be, the coaches, the assistant coaches, the AD or

141
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 2>not maybe not so much the AD now but in

142
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 2>the past, because it is what you're saying true. Is

143
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>what you're saying true, and even off the record, you

144
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 2>don't have to tell me about the record stuff. But

145
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 2>what's the problem then if they can't get that done?

146
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think it's coaching.

147
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Do you think if they had a different company they

148
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 2>get they're not go If they do, it'd be so

149
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>shocking to me.

150
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 4>I don't think if they will, because she's.

151
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Done really well, I don't think she has Holy crap,

152
00:06:58.839 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 2>who are you?

153
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't think she has in what sense. I think

154
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:06.399
<v Speaker 4>the program is not where it was when Andrea left.

155
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.920
<v Speaker 4>First of all, they had a Jazon infield, they got

156
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.519
<v Speaker 4>to the Women's College World Series. They had pitching on

157
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.839
<v Speaker 4>that staff, so he was recruiting at a higher level.

158
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.439
<v Speaker 4>His final days were not as great as people think.

159
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he went to back back Women's College World

160
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 4>Series and teams that did back into that respect, they didn't. Yeah, no,

161
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 4>they didn't back into that. They hosted the super Regionals

162
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 4>his second last, Mississippi miss and then they they kind

163
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.120
<v Speaker 4>of fumbled around the season his last year, but then

164
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 4>they got the draw of Arkansas. They got to the

165
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 4>Women's College World Series. But they were a very talented team.

166
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:45.600
<v Speaker 4>They were top five, I think top ten team to

167
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 4>start that year, and then people graduated. She got talent

168
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 4>in Charlie's Pelacio is transferred out. They've had other transfers

169
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 4>to How much does she make, you know, Kalin Low?

170
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:57.240
<v Speaker 4>I think it's very low.

171
00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so okay, there's okay, So let's assume second she

172
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 2>no longer here. Who are they going to get that's

173
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:03.639
<v Speaker 2>going to be paid low?

174
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 4>I think they were able to pay pay low because

175
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 4>it was an assistant coach off the staff. I don't

176
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.000
<v Speaker 4>think you had to spend big bucks. I think you

177
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.920
<v Speaker 4>could spend a little bit more to that degree. According

178
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 4>to Google two and twenty five thousand. Okay, yeah, that's

179
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 4>very well, that's for the position. I can't remember what

180
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.839
<v Speaker 4>was Candrea's final count, Probably around five hundred thousands around there.

181
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:29.279
<v Speaker 4>But I mean the top paid coaches. Oklahoma coach, I

182
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.879
<v Speaker 4>can Yeah, she's making one point whatever her players are

183
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.000
<v Speaker 4>making that. Yeah, but I'm not saying you need to

184
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.600
<v Speaker 4>do that. But there are coaches out there. Oh no,

185
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:40.639
<v Speaker 4>I think I think you could take a shot at

186
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:44.279
<v Speaker 4>the Clemson coach who was with Hendrea for Team USA

187
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 4>and did a good job at Stanford when he was there. Yeah, Ritman,

188
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.519
<v Speaker 4>we went to college together. I think you could take

189
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 4>a shot at him. I think he's at the Arkansas coach,

190
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 4>who I think has done a very good job there. Female.

191
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 4>I think there's probably some assistants out there cross the country.

192
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.120
<v Speaker 4>I just I think Caitlin is a very good person,

193
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:08.399
<v Speaker 4>very good, uh like inspirational type of I think there's

194
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 4>that piece missing.

195
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 2>How is she in terms of getting on the girls,

196
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 2>like not motivating them, but getting on them, like let's go.

197
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 4>It's It's not the same as what it was coach, Oh.

198
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>No, no, of course not. They played differently. They played different

199
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 2>for him, like they played different for lut than they

200
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 2>did for Sean, And you know, Sean kind of scared

201
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 2>them into painting hard.

202
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.720
<v Speaker 4>And I'm not trying to compare it to everybody's thinking

203
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.240
<v Speaker 4>that that's not what I'm trying to do. But are

204
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 4>you trying to do? I think the standards are higher

205
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.679
<v Speaker 4>than what the what I think the standards are higher

206
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 4>for hers on a softball and the expectations haven't been met.

207
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.639
<v Speaker 4>And I'm not saying you need to be number one

208
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 4>in the country year in a year. Are they realistic expectations?

209
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.879
<v Speaker 4>I think they are. With everybody else getting better, I

210
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:53.919
<v Speaker 4>think they are. Andrea his last contract. Look, I told

211
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.279
<v Speaker 4>you here there's no drug testing in this place. What

212
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 4>was it? Yeah? I still that wasn't that much. Well

213
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 4>back in the day, when did he sign that? Yeah?

214
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.759
<v Speaker 4>In comparison, but no, I mean, you have the facilities,

215
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.080
<v Speaker 4>you have the weather.

216
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I won't argue any more than I've already argued with

217
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 2>you because I don't know enough. But I know that

218
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 2>how good they were back in the day because I

219
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 2>was part of the covering the team and following him

220
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 2>a lot. Now not so much. It's hard to sustain that. Obviously.

221
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, UCLA isn't the UCLA back in the day.

222
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Duke isn't the same either, Uh.

223
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.720
<v Speaker 4>And it hurts him that you don't have the pac twelve.

224
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, So so what are you saying the

225
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.840
<v Speaker 2>record of forty whatever it was in thirteen, whatever it was,

226
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.039
<v Speaker 2>is you should have an asterix there.

227
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying you hosted a region First of all, that

228
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 4>was the first time she's ever hosted a regional. Okay,

229
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:47.679
<v Speaker 4>it should be bare minimum. She's already missed a tournament.

230
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.000
<v Speaker 4>You've had a hard time getting out of the regionals.

231
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.000
<v Speaker 4>And this is Arizona soapotball, who's probably the second third

232
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 4>best program in the history of the game. And yeah,

233
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.720
<v Speaker 4>people are saying, oh, well, it's not the ninety Well no,

234
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 4>it's not the nineties, but you can still put on

235
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.399
<v Speaker 4>a good product out there on the field. What they

236
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.919
<v Speaker 4>didn't put out a good product. I don't think it's

237
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.000
<v Speaker 4>an extremely talented roster. I think it's a no, no, no,

238
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 4>that wasn't my question. The product winning all those games. Okay,

239
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.720
<v Speaker 4>it's the regular season. What do you do in the postseason?

240
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, let me tell you. I'm the guy that

241
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.080
<v Speaker 2>it says matter it matters in March. Guess what in

242
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:23.279
<v Speaker 2>softball it matters in May?

243
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.279
<v Speaker 4>Exactly. I get it. But again, you're measured by that,

244
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 4>and that's just how it Arizona is and I just discussions.

245
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Where did you go to lunch today? We should have

246
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:36.320
<v Speaker 2>you go there more often. Uh, okay, we'll talk more

247
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.159
<v Speaker 2>about this later. How much time we have we okay

248
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 2>not three minutes?

249
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:40.440
<v Speaker 4>Okay?

250
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:45.000
<v Speaker 2>No, well okay, I uh, I don't feel as strongly

251
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.679
<v Speaker 2>as you. I do understand your point. So maybe we'll

252

<v Speaker 2>talk more about it after after we talked to our

391
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the day and I'm old and I've been here a

392
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.279
<v Speaker 2>long time covered football undertow me and the rest of

393
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:31.400
<v Speaker 2>my time was with coach coach Olsen Sean and stuff.

394
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.480
<v Speaker 2>So GM it's new to me, right, it's new to

395
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:36.559
<v Speaker 2>people like me who have never seen this. But you've

396
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.720
<v Speaker 2>been on board for a couple of years. Could you

397
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.200
<v Speaker 2>explain to the listeners what you do and what that

398
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:42.160
<v Speaker 2>title means?

399
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:47.119
<v Speaker 6>Of course, of course, the landscape of college football has

400
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.480
<v Speaker 6>has really changed, obviously, you know, not just football, all

401
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.160
<v Speaker 6>the sports, but football especially, and a lot you know,

402
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:54.880
<v Speaker 6>has to do with just the size of the team,

403
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.680
<v Speaker 6>right where traditionally you might have a couple of guys

404
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:59.920
<v Speaker 6>in recruiting, you know, maybe a director or player person

405
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.640
<v Speaker 6>or a director of recruiting title, but really you know,

406
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:07.160
<v Speaker 6>post COVID with the eligibility extensions, a transfer portal and

407
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.720
<v Speaker 6>then now kind of with nil and potential revenue share

408
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 6>coming up later on this year. Having a person or

409
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 6>people in these roles and their job solely focused on,

410
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 6>you know, roster building, roster retention is something that is

411
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.559
<v Speaker 6>kind of you know, it's popped up in a lot

412
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.359
<v Speaker 6>of different schools. Obviously you're in the U of A

413
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.640
<v Speaker 6>so you know, having someone like myself is really just

414
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.240
<v Speaker 6>dedicated to that and trying to be a resource for

415
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:31.359
<v Speaker 6>our coach and support our coaches any way we can

416
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:34.160
<v Speaker 6>let them focused on, you know, focus on the field

417
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.279
<v Speaker 6>and obviously recruiting and then some of the back office stuff. Uh.

418
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:38.880
<v Speaker 6>You know, I kind of work more day to day

419
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Speaker 6>with coach Burnt.

420
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 4>You know when you look at the landscape of college

421
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.759
<v Speaker 4>football you mentioned it with nil and all that just

422
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.279
<v Speaker 4>your day to day's stuff, how much of it is

423
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.440
<v Speaker 4>nil and also looking for opportunities, uh, for current players

424
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:58.440
<v Speaker 4>on the roster that are seeking those NIL deals.

425
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.039
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's a good that's a good question. So I

426
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 6>think to start off what my day looks like. There's

427
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.480
<v Speaker 6>always kinds of different pillars that we talk about, right,

428
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.759
<v Speaker 6>There's always the prospect identification, which kind of falls more

429
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:13.559
<v Speaker 6>into the scouting world, you know, whether that's the high

430
00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:17.440
<v Speaker 6>school prospects, junior college prospects, or are obviously transfer portal.

431
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.079
<v Speaker 6>And then you have the recruiting itself, right, that's the

432
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:23.599
<v Speaker 6>on campus aspect. That's the relationship building and the culture

433
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:26.319
<v Speaker 6>building and kind of selling what we have here at

434
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:27.839
<v Speaker 6>the U of A. Right, So that's kind of the

435
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:32.039
<v Speaker 6>recruiting aspect. And then and then there's also the player retention, right,

436
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.359
<v Speaker 6>and that's making sure you know, our coaches and creating

437
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.720
<v Speaker 6>an opportunity for our players that when other teams come calling,

438
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:41.799
<v Speaker 6>which which is the nature of football nowadays, that we

439
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.400
<v Speaker 6>have the structures and systems in place to support them,

440
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:49.359
<v Speaker 6>you know. And that's socially, that's academically, spiritually, obviously athletically.

441
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.000
<v Speaker 6>And then now in the in the name, image and

442
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.480
<v Speaker 6>likeness space, you know, we have a beyond football program

443
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.839
<v Speaker 6>that Tobrio Blaine runs. She's in our director of player development,

444
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.240
<v Speaker 6>works with our guys deal in creating, you know, their

445
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.440
<v Speaker 6>brand and creating what she calls a parallel path. Not

446
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:08.240
<v Speaker 6>just everyone always talks about life after football, which is important,

447
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.240
<v Speaker 6>but the way that she builds it is she wants

448
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:14.240
<v Speaker 6>our guys to have football and whatever that next profession

449
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.000
<v Speaker 6>is kind of working side by side. So we've been

450
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.640
<v Speaker 6>really lucky here. We've got an incredible group of supporters

451
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.880
<v Speaker 6>and people who not only give obviously financially, but also

452
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:27.119
<v Speaker 6>give their time, mentorship, internship programs for our current players.

453
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.599
<v Speaker 6>Is really really important in the in the transfer portal era,

454
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:32.480
<v Speaker 6>is that the players need to feel like they're being

455
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:36.200
<v Speaker 6>supported not just from a football perspective, but kind of holistically.

456
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.200
<v Speaker 2>So in this whole process of getting here, and you've

457
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:43.279
<v Speaker 2>been here since Brennan got here, Uh, did you intend

458
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:46.599
<v Speaker 2>to coach in your previous life before here? And did

459
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.240
<v Speaker 2>you want and did you want? Because this is this

460
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.039
<v Speaker 2>is more administrative stuff. And you know when when you

461
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:53.119
<v Speaker 2>ask a kid what do you want to be? I

462
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:54.559
<v Speaker 2>want to be a pro baseball player or a pro

463
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:56.720
<v Speaker 2>football player. Well, when you're a kid, what did you

464
00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.519
<v Speaker 2>want to do? And and how what led you along

465
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>this path?

466
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'm a little bit like you guys. I think

467
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:05.440
<v Speaker 6>are a little bit older, right, And I always tell people,

468
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:08.920
<v Speaker 6>so I got my degree from Florida State in social

469
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.039
<v Speaker 6>studies education. So I was a high school coach and

470
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:13.519
<v Speaker 6>a teacher, so was my wife. You know, I thought

471
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 6>that's what I was going to do. I taught and

472
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:17.799
<v Speaker 6>my coach for for about six years and I taught

473
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:21.519
<v Speaker 6>football or steming coach football, wrestling, track. Just kind of

474
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:25.000
<v Speaker 6>had that that that that path really wanted to break

475
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:28.119
<v Speaker 6>into college football. I loved college football, like that's what

476
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:30.799
<v Speaker 6>I wanted to work in. For this reason or that reason.

477
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:32.720
<v Speaker 6>It just kind of didn't work out at the collegiate

478
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 6>level on the coaching side, But really in that process

479
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:38.720
<v Speaker 6>fell in love with recruiting and fell along with scouting

480
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.920
<v Speaker 6>and player evaluations and team building. And that's what took

481
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.319
<v Speaker 6>me from you know, a high school football coach to

482
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:46.359
<v Speaker 6>now now here at the U.

483
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:50.039
<v Speaker 4>Men. You know, when people think of the term GM,

484
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:52.559
<v Speaker 4>they look at the pro model in terms of a

485
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.119
<v Speaker 4>guy that roster builds and oh, you know, he chooses

486
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.720
<v Speaker 4>his coach. It's completely different obviously at the college. But

487
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:04.160
<v Speaker 4>you brought up the player development and the scouting side

488
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 4>of it. How important is it to have those things

489
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:11.400
<v Speaker 4>in place? And how useful is it for the coaching

490
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:13.720
<v Speaker 4>staff to have a guy like you that is out

491
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:18.000
<v Speaker 4>there scouting. This world of recruiting that has grown substantially,

492
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:20.680
<v Speaker 4>and it seems like it's harder and harder to find

493
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:24.039
<v Speaker 4>guys that are hidden gems that you would find back

494
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:26.559
<v Speaker 4>in the day. The hidden gum is a harder thing

495
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:27.440
<v Speaker 4>to find now.

496
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 6>It is. And I think a lot of that is,

497
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.319
<v Speaker 6>like you said, the volume, right, So like where we're

498
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker 6>at right now, from January when we had our mid

499
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.160
<v Speaker 6>year rolies to the summer. I mean we're going to

500
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:40.920
<v Speaker 6>bring in in the mid fifties new players, right, So

501
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:43.000
<v Speaker 6>we're for our coaches to be able to be on

502
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.519
<v Speaker 6>the road coaching or beyond the road recruiting. Obviously coaching,

503
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:49.039
<v Speaker 6>the volume is just so much bigger, where in the

504
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:51.319
<v Speaker 6>past you may only sign you know, twenty or twenty

505
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:54.000
<v Speaker 6>five guys. So to have people off the field that

506
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:57.920
<v Speaker 6>can create systems and processes and structures to allow our

507
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.720
<v Speaker 6>coaches to be at their best coaching. What my job

508
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.039
<v Speaker 6>is is to kind of filter through it all. Right.

509
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.400
<v Speaker 6>If a high school coach from Phoenix reaches out and

510
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:07.559
<v Speaker 6>they give us our prospect list, you know, me and

511
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.680
<v Speaker 6>my staff are the ones that evaluate them, will grade them.

512
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:13.240
<v Speaker 6>We have an internal grading system based on our critical

513
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.039
<v Speaker 6>factors at each position, and then we bring them to

514
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:18.279
<v Speaker 6>the position coaches, and then the position coaches will watch

515
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:20.160
<v Speaker 6>them and it kind of works up the ladder, and

516
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:22.079
<v Speaker 6>we really try to act like, you know, like an

517
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.839
<v Speaker 6>NFL scouting department, and we want to provide the background information,

518
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.000
<v Speaker 6>talk to the high school coaches, get that kind of

519
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:31.119
<v Speaker 6>character info as well, so then we can package that

520
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:33.839
<v Speaker 6>and give it to the coaches to then ultimately, you know,

521
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:36.119
<v Speaker 6>make the decision with coach Brennan on you know what

522
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:38.480
<v Speaker 6>players we want to bring in and bring into the program.

523
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 6>So it looks different, you know, sometimes the years it's

524
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:43.599
<v Speaker 6>heavy high school, like right now, all our coaches are

525
00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:46.200
<v Speaker 6>out on the road visiting high schools and high school coaches,

526
00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:48.519
<v Speaker 6>and obviously when it comes to portal season, it's a

527
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:53.000
<v Speaker 6>little more transfer portal, so it changes based on where

528
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.759
<v Speaker 6>you're in the calendar. But the foundation and the systems

529
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.440
<v Speaker 6>and the processes are all the same.

530
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:00.079
<v Speaker 2>Now to your point, shroy I was thinking about, you

531
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>know what timming goes through too, because there are no secrets, right,

532
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there's every school in the in the country

533
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 2>as you as, right, don't they have you doing the

534
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:12.680
<v Speaker 2>same thing somewhere else, and so you don't. Everyone kind

535
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:14.880
<v Speaker 2>of knows everything. But what when you do you go

536
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 2>overseas as well? And maybe look at people who potentially

537
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:20.599
<v Speaker 2>have that football potential.

538
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:24.680
<v Speaker 6>We definitely do, probably less so than than than coach

539
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:26.920
<v Speaker 6>with the you know, the basketball program. Obviously that's that's

540
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.920
<v Speaker 6>really mainstream. Sure, but you know we had, uh, you know,

541
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:32.599
<v Speaker 6>we had you know, we had a German tight end

542
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.119
<v Speaker 6>last year. We've got we signed a kid from New Zealand,

543
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:40.640
<v Speaker 6>a big defensive tackle. We signed an Australian punter. Uh

544
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:43.920
<v Speaker 6>had a defensive tackle you know from Obviously, the Polynesian

545
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:46.839
<v Speaker 6>community in Tongo and American so are huge to the

546
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:50.279
<v Speaker 6>u of A that Polynesia pipeline. So we absolutely will.

547
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:52.920
<v Speaker 6>Now it's a little bit different than basketball because in

548
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.839
<v Speaker 6>basketball they're playing the same game right in Europe or

549
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:58.799
<v Speaker 6>you know, Africa and wherever they're going. So typically what

550
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:01.640
<v Speaker 6>will happen is guys will come from overseas, maybe played

551
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 6>a junior college or a prep school, and then that's

552
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:06.519
<v Speaker 6>when we see some of the football foundation to kind

553
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 6>of recruit them for our response. But yeah, you know,

554
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 6>we'll probably have four or five international kids every year

555
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 6>on the roster.

556
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:13.839
<v Speaker 4>You know, I know, for a lot of journalists out

557
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:16.039
<v Speaker 4>there and for a lot of people out there, National

558
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:19.440
<v Speaker 4>Signing Day has become a heck of a lot more

559
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:22.039
<v Speaker 4>hectic than it was just three or four years ago.

560
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:25.279
<v Speaker 4>What is that day and what are those signing periods

561
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:28.319
<v Speaker 4>like for you and your staff, because not only like

562
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:30.880
<v Speaker 4>you said, as at high school, it's transfer portal, it's

563
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.319
<v Speaker 4>juco kids. It seems like a whole abundance of things

564
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:36.640
<v Speaker 4>going on that day that really never used to happen

565
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:37.720
<v Speaker 4>before to that level.

566
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you really kind of have four signing days now,

567
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:43.640
<v Speaker 6>it's a little bit different, like you know, traditionally, right,

568
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:46.039
<v Speaker 6>it was that day in February, you know, that Wednesday

569
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:48.960
<v Speaker 6>in February, and everyone you know, you flipped onto you know,

570
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.400
<v Speaker 6>your scouting side of choice if you follow high school kids.

571
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:55.799
<v Speaker 6>Now you've got you know, the December signing period, and

572
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:57.640
<v Speaker 6>then you're going to have you know, you're going to

573
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:00.160
<v Speaker 6>have your your you know, your February signing period, and

574
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:02.880
<v Speaker 6>then you have the spring portal window in April, and

575
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:04.759
<v Speaker 6>then you know you're still able to add players kind

576
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.960
<v Speaker 6>of throughout the summer. But to answer your question, signing day,

577
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.279
<v Speaker 6>it really is a culmination of a lot of work, right,

578
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.039
<v Speaker 6>you know, eighteen months, twenty four months of work that

579
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:17.079
<v Speaker 6>is put in getting to know the families, hosting them

580
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:19.319
<v Speaker 6>on visits, getting to know the parents and the high

581
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:21.839
<v Speaker 6>school coaches. So so you know, it's definitely a moment

582
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:24.880
<v Speaker 6>of pride. It's definitely a moment of accomplishment. Uh. And

583
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:28.480
<v Speaker 6>it's really fun when when coach Brennan's making those calls

584
00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:30.759
<v Speaker 6>and see the excitement in the family. You know, this

585
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 6>is you know, I've done this a while, right, I've

586
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:34.599
<v Speaker 6>been to a lot of signing day ceremonies, but for

587
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker 6>the kids, it's there only one, right, so we really

588
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:39.640
<v Speaker 6>want to respect that process. And and you do get

589
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:42.960
<v Speaker 6>humbled by the families and the reactions of their you know,

590
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.799
<v Speaker 6>their kid or their grandson, whomever it is. And it's

591
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:47.640
<v Speaker 6>something that I always I always enjoyed. It's a little

592
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:49.920
<v Speaker 6>bit like Christmas morning for me. But then we tell

593
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:51.839
<v Speaker 6>them like, hey, signing day is just one step. Now

594
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.839
<v Speaker 6>you got to get here the work and then and

595
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:56.880
<v Speaker 6>then develop into the football players you want to develop into.

596
00:27:57.720 --> 00:27:59.079
<v Speaker 6>We always tell people, hey, you don't want you know,

597
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:00.599
<v Speaker 6>we don't want to win signing you know, we want

598
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:01.640
<v Speaker 6>to win Saturdays in the fall.

599
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:03.200
<v Speaker 4>That's what we're focusing Christmas.

600
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.440
<v Speaker 2>When you open the presence, you really don't know what

601
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>you got until three four months later or longer, and

602
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.759
<v Speaker 2>sometimes the gift turns out to be not to get

603
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:11.680
<v Speaker 2>you thought it was right.

604
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:14.759
<v Speaker 6>It's a developmental it's a developmental game.

605
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:15.039
<v Speaker 8>You know.

606
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:17.559
<v Speaker 6>There's definitely guys we think, you know, hopefully will help

607
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:20.519
<v Speaker 6>us as freshmen or early in their careers. But people

608
00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:23.079
<v Speaker 6>have their own developmental pass and you know, getting whether

609
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:24.799
<v Speaker 6>that's in the weight room or from an ex as

610
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:27.759
<v Speaker 6>an o standpoint. But that's a beautiful thing about football.

611
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:29.880
<v Speaker 6>It's the ultimate team game for that point.

612
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.160
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you who found whom? Did the

613
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Brent find you or you searched Arizona and Brent.

614
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.000
<v Speaker 6>That's a great question. The football world is a very small,

615
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 6>a very small circle. So I was I was at

616
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:47.039
<v Speaker 6>UNLB for the twenty twenty one twenty two seasons as

617
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:49.559
<v Speaker 6>the chief of staff and director of player personnel. The

618
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.559
<v Speaker 6>head coach there was Marcus and Royal. Coach roy and

619
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.039
<v Speaker 6>I are really close and he's been a great mentor

620
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:58.640
<v Speaker 6>to me. And Coach Royal and coach Brennan when he

621
00:28:58.680 --> 00:29:01.960
<v Speaker 6>was at San Jose State obviously friends. So I met

622
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.680
<v Speaker 6>coach b uh through that process kind of on the

623
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:07.920
<v Speaker 6>field across from each other, you know, and then you know,

624
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:10.039
<v Speaker 6>didn't know him really really well, to be honest, but

625
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:12.680
<v Speaker 6>just got obviously through Country Royal and when they were

626
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.039
<v Speaker 6>looking for someone to kind of head up the personnel department,

627
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:17.279
<v Speaker 6>Coach Royal put in a good name for me, and

628
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:20.559
<v Speaker 6>you know, obviously very grateful and humbled that he did that,

629
00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:23.359
<v Speaker 6>and Coach Coach called me, kind of went through the

630
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:26.160
<v Speaker 6>interview process, and then that hopped out a plane and

631
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:27.400
<v Speaker 6>headed into something.

632
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:32.400
<v Speaker 4>What are the challenges because Arizona has obviously been trying

633
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.480
<v Speaker 4>to get more into the state of Texas in terms

634
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.720
<v Speaker 4>of recruiting and having a footprint there, But what are

635
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.960
<v Speaker 4>the challenges of doing that in Texas where you have

636
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 4>all these universities and major universities that are recruiting in

637
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.240
<v Speaker 4>the same area and you guys being in Arizona trying

638
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:52.680
<v Speaker 4>to re establish a foot footing there in that state,

639
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:54.200
<v Speaker 4>what are what are the challenges of that?

640
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:57.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that Texas is going to be huge for us.

641
00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:59.960
<v Speaker 6>It's something obviously with the move to the Big twelve

642
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:03.000
<v Speaker 6>that's going to be critical for our success. You know,

643
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.200
<v Speaker 6>we'll always make Arizona, Utah, Southern California home basement, but

644
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:09.359
<v Speaker 6>Texas is going to be critical. I think I think

645
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:11.680
<v Speaker 6>the biggest challenge is just the name recognition right in

646
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:15.000
<v Speaker 6>the brand, Like Arizona has such a strong brand with

647
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.119
<v Speaker 6>with women's softball, women's basketball, and men's basketball, but then

648
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.960
<v Speaker 6>competing against those Texas Big twelve schools, so kind of

649
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.960
<v Speaker 6>getting in there and continuing to sell our brand and

650
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:29.200
<v Speaker 6>sign players. The other thing is just you know, logistical, right,

651
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:30.960
<v Speaker 6>Like if you're a kid from Dallas, like you can

652
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:33.720
<v Speaker 6>go to those schools much easier, right, that's just to

653
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:36.000
<v Speaker 6>drive down the road. So what we try to give

654
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.160
<v Speaker 6>them is a different option. We try to say, hey,

655
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:40.119
<v Speaker 6>you're going to play big time college football. You know

656
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:42.200
<v Speaker 6>you're going to play in the Big twelve, You're going

657
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:45.279
<v Speaker 6>to play in front of your family a lot in Texas.

658
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:47.839
<v Speaker 6>But then also why don't you kind of set your

659
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.240
<v Speaker 6>path a little different. You know, come to Tusaana, and

660
00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:52.319
<v Speaker 6>you guys know, as soon as parents and families and

661
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:54.039
<v Speaker 6>the kids get here that they fall in love with

662
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.920
<v Speaker 6>the town, They fall in love with the collegiate atmosphere

663
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:00.880
<v Speaker 6>and the support four hour student athletes. So once we

664
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:03.920
<v Speaker 6>get them here, we feel pretty good. But you know,

665
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:06.240
<v Speaker 6>obviously we're gonna have to win, continue to do a

666
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 6>great job in that space and prove that we can

667
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.000
<v Speaker 6>develop players. But we're really excited. We feel like we

668
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:12.759
<v Speaker 6>did a really nice job in Texas in the twenty

669
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:16.119
<v Speaker 6>twenty five class, and we're super excited for twenty twenty six.

670
00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:18.920
<v Speaker 6>You know with coach Dad's a Texas guy, Coach Ronnie

671
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:21.559
<v Speaker 6>Palmer's a Texas guy. So we still have those Texas

672
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:24.480
<v Speaker 6>ties on our on our on our staff, which are

673
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:25.640
<v Speaker 6>going to be really important for us.

674
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.119
<v Speaker 2>To your point, Rich Rod used to say, uh, and

675
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:30.519
<v Speaker 2>we all know this. I've been here a long time,

676
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Troy grew up here probably yeah, Ty where you know,

677
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.720
<v Speaker 2>this is Tucson. People usually fly over Tucson to get

678
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:40.160
<v Speaker 2>to La or wherever. You know what I'm saying, it's

679
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:42.839
<v Speaker 2>it's not the destination place. But once they land, like

680
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:45.160
<v Speaker 2>you said, and they get to see the place, just

681
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:47.640
<v Speaker 2>get them here and they'll realize how cool this place is.

682
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and it's something different right and and this is

683
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:54.480
<v Speaker 6>again no disrespect to those are great institutions, but they're

684
00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:57.920
<v Speaker 6>bigger cities right there, the more metroplexus and and we're

685
00:31:57.960 --> 00:31:59.880
<v Speaker 6>Tucson is it's u of AG. I mean, that's what

686
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.680
<v Speaker 6>people love and that's what people care about. And and

687
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:04.880
<v Speaker 6>it's a great city that you can you can live

688
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:07.519
<v Speaker 6>here and create a great network professionally, you know, that

689
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:10.519
<v Speaker 6>parallel path that we talked about earlier. So that's a

690
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:12.279
<v Speaker 6>big one is getting them, getting them on campus. You know,

691
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:14.720
<v Speaker 6>we're gonna have a ton of official visits coming up

692
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.359
<v Speaker 6>here the next handful of weeks where we're gonna have

693
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:18.559
<v Speaker 6>kids from all over where we really get to kind

694
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:20.480
<v Speaker 6>of show off the city and show off our schools.

695
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:21.559
<v Speaker 6>So we're excited about that.

696
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.200
<v Speaker 4>So you said you were in at UNLV and I

697
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:28.279
<v Speaker 4>read in the background bio you were at Western Michigan,

698
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:31.920
<v Speaker 4>I believe, before Arizona. What was it like adjusting to

699
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:35.319
<v Speaker 4>this Tucson weather, the Tucson summers for you.

700
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's the three years in Vegas health, right, so

701
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:41.880
<v Speaker 6>we got least with college football, as you guys know,

702
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:44.400
<v Speaker 6>brings you everywhere. I grew up in Florida, but in

703
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:48.200
<v Speaker 6>the Midwest and the West Coast. As I've gotten older,

704
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:51.200
<v Speaker 6>I've realized I'm more a fan of the desert heat.

705
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:53.680
<v Speaker 6>So it's it's nice not having to shuttle snow and

706
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:56.480
<v Speaker 6>get to work every day. So I'm I'm a shorts

707
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:58.559
<v Speaker 6>and foot flops to the office kind of guy. But

708
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:00.759
<v Speaker 6>I really enjoyed it. It's been but I've got two

709
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.000
<v Speaker 6>little kids, so they've they've really enjoyed the outdoors, the

710
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:05.799
<v Speaker 6>hiking and the campaign and that kind of stuff. So

711
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:07.640
<v Speaker 6>we've we've really enjoyed our time here some more.

712
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:09.799
<v Speaker 2>I'll leave this to be the last question because we've

713
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:13.400
<v Speaker 2>got to get out. But what's what's a nice day

714
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.119
<v Speaker 2>for you? And is there ever a slow day because

715
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:19.799
<v Speaker 2>you're probably always looking at film from somebody or out

716
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.720
<v Speaker 2>to seek somebody or whatever, because uh, you know, football

717
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:29.279
<v Speaker 2>nowadays is almost twenty four seven five, or is it

718
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:29.680
<v Speaker 2>it is?

719
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 6>It is certainly in like the recruiting space, right, you know,

720
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:34.880
<v Speaker 6>with the coaches, there's a lot of the x's and o's,

721
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.279
<v Speaker 6>you know, but for recruiting for us, it's you know,

722
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.400
<v Speaker 6>we'll have a bunch of summer camps coming up in June,

723
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:41.759
<v Speaker 6>or we'll have prospects on campus and and then you

724
00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:43.640
<v Speaker 6>look into the season, right, how are we going to

725
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:46.640
<v Speaker 6>you know, go through our cut up processes, which is

726
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.160
<v Speaker 6>how we make cutout taps on each kid and evaluate

727
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:52.039
<v Speaker 6>so it doesn't really stop. You know, July is a

728
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.039
<v Speaker 6>nice little break in the dead period, you know, before

729
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:57.920
<v Speaker 6>you get to August. But I love what I do.

730
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.200
<v Speaker 6>I really do. You know, I'm really humble for the

731
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:02.279
<v Speaker 6>opportunity to, like I said earlier, to be here and

732
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:06.079
<v Speaker 6>work in college football. It's something that I worked really

733
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.639
<v Speaker 6>hard to get here. But at the same time, like,

734
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:10.360
<v Speaker 6>if I can come to this building every day and

735
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:12.599
<v Speaker 6>get to be around the kid and be around the coaches,

736
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.440
<v Speaker 6>it's something that's really special that I definitely don't don't

737
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:19.199
<v Speaker 6>take for granted. So even the hardest day in my

738
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:21.440
<v Speaker 6>chair is really is really special.

739
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:24.000
<v Speaker 2>You get to do exactly what you wanted to do. Coach,

740
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:27.000
<v Speaker 2>thanks a bunch for joining us. Appreciate good to know you,

741
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:28.400
<v Speaker 2>and then the job.

742
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:31.159
<v Speaker 6>Of course, so I really appreciate it. If you guys

743
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:33.639
<v Speaker 6>ever need anything, let us know. And Breda you.

744
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Get our tapes and you can evaluate those later. Yes, sir,

745
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:42.639
<v Speaker 2>thanks coach, appreciate it. We got to go come back.

817
00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:36.199
<v Speaker 2>grumpy Troy Okay Ray Sunshine Roy Ray, Sorry, take it

818
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:39.280
<v Speaker 2>and me your host. I was good to talk to him.

819
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:41.079
<v Speaker 2>It was good to find out what's going on. Yeah,

820
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:43.159
<v Speaker 2>every school does it. I'm sure that they go through

821
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:46.119
<v Speaker 2>tons of video and well and quests.

822
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:48.719
<v Speaker 4>Hear the name in GM, and you automatically thinks the

823
00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:51.679
<v Speaker 4>Pro style and it's like, no, that it's very different,

824
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:52.519
<v Speaker 4>very different.

825
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:54.960
<v Speaker 2>And Arizona has a couple of those dudes, not GM,

826
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:59.320
<v Speaker 2>but another guy that helps uh Brennan. I'm sure the

827
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:01.239
<v Speaker 2>schools do, you know, just right hand and just to

828
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:03.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of let him do his coaching and the other

829
00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:04.800
<v Speaker 2>people do other things.

830
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:10.119
<v Speaker 4>Chief of staff recruiting director GM. Right, No, who's the

831
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:10.840
<v Speaker 4>finance guy?

832
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Then if like like you said, because it's not like

833
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:14.559
<v Speaker 5>the Pro style, it's like very different.

834
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:17.239
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm sure there's a finance person there, I don't

835
00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:20.280
<v Speaker 4>you think or just that's the at that they probably

836
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:23.119
<v Speaker 4>have like a finance person in terms of what they

837
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:25.719
<v Speaker 4>have in terms of nil what they can do. Oh okay,

838
00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:28.320
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't he be the guy or he could probably be

839
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:30.360
<v Speaker 4>part of it. But I'm sure there's somebody out more

840
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:32.559
<v Speaker 4>more about the money.

841
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Tell me, tell me why the programs are going under financially.

842
00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:38.800
<v Speaker 2>You got all these people, Oh yeah.

843
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:42.000
<v Speaker 4>We'll create a job do word, but it we got it, hey,

844
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:46.880
<v Speaker 4>transfer and nil. It's changed a lot, no question.

845
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's of course has changed. It's not the

846
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:51.840
<v Speaker 2>team that I covered twenty five years ago. That's for

847
00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:52.360
<v Speaker 2>damn sure.

848
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:55.719
<v Speaker 4>Imagine telling Dick Tomy you're gonna need a GM chief

849
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:59.239
<v Speaker 4>of staff recruiting director. He's gonna say, what the hell for?

850
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:03.360
<v Speaker 2>I got the stuff under control. Almost cussed this stuff

851
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:05.199
<v Speaker 2>on the guy. I don't need no right hand man.

852
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:08.239
<v Speaker 2>I know what I'm doing. You know I'm joking, of course.

853
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Well but I'm joking, of course because back in the

854
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:12.960
<v Speaker 2>day they just did what they did. You know, give

873
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:11.480
<v Speaker 4>How many college World Series did it get to? You

874
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:14.000

878
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:25.719
<v Speaker 4>what they do.

879
00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's another program that has a long history and

880
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:31.719
<v Speaker 2>a good history, and other programs have gotten better too.

00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:11.039
<v Speaker 4>except for maybe nil again.

896
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:13.360
<v Speaker 2>And I okay, nil and pitching history. I mean, over

897
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:15.920
<v Speaker 2>the last ten fifteen years, it lost that luster. It

898
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:19.599
<v Speaker 2>just lost it. Tendrea didn't have that either. He lost

899
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:21.199
<v Speaker 2>it too with the pitching.

900
00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:24.039
<v Speaker 4>He did, but his pitching was still substantially better than

901
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:25.920
<v Speaker 4>what they have right now. Well, it's okay.

902
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:28.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, I used to be thin and young too.

903
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Not so bunch anymore. I mean Stanford they were able

904
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:38.960
<v Speaker 4>to Nigi Kennedy again. I know she got the million

905
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:42.039
<v Speaker 4>dollar deal from Texas tack she's going back. Well, no,

906
00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:45.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying that when she transferred from from Stanford to

907
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:48.159
<v Speaker 4>Texas tack right, the report was around a million dollars

908
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:51.480
<v Speaker 4>in terms of the transfer right. But the original recruitment

909
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:53.159
<v Speaker 4>of her, I mean she was in the middle of

910
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:58.079
<v Speaker 4>nowhere Kansas. Yeah, you know, Montana, outset Alabama, middle of nowhere, Kentucky.

911
00:42:58.519 --> 00:43:03.559
<v Speaker 4>They were out there recruiting them. They lifted rocks, stuck

912
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:05.800
<v Speaker 4>up this, you know what I mean. But you're sticking

913
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:08.840
<v Speaker 4>in southern California. We got the Bathbusters, so see Batbusters.

914
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:11.639
<v Speaker 4>We're happy with that. Well, if they're not producing anymore

915
00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:13.119
<v Speaker 4>and you're not getting in the top talent, I always

916
00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:15.119
<v Speaker 4>see bat buses, you better start leaguing somewhere else.

917
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:19.280
<v Speaker 2>That sounds like a column call them at a nice

918
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:20.480
<v Speaker 2>little take here on the radio.

919
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:26.639
<v Speaker 4>I get it. I get it. Recruit other places than California.

920
00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:30.519
<v Speaker 4>You have to give yourself more options, and they're not

921
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.880
<v Speaker 4>not as much as what they could. I mean, I

922
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:34.519
<v Speaker 4>don't think there was a player from the state of

923
00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Texas on the roster. You can't tell me there's not

924
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:38.960
<v Speaker 4>softball talent in Texas.

925
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:41.920
<v Speaker 2>No, well, Texas Texas and m were pretty good. Some

926
00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:42.840
<v Speaker 2>of the other ones were pretty good.

927
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:44.159
<v Speaker 4>Somewhere in the South. Again, it is the game of

928
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.719
<v Speaker 4>softball is growing somewhere in the South. Now. Ali skagg

929
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:48.440
<v Speaker 4>she was a top player in the state of Kentucky.

930
00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:50.880
<v Speaker 4>She transferred to the state of Arizona, went to the

931
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:52.440
<v Speaker 4>u of A. I think she was probably going to

932
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:55.320
<v Speaker 4>the u of A before she came to Tucson and

933
00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:57.679
<v Speaker 4>played at Iron Royd her rap last year in high school.

934
00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:01.480
<v Speaker 4>But you got to do more of that. It's just

935
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:04.039
<v Speaker 4>too it's such a big game now to just stick

936
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:06.000
<v Speaker 4>to one area. No, of course not.

937
00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that's that's they're probably trying that, just not

938
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:10.039
<v Speaker 2>having any success.

939
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:10.719
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

940
00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a question for her to be asked

941
00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:16.360
<v Speaker 2>and for her to answer, you know, because I still

942
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:18.800
<v Speaker 2>think that Arizona has a name, but maybe not as

943
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:21.079
<v Speaker 2>named as everyone thinks.

944
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:22.840
<v Speaker 4>That they are. Well, for sure, they're no longer thought

945
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:24.280
<v Speaker 4>of as an Oklahoma or you.

946
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:26.599
<v Speaker 2>See, right, those are the good old days. But what

947
00:44:26.679 --> 00:44:28.239
<v Speaker 2>was last time they wanted title? Oh?

948
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:29.599
<v Speaker 4>Seven oh seven?

949
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so little a little later than the men's basketball program.

950
00:44:33.719 --> 00:44:35.559
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel the same way about Arizona basketball.

951
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:39.039
<v Speaker 4>I think Arizona basketball isn't what it used to be

952
00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:42.679
<v Speaker 4>in the nineties, same conversation, But their talent draw is

953
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:44.719
<v Speaker 4>much higher than what softball has been doing over the

954
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:48.199
<v Speaker 4>last four years. And I think they're at a better

955
00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:50.519
<v Speaker 4>spot too. I think they're in a better spot to

956
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:53.880
<v Speaker 4>actually compete for a national title compared to softball, where

957
00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:56.239
<v Speaker 4>you're just trying to get to a Super Right now,

958
00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:00.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean again outside of the her here the one.

959
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:02.920
<v Speaker 2>So so, had they gone to a Super would you

960
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:04.920
<v Speaker 2>still feel the same that you're talking right now?

961
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:07.239
<v Speaker 4>I'd give them a little bit more the way if

962
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:09.559
<v Speaker 4>they got to Super this year again they did failed

963
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:12.440
<v Speaker 4>and failed and failed. Yeah, at least make it competitive.

964
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:15.639
<v Speaker 4>Now they got there and they got smacked, run rolled

965
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:17.360
<v Speaker 4>in both games, now i'd be having this.

966
00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:19.920
<v Speaker 2>So so in review of the men's basketball program. How

967
00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:22.119
<v Speaker 2>did they do overall this season?

968
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think they did a good job because they

969
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:28.000
<v Speaker 4>were very competitive against Duke, and everybody thought Duke was

970
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:31.239
<v Speaker 4>the national championship level team. H It wasn't like they

971
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:33.119
<v Speaker 4>got smacked against Houston Thomas first.

972
00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Don't you think that the last two or three games,

973
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:38.840
<v Speaker 2>the last two or three weeks of the Pro of

974
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the season, elevated the season and how you looked at

975
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.320
<v Speaker 2>it up until there was a point there where you're thinking,

976
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:48.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm not you specifically, but many thought, oh, this is

977
00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:49.320
<v Speaker 2>not very good.

978
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:52.039
<v Speaker 4>They're not really well. Let's be honest. After that UCLA game,

979
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:53.559
<v Speaker 4>I was on the radio view and I said, I

980
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:55.039
<v Speaker 4>don't know they're going to make the tournament. You're talking

981
00:45:55.079 --> 00:45:57.199
<v Speaker 4>about the December game. December game, I don't know if

982
00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:00.960
<v Speaker 4>they're going to make the turn four and five, especially

983
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:02.480
<v Speaker 4>going into a top So when did it change?

984
00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:04.199
<v Speaker 2>Had it would change only in the last month because

985
00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:06.559
<v Speaker 2>they were still that same kind of Okay, what's happening.

986
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:09.000
<v Speaker 2>They went on that nice streak, but they hadn't played anybody,

987
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:11.039
<v Speaker 2>and then they got beat a few times. Yeah, and

988
00:46:11.079 --> 00:46:12.840
<v Speaker 2>then I can't remember who they played twelve turnam, I

989
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.599
<v Speaker 2>will stay, I will stay here, and they want that

990
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:17.199
<v Speaker 2>that game here in the last second.

991
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:20.440
<v Speaker 4>And I think the big twelve tournament twelve tournament kind

992
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:22.920
<v Speaker 4>of started turning things around, and you got it. That's

993
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:28.519
<v Speaker 4>mid March it is again. I just don't think they

994
00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:30.519
<v Speaker 4>ended up at the same place they did last year.

995
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.480
<v Speaker 4>The season before three sixteen they did, so there was

996
00:46:33.519 --> 00:46:36.360
<v Speaker 4>but I'll give you this. There's more happy faces this

997
00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:39.679
<v Speaker 4>year than there were last yearn the way the difference is,

998
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:43.639
<v Speaker 4>everybody thought Duke was gonna win that game, Like most

999
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:46.400
<v Speaker 4>people thought there was gonna win their game. Nobody thought

1000
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:48.559
<v Speaker 4>in their right mind clubs, someone's going to be in Arizona.

1001
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:51.400
<v Speaker 4>They thought, of course, of course, maybe they could give

1002
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:53.119
<v Speaker 4>them a game, but Arizona should beat them. Get to

1003
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:55.239
<v Speaker 4>a sweet sixteen, I mean Elite eight, sorry, Lade eight.

1004
00:46:55.800 --> 00:46:59.000
<v Speaker 4>And you underformed this one. You kind of overperformed because

1005
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:00.960
<v Speaker 4>it was close and everybody, dude was going to just

1006
00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:04.119
<v Speaker 4>wallop Arizona. So I think there's a difference there.

1007
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And it turned out, you know, kind of rehab

1008
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:12.039
<v Speaker 2>the team's perception, rehabbed Caleb Love's perception in the way

1009
00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:15.400
<v Speaker 2>he played last a few weeks, a few three.

1010
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:18.920
<v Speaker 4>Weeks, Yeah, basically from the Big Ball Tournament on phenomenal.

1011
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.800
<v Speaker 4>Well that's two yeah, two three weeks. Yeah. And first

1012
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:27.119
<v Speaker 4>of all, you just again that talent, that's what I

1013
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:29.000
<v Speaker 4>keep coming back. So they probably played to the level

1014
00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:32.400
<v Speaker 4>of what they were capable of. And that is that good?

1015
00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:37.760
<v Speaker 4>Is that good enough? I don't know, depends how loftier

1016
00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:40.480
<v Speaker 4>expectations are. And I know they're high here. I know

1017
00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:40.880
<v Speaker 4>they are.

1018
00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not trying to be a defender of her

1019
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:46.480
<v Speaker 2>aora or or whatever you're trying to do. But no,

1020
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:50.280
<v Speaker 2>right whatever, I have no idea what you're trying to

1021
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:51.599
<v Speaker 2>do or say.

1022
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:56.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going to defend either way. I think we've

1023
00:47:56.039 --> 00:47:59.199
<v Speaker 4>seen enough where it's time to start thinking about possibly

1024
00:47:59.199 --> 00:47:59.599
<v Speaker 4>a change.

1025
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:02.079
<v Speaker 2>I saw a post like that on Facebook and I

1026
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:05.320
<v Speaker 2>couldn't believe I saw that post. They were doing really well, seasons.

1027
00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:07.679
<v Speaker 2>It is what it is. They got to this point

1028
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:12.239
<v Speaker 2>and I covered them, and when he first won the title,

1029
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:15.159
<v Speaker 2>first one, two titles, I don't I don't won't go

1030
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:15.599
<v Speaker 2>that far.

1031
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:16.599
<v Speaker 4>I won't go that far.

1032
00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:20.960
<v Speaker 2>But but you can't send letters to Troy, No, no,

1033
00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:23.239
<v Speaker 2>send letters and emails to Troy. Don't send them to me.

1034
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:29.920
<v Speaker 4>And nobody's getting my number. No, Yeah, hold on, I

1035
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:34.039
<v Speaker 4>can find you here. They can call and say you Dubby. Oh,

1065
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:54.079
<v Speaker 4>You know, some I'm going to be honest, some of
