BYU Football has 48 00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:38,400 been engaged in the transfer portal, not maybe as much 49 00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:42,800 as other teams. Right, it's quality over quantity for BYU. 50 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,560 This offseason then we have eight acquisitions. 51 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:45,599 Speaker 3: Via the portal. 52 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: They got thirteen, leaving eight added to the squad on 53 00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:55,879 three currently has BYU Football's transfer portal class rate fourteenth 54 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,280 in the nation. 55 00:02:57,719 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: Your reaction to that news. 56 00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:03,319 Speaker 5: Well, I know this is something that's earned, but wow, 57 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960 the way that we've been building the last few years, 58 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,879 I can't imagine not being viewed as a national powerhouse 59 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,439 and being a big part of national contention every year. 60 00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:16,800 I think it's phenomenal where we finished last year, but 61 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:20,080 looking at us as a consistent perennial top twenty, even 62 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,199 top fifteen team and hopefully real soon top ten team 63 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,000 is more of the norm, and I think we're starting 64 00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,800 to get more attention even back East, which is something 65 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,520 that excites me. I think is phenomenal. 66 00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: Let's talk markets and finances and wealth management and what's 67 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:38,080 going on right now in the markets. I've been texting 68 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,840 you a little bit about this is you know, a 69 00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:43,039 couple of weeks ago, I was discussing, Hey, what you 70 00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:46,800 know silver, silver, silver and gold, gold and silver as 71 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,879 the old Rootolph the red nose reindeer Clay Mason used 72 00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:54,639 to say, was it you Concordelius? Silver and gold, gold 73 00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:58,719 and silver, copper also surging? What is up with the 74 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,680 explosive rad ally sweeps over the metals market right now? 75 00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:05,039 Speaker 3: What are you seeing here? 76 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,039 Speaker 2: Why is it that this particular fluctuation and rise is 77 00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:12,680 occurring right now in the metal markets. 78 00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, well I have I've enjoyed our conversation talking about 79 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,120 silver in particular. 80 00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:19,959 Speaker 5: And you know, as I think about. 81 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:24,079 Speaker 4: The different alternative asset classes or things outside of maybe 82 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,920 the S and P five hundred or the traditional stocks, 83 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,959 people are looking for a few different avenues. They're looking 84 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,959 for some additional options, and a lot of it has 85 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,040 to do with the markets peaking like they have, which 86 00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:39,319 is great, but I think it shows a lot of 87 00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:43,240 people understand that the principle, hey, you want to be 88 00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,920 selling when things are up, look for some other balance 89 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,120 and asset classes commodities. A lot of times people think 90 00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,639 of it when the markets are down. What we're seeing 91 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,600 is what the market's being up, but being at all 92 00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:58,000 time highs. People are looking at a few different asset classes, 93 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,199 whether it be real estate with interest rates coming down, 94 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,680 or whether it be gold and silver as commodities. And 95 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,920 I think a lot of it has to do with 96 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,240 rebalancing portfolios that often takes place this time of year, 97 00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:14,279 and you want to avoid what's called portfolio drift. And 98 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,360 the market has been up, people are up their asset 99 00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:20,279 classes in equities, their allocation is probably a lot higher 100 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,600 than normal, and there's we're seeing a little bit of shift, 101 00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:27,959 but really it's just creating balance into portfolios. Silver's definitely 102 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,279 been a benefactor and there's been a great run, especially 103 00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:31,120 since November. 104 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 3: Let's get back to football talk. 105 00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw Mark Harland, the ad 106 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,399 of the University of Utah, took his commentary to Twitter. 107 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,720 Now that could be a good thing or a bad thing, 108 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,920 depending on how you feel about it. But he quote 109 00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:53,639 tweeted Celessie Moa. Okay, so there was a rivals tweet. Actually, 110 00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:56,199 so it says news. Okay, this is what he ended 111 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,279 up quote tweeting, Okay, so this is the original tweet. 112 00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:01,399 Speaker 3: News breaking news four star athletes. 113 00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:05,639 Speaker 2: Celestie Moo will announce his commitment on January sixteenth at 114 00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:09,759 the Polynesia Bowl. Per Greg Biggins, Moa was a short 115 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:15,079 term Utah signee and and so uh, Celestie is the son. 116 00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 3: Of Ben Moa, Ben Moo in all time Utah great. 117 00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:18,519 Speaker 5: Uh. 118 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,759 Speaker 2: We know Ice Moa and Shoneimoa both played at BYU. 119 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,199 They entered the portal, they went to Michigan State. I 120 00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:28,279 think Yukon respectively, but there's connectivity between Utah obviously and 121 00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:32,879 BYU here. Celestie was a commit signed with bor Shine, 122 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,240 signed with Utah uh in this last class, but decided, Hey, 123 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,079 I'm going to resend that I'm going to open up 124 00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:42,519 my recruitment with the changes with the coaching staff. 125 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,639 Speaker 3: Kyle Whittingham gone, Jason Beck gone, and. 126 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: So Mark Carlin quote with it says, well, Kama, he 127 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,199 was with us in class for last week. Public announcement. 128 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,399 Dot dot dot seen it all now, Probably it doesn't 129 00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:02,079 even make sense. It does it's it's it's a drunken 130 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,199 stupor tweet, and it begs the question, It's like, what 131 00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:09,720 is Mark Harlan's like most embarrassing moment. I got five 132 00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:13,040 of them.

I've never seen an 150 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,720 ad run onto the football field to ty to try 151 00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:05,480 to talk to a ref. 152 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: He did such. 153 00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: Number four purportedly pushing out Kyle witting him for the 154 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,839 head coach in waiting Morgan scally.

We're working through a complex case 187 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,320 right now that involves a ten thirty one exchange and 188 00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:03,840 little gains deferrals, and these are clients and folks that 189 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,440 we've met through the show. 190 00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 5: But really the. 191 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,879 Speaker 4: Objective of these discovery meetings is to provide meaningful perspective 192 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,440 and even a recommendation from an industry professional, a certified 193 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,679 financial planner, and help address a question at hand. Oftentimes 194 00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:26,360 those questions are related to long term goals about retirement 195 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:29,960 or creating an amount of passive income, and so We 196 00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:32,759 have a lot of analysis that we put together and 197 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,000 help people work backwards with the end in mind, and 198 00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:39,080 these strategy sessions or these discovery calls give us an 199 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,399 opportunity to do exactly that, to help discover some of 200 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,440 the needs, provide some additional input from a certified financial planner, 201 00:10:47,879 --> 00:10:50,320 and our goal with each call is to make sure 202 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,480 that there's some value that's provided that a listener can 203 00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:56,759 walk away with additional perspective or a recommendation something to 204 00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:59,720 look into. And the calls have been great. We enjoy 205 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,679 talking to listeners and have been able to learn a 206 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,120 lot about clients and listeners really from all around and 207 00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:10,440 even outside of Utah. I've been surprised at how many 208 00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:13,960 folks and people and listeners are from outside of Utah County. 209 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have wealth management officers in Idaho, Utah, Colorado, 210 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,080 and Arizona.

We have a little 316 00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:21,639 technical difficulties. Well, hey, okay, I wanted to I wanted 317 00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:24,120 to get into a couple of things with you here 318 00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:26,559 today on a little keeping up with the cougar segment 319 00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:28,200 brought to you by Odion Menswear. 320 00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 3: Uh, you took some heat. We've talked about it before. 321 00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:34,679 Speaker 2: You said that Bear Bachmeyer reminds you of a better 322 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,919 throwing Tim Tebow. Obviously it played out very much like that. 323 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,360 Bear Bachmeyer was tremendous. She was fantastic. Give me an 324 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,399 overall eval of Bear Blochmeyer year one at b YU. 325 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 5: Uh. To be honest with you, I you know, the 326 00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:57,440 expectation is probably a little bit highering provo for a 327 00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:02,600 quarterback based on the tradition, But you know, you have 328 00:17:02,679 --> 00:17:05,640 a true freshman and you've got to be really, really 329 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,599 careful as far as expectations. So I really didn't have many, 330 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,839 if at all, because you're just setting yourself up when 331 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:23,079 you have unreal unrealistic expectations to create resentment when those 332 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,319 expectations aren't met. And so, at least for me my 333 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,279 point of view, didn't have a lot of expectations. So 334 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,400 when you don't have a lot of expectations, you can, 335 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,279 I guess, consider that a low bar. I think it 336 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,440 was absolutely phenomenal what he was able to accomplish at 337 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:49,119 his at his age, with his experience, And really the 338 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,200 one thing that I've always looked at is, yeah, the 339 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,720 performance on the field, but I always like to see, 340 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,319 especially i'm at a game, not TV. It's hard to 341 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,160 see the sidelines a lot of times, but how he 342 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:09,119 reacts to both plays that might be a bad play, 343 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,839 whether that's a turnover or taking a sack or fumbling whatever, 344 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,440 and even a good play. And what I observed throughout 345 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:27,519 the year is you really couldn't tell where he made 346 00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:29,839 a bad play versus when he made a good play. 347 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,680 He has a knack and I don't think a lot 348 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:39,759 of quarterbacks have this. A lot some do and some do, 349 00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:43,559 But I think the difference between maybe a great quarterback 350 00:18:43,599 --> 00:18:46,920 and elite quarterback and an average or a good quarterback 351 00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:52,440 is that ability to come back down or from a 352 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:59,599 disappointment or an exciting play, you know, a game changing 353 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:05,599 play or maybe a turnover that's that really you know, 354 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,559 made a big time difference in the game. And what's 355 00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:15,039 your reaction to the result after the result? How do 356 00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:18,440 they act, how they interact with their coaches, their teammates, 357 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,200 And I think he has a really good ability to 358 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,799 what I would say, come back to five, which for 359 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,279 me is even you know you're going to hit a ten, 360 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,279 nine to ten on a big touchdown, but also on 361 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:38,119 a big turnover as well, How quickly can you get 362 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:44,200 back to that five? That even kill calm, cool, confident demeanor, 363 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,160 and it just seemed like he was at five most 364 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,000 of the time. Was very aggressive for a youngster to 365 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,079 be able to do that. 366 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,559 Speaker 2: Always stoic, always even killed, never overly erectional, even like 367 00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:01,720 when he got injured, like it was like you didn't 368 00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:04,680 see him ever, really wins in pain. Like he didn't 369 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,319 really have any emotions. It was hard to see even 370 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,480 with the high definition cameras. That that that that exposes 371 00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:13,880 about everything on a football field. 372 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,079 Speaker 5: Yes, and and that's that's the ones that I look 373 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,960 at and gravitate to and go, Okay, he's going to 374 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,839 be something special because it's almost like he doesn't have 375 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,720 a pulse. And that works both ways, meaning yeah he can, 376 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,920 he doesn't. He doesn't get really high. He never really 377 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,920 gets low either. And some people will say, well, he 378 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,799 doesn't care because look, I mean they score big touchdown 379 00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:45,920 and he's just like, ah, whatever. Or he might be 380 00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:48,920 smiling after an interception, or he might just be stoic 381 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,279 after an interception that's really cost you know, the team, 382 00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:55,279 either a. 383 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 3: Game or whatever. 384 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,079 Speaker 5: And now we're trying to call back and you know, 385 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,680 we have this mistake and and it's it's really neither. 386 00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:08,240 It's just he has an ability to be very stoic 387 00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:12,160 whether things are going really well or things are going 388 00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:16,960 really poorly like Texas tech. Uh. But but you can't 389 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,160 tell from his at least, and his inside might be 390 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,519 chewing him up, but you can't tell. And I don't 391 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,960 I don't see that affecting him on the football field 392 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,400 either whatever is going in between his ears, so after 393 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,319 after that happens, but very impressed. 394 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, I feel like he he met 395 00:21:40,319 --> 00:21:45,119 that that bar, that standard that you put forth the 396 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,640 right handed Tim Tebow, I really do. I mean, Brady 397 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,119 Quinn even piggybacked off of your comp remember that. 398 00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely, yeah that was that was kind 399 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:02,240 of fun. But I do I do think that his 400 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,440 ability to throw, I mean, his ability to run, in 401 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,000 his his style of play lends you, yes, to run 402 00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:14,440 the game, you're the running game, and and and ground 403 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,759 it out on the you know, in between the tackles. 404 00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:22,440 But his ability in a couple of games Iowa State 405 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:28,519 the ball game to throw the rock and have a 406 00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:33,920 rod just cutting loose man. You know he now, I 407 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,880 think he's shown that ability and really maybe not for 408 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,559 Cougar Nation, but for all the opponents. The next year 409 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,400 is Okay, this dude can throw it down the field. 410 00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:48,599 He's not just a you know, two hundred and forty 411 00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:54,160 pounds running back that's playing behind the center. But my 412 00:22:54,279 --> 00:22:57,559 man can throw too, So we got to be ready 413 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,480 for that too. 414 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,279 Speaker 3: Year, no doubt. 415 00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 5: That's why I'm really really excited because he's of course 416 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,599 he's got another year experience, but I think I think 417 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,640 you may see a little bit different offensive philosophy this year. 418 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:20,160 And man, just take the reins off the horse, letting go. 419 00:23:21,319 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 3: What improvements would you like to see from Bear Bachmeier 420 00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:26,440 in the off season. 421 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 5: Boy, I don't know. I mean, I mean, you can 422 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:43,519 always it's hard to go against speed, right, It's hard 423 00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:50,039 to defend speed. It makes it the the defense very 424 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:55,880 very difficult to defend when you have speed. And so 425 00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:59,119 I would say, I mean, if if there's one thing, 426 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,960 I would say, get faster, But I would say that 427 00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:04,839 to an out lineman and the dB just as much 428 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,480 as a quarterback, if if not more so. But and 429 00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:13,440 I'm sure he's doing that. I'm sure they all do that. 430 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,359 They have a great weights program and strength and conditioning program, 431 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,119 and that's going to be handled between you know, January 432 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,279 and August. But yeah, I would say, just a little 433 00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:27,359 bit more speed. He's going to throw the ball more 434 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,319 so in practice this spring. I guarantee he's gonna get 435 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:33,720 his rep with his arm. So obviously arm endurance is 436 00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:37,039 going to be play a part in how well he 437 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,119 does next year. He just didn't throw it, probably as 438 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,720 much as he's gonna throw it this next year and 439 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,720 probably in year three, is it's gonna move up even 440 00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:50,279 more so, So I would say speed and arm endurance 441 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,720 and get ready for to light up the skies. 442 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,839 Speaker 2: I was debating with a few people earlier this week 443 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,000 about weight gain, weight loss, you know, staying the same. 444 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,640 What have you seen, like you know, in your career 445 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,200 as a as a quarterback and coaching quarterbacks. You know 446 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,039 he's a big quarterback, obviously a big body guy. Do 447 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,119 you kind of try to keep him at that weight? 448 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,359 Do you want to lose weight put on but like 449 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,960 you know, gain lean muscle mass? Do you want to 450 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,319 put on weight? What do you where do you put that? 451 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,400 You know, if I was to ask you what you 452 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,319 would do with his body, uh, as far as strength 453 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,640 and conditioning and things of that nature are concerned, what 454 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:31,440 would you say. 455 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,599 Speaker 5: Well, I think you're not going to go wrong with 456 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:41,359 lean muscle mass. He hasn't had you know, he hasn't 457 00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:46,799 really had a full off season to be in the 458 00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:50,960 weight room and to increase his speed and his strength 459 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,720 and his lean body mass. And yeah, it would be 460 00:25:56,799 --> 00:26:02,240 great if you know he's at five percent ten percent 461 00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:05,880 body fat but still at two twenty five to twenty 462 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,279 and my guess is that's probably where they're gonna want 463 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,839 him to be. You don't want him to, you know, 464 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,839 be at one ninety five because that's kind of not 465 00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:19,759 really part of the offense. But again, I don't think 466 00:26:19,799 --> 00:26:21,880 it matters with a rod because he's got plenty in 467 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,799 the pantry to utilize. And this is just one aspect 468 00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:29,960 of his offense. Having a kid that's you know, six 469 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,000 two sixty three, two hundred and thirty, two hundred and 470 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,799 thirty five pounds versus someone like Zach Wilson wasn't even close. 471 00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:40,119 I mean, he might have been two hundred pounds or 472 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:45,960 two oh five. But so I think the lean body mass, yeah, 473 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,640 is going to be essential for him, but he still 474 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,039 has to be able to sustain. And if you're gonna 475 00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:53,880 throw the ball more, that means you're gonna run the 476 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,440 ball less. And this is projection, This is not law 477 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,720 that says they're gonna throw the ball more. One of 478 00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:02,000 them to throw the ball more, I think you would 479 00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:04,880 tend to think they might throw the ball more with 480 00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:09,720 one year experienced by your freshman quarterback. But so if 481 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,240 that's the case, then he's gonna run a little bit less, 482 00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:15,000 so he's not going to take as many hits, so 483 00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:17,000 he doesn't have to be two hundred and forty pounds. 484 00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:19,920 I didn't think he would sustain the offense they were 485 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,599 running in the first two or three games for the 486 00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:28,599 entirety of the season, and the only thing he had 487 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,960 to show for as far as injury was was an ankle. 488 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,880 They're in the championship game, so and that was it. 489 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,119 So like he went beyond my expectations as far as 490 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:48,359 being sustaining, being really relatively injury free the entire season, 491 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,039 running as much as he did in between the tackles. 492 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:58,319 So I think, you know, you're two twenty to twenty five, 493 00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:02,799 lean body mass, more speed. It might create a little 494 00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:06,440 bit more of a dynamic offense because now it's not 495 00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:09,160 in between the tackles anymore. Now he even bounced that 496 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,759 sucker outside, you know, and instead of going to take 497 00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:18,000 as many hits, maybe he avoids a couple of those 498 00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:20,640 hits because he's a little bit quicker and he has 499 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,400 a little bit more speed, and he's a little bit thinner, 500 00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:28,200 but lean, you know, muscle mass type, If that makes 501 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:28,759 any sense. 502 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm intrigued to see where Bear takes his 503 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,720 game this off season. I'm sure he'll be training with 504 00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:37,640 three DQB John Beck and the crew, as well as 505 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,960 he's putting in reps there in provo with his wide 506 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,200 receiving group. What do you how would you evaluate the 507 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,160 supporting cast right now that's coming back. Obviously Parker Kingston 508 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,519 had himself a season. You got Jojo Phillips coming back, 509 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,000 Cody Hagen. They went out and got Kyler Casper from Oregon, 510 00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:02,839 a four star for four star wide receiver. Not much 511 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,759 productivity though that though there at Oregon Walker Lions coming 512 00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:09,519 in from USC at tight end obviously LJ. 513 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,519 Speaker 3: Martin coming back. 514 00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 2: How would you evaluate the skill position players that surround 515 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,480 Bear going into his sophomore season. 516 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,599 Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's going to be. It's 517 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,839 going to be as the potential to be really good, 518 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,400 especially on the outside. Now, in order for you to 519 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,519 throw the ball, you've got to have the five guys 520 00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:39,319 up front, and where we're losing three, I believe that 521 00:29:39,359 --> 00:29:44,640 would be a bigger concern for me than on the outside, 522 00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:49,240 because I guarantee your help is coming because you've got 523 00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:54,039 the Pula twins. One's probably gonna play defense. My guess 524 00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:57,480 is the Jaron kids is going to be offense. You've 525 00:29:57,519 --> 00:30:01,240 got the Glaster kid that's coming in from Lehigh, which 526 00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:06,200 I think makes I think he plays on the special 527 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,640 teams really really early and makes an impact on their 528 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,599 special team, especially on their kicking game. That allows Parker 529 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,079 maybe Cody to focus a little bit more on receiving 530 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,119 and on the offensive side of the ball. But because 531 00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:28,480 my man can do it like that kid is He's insane. 532 00:30:28,599 --> 00:30:32,279 I'm telling you, this Alising kid is absolutely insane, and 533 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,000 everybody's gonna see this next year. And yeah, I'm making 534 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,160 a prediction that he's gonna he's gonna be on the 535 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:46,079 field and be a difference maker, especially initially with his youth, 536 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:52,640 probably in special teams first, before you know, a rotation 537 00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:56,920 into the receiving corps, but just because of his inexperience, 538 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,480 but talent now he's that's already there. It's it's it's 539 00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:05,519 beyond anything I think I've seen. I got to watch 540 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,960 him in practice every day the last two years, and 541 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,279 the plays that he made in practice were crazy. Dude. Anyway, 542 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,960 so I think you know, you got to shore up 543 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,559 in the middle. Obviously, the line. But I think on 544 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,480 the outside, you've got another year experience with all three 545 00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:28,640 of those guys. You know, Jojo, I think was just 546 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,519 trying to find his footing this year, and I think 547 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,920 he's fine there. I think they're gonna be really but 548 00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:41,640 I think they're going to be deeper than normal I 549 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,440 think for those guys typically in a typical year. But 550 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,200 there's gonna be some inexperience too with that depth, and 551 00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:56,720 so that's going to be you know, Fessi's job to 552 00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:00,079 get them up to speed and learn the offense and 553 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,960 timing right spring is all about timing with Bear and 554 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,359 the quarterbacks and new receivers and where those guys are 555 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,319 on campus. Now, I'm looking forward to a really good 556 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,599 year and really I see him just throwing the ball 557 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,000 lot more and LJ is, Yes, we're gonna lean on him. 558 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,920 We've got to have five solid dudes up front though, 559 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,960 for anything to work. So that's the backbone of the team. 560 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,920 That's the skeleton of the team. It's the offensive line. 561 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,359 It's not the quarterback. It's not the defensive backfield or 562 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,839 the defensive line. I think most important position on the 563 00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:42,119 field is offensive line. 564 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 3: Well, they went out and got three offensive linemen of 565 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:45,400 the portal. 566 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,759 Speaker 2: Thus far looks like they're fortifying that front right now. 567 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's great. 568 00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Last thing for you, what's been your favorite Mark 569 00:32:58,279 --> 00:33:01,920 Harlan moment? Has it been the the you know that 570 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,720 the game was stolen from us after the Holy War 571 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,359 in twenty twenty four? Was it? 572 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,559 Speaker 3: They give me a break? 573 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:15,119 Speaker 2: Tweet that he he he quote tweeted Dennis Dodd. Dennis 574 00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:18,759 Dodd had reported that the Big twelve was ready to 575 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,839 pounce on the four Corner schools. As doubt creeps in 576 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,680 about the Pac twelve's viability, he retweeted that obviously they 577 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,880 eventually went to the Big twelve. Is it? His most 578 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:35,640 recent tweet attacking a former BYU commit and signy who 579 00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:39,319 entered the Portal and is now taking his talents elsewhere. 580 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,960 He kind of got a little petty there. Do you 581 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,759 have a favorite moment from Mark Harlan? 582 00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:47,839 Speaker 3: Oh? That guy? 583 00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:52,039 Speaker 5: I don't say about him. I don't, I don't. I 584 00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:54,440 don't know if I haven't a favorite moment, but I 585 00:33:54,480 --> 00:34:01,119 have an unfavorite moment. As soon as more Scalley became 586 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,400 the head coach, that's my un favorite moment. And obviously 587 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:10,719 he's the athletic director. He made that happen. He's he's 588 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:19,320 gonna be good. I'm I'm concerned because he's he's not 589 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:25,679 gonna be like Kyle was there. There's they're two different. 590 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,719 I know a lot of people are like, oh, it'll 591 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,000 just be the same, od utah, this, that and the other. 592 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,679 It's not. Trust me, it's not. As a matter of fact, 593 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,599 we had a conversation Morgan and I a couple of 594 00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:40,559 days ago with quite a lengthy discussion, and he goes 595 00:34:40,599 --> 00:34:42,960 back to the years of when he was recruiting down 596 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,400 in Texas. I was at a Uless trendy high school. 597 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,840 He'd come down and recruit and we go out to 598 00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:52,880 lunch and so we've kind of been friends over the 599 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,800 years and kept in contact, and yeah, we had a 600 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,199 pretty lengthy conversation and man, he's he's a culture guy, 601 00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:07,159 and yes, he's gonna he's gonna want to beat us 602 00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:11,639 to a bloody pulp in those four hours when we play. 603 00:35:12,599 --> 00:35:17,639 But he's not flaming. I mean, he's not gonna fan 604 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:22,199 any of the flames before and after the game. And 605 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:27,880 I think that's that's that that concerns me because he's 606 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,320 a culture guy and Klaonnie is a culture guy and 607 00:35:35,039 --> 00:35:39,079 that's I guess that's my most unfavorite moment, at least 608 00:35:39,159 --> 00:35:43,719 as a b y u alam Uh. He's good. He's 609 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,960 gonna be good, and Utah is gonna be good for 610 00:35:48,199 --> 00:35:52,239 as long as Morgan's running the show. And that's from 611 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,719 a yu alam. But I have a lot of respect 612 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,679 for Morgan. He's a good friend of mine. And yeah, 613 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,000 there's some things going on up there that are a 614 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,760 little bit concerning to be at least for those four 615 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,800 hours uh on a Saturday in the fall. 616 00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:16,199 Speaker 3: So yep, yes, indeed, Steve, we appreciate you man. 617 00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:17,679 Speaker 2: Thanks for hopping on for a little keeping up with 618 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,639 the cougar segment, and we'll catch up with the end soon. 619 00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 3: Thanks so much. 620 00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 5: All right, dude, see ya, my guy. 621 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 2: Steve Clements, ladies and gentlemen.
