49
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:06,480
Gurney of The Daily Herald, g Man, how you look

50
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:07,959
at dude?

51
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: Well? Why does it rain in Arizona? Every time I'm

52
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,319
in this state? Like? Is in this the state where

53
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:15,879
it never rains? I swear every time I come down here,

54
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,280
there's a torrential downpour. I don't get it. I don't

55
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:19,599
get it.

56
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: G Man.

57
00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:25,599
Speaker 3: Is because he, you know, heavenly fathers crying due to

58
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,639
something you did. What have you been doing? What did

59
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,000
you do down there? He's crying, he's weeping.

60
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:33,599
Speaker 1: That kind of.

61
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 4: That kind of cuts me deep. I don't know where

62
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,039
you're going with that. What's your suspicion?

63
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:42,479
Speaker 1: I don't know.

64
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: Like whenever you go out of town, I feel like

65
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,719
you're always doing something something sketchy.

66
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,319
Speaker 1: Man.

67
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 4: I did walk into casino, but I did not.

68
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: I knew it.

69
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: I knew it, but I knew it.

70
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,199
Speaker 3: When you go did you go to Hilo River Casino?

71
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,599
Speaker 1: I knew it. I knew it. That's why he's crying.

72
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: He's saying, oh, whoa whoe onto the g man for gambling.

73
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:09,199
Speaker 4: I did not partake.

74
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: You went in though. You went in though and partook,

75
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:13,840
you smelled it.

76
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:18,439
Speaker 4: I just wanted to see it. I just wanted to

77
00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:18,879
see it.

78
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,439
Speaker 3: You didn't place any bets and I knew it. See,

79
00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:23,400
that's why you go down there. That's what you did

80
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,039
last time. And it's and it poured and it was

81
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,680
a torential downwork. Because you know he's crying, he's crying

82
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:31,080
over your sins.

83
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: But I didn't do anything. I did not partake.

84
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,719
Speaker 3: But even though I remember the scriptors teachers, the thought

85
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,319
is sin.

86
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: Wow, yeah, man, you cut me deep, momus, you cut me.

87
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,199
I can't believe I just admit that on the radio.

88
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:54,960
Why what we're talking about.

89
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,719
Speaker 3: Hey, you're the one that brought it up. I just

90
00:03:57,759 --> 00:03:59,280
gave you the answer that you didn't want.

91
00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:02,199
Speaker 4: You brought it. Yeah, I admitted there's something I shouldn't

92
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:04,280
have anyway. But I did not fortak. I didn't do

93
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:06,479
anything wrong. I didn't do anything well.

94
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: Hopefully, hopefully the sims are washed away with that torrential

95
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:15,960
downpourch g man Richie Saunders out for the year. How

96
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,399
does this change your expectation for the BA basketball team? Look,

97
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,000
there's a six games remating, right, six games remating? What

98
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,680
do you think the record will be? How does your

99
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,800
your maybe prognostication, your expectation change for the Big Twelve

100
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,519
and the NCAA tournament.

101
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 4: Well, can you ask me, like four hours from now,

102
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,800
I might have a better answer for you.

103
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,079
Speaker 3: No, it's always we don't always have the data points

104
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,720
in front of us.

105
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 4: It's very very hard to sugarcoat this for anything that

106
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,199
it is. And to me, the cultural aspects the big thing.

107
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,160
I mean, you can talk about how tremendous of the

108
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:51,600
player he is, what he has is just as first

109
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:54,560
slash into the basket is hustling all that. It's the

110
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,879
culture thing that's by far the biggest loss to me.

111
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,439
And I think that's the tough thing in this day

112
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,240
and age of basketball is maintaining culture. Guys guys that

113
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:09,560
are just programmed, guys that are always going to be there,

114
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,600
know the system and all that. And that was Richie Saunders,

115
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,879
and now that he's not there, you really worry that

116
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,600
it could crumble faster than it would otherwise. When the

117
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,319
team gets down, what's the rallying point? Who's rallying these guys?

118
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,319
Every team needs that person, and when you lose that guy,

119
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,720
it's going to be really tough. I like that. Kevin

120
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,319
Young had individually interviews with both aj De Bonsa and

121
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:45,120
I'm so bad at names. I'd forgetting my gosh, I'm

122
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,600
getting old. But those have to be the guys. Who

123
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,160
else is it going to be? And I think they're

124
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,360
both mature into individuals. I think aj De Bonsa the

125
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,920
leadership he's exuded. I think he's been everything you wanted

126
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:01,519
him to be this year. The man he's going to

127
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,040
have to be that much, that much more assertive, and

128
00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:07,879
I don't know how he can be to me. I

129
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,040
think the guy and I mentioned this every time on

130
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,439
the air, it's Canar Davis, and I think he's struggled.

131
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:16,959
He came to be why he kind of is a

132
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,240
volume shooter as a go to guy. Right that averaged

133
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,000
a lot of points, and I think he's really struggled

134
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,079
being a role player where he has to pick his spots.

135
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,519
I think now he's going to have the opportunity to

136
00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:34,800
be more of what he was at his prior playing experience,

137
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,680
where he I don't know if he can be a

138
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,759
volume shooter, but certainly more volume than he's been allotted

139
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:43,759
at Bay currently. And he has to be the guy.

140
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,560
He's relatable to Richie Saunders, a lot of the same

141
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:52,360
skill set, same size and all that, and yeah that

142
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,600
I failed to understand who else it can be on

143
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,160
B way. He's roster. With regards to stepping up, You've

144
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,439
seen flashes, but as far as the consistency, the defensive pressure,

145
00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:06,639
the scoring ability, it has to be Kenar Davis, and

146
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,879
he has to he has to step forward. He has

147
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,560
to be a guy that's given you, I don't know,

148
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:17,800
twelve thirteen points a game while applying defensive pressure. But man,

149
00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:21,120
that's a big ask. Because Richie was so consistent and

150
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,319
so it locked into the system and dependable. It's gonna

151
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:28,000
be really, really tough. So we'll see what b what

152
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,040
he's got versus Arizona. And it's kind of depressing to

153
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,759
think about because when I booked this trip, I thought

154
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:35,160
this is gonna be the biggest game of the year.

155
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,720
I thought this was going to be just national two

156
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,040
top maybe top five teams going at it. Big Twelve's

157
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:45,519
best and Arizona now doesn't have Pete and b Way,

158
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:48,040
he doesn't have Richie Saunders, and it's like, well, what's

159
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:48,639
going on?

160
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

161
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:53,319
Speaker 4: And man, the injury bug with the Big twelve, My goodness.

162
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:56,800
I mean as News dropped the Top and Scott for

163
00:07:56,839 --> 00:07:57,319
the year, I.

164
00:07:57,279 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Know he's out.

165
00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:03,399
Speaker 4: Oh that's I really like Top and he's one of

166
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:07,000
my favorite players. I love watching him play. That depresses

167
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:10,360
me anyway, It's not what it is. The Bway he

168
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:14,160
can roll something over. They can. We'll see what they got.

169
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,120
We'll see what they got tonight. It's gonna be intriguing

170
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,160
in that regard.

171
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,319
Speaker 3: G Man Brandon Segurney, the Daily Heraldi and himself or

172
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,439
the assistant to the Daily Heraldian rather Brandon Segurny here

173
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,319
on your Utah ESPN Radio Network by who enters the

174
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,639
game nineteen to six overall, seven five and Big twelve play.

175
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,799
The Cougars are seeking their first road win against a

176
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:37,240
top five team since twenty seventeen in just their third.

177
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Such win since nineteen eighty.

178
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: Arizona is twenty three and two overall in ten and

179
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:43,320
two in conference play and will look to defend their

180
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,279
home court after a recent lassues BYU is a dog

181
00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:49,600
by I think twelve and a half or it opened

182
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,200
at twelve and a half. I think he's at eleven

183
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,919
and a half now over unders at one sixty four

184
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,720
and a half. So are you are you feeling like

185
00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:58,840
BA who's gonna cover at least maybe not get the windows.

186
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,919
Speaker 4: At come down? Waiting money on BYU? Wow?

187
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,879
Speaker 3: I think well because co Pete. Remember they have two

188
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:08,440
players that are out Wow.

189
00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:11,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the other guy has the flu or whatever. Yeah,

190
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:14,039
it seems like everyone I know in my life has

191
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:17,519
had the flu in the last month anyway, But yeah,

192
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:21,919
that's interesting to me. I wouldn't touch BYU. Absolutely not,

193
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,919
no way, I wouldn't touch this game when injuries are

194
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,039
aut are are relevant, and also betting on a favorite

195
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,879
it's more than a ten point favorite in basketball is

196
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:40,000
really a shaky proposition because of the backdoor cover component.

197
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,799
I mean, yeah, yeah, teams that are winning by twenty

198
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:45,240
thirty points the entire game, then they put the scrubs in.

199
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,960
Teams make late runs. It's not really that close, but hey,

200
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,279
they cover the eleven twelve point total. It's it's just

201
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:54,720
not a typically a good bed in that regard. So no,

202
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:55,720
I'm not touching then.

203
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: Come on, not going to touch it, even though you though,

204
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,519
even though you walked in there. Go to the River

205
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:06,600
Helo Riv Casino. Trust me, bro, I grew up down there.

206
00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:09,879
I know the jingle. I know that everyone's going out

207
00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:11,840
to hel Riv Casine.

208
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,039
Speaker 4: No over, Okay, the gees silent.

209
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's HeLa, Man, it's the like remember the the

210
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,840
HeLa monsters of eastern Arizona. I always joke around saying

211
00:10:21,879 --> 00:10:24,480
the Guilla monsters that Helo River. Probably always call them

212
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:27,080
mc gill monsters, I know, but it's not the it's

213
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,759
not the gill of monsters, the HeLa monsters.

214
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the HeLa monster.

215
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: Ferocious, ferocious beasts.

216
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: They are. Man, they got locking.

217
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,519
Speaker 4: Jaws, John, they don't let go. Yeah, I know that.

218
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:43,759
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, yes, indeed, yeah, I've told your time and

219
00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:46,200
time Againjie man, I've told you many times. Let's talk

220
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,519
to you your football for a minute. Uh key camp

221
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Kalani twenty twenty six stories you're keeping your eye on

222
00:10:53,759 --> 00:10:55,720
as springball is right around the corner.

223
00:10:57,039 --> 00:11:00,039
Speaker 4: Oh man, there there's a lot of storylines I've I

224
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:03,639
think replacing Parker Kingston's the one that intrigues me the most.

225
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,919
Last time I was on air, Cody Hagen's got to

226
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,919
be that guy, and he has it. When I laid

227
00:11:08,919 --> 00:11:11,919
eyes on him, not this past year, but in twenty

228
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,519
twenty four when he came back from his mission, he

229
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,080
was a dude. He looked like Parker Kingston. I remember

230
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,360
seeing Parker Kingston tis for the first time, and obvious

231
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,840
guys are obviously. I always say that people think there's

232
00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:25,720
a lot that goes into valuing guys. I don't think

233
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,759
it's that hard. They jumped out at you. Cody Hagen

234
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,360
jumped out at me. He still has that. I don't

235
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,200
know what was going on last season, but I'm still

236
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,759
expecting big things from him, and I think he has

237
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,960
a ripe opportunity to get going this year and just

238
00:11:42,039 --> 00:11:45,399
realize the talent that he has. And he is extremely talented,

239
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:47,399
and I think he's going to figure something out. He's

240
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,320
a very very bright kid with a very good skill set,

241
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:53,639
and I'm expecting a lot from him. I think he's

242
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,000
going to be that guy this year. So my eyes

243
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,039
are going to be sharply peeled on Cody Hagen what

244
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,600
he's able to do, Tara, sorry's really intriguing to me.

245
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,080
But with this thing is for sure. I mean, I

246
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,559
think people mistake him as a transfer. He's not really

247
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,039
a transfer. It's a true freshman. He still has a

248
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,559
lot of learning to acklimate himself to the college football ranks.

249
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,360
So that's why I'm putting it on Cody Hagan, primarily

250
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,519
because he's been in the system, he's been back, and

251
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,879
he can do a lot of the same things Parker

252
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,639
Kingston game good. So yeah, as far as guys I'm

253
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,440
most interested to see, it would be Cody Hagan just

254
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:34,679
see what he's realized. I'm Walker Lions is obviously going

255
00:12:34,759 --> 00:12:37,480
to be fascinating to watch, just to see how he

256
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:40,080
measures up with a As far as the tight end,

257
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240
which was such a good position last year with Carson Ryan,

258
00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:46,759
who's really the ultimate transfer portal guy who gave you

259
00:12:47,159 --> 00:12:48,960
exactly what you thought you were going to get it

260
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,600
and more. Now that's the bar camp Parker Walker Lions

261
00:12:55,639 --> 00:12:57,720
realized that that's going to be a tough ask as well,

262
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,720
but he certainly has the talent. Former four star prospect,

263
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,879
you could absolutely be that guy. But those are the

264
00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:07,879
two people I'm interested in. I think the defense is sad,

265
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:11,080
like they what do they need to work out there?

266
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,000
I guess Free Safety replacing Tanner Wall is going to

267
00:13:14,039 --> 00:13:18,399
be interesting. I'm interested to see how Jonathan Cabaya looks.

268
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:21,320
I think I think it was really tough for him

269
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,240
to come back from the injury in the position he did.

270
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,679
I still really like it his skill set, even though

271
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,840
he didn't have a great year last year. I think

272
00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:31,519
he's going to be determined. I think he's going to

273
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,440
be a very very good cornerback for Vy. That's going

274
00:13:34,519 --> 00:13:36,840
to be an interesting thing, just to see if there's

275
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:40,759
any nuances, any differences. It's spring practice doesn't reveal as

276
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,080
much as you want it to. It's my experience with

277
00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:46,480
Spring practices, especially now that they close sessions, you expect

278
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,879
a lot of depth chart movement. Now that's not what

279
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,480
springs four. Basically, it's to kind of look at for

280
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,200
the guys that can compete and develop so that they

281
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,840
can iron some things out in time for Fall practices.

282
00:13:57,879 --> 00:14:01,159
But as far as filling positions, and with all that said,

283
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,159
maybe it's too early to take a look at Cody Egan,

284
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,480
but I think he's going to give some indication about

285
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,039
what's going on. I'd like to see a running back

286
00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:11,960
really rise at the forefront by On jovesa DEMONI I

287
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,360
think he's a guy that could do some really good

288
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:17,159
things and be a very good running back for BYU

289
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,960
based on what I saw in the pop tards ball.

290
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,639
That's gonna be interesting. I don't think the top guys

291
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:24,879
are going to practice at all, but like, are you

292
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,759
running LG. Martin out during spring like at all? And

293
00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:31,519
if so, why? I don't think he's going to be

294
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:36,080
seeing a lot of reps. And another guy that fascinates

295
00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:41,600
me is is Reggie Fresh. Connect is a connector just necked.

296
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:46,759
Speaker 3: Connect, like from the wide receiver and quarterback connect.

297
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 4: Sure how often they volunteered him as a guy prior

298
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:55,799
to last season. Then he had that terrible soft tissue

299
00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:59,000
injury which takes forever to come back, and then he

300
00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:01,799
kind of lost. This isn't in that regard. I think

301
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:04,120
he can be that guy. Yeah, I'm the way coaches

302
00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:07,480
were talking about him. This guy has stuffed and where

303
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:10,639
you're looking at a direct replacement for Chase Roberts, that's

304
00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:14,200
the guy you painted on right there. And maybe Jojo

305
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,639
Phillips I really liked how Jojo looked into pop Darts Bowl.

306
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:21,159
Maybe he could becomes more consistent. So yeah, to me,

307
00:15:21,919 --> 00:15:24,799
as far as offense goes, receivers are the most fascinating position.

308
00:15:25,039 --> 00:15:27,279
People are gonna want to offensive line news. You're not

309
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,320
gonna get it. You're not gonna understand what's going on

310
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,000
with the offensive Lintel fall. I'm telling you guys, everyone

311
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,279
the offensive I don't know. They don't do much. There's

312
00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:40,320
not a lot of contact in spring it. We're not

313
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,679
gonna really understand until they go forward to fall prices.

314
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,320
But I think we're gonna learn a lot about the

315
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,840
receivers and who bears connecting with, who's walked in with.

316
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,360
I think that's gonna be very notable throughout the spring

317
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,159
practice session.

318
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,919
Speaker 3: Love that breakdown that only the g man can can

319
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,879
give to us here on your ESPN Radio network, dot

320
00:15:59,879 --> 00:16:02,559
com and some ball. Have you looked at the list

321
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:07,080
of new players by chance, the the eleven transfers. There's

322
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,879
a few new names. Remember there's another time we pay

323
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:14,879
you that joined the team from eastern Washington.

324
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,519
Speaker 1: Thought that was interesting.

325
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Newcy's older brother. Nowcy's older brother, So that's

326
00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:27,840
a note. Seth Schigg from Army. He's a former quarterback

327
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:32,440
now converting to cornerback, so they have some and he

328
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:33,840
was fast. I think he was like a ten to

329
00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:37,240
seven to eight type of kid in high school. So

330
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:42,519
of note of intrigue, anyone from like the true freshman

331
00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:46,480

Speaker 1: I know you mentioned Terren Sarion. I like him a lot.

333
00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:51,039
But out of the.

334
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: Transfer portal guys, who you us intrigued by? And then

335
00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:56,799
out of the new freshman return missionaries, who are you

336
00:16:56,919 --> 00:16:57,600
most intrigued by?

337
00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 4: And I wish I had a list of front of me.

338
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,759
Speaker 3: Right now, I'm gonna I'm gonna send it g g

339
00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:06,039
Man right now. Oh you're driving, Okay, I'm gonnast him off.

340
00:17:06,039 --> 00:17:07,880
All right, let me listen up new transfers, all right.

341
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,599
Jake Clifton, Kansas State linebacker, Kyler Casper, wide receiver, Oregon Pockey,

342
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:17,000
female offensive lineman, Washington Walker Lions tight end US c Rogers,

343
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:21,039
Sally Apoka the second tight end Oregon, Seth Schigg cornerback,

344
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,519
Army Junior Sea offensive line in Utah State. Daniel tellm

345
00:17:24,519 --> 00:17:29,640
we PAYU linebackers from Washington, Uh Kate lave Cal linebacker,

346
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,759
Javin Williams cornerback Mississippi State, Zach Yamauchi offensive lineman Stanford

347
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,279
out of the new transfers.

348
00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:37,079
Speaker 1: You you must intrigued.

349
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,079
Speaker 4: But it's gotta be It's gotta be Kate and asked

350
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:42,960
to be this guy?

351
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,599
Speaker 1: Why why does it have to be Kate?

352
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 4: He has the highest expectation. He's he can be a

353
00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:56,680
real force in that linebacker group and par I think

354
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,799
he's gonna pair with Sarah. Not only is he gonna

355
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:03,799
put who I think didn't have enough competition last year.

356
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:06,240
I think that affected him well, like once they didn't

357
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,680
have Brian Struther. With it just being CI's position, I'd

358
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,839
like to see him pushed and Kate's going to push him.

359
00:18:13,079 --> 00:18:15,200
It's going to be a battle and I'm intrigued to

360
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,440
see it. I think that's going to be very very

361
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,039
good for and for the program in general. That's going

362
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,640
to be interesting to watch. But Walker Lyons effect, Thank Casper.

363
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:28,079
I mean, I just talked a lot about Regie Frishnek.

364
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,359
One thing I know about FESTI sa talk and he

365
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,200
has scored big time in the receiver transfer portal, big time.

366
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,880
The guys he's been able to bring in. He does

367
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,240
his due diligence and they usually rise to the occasion.

368
00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:45,160
When you're talking about Keith, I mean to look at

369
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,799
Kielan Marion. My goodness, what a score there. So he's

370
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,839
kind of set that bar high for himself and that

371
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,680
little expectations. So when he brings any guy and this

372
00:18:54,839 --> 00:18:56,920
Casper guy, well he doesn't really do much at Oregon,

373
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,359
he still has a phenomenal skill set that be a

374
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,799
really interesting It goes on as far as the wide receiver,

375
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,960
So yeah, I guess I'm going back to the receivers again.

376
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,400
To me, it's the most fascinating position on the team

377
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,680
right now. It's the raft of a lot of experience,

378
00:19:12,759 --> 00:19:16,759
but man, there's a lot of potential just as far

379
00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:19,400
as recruits go, returning players that I don't think have

380
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:22,640
tapped their full potential quite yet. It's going to be

381
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,559
a very very interesting position to watch and to me,

382
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,440
that's the best. That's going to be the most intriguing

383
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:33,720
story of the spring football practice session going in the fall.

384
00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: Love that breakdown.

385
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: As far as the the freshman coming in, I know you,

386
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,359
like I said, you had mentioned a few guys that

387
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,119
you like, let me list off all the new names

388
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,039
that are on the roster getting.

389
00:19:46,599 --> 00:19:47,759
Speaker 1: Some action here.

390
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: How about Micah beckst at running back Timpview? Is this

391
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:53,960
another shoney moa type of situation where we're gonna really

392
00:19:54,079 --> 00:19:57,000
like Micah? He was an underrated editor recruited running back

393
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,519
out of timp View, You hope?

394
00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 4: So I remember I might cover some of his games.

395
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,000
I like him certainly potential there, And you need running backs.

396
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,519
Everyone knows the way he needs running backs. You need

397
00:20:09,599 --> 00:20:12,720
depth at that position. So that's another one. It seems

398
00:20:13,039 --> 00:20:15,720
kind of perfect to me. It's a perfect walk on

399
00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:19,279
opportunity from a guy that lives literally five minutes down

400
00:20:19,279 --> 00:20:22,440
the street from BYU, who had a really good high

401
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,440
school career. So yeah, give me that guy. A lot

402
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,319
of potential there.

403
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:32,079

419
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,640
like to call him in the family quarterback Ala Arizona.

420
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 4: I like the three top local prospects, and when I

421
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,200
talk about those guys, Bob Moulei Talo certainly a guy

422
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,640
that could start as a true freshman. He has that talent,

423
00:21:38,319 --> 00:21:40,640
very very good in productive year for Loan Peak at

424
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,000
the left tackle position. He can slot in right away.

425
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,960
I think a lot of people are expecting things from

426
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,480
devani Ika really good Bill did a lot of good

427
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,359
things for Lee High. Jared pool is fascinating. He's a

428
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,920
guy that kind of tailed off for Loan pecond toward

429
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,000
the end of the year. I think he may have

430
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,240
been heard. I don't know what was going on, But

431
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:03,920
when I saw him play here, I me Chase Roberts

432
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:09,319
really really good ball skills, very good size, runs raus

433
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,720
and it can absolutely take the top off the defense.

434
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,480
Very dynamic player, very very good talent, every bit of

435
00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:20,160
a four star prospect. Again, it's weird to me how

436
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,480
he faded with Loan Pig. I do think he may

437
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,319
have been hurt. And yeah, Kennon kind of rolls up.

438
00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:28,400
I mean he had that interception in the probably one

439
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,359
hand of that thing. Holy crap. That seriously might be

440
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,960
the best catch I've ever seen live. I've never seen

441
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,880
anything like that. I probably won't ever see anything like

442
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,559
it again. But Jared Poola definitely has the talent to

443
00:22:40,599 --> 00:22:43,880
be a guy and to contribute immediately. There's no question

444
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,440
about that. If this mindset's right. Learning the offense is

445
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,799
a big thing in this Bau offense. We know this.

446
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,000
I mean he's look at Kilan Marrion. He wasn't able

447
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:54,759
to do much of anything because the offense was too

448
00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:57,240
tough to learn, and it took him a full year

449
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,039
before he could acclimate himself and find a niche so

450
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:03,640
a true Fershonan like Jerem Poola. That might be too

451
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,839
much to put up on him in that regard, But man,

452
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,480
his skill level is elite. It's very good. I covered

453
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:13,599
a lot of this games. As far as pure skill goes,

454
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,920
He's in the upper Edgelana B way you receive signees.

455
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:19,960
He's that good in my opinion.

456
00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:22,799
Speaker 1: G Man, Brandon C.

457
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,559

Speaker 4: Rain, Well they're in stopped. I just hope the way

461
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,599
you can do something. I hope to cover a good

462
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,400
story about a team rallying overcoming the odds. You hope

463
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,960
that's going to be the case with this BAU basketball team.

464
00:23:44,079 --> 00:23:46,119
A lot of guys have some opportunities. We'll see how

465
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,240
it plays out. It's going to be a very interesting

466
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:50,240
game in that regard.
