is in the doghouse right now. You know, they got
some things to figure out. Braden's they'll turn it around,
but it's gonna be It's gonna be all football today.
Your thoughts on the mid season additions that byus added
to the roster?
Speaker 2: What do you like about it?
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm super pumped about it. I think we've got
a lot of good talent. I think they did a
good job getting mostly high school kids, obviously getting in
mid year enrollies, but then some of the transferported guys.
Speaker 5: I know, I was just listening to the.
Speaker 4: Interviews from yesterday, and I think that's going to be
the focus going forward, is transferportal when we need to,
but try and kind of build the talent and development.
I think it's proving that that's working, obviously by the
success that we're having, but also by the fact that
we're not losing guys to the portal. So you always
worry that if you're just doing high school recruiting, by
the time they actually get good, they're going to go
somewhere else. And that's not what's happening. But I think
some of the guys that I'm super excited about from
the trans and portal wise, you're you know, you're looking
at guys like Walker, Lions, You're looking at k Like
those guys are the two headliners that in my mind,
and then Rogers, Soliapaga, a couple of linemen. Some of
those guys I'm excited about, but for I'm also really
excited for some of the missionary editions. Who knows how
well they're going to get back this year. I think
long term guys like Adne Reid is somebody that I'm
really excited about.
Speaker 5: He's he's long I'm going to be really, really good
in that position.
Speaker 4: Owen Borg is another one that I think could end up,
you know, showing out this year. So I think those
are a couple of guys that I'm excited about there.
And then from the high school class, there's there's a
lot of good guys. I'm trying to think of anyone
specifically that's that's going to be mid mid year endrolies.
But like Devon Eka, I know a Rob talked about
him being potentially ready to play this next year, which
would be awesome. Some of the Legend Glocester, the Poola brothers,
like I think there's some really really good additions and
guys that are already in the program getting their legs
underneath them, getting you know, to know the offense, defense,
whatever side they're on.
Speaker 5: So I'm pumped. I think I think we did what
we needed to.
Speaker 4: We didn't lose anybody that we could keep, obviously, and
then we did some good additions that hopefully can replace
the seniors that did graduate.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I like what you brought up a lot
of good names there. Brody Loga I think is back
as well. The five star Kicker. You know, you lose
Will Farren, so you got to have a good leg
gotta wonder what he will be like after the mission.
But this look, the additions that they had, everybody is
going to be utilized in some shape or form, Which
leads me to my next question. What are you most
excited more to see the transfers Walker Lyons, Robbie Alapinga,
Kadu Luave Or is it Legend Glas or is it
Devon Echo? You're more excited about the freshmen or the
income of transfers.
Speaker 4: I think that question is gonna be phrased with it's
gonna be who am I more excited.
Speaker 2: For this year that this year?
Speaker 5: I would definitely say it's gonna be the transfers.
Speaker 4: Just I think they're they're gonna get the guys that
start immediately and make the different bigger differences right this second.
But I think guys like some of the you know,
like oh my goodness, just bring down some of the
names we just mentioned, but like some of those freshmen
you have the poola brothers like I think long term
they're gonna have a huge deal in the in the program.
But I think this year you're gonna get guys like
Walker Lands, I'm Katie Lave. Those guys are going to
be more impactful this specific this season and football right now,
college football is such a year to year thing that
I'm trying not to get too high on anything. Obviously,
I think BYU changes that a little bit with what
we've done recently and and how we've retained talent. But
you still you don't want to get too caught up
in what's gonna happen in three years from now because
you never know just way that college football moves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the question was this year not going to go
long term because let it look, you can, Let's be
very honest, Devon and Legend could not work out. Attrition
is always the thing you have no idea. Look, this
question marks you go into a season with goals and
you gotta make adjustments. Things happen, So that's just that's
just the nature of it. Your thoughts on the staff
staffing Iris Clone says had a plethora of promotions.
Speaker 2: Fill ins your thoughts on it.
Speaker 3: It seems like you finally finalize the staff for the
twenty twenty six twenty seven season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm really pumped.
Speaker 4: I think both the dB coaches, the safeties and corners
are going to be really good there. Obviously, we talked
about it multiple times on they are losing Jay and
Gennaro were both We're big blosses, like both those guys
are awesome coaches. We wish them the best or we
don't want of the two, which everyone whatever you said
on that side, but.
Speaker 5: I think those two are great fillas.
Speaker 4: I think something the interesting that Clonie said in two
different interviews this week was that to point out that
Warren actually was Gennaro's helped like he was the one
that like, what's the word, man, I am blanking on
worse today? Ron, I think sorry about that.
Speaker 2: By the mentor. He was the mentor.
Speaker 5: Mario.
Speaker 4: Warren's definitely been been there and he's done a lot
of things, being a you know, a head coach at
the FCS level, those different things, So I think he's
I'm excited about him there. And then Lewis has played
in that that in under the system before and I
think he'll fit in really really well. I think he'll
be a great recruiter. I think both of them are
gonna be great for the double minority recruiting and and
help out in those spots.
Speaker 5: So I'm excited.
Speaker 4: I really think is as good as we could have
expected out of out of the high hiring there happened,
and then I think which coach ca ha ha ha.
Speaker 5: However, he says last name.
Speaker 4: I think he'll be a great Obviously he's been in
the system, he's been coaching, but I think he's a
He's a great guy to have in those spots.
Speaker 3: So your thoughts on promotions. He feels like to me,
coach of all the defensive line just had the tackles.
We know Kelly had the ends last year, but things
will move because he's now. Your thoughts on him not
just coaching the interior guys. He's got the edge rushers too.
Speaker 5: Oh, I actually didn't see that. I don't know if
they mentioned that.
Speaker 4: They mentioned that yesterday in the in the yes, I
think because I'm just I'm just catching up on those
right now.
Speaker 2: I think he's the defensive lines coach now, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Okay, because I know that he got obviously promoted to
the associate head coaches as.
Speaker 2: The head coach coach.
Speaker 3: Yeah that was last week. But I think I'm correct,
and I'll have breat correct me if I'm wrong. But
I think he's a defensive line coach because I knew that.
Speaker 4: I knew that Chad Kahaha also was doing outside linebackers
slashed is what I thought was. But maybe it's just
the outside mine backers and I just misunderstood that. So
either way, I think I think is a huge I
think the fact that he got into that associate head
coach is also a huge spot of showing like his leadership.
I think is a great leader, good at looking at
the whole big picture of everything, and I think he
would be promoted somewhere else. I think he's obviously one
of those guys that he was at Utah. He went
into retirement and then you know, Colonie pulled him out
of retirement. So I think it has to be something
that is worth it for him, and so that was
probably part of it. Also, is that making it worth
it for him to stay on staff and stay around,
because I don't think money is a huge thing for him.
I don't think, you know, he has lots of things
that he could do. He played in the NFL for
years and years and years, so I think but having
him in that experience there, he's a great recruiter, great man.
So I think I'm excited about that. I think I
didn't know the stack that he's going to be coaching
the whole defensive line.
Speaker 5: But that'll be intriguing to see how that goes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just looked it up.
Speaker 3: Ye had Chad outside linebackers coach and look, look these
guys can Like if Chad's getting involved with the d ends,
I mean, Sonny Poole can still oversee.
Speaker 2: You see stuff like that along like people give an advice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in charge of the whole defensive line, which
to me, I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 2: Look, this is the guy that's played at the next level.
Speaker 3: Great coach, but when you think about promotions of head coach,
who resembles it? I was really trying to think, you know.
And obviously Kelly Papega will be a head coach one day.
He varroll me be a head coach at BYU of
Kalani calls it early, we don't know. But right now,
when you look at who may be embodied that of
what Kalani is be that culture, you look at and
I feel like he's right there. Like if you've ever
gotten a chance to talk to him and speak to him, man,
you'll be very impressed. He's a great individual.
Speaker 4: And besides is that he gets pictures taken of him
and people use it as pictures of clone all the time.
Speaker 5: So he's right there.
Speaker 2: So there's there's Kalani.
Speaker 3: Guys doesn't wear the towel on the head with the hat,
you know, and Klana's got a little bit more hair
than than so I understand.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: Let's talk running back room. Look, they got they got
good depth obviously. I think what the projector will be.
Speaker 2: It will be l J.
Speaker 3: And then you're gonna have Devaughan at the three and
then maybe President Jovessa move in the mix as well.
I think that's what it will start as. I don't
think he'll finishes that. We'll just have to see. But
do you believe b Yu is going to push to
get l J. Martin to break this rushing record. It
seems like that is the first on the document in
the running back room.
Speaker 5: I think they will. I definitely thin they'll use him
a ton.
Speaker 4: I think with stays healthy, they'll get a little bit
of I think it will help him out yards per
carry a little bit because he won't be able to
be able to have some different looks there. But I'm
guessing he gets a little less carries just because so
they can keep him healthier longer.
Speaker 5: But I think I think you're gonna get that one
two punch a lot next year.
Speaker 4: And then obviously if Devon develops like the way they're talking,
and then you know, some of the other guys like
like you mentioned that are that are there in the
in the works with de Mooney, I think being really
the one that's going to be right there on the
the on.
Speaker 5: The heels, depending on what happens with Devon and De Mooney.
But I think I feel comfortable with to do.
Speaker 4: I don't think everybody in Coignation feels comfortable with with
as your RB two, but I do. Obviously, there was
some injuries and people are gonna say, well, he's always injured. Well,
last year's compartment syndrome stuff is like a total fluke thing.
In my opinion, that's not gonna happen every year. And
then the year before he only missed three or four games,
So it's not like the end of the world. It's
not like he's a guy that's never going to be playing,
and I think he'll he'll be a really really good
RB two. I don't think he's I mean, could he
be RB one material maybe but I wouldn't say that
he is.
Speaker 5: I don't think so. But I think he's a great
RB two guy.
Speaker 4: I mean, he had five yards per carry on like
seventy carries so far in his career, so that's still
a good running back. LJ has like five point two
or five point three, so it's not like he's way
behind in terms of yards per carry. Obviously his sample
size isn't near as big, but I do think seventy
nine or seventy carries isn't nothing.
Speaker 2: So true seventy carries matters. You're gonna need a guy
like that to help.
Speaker 3: Look with the running backs you have, you have a
bruiser and Lji mok are running in between the tackles
and outside, but after that it's tough. That's a lot
for Devan as a freshman to take on that saying
he's not capable. I know Jamal or what is it,
Williams is high on him. We've had Luke Han on
the show who's mentor like, they're very high. I am
high on the kid.
Speaker 2: But we'll see.
Speaker 3: I know he's put on nine pounds of muscle already
since he's been down there as a mid season in
row Lye. I'll get your thoughts on that, is that
where high school kids should go, regardless if they're going
on the mintion or not. We saw Emerson Golluman do it.
People know after high school, even if they're gonna graduate
and go later or they can graduate in genuary, should
they enroll early to get that development.
Speaker 2: It seems like it can do you a lot of benefit.
Speaker 4: I think the mid Jian and really I'm torn because
we actually had a discussion on this on one of
the other fan boards that I'm on, and that is
that I love it for football specifically.
Speaker 5: I think it's great to have mid year in rolies.
Speaker 4: Whether it's mid year you're actually enrolling or you're leaving
on your mission to be able to come back in
mid year enroll when you get back your mission. Yes,
I think either one of those is awesome, except for
the fact that you are taking away these kids senior years,
like they're making the choice. I'm not saying anybody's forcing
him into it, but like you only get to be
a high schooler once and kind of get to have
live that bliss of like not having all the stress
in the world and everything going on. So I think
it's a little sad for some of them. But honestly,
what I've heard from some of the kids nowadays. You know,
it's been fifteen years since I graduated high school, and
it's one of those things that they're.
Speaker 5: Saying like it's kind of a waste of time.
Speaker 4: Now it's getting more and more to the point where
they don't even have classes sometimes the last semester. So
I think it's a great thing for the football, for
the football program, and in general, I think it's a
great thing. I think these guys get to get in,
get to make a difference in spring ball, and get
to get a lot more. Really, it makes freshmen ready
to contribute year one, where it's a lot more difficult
that they're coming in the in the middle of the summer.
Speaker 3: Yep, I agree. I really like the first year in Rollies, well,
Midian and Rolies. I think it's good for him. Also
those that get there in April, that's okay too, that
want to do this year in the year. But I
definitely think there is definitely some benefit as well, and
maybe a coming you realize need a great shirt. It's
all good at the end of the day. And uh, look,
I mean I think One of the reasons why Emerson's
on a mission is he came early. He spent that
you know time with BYU. He was already down there
practice at.
Speaker 2: The high school.
Speaker 3: A good football player. He'll be coming back as well.
Your thoughts, Enig Watson, Jet Nelson birth served in the
mission together. Could we see that connection maybe at some point,
you know, during the BYU season.
Speaker 2: This look QB two is gonna be the conversation of
a lifetime.
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna go get a guy, but
you need look, if it's not going to be tracing,
then it has to be Enig. But I like how
Tracon throws the football man. Can he lay?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: No, I like Tracy. I think Trayson is. I just
think we have an awesome situation in the quarterback room
right now. Like people are gonna complain because you want
to stack five star on five star on five star
and that obviously it's just not how it goes in
the transfer portal era. So I think with us having
obviously bear At a super high sealing guy, but then
you have Trayson as a super high floor guy that's ready,
that's there, that's been in the system a lot of
long time, he knows what he's doing. He's willing to
be a team guy, like he's perfect what you want
as a QB two option. And then you have the
up and coming Nick Watson, who if he develops and
comes out and plays up to his talent level, like
he could totally beat out Trayson in that spot and
be ready to take over if anything does happen, like
I think mid game something happens, it's definitely Traycon.
Speaker 5: He's gonna come in, fill in, take th reast of
the game.
Speaker 4: If it's like a okay, Bear's gone for the rest
of the season after game one knock on wood, I
did not say that in Cougar Nation.
Speaker 5: If that happened, it is not my fault.
Speaker 4: But if that happens, then obviously then he started looking. Okay,
who has the higher side? Do we want to develop
Enich right now or do we want to put the
time in the tracing. That's that's the awesome situation we
have is that we do have three options. One that's
super super raw but ready, and then we have Trayson
who's could jump in any given moment and at least
not be a huge drop off.
Speaker 5: He's a super high floor.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say the super highest ceiling in the whole world,
but he's a great quarterback who's developed and knows what
he's doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you like the fact of you got a veteran
backing up, a guy that's been there for a while,
that always posed as well. He might not have the
playing time, but being a guy that's run the scout,
that's been in a system, he knows the playbook, so
he's not gonna get things confused, just about decision making
at that point.
Speaker 2: So you love that.
Speaker 3: And you got a guy that you like, the Enian
Watson that's coming back from a mission. If I had
to put a you know, the depth bean, you know
the to my brain of the Martians as they say,
I would go Bear tracing then Enich.
Speaker 2: But I definitely think Enich, like Emerson, might have a chance.
So that leads me to this springball.
Speaker 3: What do you want to see from Bear obviously, but
what would you like to see from that the backups
out of there?
Speaker 2: What would you like to see from Trayson and Enoch?
Speaker 3: Because that's where we saw Evan Johnson really the potential, right,
That's where we saw a lot of these guys. Tommy Tray,
like all these guys can play, and then they started
to showcase as a freshman. That was only a year
or two ago that we saw that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope Enich gets a ton of reps because
obviously Trayson's getting want them.
Speaker 5: You're gonna want Bear to get into this.
Speaker 4: I mean, he hasn't been in the system for a
full year yet, even so you want him to get
as many reps as you can. But also you want
to be smart with him and not get any I
don't know how his footste it after injuring it the
second time in the of all game.
Speaker 5: I'm sure it's getting mostly better, but you don't want
that to creep up.
Speaker 4: And I think you want to get some experience for
a guy like Enik in springball and let him let
him go. And then obviously as you get to Trayson
whoever in this NFL campus, I mean, you want to
get Trayson ready to be QB two if that's the case.
But I think you try and give Enich as many
reps as you can just to see what you've got
during springball, because that's a good time to do a
lot of the trial period stuff.
Speaker 3: Look, I joked about it at the beginning, I'm probably
gonna get reprimanded anyway, if you've heard the first hour
of the show, I was pretty critical of accountability because look,
you know, when you're when you've allocated for robust roster
of staff and things aren't working well and you're getting
this deep into the season, the pie chart of accountability
is a real thing.
Speaker 2: That's something that has taught me.
Speaker 3: Uh So, but I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you this,
where do you think the struggles are with this bou
basketball team? Last year they turned it around, but it's different.
You know, you're more talented this year, but last year's
continuity and the way they move the ball, it doesn't
seem like that's happening for this year's team.
Speaker 5: I'm torn.
Speaker 4: I do think it depends on how much the where
are that continuity issues coming from? And it's hard to
tell from the outside, Like I can make all kinds
of assumptions that it's because we don't have as many
by you guys as we should have, or you know, there's.
Speaker 5: There's all those different types of assumptions.
Speaker 2: We can make enough not enough Richie return missionary guys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, and and honestly, that could be true, Like
I'm not saying it isn't true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I have no idea.
Speaker 4: I can't go in and say, hey, this is what
the locker room looks like inside, and this is what's
going on with the issues.
Speaker 5: So I just have no idea.
Speaker 4: Obviously it's an issue though, and I think they've got
to figure it out if they want to get to
where they need to go. And I think, honestly, a
guy that I feel like isn't getting the minutes that
I wish he was was Dominique Diamond, Like I think
I don't get why. Like when he's played, he looks
great to me. Obviously I'm not. I'm not a basketball savant,
but I think he looks great. He's giving energy minutes. Obviously,
he's deep blue, made everybody love him like, he's just
a super awesome guy that I don't know why he's
not getting time before If we are struggling, why not
throw him in and see what it does? The greatest spark.
So you bring up a good point.
Speaker 3: We had Kyle Collinsworth on the show two days ago
and we asked Kyle, uh, you know, hey, you know
where did it turn to?
Speaker 2: And he had.
Speaker 3: Said, I'll say this and let you guys figure it out.
I'm paraphrasing obviously, but there's a guy that hasn't played
much that I think they can help this team, you know.
And when we broke it down, we're like, well, I
don't think it's Jerry McGregor, you know, and BID's like not,
you know, been might be No, it's j Mack, you know.
All jokes aside. But because I'm thinking about defense, right,
you think of what turned the point last year? What
Mag's defense, Tray Stewart's defense, right, And that's why I
was like, oh, it has to be Dominique. It has
to be Dominique, and he let us guess. We left
Kyle a long. We didn't text him, but you have
to because they're not gonna burn kJ Perry's red shirt.
Speaker 2: You know, we might be out. I discussed it in
the first start, that is that a possibility? Do you
do to now?
Speaker 3: And when I said that, I was saying that just
to put that out there's an option.
Speaker 2: I never thought that'd be considered, and now maybe it should.
But I agree.
Speaker 3: Dominique being six' nine, man he can guard on the.
Wing he kind of plays like the unorthodox dude Where
i'm from in the, hood that just is, like will
lock you up on the defense and grab boards and
he hasn't seen the. TIME i think the thing for,
him and maybe you can speak to this. Well from
what you, notice he's so eager to prove, himself WHICH
i love. You the one thing you had to do
as a, coach, right you, know and you have. Kids
you never want to tell, him, hey could you turn
up for? Me can you get locked? In he already
comes in with, that but you also need to be
dial it back where when you came into that you
talk get and he picked up three quick.
Speaker 2: FOULS i was, Like, okay that's not helping your.
Speaker 3: Case and then you know, you you lose your two
left feet and you foul The Oklahoma. Steak even THOUGH
i felt that they were flopping a lot with contact
and it's supposed to be The big.
Speaker 2: Twelve that's not helping you. Either, Yeah, NO i think that's.
Speaker 4: FAIR i think you obviously have to Not, yeah that's
probably a pretty big strength that people don't think about that,
often is that if you are trying to prove, yourself
fighting the balance between going too crazy but also showing
enough that you're the coach doesn't feel like yes to
obviously motivate, you but being able to dial back if
you are somebody that's super Intend SO i do you
think that's something that THAT i hadn't thought of that
definitely could be a case against.
Speaker 5: HIM i guess.
Speaker 3: Yeah and that's just the, minute because when you're playing
how they do it in THESE nba the, system these,
minutes when they break down, film the. Analytics when you
commit three fouls and you're only playing six, minutes it's
not gonna bode well for you when you do the
next game, planning the scoutter.
Speaker 2: Report that's just.
Speaker 5: Tough but, look he's a.
Speaker 3: Guy, Look i'm just gonna say. It kevin needs a lineup.
Change it has to. HAPPEN i discussed in the first
hour if you miss you know DOWN i don't know
if you heard, it but my thoughts were THAT i
think you need to Bring dominique in the starting. LINEUP
i DO i Think canard needs to go to the.
Bench it's nothing Against. Canard he's a great. PLAYER i
think he's an elite. DEFENDER i still think he has
the potential the rest of his time AT bi to
be an all big twelve. Defender but at this current
moment in, time AND i put out the stats yesterday
on My, twitter which you probably saw out of you,
know the twenty four, fouls twelve of them came from
the guard, Line Rob ritchie And, canard and that just
that can't.
Speaker 2: Happen at the end of the.
Speaker 3: Day you cannot have the three guys that need to
play perimeter defense the best on your, team along WITH
aj you know in K but those guys can be
foul and they missing shots And canard played well, offensively
but defensively WHEN ba was trying to get back into the,
game there are a couple of foules down the stretch
that you just can't.
Speaker 4: Have, YEAH i think that's totally fair AND i THINK
i would take. That what you just just Get.
Speaker 5: Just see what it. Does it, does, honestly three game losing,
Streak see what it. Does see what it.
Speaker 3: Does, look ALL i got to say is, this the
three game losing streak could turn into a four game
losing Stre you welcome in the top Ten houston. Team
if you Thought Oklahoma state was, Physical oh, boy have
you Met Kelvin? Samson do you forget who he? Is
they gonna take you ninety four feet the whole.

THE espn The fan hotline for our first guest of the.
Show we Have Casey luglis REPRESENTING bausi Dot. Com, casey
thanks for joining me.
Speaker 6: Today, hey, guys how's it going going?
Speaker 2: GOOD i can't.
Speaker 3: Complain, LOOK i know it's basketball, season but it's always
football season in the state Of utah here ON espn
The fan On Couper, sports springball is a month.
Speaker 2: AWAY byu added some mid year.
Speaker 3: Editions just want to first get your thoughts on the
midyear editions and the roster now THE bau has that
we'll see in about a month or.
Speaker 7: SO i think they've done a really good job constructing this.
Roster anytime you can win twelve games and then return
pretty much every key player that was eligible to, return
you do lose some key seniors Like Jack kelly Tanner.
WALL i think those guys will be hard to, replace
but you have the people on the roster now.
Speaker 6: That could potentially replace those.
Speaker 7: Two so when, you, know go eleven to, one make
The Big Twelve, championship and then you bring pretty much
everyone back from that, team and then you add a
few players that could potentially maybe take this team to
that next, STEP i think you have to feel really
good about Where BYU's roster. Stands it's not, perfect, obviously
but as it stands In, february it's kind of. Weird
we haven't been able to project rosters this early on
in the. Offseason that's usually A may Or june activity
after the spring transfer, window but since there's only one
window this, year we're kind of getting an idea for
WHAT byu is going to look like for spring camp
and then for the season in the.
Speaker 3: Fall question on the, window do you like the one?
Window your thoughts and THAT i know that's something that
they recently.
Speaker 7: CHANGED i think one window makes sense just because the
last few years have been so. Hectic with that being,
SAID i STILL i don't know what the perfect calendar.
Is the calendar doesn't make sense to me with the
window not opening Until. JANUARY i get that because there's
still bulgames going, on but at the same, time you've
got semesters, starting so it feels like it just crammed
everything into a two or three week. Period so Maybe
Nick saban's suggestion of one spring transfer window is ultimately
the best place.
Speaker 6: Where it could.
Speaker 7: Land on one, HAND i do think that would penalize
teams that bring in transfers because they wouldn't be able
to acclimate those transfers during. Springball on the other, hand
maybe that's kind of a way to encourage more roster,
retention because everyone knows that that's lacking in college, football
and maybe if you can even ratchet up what kind
of an advantage that can be for your, team then
then maybe it would incentivize coaches to keep a few
more players around that maybe they're letting loose In december
And january in order to find a player from another.
Speaker 3: SCHOOL i like the point that you bring up about
springball and incentivizing.
Speaker 2: Players you see WHAT bayu is able to do with
the continuity and.
Speaker 3: RETENTION i definitely think it would force, Coaches so who,
knows maybe it, might it might, not.
Speaker 2: BUT i like, that but it could also. Penalize like you,
said that's a good.
Speaker 3: Thought we're here With Casey lunquist representing bausside Dot com
here ON espn The fano Of Cougar sports on This,
Thursday february fifth edition Depth. Charts you said they were
not able to really predict that Till may Or june
was the prediction depth chart at running back saw you
pin to piece. By you got a guy back In
makai Beck stead back from a. Mission what do you
like about what he has to the running back? Room
that was WHERE BAU i think lacked the most depth last.
Speaker 7: Season, Yeah i'm certainly not breaking news WHEN i SAY
lj will.
Speaker 6: Start that's that's what we.
Speaker 7: KNOW lj will be the, Guy AND i THINK byu
AND Lj, ALIKE i think they're going to PUSH lj
to to try to break the all time rushing record
at B. YU i do, think you, know obviously winning
games is, priority BUT i do think that's going to
be a goal FOR byu this. Season BEHIND. Lj, MARTIN
i think it's wide. OPEN i think going into last
year that was's job and then he was unable to.
Speaker 6: Go and not only was he unable to, go but.
Speaker 7: He suffered a pretty devastating, injury and depending on who
you talk, to that that can take a long time
to recover. From SO i would still say is the
favorite to back UP. Lj. Martin but just Yesterday Aaron
rodericks said he would not be surprised If Devon ekka
makes an instant impact as a true. Freshman he ran
for three thousand yards At. Lehigh he's been one of
the best running backs in the state the last few.
Years he's enrolled now In, january and he will have
the advantage of participating in spring, Ball SO i think
he's the name to. Watch and Then i'll obviously Uh
joevesta De mooney got some run there in the bowl
game as. WELL i still see him more as you,
know kind of a specialty back with his ability to
catch out of the, backfield and where he had the
most success in that bowl game was kind of as
the running back on a speed. Option SO i think
in those kind of situations are probably best For. Jovesa
but IF i had the guest, TODAY i WOULD i
would SAY. Lj Then, cione BUT i Think Devon eka
is probably going to at least make it.
Speaker 3: Interesting, yeah heard from another person who joined our show
came IN i think in like one eighty two INTO
b he's one ninety one right, now so he's already
put on lean. Mussel that's a guy that Jamal Or,
williams FORMER yu running, back is raved. About so that's
think that's a guy everybody has their. Cause last year
the running back Room BARON. Lj i'll just be, HONEST
i don't know if you could run that again and
try to win a BIG till title and get to
the college fotball. Playoffs you're gonna need depth there and
staying on the top of a. Debt where's the role
do you see maybe For Preston rex they raped the
bottom in fall. CAMP i remember you being down. There
we were in the huddles and he got dinged up
and it just seemed like he never really found his.
Speaker 6: Place, Yeah, preston AND i failed to Mention.
Speaker 7: PRESTON i think he'll probably be in the mix there
as well like he was last. Year he would probably to,
ME i think he's kind of been in the description
THAT i just had For Joe VESSA demoni kind of
a receiving running. BACK i don't know that he'll ever
be a guy that is really comfortable running between the.
Tackles he didn't do that in high. School he was
a safety and a wide. Receiver so while he did
play on both sides and in high, school he did
not he did not ever play running. Back SO i
would say he's probably you, know third or fourth in
there kind of By Devon. Ekka but is in terms
of just being able to hand a ball to a
back and giving them the full playbook at the heter,
DISPOSAL i Think eka probably.
Speaker 6: Probably is is that to be option right Behind.
Speaker 2: Sea, YEAH i like What prest And rex.
Speaker 3: Bring will see what he's able to do spring, ball fall,
camp see how healthy guys are coming, back definitely once
we get To. March let's go now to obviously the
additions that by you. Adds we talked about, Retention Katie, Luave, Walker, Lyons,
Roberts Yell. Apinga who is the best transfer THAT byu is?
Ated we had the debate. Yesterday your thoughts on the.
MATTER i like What kate. BRINGS i think he can
give you What Jack kelly can give, you even THOUGH
i Think nucy will be in that role maybe a
little bit more BECAUSE i mean he's a number one
lineback out of the. Portal but by you need a
tight end Like Walker lions and he can just elevate the.
Offense let's SAY.
Speaker 5: Ukc, YEAH i.
Speaker 6: Like a lot of the transfers they brought. In klanie
mentioned it.
Speaker 7: Yesterday their foundation is going to be on high school
recruiting and player, development AND i think that is long
term the best way FOR byu to stain sustain long term.
Success AND i think the ratio that they found This
january of retaining players bringing in you, know eight to twelve,
TRANSFERS i think that's the ratio where they would like
to be in the long. Run SO i think they've
they've kind of found the sweet spot that they're in right,
now AND i think we can expect more from that
in the future if things go As Klanie satake would
like them. Too, secondly to answer your, QUESTION i Love
Walker lions fit in THIS byu. Offense Carson ryan came
in in one, season he tripled his perduction AND i
think there's a real scenario Where Walker lions could do the.
Same he, was you, know a highly touted pass catcher
coming out of high, school and he's developed as a
BLOCKER usc and That's that's one area Where Carson ryan
just MADE byu so much better last year was his
ability to do. Both AND i See Walker lions being
able to do. That so to, Me I'm i'm most
high On Walker. LIONS i think he'll he'll make A
Carson ryan type impact this.
Speaker 6: Year and Then Kadu luave is, obviously he's really.
Speaker 7: Good HE'S nfl good and it's really hard to Replace Jack.
Kelly K Kate lave is the type of player that
can do. That Jack kelly was, obviously you, know he
was BYU's leading pass, rusher, yes and he got pressure
on the quarterback about thirty percent of the time when
he rushed the.
Speaker 6: Quarterback kate was only used sparingly as.
Speaker 7: A as a pass rusher AT, cal but he got
to the QUARTERBACK i think it's forty eight percent of the,
time whether it was a hurry or a quarterback hit
or a. Sack so he was one of the best
and most efficient pass rushers from the linebacker spot last,
year AND i do expect B yu to utilize him
more that way than he was A. Cal SO i see,
him you, know sliding quite nicely into That Jack kelly.
Speaker 3: Role, YEAH i love the takes for Both walker with
the full spring ball With bear a full off.
Speaker 2: Season you gotta love.
Speaker 3: That you gotta love a quarterback who has a potential
to throw for four thousand. YARDS i don't think that's
hyperbole with these, weapons And Carson ryan one of the
highest GRADED i think it was the highest graded actually
tight end per A Pro Football Focus, like, look this
IS i like to take AND i Like. Cad you,
know getting pressure forty percent of the time when you
do rush him when a quarterback is. Phenomenal we saw
What jack was able to do in then the combination
of what excuse mean Now, Jack Kelly Isaiah glasker look
forward to seeing WHAT byu is able to to. Do
let's talk about some of the, hires, now get your
thoughts on. Those kalani finalizes his, staff promotes a couple
of people. INTERNALLY i think that's the best type of
decision you can, do is when you're promoted, INTERNALLY i
think you're elevating your program and people that have succeeded
from THE ga. Level what do you like about As
what do you like about kiline? Staff which he's finalized
the rest of it.
Speaker 2: YESTERDAY i like.
Speaker 7: The continuity that they were able to bring back despite
losing J.
Speaker 5: Hill you only.
Speaker 6: Lose jay And.
Speaker 7: GENNARO i think what this staff has found is an
ability to collaborate a game plan that helps them win,
games perhaps more than their talent.
Speaker 6: Suggests. Like don't get me, WRONG i THINK byu the last.
Speaker 7: Two years has been has put together talented, rosters and
they're getting more talented every. Year but the star ratings
SUGGESTS byu should be.
Speaker 6: Were in like the seven and five to eight and four.
Category SO i think.
Speaker 7: The kind of the superpower of the staff the last
two years has been to properly evaluate where they think
their deficiencies are going to be against certain, opponents and
then the other side of the ball will help you.
Know for, example if IF byu is concerned about a
team's ability to put up a lot of, points they
will have the offense kind of go to a slower
pace and help limit possessions for the. DEFENSE i think
that's the kind of thing that's worked for this. Staff
and being able to keep a lot of the same
people in the room that have been part of those
discussions in the, PAST i think that's that's an advantage
For kilani And coke going into this. YEAR i also
LIKE i do Like Kelly. PAPINGA i for, ONE i
just Think kilani in his track record of high, coordinators
he has a really solid track. Record whether it's promoting
from within or finding someone, external he's nailed it pretty
much every. Time SO i would say he's had a
front row seat to Watch Kelly. Papinka and therefore my
belief is That klannie, is you, know well equipped to
make that. Decision he's proven that he is in the.
Past so if if he Says Kelly papinka was his first,
CHOICE i believe, that AND i think the defense will
be will be just, fine especially considering the guidance That
kilannie And Gary anderson will Give Kelly.
Speaker 3: Papinka excited to see what this? Is springball, crazy casey
what four weeks? Away probably a month the Sea it
felt like The Pop Tards bowl in By u's twelve
one season first time and. OVER i, think you know,
what twenty years it just ended and here we are
thirty days away and these guys will be starting back.
Speaker 2: Up it's an exciting time in In.
Speaker 6: Provo definitely should be a lot of fun in the.
Speaker 7: Offseason probably probably not as many ups and downs as
the last one With Jake kretzlov and losing a guy
like kill And. Marry AND i think it's good for
fans to be able to In january look at a
roster and start to get excited for a season instead,
of you, know having to go through the ups and
downs that college football fans have become a customed to
last few.
Speaker 3: Years, yeah don't think there're gonna be any ups and
downs in relation to, that but you, know shout out
To jake And, quiel and it just shows You by's
development was able To jake left and went To tulane
and led his team to the college football. Playoffs keelan
played in a national. Championship so it goes back to
your main point of how the culture And kilane staff
and the development And. Byu it showcases that if you
had asked me to put that on My bengo card
for twenty twenty, five it was not.
Speaker 2: There but sure, enough that's just what. Happens.

on some basketball things About Kevin young BEFORE i play
the sound clip that you know was put. Out, look
there's Something i've just been thinking. About you, know it
might be worth you, know to pose this question and
relates to. Basketball AS i close it out And i'm
turning it over TO uvu. Basketball so it's only fitting
with the secondary ball, handlers and the secondary ballhanders are
going to Be Dawson, Baker Nate. Pickens wouldn't it maybe
be wise for the team to push the ball in transition.
Speaker 2: And get easier looks maybe at the?
Speaker 3: RIM i would, think, so you, know that way for
all different individuals who are rim threats in you, know
in the starting, Lineup like think about. That are there
are not multiple rim threats in the starting? Lineup if
you push in transition it would also help along with
creating more energy in the. Ball in my, opinion you
move it. Easier that's What ba he wants to. Do
AND i feel like they haven't done, that which you,
KNOW i hopefully that would, increase you, know the confidence Of, Kostitch, Boop, Maruss.
Diamande you, KNOW i would think so when they. Play
that's something THAT i thought. About you, Know it's SOMETHING
i really been picking up my, brain and that's something
THAT i think is a very very valid point That
i'm bringing up secondary ball handle that you're, gone so
now that you just Have rob And aj and sometimes Maybe,
RICHIE i think it'd be wise to get in transition
a little bit more to be able to do, that
to give different individuals looks at the rim who are rim,
threats Because boop is a rim. THREAT i Believe Dominique,
Diamonde maruss is a three point, shooter But Ka, BAKEDA
i feel like they've gotten away from that. Recently and,
look we all know everybody outside of The big three
is basically a role. Player canard role, Player keba a role.
Player AND i hate to say, That i'm saying that
and it sounds, bad BUT i mean the big three
you're gonna live in down the hill and the combined.
Points you need. Help so not really role, players but
everybody else outside of the big, three they need to play.
Better and when the ball is, moving it's very like
look at the team last. Year when the ball is,
Moving Trace tour was knocking down, buckets more was knocking
down buckets. Everybody so when the ball is, moving when
offense possessions aren't you, know, sticky when you don't get
stuck in, mud when it's a damn, possession AS i,
call when you're ten seconds on the shot clock and
our best like all, right try to, finasy get downhill
and gets blocked or it's a bad, shot it will
it will lead to winning plays or it should lead
to winning.
Speaker 2: Place let me say. That SO i don't.
Speaker 3: Know energy and overall better defense is what it will
lead to in my. Opinion so push the ball in transition.
Better your secondary ball handlers are. Gone give the people
who are rim threats an opportunity to run and transition with.
You that way you can take the other team and
put them on their. Heels that will allow the other
players coming off the bench out side of The big
three to play. Better the ball will be moving and then,
people once you're hitting, shots will have to guard. You
they were doing at the beginning of the. Season the
talent wasn't the formidable they're going. Against they haven't been
doing that so, far but that leads to winning. PLAYERS
i believe in energy and better. Defense we'll see they.
Do we will see what they. DO i got the
sex message from my former. Boss he said how many
of their own fans are lds and often are are
offended by lead chance and this is a good. Point
willy brings up a really good, Point Willy. WAITE i
don't think you'll care THAT i mentioned, him but former
supervisor WHEN i was at The Missionary Training.
Speaker 2: Center that's a good, Point.
Speaker 3: Willy there are probably people who are at that GAME
ba fans from the Still water that were also. OFFENDED
i forgot about, that and that's something that needs to be.
Speaker 2: Addressed it really. Does And brett brought up a good.
Speaker 3: Point service projects those but, YEAH i have to think
it would offend people to who are. There let's turn
to the sound From Kevin. Young this was yesterday from
the post. Game we didn't play any post game sound
because it's, back BUT i want to try to play this.
Clip i'm gonna turn it all the way up BECAUSE
i want you guys to Hear Kevin young talking about
just being a member of the church and you know
how you have four. Kids this happened last year At
arizona and he had to explain this to his. Kids
so let's hear From Kevin.
Speaker 2: Young here we.
Speaker 5: Go i'm gonna do.
Speaker 9: It just there was some After mormon's chants tonight by
the student seestion THAT i, heard. Uh and you, know
it's a great win For Oklahoma State. University their their
fans should be. Proud but it would be great if if,
uh you, know some class was was warrant you, know
in there as. Well you, KNOW I i got four
small kids at.
Speaker 5: Home you Know i'm A. Mormon WHEN i go, home
they're gonna ask me about it same way they ask
me about it last year At. Arizona there's just too
much hate in the world to be s chit st
saying stuff like.
Speaker 9: That we got enough problems in our world without going
at people's religion and beliefs and like whether it's in
vogue or not an an and and we don't even
have our whole.
Speaker 5: Teams we only have probably four or five guys that
who are Even mormon on the. TEAM i understand what we,
represent but.
Speaker 9: Even for a guy Like, agent you, know like that
stuff is unwarranted and and LIKE i, said, man like
you KNOW I I i try to talk to our
guys about being examples in the, world like we can
use basketball to really just bring people together and.
Speaker 5: Not tear people.
Speaker 9: Apart so we talk about a, lot and, uh it's just.
Disappointing so SO i hope someone prints. THAT i hope
it's involved on some mu's publication and just trying to
maybe together.
Speaker 5: As a society we can just help the. World got
to move forward and not not divide.
Speaker 9: Each other and with with hate and things that's really.
Speaker 5: Nonsensitive thank you.
Speaker 2: FOR i think all.
Speaker 3: Right that Was Kevin young giving his thoughts. Yesterday and,
Look i'm gonna compare something that some people might get,
uncomfortable AND i really don't care you guys, Know i'm
gonna call it how it, is like if you're if you're,
uncomfortable it's probably one because it doesn't pertain to or
you haven't addressed it as.
Speaker 2: Much but it's a real.
Speaker 3: THING i feel the same way about when people use
THE f To. Mormons, chance, right when there's something to
deal with, racism when people said THE n. WORD i
have people in The southeast THE n word on my
mission to. Me you, Know i'm Not i'm not gonna
define what it, is but you all are smart enough to.
Know and it's very hurtful and it shouldn't be. Allowed
hurtful things should not be allowed to be. Said and
it's AND i agree With, kevin it should be, printed
it should be. Public, Look i'm not a perfect. Individual
WHEN i was, Sixteen i'm gonna give you a quick
story before we. END i REMEMBER i, saying you know
things as a, dude you, know you get with, this you,
know fifteen six year old, boys, teachers, priests you. Know
AND i was saying some stuff around the young. Woman
NOW i was trying to THINK i was, cool, RIGHT
i said some. Things someone recorded it WHAT i was,
saying you, know the that's what you know what? Jokes,
right gonna watch WHAT i say so and get a
fine on the.
Speaker 2: Airways.
Speaker 3: Right but in someone someone did that and it was
sent to SOMEONE i won't say, who but it was
sent to a church. Leader the church leader sat me,
down they played it for, me didn't chastise me right
could have and said are you? Upset and are you
embarrassed because you got? Caught or do you actually feel?
Bad and for the first time in my, life but
the first TIME i was completely, honest probably a teenager
Said i'm EMBARRASSED i got caught because of what you
will think of. Me and he, says, well if that's the,
case and don't you Think, christ why don't you feel
the way about What christ would? Think it's not just?
Me what about other? People what about the rest of
the young? Women what about the rest of your? Friends
SO i hope that's an example to people when you,
say when you hear someone say after, morments will you
hear someone make a racially inappropriate, comment insensitive comment just
because it doesn't have you and just because you don't
care about it doesn't mean. Nothing we all need to
stand in hand in hand in this. World there are
far greater. ISSUES i see too much, BIGOTRY i see
too much. RACISM i see way too.
Speaker 2: Much what is?
Speaker 3: It people are demeaning religion and all across all the,
Bards And i'm tired of. It i'm tired of seeing
it as a Black African american man in this, country
that is a that is a member of the, church
and You christ a lot of the. Sense i'm tired of,
it tired to seeing it from a church, standpoint tied
to see it from our race. Standpoint it needs, enough is?
Enough SO i really hope that this is able to be.
Settled still gonna be Christ, Like still gonna be a.
Peacemaker you, know love those people do What christ will they?
Do but if you really love thy, neighbor if you
love your, neighbor AND i always ask, this if you
love your, neighbor would you want to harm? Them the
answer is gonna be N i don't think you. WOULD
i don't think you. Would so that is my tidbit
to end the show is do better love one, another
live the first and second greatest. Commandment and when bad
things happen just because you're uncomfortable you don't know how
to deal with, it don't just find the.
Speaker 2: Behavior go.
Speaker 3: Ahead it's tough because if you haven't gone through like,
oh how DO i have? Empathy you can always love
someone and say, Hey i'm sorry that that you experienced something.
Speaker 2: Bad is that's so hard to, say.
Speaker 3: AND i say that because there are people maybe back
Where i'm from that don't. Understand there are people who
are anti, religion and that's crazy because we love this
country because of the. Freedoms and one of these things
that is happening to not just the Eld As, church
but religion in, general is it's people are coming for,
it and you shouldn't come for someone's faith because they
want to wear it on their. Sleeve respect all of
you that do, that that stand up for what is.
Right if you struggle with.
Speaker 2: It it's. Okay do better.
Speaker 3: Today defend The church Of Judus christ the way you
defend another brother's.
Speaker 2: Sister whether they.
Speaker 3: Look like, you talk like, you act like, you whether
they believe the Same god as, you it does not.

the end of.
