14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,560
like Fred Warner being activated off the injured reserve. That

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,039
are you kidding me? It's great that dude man that

in Seattle for the Divisional round, per head coach Kyle Shanahan.

19
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:57,320
Pretty ridiculous, pretty crazy. Fred Warner suffered what seemingly was

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,840
a season ending injury earlier in the year and now

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,359
he's back. I was watching highlights of him run around

22
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:06,159
of practice last night. But you gotta be Kidney, who

23
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:08,239
is this man? We used to see that from like Taysom,

24
00:01:08,239 --> 00:01:11,200
He'd get injured season and he injured somehow get back

25
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:14,400
and be bigger, batter, and better than ever. What a

47
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:14,599
Speaker 3: How you doing? Hey, I just gotta make one. I

48
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:16,879
don't know if I understood you correctly, but I want

49
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,560
to make sure everybody knows that we don't check your

50
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:20,759
status if you're active or not before you walk in

51
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:21,159
the door.

52
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,199
Speaker 2: Even though what I said is if you are still

53
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,000
active and you're still wearing your suit, you know you

54
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,319
need to go into Odeon some of it. Hey, some

55
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,719
of our listeners are a little less active. I was

56
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:33,919
talking to a few of them. In fact, I pitched them.

57
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,960
I said, Hey, let's do a Sunday night get together

58
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,879
for all the less active BYU sports fans. Like a

59
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,960
little meet and greet, you know, because we kind of

60
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,280
feel I've been less active at times in my life,

61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,960
you know what I mean. You feel like you're in

62
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,120
the island of misfit toys. No, bring your Sunday best

63
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,199
and come hang out with some BYU fans and you

64
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:57,159
can get the Odeon Men's Wear Elevate suit as well.

65
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just wanted to make sure I could. Back

66
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:01,759
when we used to be modern missionary, people didn't think

67
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:03,520
they could walk in the store unless they were a missionary.

68
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,319
So just making sure we don't We don't have that

69
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,599
out there, So yeah, don't.

70
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,479
Speaker 2: Want Everyone's welcome, All visitors.

71
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: Welcome, one hundred percent love it.

72
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,759
Speaker 2: Hey, h Bradon what's caught your eye? During the college

73
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,560
football transfer portal season? As we get the into the

74
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,439
lead up of the College Football National Championship Game.

75
00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:26,439
Speaker 3: I would say, what's caught my eye? It is just that,

76
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,159
I mean, we've retained everybody. What an awesome feat for

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,000
I think we talked about this a little bit last week.

78
00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:34,479
But with everything, you know, losing j Hill and Gennaro,

79
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,479
Like I was really worried about general. Obviously when we

80
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,400
lost J Hill, I thought, like, you know, a lot

81
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,879
of the guys are probably gonna say we might lose

82
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:41,960
a couple, but Gennaro was the one coach that I

83
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,599
was super worried to lose, Like I was. I was

84
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:45,960
to the point where I was. I think I even

85
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,520
said on the show, like if we have to make

86
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:49,879
him DC to keep him, like that might be worth it,

87
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:53,599
just because he's so crucial to keeping guys here and

88
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:55,560
he's been you know, that's just a hard position with

89
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:58,520
the double minorities to recruit and the fact that he left.

90
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,840
And still we didn't lose any of our main contributors

91
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:03,199
in that position. Obviously lost tab On Beasley, but like

92
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,360
not our number one and two that I was nervous about,

93
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:08,919
Like that's huge. And then you know this week we

94
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,599
started pulling people out of the portal and Katu however,

95
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:15,319
he say, the last thing is somebody I'm really pumped about.

96
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: So it's a great day to be a Cougar, There's

97
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,120
no doubt about it. Is there an acquisition that you're

98
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:25,879
most excited about? Is it the the hawsers up front?

99
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,279
The three guys And by the way, Pockey Finale is

100
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,600
one of the most ripped offensive lineman I've ever seen.

101
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:36,680
If you can see the definition of the tricep of

102
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,040
an offensive lineman. Uh, that dude's stacked. That dude's not

103
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,560
the soft, supple offensive lineman of the past, that dude's

104
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:45,600
that dude's yoked.

105
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,639
Speaker 3: So Tjon Caromo two point zero is what we're saying this.

106
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm telling you T John is one of the

107
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:54,040
very few that had that try shep that definition. Pocky

108
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,040
Fenale's got it too.

109
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I'm I'm super excited about that. I really think, like, yes,

110
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,759
we're gonna we're gonna notice and talk about the guys

111
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:04,560
on the edges and you know some of the recruits

112
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,279
that are giving me more of the skill positions. But

113
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:09,240
obviously as a former offensive lineman and as something that

114
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,040
I really think that was what did us in this year,

115
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,720
like not saying that offensive line wasn't wasn't incredible, Like

116
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,079
I thought they were great, but they weren't elite, and

117
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,800
we needed elite to play against Texas Tech and win.

118
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,800
And I think you know, that was a place they

119
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,600
clearly recognize the coaching staff did that we need to

120
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,199
go and try and build that even stronger because that

121
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:29,000
was where I feel like that one spot if we

122
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,600
would have had that offensive line totally locked down against Tech,

123
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,480
I think it would have been a totally different game

124
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,759
on the offensive side of the coin.

125
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: So, uh, what give me your eval as a fan,

126
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:44,959
as a Cougar sports insider, de Mario Warren the defensive

127
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,879
back coach, quarterbacks coach, and the passing game coordinator.

128
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: I'm excited about it. You know, he's got he's got

129
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,839
a lot of experience, but he's also has a ton

130
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,959
of experience in the area. I think, honestly like it

131
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,079
makes a ton of sense in terms of getting a

132
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,600
minorities here. He's familiar, familiar enough with the church with

133
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,040
you know, him coaching the SUU for so long, even boys,

134
00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:08,720
he you know, has got some of that aspect there,

135
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:11,120
but he's still a double minority, can still bring in

136
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:11,920
a lot of those guys.

137
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: I know.

138
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:15,319
Speaker 3: He on his Sports Nation interview, he said that Gennaro

139
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:19,439
is his best friend in the coaching world, and so

140
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,519
I think, I think it's a really great fit. I

141
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:22,879
think he's, you know, the best thing we could ask

142
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,800
for in that spot. And I think it's going to

143
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:27,680
be a really big thing. And I think he's gonna

144
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,720
bring in some recruiting ties that are you know, we

145
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,600
we haven't had. We might lose a couple that we

146
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,600
that we had with Gennaro, but I think we're gonna

147
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,519
get some some other guys, and I think we're hopefully

148
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,680
we don't have a big drop off there.

149
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: I don't think you will, would your you know, what

150
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:42,959
do you want from the safeties coach? Or let me

151
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:46,480
let me ask you this. I've been debating with with

152
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,839
certain individuals about this. Do you want to Mario to

153
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,600
coach your corners or your safeties? If you could bring

154
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,000
in like a another guy to coach corners, like I

155
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,800
had put out my list of cornerbacks coaches that have

156
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,839
some connectivity to b YU DeVante Cross. He was a

157
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:06,639
former Virginia cornerback GA at New Mexico. Current Utah Tech

158
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:09,759
cornerbacks coach Brian Mitchell currently at n C State. Former

159
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:14,120
BYU and NFL cornerback and cornerbacks coach at b y

160
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:18,120
U Dwayne Walker. Maybe there's Charles Mack at Utah State,

161
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:22,480
Preston Hadley, Rob Daniel, Eddie Hecker, Mike David. If you

162
00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:26,040
could bring back someone to coach corners and to Mario

163
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,720
coaches safeties, would that be a route that you'd be

164
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:32,079
interested in pursuing. Or even Brandon Bradley, You know, Brandon

165
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:34,040
Bradley was another guy on my list.

166
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,519
Speaker 3: I mean, I love those guys. I think if you're

167
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,319
getting a coach just as good or better than Warren

168
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:41,199
and you can that, it makes most sense to move

169
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:42,800
them over. I think you go with that, But I

170
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:45,319
don't think you. I think you go after whoever the

171
00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:46,639
best coach you can get. I think enough of the

172
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:50,319
guys on the staff can move around that. I think.

173
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,639
I mean, even to Mario said in his interview with

174
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:55,759
with Sports Station that originally it sounded like he was

175
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,160
going to possibly gonna come when Gennara was still here

176
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:00,000
and he was going to be safeties coach. So obviously

177
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,199
that's an option, but I think it depends on who

178
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:03,920
you bring in. I don't want to go not that

179
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:06,040
I love some of those guys that you mentioned, but

180
00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:07,639
they're not proven. I think we're in a we're in

181
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:11,680
an era now with with the resources that we can

182
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,680
go and get a guy who's proven and then let

183
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,639
those other guys still kind of grow up through those

184
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:18,839
those ranks. Guys like you know, Eddie Heckert, who's gonna

185
00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:20,560
be an assistant out there at Michigan. Let him keep

186
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,959
growing up through that route. I don't know that I

187
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,800
want him to be the corners coach this year. And

188
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,560
let's go get somebody who is qualified ready to go

189
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,240
right this second. And if you have to move tomorrow

190
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,879
for that, I think that's totally great. But I don't

191
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:33,440
know that you have to if you played a safeties coach, Grady,

192
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,919
you find a linebacker's coach and let and let k

193
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:38,240
Pop go to safeties, like I think he could do

194
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:38,879
any of those.

195
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So okay, let's say tomorrow's the quarterbacks goes passing

196
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,360
a coordinator. What about Gavin Fawler? You know, I know

197
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,320
he's at Weeper State. Would you go and get him?

198
00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:49,639
Tanner Jacobson, would you go get him? He's a former

199
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,440
defensive back and safety and was coaching up at Tyler

200
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,720
Junior College. You have a couple options there that especially Gavin.

201
00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:01,639
I mean, he knows the defense quite well and is

202
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:06,679
essentially an internal hire if you get him back to b.

203
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:10,279
Speaker 3: YU, I would say Gavin was one that I obviously

204
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,200
there was a ton of smoke behind it, and the

205
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:15,360
fact that he hadn't been announced by Weber yet. That

206
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:17,159
was what I thought was gonna happen. I think we

207
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,360
even talked about last week, and I was good with

208
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,120
that because it was the internal It was somebody who's

209
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,559
super familiar with the system, had been coaching with Jay

210
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,639
in that position, so I would be good with that.

211
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,840
I think Tanner Jacobson also brings a totally different type

212
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,720
of experience. I think you do that, but I think

213
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,519
it's better for Tanner to go and you know, kind

214
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,440
his teeth in another spot, one more level up, and

215
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:37,639
then it's better for Bau long term for some of

216
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,240
these guys to keep growing in their spheres outside and

217
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,879
then come back when it's time and they're ready at

218
00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:45,039
that spot. But I wouldn't be mad with either one

219
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,720
of those guys if that was what it came down to.

220
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:51,159
Speaker 2: Brain Day CEO vote on Men's where braidon? What deals

221
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,960
do you have for us overhead? Odeon's right now?

222
00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so right now we've got we're not running any

223
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,440
specific monthly special for January, but we have we're always

224
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,840
obviously running deals and trying to keep prices competitive. We

225
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,840
have the free Missionary Gift, which is we're starting to

226
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,600
get people getting their calls. Availability dates have changed a

227
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,720
little bit, so now you can put your calls in earlier,

228
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:13,960
and so if you do have a mystery within the

229
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,879
walls of your homes or family members. We always do

230
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,960
a free shirt and free pair of socks for any missionary,

231
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,679
just because we trust our stuff enough that we believe

232
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,639
that if you come and try it and wash it,

233
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,200
wear it, do whatever you need to, you're going to

234
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:27,480
end up loving it.

235
00:10:27,639 --> 00:10:32,919
Speaker 2: So Transfer Portal I went through the numbers, the acquisitions

236
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:36,399
and the attritions, if you will, year over year since

237
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:40,080
about twenty twenty two. We currently sit at seven incoming

238
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:45,039
transfers and there are twelve on the out How many

239
00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:51,120
do you think BYU acquires this offseason? Last year was

240
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,600
thirteen and you lost twenty seven. It looks like it's trending.

241
00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:59,000
And look, there's going to be springball too, so you

242
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,960
could see some some other players that enter in after

243
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,759
spring ball and we can add to the list. But uh,

244
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,000
what do you make of it? What do you what

245
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:08,960
number do you think it's going to be both attrition

246
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,320
and acquisition?

247
00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, attrition wise, I think there could be some guys

248
00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:16,480
that after spring, you know, if they kind of see

249
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,960
the writing on the wall and move. I don't know

250
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,759
if I could, if there's a number I can think

251
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,120
up off my head. I think in terms of acquisitions,

252
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:24,840
we're at seven. Now, I think they're definitely gonna try

253
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,320
and get another two corners, at least, probably a running back,

254
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,200
a couple of other positions. If there's other opportunities, I

255
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,120
would guess we end up around end of twelve acquisitions

256
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,679
by the end of it, and then maybe two or

257
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,879
three more guys hit the portal after spring.

258
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,519
Speaker 2: What's your priority right now? Is it a QB two,

259
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,759
is it a CB three? Is it an RB two? Uh?

260
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,519
Where do you have your eyeset as far as positional

261
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:53,600
transfer portal?

262
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:54,279
Speaker 3: Uh?

263
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: You know, just your your your your your your, your wants,

264
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,440
your need if you will. If you were director of

265
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,759
player personnel at DYU, I.

266
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:06,279
Speaker 3: Would say cornerback, corner back, So see me corner just

267
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,159
because I feel like I feel like that's the spot

268
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,360
that the top two with from Evin and Trey are there,

269
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,360
but everybody else is just not proven yet. Like I

270
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,159
think that they're good, they're gonna be fine, but just

271
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,799
not proven. So I think those are the two spots.

272
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,240
Running backs another one. But I am a bigger believer

273
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,840
in MOA than I think the average fan is. But

274
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,759
I still think you want to have depth there because

275
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,919
hasn't proven to be super I think this last year's

276
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,720
injury was flu super fluky. But but I would say

277
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:34,080
corner is the first position I'm nervous spout, and then

278
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:34,960
running back next.

279
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's interesting, right, Like BYU hasn't taken any

280
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:47,080
poral running backs over the last couple of seasons, But

281
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,480
in the early I want to say, late two thousands

282
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:53,000
and even early, you know, twenty twenties, it always seemed

283
00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:56,279
like there we were picking up running backs. What gives?

284
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:56,879
What's going on?

285
00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's interesting. I think it's I don't

286
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,840
know what it is. I would say it's probably that

287
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:05,519
the coaches believe more in.

288
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: The room.

289
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: We than maybe the fans do. I think they think

290
00:13:10,159 --> 00:13:11,919
that they've got that. I also think there's a chance

291
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,200
that LJ. I mean, it would be really hard to

292
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,679
get a guy right now. Back when we were getting

293
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,320
those guys out of the portal, there was nobody in

294
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,240
the room or the guys weren't proven in the room.

295
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:21,120
So it's easy to come in and say, hey, you come,

296
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:23,919
come to the team and prove yourself and you're gonna

297
00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:25,799
be the starter. That's a lot harder when you have

298
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,480
LJ coming back. Even though it's the last two years.

299
00:13:29,039 --> 00:13:30,960
So I think anybody coming is going to come in

300
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,279
to be a depth piece, and if they're looking at that,

301
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,120
they're saying, well, we've got depth pieces we need, you know,

302
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:39,039
RB one A. And I don't think there's very many

303
00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:41,440
portal backs that are looking out there trying to come

304
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,440
in and compete with LJ.

305
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, just said, you know the twenty twenty three career,

306
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:51,480
you got Dion Smith, Aiden Robbins that were added in

307
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,919
twenty twenty two. I want to say, I'm trying to

308
00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:56,960
think of who you picked up in twenty.

309
00:13:56,759 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 3: Twenty two, but it was twenty two.

310
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: EnEx Nowahine Houston, Hamily, Chris Brooks.

311
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chris books him and then the year before that

312
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:11,440
was a Supa And why can I think of the

313
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:11,840
other guy that?

314
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:13,639
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah?

315
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 3: But yeah. So I do think it's mostly that those

316
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,080
years there was more availability, and so people saw it

317
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,919
out of the portal as like a hey, let's come

318
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,759
in and compete immediately, where having a competians LJ isn't

319
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,919
most I wouldn't saying most gause. A lot of the

320
00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:27,799
guys in the portal are going in for playing time

321
00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:29,679
and then to come and try and compete with with

322
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,320
l J would just I don't know if that suits.

323
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,679
What their what their goals are.

324
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: You got Devon Aka coming in from Lee High. I

325
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,600
don't know if you've got an eyes on Devon Aka

326
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,559
and whether or not he would be the guy, a

327
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:44,080
dude that you'd you'd buy into to be an RB

328
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,480
two RB three obviously, Shiny Moa and Jovesta de Mooney

329
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,559
they're gonna be the mixed Preston Rex as well. What

330
00:14:51,679 --> 00:14:55,799
about the s UU running back? It's not too far

331
00:14:55,879 --> 00:14:59,960
away hop skipping to jump away. He's got great straight

332
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,399
line speed and he was one of the most productive

333
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:05,960
running backs in college football this year, albeit at the

334
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,399
FCS level. I think he topped out at like twenty

335
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,759
three point seven miles per hours as fast as speed.

336
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,279
Joshua Die He's originally from Everett, Washington, runs a four

337
00:15:16,279 --> 00:15:19,799
to three nine and tallied one eight hundred and thirty

338
00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:24,440
one yards last season. And what was it? Uh? I

339
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,600
mean he rushed for a lot of touchdowns as well.

340
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:27,279
What do you make of that?

341
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would definitely, I would love to have him

342
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:32,480
come in. I think he's a he's a back that's

343
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:34,960
a different skill set than l Jencione, A little more

344
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,159
on the I think he's obviously way more proven than Jobasa,

345
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,200
but they run similar. They're more of that you know,

346
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,480
quick quick back. So I would love to get Die in.

347
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,240
And the fact that he hasn't signed anywhere yet, I

348
00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:46,399
think to a sign that maybe we're at least trying there.

349
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,279
But I haven't seen much, you know, smoke. I saw

350
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:50,960
it a lot run as it came out, but I

351
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,200
haven't seen anything recently. But I think it would be

352
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:55,960
It would be awesome to get die We'll.

353
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,279
Speaker 2: See how it plays out. Once again, remind Cougar fans

354
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,759
what they have going on at Odeon Men's Where, and

355
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:05,080
why should they come on into Odeon Men's Where to

356
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:11,240
uh get outfitted for suits, for dress shirts, belts, ties, slacks,

357
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,360
whatever it is that you guys have at your store.

358
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we we specialize and we do our you know,

359
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,360

00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:22,919
you look good, feel good so you can go out

361
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:24,960
and do good. And it's something that we really put

362
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,960
a ton of time into the product to be something

363
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,240
that looks amazing, but it still feels incredible. It's not

364
00:16:31,039 --> 00:16:33,600
you know, it's stretchy, it's it moves with you. It

365
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:35,279
does all the things that you needed to do. And

366
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,159
so the elevated suit and the Temple shirt are two

367
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,279
main products that do that that are made by us.

368
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,200
And I've said before and I'll say it again, if

369
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,840
you don't want to buy a new suit, don't try

370
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,440
to elevate on. But if you are in the in

371
00:16:46,559 --> 00:16:48,720
the market for a suit, please come in and try

it because you're gonna love it. It's an absolutely amazing

suit that looks incredible, but it still feels amazing. It's

374
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,399
super comfortable, and that's a it's a really good deal. Honestly,

375
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,159
that mart matsuit going for that similar suit, that's honestly,

376
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:05,799
I don't think looks as good. Those same types of

377
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:07,279
suits out of the market in the on the e

378
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,839
commerce world are like six seven hundred dollars. This one's

379
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,680
