36
00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:48,959
Speaker 4: How are you ben doing?

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: Awesome man? Springball? You know, this is a great time

38
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,079
of the year for me. I like looking at the future.

39
00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:57,280
I like looking at development. I want to see who

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,640
put in the work in the off season and the

41
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,640
way from January through through February and getting into March.

42
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,680
I got March mad news year. That's around the corner.

43
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:09,840
So all is well, Camp Killiney twenty twenty six, about

44
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:12,199
to kick off. What do you remember about springball? What

45
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,599
do you recall about what the the the the storylines

46
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:17,879
were when you were in springball.

47
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: Well, for me, my first year, you know, I had

48
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,759
to sit out a here and so fall I couldn't participate.

49
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:30,080
So my first spring was you know, six six or

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,840
seven months after I had transferred to the y and

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,759
so I mean it was a below the belt check time,

52
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:43,840
we'll call it for me. So I had to impress

53
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,560
and try it, not just to make the team. But

54
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:51,280
I came in Walsh was a freshman. I came in

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,360
as my first year after my red shirt year and

56
00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:59,439
at UT having me sit out in that year, so

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,199
essentially sitting out two years. This was my first opportunity

58
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,199
to play basically in between the lines since I had

59
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,120
started high school a couple of years before that, so

60
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:14,360
it had been a while since, you know, I got

61
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,599
to throw against real competition. Even though the spring practice

62
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,840
like it was, it was, it was check time for me.

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,919
So my first year obviously was quite nervous and then

64
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:32,599
after that, Wallston established himself as a starter. So spring

65
00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:36,199
was just fine tuning things obviously for the coaching staff.

66
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,879
And where you're going with this is there to answer

67
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:45,759
some questions. And we got some questions to answer on

68
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:50,439
both sides of all and not just the starters, but

69
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,360
your depth chart. You get that handled, you get that

70
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,000
squared away. But then on the defensive side, k Pop

71
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,439
and his first experience in the defense, coordinated defense. Now,

72
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:05,439
I don't think there's gonna be a problem because he's

73
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:12,360
got Colonnie and coach Anderson to lean on. But that's

74
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,360
what spring is. I mean, there's two seasons and sports.

75
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,360
For me, it's spring football and fall football. And this

76
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:21,399
is the first season, uh where we get a look

77
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:26,319
at filling in the gaps, securing the holes that we

78
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:29,000
might have transfers. How are they going to come in?

79
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,439
You know, as a kid from Oregon, you get to

80
00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:34,079
pan it out with injuries and you know, he looks

81
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,519
the part well, he is he to part, you know,

82
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,160
and those type of kids that you have the questions

83
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,720
with the freshman and coming in getting to know the

84
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:44,560
system and how quick are they going to be able

85
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,480
to uh, you know, get the system and feel comfortable

86
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,800
playing in a system for the first time since high

87
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,199
school is completely different. College is a different animal. So

88
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:58,120
I'm excited.

89
00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:01,519
Speaker 3: It is a great time to be to Cougar b

90
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,839
YU coming off at twelve eleven and two and then

91
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,839
a twelve and two season, a lot of positive momentum

92
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,240
heading into spring. One of the things I asked k

93
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:11,439
Pop in my interview with him recently, I'm like, hey,

94
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:14,160
how do you how do you keep this team humble?

95
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,160
We have seen in the past when b YU has

96
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,680
two consecutive great seasons, Uh that they there's a little

97
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,879
bit of a drop off, right they there's a little

98
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:26,240
bit of a pride cycle. How can you you stay

99
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,600
the course, stay humble, stay hungry. What are your thoughts

100
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,639
on that? How do you keep a team focused on

101
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,519
the task at hand and working daily to be great

102
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,519
rather than relying on the pass to determine their their

103
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,639
their their mindset.

104
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 4: Well, I think you always, I think is the coaching staff.

105
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,639
You got to rely on your your older players, your

106
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:50,680
more experienced players to you know, get that across to

107
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,600
your team. So Clanne is going to rely on your

108
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,480
Bruce Mitchell's and your Isaiah Laskers and even Bear even

109
00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:01,160
though he's now just only a sophomore.

110
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: You're l J.

111
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:10,399
Speaker 4: Martin's, you know, Evan Johnson's, those guys that have been

112
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:15,920
in the system and have gone through, yeah, two successful seasons,

113
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
but they understand there's you know, we got to replace

114
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:22,639
a Tanner Wall, We've got to replace a p K

115
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:29,839
and Roberts. So I think there's enough gaps and holds

116
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:38,199
the field to keep the guys really focused on. Okay,

117
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,600
the past of the past, it's what have you done

118
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,160
for me lately. We've got some questions we need to

119
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:45,560
answer in the spring and a little bit of fall

120
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:49,000
camp to get to where we want to be the

121
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:55,879
last two years. So with that being said, you know

122
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:59,879
it's going to be based on the leadership, and I

123
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,720
think we're fine in that category. I don't have any

124
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:09,600
issues with us thinking we're content or we're just like

125
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:14,439
last year or the year before. Now. The trains just

126
00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:17,759
to continue to roll, so instead of I think we've

127
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:21,560
gotten to a point and b AU Football where enough

128
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,000
of the rebuilding. We just reload now. And because the

129
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,759
expectations last two years will continue to be the same expectations,

130
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:35,439
and good on us so and good on Klawonne for

131
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:38,959
being I mean, he's got the third most wins, dude

132
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:46,319
since twenty twenty in college football. Yep, and so like that.

133
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,800
That's that's that's a lot. It's a lot of pressure.

134
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:54,639
But so what like good, bring the pressure on. That's

135
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,240
that's what we're going to be used to now.

136
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: And so.

137
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:02,279
Speaker 4: I feel good about this year and continuing to feel

138
00:08:02,279 --> 00:08:05,600
good about BYU football as a whole. Bull short term

139
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,360
and long term.

140
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,079
Speaker 3: Let's start quarterback two battle here for a moment. That's

141
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:12,680
one of the intriguing storylines I'm gonna be taking a long,

142
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,480
hard look at throughout spring. We know Bear Bachmeier is

143
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,399
he's the better throwing freaking Tim Tebow. That's what you

144
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:22,279
told us once upon a time, and it has come

145
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:25,680
to fruish my friend. So hey, we could have a

146
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,279
little bit of a Heisman Trophy candidacy if all things

147
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,279
go well this year, right if we don't, if we

148
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:34,360
want to really get Utah fans angry at us, we'll

149
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,240
talk about that and get some quotes from you. But

150
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,919
who's your favorite to win it right now? QB two

151
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:48,360
Trayson Borge or Goldie Enick Watson out of American Leadership academy.

152
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:55,399
Speaker 4: Only because I haven't seen Enick play or practice, and

153
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,080
I've seen Trason. Not only have I seen Trason, but

154
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:04,080
or as an affectionate call Bobby Bouche, I've seen him,

155
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,679
and he's been in the system. He knows the system,

156
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,799
he knows the offense. He's gonna be a senior. I

157
00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:13,679
know he has the back of the locker room. So

158
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,240
just by default, I would say Trac right now today, yep,

159
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:24,080
But again that spring things happen, right the depth chart

160
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,679
is being tried to be formed, maybe there's a splash,

161
00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:32,440
maybe Enoch comes out and just like starts killing it right,

162
00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:37,879
and so yeah, he's gonna be in the mix. But

163
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,879
we yes, obviously we have QB one, but QB two

164
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,759
is a very famous on a famous name on campus.

165
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,039
When you have somebody like Bear, everybody goes, okay, what

166
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,360
if dot dot dot and right now today, just based

167
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:01,200
on experience and knowing the system and knowing the program

168
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,279
and having the locker room behind him, I'd have to

169
00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:06,879
go with Trason.

170
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, you know, I think Enix got plenty

171
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:17,759
of talent, plenty of dual threat capability as well. He

172
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,879
did get home from the mission I want to say

173
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:23,440
back in October, so he's uh, you know, he may

174
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,360
be more competitive than I think some are believing, but

175
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:30,960
Trason definitely has the tenure, uh, and definitely the experience.

176
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,679
RB two. Who's your favorite to be? RB two? Shioni,

177
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:37,600
Mala Joe Vesa de MOONI Is it Devon Eka or

178
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:40,519
Logan Pain or Preston Rex? Who you gotten? Why?

179
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:49,879
Speaker 4: I think? I think right now today it's probably sionis

180
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:57,440
number two, but right on his heels is Eka as Devon. Uh,

181
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:01,399
he's a true freshman, but he's the early enroll lye.

182
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,720
I know he's been on campus. I know he's bulked

183
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:08,360
up to about almost two hundred pounds now. When he

184
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:11,320
got to school he was at one point eighty two.

185
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:17,519
And I know there's been discussions about how to get

186
00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:21,360
him inserted, not just in the lineup, but getting in touches.

187
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,080
So he's already making an impact in the weight room

188
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,080
before springball even starts today with the coaching staff. And

189
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,600
you know, I have it'smate knowledge about him because I

190
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:37,679
coached him the last couple of years at LEI. And

191
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,799
not only he's a great kid, but he's he's gonna

192
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:48,200
be the RB room is set like we're good, Like

193
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:53,200
we're more than good with LJA, which you're top returning

194
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,480
running back in the entire nation, not just in the

195
00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:59,519
Big twelve Conference. But I'd throw his name in the

196
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:06,200
hat Heisen Trophy candidate, And yeah, eventually number forty seven

197
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,879
is gonna come up to really.

198
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,159
Speaker 3: So you know, look, what type of hyper are we

199
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,879
going to be given Bear Blachmeyer heading into twenty twenty six?

200
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,720
What expectations should we have for Bear in twenty twenty six?

201
00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 4: Well, I think he's gonna throw for another one thousand

202
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,879
yards more than he did last year, which he's up

203
00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:29,720
and around four thousand, meaning this year he rushed for

204
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:32,799
what five hundred or so? I think he rushed for

205
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:38,000
about seven hundred and what I mean, his QBR rating

206
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,639
is the same as ars Mannings, his passer rating is

207
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,559
the same as ars Mannings. Well, he's the odds on

208
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,679
favorite right now, and yes, Manning and he's got the hype,

209
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,159
and yes, he's a very good player. But I mean,

210
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,320
if you take, if you're stat guy, you look at

211
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,000
those stats and you're like, hmm, there's not much difference

212
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,440
between the odds on favorite and our guy in provo

213
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,720
So why the heck not? Why just because it's b yu,

214
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:14,360
I mean that would be are Yeah, of course I'm

215
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,840
a homeom, Yes i am. But I've also seen and

216
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,279
know that position also as well. And uh yeah, heck yeah,

217
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:25,120
why why not?

218
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: Right?

219
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: The hype is real from Steve Clebs regunning up there

220
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,080
Bachmeier and uh, look to me, I think the biggest

221
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,879
storyline though in fault camp, excuse me, in spring ball

222
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:39,759
is taking a long hard look at this defense. You

223
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:42,360
seem pretty confident that k Pok can step in field

224
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,039
the shoes of Jay Hill is a is a play caller,

225
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,360
and uh, what do you but what do you make

226
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:50,639
about the secondary? You know, Gennaro's gone. Jay Hill was

227
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,720
coaching the safety safeties to Mario Warren coaching up the

228
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,799
safeties and then Lewis Clark coaching up the corners. Do

229
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,879
you think there's any drop off there? You're optimistic about

230
00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:01,039
the secondary as well.

231
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 4: No, there's not gonna be a drop off when you

232
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,720
when your head coaches was considered one of the best,

233
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,720
if not the best, defensive coordinators in the nation when

234
00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:14,360
he was calling it at at the U and then

235
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,519
Oregon State, Like, I don't understand why they would be

236
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,440
a drop off because if that's your foundation, if coach

237
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,320
Kline Sataki is your foundation, and then you have a

238
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,879
guy with coach Anderson with the experience that he had,

239
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:36,320
and those two dudes with Kate Bob Young enthusiastic learning

240
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:41,279
under Jay the last couple of years. I'm not worried

241
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:46,360
about that, and so they The thing about it is

242
00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:49,320
because they have so much experience, it's now to the

243
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,759
point to where whatever you have in the pantry is

244
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,960
they can form a defense around what's the talent that

245
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,840
you have. And I think we're going to be actually

246
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,240
you for talented, maybe even a little bit more so

247
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,080
this year than last year with the returners that we

248
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:08,399
have coming back. Yeah, we've got a couple holes a field,

249
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,600
but schematics will allow us even if we have a

250
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:17,840
weakness to cover up that weakness defensively. It's hard to

251
00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:23,600
cover up a weakness offensively. But again, that's what you

252
00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:28,200
have spring football for too. In Paul Camp to see

253
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:32,519
place here versus this defense and this coverage. Can we

254
00:15:32,559 --> 00:15:36,120
go more man? Do we have to go more zone?

255
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,759
I'm not worried about whether it's coaching or schematics or

256
00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:44,000
the talent level that we'll have on Devens side.

257
00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: Of the level, Steve, there's going to be a number

258
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,360
of newcomers on the roster, transfer portal players, true freshmen

259
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,480
coming in return missionaries. Is there a newcomer that you're

260
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:58,480
most intrigued by that you're excited to get eyes on,

261
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:01,159
size up and see how they move on the football

262
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,320
field for spring ball?

263
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: Well, I think the kid from Oregon. Yeah, yeah, yes,

264
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:20,679
thank you, because of the it's not a dire need,

265
00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:24,600
but kind of his receiver. I mean, if I say, well,

266
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:27,440
Bear's gonna throw for four thousand yards, well freaking he

267
00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:29,960
better be throwing it to some some cats out there

268
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:34,960
right that can do it. And so there's that, at

269
00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:37,360
least on the offensive side of the ball. I think

270
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:41,679
Kyler has a lot of frusture, poor kid coming in

271
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:45,320
from Oregon and and that kind of being having some

272
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,919
injuries in the last couple of years and so but

273
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:52,559
in that spot, dude, like we need some dudes. But

274
00:16:53,039 --> 00:16:57,879
outside of him, Legend Glaster I think has the potential

275
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,399
there I go off again, and to be a top receiver,

276
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:08,440
a top five receiver in BYU history. I really do.

277
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:14,799
I love that he's going to be one to where

278
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,839
I'm gonna be watching quite close is how he transitions

279
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:25,759
from high school to the college ranks. In that position,

280
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,839
I think he makes an impact early on kickoff return

281
00:17:31,599 --> 00:17:35,480
in special teams, and once he gets the knowledge of

282
00:17:35,519 --> 00:17:40,079
the offense and the playbook down, he finds himself rotating

283
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,000
in at receiver and I think by the end of

284
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,440
the year, you know, allowing if he's healthy, he's going

285
00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:53,440
to be in the starting rotation and you'll see a

286
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,960
lot of Legend for the next three or four years.

287
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:02,559
Speaker 3: Legend Glasgow. He did test out, I've been told in

288
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,200
the offseason on the offense side of the ball. You know,

289
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,160
it's one of the fastest guys on the football field,

290
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,160
which I thought that was pretty crazy, coming as a

291
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,960
true freshman being one of the fastest guys on the team.

292
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: Well, but pound for pound he might be the strongest

293
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,039
on the team too. Was seventy but he is. He

294
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,319
is stronger than you think. And he tested out almost

295
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,359
I can't remember what he squatted, but it was it's like,

296
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,680
wait a minute, you're doing almost three times your body

297
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,400
weight and squads like it's insane. Because you look at him,

298
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,599
You're like, oh, that dude's not great. Oh no, no, no,

299
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:43,960
he's uh well, we call it country strong. There's another

300
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,200
word in front of the strong that we use that

301
00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:49,480
I can't stay on the air, but we'll say he's

302
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,119
a country strong dude.

303
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: I love it. Man Steve Klevit's former v ER quarterback

304
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,799
talking some camp Koalani twenty twenty six. Spring ball kicks

305
00:18:58,839 --> 00:19:00,880
off today, ladies and gener we're gonna be down there

306
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,559
covering it, getting eyes on this team, interviewing players and coaches.

307
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,799
Steve Klements discussing what he's excited to see, who he's

308
00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:11,359
watching for. And you know there's other wide receivers, a

309
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,920
lot of these guys. I was talking with Hammer time yesterday.

310
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,519
We were talking with Ronnie and they're all looking at

311
00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:21,319
the wide receiver room. You mentioned Kyler Casper, you mentioned

312
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:27,160
legend Glasger, and there's Cody Hagen and obviously Jojo Phillips

313
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:31,519
is a guy that could be a wide receiver one type,

314
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:38,400
Reggie Friscannect. There's some big bodies on this roster and

315
00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:41,160
it kind of reminds me of the era of like

316
00:19:41,279 --> 00:19:46,799
Cody Hoffman, Rossoppo, Mitch Matthews, Tarren Howk. There was a

317
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:51,400
lot of big, strong, not necessarily the fastest wide receivers,

318
00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:56,720
but could always body up wide receivers and linebackers. Excuse me,

319
00:19:56,759 --> 00:20:00,200
they can always body up cornerback safeties and linebackers with

320
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,200
that great catching radius. I wonder if we're gonna see

321
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,119
a bit of that, especially with how well Bear Bachmeier

322
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:08,039
throws the intermediate pass game.

323
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna We're gonna have to. That's I mean,

324
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:16,440
that's what we have. I think, you know, because Higgins

325
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,599
can run, obviously, Lesing can run. Jaron Pool is another

326
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,680
one that's a big body kid. I'm not sure if

327
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,839
his speed. Because you're gonna have to be able to

328
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,599
stretch down the field. Now do you have to be

329
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,039
four four four or five to do that? No, but

330
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,759
you have to have a threat in which to do

331
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:40,960
that to have a successful passing game, where I think

332
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,880
in Texas Tech we did not do. We threw the

333
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,839
ball over twenty five yards. I believe one time got

334
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:53,480
a p I against Chase. So no, you don't have

335
00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:57,359
to be super speedy to stretch vertically the defense and

336
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,200
allow those you know, dbs to at least force to

337
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,119
backpedal a little bit quicker than they want. To but

338
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,640
you've got to have a dude down there to stretch

339
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,599
the field, and that opens up the intermediate in the

340
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,480
short game and getting into lj out of the backfield,

341
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,880
and you know the Lions kid or Sally Apoga I

342
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:25,039
think that I pronounce his name, Yeah, yeah, Sali Page.

343
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,839
You know, they're in the middle, and so I think

344
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,880
eventually we're gonna have plenty of weapons. Spring allows Jojo

345
00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:38,759
and Cody Hagen to master and really refine their crafts,

346
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,559
and then you know the cast for kid and get

347
00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:47,519
the timing down with forty seven. But yeah, you're gonna

348
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:51,920
see that same type of body type and big body

349
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,640
or they can go up against the safeties and maybe

350
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,920
the outside backers and do some damage. Where Parker really

351
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,480
kills this is you know, that short slot quick Wes

352
00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:12,519
Welker type kid that I'm not sure. I don't know

353
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:16,119
if Haigen's that way or not. I don't know if

354
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,559
we have somebody like that on the riser. Maybe that's Tiger,

355
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,359
that could be Tiger. You really need somebody like that

356
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,440
as a change up to if you're gonna have these

357
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,119
big body receivers on the outside and a tight end

358
00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:34,160
as well, you got to have some dude that can

359
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:40,240
create some separation, whether it's horizontally and or vertically, and

360
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,000
so that'll be a big question mark certainly.

361
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: Do you think Bear's gonna show an increase in arm

362
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:49,880
strength and velocity of the football this season? Do you

363
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,039
think he? You know, how much progress can you make

364
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,480
in arm strength? You know these are grown men now,

365
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,960
I mean he's a young quarterback, but like, how much

366
00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:02,920
increase in velocity and arm can a quarterback game in

367
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,960
an off season?

368
00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 4: In your opinion, I think you can make some. I

369
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:10,799
think you can make strides to you know, putting a

370
00:23:10,839 --> 00:23:15,079
couple of yards on your arm strength or having it

371
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,200
come out with a little bit more velocity and a

372
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,079
little bit more pop. But for him, I think the

373
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,839
most important thing is going to be just pinpoint accuracy.

374
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:32,680
Instead of you know, aiming medium and missing medium, it's

375
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:35,880
aiming small and missing small. And so I think I

376
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:41,000
think his accuracy becomes way more important in year two

377
00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:45,599
and and you're timing with new guys. I mean, he

378
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:51,480
didn't get much timing with Hagen, probably more so with

379
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,960
Jojo than the others because he played a little bit

380
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,119
more than Cody did. But he has hardly any established

381
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:04,039
timing with these other guys. I mean we were so

382
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,559
good back in the day. I mean we had guys

383
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:10,400
Eric Dredge. They couldn't run out of their own shadow,

384
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:14,319
but they knew how to run routes, and they were

385
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,680
precision routes and there were attention to detail because we were

386
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,519
coached that and all our routes with their are running

387
00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:27,000
back or excuse me, our receivers, the quarterbacks was all timing.

388
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,000
So ty Damer had he didn't have very good armstring,

389
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:37,039
but he understood defenses, he understood his own personnel and

390
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,480
the timing. Yeah, he might have to let go of

391
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:42,400
the ball a little bit earlier than somebody like John

392
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,480
Walsh or you know those guys that could just you know,

393
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:50,519
Aaron Rodgers or somebody like that. They can just throw

394
00:24:50,559 --> 00:24:55,119
it through a brick wall with no problem. Understanding that

395
00:24:55,599 --> 00:24:59,119
your own talent and then your timing with your receivers.

396
00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: That's where you.

397
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 4: Get the most out of spring football with these guys.

398
00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:07,240
So there's a lot of work to be done, but

399
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:10,400
it's gonna be more I think on the accuracy side

400
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,960
and the timing side with these young dudes or inexperience

401
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,200
having bear not thrown to these guys. That's gonna be

402
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,200
the biggest thing, and it's not gonna be so much

403
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:24,720
the two hours in spring football. It's the two hours

404
00:25:24,759 --> 00:25:27,079
before and the two hours after and the work on

405
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,119
the weekends that's gonna get them to another level.

406

Speaker 1: Oh? Everything's great. Man. You know, we got four kids

468
00:28:39,759 --> 00:28:42,160
running around, trying to keep them under control and uh,

469
00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:45,319
you know, trying to help as many athletes and motivated

470
00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:48,880
adults as we can stay you know, healthy and develop

471
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,480
that skill in basketball area. We love that and always

472
00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:53,519
have and always will. But it's been good.

473
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 4: It's been a lot of fun.

474
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: Love it man, Glad you're doing well. Uh. This BU

475
00:28:58,039 --> 00:29:01,480
basketball team, it's hard to diagnose, it's hard to treat.

476
00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:04,160
What would the doctors say about this basketball team? What

477
00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:05,359
ails it? Uh?

478
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: What?

479
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,119
Speaker 3: What is it good at? What do we need to remedy?

480
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,359
What's going on? Where are the muscle you know, imbalances

481
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:12,559
and insufficiencies?

482
00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:16,559
Speaker 1: What do we gotta address here from a basketball perspective? Okay, Yeah,

483
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,200
So it's it's interesting you say that because I get

484
00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:23,720
it's really it's kind of hard to read sometimes right,

485
00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:26,240
because of you get a game like Iowa State where

486
00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:29,960
they play, you know, arguably their best game of the year,

487
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,039
and then we you know, drop a goose egg against

488
00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:36,759
UCS and I get it like they're you know, they've

489
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:38,640
gone through their ups and downs this year with their

490
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,960
fair share of injuries and two key key guys, and

491
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,759
you know that that does make its challenging, you know,

492
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,920
to adapt to let alone, they have so few guys

493
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,440
that came from last year, so the continuity, right, I mean,

494
00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:54,559
it's just a new group overall being together and then

495
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,759
having to lose some key guys. It's just tough to

496
00:29:57,279 --> 00:29:59,240
figure out. Now some of the things that I think

497
00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:02,720
these guys do the best. I mean, they're they're athletically gifted.

498
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,759
I honestly think that they're athletically gifted. You look at

499
00:30:05,759 --> 00:30:10,960
guys like Rob Wright, AJ you look at I mean

500
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:14,480
Richie until obviously he went down, great athlete in himself.

501
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,039
You've got just athletes all around the floor that are long,

502
00:30:18,119 --> 00:30:20,480
I mean Boskovich, You've got You've got Boop, I mean,

503
00:30:20,559 --> 00:30:23,519
guys are long. Keta's as athletic as they come. So

504
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,599
that athleticism is is there, you know, And the hard

505
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,799
part is I feel like at times, I don't want

506
00:30:32,839 --> 00:30:34,720
to say that there's not a lot there's a lack

507
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:37,519
of effort, but I feel like with that kind of athleticism,

508
00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:39,400
there should be a lot more that we can get

509
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,119
done on the defensive end, which unfortunately I haven't seen yet.

510
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,559
But the good news is that I think we're capable

511
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,319
of it. So, you know, fine tuning that I think

512
00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:51,359
would be interesting, uh and could take us to that

513
00:30:51,519 --> 00:30:54,240
next level. So you know, I'm not going to tell

514
00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:56,440
somebody that it's a lack of effort. I just think

515
00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:59,079
maybe there's some urgency that needs to be there, and

516
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,079
we've talked about it. You know, I think all your

517
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,759
long at Cougar fans that first half, you know, that

518
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,680
that sense of urgency coming out and you know, hitting

519
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,839
somebody in the mouth, letting them know you're there. I

520
00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:13,240
don't know, those are the things that come to my

521
00:31:13,319 --> 00:31:14,599
mind when I think about this team.

522
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, it is hard to diagnose, it is

523
00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:20,680
hard to treat. Uh, it's uh. It's the jeckal and

524
00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:23,799
hide the peak, the Valley. The peak is Iowa State.

525
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,240
The next game, it was the Valley versus U Seef

526
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,200
man the worst performance.

527
00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:33,039
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yeah, definitely.

528
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 3: So how do you how does this team find its identity? Look,

529
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,480
Aj staid in the post game, He's like, look, we're

530
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,319
going to be fineing Mark, are you buying or selling

531
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,559
They're going to be fine in March.

532
00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 4: I'm buying it.

533
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,799
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, if you've got guys as good and

534
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,240
as talented as Aj and robright, r uh, you can.

535
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,240
I mean, it's a one, one game at a time tournament, right,

536
00:31:56,279 --> 00:31:58,160
It's a it's not a best of three, best of five,

537
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,680
best of seven. You just got to win one and

538
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:03,960
then survive in advance, and that's all that's all you need.

539
00:32:04,279 --> 00:32:07,400
And when you've got guards that are capable of playing

540
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,880
to the level that Rob and Aj are capable of,

541
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,720
I'm buying, I think, and you know hearing. You know,

542
00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:16,039
Aj is a confident player and I love that about him.

543
00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:18,559
And so when the when the lights shine the brightest,

544
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,880
I feel like he's gonna be able to perform really well,

545
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,839
and that leadership from him hopefully spills through the rest

546
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,400
of the team as well, so they can kind of

547
00:32:26,519 --> 00:32:29,359
rise to the occasion when those brightest lights are shining

548
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:29,680
on him.

549
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,839
Speaker 3: So I'm buying so ceiling and floor for this team.

550
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,720
Do you think what is it?

551
00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: I mean ceiling is I mean, is a national championship

552
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:39,640
on it?

553
00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:40,119
Speaker 3: Still?

554
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: Still absolutely absolutely, I mean as as hard as it

555
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:47,839
may be to believe and feel with Richie gone, and

556
00:32:48,039 --> 00:32:50,720
obviously we've been dealing without Dawson for for you know,

557
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:54,279
throughout the season. When you've got a guy like AJ,

558
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,000
who's gonna be he's the next generation talent, that is hard.

559
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,119
I mean, guys like don't remember in the past to

560
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,440
have as much as AJ has personally, I believe. And

561
00:33:05,519 --> 00:33:08,160
then you've got a point guard like Rob who who

562
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:11,039
has the ability to be a top, if not the

563
00:33:11,319 --> 00:33:14,680
best point guard in America. When you have guys like

564
00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:18,119
that and you enter a tournament like March Madness, I mean,

565
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,799
we've seen crazier things happen. I don't think it's it's

566
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,200
by any you know, there's there's no reason why these

567
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,759
guys couldn't go that far. And again I see them

568
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,000
going into the tournament depending on how they do in

569
00:33:32,119 --> 00:33:37,160
the Big twelve tournament, you know, anywhere from a seven six, uh,

570
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,680
and if they make a run win the Big twelve tournament,

571
00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:42,559
who knows. I mean a four potentially maybe even even

572
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,680
a little better. So with that being said, I do

573
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,960
think that the ceiling is the national championship. Still, We've

574
00:33:51,039 --> 00:33:52,799
got a lot of things to figure out over the

575
00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:55,440
next three regular season games and into the Big twelve tournament,

576
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,200
that's for sure. And if we can do that defensively

577
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:02,279
and figure out out I don't see why that can't

578
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:04,680
be the case, and then you know we're gonna get

579
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,599
into the tournament. The floor, anyone's floor going into this

580
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,880
tournament is to lose in the first round. You know,

581
00:34:11,039 --> 00:34:14,039
Purdue against the sixteen seed. It's it's just the most

582
00:34:14,079 --> 00:34:17,159
beautiful tournament in America because anything can happen, no.

583
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 3: Doubt about it. Do sometimes do you envision yourself what

584
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,119
you would be doing on this team, Like how you'd

585
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:25,119
be like weaving, you know, into the corner, you know,

586
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,920
like what role you could play on this team? We

587
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,280
could use the Skylar Alford right now. All I'm saying

588
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,199
to a CD and three point shots.

589
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,639
Speaker 1: I mean, we do need some three point shooting. I

590
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,960
will say that, and I would just I mean, I'm hopeful.

591
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:43,880
I've been hopeful from the beginning. With Alexei Kostitch, He's

592
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,320
a guy that I've just been hoping can fill that

593
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,000
role somehow. I mean, he was four for nine from

594
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:52,599
three at the last game I've watched, where previously he

595
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:53,800
had six threes.

596
00:34:53,559 --> 00:34:54,559
Speaker 2: In a game or five.

597
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: I might be mistaken there, but like he has the

598
00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:00,840
ability to be that guy that can raw more attention

599
00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:01,400
to him.

600
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:02,039
Speaker 4: Uh.

601
00:35:02,199 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a little undersized, so is Tyler Mruss. Right,

602
00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:07,559
those are the two guys that have to be able

603
00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:09,599
to fill that role that I think are most capable

604
00:35:09,679 --> 00:35:12,440
of it. I think Boskovic at times can show it,

605
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,760
but just with like the shooting mechanics that I've watched

606
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,360
from those players, I think the most capable ones to

607
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,519
be consistent are you know, from Russ and Kostitch. And

608
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:25,800
we're gonna need those type of role players, you know,

609
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:27,679
in the Big Twelve the rest of the season, in

610
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,920
the Big Twelve tournament into March to be able to

611
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,199
help us win some crucial games. So I really hope

612
00:35:33,199 --> 00:35:35,119
that they can fulfill that role. I noticed they go to,

613
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,800
you know that zone, which is what they used to

614
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,039
do when I played, because I was undersized and wasn't

615
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,199
able to pick up you know, players defensively one on one,

616
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,920
so sometimes you got to go to that zone to

617
00:35:44,679 --> 00:35:46,239
you know, help manipulate that a little bit. And I

618
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,599
don't know if we've played a lot of zone this

619
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,079
year because Costitch and Russ haven't played as much. So

620
00:35:51,199 --> 00:35:53,320
maybe getting a little bit better at that zone, finding

621
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,639
ways to get those guys integrated could help help us.

622
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,599
So hopefully they can fulfill that role that I think

623
00:35:58,639 --> 00:35:59,159
we do need.

624
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 3: All Right, I got a tough question for you. I'll

625
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,639
be honest, I've never seen this many injuries on a

626
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,079
basketball team, Skyler. I've never seen this many injuries. This

627
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,679
is like, like I begin to wonder, Okay, when there's

628
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,440
this many injuries, like, hey, are these freak accidents or

629
00:36:17,559 --> 00:36:24,679
is there something with sn C, nutrition, rest, biomechanics, what

630
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,360
we're doing as far as potentiation prior to tip off?

631
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,760
Like what are you seeing? Man? There's been some like

632
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,599
kind of sort of contact, but it's really more non

633
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:39,400
contact like jump stop jumps plant. You know, we got

634
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,280
a vougus, you know, stress on on Richie. That's a

635
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,599
movement he's done thousands, hundreds of thousands of times, you know,

636
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,559
probably in his young adulthood. You know, Dawson's was kind

637
00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:51,519
of unique he kind of got a little bit of

638
00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:54,519
a body and then tweaked, what are you seeing, man,

639
00:36:54,559 --> 00:36:58,199
Brody Koslowski's out, Xavian Staaten's out. I know you don't

640
00:36:58,199 --> 00:37:02,079
have all the details on the injuries, but what's what's

641
00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:03,880
a rye here? What have you seen so far that

642
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,400
you're like, is there an issue? Is there not an issue?

643
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's it's reasonable to I mean,

644
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,000
people are gonna naturally raise concerns, but honestly, I mean

645
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,320
I was just recently looking over actually a bunch of

646
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,840
ACL studies, systematic reviews and things on just ACL risk factors,

647
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,199
and to be honest, Ben, it's really you know, research

648
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,880
suggests that like it's not caused by one major flaw.

649
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:33,599
I mean, it's usually stacking small risk factors, like there's

650
00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:37,239
a flight a symmetry here, there's some extra fatigue, workload,

651
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,599
movement mechanics can be off. And I mean a team

652
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,000
like BYU, at the highest level that they are, I've

653
00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:44,599
been inside the facilities. I've seen what they've got. They've

654
00:37:44,599 --> 00:37:48,760
got high level you know, upper I mean NBA level class,

655
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,519
you know, professionals in there helping with these types of things.

656
00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:53,760
And I don't doubt that they're doing a fantastic job.

657
00:37:54,159 --> 00:37:55,960
I mean, in one of the studies I was looking at,

658
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,400
in particular, the very first line of the study says

659
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,760
that its as basketball players are a high risk group

660
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,920
for antier cruciate ligament injuries. And that's just the nature

661
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,159
of it. No matter what you do, I mean, you

662
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,079
can I do believe that they're The more we do,

663
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,760
the more we preemptively, like are trying to identify risk factors,

664
00:38:17,159 --> 00:38:20,719
treat risk factors, You're gonna have a better chance of

665
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:24,480
not having injury. You know, people talk about injury prevention

666
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,920
that that is just not even I don't even know

667
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,360
why we even say that. I mean, I get it,

668
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,880
but like there's no such thing as injury prevention in

669
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,639
high risk sports like basketball. There's just no such thing.

670
00:38:36,119 --> 00:38:39,320
And it's injury reduction. We're just trying to reduce the

671
00:38:39,559 --> 00:38:42,760
chances of having an injury. And by yes, working on

672
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,880
a symmetry's monitoring workload. I mean I remember going to

673
00:38:48,039 --> 00:38:51,039
a pre practice, you know, as an alumni, watching these guys,

674
00:38:51,119 --> 00:38:53,760
and they handed out that these sheets that had like

675
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,639
how much workload each individual player had, like by to

676
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,599
the decimal point, and like I mean there's tracking all

677
00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:04,239
these things. It's a high level institution. They do an

678
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,599
amazing job. It's just, yeah, we have gotten bit by

679
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,960
that bug this year, and I can't say what it's

680
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,880
exactly attributed to. I mean, I would love to get

681
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,760
in there and and like just do my own research

682
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,000
and stuff, just because I love this stuff, and I

683
00:39:18,079 --> 00:39:23,360
love BYU's program because yeah, it's it's very interesting. But again,

684
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,199
like I said, it's not one major flaw. It's not

685
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,280
one major thing. And yeah, most most of these acls anyways,

686
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,679
I mean I was looking at articles of NBA players

687
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,119
like they did studies over you know, beyond a decade

688
00:39:36,159 --> 00:39:39,440
of time, where they're looking at video analysis and and

689
00:39:39,559 --> 00:39:42,239
most of them are these non contact injuries or where

690
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,119
they're getting bumped in the air and they land on

691
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:46,159
a single leg and then you know they get that

692
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,320
force that's just too much for the need to handle.

693
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,199
And there's just so many contributing factors. You can't just

694
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,079
point to one thing, so I might not address it

695
00:39:54,199 --> 00:39:56,599
the way you wanted to answer that question to be answered.

696
00:39:56,679 --> 00:39:59,360
But that's just kind of like what I'm seeing. I

697
00:39:59,639 --> 00:40:01,639
would love to go. I mean, there's you know, quad

698
00:40:01,679 --> 00:40:05,599
hamstring ratio. There's seeing biomechanically how these players move with

699
00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:08,800
video analysis, and I'm sure there's some really cool stuff

700
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,559
and technology that BYU has that I would be loved,

701
00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:14,199
I would love to even just learn about and learn from.

702
00:40:14,519 --> 00:40:16,719
But I'm sure they have those things and they're addressing them.

703
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,480
It's just it's super unfortunate in sports that sometimes those

704
00:40:20,519 --> 00:40:23,559
things just happen. If I were to say one other

705
00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:27,039
thing about that, Ben, I think what we don't maybe

706
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:29,360
talk about, or actually has been talked about to an extent,

707
00:40:29,559 --> 00:40:33,519
is how much basketball is being played, how much basketball

708
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,840
games are being played, tournaments are being played while these

709
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,000
kids are growing up, you know, like the mileage and

710
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:42,960
how much mileage they're putting on their bodies, to the

711
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,679
point where when they get to college, when they get

712
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,559
to pros, we're seeing definitely an increase in these injuries

713
00:40:48,639 --> 00:40:51,239
from before. And you know, there is a question of

714
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,480
like how much sports should these youth be playing, how

715
00:40:54,519 --> 00:40:56,800
many games should they be playing, versus like how much

716
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,719
more do they need to be focusing on their bodies

717
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,880
at a younger age to help prevent some of these

718
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,719
you know, workload spikes and issues. But that's another question.

719
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,360
I don't have the answer for it, but it is

720
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,079
something that I think has been brought up in the

721
00:41:13,199 --> 00:41:16,079
past about youth sports in general that I think continually

722
00:41:16,159 --> 00:41:19,480
we all as healthcare professionals want to try and identify

723
00:41:19,559 --> 00:41:22,639
ways to help so that we don't have these kids

724
00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:26,719
getting to these moments in high school, college, and professional

725
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,880
sports where their careers ultimately can come to an end

726
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,440
because of some serious injuries that maybe could have been

727
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,159
avoided had they learned how to take care of their

728
00:41:34,199 --> 00:41:37,039
bodies earlier on. So anyways, I'm passionate about this stuff, Ben,

729
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:39,079
don't keep me going. I'll be on here. Your show

730
00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:39,880
will go overtime.

731
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: No, Well, now I have to follow up because I

732
00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:44,480
had this this same conversation. Look, I got young kids,

733
00:41:44,519 --> 00:41:48,079
so I'm pretty far away from specialization. I'm pretty far

734
00:41:48,159 --> 00:41:50,960
away from kind of having to address some of these things.

735
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,400
And I'm sure it'll be even more. I mean, who knows,

736
00:41:53,559 --> 00:41:56,199
maybe you know, I don't know how crazy it's going

737
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,599
to get in the next decade or so. But you

738
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:09,400
bring up some really valid points here. Specialization. We're seeing overtraining, right,

739
00:42:09,519 --> 00:42:13,000
I see it all the time in my industry. The

740
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,280
the the the amount of games, the amount of practices,

741
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:22,559
and a highly affluent, highly competitive environment that we're living

742
00:42:22,599 --> 00:42:24,320
in here in the United States and in particular here

743
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,840
in the state of Utah. Kids are specializing way earlier

744
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,719
and they're they're they're playing in all manner of tournaments,

745
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,639
whether it's baseball, basketball, I mean football now is having

746
00:42:33,639 --> 00:42:37,760
a lot of offseason stuff with with seven on seven

747
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,960
and then you have strengthen and in conditioning. That's that's

748
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:47,360
also a big part of of the youth movement. You're

749
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,519
seeing that. I mean, you do specialize basketball training. You're

750
00:42:50,519 --> 00:42:53,079
seeing kids come in, they want to get better, their

751
00:42:53,159 --> 00:42:55,519
parents want them to get better. You're sitting there like, well,

752
00:42:55,519 --> 00:42:57,159
we got to loan manage a little bit here. You

753
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,239
got some teller ten to tennis. You're going through a

754
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,960
ghost bird. I know, you got a little o good sloughters,

755
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,360
you know. Anyway, like you know, a lot of money

756
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,599
is being allocated to it too, so there's like there's

757
00:43:09,159 --> 00:43:13,920
there's an economy behind it. And anyway, give me a

758
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,320
little bit more here about what you're seeing and what

759
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,239
you recommend to your youth as they're coming in to

760
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,719
be balanced multi sport athletes too. Like that's what I did.

761
00:43:25,079 --> 00:43:27,320
I did everything, so I didn't get as much loading.

762
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,920
Like football and basketball are different, baseball was different, track

763
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:32,880
and field was different.

764
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I'm all for multi sport athletes and youth athletes.

765
00:43:38,639 --> 00:43:41,519
I mean, I don't think it's it's a horrible thing

766
00:43:41,559 --> 00:43:43,400
to do. I mean, for me, I started, you know,

767
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,199
quote unquote specializing in basketball in ninth grade. When I

768
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,679
made my varsity high school basketball team at ninth grade,

769
00:43:48,679 --> 00:43:50,079
I was like, all right, this is what I'm doing

770
00:43:50,159 --> 00:43:52,559
moving forward, this is what I'm gonna specialize in quote

771
00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:55,559
unquote right like and I but I think all the

772
00:43:55,639 --> 00:43:57,480
other sports and things that kids can play are going

773
00:43:57,519 --> 00:43:59,320
to teach them so many great movement qualities because these

774
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,880
kids need to learn just how to move like and

775
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,480
these various sports can teach them that. And then also

776
00:44:04,559 --> 00:44:07,000
on top of that, it's like, yes, you know, I'm

777
00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:09,800
biased as a skills trainer, I think that skill development

778
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,519
is extremely important our games. Important absolutely is being able

779
00:44:14,639 --> 00:44:18,400
to understand your body right and when it's telling you

780
00:44:18,519 --> 00:44:20,599
that maybe you're doing a little bit too much, versus

781
00:44:20,679 --> 00:44:23,000
pushing through and thinking, oh crap, I'm gonna you know,

782
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,360
I'm gonna get kicked off. This club team that's gonna

783
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,519
get me to you know, college or the NBA like

784
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,360
and having a strength and conditioning program. I mean, there's

785
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,920
research that suggests that kids need to get started with

786
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,239
strength training so much earlier than a lot of people

787
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,280
really understand and believe. And that's to really fortify and

788
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,719
help protect these kids as they're moving forward. And my

789
00:44:45,039 --> 00:44:48,079
the word I would use for this is balance and moderation.

790
00:44:48,519 --> 00:44:50,360
Those are the two words that I would use. And

791
00:44:50,559 --> 00:44:52,320
you've got it because I see a lot of kids.

792
00:44:52,519 --> 00:44:54,360
So I see a lot of kids who will come

793
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,519
to skills training with me and they'll do they'll play

794
00:44:57,559 --> 00:44:59,599
on a club team, and that's great, but they have

795
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:04,280
no thing on board for some sort of exercise program,

796
00:45:04,519 --> 00:45:09,559
strength program, conditioning program as well. And I find that

797
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:14,039
that lack of that strength and that lack of just

798
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,639
just building out their body from a performance standpoint can

799
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,360
be extremely hurtful for these kids in the future because

800
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,239
it puts them at a higher risk of these injuries.

801
00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:26,079
I want these kids to play sports. I know all

802
00:45:26,119 --> 00:45:28,400
the wonderful things that sports can teach kids, not just

803
00:45:28,519 --> 00:45:34,199
for sport but for life that are extremely beneficial for life.

804
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:39,519
But you know, it's and and bad things happen. Don't

805
00:45:39,519 --> 00:45:41,880
get me wrong. People are gonna get injured. It's gonna happen.

806
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,360
But I just think there needs to be more education

807
00:45:44,599 --> 00:45:47,320
to all the use of America. I mean, and obviously

808
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,039
it's very like you said, competitive here in Utah of

809
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,480
having that balance, having a skills trainer, having a team

810
00:45:54,519 --> 00:45:58,000
that you play on that doesn't necessarily play literally every

811
00:45:58,039 --> 00:46:01,679
single weekend four or five games a weekend in and right,

812
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,480
and a strength coach or or a performance coach of

813
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:08,440
some sort that can help you on a weekly basis

814
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,440
to develop your body, right Like, and I get it,

815
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,480
it's it's an economy there. There's there's costs to these things.

816
00:46:16,599 --> 00:46:19,559
So I'm I guess I'm speaking from just like a

817
00:46:19,639 --> 00:46:22,360
perfect scenario, if you know, costs and things were out

818
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,880
the window. And I don't know what the answer is

819
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,519
to that, but those are the things that kids need

820
00:46:28,679 --> 00:46:31,079
in the competitive environments that we live in to give

821
00:46:31,119 --> 00:46:33,639
them the best chance of being safe and healthy. I

822
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,639
guess moving forward and into their you know, potential and

823
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:37,440
future careers.

824
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,800
