00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 3: Let's start some college basketball BYU Basketball, with BYU Basketball

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,519
inside of representing vankers to foe. We got Robbie McCombs

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,040
on the line. Robbie, how you living brother?

35
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:45,159
Speaker 4: Get good?

36
00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: Talking to you, Ben, always a pleasure, always a blessing,

37
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,319
talking ball with you. BYU Basketball obviously on a just

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,560
a ridiculous trajectory right now. This is the most talented

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,799
team at BAU basketball history. They very well could get

40
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:02,560
the monkey off their back and enter into a final four.

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,799
See a final four for once in their basketball lifetime.

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,879
You have the number one overall NBA draft pick and

43
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,439
aj to bonsa uh you were a part of, you know,

44
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:17,000
arguably one of the best, if not the best era

45
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:19,520
in b YU basketball being a student, I believe in

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,120
the gym or for Debt era. I don't know if

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,240
that's when you really bought into b YU hoops. But

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,960
you know, now you're seeing a golden era occur, and

49
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,520
you wonder how long this golden era is gonna last.

50
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:34,199
Give us some perspective on where By's at right now

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,719
comparative to where they were.

52
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: Even in the Gimmermania era.

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say, Man, I've been around longer I was.

54
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,240
I remember, like Mark Bigelow, like in the nineties and stuff.

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,840
That's kind of when I really started getting to b

56
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,680
A basketball.

57
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: That's right now, I forget, But like remember talk the

58
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:51,280
most impactful everything?

59
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 4: Yeah? When when did? When would it? When was it

60
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,840
most impactful?

61
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,479
Speaker 3: Was it the Bigelow like mckelly Wesley early two thousand.

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,759
Speaker 4: You know, one team or or was it the Jimmer era?

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,319
Like when did you really buy it?

64
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean Jimmer was like been the peak of

65
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:09,080
my life. I mean I'm thirty three, so I mean

66
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,360
I remember like early two thousands like you have, like

67
00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:14,560
Louis Lemis, like Russell Aldaruzio, like those teams like those

68
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:17,639
are like really fun teams, especially I group in Vegas.

69
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,159
You know, he was really big. That's kind of I

70
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:21,520
feel like why b A. Bass was always kind of resonated,

71
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,639
especially to me, just with the rival routine, you know,

72
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:26,560
to be basketball and football. But I guess overall, I mean,

73
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,120
I think Jimmer's gonna be like tough to ever be

74
00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:33,759
and this team's incredible, Like AJ Buie's probably never gonna

75
00:03:33,759 --> 00:03:37,639
see something like like Aji get the next ten number

76
00:03:37,719 --> 00:03:40,639
one picks, so the next ten number one recruits in

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,759
the next ten years. And I just don't think anything

78
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:45,840
gonna be with AJ, like Jener generationals thrown out a

79
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,879
little too much, like we had Cooper Flag like last year,

80
00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:52,120
Like there's been Anthony Edwards, like Kate Cunningham was really good.

81
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:55,800
But AJ's like just like the just the way the

82
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,960
basketball world talks about him, like Nike features him like

83
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,680
Keiths talks with Kevin Durant, Shaq, Kevin Garnett, Carmela Anthony,

84
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:07,919
like Lebron James deps him up court side, like that's

85
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:11,199
what makes AJ differences, Like US is trying to make

86
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,520
him like a future face of like USA Basketball, because

87
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,439
you've had all these like NBA MVPs that's been international,

88
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:19,879
and there hasn't been like an American Board MVP for

89
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,000
a while. I felt like basketball is trying to like

90
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,120
make USA basketballs, trying to make aj that which is special.

91
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:28,759
But I guess like Jim is just always going to

92
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,839
be hard to be Like maybe this team at toy

93
00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:32,920
Mick the Final four, but I know people that like

94
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,560
lived in and were around there, just like it was

95
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:39,600
just really unprecedented what Jimmer did. Like you had Steph

96
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,600
Curry a few years before in college basketball, but the

97
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:44,639
way Jimmer's shot was like honestly new to that way

98
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:47,160
of like college basketball then, Like the amount of like

99
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:50,000
the long distance shot he took, Like Twitter was just

100
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:52,439
an infancy then, So like there wasn't a lot on

101
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,199
social media about Jimmer. Honestly, I think what added to

102
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,720
like Jimmer's kind of like mystique a little bit, Like

103
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,839
all like so many of those U games are like

104
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:04,240
on versus or CSTV, so you like had to find

105
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:05,759
like a lot of current You had to find like

106
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:08,439
illegal streams if you wanted to watch them, a lot

107
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:10,560
of them, Like you saw the Sports Center highlights like

108
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,600
who's this gimmer for that guy in the mountains making

109
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,680
long shots and that just I feel like added to

110
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,560
just his cult personality and mystique. So it's gonna be

111
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:22,759
hard to ever top Gymmer, But like I think the

112
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:25,600
UA team's better and what they're doing right now, and

113
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,759
it's just just AJ would be fun to watch, like Richie,

114
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:31,040
like he's gonna go down. He's already an all time

115
00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:33,680
BOU great like it's all said and done, like top

116
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:35,959
five player and bo basketball history. I think you can

117
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:38,399
make really that case for Richie what he's done over

118
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,879
four years and obviously got Rob Wright Kata, So yeah,

119
00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:44,560
it's fun. And I combined what basketball is doing, like

120
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,120
all the BYU students right now, it's like, man, like

121
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,720
the games they get to go to, it's like good

122
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,040
for them because man, it's it's it's it's it hasn't

123
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:57,480
been better really for basketball and football at the same time.

124
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 4: How sustainable is what we're experiencing right now? Do you

125
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:03,800
feel in b Yu f e Yu?

126
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: I feel like as long as you have Kevin Young,

127
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,680
it is sustainable and and I'm like, honestly, I don't

128
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,040
know how long Kevin Young is going to be around

129
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,759
for like I like, I personally think I think he's

130
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:20,920
an NBA guy when it comes down to it, Like

131
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:23,360
maybe he's a I hope he's at buy another five

132
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:27,240
ten years. Like, but I think he did really look

133
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,600
at the Sun's job this past year. I think I

134
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,439
think he really does like being at By. I think

135
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,399
the family environment. His wife's by all accounts, really likes

136
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:37,759
living here. They just had a newborn obviously, like in

137
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,079
the in the past past years. I think that's a

138
00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:44,399
big part, and he's mentioned it's just it's the workload's

139
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:46,120
not necessary changing. But then now I have time, he

140
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,000
gets to be home with his family, not be on

141
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,480
the road. I think is a huge deal. But I

142
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:53,480
think at heart he's really an NBA guy. Again, I

143
00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:55,439
hope we haven't a round for another five ten years.

144
00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:58,120
But as far as like sustainability, I think as long

145
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,199
as Kevin Young, it's sustainable. Like there's probably a little

146
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,319
drop off next year because I don't think like Bo,

147
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,040
he's not going to have a guy's aga. Like maybe

148
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:08,240
we get Bruce Branch who's like a top ten kid

149
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,800
in the twenty twenty six class and he was the

150
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:11,759
number one kid in the twenty twenty seven clients until

151
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:14,920
he reclassified, but he's not gonna have that quite high

152
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,399
end talent. But like I think there's a really good

153
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:19,279
chance Rob Bright returns next year. I think as long

154
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:21,639
as Kevin Young's around, he's not going to transfer anywhere,

155
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:23,720
and I don't think he's probably not quite ready like

156
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,759
for the NBA, for the quite yet. So the long

157
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:28,519
as we get robbed right, that's obviously a really good

158
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:30,639
piece which makes at least a top twenty teen next year,

159
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,879
and then by will add some other pieces. So I

160
00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:36,360
guess it depends what it means by sustainable, because Boy's

161
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:39,199
history is a lot of wins, but no, it's very

162
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,279
little NCAA tournament successful obviously this passion, we got to

163
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:46,920
the sweet sixteen, so it starts sustainable, like get like

164
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:51,079
competing for Sweet sixteen bids like about every year. I think, yes,

165
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,920
that's sustainable. Like I don't think Boa is going to

166
00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:55,240
be a National Championship cut tender every year that they

167
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,959
are this year, But I think it's starts sustainability like

168
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,959
being like in the second and we get the NCAA

169
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:03,879
tournament more often than not. I think, yes, that is sustainable.

170
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,680
Kevin Young's around. If Kenyung did leave, like, I think

171
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,279
by you will be better than what they were before.

172
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:10,959
So made the ceiling's not as high, but I think

173
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,399
the way that the Boosters have bought in, like, I

174
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:14,959
don't think the ceiling will be as high, but I

175
00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:18,519
think what we've seen historically BOU will continue to have, like,

176
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,360
will have more success than they have had in the

177
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:21,439
NCAA tournament.

178
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:23,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I consistently discussed quota. Right.

179
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,199
Speaker 3: Obviously, I'm in the in the medical device sales industry.

180
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:28,199
Speaker 4: Is my main gig.

181
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:30,639
Speaker 3: Is you have your own main gig right with the Amazon,

182
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,399
and so I'm always talking about quota. Right, We're talking

183
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,240
about quota b what you football, BOE basketball quotas for

184
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:39,600
BA football, I feel like quota since you know, I've

185
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:42,440
been kind of around the BWAU football program.

186
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 4: It's been like eight wins. You got to get to

187
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:44,519
eight wins.

188
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,639
Speaker 3: Otherwise people were talking about firing for basketball. What will

189
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,039
quota end up being? Do you think year and in

190
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,600
year round? Is it just NCUAA tournament. As long as

191
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,399
you get there, you're good.

192
00:08:57,759 --> 00:08:59,759
Speaker 1: I think for the most part, I think I think

193
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,679
doesn't like the fire, especially like I think in basketball,

194
00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:08,639
like the pool is smaller than in football, like like basketball,

195
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,759
like you got Keviny, you got Mark Matson, you got

196
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,960
Chris Burgess, and then you're like, okay, you got Casey

197
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,240
Beard who's an assistant at Houston, and like what you got.

198
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:17,720
So I think as long as like long term, as

199
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,080
long as you're making the nca Double A tournament and

200
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,320
then like getting some like winning games like here and there,

201
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:32,200
I think that's that that that is sustainable. But I

202
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,440
mean I think Dave Rose towards them he wasn't making

203
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,200
the n c A Double A tournaments, and I think

204
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,720
that ultimately kind of like sour fans on fams on

205
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:42,559
him and it was time for a change. And then

206
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,080
even Mark Pope before he he left, like fans are

207
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,840
kind of okay, he's like not really doing a thing

208
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:50,320
in the in the w In the WCCs obviously had

209
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,159
made the tournament, kind of ended up poor out with

210
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:53,519
to Kentucky. But I think as long as you're making

211
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,559
the tournament, I think that's like most stands, like outside

212
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,240
of it, Kevin Yug will be fine with that.

213
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 4: Let's discuss this men's basketball team.

214
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:05,879
Speaker 3: Is they get prepped and ready for UH, A Texas

215
00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:08,559
Tech matchup gonna be a very difficult one. I don't

216
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,600
know if it's the most difficult matchup ball season, but

217
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:12,399
maybe number two, number three?

218
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:12,919
Speaker 4: Where would you?

219
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:16,279
Speaker 1: I think number two for sure. I think Yukon's better,

220
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:20,799
but Texas Tech like they're they're really good, Like they

221
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,639
have the best do O bo's played. They like JT.

222
00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:26,519
Toppin top two player in the Big twelve. Like Christian

223
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,600
Anderson I think is the best point guard in the

224
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:31,679
Big twelve, better than Rob right and that's no slight Rober.

225
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,440
I think Christian Anderson is that good, that really good.

226
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,960
I don't know if you want like the full breakdowne

227
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,159
right now, but I think they're probably like number two

228
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,000
right behind Yukon, Like they have some holes, but I

229
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,919
mean really good, high end talent, and like Texas Tech,

230
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:46,600
it's going to be a sellout tomorrow, one of the

231
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,240
toughest places to be in the country. So yeah, it's

232
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,639
gonna be like it's gonna be a huge test obviously

233
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,600
for BYU.

234
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,639
Speaker 3: Is UH, you know what, what's your biggest concern right

235
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,919
now with this bou men's basketball team, is they get

236
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,960
into the Big twelve?

237
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 4: UH gauntlet? The true gauntlet, not the.

238
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: SEC football so called gatlet but the true gauntlet in

239
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:07,440
the Big twelve.

240
00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: Good question. I want to see kids like I mean,

241
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,879
it's interesting because like when you're like saying, what's wrong

242
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:23,000
with this team is like different than what we said

243
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,200
for an WA team is the bility team that it's like, hey,

244
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,000
we just wanted to make the tournament. It's like now

245
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:31,240
we're our grading scales like a Final four caliber team.

246
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 4: You know.

247
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,879
Speaker 1: So it's like always like it's always got so many

248
00:11:33,919 --> 00:11:36,120
good things. So it's like I'm kind of like the context,

249
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,240
I'm kind of great on that sky, Like what yeah,

250
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,120
what would keep this buoity team for being a Final

251
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:43,240
four team? I think what's interesting when you look at

252
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,639
like the landscape of college basketball. The top end of

253
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:50,000
college basketball is good. It's probably been in decades. Like

254
00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:51,600
it's not as good as like the nineties and like

255
00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:55,120
early two thousands, even before that, when guys would stay

256
00:11:55,159 --> 00:11:57,240
for four years like you have like Tim Duncan playing

257
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,159
for four years, like the guys like the Grant like

258
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,320
those Duke teams, like you don't have that. But the

259
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,559
top end like with like nil which has allowed players

260
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,840
to stay longer was like top europlayers coming over. Like

261
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:12,159
the top end of college basketball is really good. Like

262
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,600
I tweeted out a stat earlier this week, So bo

263
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:17,559
A right now is thirteen and ken Pom and at

264
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,720
by If you look at like three in the past

265
00:12:19,759 --> 00:12:22,840
six seasons, bua's ken Pom rating would have been the

266
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,919
number BA win, the second best highest ken Pom rating

267
00:12:25,919 --> 00:12:28,679
in college basketball, which is wild. So it's kind of

268
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,879
like of all the years bo you picked up all

269
00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:33,159
time team they had to pick the year, there's so

270
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:35,519
many good teams at the top. I think it's kind

271
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,519
of like a such like I think football is a

272
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,320
little different because football it's like it's spread it out

273
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,399
all evenly, whereas basketball it's really pushed the top end

274
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,639
talent to a lot because basketball you really really need

275
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,240
like one or two players to really flip the caliber

276
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:50,960
of your program, like Bowie had Richie and you brought

277
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,639
an aj and Robins, like Boom you're a Final Four contender.

278
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,480
Like football you need doesn't you need over like double

279
00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:00,000
digit players you offense, line of defense, line or basketball,

280
00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:01,559
it's like you just need a couple of players. So

281
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,159
like basketball, like there's like football for most programs is

282
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:08,000
where you invest more. There's less money for basketball, but

283
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,759
basketball you needed some money to get a couple of

284
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:13,039
guys like the top really twelve fifteen teams in college

285
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:15,879
basketball have got top euro playing players, top like, but

286
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:18,559
they've got all the top of the top ten college basketball.

287
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,120
So that's that's one thing that's just hard. There's lots

288
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,120
of really good like super final like Final four caliber

289
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,840
teams where most of your vio you would probably be

290
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:28,679
a one or two seeds like this year they could

291
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,679
still be really dang good and like bes three, maybe

292
00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:35,559
even a four seed. So that's just like macro, I think,

293
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,720
what's difficult. But we're talking about like this actual BYU team.

294
00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:40,919
I mean, I mean people talk about the depth, and

295
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,600
obviously that's a concern. Like to me, it's not a

296
00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:45,960
huge concern because when you get on a game, just

297
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:49,320
a game by game basis, like he's not gonna be

298
00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:51,759
like doesn't want to go like a ton of guys anyway,

299
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:53,799
so it's not a huge concern, but like, where's the

300
00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:56,320
hellolo of the course of this season, and like not

301
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,080
having Dawson Baker really does like hurt because BYU, like

302
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,480
they pretty much the road. They're always gonna play two

303
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:06,759
of a j Robert Ritchie at the same time. Obviously

304
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,519
there are three of them are gonna be the floor

305
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,559
a lot at the same time, especially in crucial minutes,

306
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,320
but kind of those mid points of the halfs it's like, hey,

307
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,279
you're kind of going Tyler rest. He hasn't given you

308
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,960
what you've wanted this year, like Coastitch like just isn't

309
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:21,759
quite ready yet, so Ba just had to go bigger

310
00:14:21,759 --> 00:14:23,919
at Boskovic has been playing more minutes, whereas if you

311
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,799
had a Dawson Baker that gave you twenty minutes. It

312
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,000
was rotating with those three guys, like you have a

313
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:30,879
catch and shoot guy, that'd be really that'd be big.

314
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:32,559
So like that's not like a huge thing, but that's

315
00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:36,000
the thing. Like BI used three point shooting. I think

316
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,960
like they could use a little bit more of that.

317
00:14:38,039 --> 00:14:42,200
Like obviously Richie's like great three point shooter, but that stretches.

318
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,000
He hasn't been great, Like he wasn't great at the

319
00:14:44,039 --> 00:14:46,399
TCU game, like the Yukon game. I think he was

320
00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:48,799
oh of eighth nine from three And if he's not

321
00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:51,240
hitting thirty, it's like Heynard Davis cam but he's only

322
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:54,679
shooting thirty three percent. Like Rob's been a huge revelation

323
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:57,159
this year shooting from three. Last year he shot less

324
00:14:57,159 --> 00:14:59,519
than thirty percent from three, and Big Twelve play this

325
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:02,039
year for the shooting season, he's shooting forty five percent.

326
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,000
So that's that's really big. But BA they take a

327
00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:06,919
decent math. They don't shoot a ton of three. So

328
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:08,960
like if you play a team like Texas Tech that

329
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,679
shoots the most threes in the Big Twelve, like they

330
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,720
could just it could be a math equation. If they're

331
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:15,279
just hitting three, you got agent going the line, finishing

332
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,279
and ones. But again that's not like a huge concern,

333
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,200
but it's like a thing I'm watching. A team can

334
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:26,080
outshoot Buyu and Boy's defense has been much improved this year,

335
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:28,240
but they they can still i think be taken by

336
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,799
dan amutguards Like Utah is not a good team, but

337
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,200
they have two good guards and McK henry and Terrence

338
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,720
Brown that they do well against BYU. So a team

339
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,159
like Christian Anderson really carves them up, like when they

340
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,000
so they play some teams high guards. So I'd say

341
00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:45,720
those are just just like just off the cuff. Those

342
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,039
are some things. Again, like I'm going grading on a

343
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,399
boa being a final four team, not just at the

344
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:52,240
Little Bay tournament team. I think those are the types

345
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:57,000
of things that could keep BYU from being a gain

346
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,159
in type the final four.

347
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, you wonder. Like year, it seemed like the rotation

348
00:16:01,679 --> 00:16:04,519
actually expanded. I thought it would restrict, but he'd expanded

349
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,120
as we got towards this madness. I don't know if

350
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,919
this team will expand that rotation. I want to believe

351
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,960
that they could, that they will, but this one may

352
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,159
be more of a restriction, limitation of minutes. Like I

353
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,840
want to see Tyler Mara's ballou. I want to see

354
00:16:19,879 --> 00:16:21,919
Alexi Coastik. We remember we had that one game where

355
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,159
he came off the bench, Dominique Diamonde, look at Reger Freshman.

356
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,120
All these guys are talented, but you may have to

357
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,080
lean on the biggs coming off the bench.

358
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:31,519
Speaker 4: Kind of a.

359
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,799
Speaker 3: Hybrid between I mean Abdullah Ahmed unique in his skill set, Mihilo, Buzzkivik,

360
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,279
the highlight BUCKETVICH. Hopefully he steps in and I mean

361
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,840
I keep on leaning towards I need to see almost

362
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,679
a force fed Mahilo because we're gonna have to rely

363
00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:51,799
on him because of his diverse skill set.

364
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think probably it's Roy lately gonna be a seven.

365
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,360
Like now Ahmed like helps this team, Like it's it's

366
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:02,279
a big addition because that means buy will always have

367
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,359
a rim protector on the floor, and I think that's

368
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,359
huge for this defense. Obviously we know what Kiba could do,

369
00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:10,680
but he gives you twenty eight thirty minutes, like twenty

370
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,160
six to thirty minutes a night. But then if you

371
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:15,920
spell him with on that is a true five. He's

372
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,240
big that could give you like another twelve to fifteen

373
00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:22,200
minutes a night. Another the big thing about Onmed, which

374
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,680
I think we'll start to see really with Arizona. Like

375
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,079
one of the things that gave me pause about this

376
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,240
Bou teams that teams could really just if they had

377
00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:32,960
big front lines, they could bully Bou inside, like we

378
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,279
saw that against Yukon, Like they just kind of bullied

379
00:17:35,319 --> 00:17:37,480
you inside cleansing that first half. They have a big

380
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:40,559
front line, they were able to bully Bou inside. And

381
00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:43,000
I look to the future like Arizona has really good

382
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,839
big with Tobya Waka, with CoA Pete, some of their

383
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,160
big front line. If you played like a Michigan in

384
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,319
the NCAA tournament, like a team you could see in

385
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,400
the final four there have as big as a front

386
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,079
line anyone perdue always a very big front line. So

387
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,839
to me, that's kind of like that would before Onhmed

388
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,039
was like ruled out like be able to play the

389
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:03,400
back half of the That was probably my biggest concern

390
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,960
with the team, just like that was like the matchup

391
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,480
and now you had ONMD like six foot ten, like

392
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:09,960
he has a true set like seven point seven true

393
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:12,519
seven three wings band like it's been like verified, like

394
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,279
measured at the euro event last year. That helps a lot,

395
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,480
Like because Keba, like obviously Keble is like a good

396
00:18:18,519 --> 00:18:20,200
red protector, but he can't really bing with some of

397
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,720
those big guys like Ahmed has like the mask to

398
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:26,000
take take like be a red protector, take a driver

399
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,119
in the chest and not just be back playing in

400
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,480
some of those teams. And you play Arizona next week

401
00:18:31,079 --> 00:18:32,799
and some of those big teams, like that's gonna help

402
00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:34,599
a lot. So that that really shorts things up. So

403
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,559
he's gonna be a big part. I mean, Hilo is

404
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:38,640
gonna play like it's funny. I mean, how like he

405
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,119
has said like a player to every game and you're

406
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,759
just like, what is he even doing? But then you'll

407
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,960
like then you'll just han a three, get a big rebound.

408
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,000
You're like, okay, but like he's gonna play because like

409
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,880
teams have to guard him even though like percentage isn't great.

410
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,519
I've been talking to people like teams have to respect

411
00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:58,200
and like Boop is gonna being Boop is gonna be

412
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,440
a really good player. For by the reason was in

413
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,200
front of him right now, and like in the pick

414
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,559
and order when buy is all healthy, it's because Kevin

415
00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:09,160
Young values spacing really more than anything, and the highlow

416
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:11,839
teams have to account for him where boops then he

417
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,880
gets off insive rebounds of Husele plays his motors great.

418
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,519
He just kind of congests the floor, and Kevin Young

419
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,720
is like, hey, any guys to space, So that's what

420
00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:22,160
it's gonna be. Probably he's two main guys, and then

421
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:24,279
it gives you some size, so then you could slide

422
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,079
aj down to the three of Riche at the two,

423
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,400
Rob at the one, and then just those guys are

424
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,759
probably like thirty six plus minutes a game. You hope

425
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:35,720
like Reuss could come stell in there, but I think, yeah,

426
00:19:35,799 --> 00:19:38,680
like AT's gonna play a lot Mihala's parating beat every

427
00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:41,319
day and then boop, depending on like matchups and stuff.

428
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:42,960
He probably goes in there and you hope mares could

429
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,359
find his shot, but that's probably a buy's bench is

430
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,960
mostly going to look like and like competitive games restricted.

431
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 3: Man, I was hoping for another expansion, but it seems

432
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,079
like it's going to be restricted. But what's your level

433
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,599
of confidence that Mahilo in the next six weeks can

434
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,599
really get into groove.

435
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,759
Speaker 1: I guess it's like, I think he's a guy if

436
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,519
you want to score like eight points every night from three, No,

437
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,839
that's just not like what he is. Like he's gonna

438
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,000
have like we saw the Iowa State game lush and

439
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,400
in the Big Twelve tournament he could get you right

440
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,000
into a game, get four threes. But Kansas State game

441
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,799
he had good. But then he has some games it's

442
00:20:25,839 --> 00:20:29,240
like does he remember how to play basketball? And I

443
00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:31,720
mean that like with all like just like I said that, I

444
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,359
was just kind of smiling a little bit. That's just

445
00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:35,920
the highly he plays with his hair on fire, and

446
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,759
I think that's what's great about he has like all

447
00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:41,240
the passions. So like I think he has gotten more consistent,

448
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,720
like he's he's big, Like he's been pretty good on

449
00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:46,440
the glass, like he has been hitting shots. So as

450
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,079
far as like like he's not going to be like

451
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,839
a contender by any means for Big twelve six Men

452
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,759
of the Year, but he seems like he's starting to

453
00:20:53,759 --> 00:20:57,279
like kind of get into that groove. So there's still

454
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,880
be plays here and there and he's like, what what

455
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,640
the heck are you doing? But that I think, I

456
00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:03,359
do think more often than not, he's gonna be an

457
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,519
asset more than a liability, like because he side of

458
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:10,160
the floor for floor spacing, can hit threes like Kevin

459
00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:14,319
Nikes his defense, So I feel like pretty good that

460
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,400
he could be like a contributor the rest of the way.

461
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I need I need at least like one.

462
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,519
Speaker 3: One or two games where I'm kind of blown away

463
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,640
like a I don't like a DeMarcus Harrison game where

464
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,559
he like you know, dropped like fifteen or something. I'm

465
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:34,039
trying to remember the particular game when he was at BYU,

466
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,720
but he was kind of like, yeah, he had like

467
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,079
twelve versus Iona, you know what I mean, Like, hey, yeah,

468
00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:41,240
two or four. I think it was like a Michael

469
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:44,279
Lloyd game early in his career before he ended up

470
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:46,000
having to transfer and stuff like that, where he had

471
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:46,720
had like this.

472
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 4: All star performance.

473
00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:50,319
Speaker 3: That's the type of performance I need for him, just

474
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,240
out of the blue. Yeah, in an NCAA tournament game.

475
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: Like he'll probably have like oh I was like a

476
00:21:55,799 --> 00:21:58,559
Mexican's Arizona. He'll be four or five from three and

477
00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:00,480
then he'll fall and then he'll fall all that up.

478
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,720
He plays Kansas, he plays eight minutes, has three turnovers,

479
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,720
and he's oh four, Like that's kind of that's probably

480
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,359
what happened. But I in all seriously, like I like,

481
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,160
like I'm not trying to like hype up me Hyla

482
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,839
by like Kevin Young, like I mean kind of out

483
00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:16,759
of necessity. He has to trust him a little bit.

484
00:22:17,279 --> 00:22:19,480
He has lots of basketball experience, Like he's twenty two,

485
00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:22,680
he did play like like EuroPro ball for a couple

486
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,039
of years. Like he's got size, so like he does

487
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,119
do good things, but he's not Like if you have

488
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,960
to rely on him, obviously you're in trouble. But like,

489
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:30,880
I think he can be a positive for this team.

490
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,599
And honestly, I think he has been despite his lapses

491
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,799
and things. You're like kind of scratching your head out sometimes.

492
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 4: Robbie mccomb's ladies and gentlemen.

493
00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 3: How do you see this Texas Tech game playing out?

494
00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:46,839
Speaker 1: Yes, I did. I did a full preview. I'm thinking

495
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,079
the full I pulished a couple hours ago. People won't

496
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,079
kind of read kind of my per fascinating game, Like, honestly,

497
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,200
it's high at top end talent and you're seeing a

498
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,880
college basketbab obviously have Bo's Big Three, and for Texas Tech,

499
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,480
you have the JD top in raining Big twelve player,

500
00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:05,880
you're Christian Anderson, who it thinks, like I said, the

501
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,359
best point guard in the Big twelve. Texas second is interesting,

502
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,079
Like they have even less depth than BYU. Like I

503
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,240
looked at this, I was looking at ken Pom like

504
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,119
out of their top ten, bottom ten in benchments and

505
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,920
all caused basketball and have all Power Conference teams, they're

506
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,799
dead last in bench minutes, Like they essentially play like

507
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:26,759
if we think BYU short, like they play even shorter,

508
00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:28,759
like Christian Anderson's going to play all forty minutes. They

509
00:23:28,839 --> 00:23:31,720
put it much ran a six man rotation. It's well

510
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,039
at it. Heal three like their starting center he's been

511
00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:36,680
out the past month, and if he comes back this game,

512
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,720
he's a really good shot blocker. But like if he

513
00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:41,200
does come back, a probably will be limited. So assuming

514
00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:43,440
he's out, like you got JT. Topp and playing the five,

515
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,400
who can't play the five, but it's out of position.

516
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,880
But look, even the guys that they do have is

517
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,359
really good. They're in Big twelve play, which is everyone's

518
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,680
played four games so far, but number one and three

519
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,680
point shooting percentage. They shoot the second most threes in

520
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,480
Big twelve play. They're on the glass really good, so

521
00:23:58,519 --> 00:24:01,839
they do things really good. I think the places where boy,

522
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,119
you could get them, they don't go to, like the

523
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,400
foul line a lot, and they shoot the least amount

524
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,400
of free throws in the Big twe in the Big twelve.

525
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,480
So in some ways they're lived by the three, died

526
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:14,400
by the three. Not quite so much because top is

527
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:17,839
so good on the interior and they still didn't make

528
00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:19,720
a lot of threes. But like if three ball is

529
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:22,319
not going like they can't, they are very susceptible because

530
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,880
that's a big part of their offense. One thing that's

531
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,160
interesting at the beginning of the year, I think a

532
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,559
lot of people are saying on Big Weekend this the

533
00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:31,319
Buy's offensive rebounding bo is the best offensive rebounding team

534
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,920
in the Big Twelve through four games. Like B's rebounding

535
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,160
forty percent of their misses through four Big Twelve games,

536
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,480
which is a lot. Texas Tech, on the other hand,

537
00:24:38,519 --> 00:24:40,759
they allow the least amount of offense to rebound, so

538
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,559
reboundings that's going to be a big part of this game.

539
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:46,759
I picked by two in this game, Like the final

540
00:24:46,799 --> 00:24:48,640
score person is eighty five eighty three. Like again, I

541
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,680
think this is a toss up game. The Vegas line

542
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,960
like represents that Texas like texasbout two and a half

543
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,039
point favorite, where I kind of like BUYU. I think

544
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,079
do A is going to be very aggressive with aj

545
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,920
early on. Like Texas Tech, they do not want to

546
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,039
foul because they have that really short rotation. They really

547
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,319
don't have anyone to play the five like that they

548
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,519
trust behind JT. So I would expect Buick Kevin Young

549
00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:16,119
to put de Bonsen Barritt just attacking the paint early on.

550
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,559
And even if JT. Toplin doesn't pick up a ton

551
00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:20,200
of like you good one or two early fouls, like,

552
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,079
they're not going to take him out of the game,

553
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:24,160
but they're not gonna want He's not going to be

554
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,039
very aggressive protecting the rim. If he's not protecting the rim,

555
00:25:27,079 --> 00:25:29,599
that just opens up Bua's whole offense. Robert I could

556
00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:31,160
get in the paint, AJ could get in the paint,

557
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,720
So I think Boy is really going to do that.

558
00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:36,240
Like Texas Tech isn't very long, Buoy is a longer

559
00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:39,720
team than them, but I guess said Texas Tech unbelievable

560
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,480
shooting team, the best offensive team. Buoy's plays so far

561
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:45,440
like high end talent. They I think they're more high

562
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,559
in talent than Yukon, even though Yukon's a better team,

563
00:25:47,559 --> 00:25:50,119
like with Toppin and Anderson, so like they're an incredibly

564
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,400
hard team, like I could easily see them winning, but

565
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,480
I just think with like BUA was like, there's ways

566
00:25:56,519 --> 00:25:59,559
I think bu is kind of scheme to play this team.

567
00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:01,480
They could get and then get into the foul trouble,

568
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:04,079
which I think will really open up again. Like Tech buy,

569
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,880
I think Texas Tech they're gonna make threes of this game,

570
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,200
but BUE has shown like that Kansas State game, Kansas

571
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,680
State was top ten the country three point shooting. They

572
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,759
allowed Kansas State to shoot three twenty one foot three.

573
00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:15,720
I think Buoy could slid down Texas like Jeffson enough

574
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,000
from the outside, and I think Buoy could. I think

575
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,759
Buey could squeak out with a win here which would

576
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:22,799
be huge. M give BUA like a top tier quad

577
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:24,720
one one on the road, which would buy is missing

578
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:25,119
right now.

579
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,319

662
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,319
whatever it may be, and try to figure out a

663
00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:28,880
way to improve your overall life, whether that's performance, esthetics,

664
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,839
whatever that is. And like you mentioned, we do a

665
00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:34,759
lot more than just testosterone. We do peptide therapies, which

666
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:37,759
are really becoming popular now. We do glp ones and

667
00:30:37,839 --> 00:30:42,519
medical assisted weight loss, and a lot more things other

668
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:45,279
than that as well. So come in, get your baseline,

669
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:47,480
figure what's going on, why you aren't feeling the same,

670
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,559
why aren't you aren't looking the same, And we'll start

671
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:50,880
from there.

672
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 4: I love that.

673
00:30:51,319 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: Get that baseline health so you can launch into the best.

674
00:30:55,759 --> 00:30:57,599
Speaker 4: Way to treat your body.

675
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: I always say, we fought to come down here and

676
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,720
experience life and gain this body.

677
00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 4: Let's treat it right. Let's treat it right, don't don't

678
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,240
treat it so poorly.

679
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,759
Speaker 3: And if you've you feel like you're a little the lethargic,

680
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,599
let's get optimized. Let's get dialed in, ladies and gentlemen,

681
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,559
real quick, let's talk some BAU basketball. I just got

682
00:31:15,559 --> 00:31:17,039
off the line with Robin mccomes. I don't know if

683
00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:19,480
you caught any of that interview, Lane, but number eleven

684
00:31:19,559 --> 00:31:22,119
by you taking on number fifteen Texas text set for

685
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,039
a top fifteen showdown on Saturday.

686
00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:25,319
Speaker 4: Baby.

687
00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: The Cougars are three and four all time against the

688
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,920
ren Raiders. This is becoming a rivalry between the BAU

689
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,480
Cougars and the Texas A Red Raiders on the football

690
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:36,480
field and on the basketball court. That's what's happening. Why

691
00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:39,640
because both of them are well resourced. Both of these teams,

692
00:31:40,079 --> 00:31:43,599
these administrations, these athletic purpose are very passionate about winning

693
00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:46,240
at a high level and can't wait to watch your

694
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,640
Saturday's game going to be broadcast on ESPN with Dave

695
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,400
Leming and fran.

696
00:31:49,359 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 4: Fraschilla on the call.

697
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,599
Speaker 3: A star studded crew, no doubt about it. Saturday will

698
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:57,759
be the eighth all time meeting between the two schools

699
00:31:57,759 --> 00:32:01,319
and the second trip to the United super Markets Arena

700
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,400
for the Cougars. After winning the first three games of

701
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,319
the series, b Layers dropped four straight as Texas Tech.

702
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,759
Speaker 4: Leads the all time series four to three. Let's even

703
00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:10,319
the score.

704
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 3: In their lone meeting last season, BAU suffered its first

705
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,160

00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: We gotta get Randy Reid on the line before this

718
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,599
game's over. You know, Randy Reid, don't you? Vict Robby

719
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:52,400
You're right Randy and Robbie.

720
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 4: Yes.

721
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,839
Speaker 3: Indeed, shout out to the Reed family. We love and

722
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,440
appreciate them. He went eight to thirteen from the field,

723
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,160
two to three from the three point line, and eight

724
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,880
of twelve from the charity stripe and a ten point

725
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,200
victory for BYU eighty four seventy four b YU radio

726
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:07,880
analyst Mark Durant had five points.

727
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 4: We should have talked to you about this. I for

728
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:09,759
totally forgot.

729
00:33:09,799 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 3: We had him on yesterday five points, three rare bounds

730
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,160
and a pair of assist in twenty one minutes of action, so.

731
00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 4: It should be a It's a massive game.

732
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: This is gonna be the as I was talking with Robbie,

733
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,839
looked the toughest opponent thus far, Yukon. This is a

734
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,119
road game, a quad one opportunity. You don't have one

735
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,440
of those on your resume. Would be massive to get

736
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,640
that for the BYU resume. If you want to be

737
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,400
a three seed or better, these are the games you

738
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,960
gotta win if you want to be at the top

739
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,279
of the food chain, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

740
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,720
these are the games you gotta win, Layne Auto your thoughts.

741
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, excited for the game. I mean we've played some

742
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,440
challenging games up to this point, obviously the Yukon one

743
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,440
that you just mentioned, but it's been a while since

744
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:57,119
we've played like a top twenty five team, sure, especially

745
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,640
a way, so it'll be interesting to see who shows

746
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,720
up for this game. Interested to see also who's going

747
00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:07,160
to be available to play, if if Beto's gonna play

748
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,280
this game, and really it'll be interesting to see what

749
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,800
the matchups are, Like Robbie was just talking about how

750
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,320
they're really only six deep. I'm also the other thing

751
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,920
that I'm really interested to see is how many fouls

752
00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:25,119
aj can can can mount up that he can draw

753
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:27,920
during this game, because I think that'll be a big storyline.

754
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,800
I mean, which game was that where he had Yeah,

755
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,400
I mean I think he got fouled ten times, uh

756
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,480
in a recent game. And it's like, if that's the

757
00:34:38,519 --> 00:34:40,760
case and they've only got six players that they're they're

758
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,599
going deep right now. Uh, it'll be interesting to see

759
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:45,679
what they're what their lineup is going to look like

760
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:46,599
towards the end of the game.

761
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be restricted, right. But Ronald three man Weaver,

762
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,639
we discussed that with Robbie.

763
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 4: Uh.

764
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 3: Last year it seemed like it was continually expanding and

765
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,920
we're like, wow, we got eleven guys that are getting

766
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,880
a significant minute. Now we're wind down. We got seven guys.

767
00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:02,599
It's it, that's all Seven is the number. It's the

768
00:35:02,599 --> 00:35:03,280
perfect number.

769
00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: Uh.

770
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 3: Per the Hebrews seven and the and the Lord rested

771
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:07,679
on the seventh day.

772
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 4: Uh and uh.

773
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 3: Seven is the perfect number, guys, that's what it's gonna

774
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,639
be for the bench. And that's a concern, rob Or,

775
00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:16,360
that's a concern, Ronald the three man weaver.

776
00:35:16,599 --> 00:35:19,199
Speaker 6: Yep, it's a concern. Seven is a you know, he

777
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,679
rested on the seventh day. But eight is great. So

778
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,599
I think eight is good. Eight is what is gonna

779
00:35:24,639 --> 00:35:27,079
need to take to to really I think win. No, Look,

780
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:29,199
you and Lane were talking about it. I think this

781
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:33,039
can be a rivalry and the numbers overall show that.

782
00:35:33,079 --> 00:35:35,400
But look, this team hasn't been them yet. They're on three,

783
00:35:35,599 --> 00:35:37,400
only one at the crib, only one on the road,

784
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,599
and on one of neutral. The Texas Tech has got

785
00:35:39,639 --> 00:35:42,119
you in all manner, so you're gonna end it tomorrow. Look,

786
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,320
and I think that short rotation for Texas Tech and

787
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,840
foul trouble is where you have to go. Now we'll

788
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,480
say this. I don't think they're gonna shoot his bad

789
00:35:48,519 --> 00:35:51,559
bend and this is Look, look, Mark Durant said yesterday

790
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,400
by U, I think is gonna have a chance. I'm

791
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,519
predicting the win. You can hear everything about that tomorrow

792
00:35:55,559 --> 00:35:57,519
in the pregame show here on one O three, nine

793
00:35:57,559 --> 00:35:59,800
and five PM with me and Andrew Peterson. But I'll

794
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,440
give list a little bit of a tease. When you

795
00:36:02,519 --> 00:36:05,519
only play six guys and AJ wasn't feeling well and

796
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:07,599
he drops twenty five and he scores seventeen to eight

797
00:36:07,639 --> 00:36:10,119
minutes and he's gonna be and Kevin Young doesn't practice

798
00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:12,519
him the next two days per Spencer Linton to be

799
00:36:12,519 --> 00:36:14,800
able to feel healthy. And you really think that Bo's

800
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,760
gonna shoot that bad two games in a row. You

801
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,199
think Richie's gonna be in foul trouble again. If I'm

802
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,760
the Red Raiders and Graham mccaslon, I would be very

803
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,320
much unnoticed because Kevin Young, he competitive, petty, he angry,

804
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,000
he knows about that. He gives us insight. I guarantee

805
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,639
that they're gonna be fired up tomorrow, ready to play

806
00:36:30,679 --> 00:36:33,039
this team. And look, I'm gonna be honest, if they

807
00:36:33,079 --> 00:36:34,800
came out in Blitz Texas Tech in the first half,

808
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,159
I would not be surprised. I think you just have

809
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,079
to overcome a whether the storm or JT toppin. So

810
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,760
I'm excited for the defensive matchup. AJ is gonna have

811
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,159
j T Toppin and j T Toppin is gonna have

812
00:36:45,199 --> 00:36:46,960
aj That's what I'm gonna be watching tomorrow.

813
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 4: I like it, I love it. I want some more

814
00:36:50,039 --> 00:36:50,480
of it.

815
00:36:50,679 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 3: Let's talk women's basketball, Ronald three Man, we will be

816
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,400
down covering the women's basketball game as well tomorrow. Be

817
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,440
what he looks for its first ranked win under coach Leekamar.

818
00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:03,440
Shout out to Lee Kamar as the number eighteen Baylor

819
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,920
Bears visit Provo and look, I've been impressed with this

820
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Lady Koog's team. Following that bounce back win at Houston,

821
00:37:10,039 --> 00:37:13,000
Bay returns to those friendly confines at the Merritt Center

822
00:37:13,199 --> 00:37:15,800
for this Top twenty five matchup and can't wait to

823
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,880
see what happens. Saturday's matinee feels early similar to the

824
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,800
last matchup between the Cougars and the Bears at the

825
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,519
Merrick Center, as Baylor came into that game ranked eighteenth

826
00:37:24,519 --> 00:37:27,880
in the country before being handed a seventy eight sixty

827
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,079
six de feet on February twenty twenty five of the

828
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:32,719
hands of the home team BYU trails the all time

829
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,960
series three to two against Baylor, with the Bears winning

830
00:37:37,039 --> 00:37:39,159
last years as lone meeting eighty three to seventy one.

831
00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:41,599
But this is a new team, new face, new places.

832
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:45,599
As Lee Kamard leads this Lady Cook team to Glorian victory.

833
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 4: I love what Lee has done.

834
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: And Ronald, you've been keeping an eye on this fourteen

835
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,159
and three team and getting into Big Twelve conference play.

836
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,840
This is a gauntlet, just like it is for the

837
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:57,960
BYU men's team.

838
00:37:58,079 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 6: Absolutely, the next two games are gonna tell us a

839
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,360
lot and then we're gonna take a game by game.

840
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,039
Start Saturday is the take on Baylor. They've had their

841
00:38:04,119 --> 00:38:06,760
number at home when Baylor's had to come into the

842
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,920
Mayor at Center, ken Ba, you make it three years

843
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,119
in a row of upsetting the Baylor Bears. They did

844
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,400
twice under Amber Whiting. So we'll see what happens. But

845
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,519
it's definitely possible. Been as the Big twelve men and

846
00:38:16,559 --> 00:38:18,719
women's you can win and lose on any given day.

847
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,360
Look at Iowa State, who the women's team with Audie

848
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,440
Crooks that was a force and they're catching L's. That's

849
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,400
just the way it is. Is a tough conference to

850
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,000
play in. Nonetheless, but they played Baylor on Saturday. Then

851
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,039
they turn right back around on another Top twenty five

852
00:38:31,079 --> 00:38:33,920
matchup and play number twenty one Texas Tech. So one

853
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,840
game at a time, but we will see. But I

854
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,239
do firmly believe in our go on record these next

855
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,239
two games. I feel like we'll set the tone of

856
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,199
what the rest of conference player will be like. Because

857
00:38:42,199 --> 00:38:43,719
if you don't get these and both of them are

858
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,000
at the crib, that's not really good. You gotta protect

859
00:38:46,039 --> 00:38:47,360
home court when you're in the Big twelve.

860
00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 3: Is a is this a an nc double A tournament

861
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,199
team that you are? You seeing nca double A tournament?

862
00:38:55,599 --> 00:39:00,679
Talent wise, coaching staff wise, this season, it's been a minute.

863
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,280
You know, Juddy to me one of my favorites, Jeff

864
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,760
Judkins an all time great. Under him, it seemed like

865
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,840
Bway was going to NCAA tournament. Pretty kiddy consistently recruiting

866
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,920
at a high level. Is Lee Kamard bringing Brigham back

867
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,559
to Glorian greatness on the hardwood for the BA women's team.

868
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 6: I think you know he's on his way. I don't

869
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,559
think he's at that point yet. Like I said, you

870
00:39:21,639 --> 00:39:23,880
got a couple of premier matchups Quad one games, if

871
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,039
you if you get the one against Baylor, ben Or

872
00:39:26,119 --> 00:39:27,880
Texas Tech even split that. Look, they got a three

873
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,679
game homes Dan, Baylor, Texas Tech in West Virginia. You

874
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:31,159
go two and.

875
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 4: One in that ben Or.

876
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,639
Speaker 6: If you're able to somehow get all three of those,

877
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,400
but you can't go one and two, you have to

878
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,559
go too and one. You can start to have that conversation.

879
00:39:38,079 --> 00:39:40,119
Utah is gonna be up there. You're gonna play Kansas State.

880
00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:42,320
You're gonna get Iowa State at home. They got to look,

881
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:43,599
this is what they have at home. They got tough

882
00:39:43,639 --> 00:39:46,880
games at home. They beat already. They lost the TCU.

883
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,440
That was a tough one, right, but that was early.

884
00:39:48,519 --> 00:39:49,880
Now they found a little bit more of their ideent

885
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,360
needed to played Arizona State at home, handed them their

886
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,000
first loss of the season. Gotta win against Houston on

887
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,320
the road, lost to Arizona in a close ballgame. You

888
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,199
get Baylor at the crib, you get Texas Tech, you

889
00:39:59,199 --> 00:40:02,360
get West Virginia, you got Utah, you got number nineteen

890
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,320
Iowa State, Ben, you got Colorado at the crib in Cincinnati.

891
00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:08,599
If you can split between those top twenty five matchups

892
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,199
and get an Iowa State get a Utah gets Cincinnati

893
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,800
and Colorado I think that's enough. The talent correlates to wins.

894
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,360
That's just what I'll say, because at the end of

895
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,840
the day, if the roster, production and the coaching does

896
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,599
not provide good outcomes, then obviously it wasn't good enough.

897
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,360
So we will find out in the next two weeks.

898
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,199
But that's why I make the take. The next two

899
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,519
games will tell us a lot.

900
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 4: Looking forward to see what Lee Kamart can do.

901
00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 3: Obviously, you know, a fantastic ballplayer at BYU, one of

902
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:39,119
the greats, and we've steadily seen we've steadily seen him

903
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:44,519
become a better coach. He could surpass as a coach

904
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,760
his productivity and success as a player. So very excited

905
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,400
about what Lee Camard is doing as he leads the

906
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,960
BYU Cougar women's basketball team. That's the world of BA sports.

907
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,360
But real quick, Layne Allo by my side, let's talk

908
00:41:00,559 --> 00:41:03,199
real quick before we call this a segment about what

909
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,400
BYU football has been doing in the transfer portal.

910
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,679
Speaker 4: Uh, they just picked up Javin.

911
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 3: Williams, a SEC cornerback from Mississippi State. Congratulations to toa

912
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,840
Mario Warren and Kate Pop for getting their first cornerback.

913
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,559
They're going to go out to the portal and get

914
00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:19,719
another one here shortly, they needed to fortify that room

915
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,880
and gain some depth there. Uh, they've added three offensive lineman,

916
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,440
all with P four starting experience.

917
00:41:26,519 --> 00:41:29,599
Speaker 4: Actually, well, I guess Junior c Uh. Junior c is.

918
00:41:29,519 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 3: At the at the G six level, but he's a

919
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,960
starting right tackle for Utah State. Really nice prospect with

920
00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:38,360
a great playing experience. You got Walker Lyons coming in,

921
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,960
You've got Kyler Casper, four star wide receiver, and uh,

922
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,800
it's a pretty good hoss so far, eight players, and

923
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,280
I would say it's a healthy haul for BYU football.

924
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,079
Speaker 4: What stands out to you?

925
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,199
Speaker 5: Well, the one name I didn't hear you say was Kid.

926
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, k who many you know think that if that's

927
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,000
the best acquisition of the offseason.

928
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 4: Well, this is why I'll say.

929
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 3: Like I'm like, like I'm excited about Kid all acc

930
00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:08,199
all these things right, But the defense is gonna be

931
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,280
good in my opinion, no matter if Caid's on the

932
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,880
team or not. We are deepest position at BYU. Even

933
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:21,199
with losing Jack Kelly is still the linebacking rope. There's

934
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,760
no it's the most talented and the deepest. They are

935
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,719
so stacked at linebacker. Now, if a four stars there

936
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,639
and all these acc players there, you go out and

937
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:34,280
get them. And I chatted with Vic Sodo, like he's

938
00:42:34,519 --> 00:42:36,840
cade very well, could be the best defensive player on

939
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,199
the field when he's there. But I still think this

940
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,719
BA defense is top twenty five without Caid going into

941
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,199
next year, what you needed was a little bit more

942
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,760
offensive firepower. In my opinion, you had to go out

943
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,960
and replace Carson right. You had to go out and

944
00:42:51,679 --> 00:42:56,519
get better offensive lineman and and and better talent there

945
00:42:56,679 --> 00:42:59,159
and experienced talent there. You had to go out and

946
00:42:59,199 --> 00:43:02,760
find another another wide receiver you need. You need to

947
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,320
replace Chase Roberts. You gotta find a way to do that.

948
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,880
That could be Reggie Frishnet, that could be one of

949
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,039
the guys, Jojo Phillips.

950
00:43:09,039 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 4: It could be, but he had to go out and

951
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,159
get him. He was there. Kyler Casper, So.

952
00:43:12,199 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 3: To me, like like the offensive acquisitions got me, you

953
00:43:16,559 --> 00:43:19,599
know a little. It's decreased my anxiety more than like

954
00:43:20,599 --> 00:43:24,159
more than Katie coming in and in case gonna be great.

955
00:43:24,159 --> 00:43:27,000
But how many Jacob Rodriguez is are out there that

956
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:29,880
like literally win games for you via the defense. Typically

957
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,159
it's a team collective effort offensive players can timpulate. Bear

958
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,440
needs as much help as he can get this next year,

959
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,039
in my opinion, going against that Texas Tech defense.

960
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. And honestly, last week,

961
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,719
before some of these, uh these transfers came in, I

962
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,000
was thinking to myself, have we have we replaced the

963
00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:52,400
guys that are leaving? And you mentioned it Chase Roberts

964
00:43:53,559 --> 00:43:55,800
leaving on the offensive side of the ball, and I'm

965
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,159
not sure we've we've really added enough quite yet. I

966
00:43:59,159 --> 00:44:02,440
also thought about those Texas Tech games and how much

967
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,239
how much I don't want to say blame, but like,

968
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,800
was it more of an offensive line thing or was

969
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,639
it more of a lack of running back depth when

970
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:14,679
we when we lost those games? Because I can't remember what.

971
00:44:14,599 --> 00:44:15,199
Speaker 4: It was game.

972
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 3: LJ went out early, Sure, he went out early, and

973
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,440
special teams kind of lost it as well. Offense couldn't

974
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,360
move the ball and we didn't have LJ. And then

975
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:30,559
special teams kind of pooped the bed. He kind of

976
00:44:30,559 --> 00:44:32,239
pooped the back. Can you hear me now?

977
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:33,159
Speaker 4: Okay?

978
00:44:33,199 --> 00:44:37,199
Speaker 3: So I would say that that was that was the

979
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,199
bigger issue. The defense is actually pretty good versus text.

980
00:44:40,559 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely I think we forced five punts on the first game,

981
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:43,800
Is that right?

982
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:44,599
Speaker 4: Yeah?

983
00:44:45,039 --> 00:44:47,679
Speaker 5: I think I think you're right there, So I obviously

984
00:44:47,679 --> 00:44:51,079
we need to get stocked back up on on the

985
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:53,800
offensive line. We were losing some some great players there.

986
00:44:54,679 --> 00:44:56,199
I was hoping for running back.

987
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 3: Everyone wants an RB two. Yes, people think it's Devon

988
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,320
Aka the true freshman.

989
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 5: I've heard that, Yeah, I haven't. I didn't follow his career.

990
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,679
He was the kid up at Lehigh, right, yep, yep.

991
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,280
I know he's really good, but there's a big gap

992
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,920
between high school players and college players. I would love

993
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,039
for him to be able to come in and be

994
00:45:14,199 --> 00:45:18,440
an immediate contributor. I'm still holding out for Like we

995
00:45:18,519 --> 00:45:21,400
saw him do some stuff that was absolutely incredible. I

996
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,119
can't remember which game it was. I think it was

997
00:45:23,159 --> 00:45:25,920
Stanford when he got that catch where he like popped

998
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,679
it up to himself and was able to run with

999
00:45:27,679 --> 00:45:30,800
it a little bit. Further, if we can get back,

1000
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,519
I feel really comfortable with one and two, and then

1001
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,920
all we need is that third guy to step up,

1002
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:41,079
whether that's Joe Vessa, whether that's this Echa kid, But

1003
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,960
that's what I'm most concerned about. And then Chase is

1004
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,760
gonna be difficult to to to replace as well.

1005
00:45:47,119 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 4: The Kyler Casper kid.

1006
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:52,519
Speaker 5: He's interesting, he has he's very he's a very intriguing prospect,

1007
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,320
but he hasn't been able to show it because of

1008
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,960
injury and just lack of production. But you also look

1009
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,000
at those those receivers at Or again and it's like

1010
00:46:01,039 --> 00:46:03,079
he had a lot to compete with there, and so

1011
00:46:03,079 --> 00:46:06,079
it'd be interesting to see coming to a place like

1012
00:46:06,159 --> 00:46:08,840
bou if he gets a little bit more playtime. And

1013
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,320
then you mentioned as well, we haven't seen what Reggie

1014
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,679
can do at all. I mean, he was obviously they

1015
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,960
were trying I assume they were probably trying to conserve

1016
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:16,519
his was a.

1017
00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:18,679
Speaker 4: Little bit ingmed up in fall camp and never e didn't.

1018
00:46:20,079 --> 00:46:22,559
Speaker 3: It seems like we always get like these little soft

1019
00:46:22,559 --> 00:46:26,000
tissue injuries in fall camp and then they get behind

1020
00:46:26,039 --> 00:46:26,960
the eight ball a little bit.

1021
00:46:27,039 --> 00:46:28,639
Speaker 4: I think that's what happened with Reggie. But he did

1022
00:46:28,679 --> 00:46:30,559
see some pt later on.

1023
00:46:30,679 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the season, and I don't know how many

1024
00:46:34,599 --> 00:46:36,400
how many receptions he had.

1025
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 4: He only had won one for seven yards.

1026
00:46:39,159 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 5: And I remember that catch and being like, who's that

1027
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,079
guy in there? And seeing him But you hear good

1028
00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:46,119
things about him. You hear about his top end speed.

1029
00:46:46,159 --> 00:46:49,599
He's got great size, So that'll be another interesting one.

1030
00:46:49,679 --> 00:46:52,280
If I were to hedge my bets on the player

1031
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,719
that's gonna make the the biggest difference this next year,

1032
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,800
is it's gonna be Jojo. I think he's gonna be

1033
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,960
the guy that I think. I think getting injured in

1034
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,119
the middle of the season really kind of derailed his

1035
00:47:03,159 --> 00:47:05,679
season for him. We saw some great things before and

1036
00:47:05,679 --> 00:47:07,239
then it took him a while to warm back up

1037
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,400
after his injury. Yeah, but I think but he did

1038
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,639
great in the Bowl game. Yeah, So I think, Uh,

1039
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,639
I think that's gonna be it. Carson Ryan's also going

1040
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,960
to be difficult to replace, But I'm really interested to

1041
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,960
see what Walker ends up being here.

1042
00:47:20,119 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 4: I think similar body type, similar abilities. You know, six four,

1043
00:47:25,039 --> 00:47:25,840
two forty five.

1044
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 3: You need an inline flex guy, a hybrid that can

1045
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,320
do both and and that's what made Carson so specially.

1046
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,679
Speaker 4: He's a good route runner, but he's a very good blocker.

1047
00:47:37,119 --> 00:47:42,679
Speaker 3: And it's just like people don't realize that, Like how

1048
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,840
many times do we see like Carson Ryan literally like

1049
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:50,000
wide open there? He's wide open, not necessarily because he's

1050
00:47:50,039 --> 00:47:54,639
the fastest and quickest route runner. He's wide open because

1051
00:47:54,679 --> 00:47:58,800
schematically you don't know if it's a runner or pass.

1052
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,679
So like you're pre snap read the play call from

1053
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:03,960
the defensive coordinator.

1054
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:05,519
Speaker 4: It was wrong.

1055
00:48:06,519 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 3: It was wrong, and and Carson all of a sudden

1056
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,079
slips out on it like a delayed wide wheel. Is

1057
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,960
just wide open and he rumbles for you know, an

1058
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,079
additional twenty yards. It's because of his ability to be

1059
00:48:19,119 --> 00:48:20,840
an inline and flex tight end.

1060
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 4: It allows a rod to work.

1061
00:48:23,639 --> 00:48:27,119
Speaker 3: Some some some magic a little bit schematically, and the

1062
00:48:27,159 --> 00:48:29,760
defense coordinator just doesn't know, you know, if it's eleven

1063
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,679
personnel and you know Carson Ryan's out there, it's like, well,

1064
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,679
you don't know if it's a runner pass. Many times

1065
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,159
in the past when you had a particular tight end,

1066
00:48:38,199 --> 00:48:39,480
you're like, all right, it's gonna be a pass.

1067
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 4: And they can use deductive reasoning. All of you be

1068
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:42,760
with you fans out there.

1069
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 3: You've you've seen it in the past, and I see

1070
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,199
you call it out, you know, from your your armchair,

1071
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,360
from your recliner, You're like, I know it's.

1072
00:48:50,199 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 4: Gonna be a pass. It's gonna be a run. I

1073
00:48:53,039 --> 00:48:53,920
knew it.

1074
00:48:54,119 --> 00:48:57,199
Speaker 3: So one dimensional, you know, and some of that is

1075
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,760
just having the right personnel. There is a reason why

1076
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,599
it's twenty twenty b Y, you had literally like the

1077
00:49:02,639 --> 00:49:05,639
best offense in college football. Yeah, you're gonna say strength

1078
00:49:05,639 --> 00:49:07,920
to schedule, but no, Like there was also elements of

1079
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,519
having a first round NFL draft pick in a quarterback,

1080
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,960
some a supporting cast that was good in Dax Milne.

1081
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,960
But remember Isaac Rex was in his prime the ELK

1082
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:22,320
and he is that hybrid type big, strong, fast, great

1083
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,280
blocker and you.

1084
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 4: Just don't know what they're gonna do.

1085
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 3: When you have a tight end that can do it all,

1086
00:49:29,559 --> 00:49:32,360
it makes it a whole lot more dynamic that offense.

1087
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 5: Pre injury, Isaac Rex was incredible.

1088
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 3: He was awesome the NFL tight end if he doesn't

1089
00:49:38,679 --> 00:49:39,280
get injured.

1090
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:40,679
Speaker 4: And he even got a little stinted there.

1091
00:49:40,679 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 3: But that was a devastating ankle fracture dislocation at USC

1092
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:46,599
in twenty twenty one.

1093
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 4: It was devastating.

1094
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 5: It was hard to see that one.

1095
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, that one hurt. That one hurt, no doubt.

1096
00:49:51,599 --> 00:49:55,519
It reminds me we're looking for RB two. Everyone's sleeping

1097
00:49:55,519 --> 00:49:58,559
on Preston Rex. Now, I know the Rex is very

1098
00:49:58,599 --> 00:50:02,039
well and you know when you when you piss him off,

1099
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,840
you know. And and Preston could get pissed off this offseason.

1100
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:10,280
He could come back revamped, remodeled, rejuvenated and shock the

1101
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,360
world because he was in fal camp. Ronald attested as

1102
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,679
big you were there. Number twelve was getting a ton

1103
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:17,960
of reps early on.

1104
00:50:18,639 --> 00:50:19,519
Speaker 4: And he looked good.

1105
00:50:19,599 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 3: He looked good, and then he had a little soft

1106
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,159
tissue action, you know, a little hammy, you know, And

1107
00:50:24,159 --> 00:50:26,159
and and then it kind of derailed it a little bit.

1108
00:50:26,199 --> 00:50:28,679
He did get back into it, but it saw some reps,

1109
00:50:28,679 --> 00:50:31,719
but it just wasn't the same. So don't sleep on Preston,

1110
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,119
don't sleep on Presson. We'll see how it plays out,

1111
00:50:34,159 --> 00:50:34,800
no doubt about it.

1112
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 4: Guys. That's our segment.

1113
00:50:36,079 --> 00:50:38,599
