Nothing, nothing, 37 00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:57,799 I I is this. 38 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: Oh I have a friend, and yet you know the 39 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,239 entire lyrics of that song. Oh my goodness, I had 40 00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:09,800 no idea. I didn't know he recommended it. 41 00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:13,039 Speaker 4: This has been has has Let me let me start 42 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,800 this interview with the question for you, my good friend, 43 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,080 Benjamin Crittle, has this been the best college football season? 44 00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:23,159 For the resurgence of Abba Classic. 45 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: Look, I don't know about that, but I will say this, 46 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,840 it's been arguably one of the best college football seasons ever. 47 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,319 In my opinion, it just has been between the expanded playoff, 48 00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:46,039 Indiana taking it all, undefeated, Kirk Sinnetti, Fernando Mendosa right, 49 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,199 and the Abba song. It is what it is, all 50 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,080 of it combined. To me, it's one of the best 51 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,919 seasons all time. 52 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,319 Speaker 4: No, I totally agree. I mean this, this college football 53 00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:58,520 season was awesome, capped by the fact that we're talking 54 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,120 about Indiana in the Freakingana as you're twenty twenty five, 55 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:07,319 I guess twenty twenty six now twenty twenty five season 56 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:10,479 national champions like, it's amazing, like Indiana. Do you realize then, 57 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:18,000 Indiana was the losingest top level football program up until 58 00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:20,319 I think earlier this year, or maybe it was late 59 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,719 last year. It was one of the two sometime during 60 00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:25,159 this Kurt signety era. It was very very late last year, 61 00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:26,960 or like one of the first weeks of this year, 62 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,400 they were the losingest top division college football program of 63 00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:34,479 all time. I believe they're number two now, so they're 64 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,120 they're officially kind of out of that spot. It's a 65 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,039 MAC team that's actually number one. I can't even remember 66 00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:42,719 who it is anymore. But like the fact that we're 67 00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:46,039 talking about the powerhouse that is Kurt Signety in Indiana 68 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,960 in the year where there were no SEC teams in 69 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,639 the National Championship Game for the second straight season that 70 00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:59,879 there were, that the last SECS team standing was like 71 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,360 the fourth best team in the league in all miss 72 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,360 Like we're talking about two group of five programs that 73 00:04:07,639 --> 00:04:13,560 made the college football Playoff. Like it's just I don't 74 00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,639 I don't understand why anybody in this sport wants to 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,519 go beyond the current twelve team playoffs that we currently 76 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,439 that that we're currently in because we just played an 77 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:26,360 absolute banger of a season kept by a banger of 78 00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:29,040 a postseason, and for some reason we want to go 79 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,720 and do something and screw it all up again. Like 80 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,759 this sport it confounds me sometimes then it really does. 81 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,439 It absolutely confounds me. But let's celebrate what we had 82 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,720 for a little bit, Kelly. 83 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,519 Speaker 2: Let's go Sean Walker casel dot com. What have you 84 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,800 been writing about recently? 85 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 3: Sean? 86 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: What can we find on the KSHL dot com webshite 87 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,199 with your authorship. 88 00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, do you do you want to celebrate 89 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,639 last season and you want to look ahead to next year, 90 00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:53,439 because I think most people ufens right now are trying 91 00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,560 to look at to next year. We're all over the 92 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,480 transfer portal, we're talking, we're talking about the end of 93 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,720 the year. This was here's a good one for you. 94 00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:07,720 So BYU number eleven, I think you guys probably I'm 95 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,680 assuming you guys probably talked about it a little bit earlier. 96 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:18,600 Should we get into the top top twelve postseason Cougar's 97 00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:21,319 twelve and two for the first time, and what's it 98 00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:23,560 been twenty four years? I think it's been twelve one 99 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,639 campaign for the first time in twenty four years. I 100 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:29,800 mean a program that is getting stronger under Kline Sataki, 101 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,879 who's locked up for the long term. Boy, a couple 102 00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:35,160 of weeks ago, that would have been a sentence to say, 103 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,399 wasn't it. I mean this, like we talked about the 104 00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:41,959 strength of college football, BYU's adapting to the new era 105 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,560 of college football, I think, very very well and setting 106 00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:49,319 itself up for really good success potentially as soon as 107 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,600 next year. Like I really like with this team is 108 00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:53,920 that I really like where the state of the game 109 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,759 is at oh, we'll all we can talk about whether 110 00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:58,279 or not the current state of college football is sustainable. 111 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,800 There are programs right now that are sustaining themselves very 112 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,319 well in college football, and I think YU is trying 113 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:07,519 to prove it's darnedas that it is one of those 114 00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:11,360 programs that wants to sit towards or near the top 115 00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:13,920 of the sport and kind of be in that that 116 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:14,680 upper class. 117 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: If you will look, way too early top twenty five 118 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,399 season is here right after the national championship game. It 119 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,480 all settles right, and every it's talking about the way 120 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,600 too early top twenty five BYU is hovering in that 121 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,279 thirteen twelve, eleven ten range. 122 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,519 Speaker 3: PFF had him at ten. 123 00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 4: I think ESPN ten had them at like eight or nine, 124 00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:37,240 and their way too early to twenty five. 125 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: I have it right here. 126 00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:43,079 Speaker 2: Well, Mark Slabuk has him at number eleven. He states this, 127 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,680 do you agree or disagree with the spot? Eleventh? Okay, 128 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,959 obviously they're twelve and two eight won a big twelve 129 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,920 play Key starters expected to leave Isaiah Johda, Waitland Lapuaho, Carson, 130 00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:56,000 Ryan Chase Roberts, Tanderwall, John To mcpeo Logan with. 131 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 3: Twoy Jack Kelly. 132 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: We're still waiting to see if John to mcpeo hired 133 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:01,639 a lawyer and can get his eligibility back. 134 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 3: We'll see how that plays out. 135 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: Key additions Kadu ou Lave, Jay Clifton, zakiy Alamouchi, Pockey, 136 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,279 Fenout Walker, Lyons, Kyler, Casper Junior, Sia, et cetera. 137 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:12,839 Speaker 3: There's a number of guys there. This is what he says. 138 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty six outlook, the Cougar's won eleven games or 139 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,399 more for the second straight season. Their biggest victory might 140 00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:21,879 have been locking up coach Kalani Satake, who turned down 141 00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:24,079 the Penn State job to manage his alma mater. The 142 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,879 Cougars have a good core of star players. Quarterback Bear Blockmeer, 143 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,279 tail back L. J. Martin leading the way on offense. 144 00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:31,519 By you signed a trio of experience transfers to shore 145 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,879 up its offensive line, and they look to help open 146 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,480 holes for Martin, obviously, who led the Big twelve with 147 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,160 one thousand and three out of five rushing yards in 148 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,680 twenty twenty five. Two of the top three receivers must 149 00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:45,240 be replaced. Defense coordinator J hill In quarnerbacks coach jan 150 00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:47,720 Or Guildford left to join Kyle Witningham staff at Michigan. 151 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,720 Sataki promoted special teams coordinator and defense end coach Kevin 152 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,000 Pingatt the defense at Boise States. Tomorrow, Warren was hired 153 00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:57,680 as cornerbacks coach. So number eleven, do you think that's 154 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,480 an accurate depiction of who b YU is headed into 155 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,920 twenty twenty six? 156 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 4: I mean, I think, if anything, it's maybe underrating BYU, 157 00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:07,879 but b YU it's nothing if not a team that 158 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,560 kind of likes to be a little of aner rated 159 00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:12,079 right like this. This is a team that looked like 160 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,439 a top ten team down the stretch with a lot 161 00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:17,879 of questions. I mean, this was a team that went 162 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,439 into the highest rated by the Way non playoff bowl 163 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,120 game of the postseason, and the Pop Tarts Bowl, one 164 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,879 of the few postseason games that included two top twenty 165 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,639 five bonents win number twenty two Georgia Tech and BYU. 166 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,279 Won that game and won that game pretty not handily. 167 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,960 They didn't went going away by any means. It was 168 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,360 very tight down the stretch, but they won it very physically, 169 00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:45,600 and they won it physically without that aforementioned LJ. Martin 170 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,320 without Jack Kelly and the defense without some of their 171 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,320 top defenders being out for a neard of reasons. Now, 172 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,919 they did still have bear Blockmeyer and he's resigned. Rey 173 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,799 up for another year. 174 00:08:59,080 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: LJ. 175 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 4: Martin's coming back for his senior season. He's passing on, 176 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,039 in my opinion, a jury. He's an NFL draft pick 177 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,120 right now. Uh, he probably would get selected. I don't 178 00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:11,039 know around. I don't want to protect too much because 179 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,159 he's not going to be out of any of these 180 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,279 monks because he's coming back. But this is a guy 181 00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:16,759 who would probably find a spot in the NFL this 182 00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:19,639 year right now, and he's coming back for another year. 183 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,840 And then all of that talent on the offensive line. 184 00:09:23,919 --> 00:09:27,159 They're still bringing back Andrew Entry at left tackle. That's 185 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,200 kind of important, right They're still bringing back Bruce Mitchell 186 00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:34,840 their starting center. They added a plethora of offensive linemen 187 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,519 and then guys like Pocky s Now from Washington, Junior 188 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,759 Siah from Utah State, Zakia Maluchi from Stanford, former Bischem 189 00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:46,519 Corman product. There remember a couple of years I remember 190 00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:48,559 a couple of years ago, we were talking about a 191 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,120 certain four star recruit that BYU was giving a kind 192 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,320 of a second crack ad in some ways because he 193 00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:59,360 was coming home from a mission to offload Norway. You 194 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,200 remember remember for that guy ended up signing with USC 195 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,360 had a pretty nice couple of seasons there. He's now 196 00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:10,639 coming over via the transfer portal. You want to talk 197 00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:15,559 about replacing reliable white wide receiver in uh in Chase Roberts, Well, 198 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,039 they just where. They got a kid from Oregon and 199 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,399 Kyler Casper who's coming back over. They got another pretty 200 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:24,000 good line uh uh pass catcher, tight end and Roger 201 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,639 Chalie Aponda from Orum who's coming home like this. Oh 202 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,000 and by the way, arguably the best linebacker in the portal, 203 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,559 Calcado Luise, a local kid from Mountain Ridge High School 204 00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:37,639 out in Harriman, also coming back to b Y. So 205 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,159 this is this is a team I think that has 206 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,080 everything set, including its head coach, offensive coordinator, and the 207 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,639 entire offense staff that's been doing what they've been doing 208 00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:51,360 for the last year with Bear Bodmeyer, for the year 209 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,120 before that with Jaquila, with all of the quarterbacks before that. 210 00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:59,600 They're all coming back as well. I see no reason 211 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,080 why this can't be a top ten team going into 212 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,840 the preseason. Now top ten teams in the preseason. We 213 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,639 talked about it every year, what do they actually mean? 214 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,720 They're worth about as much as the paper. They're way 215 00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:12,759 mon right, They don't actually mean anything until you go 216 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,879 out and you prove it and now be why. You 217 00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:16,759 also have the schedule I think where they can prove 218 00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:19,799 that they're a top ten team a couple of weeks 219 00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:22,720 ago when they brought when they added a home game 220 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,480 against Notre's game to beef up some of that schedule. 221 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:27,639 They also go tow Color out of state, which I 222 00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:30,679 think will be a pretty decent contender or could be 223 00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:34,679 a kind of a middle mid range contender in their 224 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,120 first year in the new Pac twelve, I mean, plus 225 00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:42,519 that Big twelve schedule as well. So like this, this 226 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,320 is a team that I think should be hovering right 227 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,879 around the top ten to start the year, and they've 228 00:11:47,919 --> 00:11:49,679 got everything in front of them to prove that they're 229 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,600 one of those top ten teams and could pretend when 230 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,320 they could earn a spot in the cost of a playoffs. 231 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,440 In twenty twenty. 232 00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:58,759 Speaker 2: Six, you mentioned a few of these tight ends. It 233 00:11:58,799 --> 00:12:01,200 looks like that's been a priority of the transfer portal. 234 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,559 With four star tight end Walker lines four star tight 235 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:05,399 end Roger Sally Pocket coming. 236 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 3: Too, b Yu. 237 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: It begs the question how much twelve personal do we 238 00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:13,039 foresee being showcased on the Great Iron at Lavell Edwards 239 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,919 Stadium this year? With Walker, Roger and of course Kean 240 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,399 Needs still on the roster too, and a couple other 241 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,279 guys that could make their way into the competition. 242 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, and there could be a lot, right, I mean, 243 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,480 I think the short answer is as much as offensive 244 00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:31,559 coordinator Aaron Roder wants to run or run game coordinator 245 00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:34,480 and offensive line coach TJ. Woods wants to run, right, 246 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,279 I mean the strength of this BYU often hopefully you know, 247 00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:43,200 you hope to see another year of progression in bear Backmeyer. 248 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,000 He was able to show that he could make a 249 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,159 lot of really good throws, I think, especially in the 250 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,600 back half of his freshman year, and even in that 251 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,519 that pop Tart full game where he very clearly wasn't 252 00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:56,960 his usual self into football, whether that was by scheme, 253 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,320 by injury, maybe a little bit of both, he showed 254 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,759 that he can make a lot of pretty good growth, 255 00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:05,759 but he still got making it before bent that all 256 00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:08,720 Big Twelve, that Big Twelve Offensive Player of the Year, 257 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:14,960 the Big twelve rushing yardage when they're in LJ. Martin 258 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,519 coming back, Like, this is going to be a team 259 00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:18,960 that wants to run the ball, and they're gonna run 260 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,279 the ball, and then they're gonna run it some more, 261 00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:23,000 and then when they're tired of running it, they're probably 262 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,679 gonna run out a little bit more than that. Like 263 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,639 they're gonna want to run the ball a lot. I 264 00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:29,919 could see a lot of twelve, maybe even thirteen personnel 265 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,960 out there, like I mean this, Yeah, I think I 266 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,200 think the short answer is as much as Aaron Rodger 267 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,320 kN Kolin Ezac want to run like this is going 268 00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:44,759 to be a very one heavy run oriented team that, 269 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,480 by the way, also happens to have a couple of 270 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,159 nice quarterbacks as well, like Perkarten Sindo the Phillips coming back, 271 00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:56,240 Kyler Kasper coming in from Oregon, and Walker Lyons by 272 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,080 the way, breaking pass catchers when he was a USC 273 00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:02,000 as well, caught a couple of toutsound last year. So 274 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,399 I think I think they're I think they're on the 275 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:05,919 up and up. 276 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:12,039 Speaker 2: Love the breakdown and yes, I'm excited too about these acquisitions. 277 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,320 Is there is there a specific acquisition that that cochrenations 278 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,480 should be most excited about in your opinion? 279 00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:22,799 Speaker 4: Uh, can I give you two? But it's in one 280 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,279 position because I mentioned a little bit of Kadu Luave. 281 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,159 I had a chance to cover kid when he was 282 00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:30,159 in high school at Mountains, which this kid is a baller, 283 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,879 six foot one, two hundred thirty five pounds played. He's 284 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,879 a little bit of an inside linebacker who's not afraid 285 00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:39,519 to rush the passer as well. He's a two way 286 00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:43,360 star at mallen Ridge though a thousand yard rusher at 287 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,159 running backs. I mean I thought when he In fact, 288 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,519 I remember talking to him why around signing game when 289 00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:51,879 he committed to cow I asked him if there was 290 00:14:51,919 --> 00:14:53,759 any chance of him playing two ways for playing a 291 00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:56,360 little bit of offense. He said, well, whatever coach Willcox 292 00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:58,519 wants me to play, I'll play. But I'm not he said, 293 00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:01,200 I'm not opposed to it. So he's not opposed to 294 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,960 playing two ways. I think if Lani or a Rod 295 00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:07,840 or new defensive coordinate Kelly Pabing to want to work 296 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,000 something out there, maybe there's some possibility right there, like 297 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:14,759 this is an absolute athlete, a stud, a baller. But 298 00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:19,039 I don't think anybody's talking enough about the other linebacker 299 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,720 transfer that EYU added as well in Kansas State, Jake Cliff, 300 00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:27,039 And now he's he's coming home from a church mission 301 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,519 in Nicolagua. I'm sure that's the big reason why he's 302 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,360 offing to transfer to BYU from Kansas State. That in 303 00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:37,919 the fact that his former head coach has retired and 304 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,399 there's going to be a whole bunch of changes out 305 00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:43,080 there in Manhattan. But I think day Cliff and Clifton 306 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,879 is very quietly a nice pick up for a team 307 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,200 that that yes, they're losing Jack Kelly, but they're bringing 308 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,279 back the other two pieces of kind of their three 309 00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:57,039 headed linebacker monster and Isaiah Glaska and Sarah Like, the 310 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,960 strength of this team is still probably going to be linebackers. 311 00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:04,320 Kelly Lavinia has a very good track record of developing linebackers, 312 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,120 by the way, you know, the guys who whose protegees 313 00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:09,600 include guys like Kyle that nooy and talk to talk. 314 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,159 You know, there's uh So I think this linebacker group 315 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:16,159 could be as good on the whole as it was 316 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,159 last year, even losing a guy like the generational player 317 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,960 and Jack Kelly, Like, I think they they're they're at 318 00:16:23,039 --> 00:16:25,919 least as good and probably even a little bit better 319 00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:28,000 with the Luve and Jay Clifton. 320 00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:33,519 Speaker 2: Some great acquisitions. Uh any of the attricians keeping you 321 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:34,200 up at night? 322 00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 4: Oh you know, I hate losing anybody. 323 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,639 Speaker 2: Ben, Come on now, you know I'm just saying, you know, 324 00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:42,279 if you're if you're a b YU fan, b a 325 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:42,759 you coach? 326 00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:45,039 Speaker 3: Are you looking at that like a man? Why? Like 327 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,360 is GMT like to stay shot through the heart? You 328 00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:48,120 know that one hurt? 329 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 4: Yeah? No, I mean I think I think there are 330 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,759 a couple, uh several of these several of these players, 331 00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:59,080 like you understand why they're leaving. I think they're mostly 332 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,000 looking at playing time or a lack of playing time 333 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,119 in their current position. I'm thinking of guys like McKay 334 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,480 Hill said, the quarterback from Skyridge High School who's going 335 00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:10,759 back to Utah State. He probably just wasn't saying he 336 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,920 playing time behind bear Backmeyer, who's younger than him going 337 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,440 into the sophomore season. So I don't blame McKay for leaving, 338 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,039 although that one urns. I really like McKay, like him 339 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:23,559 as a person, like him as an individual, also like 340 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,079 him as a football player. So I'm a little bit 341 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,599 saddened to see him go, but I think it's probably 342 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,079 for the best of him. Davian Beasley I kind of 343 00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:33,799 feel the same way. I feel like tavie On Beasley 344 00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:35,960 was the guy who was just starting to scratch the 345 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,160 surface a little bit midway through the year that Nickel 346 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,279 spot at cornerback. Now he's headed east to go play 347 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,680 at South Florida, And you know what, you wish these 348 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,200 guys all the best, right once a. 349 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: Career, always a cooiter is not what you'd like to 350 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,000 say say. 351 00:17:50,039 --> 00:17:53,279 Speaker 4: I think that I think there are two players that 352 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,720 would have seen significant time next year, and they're both 353 00:17:57,799 --> 00:18:03,480 going to be playing in power force systems that I 354 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,759 don't know what YU fans are like hurt or being 355 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,319 kept up at night with these guys, because again, you 356 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,880 probably understand some of why they're transferring out. But one 357 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,599 of them is offensive tackled Jake Griffin. He was a 358 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,599 rotational piece last year and I thought he was going 359 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,680 to be even more in the rotations this year. He 360 00:18:19,839 --> 00:18:23,319 just signed with Arizona, going back home so to speak. 361 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,200 He's from the Mesa area, so he's just one hundred 362 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,880 miles down the road in Tucson, gonna be gonna be playing, 363 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,680 It's gonna be staying in the big twelve. 364 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: I think I think. 365 00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:34,279 Speaker 4: Jake's a guy who who probably would have seen decent time, 366 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,279 maybe not starting next year, but certainly as a as 367 00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:40,960 a very high rotational piece on that offensive line. And 368 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,799 then the other one's pretty obvious. It's Mac Golford, the 369 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,799 fifth year senior out of Park City, former Utah State transfer. 370 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,480 Now he's headed over to Michigan joining Jay Hill. So 371 00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:59,079 j Hill didn't completely leave Yu's roster free from transfer, 372 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,400 as he is bringing along Max s Afford with Max 373 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,279 also has a very close relationship with Kyle Wadingham through 374 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,640 his late father who coached under Kyle up at the 375 00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:14,039 U as well. So those those are probably two of 376 00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:16,519 the bigger ones. I mean, I think Dom and Mark 377 00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:20,640 and McKenzie are really nice pieces that are maybe a 378 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,000 little bit unfortunate Marcus in particular as a gunner as 379 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,440 well as the cornerback. But again that's I mean, that's 380 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,519 the two way shreated the transfer portal, Right, Like, if 381 00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:35,240 you're going to use it and try to acquire new 382 00:19:35,279 --> 00:19:37,799 talent and then see where you can get better, you 383 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,319 also have to be willing to take the risk that 384 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,880 you might lose somebody that you respect or that you need. 385 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,839 And I think there are a couple of guys like that, 386 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,160 Schaber and Strauthers, another kind of late one to the portals. 387 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,640 That's that's still floating around out there. Really going to 388 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,720 miss that guy personally, But that's I mean, that's that's 389 00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:55,880 just the risk of the transfer portal. But you kind 390 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,960 of have to accept, like, if you want to use 391 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,279 the portal, then you need to be you need to 392 00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:03,160 be cognizant of the fact that it's probably gonna be 393 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,640 used against you as well. So do I think b 394 00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:09,880 YU lost absolutely nothing to the portal. No, I don't 395 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,240 think that's true at all. I think they lost some 396 00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:14,519 absolute talent. But I also think they gained enough talent 397 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,279 to make up for what they lost and probably then 398 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,160 thumb out to make up for some of what they 399 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,440 lost to graduation. 400 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,039 Speaker 2: You know which one I hate, like you know, I wish. 401 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,440 I think he could have been very very good for 402 00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:30,000 BYU this year and even next year. If you're looking 403 00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:34,839 at wants needs on the roster, I think Polka Hungah, 404 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,799 you know, leaving and granted, there's some things that are 405 00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:40,640 extenuating circumstances. He's gonna have to leave right and he's 406 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,279 got to take his talents elsewhere. But that one, to 407 00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:47,240 me hurts man that he's not able to play, not 408 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,480 eligible to play at b YU. We need running backs, baby, 409 00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:53,400 LJ is a dude. We need a little lightning to 410 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,680 the thunder though, you know what I. 411 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 4: Mean, Oh, Poke would have been an absolutely huge need. 412 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,640 And I guess it's hard for me to consider Poke 413 00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:03,319 as like this transfer portal when those decisions is because 414 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,480 of when he left right there in fall camp and everything, Like, 415 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,200 can you imagine that Poke I had been that backup, 416 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,039 that RB two behind LJ this past year, Like, I 417 00:21:13,279 --> 00:21:16,599 think that would have been absolutely massive. So, you know, 418 00:21:16,759 --> 00:21:20,279 there was I think initially I think I'm okay to 419 00:21:20,319 --> 00:21:23,319 say this now at this point because he's he's not 420 00:21:23,319 --> 00:21:25,480 coming back, he's officially important on all that, But there 421 00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:27,960 was initially maybe a little bit of hope that he 422 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,920 could figure out some things and work out some things 423 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,680 to be able to come back and rejoin BYU. But 424 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,839 that's obviously not going to be the case anymore. I think, boy, 425 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,720 you could use a guy like him, But I you know, 426 00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:40,599 if you also want to talk about the next man 427 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,759 of mentality. I think you know, he found a pretty 428 00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:44,720 good next man up and Joe that sit the mooney 429 00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:49,160 in particular in that Bowl game, So maybe things end 430 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,079 up kind of riding themselves out in a little bit 431 00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:54,319 of ways. I also want to be shocked. Remember the 432 00:21:54,319 --> 00:21:57,640 transfer portal is closed, but players that are in the 433 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,759 portal still you know, they've all got to find somewhere 434 00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:04,519 to go as well. So I want to be shocked 435 00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:06,359 and maybe be why you kind of kick the tires 436 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,519 at some of those running backs that are still floating 437 00:22:09,519 --> 00:22:12,160 around the portal, especially to see if there's somebody who's 438 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,960 okay maybe taking a little bit of that lightning to 439 00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:19,319 LJ Marns thunder that RB two goal to him as well, 440 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,200 because LG can tote the rock a lot, but maybe 441 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,400 he doesn't want to carry the ball thirty times a 442 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,400 game this year, and I think you'd probably be okay 443 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,079 with that going to his going into the senior tear 444 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:33,920 in as well. So don't be shocked to bey you 445 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,119 maybe pick some tires around a little bit through the 446 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,559 rest of this offseason. 447 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,319 Speaker 3: Sean Walker.

Our final segment will welcome 475 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,160 in to the show Jared Bledsoe, former BAI wide receiver 476 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,319 and talks some Cougar football. 477 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 3: This is Cougar Sports. 478 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,759 Speaker 2: One of three nine ninety eight point three eat institution, 479 00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:01,480 former BLI widest Jared Bledshow on the line Detection of 480 00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:03,079 college football with me, Jared, how thatck are you? 481 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 3: Buddy? 482 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,039 Speaker 1: I'm doing well man, Thank you, hey. 483 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 2: I appreciate you hopping on man number one college football 484 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,039 playoff college football Championship game. Many people said that college 485 00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:21,599 football was broken, that it was this nil transporportal era 486 00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:26,799 is ruining the sport. I just saw the losingest college 487 00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:30,200 football program in history win a national championship. To me, 488 00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:33,960 that's a sign that all is well in college football. 489 00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:37,839 Speaker 1: Zion, Yeah, I would agree with that. I think that 490 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,119 we're in a really good spot right now for college 491 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,799 so I did. I still think that the nil and 492 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,359 the transfer port on things need to be regulated in 493 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,039 a little bit more consistent year to year, you know, 494 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,920 And but I think that there needs to be some 495 00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:57,680 changes to that playoff system, and I think that they're 496 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,640 going to make some really good changes. You know, when 497 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,920 you watch some of these games, all the playoff games 498 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,279 tend to be almost sellouts, you know, But then you 499 00:25:06,319 --> 00:25:08,319 watch most of the ball games, and the Billiams tend 500 00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:10,319 to not be you know, there's not some of those 501 00:25:10,319 --> 00:25:14,039 games where you know, it was players, families and friends 502 00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:16,240 and that was about it, you know. And so it 503 00:25:16,279 --> 00:25:19,039 would be fun to see a bigger playoff where there's 504 00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:22,519 a lot more home games involved, you know, there's incentives 505 00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:25,400 for fan bases to come and show up, and and 506 00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:26,720 I think that'd be a lot of fun if we 507 00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:29,799 had a few more weeks of potentially home games moving forward. 508 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,000 But yeah, I think it's great. It's great that you 509 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,359 can take a program like Indiana and do what you 510 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,759 did in such a short period of time. But the 511 00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:39,920 best part about that story to me is not that 512 00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:44,079 they weren't winning just a few years ago. It's just 513 00:25:44,079 --> 00:25:46,359 the fact that how they did it this year and 514 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,599 the players they have on their roster right now, the 515 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,559 three Stars, the two stars to no stars, and all 516 00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:55,720 these guys that come together and just battle it out 517 00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:59,400 and become the best team in the country. When you know, 518 00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:02,839 it's everyone's fighting for the five star, the four star 519 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,960 and expecting these guys to come in and change their program. 520 00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:08,279 And they're willing to pay millions of dollars before they 521 00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:11,720 take a single snap, catch a single pass, you know. 522 00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:15,160 So it's fun to see the competitive nature out there. 523 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,920 That's not one bot, you know. 524 00:26:18,079 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 3: Yep, no doubt about it. It was.

I don't know if you were 544 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,839 to text him communicate with him, but what a great 545 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,400 season it was, and uh, you know, and and unfortunately, uh, 546 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,680 they just fell short versus the storybook ending Hoosiers. 547 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,559 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and I hope he's done enough. 548 00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 5: You know. 549 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,039 Speaker 1: I remember a. 550 00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 5: Couple of years ago in a conversation that he and 551 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,119 I had here at at the shop and just discussing 552 00:27:39,319 --> 00:27:41,880 how how to become the guy and get noticed and 553 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,880 make people believe. 554 00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:46,599 Speaker 1: In him if they aren't believing, force him to believe, 555 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,000 you know. And he did that, you know, he made 556 00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:51,319 people believe in him. And then he and then when 557 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,799 people put their money in for him, he backed at 558 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,480 you know, so super proud of what he's been able 559 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,920 to do. I hope he gets some shots at the 560 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,279 next level, you know. And that kind of slot position guy, 561 00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:04,200 I think is a really can be a real valuable receiver. 562 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,000 But it's tough, man, and it sounds tough, you know, 563 00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:09,960 it's a tough. It's a factory. And these guys, you know, 564 00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:13,960 they I hope they all take advantage of the opportunity 565 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,799 to play college football, you know, And maximize their time. 566 00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 2: Last year, we lost twenty I think twenty six guys 567 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:26,759 to the portal. The ones that hurt the most obviously Keelan, 568 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,920 Josh Singh, Harrison Taggart hurt. I want to say, I'm 569 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,400 trying to think of what other guys kind of kind 570 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,440 of hurt, but those are like the tother crew Wakely 571 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:38,480 to maybe Purdue. 572 00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 3: That one kind of hurt a little bit. 573 00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:43,039 Speaker 2: We saw Michael Harper go to the grizz and Cody 574 00:28:43,039 --> 00:28:46,200 EPs go to Western Kentucky, Miles Davis to Utah State. 575 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,440 We could have used Miles Davis this last season, I'll 576 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,640 be honest like that, like looking back at it like that, 577 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,119 that one kind of hurt the Miles Davis because Miles 578 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,440 Miles had a decent season for Utah State. So we're 579 00:28:58,519 --> 00:29:00,960 kind of rehashing it here. Let me look at his 580 00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:03,119 stats real quick for Utah State. I thought he had 581 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,599 a pretty gosh dang good season all things considered. Yeah, 582 00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:11,000 one hundred and thirty one carries, seven and thirty one yards, 583 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:16,480 eight touchdowns, five point six yards per carry, and then 584 00:29:16,519 --> 00:29:19,119 he had twenty eight receptions two hundre one yards seven 585 00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:21,920 point two yards per reception and three touchdowns. 586 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,599 Speaker 3: Man, I'm looking back at this. 587 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,599 Speaker 2: Obviously Keelan hurt like and maybe he hurt the most, 588 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,079 but but maybe a close second was Miles Davis here. 589 00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:34,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if you could have predicted and been 590 00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:37,480 able to see what the opportunities would have been for 591 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,480 him at the YU moving forward, I mean, real, real 592 00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:43,200 tough position to be in, knowing that he's got all 593 00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:45,519 those guys in front of him. You know, he might 594 00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:47,839 might have had some other guys coming back as well, 595 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,200 and so you know, he made a good decision for 596 00:29:51,319 --> 00:29:53,519 himself at the time with the information that he had 597 00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:56,279 for sure. But yeah, I think he was you know, 598 00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:59,000 he was a he's a really really fast athlete, and 599 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,119 then he put on some weight and got bigger and stronger. 600 00:30:03,559 --> 00:30:05,319 I don't know how much that affected his speed, but 601 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,839 he's just a real quick guy. So I always thought 602 00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:12,240 he was going to be a star here at b YU, man. 603 00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: And so this year not as impactful as you're looking 604 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,039 at those players that have entered the portal. 605 00:30:19,079 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 3: We've discussed this with you. 606 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,039 Speaker 2: We've got thirteen right now, Shay Bryant, Strawther Polka Jung, 607 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,119 Max Alferd, Tavian Beasley, Cioni, can Gato, Sonny Twala, Tucker 608 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,519 kellerher Icanassio Tupo, le Mason Waller, the Third, McKay, Hillstead, 609 00:30:35,799 --> 00:30:38,960 Marcus Mackenzie, Jay Griffin and Tom mackenzie. Out of those guys, 610 00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:40,720 who do you think is going to be the most 611 00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:43,920 impactful leaving BYU. 612 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,599 Speaker 1: That's a good question, man, I mean most of those guys. 613 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,000 I think kay On Biz would be your most productive 614 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,799 player in that group right for this last season. 615 00:30:56,319 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, he played a lot. 616 00:30:58,319 --> 00:31:01,839 Speaker 1: I mean other than that, I mean it's it's hard 617 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,480 to say. It's hard to say who's going to be 618 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,799 the if there's even a que and Marian in that 619 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,640 group that's going to go to that next team and 620 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,160 just you know, or Josh Seeing or somebody you know, 621 00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:14,079 or if you're going to deal with you know, issues 622 00:31:14,119 --> 00:31:17,400 like Crew Wakeley's had to face, you know. So grasses 623 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:24,559 are always greener. I think that opportunity comes sometimes to 624 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,359 those who stick it out and fight through it instead 625 00:31:27,359 --> 00:31:29,319 of chasing the opportunity. I think that that's kind of 626 00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:31,480 what football has become a little bit, is chasing the 627 00:31:31,519 --> 00:31:36,519 opportunity versus becoming getting the opportunity and becoming that guy 628 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,119 you know. So I don't know. I think we've got 629 00:31:40,119 --> 00:31:43,440 a lot to figure out with MCAA and and but 630 00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:46,480 I would love to see something that showed these where 631 00:31:46,519 --> 00:31:50,240 these kids had some kind of commitment to the colleges 632 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,000 that they signed with to where there's a consequence for 633 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,799 leaving per se, you know, not maybe not like we 634 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,799 had where you had to sit out a year, but 635 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,839 maybe if it's just second or third transfer that have 636 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,799 some consequence like that, you know, that may force some 637 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,480 of these guys to tough it out and go earn 638 00:32:08,519 --> 00:32:09,440 your spots. 639 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,119 Speaker 2: Jared Bledshoe here on your Utah ESPN Radio Network one 640 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,400 of three nine ninety eight point three look you own 641 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,000 operate Utah Protective Films.

I mean he 659 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,559 was flirtatious with almost almost a thousand yards receiving this year. 660 00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:18,000 He was just a hair under it, maybe by about 661 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,680 eighty yards or so. Well, looked really good in the 662 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:21,480 return game. 663 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: You know. 664 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 2: One of the things is like with Keelan leaving, it 665 00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:30,240 allowed Parker to kind of step up and have a 666 00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:34,480 great season as a punt returner. As a wide receiver, 667 00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:36,440 I wonder if he can be that guy, if he 668 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,119 can be that dude, that wide receiver one. 669 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,079 Speaker 1: I think he definitely can. He has the ability to 670 00:33:42,119 --> 00:33:44,440 do it. I mean, what he had a great year 671 00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:49,039 where I don't think dance vacation was quite what he did. 672 00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:52,240 I think he really proves a lot of us that 673 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,079 he was. He's a lot more than just a speedy 674 00:33:55,079 --> 00:33:58,640 athlete that can return a punt, you know, so very 675 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,640 smart in the game. I mean, he was a quarterback 676 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,599 in high school, right, so he understands the defense a 677 00:34:03,599 --> 00:34:06,480 little bit more, understands kind of where to sit down, 678 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,519 where the holes are because he was thrown to those right. 679 00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:12,280 So it's a great great to see him there. I 680 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:18,079 think he can be that guy. Yeah, it's going to 681 00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:21,320 be an exciting room and an exciting group to see 682 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,119 how the receivers all come out and battle this spring. 683 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,679 I'm excited for screen ball, man. You know it's I 684 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,280 keep saying it. It's the most competitive, most fun football 685 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,000 I think I've ever played in my life, because you've 686 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,039 got everybody either wants to prove they should be there 687 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,440 and in that number one spot, or they're trying to 688 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,320 take out that number one guy. So it's a lot 689 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:40,719 of fun. 690 00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 2: Do you think a rod in the offense you're going 691 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,840 to acquire any more portal talent? Do you think they 692 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,440 they'll get an RB two Do you think they'll I mean, 693 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,199 there's only nine guys. They went out and got three 694 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,280 offensive linemen, they got two tight ends, they got one 695 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,719 wide wide receiver, and so a lot of these guys 696 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,000 are all offensive unit players. Do you think they add 697 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,199 any more on the offensive side. 698 00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure that they have some other guys who they 699 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,000 have their eyes on. And and I think at this point 700 00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:14,400 it gets real strategic with who you bring in and 701 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,920 how you you know, the guys that aren't signed now 702 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,599 there there, you know, I wonder, you know, maybe add 703 00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:25,039 some players that have been through this. But when does 704 00:35:25,079 --> 00:35:29,239 the panic sit in? Right? When does when do you go, Dude, 705 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,800 I've better get on a team now or I'm not 706 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,320 going to go into spring and I'm not going to 707 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,559 be on a team. Right, So I feel like there's 708 00:35:35,599 --> 00:35:37,960 going to be some panic that sits in with with players. 709 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,760 There has to be at some point. There's just too 710 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,719 many of them in the portal. And but yeah, I 711 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,599 wonder if that's when the strategy is to come in 712 00:35:46,639 --> 00:35:48,519 and grab a few of the guys at a much 713 00:35:48,519 --> 00:35:53,639 better deal at that point, right, Because there's money involved now, right, 714 00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:55,800 So everyone's trying to find the most strategic way to 715 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,159 get the best deal for the best player at the 716 00:35:58,159 --> 00:36:02,000 best time. And and it's such a new market that 717 00:36:02,199 --> 00:36:07,760 every every detail is important and to figure out when 718 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,840 those times are and how to how to kind of 719 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:10,639 run that cycle. 720 00:36:11,119 --> 00:36:15,559 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you look at the Troy Taylor firing and 721 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,239 how end opportune it was for Stanford, like not the 722 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:27,360 best timing and b YU benefited from that greatly, right Like. 723 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 3: The black Myers came to b YU. 724 00:36:31,519 --> 00:36:35,119 Speaker 2: He was fired in March, I think towards the end 725 00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:38,920 of springball. Right after springball. It's like, oh my gosh, 726 00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:42,119 like and by passed. 727 00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 1: They thought they should have done it and they didn't 728 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,800 do it, and then they were not doing it and 729 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,079 they had to just get it done, you know that? 730 00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:54,800 But yeah, so that there's yeah, you never know, yeah, 731 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,599 you never I mean that's when we lost Qielan. It 732 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:01,079 was after springball, you know, So there are there are 733 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,079 there's going to be more movement and uh but I 734 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,880 don't they limited now though that it has to be 735 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,320 at this point you can't go in the portal unless 736 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,519 it's a coaching change. Am I Am I wrong on that? 737 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,360 Or is that? Yeah? 738 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 3: Now it's closed? 739 00:37:17,559 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 2: But like technically, I mean they could they could probably 740 00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:23,599 submit a waiver and threatened to sue and I mean 741 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,719 sure they could totally do that and maybe they get 742 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,440 a waiver for whatever reason, but I'm sure the NCAA 743 00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:31,920 will try to fight it a little bit or at 744 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,480 least delay the decision, et cetera. 745 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, well, yeah, it'll be interesting to see what 746 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,920 what kind of regulation they get put in there. And 747 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,639 and but yeah, I think I think that the buy 748 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,159 is in a good spot. It'll be fun to see 749 00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:49,000 these receivers compete. I think we have a lot of 750 00:37:49,039 --> 00:37:51,679 talent in the room still, and then we've got some 751 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,519 new freshman talent coming in and a couple of transfers, 752 00:37:54,559 --> 00:37:56,920 so let's see what they can do. I'm excited for 753 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:57,599 him to compete the. 754 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 2: Jared bledsos and gentlemen U tap Protective Films once again, 755 00:38:02,519 --> 00:38:05,480 let's highlight what you offered there at Utah Protective Films 756 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,119 and how Kugarnation can get a hold of you. 757 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:08,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can. 758 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 6: You can call her Texas at eight oh one eight 759 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,559 hundred ninety seven six seven and definitely let me know 760 00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:18,800 that you've heard us on the radio or you know 761 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,840 Ben or any of that works.
