Speaker 3: Straight you know, you know, watching the game, man, I
Speaker 3: was with one of our former teammates the hotel, the
Speaker 3: Hotel Moteil, big floor, Adams Man, and he said, and
Speaker 3: I said, we said, we cannot fall behind.
Speaker 4: Against a team like arbit Now we're talking about.
Speaker 3: Six sixty six thirteen, three hundred and twenty pounds ten
Speaker 3: pounds of I mean ten ounds of fact, you know, big, big,
Speaker 3: big hotel, Moteil.
Speaker 2: Holiday. He flown yo ten.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, risk card and what else Flozell and we
Speaker 4: both agreed.
Speaker 3: We can't get behind, get some team like Auburn, And
Speaker 3: guess what. We watching the first ten minutes together, and
Speaker 3: we just shook, got hit because we knew we did
Speaker 3: a hold that we weren't gonna be able to get
Speaker 3: out of. Man, And I mean it was painful, man,
Speaker 3: it was painful. It was painful to watch. I was
Speaker 3: sad because I taught so much shit going into the game.
Speaker 2: Ah. Man, I'm used talking shit to everybody, Charles Barkley, everybody,
Speaker 2: I know, I know what you was thinking. And we
Speaker 2: all thought that this was gonna end up a little
Speaker 2: different because you know, there was so much put into
Speaker 2: this team being able to punch that ticket to the
Speaker 2: final four. You know, you look at Jackson Kohler, who
Speaker 2: was the leading scorer that ball game, had seventeen points.
Speaker 2: Many had had eleven boards. He did his thing in
Speaker 2: the ball game. You know, it was just it just
Speaker 2: was a lot of missed opportunities, especially from the point
Speaker 2: blank range. To me when I was seeing the games
Speaker 2: thus in the first half, you know, I thought the
Speaker 2: Michigan State could hang with them. But man, you talk
Speaker 2: about Johnny Broome, man, I mean, God something him. Man,
Speaker 2: he went out he did one of the you know,
Speaker 2: he did one of them thing cleaves. Man, he left
Speaker 2: the game, came back in and a balling with one hand. Man,
Speaker 2: How were we gonna let a guy get a board with
Speaker 2: one arm.
Speaker 3: But you know what, let's go back to the first game. Man,
Speaker 3: Let's go back to Friday, because you know I was
Speaker 3: rejoicing Friday man to see the young Philler Richards and
Speaker 3: I think he went ten points to first half, ten
Speaker 3: points the second half at one point, and you know,
Speaker 3: to see that man, you were I was like, we
Speaker 3: got a young star.
Speaker 4: Will we keep him?
Speaker 5: Ah?
Speaker 3: I couldn't be his daddy. Gonna be no question. If
Speaker 3: I was his daddy, he would have kissed Atlanta Flow.
Speaker 2: Logo.
Speaker 3: Listen, you're gonna be the last time you can kiss
Speaker 3: a flow in college. Go ahead over there after you
Speaker 3: clap hands as this oak shake, give it, give a
Speaker 3: home the lizzo because we're not even going back to
Speaker 3: East Lands.
Speaker 4: Whatever your dog.
Speaker 3: You believe all that ship there for somebody else, Kiss
Speaker 3: that float and let's go cause we ain't.
Speaker 4: This is it.
Speaker 2: It's a wrap, it's the talk.
Speaker 4: You know I was his daddy. It won't even beauty,
Speaker 4: it's not even a question. It's great.
Speaker 3: I'm not even about to leave you on. Hey, We're
Speaker 3: gonna sit home and think it. But no, we're not
Speaker 3: thinking about nothing.
Speaker 2: A lot of we ain't thinking about nothing.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Look, man, look that there's some there's rumors going on
Speaker 2: because everybody wants to talk about what's going on with
Speaker 2: the transfer port okay, and to do that talk because
Speaker 2: you know, people don't know the man behind the screen here.
Speaker 2: You know, we always call him Producer Shine, but he's
Speaker 2: just Shine up. Producer Shine follows the message boards and
Speaker 2: he has his finger on the post of what's going
Speaker 2: on in the rumor meal up in East Lands are
Speaker 2: better than most people. So we're gonna bring Producer Shine
Speaker 2: on the show right now to talk to us with
Speaker 2: our new sponsored chorus, like about what is going on
Speaker 2: in the world of Spartan basketball, the rumor mill and
Speaker 2: I'm the message boys, Scrucer Shine, please show yourself to
Speaker 2: the people.
Speaker 6: What's happening?
Speaker 7: In Jason's words, so Detroit.
Speaker 4: A little bit?
Speaker 2: What what up?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 4: You look like you just had your third child.
Speaker 2: I did. Oh man, Well, welcome to the party.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of stuff going on out there,
Speaker 2: a lot of talk about the transfer portal. You know,
Speaker 2: the big news of the day. Trey Holloman was the
Speaker 2: first one to jump into the portal. Man, you know,
Speaker 2: broke a lot of hearts. You know, I'm getting hate
Speaker 2: mail from people on the other side from from down
Speaker 2: the road played in nineteen eighty five talking shit about
Speaker 2: this guy. Now who talk about what he meant to Michigan. Say,
Speaker 2: what are you hearing about this move and what it
Speaker 2: really can mean to Trade hollowand or Mischigan state.
Speaker 7: You know, Trade was we all know down there, Trade
Speaker 7: was a hero man. Starting with that, I guess people
Speaker 7: mostly think about that shot at Maryland, hit that half court.
Speaker 7: He even well more than half court. He even save
Speaker 7: the save the team that night. So I mean then
Speaker 7: you know him defending the center court and everything. It's
Speaker 7: a lot of love from Trade. So I don't I
Speaker 7: personally have nothing. I don't see nothing wrong with it, honestly.
Speaker 6: I mean, he's.
Speaker 7: Betting on himself. This is last year. Who knows if
Speaker 7: he wants to play professionally. But if you can get
Speaker 7: a bag now, I mean start your your life off,
Speaker 7: an adult life off right, go for it.
Speaker 2: But I mean ready to let him go. Huh.
Speaker 7: I'm one of those people where I'm like, I can't
Speaker 7: If I can't control something, I'm not gonna worry about it.
Speaker 6: So I mean, this is what this is set up for, though, I.
Speaker 7: Mean, if we want to keep them, Michigan State ain't broke,
Speaker 7: like you know, if he wants like let's people forget
Speaker 7: that jayde Nickins did this same thing, like every this
Speaker 7: like they test the waters. He isn't the first player
Speaker 7: to put his name in the portal. Sometimes people come back,
Speaker 7: but you know, you gotta you gotta go out there
Speaker 7: see your value, come back with the paperwork, and you know,
Speaker 7: Michigan State has money. Man, we are not poor. This
Speaker 7: is we are not We are not a poverty program.
Speaker 7: So basketball least, I guess.
Speaker 2: That in basketball.
Speaker 3: Because because because one of one and one is our son.
Speaker 3: The boy got his own money.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
Speaker 4: The one that got his name.
Speaker 3: His brother name on the baseball stadium and put his
Speaker 3: old name on the football. That that that boy, That
Speaker 3: that's the boy I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: You're talking about Matt's Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: Gill buy eight and and and everybody else if you
Speaker 3: want to, because everybody got a price.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we gotta get through this NBA ownership stuff.
Speaker 2: I think there's something there that's kind of tangling those
Speaker 2: guys up. We have three NBA owners that are former
Speaker 2: spartans and also a partial owner of a Major League
Speaker 2: Baseball team in an NFL franchise, and we just can't
Speaker 2: pull those dollars together because of whatever rules there are
Speaker 2: in place for NIL. I don't know. I mean, to me,
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like there's many rules that are enforceable.
Speaker 2: They're trying to make it that and that we're tracking
Speaker 2: that because there's a big court case coming up that's
Speaker 2: going to be heard on April seventh, so six days
Speaker 2: from now, there's a big hearing that's going to really
Speaker 2: change the landscape of college athletics. But with Swerve, you
Speaker 2: talk about it, man, you're saying guys like Isaiah and
Speaker 2: the non poverty program as you call it, Sean, So
Speaker 2: what do you think the move is now? I mean,
Speaker 2: we have, you know, not only Trey Holloman going into
Speaker 2: the portal, but also who else We got what's who
Speaker 2: else on the list? Man?
Speaker 6: Yeah, we got you know, got Norman going in there.
Speaker 7: He got Greg Norman was he was injured the year
Speaker 7: before last, so he had the red shirt. Then he
Speaker 7: didn't get much planning time this year because you know,
Speaker 7: Jace Richardson came alive. You know, we still had Akins
Speaker 7: and everybody. So then you know, the certain second half
Speaker 7: of the season, the surgeon, not resurgence, but the surging of
Speaker 7: car How he kind of his shots started to fall. Man,
Speaker 7: that mid range game became a little more consistent. Then
Speaker 7: we see him start shooting threes. He didn't make a
Speaker 7: whole aum, but they when we needed that three, you know,
Speaker 7: Cark get hit it. And then of course all the
Speaker 7: duncan I mean, like what was it? He went from
Speaker 7: single digits in terms of time to like what the
Speaker 7: last couple gets last.
Speaker 6: Ten games, almost averaging twenty minutes a game or more.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then he started the last two so I
Speaker 7: mean he played small four power for but got back
Speaker 7: on Norman. I mean that injury really derailed him when
Speaker 7: he first got here.
Speaker 4: So no Norman can lead, but bring the Tens.
Speaker 3: Answer your question, he asked what went wrong with the
Speaker 3: MSU basketball team versus Auburn? Did Arburn have more talent?
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I think Arburn did have more talent.
Speaker 3: You know, I think there was a team that we
Speaker 3: couldn't fall behind them. We had to go shot for shot,
Speaker 3: or we had to take a lead, or we had
Speaker 3: to hope that they were going to have an off.
Speaker 4: You know, that's one of them teams where you gotta
Speaker 4: be on your best game. You know. They they was
Speaker 4: battle tested.
Speaker 3: You know, they played the Tennessee's of the world, They
Speaker 3: played the Alabama's of the world, those teams that stayed
Speaker 3: in the in the top ten, and they was, they
Speaker 3: was ready for the moment.
Speaker 4: You know, not to say we wasn't, but I just
Speaker 4: think they had.
Speaker 3: They had They had a little bit more talent, a
Speaker 3: little bit more size. They big played a little bit big,
Speaker 3: bigger than our bigs.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: They they played makers, made more shots than our play makers.
Speaker 3: And you know, I just knew once we got down,
Speaker 3: I knew it was gonna be a fight.
Speaker 2: In my opinion. Oh hey, that's it. Here's another question
Speaker 2: from where to go, Ray, Ray? Don't you think do
Speaker 2: y'all think the bad shooting finally caught up with us?
Speaker 2: That's Ray Ray's question. That's what I'm.
Speaker 3: Saying, right right right, right right right and there right
Speaker 3: raight there that Ray Ray them, Mama and them.
Speaker 4: But yeah, Ray Ray, I mean you can't.
Speaker 3: You can't have bad shoot against and then no, no
Speaker 3: matter of fact, we overcame.
Speaker 4: That's the thing.
Speaker 3: In that first game, we had at least ten turnovers
Speaker 3: THEMN there in the first half. That's something me and
Speaker 3: Flow was keeping keeping a channel on two. But yeah,
Speaker 3: ready to answer your question, Ray Ray and them. Okay,
Speaker 3: you we had we had poor shooter. Man, we need
Speaker 3: we needed some more shooter. We needed guys to step up.
Speaker 3: That was one of the games where we had to
Speaker 3: be over Damn. That's sixty percent to win if you
Speaker 3: ask me.
Speaker 2: Okay, So here's a question for you, Sean producer, Sean Man.
Speaker 2: Here's from Pooh. Y'all think Tom Isnzel got to get
Speaker 2: in portal. People saying the ms you got to open
Speaker 2: up in pocketbooks.
Speaker 6: It's absolutely gonna happen.
Speaker 7: I mean, we're down six players, uh, three to graduation
Speaker 7: and three to the transfer portal. Like Aikins, excuse me, Akins,
Speaker 7: Frankie Filler and Zapola are all done, all out of eligibility.
Speaker 7: I mean, there's rumors that Zapalla might try to push
Speaker 7: forward extra year because he didn't play. His first year
Speaker 7: was some weird thing with like a medical rich shirt,
Speaker 7: but I don't know that's gonna happen. And then you
Speaker 7: got you know the you know, we got Trede Winter,
Speaker 7: Eric Norman and you know Xaber Bookers. That's six people down.
Speaker 7: So we are bringing in two kids from high school,
Speaker 7: so you got to fill the bodies up. And what
Speaker 7: when do the when do the fifteen UH roster spots
Speaker 7: rule change for basketball start?
Speaker 6: Is it this year?
Speaker 2: That's what we are waiting on April seven. That's the
Speaker 2: court hearing. We're gonna find out what's gonna happen. You know,
Speaker 2: I mean it's gonna be lawsuits up there. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be all kinds of lawsuits, litigating like crazy, which is
Speaker 2: part customary and big money situations like this, So don't
Speaker 2: be worried about that. It's part of the deal. But
Speaker 2: when you look at that, you know, we have to
Speaker 2: see that you're talking about one hundred and five scholarships
Speaker 2: for football, so no longer eighty five, moving up to
Speaker 2: one o five and some of they're saying they're gonna
Speaker 2: get rid of walk on, so that means everybody on
Speaker 2: the roster will have a scholarship. Basketball will get fifteen
Speaker 2: people on the roster, and you know baseball is one
Speaker 2: of those sports is gonna get the biggest spike in scholarships.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot that's gonna be happening here the
Speaker 2: next seven day. We're watching that closer. We're looking at
Speaker 2: today obviously the transfer portal from Michigan State or for
Speaker 2: NCAA basketball, because MSIs State an elite eighteen that just
Speaker 2: got knocked out to go to the final four. And
Speaker 2: you're seen not one, not two, but a third member
Speaker 2: also went into the portal today and it save here Booker,
Speaker 2: the six eleven pound forward. You know, what what the
Speaker 2: hell is going on here? You know it didn't play
Speaker 2: a lot, but you know, tell me your thoughts, fellas.
Speaker 4: If you didn't play a lot?
Speaker 3: Him and Norman, what's the highway to get to Detroit Airport?
Speaker 3: Because I don't want you to fly to lands In Airport. Right,
Speaker 3: we ain't missing nothing, you know, we we we had
Speaker 3: a hell of a year this year, you know, to
Speaker 3: go to the lead eight and those guys did not play.
Speaker 4: So guess what. Don't let the don't let the dough
Speaker 4: hit you where the good little.
Speaker 2: Splitch now, isn't he a guy that's developing, you know, and.
Speaker 4: We got time?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, is that the question said in the in
Speaker 3: the it's oh no, he talked a good talk. You know,
Speaker 3: you gotta go get some players like Kyler Peer and
Speaker 3: everybody else doing. Saint John just picked up afore a
Speaker 3: stop point guard.
Speaker 4: You gonna lose Jason. You better gonna get another Jason.
Speaker 3: And I ain't talking about Coogan neither, right right, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, he gonna have to get in there.
Speaker 4: I mean you can talk all that. Let's be old
Speaker 4: school ship if you want to.
Speaker 6: I mean, the prices, price is going up. Man.
Speaker 7: Do you hear Louisville's trying to They gonna spend like
Speaker 7: eight million dollars on their basketball roster. I mean, so
Speaker 7: it went from it went from you being the bottom
Speaker 7: of the bench, you know, maybe making fifty grand to
Speaker 7: come here, to like kids gonna be having for a
Speaker 7: half million dollars, like we gonna be playing that game,
Speaker 7: and like you're not playing. You're not scoring no points,
Speaker 7: you're not getting no rebounds nor assist. It's just that
Speaker 7: the price is going up so million.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be higher than that for some
Speaker 2: of these you're talking about impact players. Some of these
Speaker 2: kids are making I mean the rumor is a j
Speaker 2: Hogar got well over that to go to Vanderbilt.
Speaker 6: That's what I heard.
Speaker 2: Seven eight, It was big numbers. Now, you know, talking
Speaker 2: about guys on the Kansas roster. You know Saint Johns's
Speaker 2: you know, said it brought up a minute to go
Speaker 2: about the point guard to just signed with them. Michigan's roster.
Speaker 2: You look at all these different schools. Louisville's saying they're
Speaker 2: gonna spend eight to nine, Indiana got a new coach
Speaker 2: coming in. They're saying they're gonna spend upwards to ten
Speaker 2: million dollars on a basketball roster. Man, listen, man, look there,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be competition. Now, he's got to be the
Speaker 2: right talent evaluation that happens with that. Are you just
Speaker 2: throwing you know, as hey, Sue's Nick saban Oh coach said,
Speaker 2: then you're gonna be shit out of luck if you
Speaker 2: picked the wrong guys. Right, So it's gotta be a
Speaker 2: lot of that. We could trust tom Izzo and this
Speaker 2: talent evaluation, but can he coach that type of team?
Speaker 2: You know, when you look at that in football, you
Speaker 2: had a D'Antonio type of coach and you had a
Speaker 2: guy like urban Meyer. They were great successful coaches. D'Antonio
Speaker 2: did beat urban Meyer, but urban Meyer was a guy
Speaker 2: who was able to get it done on the national
Speaker 2: level because he could recruit the four and five star
Speaker 2: guys and cater to them in a different way. It's
Speaker 2: a different way to handle those guys and the guys
Speaker 2: that's kind of build up and you have more of
Speaker 2: a camaraderie and hey, we're gonna win one for the
Speaker 2: gifter type of attitude, which is what Michigan State's brand is.
Speaker 2: Is this something swerve that Iszo can get done if
Speaker 2: he open if all those guys you're talking about that
Speaker 2: we had the money open up their pocketbooks.
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta think Iszo got all the money
Speaker 3: people in his pocket It's on Izzo, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. And they talking to the guys and not
Speaker 3: just that Michigan State is a sexy program. You know,
Speaker 3: you got you got some of them big time players
Speaker 3: saying they making the calls and hey, what's the number,
Speaker 3: you know, because I want to come there.
Speaker 4: What's the number you guys got? You know?
Speaker 3: What I mean, you got to because you got these
Speaker 3: handlers for these guys, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 3: they making the call saying, hey, you know what such
Speaker 3: and such one to come there, you know, but you
Speaker 3: know what's the price, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 3: and it's nothing for him to say he got dudes
Speaker 3: on speed dive boom. You know, it ain't just that guy.
Speaker 3: You know, everybody, all the guys that were behind the
Speaker 3: bench and eight rolls up in Atlanta, them all.
Speaker 4: His money guys.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: That's not come on home, go back.
Speaker 2: And review to take. You can see it right there
Speaker 2: from eighth row all the way down in the order
Speaker 2: of signs of wallets right to get bigger as you
Speaker 2: get down lord right.
Speaker 3: And they all said the same thing when the game,
Speaker 3: when the game was out of hand, though, whatever you need,
Speaker 3: let us.
Speaker 4: Know, we got a blak check for you. That's all.
Speaker 2: Hey, man, I like that.
Speaker 7: I mean Ryan Ron, I mean, how if you go
Speaker 7: and look back, ain't got Ron Ron Charles?
Speaker 4: He asked these questions.
Speaker 7: Man, But I mean, why would I want to come
Speaker 7: to Michigan State. I mean, it's really hard to wear
Speaker 7: national championship man. There's like a handful of coaches throughout
Speaker 7: history are just schools.
Speaker 6: The one as championship it was it.
Speaker 7: Michigan State is like one of what eight schools if
Speaker 7: I have to look it up to be absolutely sure,
Speaker 7: there's one multiple national championships out of three hundred and
Speaker 7: something programs.
Speaker 4: Like we got.
Speaker 6: We just want to lead eight.
Speaker 7: We got like almost we were tied for six or
Speaker 7: seven for like final fours something like that in the
Speaker 7: history of college basketball. Just because you don't win, I'm
Speaker 7: gonna put this thing back up there. Just because you
Speaker 7: don't win a national championship every year does not make
Speaker 7: you not an elite team like we got. We got
Speaker 7: people in the league, like like doing well, Jaron Jackson's
Speaker 7: of the world, but to have Jace Richardson to be
Speaker 7: a top ten pick, like we put people in the league.
Speaker 7: We got people staying in the league. We got multiple
Speaker 7: contract people in the league. I mean, you got Magic Johnson.
Speaker 7: Like if you can't even there's people who don't go
Speaker 7: get drafted from Michigan State, call up Magic Johnson who
Speaker 7: like end up being the Lakers practice squad for how
Speaker 7: long getting money, Like you know, we got connects like
Speaker 7: being in Mischigan State's no joke.
Speaker 6: Man. This like again, I'll say it again. We are
Speaker 6: not a poverty program.
Speaker 2: Baby. I like the look. I love your energy, Sean.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 2: We ain't a poverty program. Baby. You heard that. You
Speaker 2: heard the man. You heard it, And listen if you
Speaker 2: if you don't know Ron, Ron, like why somebody who's
Speaker 2: a top recruit won't come to Michigan STATEIU, you should
Speaker 2: have came to the party we was at.
Speaker 4: I listen.
Speaker 2: I'm only up there every now and again, But listen
Speaker 2: when we were there, when I was walking the streets
Speaker 2: of East Lands and every day back in the mid
Speaker 2: to late nineties. It was great then, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: tell you one thing is greater now. I know that much.
Speaker 2: If they can open up the water and then make
Speaker 2: it close from an nil perspective for these kids, the
Speaker 2: student body and what's going on the experience to be
Speaker 2: a Spartan in second to none, ain't no player, Ann Arbor,
Speaker 2: Raleigh Durham, Hell, I don't care it, damn. Where are
Speaker 2: you talking about? Kansas?
Speaker 7: Who?
Speaker 2: Who has a better environment to be a student athlete
Speaker 2: than Michigan State and east Landson?
Speaker 4: Who? Where?
Speaker 2: Tell me where Miami sucks when it comes to college
Speaker 2: football and basketball. And I know that's your hometown. Swer,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna tell you where'd you go? And why.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wait the twelve o'clock at night on this
Speaker 3: is spotted after the Dark Show to stay Wow.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, let me tell you man, like don't get
Speaker 2: it twisted magic titles in seventy nine out of the
Speaker 2: old watch.
Speaker 7: Again, how many schools got more than one national championship?
Speaker 7: Like it ain't just like you don't just happen like
Speaker 7: Cali Perry. Like Cali Perry has one national championship.
Speaker 6: He hit all that talent and.
Speaker 7: People still keep going to him. And he's what he
Speaker 7: just got out of the second round. This is the
Speaker 7: first time in how many years with all that talent
Speaker 7: from multiple places, and he had ten million dollar budget.
Speaker 3: I mean, if I would answer run run question, why
Speaker 3: would I go to MSU if I'm a basketball players?
Speaker 3: Like what you said first of all, with the tradition,
Speaker 3: you know, you can name multiple players that that's been
Speaker 3: in the league for Michigan State, you know, easily over ten,
Speaker 3: you know, and you talk about a Hall of Fame
Speaker 3: type of coach, you know, what I mean. And then
Speaker 3: on top of that, you're talking about a team that

Speaker 3: teams can say that. You know, they know they're going overseas.

Speaker 3: State was able to do as a basketball program. It's
Speaker 3: not miserable to like you say, Miami can't say they
Speaker 3: played on the ship. Miami can't say they went to
Speaker 3: Germany and all these different places a basketball game, you know,
Speaker 3: FIU can't say. You know, so it's something set sexy
Speaker 3: about Michigan State basketball and plus the history that will
Speaker 3: make you, you know, if you're a top player coming
Speaker 3: out of high school, you got a top five and
Speaker 3: Michigan State offer you, Michigan State gonna be in your
Speaker 3: top five, whether it's one through five, they gonna be
Speaker 3: your top five.

Speaker 9: Much thanks For.
Speaker 6: Oh, yes thank, You.
Speaker 4: CEDRIC i appreciate.
Speaker 9: That, yes, SIR i think we all could use one
Speaker 9: after some of the news we had.
Speaker 2: Today SO i, mean, yeah we were talking about. IT i,
Speaker 2: mean this is you talk about not, one not too
Speaker 2: but three players jumping in the portal after that great.
Speaker 2: Speech that is, okay just a few days, ago like
Speaker 2: a week, ago and you know when When Steven brooks
Speaker 2: asked that you were, Here, yeah we talked about, that
Speaker 2: and here we are. TODAY i, mean what's your spin on,
Speaker 2: things what's your take on what's happening on the ground level?
Speaker 9: There, well from from What i've, HEARD i, MEAN i
Speaker 9: think that Certainly Garrick norman was not a huge. SURPRISE i,
Speaker 9: mean it's the second year in the program and he's
Speaker 9: really seen very little, time AND i think he was
Speaker 9: known for a, shooter but it was always a question
Speaker 9: of whether his defense was ever going to be up
Speaker 9: to kind Of michigan state, standards and SO i, think you,
Speaker 9: know that was maybe not terribly big of a, surprise
Speaker 9: that maybe he can find other places where he'll be
Speaker 9: able to get more playing. Time as far As Xavier booker,
Speaker 9: GOES i think that that also was not a huge.
Speaker 9: Surprise everybody knows that he's got the most talent in the,
Speaker 9: world perhaps or maybe that's an, exaggeration but he's a
Speaker 9: very talented, kid but he just struggled to see the
Speaker 9: court of the issue as, well and as the year went,
Speaker 9: on his time decreased. Significantly, so you, KNOW i don't
Speaker 9: think we can be shocked that perhaps it's maybe time
Speaker 9: for him to at least explore if there's other opportunities
Speaker 9: out there that are you are going to be beneficial
Speaker 9: and put him in a better position to. Succeed but,
Speaker 9: then of, course the biggest SURPRISE i think Was Trey,
Speaker 9: holloman AND i don't think anyone saw that. Coming, certainly you,
Speaker 9: KNOW i, was AND i was there and down In
Speaker 9: atlanta last, weekend and so you could see the raw
Speaker 9: emotion on all of these guys'. Faces and you, know
Speaker 9: that was part of What izzo said after the, game
Speaker 9: is that you, know you, know the tears aren't, phony
Speaker 9: was the quote that he, had and he seemed optimistic
Speaker 9: that he'd be able to keep most of the team,
Speaker 9: together but at the same, time he also, said, well
Speaker 9: you never, know because you never know who's going to
Speaker 9: get in these guys's.
Speaker 2: Ears you.
Speaker 9: Know he also mentioned that there was perhaps a little
Speaker 9: bit of jealousy When jason Or Jace richardson was elevated
Speaker 9: to the starting, role and he didn't say on behalf of,
Speaker 9: anyone but he did leave that comment for, us WHICH
Speaker 9: i think was certainly a little bit eyebrow. Raising BUT
Speaker 9: i don't, think you, know anyone thought much of it
Speaker 9: because of all of the other discussion going. On BUT
Speaker 9: i think there was also some, rumors and these are
Speaker 9: all kind of you, Know internet rumors that basically other
Speaker 9: teams had been Courting holloman for a while and we're
Speaker 9: offering you, know fairly large sums of. Money it was
Speaker 9: even said in various corners of the internet today that
Speaker 9: he turned down a bigger payday last year and that
Speaker 9: he wasn't in a position to do that. Again, SO i,
Speaker 9: mean we'll see how this all works. OUT i, mean of,
Speaker 9: course once you can enter the, portal but you can
Speaker 9: also exit the portal and return. HOME i don't know
Speaker 9: how that's going to shake. Out but you, know on some,
Speaker 9: level these kids are trying to put themselves in the
Speaker 9: best position to succeed both financially and on the. Court
Speaker 9: and you, Know Michigan state either can opt to play
Speaker 9: that game or not play that game based on the overall.
Speaker 9: Situation so we'll see how how it. Pans, Out BUT
Speaker 9: i also Think holloman's role next year was going to
Speaker 9: be a little bit in question because you, know he's
Speaker 9: sort of in that no land between the one and
Speaker 9: the two position Where Jeremy FEARS i think is clearly
Speaker 9: the top point guard on the roster and will likely
Speaker 9: continue to get better and to sort of solidify that.
Speaker 9: Role AND i Think, holloman you, know he's a he's
Speaker 9: a good point, guard he's a pretty good shooting. Guard
Speaker 9: but there may be other guys on the roster that
Speaker 9: are going to be better at both the one and
Speaker 9: the two than he. Is and so then as he
Speaker 9: stuck as the sixth man again for his senior, year
Speaker 9: and THAT'S i think a very strong. Possibility so then,
Speaker 9: again you can't really blame him if he decides to move.
Speaker 4: On but we'll.
Speaker 9: SEE i, mean he hasn't you, know he hasn't signed
Speaker 9: with anybody else, yet so he could still come, back you,
Speaker 9: know it just really it's hard to. Say it's a
Speaker 9: fluid situation right.
Speaker 7: NOW i think a big part of it that people
Speaker 7: may misunderstand is that these, kids like you, know there
Speaker 7: may be some people reached out to people, directly but
Speaker 7: their agents have our twenty four to seven shopping these kids.
Speaker 7: Around even unbeknownst to these, Kids like you might be
Speaker 7: having a good. Situation the next thing you, know your
Speaker 7: agent calls you up five o'clock me afternoon, saying, HEY
Speaker 7: i got, school want to pay you? Double like, what
Speaker 7: But i'm good here. Double you, know it's it's it's their.
Speaker 7: Job it's their job to get the best possible amount
Speaker 7: of money for their. Client and that's what it is
Speaker 7: like all these kids of agents, Now SO i think
Speaker 7: that's a big part of it that people need to.
Speaker 9: Understand, so, yeah completely, agree it's it's the.
Speaker 7: REALITY i would say one more, thing like there was
Speaker 7: someone ON i don't know IF i think it Was
Speaker 7: Eric carson from another podcast that final force in our,
Speaker 7: schedules like said earlier today that he could say it.
Speaker 7: Now but what there was murmurs back In february That
Speaker 7: trey's agent would shopping him, Around like you, KNOW i,
Speaker 7: mean what was happening In february when didn't isn't that
Speaker 7: around the same time trade started to start to, like you,
Speaker 7: know stuff when you hear the timelines and stuff and then.
Speaker 6: You see cause and.
Speaker 4: EFFECT i, mean.
Speaker 6: Stuff we don't even know would be happening to be
Speaker 6: happening it.
Speaker 2: Sure you, know and there's a lot of critic, criticism you,
Speaker 2: know around the. Internet you, KNOW i, mean you, know
Speaker 2: Even i'm saying the bag is short time thinking on
Speaker 2: a bad. Team you, know there's a lot of people
Speaker 2: that say. That you, KNOW i get it that you
Speaker 2: want to, say pass up the money in order to
Speaker 2: win a national. Championship but like that's easier said when
Speaker 2: it's not you that's faced with that, opportunity you, know
Speaker 2: when you're talking about these ages of shopping these guys. Around, now,
Speaker 2: LOOK i don't know all the truth and facts, everything
Speaker 2: but you, KNOW i get guys that are involved in
Speaker 2: those collectives and people are involved in a lot of
Speaker 2: different areas of the different universities what's. Happening and they're,
Speaker 2: saying they're throwing numbers out at these kids that ARE i,
Speaker 2: mean you're talking life changing money for some of. Them you,
Speaker 2: know some of these kids parents don't make a lot
Speaker 2: of money at. All you, know they're not six figure
Speaker 2: parents college. Educating not all of them are that way
Speaker 2: and very, comfortable you, Know and when somebody starts throwing
Speaker 2: high six, figures you, know seven eight hundred, thousand over
Speaker 2: a million dollars at kids to come play a sport
Speaker 2: that they're going to play, anyway how do you tell the,
Speaker 2: kid you, know not to entertain? It and then then
Speaker 2: it comes back to What cedric's been, Saying, hey then
Speaker 2: it's all about Can Michigan state match it at the
Speaker 2: end of the. DAY i think that's what you're saying as, Well.
Speaker 2: Paul you're saying just because you're in doesn't mean that you're.
Speaker 2: Gone you, know it's out THE nba. Draft you don't have,
Speaker 2: songs you don't sign with an agent in AN nba.
Speaker 2: Draft you can explore and then come. Back so there
Speaker 2: is opportunity. There but it is clear that this, season,
Speaker 2: now this, offseason when it comes to the transfer portal for,
Speaker 2: basketball it's going to be major dollars spent for these
Speaker 2: teams that want to compete next. Year.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Absolutely AND i mean it is just the reality
Speaker 9: of the. Landscape AND i mean the other thing that
Speaker 9: occurred to me, earlier and this was also discussed in
Speaker 9: various corners of The internet, TODAY i would, say is you,
Speaker 9: know the situation now it does seem like The Wild,
Speaker 9: west but there is some level of transparency to the
Speaker 9: current situation because it's really almost like you, know roster
Speaker 9: management at the pro level where you almost have a salary,
Speaker 9: cap but you, know every team salary cap is a
Speaker 9: little bit, different and on some level that's maybe more
Speaker 9: fair than a previous situation where you had a certain you,
Speaker 9: know subset of rogue programs that we're paying kids under the,
Speaker 9: Table like that's not, Better like this isn't, great but
Speaker 9: it's probably better than. That so at least from a
Speaker 9: big picture. Standpoint AND i think that you, know mshu's
Speaker 9: got a great, staff they've got a pretty STRONG nl,
Speaker 9: program AND i think at the end of the, day
Speaker 9: they're going to be. Okay, like we don't know what
Speaker 9: that roster is going to look, like it's going to
Speaker 9: be a wild. Ride but you know, what if you
Speaker 9: want to just take a nap for the next two
Speaker 9: months and wake up In june and see who mshu's
Speaker 9: got on the, ROSTER i think it's going to be,
Speaker 9: okay and then let's let's throw the balls out In October,
Speaker 9: november see what. HAPPENS i think they're going to be
Speaker 9: okay because you, know coaching, matters and M shu's got
Speaker 9: a pretty dog on good, coach so and a pretty
Speaker 9: dog on good, Staff so they're going to figure it.
Speaker 9: Out i'm pretty confident about.
Speaker 7: It there's plenty of teams who spend way more money
Speaker 7: than us who don't even make the. Tournament so, like you,
Speaker 7: know you still gotta you still gotta have the right mession.
Speaker 7: Players but hopefully we get a center off the portal
Speaker 7: and another.
Speaker 2: SHOOTER i, mean how many times have we said, That?
Speaker 2: PAUL i, mean everybody talks About Michigter state hasn't been
Speaker 2: able to grow to a big time. Center what's your
Speaker 2: thoughts on?
Speaker 9: That you, Know i'm less worried about that than a
Speaker 9: lot of. PEOPLE i think m she was pretty pretty
Speaker 9: solid at the center. Position i'm A i'm a bigger
Speaker 9: Cop Carson cooper fan than a lot of. Folks and
Speaker 9: maybe that's because he grew up like thirty minutes from my.
Speaker 9: Hometown SO i got a LITTLE i got a little
Speaker 9: little pride for. THAT i actually said that to him
Speaker 9: the way out there On. Sunday but, yeah, Hometown i'm From.
Speaker 9: Stockbridge you Know? Stockbridge oh, YEAH i know that's WHERE
Speaker 9: i grew. Up, okay, yeah, yeah mill of Farm. Country

Speaker 1: AND i know, that.
Speaker 2: AND i got me off.
Speaker 9: Track but as far as the center, position you, KNOW

Speaker 9: was you, know was it a dominant center like you
Speaker 9: Know Johnny. Brome, No but those guys they did the.
Speaker 9: Job AND i don't think, that you, know that's as
Speaker 9: big of a hole as you know people some PEOPLE u.
Speaker 9: Expected So i'm okay not getting the center out of
Speaker 9: the portal because they've also got what's his, name the
Speaker 9: kid that red SHIRTED i think his name is, McCullough
Speaker 9: and they were saying good things about, him and so
Speaker 9: if you got, those, WELL i guess so that now
Speaker 9: you don't Have booker, though so you might want to
Speaker 9: replace a big. There but you, know Between, Cohler cooper and,
Speaker 9: McCullough that might be, Okay it might be all, that
Speaker 9: that might be a pretty solid, rotation especially the Way
Speaker 9: cohler played on On, sunday which he was the best
Speaker 9: player on the court for am.

Speaker 2: You your fieler was a huge. Get he was a
Speaker 2: difference maker off the bench in a bunch of Games lee.
Speaker 2: Eight he got them back in somewhere in it. Somewhat
Speaker 2: so that's From Steve. Mannett so what's your what was
Speaker 2: Your fiddler's? GONE i, Understand so what was your thoughts
Speaker 2: on his?
Speaker 9: Career you, KNOW I i really do think he cycled
Speaker 9: up towards the. END i, MEAN i think coming in
Speaker 9: he was a lot of a lot of folks thought
Speaker 9: he'd be the league scorer on this, team and he
Speaker 9: did start for a, while and it took him a
Speaker 9: while to kind of find his his groove AND i
Speaker 9: think adjust to the you, know high high division, one you,
Speaker 9: know high major games that he was playing. In AND
Speaker 9: i think it also took him a while to adjust
Speaker 9: To mshu's. System and, so you, know it's it's to
Speaker 9: be expected, that you, know it's it's gonna take a
Speaker 9: pretty special player that's just gonna be able to come
Speaker 9: and run off the street and succeed in in HIS o.
Speaker 9: System BUT i do think towards the end of the,
Speaker 9: season once he kind of found his place and found
Speaker 9: his role on the, team he was a bright. Spot
Speaker 9: AND i, think you, KNOW i was sitting next To
Speaker 9: David harns at the game On, sunday a good friend
Speaker 9: of all of, OURS i, think and you, Know fiddler actually,
Speaker 9: again he was one of the better players on the
Speaker 9: court in the first half of that, game and we
Speaker 9: looked down at the you, know the stat sheet and
Speaker 9: he'd only played for five. Minutes we're like they got
Speaker 9: to get they got to get him in there more.
Speaker 4: Because he was.
Speaker 9: Solid he played very well in the tournament and it
Speaker 9: was kind of the unsung hero in.
Speaker 4: Some of those.
Speaker 9: GAMES i would, say so on a defensive, End, yeah he, Really,
Speaker 9: yeah he, did and that was. Unexpected he wasn't expected.
Speaker 9: To you, know he many thought he might be a defensive,
Speaker 9: liability but he. Was he was a solid defender towards
Speaker 9: the end of the, year so you, know he was
Speaker 9: he was an asset to have towards the end of the.
Speaker 2: Year. Definitely. Yeah you, know Producer sean had made a
Speaker 2: highlight tape Of Frankly fiddler coming out of the university
Speaker 2: that we took him out of the transfer portal. FROM
Speaker 2: i can't recall exactly what university. Was the brass over
Speaker 2: there you, go thank you you guys and computers and
Speaker 2: it was you thought he was an offensive, juggernaut but
Speaker 2: he turns out was able to. Convert and this is
Speaker 2: something that you, know we had, Guys we Had Sean
Speaker 2: restaurant on the show a few weeks ago and he,
Speaker 2: Said i'm a defensive. Guy that's what he was known
Speaker 2: for coming out of high school In. Detroit But we
Speaker 2: know him as a as a silky. Shooter so you,
Speaker 2: know it's it's interesting to see guys that are able
Speaker 2: to reinvent. Themselves Centric urgent was a. Fullback little known
Speaker 2: fact he was a, fullback only played running back one
Speaker 2: year in his prep. Career seems like he was all,
Speaker 2: right uh a, swerve talk to. Us what you gotta lean?
Speaker 2: Back what does that?
Speaker 4: Say you know they Say i'm modeling. Shirts now.

Speaker 2: Know but, guys you, know this is this, interesting interesting
Speaker 2: time that we're dealing with right. Now you, know the
Speaker 2: portal is obviously, alive and, well we just gave our,
Speaker 2: take Doctor greene on who we thought would win the overall.
Speaker 3: Tournament, now what's your what's your? Take, Yeah, paulker we
Speaker 3: heard that you are the. Man that's how you got your.
Speaker 3: Name you, know you you are the picker the. Pickers
Speaker 3: well somedays some, tiears maybe not this.
Speaker 9: YEAR i. DO i do Think florida's gonna Beat. Auburn
Speaker 9: that's one of the things that's a bit. DISAPPOINTING i,
Speaker 9: mean we Saw auburn up close and, personal AND i
Speaker 9: still think there's some, looseness looseness to that. TEAM i
Speaker 9: don't think that, they you, know as are as a
Speaker 9: focus of a group as you might need to win
Speaker 9: in the final. Four AND i know That auburn's already Played,
Speaker 9: FLORIDA i think at least, once AND i HONESTLY i
Speaker 9: don't remember how that how those games came, out BUT
Speaker 9: i Think florida's playing better right now AND i Think
Speaker 9: florida will. Win duke And, HOUSTON i you, Know duke
Speaker 9: probably is the favorite right, now and, honestly they're probably
Speaker 9: the team to. Beat that pains me to say that
Speaker 9: BECAUSE i am a Classic duke, Hater SO i would
Speaker 9: prefer any of the three teams or any of the
Speaker 9: four teams to, win if other than. Them But houston's
Speaker 9: an interesting team BECAUSE i Think houston's a bunch of
Speaker 9: grown ass men and you, Know duke's a bunch of diaper,
Speaker 9: dandies and that's that could be an interesting. Combination SO
Speaker 9: i really do Think houston's got a shot to take them.
Speaker 9: Out and then if if it winds up Being, Houston.
Speaker 9: FLORIDA i don't, know flip a, COIN i Would i'll
Speaker 9: be rooting For, houston BUT i do think THAT i
Speaker 9: have a feeling to winner That Houston duke is going
Speaker 9: to win the national, title and it's probably gonna Be.
Speaker 9: Duke as much as it pains me to.
Speaker 4: Say that.
Speaker 2: That's a that's a, QUAFFECTA i don't, know what do
Speaker 2: you call? That all four of, US i, think, yeah you,
Speaker 2: know we think that we. Agree we all agree on that.
