Speaker 9: going around and hitting people, scoring touchdowns. It's hard to
Speaker 9: beat that. So I'd say, I don't know, Baseball definitely
Speaker 9: first love. I enjoyed playing baseball, you know, more than
Speaker 9: anything on this world. So but yeah, there's there's nothing
Speaker 9: like those friday night lights. I'll tell you that, that's
Speaker 9: for sure.

Speaker 3: Oh, I know, it's it's incredible.
Speaker 6: Ryan.

Speaker 2: where you played the prep ball.
Speaker 3: Where'd you start playing baseball?
Speaker 4: How old were you?
Speaker 10: I was probably three or four years old.
Speaker 11: My mom would bundle up these little socks and I
Speaker 11: would throw them on the windshield and try to get
Speaker 11: them stuck up there. And then next thing you know,
Speaker 11: they figured I was pretty good at that, and then

Speaker 2: know about Motive City hit Dogs. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: So high level baseball in Michigan, Like, what is it

Speaker 2: as far as baseball and what what?
Speaker 10: What?
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 3: What are you guys?
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 11: Really especially within my high school we played since I

Speaker 11: like guys. We always they always do their best arms
Speaker 11: at us, and they were always in the you know,
Speaker 11: load high high eighties, load nineties.
Speaker 10: So Michigan baseball is definitely up there within the fifty states.
Speaker 4: So right, you won, you won the state, you won
Speaker 4: a national championship.
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah in twenty twenty one and then twenty twenty two.
Speaker 5: So I say it now when I go to img
Speaker 5: sway right, is the post wrect there? Because IMG what
Speaker 5: they just wanted last year national championship.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're legit to.
Speaker 5: So what I want to know is is that is
Speaker 5: that when when you come to have a nasal championship,
Speaker 5: do y'all play like the World Series?
Speaker 11: They don't do you don't play each other. They just
Speaker 11: like Perfect Game and other other you know, Baseball America.
Speaker 11: They just post rankings. Oh god, okay, based on there
Speaker 11: there's uh their schedule on their record. So like my
Speaker 11: junior year we went forty four and oh so they
Speaker 11: just kind of made.
Speaker 5: Us run, Timmy, because you know that we had we
Speaker 5: had some lady, our lady softball players on here. One
Speaker 5: was a picture and she swear. They swear, I'm not
Speaker 5: gonna get a tip ball Ryan me. You know what
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm gonna get a hit. And when I
Speaker 5: get a hit, Ryan, I'm gonna that motherfucker.
Speaker 2: Okay, swear We're gonna ask them, can you would you
Speaker 2: get a hit? No, they're not pictures now because you
Speaker 2: strike them out. These young men right here. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Man, First of all, they got no facial hair, so
Speaker 5: I'm not stead of them. I can look at that,
Speaker 5: look at their room. Compared to the to the football
Speaker 5: player rule, it ain't so much action going in there,
Speaker 5: so they really I got them.
Speaker 2: They're still don't let the smooth taste fool you. Man,
Speaker 2: don't judge books by the couple.
Speaker 4: So you're saying I won't strike them out. You said
Speaker 4: I won't strike them out, striking man? You okay? What
Speaker 4: do you do?
Speaker 5: He double and Ryan, I'm coming to a baseball game, dammit,
Speaker 5: all you love like like like miss Lindsey, did I
Speaker 5: want my jersey?
Speaker 4: Boss?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 5: No, no, I'm not calling nobody. I got two of
Speaker 5: the stars right here, like, and they gonna get me
Speaker 5: up because I'm Uncle Swerve. If not, we're just not
Speaker 5: gonna strap them out straight. I slapped the ship.
Speaker 4: Let's go.
Speaker 5: I'm coming, baby, I'm coming. First of all, I gotta
Speaker 5: go back this mass, I mean mass mass. Y'all ever
Speaker 5: be in a mass on a Saturday night? Hey, listen,
Speaker 5: if you have, I know you have it, because if
Speaker 5: y'all have, your room will look different. No, no, no,
Speaker 5: I'm Uncle Swerve, you know, So I'm gonna tell you that.
Speaker 5: First of all, you.
Speaker 4: Can't lose if you go to Man on a Saturday night.
Speaker 2: So I think those that's the Freudian slip man, This
Speaker 2: smash Mash Mash Mash Mass if you go to mass.
Speaker 4: Man, listen man, guys.
Speaker 2: So you guys both played with the Hit Dogs and
Speaker 2: you both had great prep careers obviously Rochester Adol for you, Parker,
Speaker 2: and then Ryan you over or to Lake Saint Mary's.
Speaker 2: But then you both happened to team up and partner
Speaker 2: up with Charitable Get the America right, and you both
Speaker 2: ended up having charities in your choice. We know that
Speaker 2: one of the big components of Charitable Get the Americas.
Speaker 2: They asked for you to donate five percent of your
Speaker 2: nil contract back to a charity in your choice.
Speaker 4: So, Ryan, who did you choose?
Speaker 11: Yeah, Satan Jude's Children Research Hospital. And the reason behind
Speaker 11: that was kind of because my dad, he's been donating
Speaker 11: there for twenty eight years now. Yeah, I just kind
Speaker 11: of wanted to, you know, I guess, carry on the
Speaker 11: tradition and keep that going. Even though you know it's
Speaker 11: a small donation by anything, I think anything helps.
Speaker 10: So that's kind of the reasoning behind that.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, So taking out your father's footsteps with that, Yes, sir.
Speaker 5: So Ryan, is that I know I'm off, you know,
Speaker 5: don't mind, man, I got ct Is that is that
Speaker 5: the hospital that I would do the traditional thing they
Speaker 5: do of the wave.
Speaker 4: Is that same juice too? Uh yes, yes, okay, cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a big it's a big time hospital. They
Speaker 3: have them down in Tampa. Yeah there too.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they do some special things for sure.
Speaker 3: Awesome.
Speaker 2: That's very good for you to be able to do that,
Speaker 2: and you have an example already in your household. You know,
Speaker 2: that's not something that everybody has, which is great for you.
Speaker 4: Uh so, Parker.
Speaker 9: So I chose the American Cancer Society. I chose that
Speaker 9: that in particular just because I've had several family members
Speaker 9: impacted by cancer and passed away from it. But I
Speaker 9: just think it's it's very important to you know, they
Speaker 9: help out several several families by you know, their donations
Speaker 9: are are are for gaining intel on research, trying to
Speaker 9: figure out the next cure for cancer or whatever it
Speaker 9: might be, or something you know, just as little as
Speaker 9: helping out a family with with bills or you know,
Speaker 9: a place to say, a place to stay. So it's
Speaker 9: it's very close to my family and I and I
Speaker 9: think that you know, that's a that's a great place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 2: I mean, cancers hit I don't know a family that
Speaker 2: hasn't been touched by cancer unfortunately, and trying to find
Speaker 2: a cure for that terrible disease is something that everybody
Speaker 2: should be striving to do, because it doesn't make sense
Speaker 2: to me. Like we can we can, we can flat
Speaker 2: at the moon, we can hear, we can see everything
Speaker 2: that's going on, you know, under the depths of the oaks.
Speaker 2: We cannot figure this disease out. With all the technology
Speaker 2: and the bright people that we have on this planet.
Speaker 2: I think we need to put all hands on deck
Speaker 2: in order to figure out something. With America Cancer Society,
Speaker 2: that's a great place to start. I lost my mother
Speaker 2: to cancer as well, So I mean that touches me
Speaker 2: in more ways than I can even say.
Speaker 4: The guys, you know, when you talk about not only
Speaker 4: that that charitable.
Speaker 2: Component, we got to get a little bit into the
Speaker 2: extras and those the game of baseball, and you guys
Speaker 2: open up this week on the road you go and
Speaker 2: get up. I don't know, I mean, your travel is nuts.
Speaker 2: You get on the road to North Carolina. You know
Speaker 2: the weather is gonna be okay, but I think you
Speaker 2: gotta get it. What time do you hit to what's
Speaker 2: your travel.
Speaker 11: Plans, leaving at two am Thursday morning day, pulling all nighter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, don't go to mash before with the victory party.
Speaker 5: But b double, you know what, we were still in school.
Speaker 5: We was I was still try to go to Madge
Speaker 5: before I get on the plane.
Speaker 7: It's an easy way to stay up.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 4: Now when y'all leave at two am, are y'all private?
Speaker 7: I think I think we're flying public here, flying out
Speaker 7: of Detroit probably.
Speaker 4: Oh so you're going to six o'clock like now, some yeah.
Speaker 11: About like three. But with all that, you know that
Speaker 11: weather coming. They're like, all right, we gotta leave at
Speaker 11: two now, So I mean it makes it better.
Speaker 10: So now we just stay up all night.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you guys get out there and go to
Speaker 2: North Carolina and then you're gonna have a a couple.
Speaker 4: You're gonna you're gonna tangle with Western Michigan. M Okay.
Speaker 2: Now, so actually playing outside now, this is something we
Speaker 2: asked the softball players. You know the difference between being
Speaker 2: able to practice inside and outside at game speed.
Speaker 3: Now, so you best both want p double. You're an
Speaker 3: outfield and centerfield.
Speaker 2: You track the balls and the pop flies and some
Speaker 2: one hoppers and things like that, you know, and and
Speaker 2: Ryan you your second basement and with middle infielder little
Speaker 2: short mostly second, so he's got to have great hands.
Speaker 2: So how do you adjust to like being able to
Speaker 2: play in a real game versus what you have been
Speaker 2: able to practice with them that.
Speaker 11: You can say so far, Yeah, I mean doing it.
Speaker 11: I mean being on dirt my whole life. You're you know,
Speaker 11: you're used to the dirt. But even though we're inside
Speaker 11: right now, we're on turf. It'll be it'll be a
Speaker 11: little adjustment getting used to, uh, you know, being on
Speaker 11: dirt again, because we haven't been on dirt since the fall.
Speaker 10: Pretty much we're on, like on the dirt five days
Speaker 10: a week, so.
Speaker 4: Getting used to that.
Speaker 11: We practice Thursday night on the field, so that'll be
Speaker 11: nice to get some reps there. But uh, it's it's
Speaker 11: it's nothing crazy because it's just clockwork, you know, once
Speaker 11: you've been playing for this long.
Speaker 4: Wow, so pop lives.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So it'll definitely it'll be it'll be good to
Speaker 9: get back outside. Like Ryan said on that Thursday, I
Speaker 9: think the hardest part for us is, I mean, as outfielders,
Speaker 9: I mean we're contained in that that little dome. It's
Speaker 9: hard to get you know, actual reads and stuff like
Speaker 9: that off off the bat, and I mean for everyone
Speaker 9: on the on the defense, it's hard to you know,
Speaker 9: just get like game reps, you know, in practice. So
Speaker 9: I think it will be tremendously helpful to you know,
Speaker 9: get down there a little bit early practice outside Thursday.
Speaker 9: I mean in batting practice. You know, the outfielders are
Speaker 9: taking reps you know, all during that.
Speaker 7: So that'll be big.
Speaker 9: But it's it's it's been a challenge being inside. But
Speaker 9: I think we've dealt with it very well. And I
Speaker 9: think we've prepared as much as we can prepare.
Speaker 5: See, this is the thing right now, if I was
Speaker 5: to get them right now, straight, I strike both of
Speaker 5: the ass out.
Speaker 3: Why do you say so?
Speaker 4: What you say that? Because right now?
Speaker 5: Because right now they're not used to the dirt and
Speaker 5: it's not they're not used to this. See, most people
Speaker 5: don't know when I can do this this when you
Speaker 5: know you played a little baseball, right, Come.
Speaker 4: On, where do you find when I right the wrist,
Speaker 4: you know what's coming right to the heater?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: Because they teach you to read from up here from
Speaker 4: the wrist, right, am I right? Come, I don't talk to.
Speaker 10: Your uncle man personally.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 5: I'm not coming back up until it it gets hotter,
Speaker 5: because it was twenty four degrees. Ryan, I'm probably gonna
Speaker 5: get y'all in the tournaments, I mean team, because now
Speaker 5: this is what we go. I know I'm gonna get
Speaker 5: a chance to throw the pitch out and I'm gonna
Speaker 5: have my jersey. This is what we're gonna set up
Speaker 5: with the coach.
Speaker 4: Dammit.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna come during the week and we're gonna I'm
Speaker 5: telling you, but it's gonna be hard, because y'all gonna
Speaker 5: be you know, in full season, you're gonna be going.
Speaker 4: But if I call him right now straight, or I
Speaker 4: get both on with the heater.
Speaker 10: We're done. We're done.
Speaker 3: We're gonna want hop that thing across the place.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be out of it's sixty feet now, that's
Speaker 2: not this ain little league ready, straight.
Speaker 3: The last time we've seen.
Speaker 4: The picture of guns like that, never both sides.
Speaker 2: I saw Rocker the other he was fighting somebody fighting
Speaker 2: mahomes daddy. You know, you know that's he looked a
Speaker 2: little yoked up. But that's an old school baseball player, man.
Speaker 2: A closer, So you're gonna come out of the bullpen
Speaker 2: and strike these boys. Come on, what do you think
Speaker 2: you're gonna get? What's your mile part hour?
Speaker 4: Come on?
Speaker 5: First of all, First of all, Mama Hall talking about tea,
Speaker 5: Come on, Mama home in my left hand, I'm saying,
Speaker 5: Steve gonna say forty. So if these boys used to
Speaker 5: ninety and the guys doing so, y'all think swerve is
Speaker 5: forty and team y'all crazy, y'all.
Speaker 7: I believe you you got ninety ninety five up there.
Speaker 4: You know you know baseball?
Speaker 2: Dammit, Hey, gash you up, man, because he's gonna take
Speaker 2: your yard. If you get that thing across the place,
Speaker 2: they taking you straight over the fifth. I already know
Speaker 2: that this is what it is, because it's gonna come
Speaker 2: across about like forty eight something like that.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna let the coach get off to a good start,
Speaker 5: get him, give him about fifteen wins under fifteen and one,
Speaker 5: fifteen and two, and when we hit him up and say, coach,
Speaker 5: I'm on away, listen.
Speaker 3: You know workman's time.
Speaker 5: No, Timmy Johns, I ain't need none of that ship
Speaker 5: straight And I'm gonna tell him I want my two nephews.
Speaker 4: That's it. I only got six pitches. That's all I need.

Speaker 3: You know, but I don't.
Speaker 2: I just don't I don't know. You played, You went
Speaker 2: to the sport that you was good at. He was
Speaker 2: a running back. That's why he was swerving. Earth, Why

Speaker 2: I don't think so. You guys are being very nice
Speaker 2: about that. But we're talking about, Oh good lord, what
Speaker 2: is this?
Speaker 10: Whoa? Whoa?
Speaker 6: What is that?
Speaker 4: Miami Harrold Athlete of the Year award? And then you
Speaker 4: know what, I'm the same baseball, all straight football bad man.

Speaker 5: the casket clothes, they better put this one with me.
Speaker 4: It's my baby. I love my kids, but they they
Speaker 4: coming for my baby. Hark Man.
Speaker 2: Look, you started off when you came out of out
Speaker 2: of Rochester atas you went down to Alabama.
Speaker 4: You were roll tied at first before you transferred up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how was that experience down there?
Speaker 7: I mean it was good, the people were great. It
Speaker 7: just wasn't the right fit for me.
Speaker 9: You know, I going down there as a kid, you know,
Speaker 9: you think about think about all the big things, but
Speaker 9: not necessarily all the little things. So when I kind
Speaker 9: of got down there, I kind of realized, you know,
Speaker 9: what what those little things were and what they meant
Speaker 9: to me, and it just didn't line up with me.
Speaker 9: So figured I'd leave there and find what's best for me.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Man, we glad to have you back.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, say that much.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: So you you you originally signed with Alabama, and then
Speaker 2: you know, when you look at yourself, Ryan, you got
Speaker 2: recruited by a lot of from South Carolina, Notre Dame
Speaker 2: school down the road.
Speaker 3: And you turned those guys down to come to East Lands.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I had four siblings that went here.
Speaker 11: None of them played a sport, but kind of just
Speaker 11: carry on that tradition, and obviously the campus is amazing
Speaker 11: and I love, you know, just the atmosphere here.
Speaker 4: I love.
Speaker 10: I love big things, and like going to football games.
Speaker 10: Everything's big.
Speaker 11: You know, there's so many fans, and just to be
Speaker 11: in that environment and to say I'm a part of
Speaker 11: it is pretty awesome. And yeah, like I said, the
Speaker 11: four siblings, so I was able to come here and
Speaker 11: you know, play a sport and it's been amazing so far.
Speaker 10: So that's kind of what it led into that decision.
Speaker 2: Right, last year, you know, you came in as a
Speaker 2: freshman at or too late Saint Mary. It's two time,
Speaker 2: I mean, but national champion. You know, you both played
Speaker 2: for the hit Dolls. But Ryan, you came in and
Speaker 2: then made tenth. You knock out your first home run
Speaker 2: as a spark, Right, how did that feel?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I mean it was getting pretty late in the season
Speaker 11: and I was like, all right, maybe my freshman year,
Speaker 11: I'm not going to have any bombs, and then out
Speaker 11: of no where, you just you hit the home run
Speaker 11: and then it's just like it's just like you don't
Speaker 11: remember it. So running around the bases, it went by
Speaker 11: like that, and then I ended up hitting my second
Speaker 11: one like two games, Yeah, the same exact weekend. So
Speaker 11: I don't know what was in me that weekend, but
Speaker 11: that was probably it's up there in my baseball career moments.
Speaker 2: That was.
Speaker 10: That was amazing. And my mom was there and I
Speaker 10: got to do it on Mother's Day, so that was special.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah against at Minnesota.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Minnesota. Both of them were like in the same
Speaker 10: spin right center field.
Speaker 4: So that was that was cool. Oh man, that's beautiful man,
Speaker 4: I mean being able to yeah, second.
Speaker 3: Base for power.
Speaker 4: I love it. So fella, what's the what's the team goals?
Speaker 5: You know that well, you know, but like I told,
Speaker 5: you know, the ladies, I sit back, you know, I
Speaker 5: love to watch sports, you know what I call the
Speaker 5: second half of the season. And I actually saw the
Speaker 5: softball in Oklahoma came back. I learned they won four
Speaker 5: in a row and things like that. Even with baseball.
Speaker 5: Baseball is kind of you know, I get lost when
Speaker 5: it comes to the playoff time because it's like you
Speaker 5: got to win best two out of three or something
Speaker 5: like that or whatever it is. But what's the team
Speaker 5: goals and what's what's realistic and what you guys personally go.
Speaker 9: I think I think this year, I mean just from
Speaker 9: reading up. Obviously I wasn't here last year, but I
Speaker 9: know last year I don't think went the way everyone wanted.
Speaker 9: So I think I think this year that everyone's kind
Speaker 9: of taking the approach as you know, the only way
Speaker 9: is up. You know, we're not being hunted. Nobody's hunting
Speaker 9: us were the hunters. So I think, you know, we
Speaker 9: got a lot of a lot of guys on the
Speaker 9: team that can play, a lot of guys coming back
Speaker 9: from from Tommy John that will make an impact on
Speaker 9: the mound.
Speaker 7: So that'll be huge for us.
Speaker 9: And I think, you know, personal goals just play involved,
Speaker 9: you know, hitting homers, having fun, making catches. So I
Speaker 9: think that's that's what it's what's in it for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at the end of the day, that's what baseball
Speaker 3: is all about. And the camaraderie.
Speaker 2: They talk about your teammates, you know, have you been
Speaker 2: able to adjust coming in, you know as a transfer
Speaker 2: because you knew a lot of the players obviously for
Speaker 2: your your high school career.
Speaker 4: Pete double a hundred percent.
Speaker 9: So I mean, these the guys are great. You know
Speaker 9: a lot of guys are from around here, and you
Speaker 9: know it's just it's fun to be on the team.
Speaker 9: You're laughing every day. You're going to war every day
Speaker 9: with your guys, So I mean, we're sweating every day
Speaker 9: working out. It's it's it's a blast. So I had
Speaker 9: no problem coming in here and making you know, fifty
Speaker 9: new friends, forty new friends.
Speaker 4: So it's amazing, that's incredible.
Speaker 3: You know you have baseball.
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of changes coming when you're
Speaker 2: looking at the new reform with revenue sharing and things
Speaker 2: like that, if that happens, house settlement happens past. But
Speaker 2: talking about camaraderie, you know Ryan orch Late Saint Mary's
Speaker 2: and I know you've been here if this is your
Speaker 2: second year, But when you look at the football program,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know any of these guys,
Speaker 2: but it seemed like, should we signed two hundred guys
Speaker 2: off of your high school team to come to the
Speaker 2: Michigan State I'm in five, I'm sorry, not two hundred.
Speaker 4: Five guys. Eglitz.
Speaker 2: Is that Eglitz are now going to come to East Lands?
Speaker 2: And like, what are you thinking about when you see
Speaker 2: so much? I guess there's a lot of a lot
Speaker 2: a lot of people looking at or to Lake Saint
Speaker 2: Mary's now because of the sports prominence that you guys.
Speaker 4: Have over there. Yeah.
Speaker 11: I mean when I was there baseball, you know, we
Speaker 11: obviously were a little biased, but we think we met.
Speaker 11: I had the you know, the best baseball team like
Speaker 11: in Michigan history because we were we were pretty good.
Speaker 11: And then we got a lot of Orchid Lake, uh,
Speaker 11: orch Lake Saint Mary's guys here right now on the
Speaker 11: baseball team that I'm playing with. We got a couple
Speaker 11: so guys have played with in the past, and you
Speaker 11: got we got basketball team at Saint Mary's. Studs on
Speaker 11: the football team, like you said, they're coming here. So
Speaker 11: I don't know what what what we're eating there, but
Speaker 11: where we got we built some studs there and the
Speaker 11: shows when they when they get to school and you
Speaker 11: know a lot of guys start playing right away their
Speaker 11: freshman year.
Speaker 4: I swear, isn't that with my team? Son? Go yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean I mean so yeah, this seemed when we were.
Speaker 2: Up there last I mean they were talking about Orchi
Speaker 2: Lake being that I MG type of place.
Speaker 3: Seems like it's becoming that.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, when you look at like the success
Speaker 2: that they're having in so many different areas. You what,
Speaker 2: So when you the culture there, who is the driving
Speaker 2: force behind that?
Speaker 11: I mean there's a lot, a lot that goes into it.
Speaker 11: We got you know, obviously we're in a suit and
Speaker 11: tie every day. So the culture, it's it's pretty awesome
Speaker 11: because my class was about a little over one hundred guys,
Speaker 11: so it's not very big. And I really think like
Speaker 11: I knew every single one really well. So you know
Speaker 11: everybody at that's and when you know, the chemistry is
Speaker 11: just through the roof, I think it you know, goes
Speaker 11: into how you play on the field a little and
Speaker 11: you know, when you're going to work every day with
Speaker 11: the guys that you're super close with, that's what makes
Speaker 11: a big difference in my opinion.
Speaker 2: Oh man, b w you get a chance to go
Speaker 2: to lake and hang out sometimes. Man, See see some
Speaker 2: of the guys that are coming out.
Speaker 4: Not much, not much.
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what they came. They came to play.
Speaker 9: They came to play football at Rochester Adams and you
Speaker 9: know we let them know about the US public school guys.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Well we never got the team to play him in baseball.
Speaker 9: We did a few years back, but not when I
Speaker 9: was there, so you got to give it to him
Speaker 9: though they're they're good.
Speaker 4: So in football, y'all kick dead. That's what he's trying
Speaker 4: to say right there, guys, I mean, he's trying to say.
Speaker 4: He said, it's great.
Speaker 3: That's what I heard.
Speaker 4: That's what I heard, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, guys, you know, talking about the season coming up.
Speaker 2: You know, Jake Boss, your coach. You know, what does
Speaker 2: he mean to you guys? And how's he keep everybody
Speaker 2: focused on the prize? That said I'm talking about winning championships?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, now I've you know, it's my second
Speaker 11: year with him, and I love Coach Boss. He was
Speaker 11: obviously a huge reason why I came here, and he's
Speaker 11: he prepares us really well because it's not I'm sure
Speaker 11: it's not easy coaching and you know this weather, especially
Speaker 11: at this time. So the way he prepares us every
Speaker 11: single day at practice, it is uh, it's it's very well,
Speaker 11: it's very good.
Speaker 10: And he's a huge reason why I'm here. And I
Speaker 10: trust him with everything.
Speaker 11: So you know, if he gives me a task to do,
Speaker 11: I do it because I trust his preparation that it's
Speaker 11: going to make me the best player. And you know,
Speaker 11: me in the fall last year and then going into
Speaker 11: my freshman season, I changed completely and it just shows
Speaker 11: you know his plan for each player and how much
Speaker 11: it works.
Speaker 10: So Coach Boss, I trust him like like crazy.
Speaker 4: For sure. Man got up here one hundred percent.
Speaker 9: I think, you know, coming in as a transfer, you know,
Speaker 9: I didn't know too much about Coach Boss, but as
Speaker 9: soon as I got here, I mean, he's just one
Speaker 9: of those guys. He's been around the game for a while,
Speaker 9: as long with his dad who's coached here for a
Speaker 9: long long time. And you know, you just hear how
Speaker 9: much he loves the game, how much he knows about
Speaker 9: the game. You know, just all those little things, and
Speaker 9: you really develop a you know, a sense of respect
Speaker 9: for him, and you want to win, You want to
Speaker 9: go the extra mile, you want to put the extra
Speaker 9: work in for a guy like him. So having him
