31
00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:44,120
Latui the baller shot caller. Logan has been having himself

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,159
a fantastic hear when you come back. The biggest thing

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,640
is not just some people say maybe the nil money. Look,

34
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,599
it's a lot more than that. It's can you elevate

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:08,120
your play and you elevate what you've already done. And

36
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:11,319
Logan's been having a phenomenal year. The Red Shirt senior

37
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,319
defensive end two under sixty pounds six foot two from

38
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,639
West Valley went to Weaber State before he transferred to BYU.

39
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:19,759
Speaker 3: Has been balling out this year.

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: Has forty one total tackles, seventeen solo, twenty four assistant,

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,520
four tackles for loss.

42
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,759
Speaker 3: Hasn't gotten a sack yet.

43
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:30,199
Speaker 2: The season that could be possible could be possible in

44
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,680
a game against UCF with the senior stepping up and

45
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:35,479
he's had three pass breakups. The interception at Iowa State,

46
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,319
I remember that that turn the momentum, And of course

47
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:43,560
Logan is top ten right now in tackles for BYU

48
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:45,879
on the team. That's exactly what you want to see

49
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,039
out of your red shirt senior, the statesman as some

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,199
people have called him in this media availability sound that

51
00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:54,560
we're about to get to leading BYU has a lot

52
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:57,719
of talent along that defensive line.

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: Well, let's get into the sound.

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: Logan tweet was asked questions by the media from US

55
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,319
yesterday in dau's preparation game for UCF. We're gonna go

56
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:10,240
question by question, Logan, Let's start with number one, if

57
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,439
you don't mind, Kalani said, momentum was gained from the

58
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,479
win over Cincinnati. How would you describe the momentum this

59
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,599
team as going into the season finale against UCF.

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 4: I feel.

61
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:25,479
Speaker 5: That as the weeks have gone on throughout the season,

62
00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:28,520
our team has just been closer, playing better as a unit,

63
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,159
and on all three phases, special teams, offensive, defense, and

64
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:36,800
I feel like going into this final game, we're just

65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,719
starting to hit our peak.

66
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: So I'm excited, just starting to hit their peak. He

67
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
says he's excited.

68
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: He should be. There's a lot to play for.

69
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,039
Speaker 2: Still, it's a lot on the season, lot, a lot

70
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,360
that lies on the line.

71
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,719
Speaker 3: UCF is a big game.

72
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:52,439
Speaker 2: They stand in your way of a big twelve title

73
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:54,439
birth Utahs praying on your downfall.

74
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: They're praying. Trust me.

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: Look guys, you're here at ESPN the fan, the Brothers

76
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,680
station seven hundreds not too far away.

77
00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:02,599
Speaker 3: I heard him.

78
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: I heard what the Bill Rileys were saying in Scott

79
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:09,599
Mitchell's Cincinnati wasn't help you, Right, they're not, and UCF

80
00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:11,919
ain't gonna help you either. You're not getting in. I

81
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,120
don't think b Yu is gonna take care of business.

82
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:17,920
And he's excited. So we'll see number two logan for

83
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,639
you Senior day coming up. Last year you went through

84
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:23,240
this against Houston. You're gonna get yourself two blankets. I

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,839
guess you got an extra year. Are you better equipped

86
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:27,439
to experience this day emotionally now?

87
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I'll say yeah, but it's still gonna be

88
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,399
a bittersweet moment, especially with the team that we have

89
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,480
and uh, my experiences here, it's it's been nothing showed

90
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,759
amazing here at BOU And I'm glad I've been able

91
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,959
to spend my time here. On the time I've spent

92
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,399
here and yeah, just taking it all in, grateful for

93
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,560
the chance I've been here, and I'm grateful for the

94
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,439
season that we've.

95
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: Had, Grateful for his time at bo you the seasons

96
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,240
that he had, and it's been a phenomenal season for sure. Look,

97
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,360
double digit win seasons are always hard to come by.

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,720
No one, and I mean no one takes those for granted.

99
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,959
Fans don't. Definitely, the players I know don't. Coaches don't.

100
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,560
So you gotta enjoy it. Not all good things come

101
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,279
to an end. And Logan Litui's time at BAU is

102
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:17,079
coming to n N number three. Logan second week, you

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,920
guys have been named the Big twelve defensive line of

104
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,879
the week. How aware are you of those recognitions and

105
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,560
do you take pride as being the senior statesman of

106
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,000
that group.

107
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we take a lot of pride and

108
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,959
trying to stop the ball, stop the run. We prot

109
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:35,920
ourselves in practice going into one of the top o

110
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,199
line in the nation. I feel like, and you've seen

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,399
in this past game of our LJ in his rushing yards,

112
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:44,759
but I feel like in practice we go against one

113
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,879
of the best. So it's good to go out and

114
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,000
perform on Saturdays, especially when we only have three down

115
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,839
linemen and being able to stop the run, and it's

116
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,680
a we need all eleving guys, so it's not just

117
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,759
a D line. But like I said, we're just playing

118
00:05:58,759 --> 00:05:59,920
better as a unit each and every.

119
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,079
Speaker 2: Week, plan better each and every week as a unit,

120
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,759
which they are. Hey, yeah, three down linemen Keanu and

121
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,439
Tonavasas taking the blox, allowing Jack Kelly and Isaiah Glaska

122
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,879
to make plays as well as JT. And you know logan, look,

123
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,759
number fifty seven draws a lot of attention, a lot

124
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:21,639
of attention in the number four logan. As the older

125
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,079
statesman on the defensive line, give us some insight on

126
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,600
how you've been able to help guys like Tessie Lea

127
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,480
Khanna Lucy Doma Bell.

128
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 5: Those two already well equipped when they got into the system.

129
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:37,800
I want to say I had much to do with it.

130
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:44,480
I'm it's great seeing those two and especially all the

131
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:47,240
other dns in the room. A lot of great young talent,

132
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:50,800
and the team's going to be in good hands, especially

133
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,439
in that position for a while. But it's it's it's

134
00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:56,319
been fun to be around those young guys and to

135
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,959
be able to share what I've learned throughout the years

136
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,480
and see them go out on Saturdays and perform and

137
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,879
have success, and it's it's just a fun, fun room

138
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:06,279
to be in.

139
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,639
Speaker 3: Definitely a fun room to be in.

140
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,839
Speaker 2: I couldn't imagine being in that room with the young

141
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,199
talent that probably has a higher upseiling high rated stars.

142
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:17,519
Brandon Gurney was declared of about it. He thinks that

143
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,000
Nucy can take the role of Jack Kelly. The will

144
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,800
be just fine. Look they got that, they got aced,

145
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:23,439
they got a bunch of guys. They got a bunch

146
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,839
of guys in this room. I from Maciata, I think

147
00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:28,839
he's in that retcher. Look, Bo's got some talented guys

148
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:30,519
that think they're gonna be falling out to step it up.

149
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: Next year.

150
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,199
Speaker 2: So I think even if Isaiah Lasker did declare and

151
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:36,600
he didn't come back, You're gonna have a bunch of

152
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:39,480
guys that are gonna have breakout years.

153
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: The portal's gonna be calling their name.

154
00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:43,319
Speaker 2: You just hope that you can retain all of them,

155
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,240
because that's gonna be the most difficult part in this

156
00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:47,920
day and age of college ath athletics.

157
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:49,639
Speaker 3: Logan, You've been effective in your role.

158
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: What led to you being so successful in your opinion

159
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,000
this season.

160
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,319
Speaker 5: I'll say, just understanding our defensive line goals. We have

161
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:02,519
goals and we want to accomplish as a defensive line

162
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,920
unit and personally, and I feel like, especially going into

163
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,240
this season, I just wanted to make sure there was

164
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,720
nothing left unsaid or no doubts left on the table

165
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,920
and just trying to spill it every week. And I'm

166
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,000
just surrounded by great players. We have some great dtackles

167
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,040
and dns and in our defensive line group, and just

168
00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:26,639
playing against them just makes me look better when the

169
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:28,879
ball comes to me. So yeah, I gotta tip my

170
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,639
hat to those guys.

171
00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:32,279
Speaker 2: Leave nothing on the table. So the last season you

172
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,200
got a ball out, don't give up. You're gonna see

173
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,960
a bunch of guys. Look, I think on top of Logan,

174
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,080
you're gonna see Kiana Town of Vasta ball out too.

175
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,960
He could technically declare for the draft if he wanted to.

176
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,519
He's got another year of eligibility. I think he's red

177
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:47,480
shirt junior to a lot of guys on this team

178
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,639
that are gonna be going ham No pun intended for

179
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,480
Thanksgiving on Thursday this week, because you know they're not

180
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,559
gonna They're not gonna see the field maybe next year

181
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,440
if they decide to go. It could be Logan's out

182
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,360
of eligibility, so he's not and Keanus does one more year.

183
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,639
He'll decide if you'll pick it up or not. But hey,

184
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,919
you gotta play to the fullest because this could be

185
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:12,519
a lot of people's last eighteen guys. I mentioned earlier

186
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:15,960
game in Lavelle at Ward Stadium, number six. For a

187
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,480
lot of guys, when they get to this, they talk

188
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:21,679
about it snaks up on them. Could you've imagined that

189
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,000
you be coming to this point having come from we

190
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,080
were state Logan.

191
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 5: Uh No, Actually, that's that's something pretty surreal to me,

192
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:33,679
especially I speak about this with my wife often being

193
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:33,960
in the.

194
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 4: Situation that we're in.

195
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 5: It's pretty squirrel to be here at BAU top ten,

196
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:46,360
we're top ten team in the nation, you know, Big

197
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,240
twelve championship contenders, just all those recognitions. It's it's pretty

198
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,720
crazy to see that that's where we're at here, And

199
00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:55,480
I wouldn't be able to say that that's what I

200
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,559
envisioned when I my freshman year at we were State.

201
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:02,399
But like I said, said, I'm grateful to our heavenly

202
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,799
Father and what he's blessed me with and all these

203
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,840
opportunities in these doors that I've opened in my life

204
00:10:07,879 --> 00:10:10,240
to lead me to where I'm at today. So yeah,

205
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:14,559
it's it's pretty surreal, but I'm just grateful that I'm here.

206
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:17,399
Speaker 2: Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find

207
00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:20,279
the way. And Heavenly Father helped Logan find the way

208
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,879
to BYU. Know, and he said he was talking about

209
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
is his wife and family. Then situation that he's in.

210
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,240
I mean a lot of people want to play for BYU.

211
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:32,600
A lot of people want to play for BYU. A

212
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,200
lot of these kids said they grew up with it.

213
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,559
Give a little tease because we're gonna have Austin Leousa

214
00:10:36,639 --> 00:10:39,360
sound later In the third hour, Austin mentioned that growing

215
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:41,720
up he wanted to play for BYU as well. It's

216
00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:44,679
a lot of people on this roster that dream about it.

217
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,960
Tannel wall the Great Waller Provo mentioning him again was

218
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,799
a walk on in the scholarship. That's truly the Kalani culture.

219
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,919
Kalana guys b Yu guys that want to be here,

220
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,039
and Logan is a BYU guy with many others. Let's

221
00:10:59,039 --> 00:11:01,519
get the number seven though, not to get too personal,

222
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,039
but you grab a special little man and put him

223
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,360
on your shoulder. What does that mean to share those

224
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,159
moments with your family here at b YU.

225
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he's three years old. I think I have

226
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,240
credit that to the culture that coach Koloney's established here,

227
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,200
making us feel welcome, our families feel welcome. And yeah,

228
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,080
I just that's something I look forward to every home

229
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,399
game for the past few years, being able to take

230
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:29,919
my son around when we high five the fans. And

231
00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:32,879
he actually looks forward to that too, Like every every

232
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:35,080
game day when he runs up to me, I think

233
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,200
he's gonna say, like, good job dad or whatever, but

234
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:40,200
he says, oh, let's go high five. I'm like all right,

235
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:43,240
So I think that's a fun experience. It's gonna be

236
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:44,519
one of the core memories for sure.

237
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:45,919
Speaker 4: Playing here at.

238
00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:50,639
Speaker 2: Bou definitely gonna be a core member. Definitely gonna be

239
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,840
a core memory, no doubt about it at all. Logan

240
00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:56,639
Litui gonna remember moments with his son. Tried to Shaun

241
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,960
Walker on doing the Capitol j journalism. He asked the

242
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:01,440
question and new how old his son was. I think

243
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,600
both of those look or yeah. I mean, you really

244
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,720
have to have a good relationship with the player, which

245
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:10,039
journalists can have to do that. I remember Tony Jones

246
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,919
coming to our class. He got invited to Donovan Mitchell's

247
00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:15,960
wedding this past summer when he got married. So you're

248
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,039
able to have relationships in the job. So pay attention

249
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,000
to little details. Again, like Seawan had said, he didn't

250
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,200
want to get too personal, but when you pay attention

251
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:26,360
to who's around and those and he asked those questions.

252
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 3: There's always a story.

253
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: Something I learned in school from Jeff Call There's always

254
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,919
a story there, you just have to find it.

255
00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 3: I've been able to apply that now.

256
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,799
Speaker 2: I know I'm more on the radio interviewing side, maybe

257
00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:38,200
less on the writing, but the principle still applies. You

258
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,399
can ask those questions in these availabilities that Sean was

259
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,759
able to do right there, So shout out to Sean Walker.

260
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 3: Good question, great question. Sean.

261
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: Got to give you credit where credit's due. All right,

262
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:50,919
Logan number eight, let's get you out of here on this.

263
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,559
You're brought up that it's surreal to be at BYU,

264
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,440
to be on this team and after everything that you've had,

265
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:03,039
it to navigate through the portal has changed the landscape. Look,

266
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,240
I mean, for crying out loud, who knows where you

267
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:10,120
know Logan would have been if it wasn't for the portal,

268
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,519
And I think he benefited from the portal in a

269
00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:14,519
positive way. But how have you been able to navigate

270
00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:18,000
the new landscape of college athletics with nil and the

271
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,919
portal in European?

272
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the new landscape escape of the sport

273
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,600
is really deserving for the athletes. Yeah, coming in and

274
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,639
seeing where it was before to where it's at now.

275
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:37,240
I think it's it's it's the way to go to

276
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:43,679
be athlete in college. It's a great experience, you know,

277
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,960
and here at BOU they take care of you your families,

278
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,279
and it's it's been just a great expense overall being

279
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,720
in college and seeing all the different changes that have happened.

280
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,440
But yeah, it's it's pretty crazy, but I feel like

281
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,240
that that's one of the blessings I've had to sperience

282
00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:02,480
of my life is just being a collegiate athlete and

283
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,559
especially here at BOU.

284
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has definitely been something that a lot of

285
00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:11,799
players have had to navigate. Something that's interesting. I'm gonna

286
00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:14,159
ask Talon Alfred that question here in the next segment.

287
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,519
But yeah, when you're at BYU and you've been there

288
00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:22,879
that long and the portal, you know, maybe guys don't

289
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:25,919
leave because of relationships. Maybe guys don't leave because of

290
00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:28,159
the culture. I actually know they don't because of that.

291
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,240
You're gonna have some that that are You're gonna lose

292
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:35,080
some like look, you're gonna lose the Harrison Taggarts, guys

293
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,600
that want to for sure be the starter maybe, and

294
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:43,480
you got guys behind them that are pushing Sialia, Sarah Right,

295
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,720
Max Alfred, Jay, Brian Strawther. It's a lot of talent

296
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,600
in that room. And I know Max has been getting

297
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,039
a lot of reps in Sali. But Shay and were

298
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,879
rotating to remind you a lot of people forget that

299
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:57,399
Shae and Cial both are rotating. But that just shows

300
00:14:57,399 --> 00:14:59,720
you how impactful Chate Brian Strather is and be what

301
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,600
you get them back, saying guys, if you're worried about

302
00:15:02,679 --> 00:15:06,279
Jack and Isaiah leaving, don't be Yeah, Max Alfred here too.

303
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,000
You know how people perform a year two in Jay

304
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,480
Hill and Aaron roddicks schemes. You know how that goes.

305
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,240
We've seen that before. Come on, now you saw what

306
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,399
happened last year? Oh b we was five and seven

307
00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:19,360
and coming in to twenty twenty four season, what did they do?

308
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,200
Eleven and two? Right back at it, So don't worry,

309
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,960
have no fear. Jay Hill and a Rod are here

310
00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:28,720
just making it up on the spot. But no, look

311
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:32,320
you got them back logan back for another year and

312
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,919
the portal has changed things. But BYU is both benefited

313
00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:38,480
from it, the portal and the portal that take it away.

314
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,879
It giveth and you give it, it taketh, then it

315
00:15:40,919 --> 00:15:43,279
giveth receive it whatever. Ben says, what is a word?

316
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,360
But it's the truth. It's very true. It took it,

317
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,159
Harrison taggerd It took it to Keeling Marion. But it

318
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,200
also gave it you Darius Lassiter. It also gave it you,

319
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:55,840
Nucy Thalmapao. It gave it you Jack Kelly, just saying

320
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,720
it's giving you a bunch of great dudes. It's taking

321
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,799
some way, but more positive than negative. I think about that.

322
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,679
Look gave it. It gave it you Andrew Gentry. It

323
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:08,960
gave it you Isaiah Jada. Those guys are going to

324
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:15,720
be NFL offensive Lineman, right, It gave it you, Whalen Hey,

325
00:16:16,759 --> 00:16:19,799
you benefit sometimes from that. It gave it you, Keanu Tonavasa.

326
00:16:19,879 --> 00:16:21,639
Let me not miss out on saying that one, because

327
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:23,240
I know someone's gonna come from me if I don't.

328
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,600
Both the portal take it and it giveth and at

329
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:31,639
the end of the day, sometimes you have to just accept,

330
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:33,559
you know that that's the nature of it. That's the

331
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:36,960
nature of college athletics now, Belogan latuiy it gave it

332
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,200
you him from Weaver to Byu And that's crazy. It's

333
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,480
still crazy to think, you know, as I bring up

334
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,519
that Staturday brought to you by banderwalthbanderwelf dot com, that

335
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:50,159
the average athlete will transfer two times before they find

336
00:16:50,159 --> 00:16:52,279
a new home it's like one point seven, one point eight.

337
00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:54,879
Speaker 3: It's crazy. Go look at athletics. Now, look at the

338
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:55,519
nature of it.

339
00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: I mean, Pete NACo's reported this is more Big twelve

340
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,120
conference news. But Sam Levin and Azona State not gonna

341
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,000
be a factor next year, not gonna be a problem.

342
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,200
I think they have a good backup quarterback. But is

343
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:07,599
Kenny Dillingham gonna end up at LSU or Ole Miss?

344
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:09,519
And is Sam Levitt gonna follow? You have no idea,

345
00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:13,920
Blane Kiffin and sec. That school is a mess. Look, hey,

346
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,359
it might take it. The portal is gonna take it,

347
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,079
Sam levit away. He went from Michigan State to Arizona State,

348
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,039
now somewhere else. That's what happens in the portal, guys.

349
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,240
So what happens in the portal? Keilan Maryon from Yukon

350
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:32,160
to BYU, over to Miami. Telling you to multitude of athletes,

351
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,680
the transfer for sure once, if not twice, as it's

352
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,839
a nature of college athletics. But you know what, you

353
00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:40,880
don't have to transfer from your cleaning services men.

354
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,400

Draper or Riverton. Gonna get into this player profile segment.

426
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:05,119
Let's get to know Talent now for you a little bit.

427
00:21:05,759 --> 00:21:08,640
I know that sometimes he might get overlooked because he's

428
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,559
in a big time safety room. That's a lot of

429
00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:14,680
guys in this room and Talent is one of those guys.

430
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,839
But remind you, guys, when Byu was going through that

431
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:22,319
rough season, remember when Delo was getting hurt, Caleb Hayes,

432
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,880
Talon and I know that those were the cornerbacks, but

433
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,599
those safety guys in mileage, more guys are get nicked up.

434
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,599
And Talent had a step into a big role, had

435
00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:33,079
to come in and play earlier than he thought. But

436
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,359
that experience, he was the reason why BA was able

437
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,079
to help. You know, and the defeating Houston last year

438
00:21:39,759 --> 00:21:44,440
had that kickoff return for a touchdown. Houston tried to

439
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,279
onside him. Arizona State got him, but they did it

440
00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:49,480
to them two weeks.

441
00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: In a row. They were prepared. And that's what I love.

442
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: Talent didn't get on the football the first time, made

443
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,480
the mistake at Arizona State. But that's why I love

444
00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:58,400
when people watch tape because he saw it. Houston tried

445
00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,880
and he took it to the house. And man is

446
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,079
he fast too faster than a lot of people might think.

447
00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:05,039
But let's get get caught up with talent now for you.

448
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,440
Is he was pragged by the media with with the

449
00:22:09,519 --> 00:22:12,720
questions we asked him yesterday in the media availability. Let's

450
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,839
start with number one. Tanner Senior Day is coming up

451
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,160

453
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,000
up and down. So what are your emotions going into

454
00:22:24,039 --> 00:22:24,400

455
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:28,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they're kind of been building up.

456
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 6: Over the last five years, but emotions are high this week,

457

all over the country to support me this week.

462
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,559
Speaker 4: And yeah, I'm just super grateful for what I've been.

463
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,039
Speaker 6: Able to accomplish BYU and the relationships that I've built

And grateful for coaches and teammates. And yeah, my career

has been great. It's been, like you said, a little

467
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:10,440
ups and downs. Akiles collarbone injuries, but being able to

468
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,319

00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:30,319
a lot of other talented guys. The six to two hundred

498
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,200
and five pound red shirt safety out of Auburn, Washington,

499
00:24:34,279 --> 00:24:38,359
played at Auburn Mount View High School. In his career,

500
00:24:38,759 --> 00:24:42,279
talents played in forty games started in eleven, has totaled

501
00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:46,119
seventy four tackles, forty four solo, thirty assisted, one tackle

502
00:24:46,319 --> 00:24:49,279
for lost and he's got two fumble recoveries n I

503
00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:52,920
N T baby, and then two pass breakups as well.

504
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,559
You'd love to oh, and then don't forget the punk

505
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,359
return for that and that punk out the kickoff return

506
00:24:58,599 --> 00:25:01,680
for a touchdown as as well. He got to the house.

507
00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:03,920
Don't let anybody tell you differently. He did, and he

508
00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:06,599
was moving the gallop and lack a great gazelle. I

509
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,200
need to know what that speed is, Talent. Gonna have

510
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,160
to ask you what that speed is, buddy, because you

511
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,599
were moving. But yeah, Telan Alfred, he's had a great career,

512
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,519
so I think when he looks back, yeah, he's he's

513
00:25:14,519 --> 00:25:15,440
battled some aniversary.

514
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: He's battled him up and down in this.

515
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,759
Speaker 2: But I don't think Talent's going to be disappointed at

516
00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:23,279
all with the career that he's had. And when it's

517
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:25,839
all said and done, Once a cougar, always a cougar.

518
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,920
As they say, let's keep it moving along, Talent. Let's

519
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,839
go to number two. Coming off the Cincinnati game. What

520
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,359
momentum did you gain from that win? And how can

521
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,799
you take that going into UCF.

522
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 6: Now, yeah, yeah, that was a big win whennew going

523
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,839
in that if we win the next two games that

524
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,880
we have a chance to go to the college a

525
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,839
Big twelve championship game and have a chance to win

526
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,160
the Big Twelve, which is a huge deal. And obviously

527
00:25:51,319 --> 00:25:54,039
be able to continue playing after that, So knowing that's

528
00:25:54,079 --> 00:25:55,680
a big game, and being able to go in and

529
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,640
execute and you know, play complimentary football, all three phases

530
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,839
working in other Obviously there was you know, things here

531
00:26:02,839 --> 00:26:05,000
and there that we have to clean up, but seeing

532
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:08,160
the team fight and play together was super inspiring and

533
00:26:09,759 --> 00:26:11,519
gives us, you know, gives the team a lot of

534
00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:15,880
confidence moving forward that you know, we still Colonne might

535
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,359
say it was two thousands of every week that we

536
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,440
haven't played our best best yet you know, full sixty

537
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,119
minutes of what we know we can do and as

538
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,319
we strive to you know, get to that. I know

539
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,599
that we can accomplish a lot coming up. And but yeah,

540
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,160
like you said, there's a lot of momental a lot

541
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,200
of confidence with the team and moving forward and excited

542
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,400
to see what we can do in these next few weeks.

543
00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:39,759
Speaker 2: Excited to see what they can do in the next

544
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:43,400
few weeks, no doubt about it. Talan Alfree one hundred

545
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,680
percent they can build on it. And he's right. He

546
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,279
even mentioned the College Football Playoffs. He's not wrong. Look

547
00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:52,720
if other people losing you beat up on UCF, he's

548
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,839
not wrong. This winning this game does give you an

549
00:26:54,839 --> 00:26:57,400
opportunity to go to the College Football Playoffs if you

550
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,559
win the Big Twelve. Now the committee has said what

551
00:26:59,559 --> 00:27:01,759
they've said, you're not gonna get in because you got

552
00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:05,039
dominated in one game, which is crazy. But I guess

553
00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:07,119
you know that wasn't a good loss because you got dominated.

554
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,240
But these other people aren't even beating enough of bowl

555
00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:13,279
eligible teams, which is another story I guess for another day.

556
00:27:13,319 --> 00:27:16,880
But it's Blasphamists. I tell you, Blasphamius. But look, you

557
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,319
win against UCF, you're going to Arlington. If you're able

558
00:27:20,319 --> 00:27:22,960
to beat Texas Tech, you're going to the Big Total Game. Look,

559
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,160
you might even have a chance if you lose close enough.

560
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,119
Now we'll see what happens with the other people in front.

561
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,559
But you never know, could bou be that final at

562
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,960
large to get The committee says they won't punish you

563
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,640
for losing the conference championship. Maybe what you can do

564
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,200
in the conference championship, maybe what be what you can

565
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,160
do is if you make it competitive and you losing

566
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,480
a last driver like a field goal or something, or

567
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:45,640
they have the ball last after you've tied the game

568
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,519
where you took the lead.

569
00:27:47,079 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 3: Maybe what they'll say is you made that game super competitive.

570
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:49,680
You know what.

571
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 2: You can't compete in the college football playoffs as the

572
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,839
twelve seed, which would suck because if you play Texas

573
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,480
Texas the five, you go right back the Lubbock. Oh man,

574
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,000
you hope that doesn't happen. You hope that doesn't happen. Anyway,

575
00:28:02,079 --> 00:28:04,839
let's continue on talent number three.

576
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,519
Speaker 3: Baby. From the time you signed with b y.

577
00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:10,759
Speaker 2: U, the college football landscape has changed completely, like completely

578
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:14,480
all over. A lot of athletes who experience has changed,

579
00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:18,680
you know, have benefited from it, but they've also had drawbacks.

580
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,279
What have been your I guess benefits from it and

581
00:28:22,599 --> 00:28:25,440
what have been your drawbacks from the college football landscape changing?

582
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

583
00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Like you said, I've been here from signings

584
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,400
and now it's been a good amount of time and

585
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,359
I've seen a lot of change experience. You know, initially

586
00:28:38,079 --> 00:28:40,599
when nil was gonna started to be a thing, and

587
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:42,920
then now it's now it's revenue sharing and that's still

588
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,640
ever changing and going to continue to evolve as time

589
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:47,400
goes on, but.

590
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 4: You got a portal and all that. It's been. It's

591
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,240
been interesting, been super lucky and fortunately and.

592
00:28:54,119 --> 00:28:55,599
Speaker 6: Blessed to be able to be able to stay here

593
00:28:55,599 --> 00:28:57,440
at BOU the whole time and to be able to

594
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,359
you know, benefit from those things being here at BUYU.

595
00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:06,880
And I think, yeah, as college football kind of progresses

596
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,799
and evolves, it's it's still just football. You still have

597
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:14,279
to play between the lines and that's what really matters,

598
00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:17,640
doesn't really matter anything else off the field. Whover has

599
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,960
the most points, then the game wins and that's what

600
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:22,440
goes in the win column and.

601
00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 4: That's what matters.

602
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,519
Speaker 6: And so being able to be part of the this

603
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,440
program and see what we've been able to do the

604
00:29:26,519 --> 00:29:28,839
last couple of years, even though there's been a lot

605
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,720
of change, it's been it's been amazing. And I think

606
00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:35,960
Colonne has done a good job with obviously things on

607
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,400
the field, but.

608
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,279
Speaker 4: Off the field as well.

609
00:29:37,319 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 6: And you know, hiring you know, strength staff coaches, you know,

610
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,839
new defensive coaches, and you know new even new offensive

611
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:49,279
coaches for position groups and stuff like that. It's just

612
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:52,680
goes to show that he great man, great coach and

613
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,680
he's the man for the job, and I yeah, I

614
00:29:56,799 --> 00:29:59,839
love Colonne and I think he's handled the change as well.

615
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:02,960
And let's trickle down to the players and we've handled it,

616
00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:04,920
I think well, and it's been fun.

617
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: Kalanie brings up a said Kalona Good as gracious talent

618
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,880
brings up a good point about Kilani off the field

619
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,920
is probably one of the biggest. Kevin Gilbride, Jay Hill

620
00:30:16,279 --> 00:30:19,000
obviously a rod was already you know, they're under grimes,

621
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:24,680
but that was brought in. Look, I mean bringing in

622
00:30:24,759 --> 00:30:27,799
Kevin Gilbride, I think was tremendous. I think people aren't

623
00:30:27,799 --> 00:30:30,559
looking at how big that was for the tight end room.

624
00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:33,319
And then to couple that as well, because Carson Rand's

625
00:30:33,319 --> 00:30:36,000
a great blocking tight end. T J. Woods, you know,

626
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,599
coach Funk was gone and where are you going to

627
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,839
turn to? You got t J Woods. He shaved a beard,

628
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,279
he got the mustache, and the run game has been

629
00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:47,079
phenomenal and we forget about this. We may be as

630
00:30:47,119 --> 00:30:51,519
media members as well as you know, maybe fans. Aiden

631
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,039
Robbins was one of the reasons why he got drafted

632
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:55,319
t J.

633
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 3: Woods. LJ.

634
00:30:56,319 --> 00:30:59,359
Speaker 2: Martin is about to get drafted this next year's draft.

635
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,279
If you players, I believe you will. Why TJ Woods.

636
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,279
TJ Woods, that offensive line run game coordinator with a

637
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,799
rod like that goes a long way. Klannie Higher, good higher,

638
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,839
Kilanie J. Hill phenomenal higher, Kevin Gerby phenomenal higher. Right,

639
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,039
you can go down the list. Matt Mitchell on the

640
00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:23,400
staff as well. Offensively, he mentioned that, So that's a

641
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,160
great point that talent brings up because I think that

642
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:28,039
gets overlooked. I think it gets overlooked early and it

643
00:31:28,039 --> 00:31:31,880
gets overlooked often. That's that's a really big move right there,

644
00:31:32,319 --> 00:31:34,880
really big, and shout out the talent on bringing it up.

645
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:39,079
I really am impressed because Kilanie's staff is not an

646
00:31:39,119 --> 00:31:41,519
opportunity that you get to keep this staff together. Look,

647
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:44,319
Gennaro Gilfer got promoted to a defensive pass game coordinator.

648
00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:46,720
Jay Hill thought that was a great promotion. You can't

649
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,599
tell me Bill these cornerbacks on right, You don't think

650
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,720
Evan Johnson is gonna go to the league. Evan's got

651
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,359
a chance. Drey Alexander has a lot of upsiding. He's

652
00:31:53,359 --> 00:31:56,160
playing well, He's only gonna get better. He's gonna go.

653
00:31:56,279 --> 00:31:59,319
So look, these moves the coaching staff moves, the coach

654
00:31:59,359 --> 00:32:02,079
is only as good as his offensive coordinator, his pieces,

655
00:32:02,079 --> 00:32:04,680
and the position coaches. So I love that Talent brought

656
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,440
that up, especially in the world of NIOL where guys

657
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,759
can just hop in and leave. They can leave whenever

658
00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:11,240
they want and say, Okay, you know I'm not gonna

659
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,920
be here bye, I'm.

660
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:13,359
Speaker 3: Gonna take off.

661
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,759
Speaker 2: Speaking of of taking off talent, You've touched on this

662
00:32:16,839 --> 00:32:18,400
a little bit in the last question.

663
00:32:18,279 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 3: That I asked you. But we'll always kept your.

664
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: BYU, especially in this landscape where it's easy, just the balance,

665
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:25,720
if you're not getting the snap count or the playtime

666
00:32:26,079 --> 00:32:27,319
that you want, why did you stay?

667
00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:31,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just went back to relationships, and.

668
00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:36,759
Speaker 6: You know, being here for now five years, I've the

669
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,960
relationships that I've built are hard to leave and hard

670
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,400
to give up if I were to, you know, go

671
00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:48,400
somewhere else. And I've always I've always thought, you know,

672
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,200
even being recruited and everything, that bou was the place

673
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,359
for me where I could thrive in all areas of

674
00:32:54,359 --> 00:32:58,160
my life. And it's you know, having the having come

675
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,240
here now and seeing the seeing what's happened and what

676
00:33:01,319 --> 00:33:02,160
I've experienced.

677
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,079
Speaker 4: It's definitely true.

678
00:33:03,119 --> 00:33:04,799
Speaker 6: It's the best place to go if you want to

679
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,839
thrive in all the airs of your life. And so yeah,

680
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,720
that's what really kept me here is the environment of

681
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,200
the culture.

682
00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:14,519
Speaker 4: Relationships and teammates and all that.

683
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 3: Environment.

684
00:33:16,759 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: Relationships, culture, all of that contagious. As as I always say, Look,

685
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:23,920
I think this is something that's tremendous.

686
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,119
Speaker 3: I think this gets overlooked.

687
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: I really, really really think that the culture is why

688
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,200
people want to be with Kilani. Like Trey Alexander talks

689
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,119
about this a lot. He posted a picture on the

690
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,599
social media. Look, I gotta pay attention to these details.

691
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:37,240
He says, thank you for taking a chance on me,

692
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,440
because like it was a picture of Kilani holding him

693
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,720
by the helmet, and trade was coming back, like these

694
00:33:41,759 --> 00:33:45,200
relationships matter, these players, this culture that Kilani has. I've

695
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,079
been told by many of people on off the court

696
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:51,000
selling the court goodness gracious is gonna get chastised because

697
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,480
I always have a basketball reference in football season. Brain

698
00:33:53,519 --> 00:33:56,000
day is gonna get me CEO of Odeon mince where

699
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,039
that's what the segments brought you by anyway.

700
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,359
Speaker 3: But the point is, think about it.

701
00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: When someone leaves a job and this actually fits perfectly

702
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,720
into you know, this is analogy I'm going to use.

703
00:34:06,759 --> 00:34:09,320
When you leave a job, you're leaving for what two reasons,

704
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,559
Either higher pay right promotion, higher pay position if you

705
00:34:13,559 --> 00:34:16,039
didn't get at your other job and they won't, you know,

706
00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:19,239
make you comfortable, Or you're leaving because you're quitting a supervisor.

707
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,719
No one ever quits a job because they hate the job.

708
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,920
You quit for two reasons, either you don't like your

709
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,960
supervisor or because you're getting more money elsewhere. It's the

710
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,000
only time you leave a job. It's the only time

711
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:32,239
unless you've been fire for hr reasons. Then that's a

712
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,199
completely different reason. I hope that doesn't happen to anybody.

713
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,920
I've seen that happen to other people. Very messy situation.

714
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,320
But the point that I bring up is that's the

715
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,840
only time that you're leaving or moving on. Same thing

716
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,679
with me in this job and being the executive producer

717
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,679
of the program happens.

718
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 3: You know, they keep you comfortable.

719
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: You stay unless someone else is willing to pay you

720
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,519
that market rate, and sometimes they are. And you see

721
00:34:54,519 --> 00:34:57,199
that in the landscape of nil people get their market rate,

722
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,559
but at BYU, you're getting paid your market rate. You're

723
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:03,599
getting paid the culture I connected the same here wrong.

724
00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:05,639
You've been there a long time. It's been like five years.

725
00:35:06,039 --> 00:35:07,800
I love the culture that we have here at ESPN

726
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,840
and fan on Cooper Sports have been critical. I love

727
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,519
my team. I'm getting my market rate and the environment

728
00:35:14,559 --> 00:35:16,960
and the relationships I have are fantastic. So that's given

729
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,199
you my perspective from a journalistic perspective, from a media perspective.

730
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,440
So imagine that, and I make way less than what

731
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,039
these dudes are making. These dudes are going to be

732
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,679
setting up their families and you know, their kids and

733
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:32,840
their kids' kids potentially look like think about that, and

734
00:35:33,199 --> 00:35:35,559
that's why they've stayed it is because of those relationships.

735
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:38,800
So look, you can never pass up good relationships. You

736
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,880
can never pass up an opportunity, you know, to further

737
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,199
yourself when you have good people around you. And that's

738
00:35:45,199 --> 00:35:47,679
what Kalani has, That's what Bayu is. So shout out

739
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:49,079
to Talent on letting us know and giving us a

740
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:51,039
little bit of insight. Talent, let's get you out of

741
00:35:51,079 --> 00:35:52,320
here on this. This is the last thing.

742
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 3: Number five.

743
00:35:53,639 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 2: When you got here, b Yu was independent. They weren't

744
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,840
in a conference out of p four even though they

745
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,719
knocked off a bunch of P four Tis teams still

746
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,519
call you, guys to pack twelve South champions or co

747
00:36:03,639 --> 00:36:05,400
champions with Utah. I know that makes a lot of

748
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,320
Utah fans mad now by using the Big twelve. What

749
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,639
has it been about the last couple of seasons that

750
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,280
sparked this like incredible turnaround And do you take pride

751
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,440
in this as being a member of the senior class

752
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,000
that helped built it to what it is today?

753
00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:20,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think.

754
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 6: I mean always talk about you know, avoiding pride all that,

755
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,679
but I think it's a good pride when you talk

756
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,079
about the senior class kind of feeling feeling a little

757
00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:30,679
bit pride in what we've been able to build. And

758
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,280
I think it goes to back to Colonia and the

759
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,559
culture that he's been, you know, trying to build this

760
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,800
time here and the more and more biden that you have,

761
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,400
in my experience for each each year, the more buying

762
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,400
that you have is the more successful the team ends

763
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:51,199
up being. So goes back to the players and then

764
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,280
obviously leadership kind of helping the new guys because obviously

765
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,440
we talked about the transfer portal and there's also freshman

766
00:36:58,519 --> 00:37:01,360
coming in and you know, helping people understand what the

767
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,360
culture is and help how we live it and what

768
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,800
we do. Byu is a different place and we take

769
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:10,000
pride in that we and so helping everyone kind of

770
00:37:10,039 --> 00:37:13,199
get on board and follow Killanne and what he set

771
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,039
set up for us, I think is what has led

772
00:37:16,079 --> 00:37:18,119
to a lot of success last couple of years and

773
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,360
what will lead to the success moving forward.

774
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

775
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:24,639
Speaker 6: I think there's a dynasty building at b Yu and

776
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,119
happy to be part of the beginning of that.

777
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: Agree or disagree with Talon Alfred dynasty building at Byu.

778
00:37:32,039 --> 00:37:34,719
Should have put that out there on the socials, don't think.

779
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,679
I don't think we did, but we need to dynasty

780
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:42,519
building at Byu. That would be something. Could Kalani build

781
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:43,400
a dynasty at Bu?

782
00:37:43,519 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 3: Or is he not? Even? Could he?

783
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: He's proven that by getting good level talent. I mean

784
00:37:48,119 --> 00:37:49,880
he's got what the most wins. I mean they're twenty

785
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,199
one to three now, but they said they don't win.

786
00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:54,360
They should he get lucky. So the dynasty is being built.

787
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,119
How far would this dynasty continue to be built? And

788
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,000
there's a couple of things that talent said, you know,

789
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:02,920
more by and more successful you are. Again I'm gonna

790
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,400
repeat that. The more buy in you have the more

791
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,800
successful you are. Well, this team's bought in. I think

792
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,360
he'd been bought in, says the Big Twelve. I just

793
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,639
think it was a lot of when you had a

794
00:38:12,679 --> 00:38:15,480
handful of your roster that were transfers. But you saw

795
00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:17,719
it that second year, and man, this just makes you think,

796
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,039
what would this team look like with Kelan Maryon? What

797
00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:22,239
would this team look like if Darius last are I

798
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,039
got his waiver or even kayleb Etn what would it

799
00:38:25,079 --> 00:38:25,400
look like?

800
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:26,599
Speaker 3: Man?

801
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: I know Jacob Robinson was out of eligibility, but you

802
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,519
know if you would have came back, jayha would have

803
00:38:31,519 --> 00:38:33,400
loved to have him, and then Evan and you know

804
00:38:33,559 --> 00:38:35,320
SCHMEV and Jacob Robinson.

805
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 3: Oh good, Jay rob I mean for crying a loud.

806
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:38,639
I can't.

807
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 2: It's like the Spider Man meme when you're putting on

808
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,719
the glasses, you can't really see the person that Evan

809
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,360
Johnson is that Jacob Robinson. I can't tell which one

810
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,480
it is. It's one of you two because both of

811
00:38:48,519 --> 00:38:52,000
you are wearing number zero. That's what it is. So Trey,

812
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:53,920
let me tell you, say, I put a target on

813
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,400
your back of number one. He told me that in

814
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,480
an interview early, when I interview during fall camp or

815
00:38:59,519 --> 00:39:01,880
during the seas. Let's switch that trade in the offseason again.

816
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,519
I know it's gonna be the thirty year you'll switch

817
00:39:03,559 --> 00:39:05,960
your number from twenty four to one. But whoever seems

818
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,360
to wear number zero seems to be a baller. So

819
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,159
do that and go work out with Rob Daniel and

820
00:39:10,159 --> 00:39:12,000
then it's all gonna be said and done. So we'll

821
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,880
see who has number zero next year. But actually it

822
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,840
takes it back in two years. Trade maybe your senior

823
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,199
because Evan Johnson I believe he's coming back as a

824
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,199
red shirt junior. I believe Evan's got one more season

825
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,880
that will help him. But anyway, getting back to the

826
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,119
point in hand, talent has been a big part of

827
00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:30,840
the success bought in Kalane. The culture, what they've established,

828
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,159
and again it's a good pride of what they do.

829
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:34,840
I know they talk about not having pride. It says

830
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,159
in the scriptures, don't be prideful. But this is something

831
00:39:37,159 --> 00:39:39,079
you can hang your hat on that he was a

832
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:42,159
part of this team when they struggled. You know the

833
00:39:42,199 --> 00:39:44,880
team that lost in that Liberty game, right lost on

834
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,719
the road. They were up fourteen three, it looks like

835
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,079
they're about to run him and they didn't happen, and

836
00:39:49,119 --> 00:39:52,239
then you have the obviously the season the first year

837
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:53,960
in the Big twelve didn't go as planned, and then

838
00:39:54,159 --> 00:39:56,079
the last two years double dish win seasons. He's a

839
00:39:56,079 --> 00:39:57,760
part of that and he's gonna be a part of

840
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,400
the team that well when I believe they'll beat UCF

841
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,800
and go to the title game, depending what happens, he'll

842
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,480
be on that team that potentially has an opportunity to

843
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,199
go to college football playoffs, and if they do, you

844
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,519
can't take those moments away. And all of that because

845
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,280
his relationships to BAU because he stated didn't transfer, he

846
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,159
didn't going to the portal.

847
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 4: It's crazy.

848
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes the grass isn't greener. Sometimes the grass isn't greener.

849
00:40:19,519 --> 00:40:22,280
