1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: I had to celebrate the biggest team sport known to man,

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:06,679
where modern day gladiators collide for all about glory on

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:07,320
the Gridi.

4
00:00:07,639 --> 00:00:11,599
Speaker 2: Let's talk some college football on Cougar Sports with Ben Crittle.

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,320
of the biggest news of the day as we get

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:41,840
into college football discussion. Right the college football world is

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,159
in a bit of a precarious situation. Earlier today, college

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:53,320
Football Playoff Management Committee had formally approved the return of

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,159
Utah athletic Director Mark Harlan to its selection committee and

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,159
named current committee member and Arkansas athletic director Hunter Eurocheck

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,400
it's new chair, the CFP announced earlier today.

19
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: The move comes.

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 3: Hours after Baylor's athletic director and Selection committee chair Mac

21
00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:13,840
Rhodes took a leave of absence from his job for

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,959
personal reasons amid a university investigation. Baylor stated this, we

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,879
are deeply appreciative or sorry. The CFP committee, I believe

24
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,760
stated this, We are deeply appreciative of Mac rhodes leadership

25
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:28,560
in the service as chair of the College Football Playoff

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,920
Selection Committee the season. CFP Executive Director Rich Clark said

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,719
in the news release, Mac has informed of of his

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,799
decision to step down for personal reasons, and our thoughts

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,159
are with him and his family during this time where

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,640
police announce that Hunter your check will assume the role

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,560
of Selection Committee chair effective immediately. Hunter's experience, integrity, and

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,480
committed to the game make him exceptionally well suited to

33
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:54,719
lead the committee as it continues its important work throughout

34
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:58,959
the remainder of the season. And then Harlan Mark Harland,

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,480
the University of athletic director, previously served one year term

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,799
during the twenty twenty three season for the College Football

37
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,800
Playoff Committee. The CFP typically requires athletic directors on the

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,280
selection committee to be active sitting athletic directors. Because Rhodes

39
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:16,319
was the Big Twelve nomination, he was replaced by a

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,120
Big Twelve athletic director. The ten FBS commissioners and Notre

41
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:27,400
Dame Athletic Director Pete Beverquah unanimously agreed to the changes,

42
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,800
and I believe Brett yor Mark he put this out

43
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,520
as an official statement from the Big Twelve. Mark Harlin

44
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,560
is an excellent choice to serve as the Big Twelve

45
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,960
conference representative on the College Football Playoff Selection Committee. Mark's

46
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,759
previous experience on the committee will serve the interests of

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,840
all college football alongside the other committee members.

48
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: Let's welcome into the show sponsor the segment.

49
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: It's brought to you by Odon Men's where odeon menswear

Speaker 1: We got bread Day on the line. Brandon, how that Heck?

52
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,479
Are you good?

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,479
Speaker 2: Awthor is doing?

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic.

55
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: Your reaction to the news that Mark Harlin is a

56
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:06,639
part of the CFP committee as a BYU fan is

57
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,639
a as a sponsor of our Cougar Sports show as

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,599
a Cougar Sports insider, what do you got for me? I?

59
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:15,599
Speaker 2: I first I was like, oh, really, like, we gotta

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,360
get a Utah guy in there. But then I started

61
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,039
thinking about a little more. Obviously, there's all the jokes

62
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:23,639
to be said about how you know. I was excited

63
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,080
to be in the Big twelve, but today I'm not

64
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,719
the type of situation. But I think the good thing

65
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,599
is if he's got to if you want to elevate

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,120
Utah all, and I know there's not supposed to be

67
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:36,599
complict of interest level SIP things. He also has to

68
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:39,000
elevate BAU, So I don't think that there's any way

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,479
to make it a bad thing for us, And I

70
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:45,159
think having the representation from the Big twelve obviously is important.

71
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:48,199
So I don't know. I think it's probably a nothing

72
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:53,120
burger overall, truthfully, but it's probably gonna get obviously hype

73
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:54,800
up and down from UAU fans.

74
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,199
Speaker 3: So BUA fans don't like it one bit. Break Day,

75
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:05,400
I don't like it. No Magusta, they say, no me Gusta.

76
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I understand why. Like again, my first reaction

77
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,680
was like, oh, well, of all the athletic directors in

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
the Big twelve conference, that's the one that hates the

79
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:14,520
Big twelve the most. So that's great for us. But

80
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,240
I really think overall it's not going to be a

81
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,639
super negative thing because if he does want to, you know,

82
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,279
promote the conference at all, he's got to promote us,

83
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:24,000
and he's going to promote us because we of the

84
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,839
situation we're in above Utah. So I thin't it'll end.

85
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:28,519
Speaker 1: Up in despite Yeah.

86
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: So apparently just everybody knows mac Rhodes is under investigation

87
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,560
and he took a leave of absence due to this investigation.

88
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:40,879
It was a violation of the faith based university's policy,

89
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:45,720
so essentially the Baylor honor Code and practices. Baylor is

90
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,839
obviously declining comment as this involves a personal matter and

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,639
an ongoing investigation. So that's why Mark Harlan is now

92
00:04:56,759 --> 00:04:59,600
the part of the committee chair. So it's not just

93
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,800
by you who have who have been impacted by honor

94
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,920
code violations. We have Baylor also that has been impacted

95
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,240
by honor code violations. Ours are just typically our student

96
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,000
athletes rather than the staff. I don't know which is

97
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,680
which one I'd rather have, though, I mean, I don't

98
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,839
know quite honestly.

99
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: They probably would look much worse than the church in general.

100
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 3: If there'd be a lot of people, there'd be a

101
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,720
lot of people that would be like.

102
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: See, I told you, I told you they don't live

103
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,720
up to their standards. I told you they're evil, wicked, vile, perverse,

104
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,560
horrible people. They can't live.

105
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: Up to it, you know, you know, you know it's funny,

106
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:46,160
like you know, you throw the stone and then you

107
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:48,959
look up and you put a mirror up, and you're like, wait,

108
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,839
didn't you have a coach that said some improper terminology

109
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:59,000
in front of a recruit. Didn't you have a coach

110
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,040
whose wife was indicted on like white collar crime.

111
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: Didn't you have like I can go down the listen.

112
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,959
Speaker 4: I'm like, if that was BYU, if that was happening

113
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:16,600
at BYU, oh my, we would have ourselves so much hate,

114
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,399
so much Mitchell Solly Tribune would be having a heyday, right,

115
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:26,000
I mean Utah fans, anti Mormons, anti Byuers, they'd be

116
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:26,720
pilot on.

117
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: See. I told you so.

118
00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: They're horrible, horrible people. But we're over like it's all right, hey,

119
00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:34,560
you know you tell them it's great. Forgiveness is great.

120
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:36,920
You know, no one gets canceled, nobody gets canceled. Let's

121
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:37,720
all just come together.

122
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,959
Speaker 1: Kumbay ah, my lord, kumbe bay Brandon.

123
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: You're the owner or excuse me, the CEO of Odeon

Black Friday sale we're going on just in an Oren store.

128
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:56,240
We're doing that right now. We're just trying to clear

129
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,120

Speaker 3: Deal wise, love the deals, love what you do and

142
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:32,199

143
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,439
fan to what happened at Texas Tech and what makes

144
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,680
you believe deal He's gonna win out for the rest

145
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,639
of the season it gets to the Big twelve championship game.

146
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the reaction was sad, I I was okay,

147
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,040
I gotta went into the game always, we always talked

148
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,680
about this on the show with me is. I'm a

149
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,959
blue goggled guy, and so I knew I believe that

150
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,800
we could win or we were going to win. But

151
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,279
I also, you know, I knew the back of my head,

152
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,839
like and I just can't do to win this. But

153
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:55,639
that's okay, Like we're in a good spot. We put

154
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,120
ourselves in a great spot to be able to overcome that.

155
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,439
But the the way we lost is obviously a lot

156
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:05,279
harder to swallow. But I do think you look back

157
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:06,920
at there was some there was just a few plays

158
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:08,600
there that could have really changed the game. I don't

159
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:10,079
know that we win the game with them, but it

160
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,160
doesn't look as ugly as it did, just you know,

161
00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:15,000
executing in a couple of places, both offense, defense, end

162
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,720
special teams. Obviously, I think the defense performed by far

163
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:20,720
the best. But I think it's gonna be a good

164
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:22,600
wake up call hopefully and the guys wake up from it.

165
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:26,040
And I think the chances of us meet matching back

166
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,000
up with them in the covert championship game, we're pretty high.

167
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,159
Whether we you know, whether we won that game or

168
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:33,840
lost that game, and so I think winning it the

169
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,279
or losing it the first time probably gives us a

170
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:39,039
better advantage of winning it the second time than vice versa.

171
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,200
So but I think either way we went out, we're

172
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,120
in a spot where I would imagine we get a

173
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,720
bid to the playoffs even if we lose in the

174
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,600
Comfort Championship game, unless we get absolutely throttled again in

175
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:53,159
the Comfort Championship game. So I feel pretty confident.

176
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,879
Speaker 1: I love it always breaking the optimist.

177
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: Uh, and then that's why I love talking to you,

178
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,440
braidon the Blue Goggle banter. The positivity keeps me on

179
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,720
the right track, and uh, you know keeps the the

180
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,879
the doubter or in me at bay. So, Braden, what

181
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:14,039
what from a personnel standpoint? From a schematic standpoint maybe

182
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:18,799
makes you optimistic? B YU is gonna beat TCU at home,

183
00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:23,639
beat Cincinnati on the road, and win versus UCF at

184
00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:24,200
home again.

185
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:28,039
Speaker 2: I think defensively, I'm I'm really, I'm Obviously, the last

186
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:30,480
time we played josh Ueber he made us look real bad.

187
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,200
But I think we're such a different team than we

188
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,279
were defensively back when we played, so I think the

189
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:36,080
defense will be able to hold them in check. And

190
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,279
then I think offensively, I'm pretty sure from some of

191
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:42,639
the stuff I've seen, they're they're really good rush defense,

192
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,960
which you know is a little nerve wrecking for us,

193
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,320
But I think if we can, if we can, like

194
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:51,159
max protext will really kill this against Tech and only

195
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,559
having three route concepts going, and I think we're not

196
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,639
gonna need that here, and I think there's gonna throw

197
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:57,600
the ball around and then hopefully we'll be able to

198
00:09:57,639 --> 00:09:59,759
off of that have some quarterback run game and then

199
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,720
hopefully we can you know, get on the edges with

200
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:03,960
guys like I mean, if LJ is healthy, But he

201
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,360
looks healthy that first run of the game against Tech,

202
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,000
but then he looked like he got didn't feel very

203
00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:12,080
great after that, so I'm a little worried about the

204
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,679
run game. I think with this defense will probably able

205
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,360
to run up better than we were against Texas Tech,

206
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,240
even without you know, LGB one. But I think offense,

207
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,080
we will be able to move the ball, especially for

208
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:23,399
the air.

209
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:28,519
Speaker 3: Love that very optimistic about what BYU can hopefully do

210
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,960
on the ground. Hopefully Lj's healthier, I know Bear will

211
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,879
be able to run the ball more effectively I think

212
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:36,200
at home than versus a top five defense.

213
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: Uh and uh that.

214
00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 3: And and and being in on a way setting so

215
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:41,720
intrigued by that. I don't know if you heard the

216
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,399
news some of the red shirts that are coming down

217
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,159
the pipeline. Uh so they won't be available until the

218
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:49,039
big TWEL championship game or a bowl game or bowl games.

219
00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:53,799
It's Justin Kirkland e from Asiata. You know, two big

220
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:57,039
defensive players, right. Tommy Prash is also red shirt in

221
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,039
this year from uh you know, has been injured I

222
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:01,840
think with his hand.

223
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: Justin Kirkland not divulged.

224
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: And then Justin Tommy's is the lower extremity Your reaction

225
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,120
to some of the red shirts that the defense is

226
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:12,879
fielding right now?

227
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:16,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I had heard some rumors that Justin was

228
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,519
thinking about red shirting it and going that route, and

229
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,960
I think that's probably smart. It'll be good to have

230
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,080
him next year fully helping get a full year out him,

231
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:27,399
rather than getting kind of the half healthy version of

232
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,679
when we got I was actually really surprised that Ephraim

233
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:33,919
was never on the availability report that I remember. So

234
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,919
the fact that like it was because of an injury,

235
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,159
that's where they're going about it. It's kind of surprising

236
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:39,600
to me, just because I would have expected him to

237
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,120
be on the availability apart, but maybe he was hurt

238
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:44,240
just enough that he couldn't. It was him full sell

239
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,399
his full self, so they didn't play him. I always

240
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:48,720
wonder what was going on with him specifically, and.

241
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: Then I knew.

242
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,519
Speaker 2: I figured that would happen with Tommy because of you know,

243
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,559
how long he's been out and what he means to

244
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,840
the program. So I think, I honestly think all three

245
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,360
of them is a good thing. And then hopefully that

246
00:11:57,519 --> 00:11:59,840
all at a spot where they're healthy enough that come

247
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,039
championship time, bowl game, playoffs, sign whatever, we get to

248
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,639
be able to utilize them. That's one of the things

249
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,080
I love about the way that they run redshirts.

250
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,799
Speaker 3: Now, yes, indeed a Britain day CEO of Odeon Men's

251
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:16,600
Odeon Menswear dot Com is As far as what's going

252
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:20,960
on with BYU basketball recruiting, we got a couple of

253
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,440
official signees. L oys have been signed, Will Openshaw, he's

254
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,399
a BYU cougar. Abdullah Ahmed out of the G League.

255
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:33,919
He's coming to break on baby. We got the number

256
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,320
one junior college player in the country coming to BYU.

257
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:45,000
Your reaction, who's your favorite acquisition from the recruiting ranks

258
00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:45,720
for BYU.

259
00:12:47,039 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: It's football season. I don't care about basketball.

260
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.

261
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,799
Speaker 2: No, I would say I'm not definitely not as on

262
00:12:55,879 --> 00:12:57,519
top of it right now that I have been and

263
00:12:57,639 --> 00:13:00,159
other times of the year, just because football is consuming my,

264
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:03,240
my ever, my every living thoughts. But I would say

265
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:05,120
I can't remember how he says his name exactly, but

266
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,919
the G League player is probably the one that I

267
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:13,559
think could have the biggest initial responsibility. I think next year,

268
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,759
without without Kiva, I think we're gonna need that big man.

269
00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:20,600
So I think it's really good with that and knowing

270
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:23,759
that Damian Satton like hopefully he can develop fully. But

271
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,679
I think having two guys in that spot will be

272
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:26,600
really good for next year.

273
00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: So Dean Rukert also signed UH, the UH kind of

274
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,759
the combo guard out of tim Fu tim Fu Abdullah Ahmed,

275
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:37,080
and then kJ Perry, the number one JUCO player in

276
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,840
the country signs with the Cougars. The big Man will

277
00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:42,519
open Shaw as well. So UH can't wait to see

278
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,159
what happens with Bou basketball if, obviously is your one

279
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,600
last thing before we let you go. Braton deals that

Speaker 1: There you go. I do want to talk a little

310
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:05,159
hoop with you ap for a moment.

311
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: Ronald the three man weaver, out of the four acquisitions

312
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,399
signees yesterday, who's your favorite and why he's with? The

313
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,759
big man will open shout with really high upside, great wingspan.

314
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: Great athleticism. Uh, he could play the four, he could

315
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,639
play the five. He's got to have a stretch four.

316
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,879
Speaker 3: But like him a lattin ruker combo guard that can

317
00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:27,840
play shoot. He may be a play the two through

318
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,360
the four by the time he's he's actually playing for

319
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,000
the Coups if he goes to if he's going to

320
00:15:32,039 --> 00:15:32,759
be serving a mission.

321
00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: Abdullah Achmed g League, that's nice, you know what I mean?

322
00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: A seven footer coming to to Brigham or kJ Perry,

323
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:43,360
number one juco player in the country, he's a point

324
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,480
guard with tremendous athleticism. Who's your favorite and why?

325
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: For me?

326
00:15:49,799 --> 00:15:55,039
Speaker 5: My I think the best is probably kJ Perry because

327
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:58,159
that's a that's a big position of need for b YU.

328
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: Uh.

329
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,279
Speaker 5: I feel like going forward, my favorite is probably Dean

330
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,879
Rookert just because I've had I've had a chance to

331
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:11,279
call a few of his games, and he, like you said,

332
00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:15,320
he's a very versatile player. He can he plays the

333
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,919
two through the four, tf you just because high school

334
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:21,080
basketball oftentimes you don't have a lot of tall guys.

335
00:16:21,399 --> 00:16:24,000
He's one of the tallest on their team. He's been

336
00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:26,840
asked to play almost every position at one point in

337
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:30,120
time or another, and he's done it really well. Like

338
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:32,679
he can shoot the three, he can go inside, he

339
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:36,080
can throw it down, he can do almost everything that

340
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,519
you ask him to, at least at the high school level.

341
00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:41,159
I think it'll be a year or two of development,

342
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,960
but I think he's gonna be a really good player

343
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,519
for b YU.

344
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say my favorite, you know, I'm kind

345
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,960
of with you, Like Dean Rukers, a local kid. The

346
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,799
best interview that we've had thus far, and all of

347
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,360
them have been ready. Every we've interview kJ Dean and Will.

348
00:16:55,679 --> 00:16:58,720
I think I like Will the Basket, like Humble Hungry,

349
00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:02,320
just to like, as far as likability is concerned, just

350
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,600
a very very likable guy.

351
00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: Bill has also overlooked.

352
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,279
Speaker 5: He's he's a very overlooked player, sure, and I think

353
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:09,880
he's better than people realize.

354
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,559
Speaker 3: Immediate impact, obviously, it's gonna be a du Lahmed and

355
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,720
uh in kJ Perry, right though, you have a Jucal

356
00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:19,119
guy and a G League guy and they're coming in

357
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,680
and they got to compete. They gotta make an impact,

358
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,920
they gotta they gotta win immediately in the twenty twenty

359
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,160
six twenty twenty seven seasons. So from that perspective, I

360
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:35,119
would probably lean kJ Perry and uh and or Abdullah.

361
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,039
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go.

362
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,759
Speaker 3: Actually, kJ Perry, I really really really enjoyed the conversation

363
00:17:39,839 --> 00:17:44,680
with kJ. I loved his film, Uh Super Athletic and

364
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,160
he's an Arizona boy. Shout out to my easy boys

365
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,000
Valley the Sun Baby. U. kJ is very very good,

366
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,640
very nice and uh he he's also got a lot

367
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,400
of grit to him, a lot of I would say,

368
00:17:55,519 --> 00:17:58,160
just competitive fire to him having to go through the

369
00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,000
JUCO ranks.

370
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,839
Speaker 1: Juke My Juco guys, they know what it's like.

371
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,039
Speaker 3: It ain't easy coming out of the Juco ranks. Dogg

372
00:18:05,079 --> 00:18:07,400
eat dog world, as they say, you gotta become a dog.

373
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,279
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

374
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,319
Speaker 3: That's how you get the dog tags. You get to

375
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,480
merit the dog dad. You gotta become a dog. All

376
00:18:13,519 --> 00:18:16,160
these people out there wearing dog tags but ain't dogs.

377
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,279
They never earned that dog tag. You know, kJ, He's

378
00:18:20,319 --> 00:18:22,559
a dog, no doubt about it. Ronalie three man Weaver.

379
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:24,279
What do you got from? Who's your favorite and why?

380
00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:29,160
The best acquisition from that signing class this signing period.

381
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 6: Look, i mean Ben Walter Clayton junior, what position did

382
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,240
he play?

383
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,279
Speaker 1: Guard? Point guard? He's cobo guard, but guard.

384
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:40,079
Speaker 6: Right right guard, scoring guard. Kay, he got drafted right

385
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:40,640
you judge?

386
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: Okay?

387
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,519
Speaker 6: So well yeah, then it's kJ Perry like, Look, you

388
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:46,559
want to win national championships, you want to get to

389
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:49,960
that point, you need good guard play. You haven't had that. Look,

390
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,839
b YU has struggled in the past of getting good

391
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,039
point guards, losing out with Kevin Young. That's not gonna

392
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:58,000
happen anymore. I mean, and I'm just gonna say this,

393
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,920
Number one recruit in high school number one euro now

394
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,880
number one's you go. Brennan Dunson is a big part

395
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,839
of this. So as long as Brennan Dunson justin young

396
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,640
and you know you got John Lenehan on this staff.

397
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,880
To me, that's why I'm going with kJ Perry. Look,

398
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,880
I mean, this kid betted on himself.

399
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Ben.

400
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:17,039
Speaker 6: By the way, if you missed the interview, fantastic here,

401
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:19,359
you need to go download on the podcast. And we

402
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,200
had thirty minutes with him and it just went on

403
00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:23,039
because of just his energy is great.

404
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: He's a leader.

405
00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 6: When he speaks, he speaks like he's the future face,

406
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:28,599
the future guard of BYU's program.

407
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:28,759
Speaker 1: Ben.

408
00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 6: Like, if you lose Rob right next year, okay, that

409
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,319
guess what you stick kJ right in there?

410
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: No problem?

411
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 6: Like if kJ would have went to college, he'd have

412
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,039
had an opportunity excuse me, not college. If he'd just

413
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:42,319
started off at a P four program, maybe he wouldn't

414
00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:44,039
have played right away, but he would have worked this way.

415
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:46,720
But look, offers from Kansas. You beat out Kansas, been,

416
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:50,000
you beat out Organ, you beat out TCU. Like that

417
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
that has to mean something that has to matter. So

418
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,319
I mean this kid is he's a dynamic score.

419
00:19:54,519 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: His bounce is ridiculous.

420
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 6: Like John Morant ask, I mean, look, you've been waiting

421
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,279
on to get recruiting talent like this, players like this

422
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,279
for a while. So I'm gonna go with the kid

423
00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:04,640
that if you put the ball in his hands and

424
00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:06,400
change the game to take over a game. You saw it,

425
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,880
Rob Wright did Granny It was delaware. But that's what

426
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,119
that type of high level talent's able to do. You

427
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,559
haven't seen that yet in a while at BYU. So

428
00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:16,119
give me kJ Perry, not just as a favorite, but

429
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,759
I think it is the best prospect I think that

430
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:19,880
could come out of this out of all of the

431
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,279
other prospects that they have that they signed yesterday.

432
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,279
Speaker 3: Love that and I think I don't think there's any

433
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:30,480
wrong answer here. But love the comments, Love the the

434
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:33,359

00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:50,599
Speaker 3: It is fantastic John Beck who's hopped on and talked about, Hey,

442
00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:52,839
when I get home on Sunday, typically I want to

443
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,799
change out of my church clothes.

444
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: I hop out of the car and I start.

445
00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: Throwing the football immediately, and he grabs the chips and

446
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,799
saw the chips and guac sits back down on the

447
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:04,039
couch to watch them football.

448
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: And he's not changing out of his.

449
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: Suit, which can be dangerous, especially when you get into

450
00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:10,680
the chips and salsa. But it's so comfortable you don't

451
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,400
want to necessarily change out of it. That's what makes

452
