<v Speaker 2>I kind of have a guestwan.

9
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 4>How are you doing it? Doing it another Wednesday? Halfway

10

<v Speaker 4>through the week, halfway to Friday.

<v Speaker 2>So you like kid? You like kid?

12
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:32.719
<v Speaker 5>Yes, it feels good.

13
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:34.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you'll screw it up. I could. I

14
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 2>try not to. Hey, you know when you could be

15
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>fifty percent right on a pick? Sure you do. I

16
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>was truth, truth or you know whatever that phrases. I

17
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>had the score right, I didn't have the winner right.

18
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>H Someone pointed out today to me today eighty five

19
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>sent me force my thought. I think, I said, but

20
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I had a b Are you winning?

21
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 3>So?

22
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Could you watch the game? I did? Did you think that?

23
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>And I know everyone's asked Steve Hayes the team.

24
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 6>Did?

25
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Did BYU misshots in the second half or did Arizona

26
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>defend them? Well a little bit of both.

27
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 4>To start that second half, Byu started missing shots, right,

28
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 4>But then it got to a point where Arizona wasn't

29
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 4>allowing them to get good shots by you started to

30
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 4>force because of the pressure that was applied.

31
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 2>But that was more in the second late second half,

32
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 2>the second.

33
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 4>Half, and at that point there was nine point lead

34
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 4>and I think they had taken the lead for a

35
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 4>brief second. Kill Love hits a three, yeah, and the

36
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 4>rest is history.

37
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Right. So I didn't write about last night story. I

38
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>was too tired. I had meetings in the morning with

39
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 2>my other job. But I would have said this. I

40
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>think this was the most impressive game of the win

41
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 2>of the year by Arizona, given it was on the road,

42
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>tough spot, they were underdogs. I played pretty well, pretty

43
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>well all things considered. Uh, the Iowa State game was

44
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.920
<v Speaker 2>pretty good, but that was a sample. Yeah, you know,

45
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>a lucky shot wins it wins it for them or

46
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, gets them in overtime. But I think this

47
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>was probably the most impressive win of the year.

48
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 4>I think, yeah, I would say so, especially because b

49
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 4>yu that they're gonna hit threes and then's what you

50
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 4>did that first half. And when when you play a

51
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 4>team like that, that's that's a scary team to face

52
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 4>in March at that I think b YU will end

53
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 4>up setting a top team.

54
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 2>They don't play again, right, they don't play again?

55
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 5>That don't they do?

56
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 7>They do?

57
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. I don't think. We'll see what I

58
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>do the later.

59
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 5>Two Saturdays, three saturdays from now.

60
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, six or eight, that's what it says right out

61
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 4>of what March no. February February twenty second, oh two

62
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 4>a second? Okay, cool, So we'll see what happens.

63
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 2>They were a good shooting team day or you know

64
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>whatever last night, but every want to play well from

65
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 2>all all facets. Caleb Love had a pretty good game.

66
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Henry continues to do what he's doing. Jaleb Jayden Bradley

67
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>again a nice, consistent, good, good everything.

68
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 4>He started off a bit slow too, and then he

69
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 4>found his way to the line and he ends up

70
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 4>with the quiet seventeen.

71
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 2>And they got to the basket a lot, you know,

72
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>instead of the threes, they got to the basket a lot.

73
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Hit three throws again. Uh this maybe I can't remember

74
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 2>the last time Amrazone was so good on the free throwing.

75
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>They were like they only missed like three or four

76
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>in the last two games.

77
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 4>It's been a while, and even you don't want to

78
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 4>jinx it because to start this season, they were horrendous

79
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.439
<v Speaker 4>at the line in my opinion.

80
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Well because what was going on, uh was grievous. Grievous

81
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>can shoot free throws? Well I didn't, I didn't realize

82
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 2>they were horrendous.

83
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 4>But when you when you look at the score and

84
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 4>you see the difference, and you're like, well, if we

85
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 4>probably hit, if they probably hit a couple of more

86
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 4>free throws, it's a closer game.

87
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 5>Maybe they would they use momentum.

88
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't exist.

89
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.039
<v Speaker 4>No, But what going back to BYU, that's that's a

90
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 4>dangerous team. You can lose a lot of confidence quick

91
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 4>when they're hitting all those trees in the rackoeus great crowd,

92
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 4>great crowd for a Tuesday night nine o'clock game.

93
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>That's overstated because we don't know the lifestyle up there.

94
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>We know there are more morments whatever, we don't I

95
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know. It's like, what do you know about Texas basketball?

96
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Not a lot exactly, We don't know, just because you know,

97
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 2>we know that they're good or whatever, and that's all

98
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 2>we know. B Yu. I've been to Provo a few times,

99
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 2>it's always pretty good up there. What else is you

100
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 2>gonna do right late at night in Provo and Tucson too.

101
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the reasons why Arizona is the best

102
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 2>team because it's all they have. Yeah, especially especially when

103
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>they're good.

104
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 4>And I think one of the differences with this team

105
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 4>right now is their mindset because yes, because uh, the

106
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 4>game like last night. Uh, if you put at an

107
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 4>early time elod team or even a sham Miller team

108
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.040
<v Speaker 4>into that game, it was confident. It's quick. They probably

109
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 4>get blown out that night and they lose. But they said,

110
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 4>so what, they're hitting threes, Let's just do our thing.

111
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 4>Let's get to the line, let's let's get some easy baskets.

112
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>And they did, they did, they did. Yeah, when they

113
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 2>tied the halftime, that was a good indication. They blew

114
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 2>like past the over under pretty easy when sixty whatever,

115
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 2>one fifty something. Uh so yeah, no, they're they're doing

116
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:28.040
<v Speaker 2>really well. And again Tommy Lloyd is being hailed as

117
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 2>this guru, which.

118
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 5>He was supposed to be fired about a month ago,

119
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 5>right by.

120
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 2>People who on the internet, the Twitter Twitter experts, yep, exactly. Yeah,

121
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 2>So like I see people, know, what do you mean

122
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>by that. I don't know to follow that Twitter. Damn

123
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Twitter thing. Twitter is a joke doesn't exist anymore, not Twitter.

124
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 2>It was more U uh yeah, because they want to

125
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>know TikTok. They want to TikTok. That's a whole different story. Yeah, okay, so,

126
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 2>uh there's that if you want to call in five

127
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.199
<v Speaker 2>to zero, four one, six, seventy four, forty. Today's big

128
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 2>day was signing day at U of A or all

129
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.879
<v Speaker 2>over the country with college football. We talked to Troy

130
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Heidssen with Goisycats dot com about that they had a

131
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.199
<v Speaker 2>press convers at one. I did that out of tend

132
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>because I was here, So we'll get the scoop. I

133
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 2>think we'll play a little of Brennan about that regarding

134
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>you don't know what he said, right, I have it

135
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 2>on queue, so we'll probably listen to that at the

136
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 2>second half of the hour.

137
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 4>But I didn't realize is that Arizona brought in fifty

138
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 4>three new players.

139
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Overall overall, overall transfers that they sit on their website,

140
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 2>including the signings.

141
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Uh yeah, I said, fifty three players to the program

142
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 4>during the twenty five recruiting cycle.

143
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize the way of the world is now,

144
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.000
<v Speaker 2>because I think they had the same about last year.

145
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.240
<v Speaker 2>So you almost have your half, your entire roster is

146
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.160
<v Speaker 2>new placed. Yeah, way the world, way in the world.

147
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure. I was asking do you like it? Do

148
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 2>you not care?

149
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't really care. I think I think at this

150
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.240
<v Speaker 4>point we just got to get used to it. It's

151
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 4>not going everybody. Everybody is dealing with it. Yeah, right,

152
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 4>that's how you across. I mean, how many players from

153
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:06.560
<v Speaker 4>last year's basketball team were on.

154
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.360
<v Speaker 5>This We're on the roster last year.

155
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Jayden Caleb we sure didn't play uh kJ history.

156
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 4>You have the bench, yeah, Martinez.

157
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.839
<v Speaker 2>About four or five four maybe, Yeah, So you know

158
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:32.319
<v Speaker 2>it's it's it's not a crapshoot, but it's a revolving

159
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 2>door type of situation. It's just how good you're gonna

160
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>coach them up. So we'll see what happens. Keept about

161
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 2>two months left before the tournament starts. Two months, No,

162
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>about two and a half. Two and a half, yeah,

163
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 2>because that's gonna happen in Kansas City. And then the

164
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.839
<v Speaker 2>first round of the tournament. Are you gonna go to that? No? No,

165
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 2>because the Big twelve they go this is the situation.

166
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.720
<v Speaker 2>They play at Iowa State, then they come home to

167
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>play Issue, and then they go to Kansas, and then

168
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.759
<v Speaker 2>from Kansas they go to the tournament right to the

169
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 2>total tournament. There's just too much moving parts there. If

170
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.199
<v Speaker 2>they if I go to Kansas to the Kansas game,

171
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm staying in Kansas City to go to that and

172
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.000
<v Speaker 2>that could be a one game, two game thing. Uh,

173
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and then you have to turn around and go back

174
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>to the stably tournament. So we got to call, Hello,

175
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 2>you're on the air nine of the ball. Who's this? Hi, Steve?

176
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.759
<v Speaker 2>This is done? Don What do you got Hey? Man?

177
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.600
<v Speaker 8>I I just got off the phone with somebody else,

178
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 8>and now I was telling me, I go, you know,

179
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 8>I think I gotta admit that that this team is

180
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 8>is pretty good, you.

181
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Know what done. I'm not gonna go as far as

182
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 2>pretty good, but I'll say good because I didn't think

183
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.559
<v Speaker 2>that before. I didn't. I certainly didn't.

184
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:54.360
<v Speaker 8>And like last night, even though you know they had

185
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.559
<v Speaker 8>some they had some DEAFA sets or whatnot, but you know,

186
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 8>it wasn't that long ago where they get a deficit

187
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.720
<v Speaker 8>and you could just see in the body language that

188
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.840
<v Speaker 8>this game is over. You know, and it's like fourteen

189
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:07.759
<v Speaker 8>minutes left in the game.

190
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:08.399
<v Speaker 2>What do you know?

191
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 8>But last night it just did not seem that at

192
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.960
<v Speaker 8>any time that even though even though BYU was hitting

193
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:21.159
<v Speaker 8>shots early on, it just did not seem like, you know,

194
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.559
<v Speaker 8>it didn't seem automatic that this is going to get

195
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 8>away from them.

196
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you. I was asked this question.

197
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.039
<v Speaker 2>I really didn't know how to answer this. On a

198
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.720
<v Speaker 2>THO was of a talk show with Peaks, and they

199
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 2>asked me what the difference was, and I said, I

200
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>threw a smorgage board of stuff there. What do you

201
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.799
<v Speaker 2>think the difference has been from your not so good

202
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 2>or good to being very good? I think I think

203
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 2>the body language. Maybe there's a little bit more.

204
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 8>I don't know if it's I don't know if it's

205
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:56.039
<v Speaker 8>confidence or it's more being comfortable with where they're at,

206
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.720
<v Speaker 8>Like nobody's pressing, nobody's throwing up, you know, trying to

207
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.440
<v Speaker 8>make a seven point you know, a seven point jump

208
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.440
<v Speaker 8>shot because one doesn't exist. It just seemed like it

209
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.279
<v Speaker 8>seemed like early in the season that you know, it

210
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 8>was like, man, we got to get a shot up

211
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.600
<v Speaker 8>because we need points instead of let's, you know, let's

212
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 8>run it through the offense, make the extra, make the

213
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 8>smart pass, take the smart shot.

214
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:25.960
<v Speaker 2>And last night, more often than not, we were what's that?

215
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Are you referring to one person?

216
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.440
<v Speaker 8>I think the one person really stands out that when

217
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 8>he doesn't when he doesn't have when he doesn't have

218
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 8>his shot, or if he's not in his in his

219
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.440
<v Speaker 8>rhythm he's making, he's making a smart pass unless it's

220
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.679
<v Speaker 8>getting to the end of the shot clock, whereas hey,

221
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.919
<v Speaker 8>we got to get it up anyway. Well, doesn't matter

222
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 8>who takes it.

223
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.200
<v Speaker 2>That might be your answer. I mean, how come things

224
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.759
<v Speaker 2>have changed? Maybe because Caleb has kind of settled into

225
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:59.279
<v Speaker 2>a nice role offensively and defensively. You know when did

226
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:00.919
<v Speaker 2>you think you'd say that or I would say that

227
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 2>defensively And he's he's finding his overall role. I think

228
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:07.039
<v Speaker 2>so too.

229
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 8>I think that, and it seems like it's rubbing off

230
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.360
<v Speaker 8>on other guys. I think it shows up more in

231
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 8>Caleb because he's he's more the focus. But when like

232
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.840
<v Speaker 8>when Vasar goes in, like we know what we're going

233
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 8>to get from him, he's going to be available for

234
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 8>that pass to come in and if he's got a

235
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.240
<v Speaker 8>if he's got a crack. He's going to try to

236
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.080
<v Speaker 8>jam that thing in the hole, and he's gonna he's

237
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 8>gonna make a statement that kind of more or less says, hey,

238
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 8>you're gonna have to focus down here defensively against us,

239
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:46.159
<v Speaker 8>which only opens up the jump shots for us. And

240
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:53.480
<v Speaker 8>I think that I think there's there's an overall relaxedness

241
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 8>of this of the team. Now you you know, I

242
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:56.360
<v Speaker 8>don't know.

243
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, go ahead. Do you remember off the top

244
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.120
<v Speaker 2>of your head he shot last night because he missed them,

245
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:06.440
<v Speaker 2>shocking Caleb One's looking at it up.

246
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:07.559
<v Speaker 5>He went six for.

247
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Six, six for sixteen. Okay, so here you go, six

248
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:14.759
<v Speaker 2>for sixteen, not brilliant, not great. But if he continues

249
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>to do six for sixteen, are you gonna take that?

250
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:24.399
<v Speaker 2>I have my answer. We're gonna have to. I mean

251
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:24.960
<v Speaker 2>we have to.

252
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:28.159
<v Speaker 8>I mean we've been saying that since the Iowa State game.

253
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 8>The way he goes, that's the way the team goes.

254
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:36.320
<v Speaker 8>Now you're gonna miss shots. He keeps shooting six for sixteen,

255
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 8>As Miss d would probably say, he needs to get

256
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 8>hit the road because those are those are increase of numbers, right.

257
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.639
<v Speaker 2>But but I mean.

258
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:51.039
<v Speaker 8>If he's doing other things if he's playing defense, you

259
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 8>can you can accept a couple of those misses because

260
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.960
<v Speaker 8>he's not. He's not just six for sixteen and not

261
00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:58.840
<v Speaker 8>playing defense.

262
00:12:59.279 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 2>You know he is.

263
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.600
<v Speaker 8>Long as as long as the game is more complete,

264
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 8>I think I think we're fine with it so so

265
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.080
<v Speaker 8>to because if you went six or sixteen and the

266
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 8>team lost, I know, this hypothetical whatever, I don't think

267
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 8>you'd accept that.

268
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:17.159
<v Speaker 2>It just it just depends.

269
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 8>I mean, like last night last night, there was there

270
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.039
<v Speaker 8>wasn't anybody language from anybody on the floor that that

271
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.039
<v Speaker 8>that made it look like BYU really stood a chance.

272
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, don't you think the last night was more of

273
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 2>a team win than anything else? I think it was.

274
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.080
<v Speaker 2>It was a complete win. I mean it was a

275
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:41.120
<v Speaker 2>it was a win.

276
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:44.759
<v Speaker 8>All around because a waka was balling, everybody was balling.

277
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 2>And then who was it? Who was who were we

278
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:47.919
<v Speaker 2>talking about?

279
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:51.679
<v Speaker 8>Was it was it Lewis or Bradley? That somebody was

280
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.480
<v Speaker 8>saying that every game? You know, he gets this, you know,

281
00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:58.519
<v Speaker 8>he gets a he gets a quick layup that like

282
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.519
<v Speaker 8>they're just barely little bit of light in the doorway

283
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 8>and you go straight to the hole like out of nowhere,

284
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 8>and he and he's it seemed like it seemed like

285
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:09.480
<v Speaker 8>he was doing that.

286
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.200

423
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:54.440
<v Speaker 18>And no, I'm glad. You know.

424
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.920
<v Speaker 3>I've just left another busy signing period, warriers on it,

425
00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:58.799
<v Speaker 3>but I'm being good.

426
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, SOE made observation. You said, fifty three, fifty three,

427
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:05.880
<v Speaker 2>fifty three new guys coming in including this class.

428
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, twenty eight from the twenty twenty five

429
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:14.079
<v Speaker 3>recruiting class. Fifty three total new players on the roster.

430
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Some of which have been with the Wildcats previously, like

431
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:24.920
<v Speaker 3>thais Iveya was there a couple of years ago. And

432
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:28.039
<v Speaker 3>you know that's not even including players that entered the

433
00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:30.400
<v Speaker 3>transfer portal that returned.

434
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:30.640
<v Speaker 18>To the roster.

435
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:32.759
<v Speaker 3>I think that was about nine to ten players as

436
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:35.000
<v Speaker 3>well that entered the portal and then came back.

437
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.839
<v Speaker 2>So I asked you online, because I was on another show,

438
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 2>where does this team rank into the recruiting class? What

439
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:43.559
<v Speaker 2>does it rank right now?

440
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.240
<v Speaker 3>On rivals dot com? We have them at forty second

441
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:50.880
<v Speaker 3>nationally and that moved up three spots after the signing

442
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.720
<v Speaker 3>of Peter Laney.

443
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:55.799
<v Speaker 2>So that's you know, honestly, having covered recruiting for a

444
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.400
<v Speaker 2>long time back in the day, that's pretty solid.

445
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. You know, back then and previously before Jet Dish,

446
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.880
<v Speaker 3>a lot of recruiting classes in Arizona where I would

447
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.079
<v Speaker 3>say about fifty five and above. Yeah, Mike stop added

448
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.920
<v Speaker 3>into the low twenty sometimes into the teams. I don't

449
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 3>know about going back to the Dictoma era. Recruiting was

450
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.440
<v Speaker 3>very different back then. But you know, a lot of

451
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:24.599
<v Speaker 3>for having a down year, a lot of turnover on

452
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.960
<v Speaker 3>the coaching staff and trying to piece stuff together to

453
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.920
<v Speaker 3>come out at forty two nationally is not too bad.

454
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:34.920
<v Speaker 4>You know, we know some of those players that could

455
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.640
<v Speaker 4>come back, Dalton Johnson, Genesis Smith. Who are some of

456
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:40.519
<v Speaker 4>the newcomers either from the high school level or from

457
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:43.359
<v Speaker 4>the JUCO level that that Arizona should be Arizona fans

458
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.240
<v Speaker 4>should be looking out for you?

459
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Who are the crown jewels?

460
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, I think the two crown jewels in

461
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:54.480
<v Speaker 3>my opinion of this recruiting classes, Peter Lady, it's like

462
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.799
<v Speaker 3>the cherry on top offensive lineman, you know, out of

463
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:01.599
<v Speaker 3>San Francisco. His brother is committed for the twenty twenty

464
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.400
<v Speaker 3>six recruiting class. But anytime you can get six foot six,

465
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:09.039
<v Speaker 3>three hundred and thirty pounds on your roster as a Frenchman,

466
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:11.000
<v Speaker 3>you feel in pretty good shape.

467
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:12.720
<v Speaker 18>Obviously he probably needs to.

468
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Trim down a little bit, but I think back to

469
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.799
<v Speaker 3>great ad for Arizona and then, you know, just going

470
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.039
<v Speaker 3>over some of these names here real quick. I've always

471
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.240
<v Speaker 3>loved Wesley Yarborough, four start back out of Texas kind

472
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:28.359
<v Speaker 3>of went under the radar, which is weird to say

473
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:31.799
<v Speaker 3>as a four star back out of Texas. But Houston,

474
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:35.119
<v Speaker 3>I think Oklahoma State and Arkansas were heavily involved in

475
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:39.559
<v Speaker 3>his recruitment at Arizona State. Steady on that and you

476
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:41.960
<v Speaker 3>know he broke records out there in the state of Texas.

477
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:44.799
<v Speaker 3>Do it all back, he's going to be really exciting

478
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:49.119
<v Speaker 3>for Arizona. And then really focusing on the offensive line.

479
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:54.160
<v Speaker 3>There's other Polynesian players like Goo and and today that

480
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:56.400
<v Speaker 3>are going to be really good for Arizona. And I

481
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 3>think that was the main focus for this recruiting class,

482
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.960
<v Speaker 3>was stabilizing your offensive line, and not only you know,

483
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.000
<v Speaker 3>on the outside with the dackles, but the inside as well,

484
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:08.279
<v Speaker 3>because we all know that's.

485
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.279
<v Speaker 18>Where you win in college football is on the line.

486
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.640
<v Speaker 2>What do you think this class, you know, being forty

487
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:19.079
<v Speaker 2>two or whatever says about Brenton Now, does it kind

488
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.400
<v Speaker 2>of get some people off the back? Does it say okay,

489
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:22.839
<v Speaker 2>we'll wait and see what does it do?

490
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I think it's optimism. I don't think it gets people

491
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.400
<v Speaker 3>off his back by any any means necessary. If you're

492
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.880
<v Speaker 3>able to get a couple of guys that they're in

493
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:35.279
<v Speaker 3>play for and you end up in that top thirty,

494
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:38.920
<v Speaker 3>top twenty five, possibly, but I think it's a very

495
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.720
<v Speaker 3>good starting foundation for his first through recruiting class. You know,

496
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.559
<v Speaker 3>because he came in when Jetfish left and he had

497
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:48.720
<v Speaker 3>to piece together that recruiting class that I believe ended

498
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:50.000
<v Speaker 3>somewhere around.

499
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:50.880
<v Speaker 18>Fifty to fifty sixty.

500
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:54.559
<v Speaker 3>Didn't end very well, But that's always hard to put together.

501
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:58.359
<v Speaker 3>You look across the board, it's a lot of defense alignment,

502
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:00.119
<v Speaker 3>it's a lot of offense alignment.

503
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:01.559
<v Speaker 18>Showing up the secondary.

504
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:03.599
<v Speaker 3>It's all the little things that you need on the

505
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.640
<v Speaker 3>roster that Arizona's don't have previously last season.

506
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I saw a tweet from Justin Spears today that

507
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:14.599
<v Speaker 4>Arizona added the size of full, full grown Polar Bears

508
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:17.160
<v Speaker 4>in a one mid sized hippo. Is that something that

509
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:19.920
<v Speaker 4>comes with the new coaches such as.

510
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:21.839
<v Speaker 5>I'm blaking on his name right now, but.

511
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.359
<v Speaker 4>So Telavia, is that a product of him now on

512
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.160
<v Speaker 4>the coaching staff?

513
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think you're seeing a product of him

514
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:34.799
<v Speaker 3>on the coaching staff. Adding some of these transfers, like

515
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:38.519
<v Speaker 3>getting Tsavea back to Arizona from Texas. I think that's

516
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 3>a huge Joe Salavea move right there. But you're seeing

517
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 3>his impact more for the twenty twenty six they've offered

518
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:47.720
<v Speaker 3>a lot of guys that are four or five star

519
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 3>players that Arizona both offensively and defensively. Minds you, in

520
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:54.880
<v Speaker 3>terms of being in the Polynesian community, that I don't

521
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:57.799
<v Speaker 3>think Arizona would be in play for that they didn't

522
00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:59.680
<v Speaker 3>have Joe Salave on their coaching staff.

523
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.440
<v Speaker 2>So you've been doing this a while now. You're still

524
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:05.640
<v Speaker 2>a kid to me. You know that. So I'll give

525
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 2>you ni L. I give you coaching, and I give

526
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:13.640
<v Speaker 2>you playing time and U ni L coaching playing time

527
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:19.160
<v Speaker 2>and individual individual and the school and the school? What

528
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.079
<v Speaker 2>give me the order?

529
00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:21.279
<v Speaker 3>I will give me the.

530
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Order of importance to the kids.

531
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.559
<v Speaker 18>I will go number one. Uh, well, we'll go with

532
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:28.359
<v Speaker 18>playing time.

533
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:31.200
<v Speaker 3>I think there's a lot of opportunity both sides of

534
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:33.960
<v Speaker 3>the ball. We talked about an offensive line. There's gonna

535
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.400
<v Speaker 3>be a lot of opportunity there, and then defensively, there's

536
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 3>gonna be a lot of opportunity for freshmen and transfers

537
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:41.720
<v Speaker 3>to see the football field.

538
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:44.359
<v Speaker 18>So to me, that's number one. Number two, I'll go

539
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:45.240
<v Speaker 18>with coaching in.

540
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Terms of uh family environment and the people around the program.

541
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:52.920
<v Speaker 18>You bring into o Salava, you bring in you know,

542
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.720
<v Speaker 18>uh Seth Dougie and what he can do. A lot of.

543
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 3>Texas kids in the sircruity class. So you saw that

544
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Texas influence. Uh so, a lot of familiarity in terms

545
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.519
<v Speaker 3>of coaching staff. And then lastly, you know the university.

546
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:10.599
<v Speaker 3>I think when you step foot on this campus and

547
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:13.920
<v Speaker 3>you know we're sitting here in February where it's supposed

548
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:16.440
<v Speaker 3>to be cold in most places and it's eighty six

549
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.839
<v Speaker 3>degrees and beautiful outside, Yeah, I think I would want

550
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:22.359
<v Speaker 3>to come to Duson or a police out west compared

551
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 3>to being snowed in in the Midwest and back east.

552
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Was So, did you miss nil or did you put

553
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.400
<v Speaker 2>it in three?

554
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.160
<v Speaker 18>It's not on my board, it's.

555
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Not on your You know what. Kids love money, many

556
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:37.440
<v Speaker 2>they do.

557
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:40.880
<v Speaker 3>But I don't think Arizon has the NIL to sway

558
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:41.720
<v Speaker 3>these high.

559
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:42.799
<v Speaker 18>Level four star recruits.

560
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:46.039
<v Speaker 3>If Arizona is winning them over, nil is a part

561
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:48.000
<v Speaker 3>of it, yes, but it's not the major part.

562
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, go good for them if they're not having

563
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:54.039
<v Speaker 2>to waive a lot of money around. They do have money.

564
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get anybody wrong. They do have money,

565
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:57.599
<v Speaker 2>just not a whole heck of a lot of it.

566
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:02.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they have money, it's just you're you're shopping at Walmart.

567
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:05.759
<v Speaker 3>You're not shopping, you know, at at the high level.

568
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:07.240
<v Speaker 18>Stores in terms of not money.

569
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:15.160
<v Speaker 4>So okay, So so obviously Arizona doesn't have the Ohio

570
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:16.960
<v Speaker 4>State two million dollars roster money.

571
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Million.

572
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.599
<v Speaker 5>They got a lot, they got, They got more than.

573
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:26.400
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say.

574
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:29.079
<v Speaker 18>I think it has the potential for the two million dollar.

575
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:33.319
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, But regardless of the money situation, it

576
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:35.920
<v Speaker 4>seems like they're going the route of billion the culture,

577
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.680
<v Speaker 4>as we saw with Dashrafia committeing. You know, that's a

578
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:41.960
<v Speaker 4>legacy of a family right there. Come into Arizona and

579
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:44.319
<v Speaker 4>we'll see if it, if it stays, or what happens

580
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:44.680
<v Speaker 4>with it.

581
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:47.839
<v Speaker 5>But what does what does that type of commitment mean

582
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 5>for the program?

583
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.759
<v Speaker 3>In Bret Brennan, Yeah, you know, Dash is a linebacker

584
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:55.240
<v Speaker 3>that has a lot of work to do. The same

585
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.160
<v Speaker 3>thing could have been said for Noah when he came

586
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.559
<v Speaker 3>to the program as well. But just a solid, i'mbacker

587
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.319
<v Speaker 3>that you can build around. But it just goes back

588
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:06.440
<v Speaker 3>to the roots of Arizona football when Arizona went from

589
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:10.119
<v Speaker 3>a decent program to a good program underneath Larry Smith,

590
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:14.319
<v Speaker 3>underneath Tectomy, and that was recruiting the Polynesian community and

591
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:17.160
<v Speaker 3>going back to their roots with the poly kids. For

592
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:20.559
<v Speaker 3>Arizona football to be successful, they hack to recruit the

593
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:21.640
<v Speaker 3>Polynesian community.

594
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:22.200
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

595
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.960
<v Speaker 3>That's why you have Joe Salve on the on the

596
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.400
<v Speaker 3>coaching staff. That's why you have Duayne and Kenah on

597
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:30.319
<v Speaker 3>the coaching staff. That's why you have Brett Brennan that

598
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:35.079
<v Speaker 3>knows the background of that. When Arizona's add its bets, Uh,

599
00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:38.880
<v Speaker 3>they are full fully ingrained in the Polynesian community and

600
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:42.640
<v Speaker 3>to a lesser extent, which you're seeing with this recruiting class,

601
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:45.640
<v Speaker 3>they're dipping their toes into the state of Texas.

602
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.440
<v Speaker 4>I know today's supposed to be about the signing and

603
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:51.079
<v Speaker 4>the kids, but yesterday we got the full schedule for

604
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.880
<v Speaker 4>the for the football team coming next season.

605
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:55.960
<v Speaker 5>What are some of those games that you're.

606
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:58.039
<v Speaker 4>Kind of keeping your eye and we got they got

607
00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:01.839
<v Speaker 4>a trip to ames Iowa with the Big twelve runner ups.

608
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:04.319
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, you know, ames Isla.

609
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:06.839
<v Speaker 3>That's gonna always be a tough trip, not only because

610
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:08.519
<v Speaker 3>I always staying in Dan Campbell.

611
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:12.599
<v Speaker 18>They do a tremendous job there, but it's just a.

612
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Really tough place to play and it's a tough trip

613
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:16.720
<v Speaker 3>to make I'm sure it's not very comfortable.

614
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:17.880
<v Speaker 18>I don't know if you can.

615
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:21.279
<v Speaker 3>Fly directly into Ames, Iowa. Kind of going back to

616
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:23.599
<v Speaker 3>when Aaron's gonna have to fly to Pollman to play

617
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:24.440
<v Speaker 3>Washington State.

618
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:26.400
<v Speaker 18>You never flew right into Pullman.

619
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.759
<v Speaker 3>You flew into Moscow, or you flew into spoke In

620
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.799
<v Speaker 3>and drove up there. So that's always difficult. And I

621
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:36.960
<v Speaker 3>look at it in terms of this, for this schedule.

622
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Out of the twelve games, eight of them you play

623
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:43.279
<v Speaker 3>in the state of Arizona, seven home games and one

624
00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:45.880
<v Speaker 3>in ten p So eight out of twelve games you're

625
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.039
<v Speaker 3>not leaving the state coming off of a down year,

626
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:51.039
<v Speaker 3>kind of RETOOLI and.

627
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:53.079
<v Speaker 18>Repiecing the coaching staff.

628
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:55.400
<v Speaker 3>I think this is the best schedule you could ask

629
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:58.680
<v Speaker 3>for where, yes, it's gonna be travel, but you're gonna

630
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:00.799
<v Speaker 3>limit your travel and you're not gonna stay very much

631
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 3>of the season.

632
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that makes makes sense. O Gate, I was gonna

633
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:07.759
<v Speaker 2>ask you, but I'm gonna have you as my guest tomorrow.

634
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:12.240
<v Speaker 2>How uh, how optimistic are you for next year given

635
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:15.279
<v Speaker 2>the schedule, given the recruits, and you talked about freshman

636
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:17.440
<v Speaker 2>and if you're gonna rely on freshman, good luck with that.

637
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:21.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, they're they're gonna have some freshmen, but I

638
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:22.279
<v Speaker 3>think it's gonna.

639
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:25.000
<v Speaker 18>Be relying a lot on the transferportal.

640
00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:27.319
<v Speaker 3>Uh, seeing if they hit on guys in the secondary,

641
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:29.839
<v Speaker 3>on the offensive line, and to show up some of

642
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:32.680
<v Speaker 3>the pieces, uh, the running back group. I think that's

643
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:36.039
<v Speaker 3>gonna be critical. The receiving core. They really revamped that

644
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:39.079
<v Speaker 3>receiving corps. I like the schedule for Arizona.

645
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:42.599
<v Speaker 18>I do like Joe Salava. I think the defense side

646
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:45.160
<v Speaker 18>of the ball is going to be tremendous with Dannigan

647
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:47.359
<v Speaker 18>Zalz as they get healthier from last year.

648
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:49.519
<v Speaker 3>I think last year could have been better if it

649
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:53.400
<v Speaker 3>wasn't for the health of the roster. Offensively, Let's see,

650
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:55.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, let's see how's how it's gonna go with.

651
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:56.240
<v Speaker 18>The new system.

652
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Only a second year offense coordinator, a very young guy

653
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.480
<v Speaker 3>out of Texas that is in the quote unquote air

654
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:06.519
<v Speaker 3>raid system, but loves to keep a balanced offense. So

655
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:09.039
<v Speaker 3>I look at Arizona what they have on the roster

656
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 3>and think maybe somewhere between six and at most eight wins.

657
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:15.200
<v Speaker 3>I do think this is going to be a boll

658
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:18.079
<v Speaker 3>team getting to that six win mark. But if you

659
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:19.119
<v Speaker 3>can get to that eight.

660
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:21.480
<v Speaker 18>Win mark, that that would be a tremendous season.

661
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:24.720
<v Speaker 2>You uh, you saw last next game, right, I'm assuming

662
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:26.319
<v Speaker 2>I did.

663
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:28.440
<v Speaker 18>I've seen it up.

664
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Would you come out with that game?

665
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:33.240
<v Speaker 14>You know?

666
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:36.839
<v Speaker 3>And previous years man, I heard Wan mentioned this, especially

667
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.519
<v Speaker 3>under Sean Miller. When they're hitting their three balls early

668
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:42.319
<v Speaker 3>in the game, the opponent usually you see Arizona start

669
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.319
<v Speaker 3>to struggle, start to tend sub they just played their game.

670
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:48.200
<v Speaker 3>I think it's one of the most composed games I've

671
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:51.039
<v Speaker 3>seen on the road in terms of a hostile environment

672
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:54.480
<v Speaker 3>for Arizona, because that BYU craft was tremendous.

673
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:54.920
<v Speaker 18>Uh.

674
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 3>They kept on going inside, attacking the glass, dominated on

675
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:01.559
<v Speaker 3>the backboards, dominated in the PA, and down the rhythm

676
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:03.880
<v Speaker 3>offensively and got enough stops to win that game.

677
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.000
<v Speaker 18>And it looked like a team that has posed.

678
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:09.559
<v Speaker 3>For an Elite eight Final four run, just going about

679
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:12.440
<v Speaker 3>their business throughout the regular season against the high level opponent,

680
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:13.759
<v Speaker 3>but making it look like.

681
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:16.440
<v Speaker 18>An opponent where yeah, we should beat these guys.

682
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:18.599
<v Speaker 3>And there's no question about it, even though it's a

683
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:22.000
<v Speaker 3>tremendous game by BYU, just a very well composed game

684
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:22.640
<v Speaker 3>by Arizona.

685
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I said on the air, that we're gonna go

686
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:28.799
<v Speaker 2>after this, that that was probably their most complete good

687
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:29.680
<v Speaker 2>game of the season.

688
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:31.640
<v Speaker 18>Yeah.

689
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:33.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, there wasn't a lot of slip ups.

690
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:35.960
<v Speaker 3>There were moments where I felt like they could have

691
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:40.000
<v Speaker 3>extended that lead. But sometimes the ball bounces weirdly and

692
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:43.400
<v Speaker 3>odd places that Byu was able to capitalize on that.

693
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:45.759
<v Speaker 3>But this is one of those games where it could

694
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:47.680
<v Speaker 3>have been a trap game as you look at Texas

695
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:49.799
<v Speaker 3>back and they just went on the road to care

696
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:52.440
<v Speaker 3>business in a hostile environment and they are coming back

697
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:53.799
<v Speaker 3>home to face the Red Raiders.

698
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

699
00:33:56.039 --> 00:33:58.000
<v Speaker 18>Thanks, see you guys.

700
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:01.119
<v Speaker 2>By agree, let's take a break one. I think we're

701
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:03.359
<v Speaker 2>going to get another call after the break, and then

702
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:05.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe we'll listen to Brendan's maybe first five minutes, and

703
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:07.920
<v Speaker 2>then we'll got to talk more about it. If you're

704

<v Speaker 2>twenty five former players, coaches and friends to give insight

709

<v Speaker 2>to the coach and the man who led them, competed

781
00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:06.079
<v Speaker 2>bet bet the game Friday. I think I think it's

782
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:07.639
<v Speaker 2>one and a half right now. Probably has been there

783
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:08.880
<v Speaker 2>for a while, Yeah, I think it's I think it's

784
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:11.320
<v Speaker 2>been stuck there. Yeah, I haven't seen anything move. I

785
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:13.480
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's probably gonna move at all. There's Workieman's

786
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Band jam out with the Workie Man's Band February sixth,

787
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:21.039
<v Speaker 2>that's tomorrow at the Tropical Lounge. There's a one hundred

788
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:24.920
<v Speaker 2>thousand super Paper Rock Scissors contest that's been there for

789
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a little while. Pretty popular NFL cross game matchups. I think,

790
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:31.079
<v Speaker 2>well there's only two games. There's only one game now,

791
00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:34.480
<v Speaker 2>so you know, go play at the Soul Sports and

792
00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:36.599
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things. I think at at the poker room,

793
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:40.880
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna have splash spots on the poker table for

794
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:44.519
<v Speaker 2>when teams score, they'll splash the tables. I'm not sure

795
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:47.079
<v Speaker 2>what the what the value is gonna be, but that's

796
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:51.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of free money after team score and six pack

797
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:54.719

799
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.719
<v Speaker 2>that any clubs so remember who earns one hundred and

800
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:05.679
<v Speaker 2>fifty dollars in slots points can pick up a beverage

801
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:07.639
<v Speaker 2>with that. So a lot of stuff going on at

802
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Del Soul. One of my favorite places obviously because they

803
00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:15.559
<v Speaker 2>host us every once a month. Okay, you can call

804
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:18.000
<v Speaker 2>us five two o four one six seventy four forty.

<v Speaker 2>I'd like to hear from you. You want to just

807
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:22.880
<v Speaker 2>can can stop it.

808
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:51.159
<v Speaker 20>Okay, all right, welcome, It's good to see everybody. Obviously,

809
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:54.400
<v Speaker 20>this is as an exciting day for us. It's also, uh,

810
00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:56.599
<v Speaker 20>it's the first time that we have a chance to

811
00:39:56.679 --> 00:39:59.960
<v Speaker 20>talk kind of about what's happened since the initial sign

812
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:01.880
<v Speaker 20>day of high school and junior college players in the

813
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:07.400
<v Speaker 20>early December period. It has been an exciting and intense

814
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:08.400
<v Speaker 20>process for us.

815
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:10.440
<v Speaker 6>We feel great about the young people that we've added

816
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:11.920
<v Speaker 6>to our football program here at the u of A.

817
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:14.000
<v Speaker 6>And there's a lot of people that I got to

818
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:16.760
<v Speaker 6>talk about because I think it's important we understand what

819
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:21.519
<v Speaker 6>this was. Over the last you know whatever six weeks

820
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.559
<v Speaker 6>or eight weeks, we had fifty nine official visits in

821
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:28.480
<v Speaker 6>twenty five days, okay, which is just an insane amount,

822
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:30.239
<v Speaker 6>right That used to be what you would have in

823
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:34.000
<v Speaker 6>a calendar year for a single recruiting class. So really

824
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:38.559
<v Speaker 6>really intense, really really short windows. What we joked about

825
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:40.800
<v Speaker 6>as a staff is it like portal recruiting is like

826
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:43.360
<v Speaker 6>speed dating, but at the end of it, you're getting

827
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:46.320
<v Speaker 6>married and then the next group comes in. They were

828
00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:49.360
<v Speaker 6>all one day visits. It was really really exciting. I think,

829
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:52.199
<v Speaker 6>you know, our staff did an incredible job, and I

830
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.199
<v Speaker 6>got to talk about some of them. Ben Deine is

831
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:57.199
<v Speaker 6>our chief of staff who was involved in conversations with

832
00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.119
<v Speaker 6>everybody from parents to agents, to players to recruits to

833
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:03.400
<v Speaker 6>high school coaches. A ton of work done there, and

834
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:06.519
<v Speaker 6>all done at an extremely high level. Our recruiting team,

835
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:11.480
<v Speaker 6>Guiska Crowley, Fletcher, Kelly, Katie Joyner, and Kamalee Yaquina. The

836
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:15.119
<v Speaker 6>identification process of these people in the portal and how

837
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:20.480
<v Speaker 6>quickly those decisions had to be made was amazing and

838
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:22.719
<v Speaker 6>insane at the same time. When you think about our

839
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:25.599
<v Speaker 6>normal recruiting process for a high school player, you're thinking

840
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:30.360
<v Speaker 6>about twelve, eighteen, twenty four months. Well, this was sometimes

841
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:34.760
<v Speaker 6>five hours and we were making a determination on whether

842
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:36.960
<v Speaker 6>or not to bring the young person on campus. Our

843
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:41.400
<v Speaker 6>compliance Chris and Arquilla shoot. I think Ben was on

844
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:43.960
<v Speaker 6>the phone with her at midnight last night finalizing one

845
00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:48.239
<v Speaker 6>of the letters of intent or not the financial aid

846
00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:50.679
<v Speaker 6>agreement for one of the recruits that we signed today.

847
00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:54.960
<v Speaker 6>She was always available, always on it. She was outstanding.

848
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:59.000
<v Speaker 6>Our academics, right, part of that. You bring in fifty

849
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.079
<v Speaker 6>nine players, they have to give the academic You know,

850
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:04.559
<v Speaker 6>our Cats program is incredible, right. We have a team

851
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:07.280
<v Speaker 6>GPA over a three point zero in the in the

852
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:09.760
<v Speaker 6>fall semester, which is something that absolutely has to be

853
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:12.239
<v Speaker 6>celebrated because that is very, very hard to do and

854
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:14.920
<v Speaker 6>I'm so appreciative of people over in Cats and so

855
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:17.280
<v Speaker 6>Andy Selgatto was the one that was giving all these

856
00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:20.800
<v Speaker 6>presentations to these recruits to their parents, and it didn't

857
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:21.960
<v Speaker 6>matter what day of the week, because it was a

858
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.360
<v Speaker 6>seven day a week process. It wasn't like we took

859
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:27.119
<v Speaker 6>a day off in the middle of it. And then

860
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:29.559
<v Speaker 6>our training staff in our you know, Paul Smith and

861
00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:32.840
<v Speaker 6>Cole and Carrol, our strength staff, you know both of them.

862
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:35.320
<v Speaker 6>Every recruit, every family wants to know how are you

863
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:39.079
<v Speaker 6>going to take care of our son or our brother

864
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:42.119
<v Speaker 6>or our grandson and how are you going to develop him?

865
00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:45.079
<v Speaker 6>And so there was an incredible amount of work for

866
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:48.840
<v Speaker 6>both of those groups in strength and in the training room.

867
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:52.039
<v Speaker 6>Tobrook Blaine with Beyond Football, you know, I think that's

868
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:53.239
<v Speaker 6>one of the best things we do. We just had

869
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:56.960
<v Speaker 6>an incredible event with Lance Briggs and Paul Shields up

870
00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:59.880
<v Speaker 6>there just talking about building your brand and life after football,

871
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:02.960
<v Speaker 6>and just Tobrook does an incredible job. And so for

872
00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:06.440
<v Speaker 6>every one of these recruits, Tobrooke made a presentation about

873
00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:08.159
<v Speaker 6>how she was going to help them build a meaningful

874
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:13.679
<v Speaker 6>life beyond the football field. The Sands and beardown kitchen crew, right,

875
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:17.599
<v Speaker 6>like Chef Danny and his crew, y'all need to come

876
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:20.039
<v Speaker 6>have lunch with us sometime up there. Like the juice

877
00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:22.559
<v Speaker 6>that these people bring to work every day, the positive energy,

878
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:24.599
<v Speaker 6>like what they mean to our team, the relationships they

879
00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:26.840
<v Speaker 6>have with our players and all the student athletes here

880
00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:30.119
<v Speaker 6>at Arizona is incredibly special. And that's a lot of

881
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:32.679
<v Speaker 6>meals they had to prepare for all of us during

882
00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:37.719
<v Speaker 6>these visits. Our creative team, Steven Zalez, Mackenzie Hamilton, Chris Hogan,

883
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.559
<v Speaker 6>and when you start seeing this stuff on social media, right,

884
00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:43.760
<v Speaker 6>that's all these edits, the pictures that are taken, the

885
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:46.519
<v Speaker 6>videos that are produced, just an incredible amount of work

886
00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:48.920
<v Speaker 6>from them, just a lot of fun. And then Lauren

887
00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:53.320
<v Speaker 6>Bossler and Courtney Deathlison with our onboarding team. That's also

888
00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:55.920
<v Speaker 6>a logistical nightmare, right because you have a super tight

889
00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:58.239
<v Speaker 6>window trying to get all these players here in time

890
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:00.760
<v Speaker 6>for the start of school, which was I think January

891
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:04.039
<v Speaker 6>fourteenth or fifteenth, a really tight when and you have

892
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:06.679
<v Speaker 6>you know, Christmas break, and you're trying to accelerate this

893
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:08.960
<v Speaker 6>process for them you know, where are they going to live?

894
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:10.880
<v Speaker 6>You know, you know all these things. They got to

895
00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:13.639
<v Speaker 6>get into school, they got to have all their academics situated,

896
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:17.440
<v Speaker 6>so they were incredible. And then also our athletic administration,

897
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:21.719
<v Speaker 6>Desiree read Francois and her team, you know, Tony Daniel,

898
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:26.400
<v Speaker 6>Rachel Blunt, and Bud Sasser, and they all had different

899
00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:27.960
<v Speaker 6>roles to play in it. The really cool thing that

900
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:30.199
<v Speaker 6>I think everybody needs to know is that for almost

901
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:33.119
<v Speaker 6>every one of these athletes, Desiree made time for them.

902
00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:36.599
<v Speaker 6>She came and met with them in our facility, and

903
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:39.480
<v Speaker 6>sometimes she'd address the group and sometimes if she had

904
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:42.480
<v Speaker 6>you know, she's a busy person, and sometimes it was

905
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:43.920
<v Speaker 6>just she came to lunch and would sit with the

906
00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:45.719
<v Speaker 6>families and have lunch with the families and get to

907
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:48.960
<v Speaker 6>know everybody. And so her effort was outstanding. And then

908
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:51.519
<v Speaker 6>I think our coaching staff did an incredible job because obviously,

909
00:44:51.559 --> 00:44:54.519
<v Speaker 6>like I've said, fifty nine official visits in twenty five

910
00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:57.480
<v Speaker 6>days is like nothing any of us have ever experienced.

911
00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.559
<v Speaker 6>And it was intense and it was exciting, and our

912
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:03.360
<v Speaker 6>coaches wives were involved, and we're so grateful for them

913
00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:05.519
<v Speaker 6>because they're part of this right, They're part of the

914
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:07.719
<v Speaker 6>family vibe and how it feels around here. So them

915
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:09.840
<v Speaker 6>showing up to these official visits was so important.

916
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:11.519
<v Speaker 2>So we're e'sid him.

917
00:45:11.679 --> 00:45:15.199
<v Speaker 6>Thirty three year, thirty three mid year enrollees, right, which

918
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:17.400
<v Speaker 6>is much different than we had a year ago because

919
00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:19.599
<v Speaker 6>we missed the first portal based on when we were hired.

920
00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:22.199
<v Speaker 6>And so now those players are here, and there's players

921
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:24.320
<v Speaker 6>that we've chosen to be here, and we can't wait

922
00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:25.440
<v Speaker 6>to get going.

923
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:33.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's the stuff there. That was like six seven minutes.

924
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:35.920
<v Speaker 2>How long was that? What did you say?

925
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:38.039
<v Speaker 4>That was about seven minutes of a lot of thank you?

926
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:41.119
<v Speaker 4>But what I caught was that he invited the media

927
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:41.559
<v Speaker 4>to lunch.

928
00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh I saw that.

929
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:44.400
<v Speaker 5>I'm pretty I'm pretty pumped about that.

930
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:47.079
<v Speaker 2>That ain't gonna happen. But I guess too, why not

931
00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:49.519
<v Speaker 2>let's do it? What did he say?

932
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:50.199
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

933
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:52.880
<v Speaker 2>God, I really didn't tell. Obviously I would just say okay,

934
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:56.039
<v Speaker 2>but well, thank you everybody, let's go and questions what

935
00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:56.480
<v Speaker 2>do you got?

936
00:45:57.039 --> 00:46:00.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it did say a lot by that's all. So

937
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:03.119
<v Speaker 4>just who he is, right, He is very appreciative of

938
00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:05.559
<v Speaker 4>everyone that that was involved of the process.

939
00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:08.960
<v Speaker 5>Uh, And he seems very passionate about this class.

940
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:11.599
<v Speaker 2>How do you say thank you in five thousand words?

941
00:46:12.239 --> 00:46:13.000
<v Speaker 5>That's yes, and.

942
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:17.599
<v Speaker 2>That's that's four four words in Spanish. But you know

943
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:20.079
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, say thank you. What's what you got

944
00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:23.000
<v Speaker 2>for questions? You know, we got about six minutes?

945
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:23.559
<v Speaker 5>Six minutes.

946
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:26.239
<v Speaker 2>Do two more minutes maybe because maybe you'll get a

947
00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:28.559
<v Speaker 2>question or two in this because before it was like

948
00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:29.400
<v Speaker 2>holy crab.

949
00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:33.639
<v Speaker 14>Remember the question?

950
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:38.599
<v Speaker 21>Just so I think so, I think totally you have

951
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:42.840
<v Speaker 21>twenty two offensive and defensive lineman added correct this recruiting cycle.

952
00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:46.880
<v Speaker 21>How important is it to add the size and get

953
00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:47.920
<v Speaker 21>better in the trenches?

954
00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:50.480
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think that you know, you guys have heard

955
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:52.400
<v Speaker 6>me say it before, but I firmly believe the games

956
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:56.079
<v Speaker 6>are one up front, both sides of the ball, and

957
00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:58.119
<v Speaker 6>I think that's a place that we had a lot

958
00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:01.239
<v Speaker 6>of room to grow last year. And so that was

959
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:04.239
<v Speaker 6>something from the start, as we spoke, you know, as

960
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:07.840
<v Speaker 6>a staff in here and and putting all the pieces together,

961
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:09.840
<v Speaker 6>we knew we had to address that we because it

962
00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:12.440
<v Speaker 6>wasn't it wasn't just about first line players. It was

963
00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:15.760
<v Speaker 6>about creating an incredible amount of competition in that space,

964
00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:20.000
<v Speaker 6>so that that competition forces that to elevate, and so

965
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:21.960
<v Speaker 6>that's what we were focused on, you know, going into

966
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.440
<v Speaker 6>this thing. So twelve twelve offensive linemen, ten defensive linemen,

967
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:27.000
<v Speaker 6>and we're really excited about all those kids.

968
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:33.320
<v Speaker 11>Again, I think about a third of this recruiting class

969
00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:34.360
<v Speaker 11>is from Texas.

970
00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:36.239
<v Speaker 5>Clearly was a priority for you.

971
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Can you just talk about what you know it means

972
00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:40.039
<v Speaker 3>to get more kids from that part of the country.

973
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:43.079
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think that's I think it's a natural because

974
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:44.719
<v Speaker 6>we're going to be you know, there's multiple teams in

975
00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:49.320
<v Speaker 6>our conference that that you know, play in Texas, so

976
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:51.039
<v Speaker 6>for us to be able to go into that state.

977
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:53.559
<v Speaker 6>Obviously there's several coaching members on our staff that have

978
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:56.559
<v Speaker 6>deep ties to Texas, which is really really important. There's

979
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:58.639
<v Speaker 6>also a lot of really good high school football players there.

980
00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:00.679
<v Speaker 6>The state of Arizona is always going to be our

981
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:04.199
<v Speaker 6>priority in recruiting, absolutely number one, right, but we're going

982
00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:06.199
<v Speaker 6>to have to fill out other pieces of that. And

983
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:09.360
<v Speaker 6>given the proximity of Texas and also the high level

984
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:11.840
<v Speaker 6>of high school football there, and then on top of that,

985
00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:13.880
<v Speaker 6>how many games that we're going to be playing there,

986
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:17.000
<v Speaker 6>it makes it a super easy choice for us. And

987
00:48:17.159 --> 00:48:18.119
<v Speaker 6>because of all those things.

988
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.320
<v Speaker 14>Just wondering if you get talked about your philosophy on

989
00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:28.239
<v Speaker 14>JUCO recruiting and maybe how it's overlooked, but you guys

990
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:31.280
<v Speaker 14>landed multiple players from Judos's cycle.

991
00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:35.079
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think, you know, we are looking for people

992
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.480
<v Speaker 6>that we think best fit us. And that was one

993
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:38.960
<v Speaker 6>of the things that we talked about so much, is

994
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:41.360
<v Speaker 6>we're looking for people that are tough, love football, and

995
00:48:41.400 --> 00:48:43.480
<v Speaker 6>want to be here at the University of Arizona. And

996
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:46.000
<v Speaker 6>there are a handful of junior college players that fit

997
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:48.480
<v Speaker 6>that and the positions of need, and so we were

998
00:48:48.519 --> 00:48:51.239
<v Speaker 6>measuring that against what was available in the portal a

999
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:54.320
<v Speaker 6>high school player or a junior college player, and every

1000
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:56.320
<v Speaker 6>program is going to be different that way, and every

1001
00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:58.599
<v Speaker 6>program has different needs. I think, you know, as we're

1002
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:01.519
<v Speaker 6>looking across college football, I think it's going to be

1003
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:04.039
<v Speaker 6>interesting to see what this looks like after this cycle,

1004
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:08.960
<v Speaker 6>because when I'm anticipating people turning over forty to sixty

1005
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:11.920
<v Speaker 6>percent of their roster every year, and so where are

1006
00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:14.800
<v Speaker 6>you going to get those players? And knowing if you're

1007
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:17.320
<v Speaker 6>recruiting from junior colleges that play at a high level

1008
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:19.280
<v Speaker 6>where you trust the coaching staff and you know those

1009
00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:21.800
<v Speaker 6>players have already had a good year two three years

1010
00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:24.199
<v Speaker 6>of development. Those are great places for us to recruit.

1011
00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:28.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's fine. We want to get a call here

1012
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:31.039
<v Speaker 2>or two at least, you know, you answer the questions.

1013
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Texas thing is obvious, right, Yeah. The chances for the

1014
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:37.280
<v Speaker 2>guys going home to play in front of their family

1015
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:40.400
<v Speaker 2>and friends obvious, which is good. And there's a lot

1016
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:42.480
<v Speaker 2>of good players out there, I hope enough to go

1017
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:45.079
<v Speaker 2>around because they're obviously going to Texas, Texas A and

1018
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:48.239
<v Speaker 2>M and some of those schools. Yeah, TCU.

1019
00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:52.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he answered a bit more to what this class

1020
00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:53.280
<v Speaker 4>is going to be.

1021
00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:54.079
<v Speaker 5>What this class is.

1022
00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:58.679
<v Speaker 4>I think you saw it with Camp Scataboo this season

1023
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:02.400
<v Speaker 4>where kind of a Duke Co not Division one, smaller

1024
00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:06.920
<v Speaker 4>school product came and changed the entire team and entire culture.

1025
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:10.239
<v Speaker 4>And maybe he's trying to Maybe he's trying to do that.

1026
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:13.480
<v Speaker 4>We'll see, we'll see what happens. But they was a good,

1027
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:14.800
<v Speaker 4>very good amount of you.

1028
00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Gotta have a you gotta hit a home run, uh

1029
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:21.639
<v Speaker 2>side unseen. Right, I'm telling you, if you get these guys,

1030
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:23.400
<v Speaker 2>you're hoping that they're good and they're good enough for

1031
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Arizona and good enough to keep you competitive in the

1032
00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Big twelve when they're coming from a lower division, and

1033
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:32.960
<v Speaker 2>we all kind of find the our Peter principle, right

1034
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:34.679
<v Speaker 2>where as good as we're going to get at this level.

1035
00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:35.039
<v Speaker 18>Uh.

1036
00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:36.679
<v Speaker 2>And I think there's a lot of guys out there

1037
00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:39.360
<v Speaker 2>that that didn't get the chance to play at this level,

1038
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:41.199
<v Speaker 2>but are very capable of playing this level.

1039
00:50:41.239 --> 00:50:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they're gonna get this chance at Arizona. They're going

1040
00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:45.840
<v Speaker 4>to have a chance to become a fan favorite, which

1041
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:48.599
<v Speaker 4>is easy to do. That Texas State kid, I think

1042
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:49.599
<v Speaker 4>is going to be one of those.

1043
00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:50.880
<v Speaker 5>Guys running back.

1044
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't let me see if I can find

1045
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:56.000
<v Speaker 4>his Yeah, but uh yeah, this is going to be

1046
00:50:56.039 --> 00:50:58.519
<v Speaker 4>a very interesting year just to see what comes out

1047
00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:02.360
<v Speaker 4>of this recruiting fast but because this this is Brett

1048
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:07.039
<v Speaker 4>Brennan's team for the most part, so it's not inheritance

1049
00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:07.960
<v Speaker 4>from Jed Fish.

1050
00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And then you guys got you have the guys

1051
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:11.000
<v Speaker 2>who wanted to come back.

1052
00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:13.559
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, those are your for sure guys, Guys like

00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:18.840
<v Speaker 4>Noah Dalton, even even Tia Savella coming back from Texas.

1054
00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:21.639
<v Speaker 4>You know, he signed on to be not only just

1055
00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:23.880
<v Speaker 4>to come back to Arizona, but to come to Brett

1056
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:24.719
<v Speaker 4>Brennan's program.

1057
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Soya coming back, and that was a big deal, the

1058
00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:30.360
<v Speaker 2>big time offensive coordinator. We're gonna have Seth on tomorrow

1059
00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:33.639
<v Speaker 2>as one of our guests, so that should be a

1060
00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:37.159
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun. And then we have our Super Bowl

1061
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:41.159
<v Speaker 2>show on Friday with Ricky Hunley and Glenn Parker.

1062
00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:45.719
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I mean this is kind of a quiet

1063
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:48.360
<v Speaker 4>time for football, but they're making the most noise that

1064
00:51:48.400 --> 00:51:48.760
<v Speaker 4>they can.

1065
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Right. Here's here's the issue. It's a pretty good rating

1066
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:54.840
<v Speaker 2>forty two. Think about it. There's a lot of teams

1067
00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:57.920
<v Speaker 2>ahead of them. Yeah, so it's next to patch yourself

1068
00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:00.360
<v Speaker 2>on the back. But now the work starts, you know,

1069
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:03.639
<v Speaker 2>getting in better, fighting the spots, making sure that everybody

1070
00:52:03.719 --> 00:52:06.159
<v Speaker 2>is is good, good enough to play here.

1071
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:08.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and you kind of talked about it where you

1072
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:12.239
<v Speaker 4>have these kids going into their Christmas break, yet they're

1073
00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:13.440
<v Speaker 4>making a decision.

1074
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:14.280
<v Speaker 5>For next fall.

1075
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1076
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:18.360
<v Speaker 4>And so their their work started right after the airs

1077
00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:22.599
<v Speaker 4>of the State game and they haven't stopped. We're beginning

1078

00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:27.800
<v Speaker 4>just constant work. And that's probably why he wanted to
