The quickest way to a man's heart 21 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,119 is through his stomach. I agreate in Orlando.

She even tried to say, you know, we 42 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,560 should get a jersey number too, a multiplier replenish, and 43 00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:51,799 I said, no, we cannot do that.

Even Christmas? 68 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: I think for like everybody where we open a president 69 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,759 on Christmas Eve. My in laws do this super fun 70 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,719 game that's called the penny game. So there's a bunch 71 00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:11,280 of like, you know, gifts wrapped up that you don't 72 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,800 know what it is. It could be like five bucks, 73 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,039 it could be like just you know, some candy, and 74 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,120 everyone starts with like fifty pennies. We did eminems this year, 75 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:23,159 Like that's super fun. You know, you get some junk, 76 00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:25,879 you get some good stuff, get trade kind of like 77 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,439 a different white elephant gift. But yeah, it was good. 78 00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:30,319 And then one of our kind of over Christmas break 79 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,560 traditions do we watch all three Lord of the Rings 80 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,080 typically all in one day in a row extended, which 81 00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:37,479 is like the whole day. We're breaking it up this year. 82 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,120 We have a one year old. It's a little harder, 83 00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:42,319 but watch a lot of football, eat a lot of food, 84 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:42,919 and just hang out. 85 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: Min That's incredible, Jermy, you guys do that all in 86 00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:49,000 one day? Is are the Hobbit movies saved for a 87 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:49,719 separate day? 88 00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:53,199 Speaker 3: Then that's a separate kind of situation. You know, we 89 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,840 we for a minute there we're doing every other year. 90 00:03:55,879 --> 00:03:57,280 But I was like, we got to go with og 91 00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,840 like been doing it since, you know, early two thousands, 92 00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:03,520 So we'll get that in there somewhere. I think it's 93 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,080 the twenty five year anniversary coming up here in the 94 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,919 twenty six so apparently they come back to theaters they 95 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,199 kind of Megaflex has been showing them. And those are 96 00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,879 the best. That's my favorite trilogy of all time. I've 97 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,800 read the books a bunch of times. I'm pretty nerdy 98 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,720 about that. I love them. 99 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,439 Speaker 1: I honestly love anytime someone has a holiday tradition that's 100 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,879 like not holiday specific. So like at my house we 101 00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:30,600 watch we usually watch like The Spider Man's for Christmas, 102 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,600 just because I'm obsessed with those have nothing to do 103 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,839 with Christmas, really, so I feel you on that. I 104 00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:38,720 do want to ask you one other non really BYU 105 00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:41,160 related question though, before we really get into it. 106 00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: I saw you retweeted this. 107 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: I saw this on Twitter. Lincoln Riley had some comments 108 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,279 about Notre Dames saying, hey, they weren't willing to play 109 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:52,560 us anytime, anywhere, any place, and that just made me 110 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,920 feel validated as a BYU guy, because I think there's 111 00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:59,759 a lot of people who feel that BYU's apprehensiveness towards 112 00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:02,639 note not being willing to play us at home and 113 00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:05,199 only being willing to play us in the Shamrock series 114 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,720 is a little one sided. But now Notre Dame is saying, oh, yeah, no, 115 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,839 we've had the same experience where they maybe didn't want 116 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,199 to come to our crib, and now BYU and USC 117 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,040 are kind of united in these back to back repeat offenders. 118 00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: On behalf of Notre Dame, there was a report that 119 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,399 it had more to do with which months they were 120 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:27,079 going to play unless on kind of you know, the 121 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,879 home and road situation. But I'm glad that it worked 122 00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:33,720 out because once BYU had Kyle Cansel, you thought, man, 123 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:36,720 who's going to fit in there? You could argue that's 124 00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:38,759 the best game on the schedule next year, and then 125 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,800 Marcus Freeman says, you know, hey, I'm running it back, 126 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,120 So okay, they keep that continuity. It's a great game, 127 00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:47,560 it's a great program. I know that they've taken a 128 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,000 bunch of shots and deservedly, so you can't be elitist 129 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,720 and just take your ball and go home. Nboa wins 130 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,519 the pop Tar Bowl and blah blah blah. I think 131 00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:58,279 it's gonna be awesome. It speaks to the fact they 132 00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:01,279 get one home, one road, which it always bucks me 133 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,800 when they say a home at home. I'm like, it's 134 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,399 not two home games, it's one home, one road, Like, 135 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,040 why is it? Why are you saying it's too home? 136 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,240 It's not. 137 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: That's funny, Jered. 138 00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:13,519 Speaker 3: Where where BYU's at? I'm weird like that. It speaks 139 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:16,680 to where boys at that you know, uh, they're on 140 00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:19,680 they're in a space where their power team and they've 141 00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:21,720 been one of the most successful programs for the last 142 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,319 fifty years. In the last two years and so if 143 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,079 you can win a game like that and you have 144 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,399 a similar regular season to what you've had the last 145 00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:32,480 two years, you should be in the playoff conversation, especially 146 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,480 a Bear and LJ return you away should be a 147 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,680 preseason top fift team team, and then the climb's not 148 00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:38,839 as high. They're up there with the Sherpa and near 149 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,240 the top of the mountain. Just keep winning and then 150 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,839 you can fall a little bit if you lose a 151 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,199 game like that or in league or whatever. But like 152 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,000 a ten and two BYU next year should be in 153 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,040 the mix for a college football playoff. Berth that they 154 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,759 have a win against Notre Dame and Provo. 155 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not wrong, Jerrem, and I think that's why 156 00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:57,639 it's good to dischedule this game. A lot of people, 157 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,120 you know, like Bryan Santiago Tibicy, happen to be signed 158 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,079 getting it done, getting the home in a way, but 159 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,279 getting the home first and then getting the US second. 160 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,959 This deal could never be signed if you were going 161 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,920 to do away than home. I don't trust the as 162 00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:11,560 that we've been saying. I've been joking the quitting Irish 163 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,959 well to go on the road to South Bend first 164 00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:16,519 and to come back to Provo. They've dug BYU. Befans 165 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,120 can be happy finally got their game, but BOU didn't 166 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,560 duck out of the Pop Tarts Bowl. Get that twelfth 167 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,120 win Jerem first time since two thousand and one. I 168 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,920 believe what does that win do for the program going 169 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,800 into the offseason. 170 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,079 Speaker 3: I think it's massive. And honestly, if thea had lost 171 00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:35,279 that game, it's it's not a huge deal like it. 172 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,240 It would have stunted to kind of end the season 173 00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:40,360 on two losses. And now we're talking about this team 174 00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:42,360 kind of like ninety and two thousand and one, where 175 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,560 it was like amazing start to finish. Not one of 176 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,439 the all time great teams, but I think they're the 177 00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:50,839 fourth best team BOI he's ever had, given the fact 178 00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:53,319 that you have eighty four, ninety six, eighty three, and 179 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,360 then it's probably this team because they played a power 180 00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:59,040 conference schedule. They went twelve and two. They beat everybody 181 00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,680 not in Texas. It was nice to beat a team 182 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:04,920 with Tech in the name. They'll play Utah Tech next year, 183 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:07,920 you know, so all kinds of texts, but it was 184 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,800 great and it's a bigger deal to return baron LJ 185 00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:13,879 than it would have been to win the game. If 186 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,160 you can do all of that, that's good. And all 187 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,000 indications right now are pretty positive that Lj's probably coming back. 188 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,920 He has yet to announce his intentions, but it sounds 189 00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:26,240 like he probably will, which is great news. And Baron 190 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,199 LJ coming back does more from Boy's preseason ranking than 191 00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:30,759 the game against Georgia Tech. 192 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 2: Would you say it coming back? I'm gonna rip off 193 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,320 the band aid, Jerem. You know what it is, there's 194 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,080 a coach that might not come back. You didn't think 195 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,000 coaches I guess can come back because Marcus Rieman says, 196 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,759 let's running back. But there's a certain coach named j 197 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,919 Hill that is reportedly could be pulled a high likelihood 198 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,879 of going to Michigan and going to join Kyle Whittingham 199 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,519 is former you know coach. What could that do to 200 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,759 the program? Just your thoughts on everything going on right 201 00:08:56,799 --> 00:08:58,519 now with BYU's coaching staffs. 202 00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, if leaves, uh, you know, and he is at 203 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,440 some point. It's it's not like is going to keep 204 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,879 it forever. It's too good. If you're if you're a 205 00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:09,480 good coach, you probably bounce. I mean, it's not a 206 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,480 it's not a calling. It's not a state president for 207 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:14,200 ten years as the DC. Although I wouldn't mind that, 208 00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:14,519 you know. 209 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: That we should we should write that it's a contract, right, 210 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:17,279 we should write that in. 211 00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:20,759 Speaker 3: The contract manifest all those in favor, I I raise 212 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,440 my hand man. 213 00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 2: Let's go as well. 214 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 3: Jay's really good and this would be an incredible opportunity 215 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:29,600 for him. Uh, you know, it makes total sense. You 216 00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:33,000 know if someone comes and perhaps doubles your salary and 217 00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:35,799 you increase the exposure being at Michigan. I mean, that's 218 00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:38,279 a top five job in college football that that school, Like, 219 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,480 come on, it all makes sense. And to go to 220 00:09:40,519 --> 00:09:43,320 Weaver States in Michigan in three years is quite the ascension. 221 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,240 And Jay has paid his dues and it's his time 222 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:48,879 and he reunites with Kyle like it all makes sense. 223 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:51,879 It's all good. And you know, be always bigger than 224 00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:54,799 one defensive coordinator or one offensive coordinator or frankly even 225 00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:58,080 one head coach. You know, and if Colonia has taken 226 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,759 the Penn Stage job, Jay, it would be the b 227 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,000 you head coach undoubtedly. So Jay's in a good spot 228 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,919 wherever he goes, because he's a great person, he's a 229 00:10:04,919 --> 00:10:08,519 great coach. And if he bounces. I think there are 230 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,320 five candidates of note, three internal, two external. The internal 231 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,879 would be Kelly Papanga, Justin Ana and Gennaro Guildford and then 232 00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:18,679 the external would be Sean Newall, who was Who's kind 233 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,960 of Sean and Jay Hill were the top two names 234 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,559 when Jay was hired. And then one that Spencer brought 235 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,159 up today that I was interested in is Justin Wilcox, 236 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,960 former Oregon d C cow head coach let Go and Berkeley. 237 00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:33,000 He could be interesting. I'm not hearing reports of that. 238 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,399 Just kind of spends his opinion there, but I would 239 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:37,360 think that Sean Neuwa would probably be your leader in 240 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:40,759 the clubhouse. So we'll see who boy goes with. And 241 00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:42,799 we're kind of just waiting on the official news. Like 242 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,279 all the indications of ports conversations behind the scenes, public 243 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,960 layer that Jay is going to get that job. But 244 00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:51,600 as of last night, and I double checked just a 245 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,720 few minutes ago, I was told that he has not 246 00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:56,639 alerted coaches or players that he is officially taking that 247 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,320 job or got that job quite yet. So we'll see 248 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,679 when anaid happens. But I would love nothing more than 249 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,000 for j Hill to tweet out the Leonardo DiCaprio gift 250 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,039 with the family safe, you know, text on it coming, 251 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,200 but I don't actually believe that that would happen. 252 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: Jerem speaking of coordinators, something I found really interesting when 253 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,000 diving into this Georgia Tech game and the Pop Tarts Bowl, 254 00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:26,279 was bou played two games this year without l J. 255 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,960 Martin while having a true freshman quarterback, and those games 256 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,200 were Iowa State and Georgia Tech. Iowa State which he 257 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,320 got injured at the beginning of that game. And we 258 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,960 know how vital LJ was to the pass game, we 259 00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:40,120 know how vital he was obviously in the run game 260 00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:43,080 being your number one running back. What does it say 261 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,240 to you about obviously Bear Bachmeier, but I also think 262 00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:49,759 Aaron Roderick as a coordinator in terms of what he 263 00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:53,159 was able to do with this offense. You say, hey, hey, 264 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,480 we're gonna tie one hand behind your back. You don't 265 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,639 have LJ, who is basically half your offense, go ahead 266 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,200 and win both of these games. What does that say 267 00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:06,960 to you just about the football intelligence and how Aaron 268 00:12:07,039 --> 00:12:10,399 Roderck was kind of able to make things work despite 269 00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:13,080 it not being a perfect situation with Georgia Tack and 270 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:13,759 Iowa State. 271 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 3: I don't understand the a Rod haters. He's developed three 272 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,559 quarterbacks and the guys that have had NFL contracts, one 273 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,919 was the top two pick. I mean he knows the 274 00:12:25,919 --> 00:12:30,240 game and he knows what his player strengths are. Second, 275 00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:33,240 you know, last three quarters against Iowa State, they had 276 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,080 to check out the game plan. Their game plan was 277 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,879 the rush of three hundred yards. They had to suddenly 278 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,480 chuck it. They throw for three hundred. Yeah, in this game, 279 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,600 you know you have no l Jerricione, You're going to 280 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,679 be limited with Enoch and Joe Bessea. They were good 281 00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:47,440 when they got the ball. Barter then tweaked his ankle 282 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,200 early in the first quarter. It's like, oh my gosh, what, like, 283 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,039 how are they going to manage this? Bar throws for 284 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,759 three twenty five. I mean, that was an incredible performance. 285 00:12:55,799 --> 00:12:59,879 He understands what the situations are and byu you know, 286 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,559 that second half cranked it up, especially in that fourth quarter. 287 00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:06,279 Another comeback made it happen. In the past game, Carson 288 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,320 Ryan had his best game as a Cougar that uses 289 00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:11,679 a tight end. So that rhetoric's kind of gone right, 290 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,039 and hopefully there are more tight ends that come in 291 00:13:14,039 --> 00:13:16,559 here and have years like that. Shout out to a 292 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,200 certain tight end at USC and I think he does. 293 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,279 I think he does a great job, and I've really 294 00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:26,440 enjoyed kind of what UI does, does DYU have guys 295 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,240 with four to four speed on the edges and running 296 00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:32,120 backs that run four to three. No, they have LG. 297 00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:35,399 Martin who's more of a bruiser. They have possession receivers 298 00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:38,279 and guys who are granted, Parker is fast, but like 299 00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:42,720 Chase and Parker and Carson and these guys made it happen. 300 00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:44,799 Joe Beson went for almost seven yards to carry when 301 00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:46,960 he got the rock, and BYU was good in their 302 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,639 power rushers. That means when you have two yards or less, 303 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,559 do you either get a first down or a touchdout. 304 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,000 Boa was three for four. So they made that happen 305 00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:57,200 when they needed to. And I think a healthy bear 306 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,559 in the system for another year. As they sophomore, he'll 307 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,200 be so versatile, like he can just open up and 308 00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:05,720 chuck it thirty eight times for three hundred and twenty 309 00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:08,440 five yards, Like that's almost you know, that's you know, 310 00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:11,799 approaching ten yards per attempt, which is a monster number. 311 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,799 Or the dude next year is going to have some 312 00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:16,679 games where he rushes for one hundred yards. He gained 313 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,840 six sixty seven this year, so minus stacks in TFLs, 314 00:14:19,879 --> 00:14:21,759 he was down in the five hundreds, but he gained 315 00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:25,159 almost seven hundred yards. He had a spectacular freshman year. 316 00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:28,039 One of the best developers of quarterbacks in the country 317 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,200 for a Rod, And you know, hopefully that continues with 318 00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:35,360 U because I think a Rod likes Kilane, likes Provo, 319 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,399 and he's doing a great job. Man. He's he's right 320 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,240 in the same mold as Norm Chow and all the 321 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,960 guys that he learned from. 322 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, he definitely is. He's riding that for sure. BYU 323 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,399 athletics and football is at an all time you know, a 324 00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:50,960 great We'll transition to basketball after this question, Jared, but 325 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,120 I need to finish on this. You mentioned what could 326 00:14:53,159 --> 00:14:56,240 a certain USC tight end that's in the portal do 327 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,600 for this program. 328 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,679 Speaker 3: Certainly hope that whoever you a it's in the portal, 329 00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:02,480 that they can come in and have a similar output 330 00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:05,720 to Carson Ryan of Okay, you did something there, but 331 00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:07,720 we can use you here, and I think he always 332 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,600 does a great job of Okay, if you're key in 333 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,440 need and you come from New Mexico State, we're going 334 00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:14,679 to use you as a blocker and be effective. Did 335 00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:16,519 they throw a single time to Keen All you? I 336 00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:19,080 don't think so. You know, but with Carson Ryan, they 337 00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:21,519 used the skills there, so you got to go to 338 00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:23,039 the portal and get a guy that's going to be 339 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,240 your main guy again, because you do have some young 340 00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:27,679 guys that are in the mix. No, Moyaki actually scored 341 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,000 the first offensive touchdown of the year against Portland State, 342 00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:32,679 but it wasn't thrown to a ton after that. I 343 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,679 think caught one ball against West Virginia maybe that I'm recalling. 344 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,759 And there's some young guns in that group that could 345 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,200 bossom perhaps, But I'd love to see some depth there 346 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,159 because in the future you always recruited that position very 347 00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:48,000 well highlighted Briy brock Harris of course. But they've got 348 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:51,159 some other dudes that are on missions, like Jackson Doman's 349 00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:53,039 going to come back from the mission in two years 350 00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:55,039 and be a baller as well, and the ord kids 351 00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:59,360 from Dallas last year. They like Tygetchee. They've got all 352 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,120 kinds of guys in the pipeline. They do need an 353 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,279 the media fix though at that position, and perhaps it's 354 00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:06,480 a certain someone at USC. 355 00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's such a bummer to see Carson Ryan 356 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:13,480 go out on that incredible performance because you're like, dude, 357 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,000 we would like he was incredible this season and you're 358 00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:18,559 bum that you don't get to see it again next season. 359 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,200 Speak of new additions, though, Jerem by U basketball adds 360 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,039 a mid season edition in Abdullah with his addition, and 361 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,879 you're getting a break, getting rest. What's your confidence level 362 00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:36,120 with this by U basketball team heading into conference play 363 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,000 on a scale. 364 00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: One to ten, like a nine. I think Yu played 365 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,960 a really really good non conference obviously had some by 366 00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:45,559 games at the very air that you can ask the 367 00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:49,000 specific idea about his feelings on that, but it was 368 00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:51,519 it was good to it was good to play a 369 00:16:51,559 --> 00:16:55,000 super tough schedule, six neutral games or away from Prolo 370 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,919 in a row, and then you know, you come home 371 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,840 and you feeling good. They'll be well rested. Perhaps there'll 372 00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:03,559 be some russ in that first exposure at Kansas State, 373 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,799 which by the way, is on CBS. You talk about 374 00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:09,319 exposure for BUA football on ABC and them In's basketball 375 00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:13,440 on CBS this Saturday afternoon prior to my Seahawks taking 376 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,440 down the Niners for the one seed in the NFC. 377 00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:19,319 It'll be a fun Saturday, but that there could be 378 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,799 some russ there and you're playing drum Tay's team, and 379 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,519 it's pick twelve now and it all matters. And then 380 00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:28,640 it's Arizona State at home with the excitable Bobby Hurley, 381 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,799 and you know, Boa should start strong in conference play. 382 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,599 Hopefully they jump out to a four and oh record, 383 00:17:34,599 --> 00:17:37,680 but who knows. It's tough man and Boi is not infallible. 384 00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:40,640 They have arguably the best starting lineup in the country 385 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,640 and then very limited bench right now. I do think 386 00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:47,359 abdulah Ahmad adds some toughness, some rebounding, some shot blocking. 387 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,359 It's gonna take him a minute to get in the system. 388 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,480 He literally practiced one and a half times before his 389 00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:54,799 first game and then they took this big break. So 390 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,599 he'll get some practices in prior to their game Saturday, obviously, 391 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,440 but it's going to take a sec for him to 392 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,799 have a big impact. I don't know that he'll have 393 00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:06,119 a massive impact. We're kind of hoping. He's like a 394 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,240 five and five guy most of the season. Not a shooter. 395 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,880 He's more of a cleanup guy, can finish with both hands. 396 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,799 But he's got some deep of skill. If you are 397 00:18:15,519 --> 00:18:17,599 Hadeen Book, you're going to be battling for minutes there 398 00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:20,480 and then xavieron Staton probably is limited in his minutes 399 00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:23,400 because of man. Just a little more experience, a little 400 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,160 more ready right now. 401 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to think with him coming in, what's 402 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,440 it going to look like? But look, you need a 403 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,680 guy to back up Keba, no doubt about it. Keba 404 00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:35,319 and Abdulla are going to be the forces X And 405 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,480 maybe needs a little bit more development Hadeen. Maybe he 406 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,359 can play in his true position before. You never know, 407 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,039 but I like the rotation of adding of him to 408 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,400 the roster. Jerrem, We'll get you out of here on this. 409 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,799 Why is number three who had that thirty point triple 410 00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:49,599 double and shot out to Mihilo? He was going to 411 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,440 be a hated man in provo if he had missed 412 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,960 that shot. Why will Aj be the number one pick 413 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,799 in the twenty twenty six NBA draft. 414 00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 3: I just think he's super ready, And you know, I 415 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,839 can see Camboo being the first pick Darreon Peterson. You know, 416 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,759 with his hamstring, that's tough situation for him. I would think, 417 00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:09,640 right if Aj or Cam had that situation. But AJ's 418 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,440 already got the NBA body, already has the length. The 419 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,319 only thing that kind of AJ needs to work on. 420 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,880 Right now, and I've said this out loud. There are 421 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,880 two things. One is he needs a little more lift 422 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,319 on his free throw, a little more arc. And then 423 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,359 two is I want him to shoot threes a little more. 424 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,759 He Cam Buz has actually made more threes, and then 425 00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:28,079 Aj has. At this point, I would love Aj to 426 00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:30,319 shoot a little more from a distance. I think he's 427 00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:32,920 got a nice stroke from there. He doesn't force it though, 428 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,960 He lets the game come to him all those phrases. 429 00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:39,240 He just plays the game the right way and he 430 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,119 creaked it up a notch. I think second half of 431 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,400 Clemson to now he just said, hey, I need to 432 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,279 help my team in a different way. He was kind 433 00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:49,960 of at nineteen a game in December. He went to 434 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,400 twenty eight a game. I mean it was crazy. He's 435 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,519 rebounding more, which I know Ace has told me he 436 00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,359 wants to rebound way more. He's like, there's no excuse 437 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,519 for him not having ten every game, and so he's 438 00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:01,799 hitting the gloves as more. He's depending at a high level. 439 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,480 He's doing everything. The tennis sists obviously are massive fun 440 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,759 to watch. Man Joy's never had a player like this. 441 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,720 I mean when the Hedgean Bradley they thought maybe at 442 00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:12,319 some point he'd be a high draft pick. He goes 443 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,799 number two after his mission. But b y U with 444 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:17,279 an akd bonsa, I mean, enjoy every second of this 445 00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:18,359 because it's pretty special. 446 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 2: God enjoyed his special no doubt, because when he leaves 447 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,200 and what not, even leaves after this season, he ain't 448 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,920 coming back unless he's visiting and or making stop bys. 449 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,200 He's going to be playing on Sundays. 450 00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:31,519 Speaker 3: His mom says he needs to get his degree, so 451 00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:35,759 who knows, maybe he will be Maybe he hey, fans 452 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,720 loveday back and got his law degree in the off 453 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,440 season with the Niners, so don't rule it out. 454 00:20:39,599 --> 00:20:41,799 Speaker 2: This is definitely not you know, I think he was 455 00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:44,519 an interview with Kevin Durant saying that they've even worked 456 00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:46,240 out or that for him to get his degree in 457 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,160 that So yeah, hey, BYU education to play ball at 458 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,440 b YU didn't get a BYU degree.
