third Friday edition of Cougar Suppos. Let's fire up the
ESPN the Fans starting lineup and I can introduce to
you the co host I have for this wonderful edition
General Conference weekend, Easter weekend edition of Cougar Sports. Let's
start in. First, I need to know is a Jay
whoso the new tribal chief.
Speaker 2: I'll get his thoughts on that.
Speaker 3: After the show, we got Brett always bringing the hammer.
You can follow them on the socials at the Hammertime
show putting out all the content. Brett, how are we
doing today?
Speaker 4: Brother?
Speaker 5: I love that it's cold, man, I love that it's cold.
I know that's an unpopular opinion. I know there's you're smiling,
you say to those who are ready for spring to come.
Speaker 6: I woke up this morning, I.
Speaker 5: Walked out shot in my car and I felt like
it was October amen, and I loved it. I loved
just sitting in the thirty degrees. I love turning the
heater on in my house from the show, putting a
hoodie on.
Speaker 6: I love that it's.
Speaker 5: Cold because, to be fair, the last alumni game that
I went to, because today is Alumni Day Friday, the
last alumni game I went to, I was on the
sideline with Spencer Winton at YU TV, and I remember
I was wearing a puffer coat and it was cold. Man.
And so I'm glad that it is April third, it
is Alumni Dight once again, and it's still cold before
it gets way too hot, way too hot, indeed, because look,
we're in a drought.
Speaker 3: We need the moisture, we need all the cold. We
need it to snow and rain as much as possible.
We didn't get any again for the second year in
a row.
Speaker 2: That's not good.
Speaker 3: I remember two years ago, three years ago, twenty twenty three,
when it snowed that first week of April, you know,
I remember where it was snowing all the way in
March that year. Ever since then, it's been a drought
the last two years, twenty twenty four, excuse me, twenty
twenty five to yeah, twenty twenty four, now twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: I wonder what twenty twenty six is going to bring.
Speaker 3: We need to know, we need to snow from Thanksgiving
all the way through January so we have a good spring.
So I'm worried about the climate. I'm worried about the environment,
no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: As well. Let's welcome in. You can catch him.
Speaker 3: He is the running back here at ESPN, the fan,
the five foot ten five foot eleven. Black plays slot receiver,
just so everybody knows the wonderful Girthy Gern. He's got
the great calfs as running backs. We got the padres
had on today to Brendancy Journey.
Speaker 2: How are we doing, tod A g Man, I'm doing
all right. I love Bander Wealth, great sponsor of the show,
but you're your introduction. Kind of frustrated me because it's
tax season, and I get really frustrated with myself. That's fair,
I really do. Look like every year I go through
the same process. Right, you start getting your returns like
mid January, late jamaries, like, all right, I'm going to
be on it. Yeah, then you wait, you know, right,
and once again I'm going to be that guy filing
it on April fourteenth, right, just desperately in this sounds
like the perfect storm because I hate that I procrastinate, right,
I hate but that I hate the entire process. Not
to get too political, but the way this country does
taxes is stupid.
Speaker 6: I don't do Is there I don't know. Is there
a better way to do it? I don't.
Speaker 2: There has to be there, absolutely has to be whole
concept that I have to pay for a service. So
that I can pay money to the government is so
messed up.
Speaker 6: Will turn a business out of anything.
Speaker 2: I don't know, and I do enough, Like I mean,
I covered the Warriors. They didn't take any taxes out,
so I'm gonna have to I don't know, fo whatever.
I always pay something.
Speaker 4: I hate that.
Speaker 2: And it's just.
Speaker 5: So much freelance work in sports that like you have
to pay back so much that I think most people
don't deal with because they go to their job and
they get the W two and all that stuff. It's
like you kind of forget when you get to the
end of the year. You're like, oh my gosh, I
owe all of this back.
Speaker 2: And then I'm so dumb that I'm I'm absolutely certain
that I don't take all the deductions just because I, oh,
just because I want to get the thing done so
much and just be done with it that that I
don't probably don't put as much.
Speaker 5: I'm sure that's their strategy to they just wear you
out so you don't take all the money.
Speaker 3: Smart device, we need to get you set up and
and you Joe Holloway, you know, and the.
Speaker 2: Fact that I'm giving money, not not to get too political,
but the fact that I've given on a political time
this government.
Speaker 6: Show us how you really feel.
Speaker 2: Hey, look, I want to stay balanced. I want to
stay balanced, and this might reveal you know. I mean,
I've revealed you know where I stand politically with things.
It's not just this government's the last one too. It's
not any particular administration. It's just the government. Right.
Speaker 5: I don't like giving money away. I don't care if
it's to bother, to research, to Obama. But like, I
don't want to get money away. I want to keep
all my money. Look, I had no problem if I
had to give money to you guys.
Speaker 2: I like both of you.
Speaker 6: I love you. I would not give you my I'm
so grateful that just thought.
Speaker 2: This is why I'm friends, because you were just so
honest with me. You look me you outside, I'd being
smiled with you. Said that personal, and I grieve with it.
Speaker 3: She said, it's not personal, But I just what, you know,
if I if I had to, you know, And maybe
it's because look, I'm a I'm a different type of
you know person. Maybe because I don't make enough I've
had to like actually keep that just I'm just so
poor with it already. But yeah, you know, maybe want
to get my own business.
Speaker 2: It just gnaws me. But I want to come off
that because it's it's a it's a it's about covering springball.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say it's a it's alumni day, g
Man before Springball's alumni day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm done with the text. Are you going
down to the absolutely?
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: They're gonna have a lot of media opportunities, lots of
interviews to do, at least that's what they've we've been told.
So yeah, I want to get on that for sure.
And I think about the coverage during springball. There's a
lot of guys I want to talk to that I
haven't been able to a lot of the newcomers, and
this is a newcomer that you haven't talked to. You
looking forward to. I want to talk to Pocky f
now really get to I really get to know his story,
because I think that's one of the more extraordinary developments
that the three guys and and none of us really
knew much to differentiate. You know, you had Zach Yamauchi
Junior se uh or is it j R C? I
just you know Junior? Yeah, Well I don't think you
go by j I think you go by that Pockey
fen now right, It's like, okay, one of those guys
is gonna pan out. And it's become very that Roderick
had his eyes on pot from the start Aboutely and
they missed out on him in high school. And you
look at the credentials. You hate to differentiate in this
way because you get a Faguelus guy like Waitland Lapuajo
from Utah State. So some of those guys, you know
that they supersede the schools that are coming from. But
the fact that Packey fen now was with Washington yep,
and the other guys were with Stanford, and you just
state respectfully, yeah, it kind of makes sense to Pockeys
he goed. But but I think all those guys are
going to contribute, maybe not this year so much, but
in future years. But Pocky, now that's your left ackle.
It's done. It's done. I mean they meant they mentioned
Pocky from the start.
Speaker 6: I think a rod I don't want to spoil it,
but I believe said that.
Speaker 2: They pointed out so much, and he's the first. They're
very happy with him, yep, very happy, and they're not
hiding it. It's like, yeah, he's we gave him first
reps and he's still there, and he's exactly if a
guy wants the job, a guy wants the job.
Speaker 3: I look, I know they want to carry competition over,
but when you have positions of need, yeah, out of
the transferport. If a guy wins the battle, just name
him as he's the guy.
Speaker 2: I spoke with katu Uluabe actually the first week of
spring practice, and he's everything you want him to be.
Sounds like a leader speaks to the leader of all
the of all the stuff I've heard about Katou Luabe,
and I believe all of it. What a Rod said.
Someone just asked randomly, are there any defensive guys that
stood out? He just said, Kato Alabi's making plays every day. Well,
that was the question I asked him every day. Good job, Ronnie,
because that was a very notable thing. When the offensive
guys noticing you, I mean the defensive guys, yeah, I
means something. You know, you take that to the bank, right,
But you pair that with an offensive coach like man
that Katy's giving us trouble got.
Speaker 3: Jack Kelly when you know they prior to last season. Yeah,
that's two linebackers. Yeah, so Kato Lobby is.
Speaker 2: Gonna be nice.
Speaker 8: Nah.
Speaker 2: And now they're saying he's the second fastest guy on
the team, Well second only to fast these linebackers.
Speaker 6: What in the world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jack Kelly was also said glasgar if I'm not mistaken,
it's pretty freaking fast.
Speaker 2: And we've heard good things about Jake Clifton. Yep, Yeah,
that's the guy I want to interview. I want to
get to know history. I don't think anyone's interviewed Jake Clifton.
Speaker 3: Yeah, coming off of a mission, was at Kansas State.
I remember contacting Jake prior to his mission. Hey, could
you come on to talk about your commitment to Kansas
State and decision of going to mission, And he just
didn't want to rub people the wrong way. And then
I had contact him, but it was too late because
he already signed. So you know, the guy tried to
get him in that period because one's been in the paper.
It's over and Jake say, yeah, this is pretty funny
you're reaching out to me.
Speaker 2: I ended up at BUYU.
Speaker 3: I was like, Hey, everybody's path eventually crosses at some point,
you know, they end up with the why anyway, g man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the battle for middle it's okay.
Speaker 3: Can I just say it right now that I thin
Kata louw is gonna be the starady middle linebacker.
Speaker 2: He is, and there's gonna be two starting middle backers. Yeah,
they'll be rotating way. He's going to be running a
three four defense. Just be ready for it. Okay, that's
gonna because that's your three three five. That's gonna be
the base formation. You want to get the best eleven
guys on the field, and Sarah is still there? Is
he a part of the best eleven? That's bad. He's
he needs to have a really good fall camp.
Speaker 3: Bro, he's got up it because they're dude, Like Kelly said,
you have this. You asked him that question. Kelly said,
you have his competition. Kelly was very straightforward. You yeah,
you better look, you better wake up. That's a good
that's a good thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like c l A a lot. I like
his skill level. But but man, he's gonna be battling.
He's gonna be battling big time. For It's funny Harrison.
Speaker 3: He took Harrison Taggart's job right because it was competition,
and now someone else is here to take his job.
Speaker 2: Hey, here's another guy that started to percolate that I
think a lot of people forgot about. Is we were
all in love with Lucy TALMOI Peo and and the
guy from Texas whose name I'm forgetting the d and
what's his name? I'm getting This is what happens when
you're when you get old guys, is.
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: You st from Texas? I was thinking from Texas, no
school he last played. People kind of forgot about Hunter Klegg. Yeah,
Hunter Clegg has kind of been forgotten about all line
I got a lot of reps last year at the
start of the season. He was ahead of all those guys.
He was, and he's starting to percolate again. Yes, Kelly
popingas mentioned him several times and he's mentioned him at linebacker, Oh,
which is interesting. That's interesting. Yeah, so he's gonna be
that hybrid. I think they want him to be the
Logan Latui. He's athletic enough. Have you seen his tape
and you've seen his tape and Ice Caning I ask
you that playing in America Fork, he's athletic. He mentioned
him as a leader and very star. Yep, former four star.
Speaker 3: Don't forget about Hunter was committed at Utah, came to BYU.
Speaker 2: Gotta put that out there. He has stuff, man, and
he has the coaches trust yep and I see him
as a Logan Latwoy type. I think that's what he's
eventually going to be for this defense. Guys, Logan Latulia
was good. He had as good a year defensively as
anybody on the team. Last year. He did a lot
of things. But when I saw him down the field,
covering guys twenty three years down the field and not
only doing it but doing a good job at it,
that was tremendous for this defense. So anyway, I always
go back. This defense has so much ability to be variable,
the depth on the on the lines and the linebackers.
I do worry about the death at cornerback. That's where
I want to interview Lewis Walker because to me, and
I've been on a record on this, the bigger loss
was Gennaro Guildford over Jay Hill. Seems crazy. I'm with
you know, I bought into that. We've been trying to
push that that. Talking about what Gennaro Guildford was able
to produce with that cornerback position was extraordin There's a
lot of pressure on lois really really really extraordinary, not
the fact that he was able to attract town to BYU,
but the fact that he was able to keep them
within the program. It's not easy for double minorities at
b YU. It's been a battle since I started covering
BYU and and yet to go to the junior college
where I was like, there's no way we can keep
these guys in the program for more than a year
or two years. That's generally been been the case, and
General has made a home for these guys. It's like, Hey,
I was just like you guys, and and it's been
a really really significant thing for this BWAYU football program.
And I hope that it can be maintained that and
it worries me. Yeah, let's get to as far as
attracting the talent and then maintaining the talent. I think
that's something. Yeah, it's definitely a question mark.
Speaker 3: Let's let's get to the rest of We're gonna get
into some AJ debounds to sound here in the nitty
gritty AJ playing around with the draft, he's I think
he said something as a joke. Brett found this sound
club got to give credit credit to our digital content
creator here at ESPN the fan. But then Aj kinda
I feel like is in mud because it kind of
feels like, oh, he was nonchalant sideye and laughing, joking
about not coming back, and now all of a sudden,
it's not that people are asking him pressing him about
it rightfully, so he kind of feel like is stuck.
Speaker 2: What did he have to say?
Speaker 3: We're gonna discuss it here momentarily, but we do that
in nitty gritty. At three oh five, Clonis to Hockey
Medivailability to Sound the head coach b YU Football addressed
the media as well as uh, we're gonna get into
stem dates. Smith comments he actually was complimentary about Pooka,
but was also objective and honest about how.
Speaker 2: Pooka Nakola is a good dude. He is, just so
people know. But also at these moral claus like you
gotta be careful now that you've been in the limelight.
Speaker 3: People don't have your best interest. They see you as
a chi ching dollar sounds, so you gotta be careful.

Utah dot com. Just your point GMN I think, which
is funny on the taxes. Uh, look, I'd find it
funny that everybody procrastinates to the last minute to do
their taxes.
Speaker 2: We as well haven't done it.
Speaker 3: And I had to hit Blande up and says, hey,
I need the I need the tax smart wealth help,
so look do it now, you know, and and file
and help shoot, not file, but contact Blaine Anderson the
scrip at Banderwalth Banderwealth. God calm all right, g man.
I don't know if you heard this, but look, I
love AJ and he's a great player. But sometimes when
you joke, and we know bo E Sports Nation at
the app for fool's joke if your joke too far?
Does that this was a j on Yahoo Sports. He's,
you know, revealing why you know why he came to
by you and talking about it. They asked him if
he's coming back, let's tune into what he had to say.
Speaker 7: Challenge me to be more of a vocalated So I
tried to show a lot of my personality. And you
don't talk to the guys more and try to bring
them in closer so we can win some important games.
Speaker 10: I mean, AJ, you are you are so good in
handling press and media, And I know you're gonna tap dance,
but it's my job to ask you. Right, Like season's over,
you're looking forward a little bit. Have you made any
decisions about what is next for a j De Maonta
you want to break on the show?
Speaker 4: No, I haven't. I haven't talked to my mom.
Speaker 7: She's actually not here, so I haven't talked to her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what goes into that decision?
Speaker 4: History, what comes into it her? Whatever she chooses. Has
it always been the case?
Speaker 7: Yeah, She's pretty much been making all decisions in life
for me. She decided where I went to high school.
She she I said I was going to be like you.
She confirmed that by you was good for me. So
she's kind of making.
Speaker 10: Why do you like, why do you choose to do
it that way?
Speaker 7: She just has like a like a nd for things
like she just I mean, she never steered me the
wrong way, doesn't matter what in life. Just if I
ever come to her for some advice or anything, she
never steered me the wrong way. So you know, I
have my all my trusts in her and in the
utmost faith. That's your ma thright, disci for.
Speaker 11: Me, What are some of the pros and cons that
you've been dealing with of either coming back to school
or declaring for the draft.
Speaker 7: Pros and cons. There is no pros and cons. I
didn't make a decision, so yours.
Speaker 10: Whatever mom says, you're you're boo, that's that's where you're
gonna go. Do you know how she wasits the decision?
What does she factory?
Speaker 7: I know that she just she wants me to graduate,
so she might be basing it off of that.
Speaker 4: But you gotta actually, I don't know.
Speaker 10: Do you Do you ever just sit back and think
about what? Like because there's so many variables, right like
from a human elementary right like, you could be in
Utah next year, you could be.
Speaker 2: In some random MBA city.
Speaker 10: Like you ever just sit back and and sort of
think about the fact that so much life could change
in the next three months.
Speaker 7: I mean yeah, Like, I mean, I'm I'm on social media.
I see people putting different jerseys on me, and I
see all the edits, But I mean, I just try
to tune it out because I don't even know what
I'm doing, so I can't really I can't really get
too excited or anything like that until it's a firm decision.
Speaker 11: None of us know what we're doing. She just you know,
peek behind the curtain there. Nobody knows what's going on.
Do you or your mom have a timeline when you
would like to make your decision?
Speaker 7: I think you have to declare by a certain day
if I'm not mistaken, so May first, I think it is.
So I think the decision has to be before May first.
Speaker 10: I haven't what is what is BYU said to you
in this process?
Speaker 7: I mean, they obviously want me to go, you know,
make the best decision. Obviously they want me to come
back play for another year, but also they want all
their players to go accomplish their programs.
Speaker 4: So I guess they wouldn't mind either decision that happens.
Speaker 11: What's the most important factor? And you know you said
that it's your mom's decision to make. What's the most
important factor for her in this decision?
Speaker 7: Like I said, I think she wants me to graduate.
I don't think I know she wants me to graduate college.
So I don't know if she's just basing it off
of yeah, you're gonna stay in school or to graduate,
or she just wants me to to accomplish my Jeames,
who knows?
Speaker 10: So if your mom wants you to stay for four
years and get a.
Speaker 9: Degree at b YU and play basketball the whole.
Speaker 10: Time, you're in for that, Well, you're you're you're committed
to whatever. Okay, dude, this is this is amazing. This
is great insight for us to learn this about you.
So do have you paid any attention knowing that if
your mom's going to come in and really help factor
this decision?
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna stop right there?
Speaker 5: Can I Can I just say something whenever you tell
the person you're interviewing, Oh no, man, this is great.
Speaker 6: We love the insight we're getting. Do you know what
that means?
Speaker 5: That means you, as the interviewer, feel that you may
have offended the person that you're interviewing.
Speaker 6: So no, hey, don't no, no, don't be offended that
we keep asking this.
Speaker 2: Is that top? Oh my goodness.
Speaker 5: I can't tell what was more awkward the fact that
they kept asking or the fact that AJ never really
gave them a straight answer, just just saying I don't
know if it's just because my mom wants me to
follow my dreams or not.
Speaker 6: Like, I think it was kind of awkward on both sides.
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 3: This is Jason Fitzen, Caroline Fenton, Right, Yep, they do
great work.
Speaker 2: I'm being honest.
Speaker 3: This was a miss for a little bit, like this
is a miss they missed bad.
Speaker 2: That was so awkward for you to wrap.
Speaker 3: They keep asking I don't know who's in the back
giving you short but someone saying.
Speaker 2: They like, what is this? When they start giving you
the short answer, you just move off of itsionals. I've
been there before. Here's the question I have once the
NBA Draft lottery, Uh May? Is it after when they
have to declare Uh yes, I'm pretty sure. Okay, all right,
because I don't think it's so yeah, I don't think
it's till May. And the draft is in June because
Aj is in a position where he could pick and choose.
And it is interesting because Sunday money. The family's not
lacking for money. They're good, right right. And you the
picture I'll always have of Aj to bounce It was
I was covering just a semi final game with Hurrican
High School soccer right last year at at Zions Big Park.
It she just showed up and just was there.
Speaker 3: He showed up at at a women's softball event too,
kep talking too.
Speaker 2: He likes the scene, he's comfortable, he does he wasn't
comfortable in that moment though he hasn't moved on right.
To me, it would be unbelievable if he did not declare.
Speaker 3: I mean, when sixty million dollars makes anybody move on,
I think.
Speaker 2: It's still hard for me to believe. But if anyone
was gonna do it.
Speaker 5: No, I just wonder why they keep playing this game, right, Like,
why does it he just say? Okay, you know what,
it was a joke obviously, Like what was the leverage
point that makes you say, I don't know, man, he's
caught up now. The only reason you say that, you
go back to the only reason you do that interview, which,
by the way, why did he do it?
Speaker 2: He's weird today?
Speaker 5: Well, no, no, no, why did he do the interview you
with Deseret News to like drop that bombshell? Not that
they're not a big deal, but like, of all the
places he could have said, I might not go, why
do it there? That's first number two is why what's
your leverage to say? While I might stay like, what
are you hoping that happens?
Speaker 2: I don't think there is anything? And That's what leaves
me to believe maybe it's real, Maybe he is actually
considering coming back. There's no way his mom would say
come back.
Speaker 6: Do you know what?
Speaker 5: Like he just said, from everything he just said, it
sounds like mom makes the decision.
Speaker 6: Because he said shows where he went to heist.
Speaker 2: I am shocked, though, I'm shocked. They obviously like it here,
they right there right, they like the scene, they like
being in Utah. That's the choice. They there's no all
four years, playing for all four years, to play for
all four years. But because he just said that a
mom did that, he not his hand that he played out.
Speaker 5: It be the part that people who are listening couldn't
see it. Couldn't that last? When Jason Fitz's ASKI four years,
he nods his head.
Speaker 3: Man, don't start with me, bro, I just put the
money on the table. But he let's see how much
flash my money I got in the account. I don't
condorse to gamblin, but I'm about to do it. Right,
there's no way he's coming back. Yeah, I don't believe,
and I'm with you, but like, why do this then?
Speaker 5: Why through this interview and not just at some point
go okay, you know what, guys, It was a like
I'm going to.
Speaker 2: Dancy Milan during all this, He's.
Speaker 5: Like, why why do this? What is he trying to
get out of it by saying I don't know?
Speaker 3: But people are believing it, Like you know the people
I keep running into at Costco or all I get church, like, no,
this is not real. You know for a fact, would
you leave sixty million dollars on the table. Darren Peterson
is not gonna be and I'm gonna pick. I'm telling
you right now, I kind of believe that Yegor may
have come back.
Speaker 2: I believe Yegor over a j De Bonds. He's the
number one pick. You don't come back, you don't do it.
But do you want to play against Tyler Branch? I
mean the fact that b W he was done like
it did, like it was first round the NC Double
A tournament, that that might be leaving a void, and hey,
I can come back. I'm comfortable there. National championship won't
get you anything. You can be for NBA championships. Buddy,
make whatever right. But I do believe he will do
whatever mom and Dad tell him to. I do believe
that that I'm not going to disagree with you.
Speaker 3: If that is, if that he that is the pressure
and say that A J will not go against his parents.
Speaker 2: I know that for a fact that I do believe.
And if his parents, if if mom is because A
said same thing, whatever she say, I'm like, what is this?
Like everything about saying and I look and look, I'm
gonna say this.
Speaker 3: Look, I can give some perspective. Had a single parent
for a little bit. Black moms don't play Bro. They
don't play no games.
Speaker 5: Bro.
Speaker 3: I could say about where to go to school. You
know what my mom said, you can go to school.
You have three options. You say, you can get into Kentwood,
or you can go to Urban Prep and all boys school,
you go to military school.
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, she's playing games.
Speaker 3: August, excuse me, dead ass took me to Urban Prep
for tour, took me to Militio. She's not playing games
because I didn't get into Kentwood. So I had to
make a decision. So I'm shed some light Bro and
she ain't playing no games. And if she said come back,
I believe AJ. I just don't believe that she will.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 3: Look, somebody helped AJ Debons's mom get an nil deal,
help hugget something.
Speaker 2: So that way he should take this man out of
school by you will let him get a degree later,
he could do all that class he want.
Speaker 3: Let him go to the league. He's probably going up
with the Kings. That's what it's gonna be. We need
to go to break. But I just thank you Bred
for that time. Don't understand. I wonder why they keep
playing this game. And I also like, as the.
Speaker 5: Journalist out the radio people here, why the why the
belief did they keep asking him? I mean, homegirl, she's
great at her job, Jason, that's crazy though, she goes,
so what factors on my mom? Okay, well I know
you said your mom, but like what other factors? Dude,
he's clearly not playing ball with you? Why you keep
asking him? This guy somebody? Hey, when do you have
to declare hey first? I don't know if he was
me first?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 2: When you have to like, I was weird that somebody
was somebody in the back.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, if I had to take a guest,
don't know this for a fact, I think it would
be Ace because aceb with him always everywhere, pops us
on the stephen A Smith probably like he played no games.
But look, but I do say this, his parents have
his best interest. This is good, this is very good.
Speaker 6: It could be worse.
Speaker 2: It could be worse.
Speaker 3: You could have parents that are nine interestrat and all
or not around and look, they are very on top
of this man saying hey, look, I respect that. I
respect the hell out of both of them. They protecting
the asset as big as it is, and I get it.
But agent will not go against his mom. So I
just don't believe she's gonna say, yeah, fifteen million dollars
probably in a fix it. Nope, that's not happening. I
don't believe that's going to be that way. I think
with how much money Bway you spent this year, you
would have to be somewhere in the ballpark. I just
don't see it happening. I don't think will happen. And
that's okay, that's okay. So but that was Nady Gridy.

by my side, Ronald the three Man. We were also
in the house and we're gonna get into some questions
and polls of the day here in this segment. And
I guess the lessons learned from Camp Kolani twenty twenty
six is what we've been broaching as we finish up
Camp Kolani twenty twenty six springball. We broached some of
these topics yesterday in our interviews, etc. But Gurney, I'm
gonna hand the mic over to you. What did you
actually learn about bo football in spring twenty twenty six
Camp Killane.
Speaker 2: I've learned that the depth on this team is better
than I think any spring football team I've ever covered.
Speaker 6: It's it's it's a hot take.
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example. We've been kind of obsessing
about the defense, right, yeah, and there's so many oh yeah,
that guy, he's good type players that you just forget
about what is sessing the too deep? And I'll give
you an example, Hunter Clegg. Right, we've all been about
telcy Leia Khanna and I talked about this previously and
Lucy Toamoipeo and all that. Hunter Cleke' saw a lot
of reps And I like, how Kelly poppinga just kind
of snuck it in. Yeah, he's one of the leaders
in our linebacker room. He said linebacker, right, It's like,
oh yeah, that guy, he's four star recruit transferred from Utah,
saw a lot of reps. Yeah, yeah, he's good. But
there's guys like that all over the place on this defense.
It's flush with talent. That front seven is tremendous. I
think I have some depth concerns with the cornerback position
in particular, front safeties are fantastic. Beyond that, maybe a
little less question verus than cornerbacks. But man, that front
seven is going to be as good as any print
seven I've ever covered at BWAY. I am absolutely convinced
of that. Do ton of Oas is going to be
very good, and it's going to be afforded to him
because that defensive tackle position, there's just gonna be a
lot more to supplement his play where he can make
plays right, He's not having to two gap and just
hold that middle, which it's not really his thing. He's
a one gap or type guy, so you just beare
him with a Justin Kirkland that can take up box
and all that. He's going to be wrecking some things
this year. Body screwed over very high on him. But yeah,
to me, it's about the defense. I think it's going
to be tremendous. Offense looks fine, but to me, defense
is going to be the calling card of this BWA
football team. That's going to be the leaders, that's going
to be the one setting the tone. That's where the
most of the talent is. In my opinion, it's defense. Defense, defense,
And I know a lot of Beway Now you want
to sing in arount now, defense is what Bway is
going to be about. And that's kind of what Bway
he's been about for a while now. I mean, the
office has been good, ay Ron has done a good
job and all that, But this defense, I think, as
far as death and overall talent is as good as
I've ever seen in provo.
Speaker 6: So let me ask you this.
Speaker 8: Count of Tonavasa mentioned yesterday at the Cougar Club luncheon
that this team is more talented than last year's team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you agree with that absolutely, because the guys that
are returning, they're elevated, they're more talented, they're better than
they were last year. At least you expect that it'd
be a really big biff of one of those guys
were't as good as they were last year, and a
lot of them were young. We've all said the coaches
say it all the time. The biggest improvement coach between
your first year you play and your second year. There's
a lot of second year guys on this BA football team,
a lot of guys that played a lot last year,
even a guy like Body schoon Over. I kind of
consider him a second year guy because it was only
this past year where he found his position. It was
able to click Raider to Mooney. I think this is
pretty much the second year. Really, Raider to Mooney is
a very underrated component to this defense. He was really
good when he came in and I covered a lot
of Raider to Mooney in high school. He made plays,
he understood how to make plays and all that. It's
taken him a wild alert safety and guess what, guy,
safety is not easy to learn. There's a lot of nuances,
there's a lot of angles, there's a lot of things
you have to do. It clicked with Rader last year
and he said as much in an interview. And when
he's able to pair just that innate knowledge with his
natural playmaking ability, I've known everyone's about follow up. Faulla
Towel's out to Wala and he's tremendous. He's fantastic. But
I'm telling you, Raider the Mooney's going to be really,
really good for this bway defense this coming year, he's
gonna be paired with falla twel and it's just kind
of you just pick and choose positions. I'm a kibe.
Speaker 8: To me.
Speaker 2: The most significant statement about a defensive player this spring
came from Aaron Roderick when he says, Wow, Labi's making
plays every day every I mean, when Kelly says something
about defense, it's notable, right, Yeah, you take for But
when Aaron Roderick says something about a defensive player, that's
when you really take notice.
Speaker 6: He's gonna be really good.
Speaker 2: And sorry, I'm really excited about this way you defense
right now. There's a lot of parts. I think there's
at least twenty guys that you can shuttle in and
out not miss a beat pair according to situation, what
the opponent does is gonna be able to be variable.
They're gonna be able to do a lot of things.
And I can't see this not developing into one of
the more dominant defenses I've ever seen. Away.
Speaker 8: I think it's gonna be a top twenty five defense,
There's no doubt about it. I mean, we've had some
great defenses over the years. The Bronco era had some
great defenses. Obviously six O seven very good. O nine
was solid, very very good defense. Twenty twelve was markedly
like I mean, with the talent level, the NFL talent level,
you know that every one game that they wanted soon
that year was built off of the defensive efficiency and
defensive effectiveness.
Speaker 2: Can I make a hot statement that I just thought
of right now, The most indispensable guy on this BWAYU
defense next year, I'm tagging this right now.
Speaker 6: I'm tagging it is Evan Johnson. Evan Johnson's nice.
Speaker 2: Evan Johnson is the most indispensable player on this BWAYU defense,
just because I think he's gonna ride to the point where,
all right, you got your side of the field, we
don't have to worry, lock it down whatver, right, and
then he kind of makes the coverage. I think that's
what you're gonna see. He's that good and you can't
replace that with anyone on the roster. I mean, I
think Trey Alexander is gonna be good.
Speaker 6: No one is.
Speaker 8: He's gonna be good, but but not like Evan j
No one is as good as Evan Johnson.
Speaker 2: I am declaring here on April, what is a third,
April third, Johnson schmav is the most indispensable player on
this entire bway defense.
Speaker 8: Agree or disagree, man, I do want to agree with
you because as a cornerback, I'm I have a little
bit of bias, and I know, like how difficult it's
the most physically athletically, it's the most difficult to cover
space and run with people. You're running backwards and you're
having to adjust to the individuals, especially when you're a
lockdown corner and you run like a ten to four
one hundred meter He's a legitimate four three guy with
hip mobility like Mariy Bomba is a four to three guy,
four to two guy right, but he doesn't have the
hip mobility, you know, the change of direction and the
ball or the ball skills that Evan Johnson has. So
it is something that bou rarely gets and and quite honestly,
most programs don't have a true lockdown corner. Everyone thinks
they like by U fans think everyone does, but they don't.
Speaker 6: They don't.
Speaker 8: Guys like does does BYU traditionally have a bunch of
great NFL wide receivers. No, but you see them get
behind big twelve defenses all the time. Shake and bakm,
you know, cross them up, get behind them. You're like, oh,
you don't necessarily project as a BOU fan like that.
These guys have that. You think they have lockdown corners,
but they don't.
Speaker 2: You know, it's about Utah because Utah a lot of
years seem to have that lockdown corner day And I
think that's the perception.
Speaker 8: They hold so much. I know, I mean, they don't
get called for defensive hold. They defensive holding, oh for sure,
tug pole release, tug pole release.
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you that that's what's feeding that percent maybe. Yeah, yeah,
that's what I believe.
Speaker 8: So I think to a degree, you are correct for
those things that we just mentioned, for those elements they
just mentioned you all, but you have to realize, like
BYU can't be as good as they can be without
great defensive tackle play. Yeah, and so like John tell
My Payu last year, he's one of the most underrated guys,
like Tanner Walls underrated. And there's no doubt Jack Kelly
was really, really good. Isaiah Glasker had a little bit
of a drop because he was injured. But John tell
My Payu, which I think Keanu's gonna be better this year.
He had a little He wasn't as good as he
needed to be last year. He was only good at times.
John tell my pay was like the silver bag gorilla
like that that we needed.
Speaker 6: He was penetrated.
Speaker 2: He was he was.
Speaker 8: Receiving doubles and holding the line, hold the line like
he was pretty gosh, Dan dominant and he's gonna get
an opportunity in the NFL because of it. He tested well, Yeah,
it's a great film. Remembers at Big twelve media days
last year was like I was like, who stood out
to me? He's like John t I pay you, John Time,
I pay you. It was all like John we heard
it time and time again, and then we saw it.
We saw it like I don't think Belia's defense is
nearly as good as it was last year unless you
have John Johnifer because it all starts with stopping the run.
Speaker 6: And so like I lean.
Speaker 8: Towards like it's a it's a it's a dead heat
between Countavasa and Evan Johnson for me this year, That's
kind of how I'm feeling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that interior is going to be important. I think
a Nisi Percell is going to be really good this year,
like two armed Percell not one at the club and Supers.
The fact that they played him with just one arm,
I think says a lot about just how good he
is now good he can be. I think Body Schoonover's
maybe pois for a breakout year, and I see Body
Moore as an interior guy than an outside gay. Maybe
I'm wrong on that. I don't know, but I see
him playing more of that interior aye that three tech
That's kind of how I see him. I don't know
if you agree with that or not, but yeah, I
I mean last year was count Atana loss it that
was your most indispensable defensive player in my opinion, maybe
it was John Talmoypeo. I like what you're feeding me
about John tow Mary Peyo. But to me, this year,
I think there's enough death and I'm believing in the
resurgence of Justin Kirkland. I believe it. We'll see if
it if it's true or not. But to me, the
death at the defensive tackle is just better than it
is a cornerback right now, and that's why I'm leaning
toward Evan Johnson.
Speaker 8: Anything else that you learned about the Bay Cougar football
team during Camp Killiney twenty twenty six.
Speaker 6: They do you want to make note of it?
Speaker 2: Well, I think one of the best stories is that's
a tremendous story. I don't think fans will ever understand
how extraordinary and how rare LJ. Martin's performance was last
year to take that much of the load and hardly
miss a beat. Yes, he missed most of the Iowa
State game, but other than that, to be able to
do what he did, to take that kind of load
and end the season, and of course he didn't play
the bowl game. But even without those two things, he's
not gonna be able to do. You just can't give
that type of workload again to LG. Martin. Yeah, do
your thing and you're gonna be fine and give us
what you did last year. Could he do Yeah, he
could do it, but I'm not banking on that. Plus,
I think with taking reps, it's gonna make LG. Martin
that much better, right, He's not getting It's hard, man.
You're taking every reps of running back, taking hits twenty
plus touches a game, plus you're blocking. He took on
so much last year. One of the best running back
seasons ever for Bway running back, I think you could
argue was the best, right, he did extraordinary things and
but that low taking off of him and they say
Cione's back. That's a big, big, big development for this team.
And I think it's underrated because I think fans are
just saying, oh, yeah, that'll be nice. Yeah, LJ will
just do what he does. Nice to have. No they
need they need that second back. Last year was not
the rule, it was the exception of the rule. The
rule's probably going to come back into play, and I
don't think Vans will realize that because soon Mo is
gonna be able to be take ten touches away from LJ.
Hope it sounds like he is, and it's gonna be tremendous. Plus,
it's just a great story because he's a great kid,
went through a lot last year. The fact that he's
able to come back, I think it's just a beautiful thing.
It's something you love to see as a reporter. It's
something you want to cover. Why haven't I interviewed se
only MOOWI yet this spring? Thought I was gonna why
have I not done that? Such story reprimand you on
incastigate you on. Yeah, that's on live radio. Yeah, that's
not good for him by the g man right there.
So anyway, I know we gotta go to break. But
there you go. That those are my thoughts. I love it.
Speaker 6: Great stuff there with our question and poll of the day.
Speaker 8: Uh, what did you learn cogredation about this Cougar football

g Man loves most. But I'm gonna ask him a
very difficult question in this segment. Who's your favorite all
time twelve personnel two tight end lineup for BYU football.
You're gonna have to search, You're gonna have to You're
gonna have to ponder. You're gonna have to pray about this.
GMN not gonna about it all right, you may have
to pray about it.
Speaker 2: I thought about it for all of one minute.
Speaker 6: Right, Well, I'll give you a few of uh, you know,
the the favorites here.
Speaker 2: I think I have my answer, but go ahead.
Speaker 6: You already have your answer, I think so really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but go ahead, I mean, come on now,
maybe maybe I'll end up my answer on the fly.
Speaker 6: Well, this is the thing.
Speaker 2: I think, there's so many good options.
Speaker 8: We are. We are subject to recency bias, and I
think you above above everybody is subject to it.
Speaker 6: I feel like everybody above everybody.
Speaker 8: Well, you don't know my answer, then you're aren't you
a recentcy bias guy?
Speaker 2: I'm offended by this.
Speaker 8: I'm kidding, are you Are you gonna go eighties on me?
Are you gonna go nineties? Are you gonna go two thousand?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 8: I don't want your answer yet. I'm trying to prep
everyone for this, you know what I mean? Who who
played alongside the likes of like, who's the greatest all
time tight end in bwave football history?
Speaker 6: Who's the greatest all time tight end?
Speaker 2: It could be Gordon Hudson.
Speaker 8: It's Gordon Hudson nineteen eighty one to eighty three, right, yeah?
Was there anybody that played with him? Alongside him? With
twelve personnel at that time? Though, a lot of times
you get these one off tight ends that are just glorious, amazing.
But who's the robin to the batman, you know what
I mean, who's the peanut butter to the jelly.
Speaker 2: I think the second tight end you'd have to go
I would be Dennis pitt I think Dennis Pitt is.
Speaker 6: It's number two all time in BYU football history, right.
Speaker 2: Dennis was so good, so good, like back in the day.
I think I said this before on air, but we
used to be able to watch practices, yes, and usually
the offense is given the script and you're trying to
do things and all that, and there were some many
prices I'd watch for Max Is trying to get outside
the offense, and then the defense like yeah, we're getting it,
and like, all right, Dennis been at an option route.
You guys are done, and boom boom bob score score.
There were so many practices like that. You were probably
part of those practices.
Speaker 8: Right, I mean I never got beat by anybody, so
I don't know. I never got beat, remember beat by
Dennis or Austin. But unless the offensive p iu and
this should have been flying. I did get beat once
upon a time by Johnny Harley, and I was right
there to make the play. And uh, you know, I
was not able to to make the play, but I
was right there to make play and he ended it
like I was.
Speaker 6: He was literally dragging me. I was I there like
I I.
Speaker 8: Got the football I was hanging on to and he's
just like dragging me like this, like with both hands.
And then I kindly like he was kicking me, you know,
like with the heel, you know, and he got me off.
But the mongoose, Yeah, I mean, I don't know what
it was, but I mean, what would you take a
cleat to like the ab few times, you know what
I mean, you tend to let go of things.
Speaker 2: But seriously, so many times during practices it's like, okay,
that was this stuff. We're going option around, Dennis Pitta,
do your thing to touchdown? Touchdown. Yeah. So Dennis Pitta,
to me's number two. The most underrated guy I believe
is Daniel Coates.
Speaker 8: Really that that plus he bothd he was really able
to block. He was one of the best blocking tight
ends and that's what I need for my twelve personnel.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll due respect to Dennis. Probably not the most dominant,
but that's why I'm pairing him with. I can't comment
on Gordon Hudson's blocking ability because I really have no idea.
I just know he's a great receiving tight end. But
but give me a blocker with a receiver. And that's
why I like Daniel Coates paired with Dennis Pitta or
Gordon Hudson.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's my twelve personnel right there.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 8: Another like underrated tight end that I don't I don't
know who his his thunder was his lightning, right his
peanut butter to the jelly, et cetera.
Speaker 6: Chris Smith. Yeah, Chris Smith was really good, really good
Byron Rex. Who was his You know who was this
thunder to the lightning? At any rate?
Speaker 8: You know some of the favorites in the modern Aary Tulameili,
Chad Lewis, Doug Jolly, Spencer died and underrated duo in
one could bring it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's your blocker one hundred percent.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you had your flex in your in line, Johnny Harlen,
Dan Coats, Dennis Pitta, Andrew George Carson.
Speaker 2: Ryan belongs, but he didn't.
Speaker 8: But he didn't have the Once again, like the problem
with this twelve personnel, two tight end lineup is who's
your who's the peanut butter, who's the jelly, who's the thunder,
Who's the who's the Robin and batman? Like you, sometimes
you're a solo guy. And that's maybe what Gordon Hudson was.
Speaker 2: Oh, for sure, b Way, you didn't get out of
formation back in the eighties. You were a pro style fullback.
Speaker 6: It was more eleven personnel or it was twenty one person.
Speaker 2: It was twenty one personnel, one tight end. Yeah, that's
what you saw. Yeah, b Way, he was almost always
two running backs.
Speaker 6: Two running back, YEP, sprint and draw. Yeah, you had
a lot of that was a fixture back in the day.
Speaker 2: You're right, And so.
Speaker 8: In the modern era, though, you know, you have like
Isaac Rex Mason Wake. Mason Wake was on track before
his injury to becoming a tight end fullback in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Like he was.
Speaker 6: He was on track.
Speaker 8: Some injuries derailed him, concussions, et cetera, but he was.
He was pretty nice. And Isaac before his injuries also
was on track. So anybody else that we should include,
though I know are missing some guys. It's just in
the modern area, you know what I mean. But it's like, yeah,
Tafito Fin Galway, who was really good in his era, Well, yeah,
I said, yeah.
Speaker 2: I said, Chad Lewis, I'm done including Chad Lewis. That
seems like a yeah, what the age is wrong with you? Well,
Chad Lewis, Dennis Pitta, I think those were kind of
the same type of guy. Andrew George would be that
guy as well. That's why I think Roger Sally Bond
is going to be for this Bay football Team's gonna
be Good's.
Speaker 6: Gonna be Do you consider Neil Powell a tight end?
Speaker 2: He's a winder right, kind of.
Speaker 6: More of a wide receiver man. He was really good,
very good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Neil did some good.
Speaker 8: Great player, fantastic player. But he's a big wide receiver, right,
and he's.
Speaker 2: Gonna have some good combinations coming down. Ryan Ryder Swanson
and Brock Harris. How nice is that gonna be? Yep,
that's gonna be really really nice. How do you take
either of those guys off the field, like you ever?
Speaker 8: You know who the thunder to Gordon Hudson's lightning was
David Mills.
Speaker 6: Oh, David Mills was good. David Mills, he was really good,
really good.
Speaker 8: But he didn't get any freaking reps because Gordon Hudson
was taken.
Speaker 6: He got one year where he had a lot over
a thousand yards.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he had one year after Gordon Hudson
left in ear He just brought it. He was really,
really good.
Speaker 6: I think the Gordon Hudson David Mills combo is one
of the best.
Speaker 2: That's tremendous right there, You know what I mean? Clay
Brown deserves mentioned. Clay Brown absolutely deserves mentioned for far
more than catching the miracle touchdown. He was a really
good player as well.
Speaker 8: So do you have a favorite my favorite Gordon Hudson
just because he's your favorite all time, But who's your favorite?
Thunder lightning peanut butter Jelly?
Speaker 2: I told you I'm going Daniel's and Dennis Pitta.
Speaker 6: Well, Dan Coates and Dennis Pitta didn't play together.
Speaker 2: Oh so they have to I can't pair them, Okay,
I totally misunderstood the question. Well, that is that is
Chad Lewis to Ameile, Chad loose to Lameile. That's my pair,
that's your pair. That's where I'm going. Chad Lewis Chad
Lewis to me, give give me a better pair two
NFL talent tight ends to LAMI was a fantastic but
he could really bring it. Chad Lewis one of the
best receiving tight ends ever. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going Chad
Loose and a Tome. If that's the question. If you're
so narrow I cannot bringe out and you can't combine
like okay, then is easy then to Lameili Chad Lewis.
Every other answer is wrong. That is the correct answer. Sorry,
I'm not taking any other applications. I'm not I'm not
doing no more, no more.
Speaker 6: No more, no moss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of want to go Daniel Coats Johnny
Hurling because that was really good. That was a really
good combination. But to me, it's still Chad Lose it too.
I like it.
Speaker 6: I'm going Johnny Harlen, Sam Coach. Baby.
Speaker 2: See this is just players.
Speaker 8: I could go Dennis Pitta Andrew George too underrated, underrated
as Andrew George and he he, but I still.
Speaker 2: Need a guy that can just lay it down right.
Speaker 8: Andrew George was a phenomenal blocker, great inline blocker.
Speaker 6: I saw more as a split out game he was
a good combo.
Speaker 2: He was a good flex. I mean he was really good.
I mean I don't want to see Dennis.
Speaker 8: And Andrew were like a really good combo of like
like they were both inline and both flex. So that
there's a reason why from seven to nine b YU
won eleven, ten and eleven games.
Speaker 6: I mean it was helpful. It was helpful to have
those two guys on the field.
Speaker 2: Were all times.
Speaker 6: You know, I just the piece about twelve personnel you did. Yeah,
I knew it.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 8: I knew it.
Speaker 2: I did a column every time I see Andrew Gentry.
I think that's b way you football, right. Give me
the twenty five to twenty six year olds that are
just pounding everything in line, dominant tight ends, twelve personnel, bom,
go play to your strengths. How many times I said
on this program anyway, I thought to put it on paper, finaling.
That's what I wrote about yesterday.
