out to the hotline. Welcome at Cougar Sports Insider. He's

00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:55,719

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:57,319
Speaker 4: Yo?

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:57,719
Speaker 5: Man?

42
00:01:57,799 --> 00:01:59,799
Speaker 4: I would be doing better if we were playing this weekend.

43
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:00,959
I think we should see.

44
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:05,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you wanted to you want to be in the playoff.

45
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,159
Speaker 2: I understand that, Brandon, I know you feel that b

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,960
YU has been shafted, and like, how do you feel

47
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,960
like kugarnation he's doing right now after kind of getting

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,879
the short end of the stick as it pertains to

49
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:17,599
the committee.

50
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,319
Speaker 4: I think we're probably over it, and we probably should

51
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:24,439
have expected it, but I'm still sad. I think I

52
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:26,360
think it's gonna be harder. I've got over it for

53
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,960
the first two weeks, and I think now that games

54
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,360
are actually happening this week, I think I'm is when

55
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,879
I'm gonna gonna hurt sing the most.

56
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, how how is by How are b

57
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:39,719
YU fans reacting to the fact that Jake Retzlof is

58
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:41,439
in the playoff and b YU is not.

59
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 4: I think it depends on where you talk about it.

60
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,520
I am pretty self proclaimed Jake lovers. Still I'm I

61
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,360
think it's awesome that he's still there. I think he's

62
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,800
a great quarterback that I'm excited for him to be there. Obviously,

63
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,000
I wish that we were there also, But I think

64
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:01,159
there are certain people who are not very happy in

65
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Kugernation that we didn't make it and he did.

66
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: The future is bright for BYU football despite not getting

67
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:12,159
into the College Football Playoff. The last two years, we've

68
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:16,280
been knocking on the door, and they wouldn't let us in. Okay,

69
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,280
even though the metrics heavily favored the objective analysis, the

70
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,159
pure data was in BYU's corner.

71
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:26,439
Speaker 3: Okay, So the subjective human element.

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,719
Speaker 2: The corrupt cabal, the cartel of college football, said no,

73
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:34,400
not today, not today, Brigham, Not today Brigham.

74
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: But the future is bright, and.

75
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,319
Speaker 2: I feel like there's gonna be great retention this offseason

76
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:45,840
on the roster. I think LJ is coming back. I

77
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:49,400
think Bear is coming back. Still to be determined what

78
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:52,639
happens with IG, but I feel like IG is coming back.

79
00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:53,479
Speaker 3: How much of those that.

80
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: Have have ultimately exhausted their eligibility, they can't come back

81
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,039
and unless they have some sort of Juco experience, Right,

82
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:05,240
But I think you're gonna retain a lot of guys

83
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,759
and then go acquire some good gap fillers, right, filling

84
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,400
devoid of guys that that may be left to the NFL,

85
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,279
and you're gonna be right back into the mix of

86
00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:19,600
it once again in twenty twenty six.

87
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

88
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,399
Speaker 4: And I think the thing that it's hurt is I

89
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:25,839
remember last year, maybe out of this time, but early

90
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:28,120
spring we were talking about how you know this year

91
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,079
it'll be different because they're gonna finally get the respect

92
00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:33,319
of the of the rankings. We'll have preseason rankings and everything,

93
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,480
and obviously all the stuff Jakes that happened, But I

94
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,560
really do think I don't think we can count on

95
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,759
that happening two years in a row, hopefully, so I

96
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:41,519
think I think that's one of the things that I'm

97
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:44,279
really excited about is that next year, with every with

98
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:47,120
the returning talent, having Bear going from being a freshman

99
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,800
to a sophomore, which is usually when they make the

100
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,480
biggest jump, I think we're going to get quite a

101
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:54,680
bit of preseason respect, which sets us up a lot

102
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,399
better than we were this year. I really think if

103
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,759
if we start in the top if we start in

104
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:02,560
the top up fifteen, then we end up getting in

105
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,680
the playoffs no matter what.

106
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: This year with our resume, no doubt about it.

107
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,639
Speaker 2: Uh, what is it that b YU needs in the

108
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:10,800
portal of this offseason?

109
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: Do you think?

110
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: What do you think they will go out and try

111
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,360
to acquire? Obviously you had a four star tight end.

112
00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:19,839
You're looking at you like, hey, Carson Ryan is leaving,

113
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:21,240
why don't we go pick up Walker?

114
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: Lions, what else it's on the dock and what else

115
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:24,240
is on the menu?

116
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think obviously we I hope we

117
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,879
get both Walker Lions and oh, I can't thing of

118
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:32,639
the how Lafo is that.

119
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,439
Speaker 3: His name from La Foule? Yep, yep.

120
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:38,959
Speaker 4: So I think I think those two. I really hope we.

121
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,079
I think we're gonna need to get a running back.

122
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,600
I think the Dye Kid from Sue You as an

123
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,560
option there. I think we probably will get look at

124
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,639
two hopefully, And then I think deepens the line. We're

125
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,360
gonna need to, you know, keep stacking that because I

126
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,439
don't think that the rooms deep it up. I think

127
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,399
you have Kirklindon and oh my goodness Town it make

128
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,439
John's right. So having Giano and kirkland back, if they're

129
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:09,800
both decide that they're gonna come back and play, I

130
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,560
think that's gonna be a spot that's a little more

131
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,800
depth there with them, But honestly, behind them, there's just

132
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:17,399
not anything proven. And so I think that the d

133
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:19,319
line is the spot that I'm the most worried about

134
00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:20,800
and that I think we need to go after. In

135
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,079
the portal that I haven't heard too much about that

136
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:26,560
we actually like what we're gonna do there and haven't

137
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,920
seen any rumors really happen. Who we're gonna try and

138
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:29,480
get out of there.

139
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,759
Speaker 2: I'm intrigued to see what they go out and try

140
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,040
to require no doubt. You know, last year, you wonder

141
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,279
if you were two pole, all the players, all the

142
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,040
players that entered the portal and left BYU and we're

143
00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:48,120
talking about probadent Keeling, Harrison. Right, you go down that

144
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,319
list of transfer portal players, how many of them regret

145
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:55,199
leaving Kru Wakelee, How many of them wish they would

146
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:57,680
have stuck around b Yu. What do you think?

147
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: I'm guessings like Crewe who maybe didn't do as well

148
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,079
as they thought they were going to do outside of

149
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,600
the way. I think you got Crew, maybe even Harrison Taggard.

150
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,519
Our guys probably wish they would have stayed. But I

151
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:12,720
think obviously like get guys like Keeling and Jake are

152
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,560
gonna say that. I mean, Jake kind of got Jack

153
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,079
didn't have a choice, but let's just say he did

154
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:17,600
have a choice. I think both of them are happy

155
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,879
with their situations. They're both in the playoffs, but I

156
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,079
think overall, if they weren't getting the time they wanted.

157
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:26,920
I don't know. I didn't follow really anybody outside of

158
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,079
those four super closely, but I think.

159
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,399
Speaker 2: I think we lost Brayden. Braidon's still there, buddy, I

160
00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:39,800
think I lost you there for a second.

161
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, sorry about that. Yeah, I honestly think it's just

162
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,879
I think it depends on how much they got playing

163
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,240
time they got out of that situation.

164
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Harrison, Josh Singh is an interesting study. You went

165
00:07:52,399 --> 00:07:54,160
to Vanderbilt, played well there.

166
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: You wonder how.

167
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: Much rotation he would have been in on that interior

168
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:58,639
defensive line.

169
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,079
Speaker 3: I think if he.

170
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,439
Speaker 2: Started for Vandy this last year or at least be

171
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,319
in that two D rotation, you imagine he would have

172
00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:07,199
been in the two DP rotation at BYU. But he

173
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:11,040
probably got paid a little bit more there at Vandy.

174
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,639
Speaker 3: So I wonder, you know, when it does shuttles.

175
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: And because these guys talk, right, anybody that's an all

176
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:23,720
flirtatious that's currently on the roster, okay, that has has

177
00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:25,439
a good friendship with those guys.

178
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: That left, they're calling them. They're asking, hey, what has

179
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,040
it been.

180
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,759
Speaker 2: Like for you? You know, what was the approximate pay? What

181
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,639
what is the market rate? And they have agents as

182
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:36,480
well that are out trying to field these calls and

183
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,240
field these numbers and try to figure it out. You

184
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,039
wonder how many of them are saying, Hey, I wish

185
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,799
I would have stayed at BYU, And I think a

186
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:45,600
lot of them would actually say, hey, I would have

187
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:47,399
I would have liked to. I think Keelan would have

188
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,000
liked to stayed at b YU. At by you've been

189
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,679
able to, you know, maybe up the ante at that time.

190
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,679
I think we're in a different spot now though than

191
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:57,440
we were even a year ago now with revs share right,

192
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:03,080
So when you get into these competitive maybe bidding battles now,

193
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:04,399
Buy's probably.

194
00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 3: Built a little bit different to be able to retain

195
00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:06,480
some of these guys.

196
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I honestly think that's the you know, I'll

197
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,960
hear BYU fans say things complaining about the portals were

198
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,279
in college football or nil you know, REP shares ruining

199
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:18,600
college football. But I just don't know how you can

200
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,399
look at it and say that as a YU fan.

201
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,879
Obviously from the maybe overall college football you can say that.

202
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,559
But we're in a spot that it's it's leveling the

203
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,600
playing field for it and obviously getting it in the

204
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,960
spots now where we're able to compete and getting us

205
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,080
into these But like you said, I think with Kilaney

206
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:38,600
like him being retained that type of coach of the

207
00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:41,240
coach that you don't lose people to the portal unless

208
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,600
you're kind of telling them, hey, the playing time isn't

209
00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:46,799
going to happen unless the money isn't there. And obviously

210
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,200
with some of the renegotiations rep share happening, like, I

211
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,000
don't think the money is going to be an issue

212
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,600
if we want the guys bad enough. Obviously there's gonna

213
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,320
be guys who maybe want to get paid a little

214
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,919
more and we're just not worth it for us valuation wise.

215
00:09:59,279 --> 00:09:59,879
Speaker 6: But I really do.

216
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 4: I think we're just spont where we're gonna keep people

217
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,919
we want to keep. Like I think Bear could have

218
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:06,519
gotten offered from everywhere. I think we have the ability

219
00:10:06,519 --> 00:10:08,519
and resources to go to keep him.

220
00:10:08,519 --> 00:10:08,879
Speaker 1: And I think he.

221
00:10:08,919 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 4: Fit's offense so well that they're they're gonna put the

222
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,600
money out there to keep him.

223
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,879
Speaker 3: It's transfer portal season.

224
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: Uh, And I wonder since the transfer portal became a thing, Braden,

225
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,159
I know you you monitor recruiting. Obviously, you know this

226
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:28,960
team better than just about anybody monitoring the roster of

227
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,720
the productivity, et cetera. Do you have an all time well,

228
00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:37,159
I guess a modern day favorite transfer portal player that

229
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,320
came to BYU because you mentioned it, Like, hey, be

230
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,080
you guys benefited from the transfer portal.

231
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: How could you hate the transfer portal.

232
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: When you've benefited so greatly from it and you just

233
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:48,200
had two consecutive years going to eleven and two with

234
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,720
an opportunity to be twelve and two doing something you

235
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:53,240
haven't done in twenty four years.

236
00:10:53,759 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to think that's a that's a tough

237
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,200
question to choose because there's not a lot of good

238
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,159
ones honestly, Like, I think Baron Jak are both Transfer

239
00:11:02,159 --> 00:11:04,559
Portal guys, and I think they've both been huge for

240
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:08,080
the program. I think guys like Jack Kelly. Jack Kelly

241
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,399
is a huge one. Gianna Tomasa, like, there's a there's

242
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,320
a ton of really really good talent we brought in

243
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,919
that's changed the game for us. On on that sut side,

244
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,480
I think, you know, almost all of our tackles over

245
00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:24,480
the last few years have all been transfer products. Like, like,

246
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,440
the Transfer Portal has been good to it. If I

247
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,720
had to pick one. I'd probably be bear just because of

248
00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:30,320
the upside because we got up so early in the

249
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,759
transfer portal and how good he did this year and

250
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:36,200
the upside of where he take the team. But it's

251
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,320
been good overall for us. It's really good for us.

252
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,879
Speaker 2: You mentioned Jack, right, and and uh, I was like,

253
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,200
we've benefited from Weber State. Two of our best defensive

254
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,960
players over the last few years have been Weber State

255
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:55,399
transfers Eddie Heckerd and Jack Kelly. Shoot what about yeah? Yeah,

256
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:59,919
Mark Collins really good football player. So you see that

257
00:12:00,039 --> 00:12:02,200
and you're like, wait, oh, man, the the you know

258
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:05,600
you you mentioned uh, you know these guys that come

259
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:08,799
in and you're like, man like, uh, you know Kingsley

260
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:11,320
Sulmatiya also from Oregon.

261
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 3: Right. You look at the tackles.

262
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: That have come into b YU. It seems year and

263
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:18,600
and you're out. It seems like they're they're transfer players.

264
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 4: Yep. Yeah, Isaiah Jahanna, You've got at Kingsley like a

265
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:29,720
lot of and obviously this year you had Andrew Gentry.

266
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,720
Like honestly, all of our tackles over the last few years,

267
00:12:33,159 --> 00:12:35,519
almost all of them have been transfer products.

268
00:12:36,159 --> 00:12:44,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just uh, yeah, Pooka Nakula Pooka Nakua twenty

269
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:51,480
twenty one came from Washington, Yep. Samson Koua, Jacob Robinson,

270
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,240
Jacob Robinson came from Utah State.

271
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: True, it's true, like it it's benefited. Well, that's what

272
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:00,799
I'm saying.

273
00:13:00,799 --> 00:13:01,159
Speaker 5: I don't know.

274
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,799
Speaker 4: I'd never understand when dau fans complain about the portal

275
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,720
herding college football, Like, yes, maybe as a whole, but

276
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,960
for BAU it has been such a net positive, such

277
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,799
and that positive for us.

278
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:13,519
Speaker 3: Agreed.

279
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: We got Braton Day Brandon, CEO of Odeon Men's were

280
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:19,200
what deals do we have for our fans our listeners

281
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:19,600
right now?

282
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: They're at Odeon Men's Worth.

283
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:21,919
Speaker 5: Yeah.

284
00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: So we've got a couple of things going on in

285
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,480
our Orange store. We have clearance items, so we're just

286
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,799
trying to get out by the end of the year.

287
00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:30,360
There are some crazy deals there. Boy suits starting at

288
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,960
forty five dollars. We have our men's suits for one

289
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,639
hundred dollars and men's sports Code for seventy five bucks.

290
00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:41,120
They're honestly still great product. They're just stuff we've had

291
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,759
over inventory we're trying to clear out. So that's a

292
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:46,519
great thing. And then obviously for full price stuff, we're

293
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:50,039
doing twenty percent off gift cards. So that's a great

294
00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:51,840
way to be able to get a gift for someone

295
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,200
in your life that you want to be able to

296
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,480
give the gift of confidence, but you don't know, you're

297
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,879
not confident in what their size is. You can get

298
00:13:57,879 --> 00:13:59,440
them a gift card and that's a great way for

299
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:01,039
them to be able to come back in and pick

300
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,519
out what they want, to find the right fit for them,

301
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,120
find the right colors for them, and do that all later.

302
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,799
So twenty percent off gift cards from now until the

303
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:08,279
end of the year.

304
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: Love that deal.

305
00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: What else has been on your minds as a fan,

306
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,000
as an insider.

307
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: There in the Cougar sports world?

308
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,799
Speaker 2: What else have you been delving into as we get

309
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,000
prep get ready for the pop Tarts Ball.

310
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,639
Speaker 4: I think the thing I've been just thinking a lot about, honestly,

311
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:27,600
is just kind of a transport like stuff we talked about,

312
00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:33,039
but also looking at with the recruiting process mixed with

313
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,720
transfer portal like. I know I've listened to some of

314
00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:37,000
your interviews with Anything. It was showing back a few

315
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,320
days ago you were talking about how he was talking

316
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,200
about how the recruiting classes, Like, yes, they can be stacked. Really,

317
00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:43,960
it's still kind of a year to year thing and

318
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,960
how being where BAU is and what they've been doing

319
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,360
and it set them up for good recruiting. But then

320
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,440
if those recruits don't work out, then they obviously move

321
00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:54,879
somewhere else. But at the same time, with recruits, if

322
00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:57,200
we don't hit on recruits, we've been pretty good at

323
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,320
getting those guys to come back around to us after.

324
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,879
I think the trajectory of the program has just been

325
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:04,080
an all time high right now, and it's just been

326
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,240
so excited to kind of you that trying to kind

327
00:15:06,279 --> 00:15:08,840
of probably some copium there to try and get over

328
00:15:08,879 --> 00:15:10,240
the fact that we didn't make it the playoffs.

329
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: How often do you take copium every day? Oh?

330
00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: Man?

331
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: Well? Uh great?

332
00:15:21,159 --> 00:15:22,919
Speaker 4: Was my blue gog was popping copium pills.

333
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 3: Baby, Hey, I love it.

334
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: You know other guys that have come to BYU this

335
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:31,039
year from other schools taw Celia Khana last year, Nucy Town,

336
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,559
we Payo from stam for right, like, these are the future,

337
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,600
these are the future stars of this BYU offense or defense.

338
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:42,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think you saw what Nucian after

339
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,960
and cal seely kind of got into the rhythm of things.

340
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:48,360
We started using them as not even I think Nucy

341
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:50,039
started what both of them started getting used not just

342
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,600
as third down specialist. And I'm really intrigued to see

343
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:54,639
next year kind of what that does. I know that

344
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,559
there was when we got into more depth sides of

345
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,440
the games, when we were like the TCU game, when

346
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,519
we got ahead by quite a bit, Newsey was playing

347
00:16:01,559 --> 00:16:04,759
in that that Midia glaster spot. So I was kind

348
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,120
of intrigued to see that and see him not playing

349
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,600
on the line and playing off the ball a little bit.

350
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:11,360
And then as soon as third down came, he dropped,

351
00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:12,919
he jumped back on the line and they brought a.

352
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 5: New package in.

353
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,679
Speaker 4: And I'm really excited for Nuci. I think that kid

354
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:19,000
has some really really high upside.

355
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:22,879
Speaker 2: My guy, uh, I'm gonna put this out as one

356
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:24,519

or not.

371
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,559
Speaker 3: I want to say he was.

372
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: He may have been more of a grad transfer, right,

373
00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:12,200
wasn't he the grad transfer transfer?

374
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 5: No?

375
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,799
Speaker 2: That was a yeah a man, right, yeah, yeah, Tyson

376
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,599
Tyson Williams was before the actual portal era.

377
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: I think he was a graduate transfer.

378
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:22,839
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, yep, yep.

379
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: You went like Jordan Leslie was a grad transfer, right

380
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,039
like he was. Uh yeah, I'm pretty sure that that's

381
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,599
kind of how it went. And like you got Juco

382
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,359
transfers as well, right, Like Devon Blackman was a Juco transfer.

383
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,319
Speaker 3: Jake was more of a Juco transfer as well, Jake

384
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,000
Retzlaf so.

385
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,880

444
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:38,359

461
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me, Yes, indeed love talking Bob with you.

462
00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:27,880
What what some of the gems?

463
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,039
Speaker 2: What were some of the takeaways from the media roundup

464
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,799
with Kyle Whittingham yesterday.

465
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 5: There's a few. This whole suga has been so weird,

466
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:40,480
even going back to last week. Right, I'm stepping down,

467
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:43,519
and then right after that hits the Athletic reports that

468
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,599
he is interested in coaching. Still, so I'm glad we

469
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,640
finally got the year from Kyle. I know a lot

470
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,279
of people have made something of the fact there wasn't

471
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:55,160
a press conference to address with stepping down and then

472
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,759
Scally being officially named the head coach. I didn't make

473
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:00,519
a ton of that just because we you we'd get

474
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,039
media availability with them. And the fact that they're waiting

475
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,839
till after the Bowl game with Scally I think makes

476
00:22:05,839 --> 00:22:07,279
a lot of sense to me. But I know some

477
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,720
people talked about that kind of thing as it pertains

478
00:22:09,759 --> 00:22:12,000
to the Nuggets. I mean, look, he sounds like a

479
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:14,119
guy who still wants to coach. I would also say,

480
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,160
though at what level and in what capacity? I'm sure

481
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,440
we'll talk about all the Michigan stuff here in a moment.

482
00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:21,599
To me, that makes a lot of sense, right with

483
00:22:21,839 --> 00:22:24,839
wanting to coach at Michigan and that as it's been

484
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,000
reported and I've heard the same thing, he absolutely does

485
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,160
that it's a top five to ten job in the

486
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,160
country with the resources Michigan has. I think it's the

487
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,119
top five job in the countries. I think that's why

488
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,200
he's interested in going there, But what other level of

489
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:38,920
jobs he would take. That's why I think it's more

490
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,279
like NFL assistant wise that's what he said yesterday. Like

491
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,400
you said, I'm a free agent, I'm in the transfer portals.

492
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:49,559
Listen to him talk. He says he's he with what

493
00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:52,319
happened that you saw? So what does that mean?

494
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: I'm not entirely sure, JT. We have some connection issues.

495
00:22:56,039 --> 00:22:56,559
You're kind of hit.

496
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,039
Speaker 2: It's like hit and miss a little bit with your

497
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,119
with your connection real quick, Ronald. I don't know if

498
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,680
you're seeing it on your end, but I just wanted

499
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,680
to get you a breast of that. I don't know

500
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,880
if you're in a specific location, but let's see if

501
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,359
we can get him dialed in. JT is still there, buddy, Yes, yeah,

502
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,559
still here? Okay, yeah, so yeah, so you yeah, continue there, JT.

503
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,759
You were kind of hit and miss there.

504
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:22,559
Speaker 5: Yeah. I was just saying this whole thing with Kyle Whittingham, right,

505
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:24,839
he said, I'm a free agent, I'm in the transferform.

506
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,039
Speaker 3: Now.

507
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 5: He doesn't sound to me like a guy who wants

508
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:27,880
to retire.

509
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 4: Now.

510
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,519
Speaker 5: Is he a guy who wants to take any college

511
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:32,359
coaching job? I don't think so. I think he's a

512
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,799
guy whould love to go to Michigan. As has been reported,

513
00:23:35,079 --> 00:23:37,519
I think there's NFL jobs that would appeal to him,

514
00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:41,039
because I think he'd be much more inclined to the

515
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,720
lifestyle of the NFL calendar than just the average college

516
00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:47,599
coaching job. Now, Michigan's chance to win a national championship,

517
00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:50,640
to me, would appeal to him. But throughout this whole process, right,

518
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,200
you know, he even says I'm at peace with stepping down.

519
00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:55,079
He talked about how we wanted to come back this

520
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,240
year and not go out last year. So this has

521
00:23:57,319 --> 00:23:59,920
been a really interesting saga. But he does sound like

522
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:02,880
he's at piece with the decision. But it's been strange

523
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,519
how we got here.

524
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: It truly has been awkward, in strange. Look, this is

525
00:24:08,279 --> 00:24:10,880
a guy that it's obvious he still wants to coach.

526
00:24:12,759 --> 00:24:15,160
Will he take a G six job? Will he only

527
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,759
take a P four job? Will he take an assistant

528
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:21,680
head coach, defensive coordinating job? Does he want to look

529
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,640
to the NFL? Are all options on the table?

530
00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:29,079
Speaker 5: I don't think so. I don't see g G six job.

531
00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:33,519
I see NFL like advisor more than coach. I'd say,

532
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,920
I think the Michigan job is just different. The Michigan job,

533
00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:41,559
Like you said, that's the chance to win a national championship.

534
00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:45,480
That's something that gets you reinvigorated, right those other jobs,

535
00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:49,559
Like Kyle Whittingham has already accomplished everything a G six

536
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,240
job could possibly achieve, with the maybe exception of making

537
00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:55,559
the playoffs. But with that, he'd be better off at

538
00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:59,039
a at a Utah, just like that at a Michigan anyways. Right,

539
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,599
So I don't also believe this like there's a reason

540
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:03,960
this this whole thing now of Kyle Whittingham and an

541
00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:05,839
interest in coming back in and everything.

542
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,519
Speaker 4: He's a guy who hasn't.

543
00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:11,519
Speaker 5: Made at Utah and I and has people in place

544
00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:13,599
to help him with the things that it takes to

545
00:25:13,759 --> 00:25:18,319
run a college football program. I think if it's it's Michigan, right,

546
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:21,519
he's okay with I have to do more. I don't

547
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:23,160
get the sense that he'd want to go to just

548
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,119
any college job, especially one that doesn't give him the

549
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,799
resources to win at the highest level. And now it's oh,

550
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,400
you have to do more at this place, and you

551
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,920
don't have a chance of a good opportunity to win

552
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,279
as you did even at Utah. To me, this is

553
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,400
a guy who's still going to retire from coaching, whether

554
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,480
it's completely or just like we said, maybe he's continues

555
00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:46,839
in that assistant type of role. I don't think Whittingham

556
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,680
wants to be in May, just whatever month you pick

557
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,240
in the off season, going into the office each and

558
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,480
every single day. That's where we talked about. At Utah,

559
00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:57,960
he had things in place and people that could help

560
00:25:58,039 --> 00:25:59,839
him do that. If he goes through a lot of

561
00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:02,079
other jobs, he has to do all of that and

562
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,240
do more than he was doing at Utah. To me,

563
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,200
he is still a guy that's getting closer to retirement,

564
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,880
and I think it's Michigan job for him, or NFL

565
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:14,279
administrative assistant or something like that. I do not see

566
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,960
him being a G six coach, but there appears to

567
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,880
still be a passion to stay in the world of football.

568
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:22,319
But does that mean he will do whatever it takes

569
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:23,880
a stay in football. I don't think so.

570
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: Do you think there's any enmity between Kyle Harlan the

571
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:34,640
presidency there at the U that would lead him to say,

572
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,720
you know, I don't want this this sweet, hard deal

573
00:26:38,839 --> 00:26:40,880
you've given me for the next two years at three

574
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,000
point four to five million.

575
00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:43,799
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go coach somewhere else.

576
00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:45,759
Speaker 2: I'm gonna win, I'm gonna show you guys that with

577
00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:50,000
you know, with support, with resources, that I can win

578
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:54,359
at the highest levels in college football.

579
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, That's that's a really tough one, right, because there's

580
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,799
been a lot of speculation already on that relationship. Obviously,

581
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,640
Morgan already did put something out by just congratulating with

582
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,720
on their career, and those guys have been together so long.

583
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:10,279
I gotta believe that relationship is still pretty strong. But

584
00:27:10,319 --> 00:27:12,279
I'll also say that I think it's very fair to

585
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,000
wonder if Kyle Whittingham came back to Utah for another year,

586
00:27:16,319 --> 00:27:19,000
would Morgan stally have come back too, Not because of

587
00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:23,200
any animosity, because Morgan Scalley, I do believe had outside interest.

588
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:25,960
This has been one of the top ten defensive coordinators

589
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,200
in the country for years, and when you have the

590
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,640
level of success that Utah has had as a P

591
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:34,400
four team, usually your coordinators eventually get an opportunity to

592
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:37,039
be a head coach or an elite coordinator someone else.

593
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,200
Morgan's had those in the past. He's passed been a

594
00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:43,519
good soldier knowing he'd be the head coach in waiting.

595
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,799
I think year it was like, all right, let's do

596
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,079
one more year of this It's been reported it was

597
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,279
supposed to be his final year last year, but he

598
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,440
kin wanted to come back go on a higher doubt,

599
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,200
which I mean, he didn't make a bowl game last year?

600
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,519
How crazy was that? Right? Still, when it's a built

601
00:27:56,559 --> 00:27:58,680
like that was forever ago with what the Utah team

602
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,759
was able to achieve his past season, so Morgan was

603
00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:04,319
a good soldier then. I do think Morgan like it

604
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,680
was his time to face It just seems like Morgan

605
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,480
and Kyle it was going to be one or the

606
00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:12,480
other in terms of who was the moving forward at Utah.

607
00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:15,200
I have just have a hard time believing that Morgan's

608
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,799
sally was gonna be down to be the Utah defensive

609
00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:21,119
coordinator once and instead of going and chasing either a

610
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,759
head coach opportunity or being a higher paid coordinator, because

611
00:28:24,759 --> 00:28:26,240
I do think some of the top jobs in the

612
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:29,400
country would have wanted him for all that he's accomplished.

613
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,319
Speaker 4: So cover, I feel like.

614
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 5: The relationship is still good there, but I think it's

615
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,880
it's understandable the question how did this all play out?

616
00:28:38,279 --> 00:28:41,319
Because it has been such a weird trajectory, I'm curious

617
00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:44,519
what will come out and boxibly Morgan and Kyle. They're

618
00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:46,920
still in the same building together, So I feel like

619
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,359
these are good overall.

620
00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:50,279
Speaker 4: But I think there's.

621
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,079
Speaker 5: Definitely a chance that Kyle wanted to come back to

622
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,359
one more years. There's also a chance that he was

623
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,480
content to shut down and run off into the sunset

624
00:28:57,519 --> 00:28:59,480
and retirement. And as he was running off of the

625
00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:02,200
sunset out of the court is he noticed the whole

626
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,519
situation going on at Michigan and one of the top

627
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:06,960
five jobs in the country is open. Remember this is

628
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,960
the winningham turned down the offer secunity to go to

629
00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:13,440
Tennessee long ago. When you turn down Tennessee and stay Utah,

630
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,799
you're turning down a chance to win a national championship. Now,

631
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,240
obviously you're also keeping yourself in a more safe job.

632
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:22,640
So Kyle still made a good choice. But now he's

633
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,680
got a chance to go to Michigan and really compete

634
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,000
for a national title. And think that appeels to him

635
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,119
a lot. But yeah, I think it's fair to wonder

636
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,039
how that relationship is as it relates to Cale's administrative

637
00:29:32,079 --> 00:29:34,920
assistance at this moment. I was shocked if that was

638
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,960
what he was doing next year. He seems like a

639
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,720
football coach. He talks about the juice is still there

640
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,079
and I expect him to be involved off the football

641
00:29:42,119 --> 00:29:43,160
field in some capacity.

Speaker 3: Who's your favorite? Who am I missing? And uh, who's

727
00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:04,519
your favorite? Or why? Yeah?

728
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,799
Speaker 7: Offensively it's tough and look, I wish I could throw

729
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,360
lj in at two ben h but I think he

730
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:12,519
just decommitted it and committed to BYU because of coach.

731
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,079
Speaker 6: There was a coaching changes, but he.

732
00:34:14,079 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 7: Would have been on that list too, been if if

733
00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:17,760
if the coach would have been fired, and he'd have

734
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,039
been at Stanford. And I just bring up that Noocy

735
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,559
bear and it seems like these Stanford guys coming to BYU.

736
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:26,440
It has to be Puka beIN right offensively at least

737
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,960
and the reason why I look what he's doing now

738
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,559
in the league even when he played ding d up

739
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:34,159
Ben when he was eighty five percent, seventy five percent,

740
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,199
maybe sixty eight times he still was productive. You saw

741
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,719
the talent, you saw the high level four start, you

742
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,440
saw the kid from ORM. And the last time a

743
00:34:42,559 --> 00:34:44,760
kid that came out of ORM that had that high

744
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,000
of a praise is in this class right now is

745
00:34:47,079 --> 00:34:50,280
Junie Mowalla. Like you think of ORM High School as okay,

746
00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:54,480
that kingsy Suwamatia. So Utah's got some dudes, and Puka's

747
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,000
that definitely that dude, I think offensively.

748
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 6: And it's all gonna be said and done once against

749
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:58,400
his contract.

750
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 7: I don't want people to take this hyperbole, but he

751
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,320
said that he doesn't want to play until he's He

752
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,039
only wants to play until Heast thirty thirty one.

753
00:35:05,159 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 6: Ben, But I think that's criminal because the way Pooka's playing.

754
00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 7: He's got on track to be I think a top five,

755
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,079
if not top ten receiver of all time in the NFL.

756
00:35:13,159 --> 00:35:14,519
Speaker 6: Some people might say that's a hot take.

757
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 7: I really don't think it is, with the way he's playing,

758
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,199
with Sean mcvabye and as young as a coach as

759
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,360
he is, With how the Rams are positioned in the

760
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,719
playoffs now and in Division. I know they lost a

761
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,360
thriller yesterday and Thursday, night football, which was crazy if

762
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,400
you missed the game. Anyway, the point is, I think

763
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,639
it's Pooking. Then defensively, I'm gonna go Jack Kelly. I

764
00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:34,719
think Jack Kelly has been phenomenal with what you brought in.

765
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,639
He said he wanted, you know, ten and a half sacks.

766
00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:38,519
He told us that a big twelve media day. Ben

767
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,760
he got it done. He still has an opportunity, I

768
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,679
think to get a few, you know, a few more

769
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,800
so to me, offensively, it's Puka. Defensively, I'll go Jack

770
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,800
Kelly because Bio, it has been a minute since you

771
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,760
had a guy that could pass, rush and get after

772
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:51,320
the quarterback.

773
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 6: That's that fast.

774
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,119
Speaker 7: We heard Jake retz Left say it last year before

775
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:55,800
he went into the land of Jack Kelly's fast to

776
00:35:56,119 --> 00:35:59,119
Hokey down. Jack might be a legit like four or five,

777
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:01,800
four to six type. I will have to see, you know,

778
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,039
when the combine comes. But to me, I'll take Pooka

779
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,360
as the best transfer offensively, and I'll take defensively for

780
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,679
Jack Kelly's the best transfer defensively. I know it's been

781
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,000
a short time, but he's been very impactful since he's

782
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:12,480
got to the Y.

783
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 2: Now they're a few other guys that I missed, but

784
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,480
I love their personalities, right, Like Dion Smith from Colorado, right,

785
00:36:18,639 --> 00:36:21,840
like love getting to know him, loved. What about Caleb

786
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,880
e t N Oklahoma State to be Yu?

787
00:36:25,159 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 3: Right? That was a j Vong put Chong.

788
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 2: I forget man, you to State to b Yu Waylon

789
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,800
Lah Utah State to be Yu. You know some really

790
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,880
good football players Austin Les Yeah, Austin Leusa SUU to

791
00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:44,079
b Yu. So you go, you kind of go down

792
00:36:44,199 --> 00:36:47,199
this list of players and you're like, man, I missed it.

793
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,840
But Jacob Robinson cornerback, Utah State, Sampson the cool wide

794
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,320
and Siverar Utah, Caleb Hayes, what about Caleb cornerback?

795
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 3: What about mister Eddie heckerd Yeah, I did mention him.

796
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,440
I did mention Eddie. But he's on that list.

797
00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 6: Can we throw him? You mentioned Caleb like one or

798
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,559
two your guys.

799
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

800
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: It's like you have like favorites personality wise, you have

801
00:37:08,599 --> 00:37:14,159
favorites productivity wise. I think the favorite right now is

802
00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:16,360
gonna be Bear Bachmeyer just because he's a quarterback and

803
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,239
came from Stanford and he bawled out as a true

804
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,480
freshman as a freshman All American.

805
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 3: There's gonna be very few that are like it's anyone, but.

806
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: Bear Bachmeyer's your favorite because you was so good this

807
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:29,840
season and without him, you don't know what would have happened.

808
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:30,559
Speaker 3: You just don't know.

809
00:37:31,199 --> 00:37:33,159
Speaker 2: Uh, well, you know, I love McKay Hillstead, I love

810
00:37:33,199 --> 00:37:36,039
Trayson morgay and maybe they can allegend a glorying victory

811
00:37:36,639 --> 00:37:39,400
and all those things were Everson Goleman, but like Beart

812
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:41,599
really stepped up and hit some home runs.

813
00:37:41,639 --> 00:37:43,679
Speaker 3: He was phenomenal for the coops.

814
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 2: I look at positions of need typically that you don't

815
00:37:49,519 --> 00:37:53,840
get and it's hard to retain good talent like Jacob Robinson,

816
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,760
to me, is considered one of the best cornerbacks in

817
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,639
BYU football history. He came from you Toss State, He

818
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,519
was an Oorum High guy and then came to by

819
00:38:03,639 --> 00:38:08,039
You and became, in my opinion, arguably you know, one

820
00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:10,800
of the best, if not the best corners in BYU

821
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,719
football history. Jacob was electric, He was phenomenal. That is

822
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,639
such a tough position physically. When I look at the

823
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:23,440
most physically taxing athletically positions, it's cornerback and tackle because

824
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,400
you're in the open space your name has had for

825
00:38:26,559 --> 00:38:29,440
good and evil. As soon as you make a mistake,

826
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:33,079
everybody knows that you made a mistake, and as quick

827
00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:35,199
as someone likes you, they'll throw you under the bus

828
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,280
and say we need somebody better at that position. It's

829
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,440
not quarterback, but it's it's from an athletic standpoint, it's

830
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,280
one of those very difficult positions. So you look at

831
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,920
guys like k lob and Andrew Gentry and kings Lee Suamatii,

832
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,559
Isaiah Johda that have come through the portal to those

833
00:38:52,639 --> 00:38:55,480
tackle spots in the corners like I mean gave Judy

834
00:38:55,559 --> 00:38:56,400
Lalley could have been.

835
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:57,599
Speaker 3: A legendary coup too.

836
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: I'm still ticked off about him leaving. Caleb Hayes deserves

837
00:39:01,519 --> 00:39:05,519
his flowers in my opinion, and as does Jacob Robinson.

838
00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:10,559
So I'm gonna go offensively, it's Bear Bachmeyer is probably

839
00:39:10,679 --> 00:39:16,199
the favorite here. Defensively, Oh, I'm gonna go Jacob Robinson.

840
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,679
I really thought that was a fantastic acquisition. He came

841
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,400
in after a season at Utah State. He wasn't even

842
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,159
like a star at Utah State either, He just played

843
00:39:25,519 --> 00:39:28,360
as a true freshman. They came to Brigham balled out

844
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,719
and to me has been one of the best corners

845
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,920
to come through Brigham. So those are my two favorite guys.

846
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,679
I'm gonna put it out there to Cougarnation so they

847
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,119
can chime in on it. But we've had so many

848
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:43,280
great transfers for for the Darnell Dixons. By the way,

849
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,280
shout out to Darnell. He got some good news today.

850
00:39:47,079 --> 00:39:49,079
The prayers have been answered. Love Double D.

851
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 3: But Darnell is a bit of a guy.

852
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 2: He's that guy that says, get off my long and

853
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,719
that transfer portal and nil and rev SHARE's gonna ruin

854
00:39:58,199 --> 00:40:01,199
college athletic and I don't think it's the same ruin

855
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,360
and that it would ruin maybe BYU football. Can we

856
00:40:04,559 --> 00:40:10,480
say that the new landscape of college football, okay, has

857
00:40:10,639 --> 00:40:14,559
been more beneficial to BYU than it has been detrimental

858
00:40:14,679 --> 00:40:16,280
Ronald of the three Man Weaver, has it been more

859
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,719
Has it been more beneficial, more detrimental or do you

860
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,480
just think it's been neutral for BYU?

861
00:40:22,159 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 7: I think definitely with being in the Big twelve, I

862
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,519
think with how BYU played from last year to this year,

863
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:29,880
you have to say it's definitely improved.

864
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 6: Because they're in the title game, right, So that's a bonus.

865
00:40:32,639 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 7: Last year they weren't there, So you have to say

866
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,440
that this roster and the coaching staff and what they

867
00:40:37,519 --> 00:40:40,000
brought in elevated them to get to the title game.

868
00:40:40,119 --> 00:40:43,559
So based on facts, you know, Ben they the it

869
00:40:43,639 --> 00:40:45,719
did it did? They have benefited from him. But at

870
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,039
the same time, if I'm going to argue in that

871
00:40:48,159 --> 00:40:50,719
point a point within the point, stay with me here, fans,

872
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:53,920
it also costs you because you couldn't throw the balls

873
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,519
maybe necessarily vertically the way you want it, because you

874
00:40:56,599 --> 00:40:59,280
lost a guy like Keillen Marrion, you lost maybe Depp

875
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,440
at the line packer position at times because Harrison Tager

876
00:41:02,559 --> 00:41:06,079
you know, went elsewhere, right, And that's me nitpicking, being nitpicky, bin.

877
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:08,840
But when you talk about being a conference champion, when

878
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,880
you talk about revenue, when you bring these guys in

879
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,559
the ultimate go what beeness in today? Do what win

880
00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:16,000
a conference title, go to the College Football Playoffs, win

881
00:41:16,039 --> 00:41:16,760
the national title.

882
00:41:17,119 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 6: So that's just me nitpicking.

883
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 7: But overall, I believe it's been positive for sure, because

884
00:41:21,039 --> 00:41:23,159
BOYU was in a tie last year, they missed out

885
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,800
the real bits off title game was Colorado bou Bo.

886
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,079
You spanked them, and then this year they win in Texas.

887
00:41:29,159 --> 00:41:31,159
Tech is legit d team and who I think is

888
00:41:31,199 --> 00:41:32,519
gonna win it all at the end of the day.

889
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,400
Also the national media saying that that Oregon's gonna beat

890
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,280
them and stomp them crazy. I guess you haven't looked

891
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,800
at football lately anyway. The point is, I think BOE

892
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,760
football has benefited. It's been positive.

893
00:41:42,039 --> 00:41:45,159
Speaker 6: But again Transporter Ben, it giveth and it takes this.

894
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,519
Speaker 7: Given Keanu Tonavasa is given Jack Kelly, it gave Jacob Robinson,

895
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:51,559
It gave Eddie Hacker. Could you imagine being if Eddie

896
00:41:51,559 --> 00:41:53,880
would have had two seasons, what would have happened at BYU,

897
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:54,760
what that could have been.

898
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 6: But it also has took it.

899
00:41:56,119 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 7: It also has taken you know, guys like gave Judy

900
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,880
Lay one year after that hurt remember that said, man,

901
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:02,880
he could have been a legendre like you said, it

902
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,840
also you know took you know other guys you know

903
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,320
like Klan Mirian and Harrison Taggert that I said, that's

904
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,159
just the nature of it.

905
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 6: But overall think it has been positive. It hasn't been negative.

906
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 2: Another little Cougar inside report for you guys ten years

907
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:27,079
ago Kailani was named head coach of BYU Cougar Football.

908
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,199
Can you believe that it's been ten years, a decade

909
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:37,239
of Kalani culture, Kialani coaching, Kilanie satake, love and learning,

910
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:41,400
humble and hungry football, the ups and downs, the way,

911
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:42,639
more ups than downs.

912
00:42:43,639 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 3: The process has been awesome to watch.

913
00:42:47,599 --> 00:42:51,199
Speaker 2: The Polynesian lavelle will be with us for years to come,

914
00:42:52,039 --> 00:42:53,000
leading the Cougars to.

915
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 3: Gloryin victory in the new era, the new age of

916
00:42:55,079 --> 00:42:55,840
college football.

917
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,119
Speaker 2: And I think Kalani, we can all agree he's built

918
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:02,960
I think for this new era because he's a player's coach.

919
00:43:03,559 --> 00:43:07,199
Need have players coaches in this modern era with robust

920
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,159
resources behind him. And Uh, I think his approach is

921
00:43:11,199 --> 00:43:14,000
the best approach in college football. So ten years now,

922
00:43:14,639 --> 00:43:18,360
Killan's been your head coach? How would you describe it? Kugarnation?

923
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,760
How would how do you feel about it? Kugarnation. Also

924
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:28,239
another Cougar inside report apparently aj Aj was at the

925
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,599
the Jazz Lakers game. He was skirt right, he was

926
00:43:32,079 --> 00:43:36,679
courtsied and and greatness recognizing greatness. Uh one of the

927
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,840
Goats of the National Basketball Association and a future Goats,

928
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,960
a future goat AJ debonsa. Uh they met up on

929
00:43:45,079 --> 00:43:47,920
the on the sideline. What did you make of that interaction,

930
00:43:48,039 --> 00:43:49,039
Ronald than three man Weaver.

931
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 7: First of all, to your point about Killani, I hope

932
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,920
byu social media it does a great job. I think

933
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,920
there's some of the best, if not the best in

934
00:43:56,039 --> 00:43:57,800
the in the country with their social media team. I

935
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,880
hope a ten year tribute comes to Kilani. I'm not

936
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,360
trying to be cheesy. I'd love to see what they

937
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,639
put together, just Klinie's ten yere journey. Anyway, to your

938
00:44:05,679 --> 00:44:08,280
main point, Yeah, went right over to AJ. The minute

939
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,800
the game is over, Luca don just gets rebound, drips

940
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,079
a clock out. Lebron before the clock even hit zero

941
00:44:13,199 --> 00:44:16,840
is booking it towards AJ. Recognized it adapted him up immediately.

942
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,119
But I love the picture, Ben, I love the picture

943
00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:22,599
of AJ's face, like how locked in he is in

944
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,840
that moment of taking that advice. And this goes back

945
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,440
to what you said, what Kevin Youngest said, what I

946
00:44:27,519 --> 00:44:31,119
have said, to be so coachable, to be able to

947
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,400
just take everything and then soak it up like a

948
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:34,920
sponge and want to be the greatest.

949
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,159
Speaker 6: Look, we don't know what he's gonna become. He very well,

950
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:38,960
could you know, not be the greatest.

951
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 7: He could be average, right, but with the way he's

952
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,320
able to be coachable and with how he's able to

953
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,480
take it and improve, Ben, I love it so love

954
00:44:45,519 --> 00:44:47,559
to see. You know, some who call the greatest of

955
00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:49,480
all time. I don't call him that, but Lebron one

956
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,039
of the goats, like you said, and a potential future goat,

957
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,199
a potential number one overall pick, just like Lebron, both

958
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,000
meeting up. I love to see these moments, So we'll

959
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,280
see what happens because you never know. Maybe Lebron is

960
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,119
the owner of the organization of which AJ plays for.

961
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:02,679
Speaker 4: You never know.

962
00:45:03,559 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 3: That's true, That's definitely true.

963
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,559
Speaker 2: Last thing here in this Cougar Insider fort Pukaakua in

964
00:45:09,639 --> 00:45:13,199
that twenty twenty three draft class. I would make an

965
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:18,000
argument that Pooka Nakua is the most undervalue, is the

966
00:45:18,039 --> 00:45:22,119
most undervalued draft pick in that draft.

967
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,079
Speaker 3: I agree. Look, I mean there's some other players, right

968
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:27,079
you gotta highlight.

969
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,079
Speaker 2: I'm sure that are that are really good football players

970
00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:32,360
right now in the National Football League. But being one

971
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,559
hundred and seventy seventh overall going to the fifth round,

972
00:45:35,679 --> 00:45:39,840
to the Rams and becoming arguably the best wide receiver

973
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,239
in the National Football League. Man, that's that's tough the top.

974
00:45:45,079 --> 00:45:50,039
You know, that is a difficult path to navigate.

975
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 7: So question for you, Ben, then if he had been healthy,

976
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:54,920
because you bring up a good point that I've heard,

977
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,480
where would he have gone? Because I believe based on

978
00:45:57,599 --> 00:46:00,679
you know, injury not being available transferring to you later

979
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,679
fifth round pick, I believe like maybe second or third.

980
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,480
Where what rumblings did you hear if he had been healthy?

981
00:46:07,679 --> 00:46:09,280
What was the highest draft stock could have been?

982
00:46:09,679 --> 00:46:13,119
Speaker 2: I think probably the best you get with Pooka's if

983
00:46:13,159 --> 00:46:18,320
he's healthy and productive and utilized in a way that

984
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:25,280
showcases of talents. Remember McVeigh is phenomenal. Like if you review, okay,

985
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,400
if you review the draft grades from all of the

986
00:46:29,599 --> 00:46:35,079
so called experts, like no one really had him much

987
00:46:35,199 --> 00:46:37,639
higher than he went, right, You know what I mean?

988
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,800
Like no one really valued Puka because they didn't check tape.

989
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:45,039
You have to be a football just guru of an

990
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,000
x's and o's film junkie to be able to spot

991
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,559
a great football player that fits into your scheme. Now,

992
00:46:53,039 --> 00:46:57,079
it's schematic and personnel driven. When you have Stafford, Like

993
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,039
Puka is not Puka without Stafford. Puca is not Puka

994
00:47:01,199 --> 00:47:05,960
without McVeigh. Okay, it's just like not to say that

995
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,679
Puka wouldn't have been good where everyone He was good

996
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,480
at Washington had injury issues when went to BYU had

997
00:47:11,519 --> 00:47:15,400
some injury issues. But like you saw like the potential

998
00:47:15,519 --> 00:47:18,760
that and how Aaron Roderick utilized him when you go

999
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:19,719
back and check tape, like.

1000
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,039
Speaker 3: Man, this guy can do it all.

1001
00:47:21,639 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 2: He is a as Gruden says, a football player, right,

1002
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:26,920
He's just that dude, He's that guy.

1003
00:47:27,119 --> 00:47:29,559
Speaker 3: So uh as a football player.

1004
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,599
Speaker 2: That's what I'm That's what I'm getting at here, Like

1005
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:36,559
you need the trifecta you need. You know, Austin Colley

1006
00:47:36,599 --> 00:47:38,920
wouldn't have been Austin Colly his first couple of seasons

1007
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,880
without Peyton Manning, right, Like, he just wouldn't have been

1008
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:48,320
It's just hard to align the stars between your coordinator,

1009
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:53,440
your supporting cast, your quarterback, and then your individual skill set.

1010
00:47:53,559 --> 00:47:57,199
But he is the most underrated in that twenty twenty

1011
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,960
three class, and I don't really think there's an argument

1012
00:48:00,599 --> 00:48:04,239
for anybody else you go into like the even like

1013
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,760
the first round picks, right, let's just talk about the

1014
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,519
the guys that were spent or the organization spent the

1015
00:48:13,559 --> 00:48:15,920
most on how have they produced.

1016
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: I mean, Jamier Gibbs, nice, that was a nice pick

1017
00:48:18,079 --> 00:48:19,639
up at twelve. CJ.

1018
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,159
Speaker 2: Stroud, Yeah, Anthony Richardson, Yeah, you know what I mean,

1019
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,320
like go through the first round. But John Robinson, right,

1020
00:48:25,559 --> 00:48:28,320
I mean, come on, that's a great pick at number eight,

1021
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,840
and he's been extremely productive. I mean, one of the

1022
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:37,320
best running backs in the NFL. But from a value standpoint,

1023
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:46,239
Pooka exceeds the value Jackson Smith, najibbah right, Like phenomenal

1024
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:52,599
pick for the Seahawks, but still the value that you

1025
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,119
get back after what you've allocated to him, I mean

1026
00:48:56,199 --> 00:49:01,639
it's not even close. Puka wins every single time. So

1027
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,880
