wonder for weekend, spent time with friends and family members

24
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,680
got a little R and R and enjoyed BYU basketball

25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,719
dub a dominating victory at home. It's awesome to have

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,040
the Cougar Cagers back at the Marriott Center, and they

27
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:23,760
showed well, they showed fantastic. We're gonna break that down.

28
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:26,120
What do we know about this BAYU men's basketball team?

29
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:28,719
What's the rotation going to be as we get into

30
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,200
conference play? BYU definitely went through a bit of a

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,000
refining fire, learning who they are, what they stand for,

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,519
what their identity is going to be into conference play.

33
00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:42,480
So I do think they are built to win in

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,519
conference play, but they did suffer a few setbacks. They

35
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:50,200
suffered some injuries, right, and so what will the rotation

36
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:50,680
look like?

37
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 5: What do we trust?

38
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 4: Who do we trust to lead BYU into Big twelve

39
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:58,359
basketball play, the G League with university logos. Who has

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,000
been dominant versus the other power conferences thus far this season?

41
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:04,840
You look at the win loss record all the Big

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,639
twelve teams facing the SEC, Big Ten, ACC you know,

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,560
any of these conferences, and it has been very impressive

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,520
to see what the Big twelve has has done, what

45
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,360
they've been able to accomplish in the non conference scheduling.

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,159
Speaker 5: We'll get into that. I want to celebrate the win.

47
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,479
Speaker 4: We'll hear from a number of different individuals, So keep

48

rest of the Star shutt Of cast joining us for

66
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,199
this beautiful Monday, December fifteenth edition of Cougar Sports here

67
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,400
live from our Banterwell studio. So let's welcome in Ronald

68
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:17,039
the three man weaver behind the glass.

69
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 5: Ronnie, how you living.

70
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 6: I'm living good.

71
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 7: Happy Monday, guys, December fifteenth. It was a glorious victory

72
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,719
ben the first time BYU has the clips one hundred

73
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,479
this season, so everybody was doing a little bit and

74
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,159
we saw the best part about it the bench production.

75
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,240
Thank you Alexi coaches for not making me sound like

76
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:35,479
a liar on the airways.

77
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 6: I appreciate you taking care of business.

78
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:38,919
Speaker 5: Now, doubt about it.

79
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: Hey, we needed to find some scoring off the bench,

80
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:44,400
some shooters off the bench. We have playmakers, we have

81
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:46,439
distributors of that basketball.

82
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 5: Someone's got to hit a shot, for the love of all.

83
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:51,159
Speaker 4: That's only Alexi was able to do that, and I

84
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:53,479
hope he continues down that path as well.

85
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 5: Filled the big shoes of Dawson the bucket.

86
00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:59,439
Speaker 4: Getter Baker as he sustained at HCl injury, and I

87
00:03:59,479 --> 00:03:59,919
think it was both.

88
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 5: It was a devastating instory. She's like he's a good

89
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,719
spirits though on the bench there behind.

90
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:09,599
Speaker 4: The Cooper bench during this past game where SUC riverside

91
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,919
Ull well, if we hope the best for his recovery,

92
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,800
but it actually got to step up, show up, show out.

93
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:16,360
Let's also welcome into the show, Hammer time show. We

94
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:19,120
got Brent always bringing the hammer, Brett Hammer, how are you, buddy.

95
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 5: I'm good. I'd like everyone to know that I'm not

96
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:22,319
walking back my take.

97
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,079
Speaker 8: I conspiracy theorized on this show, and then I went

98
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:28,000
late and put it went later and put a video

99
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,000
out that there was just the timing could have been

100
00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:33,600
right for Kyle Whittingham to maybe be interested in the

101
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:36,240
Michigan job. And while I know he's not the number

102
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,920
one on call, shee and I realized that Jedfish is

103
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:41,079
a better choice because he has the connection to Michigan

104
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,560
and Kenny Dillingham. We've heard whispers that there may be

105
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,519
a signing, but we haven't seen anything official. My guy

106
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,360
Liam Blutman over at Barstool says, for what it's worth,

107
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:51,800
having on very good authority, that Whittingham does have a

108
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,639
lot of interest in the Michigan job. I don't know

109
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,279
that it will happen, but I do think even if

110
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,319
you're a Utah guy and you're like, there's no way

111
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,600
he would never leave U time to go coach somewhere else.

112
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,000
He's still I think probably one of the best candidates

113
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,720
for the job, just looking at his body of work,

114
00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:10,240
looking who else is left out there. I mean, if

115
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,839
you're really sitting here and you're saying, as Michigan, we're

116
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:16,079
waiting to see if Alabama gets blown out in a

117
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:18,399
playoff game, to see if Kaylen debor will come to us,

118
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:21,079
that tells me that he's probably not a super likely option.

119
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,759
I think, especially just given the history of Kyle Whittingham

120
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:29,360
across our great sport, he is.

121
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 5: One of the best candidates.

122
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,639
Speaker 8: Even if Kenny Dillingham and Jedfish are both fully available,

123
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:38,319
Kyle Whittingham should get a call from the University of Michigan, especially.

124
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 5: Because Dave Portland loves the state of Utah. Michigan alump,

125
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,360
So we'll see. I will say this much.

126
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:48,439
Speaker 4: Look, you see in certain certain situations in corporate America

127
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,680
or in you know, you're talking two hundred million dollar businesses,

128
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,439
hundred fifty million dollar businesses. You know, whenever you have

129
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,000
a situation a PR debacle, they typically like to go

130
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:02,040
the opposite direction of where they were. Like, even when

131
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,680
you don't have a PR debacle, if you have certain

132
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,199
equity stakeholders, donors in corporate sponsors that want you to

133
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:10,360
go a certain direction because the former leadership was a

134
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:13,399
certain way, then you go that way because that's what

135
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:15,519
the equity stakeholders is with the donors want. Like I'll

136
00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:18,920
give you an example BYU under Bronco, Menenhall was pretty

137
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,839
gods staying good a football. Obviously, he got a P

138
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,079
five job at the Undersity of Virginia, got a huge

139
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:26,519
pay raise after being at BA for ten years. Really,

140
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:28,959
I mean, just like Kilani would have got a huge

141
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,519
pay raise at Penn State. Kilani more so than than

142
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,439
than Bronco got a massive pay raise. But still there's

143
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:38,920
equivalency there because look at what Kilani did over ten

144
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:40,560
year period. Look at it what he did from twenty

145
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,399
twenty to twenty twenty five. Really nice work, right. But

146
00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:46,439
Bronco was a little bit of an introvert. I always say,

147
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,680
you know that he was sometimes abrasive with the fans,

148
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,639
sometimes abrasive with you know, the corporate sponsor. He wasn't

149
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,639
a glad hander kissing babies and stuff like that. He

150
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,120
was linear organizational and culture and he wasn't over lea

151
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,600
dynamic with the former players, even the administration the upper campus.

152
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:09,759
Speaker 5: He wasn't a uniter like Kolana is. And and because of.

153
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 4: That, you know, people got like the mission President Vibe,

154
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,839
they got the Bishop Vibe, they got to Stay President Vibe,

155
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,240
and and they they just didn't connect with him. So

156
00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:21,319
they wanted something completely opposite of that, and they got Kilani.

157
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:27,800
And now Kilani said and has done similar things to Bronco.

158
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:28,959
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, like from a.

159
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:32,959
Speaker 4: Messaging standpoint, like like it's very very similar. And I've

160
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:37,759
marked those things over the years of like uh discipleship,

161
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:40,680
Like Bronco was like raaked over the colls for like

162
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,879
breaking out the scriptures and citing scriptures at press conferences.

163
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:51,079
Kilani is very christ centered discipleship. You know who started

164
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,680
the the uh the firesides of discipleship in two.

165
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 5: Thousand and five.

166
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:58,959
Speaker 4: Bronco we'd go, we'd sing the Armies of Heliman and

167
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,800
we'd uh we bear testimony about discipleship, all.

168
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:04,839
Speaker 5: Those things, but it wasn't received like it is now.

169
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,519
Does that make sense? Yeah, So there.

170
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,279
Speaker 4: Was a reason why they went more extroverted, more dynamic,

171
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,439
even though Colodie had no head coaching experience, right, so

172
00:08:14,519 --> 00:08:16,639
that's what they brought in and a level guy too.

173
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,120
Bronco was not a level guy. Didn't maybe cater to

174
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,920
the lavel guys and the ego. And look, they built

175
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:26,759
the they built the place, right, the blood, sweat and tears. Okay,

176
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,079
Like there's definitely like you gotta you gotta glad hand,

177
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:32,879
you gotta kiss babies, you gotta embrace those guys. There's

178
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:37,080
no doubt. He just wasn't that type. So and that's

179
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,080
just a BYU example. But I could see going back

180
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,679
to the Michigan kle Whittingham's discussion, them going the Board

181
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,000
of Trustees as they evaluate were manual, They're like, we've

182
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,200
had too many scams.

183
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,159
Speaker 8: I believe there's an investigation also department to say what

184
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:52,960
is going on?

185
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 5: Why do all of our coaches end up making poor decisions?

186
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, Hardball I think is I think

187
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:04,559
is a great man. I think he took advantage of

188
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:08,759
a rule that was kind of sort of in place,

189
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:11,240
but you don't necessarily held the cantible for it, but

190
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:13,120
he kind of was held a cautible for it. But

191
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,399
they still won, you know what I mean, Like he

192
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,399
kind of took advantage of Look Kyle Whittingham was also

193
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:25,360
sign stealing per per Lincoln Riley USC He's like sign steeler,

194
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,480
Morgan Scalli and Kyle. There's sign stealing. They do it

195
00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:30,480
all the time, you know. So, I mean it depends

196
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:30,919
on how.

197
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 5: You view different. That's a completely different point what everyone

198
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,200
else is doing. Mission.

199
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,759
Speaker 4: It's a different scandal. But like there there's enough pr

200
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,799
issues that you're like, well, who's the clean cut sure,

201
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:48,159
like solid culture builder that can can at least help

202
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,279
us transition. James Franklin was that for the paternal era

203
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:58,399
and the Sandusky issues, right, So like James Franklin, good human,

204
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,720
good man, great recruit, you know, couldn't win the top

205
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:03,279
ten games, and so they fired him.

206
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 8: He got to Col tomble Pla, even though he saved

207
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,799
them so much, Like because again that's my hometown. State

208
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,519
College is my hometown, and I can tell you the

209
00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:16,120
vibe around there post Paterno and Sadasky and all that stuff.

210
00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:19,320
James Franklin does not get enough credit for what he

211
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,480
did to turn that place around, and they kind of

212
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:23,559
just kicked him out the door. And it's a shame

213
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,639
because he should get a lot more credit and love

214
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:26,919
from the University and he didn't.

215
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,919
Speaker 4: No, yeah, and that's why he said VA Tech and

216
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,679
he took their entire recruiting class with him.

217
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 5: Good for him, Good yeah, good for in Dame round

218
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,879
of applause. I could see the.

219
00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 4: Board of Trustees making some sort of an executive decision

220
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,000
where it's like, yeah, we're were highly interested in Kylewittingham,

221
00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:44,879
who's sixty four to sixty five years old. Like, but

222
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:50,879
I don't know, man, I just think, Michigan, you're once again,

223
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:52,240
who are your equity stakeholders?

224
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,879
Speaker 5: Who? Who are your donors, who are your corporate sponsorships? Who?

225
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 4: If you're gonna acquire a lot of NIL support, you

226
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:03,519
need to have someone that they really can get behind.

227
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,159
Is Kyle Whittingham that guy? I mean, he ended up

228
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:10,960
in the top fifteen this year college football Playoff. He's

229
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,320
consistently been a top twenty five head coach in college football.

230
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:19,080
If you support him with nil, if you support him

231
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,399
with with resources, maybe he can do what he couldn't

232
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,360
do at Utah is consistently win championships, right, but he

233
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,639
was right there to win him. He had some great

234
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,000
seasons up at the U, so it could happen. I

235
00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:37,080
probably wouldn't bet on it. Have we checked Kyle she.

236
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 8: Reach, So, yeah, he's like four or five down. He's

237
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,679
not there. It's Jetfish and Kenny Dillingham and Kiln dea boor.

238
00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 5: But I also the.

239
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 4: Best thing to do is for some they have to

240
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,480
get a dynamic figurehead that people want to throw money at.

241
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:55,399
And then you bring in you bring in kyleib your

242
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:58,720
assistant head coach in DC, and you throw a ton

243
00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,919
of money at him to bring him.

244
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 8: You overpay him for that job. Yeah, and look, he's

245
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:05,679
not asked to do. You don't need him there for

246
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,720
ten years. You only have to overpay him for, like,

247
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,080
let's be honest, three years probably. And then once you're

248
00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:14,240
up and running and you've put this whole thing, this

249
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,759
whole Sharon warware you think behind you, Kyle can ride

250
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:19,799
off into the sunset with his whatever deal he has

251
00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:20,399
for Michigan.

252
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,759
Speaker 4: My question is, does Kyle have to be a head

253
00:12:22,759 --> 00:12:24,519
coach or is you okay be an assistant head coach

254
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,519
defensive coordinator in the twilight of his career?

255
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 5: Right?

256
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:32,639
Speaker 8: I mean, doesn't that kind of feel like an ego

257
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,200
personality thing? And that's not a shot at Kyle, Like

258
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:39,320
I think any high performing individual like that, it's really

259
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:41,320
hard for them to all of a sudden say I'm

260
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,440
now gonna play second fiddle, especially in the Ken Kenny

261
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,320
Dillingham situation, to a guy that's what like thirty years

262
00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:50,960
younger than him. So, I don't know, I think that's

263
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,799
I think that would be a tough card to play.

264
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:54,720
But you know what, maybe Kyle would surprise us and say, look,

265
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:56,600
I just want to do ball. However I have to

266
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,960
coach ball, I'll do it. Realize he doesn't have to coach.

267
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,120
His agreement as a special assistant to the Athletic Director,

268
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,960
it's a two year term three point four to five

269
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,879
million annually. If he just wants to be a special

270
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,360
assistant at Utah for the AD and help out on

271
00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:22,080
the board of Utah Brands LLC and be there as

272
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,720
a LASI. But obviously if he's willing to go and

273
00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:29,159
interview for defensive coordinating jobs, head coaching jobs right now

274
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,720
and willing to continue to coach, he feels slighted.

275
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:36,799
Speaker 5: He feels like he's got gas in the take. He

276
00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:40,080
feels he got pushed out. That depends on what rumors

277
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,799
you believe, right Like.

278
00:13:41,879 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 4: If he's going to do that because he's if he

279
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:46,639
had no juice left and he just wanted to write

280
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,320
it out and continue to ski and spend time with

281
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,080
his grandkids. I mean, you're still making three point four

282
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,960
to five million a year. That's more than any G

283
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,360
six head coach annually. Yeah, and that's higher than being

284
00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:07,559
probably a d C or a assistant head coach at

285
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,919
any one of these powerful institutions, because the highest paid

286
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,559
coordinators in college footbaar are sitting probably at that two

287
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,960
point five million to maybe maybe three million a year. Okay,

288
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:23,360
So that's what you're dealing with. So anyway, I think

289
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:28,039
it's an interesting study. I'm intrigued to see what happens

290
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,919
with Kyle Whittingham. Let's get in some college basketball talk.

291
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,360

316
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,759
you got a nice victory. The number ten Cougars rolled

317
00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:02,759
past UC Riverside one hundred to fifty three. Aj To

318
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,879
Bonza recorded a triple double with twenty six points, eight rebounds,

319
00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:10,919
seven assists, Almost I nearly recorded a triple double with

320
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,200
eight rebound, seven assists and in five steals.

321
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,639
Speaker 5: Looked very good. He balled out.

322
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:18,919
Speaker 4: He just continues to get better as the season goes on.

323
00:16:19,879 --> 00:16:21,720
De Bonsa led the Cougars with twenty six points on

324
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:28,759
eleven seventeen shooting. The freshman is obviously in a competition,

325
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,360
and Ronald and I have discussed this. Brett, You've been

326
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,039
a part of these conversations as well, Darren Peterson versus

327
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,200
agent de bons and Darren Peterson still suffering through like

328
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:43,519
some soft tissue, hamstring issues, hamstring swordness, tightness. So you're

329
00:16:43,559 --> 00:16:46,960
seeing AJ begin to elevate early on. I think in

330
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,279
the season Darren Peterson was the guy because he's just

331
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,039
scored at such a high rate, so effective. But Ronald

332
00:16:53,039 --> 00:16:55,519
brought this up early in the season or right before

333
00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:57,039
the season. It's like, hey, who's gonna be the number

334
00:16:57,039 --> 00:17:01,159
one O one pick? And he said, look, if if

335
00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:04,200
Darren can stay healthy, yeah, he's gonna be right there.

336
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:07,160
If he can't stay healthy, he may drop. And it

337
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,200
looks like Darren Peterson is is struggling to stay healthy.

338
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:12,519
Speaker 5: Roddy with his hamstring.

339
00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

340
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,319
Speaker 7: I brought that up because you're when a guy is

341
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:18,559
first starting off the season, been in these exhibition games,

342
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,559
right with Titaness going out early, I'm like, that's interesting, okay,

343
00:17:21,759 --> 00:17:23,599
and then it started to become a problem as they

344
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,640
play at the formidable non conference schedule started to ramp up.

345
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,759
Speaker 6: He sat out right.

346
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 7: I think I can't remember if it was that Yukon

347
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:31,960
game or Florida game, whatever one. He sat out and

348
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,720
didn't plan and I said, that's interesting, and then started

349
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:37,640
coming out early, sat again, and now Bill self is

350
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,799
discussing on T and T actual possibilities of shutting him

351
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:44,680
down for a legitimate hamstring injury. Look, when you're a

352
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,680
one and done guy, this is not football where you

353
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,079
still get drafted and it's other guys you can code

354
00:17:50,079 --> 00:17:53,319
depend on. This is basketball. You build your entire team

355
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,279
and organization around. Darren Peterson is being the face of

356
00:17:56,319 --> 00:17:59,160
a team in the NBA. He doesn't play, He drops

357
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,000
that moves a J and Cam boozer up.

358
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:02,559
Speaker 6: That's why what is it?

359
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,599
Speaker 7: Myyron metcalf And you're starting to see Javoni elevate AJ

360
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:09,279
and camp because Darren's not playing in My question has

361
00:18:09,319 --> 00:18:12,279
been his conference players, legit two and a half weeks away. Now,

362
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,200
is he gonna be ready in six weeks to play

363
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,039
against BYU?

364
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:15,279
Speaker 10: Like?

365
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 6: Is that gonna be the game?

366
00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:16,559
Speaker 11: Like?

367
00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:17,799
Speaker 6: We would be shortened.

368
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:19,759
Speaker 7: And I say we because we even as media members

369
00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:22,960
as fans of the game too. If Darren and AJ

370
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,359
didn't go at it in fog allen Field, I was like,

371
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,839
I'm concerned one about the man's health to be at

372
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:29,759
a play, and then second, he's not going to be

373
00:18:29,759 --> 00:18:31,720
able to elevate his draft stock. He'll stick, I think

374
00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:33,920
will be a top three pick. Maybe he falls the

375
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,960
top five. That might be a little bit absurd, but

376
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:38,599
right now, been his health and at hamstring injury, you

377
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,240
need that to be explosive, especially as a point guard

378
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,839
when you're doing everything for Kansas. So right now Bill

379
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,759
self is concerned, probably because his most important and most

380
00:18:46,839 --> 00:18:49,599
valuable player, we don't know if he's gonna go, you know,

381
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:50,960
for the next couple of weeks.

382
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 6: They legit might have to shut him down.

383
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,519
Speaker 4: AJ stock, I think he's rising back up to the top.

384
00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:58,319
I think that game versus Clemson at MSG the second

385
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,160
half was one that really got scouts and gms excited

386
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,319
in the National Basketball Association. Other guy that played well

387
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:10,039
in this game, you see riverside, Richie Soders was a

388
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,039
force in the first half, time a career.

389
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 5: High fifteen points before the break.

390
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,319
Speaker 4: The senior finished with nineteen points eight of twelve shooting,

391
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,920
and added five rebounds and two assists. Alection Coasta came

392
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,920
off the bench with five of eight from beyond the

393
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,920
arc to score a career high fifteen points. He knocked

394
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,200
down three three pointers in the span of less than

395
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,640
two minutes midway through the first half.

396
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,799
Speaker 5: Loved what I saw from him. Boy's bench contributed a.

397
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 4: Season high thirty six points, led by Coastick and Uh

398
00:19:32,039 --> 00:19:34,039
and and Uh Hydien boop?

399
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 5: Is it boop? Or is it my boom? If it's

400
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,559
if there's an them at the beginning?

401
00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 8: Them is very silent, very because I've listened to the

402
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,960
pronunciation and I hear a pause, but I don't hear

403
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,119
the M, So I'm not sure.

404
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:45,599
Speaker 6: So you can't.

405
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 7: You can't just say boom. But I remember that show

406
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,640
we did Brett Weston, Could somebody do that? In the

407
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,359
fan DM, he says, the M is very silent to pronounce.

408
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,960
You're gonna have to practice a little bit. I still

409
00:19:55,839 --> 00:19:58,599
is kadem boo? Like you still like that is exactly?

410
00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:00,799
The M is very silent. But yes, even go on

411
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,279
line to BA Cougars dot Com roster does a phenomenal job.

412
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 6: The pronunciation God is there.

413
00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 4: Cougar shot fifty nine point one percent for the field

414
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,839
at forty seven point four percent from the three point

415
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,039
line while reaching the one hundred point mark's one hundred

416
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,200
points mark day season high in the second one hundred

417
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,799
point performance of the Kevin Young era. Let's listen to

418
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,839
k Why in the post game opening statement and discussing

419
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,160

Speaker 5: Shout out to the Young family.

421
00:20:28,759 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 11: I might I don't usually do this, but I'm gonna

422
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:31,240
do this.

423
00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:34,319
Speaker 10: First non basketball for all the parents, big day at

before the game. She absolutely cooked in that, So shout

426
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:43,880
out to her. Now, let's open it up for basketball questions.

427
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:47,039
Speaker 5: Saying that she cooked in a recital.

428
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,759
Speaker 8: Just tell me your dad is a basketball coach without

429
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:52,960

430
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:55,359
my head said that I cooked at the recital today.

431
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 5: Oh, oh, that's right, your dad's a basketball coach.

432
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 4: I forgot tickling the ivories. Bravo Kevin Young's daughter. Do

433
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,400
we know the name of a lovely daughter that was

434
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,279
at the piano recital? The Christmas recital?

435
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,319
Speaker 7: I don't, but I will. Actually we could probably go

436
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,519
to his profile online.

437
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 5: Anyway, shout out to the young family, shout out to

438
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:14,519
you Tube.

439
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:16,559
Speaker 6: And you also had something as well, I won't reveal.

440
00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:19,319
Speaker 4: Well yeah, well this, yeah, well this morning, Yeah, at

441
00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:25,519
Montssori Preschool, Livy did participate in the Christmas uh singing recital.

442
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:26,839
Speaker 5: So she did great, She did great.

443
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: She was i'd say half of the time distracted, but

444
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:32,960
half the time she did good. Anyway, your she she

445
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,319
cooked half the time, all right, your offense was cooking

446
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,799
on Saturday. What stood out to you the most about

447
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:40,119
the overall performance Ky?

448
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,559
Speaker 11: The twenty two assists?

449
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,559
Speaker 10: You know, I thought, uh, you know, we really there

450
00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:46,799
was a couple of things we wanted to highlight or

451
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:50,559
I should say emphasize coming into this game or and

452
00:21:50,599 --> 00:21:53,640
the number one thing offensively was just playing with the past.

453
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 11: More in transition.

454
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,519
Speaker 10: So that was the most we call him kick aheads

455
00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:00,160
that we've had in the game this year, and subsequently

456
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,519
had the most fast break points with twenty nine fast

457
00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:05,039
break points. Easier to do when you're getting stops, obviously,

458
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,119
and then twenty two assist.

459
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 11: You know, that's more how you know we want to play?

460
00:22:09,559 --> 00:22:11,319
And I thought the guys were really good there.

461
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 4: The distribution of the basketball, the unselfish nature, the extra pass.

462
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,640
It's good, better best basketball, as I like to say,

463
00:22:20,079 --> 00:22:24,519
that's what it was showcase now by you. Completely is

464
00:22:24,519 --> 00:22:27,119
is way more talented than U see riverside.

465
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 5: I mean just just.

466
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: Not even close. And the resources are not on anywhere

467
00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:36,640
near the equivalent footing. So you expect the dominant performance,

468
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,599
but the only did what they needed to and you

469
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,720
saw a ton of unselfish basketball. My god, just so

470
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:45,559
much unselfish basketball. And I love that. That's what you

471
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:46,880
want to see. You don't want to see a bunch

472
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,880
of ISO basketball. You want to see distribution, cohesion, chemistry, selflessness,

473
00:22:54,079 --> 00:22:58,160
we not me type of execution. And that's what we're

474
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,960
seeing right now now and off the bench, right the

475
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,160
biggest question mark right now is rotation. It's bench play,

476
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,960
it's productivity coming off the bench, and with injuries, you know,

477
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,119
presenting themselves early in the season, you're like, all right,

478
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,200
who do I trust?

479
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 5: Season high and bench points on Saturday?

480
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,279
Speaker 4: What did you like about the production specifically from election coasting?

481
00:23:19,519 --> 00:23:24,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know it's funny if you go ahead, so OKK,

482
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,680
why my bad? No, that's my bad.

483
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 8: The numbers and stats on this team is if you

484
00:23:33,319 --> 00:23:36,359
go by just straight points, you obviously have aj Ritchie

485
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,319
Robin Cannard there at the top, yeah, and then you

486
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,279
have Keba right there. But we're not expecting a ton

487
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:42,799
of points from Keba because his presence is more felt

488
00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:45,400
defensively and just being a presence down on the block.

489
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:48,680
Then you so you basically dropped from Canard Davis who's

490
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,799
scoring nine points a game, who, by the way, he

491
00:23:50,839 --> 00:23:53,079
missed a bunch of games, so he's down also to

492
00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:56,920
Alexi who's down at four. Like there's a major drop off.

493
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,160
It's almost a cliff in points on this team. So

494
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:02,920
to see Alexi show up the way that he did

495
00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:05,200
and a couple other guys Mahilo got a couple buckets,

496
00:24:05,279 --> 00:24:08,440
Dominique got a couple buckets. Like the way you are

497
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,000
headed into conference play is not going to sustain itself.

498
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 5: With what you had coming into yesterday.

499
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 8: Now, given what they did against UC Riverside, that gives

500
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,160
you a lot of hope. And Kevin Young said in

501
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,400
his Sports Nation interview, he said he thought Alexi scored

502
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,400
the ball so well because he played so many minutes

503
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,279
and He's like, I feel like I've kind of not

504
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,400
given him as many minutes, so I haven't given as

505
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,200
many times to really put the.

506
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 5: Ball in the basket.

507
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,319
Speaker 8: And it's kind of a chicken and an egg conversation

508
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,440
like is he not scoring because he doesn't have as

509
00:24:35,559 --> 00:24:38,200
much time or is he not having enough time so

510
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,119
he doesn't score as much?

511
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 5: I don't know.

512
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,559
Speaker 8: However, the stats on this team tell the story of

513
00:24:43,759 --> 00:24:46,839
there was a real cliff on this team in terms

514
00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:49,599
of points scored, in production that way. So to see

515
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,039
Alexi and these guys show up, it was almost a musty,

516
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,359
like it had to happen in this game really for

517
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,920
you to start putting it into a rhythm.

518
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 5: Going into conference.

519
00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:00,319
Speaker 4: Ronald was in attendance, and we'll get to the sound

520
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:03,839
by here momentarily. Roll how many of these three point

521
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,200
shots were contested and or semi contested or they just

522
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:10,839
wide open? Because there's a difference, right, I'll qualifight you're

523
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,839
at home, and if they're completely uncontested, I don't. I'm

524
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,880
not bought it yet, is what I'm getting. I'm not

525
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,759
sold yet. You gota to prove to me. But what

526
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,799
percentage were you know, contested semi contested because it didn't

527
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:24,920
seem like UC Riversar was playing a whole lot of defense.

528
00:25:25,319 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 7: Uh No, I'd say forty percent of them were contested, right.

529
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,160
He had a couple of wide open looks, but I

530
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,000
mean that's due to the nature of AJ two then Ben,

531
00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:36,440
so yes, wide open in that regard of AJ's drawing attention.

532
00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:39,160
But the problem was what the shooter had been and

533
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,160
I've seen this before, was when he got going and

534
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,200
then when they stepped up, like he pulled one in

535
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,359
the guy's face and it didn't matter right, Like he

536
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,599
pulled it quickly, And that's what happens with shooters like

537
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,799
Trevor Neil. Remember the Cincinnati game years ago, when Bo

538
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,720
opened up Big Twelve Conference play, he was wide open.

539
00:25:54,799 --> 00:25:56,240
But then when they tried to come at that point,

540
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,839
the basketball was as big as a hoop, you know,

541
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:58,519
like a hula hoop.

542
00:25:58,559 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 6: So it doesn't matter.

543
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 7: So we're contested a sixty percent wide open, but still

544
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,039
it doesn't matter. You need him to gain confidence Ben

545
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,119
in whatever way, because I'll be honest, he didn't have

546
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:07,799
any because.

547
00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 6: He was missing shots. So this is a good builder.

548
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,279
Speaker 7: Now you need to hit contested shots because like I

549
00:26:12,319 --> 00:26:15,400
told Brett, you know earlier this morning before the show,

550
00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:18,039
you can do it in non conference against sub level

551
00:26:18,079 --> 00:26:20,000
Quad three and Quad four talent. Can you do it

552
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,359
against premier high level QUAHD one Quad two games and

553
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,039
Division one talent in the Big twelve?

554
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 6: We'll find out in a couple of weeks.

555
00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:30,599
Speaker 4: So season high in bench points. What do you like

556
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,400
about the production, especially from coasting.

557
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,559
Speaker 10: Basket ball in the basket right we talk about a lot.

558
00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:40,920
I mean, it's a shot making is a beautiful thing.

559
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,400
I mean, that's that's why we brought him here. We

560
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:47,920
felt like it was a matter of time before he

561
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,039
was able to have a game like he had tonight.

562
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,960
But when Dawson went down, I mean, he was a

563
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,359
guy that you know, he's kind of a hybrid between

564
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,920
like Trevin from last year in Dawson because you can't

565
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,000
play with the ball a little bit more off the dribble,

566
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,799
and if he can do that, man, that's gonna be

567
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,799
obviously a huge weapon for us.

568
00:27:05,799 --> 00:27:07,759
Speaker 11: Especially when we sub rob out. He can do that

569
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:09,960
next to a j I like that pairing.

570
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,839
Speaker 4: A combo between Dawson and Trevin. I think that, I mean,

571
00:27:18,519 --> 00:27:21,799
it's a great combo to have because good ball handler.

572
00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:25,279
Speaker 5: You know, is he a primary point guard?

573
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 10: No?

574
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,559
Speaker 4: You know, but he's he's good. He's good enough. He's

575
00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:33,039
got some good length to him, good height. He's like,

576
00:27:33,079 --> 00:27:34,200
what is he listed at?

577
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,839
Speaker 5: Six three sixty four? What's Alexi listed at? I think

578
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,200
that that's where he's at.

579
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 4: So he's kind of in between those two anyway. But

580
00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:46,160
I mean Dawson's actually a pretty good yeah, six' to,

581
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,039
four So, alexi's, uh six to.

582
00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:51,799
Speaker 5: Four SO i like that COMP i really.

583
00:27:51,799 --> 00:27:54,519
Speaker 4: Do if you can get the combo Of trevin And

584
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:58,920
dawson Through, alexi, shoot not so much of a drop

585
00:27:58,960 --> 00:27:59,440

702
00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:28,920
SEE i was feeling about this bya basketball, team like

703
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:30,920
the one question THAT i had at the end of

704
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,920
it all, okay and we can put this out. THERE

705
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,799
i ACTUALLY i put it out after the, game but

706
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:40,680
we'll discuss it. Here who do you trust right?

707
00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 5: Now coming off the? Bench how deep is the? Rotation

708
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:43,400
what is the?

709
00:33:43,559 --> 00:33:46,279
Speaker 4: Rotation what do you think like when we get into

710
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,279
like when we're gonna get into Like, February, like what

711
00:33:50,519 --> 00:33:52,119
do you think the rotation is gonna look?

712
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,519
Speaker 5: Like last? Year we thought last. Year i'll give you an.

713
00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:56,839
Speaker 4: Example we thought the rotation would be whittled down to

714
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,640
like seven or. Eight it actually expanded to like, eleven

715
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,160
eleven dudes getting minutes and they were all playing high level.

716
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 5: Minutes it was.

717
00:34:03,839 --> 00:34:08,519
Speaker 4: Fantastic what will this year's rotation look? Like maybe the

718
00:34:08,599 --> 00:34:12,119
opposite of, That maybe the. Opposite maybe it's it's, more it's.

719
00:34:12,039 --> 00:34:13,679
Speaker 5: A little bit. Tighter we'll see how it plays. Out

720
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,000
but kwat you talk about.

721
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:19,039
Speaker 4: Consistency for the second game in a, row the defense

722
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:21,960
gave up twenty one points in The was it the

723
00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:24,280
first half that they give up in the second?

724
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 5: Half what do you attribute that?

725
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 11: To, yeah it's been, good you, KNOW i THINK i

726
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:32,519
gotta give up just so much credit to my. Staff

727
00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:36,079
those guys are dialed in on the defensive.

728
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:38,639
Speaker 10: Details we've done a lot more defensive work this year

729
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,320
Than i've ever, done quite, frankly in practices and drilling

730
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,800
and technique and things of that. Nature so it's starting

731
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,880
to pay. OFF i thought in the first half there

732
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,039
was probably six to nine points that we gave up

733
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:51,920
that we shouldn't have given, up so it could have

734
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:52,320
been even.

735
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 11: Better BUT i just think our guys are really buying

736
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,639
into what we're asking them to do on that end of.

737
00:34:56,599 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 4: The, floor buying, in buying in right now on on the,

738
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,400
defense so of what helps right defense turns into. Offense

739
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:08,119
you get, stops get into, transition and hopefully get some

740
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:14,840
open looks in. Transition love WHAT i saw obviously not

741
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,599
a not a great test at, home but kind of

742
00:35:18,679 --> 00:35:21,000
a warm up game to get back into. It why

743
00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:30,039
because and he'll get into, this that road trip was, tough, tough, exhausting, great, fantastic, marvelous,

744
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:30,760
wonderful but.

745
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 5: Exhausting so we'll get to that here.

746
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 4: Momentarily but, uh how, actually let's can we go to

747
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,039
number eleven real, Quick, ronnie just because we were talking about,

748
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:43,320
this can we go right to number?

749
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,639
Speaker 5: Eleven all, right let's go to let's go to eleven.

750
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 4: Four games in eleven. Days how do you plan on managing?

751
00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 10: That you, know tonight was good in terms of being

752
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,360
able to have bench guys coming and, produce so we'd

753
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,519
have to play the starters at as many.

754
00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 11: Minutes but it's more for.

755
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 10: Us you, know if you, note if you're really you,

756
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,039
know paying attention, tonight like we played the team a

757
00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:07,519
lot more at the, four you.

758
00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 5: Know and he was.

759
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 10: Great you, know he's, statistically he's had bigger numbers at

760
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,719
the four and SO i think looking at different things

761
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,280
is is gonna be something we're trying to do in this.

762
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,719
Timeframe but in terms of like managing the load and so,

763
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,119
forth our our medical guys and our strength coach does

764
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:31,920
a great job of kind of using all the data

765
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,800
and so forth to keep us in the right space

766
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,719
with not overdoing it with these, guys And i'll lean

767
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:37,280
on them for that.

768
00:36:38,159 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 5: Well so a little bit of a, grind you, know

769
00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:42,679
on the on the road.

770
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,639
Speaker 4: Trip and now you're getting into you know, this there's

771
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:47,719
four games of eleven, games so load management is going

772
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,679
to be. Critical but let's get into what the road

773
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:54,440
was like for this. Team it had been about a

774
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:55,960
month since you had played in The Bear. Center do

775
00:36:56,039 --> 00:36:58,280
you do you think being back home contributed to maybe

776
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,760
a faster start and and and what do you make of?

777
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 10: That for? Sure you, KNOW i, THINK i mean this

778
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,760
this place always has, energy and that trip To New

779
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,800
york was, great but it was, exhausting you, know we

780
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,760
felt like we were there. Forever, honestly we had a you,

781
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,400
know pretty exhausting day the day after the game and

782
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:18,559
long flight and everything like.

783
00:37:18,639 --> 00:37:23,039
Speaker 11: That so it took us an hour or forty minutes

784
00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:24,559
to get to the airport and then.

785
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 10: We had a five hour of whatever. Flights it's a long.

786
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,400
Day SO i was honestly a little worried, about you,

787
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:34,039
know let down getting back, home just in terms of

788
00:37:34,159 --> 00:37:36,320
like letting our guard. Down but that was clearly not the.

789
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 11: Case so kudos to the guys to.

790
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 4: Responding shout out to the, guys because, look those road

791
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,280
trips can be.

792
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 5: Growing he knows because he's been THE.

793
00:37:49,519 --> 00:37:54,119
Speaker 4: Nba these these college basketball, players they're not they're not

794
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:55,000
accustomed to.

795
00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:58,119
Speaker 5: This they're just not accustomed to. It so that was

796
00:37:58,159 --> 00:37:59,000
pretty grueling for.

797
00:37:59,199 --> 00:38:02,599
Speaker 4: Them and so having a little warm up In Uce

798
00:38:02,679 --> 00:38:06,679
riverside is probably pretty. Beneficial now you Have pacific, tomorrow

799
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:11,880
then you have Applein Christian, friday and Then Eastern washington

800
00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:16,280
On december twenty second before you get Into big twelve.

801
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 5: Plays so it's a nice lead in to conference.

802
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 4: PLAY i would say getting back into the swing of

803
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:26,079
things and getting dialed in and having some ease on

804
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,760
the schedule should BE i think all these should be

805
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,159
blowout similar or akin to that you See riverstard. Game

806
00:38:32,199 --> 00:38:33,920
your thoughts bred always bringing the hammer.

807
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:34,639
Speaker 5: Yeah one hundred.

808
00:38:34,639 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 8: Percent but this kind of harkens back to something we

809
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,440
Heard Kevin young say during the offseason and last, season

810
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:44,639
which is THESE i realized they haven't played a lot

811
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,079
at home, recently especially given The Terry Chocolate, Invitational Madison

812
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:51,920
Square garden, game The wisconsin game up In Salt, lake

813
00:38:52,199 --> 00:38:54,239
which not as bad a travel but still not on

814
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,320
your home. Floor but To Kevin young's, point like we've

815
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,519
heard him say, this we want to be playing tournament

816
00:39:00,679 --> 00:39:03,159
environments and guess, what playing at the.

817
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 5: Home playing at, home that's not a tournament tournament.

818
00:39:06,039 --> 00:39:08,559
Speaker 8: Environment you know how many big twelve tournament games you're

819
00:39:08,559 --> 00:39:11,519
gonna be playing in The Merritt center. Zero so to

820
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:16,079
be able to handle business on the road in those

821
00:39:16,119 --> 00:39:19,800
tournament environments and not allow that to cost you in

822
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,119
the games that you're supposed to win is a huge, deal.

823
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,199
Speaker 5: No doubt about.

824
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 10: It.

825

828
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,000

829
00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:44,079
Games And i'm looking at the, rotation, guys you know

830
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,920
it's it's really fun to watch the. Rotation let's get

831
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,679
into number. Ten SO i want you to think about

832
00:39:49,679 --> 00:39:51,320
the rotation when you think it's gonna be whittled down

833
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,239
With ronnie and And. Brett number. Ten here we Saw

834
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,440

836
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,079
the plan for him AND? kJ could they play this?

837
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,360

838
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,039
Speaker 10: Details there's a lot that goes into it as of finding.

839
00:40:10,079 --> 00:40:12,239

840
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:17,719

879
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,280
job And Coach burgess has known both of those guys

880
00:42:32,039 --> 00:42:33,920
a lot longer than the rest of us. Have but

881
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,480
definitely great fits for the. PROGRAM kJ, perry he'll actually

882
00:42:39,519 --> 00:42:44,400
get in here next, week had followed him since he

883
00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:47,400
was in high school At Gilbert High. School then he

884
00:42:47,519 --> 00:42:51,039
moved over To palisades In california and just kind of

885
00:42:51,079 --> 00:42:54,679
followed his trajectory and when he got to junior college

886
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,239
level and saw what he was able to do At

887
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,719
citrus one of the best junior college pro In california

888
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,679
and frankly in the. Country they've got a coach THAT

889
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,000
i used to coach against WHEN i was coaching In.

890
00:43:07,159 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: NAI i was At Arizona Christian.

891
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 12: University he was At Concorded university In irvine and has

892
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,920
always done a great. Job AND i think his, athleticism his,

893
00:43:18,199 --> 00:43:21,360
upside the way he approaches the. GAME i think he

894
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,599
has a chance to be really, good and he's very

895
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,760
humble and wants to get.

896
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,519
Speaker 1: Better so we're really looking forward to adding.

897
00:43:29,639 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 12: Him he'll sit out this year this semester and then

898
00:43:32,039 --> 00:43:35,199
be ready to go next, year BUT i think he'll

899
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:35,599
add to.

900
00:43:35,639 --> 00:43:37,519
Speaker 1: Our practices quite a. BIT i think one are the

901
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,800
big things that really helped us last.

902
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 12: YEAR i, mean we had twelve or thirteen guys who

903
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,280
were just they weren't too far, off and so our

904
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,599
practices were always so. Competitive and it's been the case

905
00:43:48,639 --> 00:43:51,639
this year as. Well but With dawson going, out With

906
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:56,400
Nate pickens going, out With brody not being, in we've

907
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,800
struggled a little bit in, practice just with. Depth SO

908
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:01,960
i think he's gonna he's definitely gonna add to that

909
00:44:02,159 --> 00:44:06,679
and be able to TO uh show when he's on

910
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,559
the scout, team show what some of these other PROGRAMS

911
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,280
uh can do when we're when we're preparing for, guys

912
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,079
he gives us a quick athletic h and explosive guard

913
00:44:16,119 --> 00:44:18,559
and then Obviously Abdullah, med.

914
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:19,679
Speaker 1: Huge pickup for.

915
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:24,199
Speaker 12: Us he's been here for about three or four weeks

916
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,920
uh in the in The Pro bowl. Area now we

917
00:44:27,079 --> 00:44:29,800
haven't had been able to work with him or do

918
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,760
anything like. That he's kind of been working out on his.

919
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,519
Own but a big, body great, experience and again a

920
00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:39,480
guy who will add a lot of depth and practice

921
00:44:39,599 --> 00:44:43,960
and very, physical very, skilled and he'll be able to

922
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:45,440
provide a great.

923
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,199
Speaker 1: Look for our guys in preparation for.

924
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 4: Games so like the question one of the POLLS i

925
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,519
put out today is, like do you think that BU

926
00:44:53,559 --> 00:44:57,840
a basketball will have to Play Abdullah ahmed AND kJ?

927
00:44:58,039 --> 00:45:00,719
Perry sounds LIKE kJ is going to be red shirted this,

928
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,239
year no chance of him, playing SO k why was

929
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:04,480
in discussion?

930
00:45:04,519 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 5: Here? Now now that's not to, SAY i, mean, look

931
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,000
if we have An edther injury on.

932
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:13,599
Speaker 4: The guard, line heaven, Forbid heaven, forbid like knock on,

933
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,599
anything you, know fake, wood real, wood, plastic some. Composite

934
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,440
like who's to say that they wouldn't be, available, right

935
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:23,280
but they have to get.

936
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 5: Eligible.

937
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,199
Speaker 4: IMAGINE i Remember Matt carlino came in and was a

938
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,760
mid year and FROM, ucla AND i think he was

939
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:34,039
able to play and was was you, know CLEARED i

940
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:36,519
think Into. January so it has happened in the past

941
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,119
and it could happen in the, present but it sounds

942
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,360
like plan right now is not to play.

943
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:44,679
Speaker 5: kJ he's gonna be your scout team.

944
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 4: Guy Abdullah, ahmed, though would he be a guy that

945
00:45:48,639 --> 00:45:51,360
dau needs down the? Stretch that's a big seven, footer

946
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:52,480
almost seven footer right.

947
00:45:52,519 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 8: There, Yeah and AGAIN i think the question to really

948
00:45:56,559 --> 00:46:00,440
diagnose this that you have to ask is what about

949
00:46:00,519 --> 00:46:01,599
the rotation do they?

950
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 5: Need is it three point? Production is it someone to

951
00:46:06,519 --> 00:46:08,679
manage the offense while your guys are on the. Bench

952
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:09,239
what is?

953
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 8: It and For ahmed to, PLAY i think your problem

954
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:20,519
needs to be your front, court WHICH i don't really

955
00:46:20,679 --> 00:46:26,320
see a massive issue with because of What aj is capable.

956
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,079
Doing we know What keba is and then obviously you Have,

957
00:46:31,559 --> 00:46:34,480
kadeem who to, me, like if we're ranking guys in the,

958
00:46:34,559 --> 00:46:37,440
rotation who we, trust to, me number one is Ka Kadeem.

959
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 5: Boop that's number one to.

960
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 8: ME i was Telling ron this, MORNING i think he's

961
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,000
The Dennis rodman of this bou basketball, team where he just.

962
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 5: He doesn't care if he's scoring a.

963
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 8: Basket he doesn't care if he's getting a, rebound he

964
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:49,800
doesn't care if he's playing.

965
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,079
Speaker 5: Defense as long as he's playing. Basketball he's happy to be.

966
00:46:53,199 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 8: Contributing SO i Think kadeem is number one in terms

967
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,039
of guys off the rotation THAT i. Trust BUT i

968
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:02,079
do wonder, like and this is SOMETHING i want to ask, You, Ron,

969
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:06,519
like we Know xavion was a big time recruit coming.

970
00:47:06,599 --> 00:47:08,960
IN i think bau fans are a little spoiled because

971
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,199
you got the number one overall and he's playing the

972
00:47:11,599 --> 00:47:14,480
number one recruit AND aj Debotsa SO i think fans'

973
00:47:14,519 --> 00:47:17,480
minds go, to, Well zavion was the top hundred guy as,

974
00:47:17,519 --> 00:47:20,119
well so shouldn't we be seeing more from? Him AND

975
00:47:20,199 --> 00:47:22,360
i guess that's that's the first THING i want to ask, You,

976
00:47:22,519 --> 00:47:26,719
ron because you are the basketball, Guru, like what's reasonable

977
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,320
for us to be expecting Of xavion right? Now do

978
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,039
you feel like he's under for? Performing is he's where

979
00:47:32,079 --> 00:47:34,440
he's supposed to. Be is he going to get better this?

980
00:47:34,559 --> 00:47:36,199
Season or is it gonna be kind of a long

981
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:36,800
haul thing with?

982
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 7: Him, YEAH i think you're gonna have to answer your, Question.

983
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,960
Brett you're gonna have to wait a couple of uh

984
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,159
maybe months for it to. DEVELOP i don't think it's

985
00:47:44,159 --> 00:47:46,320
gonna be this. Season, Right he's come in and you've

986
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,320
seen what it's. Been he's a little bit more. Raw

987
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,039
you've had THE cbs people twenty four to seven sports

988
00:47:51,039 --> 00:47:53,599
but says the upside is, there but a little bit more.

989
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:58,119
Raw abdullah's already. There and the WHAT i was gonna

990
00:47:58,119 --> 00:47:59,719
bring In Ben if you're looking for a, guy As

991
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,960
i'm went back and watched his film and his, tape

992
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,840
a guy that can roll to the basket and attack

993
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,519
it the way he, needs That's, abdula like when you

994
00:48:06,599 --> 00:48:08,760
think of shot Blocking caba when he goes to the.

995
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,519
Speaker 6: Bench and If kadem were to get in foul, Trouble

996
00:48:10,599 --> 00:48:12,760
i'm telling you go Watch abdula's. Tape is what you

997
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:13,880
Expect xavian to.

998
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,679
Speaker 7: Do so there's a chance Of doulah could play like,

999
00:48:18,159 --> 00:48:20,239
Right and, Yeah boots is not a, five he's a.

1000
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,559
Speaker 6: Four we're talking about that to, five, right And kiba

1001
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:23,199
is playing a.

1002
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,559
Speaker 7: Five so If keba gets in foul trouble or goes

1003
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:27,199
to the, bench or you have to Put kadem and

1004
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,039
you go small ball and he gets in foul. Trouble

1005
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,320
look been anything's possible in The big. Twelve we've seen

1006
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,440
a bunch of. Lineups you want to have another body.

1007
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,320
Available AND i just think right, now with how they're

1008
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,480
coaching up x and the, DEVELOPMENT i Think abdulah haven't

1009
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,079
playing in THE G, league is already. There xavier needs

1010
00:48:41,119 --> 00:48:42,719
to develop a little bit. More SO i think that's

1011
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,760
why they're gonna try to push that. Process AND i

1012
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,679
don't think it's the wrong. DECISION i think it's the right.

1013
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,880
Way with how he, rolls how he, rebounds he's a

1014
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,679
rim runner as. Well he can get score in the,

1015
00:48:51,679 --> 00:48:54,519
paint he can. Rebound so right, NOW i think With brett's,

1016
00:48:54,559 --> 00:48:56,360
point IF i had to think of the rotation deep

1017
00:48:57,079 --> 00:49:00,599
Into march When ba went on that amazing run last,

1018
00:49:00,679 --> 00:49:03,000
year if it came down to, it and if he

1019
00:49:03,079 --> 00:49:04,800
got if he got to prove been to play this,

1020
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,760
season THEN i think you're gonna have. Him he can

1021
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,199
post up really, well SO i would not be surprised

1022
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,159
In march if he got. Cleared If abdullahmed you, know

1023
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,840
was not in the, ROTATION i think that's a.

1024
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 4: Possibility, Yeah so this is my conclusion right. NOW i

1025
00:49:17,039 --> 00:49:21,119
trust six guys on this, TEAM i trust Aj Keba, Canard,

1026
00:49:22,199 --> 00:49:26,199
ritchie Rob wright And hadim That that's Where i'm. At

1027
00:49:27,559 --> 00:49:30,559
the jury's still out For costick in my, opinion BECAUSE

1028
00:49:30,599 --> 00:49:32,599
i saw early on when he got, here like the

1029
00:49:32,679 --> 00:49:35,840
handle was a little bit sloppy when pressured with length

1030
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,039
and athleticism versus his own. Team, Right, yeah he can,

1031
00:49:39,119 --> 00:49:42,639
shoot but, like has he gone through the refinding. Fire

1032
00:49:42,679 --> 00:49:44,719
the reason why you Like dawson is, because, man he

1033
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:50,000
played so much freaking, basketball played so much ball before

1034
00:49:50,079 --> 00:49:52,760
arriving at. Me has a hand three years and he's

1035
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,360
got a, handle and he can, shoot and he and

1036
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,519
when he's, healthy he actually does have some good. Acceleration

1037
00:49:59,639 --> 00:50:01,360
he's not the most athletic, guy but he's got some

1038
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,480
good Succeed he's got good size and.

1039
00:50:05,159 --> 00:50:06,079
Speaker 5: Just to he's.

1040
00:50:06,199 --> 00:50:08,119
Speaker 4: Refined, Right he's not gonna turn the ball over to

1041
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,079
full court. Press footwork is a big time, game you

1042
00:50:11,159 --> 00:50:14,199
know WHAT i. Mean, Like, so to, me the jury's

1043
00:50:14,199 --> 00:50:17,840
still out On. Alexi seems Like tyler's lost a little

1044
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:22,079
bit of you, know, whatever whatever the reason why he

1045
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,000
was brought, in he's lost it a little. Bit dominique

1046
00:50:25,079 --> 00:50:27,079
is a project to me right, now he could get

1047
00:50:27,119 --> 00:50:27,639
better Come.

1048
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,079
Speaker 5: February he could be better Come.

1049
00:50:29,159 --> 00:50:32,679
Speaker 4: FEBRUARY i trust six guys AND i Think i'm gonna

1050
00:50:32,679 --> 00:50:35,559
trust the seventh With abdullah right.

1051
00:50:35,639 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 5: Now that's WHAT I i.

1052
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,159
Speaker 4: Know and without even Seeing, abuild you just pull up

1053
00:50:40,199 --> 00:50:43,960
his tape experience of the Gle he's a five and

1054
00:50:44,039 --> 00:50:44,679
we're gonna need a.

1055
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 5: Five back it Up Keva ageriod AND i think period

1056
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:48,519
he is the seventh.

1057
00:50:48,559 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 7: Guy, MAN i trust and look UNTIL i see a

1058
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,639
last BECAUSE i Told brett this morning. Too tyler to,

1059
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,920
me and this may be, harsh has worked himself out

1060
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,840
of the. Rotation diamonde defensively on what he provides and

1061
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,320
getting to the free throw line is trustworthy now getting

1062
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,320
more minutes Than. Tyler So tyler's gonna have to showcase

1063
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,760
when it. Happens But Ben abdullah's the, seventh AND i

1064
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:07,800
Think kosach And dominique can be your eight and, nine

1065
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,039
depending if people get in foul. Trouble that's WHAT i

1066
00:51:10,079 --> 00:51:13,159
would say the rotation would be getting Into January. February

1067
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,079
tyler right now has to prove. It but right now

1068
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:16,000
he's the odd man.

1069
00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 5: Out, ben and, HONESTLY i need to see more From

1070
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:19,800
mihilo Bucket.

1071
00:51:19,639 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 6: Vich likelo's on that way, Too, Ben, yeah like he has.

1072
00:51:23,039 --> 00:51:25,519
Speaker 4: Not improved enough, Now, grant he had a decent game

1073
00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:28,000
five points two or three for one for one from

1074
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,039
the three point lie and we did see improvement By.

1075
00:51:31,079 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 5: February And march From mihilo and he got some minutes

1076
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:34,280
when it.

1077
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,119
Speaker 4: Counted So i'm not going to completely erase him off

1078
00:51:37,199 --> 00:51:40,679
of my trust factor just. Yet but he's flirtatious with,

1079
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,480
me like he's so right. NOW i think those are

1080
00:51:44,519 --> 00:51:47,920
the seven THAT i, Like boop and Then abdullah and

1081
00:51:48,079 --> 00:51:51,159
then there's a competition right. Now alexi's got to step,

1082
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,920
Up mahalo's got to step, up And dominique has to

1083
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:59,159
step up BECAUSE kJ not going to be. Involved Per Brandon.

1084
00:51:59,199 --> 00:52:01,920
Dunson that's your rotation right. Now what do you make of?
