our first guest of the show, we have Casey Luglas

25
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:14,040
representing VAUSI dot com. Casey, thanks for joining me today.

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, how's it going going good?

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,159
Speaker 2: I can't complain. Look, I know it's basketball season, but

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,879
it's always football season in the state of Utah here

29
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,319
on ESPN the Fan on Couper Sports, springball is a

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,760
month away. BYU added some mid year editions, just one

31
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:33,799
to first get your thoughts on the midyear editions and

32
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:36,640
the roster now the bou has that we'll see in

33
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,359
about a month or so.

34
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,719
Speaker 1: I think they've done a really good job constructing this roster.

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,480
Anytime you can win twelve games and then return pretty

36
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:50,879
much every key player that was eligible to return, you

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,560
do lose some key seniors like Jack Kelly Tanner Wall.

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,159
I think those guys will be hard to replace. But

39
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:03,239
you have the people on the roster now that could

40
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,439
potentially replace those two. So when you know, go eleven

41
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:10,800
to one, make the big twelve championship, and then you

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,199
bring pretty much everyone back from that team, and then

43
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:18,479
you add a few players that could potentially maybe take

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,719
this team to that next step. I think you have

45
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,000
to feel really good about where By's roster stands. It's

46
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,319
not perfect, obviously, but as it stands in February, it's

47
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,680
kind of weird. We haven't been able to project rosters

48
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:37,919
this early on in the offseason. That's usually a May

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,560
or June activity after the spring transfer window, but since

50
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:44,479
there's only one window this year, we're kind of getting

51
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,479
an idea for what BYU is going to look like

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,080
for spring camp and then for the season in the fall.

53
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: Question on the window, do you like the one window?

54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,199
Your thoughts and that I know that's something that they

55
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,080
recently changed.

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,439
Speaker 1: I think one window makes sense just because the last

57
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:07,120
few years have been so hectic. With that being said,

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,680
I still I don't know what the perfect calendar is.

59
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:15,759
The calendar doesn't make sense to me with the window

60
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,280
not opening until January. I get that because there's still

61
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,280
bull games going on, but at the same time, you've

62
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:25,159
got semesters starting, so it feels like it just crammed

63
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:28,639
everything into a two or three week period. So maybe

64
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:32,879
Nick Saban's suggestion of one spring transfer window is ultimately

65
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:36,280
the best place where it could land. On one hand,

66
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,319
I do think that would penalize teams that bring in

67
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,199
transfers because they wouldn't be able to acclimate those transfers

68
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,240
during springball. On the other hand, maybe that's kind of

69
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,159
a way to encourage more roster retention because everyone knows

70
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:55,000
that that's lacking in college football, and maybe if you

71
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,800
can even ratchet up what kind of an advantage that

72
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,639
can be for your team, then maybe it would incentivize

73
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,759
coaches to keep a few more players around that maybe

74
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:09,560
they're letting loose in December and January in order to

75
00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:11,759
find a player from another school.

76
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:14,639
Speaker 2: I like the point that you bring up about springbolld

77
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:17,639
incentivizing players. You see what BYU is able to do

78
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,680
with the continuity and retention. I definitely think it would

79
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,000
force coaches, So who knows, maybe it might it might not,

80
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,639
but I like that, but it could also penalize, Like

81
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,519
you said, that's a good thought. We're here with Casey

82
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,480
Lunquist representing BAUSI dot Com here on ESPN the Fan

83
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,040
of Cougar Sports on this Thursday, February fifth edition depth charts.

84
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,680
You said they were not able to really predict that

85
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,720
till May or June. Was the prediction depth chart at

86
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:44,680
running back saw you pin to piece by. You got

87
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,399
a guy back in Makai beck Stead back from a mission.

88
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,279
What do you like about what he adds to the

89
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,879
running back room? That was where BAU I think lacked

90
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:52,959
the most depth last season.

91
00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:57,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm certainly not breaking news when I say LJ

92
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:02,279
will start. That's that's what we. LJ will be the guy,

93
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,920
and I think BYU and LJ Alike, I think they're

94
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:10,560
going to push LJ to to try to break the

95
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,000
all time rushing record at b YU. I do think,

96
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:16,240
you know, obviously winning games is priority, but I do

97
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:18,959
think that's going to be a goal for BYU this season.

98
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:24,959
Behind LJ Martin, I think it's wide open. I think

99
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,399
going into last year that was job and then he

100
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,680
was unable to go. And not only was he unable

101
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,480
to go, but he suffered a pretty devastating injury and

102
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,560
depending on who you talk to, that that can take

103
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,399
a long time to recover from. So I would still

104
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,000
say is the favorite to back up LJ Martin. But

105
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,120
just yesterday Aaron Rodericks said he would not be surprised

106
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,600
if Devon Ekka makes an instant impact as a true freshman.

107
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:58,079
He ran for three thousand yards at Lehigh. He's been

108
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,839
one of the best running backs in the state the

109
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,519
last few years. He's enrolled now in January, and he

110
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,439
will have the advantage of participating in spring ball. So

111
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,000
I think he's the name to watch. And then I'll obviously, uh,

112
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:12,560
Jovessa de Mooney got some run there in the bowl

113
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,199
game as well. I still see him more as you know,

114
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,720
kind of a specialty back with his ability to catch

115
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:23,000
out of the backfield, and where he had the most

116
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,560
success in that bowl game was kind of as the

117
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,240
running back on a speed option. So I think in

118
00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:34,720
those kind of situations are probably best for Jovesa. But

119
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,759
if I had the guest today, I would I would

120
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,120
say lj then Cione. But I think Devon Ekka is

121
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,160
probably going to at least make it interesting.

122
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: Yah heard from another person who joined our show. Came in.

123
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,240
I think in like one eighty two into b he's

124
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,000
one ninety one right now, so he's already put on

125
00:06:55,399 --> 00:06:59,240
lean mussel. That's a guy that jamal Or Williams, former

126
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,959
Uyu run back as raved about. So that's think that's

127
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,959
a guy everybody has their eye on because last year

128
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,680
the running back room Baron LJ. I'll just be honest,

129
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,120
I don't know if you could run that again and

130
00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:10,480
try to win a big toial title and get to

131
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:11,519
the college fotball playoffs.

132
00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna need depth there and staying on the.

133
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,319
Speaker 2: Top of a debt. Where's the role do you see?

134
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,199
Maybe for Preston Rex, they raped about him in fall camp.

135
00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:19,800
I remember you being down there. We were in the

136
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:22,600
huddles and he got dinged up and it just seemed

137
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,000
like he never really found his place.

138
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Preston, and I failed to mention Preston. I think

139
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:32,959
he'll probably be in the mix there as well like

140
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,519
he was last year. He would probably to me, I

141
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,120
think he's kind of been in the description that I

142
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:42,839
just had for Joe Vessa de Moony, kind of a

143
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,680
receiving running back. I don't know that he'll ever be

144
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,800
a guy that is really comfortable running between the tackles.

145
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:52,959
He didn't do that in high school. He was a

146
00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:56,439
safety and a wide receiver. So while he did play

147
00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:59,319
on both sides and in high school he did not.

148
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,360
He did not ever play running back, so I would

149
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:06,120
say he's probably you know, third or fourth in there

150
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:09,439
kind of by Devon Ekka. But is in terms of

151
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,639
just being able to hand a ball to a back

152
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:16,800
and giving them the full playbook at theitter disposal, I

153
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,279
think Eka probably probably is is that to be option

154
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:25,079
right behind Sione Mo. Yeah.

155
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: I like what Pruss and Rex bring. We'll see what

156
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,560
he's able to do springball, faul camp, see how healthy

157
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,720
guys are coming back, definitely once we get to March.

158
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,519
Let's go now to obviously the additions that by you adds.

159
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:41,440
We talked about retention, Katie Luave, Walker Lyons, Roberts, Yellapinga.

160
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:45,120
Who is the best transfer that BYU has added? We

161
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:48,039
had the debate yesterday. Your thoughts on the matter. I

162
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,879
like what Kate brings. I think he can give you

163
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:51,639
what Jack Kelly can give you, even though I think

164
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,080
Nucy will be in that role maybe a little bit more,

165
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,200
because I mean he's a number one lineback out of

166
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,159
the portal. But by you need a tight end like

167
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,480
walker Lyon and he can elevate the offense.

168
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: What say you, Casey, Yeah, I like a lot of

169
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,480
the transfers they brought in. Klanie mentioned it yesterday. Their

170
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:15,240
foundation is going to be on high school recruiting and

171
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:19,720
player development, and I think that is long term the

172
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:24,159
best way for BYU to sustain sustain long term success.

173
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,440
And I think the ratio that they found this January

174
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,759
of retaining players bringing in you know, eight to twelve transfers,

175
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:36,039
I think that's the ratio where they would like to

176
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,759
be in the long run. So I think they've they've

177
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,679
kind of found the sweet spot that they're in right now,

178
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:46,679
and I think we can expect more from that in

179
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,440
the future if things go as Klanie Satake would like

180
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:55,039
them too. Secondly, to answer your question, I love Walker

181
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,679
Lions fit in this BYU offense. Carson Ryan came and

182
00:10:00,919 --> 00:10:04,120
in one season he tripled his production, and I think

183
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,360
there's a real scenario where Walker Lions could do the same.

184
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,519
He was, you know, a highly touted pass catcher coming

185
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:14,759
out of high school and he's developed as a blocker

186
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:18,960
USC and that's that's one area where Carson Ryan just

187
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,799
made BYU so much better last year was his ability

188
00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:24,480
to do both. And I see Walker Lions being able

189
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:26,600
to do that. So to me, I'm I'm most high

190
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,360
on Walker Lions. I think he'll he'll make a Carson

191
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:35,159
Ryan type impact this year. And then Kadu Luave is obviously,

192
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:39,879
he's really good, He's NFL good and it's really hard

193
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:44,600
to replace Jack Kelly with Kate. Lave is the type

194
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,600
of player that can do that. Jack Kelly was obviously

195
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,799
you know, he was BYU's leading pass rusher, Yes, and

196
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:54,480
he got pressure on the quarterback about thirty percent of

197
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,039
the time when he rushed the quarterback. Kate was only

198
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,919
used sparingly as a as a pass rusher at Cal,

199
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,320
but he got to the quarterback. I think it's forty

200
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,799
eight percent of the time, whether it was a hurry

201
00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:10,279
or a quarterback hit or a sack. So he was

202
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,799
one of the best and most efficient pass rushers from

203
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,720
the linebacker spot last year, and I do expect BYU

204
00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:20,720
to utilize him more that way than he was a Cal.

205
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,840
So I see him, you know, sliding quite nicely into

206
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,840
that Jack Kelly role.

207
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the takes for both. Walker with the

208
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:34,120
full spring ball, with Bear a full off season. You

209
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,279
gotta love that. You gotta love a quarterback who has

210
00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:38,440
a potential to throw for four thousand yards. I don't

211
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,120
think that's hyperbole with these weapons and Carson Ryan one

212
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,720
of the highest graded I think it was the highest

213
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:47,200
graded actually tight end per a Pro Football focus, Like look,

214
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,600
this is I like to take and I like Cad.

215
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,200
You know, getting pressure forty percent of the time when

216
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,879
you do rush him when a quarterback is phenomenal. We

217
00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:56,279
saw what Jack was able to do in then the

218
00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:59,960
combination of what excuse mean not Jack Kelly Isaiah Glasker

219
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:03,279
look forward to seeing what BYU is able to do.

220
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,000
Let's talk about some of the hires, now, get your

221
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,159
thoughts on those. Kline finalizes his staff, promotes a couple

222
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,279
of people internally. I think that's the best type of

223
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,519
decision you can do, is when you're promoted internally, I

224
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:17,360
think you're elevating your program and people that have succeeded

225
00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:20,000
from the GA level. What do you like about as

226
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,200
What do you like about kiloney staff, which he's finalized

227
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,200
the rest of it yesterday.

228
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:29,159
Speaker 1: I like the continuity that they were able to bring

229
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,240
back despite losing j Hill. You only lose Jay and Gennaro.

230
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,200
I think what this staff has found is an ability

231
00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:45,919
to collaborate a game plan that helps them win games,

232
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,840
perhaps more than their talent suggests. Like Don't get me wrong,

233
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:54,600
I think BYU the last two years has been has

234
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:57,879
put together talented rosters and they're getting more talented every year.

235
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:03,000
But the you know, the star ratings suggest BYU should

236
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,840
be more like the seven and five to eight and

237
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:12,519
four category. So I think the kind of the superpower

238
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,240
of the staff the last two years has been to

239
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,440
properly evaluate where they think their deficiencies are going to

240
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,159
be against certain opponents, and then the other side of

241
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:26,919
the ball will help. You know. For example, if if

242
00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:31,320
BYU is concerned about a team's ability to put up

243
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,720
a lot of points, they will have the offense kind

244
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,639
of go at a slower pace and help limit possessions

245
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:39,559
for the defense. I think that's the kind of thing

246
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,399
that's worked for this staff. And being able to keep

247
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,320
a lot of the same people in the room that

248
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,759
have been part of those discussions in the past, I

249
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:50,759
think that's that's an advantage for Kilani and co going

250
00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:57,720
into this year. I also like I do like Kelly Papinga.

251
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,320
I for one, I just think Kilani in his track

252
00:14:01,399 --> 00:14:06,480
record of hiring coordinators, he has a really solid track record,

253
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,279
whether it's promoting from within or finding someone external, he's

254
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,480
nailed it pretty much every time, so I would say

255
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,559
he's had a front row seat to watch Kelly Papina.

256
00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:22,600
And therefore my belief is that Kilannie is, you know,

257
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,879
well equipped to make that decision. He's proven that he

258
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,360
is in the past. So if if he says Kelly

259
00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:32,080
Papinka was his first choice, I believe that, and I

260
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,919
think the defense will be will be just fine, especially

261
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,159
considering the guidance that Kilannie and Gary Anderson will give

262
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:40,639
Kelly Papinka.

263
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: Excited to see what this is? Springball crazy casey what

264
00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:48,559
four weeks away? Probably a month the seeon it felt

265
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,919
like the Pop Tarts Bowl in BYU's twelve one season

266
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,320
first time and over. I think, you know what, twenty

267
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:58,759
years it just ended, and here we are thirty days

268
00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:01,200
away and these guys will be starting back up. It'scidding

269
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,679
time in in Provo.

270
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:05,759
Speaker 1: Definitely should be should be a lot of fun in

271
00:15:05,799 --> 00:15:11,080
the offseason. Probably probably not as many ups and downs

272
00:15:10,919 --> 00:15:14,399
as the last one with Jake Kretzlov and losing a

273
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:16,919
guy like kill and Marry, and I think it's good

274
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,879
for fans to be able to in January look at

275
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:22,200
a roster and start to get excited for a season

276
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:25,840
instead of you know, having to go through the ups

277
00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:28,440
and downs that college football fans have become a custom

278
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:29,519
to lost few years.

279
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't think there are gonna be any ups and

280
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:35,919
downs in relation to that, but you know, shout out

281
00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:37,559
to Jake and kiel and it just shows you Ba's

282
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,000
development was able to Jake left and went to Tulane

283
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,320
and led his team to the college football playoffs. Keelan

284
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,279
played in a national championship. So it goes back to

285
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,639
your main point of how the culture and Kilane staff

286
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:50,279
and the development of BYU. It showcases that if you

287
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,080
had asked me to put that on my Bengal card

288
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:55,600
for twenty twenty five, it was not there. But sure enough,

289
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:58,399
that's just what happens, Casey. Before I let you go,
