is well in Cougar Country as we get your prep

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,159
get you ready that BYU Texas Tech matchup. Do you

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,799
feel like the distractions of the Kilani Sittake contract extension

20
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:11,000
will leak over into Saturday's game?

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 4: Are you concerned at all?

22
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: Or do you feel like that was put to rest

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,840
early enough in the week that it won't be an issue.

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 4: How do you feel about BYU's chances versus Texas Tech.

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: What does the data show regarding college football teams that

26
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:32,439
have to play each other twice in one year? How

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,959
often does the the initial team okay, that initial win,

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,359
can they get two wins? How often do we see that?

29
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:46,280
I want to talk about that. Also, a little nugget happened,

30
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,239
A little nugget dropped from Richard Johnson, CBS Sports that

31
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:52,120
I want to get into.

32
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:52,319
Speaker 4: Now.

33
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: It's something I've heard over the last couple of weeks.

34
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,760
We've discussed it, but now it's essentially to a certain

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,879
stent on record. Okay, the fascinating story behind how Kalani

36
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:07,439
Sitake was retained.

37
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 4: You can check that out. I retweeted it earlier today.

38
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: Shayn j Raja as well CBS Sports put it out there.

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,680
But and I quote, this is what the article stated.

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,039
I want to discuss this. A common quip in BYU

41
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:25,479
circles is that the Texas Tech team the Cougars are

42
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,439
about to face in the Big twelve Championship game has

43
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:34,840
a defensive front that is paid more than BYU's entire team,

44
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,599
and CBS Sports actually put a number to it. The

45
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:45,360
entire nil offering on this BYU roster is ten million

46
00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:48,599
dollars ten million, which you know, okay, that's a lot.

47
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,960
That's a lot, right, But when you really you stack

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,120
it up against Texas Tech, Texas Tech spent per Trevor

49
00:02:55,159 --> 00:03:01,520
Matic twenty eight million dollars, so your significant lee lower

50
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,800
than Tech. This is like the New York Yankees, the

51
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,240
Los Angeles Dodgers and their payroll versus the the old

52
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,840
moneyball Oakland A's that's what we're talking about here. That's

53
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,199
the comparison to a certain degree. That's where you're at

54
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:27,879
your You're at least two almost three times right less

55
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:30,639
in payroll at b b YU at bringham On University.

56
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,719
I find that, you know interesting. I think that's an

57
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:34,639
intriguing number.

58
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: Can David slay Goliath in Arlington?

59
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Is the question, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. We'll

60

00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,639
TV work for the Utah Hockey Club. Now he's reppin'

86
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,480
Couger Sports here on ESPN the Fanlists. Welcome in Brett

87
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,600
always bring the hammer hammer Time show, also of the

88
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,839
Plea Network podcast which never puts up Hammertime.

89
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,879
Speaker 3: This whole ESPN putting up the graphic where they said, neoli,

90
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,680
it's getting some solid attention.

91
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,399
Speaker 4: Hartland College Sports just put out an article.

92
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: About Jason Zepherd tweeting it, and then BYU's a football

93
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,920
account actually responded to that tweet that Shepherd put.

94
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:24,639
Speaker 4: Out, and they responded to the tweet with.

95
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:30,519
Speaker 3: An image of BYU's resume compared with Alabama, Notre Dame,

96
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:34,120
and Miami. So, I mean, look, usually you don't see

97
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,680
like the official BYU accounts to a whole lot of campaigning,

98
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,240
or any schools accounts for that matter. BYU no longer

99
00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:43,800
has any quips, any boughts about it.

100
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,399
Speaker 4: We are campaigning. We truly feel like we.

101
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: Are getting robbed right now, and they are making sure

102
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,319
everyone knows how they feel about it.

103
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,079
Speaker 1: We give zero fornication under the consent of the Kings.

104
00:05:55,399 --> 00:06:01,480
We give no flipping fetch f Right now, we're attacking,

105
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,199
We're we're on the prow in Cougar Country.

106
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 4: We're gonna, we're gonna put the pedal.

107
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,439
Speaker 3: To the medal and uh put the committee their feet

108
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,120
to the fire.

109
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: And it's about gosh dang time. Yeah, And granted, timing

110
00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:23,680
is of the essence Timing is critical. If you put

111
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,399
the cart before the horse, can get a little bit

112
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:28,959
uh less humble, less hungry, right as uh, you know,

113
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,920
we'd like to say, how down here in provo under

114
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:34,279
killane staying humble, staying hungry, you know, uh, a little

115
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:39,000
love and learning. You can't let the pride cycle, you know,

116
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,040
just bite you in the behind. So like we weren't

117
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:43,680
like we were getting out front of we were the

118
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:49,639
propaganda you know police, and the propaganda hype train was

119
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,519
not in effective to this time. Even Brett, you or

120
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,800
Mark very hesitants until that U of AASU game to

121
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:59,160
go on record and start publicizing his second best team

122
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,480
in theerence.

123
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Brett was very slow, he

124
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:03,000
was very hesitant.

125
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden he's like, oh yeah,

126
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:06,399
but what he definitely belongs in the playoffs.

127
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,399
Speaker 4: Really, where have you been for the last four weeks? Brett?

128
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,319
We love you? You monetization maniac, that's what you are.

129
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:19,759
Speaker 1: You're right outside the box, just uh baller shot goll I,

130
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:21,439
always figuring out a way for the Big twelve to

131
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,759
get them big old.

132
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: Bucks in the pockets. What can we monetize the day?

133
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:26,199
Speaker 4: Where's that money?

134
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:30,399
Speaker 1: Go, by the way, the fifty thousand, well and the Mormons.

135
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,199
Speaker 3: I just keep seeing all this money that the Big

136
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:35,160
twelve picks up, this new deal with Monster, which by

137
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:37,319
the way, look I'm I'm a big Monster guy, but

138
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,199
the Big twelve serie go zero sugar.

139
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,279
Speaker 4: But the Mango Loco is really good and I have

140
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:45,240
to stay away. Anyway.

141
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:48,759
Speaker 3: We keep seeing the Big twelve pulling all these deals

142
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,199
and it's really cool, it's really awesome.

143
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,639
Speaker 4: It's open for business all these things.

144
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then my question is where's all this money

145
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,319
actually going? We're getting this all this getting that bonus,

146
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,000
I what bank acout?

147
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: Is this being deposit? That's what I want to know.

148
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: Is this trickle down economics? I know I'm a big

149
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,639
fan of the trickle down economic A Big twelve radio

150
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,959
host kind of that is it kind of what the

151
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,920
show like, does we get any you know, we're supporting

152
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,439
the Big twelve.

153
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: Yes, we're a Big twelve affiliate. Yeah, putting out that

154
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,199
Big twelve content probably.

155
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:22,199
Speaker 5: Yeah.

156
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: So that's a really good point. Man, where's that money?

157
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:26,879
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out, like, you know, where

158
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:28,759
the f the Mormons fees go to?

159
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:29,439
Speaker 4: Like whatever?

160
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: You know, we got like, yeah, you got a few

161
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,519
of them fifty thousand dollars fines. It's like, all right,

162
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,240
well where did that fifty k go? Can we get

163
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,080
some of that? I'm betting why I said to give

164
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,759
a raise. We may have to use some of that

165
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:42,159
fifty k for the f the Mormons.

166
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 4: Chance.

167
00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:44,399
Speaker 3: You know what, though, they should have to put it

168
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,879
towards that school's NAL fund. That's what they should do.

169
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,360
That would be incredible.

170
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: That would actually be pretty incredible, very nice, speaking of

171
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,120
f the Mormons. Uh, you know who's f ing the

172
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,279
Mormons right now? The college fotball playoff committee. They're they're

173
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,360
not saying it, they're just doing it.

174
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 4: And they do say that. Actions speak louder than words.

175
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,039
I would rather.

176
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: Someone say say it rather than do it. Let's be honest, right,

177
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:17,080
goodness gracious, like that's it's a it's a real thing.

178
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:18,039
Speaker 4: You have.

179
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,399
Speaker 3: Dave Portno, he's the he's the he's the biggest advocate

180
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:22,759
right now.

181
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 4: That was not five bingo card. I mean, it's so funny,

182
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:27,600
like he went off.

183
00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: On this diatribe this uh this uh, this commentary about

184
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,559
how b YU is getting screwed, and he ended up

185
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:38,960
using the effort. Now, he says, Look, I know we're

186
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,080
not supposed to use the effort in provo, but provo, Dave,

187
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:42,919
is the exception.

188
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:45,519
Speaker 4: I can use the F word.

189
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,639
Speaker 1: If Look, I'm not asking, I'm not saying go listen

190
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,480
to it. But if you do, the only way you

191
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:54,720
can is if you serve the mission. That's the threshold.

192
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,279
Speaker 4: You've had to serve the Lord with all your heart my.

193
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,919
Speaker 1: Mind is straight, and sanitize yourself before the Lord by

194
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,519
thrusting in your sickle and serving your fellow man. That's

195
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,720
the only way you can watch a ratedar movie in

196
00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:09,200
your life or say a curse word. That is the

197
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:12,519
rule of thumb here at ESPN the fan. But shout

198
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:16,240
out to stool Presidente for keeping it real, keeping it

199
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,720
real right now? Do you think any of this public propaganda? Okay, Like,

200
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,080
my favorite meme is probably that I don't know what

201
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:28,399
stems from You guys would know better than me. It's

202
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,799
that guy in front of that like tack board and

203
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,240
there's all these like connecting dots everywhere.

204
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,279
Speaker 4: It's just like confusing, and you don't know. I believe

205
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:36,519
it's always sunny in Philadelphi.

206
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: It's okay, always sunny in Philadelphia and like, and that's

207
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,039
why the conclusion, that's why BYU is not in the

208
00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:49,039
college football playoff top ten. You have to use some

209
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:57,840
mental gymnastics, figure skating type of subjective grading and rulings,

210
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:01,120
and it's it's it's unfortunately, it really is.

211
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,919
Speaker 4: But b YU is got it. They got a good chance.

212
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,519
Speaker 1: I think a better chance than Vegas gives them to

213
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,080
win this game in Arlington. I believe that interesting. I

214
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,279
had a great conversation today. I was like, look, it

215
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,960
is individual, an individual of credibility, an individual of pomp

216
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,080
and circumstance.

217
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,039
Speaker 4: And I said, look someone that that.

218
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,399
Speaker 1: He's very much intertwined and down there every single day

219
00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:31,000
within the BAU football perer.

220
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,879
Speaker 4: I said, hey, what's what give me?

221
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,799
Speaker 1: Give me the optimistic take, Like, what makes you optimist

222
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:41,039
in that BYU can go into Arlington and get a victory.

223
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:43,039
Speaker 4: And he enumerated these things.

224
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:48,279
Speaker 1: Number One neutral setting, sold out, sold out stadium. B

225
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,240
Yu's gonna show up for this, Okay, b Y, he's

226
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:54,559
gonna it's gonna at worst it's fifty to fifty.

227
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:55,799
Speaker 4: At worst.

228
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: The it's at fifty to fifty. Okay, that's what he said.

229
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:03,399
So I'm Okay, fifty of the fans being Bay fans.

230
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,039
That's incredible, that's fantastic. Okay, So you're gonna have that

231
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,360
neutral setting. You don't have the the the audio being

232
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,440
pumped into the stadium like you did in Lubbock. You

233
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,159
don't have the wind elements that screwed BYU, the the

234
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,399
the muff punt and the shaked punts that sets you

235
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,320
back and didn't allow for momentum and put your defense

236
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,440
in a very precarious situation. Also, the throw game was

237
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,799
a little bit off, right. So remember the throw game

238
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,360
was off because we went max Pro and we had

239
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,679
two man routes and we weren't winning on those two

240
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,759
man routes because they were literally getting pressure with four guys.

241
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna change it up a little bit.

242
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna allow for space and some quicker

243
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:53,200
route kind of runs in route concepts to come early

244
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,879
in that drop back game and some quick game employed.

245
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,840
So that was another thing I said, Okay, sweet, I'm listening.

246
00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 4: I'm here.

247
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,279
Speaker 1: He's like, Furthermore, this is the healthiest we've been all season.

248
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,759
Speaker 4: This is healthy. Sony MOA's back for RB two.

249
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: Chase Roberts back Hammy, they have their two dam justin Kirkland. Okay,

250
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,679
he's back in the lineup, and he said Purcell should

251
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,879
be back in the lineup, right Keanu and John tellwy

252
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:27,360
Peyo back in the lineup right there they've been in

253
00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:31,080
the lineup. You know you got Tommy prass Is coming back. Okay,

254
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:36,039
you have depth at certain positions, key positions. Uh wayler

255
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,159
Lapa was listed as the as you know that he's back.

256
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:41,039
I don't know if he is, we'll see, right, but

257
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,200
he said when they were healthier than they've ever been.

258
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,080
I'm like, okay, I may just become a believer here

259
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,279
that b Yu's gonna have a chance, like Lloyd Christmas

260
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,240
on Dumb and dumbers.

261
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,919
Speaker 4: So you're telling me there's a chance one in a million, Okay,

262
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:58,799
I gotcha.

263
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 3: I read you. I'm not saying it's one in a million.

264
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:02,639
It's much better than that.

265
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,519
Speaker 1: I think ESPN Analytics is b Why you're like, what

266
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,399
thirty four to thirty five percent chance of victory? It

267
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,639
could be better than that. It could be a fifty

268
00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:15,279
to fifty situation. Man at least to sixty forty or

269
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,200
worse to sixty forty situation I'm feeling better about it

270
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:24,679
after that conversation, right, feeling better about it. My guy

271
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,480
shout out to Mike Kyme former BYU great NFL vet,

272
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:35,200
the father of Braden Kyme, former BYU offensive tackle. Shout

273
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,360
out to Mike listening in right now. He says, I'm

274
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:40,440
all in on your caveat that. If I serve a mission,

275
00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:42,000
I can use the F word.

276
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:46,519
Speaker 4: Ha ha ha ha. You can't. That's the thing people

277
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:47,759
don't really like.

278
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: Like, you know, there's a lot of self righteous pricks amongst.

279
00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 4: Us right and telling me there's a chance.

280
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:58,159
Speaker 1: Sit, there's a chance. There's definitely a chance. Okay, I

281
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,720
call him ramy Ump the Mormons.

282
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,639
Speaker 4: It's uh. I put out my poll of the day.

283
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,279
Speaker 1: By the way, Uh, the self righteous of our nation

284
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,000
of Cougar Country.

285
00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:10,519
Speaker 4: I asked this question.

286
00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Is my polary, by the way, which group most wants

287
00:15:12,799 --> 00:15:15,159
b YU football pushed into irrelevance?

288
00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 4: You know, just done with?

289
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: I asked this question actually yesterday. Is it number one

290
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:19,919
Utahs fan base?

291
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,559
Speaker 4: Definitely? Uh? Number two?

292
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,039
Speaker 1: The self righteous sect of the LDS and Mormons who

293
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,879
think major athletics is the worldly gladiatorial worship right, it's

294
00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:32,720
idle worship. It takes away from building the kingdom. Number three,

295
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:36,440
the CFB establishment, the College Football Cubal, the oligopoly, the

296
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:40,279
monopoly that they have there, the old order, the new

297
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,879
world order, the old world order of college football that

298
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,039
includes the playoff committee, right? Or is it just number

299
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,320
four anti BYU, anti LDS haters just want to see.

300
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,799
Speaker 4: It all burned down? Is there? In all the above.

301
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:56,919
Speaker 1: There's a pretty growing sect here of people that are like,

302
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,639
they just want to see by you go into irrelevancy. No,

303
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,240
but I I asked that question the Polar Day, and

304
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,799
UH number one has thirty eight percent of Utah fan base.

305
00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:11,279
Number three, the college football establishment has forty one percent,

306
00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:14,200
sixteen percent for the anti BYU, anti LDS haters, and

307
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,759
only UH only two for the self righteous sector of

308
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:18,240
the LDS.

309
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:20,639
Speaker 4: So what I'm saying is it's full circle here.

310
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: We need more Jay Golden Kimball Mormons in our in

311
00:16:24,879 --> 00:16:27,440
our people, is what I'm getting interesting.

312
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,759
Speaker 4: We need we need it.

313
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,399
Speaker 1: How do we normalize how do we humanize ourselves amongst

314
00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:36,840
the greater populace. It's not you know, becoming hedonistic into botros,

315
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,799
you know, you know what I mean?

316
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 4: Like, it's not that. We're not gonna engage in all

317
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:43,720
manner of laciviousness. We're not gonna do that. We're way

318
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,320
too righteous for that time type of tom foolery.

319
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: Okay, not gonna happen. No, I sands much about that.

320
00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:50,519
But you know what we can do. We can lay

321
00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:54,679
on a thick, juicy f bomb whenever we're getting f

322
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:56,480
uc k by the committee.

323
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 4: We all were getting screwed, are we not? We are right?

324
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,960
No FCC violation. I acronymed that. That's not a violation.

325
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: He didn't say it.

326
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 4: That's not a violation. Now check tape. That's not a violation,

327
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,000
no violation.

328
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 6: Not a foul, not a foul, not a foul is

329
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:16,039
clean ball cuz.

330
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,079
Speaker 3: So yeah, And so the threshold to be able to

331
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,440
use to be able to use that though, you have

332
00:17:21,519 --> 00:17:23,400
to serve the mission of full mission, not one year.

333
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:29,640
Sorry writer lines, sorry sorry, righty, No you can't.

334
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 4: So what about Walker? Can Walker? Say it?

335
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:31,599
Speaker 7: Though?

336
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:34,519
Speaker 4: Walker was a year and a half. So okay, so

337
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:37,279
you're not okay the two years? Two years is the threshold.

338
00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:39,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel like two years should be

339
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,160
the threshold in order to just we gotta have some

340
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,440
integrity with this, Okay, we can just be giving it

341
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,119
out to whoever.

342
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 4: You can't just let anybody use it.

343
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 3: You don't just get to have it because you are

344
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,000
a b YU football player and serve a shy two

345
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:53,920
years like you, either all the way or not.

346
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: In order to use that word. Look, the questions for normalization, humanization.

347
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,880
We got to be able to drop an F bomb

348
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,519
or two in our in these board meetings and say

349
00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:02,799
you guys are screwing us here.

350
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,839
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. That's one of my theses today.

351
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,920
So don't judge me.

352
00:18:09,079 --> 00:18:11,839
Speaker 1: Don't judge me, okay, because I I did serve a

353
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,200
me And look, look, you know the the questionnaire to

354
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:19,559
get into the Holy of holies, right like the holy

355
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,400
grounds of the Temple. They don't ask if I use

356
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,400
curse words, do they.

357
00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 5: I?

358
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 4: They don't. They don't. It's not what they say. No,

359
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:29,960
it doesn't say that. I.

360
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:35,799
Speaker 1: Look, curse words are less less vile than drinking coffee, apparently.

361
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,400
So look that's where I'm at. That's where I'm at

362
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,799

a top twenty class with side sealed and delivered. Let's

404
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,039
listen it to Kalonie Shatakes. He addresses it with the media.

405
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,799
Speaker 8: Really excited to announce our signing class for the class

406
00:20:55,799 --> 00:20:59,319
of twenty twenty six, and I'm excited about the h

407
00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:02,599
have a playmakers that we brought on to our program.

408
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,319
Speaker 5: And excited.

409
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,799
Speaker 8: I mean, a lot of them we knew about already,

410
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,359
and so we are really fired up about the uh

411
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,240
the talent that's coming in and the fit that they

412
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,680
are to our program. There's a good number of them

413
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,440
that are going to be going on missions first, and

414
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,000
then there's also a good numbers that are enrolling early

415
00:21:20,039 --> 00:21:21,319
and starting school next month.

416
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 5: So I feel like we've.

417
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 8: Got a lot of our needs taking care of here

418
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,759
and to provide depth on our team, but also some

419
00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:32,079
guys that can definitely compete for playing time right away.

420
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,119
And so I think overall, I love the class. I'm

421
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,759
really proud of our coaches. I just want to thank them.

422
00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:42,039
It's a lot of hard work from our coaches, I

423
00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:45,160
know that. But also our recruiting department. They've done an

424
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,839
amazing job and I don't think they get enough credit

425
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:49,960
for what they do. And and everyone that's just been

426
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,240
involved with BYU helping everyone else out through this recruiting process,

427
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:57,000
and it's been it's been amazing seeing all these you know,

428
00:21:57,039 --> 00:21:58,960
we've recruited a lot of these guys since they're younger,

429
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,559
and now seeing them in the last year, it's you know,

430
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,160
time just flew by and now they're they're here and

431
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,000
many of them are going to start school next month and.

432
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,039
Speaker 5: So looking forward to it.

433
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 8: But we do want to answer any questions that you

434
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,880
guys have from us, but you know, the other coaches

435
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,680
will be able to answer all a lot of the details.

436
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 5: But I'm just really.

437
00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:16,039
Speaker 8: Proud of the fact that we got a lot of

438
00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:18,200
guys from the state of Utah in our backyard, and

439
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,720
then looking at the places that we were able to

440
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:23,880
hit different parts of the country, we were able to

441
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,920
scour the earth and find the best players, and I'm

442
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,759
really proud of the class that we have today.

443
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:32,039
Speaker 5: Cool questions do you guys have for me?

444
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 9: First of well, have Dana Green.

445
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 7: Big Dana Green or the ABC four the probably the

446
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,519
biggest name on this list, Rider Lions. A lot of

447
00:22:43,559 --> 00:22:48,240
a lot has been made about him. How does he

448
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:51,400
fit in, you know, with you have a freshman quarterback? Now,

449
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:54,000
I know he's going to go on a mission I

450
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:57,680
believe for a year, So how does he fit in

451
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,599
in your long term plans? And just what kind of

452
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,319
talent is he?

453
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 8: Well, I'm only allowed to discuss the players that are

454
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,359
officially signed, so you know, once we get to that

455
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,720
and once that's been public and then I'll be able

456
00:23:10,759 --> 00:23:13,039
to comment on it. But until then I can only

457
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:15,279
comment on the players that are here. But we speaking

458
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:19,039
in general, we feel good about our quarterback position, feel

459
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:20,680
good about the town that's coming in there.

460
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,519
Speaker 7: Okay, sorry, I thought he had already signed.

461
00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:26,799
Speaker 5: About that, trying to get me in trouble.

462
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 4: Dana, It's hard to let's be on it.

463
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: It's hard to stay up today on who's all signed, sealed, delivered.

464
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,279
He was committed and then he delayed it. And this

465
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,079
was earlier in the day, I remember yesterday, and he

466
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,559
had postponed it to what two thirty Pacific time. We

467
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:48,960
found out live on our show via his Instagram live

468
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:51,480
that he had signed at three thirty. Why did he

469
00:23:51,599 --> 00:23:54,920
delay it? Well, he was committing with his high school

470
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,559
football team. Everyone was signing their national letterans and there

471
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:00,000
needed to be a few more things worked out.

472
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 4: Apparently, here's my theory. Ready for my conspiracy.

473
00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 3: I know you're a man of who appreciates a good conspiracy.

474
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:10,039
Speaker 1: I didn't used to be a conspiracy theorist. Twenty twenty

475
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,039
changed me. I've gone on record on that.

476
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 3: So remember when Rider Lions used to be considered by

477
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,160
some to be a five star when he was willing

478
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:19,680
to commit.

479
00:24:22,079 --> 00:24:23,559
Speaker 4: What if? What if?

480
00:24:24,039 --> 00:24:26,799
Speaker 3: Because it was a real article that we saw from

481
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:30,599
I think it was and Adam Gourney of Rivals, who

482
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:34,279
put out an article saying Rider Lions is at first

483
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,599
the article that we read said he's not going to

484
00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:39,000
sign today, and we read an article saying he's unlikely

485
00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:42,000
to sign today. What if Rider Lions put it out

486
00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:44,759
to rivals that he wasn't going to sign today just

487
00:24:44,839 --> 00:24:49,160
so that he could make them look bad for them

488
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,200
not making him a five star anymore, knowing full well

489
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,480
he was going to sign at two thirty because.

490
00:24:54,279 --> 00:24:57,079
Speaker 4: Look what they had set up. There was But there's

491
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,079
no way that that was a last minute thing.

492
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 3: Now yeah, could some one else have been doing it

493
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,319
and then Ryder hopped in last minute? Maybe he wasn't

494
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,200
gonna do it, Maybe was sure. But the more fun

495
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,839
theory to me is that Ryder line has wanted to

496
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,920
out rivals. I don't have any source on this. I

497
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,880
don't even know if it's true, but I just think

498
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,880
it would be fun if Ryder was like, hey, remember

499
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,799
when you guys said it wasn't a five star anymore?

500
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,839
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, you guys should put out the story that

501
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:23,200
I'm not gonna sign today, go ahead, knows full well.

502
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 3: Two hours later tweets out, uh, yeah, I'm signing today,

503
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,359
really excited about it, and then.

504
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,279
Speaker 4: Goes out and signs mis rivals look kind of iffy.

505
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:34,640
I believe the conspiracy. I believe am Yeah. So I

506
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,839
wasn't going that route, but I like that one.

507
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: I was going more the route of it's in a

508
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,799
similar vein with the five start. But he was going

509
00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:47,000
to open up quotation mark his recruitment and receive offers

510
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:50,119
in more nil offers and then be elevated to five

511
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,960
star stats. But the problem with that theory, even like

512
00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:57,720
most of the high level schools have already acquired in

513
00:25:57,759 --> 00:26:00,599
their class the quarterback that they're gonna sign, so it

514
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,799
was kind of like it is too little, too late.

515
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,799
But I had that fleeting thought, sure for a second,

516
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:10,640
but I like yours is what I like yours more? So, Yeah,

517
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,000
Ryder Lions did eventually sign, so now Kaloni can talk

518
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,440
about them, which is great. By the rules, these arbitrary,

519
00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:21,519
weird NCAA rules, Let's get back to it.

520
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,759
Speaker 4: The twenty twenty six signing class.

521
00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: By the way, By the way, Ryder Lions, Bob Mulitalo

522
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,960
offensive line, defensive line. I think you could also play

523
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,599
defensive line. Brock Harris tight.

524
00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: End, Adam Bywater linebacker, Ty Getchee tight end.

525
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: All these guys are four stars, by the way. Lopetti

526
00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:47,119
Moala also four star defensive line, edge rusher, Jack Stanner

527
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,559
offensive line, Terrence Serion, wide receiver, Braxton Lindsay linebacker, Kawe

528
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,640
Aconna wide receiver, Legend, Glasger wide receiver, Matthew Mason's safety,

529
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,359
Graham Livingston wide receiver, Parker or Digital.

530
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 4: At the high level, three urs.

531
00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: By the way, above eighty five sep and I a

532
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:07,640
Latini athletes listen as an athlete, Antonio Johnson cornerback, Neomiah

533
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:13,200
Cologne defensive alignment, Justice Braithwaite cornerback, and Devon eka or

534
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:18,240
Eka running back. So that's your crew, that's your signing class.

535
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,599
There were nineteen signed and it was an overall rank

536
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:25,559
of twenty first. This is the highest recruiting class in

537
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,279
BYU modern era history.

538
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 4: Let's get back to the South for Kilani.

539
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 5: Next question from Mitch Harper.

540
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 4: Kilani.

541
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: I'm curious.

542
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you.

543
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 9: There were reports last summer that Texas Tech was getting

544
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,119
a roster of the team that you're gonna face this

545
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,160
Saturday more than twenty eight million dollars.

546
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 4: I'm curious going forward with recruiting.

547
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,759
Speaker 9: Is that kind of like a number that it's going

548
00:27:56,839 --> 00:28:00,799
to take to build a national contender going forward.

549
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 5: I don't.

550
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 8: I don't know if the the actual numbers. I don't

551
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,200
work for Texas Tech. Even though I'm friends with Joey McGuire,

552
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,119
I know that there's a lot of speculation on what

553
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,039
what how they got their roster together. But I'm gonna

554
00:28:14,039 --> 00:28:17,279
first say that Joey is a great builder of culture,

555
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,079
and uh, you can see that the culture works in

556
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,279
their program, and you can see that it's been able

557
00:28:22,319 --> 00:28:24,880
to embrace all those that are are current that have

558
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,039
been there for a while and developed in the program,

559
00:28:27,079 --> 00:28:29,440
and the newcomers that have been in that program. So

560
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,559
in regard regards to NIL and REVS share and all

561
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:36,599
that stuff, we keep our things private here. Our goal

562
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,160
is to be in the be in the market, but

563
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,400
also make sure they're the right fit. Don't want guys

564
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,880
just coming just for money, you know, so they've got

565
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,759
to come for the experience. And obviously there's a lot

566
00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:51,160
of money available. But if if they're number one thing

567
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,880
is money, then this is the wrong place. And if

568
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,720
the conversation starts off with money, this is definitely the

569
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,000
wrong place. And so we're gonna be focused on on

570
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:01,920
the uh, the fit in the program and the mission

571
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,559
of our school, and that other part would just be

572
00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:08,680
more of a secondary conversation, maybe even the third conversation.

573
00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: There you go, that is uh, Kilani Sittake uh if

574
00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:17,119
if money is the first word out of your mouth

575
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,319
when you when you arrive on a recruiting trip or

576
00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:21,000
you get on the phone with any of these coaches,

577
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,319
it's like, hey, how's your nil. B YU is not

578
00:29:24,359 --> 00:29:26,480
the right place for I've said it time and time again.

579
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 4: You heard it reiterated. Uh, You've heard it.

580
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:32,599
Speaker 1: Proclaimed from Kilani Sittake, head coach of b YU.

581
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,039
Speaker 4: Uh. Entitlement doesn't work at b YU.

582
00:29:35,559 --> 00:29:38,279
Speaker 1: And what's interesting is Scott Frost in his postgame when

583
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:40,240
he was elaborating on you know, how much he loved

584
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,279
and liked Kilani and how genuine he is and and

585
00:29:43,359 --> 00:29:46,880
one of the things I asked him Scott is like, uh,

586
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,519
you know, how are you how are you developing your

587
00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:53,079
culture and retaining your guys in this modern era, and

588
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:56,920
he's like he he, He discussed it and then he said,

589
00:29:57,119 --> 00:30:00,759
I actually talked to Kilani about this, and Kilanie had

590
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,720
a similar experience where he had some poisonous people. He

591
00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:07,279
didn't say poisonous, but it was. He alluded to it.

592
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:09,799
These he wants to bring in Scott Ross wants to

593
00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:13,319
bring a culture, culture builders, right individuals that will buy

594
00:30:13,359 --> 00:30:14,200
into that culture.

595
00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:17,599
Speaker 4: And Kalani had to kind of, you.

596
00:30:17,559 --> 00:30:22,319
Speaker 3: Know, xcise cut out the fat a little bit. That

597
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,359
was weighing the rest of the team down.

598
00:30:24,759 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: Okay, And I think when you allow entitlement and nil

599
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,359
to seep in and that's the only that's the only priority,

600
00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:34,480
that's the first party, run away immediately.

601
00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:37,799
Speaker 4: If that is the first priority, runaway immediately. They got

602
00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:38,279
to come.

603
00:30:38,119 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: See and see the value of the transformational not the transactional.

604
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,039
Speaker 4: Nature of BYU.

605
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to be competitive, They've said it time

606
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,599
and they don't want to be the highest bider, but

607
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,960
they want to be competitive. They want to fair market rate.

608
00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:56,240
You're gonna hear that more and more. It's something I've

609
00:30:56,279 --> 00:30:59,559
talked about. I feel like I'm embedding it into the

610
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,680
mind of people everywhere I've talked about the alignment of

611
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,319
the silos. I feel like that's come around. I've been

612
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:08,799
talking about that for over a decade, and I've been

613
00:31:09,079 --> 00:31:11,799
criticized for it, and I'm like, no, this is all

614
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,319
things that we need to do, and we're seeing the

615
00:31:13,319 --> 00:31:15,640
effectuation of it because we got the right leaders in

616
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,559
place with the right mindset that want to be holistic

617
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,000
and be great at everything. They want to be great academics,

618
00:31:22,119 --> 00:31:24,720
they want to be great in athletics, they want to

619
00:31:24,759 --> 00:31:27,359
be great spiritually, ethically, morally.

620
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 4: They want it all. They want to be a lade

621
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,640
in all of it.

622
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,079
Speaker 1: And so I love that he just reiterated, Hey, if

623
00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:35,599
you're the first words out of your mouth is filthy lucer,

624
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,319
you're not the right fit for us.

625
00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 4: Well.

626
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:40,839
Speaker 3: He said as much in his presser with Brian Santiago

627
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,640
when they were talking about facilities, and Brian gave an

628
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,279
answer about how, yah, We're gonna go out and get

629
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:48,279
the best facilities, and Cloneae goes, yes, But I want

630
00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:50,359
to jump in here and say if a guy is

631
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,039
coming here for a building, he can go somewhere else.

632
00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:55,000
And I believe Cloneys went as far as to say

633
00:31:55,319 --> 00:31:57,880
I'd look forward to playing him on later in the season,

634
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,440
because if you're just going there simply for the building,

635
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,119
then you're not necessarily bought into the culture again BYU's

636
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,200
competing fair market rate in terms of their facilities as well.

637
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 4: But if if you're only.

638
00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:14,319
Speaker 3: Going there for the material things that are there and

639
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,559
not trying to be a part of a winning culture,

640
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,599
not trying to be a winner yourself, than like, that's cool,

641
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,359
you don't BYU just might not be the place for you.

642
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go to break.

643
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,519
Speaker 1: We'll come back with more soundbites from Kilani from signing

687
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:48,880
some Kalini Shataki commentary regarding his Top twenty five clash

688
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,079
in college football Colonie Shataki head coach b Yu and thanks.

689
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:54,119
Speaker 9: And then I just want to ask you about a

690
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:56,559
specific player that signed, Bob Mouli Talo.

691
00:34:57,119 --> 00:34:58,119
Speaker 5: He converted over.

692
00:34:58,079 --> 00:35:01,159
Speaker 9: From defensive line to offensive town during his prep career.

693
00:35:01,639 --> 00:35:03,960
What do you like about his potentials maybe an offensive

694
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,599
lineman in your program going forward?

695
00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 8: Well, he fits in the line of guys like Kingsley

696
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,199
and Penay, that same body type guys that can play

697
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,480
D line obviously in college and the NFL.

698
00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:17,679
Speaker 5: And the difference that I think.

699
00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 8: He's still kind of new to O line, but he's

700
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:22,840
really good at it and he can play He can

701
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,639
play either one. I mean, he can play whatever position.

702
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,440
He wants, and he's athletic enough to even play tight end,

703
00:35:28,519 --> 00:35:33,480
so he's gifted. We feel like an O line position

704
00:35:33,519 --> 00:35:35,480
would be good for him there, and we think he

705
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:38,000
can play early. We think he can compete for a

706
00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:41,960
starting spot right away. We happen to have some openings,

707
00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:45,159
but we also have some great rotation. The key is

708
00:35:45,199 --> 00:35:47,239
the best play and the good things that he's going

709
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,239
to start school in January and have a great offseason

710
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,960
going into the fall of twenty six.

711
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 4: All right, so Kilate, this is a rare thing. He

712
00:35:59,039 --> 00:35:59,679
caught himself.

713
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: He's like, we got some openings, we got good rotation,

714
00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:07,639
we got depth, we have openings. What are the openings,

715
00:36:08,119 --> 00:36:11,920
right who's gonna be graduating, who's not coming back next season?

716
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,159
There's openings for competition, is what he's getting at. You

717
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,480
don't give anything to anybody, but you know you have incumbents.

718
00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:23,719
You got guys that have put in the work. If

719
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,960
he's gonna play guard, who's gonna play tackle? He mentioned

720
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:36,519
Penna sewel Right, Outland Trophy winner Kingsley Swamatia, a phenomenal

721
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,559
tackle for the Cougs, not playing guard for the Chiefs,

722
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:43,880
so he could go inside as well. So don't be

723
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,880
surprised if Bot is starting for the Kugs next season.

724
00:36:48,519 --> 00:36:51,960
That's kind of what I took away from that particular commentary.

725
00:36:52,039 --> 00:36:54,239
Now he's at a guarantee. No, he's got to come

726
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,960
in and earn it, but he's gonna be putting some

727
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,880
heat on that offensive line unit that is ultimately retained.

728
00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:05,199
You look at the roster, you evaluate it, you look

729
00:37:05,199 --> 00:37:08,199
at guys coming back off missions, et cetera. You can

730
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,119
see how there's some opportunity at the guard or tackle position. Remember,

731
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:18,000
Isaiah Jada will be graduating. If I'm not mistaken, he'll

732
00:37:18,039 --> 00:37:22,079
be moving on. You do have your right tackle coming back,

733
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:24,239
Andrew Gentry, so he'll be back.

734
00:37:26,199 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 4: Is he a tackle? Is the question?

735
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,199
Speaker 1: Are you gonna move Andrew over to left tackle? And

736
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,760
it would Bot compete at right tackle?

737
00:37:32,559 --> 00:37:33,599
Speaker 4: Maybe? Possibly?

738
00:37:35,599 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: The guard position is one that could be open too,

739
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,760
So we'll see how it plays out, but something to

740
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,800
keep an eye on, guys. Let's get back to Kalate

741
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,760
Satake commentary.

742
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 5: Next question from Jay Hash.

743
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, plenty, just based on how thing's been yesterday with

744
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,039
new contractors reports, you're gonna have an increased amount of

745
00:37:59,119 --> 00:38:00,000
nil are you.

746
00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 9: Planning on I guess strategizing keeping recruiting centralized.

747
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 3: Are you going to want to go more national as

748
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,559
you guys get more and more prominent in terms.

749
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,119
Speaker 5: Of your recruiting prowess. We've we've always been national and recruiting.

750
00:38:13,199 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 8: I mean that just because we want the players to

751
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,159
feel value doesn't mean that we're going to change the

752
00:38:18,199 --> 00:38:21,079
way we do things our recruiting. Our recruiting would be

753
00:38:21,079 --> 00:38:23,719
the same way, but we're gonna The fact that we're

754
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,320
in the Big twelve and that we have more resources

755
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,320
now is going to allow us to get into more

756
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,559
homes and allow us to get to communicate to.

757
00:38:30,599 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 5: More people about what BYU is all about.

758
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,559
Speaker 8: And it's the mission of our school, which is aligned

759
00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:37,599
with the mission of our team and so and aligned

760
00:38:37,639 --> 00:38:40,320
with our church. The goal is to get the right fit,

761
00:38:40,639 --> 00:38:44,559
and the right fit could be you know, in Australia.

762
00:38:44,599 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 5: I don't know.

763
00:38:45,639 --> 00:38:48,159
Speaker 8: I've asked years ago for everybody to help me recruit,

764
00:38:48,679 --> 00:38:51,199
so I still need that we were we're we're going

765
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,599
to recruit globally, but also you know, focus on the

766
00:38:54,679 --> 00:38:57,320
guys here close to home and then and then there's

767
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:58,880
nothing wrong. I mean, we've gone all the way out

768
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,519
to Arkansas to get Brexcell Lindsay, Colorado, and Texas. So

769
00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:04,119
we've been a lot of different places, but I don't

770
00:39:04,119 --> 00:39:07,360
think we need to really change our protocol. We want

771
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,639
to have young men that fit the team and fit

772
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,639
the university. And then you know, and then we'll see

773
00:39:13,679 --> 00:39:16,280
that the money increased resources doesn't change the.

774
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 5: Way we do things. We have to still be we

775
00:39:18,519 --> 00:39:19,760
we want to be updated, but we.

776
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,599
Speaker 8: Want to have old school principles and old school values still.

777
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,199
Speaker 3: And just to Peggy back out that real quick, are

778
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,239
you planning on adding more recruiting.

779
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 8: Staff at some point on the line with the added

780
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:35,800
resources recruiting staff? He said, yeah, I mean within reason.

781
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,639
I just because you have I want to I want

782
00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:40,440
to make sure that there's a purpose for it all.

783
00:39:40,519 --> 00:39:43,840
You know, just because another school might have more doesn't

784
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,239
mean that we get exactly what they do. We want

785
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:47,960
to make sure that there's a there's a purpose for

786
00:39:48,039 --> 00:39:50,199
them to be here and and that there's a there's

787
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:51,079
an actual.

788
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:51,639
Speaker 5: Job for them to do.

789
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 8: So well, there's there's gonna be a lot of things

790
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,880
that we're going to improve and increase and but but

791
00:39:57,039 --> 00:39:58,960
it's all got to be within reason, and it can't

792
00:39:59,079 --> 00:40:01,320
just be We're not gonna be urging and spending where

793
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:02,360
we're gonna be.

794
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,679
Speaker 5: We're gonna be really responsible with the finances.

795
00:40:06,519 --> 00:40:12,039
Speaker 1: Okay, so interesting commentary here. There's gonna be more maybe

796
00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:14,599
an I L investment. How you're gonna utilize that n

797
00:40:14,639 --> 00:40:17,519
A l. Uh, You're you're gonna I mean, that's gonna

798
00:40:17,559 --> 00:40:20,960
be a council if you will everyone, uh, the the

799
00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:25,079
the coaches as well as the maybe the recruiting staff

800
00:40:25,079 --> 00:40:31,079
will be involved in that. But just because you have

801
00:40:31,199 --> 00:40:34,559
more money doesn't mean you're necessarily gonna bring on more staff.

802
00:40:34,679 --> 00:40:36,360
You have to have a purpose behind it. You have

803
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,719
to have a vision of how you're gonna utilize that staff.

804
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:44,079
Doze right the Department of Government Efficiency.

805
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,039
Speaker 3: Just because you have staff in place does not mean

806
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:53,719
like that they're that they're actually doing anything useful. We've

807
00:40:53,719 --> 00:41:00,440
seen waste, billions of dollars wasted in government spending. Well,

808
00:41:00,519 --> 00:41:03,280
and if you went out because the reports are or

809
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,800
at least it sounds like colonie, a big part of

810
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,719
this was to get other people paid as well. So

811
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,559
if you go out and get other people paid and

812
00:41:11,639 --> 00:41:14,159
then you bring a new staff, then you have to

813
00:41:14,199 --> 00:41:17,639
take money from somebody to give it to that new staff, sure,

814
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,599
which would kind of then defeat the purpose.

815
00:41:20,679 --> 00:41:22,599
Speaker 1: Ye, yeah, yeah, I think there's probably some validity to that.

816
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to pay your guys that have earned it.

817
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:31,679
Speaker 1: And but look, I'm open to having strategic initiative hires

818
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,800
one hundred percent within that recruiting.

819
00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 4: Uh and vetting and curating process.

820
00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: I do think getting more tentacles out there, and Klanie said, hey,

821
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,559
we got we got an army of people out there.

822
00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:47,000
They should all be recruiting to b YU. You know,

823
00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:49,360
we always we used to say every member of missionary,

824
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,639
every b YU.

825
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 4: Fan a recruiter. Now you can, now you can now

826
00:41:58,679 --> 00:42:00,159
the the This.

827
00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: Is where it gets a little tricky, right, You start recruiting,

828
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,000
you start pounding pavement for Kilane, and you hand over

829
00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:08,559
the kid and he's let's say he's a he's got

830
00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:11,360
some G six offers. They may not get back to you.

831
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,440
And then you're like, hey, I just recruited for you.

832
00:42:15,079 --> 00:42:16,880
Why don't you getting back to me about this guy

833
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,000
sending him out the camp looking for an offer?

834
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,519
Speaker 4: What's up? Oh about that? This one's not good enough?

835
00:42:24,679 --> 00:42:25,440
He's not good enough?

836
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,119
Speaker 1: Like oh, like you know, but it's important to send

837
00:42:29,199 --> 00:42:31,000
him to camps to get him out here so they

838
00:42:31,039 --> 00:42:34,480
get coaches and get eyes on anyway, that's the that's

839
00:42:34,559 --> 00:42:36,119
the trouble because.

840
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 4: There's plenty of guys out there. There's plenty of football

841
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,639
players out there that have h offers. You know, they

842
00:42:42,519 --> 00:42:45,840
they may be really good. Yeah, you're getting to the

843
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:46,360
point now.

844
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,559
Speaker 1: At BYU where they're gonna be a little bit more

845
00:42:48,639 --> 00:42:52,559
judicious who they're taking in, who they're bringing in. So

846
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,320
it's gonna be tougher now than ever. So yes, every

847
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,320
BYU fan a.

848
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 3: Recruiter, but don't get mad if they don't get back

849
00:43:02,519 --> 00:43:03,400
to you right away.

850
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,039
Speaker 4: If they and if they don't offer the kid.

851
00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 3: You know what part of this conversation, like everyone wants

852
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,440
to be a part of BYU now, I guess is

853
00:43:12,679 --> 00:43:14,199
what I'm trying to get at because I don't know

854
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,039
if you guys saw Bryce Harper was at practice with

855
00:43:17,079 --> 00:43:19,719
the yun Ye, who, by the way, did not go

856
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,840
to BYU. In fact, when he was on game day

857
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,639
I think a couple of years ago, he's like, oh,

858
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,199
I do is root against BYU?

859
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 6: Oh?

860
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 4: Really? Now?

861
00:43:27,199 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 3: Now that BYU's cool and really good and is the

862
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,519
most underrated team at all of college. For now, everybody

863
00:43:33,639 --> 00:43:36,960
wants to be a part of BYU. Well, I think

864
00:43:37,039 --> 00:43:41,639
BYU wants more p Look, the problem for BYU and

865
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,719
the LDS Church, in my opinion, has been and will

866
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,559
continue to be the lack of advocates out there, people

867
00:43:48,599 --> 00:43:50,119
that are willing to put their name on the line

868
00:43:50,159 --> 00:43:52,920
and say, no, you guys are wrong about BUYU.

869
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: You're wrong about the LDS Church. You're wrong about the Mormons.

870
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,639
You're wrong about them, like.

871
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 4: You have advocacy.

872
00:43:58,519 --> 00:44:00,519
Speaker 1: If you don't have advocacy, then peoples to keep on

873
00:44:00,599 --> 00:44:02,519
bad mouth and you can do. Going back to our

874
00:44:02,519 --> 00:44:05,639
original segment, you know, the fortification under the consent of

875
00:44:05,639 --> 00:44:07,880
the King and the Mormons, and everyone keeps on getting

876
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,760
fined for it, you know, but they're still they're muttering

877
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:11,440
it under their breath.

878
00:44:11,519 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 4: And if the Mormons, if the Mormons and the committee

879
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,679
over here, like yeah, if the Mormons, let's put them

880
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,079
eleven af the Mormons, you know it, just like you

881
00:44:20,119 --> 00:44:20,440
know what I mean.

882
00:44:20,519 --> 00:44:23,119
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's nice to have Bryce Harper, you know,

883
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,760
two time Major League Baseball m v P. You know,

884
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,079
also repping the y a little bit. We needed, We

885
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,559
need as many advocates as possible. It's possible.

886
00:44:32,639 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 4: We need we need you all.

887
00:44:34,159 --> 00:44:37,119
Speaker 1: We need him, We need the ambassador. We need the

888
00:44:37,199 --> 00:44:39,920
ambassadorship of Bryce Harper too.

889
00:44:40,559 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 4: It's nice. Anyways, let's get back to Koloni Sitzaki.

890
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 3: Next question from J Drew.

891
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:49,679
Speaker 5: Colonie.

892
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 9: This is your eleventh class that you will sign this

893
00:44:53,039 --> 00:44:54,559
month and in February.

894
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 7: Where does it rank among the eleven classes?

895
00:44:58,039 --> 00:45:01,199
Speaker 5: Big picture wise? What where is this signing class rank?

896
00:45:01,679 --> 00:45:02,000
I don't know.

897
00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:04,159
Speaker 8: I think a lot of people have different rankings, you know,

898
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,920
and kind of put the rankings up there.

899
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,119
Speaker 5: But it's interesting.

900
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,079
Speaker 8: We get guys that committed since June that had certain

901
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:11,880
amount of stars and they lose stars all of a

902
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,000
sudden because they're committed to us. And so it depends,

903
00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:17,000
you know, when you're looking at the brand and who

904
00:45:17,199 --> 00:45:20,239
people sign with all of a sudden, the people that

905
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,599
make the star system. I don't think you can bank

906
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:26,440
on that, you know. So for us, it's like what

907
00:45:26,639 --> 00:45:29,280
what what what class was? Was Chase Roberts and Tanner

908
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:30,880
Wall and all them, you know, and you look at

909
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,159
and what we've done. We went eleven and one with

910
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,559
the signing class that are are seniors now some of

911
00:45:36,599 --> 00:45:38,239
them went on missions, you know, So when you look

912
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,280
at that, I look at potential. I'm looking at the

913
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,440
potential here with this signing class, and the sky's the

914
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,559
limit for this. For this this class, we can do

915
00:45:46,679 --> 00:45:48,679
some really great things with it. But I felt the

916
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,400
same way about all the classes that we've had and

917
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,920
the current the teams that are the guys are on

918
00:45:54,039 --> 00:45:56,159
our team currently, I feel the same about them. I

919
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,320
feel like we've got a great thing going. We just

920
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,280
need to keep adding to the to the cit them

921
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,239
and these guys fit exactly what we're looking for on

922
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,519
and off the field, and we're looking forward to seeing

923
00:46:05,639 --> 00:46:08,320
what they can accomplish. But overall, we we have a

924
00:46:08,519 --> 00:46:11,840
we have our own measurement of how we're gonna judge

925
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,719
our players, and we think that's gonna work. We gotta

926
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,639
they gotta fit the culture first, because the culture will

927
00:46:16,639 --> 00:46:17,440
help us win games.

928
00:46:18,639 --> 00:46:21,599
Speaker 4: All right? All right? Uh, Brett, what do you got

929
00:46:21,679 --> 00:46:23,440
for me? Commentary? Follow up to that?

930
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 3: Salty Kilani is bat It's as soon as the season

931
00:46:29,559 --> 00:46:30,519
Kala goes, we cut that.

932
00:46:31,519 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 4: Here's Salty Klan.

933
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,639
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not looking at the playoff rankings. I'm

934
00:46:35,679 --> 00:46:39,039
not campaigning until the season's over. Season's over. Yeah, these

935
00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:42,239
recruiting places. As soon as as our guys commit to us,

936
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:43,440
then they lose stars.

937
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 4: Yes, we should be in the I lo.

938
00:46:45,639 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 3: This is my favorite version of Kilani, by the way,

939
00:46:48,119 --> 00:46:50,159
because look, I get it, he has to do the

940
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,800
coach talk thing and he's not supposed to react to

941
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,239
all the stuff that we get to react to. But

942
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,679
this is my favorite version of Kilanie where he's like

943
00:46:58,039 --> 00:47:00,679
he's just addressing the reality, where he's like, yeah, somehow

944
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,159
guys commit to us and they lose stars. What's up

945
00:47:03,199 --> 00:47:10,719
with that? Well, you are empowered. Look when leadership empowers

946
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:10,960
you and.

947
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:15,079
Speaker 4: They say, hey, you're the guy, right, and media and.

948
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: I would say analyst, I pundits, and coaches, head coaches

949
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,320
like Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire, they they step

950
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,239
up and go public and advocate. I don't know if

951
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,880
you saw this, like, for instance, Joey MacGuire's congrats to

952
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,400
the finalist the Shawn Alexander Freshman of the Year finalist

953
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:38,320

954
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,360

955
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,199
Speaker 4: Carr, Ohio State quarterback.

956
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:48,199
Speaker 1: Julian saying Joey McGuire goes on records as congress to

957
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,039
the finalists well deserve and earned. But how does a

958
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,679
BYU team that's eleven to one, led by a true

959
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,920
freshman quarterback bear backber get left off this list? What

960
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,039
I'm saying is, would you start like, you know, pushing

Speaker 1: Like it was salty Killanie just gave you the hakka,

968
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,519
the verbal hakka right there.

969
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:22,519
Speaker 3: I like it. We're big fans of salty killin here

970
00:48:22,519 --> 00:48:24,880

Speaker 4: Yeah, the biggest, the fans for salty Killane. Anything else? Ronald?

972
00:48:30,639 --> 00:48:31,880
Did you want to try? And then I heard you

973
00:48:32,599 --> 00:48:35,639
mumbling and stumbling behind that that SoundBite?

974
00:48:36,519 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 6: No, I just I was like, he's back, like, you know,

975
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,719
just when you think the kilani. This is what I

976
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,480
love about Kalanie. Just when you think that he's gone away,

977
00:48:45,559 --> 00:48:47,760
the competitive nature comes back of like what'd you say?

978
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,519
Speaker 4: It's like, it's just he never lets it go.

979
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,639
Speaker 6: Look like, don't get a twisted like and I look,

980
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,599
I hope this doesn't come off offensive. But again, Kolona,

981
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,199
the Polynesian culture very loving.

982
00:48:58,239 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 4: They blew you up.

983
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,599
Speaker 6: I had to my train. It was Polynesian from West Valley.

984
00:49:01,639 --> 00:49:04,840
Shout out to Paul A good dude, and he was

985
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,440
super nice. But when you poked him a little bit,

986
00:49:07,559 --> 00:49:09,400
he turned that head and he looked and he'd be

987
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,519
like what you say, Like he reminded you like what

988
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,559
he would come for you. He had the salt of swaggers.

989
00:49:14,639 --> 00:49:17,639
So I love that that Kilani's always having salty Coloni. Again,

990
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,639
I think it's the best reference I've had. He is

991
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,639
inside out, he is loving, he is joyful, he is salty,

992
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,159
he is anger, you name it all, and we always

993
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:27,320
get a little salty. I just hope that he's salty

994
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,679
on Saturday the Texas Tech and gets that big TWEF

995
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,519
title back to Provo.

996
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 1: Yes, Cindy, let's get back to salty Kilate during signing day.

997
00:49:39,079 --> 00:49:40,039
Speaker 3: Next question from.

998
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 7: Dana Green all right, I got one that won't get

999
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,440
you in trouble. You about some of the longer private

1000
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,000
shit to going on Twitter before I got on the

1001
00:49:48,039 --> 00:49:50,920
zoom call to see can you talk about some of

1002
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,880
the local guys who have signed and when what they're

1003
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:54,400
going to bring.

1004
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I mean they are all guys from

1005
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,079
the city of Utah have been amazing. When you got

1006
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,800
Kawa Anna and he's gonna play safety for us. He

1007
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,280
does a great job. Adam by Water, he's a Ben's

1008
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,679
little brother and a little big brother, you know. So

1009
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,239
he's lie back at Olympus. Those guys can play and

1010
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,199
there will be a defensive side along with you know,

1011
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,480
Junior Walla from Oorum. He's disruptive and has tons of

1012
00:50:18,519 --> 00:50:22,039
stats and he's he's a force, you know, and so

1013
00:50:22,199 --> 00:50:25,400
he he's he's nice out of the group. And you know,

1014
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,159
when you look at the offensive guys, you you add

1015
00:50:28,199 --> 00:50:32,639
into the Devon Nika from Lehigh running back legend Glasger

1016
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,360
his teammate and and and those guys are family to

1017
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,760
Isaiah Glasker. So uh, there's a gene there that allows

1018
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,159
him to be super fast. And then you know he

1019
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,840
got a big time playmaker Brock Harrison's down there in

1020
00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:49,719
Saint George area out of pie out of out of

1021
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,840
pine View High School. And then combine that with Graham

1022
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,440
Livingston h He's a big playmaker receiver out of Ridge Line.

1023
00:50:56,559 --> 00:50:59,360
So you look at the these type of playmakers, they're

1024
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,519
they're all they all make a difference. And we have

1025
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,199
other guys that are still like you know, we're looking

1026
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,159
in this entire classroom that we're hopefully looking to add

1027
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:11,159
some more, maybe a couple more, a few more in

1028
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,039
this class and then and then looking to add a

1029
00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:17,039
few more in February when that happens, and that with

1030
00:51:17,119 --> 00:51:19,599
the combination of some people that will get in the

1031
00:51:19,679 --> 00:51:22,360
in the transferportal when when that does open, we'll take

1032
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,400
a look at that and see what we have there

1033
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:25,440
that will fit our program.

1034
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: Kalani sitak, Ladies and gentlemen, Look, Kilani is in a

1035
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,679
situation right now where he's got a ton of momentum

1036
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:44,079
and you're hoping, praying that he is ready to capitalize

1037
00:51:44,119 --> 00:51:47,599
on this momentum going into Arlington in playing Texas Tech.

1038
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,039
That's what you hope you know what I mean, that's

1039
00:51:50,079 --> 00:51:53,599
what you pray for. I ran into here at Arthur

1040
00:51:53,679 --> 00:51:57,159
Prose of Utah and American Ford, a FedEx River.

1041
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 4: He's a big BYU fan. We chatted for a little bit.

1042
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,599
He's like, I'm gonna come back. I gotta to work.

1043
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,119
I'm wanna come I'm gonna come back.

1044
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you all the reasons why b YU

1045
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,880
is gonna win a national championship this year.

1046
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, I love that positivity, love that optimism. Cougarnation.

1047
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: Feeling good right now, feeling good like they should says

1048
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:28,000
the song right. So intriguties excited and you can tell

1049
00:52:28,159 --> 00:52:32,000
Kilani was pretty amped about his signing class. Do we

1050
00:52:32,039 --> 00:52:37,400
have any other soundbites from Killani? Let's do one more,

1051
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,800
Let's do one more question. We'll come back, Uno Maas

1052
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,000
as national.

1053
00:52:42,679 --> 00:52:45,119
Speaker 7: As this program has gone, can you just discuss the

1054
00:52:45,639 --> 00:52:48,639
the importance of staying locally. You've always wanted to recruit local.

1055
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,679
How key is it to keep these guys home?

1056
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's great football in the state of Utah, and

1057
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:57,199
so we wanna we wanna recruit here first. And you

1058
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,320
know that it's one to take care of our backyard first,

1059
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,480
and that's gonna be the key and a good number

1060
00:53:03,559 --> 00:53:06,159
of our roster comes from the state of Utah, but

1061
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,199
we also want to make sure that we look at

1062
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,239
other places that a place people that can fit what

1063
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,880
we're doing here. It's a good mix. I think half

1064
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,000
our classes out of the state. That's a good number

1065
00:53:17,039 --> 00:53:21,039
when you're looking at our year, our every year our

1066
00:53:21,119 --> 00:53:23,320
sighting classes have been around that and so I think

1067
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,719
that's a good good mix right there. And then you

1068
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,039
think they they got to play football first, they have

1069
00:53:29,119 --> 00:53:30,119
to be able to do it, and you have to

1070
00:53:30,159 --> 00:53:32,800
have the talent. I don't really care where they come from.

1071
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,719
It's just a lot easier when you don't have to

1072
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,119
jump on a plane to go recruit them.

1073
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 10: Last question will be from Brandon Gurney in Claudia to

1074
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,880
the standoutible tight ads to your four star prospects and

1075
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,079
broadcast and Hi, I'm just gonna call them tie from Colorado.

1076
00:53:49,119 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 5: I'm gonna Butcher's what I stay.

1077
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,519
Speaker 7: But and then you got Ryn re Swanson on his

1078
00:53:52,599 --> 00:53:54,400
mission I kind of speak about.

1079
00:53:54,199 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 5: The tight end futures and just those two specifically what

1080
00:53:57,599 --> 00:53:58,559
they add to that position.

1081
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,519
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's awesome when you're looking at the

1082
00:54:01,559 --> 00:54:03,920
tight end position and you have, like you know, Parker

1083
00:54:04,039 --> 00:54:07,039
ord out of out of Frisco, Texas, and so I

1084
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:10,920
mean it's those guys can all play. The hard thing

1085
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,119
is that they're going on missions, you know, so uh

1086
00:54:13,199 --> 00:54:15,840
we've got to wait for them. But there's always a

1087
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,239
good amount of people that go in and out from

1088
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,519
them from returning in from the missions and and uh

1089
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,119
guys that we can get in the transfer portal. But uh,

1090
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:25,960
you know, it's it's helpful that when you know you

1091
00:54:26,039 --> 00:54:28,559
have big time ball ball ball players that are out

1092
00:54:28,639 --> 00:54:31,519
on missions and and and willing to serve a mission,

1093
00:54:31,559 --> 00:54:32,960
that's gonna be key for us. I think there'll be

1094
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,280
great teammates and great leaders for us. And for me

1095
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,039
it's like it's like hurry up, hurry and wait, you

1096
00:54:39,119 --> 00:54:42,480
know for that situation. But uh that the mission programs

1097
00:54:42,519 --> 00:54:44,280
that we're always gonna support. I serve the mission.

1098
00:54:44,679 --> 00:54:45,199
Speaker 5: So I get it.

1099
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 8: And I think it's gonna be really helpful when when

1100
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,360
we get these guys back serving wherever they they're called

1101
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,039
to serve the missions and doing some wonderful things. It's

1102
00:54:54,039 --> 00:54:56,039
gonna it's gonna make them even better as leaders.

1103
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,559
