Its welcome to Kyle Collinsworth to the show. Kyle, How
that are you, buddy? Your brother doing fantastic? Man Great
to have you on again. Give us an update. How's
the fam? How are things with you with work and
uh and everything that's keeping you busy these days?
Speaker 3: Everything's good. Just a lot of basketball trainings, health coaching.
Family is good, is healthy? Healthy? Happy?
Speaker 2: Hey man, I love what you're doing in the community
with getting people healthy and strong and getting them on
the right track. Give us a little bit more detail.
We got a lot of guys that listen to the show.
It's the new Year, which means we're all trying to
be the new you, right, We're trying to be the
new person that we want to be.
Speaker 4: Kind of these New Year's residutions.
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about what you hear from
people that are maybe coming to you for help to
get back into shape and getting healthy and strong for
the new year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think most people are just burnout on willpower.
You know, they relied on discipline and willpower to change
their health. And the niche that I have is we
rely more on strategy and creating a lifestyle versus a diet.
So my big niche is a ninety day program where
we based on your circumstances, your schedule, we build a
plan that's obtainable for you. You focus on one habit at
a time, and we get momentum and people see success
because you know, they avoid too much too soon.
Speaker 2: Love that you got to create strategies right and a
lot of people just don't know where to start.
Speaker 4: Where do you typically start them out?
Speaker 3: At first mid of the day. You gotta think a lot.
I can win my first meal to day. That's one
third of the meals I eat, and if I can
get really good at that, and then later down the road,
I can get the rest. But just chipping away at
the problem with a daet. A diet is like all
or nothing mindset. As soon as we mess up right
quote unquote, we think we failed, and we don't realize
the progress that we've made. So focusing on the first
meal of the day, lots of protein, lots of healthy fats,
reduces cravings, increases energy, and then we're just set up
for the day. So that's a place that you usually
like to start for bust people.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of times you've advocated for people
just just get up and walk.
Speaker 4: Just walk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just find a place to walk for thirty minutes,
just to start out simple.
Speaker 3: Things, absolutely, and it builds momentum. Whenever you get on
a walk, you just start thinking good, you feel better.
So I always tell people if you're currently doing nothing
five minutes, so something is improvement. So don't be free
to start small and so you can be consistent because
without consistency.
Speaker 2: You're not going to get any Mister triple double, Kyle
Collinsworth here on your Utah ESPN Radio network. We want
to talk some BLAU basketball with you as well. But
what's the best way to reach out to you to
get started and just to do something.
Speaker 3: Probably on social media, just on x my main hub
for my health stuff. Just DM me, reach out to
me and I'm happy to point in the right direction.
Speaker 2: Collinsworth fifty five Collinsworth fifty five. Kyle, what do you
make of this Blau basketball team?
Speaker 4: What do you like about it?
Speaker 3: I like that we have a lot of firepower. I
think coming down the end of the season, it's important
to have. You know, we have three guys that can
go get a bucket and in March, end of February, March,
that's a bigger deal. People realize, all right now we're
trying to figure out work out the kings of you know,
when you have three great players, trying to figure out
who's turn is into attack and trying to get each
other involved a little bit better. So that's our our
challenge right now for BOU basketball.
Speaker 2: I've been breaking down the BA basketball team, and there
are some people that are leaning more pessimistic. I'm leading
more optimistic. I remember last year, Casey, we had you on,
we were talking ball BYU wasn't like trending necessarily in
the right rick. So they were trending in the wrong direction,
and so they're kind of just they're a good team.
Speaker 4: That wasn't necessarily like dominant.
Speaker 2: This was around the same time, late January, early February.
Kble I figured it out. The team started melding and
measuring and playing great ball. Yegor Or really started to playing beastball.
You stated, I'm a firm believer in this Boa basketball team.
It's about playing good at the right time. Momentum is coming.
Why do you believe that? Why you optimistic?
Speaker 3: I just think because we have the We have the firepower.
I mean, we have a big three. The more we
played together, the more chemistry we're gonna build. That It's
tough to guard three players in March, it really is.
So we have the firepower. I think right now we're
working out how to get you know, more chemistry, looking
to get each other going a little bit more, a
little bit more balld movement. But like, we got the ponies,
and sometimes you do. You either have them or you don't,
and we got them. So that's what I like about
bag baskets.
Speaker 2: K Wise said he's gonna throw up the next time
he hears that. Dyus like the best team in college
basketball in the in the second half, but you know
they they're probably in the Yeah, I know, they were
in like the seventy range as far as scoring, in
efficiency and even defense efficiency in the first half. How
would you diagnose the first half woes? Of BYU basketball.
Why is it that they're so good in the second
half but kind of struggle they get down. I mean
there's four games that they've been down twenty before roaring
back in the second half.
Speaker 4: What do you make of it?
Speaker 3: I would say that the second half they get rhythm, scoring,
they get more comfortable. But in my opinion with the
first half is on the team, there's not really a
guy that's solely looking to get others going and get
him involves. I think that's one piece we're missing on
this team versus last year's team. Last year's team we
had two guys that did that, Dallin and Yegor, and
so I think that's why we started a little slow,
as everyone's trying to find their own rhythm, which isn't
bad because it's kind of their style of play. But
we don't have one guy that's out there looking to
get other people's rhythms started. But I do think we
have the ability to do it. There's some guys that
can do it for sure.
Speaker 2: As far as UH the depth is inserted, you said
you got the big three, you got the uh the
triple combination, as Jerem Jordan likes to call it. Some
people call it the brig three. What do we have
with our supporting cast right now? Who's gonna step up
in that supporting cast role?
Speaker 4: Do you think casey?
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not sure to be honest, but I think
I think there's gonna be a surprise step up that
hasn't got a lot of minutes lightly coming in. I'll
let you guys figure out who I'm talking about. But
someone who's barely played this year is gonna step up
coming up down the stretch.
Speaker 4: I'm hoping it's Alexi.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping it's a Lexi Coaster because he's got a
he's got a smooth stroke. He actually looked pretty good
defensively in the u of a game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's That's not what I'm thinking of. But he
could help a lot with the shop for sure.
Speaker 4: Mat Well, I'll let you guys.
Speaker 3: I'll let you guys think that over.
Speaker 4: Okay, we'll think it over.
Speaker 2: I won't guess, uh, but uh, I think I know
maybe where you're leaning. Uh. After I was able to
get that one out of the way, Well, is uh
is BAU Basketball's issues?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: You know, is do they think? Do you think they
have issues? Defensively? At all, Or do you feel like, hey,
this team is defensively more sound than even last year's
team because we went out and we got some guys
to defend the perimeter in the portal. We've had some injuries,
no doubt, But do you feel like BLA defensively in
February and going into March is gonna be better than
they were last year? See?
Speaker 3: I think so, because I think the closer we get,
you're gonna get all five guys locked in defensively. The
problem with having a small bench, the biggest problem, in
my opinion, is that you're big three. They're afraid to
foul in foul trouble, and their minutes are so high
and they're relied on so much offensively that naturally they
kind of take their little let off. The gas is
on defensive any because you can't be over aggressive, you
don't a foul, you can't like completely burn yourself out.
So they're trying to find that balance. But the closer
we get to marsh Forever games you or die, you're
gonna see You're gonna see the best defensive efforts we've
seen all year.
Speaker 2: The Todd King dropped thirty three in the Kansas Kansas
game at fog Allen and Jonathan Gravoni gave a breakdown
of his legitimacy as not only an All American candidate,
but maybe an NFL or an NBA draft pick. Where
do you think Where do you think Richie's gonna go
in the NBA draft after this year?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I'm hoping he goes late for shround.
I don't know. It's a it's a very loaded draft
last and he's definitely a top thirty player draft. But
I know how the draft works. They're they focus on
age more than anything, which I don't always agree with
because it doesn't always work out for But so his
age is this thing that's not going for. But I
do think if he gets the right opportunity, he's gonna
make a splash. He'll find a role, you know. I
mean Alex Caruso. Pe don't realize he played in the
G League a couple of years and he wasn't really
a star in the G League. I remember playing him
like thinking like this kid's not good. Like I was like,
this kid's not very good. But he found a role
in the NBA that fit his you know, his game
and he got the confidence, and when you get confidence,
it's over from there. And so he just needs to
find a role where he can can shine in his abilities.
So I'm hoping he can find one.
Speaker 4: Is your is your player cop Alex carusa for Richie?
Is that where you'd lean towards.
Speaker 3: No, I'm hoping he can have an Alex Caruso type
role on a tea where he can where he can shine.
But no, definite. I don't have a confidence Richie. To
be honest, he's a player. I don't have one.
Speaker 4: YEA.
Speaker 2: I was kind of hoping like he you know, I
look at his body type and like I wonder how
much lean muscle mass can he put on his frame?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: You know through through progress, right, you know, year over
year progress and if you're becoming more dance becoming Think
he's not as tall and it may be as but
I feel like he's as long as Gordon Hayward. But
like I feel like Gordon came into the league like
really felt and then like he put on like lean
muscle mass.
Speaker 4: And became explosive. Can Richie do something similar? Do you
know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know. Their rules are very different Gordon's like,
he's obviously a couple of inches bigger, two bigger. Yeah,
he's more of like a smoother scorer in a sense. Yeah,
Like he's a really good one in one player. I
don't know Richie's comparison, but I do know he can
shoot the ball, and he's got harder, he's got effort.
He finishes really well at the rim too. People. He's
probably I think he's why he's best finish you're at
the rev. He's really good around the rin both hands,
and he keeps getting better. He's gonna work hard. So
whoever drafts him or whoever he ends up on is
gonna get the full effort for Ritchie, He's gonna I
hope he ends up that like in Indiana with Rick Carlisle,
because he's loving.
Speaker 4: Uh. Darren Peterson versus A. G.
Speaker 2: Debosa, Right, aj has Uh has been impressive this season,
as has Derek Peterson. Darren's been load managing, He's had
some injuries, et cetera. He looks really good last night
versus Tech. Obviously, he looks fantastic in the first half
versus b yu Uh. The twenty NBA scouts who were
polled on who they take number one in the draft.
Darren Peterson with twelve votes, A J. Debonson with eight,
Cam Boozer with zero.
Speaker 4: Who do you think goes number one overall in the
NBA draft? Peterson or Debotso.
Speaker 3: I do think there's a lot of situation all night
depends on who gets the number one little.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 3: So as far as like he's just like super ready,
college is almost a little be honest, he's a skilled
and so I think he's more NBA ready, But I
also think AJ has more NBA.
Speaker 2: Sounds like we may have lost Kyle there. He's driving
with the fam. Uh but uh it sounds like he's uh.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: It's situational, right, depends who gets the first pick in
the NBA draft, who gets the loudery pick a J
versus Darren.
Speaker 4: Some teams are gonna pick a J. Some people are
gonna pick Darren Peterson. Kyle' also stand all right, come Kyle,
you're still there?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I got you. Now.
Speaker 2: You also stated that Darren Peterson is You said he's
the most NBA ready guard prospects since Kyrie Irving skills
and talent are NBA ready.
Speaker 4: He's a smooth score man.
Speaker 2: What do you see in his scoring ability how you
know he is an impressive specimen with the ball in
his hands.
Speaker 3: Yeah, extremely athletic. He's got a great feel for the game.
He's just like it's like Kyrie, you can't rush him.
He gets to his spots. He's a three level scorer.
He's got a smooth, smooth shot, and so he reminds
you of Kyary. You're not so much in style of play,
but just the fact that he's so skilled and talented.
It's al much as if like he needed to skip
college and since.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it would have been.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you think that that will come back
at any time where you can just go straight from
high school or prep school and go to the league.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 3: Know and money. I don't know if as it ever will.
But sometimes there's some guys that come around where you're like,
he just needs to go to the NBA, And I
think one of those guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kyle, let's rehash real quick, those that are tuning
in that want to change the way that their body
is built. They want to get into a healthy state.
They want to maybe lose weight, they just want to
be healthier. They want to be happier.
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 2: What products and services do you provide those that are
that are looking for that, especially amongst the mail population.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a ninety day program. There's three levels
to it, three different options, and my whole goal is
to teach clients in ninety days how to live a
healthy lifestyle, not a diet. Not let's see how fast
we can get healthy, like a real lifestyle where you're
learning the strategies it takes to be healthy.
Speaker 2: Love it, man, and no final thing here. Yeah, I
remember you player in basketball BYU. You rupture your your
ACL in two thousand and fourteen, you were told you
were recovery take nine to twelve months. You fully recovered
in under six months and ended up being the NCAA
triple double record holder. Not because the shortcuts, not crash dieting.
What did you actually do? That's what they're gonna find
out when they align with you.
