WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Silbert and now we have Henry with breaking news.

2
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.919
<v Speaker 2>This is Eye on the Ball, breaking news on Fox Sports.

3
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 3>Fourteen fifty Suns forward Kevin Durant will be out one

4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:13.400
<v Speaker 3>week with a left ankle spring.

5
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>The thin man continues to get injured. Unbelievable.

6
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 4>You can pretty much count on him being out what

7
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 4>quarter of the season usually.

8
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're pretty good when they're together.

9
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they've been great. They're in the midst of this

10
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:35.200
<v Speaker 4>what this NBA Cup thing, right, So I don't know,

11
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 4>it's disappointing because when they do play, when those three

12
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 4>guys play together, are pretty tough to beat.

13
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

14
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.359
<v Speaker 3>The college football playoff ring games came out last night.

15
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 3>Oregon remains at the number one spot. SMU, if they

16
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 3>win the ACC championship game on Saturday, would be the

17
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 3>number three. Ohio Satom's moved down to number six and

18
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 3>Miami has moved down to number twelve.

19
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So SMU plays Clemson. Yeah, yeah for the tunnle. So

20
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>if they don't win, they're out. So there were a

21
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>three year out.

22
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Uh, there's a lot of speculation whether if sm loses,

23
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 3>could they still make it, could they still whether they're

24
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 3>losing a conference championship game.

25
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Would the committee take that against it and if an

26
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>issue doesn't win, they're out, right, Yeah, they would be out.

27
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 1>The winner of that game goes in and as a

28
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>twelve losers out and the losers out. So it's it's

29
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty crazy.

30
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 4>They're really sort of seems like they're trying to get

31
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 4>rid of these conference championship games because you're right, I mean,

32
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 4>if you lose, you're almost better off not playing in

33
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 4>one of those games.

34
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Well you kind of already who hated the conference more

35
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 1>than look? Oh yeah, it's more forever, more games, more games,

36
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and what do we have to prove we already played

37
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 1>eighteen games? Yeah?

38
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.079
<v Speaker 4>Well this is really I mean, you know, up until

39
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 4>this year, this is kind of how it worked. But

40
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 4>now all of a sudden, it's like, whita, wait a second,

41
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 4>what if we what if we don't play? What if

42
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 4>we're one of those teams that just is, you know,

43
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 4>sit on the sidelines this week. We're still going to

44
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 4>get in the top twelve, right, Yeah, what's more important?

45
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Right then the tournament saying talking to you Alabama things

46
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 1>like that.

47
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Jack's quarterback Trevor Lawrence will go to the i

48
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 3>R after suffering the concussion last week.

49
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>What did you think about the fine? It's so debatable.

50
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>What was the fine total?

51
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 5>Three?

52
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 3>It was three three games suspend.

53
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what to find.

54
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's appealing it now, of course. Yeah, any apologizes,

55
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 1>so so I that rule obvious obviously favorites the offensive,

56
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 1>and it has for a long time. Right. Have you

57
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>ever been a car crash, and I use this example,

58
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 1>you have been that bad no no kar crash where

59
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you're driving and somebody else driving and you see it's happening.

60
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>You can't and you cannot avoid it. You're gonna get

61
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>hit or you're gonna hit somebody, Right, That's what this is.

62
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Because it's so bang bang, How are you going to

63
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>contort your body otherwise? I know he's done this in

64
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 1>the past and all that stuff, but you know what

65
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, it's just like, oh crap, I'm stuck and

66
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I have to go hit him, Like I'm I'm gonna

67
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 1>hit him. You're talking about the defensive defensive, Yeah, you

68
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>see it all the time. How do you change your

69
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.479
<v Speaker 1>body when you've already the missile's already been launched.

70
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, I mean I guess as part of the

71
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.120
<v Speaker 4>training you go through as a defensive player knowing you

72
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 4>can't do that, and you got to figure out, you

73
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 4>know the best way to slow down stop, Well, turn

74
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 4>your body, get away, don't go head first into the game.

75
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, i'll give you another example. And you see the

76
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 1>games a few times with Patrick Mahomes runs with the

77
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>ball right and pretends he's gonna get out of the

78
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>sideline and then he stays in and he gets another

79
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>ten yards. Yeah, and you can't touch him because well

80
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>he's right there, Patrick Mahomes, Yeah, you can't do that. Yeah,

81
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>it was. That was pretty brutal. Oh yeah, no question,

82
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>very brutal, no question. I feel for the guy, but

83
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess those are the rules, right. It was like

84
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.919
<v Speaker 1>when was it Umanu who got kicked out? When you yeah,

85
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>and what are you gonna do? I mean, he was

86
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 1>already kind of going that way to hit the guy. Yeah,

87
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he didn't intend to, but that's what happened. Yeah.

88
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 3>So Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold, the number three recruit last year,

89
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 3>has entered the transfer portal today.

90
00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Crazy, No one's happy anymore because he wasn't gonna play.

91
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean what, I don't know. He didn't play right,

92
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 1>he sat out.

93
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 3>No, he should played. He did play this year. Yeah,

94
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 3>but he was the he was he was a part

95
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 3>time showter. He was the starter, but then he got

96
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 3>benched and then he like on and off.

97
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be so much good talent out there. Maybe

98
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>if you get benched to play, it's that's well, Caleb,

99
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>who is the guy he replaced it? He's a New

100
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Orleans Saints now up right?

101
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 4>So you know I couldn't keep track of his career.

102
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 4>Wasn't he at South Carolina?

103
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:30.079
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

104
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's from Phoenix, Phoenix area.

105
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Ravens wide receiver Deontay Johnson has been suspended one game

106
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 3>by the team for refusing to enter the game Sunday

107
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 3>versus the Eagles.

108
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>What did he do?

109
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 3>I guess he wasn't happy about the snaps and then

110
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 3>they told him he could come in and he didn't

111
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:49.839
<v Speaker 3>want to get He.

112
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Was unhappy that he wasn't playing, so that he refused

113
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>to go play. Yeah, what the hell? Hey, Henry, go

114
00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 1>write this story. I don't want to why because you

115
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 1>don't get me enough signments? What conduct detrimental to the team?

116
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 1>They say, no, crad that means almost said, I almost

117
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>said the n sport refusing to enter our game. That's

118
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.759
<v Speaker 1>what GM said. Would you he's the guy? If you

119
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.879
<v Speaker 1>were Jay right now, guess what Jay would say, Cut

120
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the guy. Cut the guy if he doesn't want to play.

121
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>He's making millions and he don't want to play. He

135
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 1>don't think so. What a talent? Too too big? Well,

136
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.720

<v Speaker 1>in Kentucky lost last night. Yeah they lost to Yeah,

153
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.199
<v Speaker 1>I saw something that game great, they were Okay. It's

154
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 1>a road game though, yeah whereas it that's in Omaha. Yeah,

155
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be tough. It's a great game to watch basketball.

156
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.839
<v Speaker 3>It's big, like do we know how soon until Arizona

157
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.120
<v Speaker 3>is allowed to play in these like the Big twelve

158
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 3>biggest things?

159
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.959
<v Speaker 1>No, No, that'll be fun, that's right. Yeah, why that

160
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.000
<v Speaker 1>should be happening. I would think there's too many teams.

161
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Right, I probably scheduled it too long.

162
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm sure.

163
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.800

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you kind of cold lose again. We do want

166
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to get him upset explosion, that's all I got. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>this next probably a week or so.

174
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean you go to those websites and you see,

175
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean they've got these like defensive linemen have video,

176
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.759
<v Speaker 4>you know, clips of themselves.

177
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>So there's no surprises.

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.759
<v Speaker 4>Three three three year starter get out of Hawaii six

179
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 4>foot four eighty pounds Jvan Goo g oo.

00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.279
<v Speaker 1>What do you think the you got here in eighty three?

181
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.759
<v Speaker 1>I got here in eighty seven, and I'm I know

182
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>people text me and said, well, you're the pragmatic one,

183
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'm I can't. People say I'm just the negative one.

184
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah. What do you think?

185
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:38.639
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

186
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.879
<v Speaker 1>And now that you're not selling for Arizona or whatever. Uh.

187
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 1>And yesterday we had don calling it that Arizona's not

188
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State, they're not Notre Dame, they're not these schools.

189
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.879
<v Speaker 1>So stop thinking that. Uh, Hunley agreed. And you could

190
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 1>think maybe you're that good, but you're not, so stop

191
00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.080
<v Speaker 1>stop acting like you are.

192
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 4>Right, we don't have the resources, we don't have the

193
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.120
<v Speaker 4>ni L, we don't have fan support. We're not you know,

194
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 4>there's a ways to go, and it's it's kind of

195
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 4>tough to just kind of watch. And now you're like,

196
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, we've talked about them moving into a new

197
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 4>conference and trying to compete with some of these schools

198
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 4>that do have established traditions and maybe you know, have

199
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 4>a head start on on the u of A. But

200
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 4>it's it's not the same. We just don't have the

201
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:24.080
<v Speaker 4>cash and.

202
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Don't have the you know, the players and the history

203
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.879
<v Speaker 1>and the history, right, you know, one hundred years of

204
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:33.559
<v Speaker 1>football couldn't get to the Rose Bowl, right, Well, there's hey,

205
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.039
<v Speaker 1>the Defense Rescue honer right there. But you know there

206
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>are occasions every certain amount of years that something will

207
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 1>happen good and they'll they'll act like they're the number

208
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>one team in the country, and many times it happens,

209
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, so randomly, right, and Okay.

210
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:51.200
<v Speaker 4>There's always going to be like the Indiana's look what

211
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:52.120
<v Speaker 4>Indiana did this year?

212
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.639
<v Speaker 1>Doing it? Yeah, predict exactly exactly.

213
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's teams have broken through and some teams

214
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 4>have stayed. Boise State by you, teams that were nobody

215
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 4>or maybe not by you, but Boise State for sure,

216
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 4>no one ever heard of them until you know, they

217
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.759
<v Speaker 4>kind of broke through years ago and got him on

218
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.679
<v Speaker 4>TV on Thursday nights and you know kind of established

219
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.320
<v Speaker 4>themselves that well.

220
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, looking now, Colorado the Darlings last year and again

221
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.120
<v Speaker 1>because of the coach. Otherwise no one would have given

222
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 1>damn no. And now he's kind of proved people a

223
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of people wrong, well and maybe a lot of

224
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 1>people right. I don't know.

225
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, because that sounds like he's getting you know,

226
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 4>five star quarterbacks and people like that to replace his son.

227
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I I don't know if I whether believed his situation

228
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:34.919
<v Speaker 1>or not. But I know a lot of people didn't.

229
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>That was all smoking mirrors and you know, he was

230
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.159
<v Speaker 1>being Dione and all these things, and he was just

231
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.799
<v Speaker 1>doing it for the cameras. But but he's showing results.

232
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Arizona would kill for that. Let's see though.

233
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:49.639
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's gonna be interesting because you know he

234
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.799
<v Speaker 4>kind of has followed his son and and Travis Hunter

235
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 4>around the country.

236
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Well I think they followed him. No, yeah, because they

237
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 1>were they were they were going to take chests. That's true, Okay,

238
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 1>but big I was just gonna say, once.

239
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 4>They're finished, you know, is Deion gonna feel like he's

240
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.799
<v Speaker 4>just stranded? They're in Boulder without the family.

241
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, it's probably not well. And we'll see how

242
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:12.519
<v Speaker 1>long he says. That's right, That's kind of what I

243
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>was getting. But I think you have to get say

244
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:17.799
<v Speaker 1>that he might be a pretty good coach, or at

245
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.919
<v Speaker 1>least a facilitator like Jet. Do you know how good

246
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:23.399
<v Speaker 1>of a coaching Jet is? Yeah? Who knows? Who knows?

247
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't. But he did a good job, you know, Hey,

248
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.159
<v Speaker 1>more power to him. He did a good job. And

249
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.440
<v Speaker 1>this is not the bag Jet He's done. He did

250
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 1>a good job. Look look how bad they were three

251
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:33.679
<v Speaker 1>years ago.

252
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, I think as we talked about earlier too,

253
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 4>is the coaches and the coaching staff you put together.

254
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 4>And there was obviously something wrong this year with the

255
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.279
<v Speaker 4>football staff. And it didn't take long for him to

256
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 4>make a quick change in that offensive coordinator, gig you know,

257
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 4>pretty early in the season. So you know that had

258
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.840
<v Speaker 4>to kind of jolt in the offense, like, wait a second,

259
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.559
<v Speaker 4>who's in charge? Why are we making a change here

260
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:55.240
<v Speaker 4>in game four?

261
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, jolts probably not the right answer, because there

262
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.919
<v Speaker 1>was no jolt in that offense. They were never jolted.

263
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Did they even realize it? That was like taking the

264
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 1>batteries out of the car. What's wrong with this thing?

265
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And you kept flipping the batteries and turning it back on,

266
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and well, this is not working either. It's probably the car.

267
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, meantime, you asked me about the Sionees. They did

268
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 4>get this four star wide receiver from Florida, Isaiah Myzelle.

269
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:19.759
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure we could talk to Matt Mourno about Yeah,

270
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 4>a number of three stars from all over Texas, cal California, Chandler,

271
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.960
<v Speaker 4>a handful from Texas, so kind of the unusual, usual suspects,

272
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 4>usual locations for Arizona in the Bay area San Antonio.

273
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Also, did you know that rich Rod was doing pretty

274
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:40.879
<v Speaker 1>well Jacksonville State. I think he has a big game

275
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:43.200
<v Speaker 1>this weekend to get to the playoffs. I think he's

276
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 1>eight and four.

277
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 4>Was that not a rumor that rich Rod might want

278
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:48.240
<v Speaker 4>to come back in the offensive?

279
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>You read Twitter putting that news out. Everybody they've seen

280
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:57.639
<v Speaker 1>rich Rod around, that's what they're where he was at market. Yeah,

281
00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of craps. I hate I hate Twitter, right,

282
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff. Anybody could fill stuff on the wall,

283
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, But that's funny. That's funny. So someone's around

284
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>to what then' his kid? His son played at point? Right?

285
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>So you're talking about someone Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I

286
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>think he's long gone. I think so. Yeah, because that's

287
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 1>where you did. People would see him watching. I ran

288
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.039
<v Speaker 1>into him. We have the same dentist, I know three

289
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 1>years ago and and I was was he was doing

290
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 1>the mass he was doing COVID and I'm thinking, oh, hello,

291
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.799
<v Speaker 1>and we shook hands and I'm thinking, man, he lost

292
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of weight, and I'm thinking we're all very massive.

293
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 1>That's Kevin. Somebody looks really good. And I say Steve River.

294
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>He says, yeah, I know who you are. It was

295
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>like like really, yeah, I know what you wrote about me.

296
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I saw him out at a restaurant once. That's about

297
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.399
<v Speaker 1>that's about the old you know. I wasn't in the

<v Speaker 5>Modimo, absolutely anytime.

415
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:15.640
<v Speaker 1>How did the Arizona Fair?

416
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:20.240
<v Speaker 5>I think I was expected. I mean it's interesting because

417
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:22.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, I think a lot of people are having

418
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.119
<v Speaker 5>this idea or this kind of feeling that you know,

419
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 5>are in this business and cover these things kind of regularly,

420
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.559
<v Speaker 5>and you have covered them in the past. It feels

421
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.119
<v Speaker 5>very uneventful this year as opposed to other years, and

422
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:36.480
<v Speaker 5>I think that's just kind of everything kind of lining up.

423
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.440
<v Speaker 5>Where you have transfer portal. It's obviously a different time

424
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:43.119
<v Speaker 5>of year than you know, when the early signing period

425
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:44.920
<v Speaker 5>it's usually a little bit closer to Christmas, and so

426
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:47.400
<v Speaker 5>you kind of had have had some time to kind

427
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.799
<v Speaker 5>of digest the end of the football season. But you're

428
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.960
<v Speaker 5>just jumping right into it after you know, the end

429
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.839
<v Speaker 5>of the regular season last week, and so for whatever reason,

430
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.759
<v Speaker 5>it just feels kind of uneventful in a lot of ways.

431
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.559
<v Speaker 5>There wasn't a lot of surprises for many many teams

432
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:02.000
<v Speaker 5>across the country. There weren't a ton of big names

433
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.599
<v Speaker 5>that were you know, moving teams or anything like that.

434
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.559
<v Speaker 5>So it was pretty standard for most programs, and I

435
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:09.200
<v Speaker 5>think you could throw Arizona into that one as well.

436
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:11.240
<v Speaker 5>There was there weren't a ton of surprises that everything

437
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.680
<v Speaker 5>kind of went as expected, I think for Arizona.

438
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 1>So so do you think that it's going to be

439
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:19.519
<v Speaker 1>the case moving forward given that I think the Christmas

440
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.759
<v Speaker 1>time the Christmas time. But this whole thing is the

441
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.720
<v Speaker 1>transfer portal, Yeah.

442
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:28.720
<v Speaker 5>It's it's gonna be really interesting. I'm as it was

443
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.720
<v Speaker 5>kind of playing out this week, and it kind of

444
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:35.039
<v Speaker 5>started last week where recruits start to you know, say

445
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:36.720
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to this school or I'm picking this school,

446
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.559
<v Speaker 5>and it was funny because I thought, it doesn't matter

447
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.440
<v Speaker 5>when you put this date, when you have this early

448
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.920
<v Speaker 5>signing period or whatever signing period, everything's going to kind

449
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.400
<v Speaker 5>of just shift with it. And it just felt like,

450
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:49.680
<v Speaker 5>all right, we've done this before, it's just a different time,

451
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.720
<v Speaker 5>and so I'll be interested to see kind of what happens.

452
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.160
<v Speaker 5>I know a lot of coaches are really in favor

453
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:58.960
<v Speaker 5>of having one in the summer and being able to

454
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.759
<v Speaker 5>get a lot of their fruiting done in the summer

455
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 5>months and not have to worry about it at all

456
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.039
<v Speaker 5>this time of year and then can put their sole

457
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:09.200
<v Speaker 5>focus on either transfer portal stuff or just the season.

458
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 5>And so I know there's a lot of coaches who

459
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.359
<v Speaker 5>would rather have that, and so that's one idea. We'll

460
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.119
<v Speaker 5>see if that comes to fruition. I know this was

461
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.119
<v Speaker 5>kind of thought of a little bit on the fly,

462
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.240
<v Speaker 5>and I think coaches were like, we just need to

463
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.720
<v Speaker 5>have some kind of change to this schedule because it's

464
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.920
<v Speaker 5>not working. You know, when you're trying to get recruits

465
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:30.559
<v Speaker 5>on campus, and you know a lot of the transfers

466
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:32.640
<v Speaker 5>they want to enroll midyear and so they need to

467
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 5>get you know, enrolled in classes and so you're butting

468
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:38.920
<v Speaker 5>up against kind of the start of the winter session

469
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:40.920
<v Speaker 5>or the spring semester in a lot of cases, and

470
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:43.599
<v Speaker 5>so you know, I think for a lot of programs

471
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:45.160
<v Speaker 5>and a lot of coaches, it was about trying to

472
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:46.920
<v Speaker 5>find some kind of balance, some kind of way to

473
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:48.440
<v Speaker 5>make it a little bit easier on them. I think

474
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.039
<v Speaker 5>this does that in some ways. But I think I

475
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:54.640
<v Speaker 5>would still be fully in favor of just having one

476
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:57.000
<v Speaker 5>signing period and do it in February, when all the

477
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.000
<v Speaker 5>coaching movement is done, when all the transfer portal stuff

478
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.880
<v Speaker 5>is mostly done at that point, and then high school

479
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:04.400
<v Speaker 5>recruits can kind of figure out where they fit in

480
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:06.480
<v Speaker 5>and what it's going to look like. But I don't

481
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.119
<v Speaker 5>know that they'll get back to that point. That's kind

482
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:10.160
<v Speaker 5>of what it was originally before there was an early

483
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:14.920
<v Speaker 5>signing period, and it worked out pretty well then. But

484
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:16.920
<v Speaker 5>with so many schools and and you know a lot

485
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:19.440
<v Speaker 5>of this is coming from coaches. Coaches want these players

486
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.400
<v Speaker 5>on campus, these high school prospects on campus as soon

487
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:24.440
<v Speaker 5>as they can get there, and so a lot of

488
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:26.880
<v Speaker 5>them are pushing, you know, enroll at the media point,

489
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:29.319
<v Speaker 5>kind of for go your last semester of high school

490
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:31.240
<v Speaker 5>and then get on campus and get in practice, and

491
00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:33.880
<v Speaker 5>so it's been pushed a lot by coaches. So it's

492
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:35.759
<v Speaker 5>interesting that a lot of coaches are pushing it, but

493
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:38.319
<v Speaker 5>they're also complaining that, hey, we don't like the schedule either,

494
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.000
<v Speaker 5>So it'll be interesting to see kind of how it

495
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.359
<v Speaker 5>plays out. I know, you know, back when you know

496
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:44.960
<v Speaker 5>Rich Rodriguez, Rich Rodriguez was the coach at Arizona, he

497
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.680
<v Speaker 5>talked about not having a signing period at all. That

498
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:49.720
<v Speaker 5>was kind of his grand idea was just to sign

499
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:51.920
<v Speaker 5>whenever you're ready, And so I know a lot of

500
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:53.640
<v Speaker 5>coaches have talked about that as well. So we'll see

501
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:55.319
<v Speaker 5>what it all kind of how it all pans out.

502
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:58.880
<v Speaker 5>But it's it's definitely something that's that's never perfect. It's

503
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.720
<v Speaker 5>never felt perfect, and everyone kind of just has to adapt,

504
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:02.799
<v Speaker 5>you know.

505
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:07.480
<v Speaker 4>That being said, I would think Brennan and his staff

506
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:09.359
<v Speaker 4>you probably feel like they're kind of in a rhythm

507
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:13.519
<v Speaker 4>right now. They didn't have this this chance last I mean,

508
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:16.839
<v Speaker 4>obviously he wasn't even here until January, So, uh, do

509
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 4>you think they feel a little more comfortable now kind

510
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:21.240
<v Speaker 4>of being you know, kind of in a routine.

511
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.759
<v Speaker 1>That's it could lead to a little more stability.

512
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:26.519
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely. I think that's one of the things is when

513
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:28.480
<v Speaker 5>you step into a job and when you have these

514
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.759
<v Speaker 5>coaching changes that take place, especially late, that one was

515
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, pretty late in the process. You know, the

516
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.519
<v Speaker 5>early signing period was already over, and so you're trying

517
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:37.640
<v Speaker 5>to figure out, you know, are you going to keep

518
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:39.920
<v Speaker 5>some guys and obviously Arizona have some guys that had

519
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.720
<v Speaker 5>just you know that we're high school players that were

520
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.279
<v Speaker 5>enrolling early and we're just on campus for a few days,

521
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:46.759
<v Speaker 5>and then they have to figure outkay am I going

522
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:48.240
<v Speaker 5>to go into the portal now, like how does this

523
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.240
<v Speaker 5>all work? And so I think now there is a

524
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:52.960
<v Speaker 5>little bit more stability. There is a little bit more

525
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.799
<v Speaker 5>of a flow and rhythm, like you mentioned to kind

526
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:57.960
<v Speaker 5>of this whole process. And you know, obviously, you know,

527
00:23:57.960 --> 00:23:59.880
<v Speaker 5>Brent Brennan and his staff and these coaches have had

528
00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:02.160
<v Speaker 5>a longer opportunity to get to know a lot of

529
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.039
<v Speaker 5>these prospects and it's not something that has to happen

530
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:06.319
<v Speaker 5>so quickly. And I think that helps, and it helps

531
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:09.000
<v Speaker 5>you kind of build some continuity, It helps you, you know,

532
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:12.240
<v Speaker 5>kind of build your team. And so I think that

533
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:14.920
<v Speaker 5>it's definitely helpful for them to have, you know, a

534
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.039
<v Speaker 5>year of really trying to get to know these recruits

535
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.680
<v Speaker 5>and getting the fill for them. And it's only I think,

536
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:22.000
<v Speaker 5>going to help them build their roster and kind of

537
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:23.839
<v Speaker 5>build it in the way they want to do it.

538
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:25.880
<v Speaker 5>And so I think you're starting to see that a

539
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:28.759
<v Speaker 5>little bit. I think there are some maybe some some

540
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:30.920
<v Speaker 5>things you can pick out like Okay, this fits what

541
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:32.400
<v Speaker 5>they want to do as opposed to kind of what

542
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:35.160
<v Speaker 5>they were given. And so you know, the portal helps

543
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:36.960
<v Speaker 5>that a lot. And you saw that last year with

544
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.039
<v Speaker 5>a lot of different teams. But you know, the portal

545
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.519
<v Speaker 5>can remedy things in a lot quicker fashion than what

546
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.920
<v Speaker 5>people were accustomed to, you know, before it was so popular.

547
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.960
<v Speaker 5>And so I think that helps when you're in a

548
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:51.240
<v Speaker 5>situation like Brent Brennan was in last year. But I

549
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.079
<v Speaker 5>think every coach would want to have an opportunity to

550
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:56.000
<v Speaker 5>kind of build their program through the high school ranks

551
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.240
<v Speaker 5>and have players that they develop over time versus just

552
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:00.519
<v Speaker 5>trying to get the quick six every single year.

553
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you have no question. Yeah.

554
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:05.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, like meantime, you know, they've gone to kind

555
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.920
<v Speaker 4>of the usual places Texas, the Bay Area, Southern California,

556
00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:12.599
<v Speaker 4>Santa Barbara, Phoenix, Chandler.

557
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 1>It's it's you could you know, I do every year.

558
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:17.759
<v Speaker 4>It seems like it's kind of the same, the same

559
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:20.079
<v Speaker 4>geography for for you of a football don't you think?

560
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And it's really interesting because you know you're playing

561
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:24.559
<v Speaker 5>in the Big twelve. Now you have some maybe some

562
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 5>different areas you can get to, and maybe that's where

563
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:29.960
<v Speaker 5>you see someone like Isaiah and Miselle, who's probably their

564
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.480
<v Speaker 5>best recruit. Maybe they're well, maybe the top two recruits,

565
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker 5>best recruits in this class is coming from Orlando, and

566
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:37.359
<v Speaker 5>obviously UCF was one of those schools that was recruiting

567
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.440
<v Speaker 5>them and is now a big told member with Arizona,

568
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.720
<v Speaker 5>and so maybe it allows you to kind of expand

569
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:47.920
<v Speaker 5>your footprint a little bit more. I do think that

570
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:51.400
<v Speaker 5>with Brent Brennan and just where his staff is familiar

571
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:53.599
<v Speaker 5>with where their connections are, it kind of lends itself

572
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:56.279
<v Speaker 5>to being kind of in a familiar place. So I

573
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 5>think that's why you see a lot of the Bay

574
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:00.799
<v Speaker 5>Area connections, you see some of those Northern Cali foreigner connections,

575
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.359
<v Speaker 5>and even in the Texas you know, obviously, I think

576
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:05.599
<v Speaker 5>that's I think that is maybe one of the clear

577
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:07.440
<v Speaker 5>connections you can make with the Big twelve, where they're

578
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:10.440
<v Speaker 5>a little bit more willingness to dive into Texas, a

579
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:14.599
<v Speaker 5>little bit more than maybe some previous stabs. And you know,

580
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.960
<v Speaker 5>I think the selling point is, hey, we're going to

581
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.000
<v Speaker 5>play a lot, you know, close close to your home,

582
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:21.880
<v Speaker 5>and so I think that's something you'll see them continue

583
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:23.480
<v Speaker 5>to do. But I think their bread and butter will

584
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:27.880
<v Speaker 5>always continue to be the Bay area, California and then

585
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:29.720
<v Speaker 5>obviously in state with Arizona players as well.

586
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Uh, you saw a couple of defections before yester or

587
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.640
<v Speaker 1>before today, significant ones before.

588
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:41.119
<v Speaker 5>Signing yes and no. I mean I think there was

589
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.279
<v Speaker 5>a few situations where it was like, hey, you know,

590
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:47.200
<v Speaker 5>it's a mutual partying kind of deal, where it's like, yeah,

591
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.640
<v Speaker 5>you didn't necessarily play the way we liked, you know,

592
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 5>during your senior year, and maybe it's best if you know,

593
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:55.039
<v Speaker 5>you would have a better fit somewhere else. But I

594
00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:58.480
<v Speaker 5>think there were some that were you know, difficult and

595
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:02.079
<v Speaker 5>not you want to lose, and so it was kind

596
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.759
<v Speaker 5>of a mixed bag. I think again, holding on to

597
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:06.680
<v Speaker 5>most of the class I think is a big deal.

598
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:08.680
<v Speaker 5>That's kind of what it turned into towards kind of

599
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:11.039
<v Speaker 5>down the stretch. For Brent Brennan and the staff, it

600
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:14.920
<v Speaker 5>was less about hey, can you add more pieces, but

601
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:16.920
<v Speaker 5>it was like, you need to just keep this group together.

602
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:18.480
<v Speaker 5>And I think you saw that in the bye week,

603
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:20.599
<v Speaker 5>the later bye week towards the end of the season.

604
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:24.119
<v Speaker 5>The focus was, let's go reach out to the players

605
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 5>that have been with us, that you know, committed to us,

606
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:28.240
<v Speaker 5>you know in the summer, and make sure that they're

607
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:30.599
<v Speaker 5>still on board and and make sure that you know

608
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:32.200
<v Speaker 5>that they're going to sign with us. And so I

609
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:34.240
<v Speaker 5>think that was the priority for the staff and they

610
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:36.039
<v Speaker 5>did a pretty good job of that for the most part.

611
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.640
<v Speaker 5>There's gonna be de commitments if you there's not a

612
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:40.920
<v Speaker 5>program out there that doesn't have de commitments. It's just

613
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:43.160
<v Speaker 5>how it goes these days. There was a bunch today,

614
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:45.920
<v Speaker 5>a bunch of top programs that lost players. And so

615
00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:49.920
<v Speaker 5>if you think that your program is somehow, you know,

616
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:52.400
<v Speaker 5>not doing its job because it's losing recruits, that's just

617
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:54.079
<v Speaker 5>not the case. It's just how it goes. There's so

618
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:56.920
<v Speaker 5>many different things in play you have nil involved.

619
00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Now.

620
00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:58.720
<v Speaker 5>I mean, there there are a lot of different things

621
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:01.039
<v Speaker 5>in play that it's just going to happen. But if

622
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:03.319
<v Speaker 5>you're able to replace those players and if you're able

623
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.240
<v Speaker 5>to continue to keep guys that you know are getting

624
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:09.359
<v Speaker 5>recruited by other programs. Isaiah Azel being one of those prospects.

625
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:11.920
<v Speaker 5>He had Notre Dame was very high on him and

626
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:14.240
<v Speaker 5>they wanted They were recruiting pretty heavily. And I mentioned

627
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:17.000
<v Speaker 5>UCF was as well, and j Richardson took a visit

628
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.319
<v Speaker 5>out to Vanderbilt, and so there is you know, there

629
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:21.319
<v Speaker 5>are programs that are coming after these players that are

630
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:24.480
<v Speaker 5>on Arizona's recruiting list. And so you know, part of

631
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:26.880
<v Speaker 5>the job is trying to find anybody new that you

632
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:29.680
<v Speaker 5>can bring in, but also just you know, re recruiting,

633
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:32.000
<v Speaker 5>you know the guys that are already on your commitment list.

634
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:33.599
<v Speaker 5>And I think Arizona did a really good job of that.

635
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.519
<v Speaker 1>So they just real quick, where did they Where did

636
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:41.920
<v Speaker 1>they land in the rankings and for for over overall

637
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and in the big cop.

638
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:47.279
<v Speaker 5>For overall it's number forty three. It's kind of you know,

639
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:50.359
<v Speaker 5>it's pretty good. That's solid. I mean, that's that's that's

640
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:54.519
<v Speaker 5>it's better than what it was in years before, you know,

641
00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:56.960
<v Speaker 5>not necessarily Jeed Fisher's. But prior to that, you know,

642
00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:58.960
<v Speaker 5>those previous two coaching stats that they kind of lived

643
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:01.319
<v Speaker 5>in the fifties, which is not where you want to be.

644
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:04.359
<v Speaker 5>And I've always kind of if you look at kind

645
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:06.359
<v Speaker 5>of how seasons play out, and maybe we'll have to

646
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.279
<v Speaker 5>kind of evaluate this now that you know there's been

647
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:10.400
<v Speaker 5>such a big shake up with conference re alignment and

648
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:12.559
<v Speaker 5>all that. But if you can live kind of in

649
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:16.319
<v Speaker 5>the in the thirty to thirty five range, you know,

650
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:18.400
<v Speaker 5>you can do a lot of good things in terms

651
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.640
<v Speaker 5>of building a successful roster, building a successful team. Utah

652
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 5>kind of lived in that range for a long time,

653
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:27.599
<v Speaker 5>that thirty to thirty five range, and there's a lot

654
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:29.880
<v Speaker 5>of three star recruits in that you know, in that level,

655
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:31.839
<v Speaker 5>and I think you know from the outside you ceo

656
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 5>three stars that's kind of like an average player. It's like, No,

657
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:35.559
<v Speaker 5>those are some good players and if you coach them

658
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:37.279
<v Speaker 5>up and develop them, they can be a really good team.

659
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.440
<v Speaker 5>And so I think you saw that a lot with

660
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:41.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, a lot of different programs. But if you

661
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:43.880
<v Speaker 5>can live in that thirty to thirty five range, you're

662
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:45.839
<v Speaker 5>you're doing okay. And so Arizona's kind of a little

663
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.480
<v Speaker 5>bit outside of that, you know, it's not terrible. It's

664
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:51.920
<v Speaker 5>not terrible, especially when you consider the type of season

665
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:56.119
<v Speaker 5>they had, and you know, if if you're not winning games,

666
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:57.880
<v Speaker 5>it can be difficult to kind of make a climb

667
00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:59.839
<v Speaker 5>up that list. So I think it's not horrible, you know,

668
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.480
<v Speaker 5>based on kind of where they're at and what, you know,

669
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:05.440
<v Speaker 5>the season that they had and kind of some other

670
00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:08.000
<v Speaker 5>things in play. But in terms of the Big Twelve,

671
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:10.079
<v Speaker 5>I think they're probably middle of the pack. They're number seven,

672
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:13.720
<v Speaker 5>tied with West Virginia. So you know, it's not ideal.

673
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:15.400
<v Speaker 5>It's not where you want to live, but it's not

674
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:17.599
<v Speaker 5>horrible either, and it kind of gives you some place

675
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:18.519
<v Speaker 5>to kind of build from.

676
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.599
<v Speaker 1>And where did they finish in the Big twelve? Seven?

677
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:24.880
<v Speaker 5>So they're tired with tied with West Virginia for seven,

678
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:25.799
<v Speaker 5>right behind Colorado.

679
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:28.839
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, take take us through the calendar a little bit.

680
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:32.799
<v Speaker 4>What can we expect and when will these things start happening?

681
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:35.559
<v Speaker 4>I guess the portal is is it really open? Or

682
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:38.720
<v Speaker 4>people they haven't done anything yet, right, right?

683
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.880
<v Speaker 5>And so yeah, I think people get confused, and sometimes

684
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:44.680
<v Speaker 5>I even get confused tracking all this all this stuff,

685
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:47.400
<v Speaker 5>but the portal doesn't open until next week. So the

686
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:49.480
<v Speaker 5>portal will actually open next week. But what we have

687
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:51.319
<v Speaker 5>is a lot of players just coming to a decision

688
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:53.359
<v Speaker 5>and saying I'm I'm going to enter the portal. And

689
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:54.720
<v Speaker 5>so that's what you're seeing a lot of right now,

690
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:57.279
<v Speaker 5>is players saying I'm going to enter the portal. I'm

691
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:00.279
<v Speaker 5>announcing it. And then once it opens, all of yourally

692
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:02.519
<v Speaker 5>go in and submit the paperwork. You know, if there's

693
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:06.000
<v Speaker 5>coaches that get that get fired, that opens immediately. So

694
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.960
<v Speaker 5>if your head coach gets fired or he leaves for

695
00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:10.799
<v Speaker 5>a new job and you're left without a head coach,

696
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.759
<v Speaker 5>that'll open. The portal will open immediately for you for

697
00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:17.119
<v Speaker 5>thirty days. And so you're seeing some of that too,

698
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:19.240
<v Speaker 5>because there have been some some coach firings and so

699
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.000
<v Speaker 5>those players can go in right away. If you're a

700
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:24.519
<v Speaker 5>graduate student and you're getting close to so you're going

701
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:26.160
<v Speaker 5>to graduate in December and you know that and you're

702
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:28.200
<v Speaker 5>on pace and on track to do that, you can

703
00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:30.960
<v Speaker 5>go in right away as well. So you're seeing right

704
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.279
<v Speaker 5>now kind of a mix of everything. And so that

705
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.599
<v Speaker 5>will open for a couple of weeks and we'll have

706
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:40.440
<v Speaker 5>a dead period here pretty soon as well. They're in

707
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:42.440
<v Speaker 5>one right now, and so you can't take visits right now,

708
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:43.960
<v Speaker 5>and then it'll be open for a couple of weeks,

709
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:45.599
<v Speaker 5>and then as it gets closer to the holidays, it'll

710
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:47.799
<v Speaker 5>shut down again, and then it'll pick back up in

711
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:51.960
<v Speaker 5>January and you'll see more recruits, kind of transfer players, recruits,

712
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:54.279
<v Speaker 5>everyone kind of take visits again. And so it's kind

713
00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:57.119
<v Speaker 5>of a kind of an uneven time of the year

714
00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:59.839
<v Speaker 5>right now, just because the holidays kind of, you know,

715
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:01.279
<v Speaker 5>right in the middle of it, and so it kind

716
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.079
<v Speaker 5>of makes things a little bit more uneven. But it's

717
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:05.799
<v Speaker 5>kind of similar to what it's always been in a

718
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:07.839
<v Speaker 5>lot of ways, where December is going to be a

719
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.920
<v Speaker 5>lot about in home visits and taking visits to campuses

720
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:13.559
<v Speaker 5>and trying to get as many players as they can

721
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:17.279
<v Speaker 5>right now on campus and taking visits because the transferportal

722
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:19.599
<v Speaker 5>process has to happen quickly. It's one of those things

723
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.920
<v Speaker 5>that's different than high school recruiting, where you build relationships

724
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:25.759
<v Speaker 5>over a year or two. It's topping over a week

725
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:27.960
<v Speaker 5>or days at times, where it's you have to have,

726
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.519
<v Speaker 5>you know, a comfortable aspect of it. You have to

727
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:36.319
<v Speaker 5>have you know, some qualities about your coaching staff that

728
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.599
<v Speaker 5>really sell to these players and make them want to

729
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:41.799
<v Speaker 5>play for you. And then obviously the NL component is

730
00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:45.440
<v Speaker 5>kind of the overarching thing that is kind of important

731
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:47.920
<v Speaker 5>to everybody in the portal right now, it seems. And

732
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:50.039
<v Speaker 5>so there's a lot of different things in play, but

733
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.680
<v Speaker 5>these decisions are made quickly, and so it's all about

734
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:54.400
<v Speaker 5>how can you get out on those visits and make

735
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:55.440
<v Speaker 5>those things happen quickly.

736
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>So what do you make of the non fuffita FAFA

737
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:04.960
<v Speaker 1>news from yesterday. I still think it's gonna play out more.

738
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about you.

739
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:07.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean we'll have to wait and see. I mean,

740
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:11.240
<v Speaker 5>that's that's my approach. You know, well, we'll kind of

741
00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:12.680
<v Speaker 5>wait and see how it plays out. I think it's

742
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:14.559
<v Speaker 5>too there's just not enough there right now to say

743
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:18.240
<v Speaker 5>one way or the other. Obviously, there's you know, been

744
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:20.799
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people saying it's not gonna happen or whatever.

745
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.079
<v Speaker 5>I just there's too many things, and you seem too

746
00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:25.440
<v Speaker 5>many things play out. I think over time to live

747
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:29.039
<v Speaker 5>in absolutes with the portal and with these decisions, and

748
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:30.960
<v Speaker 5>what can be true one day could not be true.

749
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:34.119
<v Speaker 5>The next day. And so it's just it's difficult to predict.

750
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.200
<v Speaker 5>I know, as soon as even before the season's over,

751
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:38.960
<v Speaker 5>a lot of fans are like, well, who's leaving, who's

752
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:40.359
<v Speaker 5>gonna be in the portal. It's like, you just don't

753
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:42.279
<v Speaker 5>know that. And coaches don't know that either, and so

754
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.559
<v Speaker 5>and I think coach people think that coaches are just

755
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.359
<v Speaker 5>kind of being fatious, facetious and being like playing koy

756
00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:51.599
<v Speaker 5>or whatever, doing the typical kind of coach speak thing.

757
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:53.920
<v Speaker 5>But you know, I think a lot of times they

758
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:55.640
<v Speaker 5>don't know, and it's not until the player comes into

759
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:57.599
<v Speaker 5>the office and says, hey, I'm transferring that they know that.

760
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:01.839
<v Speaker 5>And so I would kind of live in territory and uh,

761
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:04.759
<v Speaker 5>you know, you never say never, I guess, and and

762
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.680
<v Speaker 5>you just you can't be surprised by anything because things

763
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:10.199
<v Speaker 5>that are true one day, it can be not true

764
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:11.760
<v Speaker 5>the next day. And that's kind of how I kind

765
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:12.599
<v Speaker 5>of view that situation.

766
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:16.239
<v Speaker 4>Probably be an obvious question, but the fact that Brad,

767
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:19.599
<v Speaker 4>that's Brad, Brent Brannan is is still here, what do

768
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.480
<v Speaker 4>you think that means overall to the program into recruiting

769
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:23.599
<v Speaker 4>in the future.

770
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:26.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, it's it's you have to let it

771
00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:29.559
<v Speaker 5>play out. I've always been a proponent of you have

772
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.519
<v Speaker 5>to let coaches coach for a while and you have

773
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:34.519
<v Speaker 5>to see what it looks like. Because again, if you

774
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:36.760
<v Speaker 5>go back to Jetfish, it didn't it didn't look good

775
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:38.519
<v Speaker 5>that first year, it didn't look good early on, and

776
00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:40.400
<v Speaker 5>then he eventually leads you took ten wins. And so

777
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:43.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm not a fan of firing coaches after one year

778
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.840
<v Speaker 5>unless there's something very egregious that you see as a

779
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, athletic director or administration that really is like,

780
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:52.880
<v Speaker 5>this does not line up with what we want to do.

781
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:56.239
<v Speaker 5>I don't think you know that we've seen that from

782
00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 5>Brent Brennan, and obviously we're not all in all the

783
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:02.239
<v Speaker 5>meetings and in everything, but you know, I think you

784
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:03.760
<v Speaker 5>have to give it some time. You have to give

785
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:07.079
<v Speaker 5>a head coach an opportunity to really kind of flesh

786
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:09.480
<v Speaker 5>out his program and figure out exactly what he wants

787
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:10.960
<v Speaker 5>it to be. And then if you decide in a

788
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:13.000
<v Speaker 5>few years, okay, it's not what we wanted, then you

789
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:15.280
<v Speaker 5>move on at that point. But it can be really

790
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:18.199
<v Speaker 5>dangerous territory. It costs a lot of money that if

791
00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:20.800
<v Speaker 5>you're replacing coaches every year, because the thing is is

792
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:22.920
<v Speaker 5>if you replace him or you move on from him,

793
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:24.559
<v Speaker 5>like a lot of fans seem to be calling for

794
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:27.599
<v Speaker 5>what happens if the next guy isn't the right one either,

795
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:29.159
<v Speaker 5>and then you're kind of in a bigger hole. And

796
00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:32.360
<v Speaker 5>so I've always been a proponent of just letting coaches

797
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:34.039
<v Speaker 5>kind of play it out a little bit and see

798
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:36.880
<v Speaker 5>what it looks like. And I think the continuity matters

799
00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:40.920
<v Speaker 5>to recruits. I think you know, you saw some recruits

800
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:43.400
<v Speaker 5>join the class towards the end of the process when

801
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:45.840
<v Speaker 5>it was not going well, and so I think clearly

802
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:49.039
<v Speaker 5>they're not impacted by, you know, the way the way

803
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:50.760
<v Speaker 5>the season was playing out, and so I think you

804
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 5>have to kind of just let it do its thing

805
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:55.519
<v Speaker 5>and see what you can, you know, build on and

806
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:57.760
<v Speaker 5>see if he can make it better and then kind

807
00:35:57.760 --> 00:35:58.360
<v Speaker 5>of go from there.

808
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Matt, go back to work. I know, the fun

809
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:02.800
<v Speaker 1>time right now with me is over.

879
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:04.159

880
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you think about recruiting? You a hoops? Whatever you want

881
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.480
<v Speaker 1>to talk about not to talk about.

882
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:12.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, pretty good day for football. I think Matt kind

883
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.599
<v Speaker 4>of laid it out there that, you know, because the

884

<v Speaker 4>Brendon staff has kind of been in place now for

888
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:25.119
<v Speaker 1>ask him, but I know he would take five minutes

889
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:27.840
<v Speaker 1>for the answer. Don't tell him. I said that, Uh,

890
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it was okay, they get rid of a couple or three.

891
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:34.039
<v Speaker 1>What does that do coaches? Yeah, yeah, I know that

892
00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:36.159
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be an issue because you know, the

893
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:38.679
<v Speaker 1>guys come for those guys too, right, They've.

894
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:41.000
<v Speaker 4>Been the ones in right, they've been the ones that

895
00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:42.599
<v Speaker 4>are you know, in the living room with with Sham

896
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.920
<v Speaker 4>and Dad. So yeah, you're right if if those coaches

897
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:50.000
<v Speaker 4>start disappearing, it could be trouble for the recruits.

898
00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Right right. And see, hey, you didn't tell me he

899
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:53.679
<v Speaker 1>was leaving. Yeah, right, Hey, you're on the air and

900
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I on the ball. Who's this?

901
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:56.599
<v Speaker 5>This is Ken?

902
00:39:56.920 --> 00:39:59.199
<v Speaker 1>Ken? How are you? Sounds like that? Ken? Have you

903
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.360
<v Speaker 1>called before yourself like a new face, new voice.

904
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:04.920
<v Speaker 16>Well, we've known each other really long time, but I

905
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:06.039
<v Speaker 16>haven't got here lately.

906
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Ken, I want to talk about you a.

907
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:14.880
<v Speaker 16>Basketball please please, And since we sometimes send messages back

908
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:17.880
<v Speaker 16>and forth, you probably know what my topic is going

909
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:23.159
<v Speaker 16>to be, which is mister love. Okay, and I, I,

910
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:27.920
<v Speaker 16>along with a lot of other people, aren't sure that

911
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:31.039
<v Speaker 16>that it's in our best interest for him to get

912
00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:36.199
<v Speaker 16>as much time as a starter, because I don't think

913
00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:37.239
<v Speaker 16>we have the faith in him.

914
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:38.480
<v Speaker 5>Maybe we should, and.

915
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:39.920
<v Speaker 16>I'd like to hear your side of things.

916
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, that's a great, great question. I agree with you,

917
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.679
<v Speaker 1>but I don't agree with you. And I and I

918
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:50.639
<v Speaker 1>say that with hesitation because I understand completely what you're saying.

919
00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:54.719
<v Speaker 1>But Tommy needs the guy. He needs him desperately to

920
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:58.440
<v Speaker 1>play well. For whatever reason, he's just not playing well.

921
00:40:58.599 --> 00:41:00.239
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I'm not sure that we're going to have a

922
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:02.079
<v Speaker 1>press conference this week, and I was hoping to get

923
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:04.360
<v Speaker 1>to it if he did, and one of the questions

924
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I would ask, and it'd be a serious question. He'd

925
00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:08.679
<v Speaker 1>looked at me like, you know, I'm a fool? Is

926
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:11.480
<v Speaker 1>that you know? As this team goes or, as Caleb

927
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:15.079
<v Speaker 1>loves goes, does this team follow, which would be scary

928
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:18.559
<v Speaker 1>as all hellcare you know, because he's inconsistent and so far,

929
00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:20.559
<v Speaker 1>guess what, there's almost been inconsistent.

930
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:26.199
<v Speaker 16>Well, I totally agree with you, and I think and

931
00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:28.079
<v Speaker 16>there's a whole lot of us that feel the same story.

932
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:30.519
<v Speaker 5>It's one thing to just have an off night.

933
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:32.039
<v Speaker 1>It's another thing.

934
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:35.920
<v Speaker 16>That continuously throw up bricks and not make the attempts

935
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:39.199
<v Speaker 16>to get the ball underneath, to not pass it as often.

936
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:39.559
<v Speaker 1>As you could.

937
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:42.159
<v Speaker 16>And you know, I know good shooters have to find

938
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:46.599
<v Speaker 16>their you know, find their groove or whatever. But basically,

939
00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:49.519
<v Speaker 16>you know, last year, he totally let us down at

940
00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:52.079
<v Speaker 16>the end of the season and I don't see any

941
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:55.400
<v Speaker 16>improvement at all at all. And I think most people

942
00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:58.599
<v Speaker 16>would rather give somebody, maybe they've even a freshman, a

943
00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:01.679
<v Speaker 16>little more playing time unless he really picks it up.

944
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, it's always easy to be the seismologist

945
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:07.599
<v Speaker 1>after the earthquake, right and when he was when he

946
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.239
<v Speaker 1>decided to come back, I said, that's not going to

947
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:12.239
<v Speaker 1>be good. And there were a few people, a few

948
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:15.119
<v Speaker 1>people that I said, telling me, how could you say that?

949
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:17.159
<v Speaker 1>Because he was the pac ten or PAC twelve Player

950
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:21.280
<v Speaker 1>of the Year. He's got credentials. He's good, And I said, yeah,

951
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:24.400
<v Speaker 1>but there's more than that than it's team dynamic. He

952
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:27.719
<v Speaker 1>is who he is. Ken, You know this again? You

953
00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:30.840
<v Speaker 1>know this. He's of the five starters or four, four

954
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:33.960
<v Speaker 1>in the five. He's the last guy for the NBA prospect.

955
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:36.360
<v Speaker 1>How does that happen when you're the PAC twelve Player

956
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:38.760
<v Speaker 1>of the Year. They must see something that I don't see.

957
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:40.480
<v Speaker 1>You don't see her, or we do see and we're

958
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:43.920
<v Speaker 1>just not gonna admit it because he is too consistent.

959
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:47.519
<v Speaker 4>Either and there and there's that, and you have to

960
00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:49.639
<v Speaker 4>have some of that, especially when you get to the pros.

961
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:52.639
<v Speaker 5>I just I don't know.

962
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you who it reminds me of.

963
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:58.800
<v Speaker 16>And it's the only player in Loot's entire coaching career

964
00:42:59.119 --> 00:42:59.960
<v Speaker 16>that I never got.

965
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Wait wait, wait, wait, let me let me let me

966
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:02.719
<v Speaker 1>take this guess.

967
00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:08.599
<v Speaker 16>Uh oh, must Musta would have been one of those guys.

968
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, hey, Ken, you better listen because uh listen regularly

969
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:14.199
<v Speaker 1>because Mustava is gonna come on the show. He has

970
00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:16.400
<v Speaker 1>agreed to come on the show at some point soon.

971
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:17.840
<v Speaker 1>But you know what I thought you were gonna say,

972
00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Chris Rogers. Oh no, I.

973
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:26.000
<v Speaker 16>Didn't have an opinion about him, honestly, Yeah.

974
00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Because he wasn't really.

975
00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:29.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Caleb is like one of the main reasons

976
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:32.840
<v Speaker 4>they're even on the court, and Chris wasn't really.

977
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:34.400
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, but he was. He had he had

978
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:36.519
<v Speaker 1>that inconsistent You didn't know what you're going to extract

979
00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:38.679
<v Speaker 1>from him. He was he was thrown off the team,

980
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:41.039
<v Speaker 1>and then he fought back to get back, you know,

981
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:44.519
<v Speaker 1>competitioned the u of a. Uh, but Yo, Mustapha was

982
00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:47.320
<v Speaker 1>just inconsistent and he was in a scorer. He was

983
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:50.639
<v Speaker 1>just kind of just you know, Mustafa was not Mustafa

984
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:53.400
<v Speaker 1>ken Okay, I agree with you, but you know, to

985
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:56.320
<v Speaker 1>solve this problem, uh, maybe you do that. But then

986
00:43:56.360 --> 00:43:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that that coach will lose him. I think

987
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:03.239
<v Speaker 1>he would lose him if he did that. Well, I

988
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:05.159
<v Speaker 1>think I don't know.

989
00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:09.880
<v Speaker 16>I just kind of feel like he I don't know,

990
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:12.480
<v Speaker 16>I've already said it. I think he forces up shots.

991
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:15.119
<v Speaker 16>I don't ever find him in the flow of the game.

992
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:17.679
<v Speaker 16>And you know, we're going to be soft with our

993
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:20.480
<v Speaker 16>big man as it is, and man, I see it.

994
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:23.800
<v Speaker 16>Really maybe not even the ni t if things don't

995
00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:28.079
<v Speaker 16>change cars Peronel. Yeah, honestly, I think it's that bad.

996
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:32.039
<v Speaker 1>Ken, WHOA, Okay, I'm sorry, Go have a shot at

997
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:34.719
<v Speaker 1>a cardi or whatever. People drink and relax a little.

998
00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:39.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, thanks basically call that thanksually call I appreciate it.

999
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:41.679
<v Speaker 1>In defense of Caleb, he is still leading the team

1000
00:44:41.719 --> 00:44:44.800
<v Speaker 1>in scoring, well he is. What's the efficiency though he's

1001
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:49.280
<v Speaker 1>not great, he's shooting you know, thirty. Yeah, here's the issue.

1002
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Here's the issue I had, And exactly what I told Ken,

1003
00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:53.639
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like him coming back as good as he is.

1004
00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:56.679
<v Speaker 1>They've lost the kid to a issue who's having a

1005
00:44:56.679 --> 00:44:58.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty good year and you can't compare apples to apples,

1006
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, the kid they they had, and then because

1007
00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:05.840
<v Speaker 1>he came back. I don't know if he could create

1008
00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:10.199
<v Speaker 1>chemistry issues or whatever. But he is a bit nonchalant

1009
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:14.039
<v Speaker 1>on the court right for sure. And you can see

1010
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:16.239
<v Speaker 1>that if you see that. I see that, and people

1011
00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:19.920
<v Speaker 1>see that. And when he's not on, he's just another dude.

1012
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:23.679
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to watch sometimes. I mean it's sad, and.

1013
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:25.480
<v Speaker 4>It's it's kind of interesting how the fans react, Like

1014
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:27.159
<v Speaker 4>when he makes a basket, it's almost like, oh, he

1015
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:27.760
<v Speaker 4>made a basket.

1016
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:30.360
<v Speaker 1>But celebrate like it's crazy. So let me ask you,

1017
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:31.679
<v Speaker 1>and I've said this a couple of times on the

1018
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:34.119
<v Speaker 1>show this week, what's your one or two things that

1019
00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:36.559
<v Speaker 1>you see with this team that you don't like or

1020
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:40.719
<v Speaker 1>what's the issue? Wasn't thrilled with the big guys? They're

1021
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:43.039
<v Speaker 1>not previous? Is not the player that people think he

1022
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:44.599
<v Speaker 1>is right now? Not yet?

1023
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:48.159
<v Speaker 4>And maybe maybe the you know, his injuries have not

1024
00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:49.119
<v Speaker 4>healed completely.

1025
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:51.000
<v Speaker 1>But I mean I saw that in Duke.

1026
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:53.599
<v Speaker 4>In the Duke game, it was pretty pretty apparent that

1027
00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:56.079
<v Speaker 4>he was just not you know, the level of the

1028
00:45:56.159 --> 00:45:57.119
<v Speaker 4>Duke big men.

1029
00:45:57.679 --> 00:45:59.639
<v Speaker 1>And then the same thing's kind of happened in the Bahamas.

1030
00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:01.880
<v Speaker 4>It was just kind of rough to watch, and you know,

1031
00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:03.360
<v Speaker 4>the ball goes in there and you're not quite sure

1032
00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:04.800
<v Speaker 4>if it's going to be in there forever, if he's

1033
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:07.079
<v Speaker 4>going to pass it, and you know, that's always been

1034
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:10.000
<v Speaker 4>kind of a big man issue around this university's teams.

1035
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:12.719
<v Speaker 1>It seems like, yeah, okay, that's your one two one,

1036
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:13.360
<v Speaker 1>what's another one?

1037
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:18.320
<v Speaker 4>Well besides Caleb's shooting woes, yeah, or that could be it. No,

1038
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:21.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean I was pleased to see del Orso play well.

1039
00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:24.599
<v Speaker 4>I thought that was a good he's still a little shaky,

1040
00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:27.079
<v Speaker 4>but yeah, yeah. I mean actually in the West Virginia game,

1041
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:29.880
<v Speaker 4>the last game, he kind of faded at the end

1042
00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:31.440
<v Speaker 4>of the team missed like three or four shots. But

1043
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:34.079
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's pretty consistent throughout most most of the

1044
00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:37.599
<v Speaker 4>Bahamas after not even barely getting off the bench against Duke,

1045
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:42.320
<v Speaker 4>has technical fouls.

1046
00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:45.639
<v Speaker 1>And hasn't played really to kj's expectations. Yeah, he's is

1047
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:48.440
<v Speaker 1>he isn't he considered like the number one he's of

1048
00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:50.679
<v Speaker 1>all of them? Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he hasn't lived

1049
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:52.159
<v Speaker 1>up to that at all. Okay, here are my two

1050
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and I've said them before, so sorry, apologies if you

1051
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:57.519
<v Speaker 1>guys have listened in the last couple of games. Number two,

1052
00:46:57.599 --> 00:46:59.559
<v Speaker 1>and I'll go with reverse order, is they're not defending

1053
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:03.599
<v Speaker 1>the three point Yeah, and that's obvious, right they How

1054
00:47:03.639 --> 00:47:05.559
<v Speaker 1>do you not do that? If you know you have

1055
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:08.519
<v Speaker 1>an ailment? Don't you take your medicine for that ailment?

1056
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Hell I got of that too, But you know what

1057
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, You got a cough take coughs go defend

1058
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:15.559
<v Speaker 1>the three point line. Well, they knew that.

1059
00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:18.159
<v Speaker 4>That kid from West Virginia, the coach's son, that's Basically

1060
00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:19.840
<v Speaker 4>all he did was stand out there and he was

1061
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:20.880
<v Speaker 4>fired him up from thirty one.

1062
00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:24.559
<v Speaker 1>You, Dave, don't let him leave the room. Guess what,

1063
00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:27.079
<v Speaker 1>You're on top of him wherever he goes. And you

1064
00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:29.480
<v Speaker 1>know that cliche. If he goes to the restroom, you're

1065
00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:33.679
<v Speaker 1>going in there with him. Okay, that's number two. Number

1066
00:47:33.719 --> 00:47:36.199
<v Speaker 1>one is to me is the most obvious thing in

1067
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:38.760
<v Speaker 1>my thirty five years of covering the team, twenty five

1068
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:41.159
<v Speaker 1>with Lout, someone was shun but he didn't do this.

1069
00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:46.320
<v Speaker 1>They ran transition easily. They would get in transition and

1070
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:50.599
<v Speaker 1>score fifteen twenty points a game transition. These teams aren't

1071
00:47:50.599 --> 00:47:53.800
<v Speaker 1>allowing that they're dropping back score in the half court

1072
00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:59.920
<v Speaker 1>what's been Arizona's Achilles shields forever half court defense. They can't.

1073
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:02.599
<v Speaker 1>They don't have a shooter outside of Salem and Steve

1074
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:05.559
<v Speaker 1>uh that would break that. They need a shooter if

1075
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:07.239
<v Speaker 1>they haven't found one yet, and I don't know if

1076
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.440
<v Speaker 1>they have one, But if you can't go and transition

1077
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that Arizona used to do all the time, they haven't

1078
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:15.760
<v Speaker 1>done that. And the thing is, if you're Dave, if

1079
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:18.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm Arizona and that's what I do, what are you

1080
00:48:18.239 --> 00:48:21.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna do to me, not allow it, right, So it's

1081
00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:23.360
<v Speaker 1>not a me thing, it's not an Arizona thing. It's you,

1082
00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:25.719
<v Speaker 1>not me, not allowing. And if you're very good at that,

1083
00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm screwed. I'm just screwed. Or find two shooters or

1084
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:33.159
<v Speaker 1>a shooter that can get us out of that, and

1085
00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:34.920
<v Speaker 1>so far we haven't been able to find. So far,

1086
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.079
<v Speaker 1>you haven't game, and who knows if you haven't through

1087
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:42.960
<v Speaker 1>seven games? Yeah, well you are. I'll bet you two

1088
00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:49.239
<v Speaker 1>to one that they find a guy this weekend. Of course, exactly,

1089
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:50.679
<v Speaker 1>someone's gonna exact.

1090
00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Shine and someone's gonna come off the bench, or someone's

1091
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.000
<v Speaker 4>gonna do the big guys are going to be dominant.

1092
00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:57.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'll bet you in a month you when you

1093
00:48:57.599 --> 00:49:01.400
<v Speaker 1>come back that they'll they won't against the huge the

1094
00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:04.480
<v Speaker 1>teams that play defense, right and just say they have

1095
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:07.760
<v Speaker 1>that problem again? Here we go. Yeah, it's it's been.

1096
00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:09.880
<v Speaker 1>It's been a tough watch. It really has been.

1097
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:10.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1098
00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's because you're used to seeing.

1099
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.280
<v Speaker 4>And like you you mentioned that the runs, I mean,

1100
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:17.000
<v Speaker 4>that's always been Arizona's forte you know.

1101
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:20.239
<v Speaker 1>In fact, other teams are having more runs on Arizona right,

1102
00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:23.440
<v Speaker 1>surprising because they don't expect they don't want to play defense. Henry,

1103
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:24.199
<v Speaker 1>you see the same thing.

1104
00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:28.519
<v Speaker 3>I think the two main things that I would say, kJ,

1105
00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:31.679
<v Speaker 3>He's got to play better. That's the biggest thing I think.

1106
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Obviously Caleb has been struggling, but kJ, he was kind

1107
00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:37.800
<v Speaker 3>of the second guy that was kind of Bradley's taking over.

1108
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:40.639
<v Speaker 3>They expected from kJ, and they needed to learn how

1109
00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:42.559
<v Speaker 3>to get more defensive. They give them way too many

1110
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:45.960
<v Speaker 3>offensive rebounds, sure, which has tried to so many threes.

1111
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:49.840
<v Speaker 1>On the surface, though they have all the pieces. I

1112
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:52.559
<v Speaker 1>told one of the assistant coaches two weeks ago, I

1113
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:54.800
<v Speaker 1>really liked this team before Duke. I think it was

1114
00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:57.480
<v Speaker 1>really because the pieces seem to fit. Yeah, they seem

1115
00:49:57.519 --> 00:49:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to fit. Just you know, a waka can do the

1116
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:03.400
<v Speaker 1>things that that that creevous can't. Previous to your point

1117
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:05.800
<v Speaker 1>is on the money, he's not to me, he even

1118
00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:09.000
<v Speaker 1>looks more like it's Stokes. Sorry to say, he's not

1119
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:10.719
<v Speaker 1>holding on the ball. There's losing a lot of the

1120
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:15.079
<v Speaker 1>balls thrown inside or maybe more. Caleb, Yeah, used to

1121
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:17.519
<v Speaker 1>drive me crazy with his holding the ball. Yeah, so

1122
00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:20.039
<v Speaker 1>there's that. There's a lot of little things that they're

1123
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:24.360
<v Speaker 1>doing that you're not used to seeing in pieces, very strange.

1124
00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:27.599
<v Speaker 1>Towson hasn't been the guy that shot twelve three pointers

1125
00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that one night in.

1126
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:31.760
<v Speaker 4>The first game. So he's been he's been pretty good.

1127
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:34.280
<v Speaker 4>He kind of held the whole team together in the

1128
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:37.840
<v Speaker 4>Bahamas basically the way he was playing. But yeah, I mean,

1129
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.159
<v Speaker 4>there's just it's just something right now, it's just not clicking.

1130
00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:42.199
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if it's like you said, you know,

1131
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:45.239
<v Speaker 4>the leadership of love not there yet.

1132
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Who is it ever? I don't think he's I don't

1133
00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:49.800
<v Speaker 1>think he's a leader though. I just he's a scorer

1134
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:52.679
<v Speaker 1>and leave me alone. You'll leave me alone. Trust I

1135
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:53.960
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of it is going to ride on

1136
00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Jayden Bradley. I totally agree. So if I were, if

1137
00:50:56.840 --> 00:50:59.119
<v Speaker 1>I were to do something that he would be the guy.

1138
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:00.639
<v Speaker 1>He has the ball in his had a lot, he

1139
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:02.320
<v Speaker 1>knows how to score and get to the basket. Not

1140
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:04.760
<v Speaker 1>sure when I criticized that just what you need now?

1141
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:05.800
<v Speaker 1>You need that?

1142
00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:08.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you need that? Yeah, I mean because no one

1143
00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:10.360
<v Speaker 4>else is doing it. Because what do you want from

1144
00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:11.679
<v Speaker 4>your point guard? Do you want him just to be,

1145
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:14.239
<v Speaker 4>you know, distributing or do you want him shooting a

1146
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:16.039
<v Speaker 4>little bit more. Not with these guys, the second leading

1147
00:51:16.039 --> 00:51:18.960
<v Speaker 4>scorer on the team. Yeah, not with these guys because

1148
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:21.519
<v Speaker 4>they're not getting much. I mean Townshend, yes, But after that,

1149
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:24.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean the big guys are nowhere to be found

1150
00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:24.639
<v Speaker 4>on there.

1151
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know the other guy that needs to show up.

1152
00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:28.599
<v Speaker 1>But I thought he would have a good year if

1153
00:51:28.639 --> 00:51:31.400
<v Speaker 1>creevious doesn't show. It was Henry because you can stretch

1154
00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:33.320
<v Speaker 1>him out and hit three. They need to start hitting

1155
00:51:33.360 --> 00:51:34.119
<v Speaker 1>perimeter shots.

1156
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:37.119
<v Speaker 4>And you wonder if it's their lack of defense, lack

1157
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:40.440
<v Speaker 4>of mettle like defense and they're having trouble there because

1158
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:43.000
<v Speaker 4>he was in and out. I think as the West

1159
00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:46.400
<v Speaker 4>Virginia gaming, he was he really played hen Henry.

1160
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, it's just and that's and that's not that's coachable,

1161
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:53.159
<v Speaker 1>but that's desire. That's you hadn't want to do that.

1162
00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:56.599
<v Speaker 1>It's just they haven't done yet. Yeah, especially from the

1163
00:51:56.599 --> 00:52:02.519
<v Speaker 1>three point line. Bring on UTAs others. Let's go, let's

1164
00:52:02.519 --> 00:52:05.119
<v Speaker 1>get better. The feel good game, the feel good game.

1165
00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:07.400
<v Speaker 1>And then you'll say Dave on Monday or and then

1166
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:10.119
<v Speaker 1>next week I say, Steve, I told you so, Yeah, Dave,

1167
00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I told you so too. So we'll see.

1168
00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:14.960
<v Speaker 4>So then they get that, when do they they have

1169
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:16.519
<v Speaker 4>a break to right, they go there and then they

1170
00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:18.000
<v Speaker 4>go to the game in.

1171
00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Phoenix, and the UCLA is another team that makes games

1172
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:23.920
<v Speaker 1>look ugly. You know, you're not going to run against me,

1173
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:26.280
<v Speaker 1>and we'll see what happens there. That's gonna be fun,

1174
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I think, just the vibe. Yeah, the whole rivalry thing. Yeah,

1175
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:34.480
<v Speaker 1>it's it's going to be no students.

1176
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:37.519
<v Speaker 4>True, you know, those Vegas games can be pretty dead.

1177
00:52:38.679 --> 00:52:41.079
<v Speaker 4>M So we'll see the Garzona fans will travel for that.

1178
00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Just the Phoenix. Yeah it was in Phoenix, never mind

1179
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:48.119
<v Speaker 1>in Vegas, that's right, of course. Yeah, so they'll be fair.

1180
00:52:48.400 --> 00:52:49.920
<v Speaker 1>The school will be out, but they'll have fans at

1181
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:52.960
<v Speaker 1>tings and this will be their red blue game that
