Our expectations were pretty high, right, 42 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,080 pretty high going into the season. This is still a 43 00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:18,520 top twenty five team in college basketball, at least for 44 00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:22,159 the rankings via Ken Palm, all of the data, all 45 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,599 the analytics. I think, what a lot of people like 46 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,639 any other year. Right, we're top twenty five at this 47 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,360 record in the Big twelve. We're happy campers, right, But 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,800 something about the expectations got Cougarnation a little bit salty, 49 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,000 a little bit sour, right now, how do you see it? 50 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough, Ben, This is a tough place to 51 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,719 be in, right, because myself included to start the year 52 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:50,080 this preseason. Right, you have the highest expectations in the world. Right, 53 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,479 You literally have probably the best player of BIU has 54 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,400 ever seen, wearing a BYU jersey at eighteen years old 55 00:02:56,439 --> 00:03:00,639 in aj and you have a myriad of of role 56 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,680 players around him that are also great in their own right. 57 00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:07,919 You look at Rob Wright, you look at Canar, Davis Kabakata, 58 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,159 I mean, all these guys who thrived at their previous schools. 59 00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:13,240 I mean, it just seemed like a recipe that was 60 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,759 bound to work on all fronts, whether that be in 61 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:22,039 conference or during March badness unfortunately, you know, as what 62 00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:25,159 goes with sports is that injury bug. And I mean 63 00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:27,719 it's not just BYU that's feeling it. I mean, it's 64 00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:29,680 been a rough week for the Big twelve. You know, 65 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,680 you watch Texas Tech lose their best player and JT toppin. 66 00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:37,879 I mean, it's just it starts to get to that point, 67 00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:41,639 you know in the season where where longevity and durability 68 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,000 starts to really set in and say, okay, do we 69 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:48,039 have enough pieces from a health perspective to get us 70 00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:50,879 not only through conference but to March. You know, I 71 00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:53,919 love this team. I still think to your point been 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,960 that this absolutely is the top twenty five teams. I 73 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,199 think coach you mentioned it during his press conference or 74 00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:05,800 his interview on Monday. Hey, listen, he's got a challenging, 75 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,080 daunting task ahead of him. He's got to figure out 76 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,360 how to revamp their style of play mid season while 77 00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:16,480 trying to you know, win games. That's a tough place 78 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,240 to be in as a coach. I don't envy him. 79 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,839 And on top of that, right you're playing in the 80 00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:24,040 best basketball conference in the country. You get no breaks, 81 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,399 you know, and not to everybody. So I feel for 82 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,240 by you, and it hurts being a fan just knowing that, 83 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,519 you know you lose a leader in Richie. But I'm 84 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,399 excited to see what the likes of a Canar Davis 85 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,920 or or or Alec or even a dying Monday Dominique, 86 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,439 even what they would do, you know, with more opportunity. 87 00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, the question is who does Ky trust. It doesn't 88 00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:51,759 seem like he trusts any one of those guys, me Hilo, 89 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,800 even though he started him. I think he's just kind 90 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,639 of trying things out. He's seeing what sticks. Alexei really 91 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,800 quick pull after he turned the ball over, trying to 92 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,839 get the ball to aj Debon. 93 00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: So it doesn't seem like he likes his bench. 94 00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: I think last year, how many points did they average 95 00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:10,920 off the bench? 96 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,879 Speaker 3: Vic? How many points did they average off the bench 97 00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:16,879 last year? Yeah, last year thirty, a little over thirty 98 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,680 points a game off the bench, and this year it's 99 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,199 eleven eleven. I mean, it's insane. 100 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: He doesn't trust the bench, He doesn't trust anyone outside 101 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:24,279 of those three that I mentioned in a little bit 102 00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:24,680 of Kava. 103 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,959 Speaker 4: I mean it's a tough place to be. I mean, 104 00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:31,120 you're absolutely right, Ben, when you don't have a strong bench, 105 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,839 you're relying on your front five maybe six to do 106 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,040 all of the work. You lose a huge production piece 107 00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:40,800 in Richie. Who's going to be that next guy? I 108 00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:45,319 was kind of hoping and Booth would have slid into 109 00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:47,600 that role and had a little bit more of a presence. 110 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:50,279 I mean, I'm still hopeful that he. I think he 111 00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:53,600 probably has the most confidence going in. Right, he's been playing, 112 00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:56,199 He's got minutes throughout the year. He's one that I 113 00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:58,519 you know, he may have to be one that really 114 00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:01,040 slides didn't start to make plays. The tough part is, right, 115 00:06:01,079 --> 00:06:04,800 is you're trying to generate confidence in guys who haven't 116 00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:07,759 necessarily been playing all year, right, and so it's not 117 00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:10,600 just a matter of Kevin shrusting these guys. That's Hey, 118 00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:12,360 when I'm put in the game, do I have the 119 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,959 confidence enough to make a shot? I haven't really been 120 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000 given this opportunity much prior to today. Do I have what 121 00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:21,240 it takes to stand in and make shots? Because that's 122 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,399 what the team is going to need. And also guarding 123 00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:25,360 at a high level, which I think we've seen a 124 00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:28,279 huge drop off in Uius defense the last few games. 125 00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, at least with Boop you do have like it 126 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,120 looks like he plays confidently and what he knows how 127 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,720 to do like I mean, he's not an offensive player, right, 128 00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:44,720 but he does know how to rebound. He does play 129 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,959 great defense, and he plays with intensity and a competitive fire. 130 00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:54,639 I feel like he's probably the most consistent out of 131 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,160 the crew and plays with some confidence, whereas Mihilo his 132 00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:03,079 confidence is waivered. You don't know what you're gonna get 133 00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:04,959 from him, Alexi, you don't know what you're gonna get 134 00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:05,360 from him. 135 00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 3: You just know what you're gonna get from any one 136 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:07,600 of these guys. 137 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: Dominique Diamande looks good like from a tangible length standpoint athleticism, 138 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,000 but he he kind of looks lost a little bit 139 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,480 both offensively defense. He doesn't play with confidence. 140 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of these guys look the part. Well, 141 00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:22,959 I've noticed been and I'm moms bought on with you. Right, 142 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,319 You're looking at their stats on paper and it's like, okay, me, 143 00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:27,759 guys should all be huge factors in a game. But 144 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,079 it doesn't always translate. I mean, one thing that we'll see, 145 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,680 it was very apparent in watching by you would geint Arizona, 146 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,959 is they have to get some more consistent offense, some 147 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,360 more flow, some more movement. Right, It's gonna be hard 148 00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:44,720 if if every game, you know, Buiu is relying on 149 00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:47,839 aj to shoot twenty five plus shot the game, Rob 150 00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:50,480 Wright to shoot fifteen plus shots the game just for 151 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,279 them to be competitive, that's gonna be a hard, hard 152 00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:56,560 way to win basketball games here on out. I mean, 153 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,519 so it's gonna take some more motion in their offense. 154 00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:02,000 Guys are gonna have to step up and make plays, 155 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,319 whether that be making shots, getting on the offensive glass 156 00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:08,959 and creative sec creating second chance opportunities, or just say 157 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,839 executing sets. I mean, I think Kevin Young hit the 158 00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:14,240 nail on the head saying, hey, I'm the challenge is 159 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,439 trying to figure out now how to revamp, and we'll 160 00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:20,439 see what that turns into over these next few weeks. 161 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: Right now, they're a top twenty five team. Ken Palm 162 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,959 has them as a top twenty five team. When you 163 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,439 watch this team play, and I know it's hard because 164 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,759 you're going against the best of the best. These are 165 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,240 some of the best teams in college basketball. Do you 166 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:36,840 see a top twenty five team. 167 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,759 Speaker 4: I do see the top twenty five team. I absolutely do. 168 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,480 I think it may not show as much in the 169 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,000 Big Twelve because of the bohemoth of a Big twelve conference. 170 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,639 I think it'll start to show once we truly get 171 00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:54,879 to March madness. I think if the VIEWI you can 172 00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:58,399 stay healthy from now until it's time for selection Sunday. 173 00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:01,799 I like rolling, rolling the dicing. It's a non Big 174 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,879 twelve team. Again, like we mentioned, right, some of the 175 00:09:04,879 --> 00:09:08,240 best defensive teams based off just stats all live in 176 00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:11,120 the Big twelve. We're talking about Arizona, We're talking about Houston, 177 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,279 We're talking about Texas Tech. These are all teams that 178 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,399 defensively they were going to give you Au problems whether 179 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,679 Richie was there or not. And we've seen that, you 180 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,320 know what I mean. And so now it's a matter 181 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,080 of Okay, can they get to selection Sunday, win enough 182 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,639 games and hopefully going a little run in their conference tournament, 183 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,840 and then make some noise against the team that they 184 00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:34,000 haven't seen yet in conference. 185 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,279 Speaker 3: Yeah. 186 00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: I've been discussing kind of florin ceiling for this team 187 00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:42,559 without Ritchie and with the bench just I'm not confident 188 00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:44,639 in the bench. What do you think the florn ceiling 189 00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:47,480 is for this team in the NCUBA tournament. 190 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 4: Oh, good question. 191 00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: I think I think we can agree. This is an 192 00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:55,440 NCUBA tournament team, right. You're not concerned that they're not 193 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,679 going to the NCAA tournament. 194 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,919 Speaker 4: No, I'm not concerned with that. I think they'll get there, right. Yeah, 195 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,799 They're gonna need to win another They're gonna need to 196 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,120 win a couple more conference games, that is for sure. 197 00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:08,279 But I still do I still believe that they get there. 198 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,879 It's looking more and more like, you know, they're gonna 199 00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:17,679 have that six, seven to eight type seed and it 200 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,240 gets icy. You never know who that who end up. 201 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: You know, you end up. 202 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,759 Speaker 4: Facing on the other side. If it's a nine to eight, 203 00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:25,320 it's kind of risky, right, But I do, like I said, 204 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,799 I like I like Kevin's chances coaching in tournament. I 205 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,840 like the fact that you're dealing with a team that's 206 00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:35,080 not seen you before. Once you get to March Madness, 207 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,600 they haven't really they can prepare for you, but it's 208 00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:41,200 not something that they've seen, and so I see there's 209 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,480 a ceiling. I still think, b Y, you can make 210 00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:45,440 a run to the sweet sixteen. I'm not I'm not 211 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,080 all the way against that, but again, it's gonna take 212 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,320 some reshaping of the offense, and it's gonna need to 213 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,039 be some more coninuity with guys making plays on all sides. 214 00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:58,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's an interesting predicament. Like I said many 215 00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:03,559 times on the show, our expectations determine our happiness, and 216 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,679 right now b YU has the worst luck, it seems 217 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,759 in college basketball. 218 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,279 Speaker 3: Have you ever seen this many season ending injuries? 219 00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: And sid I mean Dawson Baker going down obviously heard 220 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,960 early on in the year, Nate Pickens prior to that. 221 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,039 I don't know if he was damaged goods when he 222 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,360 arrived and or he got if he got injured. While 223 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,080 at b YU you have Richie going down. 224 00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 3: Which is devastating. 225 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,879 Speaker 1: Like this BOE basketball team was still high powered and 226 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:37,080 efficient offensively with Richie. Now without him, you're hoping that 227 00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:39,000 Kennard Davis and others can step up. 228 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 3: But have you ever seen this many season ending injuries before? 229 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 4: No, I haven't. I think they totaled six injuries on 230 00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:49,159 the BU at your roster, six injuries. 231 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,919 Speaker 3: I mean, and Xavian stateon both out too. 232 00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:54,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we're talking about guys that who were 233 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,360 promising that we I don't even know if they put 234 00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:58,720 on a jersey yet this year, you know, and they're 235 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,919 injured going into the season, so that, I mean, that 236 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,639 piece is definitely alarming. I mean it's hard as a coach. 237 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,159 You don't you're going into your preseason and regular season, 238 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,080 you know, without a full staff. Yes, concerning I've not 239 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,679 seen anything like this before, and I think that's one 240 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,879 good thing that that coach Young has under his belt 241 00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:19,919 that hey, we've been like this all year, right, We've 242 00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:22,759 not been full staff for the entire season, and we've 243 00:12:22,759 --> 00:12:25,080 somehow figured out a way to be a top twenty 244 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,840 five team, and now it's hey, how do we continue 245 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,559 that on? I would love to have seen a Bernie 246 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,360 Kolowski or a Pickens or even see Staton, you know, 247 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,919 grow and develop, getting some minutes, you know, throughout the 248 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,639 course of the year. But you know, unfortunately that injury blugs, 249 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,759 like you said, it hits and it hits hard, and 250 00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:45,679 you're kind of left with whatever or whatever is in 251 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,639 the cupboards to try to figure it out. 252 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: Yes, Indeed, Anson Winder, former b YU great bucket Getter, 253 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,279 talking some b YU basketball here on your Utah. 254 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,399 Speaker 3: ESPN Radio network. 255 00:12:57,519 --> 00:12:59,919 Speaker 1: I feel like Canard Davis has to take a law 256 00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:05,159 arger role offensively. K Why said in one of the 257 00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:07,279 post games, I think two games to go out for Colorado, 258 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,799 that he had done into service to Canard by kind 259 00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:15,240 of pigeonholing him, pigeonholding him into a catch and shoot 260 00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:18,600 and picking pop guy. Now we're seeing more sets, We're 261 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:23,240 seeing more action for Canard coming off screens, you know, 262 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,279 putting the ball on the floor and getting to the rim, 263 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,440 getting to the free throw line. What role do you expect, 264 00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:31,320 what expanded role do you expect from Canard Davis Junior 265 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,960 down the stretch, He's last five games and getting into 266 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,759 Big twelve and NCAA tournament play. 267 00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 4: I mean, listen, right there, no one on the roster 268 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,000 can replace the production that you get from Ritchie. It 269 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,919 just just his leadership, just his presence, right is a 270 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,279 stat in itself. I mean, it's hard to replace. It 271 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,399 really is going to be by committee. It's going to take. 272 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,440 It's going to take move Davis, it's going to take 273 00:13:56,759 --> 00:14:00,879 it's going to take all these guys collectively contributing to 274 00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:04,039 try to reach that production of Richie. I did notice 275 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,039 in the game against UH the Arizona that yet they 276 00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:10,519 did try to run more sets for for Canard to 277 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,559 get him going, he's gonna have to be more assertive 278 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,559 on offense. I know that hasn't been his his task 279 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,559 through most of the year, But for YU to be successful, 280 00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:22,840 he has to be that third option because he's He's 281 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,960 the one the next step that has that ability. So 282 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,440 he's gonna have to be able to stretch the floor, 283 00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:29,840 make shots. They're gonna lean on him to create and 284 00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:32,919 make plays for others, and he has to space the floor. 285 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,159 He's not a weapon. From the three point line. The 286 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,480 floor is gonna shrink, which is gonna make life even 287 00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:41,000 harder for Robert Wright to touch the paint. It's gonna 288 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,240 be hard for A J to get to his spots. 289 00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:46,399 So right now they're just fighting desperately to figure out 290 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,360 who that third and fourth option will be. And it's 291 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,240 gonna take Canard being a lot more aggressive to do that. 292 00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:57,440 I know. In the breakdown of shot selection against Arizona, 293 00:14:57,759 --> 00:15:00,080 I think U, R, A, J and Rob had the 294 00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:03,679 most shots. I'd love to see, you know, five or 295 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,360 six more of those shots from from AJ and Rob 296 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,360 go to Canard Davis hopefully at three point line. Right 297 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,200 I think if he can get some confidence in his 298 00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:14,639 shot and space the floor with his three point shooting. 299 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,440 How'll only help? And what can you know what coach 300 00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:18,840 young can create offensively? 301 00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:22,759 Speaker 1: And soon I just thought about something I want to 302 00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:24,200 get your thoughts on. They did a preppy for this, 303 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,240 so I'll give you a few moments to think about this. 304 00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:28,879 Speaker 3: I always say mammals. 305 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: Need mentorship, right, and whenever you get into BYU, whether 306 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,039 you're LDS non LDS, you need some like you need 307 00:15:36,039 --> 00:15:38,559 a little pep talk, you need some strategy. Everyone signs 308 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,679 the honor code right, you read through it and stuff 309 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,679 like that. But sometimes you don't know everything that entails. 310 00:15:42,679 --> 00:15:44,080 You don't know about the culture. You don't know about 311 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,600 the faith. You don't know about the realers. You don't 312 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,200 know about the fans. You don't know about the ladies. 313 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,960 You don't know about all the things that that could 314 00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:53,679 go could go a ride during your collegiate experience as 315 00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:57,200 a student athlete at BYU, and so like, you know, 316 00:15:57,759 --> 00:15:59,240 you know, I mentored a lot of guys when I 317 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,480 was there at BUYU, mentored them after b YU, I'm like, 318 00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:05,559 there probably needs to be like an introductory like third 319 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,759 party mentorship program for all student athletes because these are 320 00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:12,679 flag bearers of the university. 321 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,519 Speaker 3: You're signing up, especially. 322 00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:17,399 Speaker 1: In the NIL era, you're getting more money, you're getting 323 00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:20,039 corporate sponsorship, money, you're getting all these things. Like I 324 00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:22,799 feel like now more than ever, there needs to be 325 00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:24,799 like there's like third party. They don't have to be 326 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,320 a part of BAU, but they have to be like 327 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,159 BYU affiliated, Like individuals that know the geography, the culture, 328 00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:36,519 the people, the main players, and what's expected to kind 329 00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:40,279 of prep these guys and even mentor them throughout the process. 330 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: Give me your thoughts on that, Man. 331 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 4: I think you hit the nail on the head. This 332 00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:47,159 is one thing had and I had that when I 333 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,480 was at BYU had some of my teammates. I'm sure Ben, 334 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:51,759 if you had that with you EVERYWAYU not so you didn't, 335 00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:55,120 But I mean I think anybody with that type of 336 00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:58,559 just guidance and mentorship would thrive. I think I would 337 00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:00,720 have did way better had someone kind of prepped me 338 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:03,399 for what I was getting myself into when and for 339 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,200 that reason, as soon as I graduated, you know, I 340 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,720 did my best to stay around the program and to 341 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,480 stay involved in the Academic Center and the Athletic Academic 342 00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:15,119 Center to try to be you know that resource. I 343 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,359 think that's brilliant. I think that's absolutely would be a 344 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,640 unique using a unique place, not bad or good. And 345 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,000 when I use the word unique, I'm just saying it's 346 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,680 just different. You know, when it's best or you know, 347 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,839 whoever's coming in, whether that be someone from Utah for 348 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,960 someone from out of the state or out of the country, 349 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,599 I think they would benefit them tremendously just having some 350 00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:39,160 type of guidance for someone to lean on to say, hey, look, 351 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,079 I don't quite understand this. What can you explain like 352 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,200 what this means or how I go about handling this 353 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,839 type of situation. And so yeah, I totally support that. 354 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,599 I'd be something I'd love to be a part of. 355 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,319 As someone who's graduated from YU and and had success there, 356 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,839 you know, I would see continued success for the program 357 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,720 as well. So I mean, whoever is, whoever's on board 358 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,279 with trying to build something like this, I mean, sign 359 00:18:01,319 --> 00:18:03,720 me up, because I think it'll only pay dividends in 360 00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:04,319 the long run. 361 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: And the reason why I bring up third party is 362 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,880 because I mean there's certainly individuals within the football program, 363 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,079 in the basketball program and the athlete, uh the the 364 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,160 athletic department that I think can fill those roles right 365 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,799 to a degree. But I think in an official capacity 366 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,920 you may be limited on what you can and can't say. 367 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,519 Speaker 3: Does that make sense a little bit? 368 00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: Like you know, like in an official capacity you have 369 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,640 to be like, hey, like you know, you know, there's 370 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,279 certain things you gotta do and that's it, Like that's 371 00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:40,559 black and white. Whereas as a third party, you're like, 372 00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:43,640 all right, hey, let me talk about some gray area here. 373 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying like, you know what I mean. 374 00:18:46,079 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: Like like you need like some third party like that 375 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,119 that is BYU tried and true, loyal, strong and true 376 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,759 that it's like, look like, you know, here's a little 377 00:18:56,759 --> 00:19:00,039 bit of like some some gray like on how to 378 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,759 navigate and they talk about the pros and cons and 379 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:09,279 the nuances and subtleties and mentorship, right and so anyway, 380 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,680 it was just the thought that I had to, like, 381 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,920 you know, I'm gonna pitch that over to my guy answered, no, I. 382 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,799 Speaker 4: Think you know, for someone like me who came in 383 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,559 having you know, again, I'm not a member of the faith, 384 00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:22,039 I'm blugging from Utah. I mean, there are a lot 385 00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:24,960 of double negatives again to me, right, it would have 386 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,200 been very nice to have someone there just as a 387 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,680 soundboard to say, hey, look, help me navigate this, you 388 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,319 know what I mean, Somebody that's gonna shoot me straight, 389 00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:36,519 someone who's not paid by YU to say what sounds good, 390 00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:39,519 someone who's gonna tell me something that's raw and maybe 391 00:19:39,559 --> 00:19:42,519 not the most pleasant or beautiful way of saying something, 392 00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:44,119 but it's the truth, right, And at the end of 393 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,920 the day, we all need the truth. So yeah, not 394 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,839 even just from a day to day I mean, I 395 00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:52,759 think even from a mentorship program long term. Right, Let's 396 00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:55,400 talk about how you're handling your money, right, Let's talk 397 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,359 about what you want to do after sports. How do 398 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,079 you go about setting up yourself and your family. You've 399 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,720 for these athletes who have come into a large sum 400 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,039 of money, Hey, what are you doing with that? 401 00:20:05,279 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 2: Right? 402 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 4: Please don't tell me you're just going to buy a 403 00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:10,240 car and then spending the rest on on on on 404 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,559 dates Like let's let's let's be smart with with what 405 00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:16,400 we're doing and make plans for the future that that 406 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,640 keeps this money, you know, in house and sustainable long term. 407 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. Ants and winder ladies in general. 408 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,480 Former B Yu bucket get are talking some BYU basketball, 409 00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:28,880 talking some mentorship as well. Final a couple of things here. 410 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,920 Anson was as we uh uh finish up this segment. 411 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,960 This uh the trajectory of BYU basketball. I mean, I 412 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:42,640 think everyone's optimistic, right, like the future looks bright. Give 413 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,480 me your opinion on what has happened here, Okay, I 414 00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:47,839 think this is an interesting study. 415 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,079 Speaker 3: We broached it. Some people think it's controversial. 416 00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 4: Uh. 417 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: I love talking about these things, and you know me 418 00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:55,160 better than anybody because I like delving into these things. 419 00:20:56,279 --> 00:20:59,319 Speaker 3: For the longest time. BYU was built a certain way, right. 420 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: You were a part of a team over a four 421 00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:08,039 or five year period that that had you know, traditionally 422 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,759 kind of these LDS baseline players. You know, maybe from Utah, 423 00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:14,400 the Greater Mountain Western region you have Jim or coming 424 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,079 in from the East Coast. LDS didn't serve a mission. 425 00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:20,079 There's always those little like dynamics. You'll have maybe a 426 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,119 juco player or two or or what have you, right, 427 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,240 and you have what I would deem a is the 428 00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:27,839 double minorities. Or you bring in a guy like Charles A. 429 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,000 Buo who's at a prep school and all you know, 430 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,240 it's like peppering what we're seeing now. And it happened 431 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,880 in the Mark Pope era. Uh the starting five at 432 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,759 one point with the Mark Pope, none of them lds, 433 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,119 all of them brothers, brothers like you had. I think 434 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,960 it was Rudy Williams. It was Oh gosh, I was 435 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,000 y Yeah, foos foos is loose. Right, there was a 436 00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:56,640 there was like a I mean, it was awesome. It 437 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,400 was I celebrated it. 438 00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 3: It was. It was awesome. 439 00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: And right now, with all the injuries that have happened 440 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,680 Ritchie Dawson, there's not an LDS player that's playing right now. Bro, 441 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,359 Brody's out. All the LDS guys are out right now. 442 00:22:11,759 --> 00:22:14,039 Speaker 3: It's pretty crazy, bro Like, And I'm wondering. 443 00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:16,759 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, what does the future of BOU basketball 444 00:22:16,759 --> 00:22:18,640 look like? And you know me, dude, I just want 445 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,039 good basketball and people to sign up to represent b YU, 446 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,160 be a part of the honor code. 447 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 3: But what does the future of BOU basketball look like? 448 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,559 Speaker 1: From like a demographic stamper, from a religious standpoint, Yeah, no, 449 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,200 I think. 450 00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 4: A lot of that went out the window been when 451 00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:36,039 when this nil era ushered its way in. And I 452 00:22:36,079 --> 00:22:39,359 think you're spot on right, Pope coach Poe before he 453 00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:41,279 left and went to Kentucky, Right, he was kind of 454 00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:43,759 bushering in that new era. And then on top of that, 455 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,599 right you factoring in IL and and just the transfer 456 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,079 portal as a whole, and that's changed the whole dynamic 457 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,359 for for a lot of schools, not even just BYU. 458 00:22:51,799 --> 00:22:53,559 And I think it's it's forced a lot of schools 459 00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:56,440 who traditionally would recruit a certain way to say, Okay, 460 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,720 we need to get out of the box a little 461 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,519 bit if we want to be six. Right, there's so 462 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,240 much change that happened for just BYU specifically, whether you 463 00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:08,480 talk about changes in conference, changes in coaching, is athletic 464 00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:12,119 directors just overall landscape, so many changes. I think this 465 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,079 is by you trying to stay as competitive as involved 466 00:23:16,079 --> 00:23:20,839 as possible. But now it's going to take the culture 467 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,759 around it to adjust to some of these changes too, 468 00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:27,319 because I think from a football and basketball perspective, coaching 469 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,480 wise and team wise, they're ready for those changes and 470 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,400 and those revisions to how we go about recruiting and 471 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,039 building a roster. But now it's just the culture as 472 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:40,160 a whole within BYU has that has that thought process 473 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,200 changed there as well, because you're spat. I've been there. 474 00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:45,839 It's definitely a roster now that's it's mixed. It's not 475 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,400 ninety percent LDS anymore like it used to be, and 476 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,079 that's that's not a bad thing. I think it's it's 477 00:23:53,079 --> 00:23:56,519 just that variety and diversity that I think BYU needs 478 00:23:57,799 --> 00:24:00,440 but also too will help stay competitive at the end of. 479 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,559 Speaker 3: The day, no doubt. 480 00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was Rudy Williams, Jackson Robinson, Gideon George. 481 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,799 I want to say it was Foos and maybe even 482 00:24:06,839 --> 00:24:11,400 a Tiki ali Atiki was that lineup and it was 483 00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:13,799 it was obviously it was monumental. I mean it was 484 00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:18,319 something that that had never, you know, been seen before. 485 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,680 You know, no lds and and there's no there's no 486 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,559 traditional b YU guys in the lineup. So I find 487 00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:28,799 it interesting and that's what we're seeing right now, and 488 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,759 it's pretty fun to watch. It's great basketball, Top twenty 489 00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:34,640 five basketball. I just wish we didn't have so many 490 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,960 freaking injuries. But it's pretty crazy to see the bad 491 00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:40,839 luck that has also followed b Way this year. 492 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like it. Anson. 493 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,599 Speaker 1: We appreciate you, we love you. Man, and I can't 494 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,640 wait to catch up with you again soon. We'll be 495 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:48,480 seeing you later tonight. 496 00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:49,559 Speaker 3: Brother. Thanks for hopping on. 497 00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:52,079 Speaker 1: And one last thing, actually, you are one of the 498 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,160 assistant coaches over there at wassatch Academy. Wassatch Academy has 499 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,519 some great players this year. Give us a little breakdown 500 00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:02,000 what's going on with watschach Academy. 501 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 4: I love it, Thanks, Ben, I appreciate you. Yes, watchich Academy. 502 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,319 We're killing and man, we're on a fifteen game win streak. 503 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,839 We won fifteen games straight. We haven't lost since December eighteenth. 504 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,559 To be exact, the guys are their ranked seventh in 505 00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:18,799 the country right now. We have three games left, so 506 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,400 we play two games this weekend. We played the number 507 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,640 three team in the country by the name of Arizona Compass, 508 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,599 and then we have Utah Prep, the former school of 509 00:25:28,599 --> 00:25:33,720 AJ Debonsa. We play them next Friday. So we're winding 510 00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:38,079 down on our regular season. We'll go to Georgia in 511 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,480 March for our conference tournament and hope to make some 512 00:25:41,559 --> 00:25:43,839 noise there. As we all know, March Madness can be 513 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,079 a very interesting time for us, so we're just hoping 514 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,759 that to get hot and continue to ride the wave. 515 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,680 I mean, it's been fun to watch this group. Me personally, 516 00:25:53,759 --> 00:25:55,920 I've recruited a lot of these kids since they were 517 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,079 you know, early high school, even middle school, so I've 518 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,079 known them for a long time time, and so to 519 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,680 see them get to this status where their upperclassmen and 520 00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:08,160 having success, I mean, it's it's beautiful to see. I 521 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,039 think we have we have aspirations to to not only 522 00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:13,680 win our conference, but to go on and hopefully win 523 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,440 a national championship. So we know we're going to continue 524 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,599 to put in the work, put in the time, and 525 00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:20,599 and hopefully we can raise a banner here in the 526 00:26:20,599 --> 00:26:21,359 next few weeks. 527 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 3: Love it man. 528 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: Any players that are getting recruited by the local schools 529 00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:25,920 d yu. 530 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 4: Oh, good question.
