Fan of the springball element. But uh, 41 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,960 I get it. It's it's always good to talk football 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000 and specially to be Willia football. But but yeah, I 43 00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:26,560 think my favorite time of year is August September. Yeah, 44 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,680 that where it gets really exciting. 45 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 3: No doubt about it. 46 00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 5: Uh. 47 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,719 Speaker 3: Well, you know, champions are built in the offseason. Uh 48 00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:37,120 what is uh what's the buzz around b YU right 49 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,039 now during springball? Would you say? 50 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 4: Well, I mean the guys are competing hard, you know, 51 00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:45,520 and I think that's just expected. That's just who these 52 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,599 guys are, you know. And that's one thing that I 53 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,800 always laugh at, you know. And you get these coaches 54 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,319 sometimes and they're always like, we gotta we gotta find 55 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,759 some physical or we gotta have a physical football team 56 00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:56,719 that can pete hard. 57 00:02:57,479 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 5: You know. 58 00:02:57,759 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 4: Well, the first step in doing that, ladies and gentlemen, 59 00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:01,800 you recruit those kind of guys. You recruit guys that 60 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,639 are physical. You're recouit guys that are competitive, and then 61 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,159 you just let them go. And that's what Kilani and 62 00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:09,759 their staff is done, is they got a high level, 63 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,000 high volume amount of guys that are competitors. They put physical, 64 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,439 they play hard, they like the game, actually love the game, 65 00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:18,879 and so you put the ball down anywhere. I mean, 66 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,759 at any time. These guys are gonna go out. They're 67 00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:22,560 gonna play hard, they're gonna have fun doing it, They're 68 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,360 gonna be physical, they're gonna do it the right way. 69 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,159 And that's how they've been this whole time during the spring. 70 00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:29,919 And the things that just jump out of me, though, 71 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,400 are you just have guys stack in years. You know, 72 00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:36,280 you have guys that maybe got the feet wet last 73 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,879 year or entered the program last year. Bear, and now 74 00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:42,120 all of a sudden you have this whole time now 75 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,759 where you kind of reset the installation, you reset you know, 76 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:50,520 the how comfortable you are with certain things. Now you 77 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,599 have an offense it's geared towards you, and all of 78 00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:55,680 a sudden, it's like, I'm just in the flow, you know. 79 00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:57,520 That's what Bar looks like right now, which is fun 80 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,240 to see, you know. And then he's getting more and 81 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,400 more comfortable with his new auditions at tight end and 82 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,919 then also on the edges there with Casper, and Casper's 83 00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,319 looked great, by the way, the big tak receiver from 84 00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:11,520 Ore getting very good in the fade game. He's also 85 00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:15,080 shown some proficiency in this route running in the short area. Also, 86 00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:18,480 I liked how all the guys in terms of offensive 87 00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:22,480 receivers have been very adept to reacting to man versus 88 00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:25,639 his own, finding the dead spaces in the zone, understanding 89 00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:28,439 the leverage points and man and where the help is, 90 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,879 and then running away from the leverage point and not 91 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,839 running towards help. You know, like for example, he's got 92 00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:36,160 a you know, middle of field safety, and you got 93 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,560 a guy who's running a post. Oh, he's gonna skinny 94 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,959 that post a little bit more if he's got a 95 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,360 middlefield safety sit there, you know. And it's listen to 96 00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:44,279 nuances that I just don't know, we saw a lot 97 00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:47,199 of last year, which makes sense because you got guys 98 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,600 that are kind of just learning. And then I'll talk 99 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,759 that you're getting comfortable with this, you know, with quarter 100 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,079 I'm referencing training camp, you know, getting comfortable with your quarterback. 101 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,600 And so that's very much behind us right now. And 102 00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:01,879 then we have two other quarterbacks that have looked also 103 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,279 very sharp, you know, you know, watching the young guy, 104 00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:07,560 I'd say is the guy that really is interesting, just 105 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,560 because he's so big and he's got all these different 106 00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:12,399 arm angles he can throw from and he's so rod 107 00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:14,439 just because he has showed up a couple of months ago. 108 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,639 But you kind of see him going through that same 109 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,720 learning curve too, where every day he's kind of getting 110 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,600 a little more comfortable, a little bit more in the flow. 111 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,360 So it's been it's been good. I'd say overall is 112 00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:27,199 you're Kwai and that staff. You have to feel good. 113 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,399 You're especially happy guys that stayed healthy and just hope 114 00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:34,120 he continued on that same path. And like I said, 115 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,839 if anything, you're gonna if there's any air here, just 116 00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:40,519 air to keep guys fresh, keep him healthy because they're 117 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,879 looking good. 118 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 3: Do you feel like Kyler Casper could be a wide 119 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,160 receiver one for BYU, similar to what like Chase was 120 00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:51,800 maybe last year for b Yu. 121 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 122 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's you know who I receive one, two, 123 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,879 three things an interesting conversation because it's not really dictated, 124 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,759 pre determined. I mean, it's really not pre determined. I 125 00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:05,160 think that's what I'm getting at it. It's really who's 126 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:07,279 open and who's gonna beat a guy like especially if 127 00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:09,879 you know it's Manda Man and and he's the guy 128 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,319 that really seems like it doesn't matter who you have 129 00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:16,240 on him. He's he's able to use his height. His 130 00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:21,279 catch radious too, and and he's competitive. That's one thing 131 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,720 too that people try to cut I I do don't 132 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,360 don't give a lot of these receivers credit. Is when 133 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,360 there are those fifty fifty balls or you got our 134 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,240 you know, Carver corner just drades all over, you gotta 135 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,439 find a way to make the play. And he's been 136 00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:35,800 doing that pretty consistently. He's been testing our guys, and 137 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,279 our guys are good. You know, got Trey, you got 138 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,079 you know, got maybe there and you get you know, 139 00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:42,839 I got a new addition from uh, you know down 140 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,720 south there that's uh, that's transfer. So we got some 141 00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:48,240 good corners and he's been he's done a nice job 142 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,160 of being competitive. But I will say there's other guys 143 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,319 too that are showing up and they're they're doing good stuff, 144 00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:56,040 and it's gonna come to me. It's very suf to 145 00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:59,319 just get open, make plays and gets like Jojo he's 146 00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:01,680 been looking good to But it's like, get open and 147 00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:03,759 make plays and they're just gonna give you the ball 148 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,560 and then ball it's like, oh, I guess you're the one, 149 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,160 you know, number one right, white out or whatever. Number 150 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,160 one receiver. So just that's that's my thing is just 151 00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:13,160 get open, make plays. You're gonna get a lot of 152 00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:17,199 opportunities because guess what, everybody wants to see you make plays. 153 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,920 And that's the beauty of also being by U part 154 00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:24,480 of the BYU experiences. Those fans, man, it's it's it's 155 00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:27,600 just they yearn for people to make plays. They want 156 00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:30,839 to cheer for you, they want you to become legendary, 157 00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:33,399 you know, So just just just comply with them, man, 158 00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:34,360 Just go ahead and do it. 159 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 3: Go make some plays. We're gonna see a whole lot 160 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,680 more twelve personnel this season for Kaloni Sataki Kalani was 161 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,480 asked the question about who he's been most impressed by 162 00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:48,240 from a position group, and he mentioned Walker Lyons and 163 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,360 Roger style of Paga. The two transfers, one from USC 164 00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:56,560 one from from Oregon and uh look like uh? Is 165 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,439 this another dynamic doulo a like onto a tool a 166 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,199 Melian had Lewis like under Johnny Harley and Dan Coat 167 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,040 like onto Dennis Pitta and Andrew George. What do you 168 00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:06,560 make of it? 169 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 4: Well, it's it's very evident that it's very difficult when 170 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,920 you have a two tight end tandem like that to 171 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,519 defend because they can mold and morph without change of 172 00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:23,839 personnel groupings into a lot of different offenses. You know, 173 00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:26,560 they they can flex those guys out into the slot 174 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,040 and make it basically a spread formation. They could flex 175 00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:30,399 one guy out, put one guy in the end of 176 00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:34,399 the line of scrimmage like a general eleven personnel grouping. 177 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,679 Then you can put them both on the end of 178 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,200 the line of scrimmage where you can just make like 179 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,600 a twelve personnel with two tight ends on either side, 180 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,799 and then you can put one in the back of 181 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:43,360 the kind of motion of around. Now you got a 182 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,320 twenty one personel look all with the same personnel grouping, 183 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,120 and they're capable of doing that. I like about these 184 00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:52,519 tight ends that I feel like I haven't seen in 185 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,120 a while, although we had some good tight end play 186 00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:57,919 last year. I'm not trying to, you know, thrill them 187 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,759 under the bus. But one thing I feel like I'm 188 00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:03,559 seeing more with these two guys, as Fannie mentioned, is 189 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,039 their propensity to get into a man and man situation. 190 00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:11,360 Shake a guy, option off a guy, cut off a guy, 191 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,320 and then boom, they're open. I mean, it's like and 192 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,159 it's tough. You know, these guys are not easy to cover, 193 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,159 and it's nice to see that because that also creates 194 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,720 a lot of actions for your quarterback, and it creates 195 00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:24,639 a lot of problems for defense if you try to 196 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,559 man up these guys, because then you have to start 197 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,320 to think. In addition to all your fun stuff that 198 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,440 you do on defense, you start have to wonder, okay, 199 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,159 do we want a linebacker on this guy? Do you 200 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,360 want a safety even or maybe at times we need 201 00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:38,200 a corner. So adds for defense is kind of another 202 00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:41,679 level of how you're going to implement your personnel, which 203 00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:44,799 complicates things. It doesn't help you, it makes it harder. 204 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,120 And so it's interesting to see that. We'll see how 205 00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:50,440 far they can take it, because if, like I said, 206 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,919 they get to a point to where they're just uncomfortable 207 00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:55,799 with the tight end up on a linebacker, now you 208 00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:58,519 have to make some adjustments in terms of your Manda 209 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,679 Man fits who you're gonna match up with. And those 210 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,639 are good things. And then when you have cas for 211 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,320 some of these other guys showing some signs too of 212 00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:08,919 being really proficient against man and man, all of a sudden, 213 00:10:08,919 --> 00:10:12,639 now things start to read challenging for a defense, because 214 00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:14,919 you got to remember the reason why we're going to 215 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,720 see a lot of Manda Man is because uh Manda 216 00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:21,080 man concepts. Cover three post safety stuff is because of 217 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,759 wanting to stop Bear in our offensive rushing attack. So 218 00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:26,320 we're going to see a lot of it. They're not 219 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,600 gonna want to go to you know, split safety that's 220 00:10:29,639 --> 00:10:32,679 allowing us just to gain yards. And the other complexity 221 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,879 of Manda man also is you have to then have 222 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,159 some spy to put their eyes on the quarterback because 223 00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:40,000 you just can't go straight that man and man against Bear. 224 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,000 I mean, he's you're looking at the defense is looking 225 00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:45,360 at their man to cover. He can run eight ten 226 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,639 yards before all of a sudden you realize, oh, he's 227 00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:49,000 not throwing the ball, he's trying to run it. So 228 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,440 there's some good stuff going on offensively. I'm I'm pretty impressed. 229 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,480 And then you know, you got Roderick's's skill of and 230 00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:57,440 they're they're an installation face, so you don't see a 231 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,360 lot of nuances of game planning, but they still have 232 00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:04,000 a really cool schemes that just bust your reads as 233 00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:07,000 a defense, you know, and so it requires you as 234 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,559 a defense to be extra detailed, layered in your ability 235 00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:13,120 to decipher what's going on. So our offense is I 236 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:15,679 like it. It's very different, you know, because the vibe 237 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000 last year in training camp was like, Okay, let's make 238 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,039 this very simple, let's simplify this as much as we can. 239 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,679 Where as now it's like, this is full blown what 240 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,720 we can see it. It's a beautiful thing to watch. 241 00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:31,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love where those teams at right now. In 242 00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:35,399 your opinion, how does this team coming off of the 243 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,960 eleven and two and twelve and two seasons, stay humble, 244 00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:40,360 stay hungry, and not fall prey to maybe that pride 245 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,240 cycle this year? 246 00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 4: Well, I mean it comes down to the leaders. The 247 00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:48,480 leaders have to keep guys locked in and they have 248 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,559 to also keep their their focus on what's most important, 249 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,480 you know. I mean, are they okay with just showing 250 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,000 up or they want to really go for what they're 251 00:11:57,039 --> 00:11:59,240 capable of? And as we all know, if you want 252 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,080 to go with what your for what you're capable of, 253 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,559 it is going to be the hardest way you could imagine. 254 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,559 There's nothing easy about it and there will be nothing 255 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,960 easy about it. And I hate to say it, I'm 256 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,519 not trying to dog on the basketball team. But I 257 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,759 think the basketball the football team has actually fallen into 258 00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:15,639 that trap where there was a lot of assumption of, hey, 259 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,879 we got more talent, we could just show up and win, 260 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:20,279 and all of a sudden, all these teams are less talented. 261 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,440 You are just I mean, just ripping you apart. And 262 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,080 it's because nothing is ever easy. As a matter of fact, 263 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,759 the more talent you do have, it actually gets more 264 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,919 complex because with it comes expectations, There's comes higher pressure 265 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,480 from the outside, there comes that that interior intrinsic challenge. 266 00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:42,799 The thing we gotta we gotta keep pushing because we 267 00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:44,519 and then we got to find a way to get 268 00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:46,399 a chip on our shoulders. We have to keep this 269 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:50,840 edge and urgency because the thing that will ultimately put 270 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,399 YU over the top isn't raw talent. I hope people 271 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,879 realize that it's not row talent. Now, raw talent helps, 272 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,120 but it's the combination of broad talent and that BYU 273 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,720 traditional underdog mentality that led to US beating Miami in 274 00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:11,279 nineteen ninety that led to us beating you know, Kansas State, 275 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,840 Texas A and m in ninety six, that led to 276 00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:16,399 us having a heck of a run at two thousand 277 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,480 and one. That led to us and you know my 278 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,559 year two thousand and four to beat Door Dame and 279 00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:23,120 and and then you can go down you know where 280 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,519 we went down and we beat Oklahoma in the Jerry 281 00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:28,559 World the first time and TCUs and you know, upsetting 282 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,159 these teams that really, I mean, you go look at 283 00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,480 that Miami game. I don't know, so you guys, just 284 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,080 just for fun, go YouTube that Miami game in nineteen 285 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:43,039 ninety and go look at the receivers we had. Wow, 286 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,639 I'm just still shocked. And I mean I was looking 287 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,919 at our receivering car. I was like, ho, how did 288 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,440 we how do we score let alone win the game? Right? 289 00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:55,720 But it's because dudes showed up and competed their tails 290 00:13:55,759 --> 00:13:58,720 off and they didn't care. They weren't caught up with talent, 291 00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:01,600 they weren't caught up with anything. Going out and finding 292 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,000 a way to make it happen. Having some urgency and 293 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,559 your competitive approach, those are the things that really have 294 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,840 to happen. Now, you can have all the talent in 295 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:11,720 the world, but if you don't have the combination of 296 00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:13,960 those two, then the talent will get canceled out, like 297 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,080 we see them with the basketball team, and it'll be 298 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:19,200 very disappointing. So the team has to get their mindset, 299 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,639 and the mindset is this the way for them to 300 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:24,159 achieve their goals is the only way possible is through 301 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,919 the hardest, most challenging path that they're ever going to 302 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,840 have to face. And if they don't accept that reality, 303 00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:32,240 then they're in for a really big surprise because guess 304 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,799 what they're gonna face. Something else is equally as challenging, 305 00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:38,039 it as hard. That's just the nature of this game, 306 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,120 the nature competition. It is going to be brutally hard. 307 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,879 I don't care what talent we have. And so they 308 00:14:44,039 --> 00:14:46,039 keep them out and the colonia does a nice job 309 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,600 and the staff does a nice job of that. I 310 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,360 think we've got a chance. If not, then it's gonna 311 00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:52,600 be really frustrating to have to try to humble these 312 00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:54,519 dudes and get them back on track and get their 313 00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:57,720 focus back on. Half of that edge, which also may 314 00:14:57,759 --> 00:14:59,320 be part of the dealer is year. We just don't know. 315 00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:00,960 These guys are going to have to make that choice 316 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,639 based off of how they're gonna approach this year. 317 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,799 Speaker 3: Let's uh, one last thing regarding b YU football is 318 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,960 it is it feasible to see like a two like 319 00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:18,600 an empty set with you know, two tight ends, Walker Lions, 320 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,600 Roger Saliapaga and then these three other wide receivers. Kyler 321 00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:26,840 Casper six six two ten, Jojo Phillips sixty five to ten, 322 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,919 Reggie frishnet sixty four to ten. That's a big receiving group. 323 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:34,440 It kind of reminded me of like a Cody Hoffman 324 00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:39,639 Ross Oppo, Tarren Howe, Mitch Matthews, that crew with a 325 00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:43,039 bunch of tall, lanky, physical wide receivers. 326 00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:45,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean. 327 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 4: That's I think that's that's possible.

Sense like if he's getting to 872 00:44:13,639 --> 00:44:17,440 the line like Under Jim er Or Tyler hawes in their, 873 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,840 heyday drawing fouls and he's getting to the to the 874 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,880 line twelve times in a, game GETTING byu into the, 875 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,440 bonus then, YEAH i think by is A sweet sixteen. 876 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,400 TEAM i don't. THINK i don't Think BoA's A sweet sixteen. 877 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,199 Team WITH aj going eight of twenty, FIVE i don't see. 878 00:44:36,199 --> 00:44:38,880 IT i just can't see. It, so LIKE aj is 879 00:44:39,599 --> 00:44:44,039 arguably the best player in college, basketball you can't go 880 00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:46,360 eight of twenty, five and if you, do you better 881 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,079 go eight of twenty five like most of those better 882 00:44:49,119 --> 00:44:51,639 than be three, pointers, Right like you gotta make up 883 00:44:51,679 --> 00:44:54,920 for it if you're gonna shoot that that at that. 884 00:44:55,079 --> 00:44:57,599 Clip so that's kind of WHERE i, Stand, LIKE i 885 00:44:57,599 --> 00:45:03,599 IF i SAW aj getting call hitting threes and still 886 00:45:03,599 --> 00:45:06,079 shooting it with that volume and that raid at that, 887 00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:09,400 clip and he's he's almost up to thirty points per. Game, 888 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,599 YEAH i THINK bau can be A sweet sixteen. Team 889 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,639 So i'm hoping he gets the. CALLS i hope that 890 00:45:13,679 --> 00:45:18,639 THE ncaa tournament and the refs that that are employed 891 00:45:18,639 --> 00:45:21,000 at the, tournament The Big Twelve, tournament THE ncua, tournament 892 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,440 they begin to give him a little bit more of 893 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,960 the whistle because up to this point in The Big, 894 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,840 twelve would you agree The Big twelve has not been 895 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,639 friendly TO aj drawing fouls. 896 00:45:35,079 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 8: Has been fifty to. FIFTY i would say. THAT i would, 897 00:45:39,519 --> 00:45:42,760 say you know, What, ACTUALLY. 898 00:45:42,519 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 5: I will agree with. You he has been more. 899 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,599 Speaker 8: Like you, know thirty forty percent of the time he 900 00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:53,159 gets the. Call, yeah and sixty to seventy percent they 901 00:45:53,199 --> 00:45:55,599 are kind of not giving him a friendly. 902 00:45:55,639 --> 00:45:56,760 Speaker 5: WHISTLE i would agree with. 903 00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,559 Speaker 3: That, yeah it Is i'd agree with. That i'll meet 904 00:45:59,599 --> 00:46:00,920 you in the. MIDDLE i think it's probably fifty to. 905 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,199 Fifty sometimes it gets the. Call sometimes he. Doesn't AND 906 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,719 i think if you look at the numbers when you 907 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,880 get into the the you, know nine and ten and 908 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,519 eleven free.
