Speaker 2: Okay, Paul Finebaum and ESPN's Matt Berry break this down

23
00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:15,760

00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:23,760

Speaker 3: Gentleproso Utah dot Com. All right, let's get to it.

40
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: Matt Berry, ESPN's Matt Barry, and Paul findbab discussing how

41
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:08,199
the SEC.

42
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: May be a little bit broke, what's going on there.

43
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,439
Speaker 4: And the National Championship Game for me is always a

44
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:18,840
good opportunity to catch up with ads and other people

45
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,680
from around the country because it's kind of a celebration

46
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:23,960
of the sport and everyone shows up. And the conversations

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,360
that I was having over the weekend in Miami Paul

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:34,080
were that the Big Ten is flush with money. The

49
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:38,800
Big Ten has more money than the SEC. Well, what

50
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,599
does that mean, No, they don't, Yeah, they do. If

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,000
you look at the conference that has the most money,

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,919
it's the Big Ten. Well why would you say that

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,080
because five years ago Caleb Downs isn't leaving Alabama to

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,960
go to Ohio State, Julian saying isn't leaving Alabama to

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,120
go to Ohio State. Well, why they do that? Because

56
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,520
they have more money. Ohio State can just offer more.

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,120
And that's the way it is now. The money that's

58
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:07,919
flowing around to the Big Ten. It's a cast problem.

59
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:12,520
And we look now at the big picture, pol going

60
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:15,800
to their days or Nick Saban patrolling the sidelines at Alabama.

61
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:18,439
Same with Kirby Smart for that matter of being able

62
00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:19,800
to stockpile all the talent.

63
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 5: They used to be able to just stockpile all the talent.

64
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,199
Speaker 4: They were never gonna be in danger losing to any

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,719
of them. Now, if you have a coaching switch or

66
00:03:26,719 --> 00:03:30,159
a player that doesn't like something, they know Michigan, who,

67
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:33,759
by the way, outbid LSU for Bryce Underwood.

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,919
Speaker 5: This didn't used to happen.

69
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,919
Speaker 4: And that's where I think the biggest conversation has to

70
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:42,520
stop and start. Whereas people think the sec he is

71
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,159
flushed with money, they are, but they're not gonna have

72
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:48,199
Big ten money. They're flushed with talent everything down here

73
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,199
in the South, but that doesn't mean as much because

74
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,479
the Big ten just gonna throw them cash.

75
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 6: No. And you know, we're talking billionaires now, and outside

76
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,439
of Texas and Texas, A and m the list of

77
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:05,439
billionaires starts to get really thin. I can tell you

78
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:09,159
in the state of Alabama, Uh, there are two billionaires,

79
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,080
only two in the entire state. They're both Auburn supporters.

80
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,319
Alabama doesn't have a billionaire. And why is a billionaire important?

81
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,199
Map because they can throw around money.

82
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

83
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 6: You know, you can throw around money if you're worth

84
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:22,439
eight hundred billion two. Uh, But it's a little bit

85
00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:24,360
easier if you're a billionaire to give your school not

86
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:27,560
only to put your your father's name on the business building,

87
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:31,160
but to uh, you know, get give your nil fund

88
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,920
whatever it needs. And and it's and you just can't.

89
00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:36,839
You can't call the commissioner of the SEC say hey,

90
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,000
you have to solve this problem.

91
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:38,759
Speaker 7: You can't.

92
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 6: You can't print money unless you're uh, unless you got

93
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:43,000
your keys to the printing press.

94
00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

95
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 6: And it's a problem. And I think, what's you know?

96
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,319
People are theorizing on where did the SEC go wrong?

97
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,000
I don't think it's a collective situation. It's about a

98
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,360
couple of schools. It's about Alabama, it's about Georgia, it's

99
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,199
about Texas because these are the schools that that now

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,399
in Texas, A and M. You can't fix that by

101
00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:04,839
having meetings. You can't fix that by going from twelve

102
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,959
to sixteen to twenty four. It's all individual. Indiana didn't

103
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:13,560
get the Indiana was held by the Big ten. But

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,199
Indiana got to the national championship by itself.

105
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 5: You did.

106
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 6: There?

107
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: You go breaking it down, Ronald, what do you make

108
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:26,720
of the SoundBite in this college football segment Matt Berry

109
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:31,639
and Paul Finbaum breaking down the big pockets that no

110
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,240
longer maybe exist or don't exist in the SEC.

111
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 7: Look, I mean there are some facts in there.

112
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,439
Speaker 8: Obviously, Alabama, you know, the state does have the two billionaires.

113
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:41,199
Speaker 7: They are Auburn guys, they're not.

114
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 8: But I mean, if that were the case, Ben, why

115
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
is Auburn not competing at the high level Alabamas every

116
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,480
single year?

117
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 7: I want to talk about cash flow.

118
00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 8: I'm just saying like, because look, there is a fact

119
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,360
that it's true what they just stated, but it doesn't

120
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,680
add up because the return on investment Auburn was what

121
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:57,480
five and seven this sear that When was the last

122
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,399
time they've really been an excellent football team rank being

123
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:02,279
a competing I mean BYU fans are hoping that they

124
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,040
would beat Alabama for bou to you know, get into

125
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,319
the college football playoffs. That's not a good football team.

126
00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:09,480
You don't bank on another team beating another team. If

127
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,720
that team was good, they'd already be there. So don't

128
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,720
know how much of that I believe. But it's interesting

129
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,920
they talk about kayleb but I feel like Kayla left

130
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,360
because Nick Saban retired. I always say, you're playing for coaches. Look,

131
00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:23,600
Smith Snowden at at Michigan. Why coaching ties you think

132
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,839
of the same thing. A lot of people come and

133
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:27,360
play for Kilane, you know, Foley Tew said, Jay Hill

134
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,120
and Kialanie's culture like it's so tough. You know, they're

135
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,199
they're throwing just stuff around. That's not entirely true. There

136
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:36,360
are facts there, but the reasonings why are not all

137
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:39,360
the way I would agree with it. So I don't

138
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,399
think the I don't think that's true with the Big

139
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:43,879
Ten throwing around money because Kirk sneddi been he just said, now,

140
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:45,959
I tried to find the sound clip, but people at

141
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:49,279
the game were recording it. He's literally said, quote, our

142
00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:51,800
nil is nowhere near what people think it is, so

143
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,240
you can throw that out close quote. So I don't

144
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,920
think like Indiana is one of the greatest college stories,

145
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:00,800
and I don't think they were outbidding the SEC teams

146
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,480
and doing that. I don't think that Fernanda Mendoz is

147
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,959
making more than that, and maybe he might be the

148
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,199
only one, but I just don't believe that to be true.

149
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,560
And been the guy that had the game silly interception?

150
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,600
Is he really one of the highest paid cornerbacks in

151
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,279
college football? Or in that conference. I don't think so.

152
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:17,079
So I just I feel that's not all the way true. Yes,

153
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:19,279
the Big Ten does have money, Yes people are paying,

154
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:22,120
but the reasons why people are I think they're getting

155
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,040
outbit at times. But I think this is an overstatement

156
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,480
and overreaction. This is just another This is now an

157
00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:29,879
excuse Ben. Now it's an excuse they want to talk

158
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:32,399
about paying because the SEC is broke. For the last

159
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:34,839
three years they haven't won. The Big Ten has arrived

160
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,360
the Big Ten Ben is the best football conference in America.

161
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,839
It is not the SEC, and this is now just

162
00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:42,600
an excuse to not give the Big Ten credit of

163
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,000
what they've accomplished, like to say this been and Kirshin

164
00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:47,399
Eddy doesn't have that deep of anil budget. I think

165
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,079
I just feel like that's disrespectful to what the Hoosiers

166
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:50,439
do to deal.

167
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,079
Speaker 7: But that's exactly what the SEC wants.

168
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 8: They want to drive the narrative, they want to take

169
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:56,120
away and they have us talking about it and we

170
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:59,120
have to. But this I just don't believe what poem

171
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Paul farm and Matt Bearrison, I don't agree with that.

172
00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:05,160
I don't think the Big tennis outbidding everybody. Not everybody's

173
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,199
Jeremiah Smith beinn.

174
00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: Are you buying or selling the commentary from Kirk signetty

175
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:12,439
that their payroll was not as high as everyone thinks

176
00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:15,160
it is. Kurk Signetti made it a point at his

177
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,480
postgame press conference to stay like we did, we didn't

178
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,800
spend that much money on our on our roster, buying

179
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:21,480
or selling that.

180
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 7: Buying. I really am buying, Ben.

181
00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 8: I just I think with the way the culture is,

182
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:29,959
I just I don't see that he's just doing that.

183
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,399
I don't think they paid millions of dollars. I don't

184
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:34,679
think they paid more than Texas Tech. I don't think

185
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:36,320
I think they're probably, you know, in the top ten.

186
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,080
I think they're up there, but I don't think they're

187
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,240
overly paying more. I don't think they're the highest paid

188
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:42,519
NIL roster. Now that could be the case next season,

189
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:45,039
but I just you know why I don't, because Ben, normally,

190
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:47,200
when you're paying guys that are that high, it correlates

191
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,320
the NFL talent. He literally just said there's probably not

192
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,000
eight dudes on this NFL roster. That makes me think

193
00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:54,120
that because when I look at dudes like Texas Tech,

194
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,399
how many dudes are going to the league the entire

195
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,279
defensive line. Jacob Rodriguez Like, I'm serious, Like you think

196
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,120
of that?

197
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,879
Speaker 7: That's what I think. Like paying a guy that's talented correlates.

198
00:09:02,919 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 8: Ohio States Jeremiah Smith is going to be the number

199
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,919
one pick I think in next year's NFL.

200
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:08,399
Speaker 7: D like that, That's what it correlates.

201
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 8: So that's why I don't believe that, because how many

202
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,919
NFL picks outside of Fernanda Mendoz and then you know,

203
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:17,360
the wide receiver tight end are there really on this

204
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,480
roster when you think about it, Maybe five dudes I

205
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:22,679
can name, but there are other rosters that have more.

206
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:25,279
So that's why I just don't believe that to be true.

207
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,559
Because if the KAY coach, who is just won a

208
00:09:27,639 --> 00:09:30,440
national championship and can say whatever he wants, is saying that, yeah,

209
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,039
we don't have eight NFL dudes on our roster, how

210
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,279
in the world is that those five dudes? Are those

211
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,159
eight guys that could go excuse me seven, How are

212
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,960
they getting out paid more than these other schools.

213
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 7: I just don't believe it. Ben, I don't.

214
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm right with you. I think I think

215
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,600
there are some big ten schools that are overpaying. I

216
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,200
mean Penn State, their payroll was robusted, Ohio State. I

217
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,840
don't think Indiana was nearly as much as any of

218
00:09:53,879 --> 00:09:56,399
those others. I think B A I don't. I think

219
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:58,960
they outspent BYU's roster. I think b was what at

220
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,080
ten million? Reporter, I think Indiana paid more than than

221
00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:05,559
ten million for their their football roster. I would, I

222
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,039
would pretty much guarantee you that, but I don't think

223
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,440
it's necessarily the highest. Better Texas texts at twenty eight,

224
00:10:10,919 --> 00:10:13,600
I bet you Indiana would probably be in that seventy

225
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,000
to twenty range. That's how I feel about it, looking

226
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,440
at the roster, looking at what they acquired, looking at

227
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,399
what they retained last season, they still gotta pay, but

228
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:24,960
they're happy to right now. I think if you guys

229
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,320
ever been around the Hoosiers alumni base, they have a

230
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,519
pretty robust and I think resource rich alumni base.

231
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: They really do.

232
00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:41,919
Speaker 2: Notre Dame and Indiana's alumni base are, in my opinion,

233
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:45,200
early similar. They're pretty similar, and Notre dames alumni base

234
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,919
pretty robust and their their resources too. So Indiana they're

235
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,200
gonna be a player. Man, They're gonna be a player

236
00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:57,440
as long as Kurt's there. But even if Kurt eventually leaves,

237
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,799
he retires to me's sixty four right now, how many

238
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,279
more years this current want to coach? Maybe he gets

239
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,879
into his seventies and eighties.

240
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 8: I don't know, he's gone.

241
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: Bill Schnyder type of thing.

242
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, But uh yeah, Indiana is going to

243
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,360
be a player for years to come in my opinion.

244
00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:16,679
A couple other things I wanted to get into in

245
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,879
this college football segment, uh the Big twelve YouTube show.

246
00:11:21,919 --> 00:11:26,399
They did a preview of of the schedules and breaking

247
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,399
down you know what what's occurring there from the Big

248
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,600
twelve studios. The host discussed b Yu okay, and I quote,

249
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:36,600
if I had to make a decision today, I would

250
00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:38,799
have I would have Bay You ranked at the top

251
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,240
of the Big twelve just because of the amount of

252
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,559
production they have coming back, led by their quarterback Bear Bogmer.

253
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,960
Many feel like BYU with the retention that they have

254
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,120
of the roster they they they feel like that ba

255
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:52,840
You should be the.

256
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: Favorite heading into the Big Twelve.

257
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: So let's let's listen to the preview here and discuss

258
00:11:59,759 --> 00:12:00,480
it on the back hit.

259
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:04,279
Speaker 9: Next up, a team that played in Arlington a year ago.

260
00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:08,039
BYU made it to the conference championship game, just on

261
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,799
the outside looking in of the College Football Playoff. A

262
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:13,000
lot of people feel like they should have been part

263
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:15,720
of that CFP field. This is a team that brings

264
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:18,600
back a ton of talent and their schedule sets them

265
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,519
up with opportunity. Let's see what the Cougars are dealing

266
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:24,799
with with Kolonie Sataki in year number eleven. Again eight

267
00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:28,039
to one in the conference a year ago. Another big

268
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,320
game relative to the National conversation Week seven against Notre

269
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:33,519
Dame at home.

270
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 10: That game could do.

271
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 9: An awful lot to tilt the balance in terms of

272
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,440
their opportunity to be in the CFP.

273
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:40,639
Speaker 3: I think BYU.

274
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 11: Look going all the way forward to the preseason rankings.

275
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,159
If I had to make a decision today, I would

276
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,559
have BYU ranked at the top of the Big twelve

277
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:50,639
just from the amount of production they have coming back,

278
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:53,600
led by their quarterback Bear Bachmeyer. I think they also

279
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,759
the schedule sets up really well. Of the first half

280
00:12:55,799 --> 00:12:57,799
of the schedule, only two true road games in the

281
00:12:57,879 --> 00:12:59,559
first part, Colorado State.

282
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: Being one of them.

283
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 11: They'll be a heavy favorite over and then at TCU,

284
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,000
and then you mentioned getting Notre Dame to come in

285
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:07,480
the middle of the season. It's more challenging obviously when

286
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,039
you're playing them right out of the gate in week zero,

287
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,120
week one, but in the middle of the season, after

288
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,559
you've got your legs underneath you, and having Notre Dame

289
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,600
come to Provo always a difficult place to play. I

290
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,399
think the schedule sets up nicely for BYU. Think, like

291
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,799
you mentioned, it've got a lot of returning production starting

292
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,120
with Bear Bachmeier. This is one of I think will

293
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:27,000
be the favorites and is my favorite team right now,

294
00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:29,440
all the way back in January. But saying this now,

295
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,759
I think BYU's got as good a shot as anybody

296
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:34,120
to get back to the Big Twelve championship and ultimately

297
00:13:34,159 --> 00:13:34,919
win the Big Twelve.

298
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 9: They lost their defensive coordinator, j Hill, but just about

299
00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:41,159
everybody else is back. Kelly Papeinga, who will now be

300
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,440
their defensive coordinator, went on BYU TV recently and talked

301
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,960
about the player led effort. They're bringing everybody back.

302
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 10: Offensive player of the Year LJ.

303
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,519
Speaker 9: Martin is back, a ton of guys on the defensive

304
00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:53,480
side of the ball. They are fired up about who

305
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:55,399
they have back, and there's a good reason for people

306
00:13:55,399 --> 00:13:57,559
to believe that they could very well be at the

307
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,600
top of the conference in twenty twenty six.

308
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: It's the Big twelve Studios preview, Ronald the three man Weaver,

309
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,480
your thoughts, your follow up, your commentary.

310
00:14:06,519 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 8: Look, I'm gonna go back to something that Parker said.

311
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:10,159
We played the sound clip earlier in the week. I

312
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,120
believe we played it on Monday. Ben, the donors out there,

313
00:14:14,159 --> 00:14:16,840
I just want to say, you guys are one of

314
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:18,679
the big, many reasons of why some of these players

315
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,240
stayed out all the way. But look, I know people

316
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,159
are gonna say culture, Ron You're wrong, But Ben, I look,

317
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,919
you know there's Ben. When you work hard and you

318
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,639
know you want to get your market rate and you

319
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,919
performed that you've been doing well, and you've been with

320
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:34,240
the university a minute, and you have stuff to back

321
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:36,279
it up, you have to be compensated, right, We all

322
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440
have to be compensated. You tell me that people have

323
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,240
to be compensated for how hard they work. You know,

324
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,799
you can't lose certain people. You know, I'm comparing that

325
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,360
to work the position that I'm like you have to

326
00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:47,320
That's the way it is. So I think that is

327
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,000
giving overlooked and ignored because you don't retain normally been

328
00:14:51,039 --> 00:14:53,240
that many dudes, and just to watch it come out

329
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,399
one by one on social media to get those guys resigned,

330
00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:58,080
because that's what it is, it's a resigned era in

331
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,879
college football. I just I got to give them credit,

332
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,960
the donors to be able to do that because normally

333
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,759
been you lose one or two people, and they did

334
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,799
lose other pieces, but those are guys that were coming

335
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,879
off injuries or guys that didn't play. That's pretty much

336
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:12,759
what it is like, are going to renite with family.

337
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,759
This does not happen in college full normally to retain

338
00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:19,840
this much talent, and I see why people are picking them.

339
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,679
Maviro shot when you if you go look at the

340
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,320
video online bank, because you have to look at it.

341
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,080
The notable games that they put were Utah Arizona at

342
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,960
home and then Baylor obviously coming here because of DJ

343
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:31,919
Lagway and you know Sarah Robinson all that. Anyway, the

344
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,679
point is when you look at the first part of

345
00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:36,639
the graft, they only highlighted Utah Notre Dame. So if

346
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:38,559
you outside of those two games because of the rivalry

347
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,320
game and how that one's different been always let's go

348
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,120
and take the under as you tell me, and then

349
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,840
Notre Dame. You're talking about potentially an undefeated season and

350
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,679
only meeting Texas Tech. Once reminder, they don't have to

351
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:50,720
see Texas Tech. They don't have to see a Kansas

352
00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:52,679
that like, they don't have to see those those teams.

353
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,879
They don't have to see Oklahoma State who just revamped.

354
00:15:55,159 --> 00:15:57,320
They avoid all of that. You know, in this schedule

355
00:15:57,399 --> 00:15:59,679
very favorable. You said, it's seven home games, you meet

356
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,840
ts you in the middle, the Big twelve did him

357
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:03,120
a favor.

358
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:04,639
Speaker 7: I'm gonna be honest. You you have to think and

359
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,879
this I know Brett Ormarck.

360
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 8: Was getting ripped a little bit by one of our

361
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,320
earlier guests a couple of weeks ago, and I was

362
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,679
disappointed too, and Brett you Ormark and is him advocating.

363
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:15,200
But the schedule that they've set BYU up for has

364
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,120
a lot of success. And with what Klanie's culture is, Ben,

365
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:20,000
they got a really good shot to run this thing,

366
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:23,320
you know, to be undefeated, you know, and meet whoever

367
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,919
it is in the title game and get to the

368
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,799
college football playoffs. And I'll say this, if this is

369
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,440
a team that knocks off Notre Dame, that beats Utah,

370
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:32,600
and that looks, you know, very declarative with the sophomore quarterback,

371
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,039
with the full spring ball and everything that they've loaded

372
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,759
up on the offensive side of the ball, and LJ.

373
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,240
Martin's breaking that Russian record. Even if they lose in

374
00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:41,600
the title game, Ben, this team would be a college

375
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,120
football playoff team. BAU has got a real shot and

376
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:46,960
I'm interested to see what Klanie does. We're gonna be

377
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,919
all eyes on. And that's why Springball in the next

378
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,879
couple of weeks is crazy to think that, Ben, And

379
00:16:51,919 --> 00:16:53,799
then just you know, a month, month and a half

380
00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:55,759
or so, they'll be back at it. But a lot

381
00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:58,240
of names that they've added, a lot of returning production

382
00:16:58,519 --> 00:16:59,960
and it all starts back up in March.

383
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: Love the breakdown, guys.

499
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:30,279
at the Utah Jazz game this week, And you wonder, right,

500
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:35,880
I mean, we talk about Tank Lake City and the

501
00:22:36,039 --> 00:22:43,480
Jazz possibly maybe hopefully getting AJ to Bonsa in the draft.

502
00:22:43,839 --> 00:22:47,079
How great would that be? How glorious would that be?

503
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:52,279
They're what, they're almost last place in the Western Conference.

504
00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:54,480
They're not last place. I think there maybe third to last.

505
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,640
And you just wonder, is there something that has brought

506
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,240
AJ to Bonsa all the way from the East Coast

507
00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:09,279
out to Utah Prep, Hurricane Utah where he probably got

508
00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:12,880
paid a pretty penny to put ball out there, played well,

509
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:19,240
he ended up at BYU. Is there a possibility a pathway, somehow,

510
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,480
some way AJ to Bonsa ends up going to the

511
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:26,720
Utah Jazz in the twenty twenty six NBA Draft.

512
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: Come this summer, Ronald.

513
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: Do you think it could happen? Do you think it

514
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:36,079
will happen? I see AA, I see Aj at the games.

515
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,599
I see the interactions, right, you know the connectivity between

516
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,079
Ryan Smith and Danny and all these key players. I

517
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,680
beg you know me, I was in the conspiracy theories

518
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,640
is twenty twenty. We've seen a lot of NBA Draft

519
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:56,920
conspiracy theories. Could this one be true? Could Aj be

520
00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:01,599
a talent that ends up in Salt Lake City for

521
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,279
the long run?

522
00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely.

523
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,079
Speaker 8: I mean I know if you look at this Beacher's

524
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,119
Report article, then they have a Utah picking six and

525
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,279
taking mckel brown junior at Louis who was having a

526
00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:12,440
great season. But no, if they have the number one

527
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,160
overall pick, I think they pick Aj. Yeah, one hundred percent,

528
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:15,880
not even close.

529
00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:19,079
Speaker 2: I think, Well, the question is AJ actually gonna be

530
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,119
the number one overall pick?

531
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 8: Well, if Utah, I think Utah takes Aj. If they

532
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,119
have the number one overall pick, yes, I do. I

533
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,799
think they do. I don't think they take Cam because look,

534
00:24:27,839 --> 00:24:29,400
I mean, we've had this report and we said it,

535
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,160
and we've gone back and forth with the Beat writers

536
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,599
locally and talk to you know, maybe not as maybe

537
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:36,000
get more national basketball guys to ask and they might

538
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:38,079
not be as overly declarative, but we need to get

539
00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:40,440
scouts on when we get around that time, Ben in

540
00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:43,279
March and April. But we heard this last year, Remember

541
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:44,880
we heard this with Yegor how many times did they

542
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,920
say top ten but he was ranked outside the top

543
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,599
like we heard that, we heard yeah, he can go

544
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,759
anywhere between seven to ten. You know, he could drop,

545
00:24:53,799 --> 00:24:55,720
but probably not. Like That's why I like to get

546
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,119
the experts on. So if the Jazz did, I feel

547
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,400
like they would. I feel like they would take AJ

548
00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:02,400
over Darren Peterson. They've seen him play, He's already been there.

549
00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:04,680
They know what they're doing. And Kevin Young spoke about this,

550
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,839
you know, in the post game last year or maybe

551
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,440
even in his introductory press conference, where what do you

552
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,559
mean we're not picking a guy?

553
00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: What like?

554
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 7: What do you like a whole? Like we don't really know?

555
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 8: And that the reason why I bring it up is

556
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:16,559
how many times do people say, oh, yeg or I

557
00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:19,160
don't know this that we've heard all the narrative and

558
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,880
then he was picked top eight Like That's what I'm

559
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,480
saying is AJ can still be the number one pick

560
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:26,319
even with the losses. So if the Jazz have to pick,

561
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,079
I think they do take him. Do I think it

562
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,240
will happen? No, Because look, a player like AJ. That's

563
00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:33,279
why the Jazz are projected to pick six, like the

564
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,319
Jazz are supposed to have a top three pick last year,

565
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,079
Ben and then Cooper Flag ends.

566
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 7: Up in Dallas.

567
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: Like, well, that's what I'm saying, that.

568
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 8: He's not gonna be Yeah, but that's the thing to

569
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,000
your potensier, your question directly, could it happen?

570
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: Sure?

571
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:46,279
Speaker 7: Will it happen?

572
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 6: No?

573
00:25:46,519 --> 00:25:48,519
Speaker 8: They do these lotteries in the back as sketchy as

574
00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:51,319
it is. I see AJ not not in the projections

575
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,480
of Indiana. No, Like AJ would be in playing in

576
00:25:54,519 --> 00:25:57,440
Atlanta first before anything, he'd be playing in Miami, like

577
00:25:57,759 --> 00:25:59,160
there's a bunch of other cities.

578
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,799
Speaker 3: Don't be don't be surprised, Ronnie.

579
00:26:02,079 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: If Darren Peterson goes first overall, which there's been a

580
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,000
trend right now, has been any analyst of value and

581
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:12,880
Darren Peterson say he's gonna go first overall. Somehow, some way,

582
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,119
Utah gets either the number two or it could be

583
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,920
the number three overall pick, and somehow AJ debotsa.

584
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna fallow the number three. He's

585
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,319
probably gonna be a number two.

586
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: Jazz could be the get that second pick, and guess

587
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,480
what they get Aj. They get their guy, They get

588
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,000
their guy, and he's in Salt Lake City.

589
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 3: All I'm saying is I'm just saying.

590
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: Recently, Bleacher Report put out their NBA mock draft, Hawks

591
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:39,359
take Darren Peterson and then AJ ends up going to

592
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,359
the Wizards at number three. I do think there's a

593
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,319
bit of a growing trend putting placing Darren Peterson at

594
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,559
number one and AJ at number two. Bleacher Reports saying

595
00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:53,039
AJ could fall to number three see TBD. Obviously, still

596
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:54,640
a lot of ball to play and a lot of

597
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,000
eval to be had and a combine to be ultimately evaluated,

598
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:03,240
and based off of, you know, the the freakish nature

599
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,039
of AJ, he could end up going number one overall.

600
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,079
But all I'm saying is, don't be surprised if AJ

601
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,400
loves the state of Utah.

602
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,559
Speaker 3: And stays in the state of Utah.

603
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 2: Definitely due to the puppeteering of the the U the

604
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:21,400
NBA world.

605
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,559
Speaker 8: Okay, he's not a number three, number three pick though, No, no, no.

606
00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:27,279
Speaker 3: I like number two, number two, number two pick, number

607
00:27:27,319 --> 00:27:27,680
two pick.

608
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 8: And I'm not trying to be rudy Cam Boozer. I

609
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,079
like Cameron Booster's game a lot, But if he's gonna

610
00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:34,759
go to the Pacers, been Boozer doesn't feel well. I

611
00:27:34,759 --> 00:27:36,640
think with Tyre's Halliburton. I think the guy that fits

612
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,279
better with Tyre's Halliburton is AJ, who can guard one

613
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,359
through five and who can also be a point forward.

614
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,799
But that'd be a nice matchup him, right, Rick Carla,

615
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,279
I love to see that if that were the case too,

616
00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:46,279
if they got the second pick.

617
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Look, if there's smoke, that could be some fires.

618
00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:54,880
I'm saying the smoke, I'm just I just see it.

619
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,200
I feel it in mylloin's in my plums. All right,

620
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,400
let's talk some by U basketball well out here for

621
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:04,319
a moment, Frank Fracilla joined the BYU Sports Nation to

622
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,240
talk to UH BYU who and AJ to Bonsa and

623
00:28:09,319 --> 00:28:11,240
I wanted to read between the lines a little bit

624
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:15,240
of his thoughts on what happened, how it happened versus

625
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,880
Texas Tech, and much more. As we continue to win

626
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,680
our way through this college basketball season and college basketball.

627
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 3: Schedule, Let's start off with this one.

628
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: The Marriott Center gonna be electric this next Monday. BYU

629
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,680
is taking on you of a a massive matchup in Provo. Actually,

630
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,359
my brother's in town to watch this game. He's gonna

631
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,119
be coming in on Thursday's a U of a fan

632
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,200
he's gonna get some skiing in and watch this game

633
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:40,960
here in Provo.

634
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: Let's get to it.

635
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,119
Speaker 2: Frank Fracchilla breaking down and previewing the bau A Z matchup.

636
00:28:46,079 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 5: Oh man, I.

637
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 12: Thought maybe you'd say one of those new Mexico BYU games, but.

638
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,039
Speaker 5: No, No, it's gonna be fun. You know, I'm excited.

639
00:28:58,119 --> 00:29:00,599
Speaker 12: You know, I get to do every big Monday this year,

640
00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:03,839
and this is the first one after the college football Championship,

641
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,559
and uh, I can't wait.

642
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 5: You know, I've always had an affinity.

643
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 12: For the Marriott Center and the fans there. They weren't

644
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,359
too bad to me, as I recall, I don't I

645
00:29:13,359 --> 00:29:18,839
don't remember anything, you know, egregiously bad about Kook fans

646
00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:21,079
when I coach. But uh, and I do and I

647
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:23,599
do love. I do love the whole atmosphere there. It's

648
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,640
just such an incredible environment. No, I think it's gonna

649
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,519
be unbelievable, you know. Uh, And I got to tell

650
00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:31,359
you now, this is where the big guys up front

651
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,000
are going to really matter, because Arizona is old school.

652
00:29:35,079 --> 00:29:39,599
They are old school bullyball. Inside. They don't shoot a

653
00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:41,839
lot of threes, even though they're not a bad shooting team.

654
00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:44,559
They just pound you inside. It's like having a great

655
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,559
running game. And of course you know everybody in the

656
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,559
Marriott Center is going to be jack for this and

657
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,519
it should be a great college basketball atmosphere.

658
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 5: You know, one of the best of the h of

659
00:29:57,519 --> 00:29:58,039
the season.

660
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 3: Arn, there you go, that's Frankfurt. So the game obviously

661
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:04,400
a massive game.

662
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,759
Speaker 2: Look, gotta win your home games, which the top top teams.

663
00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:12,000
This one would be a massive win for the Cougars,

664
00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:14,920
the best win of the season. U of A is

665
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:20,079
one of the best teams in college basketball, and this

666
00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:22,799
one hit hits close to home. Man, you hope that

667
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:25,720
this is a budding rivory asy U of A. The

668
00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:30,200
Wildcats are undefeated right now. They're number two in ken Pom.

669
00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:34,000
They have the sixth best offensive rating per ken Palm

670
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,720
and fourth best defensive rating per kN Pom. You gotta

671
00:30:37,759 --> 00:30:42,160
beat the freaking Wildcats. Let's make it right. Let's atone

672
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,319
for our Texas Tech sins. Let's make sure that we

673
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,400
dominate the Wildcats of Tucson.

674
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,039
Speaker 3: Please happen.

675
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: Please Hopefully You're gonna need a lead post defense in

676
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:56,480
order to do it. NBA does have some good defense

677
00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:01,119
in the post right now, with Keba Abdullah a vdo uh.

678
00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:05,279
Hadeem Boop is also really improved his defensive efforts and

679
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:08,440
divas he made. Hadeem is a Now he can guard

680
00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:11,119
on the perimeter extremely well. He can guard on the pace,

681
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,319
can guard on the perimeter. I was impressed. He's finding

682
00:31:14,359 --> 00:31:16,279
a swagger, he's finding a confidence.

683
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,039
Speaker 3: We're starting to see this.

684
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: Uh, this butting, uh, this beautiful butting of the beautiful

685
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:23,799
flower Hadeem Boop.

686
00:31:24,279 --> 00:31:26,279
Speaker 3: So uh, let's get back to the sound.

687
00:31:26,279 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: Franfrad Scilla discussing by U's elite post defense earlier this

688
00:31:31,519 --> 00:31:32,680
week on Buy Sports Nation.

689
00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 12: I'll tell you what's gonna help BYU in retrospect. I

690
00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:40,240
was impressed. I know Abdullah was in foul trouble, but

691
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,200
when you take him and and Cada, that's that's rim

692
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,240
presence defensively. I think that's gonna be a factor in

693
00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:50,480
the last month of the season as Abdullah gets going

694
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:53,000
a little bit. And then you got Boop, who I

695
00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:55,599
love and I don't any report on him after the

696
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:00,440
game was ill. Okay, that looked like potential can cussion

697
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,119
protocol to me.

698
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 5: I hope he's okay to recovery.

699
00:32:03,599 --> 00:32:04,319
Speaker 10: Still waiting to hear you.

700
00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:06,359
Speaker 3: Luckily there's no midweekend.

701
00:32:08,119 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 5: Right, But I love those three guys inside.

702
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,039
Speaker 12: I think they're gonna really anchor a defense that's going

703
00:32:13,079 --> 00:32:15,640
to get better because of those guys. So, you know,

704
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,599
I think I think there's a lot of positives that

705
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,119
come out.

706
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 5: Of this game for for BYU.

707
00:32:20,359 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 12: And the other thing is like, you gotta have a

708
00:32:22,279 --> 00:32:24,759
you gotta have a I always said as a coach,

709
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,000
one game winning streak.

710
00:32:26,559 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 5: That's all I always talk my team about.

711
00:32:28,319 --> 00:32:31,839
Speaker 12: If we beat somebody really good, then the next game,

712
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,039
it was, let's start a one.

713
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 5: Game winning streak.

714
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,599
Speaker 12: And I think Kevin, I know, has the mentality of

715
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,240
let's put this behind us, let's learn from what we

716
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:40,160
could have done better.

717
00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what's gonna help you.

718
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,119
Speaker 2: There you go, Bess Frank for Schill of breaking down

719
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,680
the elite post defense, and look, that's what we're gonna need,

720
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:51,559
uh in these big time games. There's no doubt about it,

721
00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:56,680
your elite defense. Shots being contested. Texas Tech win in

722
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:03,079
Fuego in that final five minutes, like they were like

723
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,640
NBA jab he's on five, everybody was and so like

724
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:09,559
was the shots selection pure?

725
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 3: Was it judicious?

726
00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:13,839
Speaker 2: Was it these were good shots that Texas Tech was getting.

727
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:14,759
Speaker 3: Were they wide open?

728
00:33:15,079 --> 00:33:16,759
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think though they were just hitting right

729
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:21,240
they got it's a home court advantage, yeah, one hundred percent.

730
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:23,960
They hit him when it counted, when they were contested.

731
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:29,559
So I've been impressed with Bo's defense. And it was

732
00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:33,119
the offense that maybe waned in the last nine minutes,

733
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,559
and it was unfortunate. But they'll get it right. They'll

734
00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:38,960
get it tight, keeping it right, keeping it tight, no doubt. Okay,

735
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,960
So Frankfurt show final thing here. One of the things

736
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,039
we've discussed with k Wise. He loves his spacing, love

737
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,319
spreading the floor. And why we've been so ardently just

738
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,000
advocating from a high low bucket Fitch to finally find

739
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,279
a way to please, for the love of all that's hardy,

740
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,000
hit a shot, you know, play great defense, Yes, be cognizant,

741
00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:01,279
have some peripheral vision.

742
00:34:01,319 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: For the love of all that's holly understill.

743
00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:06,839
Speaker 2: Traveled, you know, I don't travel, you know, just just

744
00:34:06,839 --> 00:34:10,079
just calm the freak down and hit a bucket and

745
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:12,880
space the floor. This is what Franfreschilla says about the

746
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,039
adjustments that b what he needs to make especially as

747
00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:17,239
it pertains to transition buckets and spread on the floor.

748
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:19,199
Speaker 5: Well, it's a good question.

749
00:34:19,599 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 12: Obviously, I don't think Rob Wright has the big game

750
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,880
he does without the fact that everybody was headed.

751
00:34:24,599 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 5: The attention to AJ. I would say, a few.

752
00:34:27,519 --> 00:34:30,519
Speaker 12: Things get out in transition, you know, because he's so

753
00:34:30,599 --> 00:34:33,639
good at ripping, running, rebounding and going. So that would

754
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:37,320
be one way for me, you know, and Kevin, I know,

755
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,719
is going to be able to spread the floor a

756
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:44,079
little bit more. Put Richie on AJ side, maybe a

757
00:34:44,119 --> 00:34:46,480
little bit more so that you can't double off him.

758
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,960
But again, like I didn't think AJ had a bad game,

759
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,760
I just think that he didn't force the issue because

760
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,400
and again in the middle of the second half, nobody

761
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,679
really should have touched the ball except for Rob those

762
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,440
six or seven possessions because he was on fire, and

763
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,000
then Richie got going a little bit late. But it

764
00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:05,840
was just one of those games where I think AJ

765
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,800
didn't want to force it.

766
00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:08,599
Speaker 5: His teammates were doing a good.

767
00:35:08,519 --> 00:35:11,039
Speaker 12: Job, and I'm sure next game he may be a

768
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:13,559
little bit more aggressive, but not at the expense of

769
00:35:13,639 --> 00:35:14,960
hurting his team with tough shot.

770
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,519
Speaker 2: Okay, Agreer disagree with Frand there, Ronald three man, we

771
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,159
nobody should have been touching the ball might except for

772
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,239
Rob right the third of those finals, six or seven

773
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:23,880
minutes of the game.

774
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,599
Speaker 8: Okay, so let's go back Ben, because I'm good at math, right,

775
00:35:26,679 --> 00:35:28,440
you know when I watch tape, that's what you tell me.

776
00:35:28,519 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 7: Go back and look, do your homework.

777
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,639
Speaker 8: So AJ went in, deferred, went in, got blocked, and

778
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:35,800
then missed a shot.

779
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 7: Okay, oh three, there you go.

780
00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 3: Okay.

781
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 8: Richie came off a screen to pin down after a timeout,

782
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,239
missed it badly, air balled another one, then missed another one.

783
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,119
Speaker 7: Okay, cool, there you go. So six right there.

784
00:35:46,159 --> 00:35:49,039
Speaker 8: So in the six seven possessions, I just counted Richie

785
00:35:49,039 --> 00:35:52,079
missing three, and then I counted Ah missing three with

786
00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:54,000
a turnover in there and maybe a couple of fouls.

787
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,360
I didn't think look at the fouls. But no, I agree.

788
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,519
No one else should have touched the ball but Rob.

789
00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:00,800
I know Rob was forcing issue, But the reason why

790
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:02,719
it looked bad was because Rob had to come out

791
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,559
for the pinky. And then when he comes in and

792
00:36:04,599 --> 00:36:06,639
you're trying to go your next option of Richie AJ,

793
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,199
and that gets shut down. Texas Tech was just clamped

794
00:36:09,199 --> 00:36:10,719
down on the paint and they were just moving their

795
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,679
feet and they were throwing everything off the weak side

796
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,000
the strong side, and when you're going, they were just going.

797
00:36:16,039 --> 00:36:17,880
They didn't bite on anything to be what you didn't.

798
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,440
And I'm interested to know, Ben, I want to know

799
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,039
if Rob doesn't disokay the pinky and come out, what

800
00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:22,880
would that have looked like?

801
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 7: Maybe they're still going to run, But I'm interested to know.

802
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 8: But all I know is this though for sure, and

803
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:29,880
this is on another podcast, I should have grabbed the clip.

804
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,519
But this is where Dawson Baker would have helped you.

805
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,360
This is where shooting forty eight forty eight percent from

806
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,519
forty seven to forty eight percent from the field, a

807
00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:40,199
hot clip from the three would have helped BYU because

808
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,039
it would have slowed that down. Because if Rob comes

809
00:36:42,039 --> 00:36:43,960
out the game, Dawson comes in there. Maybe Dawson's in

810
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,079
to begin with. So you are gonna have to now

811
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:48,679
think about the freak things if somebody gets in foul

812
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,440
trouble or if somebody does have a disocated hand, because in

813
00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:53,440
moments like that, you can't afford for your best player.

814
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,800
Because think about Texas Tech. Did JT come off the floor,

815
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,960
did wats come off the floor? Did Anderson come off

816
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:58,280
the floor?

817
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 6: No?

818
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 8: And maybe if it was reversed to thing could have happened.

819
00:37:01,199 --> 00:37:03,880
But you can't afford in those tight games and those

820
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,000
big moments against talented teams of Big three versus Big three.

821
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,519
Can't afford to lose somebody an ideal moment that wasn't

822
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:11,280
because rob wasn't supposed to be subbed out.

823
00:37:11,519 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 7: Get subbed out.

824
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,199
Speaker 8: And like I said, this is basketball, man, it takes

825
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,280
ninety seconds for you go on eleven ozer run.

826
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 7: And that's exactly what Texas Tech did. Give them a

827
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:18,880
lot of credit.

828
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 8: But the best part, like Franz said in the earlier part,

829
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,239
then it really doesn't matter. You know, why play number

830
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,039
one Arizona on Monday. Everyone's looking past Utah. I hate

831
00:37:28,039 --> 00:37:30,559
to say that, but that's just the truth. That game

832
00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:33,280
you get that. Are you really gonna remember the Texas

833
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,320
Tech loss? No, because you're gonna hand the number one

834
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,679
team in the country their first loss. You're not gonna

835
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,440
remember it. And then you go play Kansa and you'll

836
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,800
have to back it up with a win. But next week, Okay,

837
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,719
I don't want to be hyperbole, and you might because

838
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,360
you called me out for it, and it might be so,

839
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,199
But next week I think is the most important week

840
00:37:49,199 --> 00:37:50,239
can be or you basketball.

841
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 7: I'm serious, I'm serious.

842
00:37:53,199 --> 00:37:54,679
Speaker 8: I knew you were gonna laugh at me when I

843
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,079
say I knew you.

844
00:37:56,079 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 2: You know you guys want to remember Ronald is prone

845
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,480
to hyperbole. I approached some of the tends to go

846
00:38:01,519 --> 00:38:02,920
from zero at one hundred and fifty.

847
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,079
Speaker 8: But it might but for this team though, this season,

848
00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:09,480
this team, not not for the program, but for this team,

849
00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:11,639
because you play number one Arizona, and then you have

850
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,599
the whole narrative of the number one pick being Darren Peterson,

851
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,000
like it's next week not one of the most important weeks,

852
00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:19,599
if not the most important in the season. I mean, yeah,

853
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:21,599
I know Elite eight could come Final four, but I'm

854
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:23,960
seriously for the conference like that is you play number

855
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:24,480
one Arizona.

856
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:28,079
Speaker 2: But I love you and I love you, I love you.

857
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,679
I mean, it definitely is. It is a big tract.

858
00:38:31,679 --> 00:38:32,679
I mean, you can make the argument.

859
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 7: I can make the argument with this, and I couldn't

860
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:35,960
make it with the number one.

861
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 3: No, you know what I mean.

862
00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 2: You know most people are gonna say it's a tournament

863
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,119
time riot is when the rubber meets the road and

864
00:38:42,159 --> 00:38:46,079
the most pivotal, the most the most important times in

865
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:49,199
BAU basketball history. But you can make an argument this

866
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:55,920
stretch this godlet this provides the opportunity for seating, seating

867
00:38:56,159 --> 00:39:02,119
that could elicit could influence the path to a final four.

868
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,320
So I'm willing to hear that, there's no doubt about it,

869
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:11,079
like we need proper, tried and true seating that can

870
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:13,519
provide that path to the final four if if you're

871
00:39:13,519 --> 00:39:15,000
really trying to get that monkey off your back.

872
00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 3: And and to your.

873
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,199
Speaker 2: Point about Dawson Baker, I agreed that Dawson the bucket

874
00:39:18,199 --> 00:39:20,800
getter Baker. Remember he was hitting from the three point

875
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,599
line in those four games forty two point nine percent.

876
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,599
The other guy that everyone's forgetting about, though, and he

877
00:39:26,679 --> 00:39:29,480
shot forty percent from the three point line last year

878
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,840
for you know, as you know before transferring to.

879
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 3: To be why you was Nate Pickens. That was a

880
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:37,039
big loss.

881
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 7: Both of those those hurt. That's why both sunk.

882
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:44,639
Speaker 3: Pickens. Bro Man, how dare you get injured Nate? How

883
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,239
dare you get injured Dawson? This is ridiculous.

884
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 8: It's not them, I think it's I think it's just

885
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,920
the floors don't like them, you know, I think that.

886
00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I don't know.

887
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 7: I don't think.

888
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, is it? Is it the b yu I

889
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:57,159
get a little.

890
00:39:57,199 --> 00:39:59,119
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm a conspiracy theorist now and then

891
00:39:59,119 --> 00:40:03,960
I'm very stish, not superciitial, but I'm verstitious and destitious

892
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:07,039
nature in me says, just when Byu is about to

893
00:40:07,079 --> 00:40:12,440
do something great, you know, something bad happens.

894
00:40:12,039 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

895
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,199
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, the the conspiracy there like by

896
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,440
you even in football, it's like we're right there knocking

897
00:40:19,519 --> 00:40:22,199
on the door COVID. We're gonna be in the college

898
00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:25,679
football playoffs and all those things, right.

899
00:40:25,079 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 3: And then you lot the corse of car a lot

900
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:27,960
of my yard, you know, and.

901
00:40:28,039 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 7: James Bear gets rolled up on first place.

902
00:40:30,599 --> 00:40:31,159
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

903
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, you know you live in dream,

904
00:40:35,159 --> 00:40:38,639
you know you're undefeated, and wham you get beat by

905
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,320
Kansas on your home freaking field because you throw a

906
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,840
goal line fade to mataas I love matave, I love them,

907
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,519
but why are we throwing the fade the goal line

908
00:40:48,559 --> 00:40:54,199
fade to the boundary to matabatas Hey Jake goodness gracious, right,

all people, goodness, gracious meal. Uh, you know you throw

911
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,079
a pick on that last that last drive. It was unfortunate.

912
00:41:05,199 --> 00:41:06,199
Speaker 3: What was me? Right?

913
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:06,679
Speaker 5: Uh?

914
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:12,639
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five, you met Texas Tech, you got done,

915
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,840
You've muffed the punt like all was going well. You

916
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,719
poop the bed, you poop the bed at in Lubbock

917
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,039
and you you got injured.

918
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, and the you.

919
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,599
Speaker 2: Know, anyway football maybe not as drastic, but it does

920
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,119
seem that, you know, it's it's hard to have nice things.

921
00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:29,760
If you're a B Way fans, you gotta be grateful,

922
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:33,840
all man. Gratitude. Attitude is gratitude. We need that attitude

923
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,480
of gratitude, no doubt, no doubt about it. But hey man,

924
00:41:36,679 --> 00:41:38,920
there's a lot of things, right, a lot of things

925
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,239
that do occur, and I'm like, ah, can this be

926
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,760
the year? Can this be the year that you get

927
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,880
that monkey off your back? The NC double a most

928
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,639
n CUA a person without a final four run.

929
00:41:48,679 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 3: This could be the year.

930
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:54,199
Speaker 2: So to your point, very important stretch here, but it's

931
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,559
due to seating. We need good seating.

932
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,599
Speaker 3: To us. We need at worst of three, we'll go

933
