Weave on X. You can also follow my two co
hosts who I'm gonna introduce right now. You can follow
one of them at b Hammer Times Show and the
other one I forget because he adds a little to it,
but I'll let him introduce to it. Let's but let's
start with the guy. You can catch him every day Monday,
Wednesday Friday on the Believe Network. Former b YU sideline reporter.
He does it all. He's got plenty of content videos
on Instagram racking him up. He does everything related to
b YU. We got Brett always bringing the hammer. How
are you doing to day? Brother?
Speaker 3: I do I have a lot of titles in this life.
I did not think.
Speaker 1: TikToker, but TikTok of them.
Speaker 4: But somebody walked up to me at the grocery store
the other day, and let's say, I'm very grateful. He said, Hey,
you're the bo you guy from TikTok And I was like,
I don't know that I ever wanted to be a TikToker.
Speaker 1: But you know what life throke is surprises you.
Speaker 4: Just you don't get to choose the cards that you're
dealt Ronnie. You used to get to play with what
you got.
Speaker 2: You don't get to choose the cards. Indeed, sometimes actually
maybe even you do a little bit, but not always.
You have to take what's dell to you. You have
to maybe bluff in the Game of twenty one Texas
hold them. I'm not encouraging gamble and I'm just encouraged
car playing. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not gonna
get fine, You're not gonna get me suit here in
the state of Utah. No, but sometimes you do. Look,
you gotta have a positive outlook. My trainer told me
something on the mission. He would always do this to me, like, oh,
do wave you just stressed way too much? You ever
take everything? I'm like, yeah, you're right. He's like, if
there's a problem, can you fix it. Yes, Okay, Then
why I worry? Is there a problem? No, okay, you
can't fix it, then why I worry? I was like,
you know what, that's good advice. If I have the solution,
why am I worry? If I don't have the solution? Also,
why am I warring? So that's a good mindset of Look,
you can't you can't pick the cards, but you have
to play the game regardless. So appreciate Brett always bringing
the hammer b Hammer time show showing up. Let's welcome
in introduce now as well. He is all running back
here at ESPN the Fan. He's also our three point shooter.
Don't leave him open. I was watching the Steph Curry
USA basketball highlights earlier and just got chills. And this
guy gives you chills as well. We got Andrew Peterson
with us today. AP how you doing, brother.
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good.
Speaker 5: And if we're speaking about social media, here we go
my Twitter handle. Here's my little plug for my Twitter handle,
APD two two two. It's a p E t E
Y two two two. And I am that one media
member that does not hold back. I say things on
there I probably shouldn't as a media member.
Speaker 4: Would you qualify yourself as the Mark Harlan if oh boy, well.
Speaker 2: I.
Speaker 3: Don't.
Speaker 5: I don't think I do anything to deliberately embarrass the
university on the.
Speaker 1: Field, you know. I don't do any of that.
Speaker 2: Don't go to press conferences.
Speaker 5: But I will get into it, like, I will absolutely
say stuff that maybe some others would hold that opinion back.
Speaker 1: But I am a fan. I'll be straight up and honest.
Speaker 5: I am a diehard fan, and so sometimes I'll let
my emotions, you know, get up there. But I will
absolutely post what I really think on Twitter. I'm not
giving you any any pr stuff. It's me one hundred
percent every time on Twitter.
Speaker 2: This is definitely true. Andrew has some hot takes on
the X account and it's all him, no doubt about
it all. Sometimes I'm worried. I'm like, man, do I
have to text it? And you might you might have
to take that one down like a easy easy there man, easy.
But uh, look, and we all need a little bit
of fire in our life, no doubt about it as well.
Check out the rest of our ESPN the fans start
the lineup. Want to give it to you guys right here.
We're gonna get into the nitty gritty. In just a second,
we're gonna actually do something that we don't normally do
on the we haven't done excuse me, I haven't done
the show in a while. We're gonna be giving away
some free movie tickets. I'll tell you about that been
a little bit later in the show. Not gonna give
it to you right now, but we'll tell you a
little bit later. But at three oh five, gonna welcome
in Brandon Day, he's the CEO of Odon Menswear for
a little college football segment. At four h five, Gonna
welcome and Kate Nicks love him. Former BAU basketball great
Kevin Nixon will join us. I get an update of
the BYU men's basketball season, how it's gone thus far,
and preview that Utah game looked. I feel bad for
the Utes. I know you guys have said it as well.
I don't think it's gonna be thirty, but I definitely
think it's gonna be what it was last year. It's
gonna be I think a twenty point blowout BYU is
sat on that Texas second test, excuse me, Texas second
loss for a week, the Utes, I think you're in
trouble and look you got to get right because next
week I'm prone type probably at times, but next week
is is I think the most important week for bou
basketball in terms of seeding for the NCAA tournament. If
you lose and Ben said that yesterday, so I'm taking
a taken add and if you lose to Arizona at home,
I think that that that's gonna be a heartbreaker because
you can't follow up with a loss at Kansas. But
if you get both of those games next week, you
win three in a row, which is tough to do
in a big twelve and one on the road, you
beat Utah, you beat Arizona number one, the team that
hasn't lost yet, and then you beat Kansas. Everyone. That
gives you two Premier Quad one wins and one on
and one that honestly my chip, excuse me, AJ Debons's future,
get your thoughts on that. Brett and Andrew ten days
till it looked it sucks right because I'm looking at
social media. They're not even looking at BYU Arizona, and
we're not even talking about college game Day. They're already
advertising Kansas Boa, they're advertising AJ and Darren rightfully, so
I'm not saying that they shouldn't. But the game on
Monday is is important, and I don't think BYU will
overlook it. But to me, I feel like all eyes
are on that Kansas BYU game and not the Arizona
BYU games. That Kansas BYU next Saturday, guys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, until we start to question whether or not Darren
Peterson's gonna be there, because see, if I believe, rolled
his ankle the other day, so they're saying he could
be out for a few days. And to me, if
Darren Peterson's not playing in the game, man, that really
kills like the wow factor of that game. The one
thing I will say that helps uplift that game is
that since being in the Big twelve, BYU has had
Bill Self's number, Bill Self just can't seem to get
a win against BYUH. So I do think that still
makes the game really entertaining. But again, once again I
will I will put it on the Big twelve and
say if if, if Darren Peterson doesn't play in this
game and we all don't get to watch number one
overall pick versus projected number one overall pick, depending on
which mock draft you're looking at, Big twelve man, shame
on you.
Speaker 3: This was the only matchup.
Speaker 4: And I know that there's a matrix that goes into
this and it's not necessarily easy and you can't just
fix it in the moment. But man, they really missed
not having these two guys competing for the number one
overall pick. If Darren Peterson doesn't play in this game,
that will be a big whiff on the part of
the Big Twelve.
Speaker 5: I'll say this on that note, if Darren Peterson does
not play in this game, you cannot take him number
one overall in the draft because Darren Peterson it and
I say this regardless of how good he is.
Speaker 1: I think he's a great player.
Speaker 5: But if you're an injury prone player in college, that's
not likely going to get better in the NBA. And
so oh, I don't know, man, I don't, I don't.
I would take Cam Boozer over Darren Peterson right now
because Darren Peterson has been hurt so much and and
it's tough, but availability is a real trait, it really is.
Look at Zion Williamson. He was injured in college, he's
been injured in the pros and so it's tough to
for me it's tough to say Darren Peterson is a
better prospect than aj Debanza.
Speaker 1: But speaking of this Saturday, remember when.
Speaker 5: I told you that by you should beat Utah by
thirty a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, never ever making the take when ba he goes
to the Huntsman, at least to that's to the huntsman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that I was. I was not wrong.
I was just ahead of my time.
Speaker 5: Now is the time, b way, you should bet Utube
by Utah by thirty this week. They My analysis of
Utah is they have two plays, dom McHenry and and
Terrence Brown.
Speaker 1: And Terrence Brown.
Speaker 2: Can't wait to see him to be a uniform next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Terrence Brown, I think is one of those players who
you'll have to give me a second here to explain
this take is is not as good as he thinks
he is.
Speaker 1: But that makes him dangerous because.
Speaker 5: Those are the players, Those are the players that if
they get going, they have the confidence to stay really hot.
They get really streaky, and so if they get going
on you, they can burn you. But if they start
out slow, they're gonna keep shooting the ball and putting
up bricks. And so I think by you should run
Utah out of the Marriott Center.
Speaker 2: I'll ask a couple of questions and I'll have Brett
put him out because he's our due to content creator
here at ESP and the fan how I'm what's your
prediction of you know? And I know we'll do a
score prediction later, but like, what's your prediction? Do you
need to see? I guess as he If there's your question,
do you need to see Bou basketball beat Utah by
twenty after that Texas Tech loss? Do you need to
see that? You know? Do you need to feel validated
with that? Because I think a close ball game BAU
fans won't feel validated. I don't think the fans will
be like, Yep, I feel good coming out of that, Yep,
one hundred percent. Ron Nope, I'm gonna get text messages.
I'm gonna have people talking to me at church if
Bou doesn't beat Utah by twenty on Saturday. I already
know when I walk in on Sunday, and I always
decided to get there right on time for five minutes late. Yes,
have a hit. That doesn't terms it to do because
I don't I like to avoid these conversations. I don't
I go to church to pray. I don't go to
talk to you about about BYU stuff. I'm not on
the clock. Ben won't let me clock in. We've talked
about that, you know, trust me. I try to follow
Ben and run out the door. I'm serious. I'm being
honest when I say that. But that they come up,
it's just all happen all It's like they just people
get upset. But you went by twenty Okay, good, then
you move on to Arizona. So but but to the
bigger point, going to your point, AP, and going back
to Brett's of Darren Peterson and J I do agree.
I said this to start off when the schedule got
released months last few months ago. The Big twelve is robbed.
I think college basketball fans of this premier matchup, and
I'm with you, AP, and I'm with Bred. If he
sits out this game, it's it's catastrophic. I'm serious. I
know that's a big word for Ron. He normally doesn't
use those, but it's a popcorn matchup that we want
to see. It's number one versus number two. I mean, look,
I don't want them to play the game hurt. I mean,
everybody plays hurt. But if he's subbing in and out,
is just I really want to see AJ and Darren
go at it. And I guess we'll ask that question too,
bred to put that out there, How disappointed will you
be as a fan if Darren Peterson does not play
in the BYU Kansas game? Because me, as a college
basketball fan and even as a media member, that's disappointing.
I know that's the game, but as a fan, I'm outraged,
But as a media member, it's disappointing because you want
to see greatness. Look, if Darren really is the number
one pick, I want to see him give it to
AJ if that's the point, to give it to BYU. Right,
because we're starting to have a conversation of is jt
Topping the best player in the Big twelve? Well, clearly
because he just beat YU, Right, he's gonna you know, play,
can't ley? So to me, I want to know who's
the best, Who is the best now, who's projected in
the draft? I don't care about that, see, because all
of that's gonna go with's NBA skills set, it's fit.
I don't I don't care about that. People want to
correlate them this is why he's better. No, I saw
JT Top and bus BYU's booty in the last like
you know, for the whole game, in the last five minutes.
I want to see who can emerge as that person
who gives it. We watch games, guys as fan as
media members, not for the b yu Utah game. We
watch moments for like this. We want to see guys
who call themselves him or those that call themselves the
best players are supposed to be these projected All NBA
guys in the future, these all star these guys that
are supposed to lead Team USA, as I've already mentioned,
I want to see how they perform in the high
pressure moments. So what I want to see.
Speaker 4: Here's my question, Ron, at what point does this start
to bug NBA scouts because maybe they're just willing to
overlook any and everything they are And I do understand
at some level, like you do have to look at
the fact that like these guys who are are making
the draft picks, they have to make a splash. They're
not going out there to draft a guy who's gonna
help them be five hundred and who's gonna be a
really high floor but low ceiling, like.
Speaker 3: They're going out to make a splash.
Speaker 4: So I do understand like they are drafting for upside,
and they want the highest upside because the highest upside
makes them look the best. But I also sit and
I say, do you want to be the guy who
drafted Anthony Davis? Like I think Anthony Davis is an
incredible basketball talent. He's one of the best players in
the world when he's healthy. And the problem is, like
we have all of these guys throughout sport, throughout BYU,
throughout the NBA, throughout the NFL, who, oh my gosh,
remember how good so and so was when they were healthy?
Speaker 3: And guess what.
Speaker 4: When you're a front office guy and you're going in
to interview with the president of the team and you say, well, look,
I drafted so and so and when he was healthy,
he was so good. You know what, they say, how
many championships we have because of that draft pick? And
if they answer is zero, then they look back at
you and they say, I'm.
Speaker 1: Sorry, you don't work here anymore.
Speaker 4: And so on the one hand, I do look at
Darren Peterson and I say, objectively, in a vacuum like
fate of the universe on the line, death Ray pointed
at Earth like I could see the argument for Darren Peterson. Yeah, again,
we're playing in a real world scenario and not space jam.
So I have to look and I have to say,
who's the person I can depend on to show up
and be actually on the basketball court tomorrow?
Speaker 1: And even when.
Speaker 4: AJ's sick, when he's like moving his shoulder, he's still
playing basketball. And it's not even it's this is not
like a shot at Darren Peterson. I think there are
just some human beings who happen to be more injury
prone than others, and that sucks. But this isn't a
feel good business. This is how do I draft somebody
who helps me make who makes me look really good,
helps me keep my job, helps me be GM someday
instead of just being a scout.
Speaker 3: And I just look at like we.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's been the running joke right in the
last few months in the Big twelve, Darren Peterson keeps
subbing himself out of games because he seems to be
having hamstring issues. Well then the other day he rolls
and turns his ankle and they said he won't be
one hundred percent for a while for a few days.
Speaker 3: We don't know when that will be.
Speaker 4: We don't know if he'll play in that BYU game,
And so I mean I already think like it's I
think it's probably gonna be Cam Boozer, just for a
couple of a number of reasons.
Speaker 1: Different debate for a different day.
Speaker 4: But I just don't know how Darren Peterson is in
the conversation any longer because he's always hurt. Like to me,
when the draft is this good and you have as
many guarantees as Boozer or Dai Bosa are, why would
you run the risk for Peterson when he is just
as good as the other two. But the other two
don't come with the caveat of injury issues. So I
guess my long witted question to Ron is like, at
what point does the injury bugs start playing a factor
in Darren Peterson's draft status?
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you don't play against Da Bonds the next Saturday,
that's where it starts. Look it as much as it look,
stay with me. I want everyone to still with me,
you guys and the people listening to Tony or that
have downloaded this episode. Darren Peterson is going to get
the benefited out because of his ability. He's earned that right.
He's worked hard. You're not going to pass on him
in the draft because that's your job. And if he
turns out well and does get healthy. You know, Pooka
had his fair share of injuries, but he's.
Speaker 4: Had him in the NFL like he like, Poka is
the exception.
Speaker 2: Pooka is the exception. You know, it's because he changes cleats.
To give credit to the Bnkriddel, you know, I'm now I
do examine of what the footwear is. I like shoes,
but I also like to see what are you wearing
on the football field. Anyway, I'll joke aside. The point is,
you know, I'm using it to my argument of that
Pooka even has still had his fair share the last
couple of seasons, he's he's not played a full season.
I'm pretty sure he's had He's been nicked in and
that's what happens, you know. So to the point is,
if you've been injured, I always say this, you've been
hurt once, You're probably like you guys have said, we'll
get hurt again. It's just the nature of the game.
Not being hurt and injured or two different things, But
I'm serious since the top fifteenth excuse me, top twenty
five matchup, you don't play that next Saturday, January thirty, first,
two pm, fran Fragilla, I think it's going to be
on that call. I know he's doing all the big money.
You don't do that, or Sean Farnham, are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me? I think that's where it starts.
And then right after that, you know they got back
to back top matchups. They played BYU at fog Gallen
and then they go on the road and they play
Texas Tech. If he does not play in both of
those games, that's crucial for his draft stock. You just
can't start saying, I think. I then to answer your question, Brett,
he can't miss b Why he can't miss AJ what
is it? Demanse? And then he can't miss JT topping.
I'm not going for that, not if I'm a scout,
not if I'm a player. And then a couple of
weeks after that, you played number one Arizona at the Crib,
the going the road to Iowa State over there, the
next six games one, two, three, four, five, six, you
play b YU Texas Tech Arizona, Iowa State. That's three
opponents in the top fifteen. Uh no, no, no, no,
you have to play in those games, period. That's just
the way it goes. Would jim or Mania be Jim
or Mania if he didn't play Kawhi? Leonardson how many
times does that get brought up? I played Gawhi? Leonard said, Oh, yeah,
you always be like that. All that has to be
the case. You beat ag and b Yu on your
home court. That that like that? You So he solidifies
himself as the number one overall pick now depending his health.
If he's checking himself and out of game, but he
plays that game and balls out fully healthy. Hell if
you even lock up aj if you're able to do
that and do something, he solidifies that. These are solidifying
games of your draft stock, your future. But like I said,
you're not gonna pass on him because if you do that,
you're gonna run into a world of trouble. You don't
want to take that chance because you'll lose your job
if it if it does turn out, Look, and it's
like with the Chicago Bears. Sometimes you got to get
the right coach in there. But look, sometimes it's a
player too. If the player is not playing well, you
just take the chance that you take him and then
you know, you move on from it. Someone who is
very dear in my life. You know who I see
when I go back home in the Aufstita in Chicago.
I love Djabbari. But the Milwaukeeucks should have been in
a lot of trouble if they didn't draft them. But
you know who they did also draft Gianna Santa Tookupo.
Sometimes is how it goes. It doesn't work out, that happens,
you know, same with Johnny mean but Zel, but you
don't you know, on the court, off the field, whatever.
You don't let them pass, whatever the reason is, because
they'll get you in the world of trouble. But the
people are quick to come off you the minute you
do get injured. Let's get to the rest of the
starting lineup. I got you guys on a tangent. That's
my fault because I talked about basketball. John Kurts will
join us at four thirty for a college football segment.
Handy and Handy Long will join us for our sports
court every Thursday at five or five, and then we're
going to close out the show. We have Blayne Anderson,
our financial advisor, certified financial planner here at ESP and
the fan and we're gonna be having me highlight Bukovich.
They're gonna join us at five point thirty to close
out the show. But without further ado, we've waited too long.
Let's get into the nitty gritty, always brought to you
by a Complete Circuit Electric Utah dot com. And gentlemen,
please present our dunces with that interpretation of the one
two one too. So anyways, let's get down to the
nitty gritty, always brought to you by Complete Circuit Electric
Utah dot com. If you are looking for the master
Electrician who is also a big B y U fan
who has twenty three plus years of experience, family owned
and operated, that's not gonna stop until you're one hundred
percent satisfied. That's a tough person to find till you
know you're really happy perfect, which is really hard to do.
Only one man was perfect. But this guy's gonna be
perfect with the job. He's gonna promise satisfaction guaranteed. He's
gonna meet your electrical needs one circuit at the time.
It's rust and tailored. The Master Electrician, I need you
to call him right now. Bust out the phone. You're
already on it. I know what your screen time is.
Don't play with me. It is bad. We talked about
it and in pre score a couple of weeks ago
to pull out that spring screen time of distractions. It
was up there for me, but that's because I work
off of my phone. But you need to go right
now and call them at eight zero one, four hundred
zero eight eight five. That's eight zero one, four hundred
zero eighty five complete circuit Electric Utah dot Com. All right,
we're gonna contee the conversation of basketball. A lot of
people probably thought we were in anitty gritty but we weren't.
That's my definitely my ADHD. Remember that we did not
do the red but got to keep the sponsors happy
or I lose my job discussing BAU basketball news here
because BAU takes on Utah on Saturday. I'll ask you
both the question and maybe we can get more into
it in our question of the day as well. What
do you guys need to see from BYU on Saturday?
They sat on this loss for a week. Remember the
last time they sat on this loss when they played
ukon they play Wisconsin. Do you guys remember what happened
in that game when they sat on a loss for
a week. It was granted it was a neutral site,
but probably Bo's backyard, a home game for them. They
put Bilt Tabooti to a specific opponent, which was a
quad one one. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it just killed Wisconsin, just absolutely killed them.
And that's exactly what you need. What I need to
see this Saturday. I need you to have control of
this game early on. Grab control. Make sure Utah knows
they do not belong on the same floor as you
show them the I know Utah love this term talent
gap that is on the floor, and assert yourselves as
one of the top teams in the conference and easily
the best team in the state. This should not be
a competition. BYU is hands down the more talented team.
They need to show that, especially on your home court.
Speaker 4: I honestly don't need to see BYU win by twenty plus. Okay,
that's not my number one thing obviously, to see it
and if it happens, awesome, you know what I'd rather
see Ron If the game has to be close, and
I guess this could happen in a twenty point win
as well. But like, I need to see somebody else
besides AJ, Robber Richie get you ten points and the
like in a semi point in a semi efficient way.
And honestly, I mean this is this is what I
want to see. I want to see the Canard Davis game.
That's what I want to see. Because Canard Davis, we've
talked about on this program, has not hit his stride
through Big Twelve play and certainly has not hit it
from the three point line. Now, let's give him a
little bit of credit because we know that he is
an elite defender and the RIM cannot take that away
from him.
Speaker 3: He's a great defender.
Speaker 4: I gotta see it on the other end, because I
think if Canard Davis shows up in that Texas Tech
game somewhere in that final nine minute stretch, I think
you has a really good shot at winning that game,
because then you can't just put your attention on AJ
Robin Ritchie, which is exactly what Utah is gonna do
and what everyone else in the Big Twelve is gonna
do until you show them somebody else can beat you,
and Texas Tech kind of gave you the game plan
of Hey, if you want to beat BYU, this is
how you do it.
Speaker 3: Just hammer AJ, Rob and Ritchie.
Speaker 4: Let one of them beat you, don't let the other two,
and nobody else on that bench is gonna be bringing
up the rearun Okay, cool, if that's what you think,
Canard Davis, Mihailo, somebody, Keba, somebody has got to show
up and show the rest of the Big twelve. We
are not just a three man show. We are a
full team. Despite the fact that injuries have hampered this team.
We have other guys who can show up and show
out and this is not just a one man show
for BYU, and I think they need somebody to step
up and show that against Utah, because my guess is
Utah is gonna want to do the exact same thing
that Texas Tech did, and the same exact thing they
did on their home court a couple of weeks ago,
saying we are going to force AJ to double deams,
We're gonna force him to kick out of it, make
somebody else beat us, and I really hope it can
be the Canard Davis show in order to do that.
Speaker 2: I like both of the points that you guys brought
up speaking of you know, being efficient and roster and
Cannard stepping up. Kevin Young said after that Wisconsin game,
I feel like everybody we brought here for a reason
was for that point. You know, in that game. He
said that in the post game, I was there. I
remember that being said, and this is the game, you know.
I agree with Brett. I think Canard needs to step
up in that way. We had this conversation with Darnown
Dickson yesterday. Though I am very intrigued to I think
it's not that Canard is. It's not just he's not
not being productive. He hasn't. I feel like fully bought
into his role where he's doing too much with the basketball.
The reason why I said this team miss mawet mag
and I wasn't trying to start any fiery things or
getting anyone upset. But I brought up because what knew
his role, but what said, I'm gonna take a three
when I'm open and when the ball comes to me.
But his first priority was a defense, not saying Canard
is not. Sometimes I feel like Canar when he needs
to give the ball up or do something else, it
feels like a hero moment of like, Hey, I'm gonna
go do this, and maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I don't
know what the set was, maybe he was supposed to,
But sometimes I feel there's a The threes that are
taken are a little bit one rushed, like the closed
out space has been talked about earlier this week in
the show, but also just forced two and it doesn't
need to be in look quite frank, when you look
at the numbers when you're er of six, that doesn't help.
If you could have hit three of those, if you
could have gone fifty percent of two of six, that
helps BYU And right now he has no choice. Alexi
Coaches is now nowhere to be found on the rotation.
He's buried at the end of the bench. And your
two best on ball defenders behind Rob and that could
have shot the ball or out for the season. You
don't have Nate, you don't have Dawson. So it falls
on Knard. Now it falls on me Hilow, who will
join us in the five thirty segment that Bukovitch. So
it's it's tough and I'm with I'm with Bread on
this and I'm also with you AP. I do need
to see twenty because it lets me know that when
the game gets out of hand, it's because you had
bench production, because I think in order and that Robin
Richie don't have to scraw all the points because you're
at home. And this is this is what bench play
and role players play better at home they do. Look
at the NBA playoffs, look at everything. That's just how
it goes. I remember playing rugby. The guys that maybe
came off the bench played way better when we played
on Southfield and a Healiman than when we travel. It's
just how it is. That's the nature of it. Don't
know why you're in your own backyard you feel uncomfortable. So, yeah,
this is the game. Hilow needs to probably hit five threes.
I'm gonna be honest, this is the game. Where as
t Bratt's point, Kunard needs to have his career high
and take over and maybe not career high, but have
his season high with BYU or his b YU Currey high. Right, Yeah,
that's the best way to say so, like, because if
he had a car Hi, I mean, he'd be really
taking a lot of shots and that's just not gonna
happen because he's not gonna take the ball anyway. The
point is just that those are the guys that have
to step up now. And look, I'm gonna take it
even a step further. I even think you need to
see Caba might have to start scoring more in double
figures fifteen. Maybe to get that you might maybe if
you want to say Ron, you're wrong with Caba. Look
be Doo might have to throw some more points in.
Maybe he might not just be the shot blocker. The
bench guys have to start performing where they have to give,
Like you're gonna need guys on the bench to give
at least six points.
Speaker 5: Well, so I have I have a take that's kind
of stolen from another podcast that I listened to. What
if the solution to Canard Davis is he has to
come off the bench?
Speaker 2: Okay, so who do you replace them with?
Speaker 1: I maybe throw Bosco in the starting lineup, or it's a.
Speaker 2: Tough matchup wise when you when you think of perimeter,
because it is Deem is not the that That's probably
where I.
Speaker 1: Was just thinking.
Speaker 5: Maybe offensively Bosco stretches the floor a little bit more
shooting right now.
Speaker 3: But but so.
Speaker 5: Here's here's where I'm going with this Jackson Robinson when
he was at b YU played much better coming off
the bench than he.
Speaker 1: Did as a starter. Absolutely, and I think I don't.
Speaker 5: I'm not arguing to take minutes away from Canard, just
change where the minutes are, who it's with, And.
Speaker 2: I think who is with personnel for me, maybe a
tough one that's tough.
Speaker 5: Make him the Jackson Robinson of this team. Bring him
in as a sixth man instead of throwing him in
there as the fifth wheel to your your four man
destruction where you've got the big three in Kiba. Make
him the sixth man who comes in, maybe comes in
with a kidney or with a with a mohilo and
in some kind of substitution pattern and and give him
a different role that way that might unlock some more
confidence and his ability to play within the system.
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not going to play anything past anybody. And
I'm pulling it up right now because I want to
make sure that I get it right, because I do
like the point that AP brings up. I don't want
to do it. I'm just saying, of who you do with?
Do we all remember do we all remember last year
when the when the switch occurred? Do we all remember
when be when Kevin game it was, it was the
Wyoming game where it happened. That's where this That's where
the site was first at. That's where he first saw.
The first site was the Wyoming game when reach went
out to concussion. That was December fourteenth of twenty twenty four.
But do you know what game officially the switch came
where you saw Cannon catchings go to the bench as
crazy and I'm bringing that name up. Do you guys remember?
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: It was a month afterwards Oklahoma State. It was January fourteenth,
So around this time last year, Kevin Young made a
switch to the starting lineup and mow what mag became
a start and Cannon came off the bench. Now Cannon
obviously because of other things. And this is this is
Ronald the three man we were speaking, So anyone listening
or that this will get back to a clip. I
don't want people to feel like Ben put me up
to this. These are my own words, and I stand
on this because of a piss poor attitude. I'm being serious,
being in and not working out and not thriving in
the role and being the team guy. He buried himself.
He did and what happened. BA went on and went
on a tremendous winning streak because they put Mowad into
Kevin Young made the best decision for the team. He
did what was the best for the team. Now, I
don't think Canard David Jurei is nowhere near that at all.
But it begs question of should you make a change
in the starting lineup, and if you did, I'm with
Brett on this. I don't know if I can go
with Bosco, but I like Kadem because Kevin Nick says
they're big. Put it. Put in Hadim and he can
play three through five. So we'll see. We don't know.
Maybe Knar just needs to shoot better and be in
a certain position. And look, this is us stuff that
we're nitpicking, right, this team is twelfth in the net.
I mean, what are we complaining about their four lost
two games? This is us nitpicking. So I don't want
people to think, oh Ron Bred Andrews went out their
ripping bit. No, we're not just we're nit picking. We're
nit picking two losses. That's what we're doing because that's
how good this team is. They lost by two to Kona,
then it unraveled at Texas Tech. The Texas Tech win bonkers.
They didn't miss seven shots. Wats decided, Okay, I'm gonna
eat some cookies during you know, the break and take
some whatever juice and just able to bonkers. That's what happened.
It happens in basketball. This team is not a bad team.
We're not ripping them. Look they got they got a
great win. They blew Wisconsin out. What Wisconsin is in
the net Wisconsin is four and oh I think in
their quad two games and they have one win and
they beat number they beat number two Michigan, Like, come on,
this team has played a phenomenal schedule. So I don't
want people to think that we're coming and we're doing that.
So anyway, we got to get the break.
Speaker 1: We're gone along.
Speaker 2: But hopefully we're getting you guys prepped and you're getting
you know, you're getting hyped for the bau Utah game.

play the four. I will play play the four. Okay,
So Ben's are Ben's are three? Then you are your
four in the paint. Who's our five? Man is gonna
be a little bit too lazy. He's not gonna want to.
I mean, j T could play the five. We have
to ask him. You know, he might be coaching us.
He might be yelling at us from the side.
Speaker 1: He can play one with actual basketball height.
Speaker 2: This is true. That that that that's that, that's true.
Speaker 3: But look, this isn't an NBA pickup.
Speaker 1: This is five eleven. So I'm I'm definitely a guard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Brett does Because Bret's girty. You don't want
to go down there in the paint. But j T
might be our coach. That's why I bring it up.
He might be the coach yelling us set on the sideline,
yelling at me to stop shooting threes and to actually
cut to the basket every now and then. But if not,
I would love JT is a five. Look, if JT
was a five, this is what I'm gonna do. I'm
just gonna give him the ball of him shooting and
go rebound with Brat. That's exactly what I'm gonna do
because he can knock it down. I mean, he's still
shooting threes with the son Xander and it's still drilling.
You know, it's fifteen twenty in a row. Oh then no,
he's a bucket bro.
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen him. He's good, bro.
Speaker 2: I've seen the videos and I've got I need to
see it in person. I told JT. I apologize for
not getting out to see my nephew, but man, uh,
he gonna be nice. I see why people overseas one
of them because he is a ballershot call caller like Pops. Actually,
you know what, that's what we need to do. Forget it.
J T will coach, and then we're gonna have Xander
play the point guard and the rest of us will
just three pound. We'll at a future college basketball star
do that for us. Though, we appreciate you, whether you're
tuning on the one O three nine ninety eight three
FM dollar or the old fashioned way on the app,
we appreciate you. Question of today is this, what do
you need to see from BYUS bench on Saturday against Utah?
We don't need to talk about the starters, and we
can even throw canard and not even that. I'm gonna
change it right now. I just change it. What do
you need to see from everybody else? That's not aj
rober Ritchie. That's what it's going to be. Because up
until this point, I know Kevin Young has said that
those three are gonna take majority of the points. But
we've heard it from Jay Drew, Darnell Dixon is starting
to see it now. I'm starting to see it once
your guys' thoughts. I don't know if it's sustainable. I
really don't. I think you're gonna need guys, and even
if it's one guy, even if it's Tyler Morriss giving
you twelve to fifteen. Because Brett and I were on
the airways a couple of weeks ago in non conference
play when Alexi Coastach had this moment when Tyler Morriss
had this moment and we thought, Okay, now we're gonna
see those and we yet to see it. It could
just be one guy, but we need outside of the
big three. What do you need to see and who
is it from because up until this point we really
haven't seen it at all in the season, and we
really definitely haven't seen it a comp friends play.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 5: It's sustainable in I think it's sustainable in conference play,
I think it's SUSTA games.
Speaker 4: I think it's sustainable in games that are not Arizona,
Houston and Texas Tech.
Speaker 1: Like, you'll get some wins the way you're you won't
go deep.
Speaker 3: I think TCU was an anomaly.
Speaker 1: I don't think that.
Speaker 4: But again, all the teams you're playing in the tournament
are teams like Arizona, Texas Tech, and Houston Day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I feel like the way like, I feel
like this.
Speaker 4: Is sustainable as long as you're not playing those teams.
But then to your point, when you get into the
Big twelve tournament and then when you get into the
n Cuba tournament, then it doesn't even matter because you
are going to play Houston's and Arizona's.
Speaker 1: In Texas Tech's.
Speaker 5: But back to the question, what you need to see
isn't I'm gonna say that you can't see it this game.
I need someone to hit I need someone outside the
Big three to hit multiple threes two games in a row.
Speaker 2: But you gotta do it against Utah.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying Utah is.
Speaker 5: The first half of that. Okay, let me caause the
first half of that. Who could ever, whoever does that
against Utah has to do that against Arizona and the
best shot at that, in my opinion, is Boskovic.
Speaker 2: He's he's the one that's playing. Absolutely, I mean, he's
the one that's strip.
Speaker 4: We all agree it's either him or Canard, right, Like,
I don't think there's anybody else who. I mean, I
thought coming into the season, Dominique Diomande could have been
that guy.
Speaker 2: I'm still high on Dominique. Like I like what Hadeen
brings to the rebounding aspect of the game, but offensively,
you know, perimeter wise, I would love to see Dominique
get in there. This is nothing against Mohilo, and maybe
Dominique is a little bit dinged up, but I would
like to see if, if, if Mohilo is not shooting
well and it continues to go that way, I would
love to see what Dominique can do in this game.
Remember the last Utah game, Dominique came in. Guys, he
came in. I think I might have to go back.
It might not be that game. It might have been
a TCU game. Actually correct me if I'm wrong, But
I think if things aren't going with your rotation, I
know Kevin Jone wants to keep it tight, but go
back to what you had last ye Again, isn't this
a time where you had a big rotation and you
made changes. Look, switch it up, switch it up if
it's not working with one guy. And I love Mahalo
and I want him to be that guy. I want
every time Mahilo touches the ball look and this, hopefully
this is not too much of a hot take. I
want it to be because I feel, man, I'm gonna
get roaster for saying this, but I'll stand on it.
I feel like Mahilo shooting the ball, and he's shooting
it less than he was last year, you know, and
what I mean like shot attempts. I know a lot
more people think that because we had jt on and
we looked at the numbers and then back that up.
But I don't want it to start to become Trey
Stewart is like, Okay, I know he's missing, I know
he's breaking. Because I started to feel like it's starting
to get like that where it's streaky. I wanted to
be the Trey Stewart in a positive way of where
when he gets the ball, it's like if you don't
step up, you're in trouble. Because last year tell me
if I'm wrong. When Trey Stewart got we were begging,
at least I was. I was like passed about a tray.
Trey could shoot that as before earlier wasn't the case.
But that let that that latter half all last season,
you know, February March, when Trey Stewart took the ball,
it took the shot, You're like, Okay, it's going down.
You were confident with him taking a shot. Right now,
I don't know if I can say if I'm confident
with Myhilo taking a three. But I want the confidence
to get back to that point. And that's what I'm saying.
Maybe you make a switch and maybe you put Dominique,
but your guys' thoughts on that, because it's starting to
feel like a Trey Stewart thing where I feel like
the confidence is just not there right now.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't want I think Mahilo is taking better
shots this year he is. I don't want it to
get to the point where I thought last year he
shot the ball like he didn't think it was ever
coming back, Like he he took some interesting threes. I
felt like last year and this year is three point
percentage is up eight percent from twenty six point eight
percent last last year to thirty four point eight So
I do think he's improved into being a better player.
I just think the thing that made Trey Stewart such
a good player for BYU is what you talked about then.
He was always a lockdown defender, but he developed an
offensive side. And that's where we're waiting for Canard Davis
because I feel like the Canard's a good defender. He's
really good, but you need him to start coming in
like Traye did last year. And it wasn't until the
end of last year that I felt like Trey really
did that.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until West Virginia.
Speaker 5: Late in the year, the day that Tom Homo announced
his retirement that Trey turned into something for BYU. So
we're starting to hit that time of year where last
year we didn't know if they were making the tournament
and then they ripped off nine straight. And so if
you're going to make a lineup change, Utah is probably
the best team to do it against, or if not Utah,
Oklahoma State right after that Kansas game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you feel confident at home and you feel
like you can get Utah and maybe you stick to
what you're doing, you don't do it, or maybe you
do feel like you can do that. But Kevin Young
said he's a very routine guy where it's the same joggers.
Brett Wild say, it wears the same shoes. I've paid attention.
I keep waiting to walk from the walk through with
the dunks and he walks out of I'm like, nope,
same stuff he does. Not I mean for crying out loud.
I mean they're making graphics about the polos because that's
that's what they're at. I'm being serious. I'm joking, but
I'm also being serious. I'm not not making that up.
So I don't know if he'll do that in a
rivalry game against Utah, but I definitely agree with your point.
Ap It definitely could come against Oklahoma State. Here's my
thought of the matter. It depends on do you want
to go bigger or are you looking for three and
D perimeter because Hadim can't guard the perimeter. But to me,
if you're gonna insert someone, it would have to be
him first. It probably would be Mohillo because of spacing,
but they probably would just switch the rotation now. But
to be honest, if I'm gonna keep it road, you guys,
I don't even want them to switch it. I just
want Canard to lock in like Mulwood Mac, I wanted
to stay the same. And I know I hear some
he might not be.
Speaker 3: Here's my only issue. Yeah, I didn't think about this
until AP.
Speaker 1: Brought it up.
Speaker 4: I don't I think the way that Canard kind of
wants to play. I don't think there's enough of those
minutes when he's on the floor with aj, Ritchie and
Rob and I think there would be more of those
minutes if he was, like I think, if he had
the freedom to do whatever he wanted. Because I and
I don't know, but I think AP brings up a
good point. You bring up Hilo shooting the ball like
he didn't know when he was gonna get it back.
I wonder if that's maybe how Canard looks at things
a little bit as well, because like you're playing, I mean,
it's like it's like playing with like your older brothers
or your older cousins or whatever, Like you may get
one catch or you may get one shot.
Speaker 1: You don't know when you're getting the ball again.
Speaker 3: And not to.
Speaker 4: Say that these guys aren't so Elfish, but there's so
many of these guys in a big three.
Speaker 3: It's not just it's not just AJ.
Speaker 4: You have basically three AJ's, so you don't know when
you're gonna get the ball back. I do wonder if
there's some validity to move Canard to playing minutes where
he is your number one option or your number two options,
so that he has a little bit more freedom. I
don't know if that fixes things. It could just be
as simple as a shooting slump. It could be as
simple as twelve lights or bright I don't know what
it is. What I know is I want Canard to
get back on track shooting the three ball. And maybe
it's just to switch up temporarily. Maybe you maybe you
haven't come off the bench, or a couple of games
and it works and you're like, awesome, let's keep this.
Or maybe you put him on the bench and he
and he balls out and he says, no, coach, I
want to be back in with the stars.
Speaker 3: I think I have it figured out. Whatever it needs
to be, I'm good with.
Speaker 4: It just needs to happen so that Canard can get
back into a show shooting rhythm. Because I think He's
the lynchpin for this team to be successful.
Speaker 3: If he gets two to three threes a game.
Speaker 4: Again, like I said, if he makes two to three
threes more than what he did against Texas Tech, I
think Bou wins that game. If you can get him
to add just a couple threes, which we know he
hasn't been able to do in Big twelve play. If
you get him to add that, I think that fills
the tiny, tiny gap. I don't I don't even know
if there's a gap between Arizona, Texas Tech, and Houston,
but if there is, I think just a couple shots
going down for Canard could fill it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think your point is spot on, and I
agree with Kannard being a lynch pin. Bau's got a
lot of fire extinguisher, and a lynch pin is Canard
Davis Junior. Because if you just think about what what
added and playing that role and thriving hidden those threes
BYU is virtually a times unstoppable. And I mean that
in the best way, or not even versus unstopp Oh,
that's the wrong word. It just made them just as
difficult to compete with. Think about the Arizona game. Oh,
Arizona goes in a run, By's down by one ball
to the corner. Three points splat. It's like bet now
back on defense, like it gave Byu the energy it
needed to stay and he brings that. He brings that
energy to the team. But I do agree. I think
it's the three point shooting and I've been thinking about it.
I've been in here in the studio here just writing
down lineups and doing this. I want your guys' thoughts
on this, and I know we have to go to
break soon. Tell me what you think about this. You
have Richie if Canard it is your point forward, You
have a Jidim, and then you.
Speaker 1: Have b Doo.
Speaker 2: How do you like that in the second unit and
Rob's on the bench.
Speaker 1: I don't hate it. I think there's a lot of
size for sure.
Speaker 2: Well that's why because I know Kevini likes to be big,
and it also helps Canard just play defense and focus
a little bit more.
Speaker 5: The only thing I don't like is you've got two
players on the floor at one time that can't.
Speaker 1: Shoot in three and that's what worries me. So it
messes up your spacing a little bit.
Speaker 2: You could even argue maybe three with AJ because he struggles,
but I feel like he's turned it on the last
couple of games. He's gotten a little bit better.
Speaker 5: But I think that'll get you a few minutes of
a different look. For sure, that might throw the defense off,
but you have to go a little bit more old
fashioned with the way you play.
Speaker 2: I'm just worried about and now also putting a J
in foul trouble, which is why through the other two
in there, because maybe you can offload a little bit
of it because if you take Hadem out, then do
you put Mahilo in? You know, like that's ther only
other options like okay, be to Mahilo, AJ, Richie and
then Knard. I think you guys would agree with that
because this gives you another three point shooter. Yeah, and
Richie can play lockdown defense too.
Speaker 1: Now Richie can play defense.
Speaker 2: No Richie's role when you look at you're looking for
Richie to score. Though, when I'm talking about defense, Richie
one hundred percent can of soil.
Speaker 1: Can AJ?
Speaker 2: When I say foul troubles, just you can offload Hadem
being that stretch for guarding guys that are three like
topping and doing it and rather than having to maybe
go to AJ or having Richie gar Wats. That's what
I'm trying to diffirm, trying to throw a beat you
as the rim protector, take away that five and half
it em take the three of the four guy, and
AJ can play a little bit different with matchups. That's
what I'm thinking, as if Kevin Young, but if not,
then it's okay, you put Mohilo on there, and then okay,
AJ takes the best player, Richie takes second best, beats
your perimeter player, and then Canard and Mohilo operate from
the perimeter because Richie will be your action guy, coming
off screens and penned downs.
Speaker 1: The other part of me wonders, if we're just overthinking it.
Speaker 2: We probably could be.
Speaker 4: Like, what if they just do what they've done so
far in conference play? Because I think we all agree.
I think this team where they are today or maybe
if you want to say wherever they are right before
the TCU game, if you think they've changed that much.
I think that team beats Yukon, I really do, and
I think they've improved since then. I think even without Baker,
I think they've gotten I mean, not as good as
they could be with him.
Speaker 1: But like I think they've they've taken that hit on
the chin.
Speaker 4: Like what if they just roll in tomorrow doing what
they've done and Canard shows up. Maybe he just needed
a week off. Maybe that's all it is to it.
Speaker 3: And maybe. I Mean, the one thing I know is
n K.
Speaker 4: Why I trust If.
Speaker 3: And especially the rest of the staff man.
Speaker 4: The staff is full of geniuses, So I'm I have
no doubt that they'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah they will. Well, look, we're giving you guys something
to talk about. Again, we're nitpicking a sixteen two teams.
I feel terrible that I'm doing it, but that's Uh.
Speaker 4: The reason we're nitpicking Ron is because we're not talking
about this team like I hope b Yu makes a
tournament this year. This this is what you This is
how you talk about a team that you are wanting
to be the best in the country. We're wanting to
win the big championship and to make the final four.
Speaker 5: This is the solution of BYA basketball five years ago.
We're having a conversation of is BYU going to be
able to beat Pacific?
Speaker 2: Oh, don't bring that up, you said it, ah, real.
Speaker 5: That is the evolution of the YU basketball and now
we're picking a sixteen and two basketball team.
Speaker 1: It's a good problem to have, man, it's the sixteen to.
Speaker 2: Two basketball team will potentially the number one overall pick
in the twenty twenty six NBA Draft, three and two
other NBA picks, as well as Rob Wright and Richie Saunders.
And we're over here and nitpicking because five years ago, Bo,
you would be sixteen and four, like, oh, there was
a tournament because they lost the Pacific?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: Is the three and a half point spread over Pacific
big enough?
Speaker 2: Isn't a big enough on? Did by you cover enough?
I remember those days in college. So Elijah Bryan led
BYU two will come back against San Francisco going overtime?
Is that enough? That's the conversations we were having, Oh
too many wc Oh, you didn't beat Saint Mary's at home,
you didn't split? Okay, you gotta be Gonzaga now okay,
Oh it's over. Like that's a conversations. So that I
