There's never been 45 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,439 more than one day of one hundred degrees in March 46 00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:06,959 in history, So we're setting records out here. 47 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: Is there an idea that like springball could be moved? 48 00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:13,599 I know the Cardinals used to you know, do their 49 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,240 their their camp up and flag Staff.

They've 54 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:32,599 been doing that for since. 55 00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:33,319 Speaker 4: The late fifties. 56 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: But they also have an indoor facility where they have 57 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,439 the ability to go if it gets too high. 58 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: When was the indoor facility built for football? 59 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,759 Speaker 3: Around two thousand and eight or two thousand and nine 60 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,479 is when it opened. 61 00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:49,159 Speaker 5: It's a it's an. 62 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 3: Inflatable but it's but it's climate controlled. They're actually going 63 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,360 to build a permanent indoor structure that's right next to 64 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,000 the stadium that's going to start being built next year, 65 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,479 so that's going to be in use in like a 66 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,479 year and a half. 67 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:07,879 Speaker 2: When So, what was the cost for the IPF, That 68 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,520 new IPF that you guys are going to be a building? 69 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,479 Do you know the number? 70 00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it's it's like forty something million dollars 71 00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:17,800 uh for the indoor But they're also going to have 72 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,319 as part of that a new volleyball facility like a 73 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,319 practice and offices and stuff. So that's also several million 74 00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:26,439 of the whole thing. 75 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 5: It's a it's a huge it's a huge. 76 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 3: Building, one hundred and seventy yards. It's going to be 77 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,520 the biggest one other than Texas A and M that 78 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,520 I've seen in the country. 79 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: Crazy times. Look, they there's a lot of buzz positive 80 00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,199 buzz down there. How would you describe the momentum right 81 00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:48,360 now for ASU football with your coach being extended? Dillingham 82 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,680 is a is an ASU alum. He seems bought in. 83 00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:54,039 Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely. 84 00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: The they sold out every game last season, which is 85 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,800 the first time that that's happened in decades, like five decades. 86 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,080 So the disappointment of a season for eight wins is 87 00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:10,639 kind of tells you what the expectations are now for 88 00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:12,960 AS and what they've been able to accomplish with their roster. 89 00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:18,000 I feel like they added a whole bunch of very 90 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,319 high profile transfers that have looked good through the first 91 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,279 several days of practice. So a lot of positive momentum 92 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,839 going love that. 93 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,319 Speaker 2: Let's talk some basketball news. Big moves on the head 94 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,439 coaching front with Hurley essentially stepping down and new coaching 95 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,439 staff being hired. Give us the latest. Who's the new 96 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,560 head coach and what's the buzz like around the new 97 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,360 head coaching. 98 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,639 Speaker 3: High Yeah, Randy Bennett decided to come back to the valley. 99 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,000 He was born and. 100 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,519 Speaker 5: Raised in Mesa. 101 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,319 Speaker 3: His dad was a pretty famous junior college coach, six 102 00:04:56,439 --> 00:05:02,279 time Coach of the Year in Arizona and and Randy Bennett, 103 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,759 after twelve instable A appearances in twenty five years of 104 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,519 Saint Mary's all time winning as coach, one of the 105 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,600 best coaches in West Coast Conference history, decided he wanted 106 00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:14,639 to come back home. Sixty three years old, his parents 107 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,319 are getting up there in age now, and in the 108 00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:21,480 opportunity to be close to them in this latter stage 109 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,560 of his coaching tenure was very appealing and a pretty 110 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,519 impressive higher for. 111 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 5: A If you've given what Bennett was able to accomplish. 112 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: And also considering that if he really hasn't been that 113 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,439 successful in basketball since Ned Wolke, which that was got 114 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,680 to go forty five years ago. 115 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,759 Speaker 2: What type of impact do you think Randy Bennett's going 116 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,639 to have on this ASU program? Do you think it's 117 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,360 going to be able to He's going to be able 118 00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:47,240 to kind of build them up and get them into 119 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,959 a competitive mode and maybe even compete for a big 120 00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:50,800 total championship. 121 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 3: Well, that's the goal. Obviously, you got to have realistic aspirations. 122 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,319 I would say that ASU is still going to be 123 00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:04,319 significantly outspent on its roster compared to a lot of 124 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:08,439 the operational on Big twelve teams. Ben At Saint Mary's 125 00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:09,759 team this this year. 126 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 5: Had six or. 127 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 3: Seven losses only on the season and was at number 128 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,040 seven seed in the NBA Tournament and only had one senior. 129 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,879 That had three all conference players who are have remaining eligibility, 130 00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:25,879 one of whom already entered the transfer portal. Probably others 131 00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:26,480 will follow. 132 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 5: It's a safe bet that some of. 133 00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:31,959 Speaker 3: These guys will probably end up following Randy Bennett to ASU. 134 00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:36,600 And there's several good players that are on the roster 135 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,560 who have the ability to decide whether or not they 136 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,600 want to stay or transfer what that's gonna look like. 137 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 5: So I think the key thing with. 138 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,519 Speaker 3: Randy Bennett is a very high floor, Like you know, 139 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,639 you're gonna play great defense, and you're gonna be well coached, 140 00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:55,879 You're gonna hunt for high quality shots. Are they gonna 141 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,800 all of a sudden be able to play in that 142 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,480 pop tire in the Big twelve? Well, probably not, although 143 00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:04,079 maybe you know, some nights they will. And I think 144 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,879 overall the goal is just. 145 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 5: Trying to get to more NCAA tournament appearances. To days 146 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,240 who's been able to accomplish in recent decades, it seems 147 00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:15,519 like it's on average been like a once every three 148 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,040 to four year thing, And the goal will be to 149 00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:22,600 try to make that more, like, you know, better than average, 150 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,120 Like more than fifty percent would probably be a goal. 151 00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, And just to go along with that maybe a 152 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:32,319 little bit and put this in a maybe a BYU 153 00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:35,399 type of perspective, YU and Arizona State start to get 154 00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:37,480 a little bit of a rivalry on the football field 155 00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:41,800 with Kenny Dillingham and bau fans obviously have some experience 156 00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:45,360 against Randy Bennett teams and there was a rivalry there 157 00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:48,160 between Bay and Saint Mary's for a few years. Could 158 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,439 you see this coaching move producing more of a rivalry 159 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,519 on the basketball court between BYU and Arizona State. With 160 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,120 the history between BYU and Randy Bennett. 161 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 5: I think so. 162 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: Already there were a ton of BYU fans in my 163 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,720 comments on my social media posts about the possibility of 164 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,079 Randy Bennett getting hired and then eventually him being named 165 00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:15,639 the coach. So yeah, I think I think there's going 166 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,279 to be more attention to this. And as you know, 167 00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:23,639 you know that the Arizona and the Valley have the 168 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:29,360 second highest percentage of LDS population of anywhere in the 169 00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:32,440 in the country. So there's already a lot of b 170 00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:34,440 YU fans that are here. There's a lot of people 171 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,159 that pay a lot of people that pay a lot 172 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,600 of really close attention to kind of what happens, and 173 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,679 that that rivalry between as U and and b YU 174 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,519 both at proximity the bordering states, you know, and the 175 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,559 latter the experance connection, and now you got Randy Bennett's conection. 176 00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:51,080 There's a lot of things there that people are paying 177 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:51,559 attention to. 178 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm intrigued by this hire and I think it's 179 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,559 an awesome hire. Actually, b YU fan do not like 180 00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:05,120 Randy Bennett one bit. Like he is enemy. He was 181 00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:07,399 like public enemy number one in the West Coast coinars. 182 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:09,480 They did not like his demeanor, they didn't like how 183 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,919 he coached, They didn't like his like tirades on the sideline. 184 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:16,600 And look, Saint Mary's got their fair share of dubs. 185 00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:20,320 There was a Dela Vedova dagger once upon a time. 186 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,799 They always had like these like Australian bigs that would 187 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,240 just dominate in the low post and rebound and like 188 00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:30,120 double double machines. They did not like. They do not 189 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,200 like Randy Bennett. And if so, if any of these 190 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,759 these Saint Mary like teams are coming to Provo with 191 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,360 a little bit more nil behind them, there's maybe fear 192 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,720 in the hearts of the of the BYU fan right now. 193 00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 5: I gotta know about fear. 194 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,399 Speaker 3: I mean, YU really got it rolling and a lot 195 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,720 of money on the roster this year with you know, 196 00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:55,519 arguably the top player in college basketball or one of 197 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,399 the top two. I just think that, you know, the 198 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,559 Big twelve is ultra competitive. Everybody understands that the teams 199 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,879 that haven't done as well are trying to improve their 200 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,559 standing and. 201 00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:12,879 Speaker 5: Compete in this ultra challenging conference. And you can see 202 00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:16,559 that AFU has not really had that much success. 203 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 3: Under Bobby Hurley in the Big twelve in two years 204 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,519 and wanted to go a different route. 205 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 5: His contract is basically ending in June, so not even 206 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,120 a need to fire him or anything. It's just, hey, 207 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,399 we're going to go in a different direction. 208 00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:29,919 Speaker 3: Randy Bennett is the type of guy who's gone to 209 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,639 war against you know, Gonzaga and and BYU and other 210 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,200 Isantapira and other teams and over the years, and now 211 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,279 he's ready to do that at. 212 00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 5: As you. 213 00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:44,159 Speaker 2: So, I mean there's going to be a rebuild of 214 00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:46,120 the roster, right, this is going to be a completely 215 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,000 revamp brought Do you do you think there's going to 216 00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:51,399 be any retention. Will there be a point of creative 217 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,240 strategic retention on this roster at all? Any key players 218 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,720 that that that Randy's going to really try hard to retain. 219 00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:04,919 Speaker 3: Well, So a FU has one of the top big 220 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,480 men in the country who's a freshman Masamba job. 221 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 5: I think what ultimately, you know come. 222 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 3: Down to is the money. I've heard the job is 223 00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:19,759 probably worth two million or more if he decided to 224 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,679 transfer or look at transferring. So you got to make 225 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,840 decisions based upon how much money that you have available to. 226 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 4: Give the players. 227 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 5: Now there's a positive thing, which is that they have 228 00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:32,720 the same agent. 229 00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 3: Randy Bennett is repped by the former Washerman agency, so 230 00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:40,279 is Masamba job so that might be able to help them. 231 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 5: And then there's some other players that I. 232 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:45,039 Speaker 3: Think as you that would like to probably keep with 233 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:51,720 Randy Bennett. Noah Mayhusen was a good guard six to five, versatile, skilled, smart, 234 00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:54,759 a lot of a lot of positive attributes. And Santiago 235 00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,600 Truett is a forward who you know, he had a 236 00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:01,759 lot of double doubles, somebody who's probably one of the 237 00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:07,559 best rebounders and compete on the defensive ends. And Andreas 238 00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:12,279 Gerbovich is a six foot ten guy. You can stretch 239 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,480 the floor as a stretch four man or five man. 240 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,399 So there's players that probably would like to try to 241 00:12:17,639 --> 00:12:20,600 consider keeping. I don't think it will be that many 242 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:24,200 that will be on the roster from the season to 243 00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:27,480 next maybe three or four, and then I wouldn't be 244 00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:30,039 surprised at all if there were even more. 245 00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:33,159 Speaker 5: Than that who transferred from Saint Mary's. 246 00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:35,879 Speaker 3: To ASU or at least that many, and then probably 247 00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:37,399 you've got to go out and get a third of 248 00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:43,039 your roster from the transfer portal. They already got a 249 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,399 switch of a commitment or at least a signee. Jay 250 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,240 rob Croy, he's a four star recruit from California who's 251 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,919 a combo guard six foot five. Because he's ranked in 252 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,559 the top twenty combo guards in the country. He already 253 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,279 announced be switching from Saint Mary's as so, but yeah, 254 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,000 I think it'll it'll be mostly new players. I would 255 00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:06,120 just say that a lot of them are going to 256 00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:09,799 probably be from Saint Mary's. Remember Kurt Signetti when when 257 00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:12,600 he when he you know, it's crossport analogy, but when 258 00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:13,360 he was at. 259 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 5: JMU, he went to Indiana. 260 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,519 Speaker 3: He brought like thirty guys on his roster and that 261 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,960 was a huge part of what jump started his success there. 262 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,320 And you wouldn't be surprised to see Randy Bennett lean 263 00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:25,519 on his former players bring him over. 264 00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:29,399 Speaker 6: Yeah, and I want to just stick here with the 265 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,919 transfer port discussion. There's a familiar face that entered the 266 00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:36,960 transfer portal from Arizona State that that by fans would 267 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,320 recognize and and Marcus Adams junior and or Marcus Adams 268 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,240 and and we'd like to keep track a little bit 269 00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:47,480 of players that transfer away. But I mean, say he 270 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,279 transfers to a new school and he sticks in the 271 00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:52,159 transfer portal, that'll be his fourth school in four years. 272 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,120 Is there anything that you any insight that you have 273 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,200 on why it's been hard for him to find a 274 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,480 place to stick around and really make his impact. 275 00:14:02,039 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 5: Well, he was kind of unlucky at ASU. 276 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 3: He had an injury that sidelined him for like the 277 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,200 months or more than a month before the season started, 278 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,200 and then even into the season for several weeks, and 279 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,720 then he wasn't really in great basketball shape. When he 280 00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:24,960 finally you know, kind of got up to speed, then 281 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,200 you know, it just he wasn't playing, and then he 282 00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:31,240 had another sort of a thing where he got dinged up. 283 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,759 So I think he had a bad luck time in ASU. 284 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,639 It's hard for me to really go back and look 285 00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:40,679 at what happened in his three prior years. Obviously, he 286 00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:44,240 had been very successful at cal State Northridge and that's 287 00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:46,799 what enabled him to. 288 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,639 Speaker 5: Be a higher profile guy, one of the two high 289 00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,600 profile guys that was added. So I no, no, we'll 290 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,559 have to see what happens. 291 00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:56,679 Speaker 2: This is another faux segment brought to you by Central 292 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,440 Garage Doors Central Garage Utah dot com.

How you feeling about? 299 00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:20,919 How is uh? How is the sun?

If you went to a really bad 304 00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:39,200 demoralizing time with the and Souble investigation in the Foo 305 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,440 for recruiting violations that occurred during the covid UH period 306 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,200 that led to eventually the athletic director and head coach leaving, 307 00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:54,600 really leaving in disgrace. And the synergy that's happened in 308 00:15:54,919 --> 00:15:58,519 the first two years with Graham Rassini as the athletic director, 309 00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:03,320 coinciding with this success of Kenny Dillingham and Molly Miller 310 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,360 and basketball making the NA Tournament in her first year, 311 00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:10,559 one of the best turnaround jobs in the country. ASU 312 00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:15,240 Baseball is now ranked twenty second nationally and having what 313 00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:18,159 maybe it's best season under Willie Bloomquiss in his first 314 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,519 four years. And now you got Randy Bennett, which I 315 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:24,720 think most people would agree is a somewhere between a 316 00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:28,840 good and a excellent hire. So you know, generally speaking, 317 00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:32,120 you have more fan buy in to what's. 318 00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 5: Going on right now in the flex department than anytime. 319 00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 3: In a number of years. Probably got to go back 320 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,159 to when Todd Graham had things really rolling in the 321 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,919 twenty fourteen twenty fifteen a time frame probably the best 322 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,440 overall state of the program in about a decade. 323 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: Chris, we appreciate you talking ball with us.

Christian Couslowski. They do a phenomenal job. I 432 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,640 believe they're going to be on the call tonight for 433 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,720 the BAU women's basketball game. They take on number two 434 00:21:51,799 --> 00:21:55,440 seed at Stanford, who our own our very own Camp Clark, 435 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,400 who does the Cougar Sports and our updates. We'll be 436 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,440 doing sideline for the game as well. If they're able 437 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,920 to get to Wich It's off. They win tonight, they 438 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,920 end up going to the semi final over there, so 439 00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:07,319 we wish them the best of luck. But Spencer had 440 00:22:07,319 --> 00:22:11,160 a mention to comment. Now it's the offseason, right Andrew, 441 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,599 Everyone's going to be talking about it, bench production? What 442 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,640 do they needs? What are their transitportal needs? Everyone says shooting, 443 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,200 But I'm looking at mor ofage than just shooting. I 444 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,880 think you also need to look at bench production. So 445 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,799 this is what Spencer had to say of offseason priorities 446 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,720 and how BA you can get back to the Sweet 447 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,240 sixteen because the expectation this year with the roster, some 448 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,960 people said final four. I thought that was a little 449 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,960 bit too long. But I think BA, you can be 450 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,079 back into Sweet sixteen competing for an elite eight. But 451 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,799 less you're at Spencer had to say on the matter, 452 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,920 BA also needs bench production. 453 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 8: You gotta go eight deep in this conference. In the 454 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,720 Big twelve Conference, you have to have at least three 455 00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:51,160 viable scoring options off the bench. How many guys that 456 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:51,920 by you have. 457 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 4: On their bench? Where were they went in the game 458 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,440 and you. 459 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 8: Thought, okay, they can get a bucket, they can get 460 00:22:56,519 --> 00:23:01,160 a bucket. It was a one maybe you guys and 461 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,039 it was sporadic Alexi Coastitch can hit a three or 462 00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:06,240 two if he comes off the bench. Maybe hedem Boop 463 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,440 can get a donk here there, or he can knock 464 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,160 down a little floater in the lane. 465 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 4: You don't want to be thinking that way. 466 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 8: You got to have eight viable players that can all score. 467 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,039 So some bench production now just bench players, bench production. 468 00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:26,559 Speaker 4: Okay, that was Spencer Linton's bench scoring, bench players, not 469 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,000 just bench production, not just bench players. Ap your thoughts 470 00:23:30,039 --> 00:23:31,440 on Spencer's comments. 471 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 6: I mean, one hundred percent agree by you. One of 472 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,960 their achilles heels, one of the few achilles heels they had, 473 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,359 was the bench had players that had potential but didn't 474 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,559 live up to it very consistently. Like I think Coastitch 475 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,240 is a great piece going forward. I actually really like 476 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,599 the idea of developing Coastitch, and I think there's a 477 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,680 lot of potential. 478 00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 2: There, But I would like to see B why you. 479 00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 6: Pick some guys up out of the portal that have 480 00:23:58,319 --> 00:24:03,519 proven to be consistent and productive at the at the 481 00:24:03,559 --> 00:24:08,599 Power for A level. Look that the mid major transfers 482 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,680 are great, and I think there's a lot of potential there, 483 00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:15,519 But if I'm BYU, and especially if I'm a BYU 484 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,960 fan that watched this last year, I honestly I want 485 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,920 to see more transfers come in from the transfer portal 486 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,599 that are proven at the power for A level. That's 487 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,240 where I think you can build a bench that can 488 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:35,000 be consistent, that can come in and produce, because getting 489 00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:39,920 guys that work great at the mid major level is 490 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,680 a really hit or miss prospect. 491 00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 4: You bring up a good point of mid majors. I 492 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,079 mean it's hard for mid majors to schedule these schools. 493 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,160 And look, if they're going to the ones like the 494 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,359 Boston colleges, you know, in Boston University or whatever in 495 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,000 the ACC and they're getting paid you know, somewhere between 496 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,279 two hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred thousand, or maybe 497 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,799 on the high end five or six one hundred thousand, 498 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,039 they're not gonna play or they're gonna be the guy 499 00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:04,400 that just tells you and yeah, I think it be 500 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,400 what he definitely does. Like the I like the idea 501 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,359 of coastage, like you mentioned, I think Kanar can play 502 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,440 in this. I think his defense truely is e laite. 503 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,960 I think Kevin Young did pigeon hold him to not 504 00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:17,440 let him facilitate. But in the same breath, Knar was 505 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,319 out there. He's got a hit shots. Maybe he should 506 00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:21,759 just shoot him from the corner and not at the 507 00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:23,759 top of the keepment if that's his strength. I also 508 00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:25,880 like Kadem. I think Kadem's done well. I think there's 509 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,640 a place even for Dominic Diamonde. But there's gonna need 510 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,039 to be some adjustments on this roster. I even think 511 00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:32,960 you need to look at the big three that you have. 512 00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:35,240 I even think looking at you know, should Rob Wright 513 00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:36,759 come back? You know, I think all of that you 514 00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:38,599 got too many guards ap and I haven't gotten your 515 00:25:38,599 --> 00:25:41,200 thoughts on this, but you got Rob Wright, you got 516 00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:43,640 Dawson Baker. You know, if he wants to come back, right, 517 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,920 we haven't heard anything, but you'd have to assume maybe 518 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,319 that he is because he didn't walk on senior day, 519 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,160 so it looks like he's in a good place. Nate 520 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,759 Pickens as well. Then you got kJ Perry, and then 521 00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:55,079 Bruce branch is coming in, and I assume Bruce is 522 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,640 going to have the ball in his hands to maybe 523 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,240 play a little point forward he can handle. Can all 524 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,039 of those guys really they exist in the same room. 525 00:26:01,079 --> 00:26:03,440 A lot of people have said, no, that's how I feel, 526 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,680 But what are your thoughts on that matter? 527 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,279 Speaker 2: Well, I think they can. 528 00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:10,599 Speaker 6: The thing is, and here's where I actually like that 529 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:16,720 because Byu ran out of guards. Yeah, we we got 530 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,119 to the point where Aj was our point guard, which 531 00:26:19,519 --> 00:26:21,039 Aj did phenomenal at it. 532 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 2: That's not the position. 533 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 6: He should be playing like he's a he's a forward. 534 00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:28,000 That's not his natural positions, not point guard, and that's 535 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,160 not what he's going to play at the NBA. And 536 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,960 so I'm just fine with having all those if they're 537 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,079 willing to coexist in the same room. I'm all for 538 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,920 being loaded at that position. Just because you ran out 539 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,160 of ball handlers at the end of last year. What Byu, 540 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,079 I think it's a bigger concern is what's the big 541 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,400 man going into next year? 542 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,599 Speaker 2: Because Kbucaid is gone. 543 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 6: And I don't know that you can trust Bido Amed 544 00:26:57,839 --> 00:27:00,920 Ahmed to be a big man for BYU. 545 00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 2: I just I didn't see it. 546 00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 6: I understand there's a lot of difficult circumstances coming in 547 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,400 in the middle of the year, being asked to learn 548 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,559 everything and thrust in. But it just didn't. It didn't work. 549 00:27:13,319 --> 00:27:15,759 If I'm being on, it didn't work for me. And 550 00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:18,079 I know Zavian Stateton has a lot of potential, but 551 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,880 he was injured. So I want that's the position that 552 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,440 I want to focus on BAU getting more players and 553 00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:27,160 more than than the guards. 554 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,519 Speaker 4: Let's do it. Let's have that discussion right now. I 555 00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:32,039 mean Kiva Cada did the best that he could. Is 556 00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:34,759 being undersized, you know big, but like you just mentioned, 557 00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:37,640 he's not the Fus skill set of sixty six and 558 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,480 Fus was undersized, but Fus could once he got below 559 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,920 you in the low paying you know, back to the 560 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,720 basket was big. Fus was big, right two forty two 561 00:27:44,759 --> 00:27:46,680 forty five, I do was thick. And then you add 562 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,240 Ali Khalifa, who maybe Ali wasn't the best in shape, 563 00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:51,720 but when he was on from three in that passing ability, 564 00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:54,720 it made the defense guart that BYU team differently. That's 565 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,039 why I think BYU in that the first year in 566 00:27:57,079 --> 00:27:59,200 the Big twelve and last year under Mark Pope had 567 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,160 such a success because there are codes like, okay, how 568 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,240 do you scout the Egyptian yogic? How do you scout 569 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,880 a guy that can okay, stretch the floor and that 570 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,839 can pass and it has the ball in his hands 571 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,559 in the pick and roll. But now, okay, now we 572 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,079 have to adjust to this guy in the post and 573 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,519 wait a second, he's actually not bad at passing the 574 00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:17,039 ball out of the paint, so b way he needs 575 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,880 that guy. They need to go get that guy who's 576 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,000 six ten six' eleven, Truly or if you're gonna get 577 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,400 a seven, footer you, know Like, volcatitis a guy that 578 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,400 you're playing or tuggler who is you know you can 579 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,119 jump out the wazoo and pin you, know shots off 580 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,200 the backboard From, houston then that's the guy you're gonna 581 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,680 need to go. Get you bring up a good. Point, 582 00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:39,200 look if they're going to Keep, badu then what you 583 00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:41,119 need to do is all, right if that's gonna be 584 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,559 the guy that's that big and granted the last like, 585 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,200 week week and a, half he learned to set screens 586 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,000 and not move because in THE nba and the you. 587 00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:49,799 League you can get away with. Moving you can't do 588 00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:52,000 that in. College if you're moving fee to bringing your 589 00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:54,480 hands up and doing, that they're gonna call it every single. 590 00:28:54,519 --> 00:28:56,440 Time the other, way they're not giving you that benefit of. 591 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,000 Doubt you can do, that which shows you not trying 592 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,720 to take any shots At.

Foul, well guess, 595 00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:07,119 what you can't have a moving, screen which is against 596 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,359 the ridden rules in a game of. Basketball but we're 597 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,839 not gonna have the.

Threat you need 603 00:29:23,319 --> 00:29:25,519 to go get a guy in that can supplement that. Offense, 604 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,160 wise you mentioned Xavieron, staaten he's.

It 735 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,800 and you just can't put the pressure all on one. 736 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,119 Guy so we're see what they're able to.
