00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:44,120
The latest on the Parker Kingston case. What do we have, gentlemen,

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,359
what's the recent report coming out of the courts.

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,879
Speaker 4: Well, I hadn't heard this, so you guys turned us

38
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:52,280
onto this.

39
00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:53,079
Speaker 2: You know.

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 4: The the procedural part is it says that attorney has

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,799
withdrawn headline thought, oh yeah, he's lost his attorney. But

42
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:07,640
it says that his main attorney, Cara toung Gero, is

43
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:12,039
gessing what happened is maybe she had some associate attorneys

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,840
or someone that she was with and they've decide to

45
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:17,520
get out of the case for one reason or another,

46
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,960
and the judge's granted that. So she his main lawyer, says,

47
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,639
he is still represented by her. So that's the good

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,000
part of his The thing that caught my attention here,

49
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:31,159
and this kind of gets away from it. But one

50
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:33,199
thing that a lot of people when this was filed

51
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:37,360
and he was charged, there was all these of her

52
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:39,599
side of the story, and you know, we got word

53
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,360
that he said this was a consensual Well, well, it

54
00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:45,840
looks like a court filing and it's a quote and

55
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560
it's essentially you can read it and it basically says,

56
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,120
it's a quote his words, I didn't take advantage.

57
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: This is to her.

58
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,719
Speaker 4: I didn't take it. I think it was in casual.

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,280
You said, yes, I thought it was consensual. I would

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,240
never have done that. I'm just paraphrasing. He says, I'm

61
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,319
sorry you took it the wrong way. I never would

62
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,120
have done this. I regret it. I'm really sorry, you know.

63
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:12,280
So that's going to be his defense. But my question

64
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:16,240
is is that something that the court that his pleadings

65
00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:19,759
that and Garrett can offer his opinion that they submitted,

66
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,159
you know, based on what he's telling his lawyers that

67
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,159
I wanted to submit it, or is that from an

68
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,800
actual communication between them, because that will be pretty key

69
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,680
to his defense, you know, if there's a text or

70
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:33,319
an email or something you know, online between them, where

71
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,280
because all we've ever heard is what she said, you know,

72
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:39,520
and then just that he's claiming this was consensual, but

73
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:41,280
nothing in detail like this.

74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,719
Speaker 6: Did you see that, Garrett? Yeah, no, I'm with you

75
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,599
on that, but I'm yeah, not totally sure. We haven't

76
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:52,000
seen the whole story on what she's saying or he's saying.

77
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. My initial thought too, guys, I thought

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,919
it was a little bit click baitish with the law

79
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:03,960
layers were drawing from Parkingston casey as hearing is postponed

80
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,919
and then and then they clarify Kingston is still represented

81
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,800
by defense attorney Kara to Tangaro, I was, uh, I

82
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,919
was a little bit taken back by the title and

83
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,480
the titling of this particular piece, and it sounds like

84
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:21,360
you guys initially interpreted the same.

85
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know what people think when they see

86
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,759
that kind of headline. If they think, oh, well, they're

87
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,199
they're withdrawing because they think, you know, Parker's guilty and

88
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:33,519
they don't want to defend him, right, I mean, and

89
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,759
I think that's maybe what you're alluding to, Ben is clickbaity,

90
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:39,759
and it's is the wrong assumption. You know, I think,

91
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,079
let's not read too much into this. He's got counsel.

92
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:47,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's got counsel, no doubt about it. Well,

93
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:49,879
you know, we we I'm sure we're going to get

94
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:53,279
more details. It's a there's I guess a delay in

95
00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:55,879
the hearing. It'll be moved to April twenty third, it

96
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,879
looks like and I don't know what the proceedings will

97
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,120
be at that point, but what would be the next

98
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,839
steps in that hearing? What will we find out in

99
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:08,319
that hearing? Would you guys surmise just one of the.

100
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:10,639
Speaker 4: Things leading up to trial, the judge likes to check

101
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,279
in with the parties. Maybe someone has filed the motion

102
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:16,000
that they want in front of the court. You know,

103
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,480
she might have filed the motion for more evidence or

104
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:20,920
you know, their position, or she might have filed the

105
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,680
motion to have the charges dismissed. We don't know that

106
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:27,000
this or it might just be a regularly scheduled check

107
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,480
in with the attorneys as they kind of push this

108
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,199
towards trial.

109
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:33,639
Speaker 2: Do we get a sense of whether or not this

110
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:35,879
is going to go to trial or not. The probability

111
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:36,920
of this going to trial.

112
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:43,199
Speaker 6: Well, I guess I'll make my prediction here. I'm going

113
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,959
to say, no, I don't think we'll see this thing

114
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,600
go to trial. Uh.

115
00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 4: My prediction is if the prosecution stands firm on their

116
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,079
position and they feel like they have a defense, it

117
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,319
will go to trial. If he's got a very strong

118
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,120
defense that this was consensial, and if it's a he said,

119
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,560
she said, and if there's not anything else out there,

120
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,439
that's kind of the smoking gun, because the minute he

121
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,560
agrees to a plea, a lot comes with that. It

122
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:13,920
might be a reduced please, well, it might be a

123
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,639
very he would never Probably part of plea bargaining is bargaining.

124
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,560
It's negotiation, and typically don't agree to the most significant

125
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,759
highest charge. It's reduced to something below that, and you know,

126
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,120
and the penalties reduced that type of thing. So, but

127
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:32,360
then again, this is always going to be attached that

128
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:36,199
he entered a plea and people entered the police into

129
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,839
please for all different kinds of reasons they do, you know,

130
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,160
because of risk and things like that. So it's all

131
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:44,160
going to be based on what the evidence the prosecution

132
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,319
really has.

133
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 6: There are just one last thing better though, I mean,

134
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,839
these are hard cases. These are hard cases for the

135
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,120
prosecution to prove, right. I mean, there is such a

136
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,399
he said, she said component to these kinds of cases.

137
00:06:56,439 --> 00:06:57,639
So it's a big burden.

138
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: But anyway, so to take the jury out of out

139
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,680
of the county in which this occurred, correct, what are

140
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,000
the what's the process of choosing a jury to oversee

141
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,079
this this this trial if it does go to trial.

142
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 6: Well, there's a there's a whole selection process, right, And

143
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,000
obviously a story like this that is is so high profile,

144
00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:25,439
with a defendantness so high profile, they'll want to be

145
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,360
really careful on how they pick this jury right to

146
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:31,959
avoid bias. But you know, each side has some challenges

147
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,600
where they can have jurors removed for a different reason,

148
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,560
and the judge in Utah is going to be involved

149
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,560
in that process and helping to select the jury typically

150
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:43,279
and the lawyers are able to ask some questions of

151
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,680
these jurors. And so because the idea is right, I mean,

152
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,319
we've got to have a he's entitled to a fair

153
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,480
and impartial jury to hear the case. And and so

154
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:54,079
there's some work that has to be done to get

155
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:54,600
to that point.

156
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, let's uh, let's pivot here. NFL gender bias law lawsuit.

157
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:03,920
It looks like there's a female ref that is suing.

158
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,040
What's the latest on this particular situation.

159
00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got Robin Di Lorenzo, who is one of

160
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:15,560
the first female NFL refs. After climbing the ranks in

161
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:18,360
high school. In college, she hit the highest of her

162
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:21,319
profession and was a ref in the NFL well the

163
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:24,519
end of twenty twenty five seasons. She was let go

164
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,399
fired by the NFL and they claim it was for

165
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:33,240
documented under performance. Now she has filed a lawsuit against

166
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,960
the NFL, a civil rights law suit. She's claiming gender discrimination.

167
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,679
She cites a number of instances where she says there

168
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,600
was harassment and hostility towards her because of her gender.

169
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,200
She talks about specifics like she got her uniform and

170
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,600
it was a man sized uniform. She was told to

171
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,559
wear her ponytail out so people would know in the

172
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,399
public that they had a female ref out there. She

173
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,519
was subject to profanity hostility that other refs weren't. She

174
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,320
was made to go to training. These are all her allegations,

175
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,480
claims that she was made to go to training that

176
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,720
the male refs were not, she had to train with

177
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,000
college and high school refs. And so now she's coming

178
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:22,679
after the NFL and says part of it. Losso says, hey, NFL,

179
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,639
instead of supporting one of the only women on its staff,

180
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,919
the NFL exposed her to unchecked harassment, denied her the

181
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,960
resources given to men, manipulate her training and grading opportunities

182
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,159
which goes to the performance, and ultimately ended her career

183
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,519
based on tainted evaluations. So one thing I haven't seen

184
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,240
is this is a wrongful termination, But with those words there,

185
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:47,080
it seems like it probably is, and she's seeking damages,

186
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,200
and her damage will essentially be, Hey, I reached the

187
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:54,120
highest level of our profession. Probably didn't get paid what

188
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:57,200
everyone did based on tenure, but I reached the highest level,

189
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,080
and now I don't have that job anymore, and it

190
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,440
was the job I wanted, and I can quantify it.

191
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,159
Then now I don't have it, and this is what

192
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,080
you owe me. But again she's got to prove her case.

193
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,399
And the NFL has come out and said, wait a minute,

194
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:12,399
we pride ourselves on being fair. This was solely based

195
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,919
on performance, and we'll defend this vigorously. That's what you

196
00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:16,919
always hear, will defend this vigorously.

197
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:22,799
Speaker 2: The vigorous defense is always the biggest defense, always the

198
00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:25,360
best offense. Let's move on to the Major League Baseball.

199
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,960
Former Major League Baseball Commission Peter Uperol's daughter is telling

200
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,519
the court that a trustee misused millions of dollars. When

201
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,360
you say millions of dollars, a lot of ears are

202
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,919
going to perk up, a lot of eyebrows are going

203
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:39,440
to perk up.

204
00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

205
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 6: What it means is this family, Peter and his wife,

206
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,360
they have a very large trust. And when you have

207
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,559
a trust that big and not much money involved, you

208
00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:52,840
typically do have a professional trustee involved. And this is

209
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:56,600
a person who owes a fiduciary duty to Peter and

210
00:10:56,639 --> 00:11:00,679
his wife, who brought to manage the money for them.

211
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:05,320
And so what the allegation is is that as this

212
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:08,600
man and his wife, theater who is a former MLB commissioner.

213
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,559
Why we're talking about on sports court. He was headed

214
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:15,919
up the LA Olympics, so a real prominent figure in

215
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:21,159
across sports, but especially in baseball. But as he's aged, right,

216
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,879
and there's some decline happening and some dementia and some

217
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:30,480
difficulty in making certain decisions, especially complex financial decisions. And

218
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,440
so his daughter is intervening and saying, hey, I mean

219
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:37,559
more or less that this trustee is taking advantage of

220
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,960
his parents where they're not really able to make these decisions.

221
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:45,600
He's doing things that are benefiting him personally as the

222
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:49,399
trustee and not them, and so wants to have him removed.

223
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,159
So I mean, I think it's probably going to be

224
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:54,200
a pretty contentious thing. I mean, those are serious allegations

225
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,639
against the trustee, especially one who is an attorney and

226
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,840
has these duties to his client.

227
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: The trust you know what I mean, Like everybody wants

228
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,600
to be a trust fund baby, but no one, no

229
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:08,200
one really, you know, I don't know, I don't know

230
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,480
how many trust fund babies end up being okay in

231
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,120
all things right, it feels like there's always entitlement with

232
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,159
the trust fund stuff. Uh, there's a there's a negative

233
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:18,679
and a positive connotation for that. I know everyone kind

234
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,000
of looks for it, but I don't know if it's

235
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,159
always a benefit long term for you. Uh, let's get

236
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,200
into this. How about Phillies Alex Bomb suing his parents

237
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,320
for mismanagement of the finances.

238
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Alex Baum, third Basement for the Phillies All Star

239
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,639
third Baseman, He is suing his parents for mismanagement. He

240
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:42,159
states that reports that mom and dad used a series

241
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,840
of limited liability companies to funnel money out of his

242
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:50,519
personal accounts, which then they converted to their own use. Specifically,

243
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,399
he claims that they set up some LLCs and took

244
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:56,919
ten percent ownership of it. They claimed that they needed

245
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,039
to do that so they could perform their responsibilities and

246
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:02,399
be authorized to do this, but that it was actually

247
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,320
his money. Well, this all kind of came out recently

248
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,039
when Alec went to mom and dad and said, hey,

249
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:11,159
I want access to my accounts. I want to look

250
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:12,480
at him and they said no, And he said I

251
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,159
want the passwords and they wouldn't give it to him.

252
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,200
That's red flag number one. And then he goes back

253
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,759
and guess what mom and dad have done. They've lawyered up,

254
00:13:20,759 --> 00:13:22,679
They've gone and got a lawyer. And this is before

255
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,879
he ever even sued them. Geez, thanks Mom and Dad.

256
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,159
And so now he wants to know what's going on.

257
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,279
You know, whenever you want to see the books and

258
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:36,039
someone won't let you see the books, that's a problem.

259
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:41,320
And he claims that he three million dollars has been misappropriated,

260
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,159
and he's going after mom and dad. Thanksgiving dinner is

261
00:13:44,159 --> 00:13:45,720
not going to be a good time next year.

262
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: Goodness graces, you feel like, you know, you get your

263
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,600
mom and dad involved to help manage your finance, because

264
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:53,360
those are the people that you can trust. But not

265
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,200
so fast. I mean, what do you do you know,

266
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,879
who do you turn to to help man money?

267
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 4: They're you turned into someone independent that has piduciary duties, Yeah,

268
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,159
because you know they have piduciations and they're part of

269
00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:11,159
an organization, and suing them is going to be, you know,

270
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,000
easier to collect from him. You know, I don't know.

271
00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:17,279
I think sometimes moms parents, and we've seen this happen

272
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,559
with a lot of athletes. They you know, they've dedicated

273
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,960
themselves to their kids reaching high levels, and I think

274
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,360
sometimes they think when their kids reach that high level,

275
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:29,879
it's like it's cashcow time, you know, and it's just uh,

276
00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:32,679
you know, the land of milk and honey, and we

277
00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:35,840
got you there, we supported you, we sacrificed for you,

278
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:38,440
and so now it's time. So you know, this one

279
00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:41,200
is not above board though. They're doing some things that

280
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:47,080
are behind the scenes and a little bit concealed scandalous

281
00:14:47,159 --> 00:14:48,399
leg Well, I.

282
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,159
Speaker 2: Mean, if you're not willing to give like passwords and

283
00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:52,279
stuff like that, I felt that interesting. But yeah, it

284
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,559
is what it is. Uh, march maddness ten years in

285
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,039
one lawsuit later. How about the villain Villanova's Chris Jenkins

286
00:14:59,039 --> 00:15:02,639
calling his icon bitter Sweet? What's the ladies here?

287
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, And we we've actually seen a lot of these

288
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,440
types of lawsuits over the past couple of years, right,

289
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,360
former college athletes who did not get a chance to

290
00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:16,039
cash in on the current nil world that we live in,

291
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,799
and so they've tried to bring lawsuits to capitalize on that.

292
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:21,919
And this one in particular, we thought we'd bring up.

293
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,639
We've all been watching, you know, the highlight from from

294
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,799
last weekend of Yukon Braylan Mullins right making that incredible

295
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:32,519
three pointer at the buzzer, and that is encapsulates, right,

296
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,679
March Madness. And one of the other most famous shots

297
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:39,159
here we're talking about is this Chris Jenkins from Villanova.

298
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,639
They beat Carolina ten years ago for the championship and

299
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,200
he made the buzzer beater three pointer, right, And I

300
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,960
just was going to read his quote, a quote that

301
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,679
he had made recently where he said, I've never been

302
00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:54,639
compensated in any way for making that shot. It seems

303
00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:57,559
like everybody has benefited from the shot except the guy

304
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,960
who made it. And part of that is, you know,

305
00:16:01,039 --> 00:16:03,799
he's saying, hey, it raised the profile of the university.

306
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:08,840
They you know, probably built a new you know, facilities

307
00:16:08,879 --> 00:16:13,360
and donations and things like that that that come with this. Right.

308
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:17,279
I mean, he's a legend at Villanova and in college basketball.

309
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,440
I mean, he's got that. But he's saying that hasn't

310
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,399
translated into money and they've profited off it, but he

311
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,519
has not. So anyway, long story short, he did bring

312
00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:30,440
that case and and it was dismissed, but it was

313
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,600
dismissed on the grounds that he brought the case too

314
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,679
late and that it's passed the statute limitations.

315
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:41,039
Speaker 2: So anyway, what is the statute of limitations? Then what

316
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,240
is the ruling on that.

317
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,879
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know what it is in Pennsylvania, which

318
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,279
I don't know if that's where the venue is where

319
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,240
this was brought. I mean, the the n C double

320
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,399
A was a and I believe all these conferences were

321
00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:01,279
defendants in this case. I mean, but I mean it certainly.

322
00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:03,320
I don't know what it is. But less than ten

323
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:07,000
years ago when he made the shot, you know, we

324
00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:09,680
did see. We've talked about the I think the nineteen

325
00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:12,359
eighty three NC State Wolfpack team, a lot of them,

326
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,599
including thorough Bailey, you know, had brought a case like

327
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,799
this and I can't remember what happened to that. Maybe

328
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:23,839
Preston Nose. But yeah, these are old claims.

329
00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:27,079
Speaker 2: Old the Statute of limitations. Got to get after it

330
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,119
right quick or else the Statute of Limitations comes quickly.

331
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:34,440
Let's finish off a little Tiger Woods update. Was arrested

332
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,200
on duy jailed, crashed his car, rolled it over. It

333
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,480
sounds like he's entering rehab as well. Give us the

334
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:43,240
latest on Tiger Woods.

335
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you haven't heard this, you've been

336
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,759
living under a rock. Just briefly, Tiger Woods driving last week.

337
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:54,839
I think Jupiter Island Florida. He hit the back of

338
00:17:54,839 --> 00:17:59,839
a trailer, rolled his suv. Cop show up. They checked,

339
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,880
he's acting not right, so they run a number of

340
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,440
field sobriety tests. They claim that he was stumbling around

341
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,880
and his eyes were glazed over, his pupils were dilated.

342
00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:15,599
They concluded that based on this, he was impaired, and

343
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,200
he was arrested and taken. He was in and they

344
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,480
did a blood alcohol test and it was zero point zero,

345
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:25,440
and they asked for a urine test and he refused it.

346
00:18:25,519 --> 00:18:28,400
So he was charged with a separate crime in Florida.

347
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,640
That is a separate climb when they're requesting a lawful

348
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,119
test and you refuse it. So not only does he

349
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,960
have a DUI charge, he has a refusal to submit

350
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,759
to a test, which interesting. I looked at this up.

351
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:45,880
This is a recent Florida case and it says that

352
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:51,000
based on oh, I might have lost oh. Here it is.

353
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:54,200
It says under the revised law, drivers who refuse a

354
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,359
breath or urine tests face a second degree misdemeanor charge.

355
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,680
He's been charged with that and automatic like one year

356
00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:04,799
driver's life suspension. Automatic sounds like that's not negotiable, which

357
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,880
everyone thinks that's probably a good thing for him not

358
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,440
to be driving anymore and up to sixty days in jail. Well,

359
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:14,400
he has entered in appearance with a lawyer at the arraignment.

360
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,519
The lawyer entered a Tiger didn't show up, you can

361
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,359
do that. He entered a plea of not guilty and

362
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,440
requested a jury trial in his defense. And as part

363
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,960
of it, I think it's a good thing. The judge

364
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,720
agreed that Tiger could enter rehab and it's been reported

365
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,119
that he's going to do that outside the country. You know,

366
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,079
with all the eyes on Tiger, that's a good thing.

367
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,960
You know, Tiger being one of the most influential sport

368
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,000
figures in history, you know, and eyes on him. Everyone's

369
00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:45,400
hoping that he just gets things right.

370
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: Well, you hate having to see stars going to rehab, right,

371
00:19:51,759 --> 00:19:55,759
but Puka Nakua has entered rehab after being in the limelight,

372
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:59,160
the negative limelight multiple times over the last I don't know,

373
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,319
few months, and so, you know, I know he's been

374
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:07,359
accused in civil court of maybe even some sort of

375
00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:09,640
you know, I can't remember what the accusation was, but

376
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,720
biting someone. But anyway, latest on Pooka, what do you

377
00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:13,400
have for us there.

378
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is the biting case. I mean, it's pretty

379
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,599
crazy that that's the allegation, but you know, that's what

380
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,279
it is. We talked about that the other day. But

381
00:20:23,319 --> 00:20:27,960
I you know, I think the update here is that he's,

382
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,119
you know, very publicly is doing this, is going into rehab,

383
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,000
and his attorney came out with a statement that I

384
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:36,720
thought was pretty transparent, talking about some of his off

385
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,119
the field struggles and that he's trying to get things

386
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,640
right in his life, which kudos to him and hope

387
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,119
he succeeds. But the comment that he made is he says, hey, look,

388
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,160
don't jump to conclusions here. This is not because of

389
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,319
this civil case. These are these things are not related.

390
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,200
He was planning on doing this anyway, but this is

391
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,279
just a timing thing, and so don't conflate these two issues. Obviously,

392
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,119
is going to continue to fight the civil case, and

393
00:21:04,519 --> 00:21:06,640
I'm sure that's something we'll be talking about with you

394
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,400
guys in the future.

offensive or defensive lineman in that trench warfare game, breaks

501
00:25:49,279 --> 00:25:50,960
get out to the hotline welcome in the one the

502
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,039
only representing BYU Sports Nation BAU TV. We got Jerem

503
00:25:55,079 --> 00:25:56,960
Jordan on the line. Jerem, how the heck are you.

504
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 5: Buddy tribe of Benjamin, How are we doing?

505
00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: Doing good and feeling strong? Feeling like my lineage is strong.

506
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,559
I got a baby doo in May, so I have

507
00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:07,519
a third on the way baby, So I'm trying to

508
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:11,400
multiply and now replenish this earth with some criticle and

509
00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:12,759
Benjamin lineage.

510
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 5: My first kid, Venice's twelve, she is a May baby,

511
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:19,720
and so yeah, I'm all about it, dude, I love it.

512
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,759
Speaker 2: It was there good. Is there good biochemistry with babies

513
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:24,720
in May? I don't know. I haven't had one.

514
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 5: Well, they say, when you marry in June, your bride

515
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,319
all your life. That's seven brides for seven brothers. Just

516
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,640
drop a little culture on you.

517
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: I love. I love to learn something new always with

518
00:26:35,559 --> 00:26:39,279
Jerem Jordan. Jerem, let's recap if we can the women's

519
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:41,680
basketball season. The only team to make it deep into

520
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,279
a postseason run. They get to the wb IT Championship game,

521
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:49,640
they fall short. Columbia just too much firepower for them

522
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,599
and they came short. Maybe defensively, But give me your

523
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,480
overall eval of this women's basketball team and what they

524
00:26:56,519 --> 00:26:57,640
were able to accomplish this year.

525
00:26:58,599 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 5: It was really really good. It was above expectation. I

526
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,480
didn't think that this team would make the tourney. They

527
00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:05,480
almost did. They were the first team out.

528
00:27:05,759 --> 00:27:06,279
Speaker 4: They make a.

529
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,319
Speaker 5: Run in the wvit to the championship game, and they

530
00:27:09,319 --> 00:27:13,759
get a ton of confidence. They continue the chemistry they

531
00:27:13,759 --> 00:27:16,359
started to get. The team really really enjoys each other.

532
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,640
They're going to retain most of the team. Mariah Hudgens

533
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,799
did jump in the portal today, but she's kind of

534
00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:24,200
the only rotational piece grant that she was injured that

535
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,359
I expect to kind of bounce everyone else. I think

536
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,240
is probably going to say, You've got great, great backcourt,

537
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,200
especially led by Delaney Gibb who's a superstar, and then

538
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,279
a Levy Hamlin was tremendous as a freshman sitting Banali,

539
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,000
and then you have Brinley Cannon and Camrie Barber and

540
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:43,759
then oh, by the way, Kaylie Wilson, the best three

541
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:46,920
point shooter in America, is back from a mission to Baltimore.

542
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,960
She returned in December. She red shirted and was practicing

543
00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:54,240
getting back in shape this semester, and so they need

544
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,599
a scoring big in the portal to replace their center Laderrocal,

545
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,920
who was a senior who just finished up. But I'm

546
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,119
very excited about this group. Lee Comar did a great job.

547
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:05,640
Twenty six wings of the most by any first year

548
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,440
head coach in Buoy history. Granted when Juddy you know,

549
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,480
had his first year, they went to the Sweet sixteen,

550
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:14,640
so that's hard to top. But Lee's awesome. The group's awesome,

551
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,400
and I can't wait. I think there's a real palpable

552
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,039
excitement about this team going in next year.

553
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was discussing this yesterday with Darnell Dixon and

554
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,079
I was like, man, how did that Lee? You wonder

555
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,480
where this women's basketball team would have been had Lee

556
00:28:29,559 --> 00:28:32,680
been the head coach this first go around as we

557
00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:35,119
entered into the Big twelve. Why didn't Lee get it

558
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,920
the first go round? Was it just due to maybe inexperience.

559
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,920
He was coming from the men's team over to the

560
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,039
women's team and there was a little bit of a

561
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,880
maybe some trialing to see if he could fit into

562
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:46,319
that role.

563
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,359
Speaker 5: Kylo Ren said let the pass die. So I don't

564
00:28:51,359 --> 00:28:53,839
know if that's what we should do in this situation.

565
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna I'm always in ready, I'm always like,

566
00:28:57,519 --> 00:29:01,720
what if, why not let's into the past. Oh, just

567
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,960
just just talk about where we made mistakes. I do

568
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:07,519
that every day, every single day here on sports radio.

569
00:29:08,359 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 5: Well, no mistakes have ever been made. No, just kidding.

570
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:13,920
You're you're right, like you know you think back right

571
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,960
now and you go, well, wait a minute. I think

572
00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:19,920
sometimes it's okay to to do something a little different.

573
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,039
And b YU at the time got coach Whiting who

574
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,400
was very successful AU coach and had connections at that level.

575
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,519
And you know, BYU was recruiting at a high level.

576
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:32,400
Remember Delaney Gabbs signed under the previous regime, and you

577
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,920
know there there was talent to be had there. Unfortunately

578
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,599
it didn't come together. And Lee Comard's the guy now

579
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,000
and now you move on from there. And you know,

580
00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:43,119
Nancy Warner was an interesting prospect potentially at a lone

581
00:29:43,119 --> 00:29:45,799
peak as well, and so it's good to have multiple

582
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,240
kind of options there. But I think boy has the

583
00:29:48,279 --> 00:29:50,839
right person at the right time, and that's really important.

584
00:29:50,839 --> 00:29:53,839
We've seen that with football and Killanie and what you

585
00:29:53,839 --> 00:29:56,359
can kind of maintain as a group and get going

586
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,920
over the next couple of years. And when it's when

587
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,480
it's football and men's basket, well it's very much like okay,

588
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,519
year to year, we've got to retain we've got to

589
00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:07,079
bring in pieces that makes sense dot in the quote

590
00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:10,119
unquote Olympic sports, of which we're kind of talking about

591
00:30:10,119 --> 00:30:13,319
women's basketball. It's not an NIO conversation year to year,

592
00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:15,960
it's do these people want to play at this school

593
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,480
and for that coach and I think there's real continuity

594
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:22,400
in chemistry of people that like Lee, like the staff,

595
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,839
want to be at BYU, And I think right now

596
00:30:24,839 --> 00:30:26,880
it's a really nice group. The next year I expect

597
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,440
to make DANC Tournament and hopefully do some damage as

598
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,480
they get more experienced, because they did have a bunch

599
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:32,799
of freshmen and soppways this year.

600
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,119
Speaker 2: Let's turn the page to Camp Kilani twenty twenty six

601
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,079
Spring football, shall we? What did we learn about BYU

602
00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:44,319
football in Camp Koalani twenty twenty six springball? You know,

603
00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:48,359
the conversations like the questions that we had broached or

604
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,759
we had posed prior to kicking off spring football was

605
00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:54,559
you know, things like who's RB two, Who's RB three?

606
00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:57,079
What does that depth look like? Who's wide receiver one?

607
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,079
What does the wide receiver room look like? Who's going

608
00:30:59,119 --> 00:31:01,400
to step up? Show up? Show out? Are we going

609
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,759
to be a twelve personnel team with these new tight ends,

610
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:07,720
et cetera? Are starting offensive line up in the air?

611
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:10,599
Maybe some question marks there? What does the defense look

612
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,519
like under Kelly Papinga? And what is it that they're

613
00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:15,480
going to do well? What changes will be made? Those

614
00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:19,039
are just a few of the comments that that maybe

615
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:23,000
we we we were we were debating prior to kicking

616
00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:24,759
it off. What did we learn though? What were some

617
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:26,359
of the questions that you had answered?

618
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,559
Speaker 5: How many semi collins were in that setup? And is

619
00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:33,279
that the most questions ever asked in a question? I

620
00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:35,920
love it. I couldn't possibly answer all of them. I

621
00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:36,599
love it.

622
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, no, So like I did like a tweet, right,

623
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,480
I executed a seat a zeat and there was like

624
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:47,839
eight questions that I needed to have answered during springball,

625
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:50,079
and I just I only gave you four, baby, I

626
00:31:50,119 --> 00:31:51,920
only gave you four. Okay, that's four.

627
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 5: Way, there were at least six to seven there. Let's

628
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:59,119
go though, let's atack it. I love it. I think

629
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,200
they love that it's kind of all quiet on the

630
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,319
Western front, like you don't know, you don't know what's

631
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:08,960
going down the pipe. Like before last year, Kline Satake

632
00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:12,319
felt very confident the team would be way better than

633
00:32:12,319 --> 00:32:16,920
people thought because remember when Jake Retzlov leaves, all of

634
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,960
a sudden, the expectation is this plummet because you just

635
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,480
don't know who the quarterback is. And then when Bear's quarterback,

636
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:25,359
you know, a true freshman quarterback just hasn't There's been

637
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,400
like four dudes in the last twenty five years of

638
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,440
college football that have led their team to ten plus

639
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,240
wins as a true freshman, and then Bearby comes the fifth.

640
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,920
I mean, it was crazy, but Kilani felt super confident. Quietly,

641
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,039
he didn't want to stay it out loud. He's he's

642
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:43,880
told me off like, hey, Lavelle Edwards with several you know,

643
00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:46,759
very good teams, like we knew, we knew as a group.

644
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
I think this group has that vibe again where they

645
00:32:49,039 --> 00:32:52,640
expect to be ten plus win kind of vibes. They

646
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,680
expect to be in the mix in the Big twelve.

647
00:32:54,759 --> 00:32:57,200
They expect to hopefully make the COLLG Football Playoff. But

648
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,559
I think there's a maturity about this group. Ben no

649
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:03,279
one saying that out loud. They're just gonna do it.

650
00:33:03,359 --> 00:33:06,000
They're not gonna say it. I tell my kids all

651
00:33:06,039 --> 00:33:09,000
the time, don't tell me, like show me. I think

652
00:33:09,039 --> 00:33:11,599
this team is doing that right now, and they're quietly

653
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,079
having a great camp. Certain guys are getting healthy. Certain

654
00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:18,400
position battles are playing out that will bleed into even fall.

655
00:33:18,519 --> 00:33:21,720
I think the transfers that be what you got are

656
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,400
so specifically important at each of those positions that it

657
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,039
will be highly unlikely that even one or two of

658
00:33:30,079 --> 00:33:32,920
them don't contribute a bunch. You know what I mean.

659
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,079
If you come in as a transfer, we expect you

660
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,200
to contribute on this team. And yet there were probably

661
00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:42,359
more freshman contributors about to be involved on this team

662
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,000
than we've seen in a long time. I'm excited about

663
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,160
Braxton Lindsay as an edge rusher. I'm excited about Keenan

664
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,640
Poola at safety in his future. I'm excited about Devon

665
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,839
Ekam maybe being RB three. Does Bot Mulutalo fit into

666
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,519
the too deep? How about a receiver legend? Glasger is

667
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:04,319
a name that keeps being brought up. Jared Poula, Terrence

668
00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:08,320
sorry on these guys could factor in. So I think

669
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,800
it's been a great spring ball. There's no spring portal,

670
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,519
so you don't have to worry about guys bouncing, which

671
00:34:12,559 --> 00:34:15,239
is great. This is the squad they only expect, by

672
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,480
the way, to add just a couple of guys off missions.

673
00:34:17,519 --> 00:34:19,559
Like I'm looking to the rosters that I've put together.

674
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,800
Three dudes off missions, one freshman. This is a group

675
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:26,360
that's going to be here this fall, and it's got

676
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,559
a maturity about it, a confidence, an execution SIONI moh

677
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:32,519
is getting healthy for RB two, he told me the

678
00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:34,480
other day. Is feeling one hundred percent, which is great

679
00:34:34,519 --> 00:34:37,920
after the compartment syndrome thing. So I don't think I

680
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,679
answered every one of those questions, but I do think

681
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,639
that we should expect BOI.

682
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 2: To be good.

683
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,039
Speaker 5: Now they do have to graduate to the people expect

684
00:34:46,039 --> 00:34:48,239
you to be good, and you are good face. There

685
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,920
have not been too many years been in boy history

686
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,079
that we can say they were expected to be a

687
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:55,400
double digit win team and they did. It's it's more

688
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:56,360
rare than you would think.

689
00:34:57,079 --> 00:35:01,639
Speaker 2: So you're saying there's a pride cycle that cooks cooks

690
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,280
up in the Cougar Nation every now and again huh.

691
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 5: Well, and it's external expectations sometimes too, Like you can

692
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,400
look at even men's hoops, it's like, why are we

693
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,559
so disappointed? Because the expectations were externally high? People were

694
00:35:14,559 --> 00:35:16,440
telling us it was a final four team. Not We

695
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,039
didn't say it was a Final four team until they did.

696
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,719
This isn't Loan Peak three. When Loan Peak three happened,

697
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,440
we were the ones going internally right. We were going, hey,

698
00:35:24,519 --> 00:35:26,320
there's a chance to like do what we haven't done,

699
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,360
which is a Final four. Nope, it's external and so

700
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:33,119
I'm stoked man. And to pick it a couple of

701
00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:36,400
the questions, Yes, twelve personnel, I think boy runs out

702
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,320
all the time. You got to get Roger Sali Pig

703
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,039
and Walker lines on the field, especially with an unproven

704
00:35:41,079 --> 00:35:44,760
group at receiver. Although they are confident Kyler Casper apparently

705
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,639
is a player that they expect to contribute in a

706
00:35:47,639 --> 00:35:50,840
big way. Obviously sixty six, but like he's not just

707
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,079
a stiff dude who catches faith, he can get in

708
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:57,000
and out of breaks. They love the opportunity that he

709
00:35:57,039 --> 00:36:01,639
could be something with healthy feet. Four years at Oregon,

710
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,960
only six catches were hoping for the Alex Barcelo principle, Right,

711
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:06,840
You didn't do much of Arizona to come here. You

712
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,800
contribute different sport, but same idea.

713
00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:13,039
Speaker 2: Love that Jerem Jordan talking some Cougar football here on

714
00:36:13,079 --> 00:36:15,519
your Utah ESPN Radio network. Look like I think you

715
00:36:15,559 --> 00:36:18,480
bring up a really good point about there's an expectation

716
00:36:18,599 --> 00:36:23,239
externally and even internally for a great year and then

717
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,079
you fall short. I do think after twenty sixteen like

718
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,519
there was a little bit of comfort there. There was

719
00:36:29,559 --> 00:36:31,559
a little bit of complacency, and you had the worst

720
00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:34,559
season in maybe b ORU football history in twenty seventeen.

721
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,920
It was bad, it was ugly man and then you

722
00:36:38,039 --> 00:36:42,079
got back to your talent and development. You had some

723
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:47,159
above average to average seasons. Twenty twenty hit remarkable season

724
00:36:47,159 --> 00:36:49,599
eleven to one, then you go ten and three with

725
00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:52,119
that little dip on the back end versus UAB. But

726
00:36:52,159 --> 00:36:54,679
twenty twenty two you had much of your returning talent

727
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,400
and a lot of NFL talent in that twenty twenty

728
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,119
two roster, and you were number I believe are number

729
00:37:01,159 --> 00:37:05,920
two or number one in returning production in college football

730
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,760
per ESPN's sp plus metric. Bill Conley put it out there.

731
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,880
So when I had Bill Conley on the show, he

732
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,039
was super duper high on this BYU Cougar football team.

733
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,199
Lone Behold. You had some quarterback issues, Jacob Conover was

734
00:37:19,199 --> 00:37:20,679
about to get the start vers in Notre Dame, and

735
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,679
still you trot it out. Instead, you tried it out

736
00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:27,159
a seventy percent healthy Jaron Hall, and you lost a

737
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:29,519
Notre Dame. You lost a lot of games after that

738
00:37:29,599 --> 00:37:32,159
and finally made it right with maybe a bold victory

739
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,360
versus SMU. But like, the expectations were super high for

740
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,480
that talented team, and there was a bit of a

741
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,960
pride cycle externally maybe internally, I feel like this year,

742
00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:44,679
coming off of two double digit win seasons eleven and

743
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,159
two and twelve and two, and you're a top twenty

744
00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:52,440
team in returning production in college football, I'm hoping fingers

745
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,119
Cross is not another dip here. But what makes you

746
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,920
optimistic that there won't be a dip like Unto twenty

747
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,119
twenty two and un two twenty seventeen.

748
00:38:02,199 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 5: I just think, buys, you know, it's year four of

749
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,880
being in the Big twelve. I think I think BoA's weathered.

750
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,039
I think they've got the right you know, strength and

751
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:13,280
conditioning staff. I think they've got a tremendous football staff.

752
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,920
You've got the right head coach. You have an offensive

753
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,519
coordinator with a ton of experience. Kelly Pepingka has been

754
00:38:19,519 --> 00:38:20,400
waiting for this moment.

755
00:38:20,519 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 6: Now he gets the chance.

756
00:38:21,519 --> 00:38:23,519
Speaker 5: That's a big question mark is like will the defense

757
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:26,039
be close to us good or could they be better?

758
00:38:26,079 --> 00:38:28,239
You know, they've been really good the last two years,

759
00:38:28,679 --> 00:38:30,800
so that's kind of my biggest question mark still. But

760
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,119
like the idea that Baron Bachmeyer would regress, you hope

761
00:38:34,159 --> 00:38:36,400
not because he was just getting his feet wet man

762
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,880
and he had a thirty five, one hundred and twenty

763
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,480
six touchdown season when he was just barely figuring it out.

764
00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:45,480
He hasn't had a spring until right now at BYU.

765
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:47,800
He was at the Stanford last year. Like that can

766
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,800
only help. You have one of the best running backs

767
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,880
you always ever had, an LJ.

768
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 6: Martin.

769
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,519
Speaker 5: He might be the all time living rusher by the

770
00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:55,679
end of the season. And no dude has ever led

771
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,920
by you four years in a row in rushing. You've

772
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,519
got continuity on the offensive line. You brought in some

773
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,760
real hogs there. Pocky f Now could be really good

774
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,400
at left tackle, and then Kyle Safarchok's been kind of

775
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,679
in and out of the lineup as a depthyece. He's

776
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,559
probably a starter at one of the guard spots. Bruce

777
00:39:11,639 --> 00:39:14,880
Mitchell was a top ten rated center in college football

778
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,000
from PFF. Andrew Gentryes a national champion who did a

779
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,840
really nice job last year. You bring in two Big

780
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,480
ten tight ends, not to mention, you got some good

781
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,119
talent behind him wide receiver. You got some good young

782
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:31,119
talent there. Defense. You know, backers, Kadu Luave is really special.

783
00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:35,000
Isaiah Glasker's back Like corners. You have Evan Johnson and

784
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:38,440
tre Alexander back raiders, Mooney Foala, Tels Satswala might have

785
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,920
the highest ceiling of any player on this team. At safety.

786
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,119
There's just a bunch of dudes like Byu has good

787
00:39:45,199 --> 00:39:48,280
enough talent to compete again in the in the Big Twelve.

788
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,320
Doesn't mean they're gonna win the Big Twelve. They shouldn't

789
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,920
be the favorite, but they should be in the top

790
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,599
three by the end of the season for sure, and

791
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:54,480
in the mix.

792
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. Jerem Jordan talking some Cougar football

793
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,199
here on your Utah e ESPN Radio Network I do

794
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,760
want to transition a little bit and talk about Cougar's

795
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,480
in the pros. How many draft picks will come out

796
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,639
of BYU do you think from this NFL group? And

797
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,920
how many high priority undrafted free agents are you expecting

798
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,280
to sign in and not just we're not talking mini caamp.

799
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,159
We're talking undrafted free agent deals where they're getting some payment,

800
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,480
they're getting some bonus structure, et cetera. What do you

801
00:40:24,519 --> 00:40:25,960
make of it? What do you see?

802
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm hoping that Jack Kelly is picked.

803
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:30,519
Speaker 8: I am hoping.

804
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 5: I think you will be Chase Roberts kind of TVD right,

805
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:37,719
like he improved his forty into the five four five, Sorry,

806
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,480
five four would be terrible, four or fives would be awesome.

807
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:45,159
And then more Bob I helped himself a ton by

808
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,280
running a four to two or someone had time to

809
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,559
four one nine, and so man, that's crazy. So hopefully

810
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:57,239
those three guys are are either drafted. Jack Kelly should

811
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,239
be drafted period, although if it's too shoulder, is there

812
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,000
a little too much for teams to handle? I would

813
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,639
think that one team wants him for sure.

814
00:41:04,119 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 4: Tanner Wall is.

815
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,199
Speaker 5: An intriguing prospect too. He had great numbers, and so

816
00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:10,400
I think Tanner Wall is going to be in the mix.

817
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,639
I wonder if Phil Farron gets an opportunity and then

818
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,119
Isaiah got away to the law astome like he used

819
00:41:16,119 --> 00:41:18,039
to have a chance to the next level, I think,

820
00:41:18,159 --> 00:41:20,679
And then I think we talked about it recently. Karrisen

821
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,840
Grives put on a show like he could be the

822
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,360
next John Denny of like a long tenured.

823
00:41:25,159 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 8: NFL guy if someone gives them a chance, because physically

824
00:41:28,639 --> 00:41:32,360
that guy is in an incredible spot. And then you know,

825
00:41:32,679 --> 00:41:35,639
you hope Jake Repsloffs one of these like journeyman third

826
00:41:35,679 --> 00:41:38,280
string dudes that gets a chance who knows you know,

827
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,760
all the time, like the third straight quarterbacks on NFL

828
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,920
rosters always make me laugh. I'm like, why have we

829
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,800
never heard of these guys? It's always some remote random dude.

830
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,840
I'm like, why can't Jake Ripsloff be that guy who knows?

831
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:50,840
So yeah, I think there'll be.

832
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 5: A handful of guys that can opportunity Carson Ryan. I

833
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,679
forgot to mention. I think Carson Ryan could be a

834
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,800
guy that is an undrafted free agent with an opportunity

835
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,840
where they go, oh, this guy, good hands, he can

836
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,039
block like he's super physically. He wants to be in

837
00:42:03,039 --> 00:42:05,320
the fight. Here, got a great mustache, you know, looks

838
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,519
like Dave Grohl from the School Fighters, Like we need

839
00:42:07,519 --> 00:42:07,920
this guy.

840
00:42:08,119 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 8: So I think there's a handful of dudes.

841
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 5: Is there kind of top end, high high talent for

842
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,519
YU in this particular draft? I would already know, because

843
00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:17,159
you need like a Day one or two guy to

844
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,559
kind of argue that or at least multiple. But I

845
00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:22,360
think there's a handful of dudes in a couple of

846
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,480
years will go Yeah. These three to five guys who

847
00:42:24,519 --> 00:42:27,119
like had a three plus year NFL career.

848
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,039
Speaker 2: Love to break down Jerem Jordan, Ladies and gentlemen, talking

849
00:42:31,039 --> 00:42:36,199
to Cougar Football, Cougar Basketball real quick. Where you at

850
00:42:36,199 --> 00:42:40,320
with this off season the transfer portal? What is it

851
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,320
that BYU basketball is going to be looking for in

852
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,199
the portal? How much of the current roster that he's

853
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:49,920
not ultimately graduating going into the NBA professional ranks going

854
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:50,719
to be retained?

855
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,119
Speaker 5: I would think about half. That's kind of my guess

856
00:42:54,119 --> 00:42:56,960
on what ends up happening, not only from a bou

857
00:42:57,039 --> 00:42:58,719
wants them to stay, but maybe they want to move

858
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,760
on kind of standpoint. But yeah, I think UY will

859
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,119
do a good job of retaining certain pieces that they

860
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:07,199
can make fit and then go get in the portal.

861
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:08,840
Go get a big that can score. Go get a

862
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,559
couple of wings that can shoot the three. That's always important, obviously.

863
00:43:13,639 --> 00:43:17,519
Kevin Young after the Texas game said, hey, shooters are

864
00:43:17,559 --> 00:43:20,519
the holy grail. You need guys that can create for

865
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,039
you need to retain Robert's third. I think he's kind

866
00:43:23,039 --> 00:43:25,960
of your anchor point, and then you build around him.

867
00:43:26,199 --> 00:43:28,119
This is good LDS talent of the portal. I'd be

868
00:43:28,119 --> 00:43:31,840
interested to see if Yu and these guys can't connect

869
00:43:32,039 --> 00:43:35,400
and see if this works. And then obviously, you know,

870
00:43:36,199 --> 00:43:38,039
let's make a run at this again. And you got

871
00:43:38,039 --> 00:43:41,320
some real good talent coming in with a great signing class,

872
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,840
and I think people are gonna be excited again. There

873
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,840
won't be kind of final four talk, I don't think,

874
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,679
but it'll be like, Okay, you don't just make the tourney,

875
00:43:48,679 --> 00:43:51,119
you win in a tourney, and hopefully if you can

876
00:43:51,119 --> 00:43:53,039
get to the point where every couple of years they're

877
00:43:53,039 --> 00:43:55,599
going to a Sweet sixteen. I think the talent's increased

878
00:43:55,639 --> 00:43:57,559
to the point where we hopefully can get to that

879
00:43:57,599 --> 00:43:59,559
point it was there this year injuries.

880
00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:04,079
