  Speaker 3: Do you ever play music?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Were you ever an instrumentalist of any kind of years?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: You Taughtta what I was using? I know you love music.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Well, things have changed.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: I mean like in Jersey City growing up, if you
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: walked home with a musical instrument, I mean some another kid,
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: would you know?
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Beat the heck? That wasn't It's different where I grew
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: up was different.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: And we realize that that's also in the book. By
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: the way, never stopped new book. We're going to talk
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit more about that, but we're still on
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the roster thing. Let's talk about recruiting freshman Braylen Mullins,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: great player out of Indiana and Eric Riba, who we
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: got to see you against BC.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Both of those guys.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Uh So, the characteristics of guys young guys, you know,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: they got talent. Obviously you're not going to mess around
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: with recruiting them if they don't have, you know, high
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: level talent.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: But what other qualities do you need from guys like that?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: So you know, they got to fit the way that yeah,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: that we want to play, right, they got to be
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: a system fit. They got to be smart, you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: they because because we do a lot of both ends
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: of the court. It's a you know, like there's a
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: lot of chance, there's a lot of opportunities to these
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: guys to make plays on the court and improvise. But
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: we play, you know, with relatively a high amount of
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: structure and what we're trying to do. So got to
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: be able to process the game. You gotta be able
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: to read things. You gotta be able to remember things,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: got to be able to understand concepts.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: So they have to be smart. They have to love
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But don't most guys say they love the game.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: No, you could tell if they love the game or
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: don't talk in the game. I mean, you watch film
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I do want to visit for an hour and you
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: see who's lost interest within ten minutes. You know when
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: you lose interest something in ten minutes. You don't love it,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: not the way that we love it, not the way
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I love it, not the way Cam Spencer loves it,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: not the way Snogo and Andre Jackson love it. So
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: you know, and then you you you so yeah, I
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: mean do they share because if the person that you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: if I care. You know, if I'm obsessing over something
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: at the maximum level and I'm in an organization with
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: somebody that just likes it, there's gonna be a lot
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: of conflict there. You know, there's gonna be resentment. So yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: you've got to be on our level relative to the
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: commitment that's going to be necessary. And then at you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: at that point, you just start looking around at parents.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: You know, are they gonna think you you know, has
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: the guy been coached? Is he coming in with a
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: baseline of understanding where you're not starting? You know, he
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: doesn't have like a third grade ringing level relative to basketball,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: like he's he's got an understanding and a baseline of things.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean it's you know, there's a kid
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: on his phone on the visit, you know, like you're
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: at meals and you're spend so much time together. When
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: you get around there, you know, are they going to
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: bring something to the relationship or you're going to have
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: to drag them through your program?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: You know, like things like that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You can't miss either, right, I mean you got to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you have a short time to really assess this.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: No, because we don't bring I mean, we're only moving
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: forward we're going to bring in one or two, maybe
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: three freshmen in a class that maybe one may be
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: a starter, another may be an impact player meeting like
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: a top seven, top eight rotation player that's going to
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: get real minutes. But then the third guy is, you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: it's going to be fighting for his life to get
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: on the court. You can't play that many freshmen in
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: today's college basketball, so you've got to insulate your freshman
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: the way we did with Steph Cassel, you know, insulate
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: the you know, the freshman, the way we did with
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Donovan Klingen and Alex as freshman. We didn't do as
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: good a job of that for Liam McNeely, you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: and I think we did a much better job of
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: that for Braylin, And then we'll do a much better
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: job of that hypothetically if anyone else has committed to
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: our school in the future class.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Eric Raibo the other day, left hander, seven footer. Maybe
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: folks saw them. I saw him, we were at the arena.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We saw him. He looks like he has a huge upside.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, this guy's can be and it just it
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: hasn't been good for Tarist to miss so much time
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: because part of why Tarris played you know, so much
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: better at Yukon than he did at Michigan. Was because
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: of you know the practice, like the work in the summer,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: you know, these twenty hour weeks that we're in with
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: the team on the court. Now, like that's where he
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: made a big jump and became so much more efficient
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: and better than he was at Michigan. So but Taris
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: being out has allowed us just to like really zero
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: in on Eric, and Eric's been put in uncomfortable positions,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: which you know, starting to Boston College exhibition, not having
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Taris to lead on the way Donovan did with Adama.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, Donovan used to be able to come into
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: a game and play against the center that had been
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: just beat the hell by Adama. So now then Donovan
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: comes on the court. This just got you know, destroyed
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: by a Doma. That guy's battered, and now here comes Donovan,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: whereas Eric now is getting the opportunity to get like
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: the Michigan State experience that he's going to get on
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Tuesday night at at the People's Bank.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to get used to that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so's he's he's going to be special though
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: he's very skilled. This guy has not missed a practice.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: You know, he's seven foot so he's a big guy.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: It was just there's so much to learn at that position.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: There's so much to learn at center and point guard.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: So but this guy. I believe so much of what
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: this guy is going to become. And he's in a
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: perfect situation. You know, support taris number one. We're gonna
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: get tariffs back in the court. And then number two.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Once once Eric is able to be that Donovan freshman
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: as a sophomore, Eric will be able to like, it'll
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: be his thing, and then and then let's go.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And Riba didn't look like he got discouraged the other night.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: A couple of.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Things went wrong for him, missed a layup or two.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: He didn't hang his head. I mean, he was just
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: right back at her. He knows like that, Yeah, he knows.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: He missed more than two layups. We covered it all
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: over the course the next couple of days. But he
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: he doesn't blank. You know, he doesn't blank.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: The guy comes from a great you know, great great family,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: great parents. His mom's a firefighter, I mean, you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Martinez a firefighter in Switzerland.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: He's from Jerremany.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: They moved there, so he just comes from really good people,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: and the guy's gonna be an excellent player. And for
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: an opening night there, I thought he handled himself really well.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: And Tuesday night, though, it's gonna be it's gonna be
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: a tough challenge for him versus like a Big ten
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: team that's that physical, So that'll be just a great preparation.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: That was a mistake we made last year. We didn't
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: play hard enough exhibitions. So then when we got to
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: those non conference games where we saw Memphis for the
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: first time and we didn't play harder exhibition games, that
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: hurt us early.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Right, No, that's not going to happen this year, all right,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Dan Hurley with us back in just a moment. The
• 7:18
