0:45
Welcome back to the boundary Corner podcast.
0:48
My name is Curtis Wilson along with my co-host Ryan Siegel.
0:52
What's up buddy? How you been big birthday?
1:05
Count thought I wasn't going to do anything but just chill
1:08
around the house. Brother-in-law hits me up.
1:10
Hey, let's go play a round of golf I'm like, hey, if your mom
1:15
can watch the oldest. Hell yeah.
1:18
She was advised to that. So when out to Sycamore Creek
1:22
and played around shot 100 hey drove the ball.
1:28
Beautifully just like was clicking was putting great, the
1:34
iron and the chipping a Game not so great - no left turns at home
1:39
then. There you go.
2:31
The cycle is complete. Sponge the day one grievances
4:00
until about 9:00 tomorrow night. So you know get prepped you know
4:05
I was have been teaching long enough though that first week
4:07
gets there were good husband you sit, there you listen.
4:11
Oh yeah and you don't say anything no.
4:14
Yeah you have the ear and then you know, hey that's that's
4:18
great honey or someone exactly. All right.
4:22
Well guys, we have a ton of stuff to cover today.
4:25
Then a few days we were Going to court last week.
4:29
But, you know, life gets in the way between birthdays and wives
4:33
working and whilst back-to-school nights, we've
4:35
missed our opportunity. It is what it is.
4:38
So we have a ton of stuff to cover Braun.
4:41
Let's kind of go back, quite a few days now, which feels a long
4:45
time, and that would be for can bun committing.
4:49
The offensive, tackle 64, to 80 out of Dickens in Texas.
4:54
I know this guy, you happy Yeah, big-time dude.
4:58
So I was watching this guy's tape.
5:01
This is continuing the trend we've seen with guys that the
5:03
advice is trying to bring in guys.
5:06
That really at the high school level already know how to run
5:09
block and do it. Well, this guy shows, good
5:13
promise with reaching getting to the next level and blocking
5:17
showed a few powers where he was leaving up in the hole.
5:21
So, I mean, this guy can do a lot of different things from the
5:24
tackle position. I'm not sure if he's going to
5:26
end up tackle. Regard for us.
5:28
But I think you could probably do both depending on how he
5:32
shows out his first year or two here, but I really like his
5:35
tape. I think he's going to be a
5:37
really good acquisition for us. And you know, Vice continues to
5:43
find these Diamonds in the Rough here as as the cycle closes out
5:47
after missing on a couple more high-profile guys at the start
5:51
of the cycle. Yeah, now you talk about being
5:54
down arrow. I don't think I can Is, is it
5:58
87? So he is that other stock pot 3.
6:02
He's already kind of built. He's a top 60 offensive tackle.
6:07
You kind of start doing the math.
6:08
There's, yeah, you need to offensive tackles.
6:12
That means essentially, he others want us out of the other.
6:15
He's a top 30 offensive, he's a top 30 tackle, you know, his
6:19
commitment list, kind of unusual, Arizona, Colorado
6:22
Purdue to not commitment of us, but his offer less, you know.
6:27
Air Force few other schools like that.
6:28
So he was getting some attention from your mid P5, schools.
6:35
Also some, you know, some Houston's your navies.
6:39
So solid offer list. Brian you mentioned you can see
6:43
him guard or tackle. Now if he goes tackle is he left
6:46
his, you're right? If he goes tackle, he's probably
6:49
gonna be right tackle but I mean the the tape I'm seeing on him
6:55
as far as pass blocking, it's good he needs to clean up some
7:00
technique which I think Vice is really good at teaching.
7:02
So I think that's not a big problem.
7:05
Like I said, vice seems to be wanting to find guys that are
7:07
already pretty polished from a run blocking standpoint may need
7:11
to clean up technique but really know how to get how to get after
7:14
it. Have the mean streak and have
7:16
those intangibles that you need to be a good.
7:18
Run blocker and he's going to you know kind of Polish up that
7:22
that pass Pro. So like I said I think he would
7:25
be would slide in pretty good at right tackle but going back to
7:28
the the diamond in the rough thing, I mean yeah.
7:31
You're talking about top 60. But again this is a guy from
7:34
Texas and kind of sometimes you know once you fall out of a
7:37
certain certain number in that state, you all of a sudden get
7:40
get kind of lost in the shuffle there a little bit.
7:43
And I feel like that's kind of what happened to this guy.
7:45
Okay? I got what you mean by that,
7:47
that certain States. Where if you start slipping
7:49
fast, 60 70 in some of the bigger more Talent, Rich states,
7:55
that lose the aisles, because I think me and you talk to it, it
7:58
would be 17 if he was in the state of Virginia, you have 17.
8:02
So, top 20 here, he's one of five.
8:04
They're so clearly, I got what you're saying about that.
8:07
Um, Brian the delay and all the crap happened in our lives.
8:11
Last week actually was able to sneak this one in.
8:16
Yeah, the Third. Team All-American by Phil steel,
8:20
Illinois, State quarterback. Devin Taylor gets in the portal
8:24
transfer to Virginia. Tech 61 200 pounds.
8:29
This is a coup. We just feel somebody and not
8:34
for one year but two years. Yeah, this is a coup because
8:37
this is a guy that was getting draft Buzz going into this year.
8:44
You know, one of the best quarterbacks at the FCS level
8:46
last year. and, you know, you just see all of a sudden, he's
8:51
in the portal because of everything going on with all
8:54
these other schools. And, you know, we need a corner
8:58
after after Caleb opt-out. And this is a guy that come in,
9:02
he's probably going to be talent-wise two or three on our
9:06
on our roster in terms of talent.
9:08
So, you know, right out the gate, that's a big acquisition.
9:11
And looking at some of his tape he had he played really well
9:14
against North Dakota State and then he had a glimpse of him.
9:19
I want against Antonio, Brown, who and it only a brown.
9:24
Yeah, the essentially if he wasn't out of his mind, the best
9:27
wide on the NFL. Yeah, yeah.
9:29
No big deal. Yeah, I did not see that.
9:34
So, you are breaking some news to me here.
9:36
I mean, and I look at the guy and look some of the stats last
9:39
year, 24 past offended and that's like almost that's over
9:43
one and a half of game nine interceptions in his career.
9:49
I mean it is a coup and if if clearly you know he's gonna have
9:54
to catch up on some Camp stuff but you know we're going to get
9:59
to some stuff later time about his eligibility.
10:01
We got him. We got him for 24.
10:04
Medically got it for two years so it helps with depth.
10:08
I think we all feel good about Jermaine Walter.
10:10
I think we all feel good about our mommy made me feel good
10:12
about Brian Murray. Now we've like hey we got we are
10:16
now we were down one now we're back.
10:19
Back to where the comfy level. So, I love it.
10:21
I love it. I love it.
10:23
Yeah, like I said, I'm think we're quite getting the top end
10:25
that we would have had we Caleb, but we're definitely getting the
10:28
guy that you can immediately put in the lineup and feel
10:30
comfortable with it's awesome. All right, so let's move on
10:34
couple guys. This week got some rankings
10:39
start with Bryce. Good Nur Bryce.
10:42
Good and it gets an 86 from to 4785, 81 composite.
10:48
He goes National No, he is top 800, he is a top 50 guard and he
10:54
moved into the top 25 of the state of Tennessee.
10:57
Are you shocked by this Prime? Absolutely not.
11:01
This is about where I think I had him plugged when we talked
11:04
about him. Last taping eighty six is a good
11:08
number for him. I feel really good about that.
11:11
I had him somewhere between 85 and 87.
11:13
So that's that's right in that range of I was looking at and,
11:17
you know, I think he's gonna to be a guy that's going to be a
11:20
big impact guy and he's going to be a guard for us.
11:22
So I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do with that
11:25
position. I think I just saw someone
11:28
mentioned that they started at their first game this week and
11:33
he was, he's playing guard this year for his High School versus
11:36
tackle that he played last year. So we'll get to see some more
11:40
tape on him. Playing the position that he'll
11:42
be playing for us now. Absolutely.
11:45
And it's good to hear that. So he's moved from that tackle
11:47
into the guard. Remember in the end, Of you with
11:49
Sunday, Saturday, he said by some Lonesome and Center.
11:52
I know we mentioned he's taking Snaps at practice.
11:54
And stay an extra, but just getting inside.
11:56
I think that helps them even more.
11:58
Get acclimated to it. Now Brian, another guy ranking
12:02
to and I believe you're probably gonna be baffled by this one.
12:06
Malachi Thomas, the Hart County running back. 86 for 24/7 with
12:13
an 84 98 in the composite shop. Yeah, I'm not sure why his
12:19
composite ends up being lower because I want to say his two
12:22
numbers from the other two Publications or the same as what
12:27
good news was. These also getting the same 24/7
12:29
ranking yet his composite is lower but 24/7 probably has
12:35
about a pointer to lower than I would have liked to have seen.
12:38
I could have seen him going as high.
12:39
As an 88 just based on the output that he's had and the
12:43
dynamic abilities that he has, because he's definitely that
12:46
all-purpose guy, but he's also a guy that can, you know, do
12:50
things in the in the passing game, I would have liked to see
12:54
a little bit higher number on there, that would have
12:56
definitely helped us in terms of overall class ranking.
13:00
But eighty six is a good number and consider, any guy wasn't
13:04
ranked a month ago. Now all of a sudden you know,
13:08
he's dropping an 86 on you, that's pretty good.
13:11
It is, and I think it kind of shop.
13:13
Some of us of that number because of his accolades.
13:17
I mean, he's also he's not under size, six foot 180.
13:20
That's a typical high school size running back.
13:22
It's not like he's 57 160 doing these numbers.
13:25
Yeah, and I think the state of Georgia is playing like the
13:29
state of Tennessee. So, potentially, he could get a
13:32
nice bump. Now, from these guys.
13:35
Bumping, we have ascended, essentially in the composite
13:38
rankings, which Composite rankings.
13:41
I don't, I don't really look at composite rankings composite is
13:44
what is what we're looking at for the class size, but for
13:48
really looking at it. It'd be nice if we could get
13:50
something better in the just just looking at the 24/7, you
13:55
know, the ones in the square box there, and not the big.
13:57
Number example, that's the one. I look at people.
14:00
Look at the big number 239. We've broken the 40s.
14:04
I look at the little number. We're at 34 and with some
14:07
targets out there that probably We can push us over into the top
14:12
30, maybe into the top 25, we shall see.
14:18
So again, folks, who listen, if you look at 24/7, don't look at
14:23
the big number. Look at the little number, we
14:25
trust you for seven more. They're constantly evaluating,
14:28
they're constantly updating ESPN sets.
14:30
There's about eight months in advance, they never change.
14:33
They might rank someone if they commit somewhere, similar with
14:37
Rivals 2 for 7 days only, That's why they're the best in the
14:41
business right now. Yeah, 24/7.
14:44
You're pretty much getting some sort of refresh every month or a
14:48
couple months down the road. Whereas I mean Rivals is going
14:52
to, you know, can go six months without really taking a really
14:55
good evaluation, especially in this Dead period where they
14:58
haven't been able to do the camps, like they normally do.
15:00
And that's what they base. A lot of their rankings on is
15:02
the camps. Yeah.
15:04
So, you know Rivals, especially this year is even less
15:08
trustworthy than they would be in.
15:10
Another given time and then ESPN is pretty much all about, you
15:14
know, who's offering these players.
15:16
And that's what they base their right, exactly.
15:21
All right, let's move on on Ron. What the fuck is UNC?
15:26
Doing everything wrong. Every.
15:30
First of all, I feel like I read somewhere.
15:33
Did they not test the kids as they were coming back onto
15:37
campus. Did I read that, right?
15:38
They're not testing the students.
15:40
They come back on campus, right? That is correct.
15:43
They suggested having a negative test to come on campus, but it
15:50
was not a mandate, so you're idiots.
15:55
That's one piece. It least.
15:57
The next thing you could do is when they get to campus as part
16:00
of their get on campuses, get your butt over here and take the
16:04
test. We need to figure out if you're
16:06
negative or positive. Yeah, Virginia Tech was doing.
16:10
That the lane Stadium thing. All you checking in today?
16:12
Cool, get moved and go to Lane Stadium, Walking Dead to test
16:16
and try to stay until you hear back from us.
16:18
They're getting more and more clusters.
16:19
They've already went online, some kids are pushing back,
16:24
there's kids were out there, you know, they said they're in at
16:27
bars over in Raleigh NC. State's also went online only
16:32
and you know, as much as you want to say, well it's the kids
16:35
fault, there it is for doing that.
16:36
They're 18 to 22 year old kids. The In Australian stones of
16:41
those universities screwed the pooch.
16:44
Yeah. Confuse.
16:46
What? They're not giving those kids
16:47
back. They're not giving them back
16:48
that housing money. We get that back.
16:52
Okay? And if I were kids, I want most
16:55
like screw you guys. I'm staying here.
16:57
No, I'm not, I have paid money. I have paid money, I have paid
17:06
money. You will let me live here, we
17:11
require people to kick out. No, I wrote you a five thousand
17:14
dollar check, you won't write me that.
17:15
Check back, I will be more than glad to leave.
17:18
It's like, you know, you already played this shit last semester
17:21
and we get the mitigating circumstances.
17:24
But you had, you had five months to prepare for this one, the
17:27
house. Yep, exactly.
17:31
All right, well, let's move on cuz the Institute of AA on my
17:38
birthday. Holy shit on my birthday.
17:41
Votes to grandi extra year of Eligibility to all division.
17:44
One fall athletes. So basically wherever you are
17:49
right now is where you get to be next year.
17:52
This time there is so much to divulge on this brine.
17:56
I have a feeling we had one of our, one of our guys, having the
18:02
twittersphere reach out to us about doing an episode sewed, I
18:05
think we will be because There's there's there's a lot of pieces
18:10
to this. I'm just gonna say it right now,
18:13
like, from a moral perspective, it's the right call, but from a
18:18
logistical perspective. Holy shit.
18:20
It's going to be a clusterfuck and do we trust anything instead
18:24
of labels to do right now? No because the NCAA will mandate
18:28
this and then be like y'all figure this shit out.
18:30
That's the problem. The problem isn't again from a
18:33
moral perspective, it's a good move because you don't know
18:37
what's going to happen. This year, you go ahead before
18:39
you even get to that, step you say, okay, well, here's the
18:43
extra year of Eligibility, but the problem is that the NCAA is
18:46
not going to say, this is how it needs to be implemented with as
18:51
minimal gray area as possible. You know, that's not going to
18:53
happen, you know, they're going to say conferences, figure it
18:56
out, have fun great. You figure it out wrong.
19:20
By all means. If they had done anything in the
19:22
prior five months leading up to the season in mandates, we would
19:26
probably like. Hell, yeah.
19:27
They'll figure it out before. Probably the end of the season,
19:30
how it's going to be done zero confidence in that now, Bryan, a
19:34
few days before that? Mr. Blacks here got his waiver
19:41
disproved. Didn't I?
19:44
So way sir, he can get this.
19:58
Everybody can play this year. But why are you still punishing
20:02
kids in a season? You're saying doesn't count
20:05
eligibility wise anyway. Exactly.
20:08
Isn't fucking count. Anyway, but you know that that's
20:14
the NCAA for us. And I mean, at this point, you
20:18
know, we've had three that we submitted a initial waiver
20:22
request for. We've had two now.
20:25
Counting Blackshear that we've submitted appeals for
20:29
previously, Bronx was not not approved, both initial an
20:33
appeal. You see what comes out for
20:35
Blackshear here with his appeal, based on some of the word that
20:39
we Received from a compliance side of things, it seems like.
20:44
This one is a little more straightforward in terms of what
20:49
the what was needed for the appeal to be approved.
20:52
So I think they feel confident in that but at the same time
20:57
until it happens, I'm not going to give them anything because I
21:00
have no, I zero confidence in the NCAA approving.
21:03
It and it at this point I don't know whether it's an issue with
21:07
our compliance team, being Mom and Pop vs.
21:10
Having big time. Lawyers up on this thing or
21:15
whatever it is but the NCAA just does not like us for one reason
21:20
or another. What's your take on that, man?
21:22
This is what you weave week have to think.
21:25
I don't think we have to figure out.
21:26
We have to just speculate the hell out of you.
21:29
They hate us or again you said it is our compliance Team Mom,
21:33
and Pops that simply can't do this legal work right to make.
21:40
Smooth as possible. No clue.
21:44
I think it's somewhere in between, yeah, because if we
21:48
were screwed up things really bad, I don't think the grad
21:50
transfers would be getting immediate approval.
21:52
I just, I think there would be something behind that, but they
21:55
seem to go through pretty quick, unless they have c-minuses.
22:00
Hey, that's the academic side. It goes back to what we've
22:39
heard. A lot of stuff.
22:42
The internal workings, very Mom and Pop.
22:45
You got to get big boy. You got to get big boy on this
22:48
because when you have kids of Raheem Blackshear skill sets,
22:53
when you have kids that want to play for you and you can't get
22:57
them on the field immediately. It deters, it deters.
23:01
You could have some kid at one of the Blue Bloods.
23:04
It's not getting playing time and saying my skill set fits
23:07
what they do. I want to go down there and I'll
23:10
sign the reason I mean, hell, they're finding reasons for To
23:15
his little brother to get. You've got QB next to your name
23:18
isn't on your automatic. I don't know if we can get that,
23:36
there's got to be some sort of Some of these things.
23:45
But, you know, redact everything that needs to be redacted and
23:49
say like here's an example of what is needed to get an
23:53
approval and kind of at least share that information.
23:57
I mean you can redact this information.
23:59
I mean I know there's some some degree where you know, if
24:02
there's a specific scenario, you'll know who it is but if you
24:05
redact enough information, you can be like okay well this is
24:08
how they got that approved start sharing that information because
24:11
I feel like there's at least very in me.
24:15
Me, you Vaz would having some of these problems.
24:17
There's definitely some confusion as to what is needed
24:19
to get these things approved. If you have the state of
24:22
Virginia next to your name, when I would just not because there's
24:27
was also there's was the Hopewell kid, right?
24:32
Yeah. Coming out of Indiana, wait a
24:33
second. He's now an hour and ten minutes
24:36
from home. I don't think it's 100 miles
24:39
between Charlottesville in Hopewell, it is not Jesus
24:43
Christ, who knows? Let's move on guys.
24:46
We got to go through here. He said some things we want to
24:50
hit some pieces on that. Now let's start with
24:55
essentially, this prying on it as of this is never been for
25:00
practices. There have been more since then
25:03
probably. One of the biggest things that
25:05
came out of this, at least for us was No additional opt-outs as
25:10
of that press conference. And as of today, I have not seen
25:16
anything. You know, we are officially
25:18
through the camp portion of of the fall.
25:22
Fall Kim getting ready for the season.
25:24
So at this point there have been no additional opt-outs, and
25:29
that's a good thing because at this point, we know, pretty
25:32
much, unless something funky happens or things, take a turn
25:36
in terms of the number of cases. Is on campus or something like
25:39
that? These kids seem to be locked in
25:41
and ready to go for the season. If he did mention, there were
25:44
some conversations that were had, you know, actually getting
25:48
that out of fuel intake. Seems almost like a miracle
25:51
because usually, he doesn't divulge that Sipes up and he
25:54
said there were conversations had.
25:57
So clearly there were some concerns with guys, or maybe,
26:00
just guys questioning things, but as of today, no additional
26:03
opt-outs. Now, what has happened is
26:07
they've had conversations On the red shirts.
26:09
But as of that time, no decisions yet but now with the
26:12
ncaa's saying what their plan is it just screw it, just play
26:15
them. Yeah this one you might as well
26:18
play them because they're getting this year.
26:20
This extra year of Eligibility. Anyway, everyone is going to
26:23
roll into next year as whatever they there's their current
26:27
standing is which is going to be really strange and hard to wrap
26:32
our heads around but again, that's good.
26:34
That's the logistical nightmare to sort out later.
26:36
So yeah, if I'm coach Fuente, I'm definitely.
26:40
If I need to play a guy, I'm playing a guy.
26:42
And if I have a scenario where I can get guys extra reps, I'm
26:45
getting them extra reps. Oh, hell, yeah, that's the
26:48
biggie right there. It's getting some of those young
26:50
guys on the field when possible and I don't care if it's on
26:54
special teams or situational stuff.
26:57
But getting them used to the speed of the game, where we know
27:01
it's very tough to everybody else can do this too.
27:04
But for us having this was a smaller class, it makes it
27:08
easier for us like that. Absolutely 14 guys to get on the
27:12
field, I think they can get them all on the field in some way
27:15
shape or form which is Great to know.
27:18
Now, something else that was talked about was how practices
27:22
are going with all the covid stuff than you know, coach want
27:26
to mention like wearing face Shields.
27:28
And it seems like they're trying to make the drill the movements
27:30
quicker and the quick drills trying to avoid a lot of facing
27:33
time. So a lot of constant movement
27:36
Brian's from someone, you know who went through this.
27:43
You know, multiple times at a Collegiate level, how much of a
27:47
pain could that be? Because you guys are creatures
27:49
of habit? Yeah, I mean the biggest thing
27:52
is going to be in any of those down periods, just making sure
27:56
that you're doing the right thing.
27:57
Obviously want to coach has engaged a lot of times it's
28:00
easier to kind of keep keep in that mindset.
28:03
But I think like, for example, if there's special teams period
28:08
and you know, you're not in the group and you're you're with a
28:12
certain unit Keeping in mind. I need to keep social distance
28:15
from these group, you know, when I'm not engaged in practice or
28:19
engaged in a specific drill. So I think that's going to be
28:23
the bigger thing. And I think what he said, and
28:26
what I kind of took away from it is that he's like, you know,
28:29
everybody is a stakeholder, whether it be, you know,
28:32
trainers on the field, you know, whoever is there needs to be a
28:36
stakeholder in this thing and holding people accountable.
28:38
And I think that's going to be. The key thing is that, you know,
28:41
you see something that People need to be more aware of, go
28:44
ahead and speak up. Make it known.
28:47
He said, you talked about blowing the whistle and getting
28:50
getting distance when necessary. So, it looks like everybody is
28:53
taking ownership in this and he's giving people license to.
28:57
Hey, if you see somebody doing something that's, that's not
29:00
within our protocols, go ahead and say something, and let's
29:02
keep this thing moving. Absolutely.
29:04
And, you know, it's good to hear about the whistles and you hear
29:07
about things like that. But the one thing that really
29:10
caught my ear earlier this week, Was James Mitchell, Divine
29:15
Diablo, man. If you saw some of their quotes,
29:19
it sounds like the older guys were busting heads.
29:23
Almost two younger, guys. Yeah, that's even more.
29:29
More a special for Mitchell since Mitchell still got some
29:31
eligibility left and obviously, Diablo being a big leader on the
29:34
field for us. You know, those two guys and
29:38
along with Trey Turner kind of seem to be some of the Three in
29:44
terms of vocal leadership, I definitely think Brooke is more
29:47
of a leader. By example, he leaves by how he
29:51
how he plays on the field, but those three seemed to be more of
29:54
the vocal leaders. And it's nice to see them,
29:57
stepping up and saying, hey, this is important to us, we need
30:00
to do the right thing. So we can play and show roommate
30:03
of and take care of our business in the fall.
30:06
Absolutely, the best line. The best quote is the upper time
30:09
asking tried to let the younger guys know that there will be
30:12
some type of Alyssa plan that they do not follow the rules.
30:15
It was players who made that rule, not even the coaches, if
30:19
you want to be here. You have to be in here 100%.
30:23
And so, yeah, I think the, the leadership of this team is just
30:27
shining through on so many different levels, which is maybe
30:32
the last couple Seasons, maybe that's what was missing.
30:36
Yeah, the first two seasons when you had, you know, 16 with
30:39
Isaiah and you know everything's coming in And then the next
30:44
season, you know you know tremayne and Ricky Walker, you
30:48
know, but now you've got all these guys are growing up and
30:51
now they're the leaders of this team and the dogs who when they
30:55
bark the rest of the team listens, yeah, it's definitely
31:00
been icing. These guys really grow into
31:02
these roles because we did see, you know, the downside of not
31:06
having more than one or two guys in the locker room that were
31:10
leaders and even even in like you know in 89 I mean, we had
31:14
some leaders on the team but I don't think they were as, as
31:17
vocal as this group that we have now.
31:19
So, you know, there were fewer of them and they just, it just
31:23
wasn't quite there. And it feels like now you got
31:26
guys that have they played the steps, they've put in the work
31:31
and but they also know how to talk and how to communicate with
31:34
the team and you let them know. You know, what it is to be a
31:38
hokie and what we need to do to get the job done.
31:41
Absolutely. Now.
31:43
Nothing else coach Fuente. I was questioned about Justin
31:47
Hamilton and it seemed like he gave him some rave reviews.
31:54
Yeah. Big time you called him the, the
31:56
ultimate Communicator said that he was such a strong leader and
32:01
that he brings a lot of energy. And that kind of trickles down
32:03
to the other guys on that defensive staff, and it's nice
32:06
to see that, you know, it seems like he is also taking the input
32:11
from some of the guys that are, that are more veteran that are,
32:15
you know, at the, the other positions, but still being able
32:18
to be the guy at the top, it that really Filters, those
32:23
points of view, and then puts it into a plan.
32:27
Absolutely. You hear so much about him but
32:29
you know, you hear about natural leader in the communicator and
32:33
you know somebody I know in the that is pretty close to the
32:36
program. They talked about him on the
32:37
sidelines and how he connects with his players.
32:40
And sometimes that's what you need, you need that connection.
32:45
I mean, Justin Hamilton's our age.
32:47
He's, you know, he's in his late 30s, mid late 30s.
32:50
First of all, that's incredibly young.
32:51
But when You have guys that young, it's easier for them
32:56
because the generational Gap isn't that big and you talk
33:01
about Communicator, we've talked about him in the past.
33:03
The guy played three different positions in Collegiate
33:07
football. I think you'll know how to
33:09
communicate and tell guys things just because of having that sort
33:13
of background, you know, On his belt to say, I didn't play one.
33:19
I play three positions to are on offense and defense and I got
33:24
drafted on defense. So gets a little weight there.
33:30
Ronnie, you sent me this text. That was big for this week.
33:39
Yeah man. It sounds like some of the
33:44
practices that they've been having.
33:46
I felt a little different this go-round.
33:48
Yeah. We were talking about it, I'm
33:56
sure it's a lot, less work leading up into it.
34:02
What? In terms of group work in terms
34:04
of working, those specific type of football things with the
34:10
training staff and with the strength and conditioning staff,
34:13
they're leading up to the start of the season.
34:16
You're but also there's a lot happening in these practices,
34:20
you're talking about installs of new defense, you're talking
34:24
about, you know, probably opening up the Playbook a little
34:27
bit more on offense since you've got a returning signal caller
34:31
and two other guys that have already been in the program one
34:35
for having a full offseason, the other for multiple years.
34:40
So I think they're probably opening The Playbook a little
34:42
bit more in terms of what they're installing during camp,
34:45
and installing ahead of Of the NC State game and they're
34:49
probably doing a little more conditioning than they would do
34:51
in a typical fall Camp. Just to get these guys back into
34:55
that playing shape because there wasn't as much monitored time in
35:00
the off season this year. Yep.
35:03
I think that's exactly what it is.
35:05
We kind of mentioned, they missed the spring practice and
35:09
then the next thing that goes on is they're missing that summer.
35:12
I know they came back in June but it was different.
35:15
They had a baby Couldn't quite get in the gym.
35:18
They had to be in the Beamer born under some very different
35:20
type workout conditions. So, yes, some people can say,
35:23
well, they've had more time but it's like it's different, it's
35:27
not their typical, it's they're out of their element.
35:31
Yes. Usually, you know, we talked
35:33
about it. Coming up January and February.
35:37
You have those hard conditioning workouts, you have a little
35:40
break Spring ball. Then you have a little bit of
35:43
break after Spring ball, slowly building up your conditioning as
35:48
you get into fall Camp. Yep.
35:49
They didn't have that this year, they essentially, from, you
35:53
know, March up until late part of June weren't there.
35:58
And some of the guys were able to get back to campus until
36:01
July. So really, then this, you can
36:03
say, two months, to keep the Themselves and shape and do me
36:06
wrong. You can see these guys working
36:07
out at home but it's still a little bit different and think
36:11
exactly like you said some of those guys went three weeks
36:14
maybe before they starting fall Camp.
36:17
Yeah, campus theme. Yeah, that's good.
36:20
Enough to get kind of shake the rust off but it's not enough to
36:24
get in in playing shape using a specific type of equipment doing
36:30
specific workouts getting pushed by your teammates getting pushed
36:34
by The strength and conditioning coaches.
36:37
So that's definitely completely different.
36:39
I mean, I know certain people can handle working out on their
36:43
own and get the same amount out of it, but that's not going to
36:46
be everybody. Exactly something else coach
36:50
mentioned was talking about how fares Evan fairs Chang Hodges
36:54
were needed to shore up this wide receiver room.
36:56
We saw Shanghai finally on the field today, which is awesome,
37:01
which is good. I mean, you know again we worry
37:04
about About we were talking about, we are a little thin at
37:08
wide receiver. I think having these two guys, I
37:11
don't feel as worried anymore, right?
37:13
I feel like we have again for guys who play the Collegiate
37:16
level. We've had some success, Ferris
37:18
has been nicked up, but you, you see, you know, he can play.
37:23
Yeah. And I think the big thing with
37:25
with Hodges in now is that regardless of what happens with
37:30
the Blackshear situation, you've got another guy that you can
37:33
count on in your first three or four.
37:35
As that you could roll out there because I feel like lecture was
37:38
definitely going to be one of the first four guys that they
37:41
were sending out there and wide receiver playing from the slot.
37:44
So I think that's going to help with that situation and fairs
37:48
kind of take some of those. You know, those Red Zone issues
37:53
that we would have as far as a big Target, you know, losing out
37:57
on a Hazelton and losing out on Phil Patterson you because those
38:01
two guys were definitely more of the guys.
38:04
We were throwing stew inside the 10.
38:07
Exactly production. It eases it up.
38:11
Weather happens with Blackshear not and hey, they can be on the
38:15
team next year. Yeah, exactly.
38:19
And then, you know, adding to that, we talked about, hey, it's
38:24
progress. And that's that's a big thing
38:26
that you coach Fuente was talking about.
38:29
During the press conference was, how much he's went from.
38:33
A guy that's athletic, you know, great athlete.
38:37
But down with guys, it looks like receiver.
38:40
Exactly. He's talking, he said, Leaps and
38:42
Bounds even without this spring which a pisses you off?
38:46
Because if he gets those reps in Spring, who knows where he is
38:51
physically. Holy crap.
38:54
Those pictures that okey Sports put out.
38:58
He looked like a man and it's fun.
39:05
Crunch. One day said he was dealing with
39:06
with allergies. When you first open campus last
39:08
year and funny enough, that was actually something I dealt with
39:11
my first year him in Sydney. So I kind of know what he's
39:14
talking about there. Like when they hit hard
39:18
especially with getting pushed further than your kind of used
39:21
to at a high school level, it kind of kicks your ass a little
39:25
bit from a conditioning perspective so I definitely
39:28
understand where he was coming from with that because it
39:31
definitely takes a little more time.
39:33
Time to get, you know where you need to be, especially for a guy
39:37
like him that relies on his athleticism as part of his game.
39:41
So you seeing him get that under control and now learning the
39:46
wide receiver position and being able to translate his
39:49
athleticism into, you know, a specific position specific role
39:54
on the team. I think that's going to be big
39:56
for us and you know, hopefully we see a lot of him this fall
40:01
you. No doubt that there's some other
40:02
opportunities, a wide receiver. We're going to step in there.
40:05
Yep. And we'll get to some of that
40:06
later. We're going to get a few more
40:07
Impressions on a couple guys throughout this.
40:09
We want to kind of hit everybody real quick here.
40:12
The next one is discussed to why the running back group.
40:15
You know, he said it straight up as an experienced Crew, The
40:18
Freshmen learning he did mention Wheatley was dealing with the
40:22
hamstring injury is loaded. As this room is just with the
40:26
number of bodies that's not good for him.
40:30
But then he in this is what kind of Breaks your heart with the
40:34
Rahim stuff and again we know who is close to the vest.
40:40
Basically Foo said he has been absolutely remarkable.
40:43
Awesome and multi-dimensional through the first four
40:46
practices, ouch, I mean we've talked about it and we said
40:54
that's what he was going to be. So it doesn't surprise me that
40:58
he said that it just it sucks. That given what, what came down
41:03
from the You got a A at least to this point could potentially put
41:08
the kibosh on him playing this year, despite the fact that he's
41:13
not only an amazing talent which we do he was, but it's fitting
41:17
into what we're trying to do is an offense already, there's a
41:21
reason he chose us, there's a reason he goes, let's go.
41:24
And I'm sure he was looked at by a lot of people, just because
41:27
there's a reason he chose us now.
41:30
Brian, the other transfer. Polly.
41:33
Oh Herbert. Looks like he's also just like
41:36
he's the man already. So you know looking like he's
41:40
the lead back and for us we like to see that.
41:43
Because now we can say, okay we've got our 112 running back,
41:48
you know which is awesome. I have a feeling you as an
41:54
offensive lineman knowing you got that guy back there, it
41:57
makes you even more excited to get out there and find somebody.
42:02
Yeah, absolutely. If you got a guy that you know,
42:04
you can rely on to get get those extra yards run through some
42:07
tackles you know with the ability.
42:10
To also once you get out of the open run away from guys you know
42:13
that makes you want to go out there and get everybody that you
42:16
can because sometimes, you know, it only takes one block.
42:20
The only takes one block to open up something big for a running
42:22
back like him. So, you know that definitely
42:24
pushes you harder and, you know, I like what I saw on his tape
42:28
when he was coming in and it sounds like he's really
42:32
Translated that into our offense and had some success in Camp so
42:37
far. So, that's going to be
42:39
interesting to watch and see, you know, if he's going to be
42:42
really the be, the first kind of lead back.
42:45
We've had since since David Wilson left us for the NFL.
42:50
I mean, I'm not saying we're talking with that degree of
42:53
talent, but that's the last time, we've had a running back.
42:56
That said, give me the rock. Every time you can exactly All
43:02
right, we move on from transfers to one of the more highly touted
43:06
recruits you mentioned, Devin Hunter.
43:11
And first of all, Brian let's address this.
43:14
We no longer have a Rover on the position is no longer called
43:18
Rover. It is now boundary safety.
43:21
So if anyone's looking to do a spin-off podcast, you got a
43:24
name, you do have a name now, but such high praise Even
43:32
talking about his leadership, talking about he wants success.
43:36
He has great work ethic, great attitude.
43:40
And you know, you still Devon's built to play that boundary
43:46
safety position. Strong safety.
43:49
You know he's near the box and you just hope that he can Excel
43:55
because he's the guy that said, yep, I'll take a red shirt.
43:59
You'll continue to grow and continue to learn.
44:01
Continue to sit behind somebody. Instead of just saying, okay,
44:04
I'm out of here. He said yes a lot of times to
44:09
not getting playing time right away and for a guy that was as
44:13
highly touted as he was coming out of the 757.
44:17
That's been a big thing for us because he's shown leadership,
44:22
he's shown selflessness and he's shown work ethic.
44:26
So I mean there's nothing more you can ask for the guy and it
44:29
you know we got to see it a little bit in spots last year
44:32
when he finally got some. Get playing time in some games
44:38
and we're hoping that he can put it all together, you know, as
44:40
the guy that position this year. But in terms of leadership and
44:45
work ethic and being a guy that's team, first, I mean, we
44:48
can't ask for anybody better. Absolutely.
44:50
And hope that he can have the success this year because of all
44:55
that Prime. We're when the question was
44:58
asked, I can't remember who asked to give them credit right
45:01
now. But the individual who asked you
45:05
The strongest unit where you shot by his answer of offensive
45:08
line, I was not because I already knew that we had about
45:12
seven or eight guys, that could potentially be starters and not
45:16
just starters, but good starters.
45:18
This year, he talked about how, you know, Nestor looks like a
45:23
grown man. Now, you told me the guy that
45:24
started as a true freshman and probably was a little bit
45:29
undersized to step into that role, but did pretty well with
45:33
it last year and he's filled out some.
45:34
So that's going to To be, you know, nothing.
45:37
But a good thing. They talked about.
45:38
Luke tenuto has filled out, he's what do you what do you say?
45:41
No longer looks like a basketball player or something
45:43
like that. Baseball player baseball player.
46:05
Does other than Christian dare Saul and Luc to new de.
46:11
They're the only two guys that have not moved.
46:12
Everybody else has been moving around, which I think might
46:17
shock some people especially the Way Hudson played at Center last
46:20
year. Especially white Nestor played
46:22
at guard but we go back to John's interviews with this pen.
46:28
Yeah, that is what Vice likes it.
46:31
Here Vice wants the best five out there and he will continue
46:34
shuffling until He finds a group that he likes, and I think just
46:39
because I think just based on two noodles body and how he
46:44
really took to the tackle position right out the gate.
46:48
Yep. That gave him more of a locked
46:50
in spot and then obviously, you know, Christian being Christian
46:54
and being really locked in that position.
46:57
Now for several years that kind of locked him in, I think the
47:01
one that probably surprised me the most was the fact that they
47:03
are still moving, the seat has Smith.
47:05
Around a little bit but you know, I think he's going to
47:09
still end up at left guard. I think the question is going to
47:13
be is brought going to be guard or Center and in based on that
47:20
is Hudson going to be center or is Nestor going to be guard or
47:24
something? Going to be hard but does that
47:26
matter now because the one thing me and you discussed, I can't
47:29
really discuss it on here, but we've discussed offline was and
47:32
we might need to register it. Nestor he's a tackled, it
47:35
doesn't. Any more to it doesn't.
47:37
If it doesn't Masters better, let it just let him play left
47:40
guard. If HUD is better at Right Guard,
47:43
let him play Right Guard. Put Rocket Center, you're not
47:46
losing it for us as a team. This doesn't hurt us as much it.
47:54
I feel like this can hurt Blue, Bloods more, it's going to hurt
47:56
us because Blue Bloods are expecting guys to move on, you
47:59
know, a guy who gets a seventh around grade from Alabama with
48:02
just hey, I'll move on. I'll get picked up, just because
48:05
of, I'm of Alabama. Yeah, us it's not like that.
48:09
And to me and your love this year, in the depth, and next
48:14
year, you could just be the plethora, we could feel like we
48:17
could feel like one of those teams that has so much depth,
48:19
it's not Verse like how do we play everybody?
48:24
It's true. It's true.
48:25
And you know it's a good problem to have.
48:30
I'd rather have so much talent that you know, guys maybe have
48:35
to look at transferring then not having enough.
48:40
So it is what it is. I mean, you know, Doug Nestor I
48:44
think he could play guard. I think you could be eventually
48:47
play right or left tackle as well especially being CEO 66 so
48:51
he's got the height, he's got the weight now coming.
48:54
In around 3:15. So, you know, I think there's
48:58
some options here with our offensive line, especially, you
49:02
know, once we see what what Dara saw decides to do after this
49:07
year, if he's going to come back for another year.
49:10
Yeah. And you know what, what some of
49:14
these seniors decide to do now that they've been granted, a
49:17
free year of extra of Eligibility, it's going to be
49:20
very interesting. Also, one glass quick, snippet
49:23
on the off. To kalon.
49:27
Parker has been that tackle Caden more guard.
49:29
I don't think that shocks anybody but in your case you
49:32
guys didn't get to see it a read on it.
49:35
This is where they are. All right, first of all, big
49:38
shout out here to TNT tap on Twitter.
49:47
You got shouted out by coach basically talking about them as
49:50
cartoon characters and then discussing their working
49:54
relationship that they've established And how they
49:59
essentially are learning from one another getting better.
50:04
He feels like bills. One of the best established
50:06
defensive line coach has in any form of foot bottle, think, I
50:09
think you definitely agree with that Brine and he feels Daryl's
50:12
going to be right behind it in that place and it's iron
50:16
sharpening iron. And I think you know you saw
50:20
some of that video Brine and I think that made you and you seen
50:24
some stuff in the past and me You think some different things
50:28
about what we're going to be doing on the defensive line.
50:32
Yeah, it's big time and I'm like, like you said, I think the
50:35
big thing is that I think they're going to be good
50:39
compliments for one another because they bring slightly
50:42
different things to the table, but those things are
50:45
complementary of one of money. One another, they're kind of
50:47
like puzzle pieces, fitting together, like, whatever one
50:51
doesn't have the other can bring to the table.
50:53
You tap obviously, bringing the work ethic, the NFL pedigree,
50:59
and just a guy that Can really bring practice up and get people
51:05
height and then bills more of the guy that, you know, he knows
51:09
his shit. He is the guy that can run the
51:12
drills, he's the guy that can push you harder because he knows
51:16
the technique and teach the technique.
51:18
So I mean, I just, I think we're going to see some big things.
51:22
You know, we saw from the some of the tape from Camp.
51:26
What they're doing with the defensive line is going to be
51:30
different. You know, we're no longer going
51:36
to be looking for a lot more action out of the the defensive
51:40
linemen than we were typically used to.
51:44
So I'm looking forward to absolutely no.
51:47
Speaking of defensive line, one guy they're getting to work with
51:51
and it's been kind of confirmed marred.
51:53
Barn of has moved to defensive end, which I know you're jacked
51:56
about lot of the Hokey Nations jacked about hard-working
52:01
Kitty's of Sun. So oh well liked and he won't
52:03
success at this position and the way he's built, you know and you
52:11
know things he's done in his past you know you mentioned like
52:16
if you want him on the field like this this is what you've
52:19
got to do. You've got a really good lie
52:21
about your goal not to say he couldn't make it great
52:23
linebacker it like backer but you know get him out there as
52:28
much as you can and don't hinder him.
52:31
Yeah. I mean because of the situation
52:33
that we're working with Rook just standing out so much.
52:35
You already got that accent is working working at backer.
52:40
It was going to be hard for him to find a significant amount of
52:42
stamps. But with his build, if you can
52:46
teach him to put his hand in the dirt and rush the passer, he's
52:48
going to be a force because he's got the size and speed to cause
52:53
a lot of problems. Absolutely.
52:56
And, you know, you hear about from the 412 presser just
53:01
talking about, you know, they kind of put it on him, they
53:06
asked listen for different options, he wanted to talk to
53:09
his parents, and he got back, and he was ready to make the
53:11
move. And this is per the coach.
53:15
And, you know, he's taking big steps every day and I think
53:21
having Darryl Tapp, I think having built rolandic there.
53:25
I think that is a big reason why they get to work with a 66
53:28
240-pound. Defensive end as a prototype,
53:34
that is a prototype. And in you it since he hasn't
53:38
played there in a while, he's almost the okay, he's almost the
53:41
blank canvas and begging. You thinking it, he's the blank
53:45
canvas but he's also a guy because he's been in a division,
53:49
one system in whether its weight room and things like that, he
53:54
understands the process and he's got the body.
53:58
He just needs to have that those lessons.
54:01
And there's technique taught and I think once he gets the
54:04
technique down, and once he gets some of those other lessons down
54:08
in learns the position, he's going to be trouble, he's going
54:12
to be trouble. I don't know if he's going to be
54:14
a guy that's going to crack the the 1D but he's definitely going
54:19
to be a guy. We're going to see in certain
54:20
situations and he's definitely going to be a rotational player
54:23
just because somebody with that size and speed can impact plays
54:29
All right. Hey Brian.
54:31
Just just to Let's clarify this. Justin Fuente has no interest in
54:36
the commissioner job. Good to know.
54:39
I did not want him to take it and just kind of going to be
54:49
just kind of interesting because again it peels back.
54:53
The layer will bit. They asked about how it Scouts
54:56
for a different schedule in You know, you are listening to it,
55:00
Brian. Basically Junior season, they
55:04
sort of start doing some in-depth front for the first
55:06
three to four opponents. Yeah.
55:08
And then they do one other complete breakdown of the team.
55:13
I guess that's I'm guessing. It's something inside coaching.
55:15
You just do to say we know we're playing these guys.
55:18
Look at these guys so we can maybe have some comparisons of
55:21
what we see. Yeah.
55:23
And he didn't say if that was randomized or if he picked it
55:25
based on a certain scheme you run, or if you picked it based
55:28
on the level of talent, they have he didn't say that but he
55:31
said that's what Of the, you know, it's three opponents.
55:34
Plus one and probably not one of the other OC, sir, probably one
55:40
conference game on top of, whoever the first three
55:42
opponents are. Yeah.
55:44
And then you said, they did things change in, can't they do
55:47
it again, but they do it before Camp as well.
55:51
So now it's completely different.
55:53
It's a Desi, NC State's the opener, not Liberty.
55:59
So you know luckily they get a few extra.
56:02
Weeks there to prep for it, but it sounds like they already have
56:06
some things installed that they do.
56:08
Now, what really stinks is if you look at through the first
56:11
three or the four opponents were only playing one of them, so
56:16
yeah. Yeah.
56:18
Good good. Good exercise guys.
56:20
Yeah. Now let's do you know trash that
56:23
and let's figure out something else.
56:25
So keep the Liberty notes. Keep the Liberty notes.
56:31
But again, Something again, pulling Pullum the curtain back,
56:36
just a little bit for us man. All right so let's get a couple
56:39
things Brian just overall Impressions things, we're seeing
56:42
pictures tweets, things like that.
56:46
You know we've already mentioned it's been impressive and this is
56:50
my thought of why that kid needs to be on the field.
56:52
Brian, do you know or did you know that he runs a ten point
56:58
six, seven hundred meters? I do now.
57:02
First of all, that's insanely fast.
57:06
Yeah. For someone who's not going to
57:08
be essentially a track athlete. I feel like colbeck ran like a
57:12
10 3 last year in colbeck potentially could be on an
57:16
Olympic team as one of the real 100-meter guys, you convert a
57:21
10-6 72, football type speed, that's legit for for potentially
57:27
high for 3. S Prime if nothing else.
57:32
Can we just put that man? On the field side and just say,
57:37
run, run, run, it's fast as you can, as deep as you can.
57:45
If Hendon feels like you beat your guy, let him get it to you
57:48
because if we, if you see a theme running, a lot of man, put
57:51
him in the slot and running up the scene, seen it try to get
57:54
it, get by the same, see, I want on the outside because I think
57:57
with James Mitchell and some of the other guys, let them Feast
58:01
on the middle. Because once he beat somebody
58:03
over the top once, Safety's going to shape shift towards him
58:06
every time. What else you think about?
58:12
So what I'm liking is that, you know, we talked about a little
58:16
bit already but, you know, he's definitely filled out.
58:19
So he looks like a power, five wide receiver.
58:22
Now he's learning the position. He knows the route tree a lot
58:26
better than he did a year ago. It sounds like he's kind of the
58:31
guy that is looking to take a big step from From a guy, you
58:35
didn't even see on the field to a guy that you could be talking
58:39
about at the end of each game. So that's that's, that's an
58:43
impressive step for a guy that mostly played quarterback in
58:46
high school and I like, you know what, we've heard from some of
58:51
the younger wide receivers as well, some of the incoming
58:55
freshmen like bailing, right? And Tyree Saunders.
59:00
Yeah, it sounds like you know, if we didn't have, you know, pay
59:03
you stepping up and Didn't have you guys like fairs and Hodges
59:07
coming in from the transfer portal at these guys, might have
59:10
saw some significant playing time come this fall and they
59:13
might still see some of that. Now, that you're pretty much,
59:16
you don't have to Redshirt anybody this year with those new
59:20
NCAA rules. So that's impressive for them.
59:24
And those are two guys that I thought could, you know, really
59:27
crack in and make some impact early.
59:29
And I'm glad to see that they really put that to fruition.
59:32
Yeah. And if nothing else, you hope
59:34
Those two guys, they get a ton of special teams times.
59:37
Yeah, I'm really hoping now that this this eligibility rule was
59:41
out there that game Sky best kind of figures a way to get
59:45
some of the young guys that could be the potential future
59:48
starters on the field because get them acclimated that gain
59:53
speed. We've already talked about a
59:55
more. We think that move is great.
59:57
So many opportunities for him. I told you, I'd love to see a
1:00:01
Lamborghini package, you know. Yeah, let him go out there.
1:00:08
Put Justice Reed inside with mr. Pollard and you know maybe put
1:00:15
another blows, you know you know let somebody else have the other
1:00:19
side and just let's go killer quarterback.
1:00:23
Like I could that I could definitely see that happen and I
1:00:25
would like to see that as well. You know, I think we've got some
1:00:29
other guys that can we could mix and match and put some of those
1:00:32
packages together. Especially when we get got, we
1:00:36
either get a team down or if we get a team in an obvious passing
1:00:40
situation. For something out there like
1:00:42
that, I'm not, you know, we don't know, we know Tendencies
1:00:45
of Bud Foster will be, don't know gems Tendencies yet.
1:00:48
So right now we can speculate and it's fun and I kind of like
1:00:52
that a little bit because you know, it gives us a little bit
1:00:55
more to talk about and see if some of the things that we're
1:00:59
thinking in our head and up happening on the field.
1:01:02
Absolutely. All right Brian.
1:01:04
Let me Ask this, we go to the first play in Sin, City State,
1:01:08
offensive, ly flash, your got his waiver.
1:01:13
Tell me what you want, that look to be, tell me what would be
1:01:17
like the one where if you got em NC State mate, be like, oh God,
1:01:21
how to how do we defend this? A man putting me on the spot
1:01:27
here. Throwing the ball in the slot,
1:02:49
throw him screams. I mean, there's just so much A
1:02:53
playbook that gets open by having a guy like that on the
1:02:55
field because he can really do everything.
1:03:00
But throw the ball hecky, my can throw the ball.
1:03:05
I'll be shocked. Yeah, I Brian is there.
1:03:11
I'm not in good with the conference run.
1:03:13
You got a note. It on your conference is this
1:03:15
the best quarterback in the country?
1:03:17
Yes. Yeah, I say this, I say this um
1:03:21
what about your place there might be?
1:03:26
I don't know, maybe I'll go. But definitely if you just talk
1:03:31
at the conference I have no doubt about what we bring to the
1:03:35
table as a quarterback room. So by all accounts hookers,
1:03:39
looking good in practice. Burmeister 's tearing it up.
1:03:43
Pretty good QP looks completely yoked.
1:03:47
He looks like a Tight end but you can sling it.
1:03:54
So definitely best healer back room in the conference
1:03:57
potentially best quarterback room in the country.
1:04:00
I'll just probably the only one. I would maybe even think would
1:04:04
would be in that conversation that I can think of off the top
1:04:06
of my head. I mean, you might be able to
1:04:07
think of another one. I really can't.
1:04:11
I really can't. Because most is when you get
1:04:13
into the third is an unproven and Guy.
1:04:16
Yes, they might be highly touted.
1:04:18
But they're usually unproven. And in this case, it's not all
1:04:22
three. All three guys have played in
1:04:23
wanted division, one level all three had success and usually
1:04:28
you don't see that so that's what makes the difference.
1:04:32
Usually, if you say one and twos down, well hey we've got a
1:04:37
five-star freshman, we can throw him out there, he'll probably
1:04:40
do, okay, but it's still a dice to roll.
1:04:43
If so for me, that's why it's, you know, Three guys, get to
1:04:49
game playing with each one, a little something different.
1:04:52
And if something happens, you take go do your thing.
1:04:55
Yeah, I mean, and like I said, the fact that all three of them,
1:05:00
bring something a little different to the table is also
1:05:02
key. You know, hookers definitely the
1:05:04
best all-around. I think between combining
1:05:07
ability to make plays with legs. Good arm, can throw the Deep
1:05:10
ball. Accuracy Burmeister is a guy
1:05:14
with some some really good athleticism.
1:05:17
ISM that can also you know Sling It Down, feel a little bit and
1:05:20
then you know, QP is a guy that you can run those quarterback
1:05:24
powers can really make guys, think about short yardage and
1:05:30
he's got a gun, he's got a gun, he had a gun.
1:05:33
He can, he can get the damn ball down the field.
1:05:36
Yeah. So all of those things, you
1:05:38
know, complement each other in a lot of ways, with hooker being
1:05:42
the guy that does. More things better essentially?
1:05:47
Yeah, well things better. More composed very very risk
1:05:53
adverse. Yeah, it doesn't turn the ball
1:05:55
over. That we've had.
1:06:40
And we're deep. Yeah, tell me just just what
1:06:44
you're getting, what you're feeling, what you're hearing,
1:06:47
who do you think's are five that first plate?
1:06:50
Now we will advise. We feel like he's probably going
1:06:53
to advise you to play at some point but if you think this is
1:06:57
how we're going to roll against NC State.
1:06:59
What do you think it's going to look like and And Hoosier, I'll
1:07:06
let you go. I'll let you cheat a little bit.
1:07:08
Like these are the next two guys in that'll be immediately
1:07:10
rotated in. All right, so let's see here.
1:07:16
Obviously we're going with dare Assad left.
1:07:20
Definitely think. Let's see.
1:07:21
This is going to be locked in at left guard, okay?
1:07:25
And I think to Noodles going to win the battle at right tackle.
1:07:29
Okay, yeah. Okay, let's do the easy ones.
1:07:35
All right, so it makes it easy because he can
1:08:11
play. So if you're talking about,
1:08:15
let's mix it up. Well it's easy to hate.
1:08:17
We're going to take we're going to take dug out this series and
1:08:20
put in HUD Or you know, we're going to let brought take out
1:08:25
this series and put in HUD move Brock to right?
1:08:27
We'll move dog to left. I think that's the seven and
1:08:31
that's no knock to some of the other guys, man.
1:08:35
Again, I've told you I'd love to see us when we get up like 14 on
1:08:40
the team mid 4th for over seven and a half minutes left when
1:08:45
they just like running. And we're going to run seven
1:08:48
offensive linemen out there with Quincy and With Quincy and like,
1:08:53
Marco lie or Jalen Holston just like, we're just going to run
1:08:55
power right at you. Boom you're not by the third
1:08:59
time. You're not tackle eligible,
1:09:01
tackle eligible. There will be so yeah that's
1:09:12
that's my dream and I'm sure most offensive lineman that's
1:09:15
their dream to put seven offensive lineman on the feet.
1:09:18
Oh yeah. You get, you get up late and
1:09:20
just throw 7 out there and just pass.
1:09:22
On them into submission, that's why some crappy do all Madden.
1:09:27
Or the old college football games where it's like, let me
1:09:30
see, I'll put you in here and I'll put you here and I'm just
1:09:34
gonna run off tackle. Yep.
1:09:36
And you see them and package substitution put the tackles
1:09:39
appetite in. Let's roll.
1:09:41
Let's roll and it's like, we're gonna run off.
1:09:44
Tackle the wait a second, wait a minute.
1:09:47
They're in what, what? This isn't fair to those poor
1:09:50
defensive backs are about to Get smashed.
1:09:53
Yep. Moving the computers dumb enough
1:09:55
to be like accidentally running, nickel One play and they just
1:09:57
get completely annihilated that they have like three in June
1:10:03
defensive backs on one play. Love it.
1:10:07
So, we went through a lot here guys.
1:10:10
A lot of our perspectives, coach Fuente days.
1:10:13
So this is what we want to ask. Which fresh-faced do you think's
1:10:16
going to provide the most impact this year?
1:10:19
Ryan, who do you think? So, let's are we pretending that
1:10:26
the waiver doesn't get approved? Or we are we saying we can put
1:10:30
lecture in this puzzle. You can put Blackshear in the
1:10:34
puzzle Blackshear. And you talked about a lot of
1:11:05
the stuff in cornelison like to do, if you have that one guy,
1:11:10
that could take two guys with them out of the box.
1:11:13
You think of the space for blacks to you think of the space
1:11:16
for Trey Turner? You think of seem routes for
1:11:18
James Mitchell, you think of lanes for Herbert, you think of
1:11:21
running lanes for hooker? I think if he if it's just that
1:11:27
post and getting him on some screens to use that athletic
1:11:30
ability, I think, This offense which its admitted.
1:11:34
Let's admit it to anybody wants to come out there and go hard at
1:11:38
for Wednesday's crew. Our offense has not been bad.
1:11:43
No has not been bad since he stepped on campus.
1:11:47
Especially if you just look at the hooker games from last year,
1:11:51
it was pretty damn good. It was damn good against them in
1:11:55
some damn. The defense is at that so I feel
1:11:58
like he's the guy that if that fresh face.
1:12:03
That provide the most impact, I think you will because I think
1:12:07
you put him out there. The scouting reports are going
1:12:10
to stay on him. He's freaking fast.
1:12:13
You're going to see that free safety.
1:12:14
He's not going to be 10 yards. He can be 20 because he knows if
1:12:18
you know my left cornerback gets beat and I'm not 20 yards back
1:12:22
and they put it on the money, it's a house call.
1:12:25
Yep. Yep.
1:12:27
And this is this is no disrespect to guys like, you
1:12:31
know, her better bar. Know that are We going to see
1:12:33
some big impact this year as well.
1:12:35
So the Hoffman. Yeah.
1:12:45
But we just kind of you see black here as I see Jake, you
1:12:51
see them that if we get the ball with things, we do on our
1:12:55
offense, how they can affect the game.
1:12:58
It goes us from being where we've been last few years
1:13:01
somewhere between about 16:30. To potentially to be in a top
1:13:05
20, top 15 offense. And if that happens watch out, I
1:13:10
think the difference between our pics is that I see how black
1:13:14
share can directly impact things.
1:13:15
And you see how if pay yo can do these couple things really well.
1:13:20
How much it'll open up everything else in the offense.
1:13:22
I think that's really the two differences between our pics
1:13:25
there. Exactly.
1:13:27
