  Speaker 2: It's definitely a good spot. How you feel need pressure
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and weight with the last name youhold.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's pressure. I think it's more so
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: just like expectation from everybody else, myself individually, just blocking
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that out, kind of just focusing on myself because every
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: day can't be a better roser. So you know you're
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: gonna go through some adversity, you know, I like it,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: like when it's adversity. I like it because I like
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to see how people react and how people so quick
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to change their opinions. You know, I'm so used to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it now. It's not pressure. It's kind of just you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I know what it comes with. Over here, it's like
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: this where we eat breakfast at after practice, and you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: everywhere you go, I feel like it's some motivation throughout
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the gym. So over here you got the retired jerseys,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you know, the grace that came here before us.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it also just speaks to the type of program
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: this is. Like no matter where you go, there's so
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: many memories that can be put on these walls, like
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: so many greats came before us, and you can just
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: constantly remind it in a good way, like that you
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: always have more work to do and that you can
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: potentially get there because it was in the same spot
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: as us. So now we're on the second floor, so
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: we're going to show y'all what goes on up here. Immediately,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: you got the jerseys, some old shoes that they wore.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I like the KDS right there, the black ones, those
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: are the old ones. You can't beat those. Those classes
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and then again greats right here on the oil reminded
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: again more motivation for right here, that's where our coaches
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: offices are. You know, we be coming up here watch
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: film with them, chop it up. It's jail, that's the goat.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Right there, she'd be handing out great candy. I don't
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: eat candy though, but she'd be having like Rees's cuff.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: She always got the candy. Yeah. And then this is
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: where good stuff happening and star our film room. You know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: we'd be up here for hours, you know, watching game film,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: trying and work on things that we need to get
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: better with, meeting, talking, just discussing different things like that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So here we got This was when they set like
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the record for the most uh people on a college
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: campus game. I think it was like over thirty two
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: k or something like that. It was when they played
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Due It was crazy like it should. I think the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: number is somewhere up here. But the big match be
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: gets looking forward to this year that you got to
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: back out.

  Speaker 1: here and you know, we can put that to Tennessee,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: so that that's definitely gonna be a pack game.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: God, you can speak on this world.
• 6:39

• 6:43
  Speaker 1: get a lot of my work done here cause you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: for me on campus, it's a lot when I go
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to campus, I'm walking around and stuff like that. So
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I come here with my academic advice to getting my
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: work done and stuff like that, and then you know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: try to go to class.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: For me, it's more so of like when I need
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: to come up and ask questions about the class that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I'm taking or like future classes I need to take,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: So he gets like my schedule right with that. But

• 7:07
  Speaker 2: see on the wall, these are previous first round picks.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And then most of these guys are like they come
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: back to the facility, you know, give knowledge and wisdom
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So you really interact with some
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: of these guys. So being able to see them on
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the wall, like I said before, it just inspires you
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that you could get there one day because they were
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in the same exact position that we are right now.
