- 1:07Speaker 2: few people on earth that are any better at it.
- 1:09Speaker 2: If any that's Ari Tempkin kind enough to join us
- 1:12Speaker 2: here on the Sean O'Connor Show. Ari, thanks for pushing
- 1:15Speaker 2: to today. I appreciate you. How are you?
- 1:18Speaker 3: I'm great?
- 1:19Speaker 4: O' see?
- 1:19Speaker 3: How are you happy to hear that your daughter's doing
- 1:21Speaker 3: all right, but yeah, no, thanks man, appreciate you.
- 1:23Speaker 5: Yeah, she's on the mend.
- 1:24Speaker 2: So excited about that, and equally excited about the fact
- 1:29Speaker 2: that we are now weeks away, set a months away.
- 1:33Speaker 2: We are weeks away from the beginning of a Big
- 1:36Speaker 2: twelve college football season. We'll start with things here.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Eighteen days, eighteen days to week zero.
- 1:44Speaker 2: We're twenty three days away from Utah kicking it off
- 1:47Speaker 2: against Idaho, but eighteen days away from your first Big
- 1:50Speaker 2: twelve game, eighteen days away from those week zero games.
- 1:53Speaker 2: So yeah, we're we're almost there. Ari, it's right around
- 1:57Speaker 2: the corner. And we'll start with the University of Utah. Obviously,
- 2:01Speaker 2: we paid close attention and we got people going up
- 2:04Speaker 2: and gathering sound of camp. Has has anything filtered into
- 2:08Speaker 2: the Ari Tempkins sphere of interest from the emerging stories
- 2:12Speaker 2: or the sound bites out of Utah football so far?
- 2:17Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question. I mean, look, I think
- 2:23Speaker 3: as camp is underway, and it's funny because you know,
- 2:25Speaker 3: in doing work with the Dallas Cowboys too, you see
- 2:28Speaker 3: like there's so much noise and there's so much attention
- 2:32Speaker 3: being paid to what's happening in practice, and I would
- 2:34Speaker 3: imagine even more so with what's happening in Utah, given
- 2:37Speaker 3: you've got you know, a new uh, a new regime.
- 2:42Speaker 3: It's funny though, because it feels like I'm not even
- 2:45Speaker 3: in reference to Utah, paying more attention to what Kyle
- 2:47Speaker 3: Whittingham is saying. You know how state rivalry is a
- 2:53Speaker 3: big dealer now, Like I saw answering questions about that,
- 2:56Speaker 3: you know, and and he's just in a blender in
- 2:59Speaker 3: a way that I hope think he ever anticipated or
- 3:01Speaker 3: clearly ever was a Utah It's sort of fun to watch.
- 3:04Speaker 3: And meanwhile, like under the radar, I think Morgan scally
- 3:07Speaker 3: has his crew you know, dialed in. I just know
- 3:12Speaker 3: the confidence that they showed and scaley in particular on
- 3:16Speaker 3: the biggest flaws or perceived flause for the team, like
- 3:20Speaker 3: they're being self aware is super important for humanity as people,
- 3:26Speaker 3: and I think it's also very important as a football
- 3:29Speaker 3: coach and with a football team. And I would say
- 3:31Speaker 3: that there's no better example of a coach being more
- 3:34Speaker 3: self aware than Morgan Scalley in Utah in terms of flaws,
- 3:38Speaker 3: perceived flaws, perceived weaknesses and those kinds of things.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Okay, people are probably sick of hearing me talk about
- 3:49Speaker 2: this kid, because he's a true freshman who as of
- 3:52Speaker 2: yet hasn't done anything for the University of Utah, And
- 3:55Speaker 2: obviously the hope is before he leaves here he's going
- 3:57Speaker 2: to be an All American and maybe a first NFL
- 4:00Speaker 2: draft pick. But for now, he's the highest rated recruit
- 4:05Speaker 2: in the program's history, and he's on every list of
- 4:08Speaker 2: most important freshmen in the Big Twelve, most important freshman
- 4:11Speaker 2: football players in the nation, things like that. I put
- 4:14Speaker 2: a question out for our listeners last week whether or
- 4:18Speaker 2: not they think Kelvin Obot starts over under five and
- 4:22Speaker 2: a half games on the season. And there's a lot
- 4:25Speaker 2: of wrinkles to this, all of which I think you
- 4:27Speaker 2: could probably infer without me trying to explain. But I'll
- 4:32Speaker 2: ask you the over under. Do you think Kelvin Obot
- 4:35Speaker 2: starts more than half the season or less than half
- 4:38Speaker 2: the season at whatever position along that offensive line for Utah?
- 4:43Speaker 3: I would take the over on that. I would take
- 4:46Speaker 3: the over on that. You know, it's we live in
- 4:49Speaker 3: a world right now where expectations for the premier positions
- 4:57Speaker 3: at a young age are being met, and it's I mean,
- 5:01Speaker 3: when you look at the Big Twelve as a whole.
- 5:04Speaker 3: West Virginia is doing a similar dynamic here with their
- 5:07Speaker 3: left tackle and Kevin Brown, who is not as highly
- 5:10Speaker 3: recruited as Obot, but is in position to be their
- 5:14Speaker 3: day one starter at left tackle. A couple of years ago,
- 5:17Speaker 3: Jordan Seeden, who's I would say similarly ranked with Kevin
- 5:20Speaker 3: Obot at Colorado, started from day one and was pretty
- 5:25Speaker 3: dog gone good despite the offensive line around him being
- 5:28Speaker 3: pretty terrible. I mean, it's all around us in terms
- 5:32Speaker 3: of the development of athletes overall. Like we're in baseball,
- 5:36Speaker 3: you know, we're seeing guys gets the major leagues quicker
- 5:39Speaker 3: than ever before. You know, the White Sox distracted Rock
- 5:42Speaker 3: Schlawski from UCLA with the number one pick, and there's
- 5:45Speaker 3: talk that the way he's ascending in a few weeks
- 5:47Speaker 3: he could be with the White Sox by the end
- 5:49Speaker 3: of the year. These things are unheard of in the
- 5:52Speaker 3: last ten twenty years in sports. And like the quarterback position,
- 5:55Speaker 3: we've obviously seen a string of four or five star
- 5:59Speaker 3: freshmen starting quarterback across college football. Again, like you look
- 6:03Speaker 3: at the nineties, in two even early two thousands, like
- 6:06Speaker 3: this this was unheard of. You know, even Tua when
- 6:09Speaker 3: he came into the National Championship game was like a
- 6:11Speaker 3: true freshman coming in in that spot. So I think
- 6:15Speaker 3: when you look at quarterbacks, you look at left tackles,
- 6:17Speaker 3: you look at defensive ends, it almost seems like there's
- 6:20Speaker 3: an expectation when there are guys recruited that highly that
- 6:23Speaker 3: they're going to play right away. And it's not just
- 6:26Speaker 3: an expectation, it's because of the development of these kids
- 6:29Speaker 3: from a young age. It's they're becoming pros earlier. They
- 6:32Speaker 3: understand how to take care of their bodies more at
- 6:35Speaker 3: an earlier age. They understand the what goes into it
- 6:38Speaker 3: from a you know, a nutritional standpoint earlier from a
- 6:43Speaker 3: younger age. So I think all these factors play into
- 6:45Speaker 3: why these guys not only are able to play earlier,
- 6:48Speaker 3: but are able to be better earlier. So I'll take
- 6:51Speaker 3: the over on that. Everything I've heard about this kid
- 6:54Speaker 3: tells me that they'd be crazy not to find a
- 6:56Speaker 3: spot for him to start on that offensive line this year.
- 6:58Speaker 3: It's specially given the tackle position and what they're what
- 7:02Speaker 3: they are losing from last year.
- 7:05Speaker 2: So I'm with you on that. I think there's a
- 7:07Speaker 2: lot of Utah fans that are are dubious about whether
- 7:10Speaker 2: or not they want to take that risk. But for
- 7:14Speaker 2: him and for every other young player, not only at
- 7:17Speaker 2: Utah but in this in this big twelve conference, right,
- 7:21Speaker 2: I feel as though the coaches all have to do
- 7:24Speaker 2: this delicate, you know, tightrope walk, where Okay, I've got
- 7:27Speaker 2: this young guy coming in, or I've got this transfer
- 7:29Speaker 2: that I think is going to be great, whatever, and
- 7:33Speaker 2: I could use him now and maybe I you know,
- 7:37Speaker 2: maybe he's eighty percent of my returning starter, maybe he's
- 7:40Speaker 2: ninety percent of my returning starter, or I could I
- 7:44Speaker 2: could just.
- 7:44Speaker 5: Go with like the old reliable.
- 7:47Speaker 2: So where do you stand on Where do you think
- 7:50Speaker 2: these coaches stand on the higher upside? That might be riskier,
- 7:54Speaker 2: especially if you're Texas Tech, your BYU, you're Houston, You're Arizona,
- 8:00Speaker 2: at your Utah where you think this year could be
- 8:02Speaker 2: a good year for you, You're Morgan Scally, You're like,
- 8:04Speaker 2: I want to get this thing started off the right way,
- 8:06Speaker 2: but I also need to make sure that I'm you know,
- 8:09Speaker 2: developing these guys and building this thing for the future.
- 8:12Speaker 5: Where do you draw the line on that balance?
- 8:14Speaker 3: Ari?
- 8:15Speaker 2: Is it just the best player available? No matter how
- 8:18Speaker 2: much you know upside there is. The timing doesn't matter.
- 8:21Speaker 2: I just need the guy who's going to produce this
- 8:23Speaker 2: week the most, or do you play a little bit
- 8:26Speaker 2: of the I might have to suffer a little bit
- 8:29Speaker 2: with some errors in the first half of the season,
- 8:31Speaker 2: thinking that by the end of the year then he's
- 8:34Speaker 2: really ready to be the guy I want.
- 8:36Speaker 4: Him to be.
- 8:37Speaker 3: That's a great question, and I think if you talk
- 8:40Speaker 3: to fifteen different people, you probably would get fifteen different answers.
- 8:45Speaker 3: I mean, I would start with your offensive line coach,
- 8:48Speaker 3: and I think you know, given the experience, giving his knowledge,
- 8:53Speaker 3: given what he's been through, and even though he's new
- 8:56Speaker 3: into coaching in this capacity, boy does he have a
- 8:58Speaker 3: ton of incredible experience at that position and playing at
- 9:01Speaker 3: a high level. And so in some ways, Number one,
- 9:05Speaker 3: I'm going to defer to him, who's the better player?
- 9:07Speaker 3: That's my first question to him. Who's the better player
- 9:10Speaker 3: in your mind? Okay? And then now let's dig deeper
- 9:13Speaker 3: into who's the better player five weeks into the season,
- 9:16Speaker 3: and if Obat gets four weeks of experience, is he
- 9:20Speaker 3: going to be better if in week five than this
- 9:22Speaker 3: guy that we know about chan't. I'm I'm usually gonna
- 9:26Speaker 3: be the ceiling guy, because you know what, the it's
- 9:31Speaker 3: great to have old, reliable and have the ceiling that
- 9:33Speaker 3: you know and that's established. But if my floor and
- 9:37Speaker 3: with obat my floor is not very.
- 9:39Speaker 4: Low, is as close enough to that ceiling of the
- 9:44Speaker 4: guy that I know, then I'm fine taking some lumps
- 9:48Speaker 4: early on the problem.
- 9:50Speaker 3: The difference here is in the development. Number one. I
- 9:53Speaker 3: think kids are mentally tougher in some ways, and that
- 9:56Speaker 3: like I'm not worried about like if he starts day
- 9:58Speaker 3: one and then he doesn't grow and get better and
- 10:02Speaker 3: he's dealing with some adversity, I can bench him for
- 10:04Speaker 3: a few weeks and I'm not going to kill him,
- 10:06Speaker 3: and I'm not going to kill his confidence because I
- 10:08Speaker 3: think that that was always something in the back of
- 10:10Speaker 3: people's minds. They talked about playing some of those you know,
- 10:12Speaker 3: those those phenoms quote unquote early on. I don't know
- 10:16Speaker 3: that we've seen that. I mean, we've seen guys that
- 10:18Speaker 3: have bounced back from that kind of stuff, and I
- 10:20Speaker 3: just think there's a mele toughness in an edge that
- 10:22Speaker 3: allows guys to get better. But ultimately I would rather
- 10:26Speaker 3: go with the guy with the higher ceiling, and I
- 10:28Speaker 3: wouldn't be afraid to replace him if I'm four or
- 10:31Speaker 3: five weeks into the season and I'm not seeing that growth,
- 10:33Speaker 3: because to me, again, it's all about who's better. And
- 10:36Speaker 3: you know, if it is that they're close enough and
- 10:38Speaker 3: that we think the guy with the higher ceiling and
- 10:40Speaker 3: the five star freshmen and five weeks he's going to
- 10:43Speaker 3: be significantly better and he's not, you know, then I'm
- 10:45Speaker 3: probably going to go with the guy there's ceiling, I know,
- 10:48Speaker 3: deeper into the season, because if the guy isn't progressing
- 10:51Speaker 3: by week four, week five, chances are he's not going
- 10:53Speaker 3: to progress by week eight or week nine, and he's
- 10:56Speaker 3: probably going to get better off. And you know by
- 11:00Speaker 3: learning and watching and observing, and I think, look, everybody's different,
- 11:03Speaker 3: and I would hope by now Morgan Scaley would have
- 11:05Speaker 3: and Jordan Gross too would have a good sense of
- 11:06Speaker 3: the personality of each of their players, especially along that
- 11:09Speaker 3: offensive line. And you got to know, like, is he
- 11:12Speaker 3: the type of guy that wants to push you see,
- 11:13Speaker 3: the type of guy that lacks confidence, you know, or
- 11:15Speaker 3: is he over the comp you know? I think so
- 11:18Speaker 3: much of this too. For me, depends on the person
- 11:21Speaker 3: and making sure that you know, I'm doing what's in
- 11:24Speaker 3: the best interest of that person based on their personality,
- 11:27Speaker 3: because you know, no two people are alike that way,
- 11:29Speaker 3: and people are gonna be motivated and captivated by different things.
- 11:34Speaker 4: Uh.
- 11:34Speaker 2: ESPN put out an article about how much each position
- 11:40Speaker 2: costs in college football these days, and obviously this is
- 11:43Speaker 2: a major topic of discussion in the Big Twelve because
- 11:45Speaker 2: you have to keep up with the Joneses of the
- 11:47Speaker 2: Big Ten and the SEC and Notre Dame and things
- 11:50Speaker 2: like that. Do we know definitively who the highest paid
- 11:54Speaker 2: player in this Big twelve is? Because it seemed like
- 11:56Speaker 2: it was going to be Brandon Soresby at Texas Tech,
- 11:59Speaker 2: and you know that is now a mess. Do we
- 12:02Speaker 2: know who the highest paid player in the Big Twelve.
- 12:05Speaker 3: Is this year? It's a great question. I'm trying to
- 12:09Speaker 3: think through that. I would imagine it's still a player
- 12:11Speaker 3: on Texas Tech. I'm trying to think. I know, Cutter
- 12:14Speaker 3: Bowley is pretty cost a decent amount Arizona State, but
- 12:18Speaker 3: I don't know that he I mean, he certainly is
- 12:20Speaker 3: not in the Soresby category, nor is he in the
- 12:22Speaker 3: Sam Levitt or or Josh Hoover category. I'm trying to
- 12:25Speaker 3: think of other incoming quarterbacks of the lines of Barnett.
- 12:30Speaker 3: You know, I'm sure that he costs, you know, U
- 12:32Speaker 3: us ucs a ton of money. My guess is it's
- 12:38Speaker 3: probably somebody at Texas Tech. It could be one of
- 12:41Speaker 3: their edge rushers that they added, It could be one
- 12:45Speaker 3: of the tackles either that they've added or maintained. It's
- 12:49Speaker 3: a great question, though, because I don't think it's Keishaan Henderson,
- 12:54Speaker 3: the five star and coming freshman for quarterback at Houston.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Do you have any thoughts on this is a great
- 12:59Speaker 3: question here. It was easily, so easily was the highest
- 13:03Speaker 3: paid player in college football.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like, okay, it's easily Brendan Soresby. Okay,
- 13:07Speaker 2: now it's not. So it's not Will Hammond, Right, it's not.
- 13:12Speaker 3: It's not.
- 13:13Speaker 2: It's not Devin Dan Pierre. So is it Boldie? Like
- 13:16Speaker 2: you said, is Bear Bachmeyer or LJ. Martin in that
- 13:19Speaker 2: conversation because BYU is always like, We're not going to
- 13:21Speaker 2: be the highest bidder, but you're a high bidder. A
- 13:25Speaker 2: lot of these guys, so, right, like, what is Arizona
- 13:29Speaker 2: that they have to pay a bunch of money to
- 13:31Speaker 2: keep noa Fafita around. So, I mean, I feel like
- 13:34Speaker 2: we have a pretty good sense of things everywhere else
- 13:36Speaker 2: in college football, and then these other conferences, and because
- 13:40Speaker 2: of the soorsby situation, I think that that question goes
- 13:43Speaker 2: for me a little bit unanswered until we find out
- 13:46Speaker 2: better information. But uh, the reason I asked that question
- 13:50Speaker 2: in the beginning, and this will be the last thing
- 13:51Speaker 2: before we let you go.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Uh.
- 13:53Speaker 2: You know, as we we see this thing trending and
- 13:55Speaker 2: you hear all these coaches warning about, hey, you got
- 13:58Speaker 2: to slow down this arms race, it's unsustainable.
- 14:01Speaker 5: Even the big dogs say it's unsustainable. Even Oregon in
- 14:04Speaker 5: Michigan and Ohio State and Alabama are saying it's unsustainable.
- 14:08Speaker 5: How much longer can not Texas Tech, but the rest
- 14:13Speaker 5: of the Big twelve sustain If we don't get Congress
- 14:16Speaker 5: intervening and we don't get how much longer can this
- 14:19Speaker 5: thing run out before it truly becomes that becomes unsustainable
- 14:23Speaker 5: at the Big twelve level, with the exception of Texas Tech.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I would tell you at this point,
- 14:30Speaker 3: at the Big twelve level, it is very unsustainable. It
- 14:33Speaker 3: is also funny as you alluded to that the folks
- 14:36Speaker 3: that are setting the market here are the ones saying
- 14:39Speaker 3: it's unsustainable. But you're the one setting the market, so
- 14:42Speaker 3: you're you're clearly proven that it is sustainable. They just
- 14:46Speaker 3: obviously don't want to spend it. I mean, we're talking
- 14:48Speaker 3: about how much money that they're spending a lot of programs.
- 14:52Speaker 3: Michigan is a great example of this, to you know,
- 14:57Speaker 3: to pay coaches not to coach, to pay administrators not
- 15:00Speaker 3: to administrate. I mean that Michigan is paying a ton
- 15:03Speaker 3: for that. So you know, the coffers are you know,
- 15:07Speaker 3: are full, and they're obviously having these insane expenditures right now.
- 15:12Speaker 3: But I'm I'm a fair market guy, and quite frankly,
- 15:16Speaker 3: the market continues to rise because the market value still
- 15:19Speaker 3: hasn't been reached for these players. It is an unfortunate
- 15:22Speaker 3: situation for the Big twelve because it all goes back
- 15:25Speaker 3: to the fact that the Big ten and the SEC
- 15:27Speaker 3: are making literally twice as much money year over year
- 15:30Speaker 3: in their television revenue. So whereas BYU and many of
- 15:35Speaker 3: these other Texas tech at U Tom these programs may
- 15:37Speaker 3: have you know, really influential boosters that carry you know,
- 15:42Speaker 3: heavy checkbooks. Remember the checks they're writing are just trying
- 15:45Speaker 3: to make up at this point for the you know,
- 15:48Speaker 3: for the the money that the Big twelve schools aren't
- 15:51Speaker 3: getting relative to the Big Ten of the SEC. So
- 15:54Speaker 3: like they're only making up for what is the difference
- 15:57Speaker 3: between what the Big twelve is getting versus is the
- 16:00Speaker 3: Big ten in the SEC, whereas SEC and Big ten schools,
- 16:03Speaker 3: who are also deep pocketed, are making that money twice
- 16:06Speaker 3: as much money as everybody else and then adding very
- 16:09Speaker 3: lucrative boosters to the table. I'm looking at Michigan specifically here,
- 16:12Speaker 3: who have extremely rich boosters, lots of them, and again
- 16:16Speaker 3: they're already in front of everybody. You know, it's really interesting, Sean.
- 16:20Speaker 3: One of the things that I was looking into is
- 16:23Speaker 3: the percentage of the homegrown talent in the Big twelve.
- 16:27Speaker 3: The Big twelve has two top ten programs nationally in
- 16:32Speaker 3: percentage of homegrown talent. Basically, what percentage of your roster
- 16:35Speaker 3: started at your school as a true freshman? Two watching
- 16:38Speaker 3: a stab at who those two are. One of them
- 16:43Speaker 3: is in the state, it's not it's not your school,
- 16:46Speaker 3: so byu yep in Texas, but it ain't Texas Tech.
- 16:52Speaker 2: So BYU in Houston CCU WOW top ten.
- 16:58Speaker 3: Now, the third look at at the Big Twelve, specifically
- 17:01Speaker 3: number three in the Big Twelve is Texas Tech at
- 17:04Speaker 3: about seventy six percent, which is forty second nationally. So
- 17:10Speaker 3: the Big Twelve has two teams the top ten of
- 17:13Speaker 3: homegrown talent, and Texas Tech is third at forty second.
- 17:19Speaker 3: That's a big problem for this conference because that's what's
- 17:22Speaker 3: not sustainable. That is not what's not sustainable, because look,
- 17:27Speaker 3: you're going to have to pay for four and five
- 17:29Speaker 3: star players, there's no doubt about it. But if the
- 17:30Speaker 3: price tag as high as it would be for a transfer,
- 17:33Speaker 3: especially I think given the nature and if you've got
- 17:36Speaker 3: a guy that's let's say a four star, and you've
- 17:38Speaker 3: got him on a deal and you say like, hey,
- 17:40Speaker 3: you hit certain thresholds and now it's you know, now
- 17:43Speaker 3: you're your revenue is going up. But that's that's where
- 17:46Speaker 3: I think the Big Twelve is really missing out. And
- 17:49Speaker 3: the Big Twelve has become a transient conference. And I
- 17:52Speaker 3: think we know that acdotally, but analytically it's it's proving
- 17:55Speaker 3: itself out too, and I think that OC is more
- 17:58Speaker 3: unsustainable than anything else.

- 18:04Speaker 2: time today. Keep killing it on all the big twelve stuff,
