Scottie Scheffler lingering at The Masters, Arch Manning's spring with CJ Vogel and checking in with Craig Way from Kentucky · The Craig Way Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome into today's show.
0:01
Speaker 2: I'm Cameron Parker filling in for Greg Way, who is
0:03
Speaker 2: wheels up to Lexington, Kentucky for Texas Baseball this weekend,
0:10
Speaker 2: the Texas Longhorn second ranked team in the country, on
0:14
Speaker 2: the road against the Kentucky Wildcats in an SEC Conference matchup.
0:18
Speaker 2: So Creig Way and Keith Morland heading out to the
0:22
Speaker 2: Bluegrass State and they will be joining us later on
0:24
Speaker 2: here in today's program, hopefully the three o'clock hour, we
0:26
Speaker 2: will visit with Craig Way and Keith Moreland. Of course
0:30
Speaker 2: we're going to talk Texas Baseball. We're going to talk
0:34
Speaker 2: the Masters where Scotty Scheffler just one shot back from
0:38
Speaker 2: Justin Rose atop the leaderboard right now as Scotty looks
0:42
Speaker 2: to go back to back in return to Butler Cabin
0:48
Speaker 2: with the Green Jacket will give you update its on
0:51
Speaker 2: so far the first round and all the ongoings.
0:54
Speaker 1: We're going to talk with CJ.
0:55
Speaker 2: Fogel from on Texas Football later on today's show, actually
0:59
Speaker 2: coming up next as he was down talking with Arch
1:03
Speaker 2: Manning and Trey Wisner and many other Jax's Longhorne's football players.
1:09
Speaker 2: After I believe would practice number nine today maybe number eight,
1:13
Speaker 2: but there was a local availability made with players, So
1:15
Speaker 2: we're gonna get CJ's thoughts on that, get his thoughts
1:17
Speaker 2: on what else is new surrounding Texas spring football, some
1:22
Speaker 2: positional battles, some latest injuries, some new numbers, all that
1:26
Speaker 2: good stuff and more. Of course, last night was Lucas's
1:31
Speaker 2: return to Dallas, so very emotional return. The Lakers would
1:36
Speaker 2: defeat the Dallas Mavericks I think one twelve to ninety seven,
1:40
Speaker 2: Luca with forty five points in the victory. Just a
1:44
Speaker 2: typical Luca dunch It's performance. I know Mavericks fans were
1:49
Speaker 2: not surprised. We're gonna hear from Luca. He teared up
1:53
Speaker 2: in the pregame ceremony when they played a tribute video
1:56
Speaker 2: that was dedicated to them. CJ is also a Dallas kid,
1:59
Speaker 2: so we're going to get his thoughts on on lucas
2:01
Speaker 2: return as well as always inconceivable on this Thursday, despite
2:06
Speaker 2: no Craig Way, and hopefully we're going to hear from
2:09
Speaker 2: those Texas football players and even maybe Texas basketball player
2:13
Speaker 2: Rory Harmon, who did announce yesterday that she will return
2:17
Speaker 2: for her final season in Austin at or Texas lost
2:20
Speaker 2: to South Carolina in the Final four, so a big
2:24
Speaker 2: return for Fix Shaeffer in the Texas Longhorns, who had
2:30
Speaker 2: three players recognized on Senior Night, Rory Harmon, Taylor Jones,
2:34
Speaker 2: and Alea Moore. Now I believe Taylor Jones is no
2:37
Speaker 2: longer has any availability left, but I do believe that
2:41
Speaker 2: Leah Moore does as well, but no decision yet from
2:45
Speaker 2: her camp. Still not sure what's on deck for Leah Moore,
2:48
Speaker 2: but we do know that Rory Harmon will be returning
2:52
Speaker 2: to the Texas Longhorns this next season, So a big, big,
2:57
Speaker 2: big return for Fix Shaffer or so Leah Crump, one
3:00
Speaker 2: of the talented high school players in the country, will
3:03
Speaker 2: be joining Texas next season as they look to run
3:05
Speaker 2: it back in the Southeastern Conference and maybe make that
3:09
Speaker 2: Final four thing consistent. As always, we would love to
3:15
Speaker 2: hear from your thoughts on today's show. Of course, text
3:17
Speaker 2: to word Texas to eight one, five three zero, followed
3:20
Speaker 2: by your message hear your thoughts on maybe the Masters,
3:24
Speaker 2: on anything else as well, And of course, if you
3:26
Speaker 2: want to join the show, you can leave a message
3:29
Speaker 2: on the free iHeart radio app using the talk back feature.
3:33
Speaker 2: It's the best way to listen to this show, to
3:35
Speaker 2: the morning kickoff, the best way to listen to Texas
3:38
Speaker 2: baseball in Texas Softball. All right, let's go ahead and
3:43
Speaker 2: take a look at the master's leaderboard right now. We're
3:46
Speaker 2: actually a familiar name atop the leader board, but he
3:50
Speaker 2: has not won at Augusta yet, even though he's been
3:53
Speaker 2: in contention many many times, including ten years ago when
3:56
Speaker 2: he finished runner up to Jordan's speed. That is Justin Rose,
3:59
Speaker 2: who is in who went in with a thirty one
4:04
Speaker 2: Holy Cal five hundred par for the first three to nine,
4:08
Speaker 2: so for the first nine holes, including three straight birdies
4:12
Speaker 2: on one, two and three, made birdies on eight and
4:16
Speaker 2: nine and currently sits at five under par all alone.
4:19
Speaker 2: We've had a couple players get the four under par today,
4:23
Speaker 2: including Steven Jaeger, including Aaron Ry, they would end up
4:26
Speaker 2: falling back down. Then finally Terrell Hatton got the four
4:29
Speaker 2: under par, then Kate Corey Connors, then Justin Rose and
4:32
Speaker 2: Rose went to five, and then Scotty Scheffler who just
4:35
Speaker 2: made a long bird he put at sixteen. So currently
4:37
Speaker 2: Justin Rose leading the way at five under par, and
4:41
Speaker 2: then a three way tie in second place, Corey Connors,
4:43
Speaker 2: who's actually the clubhouse leader after this first round with
4:47
Speaker 2: a sixty eight. He shot four under, Scotty Scheffler who
4:50
Speaker 2: is on the seventeenth poll at four under par, and
4:53
Speaker 2: then Terrell Hatton who just hit his shot on the
4:56
Speaker 2: sixteenth par three to about twenty to thirty feet. That's
4:59
Speaker 2: a look to joined Justin Rose. Well, actually not, because
5:02
Speaker 2: Justin Rose just made Bertie on the tenth hole, folks.
5:05
Speaker 2: So Justin Rose has now made three straight birdies on eight,
5:09
Speaker 2: nine and ten and ten's a tough hole, eleven footer
5:13
Speaker 2: for Bertie.
5:14
Speaker 1: Justin Rose all alone at six under par.
5:16
Speaker 2: Now, remember it was the last season, the two thousand
5:21
Speaker 2: and four twenty twenty four to twenty three. It was
5:24
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three Justin Rose came out, was your first
5:27
Speaker 2: round leader. He ended up shooting. That was the year
5:29
Speaker 2: John Rahm would win. But Justin Rose actually the first
5:32
Speaker 2: round shot up. No, Actually it may have been twenty
5:35
Speaker 2: twenty two, So was three years ago that Justin Rose
5:39
Speaker 2: was your first round leader. It may have been even
5:42
Speaker 2: longer than that, but Rose has come out before and
5:45
Speaker 2: has climbed the leaderboard.
5:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was twenty twenty one.
5:49
Speaker 2: Sorry shot up sixty five, led by four shots over
5:52
Speaker 2: Brian Harmon, an eventual winner at deckie Matt Siama, so
5:55
Speaker 2: not surprised to see the englishman. Justin Rose shows some
5:59
Speaker 2: signs the life here, but six under par. Currently he's
6:02
Speaker 2: got a two shot lead over Corey Connor Scotty Scheffler
6:05
Speaker 2: into Lhattan. But of course Rose still lots of golf
6:08
Speaker 2: left on the golf course. So Scotty, by the way
6:12
Speaker 2: at four hundred is just playing your typical Scotty Scheffler
6:15
Speaker 2: type round.
6:18
Speaker 1: No bogey so far on the scoreboard.
6:20
Speaker 2: For Scotty, made birdie at two of the par five,
6:24
Speaker 2: made birdie on four with a very long birdie putt
6:26
Speaker 2: from about thirty forty to fifty feet to go. The
6:31
Speaker 2: two under par ended up making birdie on the par
6:34
Speaker 2: five eighth hole, so made the turn at three under par.
6:39
Speaker 2: Would go through aim and Corner without any noise, would
6:42
Speaker 2: go par par park, including barring that thirteenth hole.
6:46
Speaker 1: The par five end.
6:47
Speaker 2: Up making a par on the fifteenth hole, another part five,
6:50
Speaker 2: but on the sixteenth hole just knocked down a long
6:54
Speaker 2: birdie putt to get the four under par, So Scotty
6:57
Speaker 2: Scheffler is at four under part despite no birding two
7:00
Speaker 2: of the easier holes on the course. He's now on
7:03
Speaker 2: the seventeenth hole as he is about one hundred and
7:08
Speaker 2: thirty nine yards away from the green, an absolute smoke
7:11
Speaker 2: of a drive down the seventeenth side, left side of
7:14
Speaker 2: the fair away.
7:15
Speaker 1: So he's in the first cut there.
7:16
Speaker 2: But we'll have a short iron into a back hole
7:20
Speaker 2: pain location with two holes left on the day. And again,
7:24
Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler, if you look at his results in the
7:27
Speaker 2: two years that he won the Masters. In fact, going
7:30
Speaker 2: back to the last twenty years, guys eighteen of the
7:34
Speaker 2: last twenty winners at Augusta were in the top ten
7:39
Speaker 2: after the first day of the After the first day
7:42
Speaker 2: of the Masters, So do you want to know who's
7:45
Speaker 2: probably going to win the tournament, look at the top
7:47
Speaker 2: ten the leader board. Only the only two guys who
7:49
Speaker 2: were able to win it outside the top ten after
7:52
Speaker 2: Thursday's round tiger Woods. Tiger Woods last year, Scotty was
7:56
Speaker 2: second tut a sixty six, one shot behind Bryson, of course,
8:00
Speaker 2: guy who would go.
8:00
Speaker 1: On to win.
8:01
Speaker 2: And then in two thousand and twenty two, the first
8:05
Speaker 2: year that Scotty won the Masters. After his first round
8:09
Speaker 2: he was at let's see Ty for third the sixty nine,
8:12
Speaker 2: two shots back. So Scotty is in that fantastic place again.
8:16
Speaker 2: You want to be in that top ten, so kind
8:19
Speaker 2: of looking at like you want to be, Oh, let's
8:22
Speaker 2: see you want to You probably want to at least
8:23
Speaker 2: be in.
8:24
Speaker 1: With a two underd round of the day.
8:26
Speaker 2: So you're looking at a seventy seventy or lower to
8:29
Speaker 2: be in an any sword of contention, possibly for winning
8:32
Speaker 2: the Masters this season. Jordan speak by the way now
8:35
Speaker 2: putting on the sixteenth hole a long birdie putt that
8:39
Speaker 2: just grazes the side of the hole and rolls by
8:41
Speaker 2: about six or seven yards. He's had a very speed
8:44
Speaker 2: like day. Actually at one point was only one shot
8:47
Speaker 2: back of the lead. But he's been up and down
8:49
Speaker 2: and all over the course. At Augusta ended up making
8:52
Speaker 2: birdie on the first hole, poured in a thirty footer
8:56
Speaker 2: believe it or not, on the first hole to get
8:58
Speaker 2: to one under par. They would end up making par
9:01
Speaker 2: on the second hole. We miss about a seven footer
9:04
Speaker 2: for birdie. On the third hole that slightly drivable par
9:08
Speaker 2: three would hit a beautiful approach shot to about seven feet,
9:11
Speaker 2: would make the birdie putt, so he was two under.
9:14
Speaker 2: On the fourth hole, par three, ended up hitting his
9:17
Speaker 2: his first shot to about ninety two feet away with
9:21
Speaker 2: three putt for bogey. Would make a birdie on the
9:24
Speaker 2: eighth hole to get back to two unders. So Speeds
9:28
Speaker 2: would make the turn at two under par, one shot
9:31
Speaker 2: back from Scotti Scheffer for the lead, and would end
9:33
Speaker 2: up making double bogie from the fairway on the tenth hole,
9:37
Speaker 2: got too much golf ball out of his bunker shot,
9:40
Speaker 2: would hit his fourth shot to about seven feet. We
9:43
Speaker 2: missed the putt for bogie, ends up making double. Would
9:47
Speaker 2: go see the eleventh hole that downhill left to right
9:50
Speaker 2: par four, that's an absolute man of the hole, would
9:53
Speaker 2: make a thirty footer for birdie. So now he's packed
9:55
Speaker 2: back to one under par and then would play Amen's
10:00
Speaker 2: or will play the rest of amon corner two over
10:01
Speaker 2: part including boging the twelfth hole went long and left,
10:05
Speaker 2: and then on the par five to thirteenth hole, would
10:08
Speaker 2: hit his second shot out of bounds, would make bogie
10:11
Speaker 2: on that and they would three pot in the fourteenth
10:14
Speaker 2: greef for a bogey.
10:14
Speaker 1: So he went bogey bogey bogey.
10:16
Speaker 2: He just made birdie on the par five to fifteenth
10:19
Speaker 2: hole to get back to one over par, but right
10:22
Speaker 2: now has a lengthy par putt on the sixteenth hole
10:25
Speaker 2: to remain at one over par. He is currently tied
10:29
Speaker 2: for four youth and is coming off a Master's appearance
10:32
Speaker 2: last season where he missed the cut. So Speith, who
10:35
Speaker 2: playing in his eleventh Masters, has only missed the cut twice,
10:40
Speaker 2: so he's trying to keep his hopes alive of winning
10:43
Speaker 2: a second green jacket. More than come, including c J.
10:46
Speaker 2: Vogel up next year on the Craigways Show. Of course,
10:49
Speaker 2: you can listen to us free on the iHeart Radio app.
10:52
Speaker 2: Just getting started to hear on this Thursday afternoon. Cameron
10:55
Speaker 2: Parker filling in for Craig Way, who will be joining
10:58
Speaker 2: us from Lexington, Kentucky in about an hour or so,
11:02
Speaker 2: but joining us now from on Texas Football Course Texas
11:05
Speaker 2: Football insider and recruiting analysts.
11:08
Speaker 3: CJ.
11:08
Speaker 2: Fogel from on Texas Football. You can follow him on
11:11
Speaker 2: Twitter at CJ Fogal Underscore OTF. CJ thanks for joining
11:15
Speaker 2: us in first off, I want to know how are
11:18
Speaker 2: you doing emotionally after seeing Luca Doant just returned to
11:22
Speaker 2: Dallas last night, but playing in a Lakers uniform.
11:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, that sucks.
11:28
Speaker 5: Man.
11:28
Speaker 6: That wasn't fun for anybody. I mean, just watching him
11:30
Speaker 6: watch his tribute video.
11:33
Speaker 4: I took it out of me.
11:34
Speaker 5: Man.
11:34
Speaker 6: I didn't like it. I didn't like it one bit.
11:35
Speaker 6: I still can't believe the trade happened. But you know,
11:38
Speaker 6: he's with Lebron now, so I'm runing for the two
11:40
Speaker 6: of them to go get a championship together.
11:43
Speaker 2: So today, Trey Wisner and Arch Manning visited with the media.
11:46
Speaker 3: Today.
11:46
Speaker 2: You were out there just your overall first impressions. It's
11:50
Speaker 2: the first time we've seen players speak to the media
11:53
Speaker 2: outside of coach Sarkisian. What was your general takeaway from
11:56
Speaker 2: from both Arch and Trey.
11:59
Speaker 4: Yeah.
11:59
Speaker 6: I thought Ars handled it well. I mean he's spoken
12:02
Speaker 6: to the media before, you know, in terms of, you know,
12:05
Speaker 6: some post game stuff, but for him to be QB
12:08
Speaker 6: one now it's part of the job, and I thought
12:10
Speaker 6: he handled it very well. There's some jokes in there.
12:12
Speaker 6: Until you know, are good friend Kirk Boles. He could
12:15
Speaker 6: hook him up with some vor you out of his
12:17
Speaker 6: new NIL deal, so you know.
12:19
Speaker 4: There's some laughs.
12:20
Speaker 6: He was lighthearted, but at the end of the day,
12:22
Speaker 6: he knows it's the business. He knows this is part
12:24
Speaker 6: of the job, and you know, I think this is
12:27
Speaker 6: going to be something that he handles very well throughout
12:29
Speaker 6: his Texas career.
12:30
Speaker 2: Looking at Trey Wisner in this Texas running back room,
12:33
Speaker 2: of course, Christian Clarks CJ. Baxter had went down with
12:36
Speaker 2: season ending injuries. It's a running back room that will
12:39
Speaker 2: be without Jaydon Blue, of course, who.
12:41
Speaker 1: Declared for the NFL Draft.
12:43
Speaker 2: How do you think this running back room is taking
12:46
Speaker 2: shape about halfway through springball.
12:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see STJ. Baxter figures
12:52
Speaker 6: back into this group. Of course, the big thing with
12:54
Speaker 6: this unit in twenty twenty five is you know, you
12:57
Speaker 6: got five healthy bodies right now. That wasn't the case
13:01
Speaker 6: last year. Of course, you had your two injuries in
13:03
Speaker 6: the spring with CJ. Baxer and Christian Clark, and Delton Gardner,
13:06
Speaker 6: who they picked up late in the portal joined the
13:09
Speaker 6: squad and you know very quickly was out from the
13:11
Speaker 6: season as well. So Texas realistically last year was only
13:14
Speaker 6: dealing with about two and a half to three and
13:16
Speaker 6: a half running backs when you consider Ryan Nibblett in
13:19
Speaker 6: that room. So right now, the overarching theme is plenty
13:22
Speaker 6: of bodies, plenty of different skill sets and trading. Weisner
13:25
Speaker 6: is the one leading the charge. So who becomes your
13:27
Speaker 6: pass pro guy, who becomes your short yard this guy,
13:29
Speaker 6: who becomes your goal line guy, and who becomes a
13:31
Speaker 6: guy that you rely on out of the backfield in
13:34
Speaker 6: the passing game all up for grabs right now. But
13:36
Speaker 6: it's going to be Trey Wiser's I guess leadership and
13:40
Speaker 6: experience that leads the charge going into the summer.
13:44
Speaker 2: Is that a spot you think Sark and the offense
13:47
Speaker 2: may end up targeting in the transfer portal this year?
13:51
Speaker 6: You know, it's interesting if the right guy approaches. You know,
13:55
Speaker 6: if the right guy comes into the portal again, Sarcasian
13:58
Speaker 6: has been proven to to go out there and find
14:01
Speaker 6: anybody that will help this team, and even at positions
14:04
Speaker 6: that maybe weren't expected out of the portal originally. I
14:08
Speaker 6: think right now you've got plenty of guys that are
14:10
Speaker 6: coming along.
14:11
Speaker 3: Of course, Christian Parks.
14:12
Speaker 4: Looked really good.
14:13
Speaker 6: We've heard a lot of positives about James finding the
14:15
Speaker 6: true freshman that's been on campus for about four months now,
14:18
Speaker 6: so We'll see what they do. But I think this
14:20
Speaker 6: room is pretty healthy, especially if a CJ.
14:23
Speaker 3: Baxter returns fully healthy.
14:25
Speaker 2: Another room that's dealing with some injuries the receiver room
14:27
Speaker 2: with Ryan Wingo. He's unavailable in spring ball hamstring injury,
14:32
Speaker 2: DeAndre More not participating in spring ball. So it's opened
14:36
Speaker 2: the door for some of the younger guys to come
14:38
Speaker 2: in and develop a relationship and that chemistry with Archie Manning,
14:42
Speaker 2: who is some of the guys so far that have
14:44
Speaker 2: been getting a lot of reps in spring ball, CJ.
14:46
Speaker 2: That you're keeping an eye on that may end up
14:49
Speaker 2: playing a big role in this Texas offense come fall.
14:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, the big man that we've heard so far is
14:54
Speaker 6: Parker Livingstone, and I'm not sure if that's a surprised
14:57
Speaker 6: the many who got to see him out of high school.
14:59
Speaker 4: Of course, was healthiest senior year.
15:01
Speaker 6: We got to see him for some mop up duty
15:03
Speaker 6: last year. But look, if Trey Wiser has given you
15:05
Speaker 6: the nickname white Chocolate, I think he got a roll
15:08
Speaker 6: with it. Of course, Archie Manning had some praise for him.
15:11
Speaker 6: The two live together, so I know that there is
15:13
Speaker 6: a good string of success with a former Texas quarterback
15:17
Speaker 6: and wide receiver that lived together way back when, so
15:20
Speaker 6: that's a good sign. Jamie French, Cleek Lockett, they come
15:23
Speaker 6: up as well. But Dayla McCutcheon, maybe you know that
15:26
Speaker 6: guy coming into the twenty twenty five season, You know,
15:30
Speaker 6: maybe you weren't expecting to hear a lot about him,
15:33
Speaker 6: but this absence of DeAndre Moore has really allowed him
15:37
Speaker 6: to take some of these reps. And we've heard Sarkisian
15:40
Speaker 6: talk about him, our T Fanning's spoken about him. He's
15:43
Speaker 6: turning head So far.
15:44
Speaker 2: It's going to be a Texas secondary that will look different,
15:47
Speaker 2: both on the sidelines and on the field. So many
15:49
Speaker 2: new names coaching wise, of course, twenty Kisa stepping In
15:53
Speaker 2: returning to Austin, Terry Joseph no longer with the program
15:58
Speaker 2: then also a lot of big names to part for
16:00
Speaker 2: the NFL draft, of course, Shatty Baron who will likely
16:02
Speaker 2: be a first round draft.
16:04
Speaker 1: Pick, who defensively cej.
16:07
Speaker 2: How different do you think the secondary will will look
16:10
Speaker 2: in terms of the style of play and is there
16:12
Speaker 2: going to be do you think maybe a grace period
16:15
Speaker 2: for this Texas defense to kind of get back to
16:18
Speaker 2: how they were defensively? The secondary last season with so
16:20
Speaker 2: many new names and so many new coaches.
16:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting because I think everything kind
16:26
Speaker 6: of builds off of what Texas utilizes up front with
16:29
Speaker 6: that pass For us, of course, I think I was
16:31
Speaker 6: a big benefactor last year with the secondary.
16:34
Speaker 3: But again no Makouba, no John A. Barron.
16:38
Speaker 6: Those two were really really good combined for ten picks.
16:41
Speaker 6: But I love this cornerback room and sharpstout on Tuesday,
16:43
Speaker 6: this is the best looking room in his locker room.
16:47
Speaker 6: Happened on That's really interesting. Of course, we know Jalen
16:50
Speaker 6: Gilbo has played some meaningful football. Malik Muhammad again a
16:54
Speaker 6: guy who's played a lot of outside corner we kind
16:57
Speaker 6: of expect him to be, you know, sett in own
17:00
Speaker 6: at the moment. But how does the competition for that
17:03
Speaker 6: second corner stock go with Gilbo, with the Kobe Black,
17:06
Speaker 6: with the Sampana Wilson. You know, of course five star
17:09
Speaker 6: Kate Phillips, who is very talented in his own right.
17:11
Speaker 4: Can he make it flash?
17:12
Speaker 6: So you got four guys that I think are all
17:15
Speaker 6: super talented and looking exactly like what Pyxris wants at
17:18
Speaker 6: its cornerback room. A lot of length, a lot of speed.
17:21
Speaker 6: That's that allows for a lot more mando man than
17:24
Speaker 6: we've seen in previous years, which only helps that pass
17:27
Speaker 6: rush when you're able to unleash another Anthony Hill or
17:29
Speaker 6: trade more Brad Spence from the second level.
17:32
Speaker 2: And we've heard Sark also talked about, you know, the
17:34
Speaker 2: key defensive line takes they took in their French report thing.
17:38
Speaker 2: They had three new buys of course, almost replacing that
17:40
Speaker 2: entire defensive line. How how how those guys look so
17:46
Speaker 2: far so far in springball? CJ of course, I mean,
17:49
Speaker 2: you know how big of a role the defensive line
17:50
Speaker 2: is going to play in having a successful defense throughout
17:53
Speaker 2: the season.
17:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, that still might be a working progress for now.
17:57
Speaker 6: You know, we're gonna have to wait and see just
17:59
Speaker 6: how this grew gels together. Of course, Alex January is
18:02
Speaker 6: expected to take a massive leap forward into that main rotation.
18:05
Speaker 6: I'm expecting him to be a starter for Texas come
18:07
Speaker 6: the fall. Cold Rivard that other sturdy, just consistent piece
18:13
Speaker 6: on over the nose. Travis Shaw a bit limited right now,
18:17
Speaker 6: and he's been dealing with a lingering knee issue as well,
18:19
Speaker 6: So I definitely think Texas is still going to be
18:22
Speaker 6: active in the portal for defensive lineman. The real question
18:25
Speaker 6: is how can am run Charles or how can it
18:27
Speaker 6: just Cya Sharman too early?
18:29
Speaker 3: En?
18:29
Speaker 6: Really, how can they move forward and start to become
18:32
Speaker 6: guys that are relied upon in the fall, because Texas
18:35
Speaker 6: is going to need just about everybody in this room
18:37
Speaker 6: to step up if they're planning on playing thirteen, fourteen
18:39
Speaker 6: to fifteen games again.
18:41
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty.
18:41
Speaker 2: Five, we saw Texas at a punter and the transfer portal.
18:46
Speaker 1: What about a kicker after spring ball?
18:49
Speaker 3: CJ.
18:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know that's been a hot topic for Texas fans.
18:54
Speaker 6: So far, I've not heard a whole lot in terms
18:56
Speaker 6: of what Texas might do when the spring portal window
18:59
Speaker 6: opens up. Of course, it's been Willstone, It's been Vert
19:02
Speaker 6: Auburn battling it out again this spring. I'd put my
19:05
Speaker 6: money on who would be kicking this weekend trid Texas
19:07
Speaker 6: have a game, it would be Vert Auburn.
19:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know it.
19:10
Speaker 6: TEXTA fans might have grimaced a little bit here in that,
19:13
Speaker 6: so we'll see what they end up doing. But I
19:15
Speaker 6: would be a little bit surprised if if there's a
19:19
Speaker 6: whole lot of movement there.
19:20
Speaker 2: Talking with Cjfogo from on Texas Football. CJ, we saw
19:23
Speaker 2: report come on from on three Sports, and if you
19:27
Speaker 2: saw this maybe ten years ago, your head would spin.
19:29
Speaker 2: But this shows you kind of where the landscape of
19:31
Speaker 2: college football is right now is And the tweet was
19:33
Speaker 2: at Tennessee and Nico Iamaliava the volunteers quarterback are an
19:38
Speaker 2: active contract negotiations ahead of the twenty and twenty five season.
19:43
Speaker 2: That statement alone is so bizarre, but it kind of
19:46
Speaker 2: speaks to where we're at right.
19:47
Speaker 1: Now in college football.
19:49
Speaker 2: The other side of it, I think is Arch Manning
19:52
Speaker 2: the most popular recruit probably in the history of college football.
19:56
Speaker 2: All his stories seem to be about him staying an
19:58
Speaker 2: extra year.
19:59
Speaker 1: So I think CJ.
20:01
Speaker 2: All the concern about Arch and his his popularity and
20:05
Speaker 2: you know, there's no way he's going to stay at Texas.
20:07
Speaker 1: He's not going to stay behind Queen yours.
20:09
Speaker 2: Well, here we are, he's on campus and you talked
20:11
Speaker 2: about his maturity.
20:13
Speaker 1: We've heard Sar talk about his competitive spirit.
20:16
Speaker 2: It seems like Arch Manning, despite the last name, despite
20:19
Speaker 2: the talent, is kind of in his own class in
20:22
Speaker 2: terms of how he handles himself compared to other quarterbacks
20:26
Speaker 2: who are in contract negotiations here in springball.
20:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's certainly a luxury that Texas is lucky to
20:35
Speaker 6: be in. Right when it comes to not having to
20:37
Speaker 6: deal with I don't want to call it a headache,
20:39
Speaker 6: but that extra attention that comes with the media headlines
20:43
Speaker 6: there and of course arch Will will garner his own attention.
20:46
Speaker 6: Of course that's to be expected. But we heard it
20:49
Speaker 6: firsthand today at the media availability. Ar said, Yeah, I've
20:52
Speaker 6: only ever wanted to be at textis you know everything
20:54
Speaker 6: else on the portal noise, you know, all the talk
20:57
Speaker 6: about me potentially leaving now, you know, good things.
21:02
Speaker 4: I just wanted to wait this one out.
21:03
Speaker 6: I wanted to be at Texas and you know, sometimes
21:07
Speaker 6: things are worth waiting for. And I think that speaks
21:10
Speaker 6: a lot to his maturity. But also, you know, this
21:12
Speaker 6: is the guy that goes out in the city of Austin,
21:14
Speaker 6: gets recognized everywhere, says he wants to just be a
21:16
Speaker 6: college kid. He wants to do that here in Austin.
21:19
Speaker 6: I think touch of fans should be very appreciative of that,
21:22
Speaker 6: and I know that they're glad to be here.
21:24
Speaker 3: That that's the case.
21:25
Speaker 6: So it's something that Texas is very fortunate to be
21:28
Speaker 6: in a position to not have to worry about quarterback,
21:31
Speaker 6: leaving a quarterback, dealing with potential portal buyouts, or what's
21:35
Speaker 6: to come with this world of AML. So certainly a
21:39
Speaker 6: luxury to the Horns.
21:40
Speaker 2: Here two weeks away from the NFL Draft, the first round,
21:44
Speaker 2: how many Texas Longgorns are you expecting to see go
21:48
Speaker 2: on opening day?
21:50
Speaker 6: On opening Day, I think the number three. I would
21:53
Speaker 6: be a little surprised that there's more than that. I'd
21:56
Speaker 6: be even more surprised if there were less than that.
21:58
Speaker 6: Kelvin Banks, Mackew Golden, jot A barn And I tweeted
22:02
Speaker 6: it while I was at the combine. You know, Matthew Bolton,
22:04
Speaker 6: you can go ahead and book your plane ticket to
22:06
Speaker 6: Green Bay to go shape the Commission's hand on day one.
22:09
Speaker 3: And he did just that.
22:11
Speaker 4: But John A.
22:12
Speaker 6: Baron Kelvin Banks, I think there are definitely lots to
22:14
Speaker 6: go in the top twenty five or so. And that
22:17
Speaker 6: was said, a new Texas record for first round packs
22:19
Speaker 6: in a singles draft, and that's something I think Texas
22:22
Speaker 6: tran should be very celebratory about as well.
22:24
Speaker 2: It seems like when you were kind of hovering around
22:26
Speaker 2: that third round mark a little bit surprising to me, CJ.
22:29
Speaker 2: But what do you credit to maybe his drop in
22:33
Speaker 2: falling down the mock draft SERI? And where do you
22:36
Speaker 2: end up seeing him land in terms of what round
22:38
Speaker 2: he will be drafted in.
22:41
Speaker 6: You know, it's pretty interesting with Quinn.
22:43
Speaker 3: Of course your nails.
22:45
Speaker 6: He's really really good within twenty yards and then that lingering,
22:49
Speaker 6: testy beat ball has just continued to.
22:52
Speaker 4: Be a pain for him.
22:53
Speaker 6: And I think that that's something that when you look
22:56
Speaker 6: at how these NFL scouts and executives are judging, is
23:01
Speaker 6: you know, play style is that he doesn't create a
23:04
Speaker 6: whole lot with his legs, so he has to be
23:06
Speaker 6: good throwing.
23:07
Speaker 4: The ball down the field.
23:08
Speaker 6: Well, if he's not doing both, look, he's super good
23:11
Speaker 6: at that the NFL, or that you can separate yourself
23:14
Speaker 6: with in the NFL, And that's kind of the big
23:17
Speaker 6: hinderance on his recruiting or his draft grate.
23:20
Speaker 3: At the moment, I.
23:21
Speaker 6: Think a third round grade is fine. Will he's sneaking
23:25
Speaker 6: to the second, I wouldn't be surprised, but a third
23:28
Speaker 6: round is basically where I'm expecting him.
23:30
Speaker 3: The ball right now, all.
23:31
Speaker 1: Right, and last question for you.
23:32
Speaker 2: It is the Master's week, It's the best golf tournament
23:36
Speaker 2: of the year. I know you're a big golf and
23:37
Speaker 2: I know you have Master's picks. I know you got
23:39
Speaker 2: about ten different first round leaders on your on your
23:42
Speaker 2: betting board. Who do you have overall though, to win
23:45
Speaker 2: the green jacket this week?
23:47
Speaker 4: Well, if I can't.
23:48
Speaker 6: Pitch Scotty because I mean, let's be honest, he's a
23:51
Speaker 6: machine when it comes to playing at a GUSSA. I
23:54
Speaker 6: really want to rock with Max Forragerman, a little long
23:57
Speaker 6: shot action right there.
23:59
Speaker 3: I don't no one to expect from that one.
24:00
Speaker 6: But it's not a windy week in Augusta for Wyndham
24:04
Speaker 6: Clark is this guys are going to look pretty grave.
24:06
Speaker 6: We're going to Max arrangerment, how about it?
24:09
Speaker 2: Hey, seventy one for Grazerman in the clubhouse. He's only
24:11
Speaker 2: five shots back from Justin Rose, so hey, not a
24:15
Speaker 2: bad pick. And Wyndon Clark even park just getting started. Hey, CJ,
24:18
Speaker 2: thanks so much for.
24:18
Speaker 3: The time, man.
24:19
Speaker 1: I appreciate you and we'll see you around.
24:22
Speaker 4: Absolutely can appreciate you having me on store.
24:24
Speaker 1: That's CJ.
24:25
Speaker 2: Fogel from on Texas Football. Make sure you check out
24:28
Speaker 2: his work on Texas Football dot Com, Bobby Burton, Rod Babers,
24:31
Speaker 2: the entire Gang, and of course follow CJ on Twitter.
24:33
Speaker 1: CJ Fogel underscore OTF up.
24:36
Speaker 2: Next on this Thursday edition inconceivable here on the Craigway Show,
24:40
Speaker 2: it is fitting that we do have the host of
24:43
Speaker 2: this show, the host of this program, Craig Way, even
24:45
Speaker 2: though he is on the road and in Lexington, Kentucky,
24:48
Speaker 2: it is fitting that we do have him join us
24:50
Speaker 2: here hour two on.
24:52
Speaker 1: This Thursday edition.
24:54
Speaker 2: And Craig, it is a Master's Thursday, and I was thinking,
24:57
Speaker 2: no one, no one enjoys food more than me.
25:00
Speaker 1: I think you.
25:01
Speaker 2: I think you're on that list. And I'm looking at
25:03
Speaker 2: the master's concession prices. Of course, a dollar fifty four
25:07
Speaker 2: in egg salad, dollar fifty for a mento cheese, three
25:09
Speaker 2: dollars for a Master's club, three dollars for a park
25:12
Speaker 2: barbecue sandwich, and of course three dollars for a Georgia
25:16
Speaker 2: peach ice cream sandwich, and two for water, two for soda,
25:20
Speaker 2: six dollars for beer or wine. So I wanted to
25:22
Speaker 2: ask you, Craig. First off, I hope you're doing okay.
25:25
Speaker 2: If you had ten dollars to build your perfect Master's
25:30
Speaker 2: concession meal ten dollars, what would you buy?
25:36
Speaker 5: I would probably think good afternoon. Yeah, I would probably
25:39
Speaker 5: have an egg salad sandwich, a permeno cheese sandwich, a
25:42
Speaker 5: pork barbecue sandwich.
25:44
Speaker 4: Can a lemonade? Does that add up to tim? Yeah?
25:47
Speaker 2: I think you're in the clear. I like that, So
25:48
Speaker 2: lemonade over beer, which which is fitting. But you said
25:52
Speaker 2: pimento cheese, that's your exit.
25:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the answer is yes.
25:58
Speaker 3: I'd have one of.
25:58
Speaker 5: These to maybe half of each, and save the because
26:02
Speaker 5: so much is said about those two sandwiches. And by
26:04
Speaker 5: the way, I'm sure you noticed that I did not
26:06
Speaker 5: see this until yesterday.
26:08
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's right.
26:09
Speaker 5: I showed a team my friend Chris Edwards that we
26:12
Speaker 5: had dinner with in Birmingham, the play by play voice
26:15
Speaker 5: of Duke Baseball women's basketball. He got that taste of
26:19
Speaker 5: the Master's Kit or samfort that say that you can
26:23
Speaker 5: order and they send you what.
26:25
Speaker 4: A pint of the egg salad and a pint.
26:28
Speaker 5: Of the pomena cheese and a pint of the pork barbecue.
26:31
Speaker 4: It's the heck of the deal. I think I probably
26:33
Speaker 4: need to do.
26:33
Speaker 3: Something like that.
26:34
Speaker 5: Now, I'll bet you they don't charge Masters Club prices.
26:38
Speaker 3: But I'd certainly be willing to give it a shot anyway.
26:40
Speaker 2: No, So it's it's one hundred dollars total and it
26:43
Speaker 2: serves about four to six people. Now I don't know
26:46
Speaker 2: what the serving size, Craig, I think that I think
26:48
Speaker 2: I can mean, you can knock this out. But it's
26:50
Speaker 2: twenty four ounces of their Pimento cheese dip, six bags
26:54
Speaker 2: of their potato chips, you get six of their many
26:57
Speaker 2: chocolate moon pies. You get a sleeve of twelve of
27:01
Speaker 2: their Master's branded souvenir cups that goes well with you know,
27:04
Speaker 2: the lemonade. Of course, you get a pack of twelve
27:07
Speaker 2: Master's coasters, You get their Master's branded wax paper, and
27:11
Speaker 2: then you get some printed menus, food cards, accessories. Now
27:15
Speaker 2: bread and bund does not come with it, unfortunately, so
27:18
Speaker 2: it's mostly just the pimento cheese or I believe what
27:22
Speaker 2: Chris did. We went with a barbecue, which you can
27:26
Speaker 2: choose from so barbecue or pimento cheese. But you know,
27:29
Speaker 2: maybe one of these one of these years we just
27:31
Speaker 2: do a Master's watch party and we go ahead and
27:33
Speaker 2: just we buy this taste of the Master's kit. I
27:35
Speaker 2: mean a hundred bucks is not too bad because I
27:37
Speaker 2: don't think I'm not near that place.
27:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, Heppy, and I'm definitely and I'm always
27:42
Speaker 5: working on Master's weekend, like this week it happen to
27:45
Speaker 5: be in Lexig, Kentucky. But it looks good. And by
27:47
Speaker 5: the way, here's our man, Scottie Shefflerck got a four
27:50
Speaker 5: or sixty eight to a good position. Rory looks pretty
27:53
Speaker 5: solid playing number eleven. How about justin Rose that the
27:56
Speaker 5: pasting brick with a with with a excellent round working.
28:00
Speaker 5: You know, when we landed with the team, Cameron Keith
28:03
Speaker 5: Morland and I jumped in the rental car where we're
28:05
Speaker 5: headed to the hotel, and the first thing that came
28:08
Speaker 5: out of his mouth was, boy, I hope there's a
28:10
Speaker 5: placeheck and watch the Masters. I said, well, it's ONNYESPM
28:12
Speaker 5: this afternoon. He got perfect, So sure though, I get.
28:16
Speaker 4: In the hotel room turning on thought was.
28:18
Speaker 5: On on the cable system here in the hotel, Lectin
28:21
Speaker 5: on channel twenty five, So I texted him Masters is
28:25
Speaker 5: on twenty five on it, so he's the question he
28:31
Speaker 5: may not join me when I go over to the
28:33
Speaker 5: ballpark later this afterdoing the took up the equipment and
28:36
Speaker 5: the broadcast moved and get everything set up for the
28:39
Speaker 5: three broadcasts this weekend.
28:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a filling.
28:41
Speaker 2: Keith will have his feet up on the bed, you know,
28:44
Speaker 2: maybe catching a fantastic afternoon nap and watching the back
28:48
Speaker 2: nine of this Thursday edition. I mean Roy mcarray right
28:52
Speaker 2: there as well, Correig. I mean the biggest issue with
28:54
Speaker 2: with Roy during his time to trying to win the Masters,
28:56
Speaker 2: He's gotten out to such bad starts on Thursdays, a
28:59
Speaker 2: lot of seventy four or seventy five's.
29:01
Speaker 1: But here he is right now making the turn at three.
29:05
Speaker 2: Under par, and a stata I shared earlier in the
29:08
Speaker 2: program is eighteen. The last twenty winners of this golf
29:11
Speaker 2: tournament have been inside the top ten after the opening
29:14
Speaker 2: round except for Tiger Woods did it twice, but you
29:16
Speaker 2: know Tiger's in his own different tier. But here's Scotty
29:19
Speaker 2: Scheffler right now tied for second four under par, and
29:23
Speaker 2: there's Roy McElroy at three under par. So this is
29:25
Speaker 2: setting up to be a fantastic tournament. Of course, Bryce
29:28
Speaker 2: and the Shamba, whether you love him or not, such
29:31
Speaker 2: a patronizing figure. He's at two under par so all
29:34
Speaker 2: the big names are playing well and the weather is
29:37
Speaker 2: absolutely perfect in Augusta right now.
29:40
Speaker 4: What could you tell me about these other two guys?
29:42
Speaker 5: Connors who shot the sixty Is Terrell had right who
29:44
Speaker 5: shot the sixty nine?
29:45
Speaker 1: Yes, Lord Terrell Haddon, Lord Terrell.
29:47
Speaker 5: Haddon, Okay, so he shot and Connors.
29:53
Speaker 2: Yes, he's Canadian fantastic ball striker. He's a player that
29:59
Speaker 2: a lot of people have picked him to win or
30:02
Speaker 2: picked him to do well in years past because of
30:04
Speaker 2: his ability to strike the ball. I believe he's actually
30:08
Speaker 2: shot a sixty five here at once. His best finish
30:11
Speaker 2: overall is a T six back in twenty twenty two,
30:14
Speaker 2: so he's been closed, hasn't been in super contention, but hey,
30:19
Speaker 2: sixty eight will do that. Interroll hadn't currently now in
30:22
Speaker 2: the Live Golf Tour. So, you know, casual golf fans
30:25
Speaker 2: or just even regular golf fans probably have not heard
30:27
Speaker 2: too much from the last couple of years because he's
30:30
Speaker 2: been playing on the Live Golf Tour. He's finished in
30:33
Speaker 2: the top ten here before as well, so he's a
30:35
Speaker 2: fantastic player. Sixty nine for him, sixty eight for Connors.
30:39
Speaker 2: And again, this course rewards great ball strikers, which is
30:43
Speaker 2: why Justin Rose is leading the tournament and why Scotty
30:46
Speaker 2: and Roy are up there.
30:47
Speaker 1: But also it rewards people who.
30:48
Speaker 2: Can, you know, make putts inside the five to ten
30:52
Speaker 2: feet margin. And I've been watching coverage all day. I know, Craig,
30:55
Speaker 2: you've you've been traveling, getting writing on a plane. But
30:57
Speaker 2: just because the weather's been nice, it does not mean
31:01
Speaker 2: it's not playing tough. We're seeing a lot of guys
31:04
Speaker 2: struggle even on the par fives. We're seeing some guys
31:08
Speaker 2: like Coling Moore Kawa who at one point was time
31:10
Speaker 2: for the league come out and he'll make a bogey
31:12
Speaker 2: on a par five. And Craig, you know, scoring well
31:15
Speaker 2: on the par fives is critical to winning this golf tournament.
31:19
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.
31:20
Speaker 5: One guy who is playing pretty well to Decki Batsiama
31:23
Speaker 5: and uh he.
31:25
Speaker 3: He is leading all.
31:29
Speaker 5: Active golfers right now in cuts made at majors.
31:33
Speaker 4: He's made nineteen consecutive cuts. So that's gonna get and
31:36
Speaker 4: another we got to watch.
31:37
Speaker 5: Uh he's I think he's on number nine right now
31:39
Speaker 5: we're a number number ten. Is Shane Lowry maybe the
31:42
Speaker 5: most unattractive man ever to win a major?
31:45
Speaker 7: Wow?
31:46
Speaker 8: Uh?
31:46
Speaker 3: But but there?
31:47
Speaker 5: But there he is at two hunder part so he's
31:50
Speaker 5: in the hunt right now.
31:52
Speaker 2: He said most unattractive man to win a major. Oh,
31:55
Speaker 2: come on, that's a little unfair, is it not?
31:59
Speaker 4: Well, I I didn't say it was ugly. I just
32:01
Speaker 4: maybe the most unner track, That's all I was saying there,
32:05
Speaker 4: And hey, what does it matter.
32:06
Speaker 5: He's a major champion anyway, He won the Open Championship,
32:09
Speaker 5: So what.
32:09
Speaker 3: Difference does it make? Right?
32:10
Speaker 1: You're right, and he's two under through nine holes, currently.
32:14
Speaker 2: Tied for six currently in the last place by himself
32:18
Speaker 2: by about ten shots.
32:19
Speaker 1: Is poor, Nick Dunlap.
32:21
Speaker 2: I believe he's twenty two years old, so I'm not
32:23
Speaker 2: going to harpen him too much. Shut a ninety. Curious, Craig,
32:26
Speaker 2: do you think you could shoot a ninety at Augusta
32:29
Speaker 2: if you played from the forward tees?
32:34
Speaker 5: I think I could shoot a ninety playing from the
32:38
Speaker 5: back piece, and then I would go to the.
32:40
Speaker 3: Back nine and then and then see what I could
32:42
Speaker 3: do for him.
32:43
Speaker 5: There, So no answer to your question there if if I.
32:49
Speaker 4: Could shoot, you know, because people know me.
32:51
Speaker 5: Know I played four or five rounds of golf a year,
32:54
Speaker 5: That's about it, and usually all of it while I'm
32:56
Speaker 5: on vacation on.
32:58
Speaker 4: The North Carolina South Carolina Cutters. That's it.
33:00
Speaker 5: The only time I really have the play golf, and
33:03
Speaker 5: I'm always rounding the same. My game never improves. It
33:07
Speaker 5: might slightly regress, and by like the third of four
33:10
Speaker 5: or five days when I play, it gets up. I'm
33:13
Speaker 5: always around a twenty five to thirty handicapper. I mean,
33:17
Speaker 5: if I break one hundred, I'm happy, you know inside.
33:21
Speaker 4: Because I only played four or five times and I
33:23
Speaker 4: do no lessons and none.
33:24
Speaker 3: Of that stuff.
33:25
Speaker 4: So it's always going to be the same like that
33:28
Speaker 4: for me every year.
33:29
Speaker 3: I have no expectations.
33:31
Speaker 5: I just enjoy when I go out to play golf
33:33
Speaker 5: because I know I'm not going to have.
33:35
Speaker 4: You know, one of the.
33:35
Speaker 5: Most exciting moments of my golf life, I've had two.
33:40
Speaker 5: One when I was sixteen, I shot an eighty nine.
33:44
Speaker 5: It's the only time I've ever broken one hundred in
33:46
Speaker 5: my life, and I mean broken ninety in my life.
33:50
Speaker 4: I shot an eighty nine. I peaked again.
33:52
Speaker 3: I think I'm.
33:52
Speaker 5: Seventeen, I peak at that point. But that was growing
33:56
Speaker 5: up North Carolina, where I played golf a lot in.
33:58
Speaker 4: The summertime, alright, So there was that.
34:00
Speaker 3: And then the other.
34:00
Speaker 5: Time, I'm playing in a really tough course down in
34:04
Speaker 5: the north Myrtle Beach areat near where I go vacation
34:07
Speaker 5: called Oyster Bay, and for whatever reason, on the front nine,
34:10
Speaker 5: I was just unconscious.
34:11
Speaker 4: I hit everything very very so I shot a forty
34:13
Speaker 4: three on the front nine, and I'm so excited. I thought,
34:16
Speaker 4: my gosh, I think I gotta I'm not only break
34:19
Speaker 4: one hundred, I.
34:19
Speaker 3: Got a chance to break ninety on this golf course.
34:21
Speaker 5: And I stand on number ten and you have to
34:23
Speaker 5: drive it over as salt marsh, and I hit it
34:25
Speaker 5: right into the salt marsh.
34:27
Speaker 3: I shot fifty.
34:27
Speaker 5: Seven on the back nine, exactly even one.
34:30
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, well, yep, that's my game.
34:32
Speaker 5: So yeah, those were the two moments on that So
34:36
Speaker 5: I have zero expectations when I go out to play golf,
34:38
Speaker 5: but I love, dearly loved watching championship golf, and.
34:45
Speaker 3: That's why it's fun to watch the majors.
34:47
Speaker 2: Well, in speaking of expectations, you have a guy like
34:51
Speaker 2: Nick Dunlap, who was a PGA Tour one of this
34:53
Speaker 2: last season. He's twenty one years old, bloom of youth,
34:56
Speaker 2: can hit the ball mile, goes out and shoots ninety.
35:00
Speaker 2: Then you have someone like Freddy Couples, who plays once
35:03
Speaker 2: or twice professionally each year, goes out and shoots a
35:07
Speaker 2: seventy one Craig he's one under part tied for twelve
35:10
Speaker 2: nineteen shots better. If you asked one hundred people, one
35:13
Speaker 2: hundred golf fans, hey, I'm giving you either you take
35:16
Speaker 2: Nick Dunlap or Freddy Couples to shoot a lower score today.
35:19
Speaker 2: I'm going to think that all one hundred people are
35:22
Speaker 2: taking the twenty one year old professional golfer Nick Dunlapp.
35:24
Speaker 2: But it's Freddy Couple and that's a testament to one.
35:27
Speaker 2: Freddy knows his course at the back of his hand.
35:29
Speaker 2: He's won here multiple times in two Just because you're
35:32
Speaker 2: younger doesn't mean you're going to play well. And that's
35:34
Speaker 2: why golf is, as some call it, the perfect game.
35:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, and I think there's an emotional thing.
35:42
Speaker 3: For fred Couples.
35:43
Speaker 5: This is his final Masters that he's playing again, and
35:47
Speaker 5: you know, one at ninety.
35:49
Speaker 4: Two, and he says, you know, and there's.
35:51
Speaker 3: It is very, very emotional.
35:53
Speaker 5: My favorite memory of Fred Couples is when he won
35:58
Speaker 5: the Byron Nelson and well, we were doing the Byron
36:01
Speaker 5: Nelson Golf tournament on the radio in those days up
36:04
Speaker 5: in Dallas. The KRLD kind of predated PGA Tour. Radio
36:07
Speaker 5: was a lot like that, and we did stroke by
36:09
Speaker 5: stroke coverage d EASL mobile transmitters on her back. We
36:12
Speaker 5: followed the groups around and I was with Couples, and.
36:15
Speaker 4: He wins, and so this is in nineteen eighty seven.
36:18
Speaker 5: He wins, but he had to he had to make
36:22
Speaker 5: a putt on the last hole to win it, and
36:25
Speaker 5: he did and then his wife, at least his wife
36:27
Speaker 5: at the time, comes up and gives him this big
36:29
Speaker 5: hug on the green. And there's a big picture on
36:35
Speaker 5: the front page of the Dallas Morning new Sports section
36:38
Speaker 5: the next day, and it said Couples wins Byron Nelson.
36:43
Speaker 3: And I was looking at.
36:44
Speaker 4: It, and there was a woman working in our radio
36:46
Speaker 4: stationtimes she said, I didn't know they let husbands.
36:48
Speaker 5: And wives play together. And I had to say, I
36:53
Speaker 5: don't understand. So yeah, So I always think about that
36:57
Speaker 5: with Fred couples, but he's playing his last one and
36:59
Speaker 5: I'm sure it's an emotional ride for him.
37:02
Speaker 2: This week in Texas baseball, back on the baseball diamond
37:05
Speaker 2: against Kentucky Craigs.
37:06
Speaker 1: This is your first trip to Lexington, I know.
37:08
Speaker 2: I think it's your first trip to what they call
37:10
Speaker 2: it Kentucky Proud Stadium.
37:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, at Kentucky Crowd Park. It'll be my first time
37:16
Speaker 5: to be in that ballpark. Going to go over in
37:17
Speaker 5: about an hour to try to set up the equipment
37:19
Speaker 5: and stuff and get ready.
37:21
Speaker 3: I've been to Lexington.
37:22
Speaker 5: The men played here in twenty thirteen. I think it
37:25
Speaker 5: was Isaiah Taylor, had a tremendous game.
37:28
Speaker 3: They lost.
37:29
Speaker 5: Kentucky was number one or number two in the country,
37:31
Speaker 5: really good, and Texas played himself lost at think by five,
37:33
Speaker 5: and John Calipari got on the microphone to the crowd
37:36
Speaker 5: atwards and said, this team.
37:37
Speaker 3: Is going to be good. You wait and see.
37:39
Speaker 4: Of course, that was the one time when Texas ended up.
37:41
Speaker 5: Missing the NCAA tournament under Rick Barnes, I think twenty thirteen,
37:44
Speaker 5: but there was that, and I did a women's Sweet
37:47
Speaker 5: sixteen game at Ruff Arena in twenty seventeen. Karen Asta
37:53
Speaker 5: had three straight years of Texas making the Sweet sixteen,
37:56
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen.
37:58
Speaker 4: They got to the Elite eight of those years.
38:01
Speaker 5: Connecticut ended their season and then in twenty seventeen they
38:05
Speaker 5: lost in the Sweet sixteen to a really good Stanford team.
38:08
Speaker 5: So I've been there for basketball. Of course, this fall,
38:11
Speaker 5: long Ward Football will be up here to play at
38:13
Speaker 5: Commonwealth Stadium in football, so we'll see how.
38:17
Speaker 3: See how it goes from there. So it'll be my
38:19
Speaker 3: first time in this ballpark.
38:20
Speaker 5: This Kentucky team started off ranked, was really good. They've
38:24
Speaker 5: had some struggles late. They lost the game the Louisville
38:27
Speaker 5: on Tuesday night, very similar to the one that Texas
38:29
Speaker 5: lost the Louisville in the season open. In both cases
38:32
Speaker 5: the game was two to two after nine innings. In
38:35
Speaker 5: both cases the visiting team and it was Kentucky. The
38:38
Speaker 5: other night it was Texas in the season opener in Arlington.
38:42
Speaker 5: Scored a run in the top of the ten and
38:44
Speaker 5: in both cases gave up two in the bottom of
38:46
Speaker 5: the ten for lease for three to a right Louisville
38:49
Speaker 5: team and Louisville number fourteen in the country.
38:52
Speaker 4: So Texas knows this isn't.
38:54
Speaker 5: This isn't going into Columbia, Missouri, and not even this
38:57
Speaker 5: is at Peas State because I played.
38:58
Speaker 3: This is a better ball club.
39:00
Speaker 5: This was a program that was in Omaha last year
39:03
Speaker 5: and it was a super regional team the year before.
39:05
Speaker 5: So they're going to have a challenge on their hands.
39:09
Speaker 5: But if Jared Spencer continues to pitch the way he's
39:11
Speaker 5: pitching and the support they're getting from the bullpen, this ballpark,
39:17
Speaker 5: I'm told it can be a hit or friendly part
39:21
Speaker 5: depending on the weather conditions.
39:23
Speaker 4: Now today it's a nice day. It's in the sixties.
39:26
Speaker 4: Partley Clouds guys, there is a froup moving.
39:28
Speaker 3: In and they're concerned about tomorrow. It could really affect things.
39:33
Speaker 5: Tomorrow high to be in the fifties with rain Saturday
39:37
Speaker 5: and Sunday supposedly better kind of like today, maybe a
39:40
Speaker 5: little cooler in the high fifties something like that, so
39:44
Speaker 5: it might be better there or low sixties. But tomorrow
39:47
Speaker 5: is the biggest risk of having in claim up weather,
39:50
Speaker 5: so we'll see how that sets up.
39:51
Speaker 1: That's how it's been every weekend though, Craig.
39:53
Speaker 2: I mean, we're used to this now, we're just trying
39:55
Speaker 2: to get through a weekend without any sort of weather lays,
39:57
Speaker 2: whether it's Texas baseball or softball, and we got through
40:00
Speaker 2: it last weekend, but we wouldn't be surprised if it
40:03
Speaker 2: aff access this week At five fifteen year time tomorrow
40:06
Speaker 2: on one O three one FM, Craig Way and Keith
40:09
Speaker 2: Muller will have to call Craig, thanks you stopping by
40:11
Speaker 2: and we'll visit with you tomorrow.
40:13
Speaker 4: Hey, I have to ask you this, when Luca got.
40:15
Speaker 5: All peered up last night, did you get a little
40:18
Speaker 5: bit clem to yourself, you know the limits that you
40:21
Speaker 5: got kind of choked up about it? And then then
40:23
Speaker 5: dude goes out and drops forty five on the average. Now,
40:25
Speaker 5: the happy story if you're a Maverick fan is they
40:28
Speaker 5: back into the playoffs anyway since Phoenix lost last night,
40:32
Speaker 5: so they wind up getting into that tent spot into
40:36
Speaker 5: the play in. But you know, it was an emotional
40:39
Speaker 5: moment last night, and I had two or three people
40:42
Speaker 5: make a very good point and say, you know, maybe
40:46
Speaker 5: that wasn't the best thing in the world because it
40:49
Speaker 5: for Mavericks fans, it wasn't cathartic. All it did was
40:53
Speaker 5: make people angry or and sad. All over again. But
40:56
Speaker 5: it was a really nice video that did for Luca,
40:58
Speaker 5: and he got, you know, kind of emotional about it obviously,
41:02
Speaker 5: but then he went out and dropped forty five pointy
41:04
Speaker 5: ting so in a game that the Lakers really needed
41:06
Speaker 5: as well.
41:07
Speaker 2: I don't know if Mavericks fans will ever get closure,
41:10
Speaker 2: right because I think about with Spurs fans to Kawhi
41:12
Speaker 2: trade completely different, completely different, because obviously Kawhi Leonard asked
41:18
Speaker 2: for a trade, whereas Lucas Luca was traded.
41:20
Speaker 1: But you know, when Kawhia left Toronto after winning an.
41:23
Speaker 2: NBA championship, if I was the MVPA to go to Los Angeles,
41:26
Speaker 2: I think Spurs fans recognized, Okay, you know what, he
41:29
Speaker 2: always wanted to go to La Luca.
41:32
Speaker 1: And the tribute to do Craig. He was cheering up.
41:34
Speaker 2: He didn't want to go to La He wanted to
41:36
Speaker 2: end his career in Dallas. And I think for Mavericks
41:39
Speaker 2: fans that made things worse last night.
41:42
Speaker 5: That's exactly the point I was trying to make there.
41:45
Speaker 5: I don't think it was cathartic in any sense of it,
41:48
Speaker 5: But you know what, if Mavericks management flaud it was
41:52
Speaker 5: going to be. Then they made another big mistake. If
41:55
Speaker 5: their thought was only to say, hey, look, Luca, we
41:59
Speaker 5: appreciate what you've done, and even.
42:00
Speaker 4: After they said some discouraging things about him after the trade.
42:03
Speaker 4: But if they truly.
42:05
Speaker 5: Mention it as a compliment to Lucid and mission accomplished,
42:07
Speaker 5: they did their job because it was a really nice tribute.
42:10
Speaker 4: Obviously brought Luke at the tiers, but I think.
42:13
Speaker 5: It kind of backfired in terms of Maverick Stamps is.
42:16
Speaker 5: All we did was make a mad all over again
42:18
Speaker 5: thinking about here is this guy who is our hero
42:20
Speaker 5: and everything, and he's been taken away from.
42:22
Speaker 2: Us, especially if the Lakers go on a deep playoff run,
42:25
Speaker 2: which the way they're playing would not be surprised. Well,
42:28
Speaker 2: let's get to Kentucky Proud Park and hopefully is it
42:31
Speaker 2: with you at some point tomorrow.
42:32
Speaker 3: Craig, you bet we'll do it. Thanks Jim.
42:35
Speaker 2: All right, that's Craig Way joining us live from Lachington, Kentucky.
42:39
Speaker 2: Remember Texas Baseball and Action this weekend. Friday and Sunday's

Speaker 2: Of course, you can always listen to it for free
42:51
Speaker 2: on the iHeart Radio app. We'll be back with more
42:53
Speaker 2: coverage here. Hour two of the Creigway Show continues after this.
42:58
Speaker 2: Thanks to Craig Way for stop and by and calling
43:01
Speaker 2: in here from Lexington, Kentucky, As Texas Baseball in action
43:05
Speaker 2: this weekend against the Kentucky Wildcats and SEC play. Craig
43:08
Speaker 2: WAYE will have to call alongside Keith Morland all weekend
43:11
Speaker 2: long on the free iHeart Radio app. Day one of
43:16
Speaker 2: the Masters Underway. Your leader currently is still Justin Rose,
43:19
Speaker 2: who is on the fifteenth hole right now, the par five.
43:23
Speaker 2: He is holding strong at six under bar in fact,
43:26
Speaker 2: could have stretched his lead the seven under but he
43:28
Speaker 2: missed about a four foot putt for birdie on the
43:31
Speaker 2: thirteenth hole. He is currently behind the green on the
43:35
Speaker 2: fifteenth that long par five, but if he gets up
43:38
Speaker 2: and down for Bertie, he will hold on to a
43:40
Speaker 2: three stroke lead with just three holes left the play.
43:43
Speaker 1: Corey Connors and Scotty Scheffler in.
43:46
Speaker 2: The Luck in the Clubhouse excuse me at four hundred
43:49
Speaker 2: par a pair of sixty eight's for Connors and Scheffler
43:53
Speaker 2: and Scottie himself visited with Michael Leaves from ESPN after
43:56
Speaker 2: the round.
43:58
Speaker 9: Keffler started the first round of the Masters with a
44:01
Speaker 9: score in the sixties.
44:03
Speaker 10: No bogies on the round as well.
44:04
Speaker 9: Wouldn't say it was easy out there, but how would
44:06
Speaker 9: you assess the overall round?
44:08
Speaker 11: It definitely wasn't easy out there. The greens were starting
44:10
Speaker 11: to firm up. It's definitely going to be a firm
44:12
Speaker 11: Masters this year. And yeah, I thought I was playing
44:15
Speaker 11: pretty tough out there. Did a good job of managing
44:16
Speaker 11: my way around the course. Like you said, kept the
44:18
Speaker 11: card clean with no bogies, and that making no bogies
44:21
Speaker 11: around here, you're always going to have a pretty good score.
44:23
Speaker 9: This is the first time, says twenty twenty one, that
44:24
Speaker 9: you've come here without recording to win. Prior to coming
44:27
Speaker 9: to Augustin, you said earlier in the week though, that
44:28
Speaker 9: despite being winless at this point, you were very confident
44:31
Speaker 9: in your preparation. How did that manifest itself today in
44:34
Speaker 9: your opening round.
44:35
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, I always trying to focus as much as
44:37
Speaker 11: I can in my preparation. That's what gives me confidence
44:39
Speaker 11: going into a tournament. And at the beginning of this year,
44:41
Speaker 11: with the injury. I obviously wasn't as prepared as I
44:44
Speaker 11: could have been without the injury. I still was as
44:47
Speaker 11: prepared as possible for me, but you know, it was
44:50
Speaker 11: nice having a little bit of time. I felt like
44:52
Speaker 11: I was figuring stuff out. I was definitely learning from
44:54
Speaker 11: not playing my best to start the year. But I
44:56
Speaker 11: had some good starts. I had some starts that that
44:58
Speaker 11: also weren't so good, but I was definitely I felt
45:00
Speaker 11: like I was learning a lot and I felt, you know,
45:02
Speaker 11: very prepared to go into this tournament.
45:04
Speaker 9: Two wins here in the last three years. How do
45:06
Speaker 9: you continue to lean on that experience, Scotty as you
45:08
Speaker 9: get towards the weekend.
45:10
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, yes, it's nice having the success here.
45:13
Speaker 11: It's great having the success around the golf course. That's
45:15
Speaker 11: something I can lean on mentally out there. But at
45:17
Speaker 11: the end of the day, everybody starts to even par.
45:19
Speaker 11: Last couple of tournaments don't matter. You know, there's a
45:22
Speaker 11: group of guys in the golf course we got try
45:24
Speaker 11: and beat this week, and that's what I'm focused on.
45:25
Speaker 10: Appreciate the time was always thanks, all right?
45:28
Speaker 2: So it was sixty eight for Scotty Scheffler. He is
45:31
Speaker 2: two back of Justin Rose, is a clean scorecard, got
45:36
Speaker 2: out to a birdie on two, a birdie on four
45:39
Speaker 2: the par three, another birdie on a par five the
45:41
Speaker 2: eighth hole, made the tournament three under par, would play
45:44
Speaker 2: him and corner even parr including just making par on
45:48
Speaker 2: the thirteenth hole, the par five, and even making par
45:51
Speaker 2: on the fifteenth the par five, so only playing the
45:53
Speaker 2: par five's two under par, but would convert a long
45:56
Speaker 2: birdy putt on the sixteenth pole to finish that four under.
46:00
Speaker 2: Great round for Scotty Scheffler could have been even better,
46:03
Speaker 2: but when she pointed out, or as Michael Eaves pointed out,
46:06
Speaker 2: no bogies on the scorecard, you can't win the Masters
46:09
Speaker 2: on the first day, but you certainly can lose it.
46:12
Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler once again putting himself in fantastic position again
46:17
Speaker 2: two time Masters champion. In both times he's been inside
46:21
Speaker 2: the top ten after the first round. In fact, he's
46:22
Speaker 2: been in second place both times, and he's currently tied
46:25
Speaker 2: for second behind Justin Rose. He is tied with Corey
46:28
Speaker 2: Conners at four under park and we're going to hear
46:31
Speaker 2: more from Scotty Scheffler throughout today's show, including another post
46:36
Speaker 2: round interview. Jordan Spithan with a one over par seventy
46:40
Speaker 2: three on the day, he is tied for thirty seventh.
46:42
Speaker 2: Roy Malcroy currently at three under par through eleven holes,
46:47
Speaker 2: the long time golfer, who of course a favorite to
46:51
Speaker 2: go into this tournament, has not won the Masters yet.
46:53
Speaker 2: He needs to have to complete the quer Grand Slam,
46:56
Speaker 2: and as we talked about with Craig, his Achilles Hills
47:00
Speaker 2: has been the first round at Augusta, where he has
47:03
Speaker 2: shot himself out of the tournament early on. Looking at
47:06
Speaker 2: those last couple last couple of Masters appearances, he shot
47:10
Speaker 2: a seventy two in twenty twenty three, he would end
47:12
Speaker 2: up missing the cut there after a seventy seven on
47:15
Speaker 2: a round two.
47:16
Speaker 1: He shot a seventy three. In twenty twenty.
47:17
Speaker 2: Two, he would end up finishing second after a final
47:20
Speaker 2: round sixty four behind Scotty Scheffard.
47:23
Speaker 1: Remember Scotty kind of ran away with that tournament.
47:25
Speaker 2: Remember he infamously went four putted the eighteenth hole and
47:28
Speaker 2: still won by a couple of shots, so a second
47:32
Speaker 2: place but kind of a non compete second place. In
47:34
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, he missed a cut a seventy six
47:37
Speaker 2: in the first round twenty twenty a T five, but
47:40
Speaker 2: shot at seventy five in the opening round. Imagine if
47:43
Speaker 2: you just shot a regular round on that Thursday and
47:47
Speaker 2: then twenty nineteen again over par as seventy three would
47:51
Speaker 2: finish T.
47:52
Speaker 1: Twenty one.
47:52
Speaker 2: He is not shot in the sixties on opening day
47:56
Speaker 2: since twenty eighteen. In fact, overall in his Master's career,
47:59
Speaker 2: he's only shot seventy twice, and both those times he
48:03
Speaker 2: finished tied inside the top fifteen T fifteen twenty eleven. Remember,
48:08
Speaker 2: I believe he was actually leading on the tee box
48:11
Speaker 2: on the final day heading into the back nine before
48:13
Speaker 2: he hooked it out of bounce on the tenth hole
48:16
Speaker 2: eleventh hole ended up shooting an eighty in that final round.
48:19
Speaker 2: That was when sharl Schwoltzel what berdie the last four
48:22
Speaker 2: holes to win his first and only major champion. Then
48:26
Speaker 2: the sixty nine to twenty eighteen would finish tied for fifth,
48:29
Speaker 2: which shoot a seventy four in the final round. He
48:31
Speaker 2: was in the final pairing with Patrick Reid in twenty eighteen.
48:35
Speaker 2: That year that Jordan Speed made that near comeback finished
48:40
Speaker 2: to win the Masters and would end up finishing what
48:42
Speaker 2: I believe tied for third or third place behind Ricky Foller.
48:45
Speaker 2: But again the key forer Rory is can he shoot
48:48
Speaker 2: under par and not shoot himself out of the tournament
48:51
Speaker 2: on opening day? And so far three hundred part Right
48:54
Speaker 2: now he is playing Amen corner. He is on the
48:57
Speaker 2: twelfth hole, and we'll catch a look and see where
48:59
Speaker 2: he's currently at right now on the golf course, as
49:02
Speaker 2: it looks like he is not teed off yet on
49:05
Speaker 2: the twelfth hole, a hole that has infamously acclaimed many
49:11
Speaker 2: many golf balls and has ruined the hopes of many
49:13
Speaker 2: green jackets for many golfers in the field. Justin Rose,
49:17
Speaker 2: by the way a birdie on the fifteenth hole. He
49:20
Speaker 2: is now seven under par, three shots clear of Scottie
49:24
Speaker 2: Scheffler and Corey Conners. We'll be back to wrap up
49:28
Speaker 2: our number two of today's program here on the free
49:32
Speaker 2: iHeart Radio app.
49:33
Speaker 1: One hour to go here on the Craig Ways.
49:36
Speaker 2: Show up with Justin Rose pulling in a party put
49:38
Speaker 2: on the seventeenth sorry sixteenth hole. He is now eight
49:42
Speaker 2: under par, four shots clear of Scottie Scheffler and Corey Connors.
49:48
Speaker 1: Currently through this opening round at Augusta.
49:51
Speaker 2: Justin Rose has won one major championship, a US Open
49:55
Speaker 2: at Marion.
49:56
Speaker 1: Can he win a.
49:58
Speaker 2: Second major championship capture his first ever Green jacket. He's
50:02
Speaker 2: played very well in this tournament before, but has never
50:04
Speaker 2: been able to close the deal. Coming up on today's program,
50:10
Speaker 2: when we're hour to go, we're gonna hear from Arch
50:12
Speaker 2: Manning as he spoke with the media today about QB one,
50:15
Speaker 2: his new nil deals, all that, but wanted to kind
50:19
Speaker 2: of close the door on the Luka doncicch Dallas Mavericks
50:23
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Lakers game last sight and here from Luka
50:26
Speaker 2: Doncics as well. Again Luca's first ever game in Dallas
50:30
Speaker 2: since the trade, a one to twelve ninety seven victory
50:33
Speaker 2: the Lakers. Luca had thirty one points at halftime. He
50:36
Speaker 2: was the only Laker in double figures at halftime, ends
50:39
Speaker 2: up with forty five points on sixteen to twenty eight,
50:41
Speaker 2: shooting seven to ten from three, six and nine at
50:45
Speaker 2: the line, eight rebound, six assists, force deals, just your
50:49
Speaker 2: typical Luca masterpiece performance. Would end up scoring seven straight
50:54
Speaker 2: points in the fourth quarter to effectively close the door
50:58
Speaker 2: on Dallas and maybe get Mavericks fans a little closure.
51:04
Speaker 1: Maybe not as.
51:05
Speaker 2: Nico Harrison and the organization all watched as Luca did
51:10
Speaker 2: luk at things, but did it in Lakers green, or
51:13
Speaker 2: rather Lakers gold in purple. So here's Luca Dodgers last
51:18
Speaker 2: night postgame talking about his return to Dallas.
51:24
Speaker 12: Luca, how did you go from the emotions of the
51:27
Speaker 12: video and the fans and the reception and everything to then,
51:30
Speaker 12: you know, playing the way that you played.
51:35
Speaker 7: A good question?
51:37
Speaker 13: No, like I said post game in after David like,
51:41
Speaker 13: I was like, there's no way I'm playing this game
51:43
Speaker 13: though it was so many emotions, and you know, I
51:47
Speaker 13: just went out there.
51:49
Speaker 7: And just played bas stool.
51:51
Speaker 1: When you checked out or.
51:53
Speaker 14: There's a time out, I guess before you checked out,
51:55
Speaker 14: you had forty five points, come to the bench some
51:58
Speaker 14: of the fans and they were in a chance and
52:00
Speaker 14: your Laker teammates are jumping up and down and chanting
52:02
Speaker 14: it too.
52:03
Speaker 1: What was that moment like for you? And how do
52:05
Speaker 1: you think this?
52:07
Speaker 14: Uh was an eventful day for the Lakers as a
52:10
Speaker 14: team and you being a part of them.
52:12
Speaker 13: Big time because they all had my back and so
52:16
Speaker 13: we talked about before the game and everybody had my
52:18
Speaker 13: back from coaches to players and you know, we're trying
52:22
Speaker 13: to build something special here and and that.
52:24
Speaker 7: Was pretty really really nice to see.
52:27
Speaker 1: I know we talked about this last time a little bit.
52:29
Speaker 15: You said, you know it was gonna be emotional night,
52:31
Speaker 15: but you weren't fully sure what to expect.
52:34
Speaker 1: I guess when you woke up this.
52:35
Speaker 15: Morning, even got serena more so even pregame, like what
52:38
Speaker 15: were you feeling as you know, you walked through the
52:40
Speaker 15: arena for the first time in a while, as you
52:42
Speaker 15: you know, you see these faces like what we what
52:44
Speaker 15: were you feeling those specifically?
52:47
Speaker 13: Well, it was a little bit of both, you know,
52:50
Speaker 13: happy and angry, but you know it's nice to see, uh,
52:55
Speaker 13: some formiliar faces here. You know, I spent a lot
52:57
Speaker 13: of times with them. Uh, But you say, you know,
53:00
Speaker 13: it was a lot of emotions. When I woke up,
53:03
Speaker 13: I was tired and I didn't sleep much. I was
53:06
Speaker 13: excited about this game, and you know, I really appreciate
53:09
Speaker 13: the fence, the way they reacted to me.
53:12
Speaker 16: Luca, what was the exhale like after the exhale, was
53:17
Speaker 16: there a sigh of relief for exhaustion from you? After
53:20
Speaker 16: after tonight to be able to put I'm tired.
53:24
Speaker 7: I'm tired, but you know, I'm happy. I'm happy so
53:29
Speaker 7: I can get some sleep finally.
53:32
Speaker 13: But like I said, it was an amazing experience, you know,
53:35
Speaker 13: like I said, the fence, the way they accept.
53:37
Speaker 7: Me, you know, true for me, it was just unbelievable.
53:43
Speaker 3: Luca.
53:43
Speaker 17: You had that moment after you checked out where you
53:46
Speaker 17: got a standing ovation from the crowd, you got a
53:48
Speaker 17: standing ovation from the bench, and then you sat down
53:51
Speaker 17: and you were surrounded by everyone standing. What was going
53:54
Speaker 17: through your head there when you kind of sat by
53:56
Speaker 17: yourself for like thirty seconds.
53:59
Speaker 13: Honestly, I don't really know. I wasn't even thinking. I
54:02
Speaker 13: was just I was just, you know, happy. I wasn't
54:08
Speaker 13: with I'm sorry. I don't know what to say because
54:11
Speaker 13: I wasn't with it thinking. I was just saying, there,
54:13
Speaker 13: it's over. You know what we want and I have
54:17
Speaker 13: had a great time.
54:19
Speaker 12: Look, they've alluded to this a little bit, but not
54:22
Speaker 12: just tonight's win, but you know, beating okay, see in
54:24
Speaker 12: the way that you did hanging in in the second game,
54:27
Speaker 12: what kind of collective confidence Lets just give you, guys,
54:29
Speaker 12: as you know you still need one win to secure
54:31
Speaker 12: the three seed. But what confidence does it give you
54:33
Speaker 12: as you approached the playoffs.
54:34
Speaker 13: I mean, first, it was a big time that we Uh,
54:37
Speaker 13: the week I clinched playoff spot, you know, it's a
54:40
Speaker 13: big time. You don't want to play in playing you know,
54:44
Speaker 13: you get some rest, but obviously we want the third
54:47
Speaker 13: seat and we're gonna go after it for sure. Look,
54:50
Speaker 13: if you can explain and spanishenpel to start in the video,
54:58
Speaker 13: he went on one of which you know, movement.
55:15
Speaker 7: Mina, so you're ok uh, and so.
55:22
Speaker 13: He went and which he went.
55:28
Speaker 7: Simple lane.
55:32
Speaker 3: Like you see that.
55:36
Speaker 16: Lucas, specifically during that pregame video, what were some of
55:41
Speaker 16: the moments that I found you made you most emotional?
55:45
Speaker 16: Was there anything in particular that really stuck out to
55:48
Speaker 16: you as you kind of looked back as that sort
55:50
Speaker 16: of you know, your basketball career in America kind of
55:52
Speaker 16: compressed in the two minutes.
55:55
Speaker 13: Well, I mean all of it, for sure, But I
55:58
Speaker 13: mean I would probably say that the shot in the
56:00
Speaker 13: finals of the conference on the conference finals, you know,
56:05
Speaker 13: we were always the underdog and every serious so the
56:10
Speaker 13: way we came together and played together, Uh, it was
56:14
Speaker 13: just another level and everybody, everybody was locked in and
56:19
Speaker 13: I would say that was that was the moment when
56:21
Speaker 13: I remember last.
56:22
Speaker 18: Year look At, there was a lot of moments there
56:24
Speaker 18: with your former teammates. You had exchanges, you had embraces.
56:29
Speaker 18: What was that like for you personally? Just giving everything
56:31
Speaker 18: you just mentioned you've been through them and then so
56:34
Speaker 18: you had a moment there with a d at the
56:36
Speaker 18: end and what can you share about that conversation?
56:38
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean those those are like I say, you know,
56:41
Speaker 13: it was my brothers. I know we're not on the
56:44
Speaker 13: same team now, but I always have contact with them.
56:46
Speaker 13: We went to wards together, and you know, it was
56:49
Speaker 13: just like it was nice to see everybody uh in
56:53
Speaker 13: the you know, with the d Uh we got traded
56:55
Speaker 13: for each other. So from now and everybody gonna compare
56:58
Speaker 13: us to Uh, I think he's an amazing player and
57:01
Speaker 13: I think he's going to do really good than dollars.
57:10
Speaker 19: Look at.
57:10
Speaker 18: You know, you spoke back in February about how it
57:12
Speaker 18: will take time for closure, and you said after this
57:15
Speaker 18: game on the broadcast, it's time to move on.
57:17
Speaker 19: You do let you have closure.
57:23
Speaker 7: It's a hard question. I mean, for sure, it's a
57:26
Speaker 7: little bit more.
57:27
Speaker 19: Uh.
57:27
Speaker 13: You know, talking about closure sometimes hard because like I said,
57:32
Speaker 13: I spent a lot of time here in great moments,
57:35
Speaker 13: but it's like I said, it's a good more and
57:37
Speaker 13: more and I got to focus on different things now.
57:41
Speaker 1: That's to Lucas point there.
57:50
Speaker 2: I don't know if closure will ever come about for
57:53
Speaker 2: for Dallas Mavericks fans after this trade.
57:56
Speaker 7: Uh.
57:56
Speaker 2: Again, a lot of the discourse you saw on social
57:58
Speaker 2: media last night trying to make sense of it, and
58:01
Speaker 2: I don't think we ever will. And even if the
58:04
Speaker 2: Mavericks somehow win a championship with Ad and Kyrie Irving,
58:10
Speaker 2: I think Maverick fans are still always going to be
58:13
Speaker 2: one upset at this trade and two never never will
58:22
Speaker 2: move away from being Luca fans. I mean, you look
58:24
Speaker 2: at the arena last night, the Luca jerseys, whether they
58:27
Speaker 2: were Mavericks jerseys with the Mavericks crossed out and Lakers
58:32
Speaker 2: taped over it, or Laker Luca jerseys. There was a
58:36
Speaker 2: Lakers fire Nico jersey. This trade will go down as
58:41
Speaker 2: one of the worst trades I think of all time,
58:45
Speaker 2: And depending on what happens with Luca's career in the Lakers,
58:49
Speaker 2: I don't think Mavericks fans will get closer, especially especially
58:52
Speaker 2: if Nico Harrison is fired and this moves on, or
58:56
Speaker 2: the Mavericks organization does change, just we'll be looked back
58:59
Speaker 2: as a fair every dark period of time for the Mavericks.
59:02
Speaker 2: But as Lucas said, it's time for him to move on,
59:04
Speaker 2: and for Mavericks fans, I just don't know if they'll
59:08
Speaker 2: be able to ever move on from the Luca trade.
59:11
Speaker 2: That's all we got for the Luca trade. That's enough
59:13
Speaker 2: for y'all. Sorry for bringing up the emotional pain from
59:17
Speaker 2: that last night, but we'll continue on with today's show.
59:20
Speaker 2: Up next, arch Manning QB one. First time this spring
59:24
Speaker 2: he has spoken with the media. What did he have
59:26
Speaker 2: to say about possibly spending four years in Austin. That's
59:30
Speaker 2: up next on the Craigway Show QB one. Arch Manning
59:34
Speaker 2: visited with the media today after what practice number eight
59:38
Speaker 2: or nine in the spring football well underway. Remember no
59:40
Speaker 2: Orange white game this year. There will be a ut
59:43
Speaker 2: fan fest however, April twenty sixth Saturday. In fact, we're
59:46
Speaker 2: gonna have a live show out outside DKR. Believe we're
59:50
Speaker 2: gonna be outside Gate eight. Craig my Cars, myself and
59:55
Speaker 2: some other guests as well special guests previewing Texas spring
59:59
Speaker 2: football get closer and closer to opening day in August
1:00:03
Speaker 2: of this year. So, without further ado, here's Arch Manning
1:00:06
Speaker 2: from today's media availability.
1:00:09
Speaker 8: How's that kind of your first sprance, kind of the start?
1:00:12
Speaker 19: How's that going for you so far?
1:00:14
Speaker 10: A couple of weekscited good? Feels good.
1:00:16
Speaker 20: We got a good team, a bunch of good guys,
1:00:18
Speaker 20: so I'm excited to start taking some more than one reps.
1:00:20
Speaker 8: Marsh, how much time did you spend prior to in
1:00:22
Speaker 8: this year throwing to some of the guys you know
1:00:24
Speaker 8: who are now coming up here, the Aaron Butler's Parker
1:00:26
Speaker 8: with the Sells.
1:00:28
Speaker 19: Did you spend a lot of time with them when
1:00:29
Speaker 19: you were Q two and QB three.
1:00:31
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I live with Parker and a bunch
1:00:32
Speaker 10: of those guys.
1:00:33
Speaker 20: When you're the backups, you spend a lot of time
1:00:36
Speaker 20: together in practice and getting those reps.
1:00:37
Speaker 10: So it's cool now we're all running with the ones.
1:00:40
Speaker 19: Can it be? Can it be overstated?
1:00:43
Speaker 6: It's just the importance of you got that game experience
1:00:45
Speaker 6: last year, and.
1:00:47
Speaker 19: You got all that a lot.
1:00:47
Speaker 21: Of experience more than just a random back then, And
1:00:50
Speaker 21: how that does that make the transition smoother.
1:00:53
Speaker 20: Yes, there definitely. Anytime you can get game reps, that's
1:00:56
Speaker 20: just such a help and I'm really glad I got
1:00:59
Speaker 20: to play in those games.
1:01:00
Speaker 19: What was the biggest thing you learned?
1:01:01
Speaker 10: You think just you know the speed of the game.
1:01:03
Speaker 20: It's also a good way for me to play in
1:01:06
Speaker 20: front of people, front of one hundred thousand, so that
1:01:09
Speaker 20: was definitely the biggest thing for me.
1:01:11
Speaker 19: Marching hindsight, how much did Quinn try to help you
1:01:13
Speaker 19: over the last two years.
1:01:13
Speaker 10: Just to get them comfortable and get you ready to
1:01:15
Speaker 10: go now?
1:01:16
Speaker 20: Yeah, Quinn's been great. I was just with him this
1:01:18
Speaker 20: past weekend at Hayden Connor's wedding.
1:01:20
Speaker 10: He's just been so good at me over the years.
1:01:22
Speaker 20: It's probably pretty annoying having me as the backup, just
1:01:26
Speaker 20: with all the media stuff, but he handled it like
1:01:27
Speaker 20: a champ and he was so good to me along
1:01:29
Speaker 20: the way.
1:01:30
Speaker 19: Do you think it's anoight?
1:01:31
Speaker 20: Yeah?
1:01:32
Speaker 10: Yeah, it comes along for sure for sure.
1:01:34
Speaker 11: Sorry, how do you do how do you take the
1:01:40

1:03:12
Speaker 21: Ty archb Heart from sark on Tuesday. You know, your energy,
1:03:16
Speaker 21: your competitiveness is driving some of the defense. Also, what
1:03:19
Speaker 21: comes with that is some talk, some smack talk on again,
1:03:22
Speaker 21: what's that like?
1:03:22
Speaker 10: The falling it in and how does that maybe both
1:03:25
Speaker 10: tis fall about it.
1:03:26
Speaker 20: I think that's just the competition we have in this team. Obviously,
1:03:28
Speaker 20: Colin and are good players, and it's kind of fun
1:03:31
Speaker 20: and practice is going to talk a little crap to them,
1:03:33
Speaker 20: saying with Taff that just makes practice more fun.
1:03:36
Speaker 19: Trey was saying it's.
1:03:37
Speaker 1: A young team, but like a lot of that confuses
1:03:40
Speaker 1: a lot of energy.
1:03:40
Speaker 2: As someone that's maybe not as young anymore, what do
1:03:43
Speaker 2: you see from these younger.
1:03:44
Speaker 19: Guys how it might be a positive thing for you guys.
1:03:46
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's really cool to see these young guys want
1:03:48
Speaker 20: to be good and they bring good energy and that
1:03:51
Speaker 20: what's make that's what makes practice more fun. And they
1:03:54
Speaker 20: want to be good, so that's that's encouraging.
1:03:56
Speaker 2: Arch Do you think you're gonna be able to run
1:03:58
Speaker 2: with the same physicality, the infrequency and how to hear Starter?
1:04:01
Speaker 19: That's any new change to in regard to head incredible.
1:04:04
Speaker 10: I think I'm always gonna have to use my legs

Speaker 10: when I can.
1:04:07
Speaker 20: My grandfather tells me all the time, just get down
1:04:09
Speaker 20: or get out of bound, so he wants to play
1:04:11
Speaker 20: for a while.
1:04:12

1:04:15
Speaker 6: Quinn about you know, the criticisms.
1:04:17
Speaker 7: That will come his fall.
1:04:19
Speaker 20: Yeah, I would always talk with Quinn about that last year,
1:04:21
Speaker 20: and I think for me he was a great example.
1:04:23
Speaker 20: He handled that so well. I mean, he didn't look
1:04:25
Speaker 20: at the media. He was the same guy whether he
1:04:26
Speaker 20: was getting praised or not praised.
1:04:28
Speaker 10: So that was really cool to see.
1:04:30
Speaker 23: What type of relationship do you have with Trevor consider
1:04:32
Speaker 23: he's probably gonna be your blindside guy, Quinn had kel,
1:04:35
Speaker 23: then you're gonna have him.
1:04:36
Speaker 19: What do you see from the.
1:04:37

Speaker 20: I think I'm just focused on spring ball right now.
1:10:40
Speaker 20: Got all that and I all stuff out of the way.
1:10:42
Speaker 19: To go back to the leadership though.
1:10:44
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that stuff that just can't worn overnight.
1:10:46
Speaker 19: That's an acquired, over time type of deal.
1:10:49
Speaker 7: What is the key?
1:10:50
Speaker 19: What's the key to winning guys? Trust?
1:10:52

1:11:03
Speaker 20: for them. But I think I'm imperfect, Like I'm gonna
1:11:06

Speaker 23: at the quarter for on offense.
1:11:26
Speaker 19: Can you kind of recognize that.
1:11:28
Speaker 23: The players who may enter the quarter are going to
1:11:30
Speaker 23: see you, see your name and be gravitating to Texas
1:11:33
Speaker 23: because of that you do anything as a result.
1:11:36
Speaker 10: I sure hope.
1:11:36
Speaker 20: So, yeah, I sure hope they want to come here,
1:11:39

1:12:25
Speaker 20: stay straight. You know, it's great when you win, it's
1:12:26
Speaker 20: great when you lose. It's not great when you lose,

1:12:40
Speaker 2: gonna pick up basketball but not good at the real thing.
1:12:42
Speaker 2: That's probably where the similarities begin and end between me
1:12:46
Speaker 2: and Arch Manning.
1:12:47
Speaker 1: But there he is QB one.
1:12:49
Speaker 2: Some sound from Trey Wiser praps on tomorrow's program. With
1:12:52
Speaker 2: springball officially underway, I do you want to hear more
1:12:55
Speaker 2: recap of springball?
1:12:57
Speaker 1: Check out my interview with c J.
1:12:58
Speaker 2: Folliwill earlier today two o'clock hour that will be posted
1:13:01
Speaker 2: to the Craigway Show podcast page on the Free iHeart
1:13:05
Speaker 2: Radio at More to come here before we close out
1:13:08
Speaker 2: today's show. A quick updates from the Masters, where Roy
1:13:12
Speaker 2: McElroy a birdie on the par five to twelfth hole.
1:13:15
Speaker 2: He has four shots back from Justin Rose, who got
1:13:18
Speaker 2: a little bit of tree trouble on seventeen, able to
1:13:20
Speaker 2: get out of it make par, but once again has
1:13:23
Speaker 2: not found the fairway on the eighteenth hole, so some
1:13:26
Speaker 2: work to do. He is currently evaluating his options standing
1:13:30
Speaker 2: on the Pinestrial going to have to pitch out, perhaps
1:13:33
Speaker 2: on the eighteenth hole, so he will hold on to
1:13:37
Speaker 2: the first round lead into the clubhouse depends on how
1:13:40
Speaker 2: will he be at eight under, seven under, or maybe
1:13:43
Speaker 2: even worse than that. But curtainly, your clubhouse leaders are
1:13:46
Speaker 2: Corey Connors and Scottie Scheffler at four hundred par after
1:13:50
Speaker 2: a pair of sixty eight's ludfit Aberg and Bryce and
1:13:54
Speaker 2: the Shambeau both two under par right now they're on
1:13:57
Speaker 2: the fourteenth hole. Mentioned Rory already at four hunder par.
1:14:00
Speaker 2: He's got one more par five to go. Could Roy
1:14:02
Speaker 2: McRoy perhaps get to five under par? More updates for
1:14:06
Speaker 2: the maskers up next, though, gonna look at the draft boards.
1:14:10
Speaker 2: We talked about maybe three long Horns going in the
1:14:13
Speaker 2: first round. Could there be more? Could there be less?
1:14:15
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out up next here as our three
1:14:17
Speaker 2: of the Greigway Show continues on this Thursday afternoon, two
1:14:21
Speaker 2: weeks away from the NFL Draft and the Texas Longhorns
1:14:25
Speaker 2: in position to set a program record for most draft
1:14:30
Speaker 2: picks selected rapps, We're looking at least possibly three in
1:14:34
Speaker 2: the first rounds were likely? Will it be Johnny Baron
1:14:38
Speaker 2: or maybe Matthew Golden first off the board, could it
1:14:42
Speaker 2: be Kelvin Banks.
1:14:43
Speaker 1: Well, let's take a look.
1:14:43
Speaker 2: At Dane Brugler's NFL draft guy from the Ringer, sorry,
1:14:48
Speaker 2: from the Athletic called the Beast. You look to the
1:14:51
Speaker 2: top one hundred players and we'll start with the quarterbacks.
1:14:54
Speaker 2: His listing so far in the top five cam Ward
1:14:57
Speaker 2: at number one, should Or Sanders number two, Jack in
1:15:00
Speaker 2: Dart three, Tyler Shuck at four. He was a former
1:15:02
Speaker 2: Texas Tech quarterback in number five. Gilen Milroe about Quinn
1:15:06
Speaker 2: yours well number six, currently eighty six out of the
1:15:10
Speaker 2: top one hundred players. And this is what Dane Brewler
1:15:14
Speaker 2: has to say about the former QB one for the
1:15:16
Speaker 2: Texas Longhorns. So, Quinn yours he comes in with questions
1:15:21
Speaker 2: abounding about his his arm strength, but overall his IQ
1:15:27
Speaker 2: is one thing that gives him a lot of leeway
1:15:29
Speaker 2: with NFL teams.
1:15:31
Speaker 1: This is what Brugler has to say.
1:15:32
Speaker 2: Yours operated well and head coach Steve Sarakesian's RBO base
1:15:36
Speaker 2: spread scheme offense with heavy pre snap movement. After a
1:15:39
Speaker 2: high profile recruitment and transfer, he made key improvements over
1:15:42
Speaker 2: his time in Austin engineered one of the best back
1:15:45
Speaker 2: to back runs in Longhorns history. But he trust his
1:15:48
Speaker 2: arm over mechanics. Yours screens rotational torque to get the
1:15:51
Speaker 2: ball quickly and plays with fast size within the structure
1:15:55
Speaker 2: or the offense. He didn't have a true didn't have
1:15:58
Speaker 2: a ton of true dropbacks until third down, which is
1:16:00
Speaker 2: one of his inconsistent pocket princess pocket presence led to
1:16:04
Speaker 2: more negative results saxon turnovers and you want to see
1:16:07
Speaker 2: on third downs fifty five point eight percent completions nine
1:16:11
Speaker 2: to seven touchdown to interception ratio. In twenty twenty four,
1:16:15
Speaker 2: the physicality of a long season war on his body,
1:16:17
Speaker 2: and though he was willing the play through pain, his
1:16:20
Speaker 2: execution clearly was affected. Overall, Yours has the arm intelligence
1:16:24
Speaker 2: in poise that will translate to the next level. Although
1:16:27
Speaker 2: it was up and down decision making, limitation as a
1:16:29
Speaker 2: play extender in durability concerns great questions and marks for
1:16:33
Speaker 2: his pro ceiling. If he stays healthy, the tools are
1:16:36
Speaker 2: there to compete for NFL starting reps, rulers grade third
1:16:40
Speaker 2: round him.
1:16:41
Speaker 1: That does make sense.
1:16:42
Speaker 2: I think for quinn ewors A lot of times with
1:16:44
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and we've seen all the time teams which has
1:16:46
Speaker 2: fall in love with the potential right this ceiling for quarterback.
1:16:50
Speaker 2: A lot of teams in love with the ceiling of
1:16:53
Speaker 2: cam Ward. They're in love with the ceiling of Jaln Milroe.
1:16:57
Speaker 2: For Quinn, youewers, I'm not saying he's a finished product,
1:16:59
Speaker 2: but you know what his arm strength is. You know
1:17:02
Speaker 2: he has a quick release, and you know his level
1:17:05
Speaker 2: IQ is high. Now, well that translate to every NFL team,
1:17:11
Speaker 2: Probably not. I think Quinn is a great fit if
1:17:13
Speaker 2: he's in the RPO based offense, If he lands in
1:17:15
Speaker 2: the style or structure similar to Sean McVay in Los
1:17:18
Speaker 2: Angeles or Mike McDaniel and Miami, or Kyle shanahan in
1:17:23
Speaker 2: San Francisco, Lafleur in Green Bay, I think he can
1:17:27
Speaker 2: fit in a system like that in be excellent. I
1:17:30
Speaker 2: think we can see yours have a similar type career
1:17:33
Speaker 2: to Colt McCoy where he's in the league for ten
1:17:35
Speaker 2: to fifteen years now. I think he can be a
1:17:38
Speaker 2: starter in certain offenses. But again, kind of like Colt.
1:17:41
Speaker 2: The one thing that did come back to by Colt
1:17:44
Speaker 2: was what his ability to stay healthy and also his
1:17:48
Speaker 2: arm strength, and that is what a lot of NFL
1:17:50
Speaker 2: teams look like.
1:17:51
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, look at bow Knicks in Denver. You know
1:17:53
Speaker 1: bow Nicks.
1:17:54
Speaker 2: You know he didn't throw the ball more than ten
1:17:56
Speaker 2: hearts down the field at Oregon. And he had a
1:17:58
Speaker 2: solid year in for in the right scheme, in the
1:18:01
Speaker 2: right fit with John Payton. So if Quinn can landed
1:18:04
Speaker 2: a team, I think that will build around him or
1:18:06
Speaker 2: built an offense base to who's base, to his straints.
1:18:10
Speaker 2: I think Quinn can have a very successful NFL season.
1:18:13
Speaker 2: Of course, when have we seen Quinn healthy?
1:18:17
Speaker 3: Right?
1:18:18
Speaker 2: I think a lot of blame was put on Quinn
1:18:20
Speaker 2: the way he performed on the second half of the season.
1:18:22
Speaker 2: I think it was just he wasn't healthy second half
1:18:24
Speaker 2: against Kentucky, he was unhealthy against A and M.
1:18:27
Speaker 1: He could barely move.
1:18:28
Speaker 2: But that shows you how tough a player he was,
1:18:30
Speaker 2: and I hopefully that's what Texas fans will remember about
1:18:33
Speaker 2: Quinn yours, his ability to tough it out the play
1:18:35
Speaker 2: through injury. I do not think he was one hundred
1:18:39
Speaker 2: percent against Ohio State. I don't think he was one
1:18:41
Speaker 2: hundred percent against Arizona State. He was on one hundred
1:18:44
Speaker 2: percent against Georgia right, but he's still played through the pain.
1:18:48
Speaker 2: He's still toped it out in third round grade from
1:18:52
Speaker 2: Dane Brugler, We'll see where he ends up. Okay, Kelvin Banks,
1:18:56
Speaker 2: the offensive lineman, where will he end up?
1:18:59
Speaker 3: The guard? Right now?
1:19:00
Speaker 2: Now, he's the second ranked guard according to Dane Brugler's
1:19:02
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five NFL Draft twenty six overall, and the
1:19:08
Speaker 2: headline for Calvin Banks is well this spite, this spite
1:19:15
Speaker 2: ideal length. He does project to be an immediate starter.
1:19:19
Speaker 2: A three year starter at Texas, Banks was a fixture
1:19:21
Speaker 2: at left tackle and a head and head coach Steve
1:19:23
Speaker 2: Sarkisian's multiple run scheme offenses. Spite not moving to the
1:19:26
Speaker 2: old line until high school, he looks like he's been
1:19:29
Speaker 2: playing there his entire life. It was not a coincidence
1:19:32
Speaker 2: that the long courts rise mirrored banks tenure with well
1:19:35
Speaker 2: time feet and hard work and handwork. Rather, Banks is
1:19:39
Speaker 2: natural and passed protection and shows an instinctive field to
1:19:41
Speaker 2: attack with leverage and great force through his body mechanics.
1:19:44
Speaker 2: His balance can be too easily disrupted, though, especially in
1:19:47
Speaker 2: the running game, which can leave him overextended or on
1:19:49
Speaker 2: the ground Overall, Banks doesn't have an ideal length. It
1:19:52
Speaker 2: needs to improve his sustained tactics to be consistent finisher
1:19:55
Speaker 2: against NFL talent, but he has controlled footwork in depth in.
1:19:58
Speaker 1: His past sets.
1:19:59
Speaker 2: Plus the fun will know how to fit and leverage
1:20:01
Speaker 2: blocks and keep defenders occupied. He does project as in
1:20:04
Speaker 2: the media NFL starter who can stay at tackle, although
1:20:07
Speaker 2: his best long term position might be guard. His grade
1:20:11
Speaker 2: from Dane Brugler was first to second round. Now he
1:20:14
Speaker 2: will be a first round draft pick, and it depends
1:20:17
Speaker 2: on what teams see him as because we're seeing the
1:20:20
Speaker 2: same issues right with is it Will Campbell or sorry, yeah,
1:20:24
Speaker 2: Will Campbell lsu or people are criticizing his arm length,
1:20:28
Speaker 2: but teams believe that Will Campbell can stay as a tackle.
1:20:33
Speaker 2: Now will a team want Kelvin Banks to be a
1:20:36
Speaker 2: tackle or do they see him as as a guard?
1:20:38
Speaker 2: And that I think that will dictate in the tomament
1:20:41
Speaker 2: where Calvin Banks does end up.
1:20:43
Speaker 1: Okay, joh Dy Barren.
1:20:45
Speaker 2: And there are some reports today coming out that the
1:20:47
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Raiders may be interested Las Vegas Raiders rather
1:20:50
Speaker 2: could be interested in Johdy Barren. Dane Brugler's guide, he
1:20:55
Speaker 2: is third right now top sorry third cornerback, thirtieth overall
1:21:02
Speaker 2: in the top one hundred. A three year starter at Texas,
1:21:05
Speaker 2: Baron played the star hybrid position in defensive coordinators Pete
1:21:07
Speaker 2: Wakowski's son heavy scheme, seeing time at corner safety in
1:21:11
Speaker 2: nickel and dime. After playing primary inside as an underclass
1:21:14
Speaker 2: When he moved outside in twenty twenty four and led
1:21:16
Speaker 2: the sec both interceptions in passes defended, he became the
1:21:20
Speaker 2: third Longhorn to win the Jim Thorpe Award as a
1:21:22
Speaker 2: nation's top defensive back. He holds a master's degree in
1:21:25
Speaker 2: coverage scheme. Sends on a great job developing the mental
1:21:27
Speaker 2: part of his game, giving himself a head start king
1:21:31
Speaker 2: in diagnosing the quarterback in blocking scheme.
1:21:34
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the.
1:21:34
Speaker 2: Burst for easy recoveries, he does play with supreme confidence
1:21:37
Speaker 2: and physicality without crossing the line, especially in so and covers. Overall,
1:21:41
Speaker 2: Baron doesn't have the top tier size that most teams
1:21:44
Speaker 2: prioritize at the cornerback position, but he does trust his
1:21:46
Speaker 2: instincts and competes with the toughness in ball skills to
1:21:49
Speaker 2: hold up versus pass or run. Some teams view him
1:21:53
Speaker 2: as a Nickel only prospect, while others see his value
1:21:55
Speaker 2: to play multiple positions across the secondary. Barn played everything
1:21:59
Speaker 2: at Texas. Right, he played Star Nickel, cornerback and by
1:22:03
Speaker 2: the end of his Texas career, how many times do
1:22:06
Speaker 2: you guys remember teams targeting Ji Dy Baron defensively few
1:22:12
Speaker 2: and far between. Right, it felt like teams never tried
1:22:15
Speaker 2: to attack Jidie Baron, and when they did, especially on
1:22:18
Speaker 2: third downs, Barons would come up with huge, huge plays.
1:22:22
Speaker 2: He became such as straight with the Texas defense and
1:22:25
Speaker 2: that's contributed to who his big rise up and down
1:22:28
Speaker 2: the draft boards. His draft grade from Dane Brugler is
1:22:31
Speaker 2: first in second round. Again, we're hearing a lot of
1:22:34
Speaker 2: murmers about teams maybe moving down in grabbing him as well.
1:22:38
Speaker 2: But Baron could be up there in the first round
1:22:41
Speaker 2: alongside Calvin Banks. And the other first round draft pick
1:22:45
Speaker 2: rafts for Texas is Matthew Golden. I'm sure you guys
1:22:48
Speaker 2: have seen the pictures circulating social media of Matthew Golden
1:22:52
Speaker 2: alongside Jerry Jones. Golden was at the Star yesterday for
1:22:56
Speaker 2: an official visit. He may be the first receiver off
1:22:59
Speaker 2: the board. Tita McMillan from Arizona up there as well,
1:23:03
Speaker 2: but the projection from Dane Brugler is a first and
1:23:07
Speaker 2: second round grade. And here's what Brugler had to say
1:23:09
Speaker 2: about Matthew Golden. Golden was the Sea receiver and head
1:23:12
Speaker 2: coach Steve Sarkisian's RPO pro style spread offense and was
1:23:15
Speaker 2: used across the formation with heavy motions. After two promising
1:23:18
Speaker 2: seasons in the Houston's air raid scheme, he was an
1:23:21
Speaker 2: underratedition for long corns. In twenty twenty four, improved especially
1:23:24
Speaker 2: valuable when it mattered most, averaging one hundred and twenty
1:23:27
Speaker 2: one hundred and two yards per game over his final
1:23:29
Speaker 2: four games. Of course, we remember the Arizona State fourth
1:23:32
Speaker 2: down catch that will be cemented in Longhorn's lower Forever
1:23:36
Speaker 2: him and Quinn yours, Bruger continues fluid in and out
1:23:40
Speaker 2: of his breaks. Golden shows a plan as a route runner.
1:23:43
Speaker 2: I love his ability to his ability to break down
1:23:45
Speaker 2: corners by keeping his eyes, hips and feet and seeing
1:23:47
Speaker 2: that coordination also translates to the catch point with his
1:23:50
Speaker 2: very natural ball skills to track, frame and finish. Overall,
1:23:53
Speaker 2: it might bother some teams that he doesn't have better size,
1:23:56
Speaker 2: but Golden also doesn't have any glaring flaws to his
1:23:59
Speaker 2: game that would keep him from becoming a productive pro.
1:24:02
Speaker 2: He can play inside or outside and become the go
1:24:03
Speaker 2: to target for an NFL offense. I thought his route
1:24:06
Speaker 2: running last season was some of the best route running
1:24:08
Speaker 2: we've seen from a Texas receiver. It reminds me kind
1:24:11
Speaker 2: of a Fixavier Worthy, but Worthy was so quick with
1:24:14
Speaker 2: that first step. Golden his route running, I mean, he
1:24:17
Speaker 2: could run anything in the route tree. And that's why
1:24:20
Speaker 2: he developed such a great relationship with Quinn yours because
1:24:23
Speaker 2: Golden could run anything that Steve Sarkijan want him to
1:24:26
Speaker 2: run in the course was so clutch down the stretch
1:24:29
Speaker 2: for text, I mean Arizona State and mentioned the fourth down,
1:24:32
Speaker 2: the fourth and what thirteen? How about the fourth and
1:24:34
Speaker 2: eight catch? Was that early on in the game. Was
1:24:37
Speaker 2: the first or second quarter? It might have been like
1:24:39
Speaker 2: fourth or two when yours in the gun Golden to
1:24:43
Speaker 2: his left, he threw it on the sideline.
1:24:45
Speaker 1: It was a tiptoe catch.
1:24:47
Speaker 2: It was such a hard play, but it kind of
1:24:49
Speaker 2: this demonstrated the trust that yours in Golden had with
1:24:53
Speaker 2: each other. In Golden's ability to make the catch, Leeb.
1:24:56
Speaker 2: He got two feet inbounds. It just shows you why
1:24:59
Speaker 2: Go is going to be possibly the first receiver taking
1:25:02
Speaker 2: off the board, if not the first.
1:25:04
Speaker 1: And likely the second.
1:25:05
Speaker 2: But all in all, we could see three longhorns taken
1:25:08
Speaker 2: in the first round. We'll be back to wrap up
1:25:10
Speaker 2: today's show here on iHeartRadio.
