• 0:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome, Boythermaker fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for this week's Purdue Report with Jake Dunn.
• 0:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And now the basketball season is over, it won't be every Wednesday that Jake and I are together.
• 0:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'll be from time to time when there are things to talk about, that'll probably be every other week, maybe every third week going forward.
• 0:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: What I wanted to say out of the shoot was all this transfer portal stuff is kind of nauseating and the fact that it's almost not affected per new basketball all just makes me feel so good about this program.
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we learned here this week that Omar Meyer is confirmed coming back for his sophomore season.
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: That was not that there was really much of a doubt that he would leave for the just nice to have that confirmation for him.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: It seems like it's always kind of been at the very least to two-year clan.
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I said, Jake, on my daily show, Greg and his friends talk sports everybody, on Tuesday that I think he'll become their go-to score now.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Omer Meier was made to be a go-to score and he was quite able to do that last year.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: I am really excited to see him kind of take over here.
• 1:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Brandon Smith obviously a great player going to be very hard to fill his shoes, but he was a facilitator that could score and they go and buy us more of a score who can also facilitate.
• 1:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think that would hopefully carry Purdue and some success here in the postseason Kane Pierce.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: He obviously talked about him and kind of why he brings to this team coming from Princeton in the transfer portal.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is officially signed this week and walk on Aaron Fine.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: he is entered the transfer portal here, he's a guy who came to Purdue because he really won no one under Matt Painter.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: He can definitely play at the mid major level and probably do pretty well at the mid major level, but he isn't in the transfer portal, but it's still keeping the option open to return to Purdue.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, be interesting to see happens with him by the
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: seemed like a really great kid as well.
• 2:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: So if he does leave, I'm said that would be sad, but wouldn't it's nice that nobody who played big minutes as left for him.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's all rare.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's incredibly rare.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, IU, the entire team, is practically left.
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Michelle, send me a text today that Texas is women,
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: three players and they're starting lineup are leaving after going to the final four two of the last three years.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jeez.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's just I feel I don't know if I'd be that interested in college basketball if my team was changing players every year.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I certainly wouldn't be, and I think I saw some of them from Jeff Goodman today that said that roughly about 40% of the eligible attorneys were in the transfer portal here for NCAA Division 1 in the basketball, which is pretty, that's pretty crazy, and it's even crazier that that number, either stays the same or it grows every year, it doesn't, it doesn't really decline.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: This musical chairs will ever end, like people are just kind of chasing the bag, chasing the money and it's nice to produce a very fortunate to have players like Jackie, he could have left for more money and just make a future where they could have left for more money if they really wanted to.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, it's a nice to have guys like that that can set the precedent for guys like C.J.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Cox and Jakara Harris, you know, Liar, Jack Banner.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, guys that could definitely do somewhere else make more money.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's great to have guys like that that can set the example.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's really indicative of the kind of player that Matt Panner recruits.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that says a lot for him.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's talked about there was a time maybe 15 years ago.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: a little higher ranked players and he found that it didn't result in better seasons because they didn't quite fit in.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was recruiting based on skill rather than fit.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And as he has started to recruit on things like character and will and camaraderie and things like that, the program is really turned into one of the best in the country.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: think they're definitely still is obviously space on the roster for guys that are highly ranked and talking about yeah absolutely absolutely absolutely and it seems like you know from from some of continuous recent recent turny exits you know it's needed guys that
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, we're of, you know, NBA athleticism or, you know, NBA caliber.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I hope that Purdue obviously can stick with with what's made them successful, but also can can adapt and help take Purdue to the next level and, you know, when when they're, when their second national championship.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: The heads are there first and a long time.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: And there are players being linked to Purdue, the possibility of them transferring in.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the one that I saw that really interested me was flory but don't get it.
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if Purdue would be willing to pay as much as he's probably going to command.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's rated by some of the people as the best player for one of the best players in the portal rightfully so he is very good.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: I imagine he's going to be commanding $5 plus million dollars to come and I don't know for his will to pay that much for somebody like that, but would love for it to happen.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I saw he was linked to like Duke Michigan, Louisville, and St. John.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: So those were kind of the four that were leading the pack for him.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: All schools that I'm sure are willing to to give them an amount of money.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Another possibility at Sinner Jake is an incoming freshman named Sinon Juan.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I've been watching some video and he's still needs to work on his offensive game.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: No question about it.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: He is not ready for the college game on offense, but Jake, this kid, has great feet for his size and is just spectacular defensively.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited to see him coming here for Purdue.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy to your point, very good defensively watching the videos that I've seen, him moving up and down the core.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: He looks very, very fluid, looks like somebody who is like a normal size, running buddies.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: Seven, two, seven, three, somewhere around there.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's very, very well-for-asized.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited to see how he can develop here in the Purdue system.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, he's one of five incoming freshmen from what I've seen Jake and I'm not an exactly a talent evaluator, but I think three of them could make immediate impact, I think Juan and Luke Earl for sure and I think Jacob Weber is a shooter could definitely come in and play right away.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Little about Juan, let me talk about Luke Rirtle, of course, gonna be Mr. Basketball, just won the state championship.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think everyone listed in this as seen him.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think anyone's gonna be surprised by that, by my evaluation, but I've heard a lot of comparisons to Prayton Smith, and I'm just not seeing it.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think it's a, it's a little too easy to make that comparison, both kind of, to me have the same demeanor on the core, like that, both very, very fierce competitors.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: and both a little smaller.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it's a little, a little too easy to make that comparison.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think Luke Earl is definitely more of a more of a score for sure.
• 8:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I think he is the right type of guy that pretty wants very fierce competitor, you know, loves to, you know, he's losing more than he loves winning.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: And a guy who will be completely bought into Matt Painter in a system.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: So kind of an under recruited guy, kind of like Brandon Smith was,
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: There are, you know, kind of some comparisons there, but play saw wise.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think they are, they are different.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Our friend, Michelle Garmin, the Titian Tribunal would call it a sports editor who introduced us, Jake and paired him to Damon Bailey, and I thought that was interesting.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jimmy, please, I don't know a lot about Damon Bailey's game.
• 8:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know that I know the name, but I go the legend, but yeah.
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: great player and i thought that was a really interesting comparison if he they can get a Damon Bailey type career out of him that would be fantastic and i think Jacob Weber is such a smooth shooter he might play right away i'm telling you it's one of the smoothest strokes i've seen and i don't know if you know his father is a shooting coach so that's probably not a surprise that's awesome
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, you can never have enough shooters and ease one of those guys that we're talking about.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's highly ranked that kind of stayed away from, but what we've seen pretty good with this recent success.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Start to go after guys kind of like that.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Another guy coming up here on the Leave Classic 2027.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think the results in, so it's gonna be a really good.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: two-way guard, believe he's ranked the top handful of guards in the class of 2027.
• 9:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Purdue is pretty high on his last year, so if Purdue could get a guy like that, sure, you know, showing Jonah other kids of that caliber that they can get guys like that, it could be a little more enticing for them to come to Purdue too.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just looked him up here on on two four seven,
• 10:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Their composite means they have him a team to nationally, which is 14 to best player in the nation, for best point guard.
• 10:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy that has been pretty high in particular, produced and pretty high on him.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully, he can be a guy like that, and I think he would fit in really well with some of these pieces that are coming in here in the class of 2026.
• 10:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Where is he from?
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is from Houston, Texas.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: Another guy who wasn't necessarily highly rated, but another guy not too far from Houston, Carson Edwards.
• 10:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's right.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's right.
• 10:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So their jayton sound drip is going to be on a mission.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he's actually a 20, 28 recruit.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: The other guy is Rivers Knights from La Lumeira, like Jacob Weber, Jacob Weber from Nebraska, Rivers Knight from Durham, North Carolina.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he is a power forward who can shoot.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's more of a project, maybe a red shirt candidate, but I've been wrong about these things before.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would thank you would be a red shirt candidate.
• 11:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy who in high school had kind of a bad the injury and his recruitment kind of fell off.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think this is kind of a bio-low spot for Purdue being able to get a guy that before the injury was pretty, it definitely had to potential to be a really good player.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I felt like they kind of played the same way a little bit.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think you would
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, don't want to call it non-amac, red shirt, but I think it could be very likely for him to red shirt kind of get his body a little more acclimated and you're ready for the college game.
• 11:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: We'll also have guys like Relay Burjus back as well, not really much of a need at the four in my opinion, so be able to red shirt a guy like him.
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think he's good enough to play, but it may be a kind of an Antoine West decision, you know, with him or we're coming into this season, you know, Antoine West, a lot of places probably could have played and played, you know, good minutes, but you know, I think it makes more sense of long-term, maybe to red shirt and I'm in Matt Painter always, so the decision up to the player, so maybe a red shirt, you know, for him,
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: if we get enough to play, especially if Purdue can't get somebody out of the poor or we're at the five position, but I hopefully do, because they need somebody to fill us for clubs position, because it doesn't sound like he's going to be coming back.
• 12:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: And once offense definitely needs a year of seasoning.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: No question about it.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not a lot to his game offensively, but man, his feet are so good that he can develop that game and nobody's better than Brandon Brantley and Matt Painter doing that.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of the transfer portal here, a center from St. Mary's, who I believe produced, kind of been linked to Drew McKiever, he's from St. Mary's, 7273, depending where you look, center average 8.2 points a game, 9.2 rebounds, and in 23 minutes, some other names have been kind of linked there.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Arizona State, which I believe that's where it's coach lunch.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: So you may you may follow as coach at St. Mary's, but Cincinnati, Iowa, or Kent Ole Miss, Purdue, and you come in and Michigan also sounds like they're in the mix.
• 13:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I certainly be some competition there, but from what I've read, pretty much a beast on the glass, not much of an offensive threat, but there's certainly a rebounding void on this team with Oscar Coff, and I'm sure it'd be in that size.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Naturally, are a deterrent at the ram and a good shop blocker, but having having three seven footers on the team That's uh, seems like it'd be pretty pretty per new ask.
• 14:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, yes to us to have have that many Be interesting to see what Jacob's and does in the off season because he needs work as well Yes, he does.
• 14:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he he definitely cannot be you know a really good player on both sides of the ball
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think his sheet are here.
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: He could be a pretty special.
• 14:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, Jake, we're going to talk about some Purdue football here in just a second, but also want to talk about the Purdue women's program lost seven players immediately to the transfer.
• 14:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Actually, eight players don and like the men's team.
• 14:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Purdue Women will be starting from scratch, of course, Madison Latins, they also lost a graduation.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So McKinna Latin is about all that's left.
• 15:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Really said to see year for the Women's Team, they were 13 and 17 last year, a finished 14 conference.
• 15:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: key geologist is not worked out and I think at some point you kind of have to move on from her doesn't seem like anything that she's been able to do has been working, which sucks to see because she's from what I understand it, you know, a great player.
• 15:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm right.
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: A great coach at Mary and too, so sucks to see it didn't work out, but I don't know if produce kind of just not what I'm spending money to buy her out or what, but the Purdue Women's
• 15:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you allow a legend another year of grace.
• 15:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm fine with that.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, Jake, the Purdue Spring Showcase is Saturday and Spring Football Practices are underway west of the latest with the Boiler Micro Football Team.
• 16:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: Kind of some key themes here through the first 12 or so.
• 16:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: Spring Practices in this team looks tougher.
• 16:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Looks more physical.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: and more explosive, those are all things that last year, we had kind of talked about this team.
• 16:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was really lacking the staff and players consistently appointed to being better, having better play at the land scrimmage more competition across the roster.
• 16:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that is due to increased depth from the portal in the freshman.
• 16:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, Barry Adams first year probably didn't go exactly how he had wanted, but this Senate's program is starting to look like what he wants, not from a structural standpoint anyway.
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's gotten better.
• 16:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're starting to see Purdue on top 100 players as a potential, you know, guys probably aren't going to Purdue, but showing up on their list, we're seeing some positive signs.
• 16:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: absolutely and we may have talked about this at one of our pre-reports back around the football season, but whenever you are winning naturally, people are willing to take pay cuts to go and join a team that they know is going to win.
• 17:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, when you're a team like Perlue, who has had a...
• 17:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: bad history here as a way of not winning, you can have to pay more for some of these really good recruits at guys at the transfer portal.
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, hopefully they've done their due diligence on the back end and can find some diamonds on the rough and can start winning some games from an offensive standpoint here.
• 17:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, this is Ryan Brown's offense, Purdue did not bring in anybody in the quarterback room that's really compete with him.
• 17:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: He has added 13 more pounds.
• 17:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's up from 205 up to 2018.
• 17:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's looked more confident in the pocket throw in the ball, throw in more velocity.
• 17:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's fully practicing after his dislocated shoulder last year, he didn't have any surgery there.
• 17:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: Evan's true, but who is a transfer last year.
• 17:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's been pretty inconsistent, been emeritus has been a Purdue for a few years now.
• 18:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: As a backup, the staff is obviously doting around, Ryan Brown rather than trying to replace him.
• 18:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: Clearly his offense, but I think one area he's going to get a lot of help in is the running
• 18:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Phamay, Ejiboy, so far, his looks like the presumptive RB1, he's a 6-foot, 2-10, and just looks built for the big team.
• 18:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, coming from Minnesota, he can have some experience there.
• 18:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's more explosive soon, and then probably what people would think, Jerk Gibson is a guy from Texas who we were pretty excited about.
• 18:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: I went pretty good guy him from the portal, he used to show him some flashes, but it is
• 18:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: but what consistent, Travis Terrell from Jackson State, he's kind of seems like an ex-factor for his probably gonna use him quite a few different positions, running back obviously, but he's a really good returner.
• 19:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's a ledgeric in the return game, it's where he shines in Jackson State, so I'm sure we'll see him.
• 19:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: And now we can't forget about Antonio Harris, who actually played pretty well last year.
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really like Antonio Harris last year for him to be third string in the spring,
• 19:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: for sure, so there are probably one of the best running backgrounds produced had in years.
• 19:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: It looks like there are multiple of really strong contributors there.
• 19:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: So place it on the offensive side that have been pretty disappointing here in the past couple of years are the wide receiver group in the tied-in group last year wide receiver group never.
• 19:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: It really had a clear alpha among the nitrotuggle yet some moments Michael Jackson the third was probably the best receiver last year for Purdue tug old friends for the South Carolina Michael Jackson graduated, so they're no longer here, but
• 19:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Purdue was able to bring in some strong talent in the transfer portal.
• 19:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Xavier Townsend, he's a transfer from Iowa State.
• 20:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: He so far looks like the most polished wide receiver.
• 20:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: The sod was seen.
• 20:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is a pretty versatile.
• 20:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: People kind of describe him as a Swiss Army knife.
• 20:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: busy Owens.
• 20:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is a transfer from pain.
• 20:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: We were pretty excited about him.
• 20:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: When he first committed, he's a non-campus yet.
• 20:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's still got to finish his stuff at Penn from an academic standpoint.
• 20:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: But there's a pretty high expectation for him from him.
• 20:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: And tonight along more set, he missed all last year, and I think even the season before that had missed some time due to an injury, but he finally is healthy and is flashing some leadership in practice, which is good to see.
• 20:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: But what is that?
• 20:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yep.
• 20:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: And finally, and the White or Silver Room would break out, can I?
• 20:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: or kind of buzzing about him at practice.
• 20:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's got a few touchdowns and the team sessions and Ray Vibeliam from the coaches and team mates.
• 20:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: So the portal I think is kind of race a floor for this wide receiver group.
• 20:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: And guys, like Brandon Kentie is a true freshman.
• 21:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'd be able to come in here and really raise the ceiling.
• 21:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think expectations are pretty high for the offense.
• 21:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: The defense I think is a lot of question marks the right.
• 21:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we talked about a little bit of go kind of play it on both sides of the ball on the offensive defensive lines have improved.
• 21:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: You've got TJ Lindy back he is recovering from his ACL injury.
• 21:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's been limited, but it's expected to be ready to go for fall in Jeffries.
• 21:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: He kind of emerged after TJ Lindy went down with the injury.
• 21:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's back and getting getting better getting more experience.
• 21:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: and then Kurt Niel and Wisdom Sims, both guys that were brought in from the transfer portal.
• 21:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: They are bringing some size inside, but kind of an extractor there.
• 21:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of offensive line is E-Lo Madosi, the transfer from Georgia.
• 21:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's got a pretty elite burst off the edge.
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: got a nice pass rush, is up signs huge in that aspect.
• 22:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think to see a real improvement on the defensive line, I think he's got a stay healthy and kind of that improvement, you know, kind of hinges on him.
• 22:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: From line back a room, Charles Correa coming back was great.
• 22:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's up to 230 pounds.
• 22:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's got a high voter, which we know from last year.
• 22:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Joe Johane is an Illinois transfer.
• 22:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: he's been solid and he's been pretty physical and it's pretty practice so far.
• 22:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: So the group is probably bigger from a size to end point, but they're not super fast.
• 22:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: Coming down the gap, they'll hit you, but the sideline speed is still kind of in question there, which turns us to the secondary.
• 22:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: emerging here at the top, after the corner backs, Don Saunders, who's a transfer, had jury hind to Uzikai, who's been here through the Ryan Wolters era, a safety spot, a jade and mangum, he's a guy who came in for Michigan to transfer this past season, and Somali Bradford, who also was part of the Walter's regime, but Don Saunders, that you taught transfer, he's a six-four corner of length, he's got really good ball skills, coaches yourself.
• 23:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mr. Clark, which we talked about, he's got a really cool name, Dean Newsson, and Justin Denson.
• 23:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: They've added some depth here for this room, and they look a lot more athletic, obviously deeper, and it got some legit upside here, so defense looks improved, offense looks improved for the most part, so hopefully, a period can come out here when it comes for more games than they did last year.
