0:04
[SPEAKER_01]: You are listening to the IU report with Grant Shouse and Mike Hutsl.
0:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Their first look at the 2026-2027 IU basketball team, their recent news, scrimmages, and expectations for this season, and it's only on the simple Indian sports report.
0:25
[SPEAKER_16]: Welcome back IU fans to another special edition of the IU report.
0:30
[SPEAKER_16]: Things are heating up.
0:31
[SPEAKER_16]: We're entering crossover season between football and basketball.
0:35
[SPEAKER_16]: We're going to start this one talking a little basketball here tonight in the end of play their first exhibition game against Butler.
0:42
[SPEAKER_16]: And even though the quality of the live stream was just got off, I'll Indiana still won the game Mike and
0:49
[SPEAKER_16]: look pretty good doing it.
0:50
[SPEAKER_16]: They, they were pretty clear in the office and they want to do a dress.
0:55
[SPEAKER_16]: A lot of issues.
0:56
[SPEAKER_16]: One of those big issues being rebounding and they certainly did a dress that they had over 50 rebounds on Sunday night at Butler.
1:04
[SPEAKER_16]: One the game 97 to 68 or 96 68 I believe.
1:09
[SPEAKER_16]: It was a really good performance from Indiana.
1:12
[SPEAKER_16]: I know Butler kind of emptied their bench in the last 10 minutes and let a lot of guys.
1:16
[SPEAKER_16]: play that normally wouldn't play, but Indiana was still able to get a lot of points up on the board and still, I think, showed a lot of good things.
1:24
[SPEAKER_12]: The Vries talked before the game on the pregame show about how this is just a game you go in.
1:28
[SPEAKER_12]: You don't have a scout.
1:30
[SPEAKER_12]: You don't really know anything about, but Lord, they're coming in first year coach, you know, Ronald Norred and brings in essentially a whole new team with him, not a lot of film on these guys, not a lot of, you know,
1:44
[SPEAKER_12]: not a lot to go around and they just kind of came in and said we're just going to show up and do what we want to do today, we're just going to do our stuff.
1:53
[SPEAKER_12]: We're not going to focus in and you could see a little bit of that in the first half.
1:56
[SPEAKER_12]: I think there's a kid from Butler LRB came in from Florida Gulf Coast and he got loose a few times in the first half and he and had built a pretty solid little lead at the beginning and then LRB just
2:10
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, they didn't have a great scouting report on the kid.
2:12
[SPEAKER_12]: He's some hardening, telling how many star kid from Florida Gulf Coast.
2:16
[SPEAKER_12]: He comes in hits like five threes in the first half.
2:18
[SPEAKER_12]: So you lose him a few times.
2:22
[SPEAKER_12]: There's some things you can wrap up on defense, but a couple of the things that I think you need in a fans have to really take out of this game and feel pretty good about one you hit on first things first is the rebounding.
2:35
[SPEAKER_12]: There were so many games last year where
2:38
[SPEAKER_12]: It felt like Indiana could almost be on a run.
2:41
[SPEAKER_12]: I could almost begin working its way back into a game.
2:45
[SPEAKER_12]: And Michigan states one that I just thought at the top of my head, they cut the lead to seven, five or something.
2:53
[SPEAKER_12]: And Michigan state misses four shots and one possession, but Indiana can't rebound.
2:57
[SPEAKER_12]: And then they end up hitting a three.
2:59
[SPEAKER_12]: And all of a sudden, it's an eight point game again.
3:02
[SPEAKER_12]: To see them get to that some of that short up is good 52 rebounds I think is what they ended up on and they're high last year in any game was we talked about it on Sunday grant 44 against Chicago state and Lyndon Wood so yeah it's an exhibition you kind of take these things with a grain of salt but you definitely wanted to see.
3:26
[SPEAKER_12]: Improvement in that area and you could see that they got more able body guys to contribute to remounting.
3:34
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, 17 offensive rebounds by the way, that is a huge, huge key there again, it just seems like they were getting beat on the boards all season last year and to go out and address that issue and get guys like.
3:47
[SPEAKER_16]: Sam that you get to glue who don't fish around thinks ever going to be able to proud this name eight in chorale another one, you know, even guys like Sam Alexis who still on the team from last year, who got eligible late Trent Sicily another big guy to he pulled down for rebounds.
4:04
[SPEAKER_16]: But Chorella them with nine rebounds as a team high.
4:09
[SPEAKER_16]: He had 10 and 9.
4:10
[SPEAKER_16]: And he had three different guy score 13 points.
4:12
[SPEAKER_16]: Darren Harris scored 13, Marcus Burton scored 13 and Sam at Yigatobloos scored 13.
4:18
[SPEAKER_16]: And first with Darren Harris here is that, Darren de Vries kind of compared him a lot to Lamar Wilkerson.
4:26
[SPEAKER_16]: and his ability to be able to put the ball in the basket.
4:30
[SPEAKER_16]: He was four for ten from the four on Sunday, three for eight from downtown.
4:35
[SPEAKER_16]: And I know he had 13 points, but still if he's getting compared to Lamar Wilkerson and and can put up those kind of numbers that Wilkerson put up last year, he's going to be a good player for them.
4:46
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, and so many times last year, Indiana just had those two guys who had to score for them to have a chance.
4:55
[SPEAKER_12]: It's like Lamar Wilkerson, who he did Yomins work.
4:58
[SPEAKER_12]: He did, he was an amazing player in his one season, Bloomington, had 40 point games for Mendez shooter.
5:05
[SPEAKER_12]: And then if I got that I expected more of from a scoring department, but Tucker de Vries
5:12
[SPEAKER_12]: The only other guy that you could consistently count on to be a double digit score.
5:16
[SPEAKER_12]: And then from there, they were so limited offensively.
5:18
[SPEAKER_12]: You didn't know who else you could count on to be that third or fourth guy who could give you buckets.
5:25
[SPEAKER_12]: Some nights you get a really weird 20 point game from Reed Bailey.
5:30
[SPEAKER_12]: Nick Dorn had about a five game stretch where he was just hitting corner three, he was playing double dribble.
5:36
[SPEAKER_12]: I remember that was crazy.
5:39
[SPEAKER_12]: in any I played well in those games, but once teams figured out that you had if Dorn puts the ball in the floor, he can't score.
5:48
[SPEAKER_12]: We all know Reed Bailey was consistency was not his strong suit.
5:55
[SPEAKER_12]: But it was, it's nice to watch this team because you feel like there's four or five options of guys who you can go to to get buckets.
6:04
[SPEAKER_12]: And this, the Butler game, Marcus Burton starts out huge.
6:08
[SPEAKER_12]: I think nine points in the first five minutes of the ball game shows that ability to put the ball in the floor and attack the basket.
6:17
[SPEAKER_12]: You talked about Harris and DeVarise says he's got the green line from 30.
6:25
[SPEAKER_12]: He says that, and I'm all for it.
6:28
[SPEAKER_12]: I haven't really had a chance to see him play, play it, comes from Duke, where he wasn't really a contributor last year.
6:33
[SPEAKER_12]: Adeneshurella, everybody thinks this kid is a first round draft pig.
6:38
[SPEAKER_12]: Potentially this year, he's got the ability to step out and hit a three.
6:43
[SPEAKER_12]: He's a good, just all around score and rebounder.
6:47
[SPEAKER_12]: And then,
6:49
[SPEAKER_12]: Simit, what do you do with a person that large?
6:52
[SPEAKER_12]: If he gets in and establishes himself down low, you're not moving him.
6:57
[SPEAKER_12]: He might move you.
7:00
[SPEAKER_12]: And they didn't have anything close to that type of post-presence last year.
7:03
[SPEAKER_12]: So to see different ways of scoring the basketball this year, not having to hit, they're still going to shoot three.
7:09
[SPEAKER_12]: It's Darren DeVries, it's what he does.
7:12
[SPEAKER_12]: But just have different options, Jaden Moostoff, really good of putting the ball on the floor and attacking the basket and getting to the foul line.
7:19
[SPEAKER_12]: If he can be it, that kind of guy.
7:22
[SPEAKER_12]: He doesn't strike me as a great shooter, but he could maybe score that way.
7:26
[SPEAKER_12]: And he just didn't have those guys last year.
7:28
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, just side miles, not that guy.
7:32
[SPEAKER_12]: Connor in right, everybody loved him, played his heart out, not that guy.
7:38
[SPEAKER_12]: So it's cool from a fan standpoint to see all new guys.
7:43
[SPEAKER_12]: I do feel like every year as an IU fan for the last 30 years.
7:48
[SPEAKER_12]: I've come in saying, this is going to be a really, really deep team.
7:51
[SPEAKER_12]: And by the end of the year, you know, they may be playing seven guys.
7:54
[SPEAKER_12]: Some, I'm guarding my optimism a little bit.
7:58
[SPEAKER_12]: And we haven't really hit on Trent Sicily.
7:59
[SPEAKER_12]: He had nine, I think, in the game on Sunday.
8:04
[SPEAKER_12]: is going to be one of those eight or nine guys that it's going to see minutes this year for this team.
8:09
[SPEAKER_12]: If he can make some sort of leap from what we saw last year where he had some flashes in the preseason, he had like a 13 point game Chicago in the Marquette game, but if he can develop any sort of consistent score off the bench, that's just another feather and
8:30
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm going to go out on a limb right now and call it, uh, I think a guy we're going to really like this year and able to probably come in off the bench and make a lot of noise is Trevor Manherts.
8:40
[SPEAKER_16]: The only had seven points on Sunday.
8:43
[SPEAKER_16]: He had eight rebounds.
8:44
[SPEAKER_16]: He led the team in the, uh, plus minus category of 20.
8:49
[SPEAKER_16]: So when he was on the floor, they were 20 points better than Butler.
8:53
[SPEAKER_16]: You know, you, you look at him as a true freshman to come in and
9:01
[SPEAKER_16]: One of my big question marks is, is the top five here.
9:04
[SPEAKER_16]: I think you kind of know who could start with Marcus Burton, Aiden Turell, Yigatoglu, Moostop, maybe, and certainly Darren Harris.
9:15
[SPEAKER_16]: But then you got guys like Manhurst, like Bryce Lindsay who's one of the best players that Bill Anova last year, Sam Alexis, who was a starter last year for this team, and was really good.
9:26
[SPEAKER_16]: And then you have guys that could come in off the bench
9:31
[SPEAKER_16]: Again, you look at it on paper at the start of the year, like you said, and it's like, man, this is a really deep team, but I don't know what it'll be like as the year goes on.
9:40
[SPEAKER_16]: If they kind of find the lineup, they like, but right now, when exhibition season in preseason, it does look like a really, really deep basketball team.
9:49
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, my, my biggest fear for this team is three things I think can really hold this team back.
9:56
[SPEAKER_12]: Absolutely zero.
9:59
[SPEAKER_12]: isn't anything daring to freeze can control and one is health Marcus burden has been hurt in his college career.
10:06
[SPEAKER_12]: He was hurt last year, noted in, you know, he's not the biggest guy.
10:10
[SPEAKER_12]: He doesn't have a huge frame.
10:11
[SPEAKER_12]: If he gets hurt, then you're down your starter at point guard.
10:18
[SPEAKER_12]: we don't like this law and order society that we live in in college basketball, same Alexis could be gone by January.
10:26
[SPEAKER_12]: We don't know, like a judge can just be like, now he's done and you lose your top backup in the front court and potentially a starter, I think maybe at some point this season in the front court.
10:39
[SPEAKER_12]: And then the third thing is a guy that's side, big people get noticed when they do things.
10:45
[SPEAKER_12]: So fouls are inevitable,
10:49
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm lucky.
10:51
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, yeah, I mean, Zach, you know, he had his own set of rules.
10:54
[SPEAKER_12]: But submit, now, so I'm play a lot in the ACC last year.
11:00
[SPEAKER_12]: I get a lot of ACC games where I live.
11:03
[SPEAKER_12]: And he has a tendency to to be whistled for fouls.
11:08
[SPEAKER_12]: And then if you're in a road game at Minnesota or something, I don't even know if they play at Minnesota.
11:14
[SPEAKER_12]: And he gets three whistles in the first seven minutes.
11:18
[SPEAKER_12]: what what can you do?
11:20
[SPEAKER_12]: And if you don't have a Lexus because we talked about a judge may decide one day he's not going to be there.
11:26
[SPEAKER_12]: The your concern is your front court depth.
11:30
[SPEAKER_12]: So those three things are still things I'd like to see iron out as the season goes on but you really can't control any of those three things.
11:39
[SPEAKER_16]: And it just means it's clemenced sokalavo time then.
11:48
[SPEAKER_16]: He got some minutes on Sunday.
11:51
[SPEAKER_16]: Everybody, I think that was the available play.
11:53
[SPEAKER_16]: I think everybody was available to my knowledge.
11:56
[SPEAKER_16]: Everybody play.
11:57
[SPEAKER_16]: They had a lot of guys in the box score.
12:00
[SPEAKER_12]: They held up on Carvalo for as a precaution.
12:03
[SPEAKER_16]: That's right.
12:04
[SPEAKER_16]: And everybody who got in scored.
12:06
[SPEAKER_16]: So you had guys like Ian Stevens who got in just in Monde and who got in, East scored, Climbing Circle of Score, Drew Snively, Prince Alexander Moody.
12:18
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm all year going to end up calling Prince Moody Alexander.
12:21
[SPEAKER_16]: I guarantee it.
12:22
[SPEAKER_16]: This will remember pay him.
12:25
[SPEAKER_16]: Pay him.
12:25
[SPEAKER_16]: All right.
12:26
[SPEAKER_16]: Pay him.
12:27
[SPEAKER_16]: All right.
12:30
[SPEAKER_16]: Indiana plays North Carolina on Sunday at Gamebridge at Exhibition after the the Colts game.
12:36
[SPEAKER_16]: So if you really want to be miserable, you'll go to the Colts game first and then maybe go to the I you game after I think I'm doing that.
12:43
[SPEAKER_16]: I think I'm pulling the double letter.
12:45
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm it already sounds miserable, but yeah, they're going to play North Carolina and hopefully again, you start to learn a lot more about this team.
12:54
[SPEAKER_12]: You got time for a colonoscopy in between games there, Grant.
12:57
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, I don't like your skills or what.
13:01
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, just the cold.
13:02
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, I'm already mad about it.
13:04
[SPEAKER_12]: Like I'm already mad about, you know, that they're, well, I mean, if you scheduled yourself for a win for the cold, Sunday is maybe the best game in the year to do it.
13:14
[SPEAKER_12]: So with Tennessee coming to town,
13:19
[SPEAKER_16]: See, I like when it's a close game.
13:21
[SPEAKER_16]: I've been to, I went to one cult's game last year.
13:23
[SPEAKER_12]: They played the Raiders.
13:24
[SPEAKER_16]: I know this is not the cult's report, but they played the Raiders, then it was a blowout and that was bored.
13:30
[SPEAKER_16]: I like it when it's entertaining, so hopefully it's entertaining.
13:35
[SPEAKER_16]: And hopefully the exhibitions entertaining with North Carolina, their game bridge.
13:39
[SPEAKER_12]: I saw, how did you guys watch a little bit of North Carolina's, they played Friday night and their exhibition opener, they played USC,
13:47
[SPEAKER_12]: There's a pretty highly regarded big ten team and first of all it's so weird to watch Carolina and Mike Malone is the head coach the nugget sky and I really don't know this North Carolina team at all the one player I recognize was the Greek kid who transferred over from Virginia Tech whose name I'm not going to pronounce I didn't recognize their roster they look like they had some good I mean it's Carolina you know they're going to be athletic
14:15
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, they're going to have some size, but it's weird because Carolina had that family and they ran kind of that same system for years and Mike Malone, he's an NBA guy.
14:27
[SPEAKER_12]: So he's coming in and it's they're one of the true great unknowns of college basketball to start this year and.
14:36
[SPEAKER_12]: It's another game where DeVries has said this week, he said, we're not scouting, we're just putting our stuff in, we're focusing on ourselves.
14:45
[SPEAKER_12]: Last year, Indiana played Baylor and that exhibition game, it gained bridge and came out with the win.
14:54
[SPEAKER_12]: It'll be interesting match up because they Caroline and the second half against USC looked like a really good basketball team.
15:00
[SPEAKER_12]: And USC has, you know, I've seen them projected as high
15:07
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, Mike Malone and I thought was one of the best NBA coaches in terms of the stats that they ran and kind of the action that they had, the way they utilized Yokech and their offensive game.
15:21
[SPEAKER_16]: He was a really good NBA coach, but if you're North Carolina, you're kind of hoping you don't fall into the, oh, let's give the NBA coach a shot here in college and see if he can see if he can turn it around.
15:35
[SPEAKER_16]: uh... we have quite literally lived through that at indiana
15:39
[SPEAKER_16]: And you see it at other places too.
15:41
[SPEAKER_16]: And you've even seen it in the NBA with college, like you've seen college coaches go coaching the NBA and it's just not the same.
15:49
[SPEAKER_16]: And you've even seen NBA coaches come coaching and college, it's not the same.
15:53
[SPEAKER_16]: Some guys are just more cut out for the pros than they are college and vice versa.
15:58
[SPEAKER_16]: So it'll be interesting to see if that's the category North Carolina will fall into.
16:03
[SPEAKER_16]: Kind of optimistic that Mike Malone will be a good coach for them.
16:07
[SPEAKER_16]: At this point, I just don't know.
16:08
[SPEAKER_16]: I think if I'm a Carolina fan, that maybe one of my big concerns.
16:13
[SPEAKER_12]: And I want to see how Adon Shro and Simit, again, I'm a Don Fish, I stay in with Don on this last name thing with him.
16:22
[SPEAKER_12]: I want to see how they match up with Carolina's interior.
16:27
[SPEAKER_12]: I think it's going to be much more evenly matched than maybe what Butler was able to put out.
16:31
[SPEAKER_12]: Butler.
16:33
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't know what to expect from them, but I don't expect the whole lot in the big East this year.
16:37
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, I think they got a good coach.
16:40
[SPEAKER_12]: Another NBA guy coming in, nor Ed, but he's a Butler alum and legend.
16:45
[SPEAKER_12]: So this will be a more even matchup in terms of like, what they'll see.
16:50
[SPEAKER_12]: consistently in the big 10 is Carolina that teams with size athleticism.
16:55
[SPEAKER_12]: So I am I am very very interested to see how they respond to this challenge this week because I think it is going to be a a stiffer test for the interior guys this week.
17:07
[SPEAKER_16]: No doubt about it and the just be Brad Stevens is at the game the other day.
17:13
[SPEAKER_12]: How do you think Butler felt knowing that their most legendary coach in their history came to watch his dream job play in their building?
17:23
[SPEAKER_12]: Boy, it's a rough go.
17:28
[SPEAKER_16]: I am a huge Brad Stevens fan.
17:33
[SPEAKER_12]: I, like, any Indiana, it cracks me up every time.
17:37
[SPEAKER_12]: And we've got plenty of experience as we know with coaching searches.
17:42
[SPEAKER_12]: Every time it opens, oh, you know, if you gotta think Brad Stevens is coming back.
17:47
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, he's not.
17:50
[SPEAKER_16]: Two names that have always been linked to the job, Brad Stevens and Steve Allford.
17:55
[SPEAKER_16]: Dusty Mae!
17:58
[SPEAKER_16]: Add his name to the list now.
18:03
[SPEAKER_12]: all the ones that got away, but not get away.
18:10
[SPEAKER_12]: Some big recruiting news yesterday granite and I'm sure you saw it, but I'm going to throw this out because this was a cool one for me personally because for the first time in the history of Indiana basketball, a kid who has dumped on my child,
18:26
[SPEAKER_12]: is going to be playing for Indiana University.
18:29
[SPEAKER_12]: Michael Moller, a six-five sophomore from Austin High School, down in the deep south here, exit 34 on I-65.
18:39
[SPEAKER_12]: Don't go too late at night because nothing's gonna be open.
18:43
[SPEAKER_12]: Commit as a sophomore to Indiana University, I have some inside info that said this has been wrapped up for weeks.
18:52
[SPEAKER_12]: This has been a secret people have been not so well kept secret around Scott County for the last few weeks.
18:59
[SPEAKER_12]: And he just went ahead and made it official.
19:02
[SPEAKER_12]: Michael Mueller, who will be one of the top kids in the class of 2029 in Indiana, goes ahead and pulls the trigger.
19:09
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't know where he's gonna right nationally.
19:11
[SPEAKER_12]: He's an athletic marvel for a kid, his size and grade level.
19:17
[SPEAKER_12]: We'll see how he develops over the next couple years,
19:21
[SPEAKER_12]: Indiana already putting people on the board for twenty twenty nine after a pretty strong effort twenty twenty seven and what they hope they piggyback with a good twenty twenty eight class.
19:34
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't know he dumped on your son.
19:36
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, yeah, seventh grade.
19:42
[SPEAKER_12]: They're not in the same class.
19:43
[SPEAKER_12]: Are they?
19:44
[SPEAKER_12]: He was a seventh grader.
19:45
[SPEAKER_12]: Avery was playing up a year.
19:47
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay.
19:48
[SPEAKER_12]: I walked into the gym and his kid from Austin
19:51
[SPEAKER_12]: just absolutely two hand slams.
19:55
[SPEAKER_12]: Avery was at the foul on, he contends, he did not get dunked on, but I was like, you were the closest guy to him, I'm sorry man.
20:04
[SPEAKER_12]: And Micah was an eighth grade.
20:05
[SPEAKER_12]: I was a game at Austin, and I know the principal there pretty well.
20:09
[SPEAKER_12]: She's a friend of mine up known for years.
20:12
[SPEAKER_12]: I was getting ready to leave after the seventh grade game and she said, you can't leave yet, and I was like, why, she goes, you have to see this.
20:19
[SPEAKER_12]: And I stayed for the first half of the eighth grade game.
20:22
[SPEAKER_12]: He three dunks in the first half of an eighth grade game.
20:25
[SPEAKER_12]: It's crazy.
20:26
[SPEAKER_12]: And he came in as a freshman all the hype led Austin to the sectional championship.
20:32
[SPEAKER_12]: Made it all the way through the regional.
20:35
[SPEAKER_12]: So there's a lot of hype to this kid.
20:37
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't think he's going to reach Romeo level.
20:40
[SPEAKER_12]: So don't think that we're going to go there.
20:42
[SPEAKER_12]: And I hope that he doesn't because I felt way too much got put on Romeo through the years.
20:47
[SPEAKER_12]: But it is cool to see a kid be from Indiana, be from Southern Indiana and just want to play for Indiana.
20:55
[SPEAKER_12]: It seems like that used to be the norm and it's been so few and far between for the year for the past few years.
21:01
[SPEAKER_12]: So it's good to get one on the board like this.
21:07
[SPEAKER_16]: That is pretty cool and often as a team, I got to see him this summer and he's a really good player.
21:13
[SPEAKER_16]: That's a nice pick up for Darren DeVries.
21:15
[SPEAKER_16]: I would have to imagine there will be some Mike Amolar Avery Hutsl matchups here in the next couple of years.
21:21
[SPEAKER_16]: Could be a regional game next year.
21:23
[SPEAKER_16]: I'll actually get a chance to see him this year.
21:25
[SPEAKER_16]: They actually play my alma mater Oak Hill in a showcase, static caramel this year.
21:31
[SPEAKER_16]: And I'm going down to cover the game that day
21:36
[SPEAKER_16]: It's in Lake December, or it's in middle December, kind of before Christmas.
21:41
[SPEAKER_16]: So I'm looking forward to seeing them.
21:43
[SPEAKER_16]: I saw them, like I said, over the summer, at Charlie Hughes play.
21:47
[SPEAKER_16]: I think it was, I think it was New Pal, maybe.
21:50
[SPEAKER_16]: I can't remember.
21:51
[SPEAKER_16]: They had a huge comeback in that game, and they were now like 17 or 18 going into the fourth quarter and he,
21:57
[SPEAKER_16]: He brought him back and they came up a little short, but that's a really good Austin teen.
22:03
[SPEAKER_16]: I've heard a lot of good things about them.
22:05
[SPEAKER_16]: That's how, oh, you could see them in the state championship this next year, all the pieces they have.
22:11
[SPEAKER_16]: So that's that's that's really good that he's going into and hopefully, and I don't want to jinx this and I don't want this to sound bad.
22:19
[SPEAKER_16]: I really hope he stays at Austin.
22:22
[SPEAKER_16]: a kid like that at Austin, I feel like, and this is no disrespect.
22:26
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't want you to think this is a bad thing here, but a kid of that caliber at Austin, when does he get lured away to a lot of mirror or an IMG or something like that?
22:38
[SPEAKER_16]: And I really hope he stays at Austin, that's really good for high school basketball, especially at a little school like Austin.
22:45
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, I mean, that's happened with Trent Sussly recently with Indiana recurred to, you know, he's a heritage host for all those years and all of a sudden, he, and that's not a knock on the kid for doing it, you can't blame him.
23:00
[SPEAKER_12]: He seems like an Austin kid, his family's southern Indiana, his mom was a basketball player at Henryville, her senior year.
23:08
[SPEAKER_12]: She also played at South Central over and.
23:11
[SPEAKER_12]: Harrison County.
23:12
[SPEAKER_12]: So his, you know, grandfather's a minister locally.
23:17
[SPEAKER_12]: So he's got roots to the area.
23:20
[SPEAKER_12]: So it would surprise people because initially it was the thought process was well, he's this good a player in why play at Austin.
23:30
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, Austin's not that far from New Albany South that far from Jeff.
23:36
[SPEAKER_12]: we can get them back and forth.
23:38
[SPEAKER_12]: And but there was no really no talk of that amongst the family.
23:42
[SPEAKER_12]: They seem like they're, they've got roots there.
23:44
[SPEAKER_12]: So hopefully somebody that fans and Indiana are gonna be able to follow for the next three years of his career and see play in big games in the state because that's a cool thing to experience as a fan as well to see guys that you know we're coming to your school and get to see them develop and play right in front of you.
24:05
[SPEAKER_12]: uh... you talked about the games at carmel that's a that's a big one awesome's good man i mean they've got we're they got some transfers coming in they may be a team that you see a game bridge sometime in march so it'll be interesting to watch i just have to go kill gold needles can take them down man we'll see they got a couple good guys themselves so we'll see i'm looking forward to it
24:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Please stay tuned for IU Head Coach Darren DeFrees, followed by IU's Marcus Burton and Aiden Cheryl from Big Game Basketball, meet you again.
24:49
[SPEAKER_14]: Indiana Hoosier's getting set for year number two under Darren D'Bries.
24:53
[SPEAKER_14]: You see the outlook ahead for Indiana pick in the middle of the conference, despite the fact they're brilliant.
25:00
[SPEAKER_14]: Unknown commodity, you've got less than 6% of the minutes back from last year, but a really highly thought of portal class for Darren D'Bries.
25:09
[SPEAKER_14]: who joins us right now at coach completely rebuilt roster.
25:12
[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, some of those numbers are crazy.
25:15
[SPEAKER_14]: What did you use from last year in terms of the experience that you had in this league being in it for the first time that helped inform some of the decisions that you made in terms of who you went after this year?
25:26
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, number one thing, you know you have to have like everybody's thought is you've got to have a great depth in the front court and have some size just from offensive rebounding defensive rebounding and what those all lead to to help you on both ends of the floor.
25:39
[SPEAKER_13]: So that was a massive priority for us as we went into this offseason to make sure you know we had great depth there at those positions and I think we're able to do that.
25:49
[SPEAKER_14]: One of the things that's interesting is, and you were somewhat in this situation last year too, truthfully, you kind of have to microwave it, right?
25:56
[SPEAKER_14]: Like you have to kind of try to build that chemistry and build it quickly and build your culture and get everyone on the same page.
26:04
[SPEAKER_14]: What did you learn from last year that, again, that it helps you, like, how do you do that as quickly as you need to?
26:10
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, and it helps.
26:11
[SPEAKER_13]: We took a trip again this summer so we got to play some games.
26:14
[SPEAKER_13]: I think it's also going to help and we haven't done that yet.
26:16
[SPEAKER_13]: We get three exhibition games now.
26:18
[SPEAKER_13]: It's two so it's one more opportunity to find something out about your team before they start going in the wind loss column.
26:24
[SPEAKER_13]: And that's, we've tried to put our guys in as many five on five situations as we could put them in front of people.
26:30
[SPEAKER_13]: Creating that's
26:32
[SPEAKER_13]: Many of the things that we can look at from a film standpoint, what situation they react to positively negatively, so we can learn more about our team, and that's always going to be an ongoing practice, progress as you go throughout the season, year down by one, and there's 10 seconds left because they're all new to those situations.
26:50
[SPEAKER_13]: So, those are the things as coaches, you try to figure out ahead of time and put yourself in as many of those situations as possible.
26:57
[SPEAKER_11]: first time three different schools you've had your son and now he's not there how different is it for you and even the culture because it's always good to have somebody there and any of your son there that can help with the culture and the brand.
27:10
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, not having him in back just from when you have a whole new roster, at least you know someone that can communicate the way we do things all those type of things.
27:20
[SPEAKER_13]: So just having someone inside the locker room and now we have a couple of returners back from this year's team and they'll do that as well.
27:27
[SPEAKER_13]: But I'm excited for his future, but I'm really excited about this team and what we have coming up for this year.
27:36
[SPEAKER_11]: big guys are important, but you also need point guys.
27:39
[SPEAKER_11]: You got a little guy coming in from from Notre Dame that could score at what is Burton bring to your team?
27:45
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, I would say don't let a size fool you.
27:48
[SPEAKER_13]: He's competitive and he's one of those
27:51
[SPEAKER_13]: guys, he scored on the highest level and he knows how to go get a basket.
27:56
[SPEAKER_13]: So I'm excited about that.
27:58
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm excited to see the growth that he's had this summer in Fall 2 and expanding kind of his game on both ends of Florida.
28:05
[SPEAKER_13]: We've really asked him to be more of an elite on ball defender and he's been working really hard at every day and giving us great effort on that end and then offensively.
28:15
[SPEAKER_13]: I think he has enough film there to you know it, he's going
28:21
[SPEAKER_14]: You alluded to this a little bit on the first question I asked you, but I'd love to ask you to elaborate on it a bit, just this size up front, I mean rebounding was an issue last year.
28:30
[SPEAKER_14]: Have you addressed that?
28:31
[SPEAKER_14]: Who are the players who've stood out in that front court?
28:34
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, really, you know, Samantha and they've been great, but being able to play both of them at the same time is something that we wanted to find size at that four spot, but that was also skilled.
28:46
[SPEAKER_13]: So we can continue to play how we play, you know, space to floor, still shoot a lot of threes, but also have, you know, that rebounding presence, shot blocking presence at multiple positions.
28:57
[SPEAKER_13]: Aden's ability to stretch the floor put the ball in the deck still gives us the opportunity to play the way we love to play But now we do it with a seven footer at both spots.
29:06
[SPEAKER_11]: Is that the biggest difference?
29:08
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, we talked a little bit off the air a physicality of the league the toughness of the league is that that is something that you've learned
29:15
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, just the overall size, you know, in physicality, you don't always have to be the biggest guy in the room to be physical and tough, you know.
29:23
[SPEAKER_13]: So we're still, you know, emphasizing that, you know, cross the board, you know, all our positions of, that's the sort of we want to be.
29:29
[SPEAKER_13]: We want to be physical, we want to be tough.
29:32
[SPEAKER_13]: To do it with some guys that have size on top of it, just naturally, you know, being a little closer to rim help, gets to get so three pounds a little bit easier.
29:39
[SPEAKER_13]: I wanted to ask you a little bit about football.
29:43
[SPEAKER_14]: kind of a role reversal, I think in the past, we asked the Indiana Football Coach about basketball, but football has just transformed here in the last couple years culminating in the national championship last year.
29:54
[SPEAKER_14]: How have you seen that capture the imagination of the campus?
29:57
[SPEAKER_14]: What's it been like?
29:58
[SPEAKER_14]: What was it like to be there during that run last year?
30:01
[SPEAKER_13]: I love it.
30:02
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm a football guy at heart.
30:04
[SPEAKER_13]: I love college football and all that comes with that.
30:08
[SPEAKER_13]: And seeing what Coach Seag is done with the Pro football program and the excitement on campus around town for any NFL ball, any in a sports.
30:17
[SPEAKER_13]: So it's fun to see, you know, awesome for us when you have recruits on campus and visits and things to walk them around campus and see that positive energy throughout campus.
30:29
[SPEAKER_13]: And you know, I'm excited about they're off to another great start and hopefully continue that.
30:32
[SPEAKER_14]: Can you make significant smile?
30:34
[SPEAKER_14]: Is that something that's within the powers of your ability?
30:37
[SPEAKER_13]: I don't know if we have that power.
30:39
[SPEAKER_14]: All right, thanks a lot, Coach, appreciate it.
30:42
[SPEAKER_14]: Derby's head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers that you've said for his second year.
30:47
[SPEAKER_14]: And it's always challenging non-conference schedule.
30:51
[SPEAKER_14]: And Arkansas Kentucky got Syracuse in there as well.
30:54
[SPEAKER_14]: Game against Missouri.
30:59
[SPEAKER_14]: the home and home with the boilers highlighting it every year for fans in the boosier state.
31:04
[SPEAKER_14]: Let's send it over to Andy and Ray Felt for more.
31:09
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, we got a little teaser preview of the two players that are joining us to our left Marcus Burton.
31:14
[SPEAKER_15]: eight inch rally you've got coming from Notre Dame and Alabama.
31:17
[SPEAKER_15]: A lot of high pride, high praise from your head coach.
31:20
[SPEAKER_15]: Let's start with you Marcus.
31:22
[SPEAKER_15]: Size doesn't matter.
31:23
[SPEAKER_15]: You can get to the rim whenever you want.
31:26
[SPEAKER_15]: How healthy are you and how ready are you for the season?
31:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, I'm 100% healthier right now.
31:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously that's something I've been working on.
31:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been working towards.
31:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been eating a lot of healthier.
31:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Just trying to maintain because I know it's a long season, but
31:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Things happen.
31:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been, I've prayed a lot, but this one of the things I want to achieve this year is just staying healthy through the whole season and just being there.
31:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And Marcus, I'm excited for you to be in the big tent for you to join in the end.
31:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been hearing about you since you're the freshman sophomore in high school and then where has always been Marcus Bergen can score the basketball.
31:59
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to put the thing in the hole, but this may be your most talented team.
32:03
[SPEAKER_00]: This may be the most talent you've been around your college career.
32:06
[SPEAKER_00]: How are you going to balance score in it?
32:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Because that's what you do, but also make it sure you get everybody involved.
32:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh man.
32:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Honestly, bro, like I'm this this year.
32:14
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm I'm mostly excited just to show everybody that I'm not just a score I'm gonna show like I can guard the best players.
32:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I can just be able I can be a point guard I can kick I can do other things like that And I feel like this season is one of the seasons that's gonna show like I can be the best version of myself honestly and I feel like I'm I'm able to do that because I have so many players on my team that can go get 20
32:35
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's just a blessing to have, like not too many people have that on their team.
32:39
[SPEAKER_03]: And for me to have that on my team, that's just something really cool.
32:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not a lot of dudes got to ate a Charlotte in the team, too.
32:45
[SPEAKER_00]: You look at your game, Ane Sherole.
32:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we just talked before we got on and watched you since high school, you've been developing game better every year.
32:52
[SPEAKER_00]: You had a great career Alabama.
32:53
[SPEAKER_00]: But now coming into Indiana, you go from the five to the four.
32:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you're going to play a kind of a smaller position in the sense, which is going to change your game and how can moving down a position
33:05
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, just just being able to play on a perimeter more for sure, um, like, uh, throughout high school, uh, I've always been able to play all everywhere, um, but here I'm, I'm able to do it the same.
33:16
[SPEAKER_10]: So, um, just having that freedom on the perimeter and playing inside, and I'll also, uh, impact in both sides of the floor, uh, being able to guard multiple positions.
33:25
[SPEAKER_15]: Marcus, you were in the state of Indiana last year at Notre Dame.
33:29
[SPEAKER_15]: You know the pressures being on that campus for football, not for men's basketball.
33:34
[SPEAKER_15]: You now come to Indiana, which suddenly has become a football school after one of the national championships, one of the greatest turnaround ever, yet there's still a men's pressure, the expectation of Indiana basketball for the Hoosiers.
33:46
[SPEAKER_15]: How have you felt that thus far in your short term?
33:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Honestly, I tell you, I don't necessarily feel like there's a lot of pressure or on our team.
33:58
[SPEAKER_03]: And I say that from just us as being on new, we're on new to this, all of the guys that we got are in the same situation kind of, I mean, we got a few guys that have been under close to degrees.
34:09
[SPEAKER_03]: They've been in the program for a while, and we got some freshmen.
34:12
[SPEAKER_03]: So obviously, the pressure isn't there, but I feel like we, the pressure is more of us
34:21
[SPEAKER_03]: The fans, so the world, the Indiana basketball is going to be here.
34:25
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to be here to compete and we're going to win a lot of games.
34:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Aiding, just kind of piggybacking off of that, because the Indiana wins our expected championship, you've been a part of a lot of winning a Alabama.
34:35
[SPEAKER_00]: You've been in the championship games.
34:36
[SPEAKER_00]: You've been to the lead age.
34:37
[SPEAKER_00]: You've been there at the end of the final four.
34:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's the thing where what is that experience that you've had?
34:42
[SPEAKER_00]: How can you bring that to Indiana into the locker room and kind of give it to your teammates?
34:46
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, definitely by leading by example, for sure.
34:49
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, like I'm, I'm a type of guy who, um, I'm not crazy loud, uh, like with the team, but, um, I like to lead by example.
34:56
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, just just bringing that winning culture and, um, the things that I've learned throughout my career, uh, I think it is going to help a long way for sure.
35:04
[SPEAKER_15]: He mentioned, uh, Coach mentioned about your trip the summer.
35:08
[SPEAKER_15]: Um, there's so many newcomers.
35:10
[SPEAKER_15]: That was critical to start to build some sort of bonding.
35:13
[SPEAKER_15]: Would you learn about your team on that trip?
35:15
[SPEAKER_10]: I've learned that there we have so many weapons for sure like we have so many guys that can score the ball at a high clip that can guard very well just just learning there there's superpowers that's what close to the breeze likes to say just learning those it was great a lot of high expectations for the Hoosiers this season in Bloomington in Men's basketball of course still undefeated in football
35:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Friends, Michael, be back sometime this weekend with their recap of Indiana Ohio State the Game of the Year in college football.
35:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Make sure you are subscribed to the film.
36:06
[SPEAKER_04]: he's older.
36:07
[SPEAKER_04]: So just having him back, he's just like a better case force.
36:12
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously he he helps us a lot.
36:14
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm being a great guy, he's a great guy to gear around.
36:16
[SPEAKER_04]: All great team me.
36:18
[SPEAKER_04]: Extremely energetic, got to audition, he's talking a lot of constantly.
36:21
[SPEAKER_04]: So I mean, it's a sub-west and I have someone like that on a team, especially with the experience he has.
36:26
[SPEAKER_04]: And then the big team is also, let's go.
36:33
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, like like Marcus said, it's great to have him here for sure.
36:38
[SPEAKER_10]: He things a lot of energy to the team and just having that veteran there.
36:43
[SPEAKER_10]: Just get motivated and us telling us what's the right thing to do.
36:48
[SPEAKER_10]: And I as experience and when and so definitely could have him on a team.
36:54
[SPEAKER_05]: Sorry, I don't know what that is, but I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm so sorry to be honest with you, I'm
37:13
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, I feel like they're improving a lot.
37:15
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, I've always because like, because shoot threes at a pretty deal level, um, just cause the breeze, uh, putting so much belief in me so much, uh, confidence in me, uh, it helps a lot for sure.
37:27
[SPEAKER_10]: And my teammates also help with that, uh, they find me, they, they, uh, like, hit me whenever I'm open and they always, like, motivate me to shoot the walk as they, they believe I'm going to make a lot of shots.
37:42
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like the biggest little size toasts is this.
37:56
[SPEAKER_04]: The Dutch listen together, this obviously, like you said, we're all new, it's a lot of new faces.
38:01
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a lot of fresh meat, a lot of new treasures.
38:04
[SPEAKER_04]: And only a few guys that came back from this thickness, we saw obviously just those two things, but honestly, just competing, having fun, there's going out in my heart every single night and the answer, I expect that it should be, but for like this, it's going to be as clear to get from us.
38:20
[UNKNOWN]: All right, that's fine.
38:22
[SPEAKER_08]: For both of you, when you're in the portal, what was it about in the end of the project?
38:26
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, for me, obviously, I'm any in the case.
38:29
[SPEAKER_04]: So being able to represent Indiana, being able to be a basketball in the big town was something that stood out to me.
38:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, Coach's reasons here.
38:39
[SPEAKER_04]: I have a lot of history with him.
38:41
[SPEAKER_04]: So it was just kind of sort of two together.
38:44
[SPEAKER_04]: And I got said, like, I want to go in and enjoy it.
38:49
[SPEAKER_04]: And now I'm back in the end, so that's kind of cool.
38:51
[SPEAKER_04]: And I said, like, I can't wait to play.
38:56
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, definitely, um, like, great relationship, I bear with the cultures for sure, um, and they, they pushed me to be the best version of myself, um, we have a great team that we assembled.
39:08
[SPEAKER_10]: And I, I hate, it's a great feeling of playing with those guys, and um, they, but he prioritized them a lot here.
39:14
[SPEAKER_10]: And so, uh, and then there's a lot to just be, be prioritizing efforts.
39:23
[SPEAKER_10]: on this superhero for sure, like cement claimants, they have helped me get better for sure, just competing these those guys every day, we make it to other better, like liking a big tent and what I definitely see, a lot of taller guys, so just getting some, a lot of reps at that helped a lot.
39:42
[SPEAKER_06]: You guys bought a plant bait to the main tent, it's a good stand sell.
39:45
[SPEAKER_06]: You're saying this is my dad's oil, you're saying this is a tent, this is a tent, and he can't get anything.
39:49
[SPEAKER_06]: What's one?
39:51
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, so things that stay not to be is obviously how fast the pace is, uh, another thing is just how competitive and how tough it is, um, uh, as far as our team, banking the jump or doing good in the mix, and I don't necessarily think we have to make a big first event like I said, we got a lot of new guys, well, a lot of guys that were assuming together and like I said, we don't go out, be thoughtful, make a benefit, and everything's quite useful.
40:18
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, you played with like many top teams.
40:21
[SPEAKER_06]: What do you think this team needs to do to me?
40:24
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, one of those top teams got worse.
40:27
[SPEAKER_10]: I think we should just continue sticking to our culture.
40:31
[SPEAKER_10]: I continue being ourselves.
40:33
[SPEAKER_10]: We're a great team and we're going to continue to jail together.
40:37
[SPEAKER_10]: So we stick to that.
40:39
[SPEAKER_10]: We're going to go through pretty good.
40:42
[SPEAKER_05]: Marcus Kurt will just send you guys out of seven guys in the roster can each get 20 points a day.
40:47
[SPEAKER_06]: How does that make your job easier as the playing card notes you have so in town?
40:52
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh man, it makes my job by easy.
40:53
[SPEAKER_04]: I was just telling you, 8 minutes more than I am.
40:55
[SPEAKER_04]: I have, I've had all the accolades I've done everything in my past colors career now, it's just more about just being the better version of ourself, it's just enjoying this time, it's kind of like having forward and like we have a lot of guys that can go get 30, like you know right here.
41:11
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's it's going to be hard for team, the that time be able to gain playing for us because like to say, we have so many players that can go out and then get 20 get 30.
41:21
[SPEAKER_04]: So
41:24
[SPEAKER_06]: Marcus, what was he at first?
41:26
[SPEAKER_06]: I like, you know, you were playing the Notre Dame for three years, under a lunch shift.
41:30
[SPEAKER_06]: What's something like?
41:31
[SPEAKER_06]: Now I do a session on this whole new table.
41:32
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know anything about that.
41:34
[SPEAKER_04]: The biggest adjustment for me was just not being hung.
41:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, I was a South big kid in Notre Dame.
41:40
[SPEAKER_04]: I was in South Bend.
41:41
[SPEAKER_04]: I was all down, but now it's just more as it's me having fun, just being with my teammates.
41:47
[SPEAKER_04]: She was like, now he's just going down.
41:49
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like I said, being the best version of myself, and helping my teammates be the best ones.
41:54
[SPEAKER_05]: That much what it means to you because it made me, like I said, one of the reason bothers me was a lot, and it gets in the end about from a nice stage.
42:02
[SPEAKER_04]: It means a lot to me, like I said, I'm on from a day and I'm being able to represent Indiana.
42:07
[SPEAKER_04]: Play basketball has a really cool team.
42:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Not too many kids get to do this, so be able to put in the end of Jersey also.
42:16
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm biased and I'm excited for the season of GameCube.
42:20
[SPEAKER_08]: You guys have been going against each other throughout the inside of preseason outside of our youth for some day to finally go against a different team.
42:26
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't, I'm so, it's on, I'm not tired of playing against this dual area day or time, we're like, but I guess they're like, it's going to be fun, it's going to be fun, the time to remember actually on each other, it's just something to do with each other.
42:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Those times we did, it's those times we get better with our team and we'll see each other, so please.
42:43
[SPEAKER_08]: Marcus, have you been able to play in real quick before?
42:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I have, I'll take your last, your, uh, exhibition now.
42:48
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll arrange it.
42:49
[SPEAKER_04]: It'd be cool just to go back, but it'd be also cool just to play it in some of your differences.
42:54
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
42:55
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
42:55
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks a lot.
42:56
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks a lot.
42:56
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks a lot.
42:57
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks a lot.
42:58
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks a lot.
42:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks a lot.
42:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks a lot.
43:05
[SPEAKER_10]: I think we're doing a pretty good position like I said, like we've been in a tough culture and in practice every day, it coaches emphasize that that's a big thing and however you get off as a rebounds it helps it gain a lot.
43:21
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, this will be one of the things that leads to the ACCCs that are on the graph, that's the thing.
43:28
[SPEAKER_05]: Four storm is from Lowe's Day.
43:31
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, I mean, I don't necessarily pay attention to most of that over here any of it.
43:35
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a lot of, I mean, coming from the ACC is just probably going to be a big difference.
43:40
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know, I don't know yet because we haven't played in the big team, but I'm excited.
43:45
[SPEAKER_04]: They see the great to me, uh, Jim.
43:54
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, not really it was it obviously was cool like just being a kid being able to play against do obviously that's that's a really cool experience and I mean, I played against the mid two years in road, but that I wouldn't have thought we'd been too base for no exams, it's not, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's
44:26
[SPEAKER_04]: Friends is he's decently a character and he's not like a lot of other freshmen I'd say like my first me honest.
44:34
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not quieted to myself.
44:36
[SPEAKER_04]: Friends is more of a light Just just loud like it's always always good to have a kill like that on your team because
44:44
[SPEAKER_04]: You never know, like, one day someday it might be a bad day.
44:47
[SPEAKER_04]: He might be able to keep making lives and just make you a little bit better.
44:50
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's always good to have somebody like the normal team, especially as a freshman.
44:55
[SPEAKER_04]: And as a basketball player, he's terrific.
44:58
[SPEAKER_04]: No, don't really good things.
45:00
[SPEAKER_04]: And you see him, you might not think he's a freshman, he'd tell you the freshman to eat.
45:06
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, a great set of that this morning.
45:17
[SPEAKER_04]: I wouldn't necessarily say that, I feel like I'm just just kind of there, kind of just that older guys just being there.
45:23
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like I've been through the college basketball experience for two years now, so I'm just being there to open the younger guys.
45:31
[SPEAKER_04]: This cooler is cool to see, and it's also just cool to have them listen to you.
45:35
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll take words from you.
45:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
45:40
[SPEAKER_09]: Guys, I can't stand so I'm afraid you need some good basketball.
45:43
[SPEAKER_09]: What do you want that to know about this team as the season's broke?
45:47
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I didn't want them to do like, we're gonna be super tough in the Super Gritty, but we can all compete every evening day.
45:54
[SPEAKER_04]: We can't be a basketball in a lot of days.
45:59
[SPEAKER_07]: Last week when we talked to Jayden, he said that the football success makes you guys hungry, but that same level of success to you, agree with that.
46:04
[SPEAKER_07]: And what are your overall reactions being at the football team?
46:07
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
46:09
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like this is a team no good, obviously we do as a standard for us, but we're going to be pretty good, obviously they got to keep going, we got to keep on the team, so yeah, let's see if they sell that.
46:31
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, it doesn't matter the area where we just focus on the game, focus on what doing what every takes to win, so my army doesn't matter because it's just sticking to our team.
46:43
[SPEAKER_06]: It's been like great scene on a piece of coach who I'm like,
47:00
[SPEAKER_10]: Not many freshmen, I like that and just don't be in that way.
47:03
[SPEAKER_10]: It helps us a lot for sure.
47:06
[SPEAKER_10]: They've great teammates, great players, and just getting them to know them like they're going to be great players for showing it to leaders.
47:14
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what I'm saying.
47:16
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what I'm saying.
47:18
[SPEAKER_05]: What things would be good for us to do?
47:22
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm doing everything on the floor, doing whatever it takes to win.
47:32
[SPEAKER_09]: For both of you guys, there are a set of way in love to be shown that your name gives up his board to play that.
47:40
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd say for you.
47:42
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
47:44
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I'll say this is the same we all are there.
47:47
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, that's where I want to play.
47:49
[SPEAKER_10]: I look forward to seeing all the fans at our games.
47:52
[SPEAKER_10]: Do you look forward to receiving that support here?
47:58
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, you guys walked into a suddenly called the first time.
48:00
[SPEAKER_08]: What was your reaction?
48:01
[SPEAKER_08]: What's the immediate disused?
48:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, it's the most noticeable.
48:06
[SPEAKER_04]: And I walked in.
48:07
[SPEAKER_04]: I just saw a big, big jing, a lot of cases picked this sit.
48:12
[SPEAKER_04]: I wasn't used to that.
48:13
[SPEAKER_04]: So it was kind of kind of crazy, good.
48:16
[SPEAKER_04]: It was definitely, that's weird, a different environment, different, it's been type of a scenery.
48:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Now you guys, it was a lot bigger than what I picked you.
48:28
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, my free time seeing the sun.
48:30
[SPEAKER_10]: We, I was on a shot like how, how, how it book.
48:34
[SPEAKER_10]: It's, it looks amazing.
48:36
[SPEAKER_10]: And just imagine being in my head, like how it would be with lots of fans in the crowd, while it could be the, it's a great feeling.
48:45
[SPEAKER_07]: Defensively, what do you want this team's identity to be?
48:48
[SPEAKER_07]: And for you guys, how do you feel like defense can turn into offense on fast race?
48:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Just getting a lot of the fleets.
48:54
[SPEAKER_04]: That means we being tough with the ball and the hard no was it not letting anybody stronger like this.
49:03
[SPEAKER_06]: Nunes, thank you so so have you seen it in two weeks?
49:07
[SPEAKER_06]: One of the styles of the nation.
49:08
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, so what's up, guys?
49:10
[SPEAKER_10]: Obviously, that's copying me each other very well.
49:13
[SPEAKER_10]: Like submit, he plays like down low, he's very physical, and just mean him being able to kick you back off of each other, and meet, I'm able to play inside and outside.
49:25
[SPEAKER_10]: And even when we're on different teams, just like us competing against each other, we've been in that low with each other.
49:32
[SPEAKER_10]: If we definitely get copying each other very well.
49:37
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, definitely Anthony Davis is a big one just how much he impacts both ends at a floor he's very defensively and also cancel the he's able to play in all three levels he's three level score.
49:54
[SPEAKER_10]: That's a big one I watch for sure.
49:56
[SPEAKER_05]: This is one of the things.
49:58
[SPEAKER_05]: As of now, it's all clear to me, because you had all of them, as you said, this is the song.
50:04
[SPEAKER_05]: It's on behalf of the family, and for all of the family, well, it makes sense for me and me and me and me.
50:11
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, he gave me a blueprint of like, um, of how I, I can, how I can achieve my goals and achieve our goals as a team.
50:19
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, and it was all focused on basketball.
50:22
[SPEAKER_10]: That, that really stood out with me, uh, because like, then they, I'm, I'm here to play basketball.
50:27
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm here to, to become a better young man, uh, on and off the court.
50:32
[SPEAKER_10]: So, uh, it, the, the fact that he focused on basketball
50:39
[SPEAKER_07]: Transistly is one of the only guys from last year of turning from this year.
50:41
[SPEAKER_07]: What kind of leadership role do you feel like he's at, even though he's going to just be a sophomore this season?
50:47
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, it changed me and great.
50:49
[SPEAKER_04]: And I said, let's say, I'm like, it's all good to have somebody that's been in the program has been in the place because you've been this and knows, but he's expecting out of us.
50:57
[SPEAKER_04]: So obviously, just having him around his dad and just hitting him that he's just to bring that right meter.
51:04
[SPEAKER_04]: He works hard.
51:05
[SPEAKER_04]: They're speaking.
51:05
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
51:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, like he's just, could he kill him?
51:09
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a great best one.
51:10
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's too serious.
51:11
[SPEAKER_04]: There's always.
51:12
[SPEAKER_04]: Did they have a guy like that?
51:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Spino leaders.
51:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Who would you say are the main leaders?
51:18
[SPEAKER_04]: That's it everybody.
51:19
[SPEAKER_04]: Everybody's on either in their own ways, but I mean, we have a lot of not a lot of bistro guys, so they can build a lot of ways, but I guess they like anybody's to be a living in your day and so yeah.
51:31
[SPEAKER_08]: Price wins the cup fire in that spirit mids last week.
51:34
[SPEAKER_08]: What is it like playing with them on the floor and I guess of all, what is he like in chat?
51:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Man, play with it on the floor is great.
51:41
[SPEAKER_04]: been able to play with some money and that dynamic Yankees shoot the ball and that world is and it opens up a lot so a lot of other players and especially me.
51:50
[SPEAKER_04]: So yes, it's been great out outside the basketball.
51:54
[SPEAKER_04]: He's just nice and cool guy too.
51:57
[SPEAKER_04]: To themselves, real through the last guys.
52:10
[SPEAKER_04]: You actually have that at night, so the one night is not a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place
52:37
[SPEAKER_04]: be good and win, win against my teammates of my team.
52:40
[SPEAKER_04]: So, I made a lot of, this is the side that I'm like, I'm worked on over the years, yes.
52:51
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's mentioned that you are working on your defense, especially one wall, the English and part guard in the big tent, and in the air where the league guards know, what is something that you can use here?
53:01
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, which means great.
53:03
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, for me, is this just about goodness, I feel like my goodness can be the last two hours on this month's obviously this is going to be a year for me as a, as a decent
53:16
[SPEAKER_04]: not necessarily seeing the bubbles in the fifth of the center, but just shown that I could have seen that at the higher level, they've seen better who players in the big team.
53:24
[SPEAKER_04]: So yes, we can.
53:26
[SPEAKER_07]: For either of you, has anything stood out from a daring to freeze practice and has anything surprised you about the way he runs his program since you guys arrived?
53:33
[SPEAKER_10]: I would say like a lot of details for sure.
53:37
[SPEAKER_10]: He's big on details.
53:39
[SPEAKER_10]: Just focus on what we need to get better.
53:44
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, oh, he net, he net picks everything like it's trying to pinpoint and just improve on everything so I'll say your significance is on details.
53:56
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to ask you a little bit to raise my credit sum.
53:59
[SPEAKER_05]: There's no score.
54:00
[SPEAKER_06]: He goes in for that.
54:01
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
54:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I remember a lot.
54:04
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, not many people know, but a lot of people know, he was my first thing more off-road license or so.
54:10
[SPEAKER_04]: Just being able to kind of come back for some type of moment was with little bit for me.
54:16
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I said, all of that in the end, it didn't all make sense.
54:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I believe it's just like I prayed.
54:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Great.
54:23
[SPEAKER_04]: Just as you
54:34
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, super excited, uh, like I said, like they're feeling, um, uh, like I'm imagining, like again, and it's simply all with fans supporting us, uh, I just just, I just know it's going to be a great feeling when I'm just just subsided and get me real.
54:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Of me, it's just been able to go on and continue in front of our fans.
54:55
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, they don't love us.
54:57
[SPEAKER_04]: If much is we love them.
54:58
[SPEAKER_04]: So just giving them something that you're about and going to gain from them is going to be big for us.
55:03
[SPEAKER_04]: Just going on continue in front of me every day is going to be amazing.
55:07
[SPEAKER_06]: Guys, some of them, some have time for a while now.
55:09
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you have any like soldiers to do these things to be refined?
55:16
[SPEAKER_04]: Nah, I kind of just stay a whole completely of one day.
55:19
[SPEAKER_10]: That's pretty nice to say.
55:22
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't go outside, just let me do your name.
55:26
[SPEAKER_06]: It's free, they're what do you want to order?
55:28
[SPEAKER_06]: Some of the differences you've seen on the team are from them.
55:30
[SPEAKER_06]: When you guys first got together in June, that is the most important thing.
55:34
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, no.
55:36
[SPEAKER_04]: We're a lot more tough with it, but we captured ourselves when we first got here and I say that because it was more of it just getting comfortable with me.
55:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Everybody getting to know each other, but once I feel like we got to know each other and then I can.
55:51
[SPEAKER_04]: But I came to light.
56:01
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I would say we're dealing together a lot now, like we have so many weapons I team and just us, it's utilizing each of our weapons, it has been great for sure.
56:16
[SPEAKER_07]: Was there a specific moment where you guys felt like you really jell together any any point in the off season and the Peru trip included?
56:26
[SPEAKER_04]: So like every day is just, every day is a new, a new look that how we look every single day.
56:32
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's the like, since the first day we got here in the summer, until now is just like, this has been a completely different team.
56:40
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just excited just to be able to put out what we've been working on and just all I'm competing for everybody.
56:46
[SPEAKER_04]: I've got to know this.
56:47
[SPEAKER_06]: This is a shame, it's a shame.
56:48
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame.
56:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, it definitely helped a lot.
56:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, the rules have come.
56:57
[SPEAKER_04]: But very far, it plays so a lot.
57:00
[SPEAKER_04]: You've got to find some way to be going through teammates.
57:02
[SPEAKER_04]: So obviously, that was a good time for us to do it.
57:04
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just being able to be in the room.
57:07
[SPEAKER_04]: We compete with these those different types of teams.
57:09
[SPEAKER_04]: And vote to a little bit of adversity.
57:11
[SPEAKER_04]: It was kind of cool.
57:12
[SPEAKER_04]: And after both of the times that we needed, obviously, due to us being on new transfer of fresh equipment, it's new yet.
57:30
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, yeah, I think it is a benefit to the best world burnout because, um, like, there's a, there's a lot of fans supporting.
57:37
[SPEAKER_10]: So, they support like all the sports.
57:40
[SPEAKER_10]: So, yeah, definitely they just have been a food worse.
57:43
[SPEAKER_06]: There's a better point.
57:51
[SPEAKER_04]: What have stood out to you about Darren, Jayden and Bryce, as, you know, first of the wings who can slash can shoot, and could do it all in that way.
57:58
[SPEAKER_04]: What have stood out to you about Darren, Jayden and Bryce, as, you know, first of the wings who can slash can shoot, and could do it all in that way?
58:19
[SPEAKER_04]: obviously in price of day, if you're really sure, we'll shoot the wall.
58:23
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, Jane, there's no way I've said it, but yeah, they all are just really good good guys.
58:28
[SPEAKER_04]: And when it comes to basketball and winning, like they didn't really want to win, that was a guy that she would love to have one.
58:47
[SPEAKER_04]: I say he just does a miss, you know, the miss a lot and when he does miss, it's like wow, and he did miss, and he's just, he's just a competitive man, like, this hard, it's hard to, like, pull past somebody that's competitive, and his favorite player is Kobe so like, having like, having to play like that on your team is pretty dope, they didn't talk about it.
59:10
[SPEAKER_04]: The benefit for the audience is like the same with the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the other team, the
59:37
[SPEAKER_04]: It's more bearable.
59:38
