  Speaker 1: Gentlemen, how you guys doing today.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I'm good, good, good.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: You know I love it and it breaks my heart
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: at the same time as watching you guys do so great.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: But I will say this, Cam, I've watched you play
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: probably since your sixth grade when I was watching with
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: your dad all the way through those tournaments, and I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: was saying this last night, you might be the winningest
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: player I've known in the last five years. And I'm
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: gonna give you a stat and tell me what you
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: think about this. So they looked it up. You've won
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: ninety one percent of your games from high school to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the USA all and all the way until now in
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: college basketball. And they didn't even include the eybl so
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: nine winning percentage. What does that attribute it to?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Oh man? I mean, I just think I attributes to
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: the coaching staff and the players that have been around me.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of people talk about me and
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the winning I've done, but I've been around some dogs
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: who just want to win as well, and I think
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: to win it takes a old team effort. Just like
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: this year. You know, it's big time getting Caleb and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Pat back, having all the nine other guys same thing.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: This year, we have some dogs just want to compete
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: and win. But at the end of the day, you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I think when the scale, I think it's really hard
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: to do. And yeah, I mean ninety one percent is crazy.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Hey, Caleb, it's coach Pearl. Been knowing you since your
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Hickory Ridge days. Right, Hey, listen, it's good to hear,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: good to visit with you this. You broke a foot,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: like you had surgery, that's six to eight weeks out.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: You do it in three how.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: I would just say Nick Potter to Duke's training staff,
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: obviously leaning on my brothers, Cam, everybody else, just believing
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: in that I could do it, come back, support me,
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: and then just a lot of treatment early morning is
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: late nights, just steadying in the treatment room. So it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: been it's been a long process, but I'm happy to
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: be back out there.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I said, you still get that boot on you walking
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: around with the boot.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm still on the bolting the schooter. I'll be
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: on that the rest of the season.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: My foot, When did you think you would actually be
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: able to get back at this time? When did it
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: become realistic to you that that was a possibility that
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you could play in the game. You played in last night.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: So when I got hurt rush U and c I
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: went straight and got an X ray. And then from
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: that point on, I talked to the doctor Avendola and
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: he was just saying that it's a possibility, like he
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: didn't really confirm anything. And then it's from that moment on,
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: but that's where my mind set shifted. I'm like, it's
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: not a possibility, like I'm doing this. And then since
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: that point on, I've just been head down focused and
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: everything I could do to get ready and prepare for
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: this moment.
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: Well, k Im, number one, you have been the best
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: player in college basketball all year, and all the awards
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: you were winning, uh, well earned and well deserved. But Caleb,
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: I got to give you a hard time. Number one,
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: how was your conditioning in the first half and how
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: good did you sleep last night?
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: On my condition And it surprised me a little bit
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: obviously that first that first win was it was rough.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Obviously I've been out there for two weeks, man, I
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: was tired. But when I caught the second win, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: just buying into my team, just putting the effort into them,
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: leaning on them. I mean, I was just trying to
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: do whatever take the win. So I wasn't really thinking
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: about being tired. We didn't have any time to be tired.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You know what, cay one last final thing. You know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we said ninety one percent of the age, but there's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: another person that was part of that ninety one percentage,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: your brother, you know, your twin brothers. So tell how
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: his impact and his change obviously moving in when Caleb
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: is not there and now that he's coming back.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's been a huge part of that obviously.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I think anyone who's watched us over the years and
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: seeing it, he stepped up big time for us in
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of big time games. You know, just as
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: much as I've won, he's going He's been right by
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: my side, and I think, you know, Caleer going out
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: obviously and maybe a lot of us have to step up.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I came, did it a good job stepping up. But
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: you know, I've seen him do it his whole life,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: so it wasn't surprising me. He might have surprised some people,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: but I was super proud of him. You know, I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: think he's grown a lot, his confidence has grown a lot.
• 4:11
