• 2:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be ross. It's gonna be ross. So we all
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: went like, okay, well, let's start taking a peak and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: see what's in store. What was that NIT experience like
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: for you? That seemed to be enjoyable For you guys,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it was great.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we were all very very thankful
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: for Actually, first of all, I appreciate you guys for
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: having me on.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It's our pleasure, thank you.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, we were all really grateful to have an
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: opportunity to continue to play basketball at that time. I mean,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I think there's three hundred and sixty four teams and
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: only about one hundred of us were still.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Playing at that time.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: So we were thankful for that, and you know, we
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: just wanted to do everything everything we could to continue
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to keep winning and go for a championship.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you think about your last really your last month,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: four weeks. It's been kind of wild, hasn't it. I mean,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: think about it. You're playing for a championship in the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: n I T. Your coach leaves. It puts you into
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a position, Okay, what am I going to do? Ross
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: comes to West Virginia. Ross calls you and says, Jasper,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I want you to come with me, which is the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: ultimate sign of respect. You know, sometimes these coaches make
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: these moves and they go like make sure Jasper doesn't
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: have my new number, right, But instead he said, I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: want you with me. You commit you come in last
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: week a week well a week ago this past Saturday
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: with Honor UH to visit Morgantown. I mean, have you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: have you stopped it all and just kind of run
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: all that through your head. It's been a busy month.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: It has been a busy month, but you know, I'm
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: thankful for what I get to do. And you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I got a lot of faith in my Lord and
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: say reduce Christ and I used to, you know, pray
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: for a coach to have trusted me and at the
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: point guard position and especially at this high major level.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: So I mean just I had to sit back and
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: realize that's the opportunity of a lifetime for anybody. And
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I used to pray for these moments, and you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: it came true and I had to work for it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: But I had favor in my favor as well, So
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I was thankful for that opportunity. And I
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: was really happy for coach as well for getting the opportunity.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I know it was kind of hard for him for
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: his family and stuff, but I think everything happens for
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: a reason.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: So I was just thankful for the opportunity.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: We're going to get into your game and break it
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: down here in a little bit. But let's start on
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: that subject with coach Hodge. And trust is a great
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: word you used right there, because in talking to him
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: about you, that's the first thing he said, I just
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: really trust Jasper when he has the ball in his
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: hands and he's on the floor. So I think, as
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Tony said, the ultimate compliment is when the coach says
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I can trust the point guard, which we know you're
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: an extension of the coach. What is it about Coach
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Hodge that that you gravitated to? What do you like
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: best about his coaching style and how's he do it?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: You know, not a lot of.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: People would say this, but he he doesn't take things
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: for granted, and he he pushes me even when times
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be pushed for real. So I mean,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: he gets on me just about as much as anybody
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: on the team.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: And you know, in the moment sometimes I'm like, why is.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: He doing this? And blah blah blah. But so that's
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: that's the reason why you know, I continue to trust
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: him and stay with him, because you know, I know
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: he's going to push me to the best of my abilities,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: and uh, you know, I'm thankful for that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Does he push you more your conversations with him, more
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: offensive or defensive conversations.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's everything.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: It's everything, no matter what we could be warming up,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: getting ready for for I wonder you to pull ups.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You gotta do this on my head. It's everything.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: What does he say to you?
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Give us some examples of what are his go to
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: phrases or lines when he wants to get to you
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: or motivate you or get you going.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I mean there's a couple. Sometimes he just yes, yes, uh.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Sometimes he just you know, he gives me that look,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: whether it's the first media time out out of half
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: or to start the game, and sometimes like he's talking
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: to everybody, but he's looking at me, and you know,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: sometimes it's just like, uh, we gotta get you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: we gotta get gone. We gotta you know, come out
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: with the right physicality and stuff. So, I mean it's
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: a bunch of stuff that you know, just just gets
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: me clicking. And you know, we click for the most part,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: and so sometimes it's just a look that I need.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Well, as Brad said, we're going to do a deep
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: dive on your numbers. But one thing, and I think
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you would admit he did make you better or helped
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you when it comes to assist a turnover ratio this
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: past season, because and we'll get into Fairfield and things
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: like here. You spent your first season at Fairfield and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you went two hundred and twenty assists, which is an
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: absolute ton of assists, two twenty, but one fifty three
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: on the turnovers. So this past season you go down
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and basically become three to one. You go one forty
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: one to forty eight. You valued the ball much better
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: this season. How did that come about?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to hear him yelling at you.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, he put me in a situation to play
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: to my strengths.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm pretty sure after watching the film, you
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: guys know I'd like to go left. So he set
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: things up for me to make plays going left, not
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: only score, but read the defense and find my teammates
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: really easily. So, I mean, that was a big part
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: of it. And another part of it, A huge part
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: of it was I didn't play off two as much
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: coming into this past year, and he stressed that a lot,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: and I stressed that a lot in my workouts and
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: during life playing practices and stuff. So that helped me
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: big time for sure.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let's explain. So someone might have missed what
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you just said. They're playing off of two, which is
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a concept that you guys O meously you living, but
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: listeners may not be aware. Let's talk about the concept
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of playing on two, which we're talking about playing on
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: two feet. What did you learn? What did it teach you,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: how did it make you better?
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: So playing off two just means you're not going up
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: off of one leg, so you're coming to a stop
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: off of two feet either one two like left right,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: or jumping up and then stopping like jumping on to
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: two feet. And it helped me just slow the game down.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I'm able to make decisions a little bit slower and
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: read a defense a little bit better.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: And then, like a.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Lot of players that don't want to guard, once you
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: come off too, so I can even after I come
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: to a stop, I can find my teammates, or I
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: can look for opportunity to score with a shot fake
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: or pass fakes, and when I'm spinning and toiling and.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: All types of things like that. So that's what it
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: helped me.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Let's stay with your game here for a second. Tony
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: mentioned your assist right, your steel rates one of the
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: best in the country as well. Where do you think
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: you took the biggest leap forward this past year? What
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: specific part of your game do you feel got better
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: the biggest leaping improvement.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Playing a little bit lower, playing lower and being able
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: to move my feet. I've always been really active on
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: the ball since a young age, but they just taught
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: me the little nuances of the game playing lower, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: then you know, certain things like putting my feet in
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: the ground and then just little like subtle movements that
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I did not do at first that I was and
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I still got to work on that and that'll take
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: my defense to another level. But I got way better
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: at put my feet in the ground and then moving
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: my feet at the right times, and you know, talking
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: to my teammates while still moving and staying with my
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: team on defense, and you know, just just a lot
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: of those things that I didn't really think about at
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: first that they taught me.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: When you were playing as a as a youngster, when
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: did it become evident to you that you had skills
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: and who in your life helped formulate those skills early on.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: M H. I didn't really start playing basketball for real,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: for real until the eighth.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Grade, but I always like I was playing football, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I'm playing NBA and in the NFL.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize that at that time they go at
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the same time, but you know, I just always had
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: that dream of you know, just playing being a really
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: good player, basketball player. And then my dad, he actually
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: has a basketball academy for players that's just graduating high
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: school and then they're looking for opportunity to go into college.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: But they didn't have the opportunity to coming right out
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: of high school. So I mean, he's always had really
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: good players around and some of them turned pros. Some
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: of them played in G League and NBA, and some
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: of them played really high major basketball. So I've always
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: been around really good players and my dad just you know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: helped me a lot of the time. I mean, I
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: still listen to him to this day. You know, he
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: helped me formulate those skills.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Was your dad a player? Was your dad a player? Yeah?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: He played yeah?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Football wise, what position were you take a guess, well, quarterback, Yeah,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: it would have to be. Yeah, it'd have to be quarterback,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: right right.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I played a lot of quarterback, but there was I
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: had another.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Main receiver, corner corner. Yeah, you know that, the football
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: coacher Rich Rod Reagan. Yeah, Rich for corner. Yeah, so
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you could fulfill your dream maybe both of those.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, Well Ross here you say that he needs
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: a point guard too, like nobody get him distracted here
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: with football?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: How you feel about that one?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: So, so you're were you always for a point guard?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You're big, you're six three. Were you always big or
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: did you play the bigger positions, the four and the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: five when you were like eighth grade, ninth grade? Or
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: were you always the point?
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I was mainly always the point I didn't really grow
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: into like my junior year of high school.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I was in the always point guard, you know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: combo guard, and.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I was actually I wanted to play the too, because
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I wanted to score the ball and stuff.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: But I you know, by my pass and a lot.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Of my coaches they told me I would probably go
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: further in this game if I played the point guard position.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, six y three point guards they're they're hard
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to find, hard to fucking guard and can pass. Yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Let's jump in here. So let's go. You
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: don't start playing untill eighth grade. Did you do the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: whole AAU circ And for those that don't know, you're
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: from the state of Florida, you're from Niceville, Florida. Did
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you run the end the AAU circle Tampa, Florida, Tampa, Florida.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Did you do the whole AAU deal where you're traveling
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: all over the place or did you just kind of
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: stay the high school route and do that.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: So my freshman year I broke my wrists, so I
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: wasn't able to play. My sophomore year, I was getting
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: back into it, play JV and I didn't really play
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: AU my sophomore year, but like I played like a
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: little bit, like kind of like you know, with not
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: not on the main circuit. I've been a part of
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: the circuit and stuff. So I played a little bit.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: And then my junior year I played. I played AU
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: a lot, not with the main circuit as well though,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I played AAU for sure.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I traveled, I traveled around the country, and I play AU.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: But you know, when some people think of AU, they
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: think of the main A the UAA circuit, the DIDA
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: circuit that you have, yet I've never been a part
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: of that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Right, So coming out of high school, you go junior college,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you stay in your state to play walk us through.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: What were your options as a high school senior and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: how did you end up at Hillsdale.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't really have much options.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I was a good player, and I played with alongside
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: some really good players as well.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I didn't really have no options to play.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: But I always heard that if I can see to work,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: you know, to work was show and somebody told me
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: they never seen somebody be successful that doesn't that goes
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: really hard, that works really hard. So I just I
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: took that into account and just continue to work. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: didn't have that many options.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: It's wild with your journey. Tony mentioned it. So a
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: couple of years at JUCO, two different Juco's, then Fairfield,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: then North Texas and now here when how did you
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: how did you approach that? Was it just simply year
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: by year? You said you prayed a lot to get
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: to the position that you're in today. Coming to a
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: school like West Virginia, did you have it mapped out
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: or did you just go into each season saying, hey, listen,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: I'm going to give it everything I have this year,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: and then we'll see what happens at the end of
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: the year.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it everything I have this year.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: And of course, like sometimes, like after my freshman year
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: at Northwest Florida, I thought my coach was gonna stay
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: and that's why I ended up leaving Northwest Florida.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Because my coach got the head coaching job at New
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Mexico State.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: So after that year, I thought like I was like, oh, yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I'm staying there, and but I mean, yeah, I had
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: to end up transferring to a different Juko Hillberg Community
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: to college.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And you know, after that year, I.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Had to go because you can only do two years
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: at the junior college level, so that's why I had
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: to lead there and go to Fairfield. And I mean
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I thought I was gonna end up staying at Fairfield
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: as well, but I mean I wanted to play at
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: a higher level with more exposure and stuff like that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: So that's what led to the transfer to North Texas.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: So every year I just went into wanted to do
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: the best for my team that year and then seeing
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: you know what happened next after that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Did you have to look us up on the map.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Found West Virginia on the map.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Uh nah, I had, Like, like I said, my dad
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: had a couple of high high major players.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: So one of them actually played at West Virginia Morgantown.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Who's who was that?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Tavon on Myers.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's our guy. Oh yeah, he's a He's an
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: absolute delight man. You talk about putting that ball in
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the hole, he could score it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: He could score it.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Looked even crazier when I used to watch him play
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: with my dad too.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I used to think he was like like that, like
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: that you for.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Really and he and he's another guy that's gotten better after,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you know, through the years after college. What was the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Fairfield experience for you? Like, you go from Florida, you
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: get to Connecticut thirty seven games, you started thirty five?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: What was that like?
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: It was really cold up there?
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Same winners as Tampa, same winners as Tampa, nowhere.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: And deer and Uh, I mean I've didn't you know,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Cleveland when I was younger. My mom was from Cleveland,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: so people stay up there in Cleveland. And then my
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: pops is from New York, So I mean I've been
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: up there, but I've never had to stay there for.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Going through winners and stuff.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: So that was that was pretty brutal, but I ended
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: up getting pretty used to it.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And the people there are just great.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: They loved me and they love to support us in
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the team. And you know, the staff and the administration,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: they were really great, and.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: They just wanted to do every one thing about them.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: They wanted to do everything they could to help their
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: their student athletes be successful, not only on the field
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: or on the court, but off the court and off
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the field. And their alumni still to this day, I
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: still talk to some of their alumni and stuff. So
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: the people in the supportment over there was really great.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Well that's great, and you had a really good fresh
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: really good freshman season twelve points, five assists per game
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and three steals. So that season comes to an end
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: and you put yourself into the portal. Had you did
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you have any idea where or where you wanted to go?
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Did you have any goals at that time when you
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: went in after the fair first season, after fair Field season.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't have an idea of where I
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: wanted to go. I just wanted to I knew the
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: MAC wasn't that high of a level. I mean, it
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: was a good it's a good conference, but it wasn't
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: as high as as a level that I wanted to
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: play at.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: And so really that's what I was looking for.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of guys or people say that
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: I transfer for the money and stuff like that, but
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I just really wanted to exposure and play at a
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: higher level. And you know, I was, like I said
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: off the air, I was looking to find somewhere that
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: can help me for the next level of my professional career,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: not knowing I was going to get another year and correctly,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: so that's what it was.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, So the AAC was a nice step. Now
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: you're getting ready to take a big step into the
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: big twelve. When Coach Hodge called you, what was the
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: what was the pitch to get Jasper here to West Virginia.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: What he lead with?
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Uh, he just said, let's go.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: We're going, let's go.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Really, it wasn't a call. It was in person
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: while we was getting ready to head to Indiana. We're
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: going on like, yeah.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I want you to come with me, and you know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: we'll talk about everything else.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: But that's what it is. And it was a brief
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: face quit a minute that's all it was.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: And then we was just like, let's get back focused
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: to try to win the championship.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: So did he say then to Orion's coming to.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Uh, he didn't.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: He didn't tell me anything about that, but I mean,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: me and Below and I were we were kind of
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: talking together, and you know, we wanted to make that
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: thing happen.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: So all right, just see what can you tell us
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: about him he's coming to?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Uh, really good person. Obviously, he's a great player,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: great athlete. But I mean, and I think the reason
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: why him and I clicked so much is because off
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: the court, we hang out together and I kick his
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: button in two K a lot of the time.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: He's not gonna like that one.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, we get together really well off
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: the court, whether it's hanging out or on the game,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: or you know, just sitting and chilling watching film and stuff.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: So that's that's, Uh, that's what I like about him.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: And he works he works out hard on the court,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: and he brings a certain amount of energy on the
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: court that you need to be a really successful team,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: and you know it shows from his play and stuff.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So yeah, So you've played with several four several different
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: coaches over the years. Obviously you've seen your dad teach
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the game, your high school coaches, your college coaches, and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you get to this dude name Ross Hog, and so
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: like what makes him what makes him where he is?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Because you guys were top two three in the country
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: in total defense this year. That's kind of his deal.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: That's what he does. You guys won twenty seven games.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: From a from a player's perspective, Why does he have success?
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: He worked really hard and he doesn't allow nobody to
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: get too comfortable. So and then another thing, another big thing,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: this is a huge thing. He a lot of coaches,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Like some coaches I know, they don't allow other people
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: to have their input on everything.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: They want to control a lot of things.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: And he allows everybody to even players on some of
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: the game, scouts and stuff. He would ask us certain things.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: So he allows everybody to have input. But it's got
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: to make sense, though, Like he's going to tell this team,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: he's got to make sense. If there's something that you
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: think that that can help the team, you can bring
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: it to him, but it's got to make sense.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, he invites the help. You can't do
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: it on your own.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: And he understands that he's a follow up Christ, and
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: he trusts his work.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: He allows everybody to work, and he trusts his work.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: He works hard, and he just wants to continue to
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: get better.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: You can't.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: You can't just go to him and say, if I
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: shoot more, will be more successful?
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: You can look at you crazy.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Is he the first coach that you've played for that
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: makes you do push ups? If you curse in practice?
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Yes for sure? Yes, how that I mean.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: How that goes? Was there some adjustment for your for
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: your teammates around you there in the course of that.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I would guess that the amount of cursing like went
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: like down as the season went on. Is that fair?
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: It did? It did go down? It went down.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: And then you know, for me, especially when I'm playing,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: sometimes I just got to stay it underneath my breast
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: so here.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Sometimes.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Sometimes How often how often is he going down doing
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: his own push ups? Uh?
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: He is going down and doing them, but sometimes he'll
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: be like, I'm gonna do it later.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: You got to remind him, your coach, you got.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Help. Yeah, I get it. I completely completely understand that.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Let's talk more about your specific game. Last year, nearly
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: sixty percent of your shots either came at the rim
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: or in the lane. So you're a guy you like
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: to get downhill, right, get downhill, try and score it,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: then spray it if you need to. Is that the
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: main thing?
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I mean a big thing for me. I
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: need and you.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Know, I've been working on it since I've been home,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to continue to work on it.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I look to pass a little bit too much,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: and you know, the word was going around that I'm
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: passed first and stuff like that.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: So teams weren't really guarding me as you know, as
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: to score the ball, and it was kind of hurting
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: us as a team. So yeah, I need to This
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: is the mindset I need to have is look to
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: the score and then if I don't have anything but
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: to dis it out.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: What you did that down the stretch though six of
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: your last seven games, you're a double figure. So you
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: you figured that out quick, right?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I wanted to. I wanted to do
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: whatever I could to help our team win. And I
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: mean that's that I had to switch that mindset for
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: sure to help us, help us get through that stretched games.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: You're one of the few guys that has had to
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: be told to shoot more of the time. It's like
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: you might want to start distributing that thing a little bit.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: That's a good problem to have. How much, I mean
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: how much have you started to look at the Big
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: twelve and the schools in the Big Twelve and some
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of the dudes that you'll be seen in the league.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Have you started to look at it? I would imagine
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: it's like you've got a pretty cerebral approach to playing
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: this game. Have you started to sniff on what it's
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: going to be like.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I mean a little bit.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Uh, Like it's you know, it's so many moving parts
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: going around. So I mean I've seen a couple of
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: players and I don't think they understand what's about to.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Come for them.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: So there we go.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean I'm not not like.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Like, I mean, I respect everybody for sure, but it's
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: like it's almost like they gotta they gotta go through us.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're not We're not fearing nobody.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I seen I've seen a couple of players
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: and you know, big time recruit at b y U
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: and Kanas had some really good recruits coming in and yeah,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: so I mean, yeah, I took it I've taken a
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: look for sure.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, trust me, we night in and
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: night out in this league. It's it's for real. It's
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: big boy, it's big boy basketball. You'll certainly look forward
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to that. Let's go back to defense, as you well know,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: to be a really good team defense, everyone and I
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: mean everyone has to be fully locked in and do it.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: What do you think Ross and his staff do to
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: have really good defensive teams? What have you noticed because
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you've played a lot of basketball, like what made the difference?
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: They preach it.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: You know, some coaches they have their different philosophies and
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: they you know, they want to score about more and
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: then defense we just like maintain it. But defense is
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: preached every single day, every single game, and we they
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: don't care about the offense. We just want to concede
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: to get stops and lock into the player personnel and
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: then what the other team's run as far as set,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: as far as sets and things like that. So they
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: preach it and we work on it. We do individual
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: things for defense, and then we do a lot of
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: team things for defense. And it's it's player by player
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: basis and team by team basis. We have our we
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: have our fundamentals, but if we got to adjust to
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: some teams, you can't do the same thing that worked
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: on one team that won't work that won't work on
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: another team. So that's that's the main points right there.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: You made your visit to w v U and you
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: came in on your trip with Honor hof which is
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a nice kind of a combination, right dude led the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: nation and three point shooting. You're a guy that likes
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: to dish it. That seems pretty good. When you got here,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: what was it like compared to what you thought it
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: was going to be.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Like, I mean, you you would think.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: That you want to have an imagination about a certain place,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: but like, I didn't really have no expectation expectations going
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: to Morgantown.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I knew it was a college town.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I knew it was up in the outs, and it
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: wasn't really like, you know, a major city as well.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: It's not a major city. But yeah, I didn't really
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: have no expectations. But it's a I love the scenery,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Like I loved the scenery of mountains and stuff, and
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's a little bit nicer than than
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: you know, what one would think about Morgantown. But yeah,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: as far as expectations and stuff, I didn't, you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I didn't. I'm here to you know, play basketball and
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: and put on an exciting show for the fans there.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: So I'm not really too much worried about that.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: You know, that kick kicks it on our huff for
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: the three. Those are nice assists. You can rack up
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: some assists doing that. You know, that'll help your numbers, right,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: just a little kick over there, drop the three?
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I need about four to five.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: We'll take that. We'll sign up for that. Right now.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: You walked into the coliseum where you're going to be playing.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: You went into the basketball practice facility. You're shaking your head.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: What you're like, beautiful facilities, beautiful it's crazy.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: And I didn't realize, like from the outside the college,
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: the coliseum, Wait.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Is that what it's called.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Right, coliseum.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: It doesn't look like it looks outdated and kind of
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: old and stuff, and I kind of like that look.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: But when you go out inside, it's more updated and
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: it's a really nice arena and a lot of fans.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: They said it's packed out pretty much every night.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's a beautiful that's something really good to hear.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it's definitely big.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: It's well, it's gonna be. It was built nineteen seventy,

  Speaker 1: Oh? Very nice, very nice.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: You got a ball in his hand yet?
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: No, really, I tried to.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: I try to put a basketball and a football in
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: his hand, and then I was throwing it back and
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: forth to him, and he started throwing it back and
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: now a lot of the things he picks up.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I had to stop. I had to stop.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Understand, Yeah, you wanted to practice, You're gonna have to
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: live with something. That's part of the deal.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I get it. I get it. We talked
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: earlier about digging down on the numbers, Brad and some
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: of the things. You know, we've been there's so many
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: different sites out there that they could put in lineups
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: like and they've done that. Put you in, put on
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: or in, put Brennan in. What let mean? I'll ask
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: you a third party question here. What do you think
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: you what do you think style of play will look.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Like, Well, put some notes down before we started. How
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: about this for your prototypical point guard, first and foremost,
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: can shoot it at the free throw line. Nearly eighty
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: percent from the free throw line. Really good. You talk
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: assist rate, he mentioned you got a distribute top five
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: nationally last year in assist rate. Pretty good. You'll take
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: that steal rate top twelve percent nationally in steel rates.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: So you got Now you've got a point guard that
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: can guard and pressure the ball. In a coaches system
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: that wants to emphasize defense, you got a point guard
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: that will distribute the ball. You got a point guard
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: who's got the ball in his hands late in the game.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: If he gets Faul can go to the line and
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: make eighty percent. And we just talked about six of
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: his final seven games scoring in double figure. So it's
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: a guy that can score as well. So really brings
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: everything to the table, Jasper, I think a bonus that
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: you bring in with your size and ability. You can
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: rebound as well. Right, that's another part of the game
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: that normally we don't associate with point guards. But you
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: can go get it off the glass as well.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I kind of went away from it. A
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: little bit throughout the middle stretch of the season. But
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: I mean Coz always said it, He's stressed it before
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: every game. We play a little bit better when I
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: rebound the ball really well. And historically throughout my career,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: I've rebounded really well, so I had to get back
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: to that.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so that I mean that that's a bonus, right,
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: the rebounding parts of bonus. But everything else. If I
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: was telling you to build a point guard, check those
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: boxes and then the final pieces what I opened with
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: with Jasper. When you talk to Ross about him, that's
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: the first thing he says, I really trust Jasper as
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: my point guard. Well, that that checks every box that
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: you want in your point guard.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Gotta have, right, Yeah, if you can't trust your point guard,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: then you got you got situations, you got you got
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: a problem. Uh, your plan, your plan to come in
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: late next month. Is that your plan be here by
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: June started June?
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeahah, yeah, for sure.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: I was just talking with Coach and just telling me
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: a little bit about the plan, and that is the
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: plan for sure.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I would imagine like he will be pushing on you
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: and Brennan as well a lot, because you guys have
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: to instill the culture, and you'll be able to take
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the other guys aside and say, Okay, this is this
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: is how we do this, this is what he means
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: by this. That'll that's a huge, huge help, I would
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: think to make it go faster.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Noah, for sure.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: I mean you would love to have, you know, a
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: little bit more guys to instill certain things and you know,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: just let them know how it's going to be. But
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's going to be two of us,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: and I think Brennan below is a really good leader,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: and I'm a really good leader, and we talk enough
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: to to help emphasize what they like and what they
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: want to see and show them how it's you know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: how things are going to be running.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: I would think Jasper too. Your background of playing at
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: two different jucos and then Fairfield in North Texas and here,
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: so this coming in, this transition thing for you is
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: nothing new. This is what you're used to, right, so
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: you're comfortable coming in in a new setting like let's go.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm blessed to have
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: the journey that I had. But yeah, I mean I've
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: always been really good of adapting to new places, new people,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: different systems, and you know, thankfully I get to stay
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: with the same coach in the same system, and it's
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: only going to help me. I know it's gonna help
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: me in. You know, they told me it's gonna help
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: me in. You know, just ready for that.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: What's the staff? And we talk about ross. What's the staff?
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Like one of these dudes, he's brought with them, be
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: like from strength and conditioning to the assistance.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Like Forte. You ever match up with Forte? You ever
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: say here, come here, I'm gonna guard you.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: You cannot guard Forte. You cannot guard Forte. I'm just
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: telling you right now. You can't hurt them.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: He doesn't want to.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Whenever he puts his shoes on, he only wants to
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: play defense.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: He don't want to play all. I always tell him.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I always tell him why we never seen you shoot?
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: He always said, just if you got YouTube, just just
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: look up YouTube.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Hey Jack, listen. If I had his career, I'd stand
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: on that too. I wouldn't put another shot up. I'd
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: say that's a great move by him. I tell you
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: go watch it. Because he could feel it. Man, he
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: could feel it.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, he could fill it. He caught. He he uh,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: he would put some nuts on fire, he would let
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: it go.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: He got us a couple of times here, Jasper, Yeah
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: he can, he can shoot it.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's for real. Uh. Jasper's visit with us
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: here on three Guys before the Game is brought to
• 37:19

  Speaker 1: It's Daniel's Men's Store. And thanks to find looking Phil
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: for giving us the opportunity to bring Jasper on. Had
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: a weird situation when we had the honor on last episode.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: We asked him I thought was a pretty simple question,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: and he h and he gave us a weird answer.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: We didn't give you weird. He'd give you a straight answer.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: It was straight. So I asked him, I said, like,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: what's your favorite food? And he said candy? And I
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: said what favorite? Yeah, candy, And then he reached into
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: his bag and he's taking out like sour patch kids
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: and like Welch's. So I'm gonna ask you, and I'm
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: hoping it's not the same answer. Favorite. Here we go.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: He just wins to my bait, what's your favorite food?
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: That's crazy because I thought I had a sweet tooth.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: I don't take you're catching Honor.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I think this is great. He's got bagging for great, great, great.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: My my favorite food is definitely if I had a
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: meal to eat every day, it would be either chicken
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: palm with broccoli or chicken alfredo with some spinach.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Ana right away too.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: He didn't hesitate, yees, so he So what's interesting is
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Honor when we finally got into food, also said Elfredo.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: He's also an Elfredo guy. But he also revealed he
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't eat meat. Pescat he's a pescatarian, so he's a
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: fish dude. So I'm you know that'll that's fine because
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: there's salmon and steak at every meal.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Well, I was gonna say two for two on the alfredo,
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: so we'll certainly have alfredo on the let's take care
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: of that. I'm with you there, Jasper, I like that too, but.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: You gotta say so when so when you do go sweet,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: what's your sweet fix?
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: It's it's too much. I mean every night, every night,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: So I don't know how it's supposed to feel about this,
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: but our my dietician back at North Texas said, I
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: probably need to stick to this.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: I eat.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I eat like two big chocolate chip cookies and ice
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: cream every night. Really, so that's probably my favorite dessert.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: I love brownies, all types of candy, South Pass Twizzlers,
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: so sour Head extremes.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Well, you see the beauty of youth hop. They just
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: he just ran Jasper just runs it right off.

  Speaker 1: I was just thinking that I just gained four pounds
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: listening to him eat anything. We how about popcorn. We
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: have our own pop corn here on the podcast. We
• 40:01

• 40:28
  Speaker 1: figure something out about so like Jasper. What could we do, like.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Like what might have to be Jasper because Honor said
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: he's not a chocolate guy and we gotta have some
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: sort of chocolate in there.
• 40:39

• 42:05
  Speaker 4: you how.

• 42:15
  Speaker 1: even see snow.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: It's gonna beautiful.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I would say that it'll get cold. I'll just tell
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: you this.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: Now, it's not like Northeast cold. It's not that bad here.

  Speaker 1: I want to tell him something that Fairfield probably didn't
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: have bad I'm gonna tell him something Fairfield probably didn't have.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Your equipment guy is Kyle down at Mountaineer Equipment Okay,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: he's going to give you gear Number one, it'll blow
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: your mind. Number two, he's going to give you a
• 42:41

  Speaker 4: It want you in the month because it'll because seventy
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: in winter.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Here's here's a deal, Jasper. The winner here is kind
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: of like, you're not exactly sure. This past January it
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: was cold as really cold for a whole month, but
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: that was unusual. So it might snow two three times
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: four times. Maybe you know significant Other than that, you're
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: playing ball, you're inside.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: You're in gyms.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: You're not going to be in his employment. He's going
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: to be at the gym. He's going to be on
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: a bus, he's going to be on a plane. Now,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I will castion you this, I will cost you this.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: We'll probably go into Iowa State this year. All bets
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: are off when you go to Iowa State. I mean
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: that we go there. Sometimes they don't bring people back
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: it just we just lose them. It's gone.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: It's beside the whole time. Don't worry about it. How
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: many shoes will you wear throughout the course of the
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: season during games? How many pairs? Probably like ten, ten
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: different pairs.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: I like to switch it up with the uniforms, and
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: then you know, once I'm not feeling one that much,
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: I'll switch it up.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: But I only wear it, Like my game shoes, I
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: only wear on for the game. I don't really wear
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: them in practice.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: So you've got a whole set of practice shoes. Yeah,
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: Like how many pairs of shoes are in the closet

  Speaker 1: our biscuit.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: Now, they haven't done that yet, okay, Eferny.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: I would think maybe the start of football season they
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: could come out with the three guys biscuit. Yeah, it
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: would be a good time. Or what we could do
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: is we could tell our listeners every time you go
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: to a Tutors, when you go to the counter, say
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: ask for the three I have the three guys biscuit.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: And then eventually the employees working the counter will tell
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: the manager and they'll go, like, people keep asking for
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: this three guy biscuit. The general managers will then contact
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sure corporate and they'll go people will people keep
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: asking for this three guys biscuit, And then eventually we'll
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: go up the ladder and let's say, all right, finally
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: give them a dog one three guys biscuit. It's a
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: great point. That's probably how you have to do it.
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: That's probably how it happens.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: So go ahead, people go out there. Besides ordering you know,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: the dotty, the peppy, the sausage, or getting the hash brown,
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to do, just say, can I have
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: the three guys biscuit? And we're going to start a
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: ground make your order yeah.
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: And then say when they say is there anything else?
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: You say, yeah, like one of those three guys biscuits.
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: So get your regular order in, make sure that's set.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. And the answer is what's on
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: in this three guys biscuit? What do you want on it?
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Exactly right? It's a mystery biscuit?
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah?

  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh okay, what else we got going? Are we doing? Conley? Yeah,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: we are.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: Well. I gave some of it there to Jasper, but
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: let's do it again. I got a couple others.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure where you were going there with the
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't know if you wanted me to pull the
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: thing during his eason.
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: We probably should have hit the music when you asked
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: me the question about it.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: But all right, fine, you've but you've got more numbers.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: I had a couple more.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: Let's just numbers.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: I'll just go right to the numbers. I like sixty three.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: I like sixty three at point. Yeah, we haven't had
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: a long guard like that in a long, long time.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Three guys before the game spreads on stats is brought
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: to us by Connley CPA group. They do provide this
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: is weird. I had a weird mix of my headset.
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: That's happening.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I look, I listened to the show last week.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: What do you what did you do? But didn't have
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: the music up high enough. But I'll just overwhelm it now.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Three guys that brought to us by what do you experienced?
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: Radio operator? Seriously, I knew that would drive him nuts.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: I knew that was old man radio. Your voice, your
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: voice to us, your voice to music is incorrect for
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: the proper mix. Stop that. I'll call the damn FCC
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: right now. You're over modulating on the audio. Happy When
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: we first started doing the show, also struggled with silence,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: like it would like just lose, very uncomfortable with silence.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Then obviously for a number of years he thought the
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: show was live and then what's the silence sends to
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: come off?
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: Now nobody knows what that is? We do, Tony, you
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: could explain, but I mean that's that's why I never mind.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Really was super quick silence sense in a radio station
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: when it's on automated mode. If there's a period of
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: time that goes on where there's just straight silence on
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: the air, something doesn't fire, it would set off a
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: sensor which would set off an alarm in our building.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: And the alarm not only would tell us in the
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: building that there was something that wasn't on the air,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: it would also notify people in Roanoke there was nothing
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: on the air. The noise was Stephening and Dale. And
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: if someone didn't run back and reset the silent sense
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: and getting the next thing on the air, which sometimes
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: people were a little like slow to get there, despite
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: the fact that their ears were bleeding. Dale Miller, our president,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: would get on general Intercom and he would take the
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: wallpaper offs, so it was not only the silence. Since
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: it was Dale like a fire department. People would just
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: be screating down the hall. Beautiful.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: That's when. That's when radio was radio gun It. Three
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: guys brought to us by Conley's CPA Group. Brad's value
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: beyond numbers and that's what they do as well, Complete
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: service public accounting consultation with your clients throughout West Virginia
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: Surrounding States forty th anniversary year going on. Right now,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: you can outsource your accounting in your business place with
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: them CFO services as well, kindly, CPA group.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: All right, hit me well again, mention some of these numbers.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: I do think profile wise, what you're getting in Jasper
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: is exactly what you're looking for. And the ability to
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: pass the basketball. And so if you think about this offense,
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: Hoby I mentioned sixty percent of his shots, nearly sixty
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: percent came at the rim or in the lane. So
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: the ability to get downhill and then kick it. And
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: that's where Honor Huff and trace an Eagle staff come in,
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: guys that can be on the perimeter and knock down shots.
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: So I'm excited to watch him. We had mentioned this
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, because again we've talked about
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: Jasper for a few weeks here, figuring he would be
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: somebody that would come with Ross and that he had
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: some eligibility left. Now how many years he has left
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: to be determined, because I don't know if eligibility is
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: a thing. I think you play here as long as
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: you want, right, I haven't confirmed that, but I think
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: that's just kind of how it works nowactly going to
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: play for nine, you can just stay for nine.
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: I think I think he could actually leave, go back
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: to Commune College, earn another year, yeah, and then come
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: back here.
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: I mentioned a couple podcasts ago there was a period
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: of time when this portal was open that evanmia dot
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: Com had had Jasper projected as the most defensive value
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: in the entire portal. So this is a guy that
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: can that can really do it at both ends. Three
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: point shooting is going to be an area that he's
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: going to continue.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: To work on.
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: But he had a couple spots last year guys from
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: three if it was the top of the key or
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: the right wing, where he was above forty two percent
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: from both of those spots. So he didn't take a
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: ton of them, but his three point percentage in shooting
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: was getting better. Evan has him projected as a thirty
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: five percent shooter this year. So I think you're getting
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: a guy that's really talented and bring brings a lot
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: to this program. And again, as I mentioned to him,
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: checks a ton of the boxes in here.
• 59:45
  Speaker 5: Good right, you know, I know it's I know it's April,
• 59:50
  Speaker 5: but you got to be pretty excited about some of
• 59:52
  Speaker 5: these guys coming in right.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's nice. It's the what intrigues me a
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: ton in this new world of bringing teams and putting
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: teams together every year is you don't know, right. We've
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: seen over the last couple of years some teams that
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: in the offseason you say, oh my gosh, they're loaded,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: and they don't meet their expectations.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: I e.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: Kansas, right a couple of years in a row now.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: And then you see some teams that aren't being given
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: the time of day right now, and they mold together
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: really really nice. Let's face it, West Virginia's team last year, Yes,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: I mean that team, that team. No one was talking
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: last year at this time that they were going to
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: win nineteen games and then get screwed out of the
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: NCAA tournament. So you just don't know. That's what's kind
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: of intriguing to me. That's why I like practice now
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: and June and then as soon as they you know,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: in July August, I like watching to kind of see
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: how the sausage is being made well.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: And I think you're two for two in terms of
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: hoppy not only just skill set from these guys, because
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: they both bring something that's really unique. But just from
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: a personality standpoint, right, these guys that both really smile,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: look to be engaged. I think you're gonna have good
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: leadership from at least those two per guys. My sense
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: is you're gonna have some others too that will come
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: in and kind of fit this mold from a personality standpoint.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, and guys that have played a lot of basketball.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: That's the key, right, That's the key, because that's the
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: thing we keep talking about. All Right, you don't necessarily
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: have a ton of power for experience, but not a
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: lot of teams do either. Right, there's a lot of
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: teams in this boat. You talk about Kansas, Tony, you
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: looked at their team last year. They went into it
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: with guys that were moving up from the mid major level.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: So I don't know that that's a huge concern. It's
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: guys that have played basketball that know what their skill
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: set is. In Laurent and Floyd, you're getting a couple
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: guys that understand this system extremely well and do what
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: this staff like. So I'm a Tony. I'm excited to
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: see where this group goes. But I think Ross has
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: put this together about as well as you can, getting
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: a late start in the job, but hitting the ground
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: running and organizing this in terms of you can very
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: clearly see who the ones are, who the guards are,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: who the front court is. You can clearly see how
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: he's put this roster together.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: The magic is putting it all together. The thing that
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: you like about Ross is that's how he's done it
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: his entire career, from the junior college ranks and now
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years. I mean, he had a
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: lot of new dudes this past season at North Texas,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: So maybe some of these coaches that have had to
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: do it the harder way in the past, it's not
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: as a much of a flipout to a guy like
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: a Bill Self, Right, Bill Self trying to put the
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: pieces together and normally does it with like super high
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: level guys, But now that's kind of not the thing,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: and you're doing it differently, and so it's kind of
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: I'm super interested in seeing what Kansas does this coming season.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: Like they can have three subpar years in a row,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: and there again it's their type of their subar is
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: a different than other than everyone else's subpar. But like,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: could you could you imagine like if they're not.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: A They have not done They have not handled the
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: portal well for a couple of seasons.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I mean, what have it again? They haven't
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: had to. Right, they were at the forefront of the
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: of the portal, the pre portal. They were really good
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: pre portal.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: But this illustrates what we always it's everybody. Baylor's been
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: about as stable as you can be in college basketball,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: with Scott Drew being there as long as he has.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: They lost everybody, literally everybody, including.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: A returning point guard that had already agreed to a
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: contract for reportedly a million dollars a year. They lost
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: him too. So everybody's going through this. Everybody's working on
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: the same challenges here. I'm excited for this group.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: One other thing for me to move on a football
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: transfer information the portal. Remember how he mentioned the road
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: to the beach is the road in is filling up?
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: Trying to back up a little bit. This is an
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: intriguing one. Got a big dude from Texas. Offensive lineman
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: from Texas, Malik Agbo now didn't play a ton last year,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: just twenty three total snaps last year, but that's a
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: big guy come in from the University of Texas six
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: y four three hundred pounds. So West Virginia continues to
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: add receivers and offensive line, which is something Richid talked
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: about areas of need and again quite frankly, at this point,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: really every position on the field is an area of need,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: but another another offensive lineman in the mix.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: That when you're done with that, that kind of segues
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: into something I want.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: To go ahead, jump in. All right, we're free flowing
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: for you?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Flowing? Is that? What do we always say? What's the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: key element brad to having a good team?
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: Good players?
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 5: And West Virginia's had a lot of good players, but
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: they're one of the judgments of the level of players.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 5: Is the NFL draft correct? It's correct top, you know,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: not not necessarily, but it's an indicator. It's certainly an indicator.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 5: Sou West Virginia had one player taken in the draft,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 5: Wye Milin went to eighty ninth, went to Jacksonville, and
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 5: you know, props to him. Excellent player. Hopefully he has
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 5: a very solid pro career. West Virginia has said forty
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: six players taken in the last twenty drafts. So what
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 5: is that two point two point something a year so
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 5: you're not you're not having a lot of NFL caliber players.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 5: So I quickly went through the entire draft, and there
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 5: were thirty players from Big twelve teams taken in the draft.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: Thirty players in NFL tree from Big twelve teams taken
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: in the draft. Colorado four, Arizona four, Iowa State four,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma State four.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a little bit of was surprising.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Kansas State three, TCU two, UCF two, Texas Tech two,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: Kansas two, West Virginia, Arizona State, Cincinnati won a piece.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: So there were thirty players overall taken according to BYUNO
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 5: official account, so just three percent of the Big Twelve
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 5: players taken in the draft were from West Virginia. Nine
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 5: teams in the Big Twelve had more players drafted, even
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: if just one. Nine teams of the Big twelve had
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 5: more players drafted than just West Virginia and Brad. I
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 5: think for the second year in a row, and maybe
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 5: going back longer, I just check two years you did
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 5: not have any skill players. Now you had some guys
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: taken free agency, and you'd like to see Garret Green
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 5: and a slot receiver in the pros or take a
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: back punch or something like that, but you're not getting
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 5: skill players of NFL caliber.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: What teams do you think had the most players taken
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: in the draft?
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 5: Wood, Ohio State surprise you, BRD fourteen, Would Georgia surprise you?
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Thirteen?
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: Wo Texas twelve, Oregon ten, Ole, Miss eight, Alabama, Florida, LSU, Miami,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 5: Michigan seven. So you know, it's an embarrassment of riches
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: for a certain level. I think for West Virginia, Tony,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: wouldn't you like to see at the skill level get
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 5: to the point where we've seen some good West Virginia
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: teams over the years, right that had but four or
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 5: five players taken, and that's when you had a good
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 5: two That's when you had a really really competitive team,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: when you had four or five guys taken and maybe
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 5: one or two were skill players.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts on all that you got it? Yeah, So
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: we'll just jump into this was supposed to be the
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: last question on textual healing today, and the question is
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: when Neil Brown took over the program, you made a
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: great case that he was at a significant disadvantage because
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: he inherited a program with only one pro on the roster.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: Did Neil leave coach Rod in a far worse situation
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: with no pros on the roster. I know Brown did
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: not have the advantage of the portal, but I would
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: argue that he left coach Rod in a very bad spot.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: And I replied to the texter, I said, it's a
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: good and fair question. The answer won't be known for
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: several years. Yes, why it was drafted. But will any
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: of the free agents make it? That's a question. Will underclassman,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: for example, Jahem White make a roster one day. You
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: actually have to wait and see as to how many
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: players were on the roster that Rod inherited. I would
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: say this, you know this already. Neither Rich or Neil
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: inherited the talent level that Rich got from Don, and
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: Stu got from Rich and Dana got from Stu. There
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: weren't that. That's not going to be the case. The
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: money is making a significant difference. The SEC had twenty
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: seven players drafted in the first two rounds. The Big
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: Twelve had thirteen. It's math and its money to your question,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: though after a very long preamble, there Rich will find
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: skill players that will be of NFL caliber. And again
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: we keep saying it. We are now awaiting the arrival
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: of the next Darius Reynad, Steve Slayton, filling all the
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: other speed dudes that Rich made money with the Pat
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: Whites of the world. That is going to be when
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: Rich has his ultimate success. I did a thing with
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: him this weekend, Q and A with him and Wren
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: and Brady came back to it again. He says, it's
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: got to be speed. He says, My whole thing is
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: based on I've got to have really fast, skilled players
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: for a bunch of simple reasons. They run by other
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: people really fast, and that, he says, until you get that,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: you know, the plays look a little bit different when
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: super fast players are running them. And so that's what
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: it's going to come down to. And at what point
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: he is right now, I don't know what he's got
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: sitting on this roster or what's going to eventually be
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: on the field in September. But ultimately, when he gets
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: that and he knows what it is that he needs,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: then you'll see the next ascension and oftentimes those guys
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: will get a good chance in the NFL.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: You know, one of the things I think this, what
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: did you you inherit as a coach is going to
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: be one of these discussions that kind of starts to
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: go by the wayside in this new era. It's almost
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: like the discussion of how many scholarships do you have left,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: how many guys you can bring in, how much eligibility
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: does you have. Those things that we've always had as
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: benchmarks are really going away because who inherits anything anymore
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: in college sports. It's a totally different discussion. Right even then,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: just when Neil came in on the last one, that
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: Coach Rod, just the sheer number of players that he
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: inherited is so vastly different from at any time in
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: this sports history. I think this is a conversation that
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: just we won't be having anymore. It's just going to
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: be accepted. You want to make a coaching change, you're
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: going to change over if not one hundred percent of
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: the roster like you have in basketball, you're going to
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: change over what's coach Rod's. I mean, they're going to
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: be somewhere in the what three quarters of the roster
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: is going to get completely turned over from what was here.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: So I think that's really a discussion that, interestingly is
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: one of those add that to the list of things
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: we're probably not going to talk a lot anymore. One
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: thing I will say it is driving me nuts about
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: the conversation about how many draft picks the Big Ten had,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: because I think we should start couching that as well.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: Michigan Ohio State are in a different class and have
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: been for a long time.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: You say you do a scrub down version, take away
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: them from Georgia.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, Purdue can't be out there banging its chest
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: about the Big Ten today. I'll due respect to Purdue,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: but you got Purdue, you got Michigan State, you got Washington,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: got USC, got UCLA, Iowa had a few, Indiana had
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 4: a few. I mean the Big Ten. A lot of
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: people taking a victory lap in the Big Ten for
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 4: two schools really driving that draft. So I just want
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: to make that point. The other thing I would I
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: would point out about that is well, it's just that.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: I'll just leave it at that.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: I'll just leave it there.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: Good three guys before the game brought to us, Bob, and.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: I will say one more thing. You just said, Arizona
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 4: State had one person drafted last year. Yes, went to
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: the College Football Playoff. So there's a Clemson didn't this
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: Just in the world changed under Clemson's feet again, Right,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: so the playing field kind of leveled. Clemson didn't have
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: its normal haul of draft picks either, made it to
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 4: the College Football Playoff. Now, I know that that's a
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: program that has had really high level success, but there
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: were some teams this year that you saw get in
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: there that weren't all Ohio State and Texas Now winning it.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: That's a whole different discussion. Right, You're gonna have to
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: have some NFL dudes to win this thing. But we've
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: seen some teams get into the College Football Playoff here
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: just this last season without having a ton of draft picks.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: So just keep that in mind as well.

• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: my buddy and I pulled in parking lot across the
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: street from the stadium. I look oversaw Rev Kev's barbecue.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Got super excited. I trapezed across the hot asphalt, got
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: there just in time to see a guy pull up
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: double park right beside Kev's trailer.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 4: I already know where this is going. I have read ahead.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: I already you know where this is going to and
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 4: you haven't even read ahead. Somebody, double park shouldn't be
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: parked there.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: Guy hops out, jumps in line, starts barking out his order.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: It's like hot, damn, this dude's hungry. I look a
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: little closer. It's Tony. Knew what I tell my buddy.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: Tony must be coming off one of his intermittent fasts,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: so we'll have to excuse his behavior. I'm not the
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: kind of guy who will stand between hangar and barbecue.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: What will you do, cheers, I'll explain it, Cheers, Tony.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: I hope you'd enjoyed it as much as I and
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: it looked as though you were going to Todd from
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: the Charleston Starbucks. So here's the deal. Like to every story,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: there's a story. Okay, go ahead. Now you could say, hell,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: wea double park. So here's the deal. All right. I
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: went to the games Thursday and Friday. Okay, I wasn't
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: going to go that Saturday because I had about one
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five bags of mulch that I had
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: to work on. All right, So I called keV and
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: I said, keV, will you make me? I think I
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: bought three quarters of a brisket and a bunch of sides.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: He said yeah.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 4: So I pull in.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: Now the baseball crowd is coming to the game. It
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: starts to get absolutely stupid busy, crazy around that area
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: near the ballpark. So I pull in, thinking I can
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: find a spot to pull in. Well, there isn't one,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: all right, So I yell out the window to keV
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: when I pull in, YO, you got my stuff? He says,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: it's all packed ready. So I turned around, pulled up
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: alongside I e the double park, ran out, gave the
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: nice young lady my card.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: She rolls it.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: He puts the barbecue in in the tens I take
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: the card. I'm gone. I didn't want to get stuck
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: in traffic, and I didn't want to get in the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: way because people are coming. That's all. That's a that's
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: a good story. So you did, in fact double park
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: side park and getting the way. Some would call it
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: double I'd call it side parking next to the table.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: Someone else had done that, and he was trying to
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: get parking lot right now. It would have been a
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: thirty five minute deal on the podcast today.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: Here's what I say. Well, we're still writing your ticket anyway.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna write it up right now. I'm just trying
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: out there the judge. I'm just out there trying to

  Speaker 1: Jay's Friday's game was the second time in school history
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: that they won a game with one hit. Last time
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: was against Duquesny years and years ago. It's a hard
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: way to win. They got the out hit in every
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: game of the series and yet swept and swept fourth
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: consecutive series in the Big Twelve. That they sweep. Is
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: that stupid or what crazy?
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: What is that? Now? Sixteen and three in the league.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, if I'm not mistaken, last time they lost a
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: league game was the opening game of the b YU series.

• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: forgot there are three outs in an inning. They had
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: situation there where ball got thrown away, thinking that was
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: the third out of the inning, and West Virginia proceeded
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: to continue down the bass path.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 4: Pitcher covering first went over. There was talking a little
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 4: bit after the out, rolled the ball back to the
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 4: mounth thought it was the end of the inning.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: It was not.
• 1:23:15
