  Speaker 1: Last few years ACC has been right there, fsu Baseball Experience, some losses, yeah.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Gimurino.

• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Then got out to two big leads and lost both of them, but you know, it's baseball long season.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: That is so.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It is a long season, it is Puston's really good.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Sure, you can't make mistakes, you can't walk guys.

• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Big recruiting weekend, man.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I tell you what.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: The transfer portal is rumored to just absolutely explode here coming.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: April.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, the last round, yeah, wow.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you believe the internet, the craziest that it's been yet.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: You can find last minute positions to bolster your roster.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I mean you may like.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're there, if you can get a guy like an impact position.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Right, well, you may even be looking at a lot of starters from programs.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Essentially, what it comes down to is trades between unlikely teams.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's ridiculous, it's the wild, wild west.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: If you believe the internet, there's a lot of fireworks about to go off.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Well, once it opens, Now it's getting crazy.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's people on talk shows and stuff that I'm not going to say any names, but you know fans of white t-shirts Bald like me, do your own math, oh yeah, well, let's get into it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: What do you want to start with?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Start with the sweet 16.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: All right, yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Keep the painful stuff for later.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Right, I think it was a fun it was.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You know you had a lot of chalk.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: A lot of chalk.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: What did you think of it?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I think it's funny to me when the country says a lot of chalk, man, a lot of you know it means certain teams won in advance and it's usually Duke or North Carolina, you know.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I'm sure watching Yukon Cruz piss people off.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Per do man doing a lot better than you and I both expected.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: They wanted to see a one seed go down.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: That Houston Texas A&M game was crazy.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It was the, you know, a really good good ending to the night of an otherwise lackluster day, comparatively speaking to the rest of the weekend.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I thought there was fireworks man.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: You got the NC State is now you're.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: You're right, yeah, Because Oakland and the history teacher took down Kentucky, you know, knocked him out first round, the N3s.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Um, nc State, Dude, they're going to be tough.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Man, it's going to be tough Like the ACC is.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Finally, you're right, it's getting vindicated for teams that aren't just Duke and North Carolina.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I'm losing it over here knocking stuff around.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but no NC State, yeah.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: When I first saw big.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: What's the big man?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Dj Burns, Big DJ.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: He's a Debo and everybody and you first saw him and he's like, wow, I mean, if he gets it together.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: No, he reminds me of all the basketball court when we were little.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, tommy, yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Just the skills that he has, that you don't expect a big man to have.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Well, he's the passing ability, the quick feet.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, you start working around that it's lethal and they they're gonna hot.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: They got guys that can hit shots.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: They got guys that can hit shots.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to that matchup against Marquette.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, marquette's good Shaka.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be a good matchup, man, you also got you know, north Carolina going against Alabama, which is gonna be a good matchup there.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: That Alabama game against Grand Canyon was the wildest basketball game I've ever seen.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Like first of all, they were no fouls being called in pretty much the whole first half.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: So dudes were getting just trucked to the floor, just jumping all over each other, dunking on people, and then Grand Canyon just went.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: They just went stupid offensively.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Everybody tried to just you know one up everybody and I don't know.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Man, alabama is really good.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: They score a lot of points.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I think they're one of the top scoring teams in the country, if not the tops scoring team.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: But watch out.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: You gotta play Carolina.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: You got Yukon.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: San Diego State rematch.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, national championship there.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Kind of funny to hear Hurley kind of complain about the tough draw he has in the tournament.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Hey man, you're always trying to motivate.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know when you're on top.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I mean that guy's.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: That's why they're, they're all, he's a good coach.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: He's a really good coach and he's up there in his wheelhouse.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: He's recruiting in his area.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Agonize over the losses and he just try.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He's trying to find something because he doesn't want to enjoy.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah Well, it's only the first weekend, man, yeah, exactly, can't really actually see them winning it honestly.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yukon, I don't know, man, I don't know.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: There's a few good teams.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Iowa State looks good.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: The fact that they were able to beat Houston the way they did I know it was only the conference- tournament.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: But that's the East region.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: You got Yukon.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: San Diego State will match up, then Iowa State's playing Illinois.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be a good game.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I think it might be the best player in the tournament.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I like the cyclones.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: They've been tough all year.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: They don't beat themselves and that's really kind of good.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: With the baseline, you're gonna have to slug it out with them.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You know they're not.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: It's not easy and it's gonna take a team.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: You have to have grown men that don't know your team man, I mean, unless you have a really special one and done type player like Carmelo, and you gotta have some grown men on your roster.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, the Midwest, I mean it's one, two, three, five, and it's one, two in the East and it's also one, two, three, five in the Midwest and that's Purdue and they're going.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: They got past Utah State but they didn't get upset, you know.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And no.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people picking against them, including.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, dude, the big, big man has looked like a machine.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: You know the competition will obviously get stiffer, but Like, if he just plays to his size and dominates like that, that's a team right there.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Like, will anybody be able to stop him?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Because a player like that that gets hot in the tournament and can just take over every game that he's in, you know you get a dominant big man.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: It's lights out, they shoot good enough.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I'm still picking Houston to win it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Well, michigan State it was eliminated by North Carolina.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: They're going to go up against Alabama.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: That's going to be a good matchup.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: You know I'm looking forward to see.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I got UNC in that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I I.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: You know I picked UNC to go.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I think I got him playing in the title, but I I that's going to be.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: That's going to be a really tough game for them.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Alabama is pretty tough foreseed.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I wanted to talk about I'm sorry it's 24 straight for Gonzaga- and that's just so incredible.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Him and Tom is, oh, what those guys done just getting into the tournament every year.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's incredible, and it is.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I mean to have that level of consistency.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And you know, gonzaga, maybe this will be the year, you know, when they're not up there at the highest C, but they're five C this year, yeah, and they have a, they're going to get to play.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You know they're getting they get to Purdue, so we'll see what happens.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I kind of like them there, of course.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't picking Purdue, but I just don't.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I still See it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: See it, tell you, man if big dude plays like he played the whole tournament, nobody's going to be the other side of the Midwest is Tennessee Crayton, two, three.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And again both teams well coached.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Man, that was crazy.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Creighton Oregon was in that game, was nuts yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I think Tennessee is going to give this one.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: They're just better.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: They have more dudes.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, um, we'll go to the south, houston and Duke.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I know you like Houston.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I do, um, I, you know Duke is, duke is good.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: They're not, you know, they're not sweet 16 just because they got an easy draw, you know, or anything, that they're good, right, I just, I think you, houston is just going to, I think they're on a on a march to the title man.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know who they have.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: That's going to stop shed that guy.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: He's like a little bowling ball of a running back linebacker type guard and he gets to the hoop but he's like the way he distributes and then you know you got everybody out there that can hit threes LJ Crier, right, duke has some.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I mean Duke can get it, though I mean they have guys they can't they can't Phillip Palski's good they?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Got that, yeah that guy's they can.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And then they have a guy I mean, and of course, oh, what's his face that hit.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: How many threes, like 31 threes against us in one game.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: All right, uh so Houston, dude, they're going to take on the winner of Marquette and the underdog Wolfpack man.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I got Houston and C state in the rematch, I think this is a game that NC state can win.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Now I think this is going to this is going to be a great game.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Nobody really knows, but as far as the lower seeds go, NC state has dudes and it put it together at the right time.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: If those two guards for NC state are hidden at the same time, it's going to be really hard to beat them Right, because they got, you know, they got a point guard, they got a point forward, big man, point Right and dude they.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Morel, I think, is his name, and then Jesus.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: The other guys' name is about Hunter, I think, but they it what we're talking about here.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Line up.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: That's a huge yes In.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Arizona, two seed out there in the West, looking really solid on offense and defense.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: They're going up against Clemson, another team out of the ACC.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pj Hall needs to stay in the game.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's they were I you know they built that huge lead.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: That's the only reason they were able to escape him getting sent to the bench.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I thought there would be more upsets, honestly, and maybe it's.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: They're kind of maybe there's not going to be.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe it's more of just the parody amongst the top.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Well, they had some, some mid majors ranked a little bit higher, man.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, creighton is pretty some years.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: They're not so highly seated, so then being there in the sweet 16 would have been by way of upset, even though they're they're usually a mainstay.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: You got all four ones seeds.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they still got all four ones and twos, so I did not see that happen.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's not what it's been lately, so maybe some yeah, but I may be saving for this this some good matchups, man.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to this weekend when it comes to these sweet 16 matches, yeah.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It's nuts to me that NC state needed.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Like what is that seven game win streak now Right?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Well, that shows that what you can do if you get hot.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's, it's not much between the basketball.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: You got to have the pieces, though.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Right, you got to have the.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: You got to have a big man and guys that can get hot at his shots.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: You gotta be able to rebound.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, rebounding.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't want to talk about baseball right away, but we'll get there.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Um, fsu baseball came into the series at Clemson 19 and 0.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: 19 and 0.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Ridin high.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Uh, they were run ruled in the first game.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Actually, friday it was rained out they, so they pushed it back to a doublehead, or Saturday?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, first game uh, just didn't you know, well, they jumped out.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they jumped out to a four.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: nothing lead top for you, for air hit a grand slam top of the first Um and then that was, that was pretty much the first game, and then that was.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: That was pretty much it for the.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: The next four or five innings Right and uh, during that time lighter had a really hard time throwing strikes or locating his fastball.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Clemson put six runs on him, um, well, five on him, one on the relief pitching.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't matter.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: And then the wheels kind of kind of fell off, so they got to be 15 to five mercy ruled in the first nine.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: A bad things to come, but every good response from the nose oh yeah, I mean you in the in the second game right.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: The lead.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: They took the lead, jamie Arnold.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Jamie Arnold.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: You know he ran into trouble the first inning.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: A couple of base runners gave up a hit, so they they got a run across.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: But as soon as Florida state got that lead, and they did so again with with the home run, your Florida state hit 12 home runs on the weekend.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: That's incredible.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they jump out to a five to one lead.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Um, Arnold shut him down.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was in the game, he they right, right he exits with the lead, the five-one lead.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: They get up to eight to one.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a glaring hole.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Bullpen just melts down in the ninth inning.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: It melts down in the ninth.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: It melted down in the first game too, Right, but I'll also say yeah.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: And in the second game.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: The second game they had some defensive mishaps.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And in the third game as well.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you can't throw strikes and the pressure, especially in game two, when it's the ninth inning and it's just little by little, you know it's quicksand, you sink a little bit faster and a little bit faster and just everything that went wrong could go wrong.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: And then you know, the same thing happens Sunday you jump out of it to an even bigger lead, which is good to see.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: It is, and it highlights the many positives with the team Number one.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Jumping out at you is the lineup 12 home runs, and these aren't little excuse me home runs.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: These were shots.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Right Clemson's good yeah, cam Smith, 115 off the bat on his last home run, big time shots.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know Clemson hit some home runs too.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I think they hit eight home runs on the 20 combined home runs.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: On the weekend the wind was blowing out.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: It's a launching pad anyway.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Max Williams was robbed of two home runs.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: He got himself one.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: You know the power is there.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: The lineup is much better Starting pitching, you know you still have some.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Connor Whitaker did a really nice job for five innings on Sunday.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: And you're not going to have it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: So you had two at, you had him, he played.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: It was a quality college start there, and then a really good start from Jamie Arnold, so he had one pitcher out of the three that didn't have his stuff.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: The lineup came to play all three games.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So it's just one big weakness here, right.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: And the thing with lighter what you know, lighter ran into trouble with walks.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: You know it's not like they were hitting them a ton, squaring them up.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: That came later with the bullpen.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: You know Arnold shut them down.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: They were.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: they were not touching Arnold, you know and there wasn't there wasn't a lot of swing and miss stuff coming out of Florida State this weekend.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Save Arnold, I mean, he was just untouchable.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: But you know it's a young bullpen.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: They're without three arms Okay, that's good.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: It's obviously not what you want to see, and you know some guys.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: It just I mean you can't really explain it other than just be like dude baseball meltdown.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: It's 19-3 though.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're 19-3.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: You're still 19-3.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Three and three in the.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: It's a tough ACC you got.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: You had to play the best team in the league on the road.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do believe that Clemson.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: You know they may not have the best pitching staff in the league.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: You know they probably don't have the top pitching staff in the league, but they will likely end the season with the top offense.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I mean those dudes one to nine, just like Florida State, but those one to nine can swing the bat.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: They're a really good team.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: They'll probably flirt with the national seed.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I think Florida State obviously it's-.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: No time to yeah.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: No rest for the weary.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: You gotta play Florida and Jacksonville on Tuesday.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Right, a team that's swinging the bat really really well right now.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: That's also, I mean they may be the top offense in the country.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Right, they're on the show of college baseball.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: They do Cagley on that kid is not fair.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: He shouldn't be.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: He should be in the in triple A right now, well, but you know it'll come next year.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they're really good man.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: They got a lot of power.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: The pitching has been the one that's been the question, but if it's getting corrected they're gonna be tough to beat.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: But again, like you can't hang your head, you gotta go out there games in Jacksonville and then you got Louisville coming into town this weekend.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: They're this is a series that you go into really shooting to try to sweep the series.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Man, you need to approach it like that, like this is a team that we can get three wins over.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Right, well, you just gotta work on your bullpen.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Make the strength a weakness.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, the weakness is trying.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's just Don't do that, don't start not scoring.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know how baseball is man, one bullpen comes in and shuts down the wrong offense.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: It's even though they did hit another home run in the top of the night, but by that time it was too little, too late.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there's a just gotta throw strikes, Throw strikes.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: You know, walk, guys put them on late.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: They throw strikes and they hit every pitch out.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Big leads, yeah, and that's it.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: You throw enough strikes.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Enough of the hitters are gonna miss it to where you're gonna get outs.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: You gotta let them earn it.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Free passes, man.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Well, we had a.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: They're better, though.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: They're a lot better than last season Legacy weekend.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, big recruiting weekend for Florida State.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you, man, that the biggest news out of the recruiting is is USC coming into the state of Georgia and taking Three of the three of the best players in the state right.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah other than the Bulldogs noses.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: All, all committed To Georgia at one point and they're all going to USC now.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Also took Hilton Stubbs, the third, out of Jacksonville, a guy that was thought to be leaning heavily towards the Gators.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean when this is LA and they're coming with the money.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like I'm like they're selling something pretty, pretty heavy man.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: But it's kind of.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: It's kind of how USC does it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: They sort of swoop in out of nowhere and get commitments from these kids.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: They did it last year with Zandamella Kid.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: That was thought to be all FSU for months, and then he takes one visit out there and that's it.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Well, you don't want those guys.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I mean yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you don't know now it is yeah, you got to try to get them.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're not gonna be able.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Like you, you get them to.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: You have money.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Florida State's definitely Playing right right, but you have to be smart with it, and I think they've been doing the right thing there.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: And well, we'll see again, these are verbal commitments, so we'll see what what the pull is.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying that either one of these kids or their families or anybody are entertaining this kind of you know, method of recruiting and stuff like that.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: But you know, let's say, a kid does Commit to Georgia or something like that, and and I say they want more out of them.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: So you, who you gonna go out there and and Get them to compete against we commit to USC, yeah, you know.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: So now, hey, man, you really want my commitment.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Kirby, you're gonna have to compete against all this out here in Hollywood.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: You know you can't.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: You can't give me a penthouse, you can't give me a condo and you know, and sunset or any of that man.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: But you know, you can give me money.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot more money.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I mean practice continues.

  Speaker 1: Standard, a set, and that's what you love to see even though there's not a whole lot of you know.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: We lost a lot of guys you know off the team last year but there are a lot of players still that are kind of in their money year going into this season.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Well, every year you're gonna have that with the transfer portal.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you have to have that mindset.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: You have to be able to go out there and tweak your roster In this environment, and you can do that well, you can use it to your benefit.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: You can use the kids that are in the trend, that really want to come in and and base upon that last year.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah Ross means you have to feel.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: You seen it right here at the quarterback position right.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: It can be mutually beneficial for the player, for the program.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: You know, you look at the guys that are going in the draft this year.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: It's exact.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: That's that example.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Wait, a lot of muscle and the run and the ground game.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about the backfield, there's some big dudes back there, yeah.
