• 0:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome Purdue fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for this week's Purdue Report with Jake Dunn.
• 0:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake Inzo Shavron has arrived on campus in West Lafayette to play for Matt Painter's Purdue Boyle and Maker basketball team.
• 0:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is 23-year-old from France with one year of eligibility.
• 0:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Has not yet been ruled eligible by the NCAA.
• 0:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, I thought there was just a while while
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of what it's been like the past few years, but kind of funny that the second Purdue tries to take advantage of the rules, that's what the NCAA starts to try to crack down on it.
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he has been cleared yet in town on campus now, and I think it's able to practice with the team, but he just can't compete in any sort of competition.
• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's a guy who, you know, we probably shouldn't expect to come in and be an executive or anything.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: professional basketball experience playing in some of the professional leagues in France.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he's a six foot seven forward.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Got a really good physical presence.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's all set online that if with his offensive rebounding percentage, if he was a transfer in the portal here in college, what would been a second in the nation and offensive rebounding percentage.
• 1:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: So definitely a big rebounder trying to fill in the on this team.
• 1:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's a T. K. R.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: team really has a need for rebounding so I hope in that he can cannot be a big piece of that.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to need to take some leaps there in that regard and with his offensive game as well.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, excited for Inzo to be with with the team now and although I hadn't cleared yet, you will be cleared.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think for this probably feel pretty good.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: If he's on campus, I would think for you would be feel pretty good about.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I haven't been cleared, but if not, I guess they'll cross their bridge when they get there.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: It played a handful of games the last couple of years professionally.
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Typically that disqualifies you from the NCAA, but the last couple of years have shown us that that's probably not the case anymore, and they're just really going to need to make some, um, they're going to need to have somebody
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some of the clips I've seen have a long line for some highlights.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're all always only six foot seven, which is a basketball.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and that's not huge.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: In basketball terms, but he's a really good shot blocker for his size is super athletic and could dunk the ball.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've been impressed at how wise we know what to dunk the ball.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm excited to see him with the steam.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think his role.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, probably going to come off the bench, probably going to be mainly working in the pick and roll and being a lot threat mainly, but excited to see how I fit to the team.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And really, just excited and general for the season.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Talk about for first time in a while, there hasn't been any huge expectations for a team like this.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: So excited to see how they react with dad and excited to see a team that plays loose without any pressure.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: there are some pretty interesting big men particularly big men prospects on this roster but not really one is a bruiser that is physical that you know likes contact like he seems and it oyster like and so sovereign seems to but we're gonna find a lot more out about
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: This roster Matt Painter and his staff is going to learn more about it as they go to Vancouver here for the next few to Matt Painter and his staff are going to learn a lot more as the team goes to their international trip to Vancouver, Canada, one of the most beautiful places on earth.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: And those trips, Jake, under Matt Painter have always tended to yield some pretty good outcomes.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I think some of these teams have have played other like, you know, NCAA opponents before.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I think this would be pretty comparable to playing like a, you know, like a D2 school probably, but being able to take this trip, I think it's pretty cool thing is going to be some live streams for a couple of a Middle East, so they'll start off here on Saturday, July
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So to be at Lungara College, which is in Vancouver, tip of the mountain is right there are all the mountains.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and tip of time is 8 p.m. Eastern.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: So apparently, it will be a live stream available on YouTube according to the Purdue Sports website.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So they'll kick off there.
• 5:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then move on to the next day, Sunday, the 26th,
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: at the Langley Events Center in a Langley British Columbia, the S.M.P.M.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: tip-off, again, will be a live string there for that one.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Two days later, on the 28th, which will be Tuesday, they play the University of Calgary.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It'll be at Simon Frasser University.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that'll be at 9 p.m. tip-off.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: There may or may not be a string for that one.
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: and then they will round out the trip on Wednesday, July 29th.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess the University of Fraser Valley, I don't know if I pronounced that right, but that being in North Vancouver, Bruce Columbia, and that tip, I'll be five PM, and this one says there will not be a stream available for that one, but live stats will be provided apparently.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: So tickets are available if there's anybody
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: is looking to make a trip, take it to still available, but it's a breakdown of all the games.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: I highly recommend Vancouver, by the way, a beautiful place.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, I know we're probably to the point in our lives where we probably don't need to tell people where to find things, but where would they find the streams?
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: So to find a compiled list of everything, I would go to PurdueSports.com.
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: There will be a drop down.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, for all the teams that are under the Paris Sports and Brella, you'll click that drop down, Mint Basketball would be there.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: You'll click Mint Basketball, that'll take you to the Mint Basketball page, and you may have just fooled down a little bit, but there will be a kind of like an article or a story there about Peru Mint Basketball Canadian tour update.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if you click on that, that'll take you to the page where I was reading off all
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: games and everything so there's information there about that the game on the 25th against the Vancouver selects saying that that stream will be available on YouTube is as link available soon so it looks like they'll have that they'll have that they're just yet on the 26th against attorney West attorney again that's a 7 pm Eastern there is a link there already it looks like Canada West dot TV
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: is the place where you can go and find that.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then on the 28th and 9pm, versus the University of Calgary, it says stream to be determined.
• 7:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if we don't know if they'll be a stream for that one.
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then the final game of the trip, the 29th against the University of Forestry Valley, says that no stream available.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I may have to go online and a Purdue fan or somebody will be streaming that somewhere.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Google, but yeah, yep.
• 7:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: So see, I can go Google as your friend, Jake.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 8:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's the thing now.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I almost hesitate to tell people where to find things just because it's so easy on Google.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: Where can I stream the Purdue basketball game and you're probably going to be able to find it?
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: you know, to an end and get to see some, you know, get to see kind of your first, uh, a little bit of action here with, you know, over my R.C.J.
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cox, Chicago Harris, kind of we, you know, leaving the team here and, uh, we'll get a, our first kind of taste of how the team plays, uh, and you get to see some of these highly talented freshmen in that.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the thing.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's the thing, Jake.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: We, we know we know how good CJ and, uh, we're all excited to see the first.
• 8:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and excited to see Kaden Pierce as well.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I go back to the freshmen with the new five and five rule going into the place.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's not really any red shirts anymore.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So all of these games wouldn't count towards burning a red shirt anyway, if there are times where, you know, maybe, uh, and so, uh, Sharvin, Dan Jacobs and Ryeberg, just maybe they're all in some foul trouble.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe we could see, you know, sit, it's not who on who maybe in a tertiary year would have red shirt it.
• 9:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he can come in and get some experience.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of a positive point of this ruling, you know, probably not, you know, be very valuable experience, but at least it's some experience, so I guess with the, we make it to see throughout the regular season, maybe a little bit more playing time from some of these freshmen and certain neat situations like that, rather than when they're registered and we're not going to see them at all, unless free cacts and happens and you need to burn the red shirt, so that's by one of the only positive things I think out of this five and five rule.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, let's take a quick break, come back, right back and talk a little more Purdue basketball and then let's talk some Purdue football.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sounds good.
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Jake, we talked about doing a reaction podcast to the Pacer versus the Timberwolf Summer League game, because of course, Braden Smith, we had to head with Tray Kaufman Ren.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Tray
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: He 14 points and 15 minutes off of the bench had a really nice night.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, I'm not sure Tray Kaufman Ren will ever be an NBA player.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Of course, you know, he's from my hometown here down in Celertsburg, Indiana, and we've been watching him since he was a freshman in high school and love him and loved him at Purdue.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: Know the family.
• 10:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just don't think he quite has the athleticism to be an NBA player, but he is going to be a
• 10:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's so productive, so skilled.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Figures out ways to get the ball in the basket.
• 10:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: Smart, he's going to have a nice professional career jig.
• 10:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think really any of these four former bully makers have a shot to have a really good career.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: It may not be an NBA, but still a plain professional basketball, whether it be the Chile or overseas.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trick often ran.
• 11:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think his focus is going to be perimeter defense and shooting basketball expanding his range.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: We saw them pick a couple of three pointers in summer late and then I believe he did make one or two of them But that's gonna be kind of his his main thing people already know how could of a post present to you As you're turning the summer leaky average six point six points and three point six rebounds And shot 57.9 percent from the four so What it does yeah, yeah, pretty good performance from them there But to your point I think kind of just need some more athleticism as well and
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so maybe with some injuries, um, there are, uh, I think this past season, they were almost 100 players called out from the G League to the NBA.
• 11:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm sure he'll get to a Minnesota Timberwolves roster at some point in his career.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: and become the second NBA player from Seller's Burgundy.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm absolutely certain that'll happen.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: The question is, can he have a long NBA career?
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: You're driving in the second round.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: You think you have a good shot?
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I really hope so.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just think he lacks the athleticism of his size.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: But he is going to make a lot of money playing basketball, that's for sure.
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I saw obviously, you know, rooting for him and what we've had on before, but Julius Randall and Nas Reed were traded away from the timber walls.
• 12:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's open up a pretty, you know, good spot there for him to get a shot of maybe at least being on the bench for most of the season, but, you know, unless Elisla Brown comes in the timber walls or something and takes a spot, you should hopefully have a fighter's chance of making a.
• 12:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: may not crack the rotation, but at least you may be, you know, one of the last last people in the bench there, which would be really cool in the last so
• 12:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I hope I'm wrong.
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I hope he has a long story to NBA career.
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: But 10 for 10 from the line, by the way, against the Pacers as well.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: The, you know, with the new free throw rule that, you know, the summer we're implemented and which I guess is as I have now watched, make G league games, but I guess it's already implemented in the G league.
• 13:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: This free throw rule made it, I guess, made the investor, but also made the,
• 13:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: free throw shooting more important because if you just make one the new rather than having to shoot two for two points.
• 13:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: So glad to see that it looked like you know he I'm sure I've been working on his free throw shooting.
• 13:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It seemed like he could never really get a over 50% like a season average for Purdue.
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: It seemed like it kind of come in the waves where he'd make a few in a row then miss a few and but glad to see it that you know that's gone better for him and one thing we should
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: fairly early on in his summer week, kind of season the year if you will, taking elbow to the mouth and had to get three root canals.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then he played the very next game.
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he's a tough guy.
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got a high motor and he's in theory of present, I think, or pretty close to being NBA ready, but being up to battle for all these guys really.
• 14:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty tough.
• 14:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Brooklyn, I was like, you're not as hard to recover from as they used to be, but still, that's pretty good to have.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: And she get hit in the mouth the next day, and that's, that could be some big trouble, but really good to see.
• 14:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I do think that Braden Smith has what it takes to be an NBA player.
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like a full time all the time, not right now, I think he's gonna probably, without question, not close in the defense category.
• 14:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: But in the summer league, Jake,
• 14:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: as he was at Purdue, maybe even better at just being patient with the ball, finding the right guy, getting the ball to the right guy in the right place.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: And he had ranked mass together, Jake, we're so much fun to watch this summer.
• 14:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's got a long way to go on his defense, but I think one day Braden Smith is going to be a rotation piece in the NBA.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
• 15:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's he's been doubted in his whole career.
• 15:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think he can kind of use the stout that people have for him to not be able to play in the NBA.
• 15:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's as fuel as he mentioned.
• 15:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got to work on his defense and I think it's this kind of lateral quickness as well.
• 15:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: He struggled a little bit shooting the ball, but still orchestrated the entire offense really well.
• 15:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he averaged 6.8 points, 7 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.60
• 15:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: and he had 26 assists over his final three games, which is just pretty impressive.
• 15:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: And limited minutes do, you're kind of looking at all the different players.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're not playing full-time, 48 minute games.
• 15:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: He came out and said to that his job, it was to get these other guys a position to succeed.
• 15:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it wasn't necessarily his goal to go out and score as many points as he could, I think.
• 15:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And similarly, they're probably not running
• 16:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: limiting his opportunities for assists.
• 16:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: There were some shots that if you were going to trick off and ran, for example, probably you would have went in, whereas some of these other guys weren't able to capitalize on those opportunities.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you feel like, yeah, all of you have worked seven assists, a game, feel like he could have averaged closer or 10, probably if the teammates would have made their shots.
• 16:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 16:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's stronger a little bit from the field shooting.
• 16:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think it looked like
• 16:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of changes it's shot a little bit how much like it was kind of a little bit of a hitch and there that we didn't necessarily see a produce on not sure what's going on there, but kind of highlighting a couple games the highlight is just summer league tenure here, although he was scoreless against the Toronto Raptors, which which was a pretty crazy loss if anybody didn't see the game, but in that loss didn't score, but just job nine assists and then in another loss against the Philadelphia 76ers.
• 16:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: which went into overtime and was known through, or yet 16 points in five assists.
• 17:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, now almost before, no, with a really bad roster.
• 17:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, that roster was not very good.
• 17:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I also had a Braiden Smith, Rink Maston, Jalen Slawson.
• 17:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a pretty poor roster.
• 17:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Not the best the patients have ever had, but I was impressed with Braden, is deficiencies are clear to see.
• 17:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: When you watch him, if you ask somebody to, hey, tell me where this guy's going to be a success, tell me where this guy's going to struggle in the NBA, he's pretty easy to figure out.
• 17:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to be able to get the ball wherever he wants on the floor, he's going to find his teammates in the right positions of the score, and he's never going to stop anybody from scoring.
• 17:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
• 17:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
• 17:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Pacers GM, Chad Beacon, and obviously he knows Brad Smith.
• 17:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, he praised Brad Smith because he praises the way that he impacts winning, and you know, although made up, translated into a lot of winter in the summer league.
• 17:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think whether it's the Novels old boom or Pacers full-time roster, I think he can get certainly bring some
• 18:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Jake, I didn't get much time to watch Oscar Claff of Fletcher Lawyer.
• 18:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: I was focused mostly on the Pacers.
• 18:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: What did you see?
• 18:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: What do you know?
• 18:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I watched a lawyer in Claff both a little bit.
• 18:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Fletcher Lawyer was with the Los Angeles Clippers, had kind of a limited role, played some limited minutes, came off the bench.
• 18:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I feel like he still catalyzed on a little bit of playing time.
• 18:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: He did get
• 18:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: He scored in all five games that they played average 7 points on 43.5% shooting from the field, which included, obviously, quite a few three pointers.
• 18:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think probably the highlight for him was in his similarly debut, I forget the team there playing, but the clippers were down and they went on kind of a
• 18:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: a Teno scoring run and it was sparked by a flutter warrior pull up three in transition.
• 19:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I thought he played pretty well.
• 19:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: He did kind of the all the little things right.
• 19:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I felt like in the games that I saw.
• 19:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think for him would be looking for a G League spot.
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: If not, you know, overseas, but there are handful of guys every year that kind of fit lawyers build their shooters, not really, you know, meant to do anything else besides space affords, shoot the ball.
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Probably going to spend quite a few quite a lot of time here with the, with the, the G-League team, the senior and clippers, because he did sign that exhibit 10 contract, which, you know, if he spent some time there with.
• 19:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: with the G-League team, he can earn some additional money there.
• 19:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not a guaranteed contract, but the only says as the opportunity to stay within the organization.
• 19:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: It means he has a better opportunity than the people around him, because they believed in him enough to give him this deal.
• 19:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
• 19:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then for Oshr Kluff also went undrafted, but he was with the Houston Rockets.
• 20:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he quickly kind of carved out a role as their sixth man.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: He averaged four point to game 7.6 rebounds and about half a block a game and you pull down at least nine rebounds and three of us five outings.
• 20:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that kind of same thing, you kind of know what you're going to get from him.
• 20:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Use a presence on the interior for sure.
• 20:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that the biggest question mark for him, kind of entering the summer.
• 20:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: was his defense.
• 20:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: He looked more trim.
• 20:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if he was kind of in better shape, which was great, we saw kind of a somewhere thing.
• 20:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Was that GD when he transitioned from college to the pros, he kind of trimmed down, you know, even more.
• 20:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he was able to pick up a little bit of quickness from that.
• 20:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that that is well off your cloth as done as well, he slimmed down.
• 20:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was able to impact the game on defense as well.
• 20:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, Cloth doesn't need the ball or doesn't need the score to be impactful and that's what we saw here.
• 21:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Houston Rockets, though, were the only team that featured a peru player that made it to kind of like the Summer League tournament.
• 21:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: They eventually fell to Cameron Booser and the Memphis Grizzlies and the Simming Finals.
• 21:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then in the Finals.
• 21:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: the grislies lost to the warriors, which warriors have, Yaxel and Berkhu, Purdue fans are all aware of.
• 21:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, they, I hope we'll be because you make ten championship.
• 21:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just want to remind everybody that.
• 21:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 21:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yaxel and Morg was on the team that Purdue beat to win the big ten championship.
• 21:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just put that out there.
• 21:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: They might be the national champions, but they're not the big ten tournament champion.
• 21:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Jake, let's talk a little bit of football.
• 21:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I believe it's 46 days to kick off.
• 21:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: What are we here in camp starts on August 1st for the, or actually be August 3rd for the team.
• 22:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I still got that a little bit of time to go before then, but I'm excited to kind of get to start to hear some of those reports from from camp about who's looking good, who's who is kind of lacking excited for this team.
• 22:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think
• 22:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Certainly, better roster than last year, I would consider this year one of a very Ottoman is tenure at Purdue.
• 22:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Last year, I kind of knew that as a year zero, their focus was pretty much just assembling a roster whereas now they can actually build a roster.
• 22:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not just throwing people together at the last minute to try to be able to feel the team.
• 22:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we saw some pretty nice additions in the portal here.
• 22:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think if Purdue can find a way
• 22:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, when a handful of big 10 games, I think that would go a long way for them as a program.
• 22:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Purdue had a few opportunities last year to win a couple of big 10 games, but just some mistakes done the stretch really kind of cost them the games, particularly from from Ryan Brown.
• 23:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I think he'll be better.
• 23:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: The wider Steven Rims seems to be improved.
• 23:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of teams to be improved, some of the positions on defense seem to be improved.
• 23:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I've definitely got some higher expectations for this team,
• 23:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still think probably working at a couple of big 10 wins and beating hopefully in the end of the state and a week for us in the non-conference with what would be huge.
• 23:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, let's talk more about that next week, appreciate it as always.
• 23:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sounds good.
• 23:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
• 23:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'll wrap.
• 24:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: Central A and the Sports Report is a product of ITG media, and I'll see you soon.
