  Speaker 2: but right now you're in Norman, Oklahoma. So you're an Oklahoma.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Guy, right Ye, yes, sir, I am, And.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: It's it's Your career has always been super interesting to me,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: just kind of like the whole deal from your parents'
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: side to playing at Oklahoma State and then obviously to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. So when you think about it, now, has
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: this college career from start to where you are right now,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: has it seemed long or has it gone by quickly?
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Now it's gone by super fast, Like it's crazy. I've
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: been in college a while, but the time goes by
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: super fast. It honestly feels like I was a freshman,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: like not too long ago, especially like the time spent
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: at Oklahoma State that I was there. I wouldn't say
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like it didn't happen because it was
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: so long ago, but it also feels like it just
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: happened because I just feel like time goes by so fast.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: So and even like the time at UH in West Virginia,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I've been this is going on my third year, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: it doesn't even feel like I've been here like that
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: long either. It's just because time goes by so fast.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: So while I while I'm here, I'll just be trying
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: to hone in and realize why where I'm at and
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: not try to take advantage of, you know, the time.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, while I'm here.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Not too scared. But if you think this has gone
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: by fast, like that's how the rest of your life goes,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: like years, click off like that was a week and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you go, wait, second, I've been out of school for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: how long? By the way, congratulations double degree. You already
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: have your undergrad and in the course of this coming
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: month you're gonna get your graduate degree as well. That's fantastic, man,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love people that use the system
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: rather than letting the system use them. That's awesome. Do
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you have ideas once the ball is done as to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: what you might want to do?
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Like I always had a knack for like coaching and
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: stuff like that, but like I'm a big advocate for
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: like mental health. So if I can stay in sports
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: and just like help athletes with off the field situations,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: but like not just off the field, just any situation.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: That'll just help them become a better person.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Even if they're dealing with something on the field, I
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: can help them if they're dealing with something off the field.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Just try to like mentor them or just be like
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: a role model around the facility that they can feel
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: like they can talk to and stuff like that. In
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: a sense, we've got one right now at our facility,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: doctor Sophia. She does a great job of making sure
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: the guys are doing really good. So that's what I
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: kind of wanted to do after football.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think also that Rashid Marshall could be
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a mental ideal on that, because I was talking him
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the other day. It's kind of what he does because
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: there's stuff everybody thinks that players is just practicing on
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the field, but there's all kinds of off the stuff
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: field and it can't it's not always easy, and someone
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: who's been through it, especially somebody who's played, has unique insights.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: So that's an interesting area for you to go into.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sure Rashid's could give you some guidance there too.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, Sir Rashid is another great example. He's helped
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: me more than enough since I've gone to West Virginia.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: So yeah, where she's another great role model and.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Jay, let's stay on that topic. That's really interesting. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: wonder how much, and I'm sure everybody listening to this
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: program knows the the past couple of years for you,
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: the adversity you just had to fight through with the injuries.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: How much has that process influenced that reliance on mental health.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: You've obviously had to be very mentally strong to get
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: through the last couple of years. How much has that
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: influenced what you may want to do after football.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's been. It's been like a major influence.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Just like it's crazy, like dealing with certain situations and
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: then the next day you're going to class and you're
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: trying to like learn, like you're actually learning about those
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: things that can help you. So I wouldn't say I
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: was already using like self implement taughts on myself.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Just like make sure that I was doing good.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: But you know, keeping having a strong like connection and
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: having strong friends and there's good family members around just
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: to make sure that you were doing good is always great.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I don't I've never been the type of person to
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: get you down on myself. There's always a situation worse.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: So it's kind of always got to thank God for
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: you know, being there with you, and you know he's
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: you know, he's got your plan. So that was just
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: kind of like the main thing I would say I
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: was doing was just keeping God first and keeping really
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: great people around me to keep me uh, lifted up
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: through those through those far times.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Jen, you were you were raised. I think both your
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: mom and edwin the army. So were you raised with
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: army discipline?
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, for sure they were. They were pretty strict on me.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Not too crazy like the drill sergeant typical parents, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: you know, they they were very strict, and I can
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: never be thankful what they've done for me because they
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: obviously molded me unto I am today.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: So I'm very thankful for both of them.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Is it is it the military that got them to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma or is that just where they were?
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: No, it was the military. I was born on Fortell.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: They were both stationed on Fort Seal Military base out
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: there in law in Oklahoma. So I lived out in
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Lawn for a quite extensive time, probably until like middle school,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: and then we ended up moving up to Oklahoma City.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: So that's kind of kind of let them mm hmm.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: Is that military time? Punctuality in your blood?
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: There?
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: When we went to join you today, you were within
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: fifteen seconds of the target mark.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And you were early?
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Is that?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Are you punctual?
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Is that what your deals?
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of a big thing. You know, even
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: like with football, you know you gotta be early. I
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: min it's early. If you're early, you're late.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was on the boys, he was on right. Well, no,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to hear you say that because I've been
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: on the I've been on road trips where the buses leave.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Rich says a bus is leaving at one and about
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: twelve forty six buses pulling out, Like if you weren't
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: sitting there, see you later.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the true Yeah, Rich time,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: mm hmm. You you're not on the bus, my fault.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: If you're not on the bus, they're scrambling calling where
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: you're at.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: You gotta get on them.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: You got to get there.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want to be that guy. Yeah, when
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: did you i in sports that you were going to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: be better than good?
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Did it?
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Was it a middle school thing where you're making plays
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: or like when did it kind of pop that? Like wait,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: a second, this kid's got a chance to be like exceptional.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Uh. And I would really say my junior year of
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: high school uh, because I played basketball only throughout high
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: school all the way up until just my junior year.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: I just decided to give football to try because I had,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: like I mean, I had played like little league football
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: when I was younger and stuff like that, but like
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: as soon as like middle school hit, I was strictly uh,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: basketball only. So, like I said, junior year, the football
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: I had moved to Norman, I had moved. I had
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: already had moved to Norman like my sophomore year, but
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: I was still strictly basketball. And then my junior year,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: the basketball coach was like, man, man, you should come in,
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: I mean the football coach, so you should come and
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: get football a shot.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: And I was like, I don't know.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: There's probably like a week left to enroll. And I
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: just went ahead and gave it a shot. Started playing
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: football again. And then after my junior year, put up
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: like a little unlike I think it was like nine
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: hundred and eighty nine yards, had a real good season
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: and ended up finishing with like fifteen Division One offers.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: After my first year of.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Football, Oh my, yeah, and it was and it was
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: just kind of eye opening because I had been putting
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: all this time into basketball and uh, like, of course
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: I had a little I had D two offers and
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: stuff like that, and I was getting like a little
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: like I was getting letters and like I was getting
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: letters from Division ones, but like it was never something
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: that was just like, all right, we're gonna take a
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: chance to throw you a D one offer. But when
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: I was looking like, I'm only been playing football a
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: little under three months and I have fifteen Division one offers.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: So it was kind of surreal moment for me. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: think that was kind of like the biggest moment because
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: everything was very much new to me, especially like the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: recruiting especially was so new to my parents and stuff
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: So that was a very surreal moment for me.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: That's a wild story. Were you a point guard or two?
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: I was? I was running the point guard. I was
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: a point guard, Yes.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Sir, pass first or shoot first?
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Point guard? I was. I was passed first.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: But you know, whenever, whenever the situation needed some scoring
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: to get down, you know, I would I would lace
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: them up and get some work. So did you really
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: whatever the game needed.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, give me the classic point guard. Did you
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: do the whole AAU thing? So you would go to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: those big, big events, those showcases, and all the coaches
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: are there and you're looking at look at me, I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: can do this.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, sir, I was a big I was big AAU.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: That's all I did. That's all I did throughout high
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: schooling to my junior year. Like, as soon as I
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: started getting offers in football, I literally put down the basketballs.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: It was like, all right, I'm starting I just stick
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: with football from now on. Like after that, I didn't
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: even really care about basketball anymore.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, yeah, I hear you. So basically you were saying, like, hey,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I showed you what I can do in basketball. You
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: guys aren't interested. These football guys are interested. I'm going
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: over here.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah that's basically what what kind of transpired after that
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: junior year.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Just put a head down into football.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: All right, do this, do some self scout. What didn't
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you have to get big boy offers in basketball? What
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: did you have to get big boy offers in football?
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: I'd say in basketball, I wasn't like I wasn't kind
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: of like the aggressor, if that makes sense like I
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: was more like laid back, like I was doing my job,
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: but I wasn't like, I don't think I was showing
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: them anything over the top. When I was out on
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: the football, like I'm out on the perimeter, it's like
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: me very like there's one on one, like if I
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: don't do what I gotta do, Like I was just
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: out there being like a dog out there more when
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I was when I was out on the basketball court,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I was just more like tim. I'm not saying that
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: they wasn't really feeling me on the basketball court, but
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: they were. My presence was definitely felt more out of it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: See that's crazy because I was just gonna says, you
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: watch you play receiver.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: You are aggressive.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: If you will go up and win fifty to fifty balls,
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: that's part of your your best attribute.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I would think, Yeah, So that's what I would say,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: just being more aggressive, more confident out on the football.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I feel like on the basketball.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: You get more than a dozen. I'm sorry, you get
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: more than a dozen scholarship offers for football? Did you
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: what were your visits and why was it? Why was
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: it OSU In the beginning.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: So as soon as I got all my offers COVID
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: had hit so like every so I didn't get to
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: go on no visit. Everything was virtual. Everything was a
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: virtual visit. So a kid that just started football like
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: getting into recruiting all these coaches. Uh, it was just
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: really just my best like interest for me to stay home,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: uh because of course, like I was doing virtual visits
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: and I was like building connections with with schools, but
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: like it was so much we could only do over
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: the phone and stuff like that. But Oklahoma State was
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: right down the street, so we were able to we
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: were able to like to just go drive down there
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: and do visits within like the COVID rules like so
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: and during the time, they had a really good coaching
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: staff that I felt like was good for me yea.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: And one the time that I was like my freshman
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: year when I went there, it was great. We went
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: to a Big twelve championship. We had a great team.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Like the whole time I was at Oklahoma State, it
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: was it was. It was a good time. So that
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: was one of the main reasons I had just ended
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: up staying home because Cope, it didn't even really let
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: me get to experience the whole recruiting uh thing.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Like the whole recruitment and like that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Okay, so then you decide to transfer, you wind up
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: at West Virginia. Why what drew you here?
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: It was just more opportunity during the time, like the
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: coaches that were here, just like the plan that they're
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: uh telling me. I just felt like it was home.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Even when I came and visited West Virginia, it just
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: felt like home the place.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: As soon as I walked to the facility. The people
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: they felt like they.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Like West Virginia wanted me and they're opening me with
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: like welcoming with opening the arms, and that was nothing
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: that uh, that was nothing more that I wanted, especially
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: like the situation that they said that they were gonna
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: put me in and if I were able to do
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: what I were to do, like handle my stuff, then
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I would be set up for success. So that was
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: the main reason I had ended up coming to West Virginia.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: That's what led me here for the most part.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: So we were talking to Scottie Fox and he was
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: breaking down what happens between the end of one play
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and the start of another, which I think is fascinating.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: So give us your perspective on that.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, one play ends you might have run down
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: the field twenty or thirty yards. Another play is gonna
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: happen with maybe within like fifteen seconds. So take us
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: from the end of one play to the start of
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: the next play. What you have to think about and
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: how you know what to do on the next play.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, So first of so, I'm I'm I'm at wide
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: out bro.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: The whole time, I'm looking at the signaler like, I'm
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: looking at the signaler.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: So as soon as we get a play.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: The sideline, you're going to the side one.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, I'm looking at this sideline then mainly the
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: whole time until like he's done singing in the play.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Then I'm looking at the ball.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Like then I go to looking for at the ball
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: and I'm looking at the uarter back, so boom, I'll
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: look at the signaler, get to play, then I look
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: down once I once I figure out if it's a
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: run or a pass or say if it's a say
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: if it's a run. First thing I'm thinking is is
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: the run coming to me or is the brun going
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: away from me? If the run's coming to me, then
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: I know, especially like it just depends what type of
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: block it is. But let's just say it's like an
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: outside run or whatever and the boss coming to my side,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: then I'm gonna I'm gonna have to block them or
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: so if he's pressed, like, I'm thinking, okay, what let him?
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: What are my press rules? What are my like, what
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: are my press rules? If he's like, what do I
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: have to do against him? If he's off, I'm thinking
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: my offman block rules. That's what I'm thinking. If it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: a run, and then if it's a pass play, say
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: if I got like a slang or something, I'm like,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: the first thing I'm doing is looking at his leverage,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: and I'm thinking of what releases I can use. I
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: can get his hips open or get him turned or
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: it really just kind of depends. Like leading up to it,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: I could know I usually got a good understanding of what,
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: like what corners like to do. So if I know,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: like this certain corner doesn't like to do this, I'll
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: probably attack, Like I'm thinking I'm gonna attack those things.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Like that was the only thing.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: So like I get the signal, I get to play,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: I think about what I'm finna do I execute that,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: and then like like say, if it's a run play
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: or a pass play either way, I'm running right down
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: the field. You know, West Virginia is a very strong
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: and like very fast temple offense. So right after that,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I'm locked right back in and looking at the signal
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: because we're probably because we're probably tempoing. So that's how
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: it is. It's really fast.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: What is your What is your attitude when you're lined
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: up and you look across and there's one of those
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: chippy cornerbacks right up doing press coverage on you?
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Is that personal?
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, yeah, it's personal.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: But you know I usually like they gotta be you
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: gotta put an arm linked out if they're like too close,
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: if they're like too close up on me, then I
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: would be like, yo, ref, like you need it. He
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: needed to back up, because like sometimes refs don't really
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: mainly they don't really be looking at like they're looking
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: at the defense off side but there they mainly be
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: looking at like the D line and stuff like that.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: They don't really be they don't really be looking at
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: the corners being being off side for real.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: So and you know those corners are always sneaky, you
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: know that, Yeah, I know that sneakiest guys on the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: football team as yet. Get yet there's always they're always yacking,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: aren't they.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're you know, corners.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: You know, they definitely got a different type of they
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: carry themselves a different type of way and or to themselves.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: But you know they do try to get away with
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of stuff.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: So you know, waitnu you got if you came from
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma State. I mean they those d backs Olaoma State.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: That's all they did was whole guys.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Man, your former teammates, I think I think they they
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: practiced just tackling.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Barhawk drills, barhock drills.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: I will say, man, we did have some very intense
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: practices back at when I was at Oklahoma State, some
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: very great battles.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Jacon, were you guys going tempo when you
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: were at Oklahoma State? Were you playing fast?
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we were a very big temple, I would say,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: oklahom like especially like now, like if you could compare
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: like the offense, Casey Dunn was like the tempo offense.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: He was running kind of similar to rich Rods in
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: a very in a sense, there's very there's a lot
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: of similar plays, I would say within their offenses and
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: the tempos that we do. And I really I really
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: like tempo. I really like tempo offenses more than like
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: traditional like under center NFL styles.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get into that more coming up.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what what why do you like that? What about tom?
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Like? I just feel like it tires the dB down fast,
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: like it just I've always played in the tempo offense
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: since I've been in since I've been into college, and uh,
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I feel like it really does mess up the defense
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: a lot and having them to check and for them
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: to like having to move around with different formations. If
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: you can get to them fast enough, I really do
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: think that it gives you the offense and advantage when
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: we are moving so fast because they can't really sub,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Like they can't sub befo we're moving. They can't take
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: DB's out now, just especially if we're in shape and
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: we should be dominating, we should be dominating on the offense.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: So yeah, no question about that. We'll get into that
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: here coming up. Three guys before the game. In our
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: visit with Mountain, new receiver Jayden Bray is brought to
• 22:50

  Speaker 4: He would get here, you know, and when I were
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: to officially get to meet him, that he would be
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: a great guy because you know, all the people in
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: the in the town had so much respect, but everybody
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: was talking about himself.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: That's kind of like my knowledge.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Of like what was going through my mind right when
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: I when I realized, like Rich Rogers.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: When you did when you did meet him, or if
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: you have recollections, first team meeting, first couple of team meetings,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: what do you remember from those?
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: He was like as soon as he came in, he
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: came in and set the foundation, and he went over
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: like the dudes and don't like the ritual, like the culture,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Like he came in and set the culture and the foundation.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: He knows, he knows what works in college football.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: He knows the knowledge and you know and like you
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: guys listen, like you know what I'm saying.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: How to explain it?
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Like, but he just came he he just came in
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: and he was just firm and set his foundation and
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: it's the hard edged culture. And I don't know, like
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: I like, like I liked what he was saying. Everything
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: he says that we're gonna do. I feel like we're
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: gonna do it. I just really I just like the
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: way that he coaches what he brings like he doesn't
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: he doesn't like bs or like beat around the bush
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: or like where you like where he thinks that you are.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: No, that's Rich does not beat around the bush. Rich
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: does not beat around the bush. He's very direct, I'll
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: let you know.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's what I really like about him. He's
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: not gonna sell you a dream.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: If you're not where you need to be, he's gonna
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: let you know. And I like that's that's what's what
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: what what was needed. I feel like that's what I needed.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: So you so you thrive in that environment. Maybe that's
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: something from you a little bit of your military upbringing.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, you want that, you want that structure, you
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: want that discipline and how do you again, rich can
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: be very something I said animated. You know, how do
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: you handle that as an individual? I mean, because he'll
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: get after you. He'll get you.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just can't take it personal, Like nothing is
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: ever personal. You know. He just wants you to be
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: the best version as you as you can be.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Do you feel you've gotten better? I mean, do you
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: feel you've gotten better during this tenure?
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Firs of all, how I like how I attacked the
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: like how just how I approach every day just from
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: like waking up and stuff like that. You know, like
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: especially like you know, dealing with injury and stuff like that.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: You know, it is, it is hard. So you know,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: just you know, you get like you get to do
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: the stuff that we that we do, Like we get
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: to go to the facility, like we get to play football,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: like we don't have to like we don't have to
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: We get like we get to do these things. So
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: you know, it's just it's like it's a it's a
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: blessing in a sense. So just just waking up with
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: a different mindset every day, just coming in and attacking
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: because like one thing that I don't realize, like of course,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: like I'm playing football to like support my families and
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: stuff like that and what I want to do in life.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: But while you're you're playing for a whole organized organization,
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: you know that that catch you miss it? Catch that
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: you know that feeds everybody in the facility, not just
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: you know, the coaches, but the janitors, you know, the equipment, Like,
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: you know everybody in the facility. So it's way, it's
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: way bigger than just you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: JA.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I feel like he's uh, he's really instilled that.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: So he'll be Let's go back and talk about these
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: last couple of years, the injury a little bit more.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: I'm fascinated how how gutty you have been to get
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: through these last two years without having to be on
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: the field very much, not at all last year and
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: only five games the year before. What do you think
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: you've learned about yourself over the last couple of years
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: that maybe you didn't know before.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like, way stronger than what I am. You know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: going through all these rehabs and stuff like that. You know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: you kind of just feel like you can go through
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: go through anything, especially like when you're doing workouts and
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: stuff like that. You know, it gets hard, but nothing
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: been harder than a rehab rush out of surgery and
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: stuff like that. So just having that mindset of like
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: it can always be worse, it can always be you know,
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: just keeping your head straight and just always being thankful
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: for the little things, you know, and always just thinking God,
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: you know. That's what I feel like I've been doing,
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: like a really good thing, like since I've been injured,
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: because you just never you just never know when it's
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: gonna be a last time, like stepping onto the field.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: So just going hard. It's going hard every practice that
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: they could be a last. That's that's what I feel
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: like I've been doing, like a big thing of doing.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: And with that being said, Jayden, how did you feel
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: health wise through spring? Everything feel good?
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, sir, everything like I felt really good during
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: the spring. I feel like they did a really good
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: job and the staff, like we talked about just like
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: limiting me on some of the things that I've been
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: doing just to make sure that I've been doing good.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: My body's been feeling great and everything like that. So
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: the coaching staff and the medical staff does like a
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: great job taking care of the players and making sure
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: that we're all going to be good for the season
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: I have. I had a great I feel like I
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: had a great spring. It's been really good.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: What stood out to you? You got a bunch of new
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: guys on this roster again offensively, What has stood out
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: to you through the spring?
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: I would just say, like the camaraderie that we have,
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: even though like we've only been here for a short time,
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: I feel like we've been close, Like I've been playing
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: with these guys already, especially like the way we've been working.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: I feel like we've been working way harder than we
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: were uh last year. I feel like the guys are,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: like I said, it's more connected. Like I feel like
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: this is like a team, like a like a real
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: real team. I'm saying like last year it wasn't a
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: real team. But I just feel like we're more connected
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: in a sense, and everybody got the same common goal
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: and that we all just want to like really prove
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: and show like what w football can really do and what.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: So that's what I feel like You've got.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got a bunch of new faces in your room,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: don't you in the receiver room? Give me a little
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: scouting report, Uh break them down for us, Like if
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: you were coach if you were coach Bray, give me
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: a report on these dudes.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, I'll start out. I'll start out with Prince.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna call him mister go get it, because
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: you know he's six five six six. If you would
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: think a guy like that, you think he's only a
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: jump ball guy. Nah, he can. He can run intermedia routes.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: He can run the whole route tree. He's super clean,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: and he's very I feel like a guy like his size.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: I feel like he's very explosive and clean at the
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: top end of his routes. Next we can go down
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: the list. We can go on with Keon uh Man
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: he yeah, yeah, Hutching Man.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: He can. He's so fast.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Once he cleans up the little top end of his routes,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: he's gonna be unstoppable. There's certain routes in our routes
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: that we have in practice that we have to like
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: pull up on. I mean like like come back to
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: the ball. But you know he's so fast. He has
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: the green lights. You know he can he can keep
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: running on those routes. So I would say that man child,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: y'all know man child. They call him man child. They're
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: talking about.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Uh, Francis from L s U.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Francis from L s U. He's a he's
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: he's does every day.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: He's getting better, just like because they started was kind
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: of like, I don't know, I don't know what they were.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: He was just kind of like struggling a little bit.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: But then he started getting really good towards the end
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: of the semester and picking it up and making a
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: lot of plays.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: He's been doing real great.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: These were bigger guys, so we want him to be
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: able to go into the slot and outside. So he's
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: been doing a great job with that, especially like coming
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: in and learning a new playbook. It's not easy for
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: like none of the new guys, but I feel like
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: all the guys have been really learning the playbook really
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: good and uh doing a great.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Job with that.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: DJ was about.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: DJs has been doing a really good job. Uh.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: That's one of the guys I've gotten really close with
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: over the time since he's gone here, making a whole
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: bunch of players in the slot.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: He's very twitchy.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: I know y'all saw in the spring game him square
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: that touchdown. He probably does that every practice, if not
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: more than once. Uh, he's he's super explosive and I'm
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: really glad to have him on our team. Cyrus is
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: another guy who makes plays on a daily He's been
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: here since last year. Another guy that stayed out here.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Y'all saw the award he won the spring.
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: Game that Cyrus traw from Parkersburg. Of course, he's a
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: state native.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's really good. He's one of my good friends.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: I'm really excited to see what he can do for
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: this year.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: Jaydon he could hoop in high school.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: He was, I know, he was a really good basketball player.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: He was. He was telling me he was first team
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: and all that. So he was really good. And then
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: like all the freshmen that I came in, Uh.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Charlie Charlie, Charlie Hannafin.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Charlie Hannafan, Malachi and Robert Oliver, all three of
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: those guys came in. You know, they came in early
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: and rollies and they just came in ready to work.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: They were definitely thrown into the fire. But you know,
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: coach Garrett Uh and just the rest of the rest
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: of the coaching staffers did a great job with them.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Coach Kneelan Uh getting them on track early. You know,
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: it's it's never easy coming in early as as a freshman, uh,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: straight into college. So they were they were definitely thrown
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: into the fire. But I feel like they handled it
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: great and uh, I know when we get back for
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Paul camp, they'll be fired up to get back at it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: So, Jayden, when when the ones are going against the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: ones in practice, is there a defensive player that you
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: hope to avoid because that because that player, because that
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: player is looking to take advantage of the ones against
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: the ones and wants to take somebody's head off.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I would probably say, like for me, anytime I'm avoiding anybody,
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: it's probably like the D line. I don't never want
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: to be in front of the D Like if I
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: catch a ball, I know, I know not to go
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: back inside D line. As soon as that ball is
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: in the air, they're like looking for the ball. Those
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: who I would say, I try to stay away from
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: the most.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: That's that's why.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: They're just looking.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: They're just looking to prove what about Okay, But let's
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: let's build on that situation because when you're going over
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: the middle, that's when there's the.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Most danger for a receiver. And what's your mindset?
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Because if you're going over the middle, You're pretty sure
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get whacked. You might get whacked by a
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: guy you don't even see. So how are you how
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: are you handling that while concentrating on the ball coming
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: at you like one hundred miles an hour.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: Usually when I break usually when i'm so if I
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: gotta break in, I'm usually like peeking inside. But so
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: as soon as I like break in, I'll usually like
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: will take a picture of like what what was there before?
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Like I'll break in, I'll take a picture, okay, ball,
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: and then I'll catch the ball.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Like about like.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: That picture you like that you took, you gotta kind
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: of like guess on where those guys are gonna be
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: at before, like I mean, like after you catch the ball.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: So I don't know, I really never been like scared
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: of going through the middle, Like I just always be
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: focusing on catching the ball because he's a dog.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, you And back in twenty twenty three at Oklahoma,
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: say you caught a ton of balls across the middle.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: Most of your catches came in the middle of the
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: field there, so you're not afraid to go in there.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: I didn't say afraid. I just said, you gotta you
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: gotta have a mindset.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Do you yeah, for sure.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Do you think the number of dogs on DP has increased?
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I feel like we got a lot of
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: more dogs.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like just like we did
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: a lot of like really good job ruiting, especially like
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: the guys that we have lost and stuff like that.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: I fel like we brought in a lot of guys
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: that met Ris Rodd's mindset, you know, not just on
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: the field, but off the field as well. So it's
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: like we brought in a lot of high caliber guys
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: in that are gonna help us win this year.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the the season goes by super quickly, but now
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: you have these what I guess you could call OTAs
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: during the summer where you get really an opportunity where
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I think, magine back when you were at Oklahoma State,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: we didn't even have those yet, those those actual workouts.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: What do you want to fine tune here in the
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: summer before camp starts in August?
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: Uh? Just really like one thing that we had talked about,
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: like with the coaches is just really me just learning
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: the play but like the entire playbook, uh through like
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: all the positions and stuff like that. That's one of
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: the main things that I want to do, just so
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: I'm not just stuck on the outside because I know
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: the outside. I know the outside like the back of
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: my hands. So just getting to learn like more like
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: just tight end stuff, the slot stuff, so maybe we
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: can start going more ten personnel and you know we're
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: not just you know, just stuck into like three white outs.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Maybe we're gonna have four wide outs out there. So
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: that's just been one of the main things, and I've
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: been trying to learn on his playbook. And then just
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: also like just cleaning and cleaning and top like top
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: of the routes, like top of the route breaks, just
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: making you can always be more cleaner on those Let's
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: have been just just like the main things.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: And then just always getting stronger.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: There's always getting stronger for uh lifting, and just getting
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: stronger in the weight room. I would just say those
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: have been like the main three things how to work on.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: How do you make sure so you're home now for
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: about three weeks, how do you make sure that you
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: do stay in somewhat of shape, Like what are you
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: doing now so that you don't lose everything you gained?
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So the strength staff does a great job.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: But like they'll post like workouts on our TeamWorks and
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: stuff like that. So like this morning, before like this meeting,
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: I had worked out this morning, just did a little
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: workout that they had sent out on the on the TeamWorks.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: They usually send us a whole criteria for the whole month.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: What what what runs to do? What lists to do?
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: So I'll do that. I'll do I'll do the list
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: that Mike Joe will send us.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Where you go somewhere? Where do you do that?
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: Usually I got a couple of high school friends that
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: are still out here that I'm really close to. So
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: I'll go to some of like the close like colleges
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: around here, like the local colleges, or I'll just even
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: go back to my high school or something like that.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: That must be a big deal when you go back
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: to the high school, like, oh there he is, Oh
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Herery is, look at you.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: No, No, it'd be a little bit. It'd be a
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: little bit. You know. You know, I'm in Norman, so
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: you know it's not that too much.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: You know, I did not I didn't beat him twice
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: in bedlam, you know, Yeah, I was down.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of a hometown villain. I'm kind of.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: That's fine, that's all right, that's fine. We took care
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: of him, by the way, in the Crown basketball event.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you we did.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I sure watch that.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a that was a day. So you
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: growing up then, Trey Young had to be the dude
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: that you were watching hoop right, Yeah.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: He was.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, them games were so packed trying to
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: get in to go watch him play.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: I probably watched him like six times Norman High School.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so so you were pretty crazy.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: You were pretty impressed with Honor Huff's thirty eight there
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: in that Crown championship game.
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: He was funny.
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah, Honor Honor huff Man. Just watching
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: just watching the basketball team, you can't not see on
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: her huff So he's definitely cold man. Just in their
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: whole basketball season. It's been great to see what who's happening?
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: How do you think Honored be is a slot? He's
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: pretty twitchy and quick, good start stop. He'd be a
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: great slot, wouldn't he.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: He would be a crazy slot.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Just like if he take all everything he does with
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: that ball, oh my gosh, and comes to the slot
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: and come to football, it might be a first round pick.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: Well, heck, as much as he got held and hit
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: during a basketball he's already ready for the Presscott. Yeah, yeah,
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: that's good.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Hey, how about give me a give me a little
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Scott report on quarterbacks? Obviously coming out of spring ball,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: both of those guys, I mean, we had Scotty on recently.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Michael's in the mix now as well. Talk about you
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: know those guys. It looks as though you've got two
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: really talented guys.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been great being able to be able to
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: practice with both of those guys, just building, like building
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: a stronger connection with Scotty, just building on from last
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: year and then Mike, Mike coming in and us having
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: to build one. So it's just been great learning from
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: both of those guys. I feel like those two guys
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: are the most guys in the building. Like they're in
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: the building the most out of anybody on the team.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: You can tell that both of those guys are really hungry,
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: and it's really cool to see them guys push each
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: other in that room because you know they both want
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: to be great, and you know they just want to
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: do the best that they can. Do for w football.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: So it's been nothing but great. Like I said, just
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: to be able to work with those guys, and like

• 57:20
  Speaker 2: players taken in the draft was three.
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: It's always about the players.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Gotta have players, man.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Several players from West Virginia invited to camp, Reed Karako
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: to the Browns, Jeff Wimer to the Chiefs, Eddie v
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: to the Vikings, linebacker Chase Wilson invited by the Jets.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: Cornerback Michael Coates actually signed a free agent deal with
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: the Browns. I'm not sure if I left anybody out there,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: did I you.
• 57:46
  Speaker 6: Know, wasn't it wild to see Messidor and Trotter go
• 57:49
  Speaker 6: so high? I mean, guys that you knew were dudes them,
• 57:52
  Speaker 6: you got them for a year. That was That's always
• 57:54
  Speaker 6: the downside of the portal. And there hasn't been guys
• 57:57
  Speaker 6: and we can do this at some point. Some of
• 57:58
  Speaker 6: There hasn't been a ton of guys that have left
• 58:01
  Speaker 6: over the years that you went okay, that guy really
• 58:05
  Speaker 6: went on to do X. There has been a few
• 58:08
  Speaker 6: over the last seven or eight years, and you just
• 58:10
  Speaker 6: talk those two. You talk Tyke Smith, who turned himself again,
• 58:13
  Speaker 6: was a freshman All American turned himself into an NFL guy.
• 58:16
  Speaker 6: There were some guys that we always talk how things
• 58:19
  Speaker 6: could have been different. That's one of the things that
• 58:21
  Speaker 6: could have been different had you been able to keep
• 58:24
  Speaker 6: those guys. Some of the early days of NIL, some
• 58:27
  Speaker 6: of those on the very pre pre edge of nil
• 58:30
  Speaker 6: getting out of there, change, change, some fortunes.
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: Big twelve changed fortunes.
• 58:35
  Speaker 6: For some people, some to the better, some to the worse.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Big twelve had thirty eight players taken in the draft,
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: same number as the ACC Big ten had sixty eight,
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: SEC had eighty seven before I'll let you go. Thoughts
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: on expanding the NCAA tournament to seventy six teams, I
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: have a take on that, But are like.
• 58:55
  Speaker 5: Your guys take. You guys are basketball guys. What'd you take?
• 58:57
  Speaker 5: Go ahead and give your take.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: You're batting him, You're baiting him.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: This is I think it is it is designed. I
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: think the beneficiaries are going to be the big the
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: big conferences with teams with the five hundred record. I
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: think that's who benefits the most from that. And I
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: know there's going to be the now playing games Number one.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Number two. To me, the interest would be in secondary
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: tournaments like more. I'd rather see more of the kinds
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: of tournaments like West Virginia participate in than seventy six
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: teams in the NCAA tournament. Third point I would make
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: is that when coaches are negotiating negotiating contracts, making the
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: NCAA tournament in and of itself is no longer no
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: longer holds the cachet that at once did just a
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: few years ago in terms of how much you pay
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: a coach or what what kind of benefit you get.
• 59:57
  Speaker 6: I'm pretty simple in this regard. It's the greatest sporting
• 59:59
  Speaker 6: event we have going, there's more games in it. Great,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 6: I'm in, give me more basketball and tournament setting in
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 6: pretty simple, Tony.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm indifferent. I did see and I wanted to
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: get this up. Uh, what they had a projection of
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: what this year's tournament field would have looked like if
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: you had the seventy six teams this year, and it's
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: eight more. I mean, it's not a world of differences,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: not a world of difference. So you're gonna have a
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: lot of You're gonna have six games on Tuesday, You're
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: gonna have six games on Wednesday. They're gonna feed into
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: the Thursday and Friday games. So is it this monumental
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: thing now? Like Brad said, it's more games. It's more games.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: You know, it will be interesting to see down the
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: road what it does to to the non NC Double
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: A events like the Crown personal favorite of this show,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: our favorite non NC Double A tournament is the crew kind.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 5: Of cuts into them a little bit. I mean it
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: cuts maybe, yeah, yeah, maybe.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: And the NIT had been changing anyway, things have been changing.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 6: This isn't I mean, you're already had sixty eight teams.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 6: I mean people are asking like this is the end
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 6: of the Actually its end of the world. You already
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 6: hit sixty eight teams. It's a few more teams being
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: added in great.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: There have been There has been a significant increase of
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Division I schools since the last time they expanded the field.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: So you're about hovering approximately twenty percent of your teams
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: now go to the NCAA tournament. So eighty percent still
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: don't go of your three hundred and whatever. It is
• 1:01:27

• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: you recall the mailman from Mercer County? Sure? So that
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: was the person who got onto the show. And then
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: just like I went back to episode one, he said
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: and listened Oh my gosh, even I was route, so
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: he got time sure, and now he writes in after
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: a bit of a hadn't heard, It's been a long
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: hot minute since I've tuned in. Actually, it's been about
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: a year. A couple of health issues, including a recent
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: amount of cancer. I had surgery December the four at
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: the Wake and this is how he wrote it. At
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: the Wake Forests and after a ten hour procedure, I
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: was awakened to a nurse asking if there's anything I
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: was looking forward to for the weekend. Unable to talk
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: because of the nature of the surgery, so I scribbled
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: out on a dry erase board WVU and Wake Forest
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: basketball game. Although the outcome wasn't in our favor, I
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: was grateful to be able to watch the game on TV.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: As Tony says, it's all about perspective. After a nine
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: day hospital stay, I gave them a thanks for having me,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: for having me right there. Fast forward four months, I'm
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: back to work stuffing boxes, delivering package. Is almost completely healed,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: expected to make a one hundred percent recovery and cancer free.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Not to take anything away from anyone that says they
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: have beat cancer, but I didn't beat anything. God beat
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: it for me. I was there for the journey. He
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: won the battle for me before it started. And on
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: a good note, I've missed about a year of episodes
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: and now I get the Binge listen every day while
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: at work. Three episodes a day. Yeah that's right, three
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: a days. Forget Coach Rod's two a day's. We're going
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: three a day's with three guys. That should get me
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: through the summer series just in time for football. Ps.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 5: Good conditioning on his.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Hunger pains are tough when you have to deliver these
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: all day. Say, right there, he had to deliver all
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: those biscuit flyers, those direct mail piece from tutors. Right,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: he's just spreading a word.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 6: That's a great story.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we wish you the absolute very best and
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: that's wonderful news. Texter Chester from Winchester reports that the Winchester,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: Virginia Star newspaper states that Kevin Pittsnaug will take over
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: as the new John Kerre Elementary School principal in Winchester, Virginia,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: upon the retirement of the current principle. Yeah, that was
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: that was a wild back, but uh uh, that's unbelievable,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: fantastic for Kevin and uh, congratulations to him on his
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: continued career in education. I was thinking, imagine him as
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: your principal in elementary school. You got the little Sparky's
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: they're about they're about two seven, right, about two feet
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: seven and keVs you know, bordering on the sixth tennish
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: and so they Yeah, that commands respect.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 6: He walks down the hall.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: You think they know he's coming?
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so, Texter. This goes back to our
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Miles Saddler episode. We Brad and Tony need to be
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: efforting for tutors in Morganton to carry poutine. You think
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: we could get that on the menu there in there?
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: I never had it?
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: You had it brand? Oh yeah?
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: And oh really, Tony, you probably have because I.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Don't think I have, But I'd like it. That's right
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: in my That's a right, that's right in my wheelhouse.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: Sounds good.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 5: I'll leave three right now. Brad's to get cranky because
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 5: he's angry over there.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: Love the program, have listened to everyone. I'm wondering if
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: the players got any of the money from the Basketball
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: Crown Championship.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 5: Got all the money? They got all the money. Yeah,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 5: they're all the money.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: The school's not allowed to touch any of it. It goes
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: through a sponsor, and so the players got all of
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: the money, and it was three hundy that was split
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: based upon a player's performance and the player's social media following.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: So that's how they got all divvied up. But yeah,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: they made they made dollars. Last one. This is Joey
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: B in Princeton. I was camping in Talladega, Alabama for
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: the NASCAR race. We're hanging around having some cold beers,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: smoking some wings, and a kid walks up and says, hey,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: I see your tent. I played there last year. What
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: I was a kickoff specialist. My name is Ethan Head.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: Extremely encounter. But it just proves yet again there's always
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: a West Virginia connection. Signed by Joey B in Princeton.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 5: You see that big wreck at Talladega, like twenty eight
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: cars and.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Did not see that huge wreck first? I've seen that.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: Can I give you one other thing we have time?
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: Well? Yeah, hoppy, Okay.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: So I'm fascinated by the Brendan Sorosby story. Okay, who's
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Texas tech quarterback who's checked into rehab for gambling. And
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: the first thing is, you know addiction is real. The
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: gambling addiction is recognized by the National Psychiatric Association as
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: a legitimate disability. So you hope that the young man
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: gets the help that he needs, and also that with
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: the prevalence of legal gambling, there's a lot more of
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: that these days, especially among young men. The question relevant
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: to us is whether or not he will be eligible
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: to play, and my non legal research on this suggests
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: you probably isn't going to be able to Now, the
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: argument by his people is going to be using a
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: portion of the Americans with Disability Act saying.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 5: He has a disability, which he does.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Uh so, therefore that should be an exemption to be punished.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: That you can't punish him for somebody who has disability.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 5: But the n C double A.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: But if you play college college sport, you're not an employee.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: See the Americans with.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Disability Act is most relevant to the employer employee relationship. Okay,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: and college athletes are not technically employees.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 5: There's still so.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: The the there is not as much weight to a
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: DA for college athletes. Okay, so and and and betting
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: on betting on sports is that's a number one rule
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: in the n C double A Like that's a primary
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: rule that you can't do it. So the thought is
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: that having this, having the gambling addiction, does not in
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: and of itself disqualify him or protect him from disqualification.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, understood.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, it may help mitigate the punishment, but it does
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: not exempt him from punishment, is my early read on that.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. Okay, Yeah, that'll be interesting because he's not alone.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: He's not alone in the college space. There's just there
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: are those that have that just haven't been brought to
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: light yet. So whatever they decide is going to have
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: a precedent going forward.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: So just some insight.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: And if it was today, you would not expect to
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: see him play against West Virginia today.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be a long way. That's a last game
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: in that last game? No, yeah, no, Utah is the
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: last game of the year, right, wrong, don't remember.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 5: It might be Utah?
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: Well you wrap up, I'll chick Utah is Thanksgiving week
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: at the end of the season.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 5: I think that's the end of the season.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they might be before that. Then you got to
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: go to Lubbock, Utah. Yeah, when's the Red Raiders? That
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: is Raiders at Texas Tech November seventh earlier, followed by
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: the Kansas, then Houston, and then at Utah on November
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: twenty seventh.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Since we're just throwing stuff out and we're not on
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: a live radio program, which is Hoppy still struggles to
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: understand that. He keeps looking at the clock like he's
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: got to hit his heart out. But anyway, So Mountaineer
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: basketball has been assigned in the Player's Era tournament. There's
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: two weeks of games. There's a window of seventeen eighteen
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: and nineteen of November in Las Vegas. That's the first
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: week of the tournament in West Virginia will play then
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen nineteen in Vegas. If you win two of
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: the three games that you play, then you would be
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: invited back two weeks later to play in the final
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: four for the for the World's champions.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 5: So first week in December or something.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: It would be the first week of December by that time. Yeah,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: it's kind of wild, it is, and West Virginia will
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: be doing that in each of the next two years.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: Same venue. What are the venues.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: I think they used the I think they use MGM,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: and I think the T mobile, right, So I think
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: the same kind of a thing they did with the crown,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: like you go to the guard the what's called that
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: was called the MGM Grand Garden.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 6: Club, MGM Graham Garden Arena.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to go. I miss the c Listen,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: we'd love to have you like to go. I mean
