Everybody says, oh, just stop, and you know, 22 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: really soak it in because it goes by so quickly. 23 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: But it really is a special time of year and 24 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: for you guys, you just got wrapped up with practice. 25 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 2: Now are you on spring break right now? 26 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: Or do they basically just say, you know what, you're 27 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: in semi state, so just take the day up and 28 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: go practice now. 29 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: So we're yes at malvernon We get two weeks off 30 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: for spring break, so that started this week and we 31 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 3: play at ten am on Saturday. So it's been kind 32 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 3: of nice because we can just practice right at ten 33 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: am every day to kind of get ready. So so yeah, 34 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: that kind of it's pretty nice because you never play 35 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 3: at ten am. It's kind of like one of the 36 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 3: biggest games of the year. You just got to wake 37 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 3: up and go at it. So yeah, we're just trying 38 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 3: to get ready for that. 39 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: So hey, what was it about? You know? 40 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: And I know that whenever you see a team for 41 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: the second time, maybe you learn a little something. Maybe 42 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: something goes through your mind from the first matchup that 43 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: they exploited about you, and you think, you know what, 44 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: maybe I can make an adjustment here or there. What 45 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: was the difference for you? What what allowed you with 46 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: that sort of a superlative performance against a fine team 47 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: in Pike? 48 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean first of all, Pike just has way 49 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: more size than us. I mean, they got six seven 50 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: six seven, six eleven, so I mean it was hard 51 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: for us to match up with that. We knew we 52 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: had to say something away, obviously, so we just tried 53 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: to pack the paint. We tried to play back line 54 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: defense and give up some some open looks from three, 55 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 3: and just try to try to take away their jobts 56 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 3: because they're obviously, you know, a great team of super athletic, 57 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 3: so they can get to the rim whenever. So that's 58 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: when we try to take away. And then fortunate enough, 59 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: they you know, missed some shots and we were able 60 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: to get some type of stops and stay in the game. 61 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: So you have so much, Luke that is right there 62 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: at your fingertips. And I think you know this. I mean, 63 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, you're you're getting All American type accolages as 64 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: a high school player, you're a top fifty recruit, You're 65 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: you know, Purdue is right now one of the pre 66 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: eminent programs in college basketball, and mister basketball may well 67 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: be within your grasp as well. But is it difficult 68 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: to focus on the now and not get caught up 69 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: in the next. 70 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Honestly, I don't think so, because just 71 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 3: this time is so is so fun, Like these tournament 72 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: runs with your friends you've been kind of growing up 73 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: with your whole life is honestly just one of the 74 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: best things that you can ever do. But I think 75 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: it's kind of surreal, like how your dreams starts to 76 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: come through, as you know, being like, you know, nationally 77 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 3: recognized and going to Purdue. But like I was just 78 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 3: like three years ago, no one really knew who I 79 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 3: was or two years ago, and I was just another kid, like, 80 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 3: you know, trying to play basketball and work as hard 81 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: as I can. So kind of crazy how everything comes 82 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: at you kind of fast, but it's just kind of 83 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: a product of you're just working hard every day and 84 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: then good things are going to come is if you 85 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 3: just keep your head down. 86 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, is it hard to still be that same kid? 87 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: I would say it's kind of crazy, Like how once 88 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: you start having people taking pictures with you, you know, you 89 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 3: you start having to sign little kids stuff all the time, 90 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: and you're like, wow, like these these kids want my autograph, 91 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 3: they want my picture, and you go around school and 92 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 3: people are you know, starting to treat you maybe a 93 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: little different because you're good at basketball or whatever. But 94 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 3: that's when you got to have kind of people in 95 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 3: your life that keep you grounded like I do. And 96 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: but yeah, it is. It is kind of crazy, and 97 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 3: people start to treat you a little different once you 98 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 3: kind of have some success. But you got to handle 99 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: it the right way. So I'm trying to. 100 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: Luke Rdle is my guest. 101 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: He is, of course, the leader of the twenty five 102 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: and three Mount Vernon Marauders, who are on their way 103 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: of the semi State to take on Eddie Garrison's Decatur 104 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: Central Hawks this Saturday at ten in the morning, Luke, 105 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: when you when you talk about Mount Vernon, and this 106 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: is what's so refreshing to me. I think basketball today 107 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: and recruits in general. You know, so much of it 108 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: now has gone into and I understand it. The AAU circuits, 109 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: the summer circuits, the camps, all of those things. And 110 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of players that when 111 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: they think of who they play for, they think of 112 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: those travel teams now before they think of their high school. 113 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: You seem to think differently with that. What does it 114 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: mean for you to be able to represent your high 115 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: school and your community? 116 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a blast, It's awesome. I think 117 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: there's a good relationship between like, uh, you need to 118 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 3: play you obviously, and I played with any e elite 119 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 3: my whole life, and that was a great, great opportunity 120 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 3: to play against the best players in the nation on 121 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 3: that circuit, you know, and get that experience. But then 122 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 3: come to high school, you're representing your community and that's 123 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: just been awesome. Like playing over the years, I played 124 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: Julius Gilsey, New Pal, We've played Braylen All growing up 125 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: bredon Mollis, So you know, kind of those crosstown rivalries 126 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 3: and playing great competition and and and having having those 127 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: like friendship battles. It's kind of the best part of 128 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: high school sports in me. 129 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: So what sold you on Purdue? 130 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 3: What? 131 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: What's what is the main reason that Luke Earle has said, 132 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: you know what boiler up. 133 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: Man? 134 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: Well, honestly, you know, seeing Braden Smith and Fletcher Lawyer, 135 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 3: Like as soon as they went to Purdue, I really 136 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: just started following the program like crazy. I'd watch every 137 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: year just because I looked up to those guys and 138 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 3: and seeing their success, seeing how coach Paynter has has 139 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 3: believed in those guys and It just kind of makes 140 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: me want to go there and see if I can 141 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 3: play at that level and kind of you know, try 142 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 3: to follow them and and you know, write rivoling story 143 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 3: a little bit, but also just staying home. I feel 144 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 3: like Purdue is the best program in Indiana right now, 145 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: and that's kind of where I want to be at. 146 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 3: So so that's where you know, I I thought I 147 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: should go because they also believed in me. They were 148 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: one of the first time majors to offer me, so 149 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 3: Coach Painter kind of took a chance on me, and 150 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: it was awesome and can't I'm looking forward to it. 151 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: So obviously, Elliott Bloom, I would assume that you've had 152 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: a relationship with Elliot Bloom as well right at Purdue 153 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: who works or Matt Painter and you know, native to 154 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: your area. But the reality is this, you know, Braidon 155 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: Smith is two assists away now from becoming the most 156 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: prolific distributor in the history of college basketball, and you know, 157 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: all kinds of all American accolades. And then people look 158 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: at it and when they say, man, what's Purdue going 159 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: to look like without Braidon Smith, they so, well, that's okay. 160 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: Luke Urdle's coming there and people see a little bit 161 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: of his game in you, do you find that as 162 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: something that is inspiring or is it rather daunting to 163 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: know of those shoes that there's that expectation. 164 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 3: Well yeah, well, I mean you could look at that 165 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 3: at it that way, and obviously Braidon Smith might be 166 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 3: the best, one of the best point guards ever to 167 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 3: play in college, right, So so I mean having those 168 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 3: type of expectations coming for me coming in, I mean, 169 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 3: that's that might not you know, like I'm just I'm 170 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: just my own self and I'm gonna come in and 171 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: I'm gonna, you know, hopefully try to get on the 172 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: court and hopefully try to play as a freshman and 173 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 3: and just do whatever coach tells me. But uh, I 174 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: think we're very different and the fact I try to 175 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: learn a lot of things from him, but it's kind 176 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 3: of unfair to put those type expectations on me. But 177 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 3: I think it's it's a compliment to even being in 178 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 3: a conversation with with him. So yeah, I mean I'm 179 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 3: excited to get there and and and start to get 180 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 3: into work, but I'm looking forward to watching him play 181 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 3: and see how he ends his career. 182 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: So still business at hand, I realized, Luke Rdle my guest, 183 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: and before we let you go, Luc, I wanted to 184 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: ask you a couple of things, just about about you 185 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: and about what's gotten you here. 186 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: Okay. 187 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: I think we often look at a player and we say, 188 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's a teammate or a coach that 189 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: inspired you, or you know, whatever that may be. And 190 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: then sometimes when you talk to players you find out 191 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: there's like a even a deeper motivation. Is there a 192 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: particular individual or a particular event that took place in 193 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: your younger years that really inspired you to this point. 194 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: Is there somebody that you play for or some thing, 195 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: some vision that is your motivation each time you step 196 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: on the floor. 197 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 3: Well, I think I think the main thing is having 198 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: my older brother, Mike Hurtle, who now plays overseas and 199 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 3: played had a great college career, just growing up watching 200 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: his games, kind of seeing that it's possible to play 201 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: at a high level in basketball. Like I mean, me 202 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 3: and him are both six to two when I'm at 203 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 3: the most athletic when I got to jump out the 204 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: gym or anything. So seeing him play at those very 205 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 3: high levels and seeing him go through and how much 206 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 3: love you. After the game, I just kind of naturally 207 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: gravitated towards basketball and realized how much work you have 208 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: to put in every day to reach a high level. 209 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 3: So yeah, that's kind of my inspiration. And then you know, 210 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 3: that's kind of who got me into basketball, and having 211 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 3: a person like him to show me the ropes is awesome. 212 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: And when you look at it and your team and 213 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 2: so much of it. 214 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: I mean, when you put up thirty four and eleven 215 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: and against a team like Pike in an epic matchup 216 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: right in a great field house, and all the history 217 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: that goes with that, and now what could still be 218 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: there for you? The reality is it is still a 219 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: team game. Can you tell me a player or a 220 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: teammate or two that you have that may be in practice, 221 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: on the bus, in the locker room, you look at 222 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: that guy and you say, I wish everybody saw how 223 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: committed that kid was, because I might get the headlines, 224 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: but that kid puts in just as much. Give me 225 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: a couple of names. 226 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean, first of all, Maxwell Vice is honestly, 227 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 3: I think one of the best players in the state. 228 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 3: He's six, he's so altered, gifted, and he can do 229 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: everything on the floor. I think that he showed that 230 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: on Saturday versus Pike. I mean he outplayed some of 231 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 3: their guys and he's gonna get a lot of Division 232 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: one looks, I'm sure. And then one of the JV 233 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: guys that just bust his blood every day. His name 234 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: is Jaden Centers. He is always putting in work. He's 235 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: he's always trying as hard as he can and making 236 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 3: us better. And people overlook those JV guys and those 237 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 3: guys who are just working hard every day getting no 238 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 3: type of type of looks when the games come, but 239 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 3: they get us prepared. So man, he's another guy that 240 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 3: just gives it as all. So yeah, those are two 241 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: guys that really stand out to me. 242 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: Your brother's career took him to Louisiana and then Alabama Birmingham, 243 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: and you will be much closer to home with the 244 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: Purdue boiler Makers, but still work to be had.
