I'm letting my dogs out 22 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: by I think thirty seconds. 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 2: Oh oh mess ouch. 24 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 3: It was not raining when I walked in, because I 25 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: was coming home from filling in from O and I 26 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 3: waited thirty seconds and I went to let them out, 27 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 3: and it's now pouring down rain here and independence talking. 28 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: So the dogs took one step outside, turned around, looked 29 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 3: at me and said, no, thank you, sir. 30 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 4: Sorry. 31 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: Yes, let's start with as much as we've talked about 32 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: departures in the portal, let's talk about the news of 33 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: significance today, the retention of three offensive linemen who are 34 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: going to run it back and good news for the Bearcats. 35 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: Detail who's returning and how significant that is. 36 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: Well, it's probably going to be the entire left side 37 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 3: of your line. You're gonna have Joe Cotton, who was 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: one of the highest ranked transfers in the portal, had 39 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 3: a very good first year at Cincinnati. He's coming back. 40 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 3: Evan Tengestahl, who has in many regards, been named in 41 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 3: All American second third team All American for his first 42 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 3: season as a starter at left guard, and then Taran TiO, 43 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: who played right guard this year. My anticipation is that 44 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 3: Tyo will move to center next year. So left guard, 45 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 3: left tackle, and center coming back for next year. That 46 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 3: certainly raises your floor. If you're looking at you, what 47 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 3: is this team? What is the next iteration of Scott 48 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: Saderfield football look like? At Cincinnati? Having those three guys back, boy, 49 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 3: you can you can sell a portal quarterback on that 50 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 3: big time. Hey, you're going to be protected. You can 51 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 3: sell running backs in the portal on it. You can 52 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: sell running back that you have on your roster that 53 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: you'd like to keep. Hey, you know we've got the 54 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: line coming back. So it's a big first step in 55 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: stabilizing the roster for twenty twenty six. 56 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 4: Speaking of quarterback, the Bearcats couldn't find a measly four 57 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 4: million dollars apparently to keep bring swersby. So that means, 58 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 4: I guess Lichtenberg and more are the options. Who do 59 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 4: you think starts this bowl game? And then what do 60 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: you think happens? Are either of those two guys or 61 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 4: more in the mix for next season? 62 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: Well, Brady Lichtenberg actually his freshman year at UC was 63 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four. 64 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 4: He's been there a little while. 65 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: Yes, so this is this is it for Lickti. It's 66 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: last his last who rah. I do anticipate that he 67 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: will start in the bowl game. 68 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: Uh. 69 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: Sam Oz Jones is a red shirt freshman. He will 70 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 3: play at some point in time in Memphis on on 71 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 3: the third or on the second, excuse me, and then 72 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 3: I think he will he'll be around to compete for 73 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 3: the job. They're gonna They've got Brooks Goodman coming in 74 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: as a freshman who they really like a lot, but 75 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 3: true freshman, You're gonna have to hit the portal for 76 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: one starting level quarterback, and you might have to hit 77 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 3: the portal for potentially a backup guy just to get 78 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 3: that room back up to size, because that's you know, 79 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: you need four five quarterbacks in that room, and right 80 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 3: now it's gonna be Sam Oz Jones and a freshman. 81 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: So gonna have to uh to bulk up that room 82 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: in the portal for sure. And by the way, Rock 83 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 3: four million is a very low ball number on what 84 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: Brandon story is going to get. I've heard five north 85 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: of five at times. 86 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 4: Wowa a quarterback. 87 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: I realize Navy doesn't exactly sling it around the field. 88 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: I think they average fourteen passes a game, but that 89 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: the current status of the UC secondary appears rather sparse, 90 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: does it not. 91 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 3: I think Hegan is suiting up tomorrow as tasty. It's 92 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 3: going to be ugly, but I'm gonna be there, you know, 93 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 3: at eleven o'clock to watch. Yeah, they're they're gonna be relying, 94 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,799 Speaker 3: and honestly, I don't hate it because you're gonna need 95 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: a lot of these freshmen and red shirt freshmen to 96 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: show growth. And you're gonna at least through these bull practices. 97 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: And even though Navy doesn't throw the ball a toime, 98 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: they throw it more than a standard triple option team 99 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: this year. Usually triple option teams will throw four times, yeah, 100 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: in a game, and they throw fourteen. So I mean, 101 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: break out the air raid. But you're gonna need to 102 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: see what you've got in some of these guys and 103 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: to see if you can throw them in there, put 104 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: their feet to the fire and see if they can 105 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 3: hold their own. Because you know, if we're at that 106 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: point right, a lot of people are worried. We haven't 107 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: seen anything from the high school guys. It's a developmental program. 108 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 3: You don't see a lot of freshmen and red shirt 109 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 3: freshmen on the field. But now these guys are getting 110 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: into the second third year in the program, You're gonna 111 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 3: need to find out what you got. If the guys 112 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 3: that you know really the only one I think they 113 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 3: really would have liked to keep with Christian Harrison. I'm 114 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: sure they would have been okay if Teakwan Sanks would 115 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: have stayed around. But I don't think they were going 116 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: to overpay at that spot because you already have Antoine 117 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: Pete there. So let's find out what we got. Let's 118 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 3: see throw these guys' feet to the fire and see 119 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 3: how they hold up against you know, a Navy team 120 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: that's gonna be physical, get down in the box, make 121 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 3: some tackles. Boys. 122 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: Gotta ask you a basketball question. Gisel James has clearly 123 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: been through a lot. He had a nice moment last night. 124 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: I was happy for him last night. He was smiling 125 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: last night. What give me a big picture observation of 126 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: this situation and what do you make of it? 127 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: Is it what I would have done bringing him back 128 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: this early from the situation he went through. No, probably not. 129 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: Is it what I would have done if I had 130 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 3: a multi million dollar a year job on the line 131 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: and had my leading scorer from a year ago at practice, 132 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 3: but not on the floor for games. Yeah. Probably, And 133 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 3: that's not to excuse Wes Miller. That's just reality of 134 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 3: the situation. There's not a whole lot of multimillion dollars 135 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 3: a year jobs out there. If you've got one of them, 136 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 3: I imagine you're you're gonna do whatever you can to 137 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 3: try to keep it. That's where kind of this falls 138 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: for me. He thought gizl could help them, and there's 139 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 3: other things. Obviously. You could see his teammates are really 140 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: happy to have Jizzle back yesterday, laughing, smiling on the bench, 141 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 3: having a good time, enjoying him coming back and playing well. 142 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 3: The injuries are mounting up. Like, I get some of 143 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 3: the stuff that WEX talked about in the post game, 144 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,559 Speaker 3: but for me, let's be honest here, they need wins. 145 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: They were six and four yeah, times running out and 146 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 3: there is no next year if they don't get this 147 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 3: thing figured out. So putting Jil James back on the floor, 148 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 3: I get it from a coaching standpoint. Just want to 149 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: make sure it ends up being the right thing by 150 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: the kid. Yes, and at least the early returns are good, 151 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: good like. 152 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: Going on a portal, the Bowl game, basketball.
