Yeah. 29 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: Nice, nice, all right? Speaking of the bowl game. 30 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 2: The news of the day for the Bearcats, Evan Pryor, 31 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: the running back or average six point nine yards of 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,279 Speaker 2: carried this year in rushing for over five hundred yards, 33 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: has entered the Transfer Portal. 34 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 3: Your reaction to the news of the day. 35 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 4: Cincinnati has to be really smart with their money that 36 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 4: they don't have a lot of it. I think Evan 37 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 4: Pryor was, and probably rightfully so, looking for a you know, 38 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 4: this last year, looking for a big pay day. And 39 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 4: I think he's probably a running back two for Cincinnati 40 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 4: at least the way that they want to run the football. 41 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 4: They prefer Corey kiner Tywee Walker type in that running 42 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 4: back one spot it's probably best for both parties if 43 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 4: they go their separate ways. But that's not to diminish 44 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: this was not Evan Pryor wasn't good enough. Cincinnati's moving on. 45 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 4: It's just in the new world of college football, financials 46 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 4: play into it, maybe more than any of us would 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 4: like them to. But that's a factor you have to, 48 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: you know, put into the the mix for how these 49 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 4: things play out. 50 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 5: When it comes to the money and be smart with 51 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 5: the money. How much of it do you think is 52 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 5: you know, saving up for having to invest in a 53 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 5: quarterback and the outrageous prices that college quarterbacks are going 54 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 5: for these days. 55 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 4: I mean, there's some talk in a couple of articles 56 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 4: that have been coming out recently that you're talking like 57 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 4: a million and a half two million dollars for guys 58 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 4: that are backups. Wow, now they're probably good backups, you know, 59 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 4: like the kid at Ohio State who's almost won that 60 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: job the past two years. Try talking to a million 61 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 4: and a half two million dollars to get him to 62 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 4: get the kid from Notre Dame probably over a million 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 4: dollars that that was the backup there. I've heard. I've 64 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 4: heard anywhere from four to six million dollars for Brendan Soursby. 65 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: Oh my god. 66 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 4: So we thought that the market would would calm down, right, Like, okay, 67 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 4: revenue shares here, the cap is in place, but for 68 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 4: positions like quarterback, you can round up nil money. That's 69 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 4: that's actual nil money that you know. These getting kids 70 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: are QB one. They're marketable in those those markets. Yeah, 71 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 4: and that money is not flowing down at all. So 72 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 4: you guys save the money for a quarterback ofton. 73 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: So you Kegan, you guys, everybody at Bearcat Journal, you 74 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: guys are all over this and do it like nobody's 75 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: business keeping track of the portal? 76 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 3: What going into the bowl game? 77 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: How would you categorize the general shape of the roster 78 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 2: going into the bowl game based on everything that is transpired? 79 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 4: Uh, not terrible, but certainly not what you want against Navy, 80 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 4: Like in this era, the last thing you want to 81 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 4: see going into a bowl game as a service academy, 82 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 4: especially a good service academy. This is a good Navy team. 83 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 4: They don't deal with opt outs, they don't deal with 84 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 4: kids entering the transfer portal. Like the team that they 85 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 4: had all season is going to be the team that 86 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 4: you play. I think there's a chance you're gonna see 87 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 4: some true freshmen playing against Navy in the defensive secondary 88 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 4: that that redshirted that did not play a snap all season, 89 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 4: and you're gonna probably see a couple of them out 90 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 4: there against Navy. That is I classify that as less 91 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 4: than ideal. Yes, so you know, it's it's not great, 92 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 4: But I think offensively they should still be fine. Most 93 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 4: of the other offensive line is going to be there, 94 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 4: Joe Royer's playing. My understanding is Cyrus Allen and Jeff 95 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 4: Caldwell are going to play. Well. You know, Brady Lichtenberg 96 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 4: is gonna that nobody deserves a shot more than Brady 97 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 4: Lichtenberg and he's gonna have most of his weapons. So 98 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 4: offensively they should be fine. But the question is do 99 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: we get to the end of the game and you 100 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 4: look and Navy's had forty five minutes in time of 101 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 4: possession and Cincinnati's had like fourteen and a half. 102 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 5: Ye are there any like is there a positive to 103 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 5: having some of those young guys play because they are 104 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 5: likely to come back next year? 105 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 4: Yeah? 106 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 5: Is it just one game and it doesn't matter that much? Like, 107 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 5: how is the stats viewing this game in terms of 108 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 5: like the development of those young players. 109 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 4: You're gonna get to see what you've got with quite 110 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 4: a few of them. You know, it's not a normal 111 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 4: game situation playing Navy, but you're gonna have seen them 112 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 4: for the fifteen Bowl practices. You're gonna get to see 113 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 4: what they look like in the game. You're gonna see 114 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 4: how they take to the coaching. You know that there 115 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 4: are definitely some advantages on defense with getting a look 116 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 4: at these young guys right as the portal opens, so 117 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 4: you're gonna get a better idea of what you have. 118 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 4: You know, there's some guys that I think you know, 119 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 4: like CJ. Krit at safety is a name that they 120 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 4: really love, and I think you know, after red shirting 121 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 4: all year, you're gon't get a chance to see what 122 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 4: you've gotten in CJ. Crit a little bit. You're gonna 123 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 4: get to look at at Daniel Jones at outside corner 124 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 4: a little bit more frequently. There's a red a guy 125 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 4: that red shirted this year named Patrick Williams, a corner 126 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 4: that they really like that you're gonna be able to 127 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 4: get a look at. So it's going to be beneficial 128 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 4: in you know, several of these instances where you don't 129 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 4: have to wait until spring, you know, to find out 130 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 4: what some of these guys are going to give you, 131 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 4: especially what are their practice habits, like how do they 132 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 4: handle going from you know, not playing a whole lot 133 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 4: to being thrown into the mix. So there is some 134 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 4: positive that can come from it. Again, the problem though, 135 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 4: is you're playing the triple option and Navy and I 136 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 4: don't know how much in the game you can take 137 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: from especially defensive backs that you're good to see how 138 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 4: they tackle, but not going to get to see a 139 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 4: whole lot of coverage, and you know, playing an advanced 140 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 4: like passing scheme by any stretch. 141 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: All right, basketball question for you went over Lipscomb last night. 142 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: Now the Big Twelve with Houston on Saturday, they play 143 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: eighteen Big Twelve games. If I were to give you 144 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: an over under on Big Twelve wins for UC, if 145 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: I just off the top of my head said seven 146 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: and a half, how would you feel about that number? 147 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 4: Well, if it was before Gizzl James came back, and 148 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 4: they have looked, especially offensively, significantly better with Gigsel James 149 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 4: on the floor, I would have laughed, taken under and 150 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 4: ran to the bank with whatever you allowed me to bet. Now, now, 151 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 4: I'd say, now that's probably in the right realm. Seven 152 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 4: to eight. I mean, I'd still the offense has just 153 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 4: been so inconsistent that I don't have a great feeling 154 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 4: that they get into that eight, nine, ten win range. 155 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 4: Yet it has been better, but it was so bad 156 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 4: for the first ten games that that has not left 157 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 4: my brain. So here's the other problem. Lance. They played 158 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 4: two seasons in the Big twelve. They won seven games 159 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 4: both times, one of them with a twenty game schedule. 160 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 4: Now they're going back to an eighteen game schedule. I'd 161 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 4: still probably take under, but at least I feel a 162 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: little bit better about things than I did two weeks ago. 163 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 2: Yet I want you to know you missed a golden 164 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: opportunity in the last ninety seconds to drop in a 165 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: six to seven and people would have gone crazy. 166 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 4: I could have, but they wore that out at the 167 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 4: game last night.
