16
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: need a week like it's it's generally, you know, the

17
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: the college beat, like you started the last week or

18
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 3: so of July and then you roll all the way

19
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: through until the NCAA tournament, and it's it's a lot

20
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: of it. There's a grind to it, and uh boy,

21
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: I'm ready. I'm hopefully you know what's gonna happen is uh,

22
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: they're gonna wait out the like the buy out for

23
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: Wes Miller and all that, and they're not gonna they're

24
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: gonna announce the coach on like April second. While I'm

25
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: in LA I can just send I can feel it.

26
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: I don't think that's really what happens, but that's that's

27
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: just generally, much like every time they change basketball coaches.

28
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: When the change is made, I am driving somewhere and

29
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: not able to to be right on it. It's very typical.

30
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: Happened again. I was like four minutes from the house,

31
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 3: Tea done, starts going crazy. We'll get to that. Wes

32
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: Miller is obviously out at the University of Cincinnati. I

33
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: know I covered that with Mo here on Friday. I'm

34
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: sure MO talked about it quite a bit Yesterday. I

35
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: will have continuing conversation, not just necessarily about Wes, but

36
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati job and an opportunity that, really think about it,

37
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: this program hasn't had since nineteen eighty nine, which is

38
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: wild to think. Nineteen eighty nine was the last time

39
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: that Cincinnati moved on from a coach without with the

40
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 3: reasoning just simply being performance related. Huggins, we know how

41
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: that played out, Uh, Mick took the UCLA job, Brandon

42
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: was fired, but it wasn't necessarily for on the court stuff.

43
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: And that brings us to today, nineteen eighty nine, and

44
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: now Cincinnati really gets to enter a normal hiring cycle.

45
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: So you remember Huggins was at the end of the

46
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: summer and Mick it took a little while for that

47
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: UCLA job to be filled, and Brandon was a couple

48
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: of weeks after the season as well. And what happens

49
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 3: is a lot of the coaches that are, you know,

50
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 3: the hot names that cycle, by the time Cincinnati has

51
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: been into the hiring process, those names are gone. They're

52
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: not an option. So the Bearcats have a rare opportunity

53
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: to kind of dictate the terms here of the way

54
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 3: that this goes. And they're also entering into a hiring

55
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: cycle where they are clearly one of the better jobs.

56
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: You can make arguments for a couple of the schools

57
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 3: that is Syracuse better. You know, is Providence a job

58
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: on equal footing of Cincinnati Kansas State before that got filled.

59
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: But anyway you slice it, Cincinnati is clearly one of

60
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: the best jobs on the market. You know, if you

61
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: looked at last year, they might have been seventh, eighth,

62
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: tenth in the pecking order when it comes to best

63
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: jobs that were available. So you have an opportunity where

64
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: you're in the cycle on time, you get to participate

65
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: from the jump, and you get the advantage of now

66
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 3: you're one of the better jobs available, You're in a

67
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: great conference. You maybe aren't, you know, overflowing with revenue,

68
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: but you have the revenue to be competitive in the

69
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: Big Twelve. And that's advantage Cincinnati. Now it's the job

70
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: of John Cunningham to utilize that advantage and make the

71
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 3: right move. And boy, I've been on the phone talking

72
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: to people from all over the college basketball industry over

73
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: the past four days, and there is a very very

74
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: strong consensus on how the sport thinks this is going

75
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: to play out. And that's with eyes directly pointed at

76
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: Utah State head coach Jared Calhoun, who worked here as

77
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 3: he was graduating college while Bob Huggins was here the

78
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: two thousand and three to zero four season. Worked with

79
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: Huggins at West Virginia director of basketball operations video coordinator.

80
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: His last year he was an assistant coach. So someone

81
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 3: that has climbed the Ranks is from the area from Ohio,

82
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: coached at Youngstown State graduate of Cincinnati, and his Utah

83
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: State team is one of the clearly best non Power

84
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: four teams going into this tournament. Now, they got a

85
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: brutal draw Villanova up first. Who I think that's gonna

86
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: be a really good game. But if you get past Villanova,

87
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: you get what most believe is the favorite going into

88
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: this thing, the number two overall seed. But with Duke

89
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: having a little bit of injury stuff that they're going through,

90
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: losing their point guard, the doors wide open for Arizona

91
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: to win this thing, and that's who Utah State would

92
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: very likely get in the second round. So all eyes on,

93
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: all eyes on Utah to see if that is where

94
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: this thing goes. And if it's not Jared Calhoun, then

95
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: things get interesting right right now, This coaching search is

96
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: a lot of hurry up and wait, because, like I said,

97
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: everybody in the industry thinks you see in Calhoun is

98
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: the match is the quote unquote perfect fit. We'll get

99
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: to we'll get to some bracket talk. How much did

100
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: you and Mow talk brackets yesterday? Tarn very little, very little? Okay, good?

101
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: Since I won't be back here tomorrow. I'm sure Mo

102
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: will talks on tomorrow. I won't be back here tomorrow.

103
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: By the time I'm here on Thursday, we're like in

104
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: the madness. We're elbows deep in madness by the time

105
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 3: I take the air on Thursday. So I'll give you

106
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: some of my bracket thoughts spread throughout the show as

107
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: I look at this and see how I think things

108
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: are gonna lay out. Uh, we're gonna get to a

109
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: bunch of Reds as well. Jeff Carr joins us at

110
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 3: three point thirty. I'm worried, legitimately worried about the Red

111
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: starting rotation going into opening day. Not supposed to worry

112
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 3: spring training. I hear you, I hear you, But I

113
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: only really feel good about the three guys so far

114
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: this spring fighting for the four and five spots in

115
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 3: the rotation. One of them's not gonna make it, and

116
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: that one could be the most talented guy. You're already

117
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: without Hunter Green, Andrew Rabbit has not had a good spring.

118
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: Nicolodolo hasn't had a good spring. Is a little better

119
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: than Andrew Rabbit, but the numbers are still concerning. Brady Singer.

120
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: I guess you could say Brady Singer looks like bra essentially.

121
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: Like that.

122
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 3: You know, where he's at is not too much of

123
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: a jump from kind of where you expect him to

124
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 3: be in the you know, in the middle of June, July, August, whatever.

125
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: But the problem is, coming into and through this off season,

126
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: all the way to the start of spring training, it

127
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: was widely understood that the starting pitching was going to

128
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 3: be expected to carry the heavy load for this franchise.

129
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: I don't feel great about that going into next Thursday

130
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: and the start of the season. And the problem I

131
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: have with that is, and maybe this is just residual

132
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 3: DNA damage, the problem I have with that is we

133
00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 3: have seen this team start really poorly in the too

134
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: distant past and essentially be out of contention by Mother's Day.

135
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 3: I want to feel better because I feel better about

136
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 3: the offense. I feel pretty good about the bullpen. But

137
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: the thing that was supposed to be the strength is

138
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: looking like maybe the weak link right now. And that

139
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: has to be concerning nine days out. So we'll talk

140
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: about that. We'll talk to Jeff Carr about that, and

141
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: then Bengals. The fan base is frustrated with the Bengals

142
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 3: for a lot of reasons. Most of those reasons have

143
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 3: been on display since the opening of free agency, because

144
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: while it feels like you should be pretty happy with

145
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: the addition of Brian Cook at safety and Boye Mafe

146
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 3: at defensive end and Jonathan Allen at defensive tackle, they

147
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: didn't feel fill their need at linebacker, and they really

148
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: didn't do anything to help booster the cornerback room, which

149
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 3: concerns me because like mel Kuiper, Melt Todd Todd Todd,

150
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 3: mount Mount Melt. Mel Kuiper came out with his mock

151
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: draft today and I have been seeing this name quite

152
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: a bit when when looking at the Bengals draft, and

153
00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: it has the Bengals going corner, and I look at

154
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 3: what the franchise has on defense, and I would say

155
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: the best position on defense that they have is corner.

156
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: Now there's a problem there. Neither of those guys are

157
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: signed long term, so DJ Taylor and Dax Hill are

158
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: in contract years now. The Bengals, I'm sure would like

159
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: to get that done, but those guys are the foundation

160
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 3: of your defense and there's nobody behind them, and you

161
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: don't have anybody to play the nickel at this point,

162
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 3: and you've gone through the vast majority of the free

163
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 3: agency segment. Now, sure, there's part guys out there, and

164
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: there's there's you know, guys that are gambling on themselves

165
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: or bet you know. I don't know if that's a

166
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: good thing to say in this day and age anymore,

167
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 3: but they're looking for a chance at redemption or to

168
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: raise their stock. But they're not proven impact type guys.

169
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: So now potentially the Bengals, with all of the questions

170
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: that they still have on defense, most people are picking

171
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: them or projecting them to pick mansor Delaney the cornerback

172
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: from LSU in a vacuum. Sure, that's a fine pick,

173
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: but it doesn't help you at linebacker. It doesn't help

174
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 3: you with pass rush on the outside or the interior.

175
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: It's not a you know, a guy that everybody feels

176
00:14:52,360 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 3: like is a surefire stud in Caleb Downs at safety.

177
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure Delaney's fine, but is he going to make

178
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: a huge difference in twenty twenty six because I've heard

179
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: the rumor is they're all in on twenty twenty six,

180
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: except they didn't fill all the needs that they acknowledged

181
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 3: in free agency, and they might be backed into a

182
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: corner in the draft to take somebody that might not

183
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: have much of an impact on the twenty twenty six

184
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: Bengals roster. Why do I feel like I'm about to

185
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: run into ned Ryerson? And if you get that, you're

186
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: just as old as me. Let's take a break. Let's

209
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: Andrew Abbott two innings, eight hits, eight runs, all of

210
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: them earned, three walks, three strikeouts, gave up one home

211
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 3: run e RA a thirteen point eight five this spring.

212
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 3: That's not good. That's not good. It doesn't feel like

213
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: Andrew Abbott is close. We are nine days away. Andrew

214
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: Abbot has one more one more spring training. Start to

215
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 3: get this right. We'll find out tonight if Nicolodolo is

216
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 3: on the upswing or is starting to get in form.

217
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: He's one in one on the spring. He has a seven.

218
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 4: ERA.

219
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 3: More concerning for me, in nine innings, he's given up

220
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: fourteen hits, seven walks, twenty one base runners in nine innings.

221
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: I guess you could say he's done a fairly good

222
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 3: job working around that and getting out of that, But

223
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: those are not numbers that you can rely on. You

224
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: go to the number three guy Brady singer nine innings,

225
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: twelve hits, five walks, seventeen batters in nine innings. His

226
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: whip is and I believe he had a hit batter

227
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: in there. So his whip is that two batters allowed

228
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 3: per inning without Hunter Green, the one, the two, and

229
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: the three are not rounding in to form. Yet Am

230
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: I losing my mind?

231
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 4: No?

232
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: Does it give me reason for concern? Yes, let's take

233
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 3: a break. Jeff Carr from Locked on Reds will join

234

249
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 3: saw this argument on the end Internet that this wasn't

250
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: the best verse in this song. And in fact they

251
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: said it wasn't this or Buster Rhymes or Doodoo Brown

252
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: or Q Tip. They're trying to tell me that the

253
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: best verse was the one right before q Tip, the

254
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 3: one in between Doodoo Brown and q Tip. I forget

255
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: who the guy is that does that one? The fact

256
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: that we forget the guy's name, right, Wow Brown? H today,

Speaker 3: by tribe called Quest.

272
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,200

Speaker 3: It's it's it's a it's an all time great song

274
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 3: and a groundbreaking music video as well. Back in the day,

275
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 3: and it was the debut of Busta Rhymes.

276
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 9: I listened to exclusively less than five verse songs.

277
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: You're only your four verse there's only four verses in

278
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: your I get it, I get it. Jeff Carr locked

279
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: on Rad's Jeff, I know it's early. I know it's

280
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: still spring training. I'm worried about the starting pitching as

281
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 3: we are nine days from the regular season. Is that fair?

282
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: I'm not in a panic, but I'm concerned a little bit.

283
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 3: Is that fair?

284
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 9: I think being concerned is okay. I wouldn't go too far, though.

285
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 9: I mean, like yesterday, it'd be easy to say, oh

286
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 9: my gosh, Andrew having.

287
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 4: A game up eight runs, Oh, this is horrible name

288
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 4: for me.

289
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 9: The infield that he played with, and how many of

290
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 9: those guys he's going to play with. It's even a

291
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 9: little bit this season. Nate Lowe's the only one. Second baseman.

292
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 9: Alexander Vargas had to look him up. Eric Hampson, he's

293
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 9: already been told he's not making the opening day Ross.

294
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 3: What did you find out when you look that guy up?

295
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: Uh, he's a player?

296
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 6: That was it?

297
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 3: Like, he plays baseball, that's what you know. He plays baseball, Okay?

298
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 4: Research and then PJ.

299
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 9: Higgins mostly catcher, first baseman, played a little bit of

300
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 9: third base yesterday. There were eight hits that he gave up.

301
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 9: Four of those were you know, legitimate hits, and four

302
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 9: of those were ground balls that found the outfield.

303
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 4: And how that game might have changed.

304
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 9: I mean, if we're really gonna look at statistics, because

305
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 9: I've seen some folks that are.

306
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 4: Like, boy, the stats don't look good.

307
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 9: Don't look at the stats when it comes to spring training.

308
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 9: There's just too much that goes into all of that.

309
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 9: And for me, it's all about about the health. It's

310
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 9: about the number of pitches. He got up to seventy

311
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 9: six I think yesterday, which I'll be even two innings.

312
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 9: You'd like you to be more. But at the same time, again,

313
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 9: don't look at the results. Look at make sure that

314
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 9: he's healthy, that he's feeling good. I'm still not that worried.

315
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 9: My eyebrow is cracked a little bit because we haven't

316
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 9: seen a good performance from him yet and where we've

317
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 9: seen good performances from Rut Louder and Chase Burns and

318
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 9: things like that, so it's like, Okay, at some point,

319
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 9: give me something good. But I'm still not going to

320
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 9: be that concern for him as of right now.

321
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 3: My biggest concern is he's given up twenty four hits

322
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: and seven walks thirty one base runners is concerning in

323
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 3: thirteen innings, like, yes, there are things that go into it,

324
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: and I completely understand that there's a lot of variance

325
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: in spring training. Thirty one base runners in thirteen innings

326
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 3: raises an eyebrow for a guy that's going to be

327
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: your opening day's daughter, that's all. And then the don'ts

328
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 3: encourage that you can? I please do? I need some He.

329
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 9: Has a batting average on balls and play against him

330
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 9: of almost five hundred. Lee average last year was two

331
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 9: eighty nine. He's getting super unlucky with the way that

332
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 9: it is feeling behind him is helping them, and I

333
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 9: believe that some of the other numbers his velocity is

334
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 9: very close to that that it always is during the regular.

335
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 4: Season, which is good to see.

336
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 9: You want to see that velocity get to where it

337
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 9: needs to be for him.

338
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 4: And then the other part.

339
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 9: Of that is he has the same swing and miss

340
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 9: with rate as we typically see him get during the

341
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 9: regular season. He's not a strikeout artist. He is a

342
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 9: guy that misses barrels, and so that part he hasn't

343
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 9: quite added to his arsenal yet because he's got an

344
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 9: average exit velocity over ninety five miles.

345
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 4: An hour and that's not great.

346
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 9: But I also think that the other stuff that's pointing

347
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 9: to him being ready to go for opening Day.

348
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: Is there a real world what what are the odds

349
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 3: that Burns starts this season in Louisville.

350
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 9: I don't think it's high. I know that there are

351
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 9: certain writers that cover the team that have already said

352
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 9: that he's not going to make the team, and there

353
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 9: are certain writers that have debumpd that one writer. But

354
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 9: when it comes to how he pitched recently, the whole

355
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 9: d load thing, as much as we've kind of joked

356
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 9: around about that word, that's the first time I've ever

357
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 9: heard that one. But yeah, d load it seems as

358
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 9: though he's still healthy, he's still good to go.

359
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 4: He did a.

360
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 9: Bullpen session on Wednesday that all reports were positive and

361
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 9: that he recovered well and that there's no issues, and

362
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 9: so I still think that he's going to start the season.

363
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 9: I don't think he's going to start the season in

364
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 9: the way that Terry Francona would prefer, but based as

365
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 9: not being here, he's going to be okay with four

366
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 9: innings from Chase Burns as opposed to picking the next

367
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 9: best option, because I still think that Chase Burns is

368
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 9: one of the five best starting pitchers on this team.

369
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 9: Even if Hunter Green were healthy.

370
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 3: Who out of then I guess louder and Williamson do

371
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 3: you think starts in Louisville.

372
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 4: I think Williamson does.

373
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 3: And even though he's been arguably the best pitcher in

374
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: spring training for the Reds.

375
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 9: Yes, because there's still been messaging that is consistent with

376
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 9: Williamson that is the same as what we've confusingly heard

377
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 9: around Burns, like everybody's worried about you know, well, they're

378
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 9: talking about range of motion and all this other stuff.

379
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 9: They still say that he's healthy, they still say that

380
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 9: he's good to go. He can still go through his

381
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 9: routine as he builds that up. One of the things

382
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 9: that Terry frank Coone said about Brandon Williamson is that

383
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 9: Brandon Williamson is still trying to get back into his

384
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 9: routine because, as Terry Francona put it in his own words,

385
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 9: he said, you know, he has good days and then

386
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 9: there are other days that are dot dot dot. He's

387
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 9: getting that back up and he's still getting used to

388
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 9: that routine. So's we're not saying as if one guy

389
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 9: is the picture perfect health and the other guy is.

390
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 9: It sounds like both guys are dealing with certain things

391
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 9: that either rookie pitchers deal with and they're not used

392
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 9: to the routines, or they've got lingering issues as in

393
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 9: Brandon Williams's case from his surgery, where he's still recovering

394
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 9: from that and he's still getting the confidence back in that.

395
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 9: So I don't think that it's a situation where it's

396
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 9: like one guy is more healthy than the other, as

397
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 9: it sometimes seems like you could read between the teelees

398
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 9: with that. Like spring training gets me so annoyed as

399
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 9: much as it excites me for the season, because I

400
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 9: feel like there's so much smoke that comes out of

401
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 9: any teams spring training can't much less just the Reds,

402
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 9: and so you kind of got to decipher all through that.

403
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 9: And to me, I've heard just as much questionable things

404
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 9: about Brandon Williamson and his arm as I have about

405
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 9: Chase Burns, And so for me, that means that it's

406
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 9: Burns and Louder filling out this opening the irritation.

407
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 3: Maybe he just needs to dload, which feels.

408
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 4: Like something every day.

409
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm just trying to work that into my everyday vocabulary.

410
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 3: It feels like something at like four am after like

411
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 3: you've had a sack of sliders in like fourteen beers.

412
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: You got to dload some of that.

413
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 9: There might be some people that are reloading after Saint Patty's.

414
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: Uh is Matt McClain the early favorite for MVPT.

415
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 9: Ellie Okay for sure, Okay, but no, I'm with you, Like, geez,

416
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 9: you can't be hotter than this.

417
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: SOPs is only one point seven to one.

418
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 9: Wait and if we're talking about Cactus League MVP, well

419
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 9: then yeah, it's definitely playing.

420
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: But a regular season, like full season like this, This

421
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: isn't This isn't a mirage, Like if if I'm going

422
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: to panic a little bit about Abbot, then I'm going

423
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: all in all the other way on the cleane. It's

424
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 3: only fair.

425
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: That's fair.

426
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: It's only fair.

427
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 10: No, that's fair.

428
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 9: And the way that he has looked is what is

429
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 9: exciting for me. Like, obviously the stats bear it out,

430
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 9: but dude looks so comfortable and so confident at the

431
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 9: plate and the way that he's getting these hits, like

432
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 9: it's been talked about quite.

433
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 4: A bit, but he continues to do it.

434
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 9: It wasn't as if it was a one off and

435
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 9: there was one really good spring training game where he

436
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 9: was hitting that outside breaking ball and then that disappeared.

437
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 9: It's period, full stop outside breaking ball that he swings at.

438
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 9: He makes contact with it. Now if it's a foul

439
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 9: ball or if it's a fair ball, sometimes that's different.

440
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 9: But he's not swinging over the top of it and

441
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 9: completely missing it like he did last year. He's changed

442
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 9: something in his approach at the plate that has created

443
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 9: this sort of comfortability that that looks like everything is

444
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 9: just coming to him right now, and as pitchers are

445
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 9: adjusting and getting ready for opening he usually about this

446
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 9: point we start to see a fall off, and so

447
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 9: that's the impressive part for me, is that that hasn't

448
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 9: happened yet for him, and so maybe he comes into

449
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 9: the season opening day, first couple of weeks of the

450
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 9: year and he's still every bit this hot, which would

451
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 9: be huge for the way that his season can take

452
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 9: for him, because we all want to see twenty twenty three.

453
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 9: But I think right now Matt McLean is telling you, hey,

454
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 9: maybe there's another level.

455
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 4: Guys, watch out. Well.

456
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 3: The number for me, Jeff is sure, He's had thirty

457
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: eight at bats, he's got twenty one heads, he's scored

458
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 3: fifteen runs, thirteen RBIs, six home runs, only four strikeouts

459
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 3: is the bigger one for me?

460
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 6: Is that fair?

461
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 4: Well?

462
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 9: And take that even a step further. I think he

463
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 9: has more home runs than he has swings and misses,

464
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 9: so it's like pretty some of those strikeouts were just

465
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 9: like fouled off and then looking at strike three.

466
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 3: It's pretty good. Yeah, I'll take that. If he can

467
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 3: do that all year, he.

468
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 9: Has been phenomenal. And then you know, we always talk

469
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 9: about best shape of their lives. He was another guy

470
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 9: that they said over the offseason added like ten pounds

471
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 9: of muscle, so it's like, yes, he's stilling out.

472
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: I did not add ten pounds of muscle this offseason.

473
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: I might have added ten pounds, but there was no

474
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 3: there's no muscle involved. How encouraged before I let you go?

475
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: How encouraged are you that the offense has looked as

476
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: good as it has and we haven't seen au Hanio

477
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 3: Suarez in a couple of weeks, Like they're doing this

478
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 3: without him right now.

479
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 9: Super encouraging And for me, Chad, the most encouraging part

480
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 9: out of all of this was the other day there

481
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 9: was a sequence in which Ellie de la Cruz walked,

482
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 9: stole second, and then scored on a South Stuart single.

483
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 9: It wasn't some other worldly just absolute blasts over the.

484
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 4: Scoreboard of the batter's eye or something like that.

485
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 9: It was a simple bing bang boom bringing in Because

486
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 9: that is what Ellie can do on a consistent enough

487
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 9: basis that every single team has to take notice of it.

488
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 9: At some point, his swing is going to slow down

489
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 9: to a point that he's got to adjust or hit

490
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 9: or other pitchers are going to find somewhere that they

491
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 9: can drop in a breaking ball or something like that.

492
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 9: But if he is running other teams absolutely have to

493
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 9: game plan for that, and it's clear that Ellie is

494
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 9: one hundred percent healthy and ready to go with that.

495
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 9: I love what I've seen from him in this spring.

496
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 3: You got tonight the USA or Venezuela.

497
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 4: I think it depends on if Gino starts.

498
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 9: It's been kind of weird how they play their lineup

499
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 9: since sell Door Perez Dhs as well as au Hainosuarez

500
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 9: and then their third basement is mikel Garcia. So I

501
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 9: think that if if Gino starts, it's going to be tough,

502
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 9: man like. There's some sort of moxie with that lineup

503
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 9: with him involved, and I think we're going to see

504
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 9: that maxie with the Reds. But I think that ultimately

505
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 9: USA gets it done because Aaron Judge has been and

506
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 9: I think he finally wakes up.

507
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: All right, appreciate it, man, maybe, Uh, I'm not sure.

508
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: When I think I'm back on opening day, you're probably

509
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 3: gonna be busy.

510
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 9: Then, yeah, it might be a little bit this for sure. No, man,

527
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 3: Here we go our number two, The Moegar Show. Chad Brenda,

528
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 3: Bearcat Journal dot Com filling in not Moegar. We'll be

529
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 3: back tomorrow. Then I'll be here Thursday and Friday. I

530
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 3: am I'm here every year on Thursday and Friday for

531
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 3: the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament. Of course,

532
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: we'll talk Reds and we'll talk Bengals. But really what

533
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 3: we do is we just watched the afternoon games together,

534
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 3: talk about what's happening in day one. Generally, I think

535
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 3: day one is always the catalyst for how the rest

536
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 3: of the tournament goes, because if you start to get

537
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 3: some upsets early on day one, I feel like it

538
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 3: mentally teams lock in a little bit more like, oh,

539
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: we gotta be you gonna be dialed in in this,

540
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 3: you know for thirteen game. We gotta be locked in

541
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 3: in the five to twelve because we're seeing some upsets

542
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 3: happen and then and then the course corrects. If you

543
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 3: get through that morning session kind of chalk, then it

544
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: feels like to me, things get a little a little

545
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 3: wild Thursday night and into Friday. We're gonna talk brackets,

546
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 3: the good news, no more ask the rest of the way.

547
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 3: Jeffff car from locked on reds Our only guests for today,

548
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 3: So phone lines are open. I want to hear from you.

549
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 3: I want to hear who you've got winning the NCAA

550
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 3: Basketball Tournament. As of right now, I haven't filled out

551
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: my official bracket yet. Typically tend to do that Thursday morning,

552
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 3: late morning before I come in here, just so that

553
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 3: you have all the information. You never know who's going

554
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: to be arrested with two pounds of marijuana in their apartment.

555
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: You never know. Tarn Aiden Holloway for Alabama, he's going

556
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 3: through an internal review at the University of Alabama. He

557
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: is not with the basketball team right now. That's a

558
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 3: pretty big piece for NATO's and his Alabama team. So

559
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: you know you want to wait. You don't want to

560
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 3: submit on Tuesday. If you don't have to wait until

561
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 3: Thursday eleven o'clock, eleven thirty, right before the games kick

562
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: off twelve fifteen, and that way you have pretty much

563
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 3: all of the information. Right now, I'm leaning Arizona, Duke

564
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 3: and Michigan are outstanding. Duke lost their starting point guard,

565
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 3: Michigan lost their backup point guard. Those two teams haven't

566
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 3: looked quite as dominant. They're still very good, but they

567
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 3: haven't looked quite as dominant after those injuries. So that's

568
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 3: something I'll be keeping an eye on. Not necessarily in

569
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: the early rounds, but as you get into the sweet sixteen,

570
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: the Elite eight, something like that can swing a game.

571
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: So that's something I will have my eye on. How

572
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 3: about the biggest story in Cincinnati sports that not a

573
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 3: lot of people are talking about. Tarran and that is

574
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 3: Quentin Coats. Are you familiar with Quinton Coates Arran No.

575
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 3: Quentin Coates is an infielder for the University of Sinceincinnati,

576
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 3: Cincinnati has played. They're in the midst of playing their

577
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 3: twenty second game this baseball season. Quinton Coats just homered

578
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 3: for the fifteenth time in twenty one and a half games.

579
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: He is currently leading all of college baseball in home runs.

580
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 3: Daniel Jackson of Georgia has fourteen, Colin Ritchie of Oklahoma

581
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: State has thirteen. Quinton Coates of the Cincinnati Bearcats has

582
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 3: fifteen home runs. You know what was? They're playing Utah

583
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 3: Valley right now out in Utah Terran Utah Valley. This

584
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 3: entire game has been pulling an infielder and playing four

585
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: outfielders against Clinton Coats. They're going with the softball alignment

586
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 3: and playing four out fielders, trying to slow down Quinton Coates.

587
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 3: The problem, Tarn is that they're not allowed to play

588
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 3: on the other side of the fence because that's where

589
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: Clinton Coats balls are usually landing. So far this season,

590
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 3: fifteen home runs in twenty one and a half games.

591
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 3: You see as leading six to three in that one

592
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 3: in the bottom of the eighth one of the uh

593
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 3: one of the best starts in program history for Jordan

594
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 3: Bischel and the Bear cuts. Let's get out to the phone.

595
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 3: So I'm going to promote the phones today. Today's the

596
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 3: day if you want to call in. I know you're

Speaker 3: be watching the games. If you want to call in,

599
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 3: get your takes on the NCAA tournament, get your takes

600
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 3: on Wes Miller being let go, and what Cincinnati should

601
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 3: do next. Phone lines are open five, one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen,

602
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 3: thirty are worried about the Reds starting pitching. Jeff Carr says,

603
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 3: don't panic. Hold the course you can. It's okay to

604
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 3: be a little concerned, but not to panic. And then

605
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 3: we're also going to get to some Bengals and how

606
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 3: they can pull off that they've they've managed to pull

607
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 3: off tarn getting three guys that feel like they're gonna

608
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 3: make a pretty big impact in free agency, and for

609
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 3: everybody feeling like they still kind of screwed this up.

610
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 3: That's hard to do. It's hard to do, but somehow

611
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 3: they've done it. Let's go out to Dick and dayon Dick,

612
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: how are you my friend?

613

Speaker 3: Happy?

00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 4: Whatever it is?

616
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 3: It's Saint Patrick's Day. Yeah, yeah, I was.

617
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 11: Just down at my little place. They had a lot

618
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 11: of poor derbs and things. But you're right about uh

619
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 11: sort of. But I'm watching a little bit. But I'm

620
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 11: still They couldn't get Miami in Oxford. It has to

621
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 11: be the team, don't they How many games they won

622
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 11: this year?

623
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's remarkable. I don't love their matchup

624
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 3: with SMU and tomorrow night up there, But if you know,

625
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 3: it's fantastic to win thirty one games in a season.

626
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 3: I don't care how you do it. I don't care

627
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 3: like the way with which it was accomplished to manage

628
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: to go thirty one and zero. If it was easy,

629
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 3: everybody would do it. And it's something that I mean,

630
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: it hasn't happened in a long time, and it probably

631
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 3: won't happen in a long time after this.

632
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 4: No, No, And you know, I'm thinking a life. I

633
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 4: love Jeff Carr.

634
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 11: He's great talking about don't panic about the Reds, right, Yeah,

635
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 11: They're gonna be pretty good this year.

636
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 4: I think.

637
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: I think if the starting pitching holds up. They have

638
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 3: a chance to be pretty good.

639
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah they do.

640
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 4: But I just saw a chick in appreciated.

641
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 9: Dick.

642
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 3: You have a great day. Enjoy your Saint Patty's day.

643
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 11: Yeah you too, buddy.

Speaker 3: to some n CUAA tournament. Jim, how are you?

649
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 12: I'm doing all right, man? How you doing?

650
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 3: I mean I get to talk on the radio and

651
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 3: get paid for it, So I'm doing pretty good. Man. Like,

652
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 3: there's a lot worse things.

653
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 12: Not a bad gig. Not a bad gig. I'm not

654
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 12: I'm not being paid for this phone call.

655
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 3: Jackson the mail brother checks in the mail.

656
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 12: Right right, So I got I got Arizona going all

657
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 12: the way. Uh, that's kind of just how the chips

658
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 12: fell in my bracket. But I really like to see

659
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 12: either Miami or Wright State make a little bit of noise.

660
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 12: Right State. I don't think he's ever won in the tournament.

661
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 12: Now they're playing Virginia, so I don't think it's gonna happen.

662
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 12: But you know, crazier things have happened. So we'll see what.

663
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:08,919
Speaker 12: We'll see how it goes.

664
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 3: I mean that that fourteen three has kind of become

665
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 3: the new five twelve, right, Like there's been quite a

666
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 3: few fourteen threes over the years. Virginia's good. I like

667
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 3: their coach. I don't think Virginia is insurmountable. Like if

668
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 3: it's a day the right state's hitting, you know, obviously

669
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 3: for the mid majors, you've got to make threes if

670
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 3: you're gonna to make some noise, and uh, you know,

671
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 3: I think I don't think it's completely out of the

672
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 3: realm of possibility.

673
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, we'll see, We'll see how it goes.

674
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 12: That's the fun of it.

675
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, the hard part, the hard part for Miami

676
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 3: is like you got to get through SMU, which you know,

677
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 3: SMUs ninety one on defense. So there's gonna be some

678
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 3: opportunity for Miami to make shots again, have to have

679
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 3: the three point shot falling, have to you know, play

680
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 3: play your game, play your style. The question I think

681
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 3: you're you're going to have is is can they handle

682
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 3: what a power conference team looks like on the interior,

683
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 3: because it's just not Miami's strength.

684
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 12: No, No, they've been holding on for dear life for

685
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 12: about a month now.

686
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 4: You know.

687
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 12: They they barely won some games and then they lost.

688
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 12: So yeah, and they and they don't look like you know,

689
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 12: if you the I Test, compare them to a team

690
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 12: you know that's actually going to win in the tournament.

691
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 10: There, they're not.

692
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 12: They're not there.

693
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 3: The name to watch for s and U tomorrow night

694
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: ye Cemet Yiga Toglu.

695
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 6: You got that one.

696
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 3: He's seven foot two, seven to two hundred and seventy pounds.

697
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 3: His effective field goal percentage this season sixty two point four.

698
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 3: That's that's big time. That's big time. He's shooting uh

699
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,919
Speaker 3: sixty two. He hasn't taken He's taken one to three

700
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,720
Speaker 3: all year. He's shooting sixty two percent from the floor.

701
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,479
Speaker 3: Miami's gonna have to figure out how to weigh a way,

702
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 3: how to slow down a guy that's seven to two

703
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy pounds and shoots sixty two point seven

704
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 3: percent on his shots.

705
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,479
Speaker 12: Well, defensively, getting shot off in the interior is gonna

706
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 12: be in a shoot game?

707
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you got you got a seven two.

708
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 3: But they don't really they they do get some shots

709
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 3: at the rim. You know, they they're a good two

710
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 3: point shooting team, but they're not really a team that's

711
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 3: gonna like throw it in the post and rely on

712
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 3: like a back to the basket post score. They're gonna

713
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 3: try to spread you out, shoot the three, and then

714
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 3: drive the gaps more often than not. So there is

715
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 3: a chance there that they have to do a good

716
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 3: job shooting the three. And the good news there is

717
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 3: SMU is only one hundred and seventy fourth in the

718
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 3: country and defending the three point shot. So get hot,

719
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 3: maybe get hot, that's.

720
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 12: What it's all about. Yep, Yeah, so real quick though,

721
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 12: I did want to mention, you know, from the baseball perspective,

722
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 12: last year in Fantasy baseball, a team or you know,

723
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 12: I was in a group and the guy ahead of me,

724
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 12: Matt McClean with his first overall pick, and I made,

725
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 12: I propeeded to make fun of him the entire year

726
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 12: into the offseason, through kill spring training. And now I'm

727
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 12: thinking to myself, maybe I need to draft Matt McClean

728
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 12: early on in the draft. And it sounds to me like, yeah,

729
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 12: he's figured he's figure something out.

730
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 3: I hope it sustains what I'm terrified of is that,

731
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 3: I mean, he's been hot for three weeks, Like eventually, Jim,

732
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 3: You're just the nature of baseball. Eventually that hot streak

733
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 3: cools off a little. I just pray it doesn't cool

734
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 3: off as soon as they get to Cincinnati and the

735
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 3: weather drops and they're not playing in ninety five degree

736
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 3: Arizona anymore. They're playing in fifty nine degree Cincinnati. So

737
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 3: hopefully the good news is he's making good contact, he's

738
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 3: not striking out a ton. He's got that. You know.

739
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 3: One of the things I loved about him, and even

740
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 3: from you know, when he was a college prospect, he

741
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 3: just had a level easy swing that didn't exist last year.

742
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 3: Last year it looked like he was laboring a ton.

743
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 3: He looks much much better in terms of his balance,

744
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 3: his swing back to the ball, not getting fooled, having

745
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 3: a better read on pitchers. Hopefully it maintains. I mean,

746
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 3: obviously he's not gonna hit five hundred and slug seventeen hundred,

747
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 3: but if he's a guy that's in that three to

748
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 3: twenty range, his slugging hangs around eight hundred, like this

749
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 3: can be a much much better offense than we saw

750
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 3: last year.

751
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 12: It makes all the difference in the world. And I

752
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 12: think with the improved bullpen and I think the pitching

753
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 12: is going to come around. But as you get Ellie

754
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 12: back to doing the fundamental stuff well and throwing China,

755
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 12: I think I think we have a chance to compete.

756
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 3: I agree, appreciate the call, Jim.

757
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 4: Thanks.

758
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 3: All right, there you go. Let's take a break. We'll

00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 13: And there hasn't been anybody and been anybody in my

804
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 13: house for over two months, and I don'tly have any pets.

805
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 13: The place is immaculate. It's a half a block from

806
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 13: the beach in Dana Point and you can see the

807
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 13: ocean from the house.

808
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 10: You just gotta walk down to the damn beach. And

809
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 10: he could stay there for free. Always got a douce flying. Well,

810
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 10: if you could fly into John Wayne Airport in Orange County,

811
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,240
Speaker 10: you could be down at the house in twenty minutes.

812
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 10: But if you're gonna fly to Lax, you're gonna drive

813
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 10: an hour and a half to get there. That's all right,

814
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 10: So think about it, Teren. You run a car, you

815
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 10: got a free place to stay.

816
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 4: Man, it's like.

817
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 3: A it's like a fifty two hour drive from Cincinnati,

818
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,479
Speaker 3: So I can handle the hour and a half from Lax. Yeah,

819
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 3: I made that drive, Mike there and back. I drove

820
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 3: there here to La and back by myself.

821
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I've done that's a bunch of times.

822
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 3: It's not fun. It's not a fun I don't mind

823
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 3: driving that was not enjoyable.

824
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 10: Well, well, I you know, the long trip about that

825
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 10: cross country to me is once you get west of

826
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 10: the Rockies, once you get west to Denver, it all

827
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 10: gets really beautiful in different countries. Once you're east of

828
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 10: Denver and you're into Kansas and the Midwest, nothing, it

829
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 10: all looks it's nothing special, not really.

830
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: It's long.

831
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 3: It's a long drive to nothing. I did on the

832
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 3: way out there. This was in nineteen ninety nine. I

833
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 3: drove out there. I started my drive the day Yukon

834
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 3: won the National championship. So I listened to the Yukon

835
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine National Championship on my way out there.

836
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 3: And then I stopped in Flagstaff. I had a buddy

837
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 3: who I lived with in La He knew some people

838
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 3: on flag Staff went to flag staf half partied in

839
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 3: Flagstaff that night. It was like a like a you know,

840
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,919
Speaker 3: perfect like forty five degree night in the mountains and

841
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 3: we went to Yeah, we went to bed. We woke

842
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 3: up there was eight inches of snow on the ground.

843
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, because you're up high. Yeah, I don't know,

844
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 10: eight thousand feet nine thousand.

845
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 3: It was way up there. The one thing, the coolest

846
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 3: thing I think we did there was they have lava caves,

847
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 3: so and you know, like literally it was a hole

848
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 3: in the ground, not like a cave entrance, but like

849
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 3: a hole in the ground and you go in this

850
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 3: hole in the ground and it opens up and we

851
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 3: probably spent like four or five hours walking around in

852
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,439
Speaker 3: the lava caves. Those are really cool.

853
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's really That's why I say, why don't you

854
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 10: get west of the Rockies. It's a whole different country, geographically,

855
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 10: completely different country. Well, Matt McClean, you know he's got

856
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 10: two brothers that play hard ball as well.

857
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 3: Are they UCLA?

858
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 14: We're pretty good, are they?

859
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 3: UCLA?

860
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 10: No went to Long Beach Steak. Fact, Matt actually went

861
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 10: to Long Beach Steak for about a year. I think. Okay,

862
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 10: I think he did. He's got a little brother and

863
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 10: an older brother. But he ain't gonna hit three twenty.

864
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 10: What are you know he hit three twenty.

865
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 3: I'm telling you there were three.

866
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 10: Guys that hit over three hundred in both leagues. You

867
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 10: tell him he's gonna hit over three hundred.

868
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 3: I think he can be a three hundred if the

869
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 3: strikeout stay down. That's what I'm That's the angle that

870
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 3: I'm talking about here. He's only struck out four times

871
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 3: this spring, the way that he makes contact. If he

872
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 3: can keep those strikeout numbers down, I think three to

873
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 3: twenty might be a little bit much. But I think

874
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,479
Speaker 3: he's a guy that has the swing to hit around

875
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 3: three hundred. I really do think he has that type

876
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 3: of swing.

877
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's got that short compact swing. I mean, I'm

878
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 10: no hitting coach, I don't know, but he does have

879
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 10: a short compact swing because he's a short compact guy. Yeah,

880
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 10: and sometimes that's better than when you're tall facing these

881
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 10: these pictures these days, at these excessive speech, I'll tell

882
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 10: you after show Hey, show Hay was so dejected that

883
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 10: they got deep. But he came on the radio in

884
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 10: La on the TV and said, look, I'm dedicating every

885
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 10: ounce of my strength to us repeating this year I've

886
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 10: disappointed my home country. I mean, this guy took this

887
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 10: to heart like you would not believe. And uh and

888
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 10: so watch out for show Hay this year. Brother, he

889
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 10: might just be unleashed.

890
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 3: I woke.

891
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 10: What you got? WoT that starting rotation see, the Reds

892
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 10: got the young guys, the Dodgers got the older guys,

893
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 10: young Lamoto, Sazaki, Glass, now Snell, shoe Hay, and then

894
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 10: she hand him Gavin Stone. I'll take the old guys

895
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 10: from right now. Snell's a little bit banged up. He's

896
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 10: going to miss his first start the tend he's going

897
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 10: to be back, So I'll take the older guys that. Uh,

898
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 10: I don't know what's up with the Reds pitchers. They're

899
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 10: always hurt or something's wrong, or something's goofy. It just

900
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 10: doesn't make sense to me, does it, do you?

901
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 3: No? I you know, it's kind of falls in the

902
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 3: is what it is? Category right now?

903
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 10: Yeah? Okay, what else can I get to? Can I

904
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 10: get to the bracket?

905
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 4: Real quick?

906
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 6: Sure?

907
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 10: Virginia is a three seed?

908
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 4: Is a joke?

909
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 10: Virginia, Come on, man, that seems they really the ACC is.

910
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 10: They're certainly, at best the fourth best conference in the country.

911
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 10: They may not even be that they're four.

912
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 3: They're better than the Big East for just having do

913
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 3: it makes you better? The Big East is well, the

914
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 3: Big East has three teams and then there is a

915
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 3: drastic drop off to everybody else. And Virginia's twenty seven

916
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 3: on offense, sixteen on defense, and can bomb.

917
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 10: I know, I just don't see it because whenever I

918
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 10: watch them, they just don't do nothing for me. I

919
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 10: think Florida laid down a little bit, and that Vanderbilt game,

920
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 10: I really do. I think they were tired, and I

921
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 10: would not be surprised if they thought, well, you know,

922
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 10: we're gonna give give it whatever we give it, but

923
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 10: we know we're going to be one or two anyway.

924
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 10: So who cares? Because Vandy should not have beat them

925
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 10: like that.

926
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 3: There is no way Vandy. But I think I think

927
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 3: it goes back to Vandy can be dangerous because they've

928
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 3: got two really good, creative guards that can score. You know,

929
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 3: they they're the type of team in March. I don't

930
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 3: love Vandy per se, But if you're looking at like,

931
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 3: who's a team in March that could get to a

932
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 3: Sweet sixteen, maybe push for an Elite eight, it's usually

933
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 3: teams that have really, really good guards that can carry

934
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 3: their team over a weekend into a second weekend. You know,

935
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 3: Vandy's guards played awesome in Nashville.

936
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 10: Oh yeah they did. Now let me ask you this

937
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 10: about guards. I don't know. You may disagree. I have

938
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 10: never seen a head coach that's better at coaching up

939
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 10: guards than John calla party. This guy is unbelievable coaching guards.

940
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 10: This a Cup kid may be the best player in

941
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 10: the country, Peterson, whatever, you haven't shown me any anything.

942
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 10: This a Cup kid is incredible.

943
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 3: Chad so yes, Kyl is great at coaching up guards.

944
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 3: He's also great at identifying elite traits in a point guard.

945
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 3: Like elite, he's so good at being able to see

946
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 3: it because I mean, go look at the NBA, Like

947
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this today and I didn't have

948
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 3: time to do the actual legwork on it. How many

949
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 3: NBA teams have a Kentucky starting point guard?

950
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 10: Quite a few.

951
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it's an absurd I heard somebody heard somebody back,

952
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 3: you know, going into the All Star break that were

953
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 3: they were kind of joking around. They pitched this idea.

954
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 3: They said, what if I gave you this team and

955
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 3: they named off a bunch of names, plays against this team,

956
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 3: and they named off a bunch of names, and plays

957
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 3: against this team, and play and named off a bunch

958
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 3: of names. And the three groups were USA, World, Kentucky.

959
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 3: And when they said all the names, you were like damn,

960
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 3: Kentucky could compete Gil just Alexander and Towns and Anthony

961
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 3: Davis and Maxie and like you go on down the list,

962
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 3: like that Kentucky team could play with the USA team

963
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 3: or the world team. Yeah, he acus unbelievable.

964
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 10: He is unbelievable. And he seems much more mature than

965
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 10: his age. Yes, that's what I'm seeing when he's on

966
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 10: the court. But that season, I always learned when I

967
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 10: talk to you, because you just brought up to what

968
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 10: the more of an idiosyncrasy about the guard thing on

969
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 10: how he knows how to bring the things out of

970
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 10: these kids their strengths, And I didn't know that. So

971
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 10: every time I talk to you, I learned something about

972
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 10: especially about basketball. So I appreciate that.

973
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 3: Thank you, Mike.

974
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 10: One last question, Well, Arizona, how.

975
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 3: About this, Mike? How about this I'm looking at I'm

976
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:18,919
Speaker 3: looking at ken Palm right now, Mike.

977
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 10: Yep.

978
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 3: They have one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,

979
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:32,439
Speaker 3: nineteen twenty. They have twenty one statistics that they rate

980
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 3: like nationally Okay, one two, three, four, five, six, seven

981
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 3: eight nine, ten, eleven. A Cuff is in the top

982
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 3: five hundred nationally and twelve of the twenty statistics. That's

983
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 3: more than I've ever seen from anybody as offensive rating,

984
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 3: percentage of possessions, percentage of shots, effective field goal percentage,

985
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 3: total shooting percentage, assist rate, turnover rate, fouls drawn per

986
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 3: forty minutes, free throw percentage, and three point percentage. He's

987
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 3: one of the best players in the country in every

988
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 3: one of those categories. That is incredible for a point guard.

989
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 10: Wow, you're beautiful with his knowledge. Now, where did he

990
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 10: grow up? He's not from Arkansas.

991
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 3: I believe he's from Detroit, Okay. I think the first

992
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 3: time I saw he played for an AAU team called

993
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 3: the Family out of Detroit legendary AAU program, and I

994
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 3: started watching him, I think his freshman going into his

995
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 3: sophomore year. And do you know the name Trey McKenny.

996
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, only because I've heard you mention it.

997
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 3: He's a backup. He's a backup off, the really important

998
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 3: piece off the bench for Michigan. Those two were the

999
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 3: starting guards for the Family for four years, three four years,

1000
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 3: so I've seen them up.

1001
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 10: Who's not the one that's heard it.

1002
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 3: He's a backup for no, no, no, mckennie's healthy.

1003
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 10: Okay, last question, thank John's Well, I think I think

1004
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 10: Patino got host a little bit player this nighter here

1005
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 10: in there. He's not. That's not gonna bother him because

1006
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 10: he's the best coach in America in my opinion, it's

1007
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 10: not even close. But and so he's got to play

1008
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 10: on the East Coast then go back to the West

1009
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 10: Coast and come back. That's not going to bother him.

1010
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 10: He's not even gonna mention that to his team, you know,

1011
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 10: he's not. But that front line that they've got, Chad,

1012
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 10: if those guys aren't men amongst boys, I've never seen it.

1013
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 3: They're really good. I mean ever since they put Dylan

1014
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 3: Mitchell into that starting unit. I mean they're huge. They

1015
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 3: start six nine six seven, six eight, and.

1016
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 10: They're and they're sick. Yeah, you know what I mean.

1017
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 10: These guys look like glown ups. They look like they're

1018
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 10: in definitely NBA guys. So well, do you give them

1019
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 10: much of a shot or not because of where they're

1020
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 10: seated in the.

1021
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 3: Problem isn't the seating as much it is as it's

1022
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 3: just offensively. One of those Knights is gonna catch up

1023
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 3: to them. They're they're two sixteen and three point shooting,

1024
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 3: they're one ninety and two point shooting, they're one seventy

1025
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 3: eight in free throw shooting. They they they rebound it.

1026
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 3: They don't turn it over a whole lot. So those

1027
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 3: two things help mitigate that sum because they get more

1028
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 3: possessions because they don't turn it over, and they're really

1029
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 3: good on the offensive glass. But at some point you're

1030
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 3: gonna play a team that shoots it well no matter

1031
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 3: how well you play defense, and that worries me. With

1032
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 3: a team with their offensive profile, and.

1033
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 10: They're always gonna you're always gonna play good defensive. Patino's

1034
01:05:58,520 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 10: the coach. They're no pesssionate about that.

1035
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 3: But you know, at time you're in the NCAA tournament

1036
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 3: in college basketball has changed drastically. You are going to

1037
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 3: play a team or two that make shots. Even if

1038
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 3: you play great defense, do you have the offense to

1039
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 3: overcome it? And I just worry they'll run into you know,

1040
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 3: one of those nights where is their path?

1041
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 10: It's not good.

1042
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 3: I mean Northern Iowa, Northern ioware they can beat Kansas

1043
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 3: is like that. You know, if if Peterson has a

1044
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 3: night like that, there's there's very little you can do

1045
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 3: to stop him. And then they've got Duke potentially if

1046
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 3: they make it to the Sweet sixteen cam Boozer. You know,

1047
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 3: he's just a rock like he's one of those he's

1048
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 3: like a it's like a smaller kind of like Tim Duncan.

1049
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 3: If that makes sense to you in terms of he

1050
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 3: he makes the right play. He's not flashy, he's not

1051
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 3: gonna wow you. But then you look up and he's

1052
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 3: got twenty two points and eleven rebounds and five assists

1053
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 3: and you're like, damn, that guy impacts winning in a

1054
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:14,439
Speaker 3: major way.

1055
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 10: That's a great analogy with Tim Duncan.

1056
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 4: You are the best.

1057
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 10: You know what, You're just the best.

1058
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 14: I tell you are the best.

1059
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 10: Thank you, you are the freaking best. And he's Mick

1060
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 10: gonna do anything in the tournament and then I'm out

1061
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 10: of here.

1062
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 3: Uh. I think they beat UCF Mick versus Danny in

1063
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 3: round two. I tell you what, Yukon has played a lot,

1064
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 3: a lot of close games with teams that they are

1065
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 3: significantly better than. If you see LA's healthy, don't tell Danny.

1066
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 3: I said this, don't tell. But if you see LA's

1067
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 3: healthy and Donovan Dent plays like he's played the past

1068
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 3: two three weeks. You see, La could make the Sweet sixteen.

1069
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 10: I hope Mick makes it.

1070
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 15: Man.

1071
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, Danny, but I know you like the best.

1072
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 3: I'm torn there because I love, genuinely love both of

1073
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 3: those guys. They're great.

1074
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 10: I know you.

1075
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 3: Just take care of my ball, right, Thanks, Mike, appreciate it.

1076
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,720

Speaker 15: I'm at ezelic with traffic fifteen thirty.

1093
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 3: I haven't talked to the people in a lot. Let's

1094
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 3: go to Josh wants to talk to March Madness. What's up, Josh,

1095
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 3: I'm great you.

1096
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 16: I can't complaint. Uh lest a full disclosure Buckeye fan.

1097
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 16: And I'm talking to a guy that covers Big twelve basketball?

1098
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,520
Speaker 16: So what can you tell me about TCU?

1099
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 3: Very physical they are, they're a big twelve team. But

1100
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 3: but remember Jamie Dixon was it pitt for a long time.

1101
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 3: Think of like his old kind of Dewan Blair. Pittsburgh

1102
01:09:54,240 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 3: teams two really physical active forwards one sixth. They go

1103
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 3: six seven two forty five, six eight two forty six.

1104
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 3: They they really gave Cincinnati problems with their physicality. Defensively,

1105
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 3: they like to high hedge and kind of blitz double

1106
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 3: team ball screens. They try to push your guards out

1107
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 3: and make you try to run your offense from twenty

1108
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,639
Speaker 3: four to twenty five feet instead of you know, twenty

1109
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 3: feet right around the three point line. So the thing is, though,

1110
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 3: if you can move the ball and you can stay

1111
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 3: ahead of what they're trying to do with the pass.

1112
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 3: They give up one of the highest assist rates in

1113
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 3: the country, so you're gonna get open looks if you

1114
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 3: don't let them trap you and turn it over offensively.

1115
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 3: It's kind of rock fight ish. They don't shoot really

1116
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 3: well from the three. Got a couple guys that can

1117
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 3: make it, but they don't shoot a lot of threes either,

1118
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 3: so they're going to try to get the ball on

1119
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 3: the rim, offense, rebounded, beat you, you know, in the paint,

1120
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 3: and with second chance points. I like their point guard

1121
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 3: Jaden Pierre, New York City kid, tough, good defender, but

1122
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 3: they're they're one of those teams that like the kind

1123
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 3: of an acquired taste. If you watch them once or twice,

1124
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 3: they don't blow you away, but the more you watch them,

1125
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 3: you're like, Okay, I see how Jamie's got this working

1126
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,880
Speaker 3: this year. How's that?

1127
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 16: Either way, it's great the late nine matchup, and then

1128
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 16: unfortunately it's the very first game on Thursdays.

1129
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of this will be at work and

1130
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 4: we'll be able to catch it.

1131
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,640
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Well, you could listen to this show and or

1132
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 3: well that Tony and Tony and Austin and then I'll

1133
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 3: be on at three to tell you about it. How's

1134
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 3: that stuff?

1135
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 4: Like a date?

1136
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 2: They and I'm with you, uh, with a lot of

1137
01:11:59,520 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 2: your call.

1138
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 16: I think Arizona's that a front runner here, They're They're

1139
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 16: who I'm picking to take home the whole thing.

1140
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 3: So here's the thing with Arizona, I just don't I

1141
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 3: don't know what their their weakness is, other than they're

1142
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 3: not a team that shoots a lot of threes. They

1143
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 3: shoot well from three, but they don't shoot at heavy

1144
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 3: volume of three point shots. So if a team gets hot,

1145
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 3: like you can, you can get an advantage on him

1146
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 3: that way. But their their starting guards are good. Now

1147
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 3: that doel Orso is playing well, they've got a good

1148
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,640
Speaker 3: backup guard. They've got the best six man in the

1149
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 3: country in Toby o Waka. They've got size, they've got

1150
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 3: star power. Braydon Burry's coming on. Everybody talked about co Opete,

1151
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 3: their you know, highest rated freshman. Burry's was one spot

1152
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 3: behind him in the rankings and he's been a star.

1153
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 3: And they've got the big twelve player of the Aaron

1154
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 3: Jaden Bradley, who's who's a guy that always shows up

1155
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 3: in the clutch. I just think they're the most complete team.

1156
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 3: It probably would have been Michigan had they not lost

1157
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,680
Speaker 3: their backup point guard. That puts them at a at

1158
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 3: a at a little bit tougher spot because I don't

1159
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 3: love their guard play as much as I love the Axcell.

1160
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 3: Linden Boor is awesome. Did you watch the Big Ten

1161
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 3: Championship game?

1162
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 4: I did.

1163
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 3: He guarded Braden Smith the entire game. Braden Smith is

1164
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 3: a six y three point guard. The Axcell Linden Boor

1165
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 3: is a six y nine power forward and asked for

1166
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 3: the assignment and guarded Smith the whole game like he's

1167
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 3: incredible him or as Johnson and the day Era are awesome.

1168
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 3: But I don't love their guard play as much as

1169
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 3: I like what Arizona has in the backcourt.

1170
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 16: And it sounds like maybe the really is a ticket.

1171
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 16: You know, way to knock those guys off is to

1172
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 16: get him from behind. You know, like you said, if

1173
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 16: you can't shoot the three, that well, if you got.

1174
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 3: Behind, it's hard to come back.

1175
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,679
Speaker 16: Yeah, put you on your heels, Yeah, you on your heels. Yep,

1176
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 16: you'd have to have a team shooting lights out to

1177
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 16: stick with them.

1178
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 3: It sounds like the problem with Aaron Like. Defensively, what

1179
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 3: they do is they just make you shoot over top

1180
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 3: of them. They're so big and and they're fundamentally sound.

1181
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 3: They don't do anything fancy, they don't even gimmicks to

1182
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,720
Speaker 3: their defense, but they make you make shots over the

1183
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 3: top of guys that are six four six' five six

1184
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 3: eight six eleven seven foot. Like they're just fundamentally good. Defense, uh,

1185
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 3: defensively which which makes it really hard to get an

1186
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,600
Speaker 3: advantage on. Them and they're typically one and done like

1187
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:31,640
Speaker 3: they they rebound it defensively incredibly, well so if you,

1188
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 3: miss they're gonna get it and go the other. Way

1189
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 3: they're at this point the most complete team in the, tournament.

1190
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 10: And it certainly looks like.

1191
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 16: It and, Uh i'm a lot of people not necessarily

1192
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 16: buying The kentucky. HYPE i Think Santa clayer has got

1193
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 16: a real chance to upset. THEM i Think acron's got

1194
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 16: a chance to win.

1195
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 4: That twelve Five, YEAH i.

1196
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:58,479

01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,320

Speaker 16: them Play dayton and they that's a good.

1200
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 3: Team that's a good. Team you know their.

1201
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:14,520
Speaker 4: COACHES i do not SHOULD i.

1202
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:20,799

1259
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 3: Friday kentucky plays at twelve. Fifteen so there won't be

1260
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 3: a since e three, Sixty this show will probably start

1261
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:54,679
Speaker 3: around three thirty three forty five something like. That tarn

1262
01:19:54,760 --> 01:20:02,240
Speaker 3: what somebody created a fake like tip off AND tv

1263
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 3: schedule and released, it and it threw us off because

1264
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 3: it Said kentucky was gonna start at like one forty,

1265
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 3: five which would have put us in like five. Thirty

1266
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,640
Speaker 3: we would have had to do like one. Segment but

1267
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 3: instead we'll be live at at about three thirty or

1268
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 3: so On friday to break the past two. WEEKS i,

1269
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 3: mean they have caught all the breaks the past two,

1270
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 3: weeks and normally that show gets. Screwed, well the problem

1271
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:37,560
Speaker 3: is That kentucky usually draws a night game in THE ncaa.

1272
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 3: Tournament yeahually they're like the six fifty, game, right so

1273
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:45,799
Speaker 3: like you, know we get a half hour abbreviated. Show

1274
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 3: but for the most, part Like kentucky is usually a

1275
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 3: seven o'clock like the first night game of a session

1276
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 3: because they draw a huge. Crowd but this isn't a

1277
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 3: Vintage kentucky, Team so twelve fifteen it is for, them

1278
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 3: and we catch the short end of that. Stick, brother

1279
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 3: do we keep bar like?

1280
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:07,360

01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 3: at myself for not being there more often because that

1296
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 3: was outstanding. Today so. GOOD a couple bits of information

1297
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 3: and news coming out over the last last. Hour The

1298
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:08,520
Speaker 3: Indianapolis colts set to sign Cam taylor britt a reunion

1299
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 3: with Lou An. ARUMO i know there, were you, know

1300
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 3: some thinking With cincinnati not adding to the cornerback, room and,

1301
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 3: really right now they've only got two corners in that. Room,

1302
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 3: ascend you've got one extra. Backup but for the most,

1303
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 3: part IT'S Dj taylor And Dax, hill and there was

1304
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 3: a thought maybe since they didn't hit on the guys

1305
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 3: that they were looking, at That cincinnati might circle back

1306
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 3: around To Cam Taylor britt but he is off the

1307
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 3: board to The, Colts so take another name off the.

1308
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:51,479
Speaker 3: Board adding to the depth of that defense THAT i.

1309
01:22:51,720 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 3: LIKE i genuinely like the three, editions but it's not.

1310
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:05,600
Speaker 3: Enough you, were for a lot of, reasons one of

1311
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:10,719
Speaker 3: the worst defenses in THE, nfl and one of those

1312
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 3: reasons was you didn't have enough good. Players and you

1313
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 3: add three three GUYS i think can, help but three you,

1314
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 3: needed in my, estimation five six additions on defense and free.

1315
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:33,679
Speaker 3: Agency you needed a, linebacker a veteran linebacker to help

1316
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:35,679
Speaker 3: those two. Rookies look they were a little bit, better

1317
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 3: they improved as the season went. ON i think there's

1318
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 3: a very real possibility that they continue to improve the

1319
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 3: rest of the way over the rookie. Contracts but you

1320
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 3: needed a veteran that you could put on the field

1321
01:23:55,160 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 3: and comfortably count on bridging that gap to where the

1322
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,759
Speaker 3: learning curve wasn't so steep for these two young. Guys

1323
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:08,679
Speaker 3: you need a depth at. CORNER i thought they could

1324
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 3: have used as yet another safety to give them a

1325
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 3: little bit of depth in that. Room so while they

1326
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 3: have done some work on improving the, defense like they

1327
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:28,519
Speaker 3: scratched the, surface BECAUSE i still don't even in year

1328
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 3: two Of Al golden where the plan is to get

1329
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:33,719
Speaker 3: more pressure and to try to get up the field

1330
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 3: and waves and disrupt the. Quarterback injuries happen in THE.

1331
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 3: Nfl it gets part of THE nfl to look at

1332
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 3: your defense and, say we're going to roll with a

1333
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 3: very top heavy group defensively that we didn't, backfill that

1334
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 3: we didn't provide depth. To that doesn't give me a

1335
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 3: lot of confidence because what happened when somebody goes down

1336
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 3: for even if it's just a couple of, weeks you're

1337
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 3: back to looking, at oh my, gosh how does this

1338
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 3: team stop? Anybody how many times are we gonna See Joe,

1339
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,559
Speaker 3: burrow you, know drive a team down the field to

1340
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 3: take a lead late in the game and if there's

1341
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 3: twelve seconds on the. Clock it felt Like cincinnati's defense

1342
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 3: was gonna give it, up and a lot of times they.

1343
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:35,679
Speaker 3: DID i think they helped get. Better is it good

1344
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 3: enough to make The bengals A Super bowl contender? Again

1345
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:43,639
Speaker 3: and we saw what relying on rookies looked like last.

1346
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 3: Year NOW i know they're gonna look AT Dj, Turner

1347
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 3: they're gonna look At Dax. Hill they're gonna, say those

1348
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 3: guys made. Progress we believe the linebackers are gonna do the. Same,

1349
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 3: okay that's, great but you're hoping they become one of

1350
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 3: the better linebacker duos in the. Country they've done nothing

1351
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 3: to show you that they're going to become one of

1352
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 3: the better linebacker duos in the. Country they were right

1353
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 3: there at the top of the charts for miss tackles

1354
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:23,679
Speaker 3: in THE nfl all. Season so now you're back looking

1355
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:27,520
Speaker 3: at a draft where you have to draft for necessity

1356
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 3: instead of being able to go into the draft and, say,

1357
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 3: hey let's get the guy that we think best fits

1358
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 3: regardless of, position regardless of you, know what the roster looks.

1359
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 3: Like we think this guy can benefit us the. Most

1360
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 3: and the more and more you're looking at the mock,

1361
01:26:53,600 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 3: DRAFTS i, MEAN i don't feel great when you look

1362
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 3: and Mel kiper's newest mock Draft David bailey at, two

1363
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:11,639
Speaker 3: Averro reese at, Three Caleb downs at, Five Sonny styles at,

1364
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 3: Seven Ruben bain at. Nine those are all GUYS i

1365
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 3: think would be very very good additions to The cincinnati

1366
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 3: defense Man Sword, delaney WHO i think is a fine.

1367
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 3: Player what's his role if you've already GOT Dj turner

1368
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 3: And Cam, Taylor brent's he gonna be your nickel slot.

1369
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:48,639
Speaker 3: GUY i don't think that's really his. Specialty i'm sure

1370
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 3: it's something he could probably, do but that's an entirely

1371
01:27:52,640 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 3: different job than outside. Corner from, there if that's really

1372
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 3: how the draft plays, out you, know maybe you feel

1373
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:09,519
Speaker 3: lucky If Reuben baines slides all the way down to,

1374
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 3: ten or maybe you get lucky. That you, know people

1375
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 3: look At Caleb downs and say safety top, ten not

1376
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 3: comfortable doing. It maybe you get lucky. There but now

1377
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 3: you're going to be again counting on second and third

1378
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 3: and fourth and fifth round picks to be the guys

1379
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 3: that take this defense to another. Level when you couple

1380
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 3: that with the way that they structured the three, contracts

1381
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 3: they're all front. Loaded, essentially all of these, contracts in

1382
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 3: terms of their cap hit in year, one are about

1383
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 3: double what the rest of the market got at their.

1384
01:28:55,320 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 3: Positions so instead of saving some of that money or

1385
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 3: being able to better allocate that money in year. One

1386
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:14,639
Speaker 3: that money is already tied, up and now you're looking

1387
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 3: at a defense that you're still not sure. About and

1388
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 3: that's not What Joe burrow was anticipating when he, said

1389
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:30,120
Speaker 3: this is a massive offseason for The cincinnati, defense For

1390
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 3: cincinnati as a, franchise For cincinnati to put themselves back

1391
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 3: in position to play for The Super. BOWL i don't

1392
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:44,560
Speaker 3: think there's anybody that's going to look at the additions

1393
01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:49,599
Speaker 3: that The bengals made and, say, yep nailed. It that's

1394
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:52,559
Speaker 3: a team that we're putting back in contention for the

1395
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:54,720
Speaker 3: number one seed in THE, afc for the number two

1396
01:29:54,760 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 3: seed in THE. Afc and they just keep benning their

1397
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 3: wheels because they can't get out of their own way

1398
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 3: and what they believe is the right way to operate

1399
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:11,720
Speaker 3: AN nfl franchise when nobody else in the league is

1400

1507
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:50,160

1508
01:35:50,240 --> 01:35:50,679
Speaker 3: his scouting.

1509
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:54,040

01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 16: All.

1512
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:59,600
Speaker 14: No, Yeah AND i got one question for, you And

1513
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:01,320
Speaker 14: i'll hang up and if you can explain it to

1514
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 14: me a little, Bit i'll. Try so these front loaded

1515
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:07,760
Speaker 14: contracts that they're signing and, everything what does that? Mean

1516
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:10,800
Speaker 14: and why are The bengals doing and they're not doing

1517
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 14: it with everybody. ELSE i don't understand why you would

1518
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,880
Speaker 14: want to spend all this money this. Year it is next,

1519
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:16,360
Speaker 14: year it.

1520
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:20,280
Speaker 3: Is ultimately in their. MIND i guess a protection on

1521
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 3: if the player doesn't work, out you can move on

1522
01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:28,439
Speaker 3: after one year and not be financially strapped to that.

1523
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:32,519
Speaker 3: Player here's the thing that's always kind of confused, Me,

1524
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 3: charlie is how many times have they had to move

1525
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 3: on from a player after one? Year it doesn't happen a,

1526
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 3: whole very very. Rarely they almost always play a second season,

1527
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 3: Here so what are you protecting yourself from?

1528
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:50,759
Speaker 14: That that doesn't make sense what they're doing right.

1529
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:54,559

1589
01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:59,320
Speaker 3: been seven marches Since cincinnati has had their name called on.

1590
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:03,479
Speaker 3: Selections that shouldn't. Happen and here here's the, Ultimate like

1591
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 3: what happened in The Wes miller era is probably the

1592
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:15,200
Speaker 3: worst place for fans to be because they never bottomed.

1593
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:19,479
Speaker 3: Out like you, know look At Kansas state and what happened.

1594
01:40:19,880 --> 01:40:23,640
Speaker 3: There that got, ugly but it got ugly because it

1595
01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:26,479
Speaker 3: had to get ugly because they bottomed out and there

1596
01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:30,280
Speaker 3: was unequivocally no doubt that like this isn't, working we

1597
01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:35,120
Speaker 3: need something. Else wes was always right on the cusp

1598
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:38,840
Speaker 3: but couldn't get over the. Hump and there's no worse

1599
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:43,600
Speaker 3: place in sports to be then right on the outside

1600
01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:46,720
Speaker 3: looking in because it's it's it's hard to make that

1601
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:51,599
Speaker 3: change because it absolutely can get, worse but you need,

1602
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,640
Speaker 3: that you have to make it. Better and that Was
