1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Ten away from four o'clock. This is ESPN fifteen thirty.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Typically Chad Rendle's with us on Thursdays, but whatever, it's

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: a weird week. So I asked Chad to join us

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: today because there's a there's a lot to discuss. Bearcatjournal

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: dot Com. Hi, Chad.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of weird weeks lately.

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 3: Though, Yeah, there has been. Yes, that's I'm done with

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 3: the weird week.

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: Uh.

10
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: Yes, I just want a normal I want a normal week.

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: Here's also what I want. I want to be doing

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: my show. And then in the middle of it, uh

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: not get a press release from UC announcing that a

14
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: basketball player is going to be out indefinitely.

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: That was that was not great yesterday, mo. I thought

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: we might have but we might get through a day

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: like fairly unscathed. And then at you know, four fifteen

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: or whatever it was that hit yesterday, and it was

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: it was scathed. The day was scathed.

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. How big of a loss is Jalen Hayes?

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: And when I read in definitely should I fear that

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: this could be a season long thing?

23
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: Uh? It's a big loss. A big loss, especially because

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: I think with or without Jalen Haynes. I think this

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: is going to be a really good team. Defensively, I

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: think Jalen Haynes was going to be a guy that

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: could help them on the offensive end substantially. He wasn't

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: a traditional I people see his size and think like

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: old school back to the basket, throw it to him

30
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: and get a bucket. There was some of that to

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: his game, but he had a lot more than that. Offensively,

32
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: he could catch it at fifteen feet and drive. He

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: could shoot the little fifteen seventeen footer. You could run

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: offense through him because he was a really good passer.

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: So I think offensively this is a pretty big blow

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: to Cincinnati. I don't think they particularly specifically know yet

37
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: how long it's going to be. I was kind of

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: calling some of my friends around the country to get

39
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: a feel for some of this. I had a friend

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: of mine that's an assistant in a Power five league,

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: Power four league that said, they've got a guy that

42
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: they think they could get back in December, and that

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: guy my red shirt because he's gonna miss two months.

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: You come back in conference play, you only get two months,

45
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: why not red shirt? And then you get this year's

46
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: payment for your services. And you get another year next

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: year of payment for your services. So I think that's

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: something to watch out for on this too. Like, if

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: this is something that goes into January or February or

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: whatever it is, does it make sense for Jalen Haynes

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: to maybe say, Hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna get back

52
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 2: to one hundred percent and we'll do it again next year.

53
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: So I possibly yes, Like maybe the injury keeps him

54
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: out that whole time, maybe he decides a red shirt

55
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: is the best way to go. But I do. I

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: think it's something that mentally you got to prepare for

57
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: and that West Miller and his team has to prepare

58
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: for that it could be a season long thing.

59
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 3: October fifteenth and we're already talking about this. They do

60
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: play Michigan on Friday.

61
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: I'll be able to watch this on like Big ten

62
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: plus two some version of the Big ten network.

63
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: I can watch this on on Friday.

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: It's on Big ten plus with that, which I think

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: is like fifteen dollars a month, So.

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: I gotta pay fifteen bucks much pay fifteen bucks on

67
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: U see play Michigan on Friday, I believe. So if

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: I decide to do this, give me one or two

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: things I should be looking for.

70
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: Well, Michigan might have the best player in the country,

71
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: so that's something you can pay attention to. Is how

72
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: to Cincinnati handle Yaxville Lindenborg. We were like, hey, go

73
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 2: get that guy.

74
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, he might be the best.

75
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: Player in the country. Yeah, so he'll be really good.

76
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: And then it'll be interesting to see how since that

77
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: he handles him on the interior. I'm gonna be very

78
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: interested to see in how some of the rotation book.

79
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: I know it's an exhibition game, an exhibition game a

80
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: couple of days after they lose what was going to

81
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: be a really important piece of their front court rotation.

82
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: But and here here's the name though where he's not

83
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: getting a lot of talk yet. But I think, especially

84
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 2: if this injury lasts for an extended period of time,

85
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm really interested in Jordi Rodriguez because I think he

86
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: can help this team. He was He's from Spain, played

87
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: in the in their their top league, also was on

88
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: the national team with Boba Miller. I really like what

89
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 2: I've seen from Jordi Rodriguez. I've liked what I've heard

90
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: from people that have been there every day. I think

91
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: if there's an increased role, that's a guy that might

92
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: be able to capitalize on it more than anyone. And

93
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: he can really really shoot the basketball. And I would

94
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: like to have as many of those type of guys

95
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: on the floor as possible.

96
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: It's twelve ninety nine a month. I got to pay

97
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: thirteen bucks to watch UC versus. I'll be in in

98
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City for the game against Oklahoma State. Maybe I

99
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: can get Hord and Pike to chip in and we'll

100
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: pay the thirteen bucks to watch the game.

101
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: Well, I will be there in ann Arbor.

102
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: Oh perfect.

103
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: Could you like hold your following me on Twitter?

104
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: I'll follow you on Twitter, Gret. What if i'd like

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: just text you, like intermittently during the game.

106
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I'm down with that. You know. I'll update you.

107
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe we can FaceTime. Yeah, and I'll give you

108
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: some of the action. I don't know where they're gonna

109
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: sit us. Yeah, I saw it was in section like

110
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: two hundred something. M hm. So I'm probably not gonna

111
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: have the best of you, but I'll be there.

112
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm very good. I have two more questions for you.

113
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: One is basketball related. You know I came to the

114
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: West Miller media availability today. Yes, because I am hopeful

115
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: that we could replicate what they did in Boston where

116
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: the Celtics coaches drubbed Boston Celtics media in a scrimmage

117
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: fifty seven to four. And I was trying to find

118
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: five dudes in that room that we could put on

119
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: the floor against the Bearcat coaches.

120
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: Would you be game?

121
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 2: I'm game? I mean I Keegan. Would you know Keegan's

122
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: probably gonna be our best bet for an athlete? Uh?

123
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: He was. I don't have you know this one? Not

124
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: Keegan played juco baseball.

125
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: I did not know this.

126
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: So, so he's an athlete. Well he's a catcher. Okay,

127
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: so he's kind of an athlete. He's athlete a Jason.

128
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Now, by the way, Ran Tarn has volunteered his services,

129
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: so you know we Arran would help.

130
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 2: I've got Corey Evans. I'll guard Corey very good.

131
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: We'll work on that for me.

132
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: Uh, football's not gonna lose to Oklahoma State, right, I

133
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't think.

134
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: So I got to answer our guy Jeff that f

135
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: F car had me on one of his shows and

136
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: asked me if this was a trap game. I said, Jeff,

137
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: I think the trap game was last Saturday.

138
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I agree, you're.

139
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: Coming off of Kansas and Iowa State. You got a

140
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: talented but underachieving, a little bit Central Florida team. It's

141
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: a rivalry game. Cincinnati didn't play great on offense, Like

142
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: I thought, that was the trap game. I think this

143
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: week Oklahoma State's just not very talented, and they'll play hard,

144
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: and it's homecoming and it's the night game. I wouldn't

145
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: be surprised to see them hang around for a little bit.

146
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: But this is a much much, much more talented Cincinnati squad,

147
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: and I think their trap game, their sleep through game

148
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: was last week against Central Florida. I think Oklahoma State

149
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: will have their undivided attention. Dante Corleon mentioned they still

150
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: remember Ally Gordon running for what was it, four hundred

151
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: and eighty three yards that like two years ago. It's

152
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: still water, So I don't think this is going to

153
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 2: be a look past the opponent game. And Oklahoma State

154
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: is pretty bad.

155
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: How much will I have to pay to watch the

156
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: Arkansas exhibition? That to pay the SEC network money too, So.

157
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: That's on SEC plus. Oh but as long as you
