1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: In less than a week. You're hitting me on a

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: new team, new fans, new city. It's gonna be a

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: whole thing, moving probably the week after to train a

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: gampe so fast. But for the fans that may not know,

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: describe the type of player that they're going to get,

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: the type of person that they're bringing into their organization.

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: I want to be that person that gives it, they're

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: all every day, both ends of the floor, and then

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: represents those fans in that city really well. I think

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: it's important to know whatever jersey you're putting on, you're

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: not just representing yourself, You're representing a whole group of

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: people in a whole city. So I think someone who

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: does that and does it well and obviously gives it

14
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: they're all on the floor. That's what I want to

15
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: hope to bring to a city, and I hope I

16
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: get the opportunity to.

17
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,800

25
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: a weird time that college balls over heading to the draft.

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,560

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:18,080

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,160

31
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: whether it's in the gym or honestly in my car,

32
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 2: but that's my go through right now.

33
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. That's like, I don't know what

34
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: I expected to hear, but I wasn't hearing. I'm a

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: pop smoke girl, But like, I love that for you.

36
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: It's amazing. But let's talk a little bit about your

37
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: senior season. You had an amazing year. You guys got

38
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: upset in the second round. You know what I feel

39
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: you You've done that not fun, but you had an

40
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: incredible season. You guys were Big ten regular season champs,

41
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: taking down I one overtime, having a Number two scene

42
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: in the tournament. Are those things that you kind of

43
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: like saw happening while you guys were in summer during

44
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: those fall workouts because sometimes, I mean for me, I

45
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know how we're gonna be all

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: these things. In some years I'm like, we're great, We're

47
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: gonna make it to the tournament. So what were the

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: vibes like in the summer with the cohesion and jailing

49
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: of your team. I think the vibes were pretty good.

50
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: We had some newcomers, we had some young girls as well,

51
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: but I think chemistry was kind of there right away,

52
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: and obviously we had our goals, but I think, you know,

53
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: reality stepped in as the season went on, and when

54
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: we realized we could actually accomplish those it was it

55
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: was pretty special. And like you said, we didn't make

56
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: it as far as we went into in the tournament,

57
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: but overall had a really really great year during the

58
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: regular season and with a really special group.

59
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: So it was a lot of fun. Yeah, really special group.

60
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: And I mean the Big Ten is tough. It's not

61
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: a cakewalk. I think that in years past it hasn't

62
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: been the strongest conference, but like it's been really good. Yeah, Indiana, Michigan,

63
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: Michigan State, even teams like Nebraska coming in hot these

64
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: past few years, So talk to me about how tough

65
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: it is night in and night out, having that mindset

66
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: that you can never really take a night off the

67
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: team that maybe at the bottom of the league, they

68
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: can come around in surprise and body on.

69
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: Any Absolutely, it's a lot of fun, especially the amount

70
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: of amazing players in this league, and like you said,

71
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: you can't take an it off because they're gonna get beat.

72
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: So it's just fun to be a part of this league.

73
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: It definitely keeps you in check, and I think it

74
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: prepares you for the tournament too. So I think our

75
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: team had fun with it, and it's definitely fun playing in.

76
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: The Big Ten. Yeah, I mean it looks like fun.

77
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: I feel like, I don't know, just the competition level

78
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: across the country has obviously gotten so much better, just

79
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: with the depth of every single conference. Looking back over

80
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: your five years at Ohio State, I feel like you

81
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: guys had this insane upward trajectory of how good you

82
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: guys got. I remember playing you guys freshman year at

83
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: Stanford to see where you guys are now, and a

84
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: lot of that is because of you. What do you

85
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: feel like you're most proud of looking back on your

86
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: five years at Oha State. Yeah, I remember that game.

87
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: By the way, you guys smoked us.

88
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: But talking about you mentioned it, just the growth that

89
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: has happened and the culture ship since I've been here

90
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: has been crazy, and it's been awesome to be a

91
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: part of. We've had a lot of people I've been

92
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: able to build relationships and meet and group that was

93
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: here since freshman year, and just being able to stay

94
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: here for five years was was awesome. And I'm excited

95
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: to see what they can do in the future because

96
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: they got a good group coming into.

97
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're right. They still have a good young

98
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: class kind of centered around Cody and some other players,

99
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: which is really exciting for upcoming years. But looking ahead, really,

100
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: oh my god, like a few days crazy, it's coming

101
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: around so quickly. I think the draft is literally Monday,

102
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: so you d your your name into the draft. What

103
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: have these past few days kind of been like preparing

104
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: for the draft not only on the court, but like

105
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: your family's got to get there. You getting to right

106
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: and you're doing like your famis a draft outfit all

107
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: these things. What has it been like?

108
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: It's been hectic.

109
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: It's been a lot, a little stressful, but I mean

110
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: it's it's awesome, and I think I'm gonna be able

111
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: to enjoy it here once everything's settled down.

112
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: But basketball has kept me grounded.

113
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: I've been able to stay in the gym these past

114
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: couple of days, which which has been a nice time

115
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: to kind of relax and just focus on that. But

116
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: it's exciting too, you know, picking out the outfit. The

117
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: family is excited and it should be a good time.

118
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the draft is so much fun. But

119
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, you could have declared last year and you're

120
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: deciding to do it this year. So what kept you

121
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: at Ohio State? Was it, you know, goals of another

122
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: great year, all these different things? What kept you wanted

123
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: to do one more?

124
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: I think a lot of things went into it, but

125
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 2: most importantly it was the group we had. We lost

126
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: Taylor Mike Sell, which was obviously a huge loss, but

127
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: we had a lot of people coming back and a

128
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: lot of people joining us that for that next year.

129
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: So I just want to be a part of that,

130
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: want to be a part of another run, have an

131
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: impact one more year at Ohio State. And then I

132
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: wanted to get healthy as well. The w is obviously,

133
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 2: you know, probably the best professional league out there, so

134
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: I think going into their healthy is important.

135
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: But it came down to this group we had, which

136
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: was which was awesome.

137
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's so special having a group that's

138
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: so tight knit and it's so fun to play with it.

139
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: It makes all the difference in the world. And so

140
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you came back and you guys did

141
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: amazing winning the Big Ten and all. These are things

142
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: that we've talked about. But moving into the w what

143
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: do you feel like about your game is going to

144
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: translate the best in that professional career.

145
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: I'm really excited because I'm coming as a rookie now.

146
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: I think being able to, you know, meet these veterans

147
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: and learn from these veterans is going to be really special.

148
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: As far as my game, I know, you know, I

149
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: got a lot of things to do to get better

150
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: and work on it. I'm excited though. I think I

151
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: play a two position game. I think I can guard

152
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: in and play offense. So I'm excited to just see

153
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: how that translate. Obviously, it's gonna be an adjustment period.

154
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure the pace and the size in that league

155
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 2: is unreal, and the talent, but I'm really excited to

156
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: get there.

157
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch you. I've always been like a

158
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: fan from the side, even though we just talked about

159
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: before we started, like this's our first time actually talking

160
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: about I feel like you're gonna translate so well, because,

161
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: like you talked about, you're not just I think a

162
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: lot of people are just like kind of one place

163
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: on the perimeter. You can play a lot of different spots.

164
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: And also your defense is insane, dude, Like I'm not

165
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: trying to be by you, Like, there's so many different

166
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: aspects of your game which I feel like will translate.

167
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: And I think also the mount that you've been able

168
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: to improve. I think that a lot of people when

169
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: they get to college, they stop, like you know, grinding,

170
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 1: like things high whatever. But like your trajectory in college,

171
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: you've made a name for yourself every single year, which

172
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: is like amazing. I feel like you don't see that

173
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: all the time time. But talking about being in the

174
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: gym these past few days getting ready for training camp,

175
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: let me tell you, training camp is a lot. But

176
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: it's a lot. But what do you feel like you've

177
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: really been focusing on as you had to training camp,

178
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: Like those few things that you really want to show.

179
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a lot of things.

180
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: Obviously being a three level score, just keeping keeping that

181
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: on my mind and keeping that always at one hundred

182
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: percent work ethic. But as far as I think physicality

183
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: is something that is going to kind of be at

184
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: the next level, definitely in training camp and and just

185
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: trying to kind of activate that as much as we

186
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: can as much as we can just training wise, even

187
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: if it's against you know, some boys at times and

188
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: our you know, our managers are coming in playing against us,

189
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: trying to stimulate that. But I'm excited. I've I've heard

190
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: it's no joke and and I know I know that's true.

191
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: So I'm just excited to get an opportunity to play

192
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: with those players.

193
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think you're gonna kill it. Just TI.

194
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: You're doing everything everything to get ready, which is what

195
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: you need and getting into the draft. You're going to

196
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: be there in just a few days. Can we get

197
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: a sneak peek into what the fit is going to be?

198
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Do we have any ideas to get spoilers? Maybe the

199
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: color of the outfit, I'll give me that. Yeah.

200
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just got it yesterday, so I was super

201
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: last minute. I didn't even get it with enough time

202
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: to order things, but found a really cute black dress.

203
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: I'll leave it there, but it's it's awesome.

204
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: I like it a lot.

205
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: It's got a little slit. I got some nude shoes

206
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: to go with it, and yeah, I'm really excited. I'm

207
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: kind of nervous, but I'm a little excited to see

208
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: how it turns out.

209
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited. It's gonna be great. It's gonna be amazing.

210
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: And then do we have any I don't know insights

211
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: as to who we think is going to have some

212
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: fire fit to draft. I feel like a lot of

213
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: people are gonna really come out step in there. I'm excited,

214
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: so I agree.

215
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: I felt like they're definitely gonna go all out for this,

216
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: and I'm excited to see it. To be honest, I

217
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: have my teammate Celestis come in and I'm already trying

218
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: to like text.

219
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Her and be like, what are you wearing? So we're

220
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: super excited. Yeah, no, it should be great. But I mean,

221
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: we just got to talk about the championship game that

222
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: happened on this past weekend, the Final Four. The energy

223
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: was insane. I was there on Sunday. It was packed, sellout, crowd,

224
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: all these different things. Eighteen however, million views. Were you

225
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: watching the game? Of course?

226
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: Of course, of course it was awesome, and it looked

227
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: it looked just as cool on TV.

228
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure you had a better perspective, but it looked insane.

229
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: Honestly, Jason, You're better than me, because when we lost

230
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: in the Final four, I couldn't watch. I couldn't bring

231
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: myself to do it. I was so salty. I was like,

232
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: I was like checking the ESPN updates, but I'm like,

233
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: I'm not watching that. I just can't. Like I felt

234
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: too close to it, all right, But I mean it

235
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: was crazy. I mean I was first quarter coming out hot,

236
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: all these different things. Did you have a prediction going

237
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: to the game? Were you picking? I wore South Carolina.

238
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: I didn't have a prediction. I was honestly.

239
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: I obviously play I well a lot during the season,

240
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: so I wanted to see them, and in South Carolina

241
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: obviously it is such a deep team and such a

242
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: fun team to watch. So I didn't watch a ton

243
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: of the first half, second half. I had to tune

244
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: in and just finish it up. But it was great game.

245
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: I think the viewership was incredible, especially putting it next

246
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: to the men's game.

247
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: I think that's great for our game.

248
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: So both those teams are doing a lot for us

249
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: in women's basketball in general, So it's pretty cool.

250
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I couldn't agree more, and especially about the men's thing.

251
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: I watched it on Sunday and then on Monday night,

252
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: I was doing my thing around the apartment her and

253
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, like I should turn on the

254
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: men's game right now, and I was like, oh my gosh,

255
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody just all the talk about it

256
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: was just like women's tournament all over Twitter, all our

257
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: social media, whatever it was. People were like, oh, the

258
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: men's tournam was on too, or need that, and like

259
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: it's such you know, everybody should watch their men's tournament too.

260
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: But for me selfishly, I was like I love this

261
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: change of pace. Absolutely, this is what we want. This

262
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: is what's amazing. But I mean, the tournament definitely fueled

263
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: the madness and brought out a lot of excitement and

264
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: anticipation for next season. And I've got a couple of

265
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: questions brought to you by our lovely sponsor, Wendy's. So

266
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: was there a team this season or maybe just during

267
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: the tournament that made you kind of do a double take.

268
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: That will be, like, what you saw in the tournament

269
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: is really gonna fuel them into next season. They're gonna

270
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: have a big year, I think. Yeah.

271
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: I think NC State showed out in the tournament. They

272
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: had a great year, obviously made it to the final four.

273
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 2: I think they showed a lot of what they can

274
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: do during you know, their regular season as well, and

275
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: I think just kind of definitely proved a point in

276
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: the tournament and they were fun to watch, and I

277
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: think they were unpredictable too, even even moving in into

278
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: that final four. They didn't get as far as they

279
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: wanted to, but I had a lot of fun watching them,

280
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: and I think in the future definitely gonna be a

281
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: team to look out for.

282
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: For sure. I completely agree. I Mean there were times

283
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: I think I remember NC State posting something about how

284
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: they dropped out of the top twenty five at one point,

285
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: which is crazy, and here they are on the final four,

286
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: which I'm just like, it's so crazy. How with the

287
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: depth of women's basketball and just the talent level across

288
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: the country, like teams are in and out of that

289
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: top twenty five, it really doesn't matter anymore. It's crazy.

290
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: Everybody's coming in. You saw Middle Tennessee take Elis you

291
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: to the wire up, said Louisville. Like all these different

292
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: teams are crazy, But has there been a specific player

293
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: maybe in the tournament that you're really excited to watch

294
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: them next season and just their continued growth.

295
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great player. I'm gonna be a little biased,

296
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go with Cody. Yeah, she's she's awesome.

297
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: Being able to play with her and just build a

298
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: relationship with her through my time at Ohio State has

299
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: been amazing. We became really close and I've seen her

300
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: game grow and I think she's only scratching the surface

301
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: of what she can do. So obviously she's a fun

302
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: player to watch, but especially come Turney time, she's unpredictable. Man.

303
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be fun and I think people

304
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: are gonna be saying her name a lot more these

305
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: next few years.

306
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean she's a bucket, like she's a

307
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: dog that you definitely have her team and I think,

308
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah. Throughout different episodes, we've talked about, you know,

309
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: different players in the Big Ten and like two things

310
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: people talk about you, but they talk about Cody a

311
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: lot and just how she does all these different things

312
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: on the court for you guys. So I'm excited to

313
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: see her kind of step into a continued bigger role

314
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: throughout her next few years at Ohio State. And then

315
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: talking about the Big Ten, there's so much talent that

316
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: you guys are Oh my gosh. Yeah. Was there a

317
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: single player that sticks out to you that was toughest

318
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: to guard?

319
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, there's a lot. Obviously, Caitlin an amazing player.

320
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: Cheyenne Sellers from Maryland played her heart out against US.

321
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: I could go on and on.

322
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: Jez Shelley from Nebraska had herself an amazing year. It's

323
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 2: just the talent in the Big Ten is unreal, and

324
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: I think think going against these players only is makes

325
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: us all better. So I think the competition's only gonna grow,

326
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: especially with the new teams joining the Big Ten.

327
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that. I wasn't even thinking about that.

328
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: You're bringing USC UCLA. Oh my gosh, it might be

329
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: those two.

330
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: I think there might be one more that were passing,

331
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: but definitely those two for sure.

332
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. All the different conference realignments next year,

333
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: like Stanford account of the ACC's gonna yeah, whoever to

334
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: the Big twelve? Like, how crazy? Okay, we've talked to

335
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: different Pack twelve players about how they think they're gonna

336
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: do in the Big Ten. How do you think USC

337
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: and UCLA teams are gonna translate to the Big Ten? Yeah?

338
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be good for the Big Ten. Obviously,

339
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: it's two outstanding programs. We're fortunate enough to play them

340
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: both this year and they got they have amazing players,

341
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: amazing coaches. So I think I do think style plays

342
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: a little different, but I don't think it's gonna I

343
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be a good thing for the Big Ten,

344
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: to be honest, And it's just gonna bring bring in

345
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 2: more talent and more attention, which will be huge.

346
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, seriously, there's gonna be a lot of star

347
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: power in the Big Ten. It's gonna be crazy, for sure.

348
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: And I feel like, honestly, the height like of the

349
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: Big Ten, Like I feel like in the Pack we

350
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: already look at y'all and be like, why are there's

351
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: so many tall girls in the Big Ten? Like you

352
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: got Kenzie homes and people everywhere, and now you're bringing

353
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: in like Lauren Beds and then Rushia're like, there's some

354
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: tall people in that big ten. I'm absolutly white. But

355
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: before we get into more of your college career, we're

356
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: gonna ask you my question of the day, which is

357
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: probably my favorite part of every episode. So it's a

358
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: little out of left field, but it's what's the largest

359
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: animal that you feel like you could be in a

360
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: fistfight with no weapons.

361
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: I was just asked this other day.

362
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: I shut up, so hear me out and I.

363
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: Got ripped for my answer. But I honestly think I

364
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: could take a cow. I don't think a cow can

365
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: beat me, if that makes sense.

366
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I feel like like I feel like that's

367
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: a large animal, but it's not very fast, cold.

368
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: Desinate, and I think I'm quicker, Like I think I

369
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: could find a way.

370
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't know.

371
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: That might be a bad answer, but that's what I

372
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 3: went with the other day.

373
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with it. I like that answer. Honestly. That's

374
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: the first met a leftfield for your answers. Pop smoke

375
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: a cow, but mine is a giraffe. Okay, yeah, that's

376
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: reasonable for sure, thank you. I feel like you could

377
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: go for the knees, like wrap some like I don't

378
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: know that year at that point. That's a very good point.

379
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: I like cow though. That's that's a new one that's

380
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: never crossed my mind. So I like that. But before

381
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: we get into your career and your journey, I want

382
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about the transfer portal, which

383
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: I thought was insane last year, and I feel like

384
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: this year all the big names are just crazy. So

385
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: we'll play a little game here and think about, you know,

386
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: if we were these people, where do you feel like

387
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: is the best fit for somebody like Haley Vanlyft. You

388
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: know Louisville, LSU, she's going again. Where do you feel

389
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: like it is a good fit for Haley.

390
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: That's a great question, to be honest with you. I've

391
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: seen a couple like predictions. I saw South Carolina as one.

392
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: I saw Iowa. I was one.

393
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: I think a school where you know, Hayley's obviously an

394
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: amazing player, amazing score. I don't know what her preference

395
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: is on the one or two, but I think any

396
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: school who's looking for a guard who can come in

397
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: and make an impact offensively, that's where she's gonna fit.

398
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 3: And I'm excited for her. I think she's still got

399
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: a lot more.

400
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: You know, she's an amazing player, and I think she's

401
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: gonna grow even more this year. And I think, you know,

402
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: whatever school she does go to, I'm extremely extremely excited

403
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: to watch her because I love watching her offensive games

404
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: and and just the way she finds the score.

405
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: I think it's just great to see. No, you're completely right.

406
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: I think she's a bucket and the way that she

407
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: does it, like she's such a hard worker. I remember

408
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: remember being in high school and watching her and like

409
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: an aau, like nobody want to be guarded by her,

410
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: like she's a dog and just like her getting tough

411
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: buckets and you watch her three on three game at

412
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: how it translates to like it's really cool to see.

413
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: So I think I agree, just like any program that

414
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: really needs a guard who's gonna come and get them

415
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: some buckets is gonna be a spark. And then the

416
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: other player I want to talk about is Deja Kelly.

417
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: Four years at North Carolina one coming there, I was

418
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: like I didn't either, so I just did to see

419
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: where she wants to go because I don't know, I

420
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: feel like what I thought, I just thought in North

421
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: Carolina was such a good fit so I'm really intrigued.

422
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't I'm trying to think if if I were her,

423
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: I want to go specific school wise, off the top

424
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: of my head, I don't know.

425
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: Obviously, a team who needs a point guard who's a

426
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: dog because she can play. We got to play against

427
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: her in March last year and she can hoop. She

428
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 2: seems like a great teammate too, and she just has

429
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 2: a will to win and I think to compete. So

430
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: whoever gets her is going to be extremely lucky. I

431
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: don't know where she'll go though, I really don't. That's exciting.

432
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one. That one was really out of left

433
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: field for me. And then the other one who we

434
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: just had on the podcast was to Lea Vano Hoffen

435
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: and some of the other Oregon State players have gone

436
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: to the portal. I was like, yeah, I was like,

437
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: what do we don't know? What happened? Where are we

438
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: going exactly? I was. I was shocked about that. A

439
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: couple say girls.

440
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 2: They obviously had an amazing March heck of a team

441
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: and I had fun watching them.

442
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: So I'm excited to see where all those girls go.

443
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be crazy. I feel like

444
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: every day I see a new name of the transfer portal,

445
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: and I'm completely shocked by it. I like, I don't know.

446
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: I feel like some of the players are players that

447
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: already have like the keys to the kingdom. So I agree. Yeah,

448
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see things shake up even more this year,

449
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: especially with like the conference realignments, because if some of

450
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: these players want to go to the Pack, you're still

451
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: going to be in your same conference. Mostly absolutely, you're

452
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 1: not really going, So I think it'll be really interesting

453
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: to see how it all goes. I agree, But let's

454
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: take it a little bit back to your early roots

455
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: with basketball from Dublin, Ohio. How did the ball first

456
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: get put into your hands? Yeah?

457
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 3: So I grew up in Cleveland. Actually I live to Dublin.

458
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: I know Cleveland.

459
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: I moved to Dublin when I was a little bit

460
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 2: older into high school, but grew up in Cleveland.

461
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: My dad was a coach.

462
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: My mom was a volleyball coach too, so I kind

463
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 2: of grew up in the gym and my brother used

464
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: to mess around in there all the time. And then

465
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: around eighth grade it's when I started to realize this

466
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: is what I want to do. I want to take

467
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 2: a little more serious and get better. So just kind

468
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: of grew up in the gym and fell in love

469
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 2: with it at a young age, and then the rest

470
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: is history.

471
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: I guess.

472
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: Just worked at it till then and was able to

473
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: come to Ohio State, which was close to home, which

474
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 2: was special for me and pretty important.

475
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: Was your dad your coach growing up?

476
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 2: He was for a little bit through like au before

477
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: high school, he was, and he taught me so much

478
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 2: and guided me through that obviously, but we got to

479
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: a point where I started getting add tude and we

480
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: started button heads and that's when I started working with

481
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: my trainer.

482
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: So it worked out perfectly, No, I feel any wait,

483
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: my mom was my coach growing up, and for me,

484
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: it was always the problem of like whenever we left

485
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: the gym, she would be able to like leave it

486
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: and like just compartmentalize, and then I'm in the car

487
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: and she's like, oh, let's go get a slope, let's

488
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: hang out, and I'm like, we can't let it go.

489
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm like I need a break. Like it's that parent

490
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: relationship where there also your coach is such I don't know,

491
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: such an intricate thing to navigate, So it is I'm

492
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: thankful for it though.

493
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: It definitely got me, got me to where I'm at.

494
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: Oh, for sure, they could push you. Like, no, it's

495
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: absolutely it's great, but so growing up, you know, being

496
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: coached by your dad, having all these different trainers. Who

497
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: did you find yourself modeling your game after a specific player?

498
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: That's a good question.

499
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: I watched a lot of NBA and WNBA. I honestly

500
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: the player I watched the most is Devin Booker. And

501
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: he obviously he's insane and he's an amazing player, but

502
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: I just like watching the ways he finds the score.

503
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 2: He scores in so many different ways, and I think, like,

504
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: I'll be watching him and I'll rewind and I'll rewatch

505
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: because it just fascinates me some of the things he does.

506
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: And I I don't know if I.

507
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: Say modeled my game, but I definitely try to copy

508
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: what he does.

509
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: And I love watching him play, you know, I feel

510
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: like for me, I really most recently started watching him

511
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: in the NBA. I feel like I wish I watched

512
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: my Kentucky more. But his body control, just able to

513
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: maneuver and do all these different things. That's that's a

514
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: good pick. That's that's first on the pot. I like

515
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: that pick. Talking a little bit about your recruiting process,

516
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: when did you get your first letter? The process is

517
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: different for everybody. So what ended up leading you to

518
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: choosing Ohio State?

519
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 3: Oh, gosh, take me back a long time ago.

520
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: But it was exciting.

521
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: I think the I want to say the first time

522
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: someone reached out beginning of high school, and it was

523
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: definitely new to me, but it was exciting and a

524
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: lot of within the Big Ten, a lot of schools

525
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: outside of it too, obviously, but Ohio State was always

526
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: the dream. I think once I visited here and met

527
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: McGuff and obviously met the girls, it kind of solidified

528
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 2: the decision and I knew I want to stay close

529
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: to home, want to stay close to my sister. So

530
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: the atmosphere here is amazing, the culture was awesome, and

531
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: just being a part of this university was something I

532
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: wanted to do and I'm glad I made that decision.

533
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it worked out grade and I went

534
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: to school an hour away from home as well, and

535
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: I think that it's such a special thing to be

536
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: able to play in front of your family do a

537
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: different things. So I mean it seemed like Ohio State

538
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: was the right place to be. You did so much there,

539
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: now how to do the draft? So love that. But taking

540
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: it all the way back to summer twenty nineteen, freshman

541
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: JAYC what were your first preseason practices? Like, well, how

542
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: are you feeling? I know, I'll nervous, wreck So what

543
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: was that like for you? Hopefully wasn't just me? Yeah, no,

544
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: I was absolutely nervous.

545
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: I came in with I want to say, five or

546
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: six other freshmen, so we definitely had we had each

547
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: other and in the upper classmen at the time were awesome,

548
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: and summer workouts were they were brutal. We went at

549
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: it and we played a lot, and that's something I

550
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 2: didn't expect. And I love to compete though, I love

551
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: to kind of get a feel for the game in

552
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: that way.

553
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: So it was awesome.

554
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 2: And to do it with you know, a lot of

555
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: incoming freshmen too, it was fun.

556
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun.

557
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: And obviously you.

558
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: Have the nerves and you have the jitters, and I

559
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 2: think once you start playing and scrimmaging, those go away

560
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 2: a little bit.

561
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: But definitely was nervous.

562
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: I'm excited though, but because I'm about to have that

563
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: same you know, kind of freshman feeling.

564
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: But it was fun. Yeah. No, I think freshman year

565
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: is such a fun timing coming in with a class

566
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: like that, five six of you. I'm sure that was

567
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: very helpful. That was the way my freshman class inseparable.

568
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: Like if you have those like that group, you're able

569
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: to really get there. Anything you talk about, you talk

570
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: about deep breaths, job and the same struggles. I know

571
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: for us we really bonded because Tara would it after

572
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: us in film like it did not matter. Many horror

573
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: stories from my time my freshman year, But looking back,

574
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: do you feel like there were any film horror stories

575
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: for young JC just? I know for me it was

576
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: always turnovers because I was like trying to make these

577
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: cool plays. Absolutely, what was it for you?

578
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: I would get so nervous when we watch film this

579
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: freshmen because you know, you don't want to be the

580
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: freshman it's called out. I just remember sitting there watching

581
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: film and being so nervous. For me, it was, Yeah,

582
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: it was on the defensive end. We were on that press,

583
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: and I think that part I got nervous about it.

584
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 2: I was in that press a lot freshman year, and

585
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 2: I think I always got nervous when same thing turnovers too.

586
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 2: But it's funny to think about that because senior year,

587
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: like we're sitting down for film and I know what's coming.

588
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: But freshman year, I was so nervous. Yeah, senior year,

589
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm like whatever, like, let me take you, Like, yeah,

590
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: you see that like when I was a freshman the

591
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: year those upperclassmen like trying to take it for you

592
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: and whatever. It's so weird being on the other side

593
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: of things, But absolutely COVID impacted both of us very

594
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: heavily in terms of our freshman and sophomore year. So

595
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: what was it like for you finding a rhythm in

596
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: your sophomore year with games just getting canceled left and right.

597
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Freshman year, you averaged nine a game. Sophomore year, you

598
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: jumped up to seventeen. So what was that like, kind

599
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: of that process of finding your rhythm becoming one of

600
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: the main scorers on the team. Yeah, COVID, Obviously that

601
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: was a crazy time.

602
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 2: I was fortunate enough to have a gym during that time,

603
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: So I love COVID in a weird way just the

604
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: time I was able.

605
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: To spend in the gym during that time.

606
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: But that definitely gave me confidence going into that sophomore year.

607
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: Obviously it was still hectic with games getting canceled and

608
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 2: testing every day, but I think just kind of adapting

609
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 2: to our new group we had that sophomore year too,

610
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: was important and it was fun. I think looking back, obviously,

611
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: not knowing if your game is gonna get canceled or

612
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: not definitely takes a toll on you and kind of

613
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: changes the mindset.

614
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: But it's a learning experience. I think we learned a

615
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: lot from it.

616
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 2: We obviously became so much more fortunate for the things

617
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: we get now, So I think it was obviously hard

618
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: to experience but taught us a lot.

619
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, COVID year was so much going on. Oh

620
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: my god, it was just so much and like I

621
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: don't know if you didn't know if teams were dropping out,

622
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: all the things going on, and it was a lot happening.

623
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: But you know, you had this amazing jump in just

624
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 1: your career and the role that you took on Ohio

625
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: State and kind of was really a foundation player for

626
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: what it has become now. Was there a specific game

627
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: that you feel like was kind of a breakout game

628
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: for you, Like, Okay, I belong here, this is who

629
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: I'm going to be for the rest of my time here.

630
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: Was there a specific memory that you remember.

631
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 3: To be honest, there's not. I think sophomore year in general.

632
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 2: I think I came in with some more confidence and

633
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: a different level of confidence, and which I think we

634
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 2: needed at the time. I wish if I thought about it,

635
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: I bet I would be able to name a specific game,

636
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 2: but I don't. I don't think so when it comes

637
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: to that, I think just the amount of work that

638
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 2: I put in over COVID, and I think, honestly, our

639
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: whole group at that time put in a ton of

640
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: work in the off season, and when we kind of

641
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: were able to put it together sophomore year, it was

642
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: exciting to see.

643
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: Yes, just overall vibe. You came in. You're like, Sama, bucket,

644
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: this is I got it. I like, I don't know,

645
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: I like it. That's what I was looking for. Yes, So,

646
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean software year, you came out, breakout season. Junior year,

647
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: things really start to look good for you, guys. Things

648
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: were clicking, things were going on. You guys make the

649
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen, and then senior year you were injured a

650
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: little bit, played just thirteen games, but you got to

651
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: come back to the NCAA tournament and y'all made a

652
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 1: run with you come back, making the game winner, all

653
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: these different things, scored fifteen points in all your games.

654
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: So what was it like having that mindset of like

655
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: being able to work back into it, come in at

656
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: the right time at the climax of every collegious season.

657
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: Were you ready for that tournament runs? You know you

658
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: were going to come out like that as you knew

659
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: sophomore year or was it just kind of like I'm

660
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: trying to get back into this.

661
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that that was a hard thing for

662
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: me to go through.

663
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: I hadn't been injured like that before, so learned a

664
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 2: ton from that and was able to kind of concentrate on,

665
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, like you said, the timing of coming

666
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 2: back and just trying to get back for that run

667
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: in March, and our training staff here they did an

668
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: excellent job. They guided me through that and kind of

669
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 2: gave me the game plan and was able to.

670
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 3: Come back in March, and it was exciting. I obviously

671
00:26:59,480 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: want to make it.

672
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: I love this team so much and I know the

673
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 2: group was so special and wanted to be a part

674
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: of it and just be able to help them in

675
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: any way I could, even if it was just, you know,

676
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: a little impact out there to make a run, and

677
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 2: super proud of what we were able to do that year.

678
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: Obviously didn't get as far as we wanted, but we

679
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: made I think we made a lot of heads turned

680
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: that year and made a statement in different ways.

681
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: So it was fun to be a part of. Oh,

682
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: for sure, heads were turned. And I mean the game winner,

683
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: the game winner was wild. What were watching it? We

684
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: were all like, oh my god. At the time, Jordan

685
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: Hamilton that we had, she came from Northwestern, so she

686
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I ready knew Jesus a bucket. We

687
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: were like, oh god, okay, we get a big ten whatever.

688
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Then you came back healthy again. Do you feel like

689
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: sitting on the bench you're able to kind of gain

690
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: a different perspective of the game. I know for me

691
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: when I was injured, you kind of get this different

692
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: level of IQ. You see it from a coach's perspective.

693
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: You're doing all these things. I know for me, like

694
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: sitting on the sideline and I sat next to the coaches,

695
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is what they're saying. Okay, yep,

696
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: this is how you stay in the game. This is

697
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: what they're saying about my teammate, Like how I can

698
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: help them. So do you feel like when you came

699
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: back you had kind of just another level of IQ

700
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: to your game.

701
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and you explained it perfectly. You see things on

702
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: the bench that you don't see when you're out there,

703
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 2: and I think the coach has helped me with that too,

704
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: and just being able to listen to their conversations and

705
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: what's being said and what's being seen out there. It

706
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: was a chance for me to kind of affect the

707
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 2: game in a different way where I could, you know,

708
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: tell my teammates what I was seeing, and it was cool.

709
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: I learned a lot.

710
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: And then, like you said, going back and playing with

711
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 2: that experience, I think definitely had an effect. And obviously

712
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 2: you hate being injured, but it definitely teaches you some

713
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: things and it kind of.

714
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: Helps your game in different ways.

715
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 2: And it's it's cool to see you have the same

716
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: experience because it's definitely something I noticed.

717
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, for sure, I remember still on the bench

718
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: and being like, okay, you know you can sit there, yeah,

719
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: being this hole of pity and all these different things,

720
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: or you can really look at it and understand, like

721
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: I know for me, a lot of it was watching

722
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: people like Lexi Hull can break and like understanding where

723
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: they like to play on the four, so that for

724
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: you getting back out there as a point guard, you're

725
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: able to help them find those reads put them in

726
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: those spots, which not only helped to them, but now

727
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: like you get them absolutely, now you go get yourself

728
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: a bucket. It just opens up the floor so much.

729
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: But after that great run, you decided to come back

730
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: for a fifth year. What do you feel like has

731
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: been the difference maker for you guys as a program

732
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: this season? To take home a Big Ten title, to

733
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: have another number two see in the tournament.

734
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was exciting for us.

735
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: I think our main focus the whole year was taking

736
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: a game by game, especially in the Big Ten. We

737
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: mentioned how great this conference is and looking ahead is

738
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: going to get you beat, so we were able to

739
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: kind of narrow our focus to the next game of head,

740
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: you know, whether that's Iowa, whether it's Wisconsin, whether it's Nebraska.

741
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: Just focusing on that game I think give us a

742
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: lot of success. Obviously, in the regular season, we did

743
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: really well in a conference that is really tough.

744
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 3: So looking back at it.

745
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: I'd say that's probably the most important thing that we

746
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: keyed it on in that Coach Carla and Coach McGuff,

747
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: you know, wouldn't wouldn't let us look past the next game.

748
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: So it was definitely helpful. Yeah, for sure. It's so

749
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: hard not to like look beyond and do these different things,

750
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: and like even at you at the bottom of the conference,

751
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: you look at it and you're like, oh, you know,

752
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: we've been a whim and all of a sudden at

753
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: the bottom, never know is coming out like exactly, I'm like,

754
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: this isn't what you do. Why do you want to

755
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: do this tonight? It's took me a thing. But you know,

756
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: moving from last year to this season, you lose Taylor

757
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: mich Sel, lose a big part of the team, and

758
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: so how were you guys able to fill in that

759
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: gap and kind of make it look seamless? Even though

760
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: she was able to do so much for you guys last.

761
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: Year Big Shoots of Film Man.

762
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: She's obviously one of the best shooters there is really

763
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: and she she did a lot for us, and I

764
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: think moving forward to that next season, we got a

765
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: lot of pieces that we needed. Celest was able to

766
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: come and help us right away, which was huge. And

767
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: we knew shooting was going to be the thing that

768
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: we had to make up for and Celeste helped with that.

769
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: T T helped with that.

770
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: Honestly, every single one of our girls got in the

771
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: gym and was working on their shot and it was huge.

772
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: It was awesome to see Rebecca. She could shoot the

773
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: three like no one else too, So it was cool

774
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: to see. And that was definitely the area in which

775
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: we knew we were going to have to build and

776
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: having people coming in and having people that we had

777
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: just working on their game. It's pretty cool when you

778
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: have people like that on one team, and it was

779
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: it was fun to kind of all put together once

780
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: you know, this season started.

781
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, And I mean talking about all the

782
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: other players different growth, What do you feel like for

783
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: you was your main area of growth that you worked

784
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: on in the off season that translated into your senior

785
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: year at Ohio State.

786
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: I worked on a lot of things.

787
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: I think I wanted to focus on my mid range

788
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: game and my three points, you know, everything in general,

789
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: but finishing around the rim was also something I really

790
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: focused on in that offseason. Like you said, we're playing

791
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 2: against some big girls, and I think finding the different

792
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: ways to finish and just being creative with it helps

793
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 2: you out a ton. And then defensively, I always try

794
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: to stay in condition just with the press we run.

795
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: I think that's always a focus of everyone on our team.

796
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: But those are the main focuses going into that last year.

797
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I think that you can really see, like

798
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: just from an outside person watching like seeing your progression

799
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: and watching be a three level score this year was

800
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: amazing because it makes it so much harder to guard

801
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: you and then having all the attention on you, it

802
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: opens up things for your team, which I think made

803
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: a big difference. And I mean, girl, you don't get

804
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: tired what like I would hate. I wouldn't hate having

805
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: to not only guard you, but then go up against

806
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: you and just like you're still going I would goodness,

807
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 1: that's amazing. And then being one of the older players

808
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: on the team this past year, it was clear that

809
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: you were kind of that leader for you guys. When

810
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: did you step into that role and how do you

811
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: think you were able because it's kind of hard like

812
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: becoming like because I know for me, like as a senior,

813
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: I still felt so young. I'm like I'm still figuring

814
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: things out here. I am, you know, being this mother

815
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: figure taking care of people whatever. So what was that

816
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: transition like for you becoming a leader on the team,

817
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: not only this past year, but kind of even as

818
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: a young player, because you guys had a lot of

819
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: different turnover your younger years. Yeah, it was. It was

820
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: a fun experience.

821
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: I learned a ton from it, and like you said,

822
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: being able to do that kind of earlier in my

823
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: career was special. I was able to build relationships with

824
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: players pretty early, and I think when you can do

825
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: that and build relationships and kind of gain people's trust

826
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: and gain people's respect, you're able to push them a

827
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: little harder. And Cody is a great example of that

828
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: for me. I love Cody and I built an awesome

829
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: relationship with her, and I love it because I can

830
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: get on her and you can kind of keep people

831
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: in check and old I'm accountable.

832
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: So being able to do that early was huge.

833
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: And then building relationships with the newcomers that came into

834
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: and and kind of being able to lead with them

835
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: was special. And especially with this past group, a great

836
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: group of girls and a great group of girls to

837
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: just be around in general, and learn from.

838
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 3: So I think it's been fun and the five I've.

839
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: Been here for a while, but the five years have

840
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: I have definitely been worth it.

841
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, flow bye bye my favorite. But talking a little

842
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: bit about your style of play, we mentioned you do

843
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. Sharpshooter, make it steals, defensively,

844
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: three level score. Like we've talked about, what do you

845
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: feel like for you is your favorite thing about your game?

846
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: How would you describe your style of play? I know

847
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: for me, I like playing in transition. That's that's my

848
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: favorite place to be. What's your favorite place that you're

849
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: just like, ugh, this is the best? Like this is

850
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: why I love playing basketball? That's tight for you?

851
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: I oh gosh. I would say transition is definitely one

852
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: for me too. I like going fast, and I think

853
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: what time to go fast better than transition.

854
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, coming off ball screens I love too.

855
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: I love being able to set people up and get

856
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: people's shots and also being able to get to the rim.

857
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: I'd say transition and coming off ball screens are the

858
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 2: two parts of the game that are most fun to me.

859
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know those are good picks. I like those too.

860
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: So talking a little bit about your relationship with coach

861
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: macguff all those different things. Talk to me about him

862
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: and his coaching style, because he's done great things at Ohio,

863
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,479
Speaker 1: stayed over the years and really like whip teams into shape,

864
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: done all these different things. So he got Big Ten

865
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year this year. Talk to me about

866
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: his coaching style and what do you think allows him

867
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: to have every team that comes through there be so great.

868
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one of the best coaches I've been able

869
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 2: to play for and learning from him and his basketball

870
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: I Q was unreal.

871
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: His coaching style is unique.

872
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 2: I think he's someone who's going to get the best

873
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: out of you every day. I think he gets one

874
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: hundred percent out of us every day, and I think

875
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 2: that's rare and a coach. And our ability to trust

876
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: him and be able to build that relationship with him

877
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 2: too is It's pretty cool just being able to get

878
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: to know him over the years. Obviously I've been here

879
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: a while, but even the younger girls coming in, We're

880
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: able to kind of build a relationship with him quick

881
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 2: and I think once you have that trust, you know

882
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: after that you can go as far as you want.

883
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: So he gets on us for sure.

884
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: He tells us to run about geez one hundred times

885
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 2: a day, but when.

886
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: You look back at it, it's definitely worth it.

887
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 2: He got the best out of us and had so

888
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 2: much fun playing for him.

889
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's amazing. I think having a coach

890
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: where kind of that foundation is really in trust, you

891
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: can do anything with that because even when they're on you,

892
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: they're annoying you, they're making your run, You do all

893
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: these different things. You trust the vision that they have

894
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: for you and the team, which is so special. But

895
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: I want to, you know, kind of dive more into

896
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: different players on your team, somebody like Cody. What are

897
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: you really excited to watch in her growth moving into

898
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: next season? Oh?

899
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 2: So many things, so many things, And I'm so hard

900
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: on her, so I'm gonna continue to be. But she's

901
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 2: so fun to watch, even more fun to play with.

902
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 2: And I think her game she can go as far

903
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 2: as she wants it to. I think her defense is amazing,

904
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: not only in the press, but in the half court too.

905
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 2: She can really guard, and I think as she gets better,

906
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 2: she's gonna start to see that and I think her

907
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: defense is only gonna grow. And then obviously on the

908
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: offensive end, around the hoop, she's unstoppable, So I'm excited

909
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: to see her mid range game and even that three

910
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: point line.

911
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 3: I think she can can up her percentage.

912
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: And I think if she does those two things, she's

913
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: gonna be unstoppable because she obviously, like I said, around

914
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 2: the rim, she's amazing, and her footwork is amazing, and

915
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: playing with her is so fun. Passing is a part

916
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: of her game too this year that she elevated in

917
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 2: and it was awesome to see.

918
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. I think that her ceiling is

919
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: just absolutely latter world. I think that she can be amazing,

920
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: and I mean to see that she already is so

921
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: good and just like scary, like yeah, like what we're

922
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: talking about, like there's all these different things she can

923
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: add to her bag, Like it is scary. So I'm

924
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: really excited to see her continued growth. And then we

925
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,479
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about Celeste and what she brought

926
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: to the team this year. How big of a piece

927
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: was Celeste for your run that you guys were able

928
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: to have this year?

929
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 2: Huge, huge, And I respect her so much because coming

930
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: into a program like ours, where we play fast on defense,

931
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 2: we play fast on offense, that's really hard to adapt to,

932
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: and she made it look so easy on the offensive

933
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 2: end and on the defensive end. Obviously, we know what

934
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: she does on defense, and she did it for us

935
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 2: and some she's amazing, and being able to adapt to

936
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: our style of offense too was impressive to me. I

937
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: think she she affected the game in so many ways,

938
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 2: not only defensively but offensively.

939
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: So I'm so glad she came here.

940
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: I remember her visiting and I was like, you need

941
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: to come here. So I think just being able to

942
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 2: play with her for one year was awesome, And I'm

943
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: so excited to see Solos.

944
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: Has always been a menace defensively since literally forever. Any

945
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: time I ever played her, I'm like, girl, you don't

946
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: mean this. But she's also so talented offensively, and so

947
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see her in the draft and

948
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: what she does in the league and just her professional

949
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: guy is going to be great. And then the last

950
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: first time I want to touch on is Rebecca. She

951
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: is like just she does like all the little things.

952
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: I remember when we played you guys live on the

953
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: scouting before and we're like, okay, so it's this big

954
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: girl she could shoot. But then she's going to do

955
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: this and do that. So, like, what is it like

956
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: having such a versatile big to play with, because she

957
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: really does it all. Yeah, Yeah, she is awesome.

958
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: She her her personality I got close with through this

959
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: past year, and she is just an awesome human. And

960
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: then watching her on the court and watching her joy

961
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 2: that she was playing with this year was awesome. She

962
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: plays me obviously, she can shoot the crap out of

963
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: the ball, her footwork is amazing, and she's just fun

964
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 2: to play with. Her passing this year was really good too,

965
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: and she grew so much on the defensive end too

966
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 2: and rebounding. So I think her career is just getting

967
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: started to and I'm just happy to see the growth

968
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: in her game from when she first got here, and

969
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: it's awesome.

970
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 3: It's been awesome to play with her throughout that time.

971
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: She's one of those players where it's just she can

972
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: get hot and just shoot the lights out, which is

973
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: such a great thing to have. And so bringing it

974
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: back talking about how you know staying home was really

975
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: important for you, choosing her house state, how big that

976
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: was for your career, but also your family and your

977
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: sister Emmy. Talk to me about Emmy, because I've heard

978
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: like from Taylor, she's amazing. Everybody loves her, like you

979
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: need to like snippets of her personality and what she

980
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: is to the team, and just everybody talk to me

981
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: about you know, did you expect your teammates and coaches

982
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: to embrace her like they did? How amazing was just

983
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: seeing your relationship with Emmy, but also the relationship that

984
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: she created with the program and she's like everybody who

985
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: came through was like, oh Emmy, yeah, every over JC

986
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: like the whole thing.

987
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, She's the superstar for sure. And

988
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: I think just being able to see what the impact

989
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 2: she's had here, I never could have seen that coming.

990
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 2: Obviously I see it every day, but having an impact

991
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 2: on these girls on this team and them treating her

992
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 2: as part of the family was amazing and I couldn't

993
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: even ask for that. And even the coaches treating her

994
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 2: like family and making sure she's here every game. It

995
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: got to a point where when she when she's out there,

996
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: it's everyone freaks out and it Yeah, it was awesome,

997
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 2: and I think, you know, she enjoys it, and I

998
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: think she's starting to realize how rare that is and

999
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 2: how awesome that was.

1000
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 3: For her, and I'm just happy she's had.

1001
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 2: This experience because she loves the game and she's such

1002
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: a happy person and such a person you want around

1003
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 2: and for her to have an impact on not only

1004
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 2: me and my family, but you know, this university and

1005
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 2: even our fans, it's been I can't even.

1006
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: Explain how it's really amazing to see and like you said,

1007
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: just like that's not always the case, and so to

1008
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: be able to see like it says so much to

1009
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: the character of the people that you have at Ohio State,

1010
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: and just like how amazing she is, and like witnessing

1011
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: just from the outside, like she just seems so happy

1012
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: and just like such a joy to the around. I

1013
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: think it's amazing. And I mean we've seen time and

1014
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: time again teammates of yours have talked about how Emmy

1015
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: is their why when they play and so what sort

1016
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: of perspective and energy does that bring to the team

1017
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: when you as are playing and all these things, And

1018
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: when she's not there, I'm sure I would be like

1019
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: jay Z j C. Well, I don't care to be

1020
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: a trip. Where is she? Like I need it? So

1021
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: what energy did she bring to the team?

1022
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it was special.

1023
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 2: I think Ricky was one of the first people to

1024
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: say call her the why, and that's something me and

1025
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: my brother have said for years, so hearing it from

1026
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: someone on my team and it was awesome. It was

1027
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 2: kind of a game changer in the way that they

1028
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: looked at her that same way. But I think when

1029
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 2: it comes down to the experiences we get and the

1030
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 2: opportunities we get, and especially here at Ohio State, you

1031
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 2: know she's not going to have those same opportunities and

1032
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: maybe not even the same experiences that we do. So

1033
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 2: I think just not taking anything for granted and looking

1034
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 2: at life the way she does. You know, if you

1035
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 2: have a bad day and you think about her and

1036
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 2: everything she's been through and she had heart surgery at

1037
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 2: a young age, and she doesn't have a bad day,

1038
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: you know, you don't find her on a day where

1039
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 2: she's not smiling, and it puts things into perspective when

1040
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: you know you're down and when you're having a bad

1041
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: day and maybe you had a bad shooting game, it

1042
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 2: just tells you to keep going in that you can

1043
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: get through it. And when you have someone like her

1044
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 2: around you and in my life and in their life,

1045
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 2: I think it's hard to go about life in a

1046
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: negative way, and I think them being able to realize

1047
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 2: that too is pretty special and she'll never know the

1048
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 2: impact she has heard so much.

1049
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: And then my last piece about Emmy is how excited

1050
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: is she for the draft? Like, just like ask you

1051
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: about your eyefit. Does she have her outfit ready? Is

1052
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: she ready to step?

1053
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 2: Okay, she has her shoes, and her shoes are little

1054
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 2: sparkly sneakers.

1055
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: They are amazing.

1056
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if she's found her dress yet.

1057
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 2: And she is super excited everyone's she's been in contact

1058
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: with the past few days.

1059
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: She's like, Hey, every going to New York.

1060
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 2: Like I don't even think she knows what she's stepping into,

1061
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 2: but she's excited. She's she's pumped, and I think she'll

1062
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 2: definitely I have a wake up call when she gets there.

1063
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 2: And she's gonna still love the spotlight. She does well

1064
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: on the spotlight.

1065
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: So that's the fit I'm most looking forward to. Is

1066
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: I need to see it. I need to see it

1067
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: everywhere and I'm really excited. Oh so I'm excited for

1068
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: a me switch. You got to come dripped out and

1069
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: I know it's going to be amazing. But talking a

1070
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: little bit more about the draft. We talk about the

1071
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: nerves and all these different things, just kind of like

1072
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: we both stayed home for college, and I know for

1073
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: me that was a big thing is I was nervous

1074
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: to where I was going to get drafted and end

1075
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: up being across the country, which is fine, but like

1076
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, it's different. And so how do you feel

1077
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 1: about moving away, starting this next chapter of your life

1078
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: being a pro, being out of school. What's your mindset

1079
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: kind of heading into this next chapter.

1080
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, as I get closer to it, I think I

1081
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 2: get more excited. Obviously, like you said, going away from home,

1082
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 2: it's going to be different, especially for us our first time,

1083
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 2: but I'm excited. I think obviously I'll still stay in

1084
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 2: touch with them and me you'll probably call me every day,

1085
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 2: but it'll be something that I'm looking forward to at

1086
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 2: this point. I think at first I was a little nervous,

1087
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: and obviously the nerves are still going to be there,

1088
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 2: but it's exciting to take that next step and kind

1089
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 2: of go into the unknown.

1090
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: So it'll it'll be cool. Yeah, No, it'll be great

1091
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: and you'll do great. But in less than a week,

1092
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: you're getting be on a new team. New fans, new city.

1093
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a whole thing, moving probably the week

1094
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: after to training camp. Yeah so fast. But for the

1095
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: fans that may not know, describe the type of player

1096
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: that they're going to get, the type of person that

1097
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: they're bringing into their organization.

1098
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 3: I want to be that person that gives it.

1099
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 2: They're all every day, both ends of the floor, and

1100
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 2: then represents, you know, those fans in that city really well.

1101
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 2: I think it's important to know whatever jersey you're putting on,

1102
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 2: you're not just representing yourself. You're representing a whole group

1103
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 2: of people in a whole city. So I think someone

1104
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: who does that and does it well and obviously gives

1105
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 2: it they're all on the floor. That's what I want

1106
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 2: to hope to bring to a city, and I hope
