Speaker 2: I know, I'm.

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Just going to say I think we had the most competitive,

4
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: the best conference ever. But I'm excited for like a

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: new challenge. I think it's just a new beginning for everything,

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: new school, new conference. I'm excited to kind of show

7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: like what West Coast basketball looks like, because I feel

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: like people always hate on West Coast basketball.

9
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: We don't get enough for the like points behind it, Right,

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:25,680

Speaker 2: We have new season here on the podcast that calls

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: for a new icebreaker here. So, what was the first

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: concert that you ever went to?

32
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: First concert? Okay, I was in fifth grade and there's

33
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: a band called Five Seconds of Summer and the first

34
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: ever Yes, And what's crazy is I wasn't even a

35
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: fan on My friends were fans, and I lied the

36
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: whole time that I was a fan. So we went

37
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: to this concert and I knew no songs, so the

38
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: night before I stayed up memorizing every single song so

39
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't blame me at the concert.

40
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: Jesus frigs, you're out there doing all the lyrics. I

41
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 2: can see you doing that, but I get I guess.

42
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: I hope you enjoyed the concert once you went. Yeah,

43
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: it was great, Okay, wonderful, wonderful. Well, jumping into things here,

44
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: it will just start with the landscape of what's going

45
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: on transfer to USC and let's just let the people

46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: know that You got your degree early from the Stanford University,

47
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: so you're a grad transfer, so you're the ultimate student

48
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: athlete basically. So what was that like? Graduating early, extra courses,

49
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: all those different things. How did that come about?

50
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely was very challenging. I was taking twenty

51
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: two units during season, so like I applied for extra

52
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: units in season, and then my supring quarter was like

53
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: book twenty units just to make sure I could finish,

54
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: so I ended ride at one eighty units. It was difficult,

55
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: but I think, you know, I had a lot of

56
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: support around me, so it wasn't too challenging. I also think,

57
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: like during season, like I'm in a routine that it's

58
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: easy to like, okay, practice class, homework, repeat, So it

59
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: wasn't too hard in like getting my homework done. But

60
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: I am glad that this whole process is over and

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm fine. I'm finally somewhere.

62
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you're back to the normal ones. I mean,

63
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: and just for people to understand, we usually take what

64
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: twelve to fifteen units a quarter or so twenty two

65
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: was insane, So huge congradulations with that. But any who,

66
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: you had an amazing three years at Stanford. So what

67
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: motivated you to enter the transfer portal.

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely wasn't an easy decision. Like it's something

69
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: that like I went back and forth on after our

70
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: last game. I was like do I do this? Do

71
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: I not? Do I do this? Do I not? I

72
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: talked to so many people, but then I also had

73
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: to just like block out everything and be like, what

74
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: decision do I want to make? What decision will I

75
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: be happy with? And I think a big fact was like, yes,

76
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: I got my degree, but like I'm the oldest child,

77
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: I want to be able to come home play in

78
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: front of my family. I'm from Los Angeles, so I

79
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: have a younger sister who plays basketball, So being able

80
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: to come back and support her, have my parents come

81
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: to my games, my high school, like just my whole

82
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: village that helped me get to where I'm at. For

83
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: them to be able to come and see me play,

84
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: it's something that's super huge and I don't think anywhere

85
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: else could really replicate that. And then just from like

86
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: a basketball standpoint, like I've done my school, so I'm

87
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: kind of ready to like go all in with the

88
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: athlete part and kind of just prepare myself to become

89
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: a pro and so I can have like a more

90
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: seamless transition to the W and I felt like USC

91
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: had the tools in place. Of course I have to

92
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: do the work as well, but like you had the

93
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: tools in place to help me get ready for more

94
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: of like a pro style offense. So I just thought

95
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: AS seem as the place to be.

96
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, best of both worlds is what it sounds like.

97
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: And I think it's so special what you talked about

98
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: with all the younger siblings that you have and how

99
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: much they look up to you, just from me being

100
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: able to see them on the sidelines and they idolize you,

101
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: and so for you to be around and beyond that,

102
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: just being a hometown kid coming back to LA, what

103
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: does that mean you to represent in such a high

104
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: fashion and now joining Juju, who's another LA Hooper just

105
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: the two of you guys, and there's so many LA

106
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: Hoopers on that team actually with Rant, Marshall, Fisher, Clarice,

107
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: like the religio just goes on and on. So you

108
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: guys are an LA team representing USC. So what is

109
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: that like to kind of have that hometown energy with

110
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: you guys?

111
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's huge. As you mentioned, a lot

112
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: of us like it's super funny because like we all

113
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: kind of grew up playing against each other and now

114
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: we're on the same team, so it's something super special.

115
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: But like we're kind of all from all of la

116
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: so for us to be able to bring our respective

117
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: communities to these games and have them cheering for us,

118
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: like already know the citdiums are going to be packed,

119
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: not just because of what we can do on the court,

120
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: but because of who we are and who we mean

121
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: to the places that we're coming from. So I think

122
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: it's just huge. I think that's like a huge thing.

123
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Of course playing for my family, but playing for the

124
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: city I grew up in, and I think there's again,

125
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: there's nowhere that can replace that. So I'm really excited.

126
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: And just the fact that it's not just me, but

127
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: it's like a multiple of us that are home kind

128
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: of hometown heroes. It's something that's super amazing and one

129
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: of a kind.

130
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: It's really a full circle moment for all of you.

131
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure growing up years with each other's biggest competitors,

132
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: always going ahead to head all these different things, but

133
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: like now for it to be a lot of your

134
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: senior years and you have a few young players as well,

135
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: but just kind of have that full moment where now

136
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 2: you guys get to be teammates, pushing to go to

137
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: a Final four, pushing for a Natty, all these different things.

138
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: And I mean now being in the Big Ten, like

139
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: now showing kind of the Midwest and East Coast what

140
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 2: that LA basketball style is. So what are you looking

141
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: forward to moving into the Big Ten. What do you

142
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: think the different playing styles, different tendencies, how those things

143
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: are going to mesh.

144
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: One thing, I will say, I'm super sad about the

145
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. I know, I'm just gonna say, I think

146
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: we had the most competitive, the best conference ever, and

147
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: like you build relationship with all these girls, So it's

148
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: like kind of sad to lose that. But I'm excited

149
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: for like a new challenge. I think it's just a

150
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: new beginning for everything, new school, new conference. I'm excited

151
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: to kind of show like what West Coast basketball looks like,

152
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: because I feel like people always hate on West Coast basketball.

153
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: We don't get enough else.

154
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: Like points behind it, right.

155
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: What's the evidence, what's the facts come on exactly exactly.

156
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited to show the world kind of what West

157
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Coast basketball is like kind of bring that La swag.

158
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,119
Speaker 1: We'ress gonna be on Fox a lot, so there'll definitely

159
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: be a lot more eyes. But I'm excited just kind

160
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: of to continue promoting women's basketball on a bigger stage.

161
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And I mean what you said about

162
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve dissolving, Like we had final four teams

163
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: every year and more than just basketball, like in every sport,

164
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: and so it's crazy to think that now it's dissolved.

165
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: But I think with the way that PAC twelve network

166
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: was set up and not have in the national media coverage,

167
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: now they're going to see all of that same talent

168
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: on different teams, but really gonna have to witness it firsthand.

169
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: And I feel like that happened last year a lot

170
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: with Oregon State, like pushing to an lait eight. People

171
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: had seen them all year. They're like, oh, who's Reagan

172
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: Beeer's who's tu La. We're like, we've been known like

176
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,960

00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: their Cheryl Miller Tina Thomps, and Lisa Leslie, Cynthia Cooper.

178
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: The list goes on and on. How does it feel

179
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: to be tapping into a legendary program like that? Just

180
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: with so many Hall of Famers, so many go to

181
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: the game.

182
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: I think it's you can't even describe it, Like words

183
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: can't describe how it feels to play for a program

184
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: with such legendary players. Like I were number forty four

185
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: and that number is retired here Cynthia Cooper's number, and

186
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to wear this year. I'm already I got

187
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: to go ahead. During my transfer process, I thought about it.

188
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, forty four. I was like me

189
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: just I'm like, guards don't wear forty four. But I'm like,

190
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: let me just see. And I was like cool, Like

191
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: out of all people, it's cool wing like she was.

192
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, is this really gonna stop me

193
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: from going here? That I can't wear forty four? I'm like,

194
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: what other number would I wear? Like the number four

195
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: was already taken and I'm like what would I do?

196
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: And like my parents are trying to like like it

197
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: could be a rebrand for one year, like you can

198
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: go it's like a new Kiki, I'm like, no, I'm

200
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And then actually one of the coaches

201
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: reached out to me and was like, Kiki, like what

202
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: number do you want to wear here? And I was like,

203
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, does that mean I can't have forty four?

204
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: And I just asked. I was like, is it possible

205
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: I can wear forty four? And they're like, we figured

206
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: do you want that? And forty four works? Like you

207
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,200

208
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: oh oh, Like I was like yes, like it's meant

209
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,920

211
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: don't know, yeah wear so no, Yeah, it all worked out.

212
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: I was like They're like, oh, if it's perkiky anything,

213
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: we'll get you forty four.

214
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: I felt definitely very value, very honored. Yeah, these legends

215
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: like they pour into us. They want to succeed. You know,

216
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: Miss Cheryl Miller, she's always at all of our games,

217
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: like front row. I actually saw her at the All

218
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: Star and we were talking a little bit. But she's great,

219
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: Like number one supporter Lisa of course, Like I think

220
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: it's just amazing to kind of have them and they're

221
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: still around and they are always pouring into our program,

222
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: always uplifting us, and I feel like that's something that

223
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: you don't really see everywhere, But I just think how

224
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: hands on they are is something that's going to really

225
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: help help us. They've been to where we want to go,

226
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: They've done what we want to do, so kind of

227
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: having that mentorship is something that's super special for me.

228
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: I mean that's so amazing. Also for somebody to allow

229
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: you to wear the retired number, that just speaks volumes

230
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: to how good you are to you, which is so

231
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: excited is your star and so you know, having them

232
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: come to practices reach out like that, that just must

233
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: be so amazing because like somebody like you, like you

234
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: just want to soak up all that knowledge and I'm

235
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: sure all your team do so to get to play

236
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: in front of them, play for that history, it's amazing.

237
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: But talk to me about who you've e been watching

238
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: the WNBA this season and which players have really been

239
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 2: impressing you.

240
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think everybody knows that it's just kind of

241
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: my favorite player, So I've really been tapped into her

242
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: and I finally got to see her in person for

243
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: the first time when the aces with the sparks, and

244
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: I honestly just it looks so effortless for her. I

245
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: know it's not like it's not easy, but it just

246
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: looks very effortless. And the way she's able to get

247
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: to her spots is something that I really noticed. But overall,

248
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: on the w what I noticed is like pick and

249
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: roll is huge, Like being able to guard pick and rolls,

250
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: especially as a big like I can't just sit and help.

251
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: So I feel like those are some things that I'm like, Okay,

252
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: I got to pick up on that. And then honestly,

253
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: just coming in as a rookie, I'm like, let me

254
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: just do all the little things, like not focus on

255
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: like I have to score, I have to do whatever.

256
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: It's just like, can I bring that intensity? And I

257
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: feel like that's something that Angel does really well. It's

258
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: just like she's very tenacious on the glass, like does

259
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: all the little intangibles, which is why you see her succeed.

260
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: So I feel like focusing on the little things will

261
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: help bring out the bigger things rather than coming in

262
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: being like I need to score, I need to be

263
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: the man, I need to do ABC, and I'm kind

264
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: of just knowing what my role is and just honing

265
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: in on that.

266
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: Oh you are so wise.

267
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: Wow, kigs what Wow, I'm growing up growing.

268
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: Up right before my eyes. This is crazy. Well, just

269
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: talking about like you obviously do have the little things,

270
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: but you also have so many things that make you

271
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: great and make you stand out, which is why you're

272
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 2: the hottest thing out of the portal. Why are you

273
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: going to be a star this year? And so what

274
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: are you most excited for moving into obviously this season,

275
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: but beyond translating to the W what parts of your

276
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: game do you think are just gonna like come out

277
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: out of the gates you're running, You're gonna be just fine.

278
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: I think defense, That's something that I've been honing in

279
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: on this like this summer with USC, Like coach b Like,

280
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: she's just been defense. Defense, defense. So I think I

281
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: can do a lot more to you know, I do

282
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: things offensively, but I think I can I can make

283
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: it more of an effort defensively, So blocking altering shots

284
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: things like that. So being more of a threat defensively

285
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: something that I'm working on and that I think will

286
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: be something that can translate over to the W. And

287
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: then of course my three point shot. I've been working

288
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: on it. It's going to come out this season. We're

289
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: going to see it, so kind of just being a

290
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: three level score is what I'm trying to work on

291
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: a lot more this summer.

292
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'm really excited to see the three

00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: limits my options. Yeah, I'm gonna say.

Speaker 1: Why don't I want to say kangaroo?

Speaker 2: You're about to be boxing a kangaroo?

318
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: Why don't want to say kangaroo? And I could see

321
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: my money in.

322
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: Your Mine's a giraffe. I feel like I would just

323
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: take out the legs. It's gonna be my second one, right,

324
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: just take out the legs and then keep it pushing it.

325
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, I changed my answer. I'm gonna say a

326
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: deer because I could also take out the legs.

327
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: All right, bro, whatever whatever? Next next topic? Here you go,

328
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: moving into the transfer portal. I want you to give

329
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: me your scanner report on some of these players that

330
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: have been in the trench of portal. Big names, new conferences,

331
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: new teams. Let's get into it. Starting with Oregon State,

332
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: our girl, Reagan Beers moving to Oklahoma. How hard is

333
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 2: it to guard Reagan? What is she like, what is

334
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: she going to bring to the Big twelve.

335
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, if she gets in that paint,

336
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: it's over. Let her score. If you if you try

337
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: to guard her, you're gonna bow her and you're gonna

338
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: be sitting on that bench. So if she's in the paint,

339
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: let her score. I'd say try to keep her out.

340
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: She's very strong, she's a great I think she's the

341
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: highest percentage of field goal from returning this season. But

342
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: she can finish super super well. So she's she's hard

343
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: to guard, and I'm glad I don't have to guard

344
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: her anymore. But yeah, no longer the conference.

345
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, goodbye, bye bye. Alright with you? Okay, well another

346
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: Big ten team. Here we go, Daja, Kelly, you and

347
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: c to Oregon. What is that going to be like

348
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: her coming to organ I didn't see that happening, by

349
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: the way. I know. I thought she was like miss

350
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: you and see and I said, I.

351
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: Thought it was gonna be like surprised, like wait, I'm

352
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: coming back actually, but.

353
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I thought too. Okay, but what do

354
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: you think because Orgon has kind of had a bit

355
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: of a downacebell these past few seasons, so what is

356
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: she going to bring to that team.

357
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: I think that's what Oregon needs, Like she's a spark

358
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: that they need. As you said, like they've they've had

359
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: the greats like we've seen Sabrina saw too, all of that.

360
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: So I think Aja will kind of bring that spark

361
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: back at Oregon kind of like get them back on

362
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: track to where they've been. But I think she'll be

363
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: great for them. You know, she does what she does,

364
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, I think I think Oregon would be good.

365
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too. I think that they're bringing

366
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: in some good pieces as well as you guys with

367
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: your new teammate, Tvo Talia. Talk to me about Tulia

368
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: because we've always known her from like an opponent standpoint. Wow,

369
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: So now for her to be your teammate, what are

370
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: you most excited about getting played with her?

371
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: So we're not only teammates, we're roommates. So we lived together.

372
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this girl is ten out of ten.

373
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: She's like probably one of the hardest workers I've ever seen.

374
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: She's in that like we have seven am workouts and

375
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: then we work out at eight am, and then she's

376
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: still in the gym. She'll come home, go back to

377
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: the gym, like she's in the gym twenty four to

378
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: seven like artist workers ever, and like she's really like

379
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: intentional about what she does on the court and things

380
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: like that she can shoot, she can pass, like she

381
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: does it all and like these are things some of

382
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: the things. I'm like, I'm sorry, we're gonna say. I

383
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: feel like they could have used her a little bit better.

384
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, CEO, like you have all

385
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: this in your bag, Like, oh my gosh, she's super

386
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: exciting to play with, like she's a threat to score.

387
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: But then also she knows how to pass out of

388
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: screens and things like that. So I'm super excited for

389
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: everyone to kind of see this dynamic that we have

390
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: going on, but not a ten person a ten player.

391
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: Oh I'm so excited to see it. I feel like,

392
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: you guys are gonna be such a great deal. There's

393
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: so many different matt like do thos that can be

394
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 2: put together with your team, you do you want to

395
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: pick it, roll tvo. The list really just goes on.

396
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: So I'm really excited to see that. And then my

397
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: last trance we're going to talk about is Hayley Vanlidth

398
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: to TCU gonna be playing with our girl, Aggie gonna

399
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: go crazy. Oh my goodness, I'm so excited to see

400
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: that because TCU is really reloading, like they brought in

401
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: so many good pieces, and I feel like her like

402
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: that's the thing that they need to really push them

403
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: over the edge. So talk to me about Heley going

404
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: to TCU.

405
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: I agree. I think even last season they got great

406
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: pieces and they were like on the rise, like undefeated,

407
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: and then a lot of injuries kind of happened. So

408
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: I think this is a good spot for her to

409
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, get back to who she is,

410
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: get back to HBL. But I think is gonna be

411
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: really good. I think they're gonna be in the tournament.

412
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a top competitive team. I know they

413
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: played South Carolina this year, I guess and I've talked

414
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: about it, but I know she's super excited and I

415
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: think TCU is definitely a sleeper team that people should

416
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: be on the lookout for.

417
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more. I feel like they were last

418
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: year than all the injuries and having the walk on

419
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: tryouts and things.

420
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: That was what can we talk about that for a

421
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: quick second?

422
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: What please give me the scoop give me the Aggie team.

423
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: First of all, it was all over my TikTok, so

424
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: I set her everything and she's like, girl, this is

425
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: like real life. Like actually yeah, Like they had a

426
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: bunch of people come in and try out, and then

427
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: I think a few girls made the team and that

428
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: some of them. I think maybe one or two walk

429
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: ons are still on the team for this season. So yeah,

430
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: they definitely like did their thing. But I was like,

431
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: this is not real life like you guys. Actually it's crazy,

432
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: but that's what it came down to. So that's what

433
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: they had to do.

434
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: Taking it back to the roots for a minute. Grew

435
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: up in La hometown hero basically five star recruit by ESPN,

436
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: two time Los Angeles Player of the Year. McDonald's all American.

437
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: Talk to me about growing up in La, which there's

438
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: so many La Hoopers that come out. I feel like, so,

439
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: were there anyones that you really modeled your game after

440
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: that you went to their games to kind of watch them,

441
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 2: different things like that, any role models.

442
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: What's really crazy is I didn't really start getting into

443
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: basketball until eighth grade.

444
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: Oh you did tell me?

445
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So I didn't like grow up like oh

446
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: going to a game or whatever, but by default, like

447
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: I was a Sparks fan, so Candice Parker and Lisa

448
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: Leslie like idols in my house. But like I never

449
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: really went to any w games or any college, Like

450
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: I didn't go to USC or UCLA or anything, So

451
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: there was no one that I really modeled my game

452
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: after until honestly, I want to say, my freshman year

453
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: of college and I was like, oh, Angel Wlson's kind

454
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: of cool. And then I was like, hey, let me

455
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: take let's take some things, or like I've always had

456
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: like NBA guys that I've like looked up to, but

457
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: I was never like, oh, let me model my game

458
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: after like Lebron or Kobe or anything like that. Like

459
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: Kobe was who I grew up watching, but I was

460
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: never like, oh, let me take this or take that.

461
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: It was just more so like watching it as a fan.

462
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: So I feel like, honestly, my playing style is kind

463
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: of a mix of like Mumbo jump but whatever I've

464
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: I've been taught, like things that I've seen now like

465
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: that I'm older, I feel like I see the game

466
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: from a different perspective, Like I'm not just like, oh,

467
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing a drum, Like okay, how could I see

468
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: the defense coming and I'm making a counter like I'm

469
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: actually reading the defense, Whereas before, like you know, my

470
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: freshman year, I was just running and throwing things up

471
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: like that's what I was doing. Whereas like now I

472
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: feel like I'm like.

473
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: Wait, you were still in buckets.

474
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: Oh I tried. But now I'm like slowing down, Like

475
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: the game is a little bit slower for me, which

476
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: I think has been super helpful and allowing me to

477
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 1: get to my own spots. But yeah, there's no one

478
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: that I really grew up watching, which I'm kind of

479
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: sad about, but hopefully for the next generation and like

480
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: for my kids too, there's people that they can look

481
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: up to.

482
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and I feel like that next generation player

483
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: is already looking up to you, like you are now

484
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: in that position that you weren't really looking at, which

485
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: I think is so cool to now be a part of.

486
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: But coming out of high school, you guys had a

487
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: really strong class who were some of the top players

488
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: that you remember going head to head.

489
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: With well Brook So Brooke, our Standford teammate. Brooke and

490
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: I were always head and head. So the two years

491
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: that I didn't win Player of the Year, she won it,

492
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: so it was okay, We're always back and forth. My

493
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: last ever high school game like was against Brooke and

494
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: modern days they ended my high school career, which she

495
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: always bragged about to this day. She was queen, like

496
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: queen of Southern California was Brooks. She's that girl. She's

497
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: still that girl. So going against brook all the time

498
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: was super challenging. Going against Raya Marshall, who's now my

499
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: teammate shot blocker, Like, I was scared to go into

500
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: pay against her because that balls getting swatted. So I'm

501
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: glad that we're teammates now, like everything is coming full circle.

502
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: I played against Clarice, who's really strong and physical in

503
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: the post. Now we're teammates. I played against Juju. I

504
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: want to say my junior year we played against each

505
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: other when she was at one word and like that

506
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: was super fun game. But yeah, I think, honestly, I'm

507
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna give love to all my LA girls. I feel

508
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: like playing in California was super tough, super difficult, and

509
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Tapelia basketball is always super good even with AAU.

510
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: We have like one hundred million California teams.

511
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: Seriously, there's like four in LA and uybl or.

512
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: Something, yes, and then even the Bay too. There's so

513
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: many teams sudging California in general, like probably were the

514
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: most the most fun games I've played, but alsome the

515
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: most competitive games I've played as well too.

516
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I feel like like the state championships

517
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: is so hard because like the South, I feel like, honestly,

518
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: the South may be a little bit stronger than the North,

519
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: but like the North has a good top but listen, listen,

520
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: the northern top teams are really good, but like there's

521
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: definitely like the one through eight pool maybe stronger, but

522
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: then like you win your Southern section, it's like, damn,

523
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: now I gotta go play the Southern teams. I'n't even

524
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: played them before. Like there's so much talent in Calli

525
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: and all the different AU teams, high school teams, it's

526
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: just spread out, which is insane. But talking about your

527
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: high school experience, telling about your recruiting process, your number

528
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: nineteen year class, very high, McDonald's all American, all those things,

529
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 2: But what was your recruiting process, Like how easy was

530
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 2: it for you to narrow down these schools? Tell me

531
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 2: all about it.

532
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it's hard for me to say

533
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: no sometimes, especially as like I think I got my

534
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: first offer maybe when I was a freshman, so like

535
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: as a how old was I fourteen? Like fourteen year

536
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: old up until seventeen, Like, it was really hard for

537
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: me to be like, sorry, I'm not coming, Like I

538
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: didn't want to hurt these people's feelings, even though they're

539
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: like every call, yeah, everything, ever all I'm like, I

540
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: don't want to hurt this old man woman's feeling. Like

541
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: I felt so bad.

542
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

543
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: So like I feel like, for like a lot of it,

544
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: I kept talking to schools way longer than I needed

545
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: to when I knew I wasn't going to go there,

546
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: So I feel like it was difficult because I didn't

547
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: know how to say no. And then I also wasn't

548
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: someone who wanted my parents involved, because I was like

549
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: they were involved in the process, but I wanted to

550
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: be the one to be like, hey, coach, thank you,

551
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: but no, I didn't want my parents doing that for me.

552
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: So I feel like that made it stressful on my end.

553
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: But once I got to my senior year, I was like,

554
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: I want this to be done, so I kind of

555
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: just I literally spent one day called every thank you, no,

556
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, no, thank you and kind of

557
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: went I did and I was like, thank you so much.

558
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: And what the worst part that sucks is like when

559
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: first of all, they I never call them, so they're

560
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: also like hey, Kiki, like what's going on? And they

561
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: start having a whole conversation and I'm like, damn, like

562
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: we've already talked for thirty minutes and I'm about to

563
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, no, thank you.

564
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm actually whole conversation was a waste.

565
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: What's going on? Yeah, but I don't know how to

566
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: say no, so I'm just like uh huh uh huh.

567
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, so one, can we get you on

568
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: a visit? I'm like so yeah. But I think once

569
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: I got to my senior year and I kind of

570
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: narrowed it down to my five schools, so it was

571
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: like UCLA, Stanford, Notre Dame, Yukon, Baylor, I was kind

572
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: of like okay, and it was kind of easier. I

573
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: knew what I wanted any what I was looking for,

574
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: and I ultimately decided on Stanford, you know, best of

575
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: both worlds academic, athletically, still in California, not too far

576
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: from home. But honestly, I think my process towards the

577
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: end was really easy. All the coaches were super standing, respectful.

578
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's kind of how it goes. But

579
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: I think towards the end it was less stressful than

580
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: it was at the beginning. I just talked to anybody,

581
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: and everybody, yeah, any school I said. I was like, okay, yes,

582
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: I'll come. So no.

583
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: I think that's such a common experience because when you're

584
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: so young, you don't really understand that it's a business

585
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, and that these coaches

586
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 2: here know more than they say yes. So like when

587
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: you say no, it's hard, but at the end of

588
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: the day, it's helping them because now they can put

589
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 2: their efforts towards somebody who wants to go to that school,

590
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 2: and there's no hard feelings about it. But I think

591
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 2: it's so hard when you get to those final five

592
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: schools and like you're so close with all these coaches,

593
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 2: you've been talking there for years. I remember like crying

594
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: calling people no. I was like, I'm so sorry, like

595
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 2: I love you, but I just can't come.

596
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: It's so hard.

597
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: But I feel like you never know where the coaches

598
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: are going to end up. They could be moving schools,

599
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: or whatever. So like the fact that you did it yourself,

600
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: it speaks volumes to your character and people are going

601
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 2: to remember that. Like I know, I don't even go

602
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: to UCLA. They weren't even my top five. But like

603
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: me and Corey have such a great relationship. She's like,

604
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: you ever need anything. I'm like, girl, I got you,

605
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 2: of course the best. So it's crazy how that business works.

606
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: But getting into Stanford your freshman year, talk to me

607
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: about your first days on campus. Oh my gosh, first impressions, Geeki,

608
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: tell me of me and.

609
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: You, Oh my gosh. Okay, I think we've talked about

610
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: it a little bit, but I thought you didn't like me.

611
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 2: I remember.

612
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, she doesn't. And also

613
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: like you're like Queen Stanford, like Stanford, is you like

614
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: your Stanford woman's basketball. So I'm coming in. I'm like, Okay,

615
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: I hope this girl likes me, like she's Stanford face

616
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: to Stanford. And I was just like, oh, she doesn't

617
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: like It was never anything like you didn't say anything

618
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: to me that. I was like, oh, she's mean, like nothing.

619
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, she's not rocking with me. That's

620
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: literally what I thought, And I was like, ah, sad.

621
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: I remember talking to Jordan about it because I think

622
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: we didn't move into you that year, but it was

623
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: like later in the summer and I remember talking to

624
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: her and I was like, so was it GEK, does

625
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 2: she don't like me or something. She was like, She's

626
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: like she thinks the same thing. I was like, oh

627
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 2: my god, no, So then I remember like, yeah, close

628
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: to whatever whatever. I feel like something about me and

629
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: you is, even in those times where we thought we

630
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: didn't like each other and never talked about it, I

631
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: feel we always had such a great on court chemistry

632
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 2: and like from your freshman year, just like pick and rolls,

633
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 2: but this time you got in the game, I was like,

634
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 2: get a bucket. Play.

635
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 3: We were like this, Like when we played anything, we

636
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: were We're like that, And I feel like that was

637
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 3: so cool because like even though your freshman year, I

638
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: don't remember averages, were playing time, all these different things,

639
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 3: but I remember whenever you got in the game, it

640
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 3: was like immediate impact you came.

641
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: In, I was like, oh, drag go set a screen

642
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: roll to the ram, like let's get her some toches.

643
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 2: And I feel like that same impact it just continued

644
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 2: to grow and seeing you last year forty one points,

645
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 2: thirty points, most improved player, like all these different things

646
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: like you've always been that way, which is so cool.

647
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you more flowers a damn this so

648
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: we can get back into this.

649
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: Thanks.

650
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: You talk to me about getting to Stanford those first

651
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: few practices. Was it what you expected? Just kind of

652
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: the whole vibe.

653
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I was super nervous one because it's like

654
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to college. But then two, y'all just came

655
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: off of winning a Natty, So I'm like, y'all are

656
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: the big dogs, like come on and like nobody can

657
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: touch you guys. So I'm like, okay, how am I

658
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: going to integrate into this system? We had so many

659
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: post players like.

660
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: Yo, I'm like how do I?

661
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: How do I break into this thing? So I was

662
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: just like, oh my gosh. But I think our first

663
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: practice it was like still work, which I think was

664
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: super nice because I was like, okay, relax, like just

665
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: make a layup and get in line, like it's okay,

666
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: start with that, exactly.

667
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 2: Make the layup.

668
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: But I think the summer is like super super helpful

669
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: because any nerves or jitters I had we got it out.

670
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: I got super close to all of you guys, like

671
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: we all live in the same dorm, so like, I

672
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: think that really helped a lot and allowed me to

673
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 1: just like play freely and not be so caught up

674
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: in like, my gosh, you can't make mistakes, someone's going

675
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: to say this about me, blah blah blah blah. I

676
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: think we also had like great leadership, like we had

677
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: like six seniors or whatever, and then like, of course

678
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: you were a captain as well. So I feel like, yeah,

679
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: you guys also did a great job allowing me to

680
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: feel comfortable. I'm like, you got it, Like who cares, Like,

681
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: just keep going, keep playing. So I feel like you

682
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: guys pouring into me at a time where I didn't

683
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: have the most confidence in myself was super huge and

684
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: a lot of me to like continue going and then

685
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: go into my sophomore year and then go into this year.

686
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: But I kind of feel like I needed like those

687
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: moments where I was like okay, like kind of like learning,

688
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: like I have to take a backseat and learn, like

689
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: let me learn what college is about. And I feel

690
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: like that's something as a freshman, like you kind of

691
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: go and expecting like oh, I'm gonna do this and this.

692
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: The reality is it's very few players that are able

693
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: to go in and do that, especially like Stanford was stacked,

694
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: and my freshman year like super super stacked. So I

695
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: feel like as a freshman kind of taking the role

696
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: of like, let me learn, let me sooke up as

697
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: much as I can, rather than going in and being

698
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: like I'm going to be the man and ABCD. So

699
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: in hindsight, I'm like, I'm grateful for my freshman year

700
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: because I think I did learn a lot and it

701
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: helped to build me into who I am now. But

702
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: it was it was it was tough at times.

703
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, no freshman year's tough. But I feel like especially

704
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: at a place like like like Stanford where every year

705
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: the team's backed, so it's really hard to figure out

706
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: where you fit in all these different things. The system

707
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: we were running that year with the Princeton office like

708
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: that takes forever to learn, like all the different pieces

709
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: to it. It's hard and academically, like there's a lot

710
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: going on, and I know our summer schedule was like insane.

711
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: We have torny workouts, individuals, team da da dad. I

712
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: don't know, looking back, I don't know how I survived,

713
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: because oh my god, I could not do that. Today.

714
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm eighty years old. Talk about your

715
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: freshman year. Did you have a horror story? Maybe? I

716
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: know I have many film horror stories, just of turnovers

717
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: and whatnot. In Tara asked me, But I don't know

718
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: what that was. But you know, do we have any

719
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: horror stories, funny moments that you remember from your freshman year?

720
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 1: Okay, horror story? It was we played Tennessee or we

721
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: were going to play Tennessee. And I love Tara, love

722
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: her a queen. But it was a point when and

723
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: she was like she told me probably first, like Kiki,

724
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: I just want you to you know, I was rushing

725
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: my shots. I was, but she's like, I want you

726
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: to just, you know, set a screen and roll rebound.

727
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: Don't worry about scoring at all. And I was like, damn,

728
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: like I can't even score. I was like sad about it,

729
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: but I was like whatever. Then she called the whole

730
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: team and she was like, everybody, when Kiki gets on

731
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: the block, give her a look, but don't pass the ball.

732
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: I remember this.

733
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I know, She's like, I don't

734
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: know you and passed the ball, She's gonna screen and

735
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: a rebound, and I was like, damn, I don't know

736
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: how to play basketball anymore. So I feel like that

737
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: was something that was kind of horrific. But then the

738
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: next game Tennessee, I played well. I was like you had.

739
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, cakes, But yeah, that buildt in

740
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: character for sure. My freshman year.

741
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: Yes, freshman year is full of character buildings. I said

742
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: for everybody, it really is. It really it really tests

743
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: you because it's like, wow, like I need to work

744
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: on this and he's that, but also like still keeping

745
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: that internal confidence in what you bring. I totally that's

746
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: like a forgotten memory that I had. I remember sitting

747
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: there meeting and looking around and you're like, damn, no,

748
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: that was crazy. But moving into your sophomore year, you

749
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: would have insane. I feel like every year in college

750
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: you've had a crazy jump just in your confidence, your skills,

751
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: all these different things. And so talking about growing and

752
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: improving your game, what do you feel like you have

753
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: focused on in these summers because you always have a

754
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: huge jump, So what was your focus freshman and sophomore

755
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: and then last year, sophomore in junior year to have

756
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: those jumps.

757
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: Even having I feel like the work remains the same,

758
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: like adding some things like definitely the summer I have

759
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: more of an emphasis on like my three point shot,

760
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: but I think the work remains the same, like getting

761
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: to my pull up or getting to my jump shot,

762
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: my job jump shot, attacking, Definitely trying to drive right

763
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: more because everyone thinks I drive left, but I digress.

764
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: But I think the work remains the same. I think

765
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: it's my mindset that has changed. So I want to say,

766
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: like my summer going to my sophomore year, like I

767
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: was working hard, but I didn't understand what I'm doing.

768
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't like this is a game, this is an

769
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: ABC and D. I was just like, okay, I don't

770
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: have to work out to work out, that's how you

771
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: get better. Whereas my summer going into my junior year,

772
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: I was like, no, either I make something shape now

773
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: or I'm doing basketball after college. Like there's nothing really

774
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: So I was like really intentional about like I'm going

775
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: to be aggressive in doing this. Every rep I did,

776
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: I was like, no, it's going to be game. Like

777
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: I really worked on like my mental and just like

778
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: positive self talk, just kind of increasing my confidence and

779
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: things like that, and I think that's what helped me

780
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: because I played more freely. Like everyone is saying that

781
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: I've been doing these things since, you know, freshman year

782
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: whatever high school. But I think because I was able

783
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: to play more freely, I had more confidence in myself.

784
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: I was able to showcase it more consistently than I

785
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: had in the past. So I would really say, like

786
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: the work was the same, but it's really my mental

787
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: that kind of did a one to eighty and was

788
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: super super beneficial for me.

789
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: I think, like what you said, like it's been there

790
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: the whole time, and I think that's so specially you're

791
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: able to find it because you're still so young, and

792
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: so for you to able to understand like it's just

793
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: a mental switch and having that confidence that you can

794
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: do it every single time that consistently, I think that's

795
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: what set to you apart last year, and it's going

796
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: to continue to do that this season, which I'm so

797
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: excited about. And like you're talking about that jump that

798
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 2: you had from jumping up to nineteen points, eleven rebounds,

799
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: you're averaging a double double, all these different things, and

800
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 2: then we get into March madness peeks. You know, you

801
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: went the little big like you. You at some points

802
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: in those games, like obviously you have Tina, you have Cam,

803
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 2: you have handled like all these different weapons. But like

804
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 2: some of those games, it came down to you and

805
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: you put the team on your back and you did

806
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: what needed to be done. Like dropping forty points, that's

807
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: insane and so for you. Oh and you hit your

808
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: thousand career point. Let me not just skip over that.

809
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 2: That's crazy. But Iowa State forty one, ot win all

810
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: these different things? What did we eat before the game?

811
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 2: Tell me what made it special? You don't owed something

812
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: like what was your mindset heading into that game? But

813
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: more so in the fourth quarter, in that crunch time

814
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 2: for you to will take over like you did.

815
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: I will say I think my body like wanted to say,

816
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: like I was physically I could not go anymore, Like

817
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: I was exhausted, like I always cramp up too, So

818
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: like I think I was off on the sidelights and

819
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: like on the bike jumping off like very dramatic of me,

820
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: but very on brand.

821
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, what's new new, Very on brand.

822
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: But I think it was just like again back to

823
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: the mental I was like I I honestly wanted to

824
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: win it more for my teammates than for myself. And

825
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: then also the year before, we ended our season at

826
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: home against Ole Miss, so I was like, there's no

827
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: way two years in a row we lose it back

828
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: back back to Like I was like, that is not happening.

829
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: So I kind of feel like I just mustard something

830
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: like that little extra because like when I missed that

831
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: shot to go to overtime, I was defeated. I was like,

832
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: come on, five more and five minutes. You're like, it's

833
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 1: just five minutes, but five minutes in basketball is forever.

834
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: It's forever. I'm going against a great post player on

835
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: the other team to have a great guard as well,

836
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: who also had like thirty something points. So it wasn't

837
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: easy at all. We were trading baskets. But I wouldn't

838
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: even say it was me that like helped win the game.

839
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: It was Brooke. Like Brooke hits some tough shots, like

840
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: Brook is not scared, Like she hits the shots that

841
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: I'd be like, let me pass it.

842
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 2: She's gonna shot, like no second thought about its defensive place.

843
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: Defensive stopper right there, He's a menace.

844
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: That's what I think.

845
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: She thrives in like crunch time moments, for sure she does.

846
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: But I think honestly, in the last five minutes in

847
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: the overtime, we all kind of did every little thing,

848
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: like all the little things added up to help us

849
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: win that game, as opposed to like one person scoring

850
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: or anything like that.

851
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think you're clearly right. You guys really

852
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 2: banded together, which was really special to see in those

853
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: last few matches, which was so exciting. Let me tell you,

854
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: I was stressed. I was watching the game and I

855
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: was like, please God, I'm like, can't look stressed out.

856
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: It's so different when you're watching, You're like when you're

857
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 2: in the game, you're not stressed, like you're in control

858
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 2: of what's going on exactly. Yeah, I was like, what

859
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 2: what's going on? What are we doing? But just that

860
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: jump that you made that we've talked so much about.

861
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 2: Tara called you the most improved play that she's ever coached.

862
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: And so when did you feel like obviously the off

863
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: season working on your game changing that mindset, but was

864
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: there a moment throughout the year. It could have been

865
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 2: preseason in a game where you really felt that shift

866
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: in yourself.

867
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: I will say when we played Indiana, so Indiana came

868
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: to us, they were ranked higher than us. Nobody get

869
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: cared about Stanford and we beat them by twenty and

870
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: I performed all in that game, and I was like

871
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: I can do this thing. Like that's when the confidence

872
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, you can do it.

873
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 2: We're right there, We're we're there.

874
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: But I will say like it was once we got

875
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: into like conference play and I was like consistent with

876
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: these kind of numbers, when I was like, oh no,

877
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: I got it.

878
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

879
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: And then when we had Tara's night when she got

880
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: the twelve O three when she broke the record and

881
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: we didn't have CAM and like, Tara talked to me

882
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: before the game and she was like I think she

883
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: thought I was nervous. She was like, Kiki, like, it's

884
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: just the game, Like, don't because everybody's there, like everyone

885
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: is expecting nerves Like, hey, it's just the game. Like

886
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: there's all these people here because they expect us to

887
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: win tonight. But it's Oregon State, who's a great team. Yeah,

888
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: and we're we have one of our best players out,

889
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: so it's like, oh gosh, what's gonna happen. She's like, Kiki,

890
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: like how are you.

891
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 2: I'm like, alright, I'm good, Like it's just a game.

892
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm fine, Like we'll be fine. And we beat Oregon State,

893
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: a really great team, and I think that game kind

894
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:18,959
Speaker 1: of solidified it. So like once we had that moment

895
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: again in the tournament when we didn't have Cameron, I

896
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: wasn't like, oh my gosh.

897
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 2: I was just like, okay, just do it.

898
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: Just be the same playerson you were as opposed to

899
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: trying to be a superhero. Just continue doing what got

900
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: you here. And I think that's kind of like how

901
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: my story and journey has been up until now.

902
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, just keep doing what you're doing because

903
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 2: you don't need to change anything. I think that's so

904
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 2: special and something that that you gotta get with times,

905
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 2: like for big games like that, you never want to

906
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: get too highed too low, because it's like you got

907
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 2: to find that right level of nerves where you play

908
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 2: your best, and I think when you are beyond that,

909
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: then the nerves come in and whatever it may be.

910
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: And so I think for you being able to be

911
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 2: in a big game like that and understand like trusting

912
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 2: the work, trusting your confidence and who you are and

913
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: everything done up until that point is so special, and

914
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 2: that's where you're able to go out there and perform

915
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: like you do every single night. And I think that

916
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 2: word use consistency was big for you last year, like proving,

917
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 2: oh this is what I do, this is usual, like

918
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 2: this is me literally. So now moving into a new

919
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: school senior year, how has the process been so far?

920
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: Transferring obviously like new school, that's a big thing, but

921
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 2: bast otherwise, new teammates playing with Now you got two superstars, honestly,

922
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 2: more like you still got TVO, you got real you

923
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 2: got all these special pieces. What has it been like

924
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: working on the chemistry with the new team, new staff,

925
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: new everything. It's been great.

926
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't know what to compare

927
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: it to, but like I couldn't ask for a better

928
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: transition at all. Like the whole time after I committed

929
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: and I was soo at Stanford, like they're always calling me,

930
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: texting me, like checking in on me, like the girls

931
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: as well, not just the coaches. And then the second

932
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: I got here, like I felt like I belonged here.

933
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: I think it helps that, like we grew up playing

934
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: against each other, so you always know of each other,

935
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: but now you get to like really form those bonds.

936
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: So I feel like the chemistry with everybody has been

937
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: great from the beginning. I think the coaches do a

938
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: great job and like making sure we're doing like developments,

939
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 1: like individual stuff like what is Keiki need like instead

940
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: of doing like a whole post player workouts like what

941
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: is Keky need? What is Ray need? Because like we

942
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: play our positions differently even though we're the same position.

943
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: So I really love like that individualized aspect. I think

944
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: communication has been very transparent, like what do you what

945
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: do they expect from me? What am I trying to

946
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: get out of this year? Things like that. But I

947
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: think one thing that has been really great has been

948
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: like our strength and conditioning, Like coach d is very intense.

949
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: We do a lot of running.

950
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: I'll just say i'ven't seen some clips. Can you look strong?

951
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying?

952
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: But I love lifting like we know that, Like the

953
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: weight room is no joke and I love it, Like

954
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: I will never under Mary, you're a track star too,

955
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: but now what track star? Which I didn't sign up for.

956
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: So that's something that I'm getting used to. But in

957
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: the long run, I know I'll be I'll be grateful

958
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: for this, Like, once the summer set is over, I'll

959
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: be like I did that, Like I come to those.

960
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: Eight weeks, so I'm a survivor.

961
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: Exactly running around the court.

962
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 2: I have week track star kicks. But talking about you know,

963
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: making connection with your new teammates coming in, You're a

964
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: VET now, which is kind of crazy because I still

965
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 2: think of you as like my little but now you're

966
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: a VET, and so what is that like? Coming in?

967
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 2: It's already kind of difficult to set that for yourself,

968
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 2: you know, I mean leader for the young kids. And

969
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: then also now you're at a new school. So what

970
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: has that transition been like for you? Being a leader

971
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: on this team that you're new to, still bringing that

972
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 2: veteran knowledge that you have. So what has that been

973
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 2: like for you?

974
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been I wouldn't say difficult, but it's been

975
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: kind of challenging to navigate because I'm like, I am

976
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: a newcomer, so like I do want to look to,

977
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: like Raya Clarice, the people that have been there, like

978
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: what is the character of the program, Like what do

979
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: you guys do here? But then also being able to

980
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: we have seven freshmen, so like that's a lot of people.

981
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: Seven like they outnumber us, like yeah, why seven freshmen?

982
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like, how do I also be

983
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: a role model to them and like kind of help

984
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: them along the way, be the kind of like upperclassmen

985
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: that I had in the upper classim that I would want.

986
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like this, like also I need

987
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: to be a leader as well. So it's like navigating

988
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: this thing but also not trying to force anything, Like

989
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to come in here and be like

990
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: this is my team, this is me. No, like something

991
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: has been established and I'm just adding to it. So

992
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: it's kind of finding like it's like a puzzle, like

993
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: trying to find where I fit, where I can like

994
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: lead the way I lead, but without like you know,

995
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: doing too much, like making it be natural. So I

996
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: think that's something that I've navigated all summer, something I'm

997
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: still going to continue to work on. But yeah, it's

998
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: been something.

999
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just something. I'm sure. It's interesting juggling all

1000
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 2: these different roles of being a newcomer but also you know,

1001
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 2: coming in and you have who you are, like you're

1002
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 2: a big person to bring into the team, but also

1003
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: fitting in with what's already there. So I'm excited to

1004
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 2: see how it all play out. But I think it's

1005
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 2: great knowing some of the personalities on your team, like

1006
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 2: egos is like you guys gonna put all your egos aside.

1007
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 2: Not even that you guys have big ones, but like

1008
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 2: you guys have bigger team goals than anything individual, And

1009
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 2: so I think as long as y'all keep the main

1010
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 2: thing the main thing, Like you guys are gonna go

1011
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: to the final four, you're gonna eat to Nutters for

1012
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 2: a Big Ten CHAMPI should like the world. It's gonna

1013
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 2: be amazing to see talking about going from the Pac

1014
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: Dove to the Big ten tiers for the pack tal

1015
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 2: of Dissolvings too. I can't believe that actually it's not real. Yeah,

1016
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 2: but who are you most excited to match up with

1017
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 2: in the Big ten? Maybe player wise or team wise

1018
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: because you have kind of some familiar faces with Oregon

1019
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 2: and Washington and now you get to be part of

1020
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: the UCLA USC the crosstown rivalry, which will be so fun.

1021
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 2: But like Big ten teams, who you guys don't really

1022
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 2: get to play a lot. Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana. Again,

1023
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: what are you looking forward.

1024
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: To I think I'm really excited to play Ohio State.

1025
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 1: They're a great team to have great players, so I'm

1026
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: really I think that's one of the biggest teams that

1027
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: I'm excited to play. And then I think you brought

1028
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: up the rivalry, which that's something since I've been on

1029
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: this campus, Like we can't wear blue, Like yeah, I

1030
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: had cannot wear it to campus, Like they take it

1031
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: very very seriously and like nothing like the Stanford cow

1032
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 1: Like I feel like Stanford cal robbery. We're like laughing

1033
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: and hugging each other after the game. That's not like that,

1034
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: Like it's serious. So I'm like, oh my gosh. And like,

1035
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: of course Lauren Bett's on UCLA. Love her, so I'm

1036
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: like super excited to play against them, and like, you know,

1037
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: this will be loved there after the game. I'm sorry,

1038
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be all petty and me and I

1039
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: can't do that with her, but was ready. It's something

1040
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: like new, like I've never had a rivalry that's like

1041
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: this real, like no, like we hate UCLA, like we

1042
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: don't like them at all. So it'll be something new

1043
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: and something interesting. But I'm excited for it.

1044
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need to make that game, I'm gonna need

1045
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: to come and I'll wear like these half and half

1046
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 2: it for you and Betty. But no, I think the

1047
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 2: matchups are going to be really cool to see, like

1048
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: all these stars that we never got to see those

1049
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 2: cross country matchups. It's gonna be really exciting. And I

1050
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 2: feel like the Big Ten has been on the rise

1051
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 2: in the past few years with more teams making it

1052
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 2: in the tournament doing all these different things. So I'm

1053
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: really excited to see that. But before we get into

1054
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 2: our rapid fires, I just want to give you your

1055
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 2: flowers real quick on how amazing you are and how

1056
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 2: proud of you I am, because I think it takes

1057
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: a lot. Obviously, you're extremely bright, being able to graduate

1058
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 2: early from Stanford go to USC which is another amazing

1059
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 2: academic school. But just who you are beyond the basketball court, Kiki,

1060
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 2: You're amazing everybody. I know, everybody's looking up to you.

1061
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 2: They're going to soak up every word of knowledge that

1062
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: you give. I'm so immensely proud of you, and I'm

1063
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 2: excited to see a dunk in a game, pull up

1064
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: three in a game, all American, all these different things.

1065
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 2: Final four, I want a Natty from you, they'll tell

1066
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 2: any of our other Stanford like, whoa, but I am.

1067
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see all these things from you. So

1068
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: I'm so excited.

1069
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, hey, James.

1070
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: Last section here, we're getting into our vibe check, which

1071
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 2: is gonna be rapid fire answers. I do have a

1072
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 2: lot of faith in you right now. Like I've had

1073
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 2: other guys, Like when Betty was.

1074
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: On, I was like, I'm so indecisive.

1075
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:03,520
