1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: I was very intimidated. At first. I was like, oh

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: my gosh, does she even like me? Like, oh my god,

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: that's what I remember.

4
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: I remember you being like, Hailey doesn't like me.

5
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: First off, you're the Hailey Jones, so I was very

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: intimate Haley, No, Hailey. I was intimidated. When I first

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: walked in the locker, I was like, Oh my gosh,

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: that's my teammate. I was like, oh my gosh, I'm

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna play with her. I really didn't think you liked

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: me At first. I was like, oh my god, I'm

11
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: so annoying, Like shut up, Lauren, like stop talking. I

12
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: was so annoying. But then, like I think, over time,

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: once I came to you, like for advice and stuff

14
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: about like just being a freshman and like how to

15
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: get through it because it was like obviously freshman years

16
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: tough in general, it's hard, So I, like, you know,

17
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: kept coming to you for advice, and I think I

18
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: just I was like, this girl's amazing. Hailey's like literally

19
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: the most amazing person I've ever played with.

Speaker 1: Thanks for having me.

42
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: Hey yeah, hey, okay, So a little bit on your

43
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: non conference schedule. You guys had a tough schedule. It

44
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: was not. It was not a cakewalk. So what was

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: kind of that big test that you guys have had

46
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: that you feel has prepared you for the rest of

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve season.

48
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: Well, first off, we started with Princeton first.

49
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're good.

50
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: Princeton is so underrated. They're so good, They're so talented.

51
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: All their guards are so skilled and like their posts

52
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: are pretty much like they can play from anywhere, so

53
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: it's it was very difficult to guard them. But that

54
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: was a really tough first game to begin with. And

55
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: then we had Yukon, which obviously, like everyone knows their Yukon,

56
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: so that was just really tough, and they had like

57
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: all their fans, Like the entire gym was just all

58
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: Yukon fans. And then we had like a little cla

59
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: section of the middle blue and gold. It was so sad.

60
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: It was so sad. I'm so glad we won, but

61
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, like this is embarrassing,

62
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: like like there's no one here. But yeah, so that

63
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: was like that was a big game for US. Ohio

64
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: State was tough because obviously, like it was pretty much

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: sold out. You know, we didn't play our best that game,

66
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: so we really had to step it up in the

67
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: third fourth quarter and get our acts together and think, God,

68
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: we won. But yeah, like, I think we had a

69
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: really good non conference schedule, and I think that's ultimately

70
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: prepared us for what's coming up next, because obviously, you know,

71
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: like going in to Pac twelve, every single game is

72
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: just so tough, like there's not an easy game whatsoever.

73
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm really happy with our non commerce schedule

74
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: and I think that will do really well because of it.

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I know USC was a big game for

76
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: you guys that you probably had circled on the calendar

77
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: for a minute. What's kind of that next big game

78
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: that we're pushing towards. Is it a February fourth? Is it?

79
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: Is it something else on your mind?

80
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously that game is going to be like

81
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: a really you know, that's going to be an intense game.

82
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: But other than that one, other than that game, I

83
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: would say that week playing Colorado, Utah, that's going to

84
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: be a pretty tough matchup. Listen, First off, we have

85
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: the elevation, like I'm not going to be able to breathe,

86
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, like my chest is going to

87
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: be burning up, like you already know like it's tough

88
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: playing over there. But I mean those are two like

89
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: really good teams. I mean, you know, Sharad just went

90
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: off for what like thirty four against Utah, like she's tough,

91
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: and then you got Peelee on Utah, Like it's going

92
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: to be too back to back, like very tough game.

93
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: So I think that whole week will be really difficult,

94
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: but I'm excited. So that's what we prepare for.

95
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that Mountain Series is always tough because that's also

96
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: the place you got to hop on another plane to

97
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: get from place to Lakes Bro last year, that double tea.

98
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: My well, and then the situation our flight situation back

99
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: was so bad and someone aport the entire time.

100
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: We read that airport for like seven hours. It was horrible.

101
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Slept on the ground. I slept on the ground.

102
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: Didn't they do as Taco Bell and nobody ate us.

103
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: Yes, we had a whole buffet of Taco Bell on

104
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: the table that no one wanted to eat. So we

105
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: all and we got to the hotel at six am,

106
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: and we saw shoot around that day.

107
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: We woke up and went to practice at noon. I

108
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: was like, first of all, so why are you giving

109
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 2: me a cold? Bean burrito at seven am. I don't

110
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: want this.

111
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: Was so bad. That was such a bad experience. That's

112
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: like the worst travel situation I've ever been in.

113
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was awful. But anyways, anyways, speaking of conference play,

114
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to hit you with an unpopular opinion to

115
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: see if you agree here kind of a hot take.

116
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: So this is the last year of the pack, which

117
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: is crazy to think about it crazy, but as every

118
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: PAC twelve team disperses into all their different conferences, I

119
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: feel like the PAC twelve is so strong. The top

120
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: teens in the pack are going to go be the

121
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: top teams at these other conferences.

122
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: So like, oh, like.

123
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: You and USC in the Big ten, done, Colorado and

124
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: Utah in the Big twelve, Stanford and the ACC. Like

125
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: they're just going to be taking over these top spots.

126
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: And then these other teams aren't gonna know what to

127
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: do because, for one, they don't even watch PAC twelve

128
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: network because it's regional, so like they're not going to

129
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: know what to expect, just like what happens in the

130
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: tournament every year.

131
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: First off, the PAC twelve is so underrated. Everyone knows

132
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: that the PAC twelve is the best. Everybody knows. I mean,

133
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: the real ones know, But I just don't think that

134
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 1: these people are ready. Like I one hundred percent agree.

135
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: I think that all the conferences that we join, we're

136
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: just gonna take over, like no doubt, no doubt. Yeah,

137
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean I'm excited. It's you know, it's going to

138
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: be interesting. But like you know, especially with all the

139
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: travel and the school, I don't know how that's gonna work.

140
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: That's a whole nother situation at the time. I know

141
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: that's for another time. I'm not gonna worry about that

142
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: right now. But I'm really excited. I think that it'll

143
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: be really interesting just to like get a different taste

144
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: of like what that conference is. Like, I feel like

145
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve, like the type of basketball we play

146
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: is just so different from everybody else's. Like I'm really

147
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: interested to see like we got a little taste of

148
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: Ohio State. But like, yeah, it'll be really fun. I'm excited.

149
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think just on the PAC twelve disbanding,

150
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: do you feel like this conference play this conference tournament

151
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: at the end of the season means that much more

152
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: that it's going to be the last PAC twelve titles?

153
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: Oh? For sure. Ever, for sure, it's a huge deal.

154
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: It's a huge deal. Like we've been talking about that. Obviously,

155
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: it's like the Pac twelve tournament. Everybody wants to win,

156
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: but it's the last one, like it will go down

157
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: in all of PAC twelve history. Listen, Like, we have

158
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: to win. We have to win, so it means a lot.

159
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: It means a lot. But yeah, that's a topic that

160
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: we've been talking about a lot on our team.

161
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you talked a little bit about Princeton kind

162
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: of being a sleeper team. Do you think, you know,

163
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: is there a team outside of the Pac twelve that

164
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: has really impressed you in this non conference season so far?

165
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: You know, that's such a tough question because I literally

166
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: was just like the only I really don't like watch

167
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: anybody else.

168
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: You just watched film.

169
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 1: You know what. I just watched film.

170
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: You're just watching the film.

171
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 1: Listen, that's what I'm preparing for. Like I'm saying present,

172
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying present. I'm worried about the teams I have

173
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: to play coming out, But about this that was really impressive, Lauren, Listen,

174
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: because it's bad, Like it's really bad. Because I felt

175
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: like that question was coming up and I was like

176
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: I really could not tell.

177
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: You, you know what, that's okay, that's okay, we can

178
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: do a different question, you know, Okay, it's one of

179
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: the teams that the teams that you've played, the film

180
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: that you've watched. Is there a specific player that you

181
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: feel like is very underrated, Like they don't get the

182
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: hype that they deserve. Somebody that really impressed you?

183
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: Well, I mean Peely just start, because she had that

184
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: big South Carolina game, which she should have been getting

185
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: that like we already knew, we already knew how good

186
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: Peely was. But it's like the world just like finally

187
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: figured it out. But everyone in the fact told knows

188
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: how good Peee is. And she's an amazing person like

189
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: off the court as well. So I'm just really happy

190
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: to see I know, she's so sweet. So I'm like

191
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: really happy that she's getting the recognition she deserves because

192
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, like where has it been? Like everyone knew

193
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: she could have gone off for thirty like you know,

194
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: like everything that's just the player she is. She's just

195
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: so amazing, So big fan, big fan of Peelee. She's great.

196
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: Shut out Peelee, We're fair. Do you feel like it

197
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: could be in the Pac twelve, or it could be

198
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: in other conferences. We've already seen a lot of upsets

199
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: happen this year, LSU losing their first game this season.

200
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: The list just really goes on with unraated team beating

201
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: top teams, just different sleeper teams coming around. Do you

202
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: feel like there may be some top teams that are

203
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: going to struggle in their conferences because we kind of

204
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 2: see it every year where teams drop some games this

205
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: and that. So do you feel like there's gonna be

206
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 2: some top teams that end up struggling?

207
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: Hayley, this is so controversial, Lauren, Lauren, we got to

208
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: talk about it here.

209
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: I can start, I can start. Okay, this is like shade.

210
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: This is just it happened to us last year. Like

211
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: you go into some games and you're not completely prepared

212
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: because you're like, oh, it's gonna be a mark, Oh

213
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: we beat them last time. I think last year when

214
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: we went to Utah, we didn't approach it the same

215
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: way we did the first time.

216
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: Well yeah, had gone in with yeah, but like Washington, Washington,

217
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: that was crazy. I forgot, excuse I forgot that we

218
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: lost to them.

219
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: Yes, they got us. So I feel like every every year,

220
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: no matter how good the team is, there's gonna be

221
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: some struggles in the season, and it's all about how

222
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: you bounce back. So, like the a CC, you think

223
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: about the top dogs there, right, But then you know,

224
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 2: you think about some of the teams that may not

225
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 2: always get the recognition. Team like Florida State. They could

226
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 2: come up and surprise somebody like a Virginia Tech, like

227
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: your Day the SEC like oh, miss they got us,

228
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: they could get somebody. You never know, Like you never know.

229
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: I feel like there's always I think there's always teams.

230
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: Sorry, that was really bad bringing up trauma trauma. I

231
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: mean I'm trying to think of, like what other teams

232
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: in different conferences that could step up. I mean Florida State,

233
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: we could talk about them. I mean they're tough. Miss Latsons,

234
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: she's been on here before, right, She's no she has

235
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Oh we need yeah, we need to get her. We

236
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: need to get her. She is insane. If you're listening,

237
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: please come on this show. She is insane. She's so good,

238
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: Like she just finishes in the most like no shade,

239
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: but she finishes in some awkward positions and like, there's

240
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: no way that this is going in and She'm not

241
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna lie. She got one on me. She hit me

242
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: in the she hit me in the chin, and I'm like,

243
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: my I got a fat lip after the game. She had.

244
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: I had a fat lip after the game because I

245
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: was like, dang, Like I like she is tough, she's

246
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: really and she could finish over everybody. Like she's not scared.

247
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: She's like the most fearless guard I've ever played against.

248
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: Like I'll be standing there and I'm like, there's no

249
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: way she's gonna go up. She goes up and I'm

250
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: standing there six seven, like she does not care, Like, okay,

251
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: s pop off. So yes, Florida State, Florida State. I

252
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: think they're going to surprise some people.

253
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: They're so too. I think so too. Last year, coming

254
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 2: off the hype of the tournament that we had just

255
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: the viewership and the final four, but not only Foual four,

256
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: but the regionals, the viewership was up, just all of

257
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: the nil deals that have come from it, the viewership,

258
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: the just kind of I feel like there's an added

259
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: level of expectations and maybe pressure about how the top

260
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: teams perform or really just how you perform on that

261
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: national stage. So do you feel like after the buzz

262
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: of last year's tournament, there's that added little thing to

263
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: it where it's like, Okay, there's more TV games, there's

264
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: more high pressure scenarios. How are you kind of dealing

265
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 2: with that?

266
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think like for my team specifically, I mean,

267
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: Coach Corey does a really good job of like just

268
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: keeping us very like grounded, and like one of the

269
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: things she talks about most is like, we don't care

270
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: about the noise, Like we do not care, Like they

271
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: keep the expectations expectations, and they keep us very humbled.

272
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: And so I feel like sometimes like even if I

273
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: wanted to listen to what everybody else is saying and

274
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: feel that pressure, like it's very hard to because our

275
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: coaches do not care whatsoever. Coach Corey does not care,

276
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: Like she will block out all of that noise, none

277
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: of them like they do. We never talk about it,

278
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: Like the first things she talked about we got ring

279
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: number two, we talked about it for a day, and

280
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: she said, we're never talking about it after, like we

281
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: don't care, like we're going to stick to what we do,

282
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: like it's all about us. And so I think that's

283
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: like one of the things I like the most is

284
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: because it takes so much pressure off of us, Like

285
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: we just go into each game like all right, let's

286
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: just do what we have to do. But there's nothing like,

287
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, we don't have to impress anybody, Like we're

288
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: just trying to do the best that we possibly can

289
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: for ourselves. So yeah, to answer that question, I think

290
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: our coaches do a really good job of just keeping

291
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: us grounded.

292
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: And I mean I think that's great. You never get

293
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: too high too low, and you approach every game intact

294
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: same exactly, and so switching gears for a second a

295
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: little bit not enough. We talked a little bit about

296
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: Peeley gave her her flowers, and a little bit about Shimad,

297
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: but just kind of diving more into that. I feel

298
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: like not a lot of people recognize how talented some

299
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: of the teams are in the PAC twelve, specifically some

300
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: of the top players. So I know you watch the

301
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: film of your opponents. So we've seen Colado, you've seen Utah.

302
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: So I want you to give me a quick breakdown

303
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 2: of how good some of these players are, and you

304
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 2: don't have to. I'll he the top some names here,

305
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: So mss Kuay Miller a bucket, tell me about Quay.

306
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: First off, shooter, shooter, you don't expect it and then boom,

307
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: just like every time. I'm just like, you know, and

308
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: people won't guard her from the three sometimes and I'm like,

309
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Same as Frida, same as Freda.

310
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: They'll leave her and Freda open. I'm like, what are

311
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: you doing? Like like they're just like unexpected shooters, Like

312
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: they're just unbelievably talented, and they spread out the floor

313
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: so well, like and it's just very hard to guard

314
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: because like she can play from wherever on the floor,

315
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter. She'll post you up. She's strong.

316
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: She's strong, but she can shoot too. So it's just

317
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: like dang, like what are you supposed to do? So yeah,

318
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: great player, great player?

319
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: Okay, shout out Quay. Our next person is a little

320
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: bit more about Peelee. I think one thing that makes

321
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: her so special is she's not the biggest, right but

322
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: somehow similar to to Miss Latson, she knows how to

323
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: finish around like the tallest players. Whether it's it's like

324
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: she it's like she practiced.

325
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: She she I swear to God, she must just work

326
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: like that's all she does. In her workouts. I sw

327
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, how do you well, her footwork is just

328
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: like chef's kiss, Like I yes, Like I was watching

329
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: I was there for the beginning of the South Carolina

330
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: game and I'm watching some of like the and I'm

331
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: just looking at her feet. I'm like, how does she

332
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: manage to like just move around like everybody? And she

333
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: gets them like so deep underneath. I swear she just

334
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: like shoves them and there's nothing you can do, like

335
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: when she's when she's got you, like in the war zone,

336
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: like there's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can do.

337
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: She's scoring on you. So like, yeah, she's tough and

338
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: she's strong, and she can shoot people again one of

339
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: those like little sharp shooters that you don't even think about.

340
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: She'll get at the top of the key and it's

341
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: over like she's making it.

342
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: So it's just yeah, she's she's already down there, and

343
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, okay mas, she's gonna bring

344
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: up the floor and getting all all screen.

345
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, whoa, you never know what she's gonna do.

346
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very hard to guard. And then last player

347
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: we'll talk about is Jaylen Sharrod I feel like she's

348
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: really come into her own these last few seasons, which

349
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: is so impressive to watch because obviously we know her speed,

350
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: she can get to the rim, but I think her

351
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: adding that like mid range game and extending it out

352
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: to three. You can't go under anymore.

353
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: That's what it used to be.

354
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: Oh, go under and then get to a right hand.

355
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: Now she's like, okay, boom, I need the right left

356
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: ope behind the screen, pull up. There's so many different

357
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: ways she can beat you now.

358
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm just so happy I'm not a guard. Listen, if

359
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: I had to pick that girl up full court, oh

360
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: my gosh, it'd be over. Like I couldn't do it.

361
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: She's just like the fastest person I've ever seen ever

362
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: on the court, So props to her. But she's killing it. Like,

363
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: super happy for her. She's had a great game against Utah.

364
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, like you said, like she can shoot really

365
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: well now, so it's like, I mean, she's been able

366
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: to shoot, but like she's just so efficient now it's

367
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: like you have to play over the top and she's

368
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: just Yeah, she's great. Super happy for her.

369
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, super fun scout to deal with all three.

370
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: Of them, Yeah, super fun.

371
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: Back to you back to you, we'll take it back

372
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: to your roots a little bit. So you were born

373
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: in Spain where your dad was playing professionally. Shout out

374
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: to my guy, love him. And do you remember going

375
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 2: to any of your dad's games when you were younger?

376
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: And yes, the overseas atmosphere is different from here, So

377
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 2: what was that like?

378
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was definitely different. I think, like

379
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: European fans are so like the game in Europe is

380
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: so much different than here. Like the fans are crazier.

381
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: Like I remember there's one game that like went viral

382
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: on YouTube of my dad, like during jump ball he

383
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: got it and all the fans throw like confetti on

384
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: the court, and I guess it's like a thing in Europe,

385
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: like you throw confetti on the court, like but like

386
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: imagine having to clean all of that up, Like they

387
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: don't start the game for like half an hour later

388
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: because they do so much, like the entire court was

389
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: like covered. But it's just like it's crazy, like it's

390
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: a whole different environment. It's way more fun in my

391
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: opinion going to those type of games just because of

392
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: like you know, the fans and everything. But yeah, great

393
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: memories obviously, like I looked up to my dad growing up.

394
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: He's an amazing basketball player and he's taught me like

395
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: pretty much everything I know about being a post. So yeah,

396
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: it was just really fun and get great memories.

397
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: It is crazy player over there. They allow like the

398
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: noisemakers and everything. You could be doing blowhorns in the

399
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 2: middle of the game. It's it's exactly, it's really crazy.

400
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: It's really intense. It's a lot a lot.

401
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you moved to Colorado on the third grade.

402
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: Did your dad put the ball in your hands or

403
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 2: how did your relationship with basketball start.

404
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: I didn't want to become a basketball player at the

405
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: very beginning. I was like, let me just like, you know,

406
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: separate myself from my dad for like a hot minute.

407
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: And so I started playing soccer and I was terrible.

408
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: First off, I was a little too tall to play soccer.

409
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: I was like, this is not my thing. Yeah, I

410
00:18:59,560 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: don't think.

411
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: That for you.

412
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: No, And my family like still makes fun of me

413
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: for it because they're like, you know, like you only

414
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: had one move, like you were awful, Like they keep it.

415
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: They still make fun of me to this day. And

416
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: so then I went to like competitive swimming and I

417
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: was just actually really good at it, like I really

418
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: loved it. And then at some point I was like

419
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: I need to choose like what I'm gonna do because

420
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: you can't do competitive swimming and competitive basketball, like it's

421
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: just way too hectic, and I was like it's time consuming,

422
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: like I can't do it. So yeah, then I just

423
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: wanted to start playing basketball and I was awful, but

424
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: it became one day where I was just like okay,

425
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: like I actually want to be like decent, Like I

426
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: don't like being bad. This isn't fun anymore. Like you know,

427
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: it's fun, it's fun up to a point. Up to

428
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: a point you're like, okay, I'm like done getting scored

429
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: on every time, like I'm exhausted. And just so you know,

430
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: I just started like working out with my dad and

431
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: then I just like came to love and I made

432
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: all my friends through basketball, Like all my closest friends

433
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: to this day are through basketball. So I think for me,

434
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: it was just about like building relationships, and I think

435
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: that's how I came to love basketball.

436
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 2: Love that.

437
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

438
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: I mean, at some point, you don't want to be

439
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 2: bad anymore.

440
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's not it's not fun.

441
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna do it like I may as well

442
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: do it so.

443
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly do it? Well, that makes sense. Yeah.

444
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so growing up we weren't the best, but then

445
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: we got to be the best clearly.

446
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: So, So.

447
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: Who did you watch growing up that you wanted to

448
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 2: mold your game after or kind of gain inspiration from.

449
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, I didn't watch like college basketball until like

450
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: the longest time. But I really liked Asia growing up,

451
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: like watching her at South Carolina. Loved watching her. I

452
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: was like, great post, Branda Stewart obviously great posts. Yeah,

453
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. And I also like loved watching Aliyah

454
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: growing up in high school. Like I remember my first

455
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: time playing three on three for USA. My first ever

456
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: three on three game was against Hailey van Lyth, Paige, Aliyah,

457
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: and Samantha.

458
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: Oh that was quite a team.

00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: Like I know, I had no idea who she was

462
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: at first, I was like, who is this girl? I'm

Speaker 2: No, she's amazing. I feel like it's so cool for

475
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: me because I feel like I've watched your growth because

476
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: we played each other in high school. If you remember

477
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: at the tournament.

478
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: Champions do you want to tell me? You want to

479
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: tell them where you where you were before the game?

480
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: You didn't even started in.

481
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: The bathroom, Dan, you were in the er. Yeah, you

482
00:21:54,400 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: came from you are. I remember I got food and

483
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: so yeah, I was playing Lauren and every basically every

484
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 2: time out every few minutes, I would say about the game,

485
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 2: go sit with the garbage back on the end of

486
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: the bench, and then go back in there and try

487
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: to shoot it against the six seven girl. And I

488
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: remember being like Kate, Kate pay was at the game,

489
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 2: and I remember going up to her after the game

490
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: being like so we get in her or like, are

491
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: you recruiting her too? Because that's a tall woman. I

492
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 2: don't know how you want me to deal with this,

493
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: but I just know you were so good in high school.

494
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: But I feel like the way that you progressed from

495
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: your freshman year to your senior year was insane, Lauren.

496
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 2: The growth was wild. But so what was your high

497
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: school experience? Like kind of going from being molded by

498
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: your dad and not wanting to play and then you

499
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: end up being the number one recruit and then you

500
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: go through COVID. It's a lot going on, So what

501
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 2: what was your high school Like?

502
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it really just progressed in like a crazy way.

503
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: Like when I first realized that I had like kind

504
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: of made it was like making USA for the first

505
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: time the sixteens. I was like, oh my gosh. And

506
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: then we found out in Chile that I was ranked first,

507
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: and so we're all at dinner. We get a notification

508
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: and like we're all talking, they're all mumbling, and I'm like,

509
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: what happened? What happened? Like, oh, like they put the

510
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: rankings out. I'm like, oh, that's cool. They're like ranked first.

511
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: It's like, what's like me.

512
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: And then I must have been kind of awkward.

513
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: You're like, I was like cool, I was like no, no,

514
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: I like didn't know what to say. But I texted

515
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: my parents after and I was like, I think I'm

516
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: like ranked first, Like I don't know what that means,

517
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: but I guess like I'm first. I was like, that's

518
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 1: kind of cool, but yeah, and then like after that,

519
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: I think it just I think I slowly just got

520
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: better and better and yeah, I don't know. I think

521
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: it was just like lots of hours obviously, like it

522
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: wasn't easy, but it just came over time. And I

523
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: think I my confidence is like the biggest thing. Like

524
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't really confident when I first started playing basketball,

525
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: and I think like as all these things started coming,

526
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: I just got a lot more confident and just ultimately

527
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: like showed in my game. Like I think the better

528
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: I've gotten, the more confident I've been in myself. So

529
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: I think that's been my biggest thing throughout high school

530
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: and then ended up going to Stanford.

531
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: So we'll get into you know, your recruiting process. I

532
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 2: feel like it was really different because you were being

533
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: recruited during COVID, So how did that impact your recruiting process.

534
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: Did you take visits? Did you was everything kind of

535
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: virtual or how did that work?

536
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: Girl? No, I didn't take a single or actually, okay,

537
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: secretly I took a visit to Stanford, but when every

538
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: you know, everything was shut down, there was not like

539
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I like Stanford had like they

540
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: had like all the colored situations where like every like

541
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: part of the campus was like color coded it was.

542
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, so you guys were like in the very

543
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: very private zone. So I couldn't get where you guys were.

544
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: But I just like kind of circled around. It was

545
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: like me and Sienna and my mom and we were

546
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: just like trying to see as much as we could.

547
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: So I made like a little visit over there. I

548
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: made a little visit to UCLA secretly during COVID, but

549
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: I really couldn't see anything. But yeah, like I really

550
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: didn't get it was like really through zoom, like that

551
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: was the only way I really could connect to like

552
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: the coaches and like see anything on campus. Like I

553
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: remember my mom would watch like hours of YouTube videos

554
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: on just Stanford campus because like there was nothing we

555
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: could do, Like there's no way we could visit, so

556
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: it was just like all through my phone, and it

557
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: was tough. It was really tough. It was really hard

558
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: to make connections. I'd say, just through.

559
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 2: Zoom already sucked. So having to go through a recruiting

560
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: process on there must have been hard.

561
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: It was awful.

562
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 2: But so originally what drew you to Stanford? Why did

563
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: you pick Stanford at high school?

564
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: It was my dream school growing up. I always wanted

565
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: to go to Stanford. I had like a giant wall

566
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: at my dad's house of like all the letters that

567
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: they had ever sent me, like every single one, all

568
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: of you know, Tara's letters that she ever sent me,

569
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: like all my happy birthdays. I had them all pinned

570
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: up on a wall, so like they were my favorite school.

571
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: It was in California. I was like, there's, you know,

572
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: nothing better than that, and like obviously academics. I was like,

573
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: who wouldn't want to go to Stanford? It was the best. Yeah,

574
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: So I just and obviously like you know you were there.

575
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: I had like all my Colorado girls, friend was there,

576
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: Jane was there at the time. Like it was great, Ash,

577
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: it was I just knew what I was getting into. Yeah, yeah,

578
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: So I was very that was very excited.

579
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: So then you get to Stanford. You were my freshman.

580
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: So we're gonna what was your first impression of me?

581
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 2: And I'll give you mine of you.

582
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I remember we had a conversation about this,

583
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: like one season is over or something. You're talking about

584
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: this my first impression of first Off, you're the Hailey Jones.

585
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: So I was very intim Haley, No, Hailey. I was intimidated.

586
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: When I first walked in the locker girl. I was like,

587
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. I was like, that's my teammate. I

588
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna play with her.

589
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: Oh this is crazy. But I was very intimidated. At first.

590
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, does she even liked me? Like,

591
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's what I remember.

592
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: I remember you being like, Hailey doesn't like me.

593
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: I really didn't think you liked me. At first. I

594
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I'm so annoying, Like shut up, Lauren,

595
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 1: like stop talking. I was so annoying. But then, like

596
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: I think, over time, like I think once I came

597
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: to you for advice and stuff about like just being

598
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: a freshman, like how to get through it because it

599
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: was like obviously freshman years tough in general, it's hard,

600
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: so I, like, you know, kept coming to you for

601

00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 2: we have a lot of great players at Stanford, but

615
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: I just felt like you had so much talent that

616
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: you had already tapped into, but your upside was like amazing.

617
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: And I didn't even know you personally, so I was like,

618
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 2: you know, my messig friend and friends are like, yeah,

619
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 2: Betty beat me my senior year, like da whatever. And

620
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: then Shanna's talking about it and so all this different stuff.

621
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: So I feel like I just wanted to meet you.

622
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 2: And so when we first met, I was just like,

623
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, she is so nice, because like your

624
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 2: personality is just like you brighten up every room you

625
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 2: come into because you're smiling and you're laughing and you're

626
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: just doing all this fun stuff. And I think as

627
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: a teammate, you like are one of the most hyped

628
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: up teammates I've ever played with, which I love, Like

629
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: after every bucket, you're like you're doing the whole thing.

630
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: So I think I just had so much fun getting

631
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: to know you and honestly really watching you grow into

632
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,040

00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: So shout out you. You're amazing. Okay, now I'm going

635
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: to share. You get to share your favorite story about

636
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: us playing together and then I'll share mine. Or do

637
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: you want me to go first? Do you want to

638
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: go first?

639
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: I have like, well, this is just because I saw

640
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: this on your TikTok the other day, but wait, is

641
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: it the azon that or like I'm trying to think,

642
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: but like anytime you've fallen in practice, or please, anytime

643
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: anytime you've like fallen and you ate, you know, like

644
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: in practice, I was like, oh my gosh, Like she's

645
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: so clumsy, but like in the funniest possible way. Like

646
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: I was like, she's just like one of the greatest

647
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: basketball players of all time, but she can't stay on

648
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: her feet. She just falls over, like please falling down, yes,

649
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: but in like the Arizona game when I remember I

650
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: played a lot that game and I was like so hyped,

651
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: and you fell on the ground again and I was like,

652
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: oh gosh, Haley, And we rewatched it and you texted

653
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: me a screenshot of your face.

654
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 2: Fun they were rolled back into my head. It was horrible.

655
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: I was like, why does she look like that? It

656
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: was so funny. But I like, oh my gosh. When

657
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: that showed up on my for you page when you

658
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: posted it, it just gave me such funny memories. I

659
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, I remember that. It's so funny.

660
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: That one was good. That's a top one I think

661
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: for me. I really think about just I guess this

662
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 2: isn't us playing together, but in the locker room whenever

663
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: I would play music, and I would get you hyped

664
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 2: up to start dancing, or I would play what's up

665
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: it was, It's me and you and we would wrap

666
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: flow Milly be Flow Miss. That's my favorite memories because

667
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: anytime anytime we were on ox at a party, we

668
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: need to get a jump in, I'm like, all right,

669
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: let's do it, and me and you duo and we

670
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: just start wrapping. I think that's a gossic.

671
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: It is a classic Oh my god.

672
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 2: Yes. Moving back into your college experience, we leave Stanford,

673
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: you enter the transfer portal. What led to that decision

674
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: to we don't have to get two into things? But

675
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 2: kind of what led to that a little bit to

676
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: go into the transfer portal.

677
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: It was tough. It was a very hard decision to

678
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: make because I felt like I had gotten so close

679
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: to all of you guys, and like to this day,

680
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: I feel like that team were like so close and

681
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: we're bonded for life. But it was a very tough

682
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: decision to make. I think I just like, at the

683
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: end of the day, I just wanted to be happy.

684
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: And I think my biggest thing is that it was

685
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: I think my freshman year was so tough, but I

686
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure I was in a good

687
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: place for the rest of my four years, and I

688
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: wanted to be supported at the end of the day.

689
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: So I think that that, ultimately, when you know, was

690
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me.

691
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: Leading. Yeah, but I think the transfer, I think there's

692
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 2: a lot of misconceptions about it because there's a lot

693
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 2: of different stories of you know, some people leaving for

694
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: playing time, some people just wanting to talk around schools

695
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: for different Yeah, I know, I know, but you know,

696
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 2: a big misconception is people don't take into account that

697
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: you're people as well, and so there's a lot of

698
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: different decisions. And I think also specific to Stanford, leaving

699
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 2: is really hard, not only because of you know, basketball

700
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 2: or whatnot, but you're giving up the degree, you're giving

701
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 2: up the people that you've been with, you're giving up

702
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: you're giving up a lot. And so I think just

703
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: to your own experience and talking to you about it

704
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: as you went through it, just it's a big decision

705
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 2: to make, and it's a lot, it's a lot more

706
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: into it. It's talking about, you know, being happy, just

707
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: a lot of different things. So I was really proud

708
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: of you for prioritizing you and what you needed, and

709
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 2: I know we talked about that a lot, so just

710
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 2: another thing to say how amazing and strong you are

711
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: to be able to do that.

712
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

713
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: But now we're at UCLA and I heard a story,

714
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: and please correct me, this is misinformation, but Corey jumped

715
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: into the pool after she heard you committed.

716
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: She did.

717
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: She did.

718
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: So we're like all at her house and I'm like

719
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: with my parents and everything, and I'm like sitting with

720
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: the girls and they're like, hey, like, coach Cory said

721
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: that she jumped in the pool if you committed, and

722
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: I was like ha ha, like funny, like okay, like

723
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: I should commit, Like all right, okay. So my parents

724
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: have to leave because they have to get to Sienna's

725
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: tournament the next day. And so we're walking out and

726
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm like no, like I'm committing, like I like I

727
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: want to do this, like I just it felt right.

728
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 1: So we're standing outside and Coach Tony's about to leave too,

729
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, Coach Tony, like could you step

730
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: back in the house please, And it was so awkward.

731
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: He's standing there and he's like okay, like all right, yeah.

732
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: So he walks back into the house and then I'm like,

733
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm like literally like tearing up. I'm like, oh god,

734
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm so nervous, Like this is like the biggest decision ever,

735
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: Like all right, let's do it. So my parents start

736
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: videotaping and I, you know, I walk into the house

737
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: and I like quietly say, I'm like I'm committing, and

738
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: Coach Corey's just.

739
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: Like no way, like are you serious.

740
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: And all the girls like start coming up to me

741
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: and like hugging me, and we're all jumping up and

742
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: down and it was like the cutest thing ever. And

743
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: then immediately like Corey jump in the ball like you

744
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: have to get in the pool. It is so funny,

745
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: and she like, I still have the video. She's like,

746
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm only doing this for Lauren Betts and she jumps

747
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: in her full pink two piece, her little her go

748
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: to with the visor, yes, the go to look classic,

749
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: the go to with the messy blend, like yeah, so

750
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: she jumps in. It was the funniest thing ever. But

751
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: it was such a good memory. It was so cute.

752
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: I love that so much because Corey is amazing, and

753
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: I think she is. I think it's it's cool because

754
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: for me, somebody who didn't go to UCLA. She's always

755
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 2: been great to me, like, oh, do you need anything,

756
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 2: hit me up. Just like who she is as a person,

757
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 2: She's amazing, And so I'm not surprised at all that

758
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: she jumped in the pool, but I know that she

759
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: was up in there. I'm atually looking forward to doing it, Honestly, I.

760
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: Probably wanted to.

761
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 2: She's like stop, stop, and then like belly flapping or

762
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: so I'm crazy.

763
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: My god, Yeah that sums her up. Yes, yes, it's

764
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: so cute. Yeah.

765
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: But so after you commit to UCLA, you have a

766
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 2: pretty amazing summer where you end up trying out making

767
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: the America team, where you got to play with Charisma.

768
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: So what was that like?

769
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: Getting to play against kind of the senior competition rather

770
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 2: than the different youth USA teams you'd been on before.

771
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: It was the biggest jump ever. And like I had

772
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: been warned before I joined, because even you were talking

773
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: about it and you were like, yeah, like those are

774
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: grown women, and I was like, no, like they're not

775
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: that grown. I'm playing against a forty something year old

776
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: woman All Star children, she's got a family to take

777
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: care of. W NBA All Star. I was like, there

778
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: is no way first little nuts she gave me, I

779
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: was like, oh God, like tap me out. I'm I

780
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: was like this is so that was my first like

781
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: oh shoot, like this is really happening. But yeah, it

782
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: was a really great experience. Like Charisma and I got

783
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: super close entire experience, like we're roommates the entire time,

784
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: Like we didn't have to switch up for anything, so

785
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: we got to like spend that entire time together, and

786
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: it was just really nice getting to know her and

787
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: like getting to know her on the court as well,

788
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: Like she's a really great, really great player, super vocal,

789
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: she's a great leader, like really easy to play with.

790
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: So I was just really grateful for that whole experience,

791
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: and I think it really like, you know, I didn't

792
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: want to do it, to be honest, Like I remember

793
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: my parents literally forced me to go to that trial

794
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: because I was like I just need a break. I

795
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I just did a break. But

796
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 1: I'm really grateful that I went though, because I think

797
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: it prepared me for going into this preseason for UCLA.

798
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: And it old to me like gave me back my

799
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: confidence I think going into UCLA. So I'm just, yeah,

800
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: I'm glad that my parents forced me to do it,

801
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: even though at the time like I hated them. I

802
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: was like, why are you making this Like I don't

803
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: want to be here.

804
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's amazing that it added to your confidence,

805
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 2: because drawing to a new school is a lot And

806
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: so talking about that preseason, did you have a lot

807
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 2: of nerves going into your first backs at UCLA new team?

808
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 2: Jim knew everything, So what was that kind of anxiety

809
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: like leading up to me?

810
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: Yes, well, I felt like I was doing my freshman

811
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: year all over again. I was like I have to

812
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: meet all these new people, new coaches, new teammates, like

813
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: new other athletes. I was like, oh my gosh, like

814
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: I have to do this all over again. But everyone

815
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: was so sweet and honestly, like I was nervous for

816
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: maybe like the first five minutes, and then I was

817
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: like making jokes with like Kiki and like Gabs and

818
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: all the girls, and I was like, I'm fine, this

819
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: is where I'm supposed to be. Like everyone's just so sweet.

820
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: And when I tell you, we have the most amazing

821
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: staff ever, the most support. Everyone's just so great. So

822
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: it just truly feels like you're walking into a family,

823
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: Like I just felt so comfortable with everybody from the

824
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: very beginning. So yeah, it was like the easiest transition

825
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: I've ever made.

826
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 2: That makes my heart warm. So heading into this year,

827
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 2: I mean, you dropped twenty points in your first game, Lauren.

828
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 2: First of all, who does that? So what do you

829
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: feel like is the biggest difference for you, you know,

830
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: maybe in terms of your game, in terms of your

831
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: confidence that has led you into this season compared to

832
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: last season.

833
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: I just feel like I get like a lot of

834
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: my confidence from my coaches, Like they truly they believe

835
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: in me so much, Like with everything. I mean, I'm

836
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: out here like guarding on the perimeter, which I was

837
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: not doing last year, and I'm like switching on to

838
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: guards and I'm you know, defending you know, all these

839
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: people and I'm like this is I just feel like

840
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: it's changed my game so much, and you know, just

841
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: my confidence and I feel like I'm able to do

842
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: whatever I want out there like I can, and I

843
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: just have so much support for my teammates and everything,

844
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: and I feel like, you know, I'm just able to

845
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: expand so much. Like now you know, I can you know,

846
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: shoot from the high post. But I feel like you

847
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,479
Speaker 1: know I can, I can dribble the ball a little

848
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: bit more than I was before, and I'm switching on

849
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: to guard, like all this stuff I don't think I

850
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: was doing last year. But I think my coaches have

851
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: been pushing me so much in practice and like just

852
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: making sure that I know, I believe that I can

853
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: do it myself. And I think that it's just expanded

854
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: my game so much, just all the belief they have

855
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: in me.

856
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: I mean, just having that belief and that confidence that

857
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: is being instilled in you, it makes the world exactly.

858
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: It changes the game completely.

859
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 2: And I mean, yeah, knowing you high school to last

860
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 2: year to now, I feel like I can even you

861
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: can see it. You're out there, you're just doing your thing,

862
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 2: You're playing free. There's like it's really it's really fun

863
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 2: to watch. So we can all see it. And so

864
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: heading into the season kind of from a team perspective,

865
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: you know, you have a lot of talent, and you

866
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 2: have a lot of different weapons and anybody can fire

867
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: off on any night, like you talked about, So what's

868
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 2: kind of the mindset been like in the locker room

869
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: having those conversations about expectations you as have for yourself.

870
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: How are you going to hold each other accountable? What

871
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 2: has that kind of been like heading into the season.

872
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think the biggest thing for us

873
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: is just making sure that anybody's ready, like on any night.

874
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, our bench is also so deep, like you

875
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: have you know, Christina Walla, you have Gabs who's coming

876
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: off and you know, averaging almost a double double, like

877
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: it's crazy. So just making sure that everyone's like confident

878
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: and that everyone's ready to go because you never know

879
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: who's going to go off that day. But I also

880
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: thing in practice, like we push each other so much

881
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: and we're so competitive, you know, and so every single

882
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: practice like we're on each other. But we know at

883
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: the end of the day we love each other so

884
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But like, you know, we hold each

885
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: other to the highest standard, and I think it just

886
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: makes us so much better. And we all believe in

887
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: each other so much, so you go into regame knowing

888
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: that like whatever you do, you're going to be supported,

889
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: and like, you know, your teammates have so much belief

890
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: in you. Like, I think it just changes everybody's game

891
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: so much. But yeah, I definitely think that our practices

892
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: just prepare us for the game so much that you know,

893
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: we just go out there and we dominate because that's

894
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: just what we're doing in practice. Like it's like coach

895
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: Corey's likes to say, it's the habits that we pick

896
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: up every single day in practice. Got to love me

897
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: for saying that, But I think it's the habits that

898
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: we work on every day that make us the team

899
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: that we are.

900
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 2: I mean, you mentioned a little bit talking about London,

901
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: Kiki Gabby, but then you also throwing Christine into that

902
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: kind of class that you guys have, which is a

903
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 2: really strong sophomore class. So I feel like that's a

904
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: young core that you guys are just going to continue

905
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 2: to grow. So what is that Like? Obviously you have

906
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 2: the pieces with charisma and you know, the leadership from

907
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: Cameron and all those different pieces. But what excites you

908
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: about that core that you guys have that you guys

909
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 2: are gonna get to play together for another two three years? Really?

910
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, what excites me is that we're just going to

911
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: get better and better. Like, for how good we are,

912
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: we have so much room to improve. And that's like

913
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: the most exciting part is that we're just gonna get

914
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: closer and we're going to build that chemistry over time,

915
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: and I'm just so excited to see everybody excel because

916
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: we're so talented. But like, you know, if I see

917
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: what these girls do in practice every day and what

918
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: they're working on, and people don't know like we are coming,

919
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: Like I love my class so much. Like we're just

920
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: so like we're just so fun off the court as well,

924
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: to brag about like how hard we work, but we

925
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: truly do, like work our butts off, and you know,

926
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: just the I just can't wait to see everyone progress

927
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: because we're so capable of doing it so.

928
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: And I mean, that's already tight en it. And then

929
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,880

Speaker 1: First off, I can't believe it still, like even you saying,

936
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, like I can't believe she's coming.

937
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: Heah.

938
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: It was so crazy, but I'm so excited. Like, i mean,

939
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: obviously you played against or with each other senior year

940
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: of high school wanna State championship, and I was like

941
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: one of the greatest memories I have with her swinging

942
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: that together. And it was a very long season, and

943
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: we obviously went through ups and downs, but like, I

944
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: think it made us so much closer just going through

945
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: all of that together. And I'm just really excited that

946
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: we're going to experience college together. I mean, there's so

947
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: much that goes into college. I mean, like we're growing up,

948
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: you're away from your parents, and I'm just like really

949
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: excited that I'll be able to like help her her

950
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: freshman year because it's tough, like freshman year's you know,

951
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: obviously very hard. So I'm just excited to get to

952
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: like kind of guide her through all of that, especially

953
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: being a senior. Like I'll be already like comfortable by

954
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: then hopefully, so you know, I'll just be able to

00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,480

00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 2: obvious answer which one's got to go shoot around.

989
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, bye around you go like, I mean, it's all right,

Speaker 1: for Like all right, yeah, okay.

00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: Now these are the hard hitters for you, specifically music ready, Sizza,

993
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 2: Brent Fires, and Victoria Lone.

994
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: Oh okay, that's easy. I thought you were going to.

995
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 2: Say this summer because I thought about summer.

996
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: If you would have said summer, it would have been.

997
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: I can't choose, but I'm gonna have to say Victoria,

998
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't really listen to her. I don't listen to

999
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: her music, but I love her news. I love her,

1000
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: proud of her all the Grammy nominations, like she deserves,

1001
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: she's killing it. But yeah, okay.

1002
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 2: Now moving into the NIO space, when did nil get

1003
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 2: real for you? Because it came in at the end

1004
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 2: of your high school, didn't it it did?

1005
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: I think like my senior year I was like first introduced.

1006
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: I had that commercial, which is really cool. So I

1007
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: did that, like that little ad that was really cool.

1008
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: Like that was my first kind of experience in front

1009
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: of like cameras and like you know, script I was like,

1010
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like this is kind of crazy, like

1011
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: all these cameras in my face, Like, oh my gosh.

1012
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: But I think that was like my first kind of

1013
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: like you know, a little intro to it. And then

1014
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: I think once I got to UCLA, obviously, just being

1015
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: in LA it's like absolutely crazy. There's just so many opportunities,

1016
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: and like coach Corey is really good with like just

1017
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: getting our names out there and like networking all of that.

1018
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: Like she's great, Like she's the best at all of that.

1019
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: So I think she's been really helping me through all

1020
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: of that. And yeah, I think, you know, ever since

1021
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: I started obviously like playing well this sophomore year, a

1022
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: lot more opportunities have come obviously, so it's just you know,

1023
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm still like kind of new to all of this,

1024
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: but it's been a really good experience and I feel

1025
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: like I'm doing a really good job of balancing it,

1026
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: Like it hasn't been overwhelming, but obviously just being in

1027
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: La there's just so much to do out here, so

1028
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: it's been really cool just like experiencing all of that.

1029
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a lot to balance with school, socialize,

1030
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 2: and basketball's a lot.

1031
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know how you did it senior year

1032
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: of college because that was that was a lot. Oh

1033
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: my gosh, it was a lot.

1034
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 2: It was a lot. But what do you feel like

1035
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: has been the best advice that you've gotten moving through

1036
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 2: the ni elsepace?

1037
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Just staying where my feet are, Like

1038
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: I just think that's just staying present and like, you know,

1039
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: not comparing because obviously, like that's one thing, Like if

1040
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: you compare your experience with nil to other people, I

1041
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: think that's just like setting you up for failure. So

1042
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: just being like appreciative for what I've received and like

1043
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: my whole experience and journey through all of this has

1044
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: just made me like a lot more just content with

1045
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: where I am, Like I just don't have to compare

1046
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: my experiences to anybody else's and so I think that

1047
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 1: would be the best.

1048
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's because, especially with social media, it can get

1049
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 2: easy to do that.

1050
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 1: Yes, like you can easily compare yes, yes.

1051
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's been your biggest non negotiable when you move

1052
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 2: into working with brands like, oh I'm not into that.

1053
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 2: Oh I don't want to work with this brand? How

1054
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: do you kind of navigate who you want to work with?

1055
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: This is kind of funny, but I would say with

1056
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: like photo shoots, right, you know, my mother, if the

1057
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: photo shoot is if it's a little too you know,

1058
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: a little too own for me, Yeah, it's not happening.

1059
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 1: It's not happening. Oh my gosh, no, because I don't

1060
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: want to No, no, Michelle Betts is not having it.

1061
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: So that that's mine.

1062
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 2: That's okay, that's good. That's a good one. Okay. So

1063
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 2: we're headed into our last section. It's going to be

1064
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: rapid fire, rapid fire as best as you can. Okay,

1065
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: Like I believe in you're gonna do great.

1066
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 1: I've seen this and Frand took forever with hers.

00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 2: Fran sucks, So do better than France. Yes, she's yeah, Okay, Frand,
