1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: If you ask me, the whole team is a starting five.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like the people that come off

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: the bench is a spark for us. That's a whole

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: nother starting five. Coach always saying your numbers called be

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: ready produce, they bring this whole nother spark that flips

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: the game. Like Malaysia Tessa. They bring this yeah woo

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: woo like other teams be tired, so I could say

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: they can start. So I feel like our whole team

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: is a starting five. I don't think we look at

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: it as who starting five, who come off the bench.

11
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: We're connected. Everybody's a starting five. We want to win

12
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: and just to go what thirty five and no?

13
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: It was crazy.

14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't even realize we was doing that,

15
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: going thirty five and no.

16
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: I all kept saying, we just want to win a

17
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: national championship. That's all we kept saying.

18
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: But thirty five and no from tracks with a whole

19
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: new starting five, it's crazy to me, Like, I honestly

20
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 1: still can't believe it.

21
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 3: Welcome back to sometimes. I hope today we've got someone

46
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: picked up on that one. That's a good choice. We

47
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,280

50
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: a blast.

51
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it's not going on right now

52
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,120

53
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: getting ready for the season.

54
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: But oh, we had a blast. We had fun. We

55
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: had a parade.

56
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean we were just funding with each other, I

57
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: mean what we usually do. And we had a little parties.

58
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, little sun So had a good time, had a time.

59
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 3: Love that for you. You guys deserved it, and I

60
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: mean you in the Vepel summer obviously celebrating the Natty

61
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 3: bunch of nil obligations. But talk to me about the

62
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: Kelsey plum Dog class. It looks lit someone with the

63
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: best competition there. What was that experience like getting to

64
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: learn under KP, play against her and just compete against

65
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: all the different top guards in the country.

66
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I honestsarily love that camp. I think it just it

67
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: prepared you, like mentally, Like he tells us how the

68
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: WNBA is. She tells us how like training camp. She

69
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: had a panel and we could ask questions and she

70
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: was just explaining how hard the w BA is. Just

71
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: coming from college right to the WNBA, Like there's really

72
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: no it's a short gap and you don't really have time.

73
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: So you know, most college players be tired going into

74
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: training camp, so it's like a mental thing and how

75
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: we just have to be mentally strong, honestly. And I

76
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: just I met a lot of girls there like Snaia Rivers, Georgy,

77
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: Kate Martin, those type of girls. So it was very

78
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: fun to be around those. And it's just to see

79
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: people like that at the camp.

80
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, and get to know them like off

81
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: the court personalities. Makes like that. I bet that was

82
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: really fun. Do you feel like there was something from

83
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: the camp or like a move you saw somebody have

84
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: that you want to add to your bag. You're like,

85
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: all right, that was tough. I want to steal that

86
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: from me.

87
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: Kelsey Plumb, I like her like one two steps, like

88
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: she slows down. I like her, yes, yeah, that one

89
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: right there. And I like her pace like you go

90
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: from slow to fast and fast to slow. So I

91
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: definitely think I'm going to steal out from her because

92
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: her change of place is really good and it really

93
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: gets guards off their feet.

94
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: It's tough to guard that skip step because you don't

95
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: know you can go out of so many things from that,

96
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: So I think that's it's tough. I'm looking forward to

97
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: seeing that this season. I'm gonna be like, okay, okay,

98
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: where's that at. I want to see it, Okay. So

99
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: thinking about the off season that you guys had the

100
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: summertime last season before Natty, what are the vibes like

101
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: with this team heading into our fall season. You know

102
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: told me last year summer was a little rough, y'all

103
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 3: didn't know how it was gonna go. But what are

104
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: the vibes like this summer? Is it still Don's daycare?

105
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: Are we graduating into something else? What are the vibes?

106
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think we're all excited. Yeah, it steels done daycare.

107
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: I mean, like we you know, we're ourselves. We have

108
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: a sisterhood that's so strong, and it like translates to

109
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: on the court, and then like off the court things

110
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: translate to on the court things. I think it's the same,

111
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: and I think that you know, it's not as.

112
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: Hard as last summer because you know, kind of have

113
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: the same pieces that we have just missing Camilla.

114
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: So we know, like we have those connections on the court.

115
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: So coach knows like who she can trust on the

116
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: court and just adding those freshmen, some dominant freshmans that

117
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: we brought in.

118
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you guys reload every season and

119
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: nice like this season, especially really only losing Camilla. You

120
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: guys are going to have a lot of pieces. Everybody

121
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,559
Speaker 3: just kind of continuing to grow that chemistry from last season,

122
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: which is scary. And you have a big non conference

123
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: schedule coming up. Don really stacked it for you guys. Michigan,

124
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: n SC, State, UCLA, I alwa, stay dud. The list goes

125
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 3: on and on. Is there one of those non conference

126
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: games that you're really you have circle on the schedule,

127
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 3: like you're excited to play that team.

128
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to say I have any team circle.

129
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: I say one game at a time, one day at

130
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: a time. The goal is to take one step at

131
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: a time, win those offseason games, then get to a

132
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: conference play and take it back to the national championship.

133
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: I want to say, there's no team that I have circles.

134
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: So all right, we're looking forward to everybody. Good answer. So,

135
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: with the conference shakeup and all the different realignments this season,

136
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 3: joining the SEC, you have Texas and Oklahoma, do you

137
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: feel like there's going to be an adjustment period that

138
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: those teams are going to need to make moving from

139
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 3: the Big twelve into SEC, which is physical. Y'all are big, talented,

140
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 3: play both sides of the ball. Do you feel like

141
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: there's going to be maybe an adjustment period that they're

142
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: going to need to make playing you guys the Tennessee's

143
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: all misses, all the great teams.

144
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you just said it.

145
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: SEC is very physical. The bigs are very physical. I

146
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: think it's very fast. It's a lot of transition ball

147
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: up and down, So I think that that's probably one

148
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: major thing that they have to adjust to. But other

149
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: than that, I think they're pretty good. But it is

150
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: very physical and very fast, and it's a tough conference.

151
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: It is a tough conference, and I think that they're

152
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: gonna need to do a little adjust thing. But those

153
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: two teams are really competitive, so I'm gonna be yes,

154
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot more in season, big time matchups,

155
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: big games. You guys already had a huge one LSU

156
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: last year was insane Tennessee. Every year, where do you

157
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: feel like it's one of your favorite places, like an

158
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: SEC road game that you're like, all right, this matchup

159
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: is going to be lit. I'm excited LSU.

160
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: You said it, LSU. I think the atmosphere.

161
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: I think it was college game day when we went

162
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: to LSU and oh my gosh, let me tell you,

163
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: their fans are crazy. They're like going, they're like our fans.

164
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: And when we walked in the gym we warmed up.

165
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: All you could hear was LSU fans. I remember them

166
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: like boying coach Staley. It was so crazy. When the

167
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: games start, they did not sit down like you could

168
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 1: hear it from Yes, you can hear from the start

169
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: to finish like they are die hard LSU fans. I

170
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: think that was one of the crazy atmosphere because we

171
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: had to play. I feel like we had to play

172
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: against the team and the fans.

173
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: For sure, and the atmosphere definitely influences the game like

174
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: that is yes, the environment to play out for sure.

175
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: And so just talking about the town of the SEC,

176
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: I feel like there's a lot of good guards. Obviously

177
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: you have a great backcourt with the list goes on

178
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: with your guard play this field. I feel like you

179
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: know you Tina Malisia, Tessa Delicious goes on and on,

180
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: and so I want you to blindly rank some of

181
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: these other backcourt duos that we have in the NCAA. Okay,

182
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: taking your back courts out of it. I'm gonna give

183
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: you five names and you're gonna rank them one through

184
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: five without knowing what's coming next. All right, Yeah, First one,

185

Speaker 3: we got NC State Snai Rivers and Azaiah James, where

186
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: you're ranking on one through five.

187
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: O them my dogs. I'm gonna put them back too.

Speaker 2: Of them one one. All right, Yeah, that's a good due, that's.

Speaker 3: Walker and Sarah Andrews.

193
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna put them at four because they're good,

194
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: but I haven't like really sat down and watched.

195
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: Them, but they are really good.

196
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, I mean nobody's like, yeah, they're all

197
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: it's very close. Yeah, I got you it is. We

198
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 3: got ranking three and five left. Your next matchup is

199
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: Olivia Miles and Hanna Hidalgo Notre Dame.

200
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 2: Three.

201
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: Okay, last one, Texas, this is your five spot. Rory

202
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: Harmon and Madison Booker.

203
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: Ah, they're gont higher. I gotta put them at five.

204
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: But that's a good dude. That is a really good duo. Honestly, Yeah,

205
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: I have respect from them.

206
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 3: I feel like they're all right there, like a lot

207
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: of them are any I feel like there's a lot

208
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: of guard play this year. It is so talking about

209
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 3: the s you see, I want you to give me

210
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: like a mini scouting report without giving you a two

211
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 3: of your secrets. I feel like kind of a hidden jam.

212
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 3: Sarah Puckett from Tennessee. Talk to me about Sarah Puppet.

213
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: Okay, I would just say, run off the three point line.

214
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: She's a shooter, like she's deep ringing shooter, I mean

215
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: quick release. She reminds me of probably like Marina Maybury

216
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: and like just put it and shoot. So you gotta

217
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: know where she's at all at all times. Run off

218
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: the three point line and have hot hands. Got to

219
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: make her shoe shots over Contesta Hends.

220
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 3: That's a good player comparison. I haven't thought of that one,

221
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 3: but Marina Mayby, that's a good one. And then taking

222
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: over to LSU, talk to me about Miss Flage.

223
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: Blue Carlo worker. She works hard. Honestly, she reminds me

224
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: of Khalia Copper. She works hard.

225
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: They want to win, They're gonna do whatever it takes

226
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: to win that. They gotta rebound guard the best player

227
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: on the floor, the fin I mean, you just gotta

228
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: match her energy.

229
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: You gotta make passes hard to her.

230
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: You gotta deny her as much as possible, and you

231
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: gotta make her think, make her think, so speed her up,

232
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: I guess, but definitely match her energy because he's a

233
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: very hard player.

234
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: Well, you with these player comparisons really on the money,

235
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: like those two, I feel like we're perfect. So now

236
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: turning it back to you a little bit in your

237
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: early hoops, taking it back growing up in Westlake, Georgia.

238
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 3: Who put the ball in your hands? How did you

239
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: get into basketball?

240
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people don't know.

241
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: I have a twin brother. His name is Richard, and yes,

242
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people do not know that. And it

243
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: was my grandfather he passed away. He got me into sports.

244
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: But I think just watching my twin brother get into sports.

245
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: He played t ball, so anything he did I wanted

246
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: to do like. I wanted to be just like him.

247
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: So he played t ball, I wanted to play t ball.

248
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: He played basketball. I wanted to play basketball. And I

249
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: remember when he was in a rec center in Atlanta, Georgia.

250
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: They used to call us Killer and Thriller, like a

251
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: little nickname he had, like and I had like the defense,

252
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: like I was just riding people. It was crazy. I

253
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: was doing some crazy stuff. But I always on the

254
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: court with him. Every time he got subbed in. I

255
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: used to be like, sub me in, I want to play.

256
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I want to get on the court with him, or

257
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: when he gets subbed out, I want to get subbed

258
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: out too. So everything he did I definitely wanted to do.

259
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: I love that. Okay. So then moving through high school,

260
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: you played high school hoops with Tanai Latsen, which is

261
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: crazy to have two superstars of your caliber on the

262
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: same high school team. Talk about how it was YouTube

263
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: playing together, and then the friendship that's still lasting today.

264
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: So now, oh my gosh, I miss her so much.

265
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: I honestly, in high school, I was planning on going

266
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: to college with her because I think our backcourt duo

267
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: was nothing like no other. I mean the stuff that

268
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: we did, Like I could just I could be on

269
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: the other end of court and she could be on

270
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: the other end. I could just throw the ball to her,

271
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: like I just know her sweet spots and I know

272
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: like where she likes the ball and tona Ya, she's

273
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: a per bucket, like she's going to go get a bucket.

274
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: And she works hard. She's like flaw j like she

275
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: wants to win. She works hard, She's willing to do

276
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: whatever the coach need her to do. And I like

277
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: players like that, who's like a sponge she wants to learn,

278
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: who wants to get better. But she's like a best day.

279
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: She's like my best friend. I know that she's, you know,

280
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: getting ready for her season coming up, and I know

281
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: she's about to have a really big season ahead of herself.

282
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, both of you are yes.

283
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: And also another Georgia legend growing up with superstar Anthony Edwards.

284
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 3: Talk to me about the relationship with him and what

285
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: you've learned from him little it's bits and pieces that

286
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 3: he's given you the implement into your own game.

287
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: Well, honestly, that's my son. That's my son. I talked

288
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 2: about everything he.

289
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he got to work on his defense just

290
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: a little, so I need to give some stuff on

291
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: that with him.

292
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's my son.

293
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: I think I met Anthony Edwards with a trainer called

294
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: Justin Holland, someone that I'm glad that I met in

295
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: my life because he has changed a lot of how

296
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: I think of basketball, how you know, just maneuver about

297
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: basketball and off the court things. So I met Anthony

298
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: Edwards there. I remember going on on one with Anthony

299
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: in a training session and he was treating me like

300
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: a little boy, and I was like, oh my gosh,

301
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: like I'm a girl. And I was like I think

302
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: I was like ninth grade high school.

303
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 2: I'm like this man trying to joke with me. He's

304
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: pushing me.

305
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: And I tell everyone to this day that I beat him,

306
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: like I would never tell nobody he beat me, like

307
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: I would say he beats I mean I beat him.

308
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, he definitely.

309
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: Treat me like a little boy. Just seeing how he

310
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: works hard in the gym. He gets up every morning

311
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: like he goes to the gym three times a day.

312
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: It made me think like dang, like I could do

313
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: the same thing. Like then saying all the accolades he

314
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: was he had MC done All American for the Brand Classic.

315
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: Then I remember he reclassed up what to Georgia got drafted,

316
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, I want to do the

317
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: stuff that he's doing.

318
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 4: All it takes is just getting in the gym, putting

319
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 4: in the work. I feel like to be able to

320
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: see that firsthand from a young age, just inspiring to

321
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 4: be like, Okay, I take these same steps, and then

322
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 4: you ended up doing that yourself, being an All American

323
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 4: winning Georgia Gettor a Player of the Year.

324
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 3: I think that's such a special relationship to have even now,

325
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 3: just learning from him, but also him being able to

326
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: learn from you if he's your son, obviously that's how

327
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 3: it works.

328
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 2: I love that.

329
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 3: But so talking about having personal connection and inspiration like that,

330
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: were there any other players that you grew up watching

331
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 3: that you tried to maybe model your game after or

332
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: take bits and pieces from and implement them into your

333
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: own style.

334
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 2: Honestly, I like Magic.

335
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: I like Chelsea Gray like she's like the point God,

336
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: yes point, and I honestly try to model my game

337
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: after her. I think when she does this dimes like that,

338
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: I like stuff like that, And I just think she's

339
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: a point guard. You are one on the floor, like

340
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: you can trust her with the ball in your hand,

341
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: and she knows how to get her teammates involved. So

342
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: I love that about her, and I think that you know,

343
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: she's a leader, like that's a big thing from her.

344
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: She's a leader, and I think that's something I try

345
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: to instill from her with being a leader, because it's

346
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: not easy to be a leader.

347
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not easy. And I think those are two

348
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: great point guards to model your game after, like two

349
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: of the best, the best. And so moving throughout AU

350
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: starting to get recruited, when did you feel like recruiting

351
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: started to get real for you? Like you understood, Okay,

352
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: I'm a prim withar player, I'm gonna go to a

353
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: top college. When did that start happening?

354
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: Good question.

355
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: So I played up like I played with Camilla since

356
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: I was in eighth grade. We was called FBC United

357
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: and we had a really good organization, really good. I

358
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: don't know, like all our games were crowded, like you know,

359
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: like like we wanted to play every day because everybody

360
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: wanted to see us play. I think it was number

361
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: one and number two team in AA youth. I didn't

362
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: really think they ran AAU teams, but yeah, I learned that. Yeah,

363
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: and my process started going when ninth grade. When I

364
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: hit high school in ninth grade, a lot of colleges

365
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: I started getting like a high school visits of letters,

366
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: in the mill. I was like, oh my gosh, like,

367
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: these people are really looking at me. And I was

368
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: the youngest on the team, so I didn't really think

369
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: they were looking at me. I thought they were looking

370
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: at like for the middle of the older girls, Madison Heyes,

371
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: trade On Hunt, Olivia Cocker and those type of girls.

372
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: I remember coaches telling me if you can't stick with

373
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: them at.

374
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: A young age, leave them at a young age. You

375
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: could definitely do that in this level.

376
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: So I think that, you know, that was a big inspiration,

377
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: just them looking at me. I didn't really think they

378
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: were going to look at me because I was the

379
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: little kitty bitty girl and play back.

380
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think that's so cool, like being able

381
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: to be alongside those girls who on the path you

382
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: wanted to be on, do what they do, model after them,

383
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 3: and then everything just started to come with it. And

384
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: also like showing that you could play with those types

385
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 3: of players. Being on the top circuit. That's what gets

386
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: your name out there. And so going through the recruiting process,

387
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: what were those other schools that you were interested in

388
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: that almost got you but didn't.

389
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: Well, to say the least, COVID happened.

390
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: Ah, that changes things.

391
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

392
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: My class didn't really take official visits, so I had

393
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: to go off of what I knew FaceTime calls, coaches

394
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: who interact with.

395
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: Me more, who I had a bun with.

396
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: And I think that you know a lot of the

397
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: coaches they applied pressure. They did apply pressure, and you know,

398
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: I know that the recruiting process can be very hard,

399
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: very annoying, because it was very annoying for me. So

400
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I gotta get on

401
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: the FaceTime with this person, this and the third I

402
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: remember get on a FaceTime cause what Staley every day

403
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: and we did a little exercise that we had to

404
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: do every day.

405
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: I forgot the name of it. And I just think I.

406
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: Grew a relationship with her just talk to her every day,

407
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: and it wasn't she didn't just talk about basketball. That's

408
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: what I loved about her, Like she did not talk

409
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: about basketball. It was like life stuff, situation. So I

410
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: was like, she's like she's like a mother fearure, like

411
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: a moment, like if I go to her, I can

412
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: just go to her about anything. So I liked that

413
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: about her, Like she didn't talk about basketball, she wanted

414
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: to get to know me actually, so that was a

415
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: big difference of what she brought to the tables.

416
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: For sure.

417
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: I feel like that makes a lot of sense because

418
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: your college decision, obviously it's focused around basketball, but your

419
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: life at college is so much more than that. Classes,

420
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: figure out what you want to do with the rest

421
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 3: of your life, all those different things, and so for

422
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 3: don to look at you from a young age, when

423
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 3: you're sixteen seventeen and see that potential in you, it

424
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 3: definitely leads into why you ended up choosing South Carolina

425
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 3: in the end, but you end up getting there your

426
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: freshman year. Talk to me about those first few practices.

427
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 3: Was it what you expected? Was it harder? Is there

428
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: a horror story that you have from your first few days?

429
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I remember my first practice. I had to

430
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: guard Heini. Oh definitely Henderson. I mean she's like a

431
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, just zoom zoom zoom zoom. Oh yeah,

432
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. It was so hard to stay in

433
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: front of her. And I think she prepared me. I

434
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: think she helped me a lot. And I tore my

435
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: aco in like in c State, like the second game,

436
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: and yeah, I think that right there.

437
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, it may be mentally strong, physically strong.

438
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: But the practices before that injury happened was very hard,

439
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: just coming in, coming under a lie of Boston, trying

440
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: to guard Zaia Cook, rebuild people that's very experienced and

441
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: us fresh like Sanaia Rivers she was here, Breezy Halls,

442
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: Snaia Fagan, me, just trying to pick up what they have.

443
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: They had like pro habits, these pro haabits that they

444
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: had and they tried to instill in us. It was

445
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: very hard.

446
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: And I say, like the time management was very hard

447
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: because you don't have your mom there no more. If

448
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: you don't have those yeah, the people that you leaned

449
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: on in high school no more. So you kind of

450
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: like got to use the resources that they have here

451
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: and also being your own it was time for you

452
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: to become an adult.

453
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: So I think that they did a great job of

454
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: helping us.

455
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: But those practices, oh gosh, it's like getting shaped.

456
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, those type of practices for sure.

457
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 3: And you mentioned having the injury like that, coming in

458
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: as a freshman, being a top recruit, going through an injury,

459
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: it's really hard to you know, stay engaged with the

460
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 3: team all diferent things. So what do you feel like

461
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: you learn the most from sitting out that season, you know,

462
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: still getting to win a championship, all those things, What

463
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: did you really get to learn that you then implemented

464
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 3: going into your sophomore season from sitting out.

465
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: The biggest thing that I learned was to trust of God.

466
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: I got closer to God during that time. Latitia me

467
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: here a la She's the one that got me closer

468
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: to God. And I think that, you know, I did

469
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: learn to trust Guy. And another big thing.

470
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: Is don't get too high with the highs and don't

471
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: get too low with the lows.

472
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: I heard that so much and Coachman saying that since

473
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: Ziatem is here, she still saying now, and I think

474
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: that's really a big thing for me, like to not

475
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: get so high with the highs and to low the lows.

476
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: And another one is confidence. I mean, coach I always

477
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: say confidence could take you a long way, not with

478
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: just basketball but off the court stuff. So another one

479
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: would be definitely confidence.

480
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: Those are good ones, I think, especially the highs and lows.

481
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 3: Is you want to find where you operate, you know

482
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like sometimes I think a lot of people, well,

483
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 3: you always want to reach that ten out of ten

484
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 3: excitement for a game, but it's like, maybe that's not

485
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 3: where you operate. Maybe you need to calm your nerves

486
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 3: and be around a seven, and that's where you find it.

487
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: So I think that's such an important thing, and you

488
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: learn that as you get older, having times like that,

489
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: sitting out, figuring out where you play your best. And

490
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: so moving into your sophomore season, you have a very

491
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 3: key role on the team coming off the bench, being

492
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 3: a spark, high impact player. So then we get it

493
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: later into the season. What do you feel like was

494
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: your mindset going in having a big role on the

495
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 3: team after sitting out, need to be the impact player.

496
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 3: How did your mindset shift accepting your role.

497
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 2: It was very hard and not gonna lie too.

498
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: It was so hard to be on a court with

499
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: those freshets, that's what they.

500
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 2: Call the fresh life, all them, Oh my gosh.

501
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: It was so hard to like just be a point

502
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: guard and try to call the place for them, because

503
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: they know what's right, they know what's wrong. So every

504
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: time I feel I was wrong because I was younger

505
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: than them, I was like, how can I leave these

506
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: girls when they been into this college experience is more

507
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: than me. I used to say stuff like that. But

508
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: when you have those fresh sheets like that who have

509
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: so much confidence in you, like just telling you you

510
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: got this. I used to be so nervous before a game.

511
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: I remember Leah, she comes to me just prey, she

512
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: always take less prey, and then she just I don't know,

513
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: she gave me this confidence boost, like she's like, go

514
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: be yourself.

515
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: There's another Raven Johnson. Just to be yourself.

516
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: So just having those type of fresh seats who's there

517
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: for you all the time, it helped. But it was

518
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: very hard, Like those games were very hard, Like it

519
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: was my first year on the court, so I was like,

520
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like not even that, like the fans,

521
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: the atmosphere it was crazy, Like I never played in

522
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: no atmosphere like that, So it's my first time doing

523
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: all that stuff.

524
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's hard.

525
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 3: It's an adjustment to make for sure, Like especially when

526
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 3: you are playing point guard, it's such a pivotal role

527
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: on the team. And so I feel like having those

528
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: freshies in that class calming you down and still in

529
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 3: that confidence it means so much. And so I think

530
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: that's amazing that they were able to do that for you.

531
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: And so moving through the season. You guys are playing amazing,

532
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 3: obviously getting to the final four, having that huge matchup,

533
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 3: and you've talked about it in your players tripping articulature

534
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: had in the past, but that game was a turning

535
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: point for you in some bad ways, but also ways

536
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: that made you grow into who you are today. And

537
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 3: so obviously losing a game like that, having to deal

538
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: with all the social media nonsense, everything that goes on,

539
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: talk to me about the aftermath of that game, how

540
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: it influenced your mental and how you're able to snap

541
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 3: out of that and turn into the season that you

542
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: had the next year.

543
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: Oh, trust me, it punched me from the left, from

544
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: the right, from the fat, from the front. I mean,

545
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: I remember being in my room. I didn't want to

546
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: see nobody. Yeah, I'm a kid, like I'm going to

547
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: get on social media. I'm going to see those type

548
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: of stuff. I mean, who wasn't then there's people that

549
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: was sending it to me, so I'm like, oh gosh,

550
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: it was everywhere, Like it was everywhere. So I remember

551
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: being in my room just crying every day. I didn't

552
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: want to see nobody. I didn't want nobody to see me.

553
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: I didn't want to talk to nobody. But I did

554
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: have to get over that step in school, and you know,

555
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: break the barrier of just talking to somebody. I think

556
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: wrong would talk to people. And I think the person

557
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: that really helped me during that time was La. La

558
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: was the one that helped me, and she took me

559
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: to church.

560
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 2: She got me closer to God. And it was stuff

561
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: like that that made me think.

562
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 1: Like I remember in church, Travis Springs said everything happens

563
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: for a reason. So I think that line right there,

564
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: actually it hit me. I was like, maybe this happened

565
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: for a reason. Maybe I needed something like this, Maybe

566
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: I need to wake up. Maybe you know, this happened

567
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: for a reason. So I think that that made me

568
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: get in the gym, It made me work on my weekness,

569
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: It made me work on getting my three point shot better.

570
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: And I just said, I'm gonna use this for fuel

571
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: to the fire.

572
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just get a chip on my shoulder and

573
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: just let this bad negative thing turn into something positive.

574
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: And I think I use that fuel to the fire

575
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: and we won a national championship. So I just say, yeah,

576
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: everything does happen for a reason.

577
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it speaks to like social media

578
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 3: does impact you, especially like you talked about like when

579
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: you're in college, you're so young, it's hard to stay

580
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 3: off of it when social media is so prevalent society.

581
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 3: And so I think a lot of times I don't

582
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 3: know if fans don't understand like that we see these things,

583
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like I'm a person first

584
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: outside of basketball. So like, also, you had never come

585
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: up and say this to my face. So I was like,

586
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: why are you behind the screen thinking that all of

587
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 3: a sudden it's okay? Because if I run past you

588
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 3: and Starbucks or on campus, You're never gonna say this

589
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: to me exactly. And so I think for you, like

590
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 3: it just shows how strong you are and the strength

591
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 3: of vulnerability opening up to somebody like la, talking to coaches,

592
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: talking to your parents, really leading on that inner circle

593
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 3: that you have is so important, and understanding which opinion

594
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: you can let in. Oh my gosh. After we lost

595
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: to y'all, I think that was my junior senior year,

596
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: we lost y'all at home, Like that was one of

597
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 3: those games for me. I had to go sit down

598
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: and just sit in the dark room and just be like, ugh,

599
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: like you need a day you need time. But when

600
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: you snap out of it, you're able to watch the film,

601
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: get it together, all those things, and like you said,

602
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: use that as fuel to then fire that next summer

603
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 3: that you guys had. So moving into that next season,

604
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: dusting yourself off last summer comes, freshies are gone. You're

605
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 3: now like leader of the team, bringing everybody together. And

606
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 3: from what I've heard, you guys did not feel like

607
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 3: you're a championship team that summer. So talk to me

608
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 3: about how that summer went and the growth that you

609
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: guys had to have moving into that season.

610
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: Yes, like you said, the freshie's left, we had a

611
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: I mean coach had to come up with a new

612
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: starting five. I mean yeah, not even experience, started five

613
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: starting five from scratch. And in the summer, let me

614
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: tell you, I mean we we did not look like

615
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: the number.

616
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: One team in the country. I mean it was horrible.

617
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 2: It was horrible.

618
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: I remember we did a lot of running, just a

619
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: lot of running, yes, from mistakes that we did in practice.

620
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean practice was like conditioning. And I think that

621
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: those moments right there made us stronger and made us

622
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: come together. It made us realize like we need one another,

623
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: like we know this is a South Carolina, this is

624
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: Coach Daley, and they hold a high standard here. So

625
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: we need to keep this you know, standard is winning tradition,

626
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: this standard high and keep our pro habits the same.

627
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean, coach was very much. She was hard on

628
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: us that summer. It was very hard. Like it was

629
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: so hard. When we went to Paris and we played

630
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and we oh my gosh, I remember when

631
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: it was halftime, we was up about like like what

632
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: it was like ten nine.

633
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 2: Oh, we have a team.

634
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: We have a team, Like like we're good. We was

635
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: all jumping for joy, were like we're good. Like we

636
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: have connection, we got chemistry. So from that game, I

637
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: think that game was the stepping stone for us, Like

638
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: we knew what we had. We was like, yeah, we

639
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: need to go and practice every day with this mindset,

640
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: we can be the number one team in the country.

641
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like a lot of us wasn't thinking about

642
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: being a number one team in the country. We didn't

643
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: really care about stuff like that. I think they ranked

644
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: us at number six. We didn't look at stuff like that.

645
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: We always say it's not how you start, it's how

646
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: you finished.

647
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that's huge, Like sometimes when you're

648
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: so caught up and just practice seeing the same people

649
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 3: every day, you feel horrible. You're like, this is so

650
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: ugly right now.

651
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: But once you have a.

652
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: Team against another top team like that, it does so

653
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: much for the confidence and just pushing you.

654
00:26:59,640 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: Guys.

655
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: Having a turning point like that. I feel like for

656
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 3: you to have a turning point in the first game

657
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 3: the season, it's crazy, like, okay, guys, we're fine, We're

658
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: gonna be whatever. Like not a lot of teams get

659
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: to have that so early. And for you, like you

660
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: talked about starting from scratch, a new starting five, it's

661
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 3: a new era, low key. Even though you guys are

662
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 3: like a great band production all those things, being a

663
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 3: starter is different. And so going from starting three games

664
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 3: to thirty five games, what do you think for you

665
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: personally helped you the most making that jump to being

666
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: the starting point guard to being the cattles for your

667
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: team both defensively and offensively.

668
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: iNeST, didn't even think about it like that. Honestly, I

669
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: just say coach always saying your numbers, call be ready

670
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: the loose. I think about let's starter. I think the

671
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: whole If you ask me, the whole team is a

672
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: starting five. I mean, I feel like the people that

673
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: come off the bench is a spark for us. That's

674
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: a whole nother starting five. They bring this whole nother

675
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: spark that helps the game. It flips the game. The

676
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: other teams be tired, they bring this, like Malaysia Tesla,

677
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: they bring this, yeah woo woo, like other teams be tired.

678
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: So I could say they can start if they really

679
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: want to, they can start. So I feel like our

680
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: whole team is a starting five. I don't think we

681
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: look at it as who starts that night, who start,

682
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: Who does starting five? Who come off the bench. We're connected.

683
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: Everybody's a starting five. We want to win and just

684
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: to go what thirty five and no, it was crazy.

685
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't even realize we was doing that,

686
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: going thirty five and no. I all kept saying, we

687
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: just want to win a national championship. That's all we

688
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: kept saying. But thirty five and oh from tracks with

689
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: a whole new starting five, with a whole new basically team.

690
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: Is crazy to me, Like, I honestly still can't believe it.

691
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's an amazing thing that you guys

692
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 3: truly did. And I think what you talked about with

693
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 3: you could put together so many different lineups with your

694
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 3: team one through however many and everybody could be a

695
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 3: starting five. There's a million different lineups you can make,

696
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: and so for a team to be able to have that,

697
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: it's crazy, Like as the other team, like what are

698
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 3: you doing with that? You know, like you come off

699
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: and you think there's gonna be a drop off and boom,

700
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: it's just a new it's fresh legs. It's what it is.

701
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 3: It's five, and which is crazy. And I'm for other team,

702
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: I'd be so frustrating. I'm like, what do you what

703
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: do you like me to do? I'm tired here. They

704
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: got all these starting five out of here. That's crazy.

705
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: And so I think that's just amazing to have. And

706
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 3: I think it starts with the point guard role. And

707
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: so for you stepping into that and being behind the

708
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 3: freshie's and kind of having them be the leaders. What

709
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 3: was it like for you to take on not only

710
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: being the starting point guard producing, but that leadership role

711
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 3: that you had to take on and off the court

712
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: creating that new culture for you guys? What was it

713
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: like stepping into that role?

714
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it was very hard just to see Alida,

715
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: I can say Aliah Boston, she was like a different

716
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: leader from what I am. I mean Alia, she's like

717
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: a leader that's like I call her like Mama. Aliah

718
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: she has like a mom and Aliah she's like she does.

719
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: She wants the right things to happen. She likes things right.

720
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: I say, for me, I'm very playful. That's why they

721
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: call us the daycare. Like our whole team is so playful.

722
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: So I think that just a leader for me is

723
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: probably like on the court, when when the ball goes up,

724
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: we need to be serious, like we need to have

725
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: that win in mentality and in practice, Like when it's

726
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: time to be serious, be serious.

727
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: But when it's time a joke, we can joke. We

728
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: can laugh.

729
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: And I think that you know, we do that at

730
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: a really good rate. We balance it out so well

731
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: and we can like we also have fun with Coach Staley,

732
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: like it's so fun honestly, Like if the daycare everybody

733
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: can join, like you will.

734
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 2: Love it.

735
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 3: Well. I mean, I think having that balance of work

736
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: and play, especially for a team like yours, which has

737
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 3: huge personalities, but at the end of the day, everybody's

738
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: still a dog, a competitor first, and so I think

739
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: when you're able to find that balance of having fun

740
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 3: and working hard, it just creates a winning culture that

741
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 3: you guys clearly have. And talking about don having fun

742
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,239
Speaker 3: and all these different things, everybody seems to have this

743
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 3: unique relationship with don and I feel like for you

744
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: being the point guard, it's a special dynamic that you

745
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: have because you are a second her out there on

746
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: the court being that leader. And so what's your relationship

747
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 3: like with don and how does she impact you on

748
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 3: and off the court?

749
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: Donnie? I love Donny.

750
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean, just like I said, she's like a mother figure.

751
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: I call her Mama, Donny. I can go to her

752
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: about anything, not just with basketball, with life, and I

753
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: think that she helps us with things off the court

754
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: that prepares us for the real world, prepares us for

755
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: her real life aspects.

756
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: And I really like love that about her.

757
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: She made sure we're good and I think just things

758
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: like that make your connection strown with a coach that

759
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 1: you can trust the coach and the coach can trust you.

760
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: And I feel like that translated on the court. I mean, like,

761
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure if coach didn trust me, she wouldn't

762
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: play me like especially at the point guards. It's very

763
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: hard to play that spot under her because she's when

764
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: she was in the game, she knows what it takes

765
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: to win. She knows, you know, she was one of

766
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: those point guards, and I think learning from her and

767
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: just is stealing knowledge from her, it means a lot.

768
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: And just it means a lot for her that she

769
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: can trust me, that she can say she could trust me.

770
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm glad to get in her.

771
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: Talking a little bit more about the team that you

772
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 3: guys had. We talked about the Notre Dame game, first

773
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 3: game the season being the turning point and you guys

774
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 3: knew that you were gonna do. Talk to me about

775
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 3: the pieces that you guys had last year, right bringing

776
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 3: in Malaysia, bringing Tessa, the addition of Tahina, What that

777
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 3: did for you guys. Talk about all those different pieces

778
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 3: and how you guys were able to really like mesh

779
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 3: all of that together to be as cohesive as it was.

780
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: Oh.

781
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: Yes, Like I said in the summer, it was very

782
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: hard to get those combinations together.

783
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 2: But I think Tahina, Tessa, Malaysia, they.

784
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: Brought some different Like Yeahina, I mean, you gotta play

785
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: her like she's a knockdown shooter, not even that she's

786
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: a sniper.

787
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you feel me.

788
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: She we call her Sehina pal Pal, I mean, is

789
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: there her name Papal. She's gonna, you know, hit the shot.

790
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: And Malaysa she's like this flash guy, like the flashy Malaysia.

791
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: She you don't know what she's gonna do. I mean

792
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: she goes down the court.

793
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: You see people in the stands, they be having any

794
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: eyes open, like what is she about to do? Like

795
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: it's something crazy coming from her. So I think she

796
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: just she's like generational talent, like she does stuff that

797
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: Noah girl does. I mean it's very it's very crazy.

798
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: And then you have Tessa also spread the floor, who.

799
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: Shoots the ball like no other.

800
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean if when she shoots, it's either she's making

801
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: or making. I mean there's no missing, there's no missus.

802
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean Tessa, she's coming to her own And I

803
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: think Testa's going to be a really good player. Like

804
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: she does stuff that somebody on our team doesn't do,

805
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: Like she learning the defensive end. She wants to get

806
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: better on the defensive end. Testa she's a sponge like

807
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: she wants to learn. And if you see her in practice.

808
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: She's always put up shots after practice. So it's things

809
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: like that. As a freshman, like that freshman class, they

810
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: wanted to win, like you could just sell.

811
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: They had a different mindset coming in.

812
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think for you guys to be able

813
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: to have all those different weapons and it worked together

814
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 3: cohesively because you guys all bring such different things and

815
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 3: so when you guys were able to find that rhythm,

816
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: it's scary for other teams. And you still have TESTI

817
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 3: Malasia coming off the bench, like how are you supposed

818
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 3: to handle that? You know what I mean? And you

819
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 3: guys all do everything so well. And so moving throughout

820
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament and take out UNC Indiana, working state

821
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: anti state to get to the championship, that's not an

822
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 3: easy road. That's a hard road. And I remember specifically

823
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 3: that Indiana game was close down towards the end of

824
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: the stretch of the game. Do you feel feel like

825
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: you maybe needed a game like that to test you guys,

826
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: or maybe even taking it back to the Tennessee game

827
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 3: and that SEC final, do you feel like you needed

828
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 3: those tests to prepare you for what was coming next

829
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 3: in the Final four to get you ready to understand

830
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 3: the weight of the moment that you were in.

831
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: Oh.

832
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: Yes, the Tennessee game it prepared us. I mean we

833
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: took our foot off the gas. I mean we was

834
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: up by a lot and then that fourth quarter they

835
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: came back. So it just told us, you know, we

836
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: got to keep our foot on the gas the whole game.

837
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: We can't let them come back, you know, by the

838
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: grace of God. Kamilla hit that shot. Yeah, and oh

839
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: my gosh, that was the craziest game. Like that was

840
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: the craziesta. Kamilla hit a three and to win the game.

841
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: It was so crazy. But yeah, Indiana game, like you said,

842
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: SEC play is more of like up and down, fast paced,

843
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: very physical Indiana Oregon State they're more of like run

844
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 1: sex teams. They like to slow the game down, run sets,

845
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: run the time out, find an open shooter, set a

846
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: lot of screens, which was very different for us, So

847
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: we had to you know, adjust to it and coach

848
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: our watching film. They told us that, you know, this

849
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: is going to be a different ball game. It's not

850
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of up and down. It's

851
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of half court sets, running through screens.

852
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: You gotta play defense, it's the little things that matter

853
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: with these teams, and I think those type of games

854
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: it prepared us for Final four games.

855
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: It prepared us, prepared us for those type of moments.

856
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that we met teams like Indiana or

857
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: Oregon State in the NCAAA tournament because, I mean, they

858
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: were good teams. They were really good teams, and they

859
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: made us adjust to what their style of ball was.

860
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that's a really interesting point that

861
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 3: you bring up, because like SEC plays one type of way, right,

862
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 3: and then you're playing PAC twelve teams, ACC teams. Everybody

863
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: has such different styles, which really prepares you to go

864
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: to a game like Iowa where it's very different style

865
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 3: than you guys play. But having those games prior, you

866
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 3: got to understand how things may look being more set

867
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 3: driven and compared to transition. And so heading into that

868
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: championship game, what was your mental prep going into a

869
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 3: game like that after the way it ended last season

870
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: and all the different things going on. How did you

871
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 3: kind of find that moment like we talked about earlier,

872
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 3: where you need to operate? How did you stay with

873
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 3: the moment?

874
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: Oh, I was on ten, I mean the whole team.

875
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: We was up like we were so ready to play

876
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: this championship game. The day before in film, Be kept saying.

877
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: Why can't the game be the day? Why can't the

878
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 2: game be the day.

879
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: We was on that type of energy, and when game

880
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: time came, I don't think none of us was really nervous.

881
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: We was more of like ready to get out there

882
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: and play the game, like forty minutes basketball. We was

883
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: ready for forty minutes of basketball. And not even that.

884
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: We trusted the game plan Coach Winston that we brought in.

885
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,959
Speaker 1: He was the scout person for IOWA, and we really

886
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: trusted his game plan.

887
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 2: I think when the ball went.

888
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: Up, I mean, yeah, Kaitlyn had what eighty points on us,

889
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: and I don't think none of us got rattled, None

890
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: of us, you know, we was like, oh, the game

891
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: is over.

892
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: None of that.

893
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean we trusted what coach was gonna bring. She

894
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: made an adjustment and she you know, changed the game plan.

895
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 1: She put me on her, which.

896
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: I was so ready.

897
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to guard here from the start. I was ready, Like, yes,

898
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,479
Speaker 1: I was ready. I wanted to guard her from the start.

899
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: But when she made the adjustment, I was like, this

900
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: is my time. When a moment's called, like you always

901
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: say when your jersey numbers called, be ready produce. So

902
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: I was like, this is my time. I got to

903
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: you feel me do what I do. And I think

904
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: I did a good job looking just holding her to

905
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: a limit amount of points.

906
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 2: But I think she did a really good job of

907
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 2: coming out.

908
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: Just banging threes on us, get a score up for

909
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: her team. I think we needed that. Honestly, it made

910
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: us think that, you know, like Tennessee game, don't take

911
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: your foot off the gas, Like the game is never

912
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: over to the ends, not.

913
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: How you start, it's always how you finished.

914
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 3: How do you think for you having a bounce back

915
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 3: game like that, your specific performance being able to, like

916
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 3: you said, rise the occasion when your number was called,

917
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: you want to guard her from the start, wasn't your matchup,

918
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 3: but when it came time to do it, you locked up.

919
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 3: You do what you needed to do. You brought the

920
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 3: energy offensively, getting buckets, get your teammates evolved. How fulfilling

921
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: was that for you to have that type of performance too,

922
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 3: Like you knew you could do it, but actually having

923
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: it come out that way, what did that do for you?

924
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 2: Honestly?

925
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: During the game. I didn't even realize I was doing

926
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: all this, you know. I kept looking at the scoreboard.

927
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: I was like, we gotta win. Like I remember their

928
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: score ones up, they had two points. We went and

929
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: got two points. So I was just like, we gotta

930
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: win this game. Like I would do whatever it takes

931
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: to win. I gotta play defense, ive, I gotta rebound,

932
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: if I gotta what coach wants me to do.

933
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 2: We have to win.

934
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: But after when we went into the locker room and

935
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: Coach told us the stacks, I was like, wait, what wait,

936
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: really like, oh my gosh, and she's like, yes, you

937
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: prepare yourself for this moment, like you have prepared yourself

938
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: for this moment. And I think that you know, honestly,

939
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: from the beginning of the season, I wanted to play

940
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: Iowa in a championship. I said that was no better

941
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: way to end a season with playing a team that

942
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: beat you the year before and beating them to win

943
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: a national championship. So I think that you know, that

944
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: was God and just to do it like that, would

945
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: go thirty five and know with them at the end

946
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: beating them was it was really crazy.

947
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 2: I do give my hats off to Iowa. I mean

948
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: they they brought it to us.

949
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean that was a team I never played a

950
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: team like that, and I think that the things that

951
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: they did it was very different, Like we had to adjust,

952
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: we had to change a little game plan that we had.

953
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that, like you said, it couldn't

954
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 3: have been a better story ending for you guys to

955
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 3: go thirty five and no, have it come full circle

956
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 3: to have it be them again, it's amazing. And talking

957
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: about Don a little bit, what was it like to

958
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 3: see coach cry after the wind because she's not a

959
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 3: big crier and so like, why do you think this

960
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 3: one hit so hard for her?

961
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: To this day, I'll always be like, I never seen

962
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: you cry like I never like I remember the twenty

963
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: what year was that, twenty twenty two? Yeah, yeah, she

964
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: didn't cry at all, Like she did not cry, But

965
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: this year she cry. It was so crazy, I feel

966
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: like the thirty five and No and not even that,

967
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: starting from scratch, from what we came from the summer

968
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: to what we ended with, it was crazy. I mean

969
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't easy, Like it was not easy. There were

970
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 1: some high with the highs and there was some low

971
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: with the lows.

972
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: I mean it was.

973
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: It was a task and just for her to be

974
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: our coach and to keep us going, just have this

975
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: level headed for us to you know, just keep a

976
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: winning mentality. So I think that's what really made her cry.

977
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: But her crying it was crazy. I was like, oh

978
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: my gosh, Shalley is crying.

979
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 2: Like her crying was like wow, Like I never see

980
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: her crying to this day.

981
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 3: I was like, that is hilarious. You're like, girl, get

982
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 3: it together. This is not you. What's going on? That

983
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 3: is funny. And then also just like for you and

984
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 3: Camilla's relationship playing together for so long, getting to see

985
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 3: her when Mop heard about how yes wait the aau

986
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 3: yet to communicate through Google translated at times, what was

987
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 3: it like to watch her get to be at the

988
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 3: pinnacle of it when Mop how those things have it

989
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 3: come full circle for her?

990
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 2: Well, Camilla since since she first moved to America.

991
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: I mean I remember, yeah, like you said, I had

992
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: we had to call plays in Portuguese for her when

993
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: she first got here. Just to see her growth with

994
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: just basketball, with stuff outside of basketball.

995
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: Her learning English, her learning the game of basketball. It's

996
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 2: just stuff like that.

997
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: And I think that her coming to South Carolina was

998
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: a big thing for her. Changed her very much much.

999
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: It changed her mentally physically, and I think it prepared

1000
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: her for the next level. Honestly, Camilla, at any level,

1001
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: egg you she want to win.

1002
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 2: We did not win an au. She cried like she

1003
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 2: cried her eyes out, like it's so crazy.

1004
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: But in college Camilla had a different It was a

1005
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: different Camilla that I seen. I was like, Camilla's bringing

1006
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: this more physical, It's more I don't know, sad like Camilla.

1007
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 3: Yes, talk on the court.

1008
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: I never seen Camilla do that, Like she would never

1009
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: talk back to nobody, none of that. But on the

1010
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: court last season, Oh, she used to talk bad like

1011
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 1: you couldn't tell Camilla she wasn't that it girl.

1012
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 2: So I think Camilla she has changed, came a long way.

1013
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: She was very physical, just doing the things that coach

1014
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: wanted her to do, which it was to be dominant.

1015
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: And I think that she was very dominant in the

1016
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: Tasty game in that three, was very dominant, crazy, like.

1017
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 3: Did you think about it? Stepped into it was like,

1018
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 3: oh I got it to bucket, Yes, that was crazy.

1019
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 2: She practiced those shots in practice.

1020
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: Oh so she was ready. Yeah, she shots like coach Boyd,

1021
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: they'd be having a post. Players shoot shots threes all

1022
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: the time. It's Camil like, I don't want to shoot No.

1023
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 2: Three. I'm not gonna shoot them three in in the game,

1024
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 2: Like what?

1025
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: And I think those moments like that made her confidence,

1026
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: Like she literally didn't even hesitate, she shot the ball

1027
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: so fluently and they went in love that.

1028
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 3: I think that's so cool that you got to witness

1029
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 3: her throughout all these different stages of growth and then

1030
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 3: get to see it at that final level. That's amazing.

1031
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 3: And so we're gonna talk about Nil. It's changed the game,

1032
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 3: and I feel like we needed to get She's about

1033
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 3: our money and financial literacy all the things. So what

1034
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: is the biggest financial advice that you've gotten throughout the

1035
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 3: NL process?

1036
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 2: Save your money?

1037
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, a lot of people do tell me

1038
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: to save your money because, like at the next level

1039
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: compared to the men's sports and women's sports, and we

1040
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: don't get paid as much as men, which is so crazy.

1041
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: But as you can see, this season was totally different.

1042
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: Everybody watches sports and everybody was tuned in, so there

1043
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: should definitely be a change coming. And then they're adding

1044
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: more teams, so that's something starting at least we're starting

1045
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: from you know something. But yeah, a lot of people

1046
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: did say save your money, and not even that invests

1047
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: investing your money. So yes, I have a financial agent

1048
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: and he's actually having me invest in my money and

1049
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: also save my money.

1050
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 3: So I love that. Well, that leads us right into

1051
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: our next question of what are some things outside of

1052
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 3: basketball that you're passionate about that you may want to

1053
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: invest in one day or if you already have now.

1054
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: Honestly, I want to do a nonprofit. Yes, I do

1055
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: want to do a nonprofit. Okay, I don't laugh at this.

1056
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: I tell people I'm from Nigeria because that's my dream vacation.

1057
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: But I'm not from Nigeria, but from Nigeria wink week.

1058
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 3: You know for sure, I won't, I won't question it.

1059
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 2: But I do want to do a nonprofit in Atlanta.

1060
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: Just give back to girls like I feel like I

1061
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: was in their shoes before and there's people that gave

1062
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: back to me.

1063
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 2: So I want to do the same thing. Get back

1064
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 2: to my school, what's like, just do things like that?

1065
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: Started camp. I did camp this summer. It was free

1066
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, anybody could come. I gave

1067
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: our spread ground book bad. So it's just stuff like that,

1068
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: just starting from stuff like that, giving back to the

1069
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: community because the community gave to me when I was young.

1070
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's amazing. It's getting to be on the

1071
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 3: other side of it now we're like you got to receive.

1072
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 3: Now you just get to continue, and I think that

1073
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 3: is so special. And then a little more about NIL

1074
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 3: is there's a lot of obligations that come with it.

1075
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 3: And so how do you feel like you've been able

1076
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 3: to balance your NIL stuff that you have to do

1077
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 3: with basketball and with your academic load.

1078
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 1: Oh it's hard, honestly, it's another task, I mean another

1079
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: time management to add on your list.

1080
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: I mean it is.

1081
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you want the money, so you're gonna do it.

1082
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: You got to carve out some space for it. You

1083
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: got to carve out some space for it.

1084
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: But it is hard.

1085
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean, just stuff that some of these companies they

1086
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: want you to do. It's like, oh my gosh, Like

1087
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: why do you want me to do all this?

1088
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, But you won't.

1089
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: Say nothing because you want the money. But yeah, it

1090
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: is very much time management. I think that's why you

1091
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: have an agent who can't help you balance that life

1092
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: of nil class and in sports. So that's a good

1093
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: thing of having an agent.

1094
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure. They help you with that management

1095
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 3: and they get the bad guy like no, Raven can't

1096
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 3: do this actually, and that you don't have to put

1097
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 3: any of that on you. That's for them to do.

1098
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1099
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 3: And then leading into your junior season coming up, you

1100
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 3: guys have an amazing core returning and still adding a

1101
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,919
Speaker 3: new freshman some new pieces, which is really exciting. What

1102
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 3: role are you looking forward to take on that may

1103
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 3: be the same from last season and growing on it,

1104
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 3: or maybe something different that you want to bring this year.

1105
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: I want to add scoring, being more physical, being more aggressive,

1106
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, I like the way like Jackie Young's score.

1107
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: I think it's a three level score, the mill rings

1108
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: level at the basket and a three point I mean

1109
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: just trying to score at the way she is a

1110
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: three level score. So I think like adding that to

1111
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: this season would be very good for me. I think

1112
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: that would just open up players more for me, Like

1113
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: they can't sag off me, they have to play me,

1114
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: And I think that will open the post player up,

1115
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,439
Speaker 1: That will open I mean the whole our whole team,

1116
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: the whole team can score. So if I add that

1117
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: with them, I mean it's gonna be crazy.

1118
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that was gonna be My next question

1119
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 3: was what's going to be on display? Three point shot

1120
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 3: three level score? Think it changes the game, like, not

1121
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 3: only for you, like you said, the team, because now

1122
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 3: people have to respect you in a different way. So

1123
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 3: obviously now it makes you when people are pressed upon you.

1124
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 3: Now you can blow by playmate, do what you like

1125
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 3: to do, all the different things, and open so much

1126
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 3: up more So, I'm excited to see that on display

1127
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 3: from you this year. But we've talked about the talent

1128
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 3: across college bastle right now. It's an all time high

1129
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 3: from returners, incoming freshmen, super seniors, all the above. And

1130
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 3: so what do you feel like about this year's team?

1131
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: Even though you guys have the returning core, what's going

1132
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 3: to be your team's identity that's going to set you,

1133
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 3: guys apart and take you back to another Final four?

1134
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 3: Another natty.

00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think it's our thing. Uncomming.

1136
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: I think we're very uncomming, and I think you got

1137
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: to expect the unexpect it with us.

1138
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: We are very much uncoming. There you go, that's the word.
