1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: And welcome in Lake Kidgys Live.

2
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, June first Rabbit, Rabbit, make sure you

3
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: say it before midnight to night the Year of Our

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 2: Lord twenty twenty one. Yeah, it's Tuesday. If this was

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: the regular season, this would be normal. But this is secondary.

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: Season, not to be confused with the off season, which

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: certainly doesn't exist.

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: As evidence with how jampacked the show is tonight, but

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: we're doing a Tuesday show because we can't wait till Thursday.

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: I've got stuff that we had to cut from the

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: show again on a Tuesday in June, so that's how

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: loaded we are. We have got major transfer news. We've

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: got to talk about Georgia just all of a sudden

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: owning the transfer portal there was. Remember once upon a

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: time it was Oklahoma and Florida.

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: Early on it looked like Florida.

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: Owned this thing, and now kids that were at Florida

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: have since committed to Georgia.

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: We shall touch on all that.

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: Also, that recruiting floodgate that we have been teasing or

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: the better part of two months.

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: It opened today.

23
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: The sirens went off at eleven fifty five pm last night,

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: and then at twelve o'clock they opened the dams and

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: it started to just flood recruiting news after midnight.

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you understood me correctly.

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: Those of you who are diehard recruiting fans, you saw

28
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: it last night If you didn't, and I'm gonna let

29
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: you know what did happen and what is happening. Our

30
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: staff's give you a perfect example. The Noles twenty four

31
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: to seven staff had a thirteen page deep thread last

32
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: night on their board that was being updated every few minutes.

33
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: At one thirty in the morning. I know because I

34
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: drove back to Nashville last night and when I got

35
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: in that's what was going on there. So, needless to say,

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: there's a lot to talk about speaking of FSU, A

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: very rare move for June, but we got to do it.

38
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: We got to update the mood tracker for the Seminoles.

39
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on there beneath the surface that again,

40
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: if you're not following FSU closely, you may not know.

41
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: But then again, you watch this show, so we'll keep

42
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: you up to date on all that. And we're doing

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: part three in a series that I don't see ending

44
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: anytime soon of potential big time impact freshman this season

45
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: that's gotten really good, good numbers. I mean, I wouldn't

46
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: keep doing it if you guys didn't like it. So

47
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: you've had a lot of comments and a lot of

48
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: things to say about that. It's not a one time

49
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: deal though, So a lot of you have asked, where's

50
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: Corey Farman at We's gonna be on the show tonight,

51
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: not in person, but we're gonna talk about it tonight.

52
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: We have not gotten to every impact freshman, but we

53
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: will remember. Remember remember I got to give you a

54
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: thank you, and we're diving right into the show here.

55
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: A lot of you have already followed on Instagram and

56
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: Twitter at Late Kick Josh. Really that's one of the

57
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: few things we ask you to do. It's all free,

58
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: I believe it or not. We're not charging to follow

59
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: anywhere on a social media platform. But I just want

60
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: to tell you if you could see what I see

61
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: when our numbers come in, you would know I can't

62
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: in good conscious give them to you because I'd probably

63
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: get fired. Just know I keep you as updated as

64
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: I can. You guys are doing a phenomenal job. We're

65
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: seeing growth the lights of which you should not be

66
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: seeing this time of year. I think it pales in

67
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: comparison to what you and I are going to be

68
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: able to do this year. And when I say you

69
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: and I, I mean Director of Meritith Colin Jesse, the

70
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: entire crew in Connecticut. We've got a lot of people

71
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: working behind the scenes in conjunction with you. You to

72
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: make me sitting at this desk talking in this microphone

73
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: a big success.

74
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: So thank you to them, Thank you to you.

75
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: Just keep sharing our stuff, keep putting it in those

76
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: Instagram stories, tweets, whatnot.

77
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: It really helps. Thank you. Let's dive into the show.

78
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: What a day?

79
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's just sit back. If you're listening on Wednesday,

80
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: then it's yesterday. If you're watching live right now, or

81
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 2: you're watching a little bit after the show, it's still Tuesday.

82
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: What a day This Tuesday has been. Georgia football. I mean,

83
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: you guys, wake up this morning. If you're a Bulldog fan,

84
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: you've heard the rumors. Well by the time you're laying

85
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: your head down on your pillow tonight, you have added

86
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: Eric Gilbert to your roster. You've added Darien Kendrick to

87
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: your roster. So let's talk about who these players are

88
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: because this is huge. Your first question, who are these players?

89
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: How big an impact is this? Well, let me answer

90
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: in reverse order. This is a huge impact day for Georgia.

91
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: This very well could have turned the tide for all

92
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: we know in the SEC Championship race and a playoff

93
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: race in the SEC Eastern Division race. It could have

94
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: shifted who's going to win in Week one Georgia versus Clemson.

95
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: All that's to be decided. You never know what today

96
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: could have been the impetus for Eric Gilbert. You remember

97
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: that name, well, five star tight end out of Marrietta, Georgia.

98
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: Watched him in person in high school. One of the

99
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: very best high school players I've ever seen in my life.

100
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: A lot of these guys look good in high school.

101
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, he looked good even amongst the ones

102
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: who looked good in high school.

103
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: Went to LSU, didn't work out, transferred.

104
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: And had a cup of coffee, maybe like half a

105
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: cup of coffee at Florida.

106
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,119
Speaker 1: Decommitted again.

107
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: Well, he winds up at Georgia, which is, you know,

108
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: right down the road from where he grew up and

109
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: where he played his high school ball. You see Jesse

110
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: if you're watching on YouTube showing you the notables about

111
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: the player profile there. I'm going to circle back to

112
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: Gilbert in just a second. Darien Kendrick, maybe you don't

113
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: know that name as much if you watch ACC ball,

114
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: if you watch Clemson, you know his name. Back in

115
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, he was originally recruited as a wide receiver,

116
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: ended up transitioning to dB and was a very good

117
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: dB for Clemson. He was first team All at ACC

118
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: I believe last year, and and play.

119
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: He's played a ton of ball.

120
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what's important because the entire talking point about

121
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: Georgia secondary, which is correct, is there's not a whole

122
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: lot of experience there. But we've learned an important lesson,

123
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: haven't we along the way in this whole transfer portal

124
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: era trademark. And I'm going to circle back to that

125
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: lesson actually in about two minutes. But I want to

126
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: keep reiterating the lesson because one thing that used to

127
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: happen during preview magazine season is as soon as you

128
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: got that nice, crisp physical copy of that preview magazine

129
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: in your hand, rosters were set. We know who's on

130
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 2: every team. All right, let's start drawing conclusions about teams

131
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: can't do that anymore. All Right, So let's talk about

132
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: these players, and let me tell you how big this

133
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: is for Georgia. Because this does not just impact Georgia.

134
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: This impacts you. If you're a Clemson Tiger fan, if

135
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: you're a Bama fan, if you're a USC or Oregon fan,

136
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: Oklahoma fan. This has to do with every single one

137
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 2: of you. It is a true keystone move in that

138
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: its ripple effects will affect the entire sport. Eric Gilbert

139
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: is another transfer portal lesson, and the lesson is do

140
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: not draw conclusions on teams and rosters until camp opens,

141
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: because the transfer portal is teaching us, in some cases

142
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: a very hard lesson that if you run your mouth

143
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: too early about what a position group is and what

144
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: a team is and isn't, this could bite you. Remember

145
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: when George Pickens went down, Think about this. George Pickens

146
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: goes down in springball for Georgia. The immediate snap of

147
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: the fingers. Reaction from a lot of people was, well,

148
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: that pretty much screws them out of an opportunity to

149
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: win anything of significance this year. And by significance most

150
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: of you ment a national championship. You've seen Georgia win

151
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: the sec You've seen him go to the playoff. You're

152
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: talking about being able to win a title. Well, it

153
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: stands to reason they're not going to be able to

154
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: do it without their number one receiver. Right Well, what

155
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 2: were you saying then? What are you saying right now?

156
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: This really is a game changer. So you may ask yourself,

157
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: and you may ask me, since I'm the one talking here,

158
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: you may say, Josh, I hear all that, But isn't

159
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: this really an apples to orangees comparison? This whole George

160
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: Pickens to Eric Gilbert deal because one's a wide receiver

161
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: and one's a tight end. No friend, one is a

162
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: wide receiver, the other was a tight end.

163
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: But if you look closely at that state.

164
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: But mister Gilbert put out today and you listen to

165
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: folks Rusty, Jake, Kip and the like to cover the

166
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: Georgia program as well as anyone in the market and

167
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: touched on this earlier today as well. Eric Gilbert's being

168
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: brought into play wide receiver, albeit at sixty three, two

169
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: hundred and forty five pounds. But Gilbert was a wide

170
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: receiver in high school. I know they listed him as

171
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: a tie it end, but I mean, I will never

172
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: forget watching Marietta play. He played pretty high level ball

173
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: in Georgia and watching him, you know, on jet sweeps

174
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: and end the rounds at sixty three two forty five

175
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: getting the corner on corners that were you know, sixty

176
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: seventy pounds lighter than him. He can do that, Okay.

177
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: He has the row physicality to be able to do that.

178
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: Physicality is the wrong word. He has the physical ability

179
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: to do that. The big question of Eric Gilbert is

180
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: going to be, well, two things. Number one, where is

181
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: he mentally? I think that's a fair question. There's a

182
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: lot that's going on from the last time you saw

183
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: him play football until the next time you'll see him

184
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: play football, So it's a fair question if you want

185
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: to question that. I have questions about it. That's probably

186
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: chief among them. Where is Eric Gilbert mentally? The second

187
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: thing is, I don't know what in the world he's

188
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: been doing from a training perspective.

189
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: So we want him at wide receiver.

190
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: Well, I look at him right now, is six three

191
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: two forty five is ultra impressive. But I wonder where

192
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: he is from a conditioning standpoint physically, So let me

193
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: put that out there, if Eric Gilbert is where he

194
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: needs to be from the neck up, and if his

195
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: conditioning and his physical nature is where it needs to be.

196
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: If those boxes are checked, this group, this offensive group

197
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: at Georgia can redefine what Georgia football is. So let

198
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: me think about this and let me think it out loud,

199
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: and you follow along with me. It's always in vogue

200
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 2: to doubt Georgia offensively in the SEC, even amongst the

201
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: fan base. A lot of folks doubt because they haven't

202
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: seen and the nature of college football fans and sports

203
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: fans in general is a lot of times you just

204
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: have to see it to believe it.

205
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: I guess that's human nature.

206
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: Good Michael Jackson song for my money the best one,

207
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: and it's also true.

208
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: So if you tell me it's human nature, you're right.

209
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 2: I like to try and see around the corner a

210
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: little bit, because I don't think there's any skill in

211
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: waiting until something happens to talk about it happens.

212
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: I think anyone playing checkers in the park can do that.

213
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: If you've got Eric Gilbert where he needs to be

214
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: from the neck up, if he is physically where he

215
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: needs to be, and you look at the other pieces

216
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: on this offense. This group has a chance to redefine

217
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: what we think when we say Georgia football. And what

218
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: I mean by that is they don't have just a

219
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: bunch of pieces that we talk about depth all the time.

220
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: Depth is not a bunch of names on roster.

221
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: Depth is either a proven ability or an unproven ability.

222
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: But knowing you have the horses in the stable that

223
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna need, not only do they have the horses there,

224
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: what George is gonna look at in Week one against Clemson,

225
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: for example, if everyone's healthy, is they're gonna look at

226
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: a lot of versatility and they're gonna look at a

227
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: lot of multiplicity. Wasn't a good movie, It's a very

228
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 2: good thing to have on your football roster. You have

229
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: got guys like Arian Smith, Demetrius Robertson. Those guys can

230
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 2: pop the top off a defense if you need him to.

231
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: But then you've also got guys like Jermaine Burton, who's

232
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: probably my favorite ride receiver and probably favorite skilled piece

233
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: that they have right now. But then when you add

234
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: in guys like Darnel Washington, and I've made it, what

235
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: three or four minutes into the segment, haven't even mentioned

236
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: the starting tight end there, Darnell Washington, who's a monster.

237
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: He's even bigger than Gilbert. And then you put Eric

238
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: Gilbert on the field. I want you to search the

239
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: nation and I want you to find me the collection

240
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: of defensive backs that can go four for four or

241
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: five for five, depending on formation, across the board and

242
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: can contain that for four quarters. I'm not talking about

243
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 2: knocking down a pass. Okay, whistle blows, go back to

244
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: the huddle at second and ten. I'm talking about doing

245
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: it sustained for four quarters. We know what it takes

246
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: to win in the sport. Now we know what it takes,

247
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: and we know Georgia had had it consistently. I have

248
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 2: maintained to you and I will still maintain. I think

249
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: they started to make a lot of the moves they

250
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: needed to last year. It got preempted by COVID. I've

251
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: beaten that horse to death. We don't need to revisit that.

252
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: But they are where they need to be offensively. They

253
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: are coming along at a time where their wide receiver

254
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: room and their quarterback room, chief among them being the

255
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: starting quarterback.

256
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: There is where it needs to be. To the degree it.

257
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: Has not been okay, So when when those things align,

258
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: I know it's gonna be very popular to try and

259
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: look and find reasons why George is not going to

260
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: explode offensively this year. I'm not gonna look for him, Okay,

261
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna.

262
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: Be the opposite.

263
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look at the pieces Georgia has and I'm

264
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: gonna tell you, I'd be stunned if Georgia didn't have

265
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 2: a top three offense in the country this year. I'd

266
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: be stunned if they didn't have it. Maybe they don't

267
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: been wrong before. I'm gonna have to see how it

268
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: unfolds if they don't have that. Secondly, Darien Kendrick comes

269
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 2: on board. Now, the offensive guy is gonna get a

270
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: lot of the acclaim, but I think that coaching staff there,

271
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: if you really got the truth out of him, they

272
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: may even be a little bit more excited about Darien Kendrick.

273
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: Darien Kendrick needs to be mentioned in the same breath

274
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: with Brandon Turnage and with Tyke Smith. Those are the

275
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: two other defensive backs that Kirby Smart and his staff

276
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: have brought in via the transfer portal. They being Georgia

277
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: now have three kids in the top twenty in the

278
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: Transfer Portal rankings. By the way that they in Oklahoma,

279
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: those are the only two programs that have that. I

280
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 2: believe you had another lesson really kind of like we

281
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: were talking about with Er at Gilbert, do not judge

282
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: teams before they get to camp. Just a month or

283
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: two ago, people were looking at Georgia preview magazine. Season

284
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: is about to be upon us, and you're saying, what

285
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read on those pages is Georgia is razor

286
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: thin and ultra green in their defensive backroom.

287
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: Well they were, but the process wasn't over.

288
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: These good staffs, they don't ever stop trying to upgrade

289
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: and evaluate their roster.

290
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: And so Kirby smart they got out of spring.

291
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: Anybody who follows Georgia football knew they were about to

292
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: dive into that portal head first, and they were trying

293
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: to find help in that defensive backfield. They went and

294
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: got Smith, Tike Smith from West Virginia, who I think

295
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: is going to be one of the more unsung heroes

296
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: of the transfer portal because he was brought in to

297
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: play nickel, which means they don't have to cross train

298
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: a bunch of true freshmen of first year starters at

299
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: an unfamiliar position. Secondly, they bring in turnage, which, if

300
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: nothing else, starts to add some valuable depth.

301
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: And then you bring in Darien Kendrick.

302
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: Who's played high level ball for a Reno National championship contender.

303
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 2: He's been in a ton of big games, He's got

304
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: a ton of reps under his belt. And so now

305
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: what did we answer? Well, number one, you filled the

306
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: void that was left immediately by George Pickens with er

307
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: at Gilbert you also filled a couple of voids, and

308
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: you made a room that looked like a relative weakness.

309
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: Now I'm not gonna go so far as to call

310
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: it the strength of the team, but it certainly isn't

311
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: something that you wave a great, big red flag over

312
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: every time we talk about Georgia football. Is this gonna

313
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: put a lot of pressure on Georgia? To me, it's

314
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: the dumbest storyline in America. There's pressure on every program.

315
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 2: If you're getting paid to coach this game, let me

316
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: fill you in a little secret. If you're getting paid

317
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: to do a job, period, there's going to be pressure

318
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: on you. If you're being paid at the highest level,

319
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: then there is going to be immense pressure on you.

320
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: It's a privilege to coach under pressure.

321
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: What it's the alternative?

322
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: Don't go pick up guys out of the transfer portal?

323
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: Is the alternative? Don't recruit at a high level so

324
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: we won't have the players to put us in position

325
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: against an Alabama or in Oklahoma.

326
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: Is that the alternative? It's stupid.

327
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: People never think this stuff through when they say it.

328
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: You know, Georgia goes out and recruits, but they don't

329
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: get it done.

330
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: They don't get what done.

331
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: They can't run up against the greatest dynasty in the

332
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: history of the sport and take them down. Shame on

333
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: Georgia for not being able to do what really no

334
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: one else has been able to do. Clemson's taken a

335
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: couple of bites out of them, even Clemson hasn't supplanted them.

336
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, Clemson doesn't have to play

337
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: in the same conference as Alabama.

338
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: So what have they not done? They hadn't won a

339
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: national title and that's about it.

340
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: And I remind you all they went to overtime of

341
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: a national title game. Is there pressure on Kirby Spartan

342
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: his team? Yeah, there was before these transfers. There will

343
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: be this year. I think this is the best collection

344
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: of talent that they've had. I think it gives them

345
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: the best opportunity to win a national championship. Is there

346
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure? Yeah, there was yesterday, there is today,

347
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: there will be tomorrow. It's a privilege man to be

348
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: able to coach under that much pressure. If you're not

349
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: under the pressure, that means no one thinks you have

350
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: a chance. It has to do anything. If they don't

351
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: think you have a chance, it's because you haven't put

352
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: enough talent in that room, in that locker room to

353
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: give you a chance.

354
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: Well now you got a chance. Now you go get

355
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: it done.

356
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: And hey, guess what if they finish eleven and one

357
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: this year and their loss is in the SEC title

358
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: game and it knocks them out of the playoff, you

359
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: know what they'll do. They'll come right back next year.

360
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: No one's getting fired. There's no hot seed if you

361
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: don't win a national title. That's pure Xbox fantasy Land.

362
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: They got a good shot this year, as do about

363
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: three or four other programs. They're going to tee it up,

364
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: Chips fall where they may, But Georgia got a whole

365
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: lot better today. That's the takeaway They got a whole

366
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: lot better today and they filled a couple of need positions.

367
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: Now we move on, As is usually the case in

368
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: our business. It's not just good enough to talk about something.

369
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: We always like to market things, like to brand things.

370
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: It's a very old saying. Get tired of saying the

371
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: word branding, But branding is key. So I figure we

372
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: got a big recruiting wave coming at us. Let's just

373
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: call this the summer of scoop because there's gonna be

374
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: a lot of it to be had. Steve Wilfong had

375
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: a live blog on twenty four seven sports dot Com.

376
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: He's been running it throughout the day and it's just

377
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: updating whenever he hears something. I was on the phone

378
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: with Wilfong twice today. I think in the span of

379
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: time between those two calls, he probably talked to like

380
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: five or six dozen coaches and staffers and players. There's

381
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: no one more dialed in and connected than Sir Stephen Wilfong.

382
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's been knighted yet.

383
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: If he hasn't, though, I call him sir because it's

384
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: inevitable it's gonna happen one day. Coaching staffs have been

385
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: preparing for this day for months now. January first, what's

386
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: magic about that? Will at twelve o'clock or twelve oh one,

387
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure how that happens. Anyway, somewhere around

388
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: midnight on the East Coast, the recruiting dead period was lifted,

389
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: and now you can have kids on campus. You can

390
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: have those in person visits, you can have face to

391
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: face contact. You got some kids in this twenty twenty

392
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: two cycle that have not been on a college campus,

393
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: and obviously programs have not had kids on campus, and

394
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: well over a year. Will all that ended today. Here's

395
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: where to focus. Okay, there are a couple of things

396
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: I want you to keep a close eye on. I'm

397
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: not going to run down a list of kids and

398
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 2: where I think they're going to go. We've got some

399
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: time to do that. Remember, it's going to be the

400
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: summer of Scoop, not the show of Scoop. But here's

401
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: where to focus. A couple of things to pay close

402
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: attention to, because this is what coaching staffs are talking about.

403
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: Number One, how many of these twenty twenty two elite

404
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: recruits are ready to pop already? How many of them

405
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 2: have gone through zoom recruiting and think they know where

406
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: they want to go, and you know, the in person

407
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: visit's kind of going to be a formality, but largely

408
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: they're already ready to commit.

409
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: How many of those are there out there?

410
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: I think the answer is quite a few, But I

411
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: don't know that it's just going to happen boom like that. Okay,

412
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get back to that in a second. The

413
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 2: second thing, this is the key. You're not always going

414
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: to be able to see this. It's going to be

415
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: a case by case as to how much your team

416
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: site can keep you updated based on how forthcoming staffs

417
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: are with information camps and in person recruiting evaluations. You've

418
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: got some kids defensive linemen and offensive linement in particular,

419
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: that you have not been able to in person.

420
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: If you're a coach.

421
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: In a year and a half and a funny thing

422
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: happens to sixteen and seventeen year old kids over the

423
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: span of twelve to eighteen months, at the most formative

424
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: period in their adolescence. They grow and so a lot

425
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 2: of kids are about to show up. And whereas you

426
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: once shook their hand and you look down at them,

427
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: now you're going to look up at them. You know,

428
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 2: at one point it was hey, little buddy, and now

429
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: it's hey big boy. Well I would not offer this kid,

430
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: I will offer that kid, And so you.

431
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: Don't even know what's going to show up. Conversely, some

432
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: kids may have eaten.

433
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: They may have sat there and eaten themselves out of

434
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: house and home, and so what at one point would

435
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: have been a very promising interior kind of nose tackle

436
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: in a three to four, Well, now we can't even

437
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: get him in the door without turning him sideways. He's

438
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: a note. Take Now, you just got to get your

439
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: eyeballs on some guys. Camps are going to be imperative.

440
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: You got to see kids work out. You got to

441
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 2: get out on the road and see kids work out.

442
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 2: That's going to be important. Point number two is finding out,

443
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: basically which kids are still committable offers, Which kids that

444
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 2: previously weren't do we now think have grown into the

445
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: point where we can offer them a commitable spot. The

446
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: third thing, and this is where the rubber meets the road. Ultimately,

447
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 2: how many programs can lock up ninety percent of their

448
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: class before their season starts. Okay, now there are two

449
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: schools of thought right now. School of thought number one

450
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: is there's gonna be a wave of commitments immediately because

451
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: a bunch of kids are gonna get on campus for

452
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: the first time. They're gonna be thrust into an official

453
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: or an unofficial visit environment for the first time. It's

454
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: gonna be too much to handle. They're gonna see their

455
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: name on the marquee and boom boom, boom boom.

456
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: One after the other.

457
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 2: The dominoes are gonna fall and they're gonna commit that

458
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: school of thought number one. School of thought number two

459
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: is kids are gonna be primed and they're gonna be

460
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: blown away, and they're gonna have red carpets from coast

461
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: to coast, sea to Shining Sea rolled out for them. However,

462
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 2: they're gonna be adamant that they're gonna take all of

463
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 2: their visits and then before their sea and starts, before

464
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: their high school season starts, that's when they're gonna want

465
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: to commit. This is the more popular line of thinking.

466
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: Behind the scenes. A lot of staffers are feeling this way.

467
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 2: A lot of people in our industry. The feedback they're

468
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 2: getting leads them to believe that's probably how it's gonna

469
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 2: play out. I was talking to wil Fong before we

470
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 2: did the show, and I said, where do you fall

471
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: on this? He said, I think July is going to

472
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: be a huge commitment month. And so what's gonna happen

473
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: is you're gonna lot, well, You're gonna get a lot

474
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: of due diligence that's happening. You're gonna get a lot

475
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: of kids on campus. You're gonna get a lot of

476
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: staffs that get to do those in person evaluations. You're

477
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: gonna get to have kids visit four or five places

478
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: that they previously have only seen via zoom.

479
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: And then it's all gonna build to July.

480
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: And July is going to be unlike anything you've ever

481
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 2: seen for a different reason than June is unlike anything

482
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: you've ever seen.

483
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: July is going to roll around. Let me paint you

484
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: a picture.

485
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: There's going to be a countdown on your fridge and

486
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 2: you're gonna be counting down the days until college football

487
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: season starts.

488
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: Then media days are going to roll around. But all

489
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: the while, you're.

490
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: Gonna have a group of elite prospects wrapping up their third, fourth,

491
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 2: and then fifth official visit, and they're going to be

492
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: ready to make a commitment because they want to get

493
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 2: it out of the way before their senior year, and

494
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: coaching staff's at the Big Boy programs want to have

495
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 2: their classes locked up before they start the season, and

496
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: you're gonna have commit after commit after commit.

497
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: July is the month for fireworks this year. They will

498
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: be both literal and figurative in nature.

499
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 2: Colin, that's just a money sound bite that will be

500
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: on Twitter within the hour when we get done the show.

501
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: Let me compose myself.

502
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: I'm just you know, every every couple of weeks we

503
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: have a good SoundBite on the show, and it just

504
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: takes me by surprise.

505
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: When we have one. So I have to compose myself here.

506
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: But the if you want to, if you want to

507
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: have your jaw on the ground, go to the websites.

508
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: Go to Bama online dot com to pull one of

509
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: the Big Boys out of my pocket.

510
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 1: Go to Bama online dot com.

511
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 2: Check out the work that Hank South is doing over

512
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: there compiling the calendar for Alabama. I was just doing

513
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 2: a cursory glance at this a little while ago. Alabama

514
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 2: expects to have well over one hundred kids vs in June.

515
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: They'll have two or three dozen visit this week, and

516
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: some of them, in fact, a lot of them because

517
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: it's Alabama, have four stars and five stars next to

518
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 2: their name.

519
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: But it's not just twenty twenty two.

520
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: This is a massive week and month for twenty twenty

521
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: three kids, twenty four kids. I saw some twenty twenty

522
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: five kids out there. I had a quarterback by the way, Colin,

523
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: I had a quarterback for the class of twenty twenty eight.

524
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: Hit me up the other day, and I'm not quite

525
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: sure how to handle it. I don't even know what

526
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 2: the laws say about that. What are the Tennessee laws

527
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 2: about twenty twenty eight recruits?

528
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Does anyone know? I don't know. So

529
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: TBD on that one.

530
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: I haven't read the message yet, so he is none

531
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: the wiser, and I think it's already passed his bedtime,

532
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: so he's not up watching the show. The summer of

533
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: Scoop will continue, keep it locked into twenty four to

534
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: seven Sports dot Com. We're not done with the show.

535
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: We're just done with that particular segment. Remember Mood Tracker season.

536
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: It was about two months ago, it was before spring,

537
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 2: and we went up and down the list of about

538
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: thirty programs I think we ended up getting out of

539
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: the way. We couldn't do every program, but we did

540
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: most of the programs that. Yeah, well, to be honest

541
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 2: with you will get us the most traction, So the

542
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: ones you talk about the most, and we gave you

543
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: what the general mood of the fan base was. Well,

544
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: since then, all that's happened to spring practice. So you

545
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: would say, are you really updating a mood tracker? Yeah,

546
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 2: we got to do it. It's case by case, but

547
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: we got to do it. Here FSU mood Tracker, we

548
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 2: got to update it. It's a very unusual segment in

549
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: a very unusual time of the year, but there is

550
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: a very unusual energy shift happening in and around Tallahassee, Florida.

551
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: Nole's twenty four to seven dot com has been a

552
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: must visit destination today and really last night. Let me

553
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 2: take you through the past twelve to twenty four hours

554
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 2: over there. Okay, so I drive from Columbus to Nashville

555
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: last night. I get in about a was somewhere between

556
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 2: twelve and one o'clock AM Eastern time, and so I'm groggy,

557
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 2: but I want to check it out because I know

558
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: the dead period just lifted and I know FSU staff man,

559
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: They've been building and building and building, and I mean

560
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: it felt like a carnival was coming to town right

561
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: there in Tallahassee, on campus at Florida State. So I

562
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 2: go check the website, and I kid you not, I

563
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: was so proud.

564
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: It made me so happy. It was one o'clock on

565
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: the East coast.

566
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 2: It was the middle of June, well early June, and

567
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: over at OLS twenty four to seven dot com there

568
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: was a multi page deep thread that was being updated

569
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: boom boom boom, like that of recruiting updates.

570
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: How were their recruiting updates? At midnight? You ask?

571
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: And at one am you ask, well, because Mike Norvell

572
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 2: and his staff didn't even wait until the sun came up.

573
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 2: They had an army of kids that were essentially waiting

574
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: at the gates and there was someone counting down three

575
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: two one.

576
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: Let him in.

577
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: And then Florida State just had a massive recruiting event

578
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 2: right there. They had personalized golf carts. I think it

579
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: was great, but they had a lot of notoriety. Okay,

580
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 2: marketing is a big part of this, make no mistake.

581
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 2: I'm gonna circle back to that in a second.

582
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: So that happens.

583
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: I take notice, as does pretty much everyone else in

584
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 2: our business. And so I'm over there this morning and

585
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: I said, we can't let this go unnoticed because Florida

586
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 2: State was bad on the field last year. And so

587
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 2: an outside fan, if you're a Kansas State fan, you

588
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 2: don't know anything about Florida State, and you were to

589
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: just ask yourself, I wonder how Florida I wonder how

590
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 2: FSU fans think right now? How do they feel. You'd

591
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 2: probably think they're down in the dumps. You probably think

592
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 2: that they don't have much to look forward to, and then.

593
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: We do this segment, and I'm telling you you'd be wrong.

594
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: That's part of the reason we do this segment, to

595
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: give you kind of an on the ground view instead

596
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: of a fifty thousand foot view of fan bases. But

597
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: I go over there today and I ask the folks

598
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: at NOLES twenty four to seven, I got to do

599
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 2: a new mood tracker for you guys. It's become clear

600
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 2: we got to update the mood in Tallahassee. So let

601
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: me ask you as.

602
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: I often do.

603
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: I'll go to the message board and I'll say, fill

604
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: in this blank my current mood towards Florida State football

605
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 2: is and in solid noles twenty four to seven, fashion solid.

606
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 2: Forty percent of the answers were sexual obviously, can't use those.

607
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: There were some drug paraphernalia references. I'm gonna sweep those

608
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 2: to the side. But there were some really good responses here.

609
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: There was a Club Lavilla reference rest in peace if

610
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: you know, you know, but also cautious up optimism was

611
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: the floor. It was the worst response.

612
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: I got today. So again, let's reset the scene. Mike

613
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: Norvel comes in there. Last year, it's not a good

614
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: first year.

615
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: They get upset at home against Georgia Tech in week one.

616
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: Things never improve all that much, and you would think,

617
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: as an.

618
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: Outsider there's not a lot to be excited about there.

619
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: These people are jacked. They are stoked. Why well, Number one,

620
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: they have bought into a vision. That's the simplest part.

621
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 2: They've bought into a vision that the coaching staff is

622
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: selling more than the coaching staff in the second they

623
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: understand the current situation. I was on the On the

624
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: Bench podcast the other day with Brendan Sanon. We were

625
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 2: talking about their over under win total. Vegas put the

626
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: over under win total for FSU out this year at

627
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: five and a half. They don't expect a great year

628
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 2: for Florida State. The fan base did not come out

629
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: like some other fan bases and say.

630
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: This is disrespectful. How could they do this to us?

631
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 2: Hey, inside baseball or football as it were, don't ever

632
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 2: call anything Vegas puts out disrespectful. If it's really disrespectful,

633
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: shut up and go to the nearest betting window and

634
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 2: take advantage of it. That's how you take advantage of

635
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 2: a disrespectful point spread or team win total. Okay, now

636
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: I'm off that soap box and back on Florida State here.

637
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: So FSU fans did not do that, is my point.

638
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: They said, yeah, I think we can go over.

639
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: You know, there's optimism they can go over, but it's

640
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: not like they're expecting to contend for the ACC this year.

641
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: They want to take a solid forward step.

642
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 2: But what has them so excited is their coaching staff

643
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: is recruiting with their hair on fire right now and

644
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: they're taking it ultra seriously and they're all in on recruiting.

645
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 2: They have totally bought in and it's come from the

646
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 2: top and then it's trickled down, not just to the

647
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 2: staff and the support staff, but to the fan base too.

648
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: They're marketing the program properly. Here's the thing about marketing.

649
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: Everyone claims that they are for real about it. Everyone

650
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 2: claims they're serious about branding.

651
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: They're not. I can promise you they're not.

652
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: The Only time that a rebrand and a rebirth of

653
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 2: a program really works is if the head coach is

654
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: on board with it.

655
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: Mike Norvel is on board with this. That vision is

656
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: from the top down. Okay.

657
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 2: That's why everyone takes it seriously at Florida State, and

658
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: that's why it feels so authentic at Florida State. It

659
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: is you don't know if it's gonna work out. I

660
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: have no clue how it's ultimately gonna work out on

661
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: the field, nor do the fans there. And no one's

662
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 2: under the misguided notion that getting recruits on campus is

663
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: ultimately going to lead to multiple championships down the road.

664
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: It's a one step at a time process. Can we

665
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: all get that there's nothing wrong with being excited though,

666
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with getting jacked with seeing your coaching

667
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 2: staff all in and seeing them all over social media

668
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: and seeing them despite.

669
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: A very poor product on the field.

670
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: Able to convince a bunch of highly rated kids be

671
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: in Tallahassee, Florida at twelve oh one am on June first.

672
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: That's exciting, it's very exciting. But now they got to

673
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: get to work, and they have and you got to

674
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: swallow your pride a little bit. And that's the key

675
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: component here. This is not Colorado State football. This says

676
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: Florida State, one of the premier brands in this sport

677
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: for several decades. At this point, if you're seventy years

678
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: old and you're watching this show, you remain when Florida

679
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: State was nothing and you watched how they built their program.

680
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: But if you're.

681
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: Thirty five years old, you've only known a Florida State

682
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: that was a premiere national brand.

683
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: It's been down now.

684
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: Granted they've won a title in the last decade, but

685
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: for a little stretch here, it's been down. The best

686
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: thing Mike Norvell and his staff have done, let me rephrase,

687
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: because we did a little jump there, so I want

688
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: to be able to cut this later. The best thing

689
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: Mike Norvell and his staff have done is they walked in,

690
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 2: they looked around, did an honest assessment of the situation,

691
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: and they said, this roster's not where it needs to be,

692
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: the culture's not where it needs to be. And the

693
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: sad reality is we're going to have to market Florida

694
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: State because there's a generation of kids coincidentally, the ones

695
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: we want to recruit who do not view this brand

696
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: the way that we grown men may view the brand.

697
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: We know better, they don't. We got to teach them,

698
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: and we got to swallow our pride a little bit,

699
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: and we got to go sell Florida State. We may

700
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: not think we should have to, but the bottom line

701
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: is we do have to listen. Hopefully there's going to

702
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: come a day where you don't have to go sell

703
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: Florida State.

704
00:29:59,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: You got to.

705
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: You got to keep kids from beating down your door

706
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: trying to get in Florida State. Hey, that's the way

707
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: they do it at Alabama, now, at Clemson, now, at

708
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: Ohio State. It's not where Florida State is right now.

709
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: But the refreshing difference is they have swallowed their pride

710
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: and they are doing everything in their power with the

711
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: head coach on board, driving the bus in many cases

712
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: or the golf cart in selling Florida State. And that's

713
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: how you ultimately take that step. Y're one to year two,

714
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: year two to year three. I look at a bunch

715
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: of folks, and I've seen them all throughout the Twitter's

716
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: fear and elsewhere today sort of making fun of Florida State.

717
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,719
Speaker 1: What are you making fun of? I got news for you.

718
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: A lot of you, some of you in that state

719
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: would gladly trade places and have a coaching staff with

720
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 2: that kind of energy in your building. They hadn't put

721
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: the product on the field yet. They don't have the

722
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: results on the field yet, nor should they. No one

723
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: would have walked in year one and accomplished a whole

724
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 2: lot more than they did last year. But I'll tell

725
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: you this, and I'll tell you why I'm excited about

726
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: Florida State right now. The one question I had about

727
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: Norvelle when he came in was a recruit. I don't

728
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: doubt the guy's football acumen. I don't doubt his ability

729
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: to get on a grease board and draw me up

730
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 2: a game plan.

731
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't doubt that.

732
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: I doubted whether he was going to come from the

733
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: G five ranks at Memphis and dive into the recruiting

734
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: waters at Florida. They are very deep in that state

735
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: and go toe to toe and be able to be

736
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 2: able to speak.

737
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: That language and drive the speed you need to down there.

738
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: They are.

739
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 2: They are now you got to sign them because here's

740
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: the one word of caution. Okay, there's some caution tape

741
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: around this segment. This time last year allbe at different circumstances.

742
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: Tennessee was red hot, and ultimately it fizzled out a

743
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: little bit and that coaching stats no longer there. So again,

744
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: we're taking all this into proper context. Don't think we're not.

745
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: Everyone understands that getting kids on campus does not, in

746
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: and of itself conclude anything. It just takes a great, big,

747
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: giant step. Like if you've ever walked through your house

748
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: at night. You're trying to get to the fridge, trying

749
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: to eat something you're probably not supposed to be eating,

750
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: and it's dark. Can you don't turn the lights on.

751
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 2: You don't want anyone to know you're creeping around the house.

752
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: You take one step at the time, and if you

753
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: can get one of those big steps out of the way,

754
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: you're not to the fridge yet, but you probably just

755
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: took a big step over a bunch of legos on

756
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: the floor that would have befallen a lesser man. That's

757
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 2: what we're trying to do at Florida State. We're just

758
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: trying to take steps over the legos right now so

759
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: that we don't end up in the hospital and instead

760
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: we can compete for a championship one day. One day,

761
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit down the road, but one day.

762
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 2: Let's talk about some impact freshmen. To wrap it up here, I.

763
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: Just hope, look, look, okay, we can cut the colin

764
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: don't include this in the segment.

765
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: I just hope Florida State is back selfishly and a

766
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: lot of you who otherwise don't have a rooting interest here.

767
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: I've explained my concept here.

768
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: We'll probably talk about it later when yours Ohio State

769
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: quarterback from Texas commit from Texas had some interesting things

770
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: to say about this. If you are an otherwise non

771
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: biased observer of college football, you should root for Texas, Texas,

772
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: A and m Miami, Florida and Florida State to all

773
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: recruit at an elite level nationally. If you want to

774
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: see the sport balanced out, that's how you balance it out.

775
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: I've spoken spoken my piece about that several times at

776
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: this point.

777
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: But you know, Florida State's a part of that equation.

778
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: All right.

779
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about some impact freshmen. We've done two

780
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 2: parts to this already. There is no end in sight

781
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of impact freshmen to talk about

782
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: this year. Haven't spoken about Jason Marshall yet. That changes

783
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: right now. Big time corner prospect for Florida, number twenty

784
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: eight overall. So he was a five star kid, prototype

785
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: size man six' two point. EIGHTY a lot of times

786
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: you recruit him and you bring him in and you

787
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: have to develop him a couple of years before they

788
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: have the prototype.

789
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: Size Not Jason. Marshall he's just one you can go, say,

790
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: oh he looks like that in high?

791
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: School does He? Okay, well we got room for him In.

792
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: Gainesville he enrolled. Early he's a really good program.

793
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: Guy.

794
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: OKAY a lot of people speak very highly of, him

795
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: kind of the same way they did Like Pat sertan

796
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: when he came Into. Alabama he was a program, guy

797
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: not a guy you have to worry about it a whole.

798
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 2: Lot and also on top of, that he's got the

799
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 2: five star. Attributes he is a self. Starter it's a

800
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: lot of the good stuff that you hope to hear

801
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: about early enroll. Leagues, listen he could be the corner

802
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 2: Opposite elam this. Year he could start it nickel for.

803
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: Them he's going to be a. Player this is a

804
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 2: three and out type, player and so you want to

805
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: get as much out of him as early as you.

806
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 2: Can you cannot win without elite defensive back. TALENT i

807
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: know everyone focuses on wide. Receiver well guess what that.

808
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,600

809
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: to be able to match up with. Him and so

810
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: in this league, especially you look at What georgia, has

811
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 2: you WHAT lsu And alabama, Have you're gonna have to

812
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 2: match up with. Him you gotta have kids like. This

813
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: florida's had, him and they got another one here In Jason.

814
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: Marshall go all the way out to The west coast

815
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 2: a man by the name Of Corey.

816
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: FOREMAN i did not say boy or young. MAN i

817
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: just said flat up.

818
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 2: Man Corey foreman was the number one overall player in

819
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 2: the country this past recruiting, cycle and he committed TO

820
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: Usc that's.

821
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: Big he stayed.

822
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 2: Home this guy was at one time committed To. Clemson

823
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: he Had, Alabama, Georgia, oregon he had all these. PROGRAMS

824
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: lsu was in this, thing really really deep into, it

825
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 2: BUT usc keeps him at. Home this was a massive

826
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 2: win FOR, usc just purely in terms of. Optics it

827
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 2: was a massive. Win But foreman is a. Guy if

828
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 2: you know, anything and you listen to Our West coast

829
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: folks talk about, him he's very polished. Technically now he

830
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: has an elite blend of speed and size and, power

831
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: but he's not. Raw it's not a kid you would

832
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: look at and, say give him a year in a college.

833
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: Program he's a guy they think can come in and

834
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: play right now AT. Usc So i'd be surprised if

835
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: we did not see him as an impact player for

836
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: The trojans this. Year but also think about what this

837
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 2: would do FOR usc. Recruiting if they take the number

838
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: one kid In california and in the country and they

839
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 2: keep him in state and then he's on the field.

840
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: Early he's earned the right to be on the field,

841
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: early and he's showcased very early. On you get to

842
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 2: take that and you get to show it to a

843
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: bunch of other kids and, say, hey imagine a world

844
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: where it's once again cool to stay in state and

845
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: not go thirty five hundred miles away.

846
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: To play your college. Ball that could be. You It's Corey,

Speaker 1: forman it could be.

848
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: You so, again if you want to see a rise

849
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,920

870
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,440

871
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: talent and then number two be a complimentary piece this

872
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,960

878
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,719

Speaker 2: and pray that true freshman defensive talent was gonna work

880
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,000

00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: It and, ALSO i want to go To, Oxford. Mississippi Taiwan.

887
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: Malone any want to remember this name because we were

888
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: talking about him a lot during the recruiting, Process Taiwan

889
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 2: malone was a name on the radar Of Old, miss

890
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: where he eventually ended. UP a AND m was hot after.

891
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 2: HIM a lot of the big programs won A Taiwan.

892
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: Malone this is not some backup option that Chose Old

893
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: miss after other programs didn't have room for. HIM a

894
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 2: lot of folks were gonna make room For Taiwan. MALONE

895
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 2: i thought for a long time he was going to

896
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: go TO a AND, m and he ends up staying

897
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: With Old. Miss he's six four to three oh. Five

898
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 2: he's not a guy that you. Know they've got a

899
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 2: build old. Physically he's gonna be ready to play this.

900
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 2: Year now here's the interesting thing About Old. Miss they

901
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: return a couple of interior defensive, linemen but they were

902
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 2: terrible last. Year they sucked water through a garden, hose

903
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 2: and So malone's the kind of guy that's gonna probably come,

904
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 2: in albeit as a true, freshman and just be better

905
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: than the options they have there, now which would produce

906
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 2: a little thing called depth that they had none. Of

907
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 2: they didn't have frontline guys, defensively much less depth last

908
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 2: year In. Oxford but the coaches are not shy Like

909
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 2: partridge and his coaching staff over. There they weren't shy

910
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: at all talking about not Just, malone but they got

911
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 2: a couple of Other juco Guys, Isaiah aden And. Gordon

912
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 2: they got them out Of. Juco these are all defensive.

913
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: LINEMEN i want you to just think about something for a.

Speaker 2: malone come, in they live up to their. BILLING a

921
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: couple of Other juco defensive linemen they got from the

922

Speaker 2: portal OR i guess they came FROM i just transfer

923

925
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 2: they added if they pan.
