Maybe I would have helped 307 00:14:49,366 --> 00:14:51,566 Speaker 5: myself if I moved a little farther, but you know, 308 00:14:51,606 --> 00:14:54,166 Speaker 5: I tried to eliminate that by you know, being close 309 00:14:54,206 --> 00:14:57,566 Speaker 5: to family, But just that transition, I've almost felt like, 310 00:14:58,246 --> 00:15:01,246 Speaker 5: you know, it was more of a kid becoming an adult, 311 00:15:01,366 --> 00:15:03,886 Speaker 5: you know, thing you're on your own and and doing, 312 00:15:03,966 --> 00:15:06,166 Speaker 5: you know, what you do. But I just felt like 313 00:15:06,166 --> 00:15:07,846 Speaker 5: there was a lot of things being thrown at me 314 00:15:07,926 --> 00:15:11,766 Speaker 5: and just you know, expectations wise, you know, you question 315 00:15:11,886 --> 00:15:14,046 Speaker 5: yourself sometimes and it was just a hard time, you know, 316 00:15:14,126 --> 00:15:16,686 Speaker 5: making that transition. But you know, I look back at 317 00:15:16,726 --> 00:15:19,446 Speaker 5: everything that I went through, and I see it as 318 00:15:19,806 --> 00:15:22,566 Speaker 5: making me a better person. And you know, I try 319 00:15:22,566 --> 00:15:25,126 Speaker 5: not to view, you know, trial and error as a 320 00:15:25,166 --> 00:15:28,286 Speaker 5: bad thing, so you know, at the end of the day, 321 00:15:28,286 --> 00:15:29,646 Speaker 5: it'll only make you, you know better. 322 00:15:30,326 --> 00:15:35,486 Speaker 3: Well, the recruitment process that you had said, TCU offered 323 00:15:36,566 --> 00:15:40,726 Speaker 3: to you after they saw you working out, but no 324 00:15:40,926 --> 00:15:45,926 Speaker 3: love from Baylor or Texas until they saw there was 325 00:15:46,086 --> 00:15:48,046 Speaker 3: interest from TCU. 326 00:15:48,526 --> 00:15:49,446 Speaker 2: What's the deal there? 327 00:15:49,486 --> 00:15:51,526 Speaker 4: What happened? Man? 328 00:15:52,206 --> 00:15:55,166 Speaker 5: So I think I took a junior day visit to 329 00:15:55,326 --> 00:15:58,766 Speaker 5: Baylor and Texas and I'm not gonna say I was 330 00:15:58,766 --> 00:16:00,926 Speaker 5: expecting an offer, but at least. 331 00:16:01,006 --> 00:16:03,926 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you were kind of hoping, right stick 332 00:16:04,046 --> 00:16:06,206 Speaker 3: come yeah, come on. 333 00:16:06,646 --> 00:16:09,526 Speaker 5: But even the vibe that I got, you know, being there, 334 00:16:09,566 --> 00:16:11,686 Speaker 5: I kind of just felt like I was there. I 335 00:16:11,766 --> 00:16:14,046 Speaker 5: sort of felt like I was a little bit under recruited, 336 00:16:14,166 --> 00:16:16,326 Speaker 5: you know, coming out of high school. But you know, 337 00:16:16,326 --> 00:16:19,086 Speaker 5: I never really looked at it like that, but yeah, 338 00:16:19,126 --> 00:16:20,326 Speaker 5: I mean I just felt like I was there when 339 00:16:20,326 --> 00:16:23,606 Speaker 5: I was visiting those schools. And surely enough, you know, 340 00:16:23,646 --> 00:16:25,766 Speaker 5: I visited TCU and my family was with me, and 341 00:16:25,806 --> 00:16:27,886 Speaker 5: it just the environment you know, that we got from 342 00:16:27,886 --> 00:16:30,606 Speaker 5: there was just very family oriented.
