1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Last year, I had to be point guard for most

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: of the season. Obviously that Zoe, but she was a freshman,

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: so you know, sometimes she played the wings, sometimes she

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: come off the bench. But this year, now that she's

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: a sophomore and she has her freshman under her, but

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to the wing and I'm leaving it all

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: in her. So yeah, I score a little more, you

8
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So I think I'm gonna score.

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do whatever I do to get here. I'm

10
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: really displayed just that mentality switch that I can score

11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: when I want to, because people always tell me that

12
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: I can't. Ohn like, you could have went past her

13
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: if you wanted to, and I'm just like, I don't know,

14
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: I just rather pass it. But this year I'm excited

15
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: to explain that I've had a mental switch and yeah,

16
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to my spots whenever I want to.

17
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I like that. All right, We're coming out assertive, aggressive,

18
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: getting to your spots. I'm just time to see it.

19
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get there.

20
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: If it's not happening, you're gonna get a d M.

21
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: Say pull up the clip from the pod and say

00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,280

00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: number three recruit out of the country coming out of

27
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: high school, led NC State to the Final four for

00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: the first time in twenty six years. All acc first

29
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: team none other than NC State's fearless leader Sanaia Rivers.

30
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Wrapping on the pod for sure,

31
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: thanks for having me, so excited to have you. But

32
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: a quick icebreaker before we get into basketball talk. What

33
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: was the first concert that you ever went to?

34
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: And it's great? So Kaylannie just came to Raleigh. I

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: would have went, but I've never been to a concert.

36
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: Never right, never, Oh my god. Okay, so so what's

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: your dream first concert? Would it be Kaylani or somebody else?

38
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 3: I feel like Kaylannie, I would be overwhelmed for my

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: first concert. That's it. That's the first concert for me.

40
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: Maybe like maybe like a Chris Brown or Usher, but camelin.

41
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: Those wouldn't be overwhelming.

42
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: They will, but Kaylannie would be that eye contact. You

43
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.

44
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: You said got you, I got you. I've been to

45
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: a Kielana concert. Let me tell you, she be eyeballing

46
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: everybody in that crowd.

47
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.

48
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.

49
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: I'm scared. I don't know if I can go.

50
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 2: I'm not We'll have to get the Chris Brown or

51
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: usher one down to a t. I gotcha. Jumping into

52
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: the landscape of what's going on. Let's talk about your

53
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: summer starting off at Kelsey Plump's dog class. Talk about

54
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: that experience getting to play with her and play with

55
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: some of the toughest guards in the country. Now with

56
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: Nika Georgia KK, thelicious goes on and no, what was

57
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 2: that experience?

58
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: Like, it was not crazy getting the invite.

59
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: I think it was shortly after we played Notre Dame

60
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: and I had a terrible game. So I was just like,

61
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm getting inviody to this. Next you know,

62
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: I get an email, I'm just like, it's gonna be cool.

63
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: So before comes around and I'm like dead tired. I

64
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: was just like, I don't know if I want to go,

65
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: Like I don't really feel the men we had just lost,

66
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: and I had a conversation my sisters like you should

67
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: just go see what it's about, you know, because I

68
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: don't know who saw the video, but I didn't really

69
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: have aspirations to go on to the next level.

70
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: So I went to see if I really changed my mindset,

71
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 3: and it did. You know.

72
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: It was and all on the court. We did a

73
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: lot of off the court stuff, you know, stuff for

74
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: the mental stuff for the body recovery. Plotti's never done

75
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: pilotis in my life. So it was a really good experience.

76
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Kelsey's cool, down to earth, very genuine. She told me

77
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: when I was there that if she ever need anything

78
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: basketball related or not, hit her up, and she stayed

79
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: true to her word, you know, till this day.

80
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm super blessed that I went.

81
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: So, I mean, that sounds amazing to have somebody like

82
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: Kelsey Plump just be so personable, right like she's putting

83
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: on the camp and inviting you guys. But to have

84
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: those one on one connections that stretch beyond the camp

85
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: and the mindset that you have going in, What does

86
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: it do for your mental headspace? Getting the Dog of

87
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: a Class award, pushing you into this next season. It

88
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: was crazy.

89
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: I was shocked because, like you said, it was so

90
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: many big names, you know, Niqua George and KK.

91
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just like what I got it?

92
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: So it just it felt like a sign almost, you know,

93
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: I really I'm big on signs.

94
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: You know, everything happens for a reason. I felt like

95
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: I was there for a reason.

96
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: I felt like I was given and I earned, you know,

97
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: that bone for a reason.

98
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: And I wear it every day. The one time I

99
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: don't have it on, but as I.

100
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Say, where's it at? Got a flexibently care I'm.

101
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: Feeling naked right now. Nah, I feel very blessed. And

102
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: just to know that Kelsey, you know someone at the

103
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: next level where I now want to be present with

104
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: that ward, it's just even more motivated.

105
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 2: So I'm sure I think that's amazing to get something

106
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: like that from her and pushing you into now your

107
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: summer workouts, which I know are tough, and I bet

108
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: you guys are in twenty hour weeks now, which is

109
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: just a whole nother thing. But talk to me about

110
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: you know, the team coming off a tough Final four loss,

111
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: and what your summer focuses were, what you guys are

112
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: improving on as a team, just kind of the headspace

113
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: you guys are in moving into your senior season.

114
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, that loss was tough. I don't know the last

115
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: time about twenty. I don't know if I've ever.

116
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: Lost my twenty.

117
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: It was crazy, and obviously it was a team thing,

118
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: but seeing that that was the team I used to

119
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: play for, I think it just hurt a little more.

120
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: But going in the summer, I worked on a lot

121
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: of things, just me personally, trying to get my shot consistent,

122
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: pull up three pointer, attacking the basket, trying to be

123
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: verst out of three levels or team wise, who big

124
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: on conditioning?

125
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: We're on that track always.

126
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was terrible on that track at

127
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: seven am every morning running stadiums.

128
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: Oh no, we're track starts.

129
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 2: For real, Because why am I out on the track?

130
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: What am I doing out here?

131
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like that outside is for me,

132
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Like I'm sweating and places I shouldn't be sweating, like

133
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: it's too hot. It was crazy, crazy experience. But it's

134
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: twenty hours now and we feel every hour.

135
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: But it's beneficial.

136
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: We get up and down, we get to run our sets,

137
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: and it's just like games. He sets. I feel like

138
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: practices up just like games. We're getting up and down

139
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: going against the guys. Transition working on defense happened, so

140
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: pretty beneficial long though, for sure got.

141
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: You doing all the things. Three level score for you

142
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: coming in to NC State your sophomore year, six play

143
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: a year, had a great season. Last year felt like

144
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: even more of a breakout year. And it also like

145
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: you step more into a leadership role and so carrying

146
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: that into this upcoming senior season. What was that change like,

147
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 2: having to be more vocal, lead the team not only

148
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: on the court but in the locker room, creating all

149
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: those different connections. What was that like?

150
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'll wake up every day saying like I'm

151
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: really a senior now, Like, yes, it's crazy, crazy, it's ridiculous.

152
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: I just graduated high school like yesterday. But it just

153
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: means that I'm a senior now. And I feel like

154
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: it's the simple fact that I had to lead, Like

155
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: I have no choice. I'm a senior now, like the

156
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: freshman everybody looks up to me.

157
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: I've used to be more.

158
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: Of a what do you call it, like lead by

159
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: example type of player, but now I'm forced to kind

160
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: of take this vocal role. And I don't talk very much.

161
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm really nonchalant, laid back. I'm not shy, per se.

162
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: But you know, I speak when spoken to for the

163
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: most part. Yeah, so learning to speak just communicate how

164
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: you know, they like to be talked to. Everybody's not

165
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: the same. You can't talk to everyone the same. So

166
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: just learning the way they're learning styles and all of that.

167
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: And I think, I think I'm doing a pretty good job.

168
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: So just got to keep you know, for perfection, even

169
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: though I never get there. But I'm sure you are

170
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: doing a great job.

171
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: I think what you talked about, it's so key understanding, Like,

172
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: you know, some players you can yell out and then

173
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: you guys are gonna go back and forth and you

174
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: keep it pushing. Some players you can't do that, and

175
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: that's okay, but you have to learn how to get

176
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: the best out of them, and then vice versa. They're

177
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: going to learn that about you as well. I think

178
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: that's such a nuance that's really hard to pick up

179
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: on because I remember, like, you know, I want to

180
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: yell with somebody word in the key of the game whatever,

181
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: and then it's like, oh, sorry, girl, let's relax. My bad.

182
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: You gotta figure it out.

183
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, but sometimes even with like coaches like coach

184
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: Moor all the time, like coach more like, I'm going

185
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: to get frustrated you yelling at me, but knowing that

186
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: he's coach that's so passionate, I can't always expect him to,

187
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, meet me here. Sometimes I might just have Okay, coach,

188
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: like I got you, because you have to respect each

189
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: other's you know, he's been doing this for years.

190
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: I've been this way for you. Sometimes it's got.

191
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: To meet in the middle, for sure. Yeah, there's definitely

192
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: take with it. You can't always situate, especially with coaches

193
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 2: at the head of the game. I'm like, Okay, relax,

194
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: But looking into the seasons coming up pretty soon, you

195
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: guys have a really tough non conference schedule South Carolina, TCU,

196
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: LSU all missed. The list goes on, but specifically, how

197
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: are we feeling about that South Carolina rematch? Are we

198
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: hyped up? Excited? What are the vibes?

199
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: I'm excited. I can't speak on bad everybody else. I'm lit.

200
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: I'm excited season for sure.

201
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: Win THEOS with draw.

202
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: I just want to have a personally a better performance

203
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: than I did when I play against him the final four.

204
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: But it's exciting. I still love those girls and death

205
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: in South Carolina's also family match. You know, he'll be

206
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: for anything like that. So I'm excited playing Charlotte. You know,

207
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: it's still North Carolina for me, so I have a

208
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: lot of family there. Yeah, it's gonna be a fun one.

209
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure to be very frustrating at points.

210
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

211
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: Basketball is the game of scoring, So we're gonna go

212
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: back and forth. As long as we stand in the game,

213
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: we'll be straight.

214
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like it's gonna be a very highly

215
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 2: competitive game. Like it's not gonna be a blow ut situation.

216
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be back and forth. I'm excited

217
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: to see how the two guys battle. And I mean,

218
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: you got LSU TCU reloaded this year, oh miss. Everybody

219
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: really did. And I feel like a lot of the

220
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: conference shakeups are crazy seeing like even for me seeing

221
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: packed fell teams with ACC Big twelve, I'm like, what

222
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: is going on? It's so weird, and so for you

223
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 2: in the a CC bringing teams like Stanford, cal s,

224
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: m U, all the other conferences are going through their

225
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: own things. Do you feel like there's gonna be kind

226
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: of a time where they're going to to adapt their

227
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: playing style or how those different things are gonna mesh.

228
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: So I've always said that I feel like the ACC

229
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: is more guard heavy and SEC is a little more

230
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: post dominant. Yea, so we obviously got to taste to Stanford,

231
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: you know, was it sweet sixteen?

232
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 3: We got to taste to them. So sorry, sorry, you.

233
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: Know, it's fine. We can move past its best.

234
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: Playing against them, Like Kiki, like she's tough, she's big,

235
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: Like in ACC, you don't really see height like that

236
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: except for Virginia Tech, you know. Yeah, sorry, but like

237
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: she's huge and like you really don't see that in ACC.

238
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: So just with Stanford, it's just like, bro, they're huge,

239
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know who they picked up this year.

240
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: But now that Kiki's going, do you guys, do you

241
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: know if they have any real.

242
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: Height coming back?

243
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 2: Not as much length with Keiki and Cam last year

244
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: that was insane with the two of them, But basically

245
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: they always have a little bit of leg, but not

246
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 2: the two of them last year was wild.

247
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: Listen, you're telling me, I was watching all my teammates block.

248
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: I didn't get a block me personal, they didn't give me,

249
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: but I was watching. I was I hate to need

250
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: them right now, Like yeah, nah, but I said that

251
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing, just you know, their post dominance,

252
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 1: their presence down there. So that's definitely something we have

253
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: to work on because we're we're a smaller team and

254
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: are bigger ones. They're a little younger, so we just

255
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: got to geg We'll figure it out.

256
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, figure it out, you always do, sure. Yeah. Okay,

257
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: So besides the South Carolina game being circled on the calendar,

258
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: as we know, gonna be big, gonna be huge in

259
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 2: North Carolina, what's a conference game that you're really looking

260
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: forward to that you think is going to be high energy,

261
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: just great basketball.

262
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 3: I just want to say our hometown rivals is Carolina.

263
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: So that's always like the biggest matchup that everybody's looking

264
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: forward to. So I'm going to say Carolina. It's actually

265
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: at Carolina. We have the met in Carolina at Carolina

266
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: in I think two years, so I'm actually glad we

267
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: played them at Carolina.

268
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, And how far is that drive between Riley

269
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: and on a bus? I want to say forty minutes,

270
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 2: but oh my god, it's that close. It's close forty minutes.

271
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: Oh dang, y'all whipping over there like right before game

272
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: time for real for sure.

273
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: We actually knew our shoot around right before the game.

274
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: We do our shoot around, get on the bus and

275
00:11:59,200 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: then warm up.

276
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 2: And play Wow. Okay, wow, that's crazy. Then you're out

277
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: of there, back to your dorms. You're chilling. That's a

278
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: quick trip.

279
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: And that the night on chap Hills Campus.

280
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: Sorry all the shame, that's a rivalry game, how about you?

281
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: It's fine whatever? All right? Well, talking about you know

282
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: the guard play in the ACC. I want to get

283
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: your kind of inside on the scattering report, but I'll

284
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: giving away too much of Coach more secrets and all

285
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: the great things that you guys do. But a player

286
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: like Tonight allowed to know Florida State, talk to me

287
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: about what makes her such a hard scout year in

288
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: and year out.

289
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: I always feel like Coach More gets so frustrated right

290
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: before we play Florida State because Tonight, like he emphasizes

291
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: the same play like not trying to give the way.

292
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: But everybody knows what she likes to do.

293
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: She's gonna throw it to the key and she's gonna

294
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: cut back door looking for a lab or either She's

295
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: just gonna attack the right side, he says all the time.

296
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: Take away her right hand. Take away her right hand,

297
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: and sometimes we do it, sometimes we don't. He's there

298
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: just losing hair every time we let her right thing

299
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: with tonight. Like she's so versatile, she has that dog

300
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: entire She's gonna get to the basket. She's gonna get

301
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: her pull up, whatever it is. Even if we take

302
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: it away, she's gonna.

303
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: Get to her.

304
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: So I feel like for her, it's like not letting

305
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: her catch. Don't let her catch. With the balls in

306
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: their hands, she can't score. So I feel like that's

307
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: what we're gonna focus on this year for sure.

308
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like that's frustrating as a coach, but

309
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 2: also as a player. It's like, Okay, I understand the tendencies,

310
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: but when somebody's that talented, I can't do it every

311
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: single time. They're gonna get to some of their spots.

312
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: It's really just making it difficult and making them do

313
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: it with more dribbles than they want to be less

314
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 2: efficient with it. So you know what, you's got to

315
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: understand that. I understand you're gonna lose hair. I get

316
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: it was on the scout, but like, give me a break.

317
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 2: Every time she scores.

318
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: We could play the best defense of our life and

319
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: it's not gonna matter.

320
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, been there, It's fine for sure. Another great guard

321
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: in the ACC who had a great freshman season last year,

322
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: hand had all gone, and now they got Olivia Miles

323
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: backcourt as well. What is it going to be like,

324
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys got your own backcard too, y'all

325
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 2: that I'm match up, It's gonna be really excited to

326
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: see it. And so moving into that scout, you know,

327
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: what are your focuses with those two? Hannah, She's just

328
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: so tough.

329
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: She brings more than just her basketball, Like she's bringing

330
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: their energy, Like she's an energy player for sure, Like

331
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: she gets on my nerves.

332
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: But I have so much respect for.

333
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: Like she's on the ball clapping, you know, getting your

334
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: face lit, and it's just like, man, I got respect

335
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: for the kid. But yeah, going against her own offense,

336
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: like she's such a you know, she's a dog one dy.

337
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: So I love her game. I think she had an

338
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: amazing freshman year, and I'm expecting more from her her

339
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: sophomore year. As like you said, o, Libya coming back

340
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: and play the same position. So I'm interested to see,

341
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, yeah.

342
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: How that works.

343
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm interested and I don't want it to go

344
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: good against US at least, but.

345
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: I think they're going to be really good together. So

346
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see.

347
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they'll have a good balance, but you know,

348
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: against y'all just be really disruptive all the things, very

349
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: rough time during your game. Of course, I played.

350
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: It's Olivia plenty of times, like since AAU ball, So

351
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm definitely excited to see. She's a versus player and

352
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: she's going to get to the Cup. She's a three

353
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: level score, so I just think, same, what tonight, Let's

354
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: try to keep do our best and keep it out

355
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: of her hands and we'll see how it goes.

356
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm really excited. Olivia is so

357
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: shifty too. I remember seeing her when I first saw

358
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: her USA trials and I was like, okay, goggles and

359
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: I was with friend. I was like, oh gosh, planned

360
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: and then I was like, okay, how's she gonna be.

361
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: She got out for just dogging people. I was like,

362
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: oh my god, who are you? She is so tough.

363
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: It's smooth, like yeah, she's.

364
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: Going in slow motion almost like I don't get it,

365
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: but it is.

366
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, So now bring the focus back onto you. I

367
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: want to talk about your early hoops journey. So North

368
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: Carolina kid who put the ball in your hands. I

369
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: heard that you played with boys growing up, always a hooper,

370
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: but how did you kind of get started?

371
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: Basketball is definitely in the blood.

372
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: My mom played, that, dad playing in college, My sister

373
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: played the n C State. My brother played for like

374
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: a year or two in college. Been that's too crazy, Okay,

375
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: I say it's in the blood my grand life and play.

376
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: So I feel like it was just something that was

377
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: passed down. Really. I think I got my.

378
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: First mini hoop when I was like two years old,

379
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, had inside the house. I was shooting on

380
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: the goal or whatever. And as I grew older, you know,

381
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: I tried off for the middle school team, ended up

382
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: being really good to talking to the city. Then I

383
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: finally found out about AAU ball. There wasn't really much

384
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: going on in Willmington, so travel to Riley every weekend

385
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: to play for the best team in the state. The

386
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: Carolina Flames ended up getting all the offers and it

387
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: was just crazy. And when I got my first offer,

388
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: I just knew basketball was for me and that I

389
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: wanted to play collegiate basketball. So I feel like that's

390
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: how it got started.

391
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: Oh I love that born Hooper. Yeah, I feel like

392
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: I was the same way it ran in the family.

393
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: You just kind of grow doing it and when people

394
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: ask you, it's like it was just always there. It's

395
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: like in innate thing, it's just what you do. Talk

396
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: about your AAU journey a little bit. Obviously you were

397
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: a Hooper started getting recruited very young, but I feel

398
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: like your class was one of the first few when

399
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: overtime started popping off, y'all were all over social media,

400
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: all the hype. You guys had a lot of really

401
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: good players, and so are there funny top competition at

402
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: Nike Nationals or things like that.

403
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: I will say my favorite tournament to play in in

404
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 1: AU was bo Woods, Like, oh, just walking in seeing

405
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: all the courts and then the coaches just lined up on.

406
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: Ye around the crack oh weirdness walking around.

407
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: I just felt like I was that girl. You know

408
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: what I'm saying This we call team on toll and

409
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: stuff like. It was just amazing. I feel like that

410
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: was my favorite. But as far as matchups or games,

411
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: I can't really remember teams for a lot. I just

412
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: remember they were always competitive and like we were always

413
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: in the on the best courts, like because the coaches.

414
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: I can't really remember though, but yeah, yeah, it was

415
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: long ago.

416
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: I feel like Williams is such a cool tournament because

417
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: it's nowhere else is set up like that, where it's

418
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: just like the coaches walking around the track like a

419
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 2: revolving door. And I remember like during warm ups, people

420
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: are shuffling in and out and it's like, okay, boom,

421
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: you missed a shot, and like some coaches keeps walking.

422
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, I'm back. I'm like, I swear,

423
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: I swear it were stressing me out walking around. I'm like, no,

424
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: sit and stay, grab a seat.

425
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: And then they make no facial expressions because they're exciting

426
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: their disappointment. It's just like do you do you like me?

427
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 3: Are you gonna offer me or not?

428
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: For real? For real? I hearted that. I'm like, why

429
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: did all y'all have a poker face for no reason

430
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 2: right now? Like something something?

431
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 3: Then they just writing on that notebook, typing on that phone.

00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: I'm just like, what are y'all think you?

433
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: No, I don't like I did not like that. Whenever

434
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: I so that I'm looking around trying to read everyone's faces.

435
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, so, what are the vibes guys to me? Yeah,

436
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: the coaches always stressed me out during recruiting trips. Like

437
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: it was just it was a lot.

438
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 3: It was overwhelming.

439
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was overwhelming. But speaking of your recruiting, talk

440
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: about getting recruited very young. I heard Don recruited you

441
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: pretty early on Don recruited me too. She's amazing and

442
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: so what was that experience, like, you know, getting to

443
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: be recruited by down South Carolina, all of those things

444
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: what led into your decision to choose them out of

445
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: high school originally?

446
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: Don, Like you said, she's amazing, Like, I'm still cool

447
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: with her to this day. I text her every birthday.

448
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: She texted when I have a good game. We talked

449
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: before we played each other Final four. You, like, I've

450
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: heard to death if she goes to the WNBA, would

451
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: love to play for it, hands down.

452
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: But the first of all chances from high school to

453
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: college is crazy.

454
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: And high school to college, You're going to high school

455
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: to play for Dawn at the University of South Carolina. Like, yeah,

456
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: it was a woman a lot, and everybody hyped it

457
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: up because obviously they were coming fresh off of championships,

458
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: and I knew I wanted to be a part of,

459
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, a winning team and play under a winning coach.

460
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: But it was just a lot of freshman year.

461
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: It was a lot to take on, trying to figure

462
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: out how to balance athletics and academics, you know, time

463
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: management all that. So it was just basketball for me.

464
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: You know, freshman year is trying to get adjusted. But

465
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: don's great. I remember my freshman year, I was like

466
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: airball and all of my threes, you know, breaking all

467
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: my threes. It was embarrassing because I was like man

468
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: in high school, I was like Caitlin Clark.

469
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, you know.

470
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: So I feel like it was just a big confidence drop.

471
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: But she always told me to keep shooting. She never

472
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: suted me out for airball in the three, she never

473
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: set me out for missing the layup whatever. I appreciate

474
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: her for that. I appreciate her.

475
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: For a lot. She taught me a lot.

476
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: But you know, I had had to part separate ways,

477
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, to find my happiness, and I definitely feel

478
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: like I'm definitely, you know, happier now. And obviously it

479
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: was worth it because we made it back to the

480
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: fun Before I got to see him again. We didn't

481
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: beat them, okay, because I told don I text, I

482
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: told her beginning to see we were going to be

483
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: there with him, and we were there, and you know,

484
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: we'll see him again in a month or summer Charlotte.

485
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: So it all worked out for the best.

486
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm so happy to hear that, because I feel

487
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 2: like a lot of times the transporport will get to

488
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: bad rep and I don't always agree with it because

489
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: I think a lot of times it's more than basketball.

490
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just not the right fit. It's a holistic

491
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: experience thing, whatever, mental health reasons, whatever it is. I

492
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: think that a lot of people leave for the right

493
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: reasons just because they think they'll be better off holistically

494
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 2: somewhere else, And so I think a lot of people

495
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: always have these misconceptions about it where I'm like, it's

496
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: just not always right fit. Also, like you're making a

497
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: decision when you're sixteen to go to college, like you

498
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: don't know what you're going to be like two years later,

499
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: how the things are going to be, And we're like,

500
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. You're so young when you make those

501
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: choices to pick where you want to go, and it's

502
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: such a big decision, and so yeah, I think it's

503
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: a lot. So I think it's a great sign of

504
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: strength when other people realize that it's just isn't the

505
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 2: place for me, and it's it's hard, especially for you

506
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 2: being a top recruit, all these different things, all the

507
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: pressures that come along with that, and so I think

508
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: that's something that just shows incredible strength to leave. So

509
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 2: I'm very happy for you that you found your place

510
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 2: where you're thriving.

511
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you mentioned that.

512
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: I definitely think people overlook that I probably got more

513
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: hate than I did love. I'm not going to yeah,

514
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: but like I'm sure, yeah it was crazy because like

515
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: what you got to ring and just dip like are

516
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: you crazy? Like you are you out of your mind?

517
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: Like there is the loyalty all of that, Like oh

518
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: she left cause she didn't get playing time. It's just

519
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: like y'all forgot. I'm a human being, you know what

520
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm sactly never had to do with playing time. My

521
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: mental health was it just was suffering. I was not here,

522
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, I had never had bad grades in my life.

523
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't doing as well academically like I wanted to.

524
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: I was just struggling to find my happiness, found my piece.

525
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: It was not there. It had nothing to do with

526
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: the program itself. It had nothing to do with done,

527
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: it had nothing to do with the players. There was skill,

528
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: there was plenty of skill there. I felt like I

529
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: could have grown there, but you know, it just wasn't

530
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: for me. I feel like I would have struggled more

531
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: if I stayed versus leaving.

532
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: So I'm mentioned strength because.

533
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: It did take a lot of strength to leave Don

534
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: and the game Cocks.

535
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 3: Sometimes that's what you have to do, so, you know,

536
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 3: make me so happy.

537
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: So it's hard, Like you said, like you're still close

538
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: with Don, love the girls, all the things. There's nothing

539
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: like that. So you move on to NC State, transferring

540
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: a kind of home, not home, but kind of home.

541
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 2: That far state didn't feel like freshman year all over again,

542
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: kind of like new school, new classes, new people, or

543
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: did you kind of feel like it was more of

544
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 2: a seedless transition.

545
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: It was definitely a transition, just because anytime you go

546
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: from one place to another it's going to be different.

547
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: But as far as feeling like a freshman all over again,

548
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't really think I got those vibes. I was

549
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: a little more comfortable. I was like, Okay, I've experienced

550
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: college before, not this college. But you know, I kind

551
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: of got the bube down.

552
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

553
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 1: Now I know how to manage my time better. Now

554
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm doing better in the classroom. Now I'm doing this,

555
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: doing that.

556
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 2: So it was it was a little easier.

557
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: Basketball just kind of came, you know, because I was

558
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: more comfortable, I was happier. So yeah, I wouldn't say

559
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: I felt like a freshman, but I wish that I

560
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 1: could do it all over again. And also when I

561
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: got here, I said, I want to give these freshmen

562
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: to experience their lives. And it's just like they got

563
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: here and I got it. Like you said, I got

564
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: to lead them to a final four. You know what

565
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: freshman can you really ask? Like, made it to a

566
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: final four? You know what I'm saying. A lot don't

567
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: get the experience that in college at all. So I

568
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: was just happy to be a leader and be able

569
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: to lead you know, my freshman team to a final four.

570
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, no, I think that's so special. And

571
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: just talking about moving to Anti State, home State, all

572
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: those things again, what led into your decision to choose

573
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: Anti State? Was it going home was it the staff,

574
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 2: the girls? What about it made you want to go there?

575
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: Looking at that second go around, because it wasn't even

576
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: just North Carolina schools I was looking at. I looked

577
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: at Tennessee, I looked at LS, you know, I looked

578
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: all over. But North Carolina was really speaking to me.

579
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: After a month or so with thinking, I knew I

580
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: wanted to be back home. Like you said, I'm not

581
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: exactly home, but I'm two hours away. Yeah, i'd be

582
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: lying up, I said, I didn't miss my family closer now,

583
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: so I get to go home, stick off for them,

584
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: home cooked meals every now and again.

585
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 3: If I just need a hug for my family, I

586
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: get to get that now.

587
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

588
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of benefits, a lot of

589
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: pros that go into my decision to come in here. Ultimately,

590
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: I will say that it was family. I wanted my

591
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: family to be able to see me play as much

592
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: as I could, especially because in the WNBA there's no

593
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: North Carolina team yet yet never know, you never know.

594
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: Hopefully they'll put one in Charlotte soon. But yeah, I

595
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: just wanted them to get, you know, all the experience

596
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: they could seeing me, you know, in person.

597
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: So I get that. I went to schooling our way

598
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 2: from home. I got grandparents with season tickets, they up

599
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 2: at the games. It's such a special feeling to get

600
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: to have all of them there. And so when you

601
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: got to play in front of the home crowd, winning

602
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 2: ACC six Player of the Year, all those things, what

603
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: did that do for you? Just like, I don't know,

604
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 2: almost just feeling like, you know, it was the right choice,

605
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: all those things coming together. How do you think that

606
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: season really impacted you moving forward into that amazing junior

607
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 2: year that you had.

608
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: I just feel like I proved a lot of people wrong,

609
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, getting that award, you know, just having a

610
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, better season than I did my freshman I

611
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: always tell myself, people always ask what's my goals going

612
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: into next season? I just say to be better than

613
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: I was the last. So I felt like freshman. Sophomore

614
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: year I grew. I feel like sophomore in the junior year,

615
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: I grew. So I don't know, that's always my mindset.

616
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know.

617
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to grow

618
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: this year.

619
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: I got to do a lot of growing, especially if

620
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to go to the w so I got

621
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: to figure that out.

622
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 3: But getting six many years an incredible honor.

623
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: I didn't expect to get it, But you know, I

624
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: still have the trophy, So.

625
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: I'm appreciate it, appreciate you, appreciate you. Moving into your

626
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 2: junior season, you came out fifteen and oh big win

627
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: against the Ukon. I remember being on the edge of

628
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: my couch yell a TV. That game was crazy. You

629
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: had to be there. Oh my god, I was. But

630
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: so you guys come out big. What do you feel

631
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: we talked about like the growth from freshman and sophomore year,

632
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: sophomore and junior. What do you feel like last summer

633
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 2: you really focused on that, you felt an immediate improvement

634
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: on in your junior season.

635
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: That game was crazy, Like thirty three points. I've never

636
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: scored that much in college before in my life.

637
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: You were hot, dude. You were not missing.

638
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: I was spelling it from the first jumper. I was

639
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: spelling it. I may spell. I got to figure out

640
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: how to get that dog mentality back. But what did

641
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: I like? I said, I just been trying to work

642
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: on staying consistent, trying to make sure I keep my

643
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: marginal ror slim.

644
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm a persatile player.

645
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: So not only am I trying to focus on being

646
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: a three level score, I'm also trying to make sure

647
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: I focus on, you know, the other side of the ball,

648
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: making sure that I can stop small players, bigger players,

649
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. Because since I'm taller, you know,

650
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: I can go to the four spot. I'm not being

651
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: with those spots unless it's a small one. But that's

652
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: what we got to line.

653
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got it, you got it.

654
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: But I struggle the most guarding players shorter than me

655
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: because they're just so fast and so shifty and I'm

656
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: just so long, So I feel like I'm a step

657
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: behind all the time. But I say, that's definitely my

658
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 1: focus because in the league, you never know what your

659
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: role is going to be. Everybody's role is in the score.

660
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: Some people are strictly out there just to play defense.

661
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: You know, you just just never know. So trying to

662
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: make sure I got everything down packed so that you

663
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: know I can play some role.

664
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think a big thing that just I saw

665
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: from your growth is just when you talked about like

666
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 2: that efficiency, like you're able to get to all your

667
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 2: spots quicker. And I think especially in that Yukon game,

668
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 2: it was just like, oh, boom, one, move on, I'm by,

669
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: And if they were there, it wasn't like, oh I'm thinking,

670
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: I'm thinking you made the right play every time, even

671
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: though you were hot, having thirty three points, doing all

672
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 2: the things like it's still moving the ball, Okay, I'm

673
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: being doubled. Let me swing it whatever it may be.

674
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: And so I feel like that's a thing that really

675
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 2: comes with maturity. And I'm really excited to see your

676
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 2: senior season having everything that came last year, this huge

677
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 2: breakout year and just even like honing in on it more,

678
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: which I think is going to be amazing. But talking

679
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: about this season NCA tournament run taking down Chattanooga, Tennessee, Stanford,

680
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: whatever Texas serious seems to take down, what do you

681
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: feel like was really like allowing that flow for you guys,

682
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: because you guys were moving with pace like it was crisp.

683
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: Everything looked really sharp.

684
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: I just feel like we were playing unselfish. I felt like

685
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: we were playing free. We're just having a good time.

686
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: Nobody expected us to be there. Coach called us the

687
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: party crashes. We didn't invite it that tournament. You know,

688
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: we were just there and we you know, we proved

689
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people wrong.

690
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: It was crazy.

691
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: I feel like a Zion had a great season. She

692
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: definitely had a great tournament. Without her, can't say that

693
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: we would have been on the final four run, but

694
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: she definitely did tremendous I think she hit like eight

695
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: threes against Texas, probably had a smooth at least a

696
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: twenty piece of every game, oh.

697
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: For sure, for easily.

698
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just excited to play with a player like

699
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: that because, like I said, I'm just an all around player.

700
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't have to score. So when I see my

701
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: teammates that are willing to score, willing to attack, willn't

702
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: do anything to put the ball in the bucket, that

703
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: makes my job a whole lot easier, you know, Like

704
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: I feel.

705
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 2: Was past the right So yeah, no problem, you.

706
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: Haven't got it, you know. So yeah, I said that

707
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: that was She was definitely a big reason we got to.

708
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: Where we were. So yeah, well, I mean she was

709
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: a big piece. And talking about that Texas game, what

710
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: was the mindset in the locker room understanding that they're

711
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: number one seed? Right? And I remember watching that viral

712
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: that you had with your dad after the game was

713
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: so specials all the things, But heading into the game,

714
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: what is it like like facing a number one seed

715
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: their favorite. You talk about being the party crashers. How

716
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: do you guys enter a game like that.

717
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: We were used to being the underdog all year, So really,

718
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that we brushed it off

719
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: or anything, because we did and we knew it was

720
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: an Elite eight game and they were there for a reason,

721
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: but we knew we were here for therefore a reason

722
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: as well. So I feel like, you know, we just

723
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: went out there and left it all on the court

724
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: and obviously ended up being in our favorite.

725
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: I think relied on our scout. We relied on.

726
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: Our preparation, prepared very hard for that game. Definitely on defense, rebound.

727
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: They had to focus on rebound and they had a

728
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: lot of strong crashes in there, so I think we

729
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: had to put emphasis on boxing out, not giving them

730
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: any second chance opportunities, and I think we did a

731
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: pretty good job.

732
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 3: Obviously it was enough to get the wins.

733
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, that pushed you guys into the Final four,

734
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: which was NC State's first in twenty six years. And

735
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: so just talking about you got to experience a Final

736
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: Four on two different team games, right South Carolina, who's

737
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: been a premier team in recent years, and NC State

738
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: who's always kind of been there but never jumped that hump,

739
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: and so being a part of creating that final four culture.

740
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: Did you feel a difference between the different final fours

741
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: that you got to be a part of.

742
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: Definitely, there were a lot of different I actually felt

743
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 1: like I was a part of that final game.

744
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: Obviously.

745
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: I think if I recall Final four, I actually played

746
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: pretty good minutes. I think, if I'm trying to think back,

747
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: I feel like we played Louisville in the final for

748
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: my freshman year, I think, and I'm pretty sure I

749
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: got some solid minutes in there. But obviously Final four,

750
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: I probably played the whole game up until maybe the

751
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: last two minutes when I was on the sideline crying

752
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: my little heart out because I knew the game was

753
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: up there. But that was the difference of the fact

754
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: that I felt like I was there. I felt like

755
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: I had some type of impact. That was the difference

756
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: for me.

757
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: So it's a difference where you know you're a part

758
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: of the team, but it's different being on the court

759
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: being the the difference makers in the game. It for

760
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 2: sure feels different, and I bet just beating Texas. How

761
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: amazing that was to like get Coach More to the

762
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: final four, finally get him over that hump. What was

763
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: that like to you know, kind of do that for

764
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: that staff that's been there for so long, working together

765
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: to reach their goals for so long.

766
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we were requiring like some babies, rightfully. So yeah,

767
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: my dad was on the court, my family was there.

768
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: Like it was just amazing because obviously my parents had

769
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: experienced that before my my fresh year. But obviously I

770
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: wasn't the happiest, but them seeing that genuine smile on

771
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: my face, you know, seeing that he made it back

772
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: to the same place where my fresh year, it was

773
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: just amazing, and back to Coach More, like he worked

774
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: so hard on his preparation, Like he's been doing this

775
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: longer than most of his team has been alive. So

776
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just saying he's getting up, but he

777
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 1: still has it. He still has that fire and passion,

778
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: And I'm blessed to play for a man that you know,

779
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: has so much love and passion for the game. Man,

780
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: he definitely deserves everyone that he has. He deserves his flowers,

781
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: and I'm definitely glad he gave me a second chance

782
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: to be here because he always jokes and said I

783
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: should have came the first go round. Yeah, and hopefully,

784
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, we can get him there again and hopefully

785
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: for the first time getting to a championship.

786
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's the goal. Well, talking about Coach Moore,

787
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: talk to me about the impact that he's had on you,

788
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: not only growing as a player and all the different

789
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: things that you've out of your game, but also just

790
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: as a person and the impact that he's had on

791
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: you in your life.

792
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: Definitely from day one, Coach Moore has always emphasized that

793
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: we can knock on his door. You know, it does

794
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: not have to do anything with basketball, just life, you know,

795
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: kicking us down, Come knock on his door, talk to him.

796
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: He's a really cool guy, very funny, very sarcastic. You know,

797
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: he's a cool guy. Genuine He hasn't overd his house

798
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: like maybe two or three times a year. His wife

799
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: cooks us some dinner. We sit around a dining table,

800
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: we watch some games, we even play games.

801
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 3: This is a good vibe. He definitely makes sure that

802
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 3: we get our rest.

803
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: You want meet another coach in the country that gives

804
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: you by six days off for Christmas, so we use

805
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: all those that six days please.

806
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, he gave us.

807
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: Six days and you know, during the season, he'll give

808
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: us random days off just because he knows our bodies

809
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: and our minds are just you know, wearing down on

810
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: this because season it's a lot, it's overwhelming on the

811
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: body and the mental. So he makes sure to really

812
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: look out for our mental health. So I appreciate it

813
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: for it.

814
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's amazing. I think understanding because there's times

815
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 2: this season, even if you're winning, you're exhausted, like maybe

816
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 2: not physically, but just like it wears on you that

817
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 2: overall fatigue. So I think a coach that understands that

818
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: it kind of leads to the longevity. Why you guys

819
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 2: are able to get the final fours deep into the

820
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 2: a SEC tournament whatever it may be. But moving into

821
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 2: our next segment here, so and al has changed the

822
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: game forever. So we needed to get serious about our money.

823
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 2: And I was great for me. All of y'all have

824
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: it for two years, so little Jealous is happy at

825
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 2: the same time. So, yeah, what do you feel is

826
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: the biggest piece of financial advice you've gotten throughout the

827
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 2: NIL process.

828
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's a great question. I've gotten a lot

829
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 3: of advice.

830
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, I've had four years, have been I

831
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: held the best advice.

832
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 3: Probably.

833
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: I feel like to never settle. I feel I have

834
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: an agent, and my agent always tells we never settle.

835
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: She emphasizes know your worth, know your worth. So, for example,

836
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: I think some brand came to my DM was basically like, hey,

837
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: I'll give you I don't know, three hundred dollars to

838
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, post this and my brand or.

839
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 3: Something like that. Whatever.

840
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, free three hundred dollars, Like, yeah, for sure,

841
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: I'll do it, but I always have to send to

842
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: my agent make sure you know everything's good and all that.

843
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: And she was just like, wait, you cool doing stuff

844
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: for three hundred dollars. I was just like, it's free money.

845
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 3: Why not. She was like watch this right, yeah, she

846
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 3: goes next thing, you know, she flipped that three hundred

847
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 3: to a thousand.

848
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: Oh yes, please please, because I was.

849
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: Schooling three hundreds. So it's just like know your work.

850
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: Because I also had to learn that brand had probably

851
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: less than five thousand followers, right, and I'm over sitting

852
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: it almost sixty k followers. So it's just like we

853
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: both have to gain something. So it's just like three

854
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: hundred dollars cool, But overall, what would I be gaining

855
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: from maybe posting your brand, you know whatever, You would

856
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: be gaining more than me because more of my follower

857
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: from seed sour, So you have to at least get

858
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: more money. I've learned not to settle for the dollar

859
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: that they offered, but and not to be greedy or anything,

860
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: because like I said, I don't come for much, so

861
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: I'm always happy with a couple of hundred dollars or

862
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: I can do stuff for free too, as long as

863
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: maybe I get some clothes something like that. But just

864
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: to know my word and know that I'm probably a

865
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: little worth a little more than yes, you know.

866
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 2: Feel so no, for sure, I think that's a big thing.

867
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 2: And it's also like one thing for me was like no,

868
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 2: understanding the value of your agent and being like okay,

869
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 2: how does this work? Like I'm coming to you, but

870
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 2: also like I remember my agent had to tell me

871
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: one time. He was like, okay, Haley, I work for you,

872
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 2: Like you need to tell me what you want you

873
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: need to Like I'm like, oh wow, I'm in power.

874
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: Here like a yeah, this is so weird. And so

875
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: those little things understanding your worth and also understanding like

876
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 2: you have the power to say no, oh I don't

877
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: want to do this. I get to say what I

878
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: want to do, what I don't want to do. And

879
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: it's also like understanding the value of your brand. So

880
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 2: like you said, knowing you're worth, understand how much you're worth.

881
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 2: So I think that's a bad thing.

882
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: I wish I would have said a couple like during

883
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: the tournament run. I think it was maybe Sweet sixteen,

884
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: and all these players were asking me to do deals.

885
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: It was to the point I couldn't even focus on

886
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: the game.

887
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

888
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: They were also giving deadline, so it's just like they

889
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: want me to do this the night before the game.

890
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I should have just said no, you know,

891
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: I said yes now.

892
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, that leads me right into my next question

893
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: of how do you feel like you've learned to balance

894
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 2: your nil obligations with not only basketball, but also with

895
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: academics in school, because it's a lot going on, you know,

896
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: talking about time management. How did you learn to do

897
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: all that?

898
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 3: And I I was like, right now, like in the summer,

899
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 3: it's a little more quiet because nothing's really going on,

900
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 3: so there's not a whole bunch of deals out there

901
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 3: to go for it.

902
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: But I think this season coming up will probably be

903
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: the biggest nil like experience I have, especially it's coming

904
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: off a final core and just having probably the best

905
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: season that I've had, you know, my college career, and

906
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: AL hasn't been the biggest distraction for me per se

907
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: up until last well the tournament, when I like I

908
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: just said, when they were.

909
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 3: That. But other than that, it really hasn't hindered me.

910
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: My agent does a pretty good job of like looking

911
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: at my schedule and saying, hey, I see you're free

912
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: on this day.

913
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 3: Can you do this on this day? Can you post

914
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 3: this on that one?

915
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: So I feel like that it is probably just on

916
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: her because without it, I probably, you know, it probably

917
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: be a little more difficult.

918
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I need a schedule. I'm

919
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 2: a scheduled person. I'm like, okay, this this, and then

920
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 2: that allows me to like mentally comprehend, like then I

921
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 2: don't get overwhelmed about it. I've heard this on these

922
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: days thinking about outside of basketball, what things do you

923
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 2: feel like you're really passionate about that you may want

924
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 2: to invest in one day possibly.

925
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, I actually had this conversation like a week ago.

926
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: I would love to do something around modeling. I don't

927
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: know how to. I'm like, how should I post?

928
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 3: Like?

929
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm awkward. I'm more of a like

930
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: off guard type of girl. It's just like I've always

931
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: been told I have a nice smile. It's probably corny,

932
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 1: but I've been told I have nice slips. So I'm thinking, humh,

933
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: maybe I could do something like Coldgate or like these

934
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: Brent like Mary King lip gloss of stuff, stuff like that.

935
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 2: So no, I like that. Yeah, okay, yeah, we got

936
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: to reach out Coldgate anything, get us some toothpaste.

937
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: I got a mean their smile around here.

938
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 2: Oh jesus. Okay. So moving on, moving on to your

939
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: senior season, big stuff coming up. What do you feel

940
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 2: like is the biggest piece of your that you really

941
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: focus on this offseason that you're looking forward to showing

942
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: people like, Okay, this is something I've added to my

943
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 2: bag talking about being being a three level score. What

944
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 2: are you most excited to show?

945
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: So last year I had to be point guard for

946
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: most of the season. Obviously do that Zoe, but she

947
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: was a freshman, so you know, sometimes she played the wings,

948
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: sometimes she come off the bench. But this year, now

949
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: that she's a sophomore and she you know, has a

950
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: freshman under her. But I'm going to the wing and

951
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm leaving it all in her his So yeah, I

952
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: would score a little more, you know what I'm saying.

953
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: So I think I've been working on more of a

954
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: mental shift, not really you know, physically, you know, obviously

955
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: I've been getting the gym, but just saying I'm going

956
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: to get to my spots. I'm going to get there,

957
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna score, I'm gonna do whatever I do to

958
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: get here. So I think I'm ready to displayed just

959
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: that mentality switch that I can score when I want to,

960
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: because people always tell me that I can't. Oh Night,

961
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: like you could have went past her if you wanted to,

962
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, I don't know, I just rather

963
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: pass it. But this year I'm excited that I've had

964
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: a mental switch and yeah, I'm gonna get to my

965
00:40:58,960 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: spots whenever I want to.

966
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 2: Oh I like that. All right, we're calling out assertive,

967
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 2: aggressive getting to your spots. I'm just starting to see it.

968
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get there.

969
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: If it's not happening, you're gonna get a DM. Say

970
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 2: so Snaya pull up the clip from the pod and

971
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 2: I was just say, what do we do? Where did

972
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 2: this go? Yes?

973
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 3: I can yeah, yeah, exactly yeah, hold me account.

974
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 2: Talking about Zoe. We talked about Azia earlier, giving some

975
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 2: of your teammates and flowers here as I had an

976
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 2: amazing run last season, which I feel like really put

977
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: her on the map where she should have been before.

978
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 2: But I feel like that run that she had where

979
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: it was twenty ball out to twenty ball on the

980
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 2: biggest of stages, and she continued to rise the occasion

981
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: going to the dog class with you, What is so

982
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 2: special about her? And what do you love about playing

983
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 2: with her? God, it's crazy because I did not get

984
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: to play with Zaza.

985
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I didn't play with her this much

986
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: when I first got here my sophomore year. I feel

987
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: like she should have played more, but you know, we

988
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: had other people that were here, so you know, she

989
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,280
Speaker 1: obviously had to come off the bench whatever. But playing

990
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: with us side this year or this past season, it

991
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: was amazing. Like I feel like we really jailed, like ridiculously,

992
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: like definitely the best backcourt duo. I would say, like

993
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: we got out in transition, I would hit her when

994
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: she's hot. I just feel like our and she was

995
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: just there, but her personally, like I feel like her

996
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 1: mentality has changed. I feel like she was just playing free.

997
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: She was worried free, she didn't care. She just let

998
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: everything on the court go and she did that. She

999
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: got to her spots. So the mentality that she had

1000
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: last season, that's the mentality I'm trying to have this season.

1001
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: She definitely killed. We fed her confidence. I feel like

1002
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: that's a big thing and she definitely displayed it well.

1003
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: So we need those fous to come back this season.

1004
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 2: If we need to repeat that, keep that well. And

1005
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 2: so you talked about the backcourt due of you guys,

1006
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: which is definitely one of the best in the country,

1007
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 2: and so let's take you guys out of the ranking.

1008
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: The thing about other backcourt due is that we got

1009
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 2: going on. We got Rory Harmon, Madison Booker at Texas

1010
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 2: page with KK and Azy both of them, of Miles

1011
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 2: and hand Hidalgo, those are kind of the main three

1012
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 2: duels I'm thinking about. I'm sure I'm missing some with

1013
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: Baylor and USC butt out of those three, How do

1014
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: you actually I want to keep you guys in the mix.

1015
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: How do you feel like those three backcourt deals kind

1016
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 2: of match up to you? Guys? What are the rankings

1017
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 2: that we have going on?

1018
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 3: Oh?

1019
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: Man, what those are some tough backcourt duos. Okay, let

1020
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: me see taking us out. I'm gonna take us out.

1021
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let's slide y'all out of the picture. We

1022
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 2: already know in your head where y'all are landing. I

1023
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: got you.

1024
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 3: I started thinking about some other ones. Who are the

1025
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 3: ones you said again?

1026
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: I want to got Rory in Madison at Texas, page

1027
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 2: KK and As at Yukon Olivia and Hannatt Notre Dame.

1028
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 2: What are some other ones that you're thinking of?

1029
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 3: I automatically thought of Raping and Malaysia.

1030
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I definitely should say.

1031
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 3: You know, we just played them. That's what I obviously

1032
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 3: about it.

1033
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: I got you. That's a good one.

1034
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 3: The definitely plenty.

1035
00:43:53,880 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: But Rory Booker, oh god, Booker was already tough. Ye

1036
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: just I'm excited to see her. I think they're gonna

1037
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: be a tough.

1038
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 2: Duore, gonna be tough. I don't know if we can

1039
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 2: rank them, but they're all gonna be good.

1040
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: I can't rank those. I'm gonna lie yeah, yeah, all right,

1041
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 1: They're always going to do their.

1042
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 2: Thing, yeah every game. Now, I can't rank those. I'm

1043
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 2: core excited to see all of them play. Everybody's amazing.

1044
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 2: Share the letter. But just like even with the backward

1045
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 2: does that we talked about, just across the board, the

1046
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 2: college landscape is overflowing with talent. I feel like, especially

1047
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: this year with the incoming freshmen, to people still taking

1048
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 2: their COVID years, coming back for the final year of eligibility,

1049
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 2: conference realignment, all the things. What about your team is

1050
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 2: special that is going to make you guys stand out

1051
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,479
Speaker 2: compared to the rest of the talent out there.

1052
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: I've always said that we take pride in our transition game.

1053
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: I feel like if we say that we're going to

1054
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: score in transition, we're going to score. I feel like

1055
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: we're unstopped on the transition.

1056
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 3: We're fast.

1057
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: I feel like all of us, for the most part,

1058
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,959
Speaker 1: can handle the ball, so it doesn't matter who gets

1059
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: the rebound. We can all push it, we can all run,

1060
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's our bread and butter, so

1061
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: we can get out in that.

1062
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 2: I think we'll be sad. I think we'll be good.

1063
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see it. You guys are quick, like

1064
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 2: you talked about you kicking it up whatever. Maybe you

1065
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 2: guys have a lot of ball handlers, which I feel

1066
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: like is easy to get into that transition break. So

1067
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: that that's exciting and that's the funnest way to play.

1068
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: Who doesn't want to play in transition exactly?

1069
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to set up for those players a

1070
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 3: lot of the time. Let's get it and go.

1071
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I'm with you. Yeah, all right, Well,

1072
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 2: moving into our last segment here, it's gonna it's called

1073
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 2: the vibe check. It's rapid fire questions. So we have

1074
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 2: some guests that are better than others. You're gonna be great.

1075
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 2: You're gonna be great. Okay, here we go. I believe

1076
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 2: in you. What's the drill you never want to see

1077
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 2: on the practice plan?

1078
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 3: Oh, bullet layups?

1079
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 2: What's that? Full court layups?

1080
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: So you know it's full court layers. But you have

1081
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: one of the baseline. You pass it to the side line.

1082
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:53,279
