8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: combining with Fernando Mendoza. Tys Simpson got thoughts on all

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 1: of it. I hope you like Fernando Mendoz as much

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: as I do, because I think the kid's really special.

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: I really like him. Well, we do it every Monday.

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: Colin was right, Colin was wrong. Let's not waste any

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: time and let's get right to it on a Monday

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: where Colin was right. Well Byron Scott Knight agree he

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: said last week and in law it should be Lebron's

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: last season with the Lakers. Listen. The plus minus with

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: Lebron and Luca when they're on the floor is awful.

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: Lebron is now the second slowest player in the NBA,

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: which would be fine if he was surrounded by a young,

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: athletic defensive squad, but he can't assist to hide Lebron's

21
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: fatal flaw, which is conditioning and bad defense. So now

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: Byron's got a popular former laker has moved to our side.

23
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: Where Colin was wrong, I think the Knicks have a

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: low ceiling, but they're fun to watch well. The Spurs

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: were on an eleven game winning streak and the Knicks

26
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: dominated him yesterday. Watched every dribble and jump shot. Listen.

27
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: They forced Wemby into seven turnovers. Wemby won for seven

28
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: on threes. The Knicks had a very spirited at home

29
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: defensive effort, and I never worry about the Knicks scoring.

30
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Brunson and Kat and Og and Bridges, Josh Hart. They

31
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: got guys who can filled up. They got a lot

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: of pieces there moved Yesterday. Was great on offense, but

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: it was their defensive effort against Wemby and others that

34
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: stood out. Where Colin was right. The Vikings are now

35
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: interested in Anthony Richardson and Tua. This shows a clear

36
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: sign publicly that they've got concerns about JJ McCarthy. Now

37
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,559
Speaker 1: they'll frame it as hey, we just want a spirited competition,

38
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: but they're already forty five million over the cap, and

39
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: they don't want to pay for another player. So I mean,

40
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: they built this team like the Broncos did and the

41
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: Bears did with their young quarterback to load up on

42
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: the roster, and they can't because they're going to have

43
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: to go semi big game hunting. And reportedly three different quarterbacks,

44
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: including Anthony Richardson, are on their radar. Where Colin was wrong,

45
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Now there's a report here the Chiefs are the betting

46
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: favorites to sign Tyreek Hill, and I don't get it.

47
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: Been there and done that. Secondly, is he's got injury

48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: concerns and maturity off field issues, and doesn't that kind

49
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: of sum up what the Chiefs are already dealing with

50
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: with Rashid Rice. So I certainly don't think he's a

51
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: great mentor for young receivers. Now he's a home run hitter,

52
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: but the way people are defending Tyreek Hill, I just

53
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: don't think that's a primary need. I think it's more

54
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: running back, O line and edge rusher. But the betting

55
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: market says Tyreek's a Chief and I don't really get it.

56
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: Where Colin was right, Well, I felt vindicated finally, despite

57
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: the fact I do think he's in all time great

58
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: offensive talent. The public and the media is acknowledging, oh luka,

59
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: Donzig isn't a perfect player. There's some video out of

60
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: Luca jj Reddick this weekend having a confrontation. Doesn't work

61
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: with Lebron. The constant berating and arguing with officials. Is

62
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: he committed to the body. There's arguments, and he doesn't

63
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: necessarily match up well according to net ratings with Lebron. James,

64
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is Dallas got on the phone for

65
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: a reason, just like Anthony Davis James Harden. When great

66
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: players get bounced around and traded, there's usually some reason

67
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: for it. Where Colin was wrong, I always defended Kyler

68
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: Murray and the Cardinals desperate for a star quarterback. Reportedly

69
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: now they're moving on. Listen. I loved how elusive he was.

70
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: I thought he was a more elusive version than Russell

71
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: Wilson in his prime. I think he's super athlete. I

72
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: think he throws a beautiful ball. But you know, their

73
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: commitment issues, there are health issues, and the truth is

74
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: seven years in they've made the playoffs once in a

75
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: very good division. True, but I was always a bigger

76
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray fan than I think the marketplace. So I'll

77
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: take an l on that one. Where Colin was right,

78
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, I'm gonna miss five more games. One of

79
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: the mantras on this show fall in love with your kids,

80
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: fall in like with your superstars. Listen, man, I love Steph.

81
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: This roster is brutal, small, old fast break points, bottom

82
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: four points in the paint, bottom four. Hey, they shoot threes? Well, yeah,

83
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: most of the league does now as well. And I

84
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: love Steph Curry. I just like to see him play

85
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: for a winner. But it feels like they have been

86
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: trapped for the last three years and they've gone from

87
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: mediocre to unwatchable. Where Colin was right, I keep telling

88
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: j Mac Malik Willis is going to have a market

89
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: There's just there's six teams that need a quarterback. He's young,

90
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: twenty six, he's athletic, and he's accurate well. According to

91
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: a story today, Jeremy Fowler ESPN says he's not going

92
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: to get thirty million, but the Jets, Cardinals, and Miami

93
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins are going to be options for Malik Willis, who

94
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: I acknowledge. I like him much more than the marketplace

95
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: Robert May's last week. Agreed with me, there's something here

96
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: with Willis.

97
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 2: If you're a quarterback and needy team and you're telling

98
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: me that you're not looking at Malik Willis, you're a liar.

99
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: And think about how many quarterback and needy teams there

100
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: are and how few avenues there are to those guys.

101
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: This year, Baker Mayfield signed.

102
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: A one year, four million dollar deal to be the

103
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: buck starting quarterback. And then when he succeeds, you see

104
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: it start to creep up. All right, Donald's ten million,

105
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is fifteen million, Justin Fields is now twenty million.

106
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: And so the idea that you could have gotten Baker

107
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: for four million bucks three years ago, and now Malik

108
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: Willis is going to make thirty million.

109
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: Dollars a year in free agency.

110
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: It just shows you how fast things change when a

111
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: certain idea starts working for people.

112

124
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: Well, we're getting ready for March madness. Saint John's has

125
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: split with Yukon. They came back from twelve down to

126
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: beat Georgetown last night. They're twenty four and six and

127
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: they're legendary coach thirty eight years coaching basketball. Rick Matino

128
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: is now joining US live and last time. This is

129
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: very fun because you know we were talking about this

130
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: a second ago. You know, they want to expand the

131
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: tournament and I'm like, it used to be sixty four.

132
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: It started on Thursday. I could fill out my bracket.

133
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: It was easy. And then they've got the first four.

134
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: That screws me up a little bit. And I don't

135
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: know about these teams. I like the certain sanctity of like,

136
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm for inclusion, but I think sixty four is a big,

137
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: fat number and sixty eight is a big number. What

138
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: is your general take on expanding it even further?

139
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 7: Well, I guess it would come down to, what's the

140
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 7: reason for expansion. Is it to make sure a if

141
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 7: a Saint Louis is undefeated and people are somehow thinking

142
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 7: of not putting them in the tournament if they get

143
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 7: knocked out of their bracket.

144
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: I think that's absurd.

145
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 7: You know, any team that goes undefeated, I don't care

146
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 7: what level you're at, you deserve an NCAA bit. You

147
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 7: got to go on the road in front of a

148
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 7: hostile crowd every single night. And whoever may be Miami

149
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 7: of Ohio is another exim Miay of Ohio I think

150
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 7: is undefeated. They wouldout question deserve a bit if they

151
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 7: go undefeated.

152
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 6: Right.

153
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: So, I think last time I had you on, we

154
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: talked about this. I think nil is great for college basketball.

155
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: And I told Adam Silber when he was on this show,

156
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: stop demonizing college basketball. The coaching's better, the swag, the

157
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: nutrition get paid now. And the other thing is they

158
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: have to play in environments that you don't get in

159
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the G League. I mean, you're playing in Madison Square Garden,

160
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: you're playing in Kansas. These are NBA level intensity. And

161
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: I'll tell you last year's draft was great. I mean

162
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: it's a mix I didn't know Conkin I was that good.

163
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: I knew Cooper Flag was good. This draft is supposed

164
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: to be legendary. Are you noticing in the last two

165
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: or three years what the Nile has done, especially teams

166
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: like you at the top Rick I turned on Michigan

167
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: Illinois Friday. Michigan is stacked. It looks like the top

168
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen teams of which you're part of them

169
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: are noticeably deeper than five years ago. Right that feels

170
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: like that person the.

171
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: Florign influence with the NBA as well as college.

172
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 7: So if you're a great I coached in the Ponatanaikos

173
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 7: in the EuroLeague, and if you're a basketball player at

174
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 7: aspiring to go to the EuroLeague because the NBA is

175
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 7: not right in your reach as a foreign player, you'd

176
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 7: rather go to college. It pays almost twice more than

177
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 7: the EuroLeague unless you are the first and second best

178
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 7: player on the EuroLeague team. The rest of the ROSTA

179
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 7: you could go to college and get paid a lot

180
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 7: more money. So college basketball has elevated to a level

181
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 7: of great play right now. You look at Duke, you

182
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 7: look at Arizona, you look at Michigan. Those are three

183
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 7: basketball teams that I look at that can win a

184
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 7: national championship.

185
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: Because of their incredible talent.

186
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 7: Then you have the Connecticuts to Illinois and people like

187
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 7: that that are very very deep, very well coached, and

188
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 7: they can win a national championship.

189
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: So it's a lot of fun.

190
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 7: I've never seen college basketball in the last two years

191
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 7: this strong. I've been coaching fifty some odd years. But

192
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 7: it would have to go back to the Kareem days,

193
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 7: the Walton days, where everybody stayed in school.

194
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: Yo, I remember though Bill Walton was arguably the best

195
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: college basketball player of all time, went to Portland, won

196
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: a title with the Blazers and Jack Ramsey. The you

197
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: know European players, the Tony kukach Era, everybody always said

198
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,599
Speaker 1: they're soft, they're skilled, but they're soft. Well, now you

199
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: got they're not Jokic just bullying people, Lucas screaming at

200
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: the officials. Yannis is a physical player. What do you

201
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: think led because and now you're facing European players, Regulardy,

202
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: what do you think led to? You know, and I

203
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: think some of it was fair more finesse European players,

204
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: they're now very physical. What changed over there?

205
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 7: Well, I like European basketball players because they passed, they

206
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 7: cut They really understand how to play. Ball movement's great.

207
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 7: I watched the game and I'm not going to say

208
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 7: the team the other night. It's the first time I

209
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 7: said I can't watch this anymore. It was a West

210
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 7: Coast team in the pros and it was just back

211
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 7: the man in, back them in in, take a fade

212
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 7: away jump shot, get beat in transition, and I said,

213
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 7: I can't watch any more of this. There was no

214
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 7: ball movement, no player movement whatsoever. And then in the

215
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 7: Europeans they used the ball movement, play a movement, go

216
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 7: to the high post as the center, find the back

217
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 7: door cutter, set screens pop out.

218
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: The ability to shoot the three. For pretty foreign players.

219
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 7: My team, I have a player from Austria, Sweden, Nigeria, Ghana, Portugal, Greece.

220
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 7: So it's the foreign influences is here to stay. But

221
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 7: it makes the game so much better because they really

222
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 7: understand how to play. Now most of them defensively can't

223
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 7: guard me, but on offense they're great.

224
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they have to play against older men, I

225
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: mean to be honest with you. So it's now now

226
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr has lamented the AAU. And you know, we've

227
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: had some you know, domestic players John Morant Zion who

228
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: are gifted but haven't kind of panned out. Although this

229
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: year's draft it looks like the domestic players are crushing.

230
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 8: Is there?

231
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 6: You know?

232
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: When Kerr bangs on AAU basketball, I mean, just look

233
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: at your roster. It's full of European and global players.

234
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: How is the domestic product to you right now?

235
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 7: Well, the easiest thing to do is blame the AAU system,

236
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 7: and I'm not one of those people that do that.

237
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 7: I would rather blame parents than I would AAU. I

238
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 7: think parents today are way too involved in their children's

239
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 7: careers as far as growing up. The parents need to

240
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 7: just sit in the stands, enjoy the game, and let

241
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 7: the kids develop and develop a love for the game.

242
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: Twenty years ago, I never dealt with parents.

243
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 7: I'm very lucky. I've got parents that are disciplinarians. They

244
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 7: get after their kids. But the ones that aren't hurt

245
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 7: much more than AAU. They want to Okay, let's go

246
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 7: to a different school next year because you can make

247
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 7: three hundred thousand more. Now, let's grind it out where

248
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 7: you're at and play for Tom izzo and play for

249
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 7: this person, and play for this guy because he's going

250
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 7: to make you a terrific basketball player with discipline and character.

251
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, Rick, it's pretty amazing. You've got players from

252
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: several continents, and I'm sure with some there can be

253
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: semi language barriers. And yet enough, if you watch Saint

254
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: John's play, defense is all about communication and effort and

255
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: your team's play defense. How do you It's kind of

256
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: fascinating to me. How do you with some sometimes language barriers.

257
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: And you know, you got older players, younger players. This

258
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: guy's from Ghana, this guy can be from Chicago. How

259
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: do you make it?

260
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 3: Do you?

261
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: How do you tie the string and make it work?

262
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 8: Yeah?

263
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 7: One week link kills your defense. I have a young

264
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 7: man lithetis h He's Greek. I can't say his last name.

265
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 7: By coleim lefty and I said, left they look do

266
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 7: me a favor. Communicate defensively. That's the keto on defense.

267
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 7: Tell them to down it, tell them to switch it,

268
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 7: tell them bring them my way so we can switch it.

269
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 7: I said, just talk and communicate defensively. I don't care

270
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 7: if you do it in Greek. Open your mouth up

271
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 7: and talk defensively. And that's the biggest problem I have

272
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 7: with the European basketball players. They don't verbally communicate as much.

273
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're a couple of weeks away from March Madness.

274
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: The old cliche is it's guard play and and you

275
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: know it's years ago. I went back and I looked

276
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: at the numbers. You don't necessarily have to be playing

277
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: great going into the Tournament's a little bit of a myth.

278
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: We've seen teams that cool off. I remember that Florida

279
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: Gator Billy Donovan team, the one back to backs. They

280
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: lost the game late. If I recall they flew through

281
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: the tournament fuzzy memory. But if I recall, that's what happened.

282
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: You tell me last night, you almost lose. You come

283
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: back to Georgetown. Should I look if a guy is

284
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: filling out a bracket to you, guard plays essential? What

285
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: is something in the tournament that guys like me don't discuss?

286
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: But you're always a sneaky important Well.

287
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 7: The first thing you have to look at his free

288
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 7: throw percentage. It's always going to come down to making

289
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 7: your free throws at the end of the game. And

290
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 7: godplay is the second most important thing. When you look

291
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 7: at say, Florida right now. Florida right now is a

292
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 7: team middle of the season because of all the new

293
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 7: players in the back court, they weren't playing great. Now

294
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 7: they are, and you have to look at Florida as

295
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 7: one of the favorites to repeat as national champions because

296
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 7: their front court is so good and now that backcourt

297
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 7: has come on. So when you look at Florida, Arizona,

298
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 7: Michigan and Duke and teams of that caliber, you see

299
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 7: they have great godplay and they can make their free throws.

300
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 7: If you have a team that doesn't make free throws,

301
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 7: they can't win six games, can't because it's going to

302
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 7: come down to free throws in about forty to fifty

303
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 7: percent of the games.

304
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, a lot of guys Roy Williams, coach

305
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: k Jay Wright, they're like, yeah, I'm done, I did it,

306
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: And you're like, no, I'm going to go to Saint John's.

307
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to go play at Maddison. I think you've

308
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: had like ten or eleven games at the MSG. You

309
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: have great energy. Still, you're smiling, you're happy. Do you

310
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: think some of your ability to remain viable is the

311
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: fact that you're not a you don't you have an

312
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: interesting balance. I don't see a lot of rigidity, but

313
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: I do see you're demanding. You're demanding without rigidity, and

314
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: I think it's part of your personality. I mean it's

315
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: it's why have you lasted this long and why do

316
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: you still have great energy?

317
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 6: Well?

318
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: I think I took two years off of coaching.

319
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 7: I didn't think I was going to get back in

320
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 7: the game and wound up going upon it Tonkos in

321
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 7: Greece and had a blast doing that. I think being

322
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 7: adaptable is key. I'm coaching fifty years now. I met

323
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 7: with one of my players, Joe Sansen, on the other

324
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 7: day and I said, listen, Joe, I may be seventy three,

325
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 7: but I act like I'm forty three. I've heard every

326
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 7: story from every player. It is nothing you can tell

327
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 7: me that I haven't heard. I said, so, I have

328
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 7: you got a problem. If you want to get something

329
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 7: off your chest, tell me. I'm going to act like.

330
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: A forty three year old for you.

331
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 7: So you know, I think I can adjust to just

332
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 7: about anything, because you have to adjust today.

333
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 3: You see it all the time in the game.

334
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 7: I've seen the game change from Bobby Knight total motion

335
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 7: to a triangle offense that we Phill Jackson in the NBA.

336
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 7: Look at everybody would copy the triangle offense. Now it's

337
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 7: big men stepping away from the basket and shooting threes,

338
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 7: playing five out. So it's all changed. But you have

339
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 7: to change with the times because it's all different. No

340
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 7: different than the NFL. The way the NFL game is played.

341
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 7: He used to be running back off tackle, Jim Brown

342
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 7: running off tackle and taking people with him.

343
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: And now it's wide outs more than anything else. So

344
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: all the sports change.

345
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 7: The coaches that don't want to change get out, and

346
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 7: I wasn't ready to get out because they took two

347
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 7: years off and my golf wasn't very good some of

348
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 7: the things. Going to the racetrack, I was losing too

349
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 7: much money, so I like to keep the money in

350
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 7: my pocket and coach basketball.

351
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: Were you betting the ponies in Greece, by the.

352
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: Way, No, No, this is in Miami.

353
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 7: I was going to once or twice a week to

354
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 7: Gulf Stream and giving my deposit to them to keep

355
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 7: the economy moving.

356
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: Beautiful part of Florida. By the way, Rick has always

357
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: an absolute pleasure. Great stuff. Good luck to Saint John's

358
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: thanks Colin.

359
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 3: Good speaking with you all right.

360
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: Always entertaining. I mean, he's just got great energy. It's like,

361
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: you can see why I can recruit. He's got great energy.

362
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: I love he's got players from Ghana, overseas, He's got

363
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: players from here. That's fun. J Mack. Got to hit

364
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: your free throws, cross the t's, dot the eyes and

365
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: hit your free thro You know you glean any information

366
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: for your tournament.

367
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna fade his gambling ponies picks and become

368
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 4: extremely wealthy.

369
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: I will say your port about the energy.

370
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 3: I wanted to look up his age.

371
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: Seventy three years old. That's impressive. You know a lot

372
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: of our elected officials they get a late seventies and

373
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: it's like, oh boy, here we go. This guy at

374
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: seventy three. He's still got it. Nah. Same, John's not

375
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: a bad team this year. No, it's not bad at all.

376
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: They split with Yukon. Indeed, there you go. We got

377
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. Oh I got top of next hour,

378
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: not messing around. Very excited for this my mock draft.

379
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: I fired up. I'm gonna throw you a curveball at

380
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: the number two pick, and it makes a lot of sense.

381
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: Don't scoff the number two. You don't if you believe

382
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: what you're reading on these mock drafts. I'll tell you

383
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: what the Jets are going to do and what they

384
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: should do. That's coming up.

385
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 4: One more Heard The Herd streams twenty four hours a day,

386
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 4: seven days a week within the iHeartRadio app. Search Herd

387
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 4: to listen live or on demand. Whenever you lie.

388
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: This is not a traditional mock draft. They do this

389
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: every year. I do one where you know, I try

390
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: to guess what teams do. But my take is I

391
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: don't know. Nobody does outside of the number one pick.

392
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: This year, everybody knows that. So I am going to

393
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: draft based on what I would do as general manager,

394
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: and I think it will look mostly like the first

395
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: fifteen picks. I'm going to go fifteen picks. So let's

396
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: start with the number one pick. That's the easiest one.

397
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: The Raiders need a quarterback. Fernando Mendoza is easily the

398
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: best quarterback prospect. Is he Matt Ryan plus Heisman winner

399
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: sixteen to zero at a non traditional power, big arm,

400
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: moves well, humble gratitude, and you get that rookie quarterback

401
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: contract for the next four to five years, So that's

402
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: the easy one. He goes number one. My second pick

403
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: is a little different than everybody else's mom. I think

404
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: the Jets draft David Bailey the best pure edge He'll

405
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: walk into the Jets. On one side, you'll have Will

406
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: McDonald on the other, it's David Bail. I hear about

407
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: rvel rees rvel rees projects as an edge rusher. I

408
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: don't trust the Jets to get that right. This guy

409
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: is a plug play guy. He will be starting the

410
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: first week. David Bailey from Texas Tech. He went to Stanford,

411
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: then he was on the market. Texas Tech got out

412
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: the wallet. He is an immediate play day one edge rusher.

413
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: Number three Arizona. I think Arizona should call on Fernando Mendoza.

414
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: But their o line is a wreck. They have a

415
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: new offensive coach. What a offensive coach is like Ben Johnson?

416
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: Do solve the offensive line? Francis Mawiinoah from Miami. He

417
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: can play interior or tackle. They may use him at both.

418
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: The Cardinals had the twenty six ranked offensive line. He

419
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: has slid and run in pass blocking. An offensive coach,

420
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: They've got receivers and backs and tight ends. They have

421
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: got to get that O line solved. Whether Jacoby brussat

422
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: or rumored. Jimmy Garoppolo is the quarterback Number four rvel

423
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: reees Now again, many have him at two to the Jets.

424
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't trust the Jets. I do trust Robert Sala

425
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: to use him in maybe a little bit of a

426
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: hybrid Fred Warner, Nick Bosa roll I trust. I think

427
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: he's just too talented to fall. And again he's six

428
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: four two forty four four. Titans only had one player

429
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: with more than five sacks last year, So I think

430
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: he's just too talented for Robert solid to pass on.

431
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: They've got their quarterback and they've got other needs, but

432
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: I think they go get the Ohio State edge. Number

433
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: five Giants. This is a good pick for them. They

434
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: need secondary help. Caleb Downs best safety in the draft.

435
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's pretty good in coverage. You

436
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: can bring him as you see here on blitzes like

437
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: Nick Ahman Warri who went to the Seahawks second round

438
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: out of South Carolina. He's a tremendous player. John Harbaugh

439
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: is going to love him. You can play him probably

440
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: special teams in defense. Day one ranked Giants were an

441
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: atrocious team last year thirty first against the run. This

442
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: kid didn't even have to perform at the combine. He

443
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: is that good Giants who I have projected is winning

444
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: their division. Get the number one back end defensive player

445
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: in the draft. Caleb Downs another Buckeye, Number six Cleveland Browns,

446
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: Carnel Tate played at Ohio State. Their receiving course a mess.

447
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: Shadure Sanders probably get and Shadur Sanders capable of throwing

448
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, but Jerry Judy is inconsistent,

449
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: drop issues, maturity issues. Carneal Taate kind of feels like

450
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: a can't miss guy to me, I mean, I don't

451
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: think there's many can't miss guys in the draft. I

452
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: can't believe it if not for Cleveland, somebody else, a

453
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: lot of Buckeyes at the top. I think he walks

454
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: in Jerry Judy one side, Carnell Tait on the other.

455
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: They had an atroci. I mean, their leading receiver last

456
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: year was a rookie tight end from Bowling Green. Carnell

457
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: Tate to the Browns. Number seven best corner in the

458
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: draft is out of Lsu Mansour Delane. I think the Commanders,

459
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: who have many issues, they were a really bad team

460
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: was Washington against the pass. He excels outside the numbers

461
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: in man coverage. I mean Lsu has always been a

462
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: cornerback in a wide receiver factory, great instincts, excellent lane,

463
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: best corner in the draft. A team Washington that needs it.

464
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: He goes at seven, number eight. Tyger Schuck was surprisingly

465
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: good for the Saints. Rookie quarterback second round pick. I

466
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: think they get Jeremiah Love. He's the Jamiir Gibbs of

467
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: this draft. A home run hitter. I mean Alvin Kamara

468
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: is now thirty and rush for under five hundred yards.

469
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: And they were not a good run team. They were

470
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: near the bottom twenty eighth in the NFL against the run.

471
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: So Love is a again like David Bailey at number two.

472
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: He's a plug and play guy. Put him in run

473
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: game with a second year quarterback they couldn't run last year.

474
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara is aging. He goes to the Saints at eight.

475
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: Number nine. The Chiefs who made that Trent McDuffie trade

476
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: with the Rams. Today they have two first rounders. I

477
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs go and get Spencer Finot out of

478
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: Utah right tackle, so they've got their left tackle. They

479
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: don't have a right tackle he was. I mean Utah

480
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: has are you'll be two of the best tackles in

481
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: the whole draft. They were twenty fifth and rushing twenty

482
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: eight in pressure, So they've got a They've got a

483
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: lot of needs right now in Kansas City, but I

484
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: think number one is protecting Patrick Mahomes and getting that

485
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: running game going. So if love falls to them, I

486
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: could see them taking love from Notre Dame. If not,

487
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: they'll go with a right tackle from Utah. Number ten, Cincinnati,

488
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: my guess is they'll take a buck guy, Sunny Styles,

489
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: who had an unbelievable combine. Trey Hendrickson's out the door,

490
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: He's he can play. I mean, Sunny Styles is one

491
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: of those guys. He was a combined monster. You know,

492
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: on any other team he would have been the best

493
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: player easily, But on Ohio State he's a third or

494
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: fourth best player. You know, six' five two forty, five

495
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: runs a four to. Four you, know Typical buckeye, elite

496
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: five star level. Talent SO i think he stays in.

497
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: State number Eleven, Dolphins Ruben, BAIN i think drops To.

498
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: MIAMI i think they'll have some pressure to go get

499
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: a guy with short arms, historically but he's just a

500
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: ball or he's a, playmaker and The hurricane fan base

501
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: is going to absolutely love. This miami doesn't get pressure

502
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: on the. Quarterback they were twenty fifth in THE nfl

503
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: last year and getting pressure on the. Quarterback and you,

504
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: KNOW i don't know how Good Ruben bain is with

505
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: the arm, issue BUT i know every TIME i Watched miami,

506
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: play he was, unblockable a relentless, player kind of A

507
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: Max crosby, engine kind of a game changer up. Front

508
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: SO i Think miami grabs him at number, twelve AND

509
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: i think this will be one of the early steals

510
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: in the. Draft The Dallas cowboys will Get Keldrick fulk From,

511
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: auburn a great character. Guy just gotten. Me he was

512
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: like ALL sec freshman. Team he's been good for years At,

513
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: auburn very good against the. Run character guy in the.

514
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: Building AND i think they're sensitive to that In dallas

515
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: BECAUSE i think you Know Dak, prescott high character, guy

516
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 1: has always been somebody That Jerry jones, Liked Mike parsons

517
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: viewed is a little Into. Mica this kid is. Great

518
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: they need an edge. Rusher he can defend the, run

519
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: in the, pass he's a, grinder he's a character. GUY

520
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: i think he goes to The cowboys and they get

521
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: themselves a little bit of a first round. Steal number,

522
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: Thirteen La. RAMS i think they Go Mackay. Lemon now

523
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: they've got needs at, tackle But lemon can solve two.

524
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: Issues Davonte adams is thirty, three so he's the air

525
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: apparent To Devonte. Adams this kid is. Unbelievable if he

526
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: gets his hand on, it he catches. It you, know

527
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of these recruits that don't pan. Out

528
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: he has been sensational and over delivered for The, trojans

529
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: AND i think Between Devonte adams, age they also want

530
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: to clean up their punt. Returning he's got impeccable, hands

531
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: almost one hundred yards per game for The. Trojans number,

532
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: FOURTEEN i think The ravens they're gonna have to Pay Lamar.

533
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: Jackson they get to find some guys on that offense

534
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: that don't cost. Much Kenyon sadiq From, oregon who just

535
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: had the fastest forty time ever for a tight. End

536
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: he's a little, undersized but Remember Isaiah, likely The ravens tight,

537
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: end is a free. Agent Mark andrews is getting older

538
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: and they were top three in THE nfl in twelve.

539
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: Personnel they like to use multiple tight ends it you,

540
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: know The rams, do The ravens.

541
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 5: Do.

542
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: SO i think The oregon tight end who's undersized but

543
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of a. Bully he's hard to hard

544
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: matchup for corners in, safeties he goes to The ravens

545
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: and number fifteen The Tapa Bay. Buccaneers they've got several

546
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: needs edge, rusher among Them TEXAS a AND. M Cassius

547
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: howell first Team All american At TEXAS a AND. M

548
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: it is a good edge rusher. Draft he is a

549
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: need of which they. Have you, know they have a

550
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: need at, corner, linebacker. Edge they got to rebuild that.

551
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: Defense so there is my verse fifteen.

552
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 4: Draft be sure to catch live editions of The herd

553
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 4: weekdays and noon eastern non Am.

554
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Pacific we Had Rick patino on yesterday and he was.

555
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: Great and By gonzaga's, standards even though they've WON i

556
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: think twenty two to twenty, three they're twenty eight and,

557
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: three they're kind of under the radar For gonzaga. Standards

558
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: And Mark few who has a pretty high standard. Himself

559
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: two Time National coach of The. Year you, KNOW i

560
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: Had patino on. Yesterday he's a pretty good. Coach i'm

561
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 1: not sure you heard of. Him he's a pretty good.

562
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: Coach AND i asked, HIM i, said you, know a

563
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: lot of these guys get older and they get out

564
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: of this. Business And i'm, like you're still firing. Away

565
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: and he's, like, listen you got to. Adapt he, Goes

566
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,480

567
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: continents and you still have amazing. Energy AND i, think

568
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: knowing you a little, BIT i think one of the

569
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: things you're good is. Adaptability so And patino kind of

570
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: laughed at. It he was, LIKE i got so Many european.

571

573
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: to adapt with something with the nil and transfer. Port

574
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: what is the one thing you've had to totally adapt?

Speaker 8: Accomplished, well awesome.

580
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 6: Question hard to maybe say that one, thing you, KNOW

581
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 6: i would say kind of the you, know as you,

582
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 6: know following us all these, years we red shirt guys

583
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 6: and we got them in our program three four or

584
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 6: five yep, years and that was the, standard Right and

585
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 6: now kind of looking, AROUND i got a bunch of

586
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 6: one year guys that are either freshmen or, transfers and

587
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 6: maybe a two.

588
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 8: Year guy here and.

589
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 6: There but, yeah just the general continuity in college. Basketball

590
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 6: and that could, be you.

591
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 8: Know also due to guys leaving early for THE nba

592
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 8: and all.

593
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 6: That but that's been the hardest THING i think think

594
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 6: is just always fighting for your culture even.

595
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 8: Though like you're looking around and like you've got to

596
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 8: explain it to these. Guys, yeah you, know and they

597
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 8: haven't experienced it.

598
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: Yet. Yeah you, know your front court scoring is big this,

599
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: year not as much in the back. Court and WHEN

600
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: i think Of, GONZAGA i kind of always think of

601
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: balance from the bench. On but it feels like to,

602
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: me a lot of your scoring this year is front

603
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: court instead of. Backcourt does that you know everybody talks

604
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: about guard play in the. Tournament does that concern you at?

605
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 6: All?

606
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 8: Yeah of, course, yeah yeah it. Does and our back

607
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 8: court play has been you, know spectacular at times and

608
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 8: then not so spectacular at, times and so.

609
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 9: It.

610
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 8: Does but you, KNOW i think back to your point about.

611
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 6: ADAPTABILITY i think you, know over the, years we've been

612
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 6: front court, dominated we've been backcourt, dominated we've been great balance.

613
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 6: Dominated if you think of that twenty one, team and

614
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 6: you know this year we got a fantastic interior player

615
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 6: And GRAMMY. K we had two of, them With Bradon

616
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,880

700
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 8: year it's a little.

703
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:21,960

704
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 6: YOU know i mean it's.

705
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,840
