AROTC 300: Reconnaissance of the Unseen Enemy

1
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,300
Welcome back to the Beltre
Corner podcast.

2
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,000
My name is Curtis Wilson, along
with my co-host.

3
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Brian Sigler, how you doing
buddy, buddy?

4
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:01,800
This guy is tired.
What you been doing man?

5
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:09,300
Alright, so Friday, my neighbor,
who is a landscape, contractor

6
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,000
G, and our Landscaping LLC?
Name is Chris great guy, talk to

7
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,500
him about getting some mulch,
couple weeks ago.

8
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,300
He dropped 10 yards of mulch at
the house on Friday and Buddy,

9
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:30,600
me and the wifey all day, most
of the day Saturday and part of

10
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,900
the day-to-day.
Worked.

11
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,600
So start, we I'm a little tired
from doing that.

12
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,400
Plus, we had our first Little
League baseball practice on

13
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,200
Saturday as well.
Okay.

14
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,000
When we get done recording here
tonight, only going to bed and

15
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,900
probably fall asleep in like
five minutes.

16
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:55,800
What about you big guy?
Do we kind of similar, man?

17
00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:00,700
We had a pretty much outdoor
based weekend.

18
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:05,600
We did a lot of You know, little
bit more Landscaping than some

19
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,500
kind of similar stuff.
We were working on before with

20
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:15,500
the patio and stuff that we had
a wonder why it's classmates him

21
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:21,400
and his brother and his parents
over doing like a little, little

22
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:26,600
alcoholic punch and Noble fruit
tray and stuff like that, while

23
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,600
the kids messed around in the
inflatable pool and on the

24
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,800
trampoline.
And then we went over to our

25
00:02:32,808 --> 00:02:35,800
neighbor's house and had some
quesadillas.

26
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,400
And some, some queso dip that I
smoked on the on, the good old

27
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Weber in the backyard this
afternoon, so it was a pretty

28
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,300
full day.
But I've been in the Sun a lot,

29
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:48,600
so I can really use some sleep
myself.

30
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:50,900
Oh, yeah, everybody check out
bronze.

31
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,100
He, I don't know if you post it
on Twitter, but you sent me a

32
00:02:53,108 --> 00:02:56,800
picture that Uh, stuff you were
doing that, and I jokingly said

33
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,700
to Brian, dude, we were
recording tonight.

34
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:01,000
Can you eat all that?
You're going to be like food,

35
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,200
coma, not going to be able to do
anything?

36
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,600
Yeah, we did some similar
yesterday.

37
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,500
Kim's brother older, brother
birthday, was this weekend, so,

38
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:11,400
we went over their house in
order two pizzas.

39
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,200
Let the kids Frolic in the
backyard, which was again, a

40
00:03:15,208 --> 00:03:18,700
little more normal type stuff,
and you're not a corset, but

41
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:22,500
more normal and obviously the
baseball stuff, more normal but

42
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:30,700
overall size Weekend back to the
grind tomorrow so now you back

43
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:33,900
to the office tomorrow or that
later this week we're still

44
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:37,100
holding off, it's probably going
to be either later this week or

45
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:42,600
Monday of next week got it.
I've done all the the re

46
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,700
onboarding stuff so now I'm just
kind of waiting for the green

47
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:49,000
light three.
All morning.

48
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:51,300
Don't wash your hands
constantly.

49
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:53,800
Don't put your fingers in your
mouth like that.

50
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Comments, like you're sitting
there like, I mean, the common

51
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,900
sense stuff, every human being
that's of age, should know.

52
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,900
Sure.
All right.

53
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,800
Well, the guys today, what we're
going to hit as our main show

54
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,100
topic is we're going to do some
ACC offseason Recaps.

55
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,400
Today, we're looking at the ones
we don't play.

56
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:19,200
So, but before we get into all
that, we obviously it's been a

57
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,600
little while since we have
recorded.

58
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,300
So definitely some news has come
down the pipe and And let's

59
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:26,800
start with the bad before we
get.

60
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,900
Yeah, it's not all good news,
ladies and gentlemen, we had, we

61
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:35,300
had another one jump off the
boat as it were but we're but

62
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:37,500
were you really surprised?
He jumped off the boat?

63
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:41,400
We were no no, we're talking
about Latrell Neville here and

64
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,400
we're talking about a guy that
mostly got in the boat because

65
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,500
Demetrius Davis was in the boat
and even though we got the, you

66
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:56,400
know, I'm committed to To to my
verbal statement about three

67
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,800
weeks ago.
I was like, yeah, he does, I'll

68
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,900
take your word for it right now,
but I'm gonna pretty much say

69
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,500
you got one foot out the door
until I see some more

70
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,200
solidifying evidence.
So and unfortunately that never

71
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,900
came to pass and it looks like,
you know, EGD committed and it

72
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:20,700
looks like that it seems
Nebraska's the team that's

73
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:23,200
really making the biggest push
right now, which puts him a

74
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,800
little closer.
Sir to whom but not exactly what

75
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,400
you would call his backyard
either.

76
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:35,500
He ain't going to Oklahoma
Oklahoma State Baylor TCU, he's

77
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:38,800
not going to those programs
within a two, three-hour Drive,

78
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,400
526 up in Oklahoma.
But you know what?

79
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,500
You got to do, what you feel is
best for you.

80
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,100
You know, I know some people go
with kids pretty hard when they

81
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,000
D commit.
Yeah, be emotionally invested.

82
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,600
But no, again, we don't know
everything behind the scenes

83
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,300
with this guy.
You know, it could have been the

84
00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:58,700
DD thing and other things could
have changed in his life that we

85
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:02,600
don't know about.
So yeah, again, everybody who

86
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,600
goes after these kids on
Twitter, when they become it,

87
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,500
don't don't, they're 17 year,
old kids think of yourself as

88
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:11,500
seventeen-year-old.
I'm sure some of you didn't know

89
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:14,300
your head from a hole in the
ground, and we're making

90
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:16,800
decisions these kids are doing
the same.

91
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,800
So, let's go with that.
But Brian from this, I kind of

92
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,400
look at it.
I mean, do you think Texas to VT

93
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,800
history?
When we say Texas to vtb in

94
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,700
history, I think yes.
In terms of it being a Big

95
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:35,500
Splash in every recruiting class
or signing for Five Guys, and

96
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:39,100
every recruiting class.
I don't, I think that was over

97
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:42,100
height by the fans and over
height by members of the

98
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:45,900
coaching staff because it was a
big deal when we started getting

99
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,700
some of these guys in the boat.
So I get that, you know,

100
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:53,700
sometimes height becomes Your
Own Worst Enemy, and I think

101
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:57,900
that's What happened here is
that everybody saw, you know, we

102
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:00,900
had the commitment from the
defensive ends and the 2020

103
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:04,200
class and then D committing, and
then all of a sudden you got

104
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:06,700
Neverland there in about two or
three other guys that were

105
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:09,000
really given us a serious look
in that area.

106
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,400
And all of a sudden, you're
like, okay, well there's

107
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,000
something behind here, but I
think if this is going to turn

108
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,100
out more like what we do in
Florida, especially in like the

109
00:07:19,108 --> 00:07:23,500
Delray Beach in Jacksonville
area, then some sort of like,

110
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,500
Ray and uproot meant from from
Texas, and transplanting those

111
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:31,800
guys in Blacksburg.
I don't think we're going to

112
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,000
see, see that degree, where we
got a third of our of our class

113
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,500
made up of these, you know,
Texas Tech sakuma guys, but I

114
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:43,200
think you're going to see, you
know, two to three maybe per

115
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,500
class.
I think that's a reasonable ask,

116
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:49,800
especially if you're not talking
about high-profile, Texas town.

117
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,800
If you're talking about more
like the the low for High 3

118
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,900
Guys, that were kind of looking
at already pulling in like Alec

119
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:04,200
Bryant so that's my take on it.
Yeah.

120
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,500
And it's out of the way but the
way you put it was the movement

121
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:09,900
was very hyped to the Moon
because we got two glasses in

122
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:12,900
one class.
Then we picked up a couple more

123
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:15,000
and it was like people were just
shooting it through the moon,

124
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,600
you saw the tunnel on social
media but I like yeah I think

125
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,000
you know I think some of the
coaches did did a may be a

126
00:08:24,008 --> 00:08:29,200
little bit premature job of once
they saw how it was playing with

127
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,900
the fans jumping on that.
And I think that created maybe a

128
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:35,700
little bit more height than was
needed.

129
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:39,700
And then, you know, you also got
to look at the fact that you had

130
00:08:39,700 --> 00:08:41,900
these guys in the boat and you
weren't able to keep them.

131
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:45,300
So there's gonna be some
criticism of staff there that.

132
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,000
You know, if you can get them to
commit, why can't you, you know,

133
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,800
keep them in the Well, let me
ask this then.

134
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,000
Let me ask this because we say,
is it almond coaching staff blew

135
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,700
it?
Dude, how much you think that

136
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:57,300
pandemic?
Cause there was this just an

137
00:08:57,300 --> 00:08:58,700
excuse?
Is it like?

138
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:03,400
This is true, we couldn't die.
Hate to see campus, to really

139
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:09,800
keep them like all night rain,
or just Coaching staff is

140
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,700
losing, they stink at closing on
guys?

141
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:15,800
What do you think?
Because you know you know my

142
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,900
feelings I think you kind of
threw a huge curveball and how

143
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:22,200
we were going to do things
starting March really what was

144
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,800
gonna be the dead Peter?
What did fear is going to start

145
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,800
in may normally right?
Yeah yeah I think the big thing

146
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,900
is that you weren't able to get
yeah just looking at the way

147
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:35,100
some of these commitments have
come through I think we were

148
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:40,100
looking at a major march/april
push Push to get guys in the

149
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,200
boat and I think the pandemic
completely through that for a

150
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,700
loop and I think initially it
played in our favor because we

151
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:50,100
already did have good position
with a lot of those guys, but I

152
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:54,300
think as time wore on it became
a problem.

153
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:58,500
So I'm not saying that the
pandemic is the reason we lost

154
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:03,000
those kids, but I think pandemic
definitely played a role in that

155
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,200
because did, you know, we had
very positive momentum at the

156
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,800
beginning of the pandemic.
Then we had about a four week

157
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,800
long, we're kind of nothing
happened and in that nothing

158
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,800
happening is when, you know, DB
went radio silence and then

159
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:23,300
obviously we knew that there was
going to be some collateral

160
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:27,900
damage from that D commitment
just because of how much hype

161
00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:31,500
was behind his his coming to
Virginia Tech and how much hype

162
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:32,500
was behind.
Okay.

163
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:37,000
Well and and and to I'll put
this on the staff a little bit

164
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,300
to some of it was a little bit
too.

165
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:41,000
Too much come play with Didi and
some point.

166
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,700
Yeah, he can't just type one
guys.

167
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:46,400
Being the centerpiece, you
gotta, you know, build the

168
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,500
entire recruiting class absent
of everybody else that you're

169
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:55,000
getting in. 100% on that hundred
percent.

170
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,400
I think it was definitely a
factor.

171
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,700
I don't think it's, I think it
was a major factor, you know.

172
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,900
But again, they cannot use it as
an excuse because it happened to

173
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:06,900
every, yeah, absolutely.
It should it should, it should

174
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:09,200
have changed your game plan of
how you were going to recruit

175
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,900
these guys make the point about
them really pushing it.

176
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:20,000
DD we had way just from you, do
you know, published and stuff

177
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
like that, but we don't know how
things were behind the scene.

178
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:26,100
Know how much it was to push to
get to come into play with him.

179
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:30,000
We definitely feel like Latrell
was but you know, it is what it

180
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,800
is.
The pandemic is what it is.

181
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,200
Think the NCAA is really
screwing up right now by

182
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,900
continuing to end the dead
periods when you got States

183
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:44,200
reopening schools are starting
to reopen and just like I know

184
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,900
that period that period.
It's like why guys I don't get

185
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:49,600
it but you know I think well I
think me and you might tackle

186
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,500
that another day but Brian,
yeah.

187
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:55,000
I mean I think it's going to
create some problems with the

188
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,400
Dead period.
Keep getting.

189
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,600
You push back.
Push back, push back.

190
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,500
Because at some point, you know,
we're not going to be able to

191
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,200
even understand what the
recruiting is going to look like

192
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,100
because you're going to be back
in the season again.

193
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:13,700
So you're essentially have
what's a almost zero offseason,

194
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:18,100
recruiting period, which, you
know, is a completely different

195
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:23,500
animal, especially rolling.
Right into the early signing

196
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:26,300
period right after the regular
season, wraps up, I think it's

197
00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:28,900
going to be really, really hard.
And I think we're going to see

198
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:34,100
some major D commitments.
And some major guys up for That

199
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:36,400
we thought we already had a pet
at home.

200
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:39,700
Oh yeah.
I already told you my thought.

201
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:44,900
I think once that thing breaks I
think you're going to have a

202
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:46,900
week where there's gonna be 100
plus kids become it.

203
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,700
I think it's going to be that
fast and furious because the

204
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:56,500
kids going to go visit a school
and be like, what was I saw and

205
00:12:56,500 --> 00:12:59,800
he's gonna leave get on his
plane.

206
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:11,400
And then say yeah oops I think
you're going to see that but

207
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,600
Brian uses an old bad man over
the last couple weeks here since

208
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,800
me.
And you last, you know, how to

209
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,300
show.
We got a European commit from

210
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:26,900
germ or from Germany, by the
way, or from Serbia, by way of

211
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:30,500
Germany, Daniel Miller Tech or
Danielle minutes.

212
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,800
Yeah, yeah, Deutschland to VT
DT.

213
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,600
There we go.
They got hit some things.

214
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,600
You like.
What do you see from this guy?

215
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:43,500
Yeah, I think the big thing that
you're looking at here is that

216
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,000
he's got a good, a good punch
and I think he, you know, he's

217
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:51,800
one of the papers showing him at
tackle but I think he's going to

218
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,100
be a more natural fit as a guard
looking at some of his past

219
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,600
sets, it's a little bit
shallower than you'd like to see

220
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,100
for a tackle but he moved Speak.
Well, I'm not sure the degree of

221
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:05,700
competition.
He was going against obviously

222
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:09,800
looking at some of the European
guys there, but in terms of just

223
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,600
having the mechanics and having
the sighs, he's got both of

224
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,700
those things.
So hopefully that that's

225
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:20,200
something that we can work with
because you know the biggest

226
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,500
thing is you can't you can't
teach size and it's nice that he

227
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:27,500
already has a lot of those
fundamentals kind of down in

228
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:30,200
terms of past Pro which is going
to be the bigger part.

229
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:33,100
Because that's the harder thing
to teach.

230
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:36,700
Absolutely.
Also the guy who was working

231
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:40,100
with him, they sort of turned
him on to us Paul Alexander

232
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,200
longtime NFL 0 line.
Coach shout out sons of Saturday

233
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,500
with their interview with him
and he's straight up said, he

234
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:51,300
said, if this kid was Stateside,
he would be a four star or maybe

235
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:54,500
a five star because of the size
and like, you talked about.

236
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,800
He's already got a lot of really
good technique.

237
00:14:57,500 --> 00:15:00,700
We don't know the competition.
But you know, from listening to

238
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:02,900
that, Interview.
And they did a great job with

239
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:04,900
Paul.
But Paul tells you all of those

240
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:09,300
places they have leaks so it's
obviously not the standard of

241
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:11,900
the NFL.
So, again, he's been coached by

242
00:15:11,900 --> 00:15:13,900
Paul.
He's probably seen it played.

243
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:17,600
He's probably seeing the NFL and
it's one of those things where

244
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:20,800
sometimes you just take a risk
and this is one of those classes

245
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,400
where you can dice roll this.
You know this isn't Last year by

246
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,900
any means because we didn't have
any spots last year.

247
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:30,600
This year.
We basically Go full boat.

248
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,600
And it's like, take the risk.
He's already built.

249
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:37,700
At least him coming in.
We don't have to worry about

250
00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:41,300
him, putting on 30 40 pounds to
play at the Collegiate level.

251
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,000
He's already 290 Pounds.
He's already six foot, three and

252
00:15:44,008 --> 00:15:46,300
a half.
He's got the body to do it.

253
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:50,900
Let's just see if he can do it.
Yep, so yeah.

254
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,100
So let's have a little fun here.
Brian, before we get to one more

255
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:57,700
Source, series tile before we
hit this topic for today.

256
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:00,500
You follow that closer than I
did.

257
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:04,700
Yes I did.
I followed it a lot closer than

258
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:06,800
you did.
I think I was I was really all

259
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,900
over it so I don't know if you
guys know but Virginia Tech is

260
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:18,100
now football national champions.
We have the most recent

261
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:23,200
football, national championship
in the sport right now, we took

262
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,400
down Doug's.
We took down Tennessee, gz.

263
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:35,100
They held in the Rose Bowl.
Absolutely, dude, you have a

264
00:16:35,108 --> 00:16:42,300
crush them, three scores.
It was awesome to see the social

265
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:46,200
media presence.
Barstool is the biggest

266
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,600
independent brand out there in
sports media.

267
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,300
They really.
They don't care what they, they

268
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:53,000
don't care your take on them.
Nope.

269
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,400
They say what they want to say,
ask Norm.

270
00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:01,300
Would what happened shredded and
he gained no followers.

271
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:06,000
But he got tons of hits and he
got ratio to death, but it was

272
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,400
fun to see, but you gotta you
gotta kick her again.

273
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,900
Upon her.
Named after him digital putter,

274
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,599
which was awesome.
I mean, you know, if I could be

275
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,000
a bit of a Barstool joke and
they named a player after me.

276
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:18,800
What I do it.
Yes.

277
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:22,400
Yes, partly yes.
Because they're hilarious.

278
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,400
But the one big thing man that
disappointed me in.

279
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,100
You was our social media, just
didn't push it.

280
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:33,600
It was just like, dude, you're
in a dead period of sports.

281
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,900
People are following this guy
watching them, you know, 70 80,

282
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:41,900
100, thousand views, And we get
a few tweaks out of it versus

283
00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:44,300
really, you know, Jordan with
them.

284
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:48,800
Yeah there was no, there was a
media blitz, we had you know the

285
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,000
initial clap back by the account
and then you know once the game

286
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,600
was going on it looked like we
had some sort of thanks flap

287
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,400
together to, you know, celebrate
the fact that we took the win

288
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,600
there but there wasn't a whole
lot in the lead-up and I think,

289
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:09,900
you know, that's about a 48-hour
period that you had Had to put

290
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:13,400
something together and just
nothing really came out and I

291
00:18:13,408 --> 00:18:15,800
was really kind of disappointed
in what?

292
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,400
Yeah, and just just I guess not
having fun with it.

293
00:18:19,408 --> 00:18:21,500
I mean it was I don't think it's
going to necessarily move the

294
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:26,200
recruiting needle progress but,
you know, it was just something

295
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,900
to increase our visibility and,
you know, show that our brand

296
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:35,100
can be fun and be in on the joke
and things like that.

297
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:37,100
I mean, that that that's an
endearing quality.

298
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:40,900
I mean, I think we had that Type
of brand already but we don't

299
00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:43,300
show it enough.
I think we're very laced up and

300
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:46,700
I think that's a some of the
criticism that I think the staff

301
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:49,800
gets and the administration gets
is that sometimes we don't just

302
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,900
show her fun side.
It's true.

303
00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:54,500
Now I get the I get the staff
not want to share their fun

304
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:57,500
side, but the administration
like this was your opportunity.

305
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:03,300
This was your opportunity for
the, basically, the VT football,

306
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,800
Twitter.
Brand to go out there and have

307
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,600
fun with essentially.
I think Bar stools.

308
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,000
At 2.3 million.
Twitter followers.

309
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,200
Big cats at a million dogs is
like it 90,000.

310
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,200
Some of their other guys are in
the half Millions.

311
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:21,600
It's like it's eyes and people
know about salmon.

312
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,600
We're, you know, we're not your
host, a, your Michigan's, but we

313
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,600
still in the last 20 years.
Have a national brand and it's

314
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,500
like, here's your opportunity
seized upon it because what

315
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:35,900
happens if Barstool and this is
just my hypothetical thing, we

316
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:38,400
have phones Barstool, we screw
around with the next thing they

317
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,900
want to know is Hey, we love to
come up with the Penn State

318
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:44,700
game.
The real fight there.

319
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:49,500
Once again, you're missing an
opportunity there so but still a

320
00:19:49,508 --> 00:19:52,400
lot of fun.
Well, nothing else.

321
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,200
We could have sold some t-shirts
off of it.

322
00:19:58,500 --> 00:20:02,200
Yeah he stamp on his big head so
it just it just felt like a

323
00:20:02,208 --> 00:20:03,300
little bit of a missed
opportunity.

324
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:05,500
I mean I don't think any
anyone's going to make a big

325
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:08,300
deal out of it, but it
definitely is an opportunity

326
00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:12,100
missed absolutely Brian 21.
Let's hit before we hit our

327
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:15,800
normal.
A thing, the last piece I've got

328
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,000
on here.
I want to touch on is going to

329
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,000
be the summer and fall practice,
calendar.

330
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:25,200
All right.
If they expect a camp.

331
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:28,100
Yeah.
And that thing, gotta prove this

332
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:31,800
week by the NCAA committee, so
it's pretty much, unless, unless

333
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,100
a lot of people come back
against it, which who's going to

334
00:20:34,108 --> 00:20:37,300
come back against this, you're
looking at six weeks of Camp

335
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,500
right now. 25 starting June,
first 25 calendars.

336
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,900
Jerry virtual activities.
Then the summer access, the

337
00:20:46,900 --> 00:20:49,300
athletes are going to get eight
hours of weight training

338
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,500
conditioning film review.
No more than two hours a week

339
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,800
that's roughly.
Going to be mid-july up until

340
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,800
the 23rd of July and then you're
looking at the preseason, what

341
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,200
you're calling the two extra
weeks of Camp run going to be,

342
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,000
you know, pretty much.
Let's see here, 20 hours a week,

343
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:13,300
eight hours of weight training
up to one hour Hour a day for

344
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:16,200
walkthroughs.
One hour day for meetings, two

345
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,700
days required during this off,
this is going to be starting

346
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:22,300
Late July into early August
going right into the normal

347
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:25,400
preseason activity.
Dude, I read about it.

348
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:29,100
I'm happy.
This is happening for a couple

349
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:32,700
reasons.
One, we miss Spring ball.

350
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,100
We're getting a chance to get
the guys in those meeting rooms

351
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:44,200
and get some live action going
on before into, It just gets the

352
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,600
gas back on campus and starts
assimilating quicker, you know,

353
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,800
whether than rather than the
normal.

354
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,900
Well, you know, we're going to
do voluntary work outs and then

355
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:54,400
we're going to start camp in
August.

356
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:58,400
I think what this shows this is
going to be the model because

357
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,100
I'm going to tell you, I think
those coaches and be like we're

358
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:02,600
going to do this again next
year, right?

359
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,600
Well absolutely, I mean I think
you know you see some of this,

360
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,900
usually like the first, you
know, those two weeks that were

361
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:11,900
adding here is essentially what
you usually get.

362
00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:16,500
Like the First three to five
days of us of a spring practice.

363
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:19,300
So you getting an extra, you
know, two weeks of that

364
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:23,200
essentially here since you
missed that installation period.

365
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:27,400
Now, you're not going to get the
same live action and spring game

366
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:35,500
game time type access, but you
are getting a lot of a lot of

367
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:38,000
time for that installation of
new things and that's going to

368
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,500
be key for us, especially on the
defensive side of the ball with

369
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:44,900
some of the things that The J
Hamm is going to be bringing to

370
00:22:44,908 --> 00:22:47,900
the table that are going to
differ from what but Foster did.

371
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:51,600
So I'm really hoping that we can
take advantage of this time and

372
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,600
you know, if you can watch film
all day and you can have

373
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,300
meetings and you can look at it
Playbook but it's, you know,

374
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:02,600
walkthrough still County seeing
it happen on the field.

375
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,900
Even not at full speed or even
close to full speed that's going

376
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:09,400
to help these guys.
So I'm really excited that

377
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,700
they're adding that in there for
our purposes because Because I

378
00:23:12,708 --> 00:23:15,800
think at least on the defensive
side of the ball, we need that

379
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:20,100
time for installation.
Not just, you know, getting back

380
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,400
into game shape and things like
that.

381
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:25,000
What about the other piece I
thought about?

382
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,600
Do you think the, the coaching
staff, the athletic departments

383
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,300
are going to push the new too
weak to say, hey, we need this

384
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:34,700
going in because if we have
these two weeks, we're going to

385
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:40,400
have less strings, less pulled
hamstrings, less minor ailments

386
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,200
where, when we go full bore
starting August.

387
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:45,000
We have these two weeks leading
up, we're going to do some

388
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,700
walkthroughs.
We're able to do some physical

389
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:49,200
conditioning.
This is going to essentially

390
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,900
it's going to help the student
athlete avoid injury, during the

391
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:55,600
preseason camp.
Do you think they're going to

392
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,500
push it and say, we need this
every year?

393
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,800
I think the push for it.
I think they might end up

394
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,600
getting one week instead of to
which, which I think would be

395
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,800
okay, which puts, you know, kids
getting back, your full bore a

396
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,000
week earlier.
So you're talking about last 3

397
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,500
to 4, Days of of July.
In most cases kids showing back

398
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:20,800
up to campus having a week where
you're restricted and what you

399
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:26,600
can do, you know, before you
start those true preseason fall

400
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,200
camp activities.
So I think that would be

401
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,700
something that that would
happen.

402
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:33,300
That's likely I'm not sure if
they're going to get two weeks.

403
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:38,000
I think that's something that is
probably going to stay in this

404
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,400
one pandemic filled year, but I
think They'll push for it and I

405
00:24:43,408 --> 00:24:45,800
think they might get one week
and I think that would be a good

406
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,400
thing for for everybody.
Absolutely 100%.

407
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:52,100
All right folks, well, let's get
into it here.

408
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:58,000
So today we are doing a cc round
up the Unseen enemy.

409
00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:00,100
The ones we don't play this
year.

410
00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:03,200
So today what we're going to be
doing is talking about some All

411
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:10,000
Season pieces of Clemson, FSU
Wake Forest, NC State and

412
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Syracuse obviously all over.
Over in the Atlantic division,

413
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,400
we're looking at six key
elements here today.

414
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,300
The number of returning
starters, their key departures.

415
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,700
Looking at the three most
impactful recruiting class

416
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:28,800
rankings coaching changes and
then the key returning starters

417
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,200
and Brian's favorite the
emerging Talent.

418
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:36,500
So Brian, I mean is it any doubt
who we're going to start with?

419
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,100
We're going to start.
We have to start with Clemson

420
00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:43,100
and I'm going to be honest
Curtis Clemson is a team that

421
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:47,000
will probably play this year
because I see us winning the

422
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,100
coastal buddy.
All right, but we're talking

423
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:53,900
regular season here.
So I'll say, Clemson is not a

424
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:55,700
team.
We play yet.

425
00:25:55,700 --> 00:25:58,500
Got it.
All right, Clemson last year.

426
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:00,600
All right, so I'm gonna run it
down this way.

427
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,200
So let's start with the
graduating guys.

428
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:10,400
So, let's just take a moment and
reflect on what this graduating

429
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,500
class experience.
And we're talking about seniors

430
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:20,200
that had one home loss in four
years for ACC titles for college

431
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,100
football, playoff trips, and two
national titles.

432
00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:30,800
As a lot of experience, man, gz,
G zloty.

433
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:33,200
All right.
Oh yeah.

434
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:35,100
I mean, clearly creme de La
Creme.

435
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:37,900
They are 14 one last year old
fashioned, okay?

436
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:43,200
They lost some guys, did, I'm
sure you go kill a few going to

437
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,800
be most hurting to them but
overall look at them.

438
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,900
Brian.
The only they're returning 11

439
00:26:47,900 --> 00:26:51,200
starters both often billion
defense but which is believe it

440
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,900
or not, you hear that.
It's like it's not terrible.

441
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:57,600
I mean it's not terrible,
considering the amount of talent

442
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,100
they are losing.
Now I'll just going to run down

443
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:04,900
like graduating seniors, so
they've got, we'll start with

444
00:27:04,908 --> 00:27:07,600
the guys that got drafted.
So we're talking Tanner Muse,

445
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,200
and drafting the third round.
And Kevon Wallace drafting the

446
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:16,500
fourth John Simpson, drafted in
the fourth and Tremaine Ingram.

447
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:20,000
Sorry drafter them seventh.
So those are the four guys from

448
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,800
the graduating class that were
drafted.

449
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,600
But there's a lot of other guys
in that, in those graduates that

450
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,500
you saw a decent amount of
playing time.

451
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:31,700
So, let's run them down.
We got Chad, Smith, gates are

452
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:37,000
Vanka, Denzel Johnson, Patrick
fibs, jail Banks, Stephen

453
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,000
sawicki, Shawn Dollar DeAndre
Overton and Brian Dawkins

454
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,100
Junior.
But we had three other guys that

455
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:50,800
departed early in this in this
Clemson team from last year from

456
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,700
2019.
Oh yeah, that's a big one.

457
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:55,700
Those guys, those are some
studs.

458
00:27:55,700 --> 00:28:00,200
So we got first round talents,
Isaiah Simmons linebacker.

459
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,300
Drafted in the first round and
quarterback.

460
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:07,900
AJ Tyrell, also drafted in the
first round and in the second

461
00:28:07,900 --> 00:28:10,000
round wide.
Seaver T hiccups.

462
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:17,400
And you know those are some big
time players that left early so

463
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,200
and they were expecting a couple
more Big Time Players to leave

464
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,600
early and they ended up staying,
but we'll get to that later.

465
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,600
So what do you think about these
departure so far Curtis?

466
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,200
Well, the departures the big one
I see for them is they lost four

467
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,400
on the offensive line, which is
big, but with Clemson and I'm

468
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,300
gonna put it on the recruiting
rankings in a minute here.

469
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,300
They're putting the talent back
in.

470
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,200
Now I'm going to ask you this.
Yeah of those three big guys.

471
00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:49,100
Two rails of shutdown Corner.
Higgins big body wide receiver

472
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,900
jump out the bill and go get the
ball from people and Simmons.

473
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:57,000
Who do you feel is the piece?
They're going to miss it.

474
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:00,100
Luckily, for you, you get both
sides of the ball so you get to

475
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,700
choose where you feel like it.
They're going to see the most

476
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:09,500
impactful guy leaving.
So that's the big thing.

477
00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:16,000
So, you know, when I look at it,
I think their offense is

478
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,100
probably going to be the hardest
to replace and mainly it's

479
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:23,400
because of those those linemen
that are departing.

480
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:29,200
You know, we you got you got two
big ones in there with anchormen

481
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,600
Simpson but you also had your
Pollard and cervenka.

482
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,500
So those guys play your role as
well.

483
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:38,400
So I think that's going to Be
the hardest thing to replace for

484
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,000
them is I know they've got a
couple guys that I want to talk

485
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,900
about here in a little bit
coming in and stepping into

486
00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:47,600
these roles.
But I think the offensive line

487
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,500
is going to be the thing to look
at the most because while they

488
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:56,100
keep putting getting guys in,
you know, Clemson hasn't always

489
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:59,200
been known for those big-time
lineman.

490
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,100
And I think the fact that they
had a couple of those guys in

491
00:30:03,100 --> 00:30:05,600
this this class.
Yeah.

492
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,100
I think that's going to be an
area that might hurt.

493
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,200
Absolutely, man.
Well, Brian, I sit here and I

494
00:30:10,208 --> 00:30:13,300
think about it.
You know, you really don't worry

495
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:17,200
about them too much because did
the recruiting classes have?

496
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,900
Kind of been insane for them?
This is, I'm going back to 2017.

497
00:30:20,900 --> 00:30:23,800
First of all, the above that
class Higgins and Tyrell are

498
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,700
gone, did we forget Travis Duty
and is returning that class into

499
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:31,700
2017 was the number 16 ranked
class.

500
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,200
You look at 2018 where you see,
probably this is the year more

501
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,700
guys are going to make impacts.
They were the number 7 and other

502
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:42,700
small class 17 commits.
That was the Trevor class and

503
00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:46,500
then 2019 was 10.
So you know, it's not out of

504
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:49,800
this world there in the top five
every year but we know the way

505
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,400
they recruit, we know the weight
they look for Fitz.

506
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,100
They've got a lot of good guys
on this roster.

507
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:57,500
Still.
I mean you might see some jumps.

508
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:02,000
I think the Justin Ross thing
being out going to be just as

509
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,500
impactful because I mean you saw
what he did when he was a

510
00:31:04,508 --> 00:31:07,100
freshman in that national
championship game.

511
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:10,600
Against Alabama.
He literally ate them alive as a

512
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,400
freshman.
Yeah.

513
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,700
So that's the way I kind of see
it there but Brian, the one

514
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:19,600
other piece I told you I was
going to get on and I feel like

515
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,800
this is big so before we get
into the players because I know

516
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,500
you really want to get into the
keys on that, I want to hit the

517
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:28,900
coaching changes because this is
big for me and I don't know if

518
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:33,100
we saw it in those last couple
games, but they weren't quite

519
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:37,000
clicking like they were and just
got who was the wide receiver.

520
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,300
Coach the co-offensive
coordinator, he left, he took

521
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,400
down at UCF, he's replaced by
Tyler Grisham.

522
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,100
He takes over the wide receiver
role and you talked about it

523
00:31:46,108 --> 00:31:51,700
grisham's been there long The ga
he did analyst work for him, so

524
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:54,700
he's probably a very good with
the culture of the Playbook, how

525
00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:58,000
they like to do things so that
maybe a can.

526
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,800
But it's gonna be interesting,
Coney Island because he is now,

527
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:07,800
the o.c. entitled self and
although he was known as the

528
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,900
overall play caller, did some
research.

529
00:32:10,900 --> 00:32:14,500
And I found a graphic back from
15 and tell me if you don't find

530
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:16,700
this interesting.
And I want to hear your opinion

531
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,800
from a guy who coached him play,
About how it could screw up.

532
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,800
You're ready to hear it go 15.
It kind of broke down like this.

533
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,300
Tunk Jeff Scott called the first
and second down pass plays along

534
00:32:30,300 --> 00:32:35,000
with any third down and long
while Elliot primarily did the

535
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,100
first and second down run plays
and he was primarily responsible

536
00:32:39,100 --> 00:32:42,600
for ride receiver, or she has me
running back block protections

537
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,500
for blitzes.
So let me ask you this bronze

538
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,800
Tony.
Now has to worry about first and

539
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,300
second down passing, please, he
has to worry about third and

540
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:55,000
Long's along with all of his
other.

541
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,400
At ease, you saw in that game
against Ohio State, it took them

542
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,400
a while to get going and you saw
against LSU, it looked like

543
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,900
they're getting ready to do and
then just kind of floundered now

544
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,200
is that cuz cuz Jeff was still
there, helping them out, but

545
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:14,900
tell me what your biggest thing
is about him.

546
00:33:14,900 --> 00:33:17,200
Going from that list
responsibilities to now it's all

547
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:22,500
his Yeah, I think that's going
to be a big thing to watch

548
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,800
because I think as you said
something with the passing game,

549
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,900
just wasn't quite hitting the
way it normally does.

550
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:35,000
I think the running game is
going to be fine?

551
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,500
I think that's that's especially
that's a wheelhouse.

552
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,100
But I think acclimating to the
Feelin, the flow of what what

553
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:46,100
those passing game is going to
look like both from that

554
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:49,500
perspective and from from
working Tyler in as the the full

555
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:52,700
time wide receiver coach, it
might have just been something

556
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:55,500
where there wasn't enough mesh
time between when those

557
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:57,800
decisions were made and then
when you had to play the game,

558
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:02,400
you know, so an offseason might
do that wonders but that's

559
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,300
definitely something to watch
because obviously it looks like

560
00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:09,400
something wasn't quite jiving by
the time they got to the

561
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,900
playoffs and you know, you
needed some heroics from From

562
00:34:13,900 --> 00:34:17,000
Lawrence in the the game against
Ohio State and then, you know,

563
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,800
it just, they never quite seem
like they got over the hump or

564
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,900
into the groove of the game
against LSU.

565
00:34:22,900 --> 00:34:26,300
You know, they were playing
well, but they were just kind of

566
00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:29,699
always at arm's length and I
think you haven't been used to

567
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:31,400
seeing a Clemson team play like
that.

568
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,600
So it'll be interesting.
If they can get things ironed

569
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,800
out over the all.
Not at all, not at all.

570
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,600
It's going to be very
interesting with them.

571
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,000
All right, dude.
These I'm going I wrote to you

572
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,100
now, give me some of your key
returning starters for this

573
00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:52,600
Clemson Tiger team.
All right.

574
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,900
Key returning starters.
So obviously the big one here

575
00:34:55,900 --> 00:34:57,200
we're talking about is going to
be trouble.

576
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:04,500
Lawrence, you know, you followed
a true freshman campaign of 3280

577
00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:07,100
yards, 30 touchdowns of four,
interceptions, and a national

578
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:13,600
title with another 300, 3665
yards, 36 touchdowns, and eight

579
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,800
interceptions, as a sophomore,
and Clemson was back in the

580
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,500
playoff and in the national
championship.

581
00:35:18,500 --> 00:35:23,300
So, you know, this is a guy that
has the it Factor, the clutch

582
00:35:23,300 --> 00:35:26,900
Gene, all those cliche things
that people throw out about

583
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:31,500
quarterbacks and how they play
this kid's, got it, you know,

584
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,400
deceptively elusive.
I know that's probably something

585
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,900
that you apply to, you know?
Any white kid with wiggle.

586
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,300
But we saw it against Ohio
State, man.

587
00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:48,200
I mean, I don't think we knew he
was an athlete, but I don't

588
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,500
think we knew he had You know,
that type of play in him.

589
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,600
So I think that was something
that kind of stood out from his

590
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,100
sophomore campaign.
But he's the big guy returning

591
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:03,400
and he's going to be, you know,
one of those early Heisman

592
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,500
favorites going into this year.
But the guy standin either next

593
00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:09,900
to him were behind him.
Most times Travis at TN.

594
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,100
I mean, this was a kid that
everybody thought.

595
00:36:13,100 --> 00:36:18,200
Yeah, that early and decided to
come back for his senior year.

596
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,500
And now the entire ACC is sad.
Yes.

597
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,300
Because I've gotta face this
year because he was, he was

598
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:28,800
gonna, you know, this is a
Maxwell Lord.

599
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,200
Doak Walker semi-finalists in,
2019, second-team All-American,

600
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,100
and reigning.
ACC player of the year.

601
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,600
Yeah.
I mean, he's electric, but he's

602
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,400
also still a God that can carry
the load.

603
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,300
He's not a, he's not a guy that
is going to shy away from

604
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:49,100
contact or is just a guy with
some, with some wiggle that can

605
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,900
run away from people either.
So he's going to be obviously,

606
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,500
probably 11b for Trevor Lawrence
is one a, in terms of the

607
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:01,100
Firepower that they're bringing
back?

608
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,000
You know, let's talk about some
of the other guys that let's

609
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,300
talk about Nolan Turner.
So Player.

610
00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:12,800
He's the only returning safety
played some key snaps last year

611
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,100
but he was sixth on the team in
tackles and 2019 and he shared

612
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:20,000
the team lead and pass breakups.
Oh he's a guy that can make some

613
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,200
plays in the secondary so he's
going to be a guy that you want

614
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,600
to watch for.
And if we're talking about the

615
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,100
last thing I'll talk about here
is another offensive weapon that

616
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:33,800
we thought potentially could
make the NFL jump, but decided

617
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,500
to come back and that's a Marty
Rogers.

618
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,700
He's a big-time Ashell teams
player but he's also able to

619
00:37:40,700 --> 00:37:43,800
make some big plays as a wide
receiver for them which they're

620
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,500
going to need.
Now is specially with Justin

621
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:48,900
Ross being out.
He's a guy that can he's got

622
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:51,100
that quickness elusiveness in
the open field.

623
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:56,200
So having him back is going to
be key for right Braun good

624
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,800
number of players right there
that we've heard their names we

625
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,500
see them on the field who's a
guy that's going to emerge who's

626
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:07,200
a guy and we you know about this
the guy that in October we're

627
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,500
going to be talking about on
Clemson.

628
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:12,800
That maybe we didn't quite see
coming, or we thought light come

629
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:17,800
and he did come.
So the guy that I'm gonna say

630
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:22,900
this, the guy that they have to
have Step Up is Mac, bockwurst

631
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:27,700
he's their Gardens probably
going to slip into the left

632
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:32,000
guard spot that John Simpsons
occupied in 2019.

633
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:36,100
He was primarily a rotational
like the key six-man for their

634
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:41,200
line in 2019.
He took over for Simpson in, I

635
00:38:41,207 --> 00:38:46,200
think it was the f.
ASU game and he ended up grading

636
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,100
out the Highlight on the team
for that game.

637
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,100
So something Simpson went down
early in that game and he ended

638
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:54,000
up grade now pretty high.
So you know, he's got a lot of

639
00:38:54,900 --> 00:38:58,600
potential but you know, he's he
hasn't seen a whole lot of time.

640
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,200
So he's a guy that they're going
to need to step up with all

641
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,500
those interior, lineman
departing.

642
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:07,400
Another guy that they're going
to really need to step up is

643
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,200
going to be Joseph nyada, and
that's 63 215-pound wide

644
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,300
receiver.
He's going to be the guy that's

645
00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:18,100
going to step into the role.
That t Higgins had last year,

646
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,700
and so, I think that's good.
That's going to be the key.

647
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:24,200
That's going to be key to see
what Tyler Grisham can do in

648
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,000
developing his talent to be able
to step into that role.

649
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:29,400
But I mean, there's three words
to describe this guy.

650
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,200
He's big, he's strong and
explosive.

651
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:36,000
So that sounds like somebody
that might do some damage pretty

652
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:42,000
early on and another guy that
might be kind of impactful.

653
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,400
But more in a situational role
is going to be Brandon.

654
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,500
Galloway didn't play pretty much
the whole season last year

655
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:53,600
because of a banned substance
suspension saw some time in the

656
00:39:53,607 --> 00:39:57,200
college football playoff.
But I mean, this kid is sick,

657
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,400
leave or 240?
Wide receiver.

658
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,000
So I think this is a guy that's
going to be a big red zone,

659
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,800
Target for Trevor Lawrence, and
he's a guy that they'll probably

660
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,000
line up on the inside some and
just create some mismatches

661
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,600
against linebackers and
safeties.

662
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,200
That just, you know, linebackers
can't run with them and the

663
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,600
safeties can't out Muslim or
have the height on him, so he's

664
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,800
going to create some problems.
All right, so we're going to put

665
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,300
a wrap on Clemson, their
needlessly, Clemson Tigers, Is,

666
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:33,600
well, let's just say they have
things in place that probably

667
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,900
will continue to keep them
successful.

668
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:39,600
Now Brian, we're going to move
on to the Florida State.

669
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,700
Seminoles FSU made a bowl last
year but a lot of other stuff.

670
00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:50,900
So yeah, they're returning 10
starters on defense, seven

671
00:40:50,900 --> 00:40:54,300
offensive started showing total
17, starters back.

672
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:58,500
That's a lot from a team that
just barely met Bowl,

673
00:40:58,500 --> 00:41:02,400
eligibility lost in the bowl
game and then a lot of other

674
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,100
stuff happened.
So Brian, they had a couple guys

675
00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:07,800
drafted.
I think one guy I really wanted

676
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,100
for my team but we didn't take
him but get it.

677
00:41:11,500 --> 00:41:16,000
But who do you see?
As some of the big essentially

678
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,400
key departures when we talk
about FSU players man we got to

679
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,400
start of course, with Cam Akers.
Oh yeah.

680
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:30,000
Drafted in the second round,
this kind of what Is their

681
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,500
entire office last year?
It's in some games, early was

682
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:37,300
man, so that me, that's the big
piece that they're going to

683
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:40,100
replace and they're probably
going to end up doing it with

684
00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:43,600
some type of committee.
Well, I'll talk a little bit

685
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,200
more about that as we go along
here, but it's going to be

686
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,100
interesting to see what they end
up doing at that position.

687
00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:55,000
But I'm sure you have a lot to
talk about for this one, because

688
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:00,400
there's been a good deal.
Of turnover with the staff,

689
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,200
right?
Oh, buddy loves it.

690
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:08,300
Wasn't so yeah, as everybody
knows watching college football,

691
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:14,500
last year, Willie, Taggart fired
midseason and any All Season

692
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,000
Florida State.
First of all, I would like to

693
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,500
see what their boosters
checkbook look like after paying

694
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:23,900
tag it out because that was a
boatload of money.

695
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:27,500
He was owed, but they go write a
big check from Mike Norvell out

696
00:42:27,500 --> 00:42:31,300
of Memphis.
Basically, you look at Norville,

697
00:42:31,300 --> 00:42:36,300
he built, what coach Fuente, did
at Memphis success and went 38

698
00:42:36,300 --> 00:42:40,400
and 15 in his time there?
So definitely had success down

699
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,600
the AAC, including a trip to the
Cotton Bowl last year.

700
00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:48,600
You look at norville's offense
and it was described by in boy,

701
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:53,000
is this, it is like a tight and
inclusive spread offense.

702
00:42:53,500 --> 00:42:57,100
Now you know, will he's running
his Gulf Coast offense down

703
00:42:57,100 --> 00:42:59,500
there and they're different.
Get me wrong, they are.

704
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,000
But I don't think Mike is going
to have a steepest.

705
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,500
Curve is really did coming from
Jimbo's more.

706
00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:08,800
Pro-style offense.
Now, I'm going to tell you

707
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,000
something, what Norville did
Brian this might be a shocker to

708
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,700
you.
Okay, listen to how Norville

709
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:18,000
broke down.
First of all, Norville kept to

710
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,600
holdovers from Willie staff.
One was Odell Hagan's, Odo

711
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:26,900
Hagan's has been at FSU forever,
was there with Bobby there

712
00:43:26,900 --> 00:43:29,800
Jimbo?
Get on Duggan's, the wide

713
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,400
receiver code so defensive line
in the wide receiver coach.

714
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:40,300
Norville only brought two of his
coaches from Memphis to wow.

715
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,000
Yeah.
And so the other guys it is a

716
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:49,100
you know There's additional
seven guys that he brought from

717
00:43:49,100 --> 00:43:52,300
all over the place, man.
And these are guys with D1

718
00:43:52,900 --> 00:43:56,100
coordinate or Jimmy D, one
position coaches and their

719
00:43:56,100 --> 00:43:59,800
backgrounds.
So hate to say this but when I

720
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:04,900
kind of look at Justin Fuente
Justin Fuente held on to what

721
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:09,400
bud Charlie.
And at that point, I'm touring

722
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,300
was still on staff and Zone.
He basically brought his entire

723
00:44:13,900 --> 00:44:17,200
Memphis staff when he comes
where Mike Norvell is just like,

724
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:20,100
no, no, I want these guys who
coaches a deal.

725
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,900
Pretty wild.
Now for Norville, he's off.

726
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,300
Alec man here, these numbers In
class.

727
00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:33,200
So essentially the senior class
this year, there were the number

728
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:40,600
6, rated 24/7, recruiting class.
The 2018 class was 11 in 2019

729
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:46,000
class was 18 that was after the
whole Jimbo fire and Willie

730
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:51,500
coming in everything.
So he's got some talent and, you

731
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:54,900
know, I'm going to be interested
to see how it works down there,

732
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,400
if there's going to be any
Growing, Pains the first year,

733
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,100
but you look how he built.
His coaching staff, he wasn't

734
00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:05,800
going with familiarity couple
guys who coached with, but he

735
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:11,000
was going with d 1 proven, guys,
and kind of like that move.

736
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,100
Now, that's going to be
interesting to see how those

737
00:45:14,100 --> 00:45:19,500
guys mesh because we obviously
know that the talent is there.

738
00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:23,200
We know these guys can coach,
but just because guys can coach

739
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,700
doesn't mean it's going to be a
good fit in that things are

740
00:45:25,700 --> 00:45:29,500
gonna work together the way that
they're that they should on.

741
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,900
Paper either.
Everything looks good on paper

742
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,000
for what they can do there,
especially with nor well at the

743
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,700
helm on paper, that that staff
looks good.

744
00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:42,300
It'll be interesting to see how
they move forward.

745
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,200
And mash as the season goes
along, especially, you know that

746
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,000
those first couple, first,
couple hard game that they'll

747
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,900
get to in their schedule and I
don't think they're going to

748
00:45:51,900 --> 00:45:54,300
have any problem with some of
the lower-level competition.

749
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:58,000
But once they start getting to,
some of the harder teams on the

750
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,500
schedule, it'll be interesting
to see.

751
00:45:59,700 --> 00:46:04,400
Have the adjust.
Absolutely, I did tell me who's

752
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:05,900
there.
Keys coming back.

753
00:46:06,300 --> 00:46:11,500
All right, so we've got a few
big ones here.

754
00:46:11,500 --> 00:46:13,500
We'll start with the obvious
one.

755
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,000
Marvin Wilson.
Oh yeah, defensive lineman.

756
00:46:17,900 --> 00:46:22,500
This guy is a monster.
This guy is likely a first-round

757
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:25,400
draft pick, he was going to be
this year.

758
00:46:25,700 --> 00:46:29,000
He was going to be this year and
Novell was able to get him to

759
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,200
come back.
Back and try to start that

760
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,900
rebuild and I think it's paying
dividends.

761
00:46:34,900 --> 00:46:36,800
I mean, we have seen him as a
leader.

762
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:41,000
I know that it did cause some
headaches in the locker room but

763
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,200
I think once they finally got on
the same page, I think it seems

764
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,200
like they're moving forward with
some of the things, they're so

765
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,900
credit to him for both speaking
out, but also stepping up and

766
00:46:50,900 --> 00:46:54,800
being a leader and let his voice
be heard and moving past it, you

767
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,500
know, once they came to a
determination of how to do that

768
00:46:57,500 --> 00:47:01,100
so credit to him and I think
he's going to A dynamic player

769
00:47:01,100 --> 00:47:03,800
this year.
So look for big things for him.

770
00:47:04,100 --> 00:47:07,400
Talk about some other guys
tomorrow and Terry wide receiver

771
00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:10,800
other than cam.
This was the rest of the

772
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,800
offense, pretty much.
I mean, we're talking about

773
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,800
Twitter guy that had 1,200 yards
receiving and on touchdowns in

774
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,900
2019.
So when the ball was moving

775
00:47:18,900 --> 00:47:21,100
through the air, more than
likely, it was going Terry's

776
00:47:21,100 --> 00:47:22,700
way.
Oh yeah.

777
00:47:22,700 --> 00:47:25,300
And you know, lastly I'm gonna
say this on the defensive side

778
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:26,900
of the ball.
We're looking at him and rice

779
00:47:26,900 --> 00:47:29,300
linebacker.
He had 72 tackles as a junior

780
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:31,100
last.
Last year and the guy was all

781
00:47:31,100 --> 00:47:33,100
over the field making plays.
So I think you're gonna see a

782
00:47:33,107 --> 00:47:37,900
lot more coming out of him.
This year, being able to step

783
00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:42,500
into a really big leadership
role in this rebuild behind

784
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:44,500
Wilson there.
So, I think that's going to be

785
00:47:44,700 --> 00:47:48,200
be big for this this team
because they're areas of their

786
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,500
defensive look good.
But they've been just so

787
00:47:50,500 --> 00:47:55,400
inconsistent with being able to
stop the ball in the the back

788
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,500
part of the outside of the
defensive line, they've

789
00:47:57,500 --> 00:48:00,400
struggled to stop offensive.
Beyond them and they've

790
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,900
struggled to put up consistent
point, so we'll see if that can

791
00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:07,100
change.
So that's that's the big play

792
00:48:07,100 --> 00:48:08,500
guys.
Now, if we're talking about

793
00:48:08,500 --> 00:48:12,300
guys, that might step into a
more key role this year, there's

794
00:48:12,300 --> 00:48:15,500
going to be several of them.
And a lot of them are coming

795
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:20,500
from other places.
Let's talk about the about the

796
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:22,800
big one first.
So we're talking about Devonte,

797
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:28,900
love Taylor, the FIU transfer,
what's been the most glaring

798
00:48:28,900 --> 00:48:32,700
issue with Florida State in
recent years offensively

799
00:48:32,900 --> 00:48:36,700
defensive line offensive line,
they've been literally it then

800
00:48:36,700 --> 00:48:40,200
just a mess to watch them on
television.

801
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:45,300
It's just like, it's amazing
that Acres was able to do what

802
00:48:45,300 --> 00:48:47,000
he did with that offensive line.
But even more.

803
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:52,700
So, their past pro has been
horrendous, horrendous.

804
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,500
And I'm hoping, you know, fruit
for their sake at least that

805
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,500
this guy's going to be able to
step in and make some big-time

806
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,800
Persons for them.
If we're talking about cam

807
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:07,600
Akers, Replacements, we're
talking about a couple more guys

808
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:08,900
that are coming from other
places.

809
00:49:09,500 --> 00:49:13,100
So they picked up a just, Sean
Corbin from Texas A&M, that

810
00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:15,100
probably looks to get a lot of
snaps this year.

811
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:23,000
Juco transfer the Damien web.
And they've got a couple guys

812
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,300
that are kind of the the flex
type players, Corey ran and

813
00:49:26,300 --> 00:49:29,100
jacott Douglas that are probably
going to look to Make Some Noise

814
00:49:29,100 --> 00:49:31,400
as well.
Well, so those are the guys that

815
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,300
in terms of replacing the
production of Cam Akers that

816
00:49:34,300 --> 00:49:37,200
might step up and do some big
things.

817
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,200
And the last guy have here is DJ
Matthews.

818
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:45,500
He's a wide receiver.
He had 36 catches 335 yards and

819
00:49:45,500 --> 00:49:49,600
three touchdowns last year, so
respectable numbers, but you're

820
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,400
going to need to see him.
Probably take another step this

821
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,200
year if they're going to have
some success.

822
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,900
So, look for him to be a guy
that if you want a guy that's

823
00:49:58,900 --> 00:50:00,600
going to step up.
Up and take them to the next

824
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:01,800
level.
He's probably going to be the

825
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,300
one that's going to make the
most rise.

826
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,200
All someone named I didn't hear
in that Brun, which I'm very

827
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,400
interesting to me was fully.
Hola born thought you might be

828
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,400
seeing him as the next cam Akers
but I guess from your research,

829
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,200
you're feeling like maybe he
doesn't fit in Norville systems,

830
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,200
but I guess, time will tell what
that?

831
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,300
Yeah, I think he's probably
going to see some time but I

832
00:50:21,300 --> 00:50:24,800
just, I don't know what that's
going to look like yet.

833
00:50:25,300 --> 00:50:28,200
Yeah, everything I'm reading.
Is that they're looking at some

834
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,700
of these guys that are coming in
to really step into key roles.

835
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,300
So I'm not sure if that means
that You know, he's kind of been

836
00:50:35,300 --> 00:50:38,100
passed on the depth chart in
terms of what nor belt looking

837
00:50:38,100 --> 00:50:42,400
for or if it's just
production-wise looking at the

838
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:46,100
tape, he doesn't quite you know,
cut the mustard as it were.

839
00:50:46,100 --> 00:50:49,400
So I guess time will tell in
terms of if he can climb back

840
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,900
into the the role to be, you
know, 1A or 1B in this offense.

841
00:50:53,900 --> 00:50:57,000
But I think the Seminoles are
looking at some of these guys,

842
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:02,400
they've got in the portal and
through the Juco transfer.

843
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,400
I think they're going to look at
those guys to make.

844
00:51:04,500 --> 00:51:06,100
Some, some different type of
plays for them.

845
00:51:06,700 --> 00:51:09,700
Absolutely man.
All right, Brian.

846
00:51:09,700 --> 00:51:14,600
Let's move on one of my personal
favorite ACC teams that aren't

847
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,600
the Hokies the Dave, Clausen
lead Wake Forest Demon Deacons

848
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:24,600
coming off an eight and five
season last year returning, five

849
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:29,100
offensive starters. 7 on defense
for a team like Wake Forest.

850
00:51:29,100 --> 00:51:34,000
That is not a lot, man, but give
me a couple guys that we're

851
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,300
going to really see missing on
the field.

852
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:39,100
I know one of them but I feel
like there's one other Other

853
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:42,100
guy, too.
All right, so being elephant in

854
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:45,100
the room, Jamie Newman is
transferred to Georgia so we're

855
00:51:45,100 --> 00:51:48,000
definitely not going to see him
on the field for Wake Forest

856
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,400
this year.
You know we've got a couple

857
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,400
other guys were talking about
the big one for me is going to

858
00:51:54,408 --> 00:51:57,300
be a couple guys end up in the
draft.

859
00:51:57,300 --> 00:52:00,200
We talk about.
Justin Heron offensive lineman.

860
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:05,600
He was a six round draft pick.
And Justin strawed linebacker,

861
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,400
he was a fifth round draft pick.
So those are the guys that are

862
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:12,100
the key to Archers, the last two
were going to be graduating

863
00:52:12,100 --> 00:52:16,200
seniors and obviously Jamie
Newman transferring to Georgia.

864
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:21,100
He still got some time left to
play football, but those guys

865
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:22,900
are going to be the ones that
are missed the most on this

866
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:24,600
team.
Yeah.

867
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,600
Now Wake Forest.
Did you know, make some coaching

868
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,900
changes this year?
Kind of interestingly after

869
00:52:29,900 --> 00:52:32,200
coming off a solid eight and
five year, although they waned

870
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:37,100
in the end there, Paul Williams
is now their secondary coach.

871
00:52:37,100 --> 00:52:38,900
He's been a veteran of 20 plus
years.

872
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Years.
Including a stop.

873
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,000
During the owl.
Golden are down at my age.

874
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:48,300
Yeah, Ryan Crawford is, he was
the quarterbacks coach but he is

875
00:52:48,300 --> 00:52:53,000
moving to an assistant special
teams coach and a nickel coach.

876
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:57,000
Now, he previously had been the
special teams coach at Harvard

877
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,500
before he came down the way.
Almost, maybe seems he was not

878
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:02,500
in the right position coaching
Corners.

879
00:53:02,500 --> 00:53:04,400
Let's get him to something he
knows better.

880
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,600
They've hired Greg Jones as
their linebackers and Coach.

881
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:08,900
He had been with them for a
little while.

882
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Doing some all field stuff and
they let go of Brad Sherrod.

883
00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:15,900
So made some changes, but not
anything drastic.

884
00:53:15,900 --> 00:53:19,900
It looks like if anything the
Crawford move was to more, he's

885
00:53:19,900 --> 00:53:22,100
better doing.
This will bring it in a really

886
00:53:22,100 --> 00:53:28,300
veteran guy in the secondary and
then the Greg Jones thing I'd

887
00:53:28,300 --> 00:53:30,600
like to see.
I kind of feel for sure.

888
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,900
Because you did have a good
linebacker Jones is going to

889
00:53:32,908 --> 00:53:34,900
walk in with losing one of their
better players.

890
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,300
But dude, they're not its
weight, they don't get A lot of

891
00:53:39,300 --> 00:53:43,000
talent, 2017, 6th ranked
recruiting class, twenty

892
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,500
eighteen to sixty, fourth
ranked, 2019, 250 eighth-ranked.

893
00:53:47,500 --> 00:53:52,100
So in lieu of all those things
and I know that return couple

894
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,200
pretty good players where they
might surprise a few people.

895
00:53:55,700 --> 00:53:59,500
This could be one of those down
years that way and you know, for

896
00:53:59,500 --> 00:54:03,800
me who is coming back that you
see could if they make a bowl,

897
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,900
would be really impressive.
Well, I mean we we start with

898
00:54:07,900 --> 00:54:10,200
some of the key returners Got to
start with.

899
00:54:10,700 --> 00:54:14,900
I mean the dude Sage to rot, let
me he's one of the best

900
00:54:14,900 --> 00:54:18,400
receivers in the country and he
was making this case for the

901
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,400
best receiver in the country
until he got injured against

902
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:25,200
Virginia Tech.
Last year, this guy can do it

903
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,200
all, I'll be big body but he can
run by you.

904
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,800
He was third team All-American
by Athlon even after the injury.

905
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,000
He first team all-acc wide
receiver after the injury.

906
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,300
I mean, this guy was out there
put up some big-time numbers for

907
00:54:40,300 --> 00:54:44,300
them but we also got to look at
a few other guys.

908
00:54:44,900 --> 00:54:49,400
Primarily these guys are going
to be defensive players.

909
00:54:50,700 --> 00:54:57,200
So we're looking at Ryan's men,
do he started all 13 games as a

910
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,900
sophomore last year at
linebacker?

911
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,200
And he led the team with 81
tackles and was second on the

912
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,300
team in tackles for loss with
seven and he recorded

913
00:55:07,300 --> 00:55:08,800
double-digit tackles against
her.

914
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,100
You taking Duke.
So he was, he was pretty much

915
00:55:11,100 --> 00:55:14,700
one of their, they're tackling
machine out there, especially

916
00:55:14,700 --> 00:55:18,300
for a guy stepping into a big
role as a sophomore, and I'm

917
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:21,000
going to go with this is gonna
hurt the Hokies a little bit

918
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:25,400
here, but the next, two key
returners, were looking at her,

919
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,100
both Virginia, natives tray,
Rucker from Fairfax.

920
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:33,000
He had nine starts last year as
a freshman forth on the team in

921
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:34,900
tackles and he's stepping in as
a day.

922
00:55:34,900 --> 00:55:39,000
One starter, you know, after
taking on that role last You're

923
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:44,200
due to injuries and the big the
big veteran guy here, the

924
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:48,500
Redshirt senior Carlos Basham
from Roanoke, Boogie.

925
00:55:48,500 --> 00:55:51,600
Yeah.
Walter get Walter Camp preseason

926
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,300
All-American.
First team, all-acc in 2019 11

927
00:55:55,300 --> 00:55:58,500
sacks and 61 quarterback
pressures.

928
00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:04,200
Also had three forced fumbles.
I mean he is the big well

929
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,300
against he's the dude and he was
in our backyard and he's playing

930
00:56:07,300 --> 00:56:11,300
for Wake no way.
Your geographically still pretty

931
00:56:11,300 --> 00:56:14,000
damn.
Close to Roanoke, but that one's

932
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,200
still hurts.
It does it hurts a lot man.

933
00:56:17,300 --> 00:56:20,000
All right.
And I got a few players I want

934
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,000
to talk about here though.
Yeah, I got a feeling.

935
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,400
I know one of them.
But who's your emerging guys for

936
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:26,000
what you?
All right?

937
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,000
So it's got number one.
It's got to be saying, Hardman

938
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,100
because if Sam Harmon is not an
emerging player than they are

939
00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:35,900
going to have a rough go of it.
Oh, they're going to have such

940
00:56:35,900 --> 00:56:37,500
rough.
Go saying apartment isn't an

941
00:56:37,500 --> 00:56:44,100
emerging player that Now he
thinks there's some history

942
00:56:44,100 --> 00:56:47,200
there, he can't you see that he
can do the job.

943
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,600
Now the question is has he taken
any key steps?

944
00:56:51,700 --> 00:56:55,400
Playing behind Newman last year
where you can come in and say

945
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:59,300
okay well he's going to make
some noise now but he's got a

946
00:56:59,300 --> 00:57:03,200
good game and I think he's got
some of the least with serrat

947
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,300
some wide receiver talent but
most of their wide receivers are

948
00:57:06,308 --> 00:57:08,300
also big guys.
So I think that's going to help

949
00:57:08,300 --> 00:57:13,200
a guy that The into this type of
role, he's got big guys to throw

950
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,200
to so I think that's going to
soften that Landing a little

951
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,800
bit.
You know, speaking of guys you

952
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,200
throw into that.
They need to emerge Donovan

953
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,100
Green.
He showed a lot of chemistry

954
00:57:24,100 --> 00:57:28,800
with Hartman starting four games
in his Redshirt campaign last

955
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:34,300
year as a freshman, so he played
in four games based on NCAA

956
00:57:34,300 --> 00:57:38,100
rules, but one of those games
with Syracuse and he had seven

957
00:57:38,100 --> 00:57:43,000
catches for And 72 yards
including a 75 yard touchdown so

958
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,300
the kid can make some plays and
it'll be interesting to see what

959
00:57:45,300 --> 00:57:50,000
he can do with the full run of
games this year, especially with

960
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,600
Harvin pulling the trigger, who
happened to be pulling the

961
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,100
trigger when he had most of
those caches in that Syracuse

962
00:57:55,100 --> 00:57:59,200
game.
So it'll be interesting but as

963
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:04,100
we're moving forward, looking at
Kenneth's Walker at running back

964
00:58:04,100 --> 00:58:07,000
for them, that's going to be
another key to look at this

965
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,800
year.
Played in all 33.

966
00:58:08,900 --> 00:58:13,100
Games as a freshman and it to
100 yard games and he led the

967
00:58:13,100 --> 00:58:15,600
team in rushing in three of the
games last season.

968
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,100
So he was a pretty key role even
though he was stepping in as a

969
00:58:18,100 --> 00:58:22,200
freshman last year, kind of
similar to, you know, what,

970
00:58:22,300 --> 00:58:26,500
Keshawn, King did for us and
said, Mike, White is not quite

971
00:58:26,500 --> 00:58:29,300
as explosive as king Terrence
Davis.

972
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:33,800
He's going to be the Maryland
transfer plays the interior line

973
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,300
that.
Wait, now it'll be interesting

974
00:58:36,300 --> 00:58:39,500
to see how they work him in,
because wake is Turning all of

975
00:58:39,500 --> 00:58:41,200
their interior lineman this
year.

976
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,200
So I'm wondering if some of
those guys don't Shuffle around

977
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:48,400
to make some some room for Davis
to slip in there, but that could

978
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,400
help them Shore up things a
little bit as, as they look to

979
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,100
replace a couple of their,
their, their offensive lineman

980
00:58:55,100 --> 00:58:56,900
the absolutely.
And, you know, Brian to they

981
00:58:56,900 --> 00:59:00,200
might be taking a look at him.
Even, regardless of size wise,

982
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,500
with Collegiate level, tackles
somebody kicking outside that

983
00:59:03,500 --> 00:59:06,100
was on the inside, Davis,
kicking to the outside.

984
00:59:06,300 --> 00:59:08,700
I think wakes going to lean a
lot on their defense issue.

985
00:59:08,900 --> 00:59:12,200
If they do make a bowl.
So a couple of those guys, you

986
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,600
mentioned.
It's going to be very key for

987
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,900
them.
All right, let's move down the

988
00:59:15,900 --> 00:59:19,600
road a little bit to the east.
Let's go to NC State.

989
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,900
Now, in Sea State, not a good
season.

990
00:59:21,900 --> 00:59:23,600
Last year.
There were so under Dave, during

991
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,600
four and eight, but they do have
some returning players. 10

992
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,200
players coming back on offense,
six, players coming back on

993
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,800
defense now.
Brian, they did lose three

994
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,100
starters on the defensive line
and a couple of them, I'm sure

995
00:59:38,100 --> 00:59:39,700
you will be talking.
About right now.

996
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:45,400
All right, so lost larell
Murchison, he was taken in the

997
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,400
fifth round by the Tennessee
Titans.

998
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,800
So, that's a, that's a big loss.
And then I'll send another guy

999
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,800
right there on the Divas of wind
James Smith Williams, drafted in

1000
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,200
the seventh, round by the
Redskins.

1001
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,500
So that's two guys off of a
defensive line that are now

1002
01:00:00,500 --> 01:00:02,700
playing in the NFL.
So that's going to be really,

1003
01:00:02,700 --> 01:00:07,300
really hard to fill those shoes.
It absolutely is man.

1004
01:00:07,300 --> 01:00:10,300
And It's going to be tough for
them.

1005
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:15,900
Clearly with what happened last
year for NC State, Dave door.

1006
01:00:15,900 --> 01:00:18,900
And I think officially is on the
hot seat and he made he made

1007
01:00:18,900 --> 01:00:21,300
from coaching changes, like, he
was on the hot seat.

1008
01:00:21,500 --> 01:00:24,900
He first big thing.
He brought in Tim Beck, new

1009
01:00:24,900 --> 01:00:27,200
offensive coordinator,
quarterback coached.

1010
01:00:27,900 --> 01:00:30,800
The co offensive coordinators
from last year, still on the

1011
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,600
team.
George McDonald is now only

1012
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,900
doing wide receivers the other.
Kurt Roper is only doing the

1013
01:00:35,900 --> 01:00:39,200
running backs.
Coach, they did hire Joe de

1014
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,900
force.
There's a safety from USC.

1015
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:46,000
So new safety.
Coach on defense Freddy Autry

1016
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,500
Lindsay, he's comes in a nickel
coach from North Carolina

1017
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:51,600
Central.
He did have a stop at Ole Miss

1018
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:56,700
in 2018 so some D1 experience.
Also looks like some local ties

1019
01:00:56,700 --> 01:01:00,700
there to the triangle and well
the last two Brian.

1020
01:01:00,700 --> 01:01:04,900
I think we're super familiar
with, I don't know why, but he's

1021
01:01:04,900 --> 01:01:09,800
guys coach for the Hokies Brian
Mitchell, the cornerback Coach

1022
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:14,100
Let Go by Virginia Tech lands on
his feet down in Raleigh and

1023
01:01:14,100 --> 01:01:18,100
obviously the ones still stings.
A lot of Hokies fans long time

1024
01:01:18,100 --> 01:01:20,400
defensive line coach.
Charlie Wiles.

1025
01:01:21,700 --> 01:01:24,800
Let go and for Charlie, it made
a ton of sense.

1026
01:01:25,100 --> 01:01:27,500
He's always recruited down in
North Carolina.

1027
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,000
So we're probably going to have
some fights with him over some

1028
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,900
players in the future through,
right?

1029
01:01:33,100 --> 01:01:37,600
But overall I think you see
door, no, I need to make some

1030
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,600
changes on offense and weave.
Got to score more points but

1031
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:44,900
he's bringing some really solid
defensive players to because he

1032
01:01:44,900 --> 01:01:47,400
knows that if he screws up this
year, they're probably going to

1033
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,600
let him go.
And he has some decent

1034
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:57,400
recruiting classes 53 from 2017,
26 from 2018 and 32 from 2019.

1035
01:01:57,500 --> 01:02:01,900
So there are some talent in
there but I think don't know the

1036
01:02:01,900 --> 01:02:03,900
seats on fire.
I got to bring in guys.

1037
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:07,900
I think and get us there now,
not later and then you see some

1038
01:02:07,900 --> 01:02:10,500
of those guys coming.
Back, Brian, who do you think's

1039
01:02:10,500 --> 01:02:14,700
going to, hopefully, potentially
save David, orange job.

1040
01:02:17,100 --> 01:02:20,000
Well, I've got to, I've got five
guys that I've kind of targeted.

1041
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,000
Both of some of them returning,
some of them going to be new

1042
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:27,700
that I want to kind of talk
about a little bit here but the

1043
01:02:27,700 --> 01:02:29,800
big one.
That's we weren't able to see

1044
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,100
last year that we're going to
get to see this year because of

1045
01:02:32,100 --> 01:02:37,300
NCAA rules is linebacker Levi
June so he had to sit last year

1046
01:02:37,300 --> 01:02:43,000
transfer from USC.
But by all accounts, he's, he's

1047
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,700
getting rave reviews.
So, but apparently put on a

1048
01:02:46,707 --> 01:02:52,100
bunch of muscle and he was a
scout team player of the year,

1049
01:02:52,500 --> 01:02:53,800
in the year, he had to sit out
there.

1050
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,800
So he's the guy that apparently
is a good locker room guy, good.

1051
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:01,600
The weight room and seems to
have the ability to translate

1052
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,300
that to the field.
So he's the guy to keep an eye

1053
01:03:03,300 --> 01:03:08,700
on both in terms of big play
ability and just being able to

1054
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:13,600
Cops and tackles so the will
Factor deep at linebacker but it

1055
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,300
seems like he is already kind of
worked his way into that guy and

1056
01:03:17,300 --> 01:03:20,200
also being kind of a hybrid pass
rusher for them.

1057
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:25,400
So keep an eye on Levi, Levi
Jones their Shoring up that

1058
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,500
offensive line that's going to
be key and it looks like Hakeem

1059
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,900
Echo new is going to be the guy
that's going to potentially step

1060
01:03:32,900 --> 01:03:36,900
in and help out there looks like
he was battling some injuries.

1061
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:39,700
Eventually he got It into left
tackle.

1062
01:03:39,700 --> 01:03:41,400
Last year, one point.
Once he worked through those

1063
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,400
injuries and seem to do pretty
well.

1064
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,700
So I think he's kind of a guy
that is already shown some

1065
01:03:46,700 --> 01:03:49,800
promise but he hasn't really
even reached his his ceiling

1066
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:51,700
yet, just being a Freshman last
year.

1067
01:03:51,700 --> 01:03:55,500
So sophomore tackle iguana is
going to be a guy to keep an eye

1068
01:03:55,500 --> 01:03:58,400
on.
Let's also look at the defensive

1069
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,800
end, Jeffrey Gunther who were
talking about, all those guys,

1070
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:06,300
departing on the defensive line.
This is a guy that apparently

1071
01:04:06,300 --> 01:04:10,700
also had to sit out last season
and Did a lot of good good stuff

1072
01:04:10,700 --> 01:04:12,400
on the scout team, just like
Jones.

1073
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,700
So, I think he's a guy that
looks too if not your step into

1074
01:04:16,700 --> 01:04:19,300
a starting role, but he's
definitely going to be a guy

1075
01:04:19,300 --> 01:04:22,000
that's going to be rushing the
passer, and getting off the edge

1076
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,800
for them looks like he was at
Coastal Carolina in 2018.

1077
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:31,400
So he's kind of following the
Brock path here, Coastal, 2018,

1078
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:35,000
sitting out 2019 and, you know,
stepping into a key role in

1079
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,400
2020.
So he's got to keep an eye on.

1080
01:04:38,700 --> 01:04:43,700
And the one other one I want to
focus on here is a guy that we

1081
01:04:43,700 --> 01:04:47,100
really don't know a whole lot
about, but he's kind of looked

1082
01:04:47,100 --> 01:04:51,200
at as the savior of the offense
and that's freshman wide

1083
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:56,100
receiver Porter Rooks.
They really were very, very poor

1084
01:04:56,100 --> 01:04:57,900
at the wide receiver position
last year.

1085
01:04:57,900 --> 01:05:02,400
And based on this guy's tape and
everything.

1086
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,800
They are really, really excited
to see what he can do because I

1087
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,700
think he can actually have play
level ability.

1088
01:05:09,300 --> 01:05:13,000
He had rolled early so he know
he's got the maturity, he's got

1089
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,400
the skill level.
So I think they're looking at

1090
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,300
him to be an instant impact guy
and be the guy that can make

1091
01:05:18,300 --> 01:05:21,400
some big plays for them right
out the gate despite just being

1092
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,500
friendly.
I mean pretty 4:30 star guys.

1093
01:05:23,700 --> 01:05:28,700
So it sounds like he is expected
to be not only, you know, one of

1094
01:05:28,700 --> 01:05:30,800
the key Rich contributors, but
it sounds like an emerging

1095
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,800
Talent on your end Brian.
Yeah.

1096
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:35,400
He's kind of pulling double duty
there.

1097
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,200
He's both an emerging talent.
And in a guy they're looking to

1098
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:42,500
be a playmaker for them, right?
And for them last year, two,

1099
01:05:42,500 --> 01:05:44,300
they were struck by a lot of
injuries.

1100
01:05:44,300 --> 01:05:47,100
So it definitely didn't help as
many different players.

1101
01:05:47,100 --> 01:05:50,500
They had to go four and eight
but still, you know, you're

1102
01:05:50,500 --> 01:05:53,500
required to win football games
and whoever's there's, there's

1103
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,600
Supposed to win and maybe that
was something that door and saw

1104
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,300
with you know some of the
coaching stuff I saw where

1105
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,200
certain coaches weren't getting
the job done and he was like, I

1106
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,300
don't feel like going back and
coaching at a lower dear lower

1107
01:06:06,300 --> 01:06:08,600
level.
I'm gonna fire some people so

1108
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:09,900
yeah.
All right, Brian?

1109
01:06:09,900 --> 01:06:14,700
Well, let's move on to our last
group here, the mighty Syracuse,

1110
01:06:14,700 --> 01:06:19,600
Orange, with Dino, babers, 5 &
6, the mighty Syracuse, Orange

1111
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,000
with Dino, babers, five, and
seven last year.

1112
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,600
Now they're returning 11.
Starters for on defense, 7 on

1113
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,200
offense.
But man, they ain't Clemson

1114
01:06:28,500 --> 01:06:34,800
coming with 2017 recruiting
ranks of 2017. 5420 1851, and

1115
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:39,400
20, 1956 and Braun.
Did they have any really key

1116
01:06:39,500 --> 01:06:43,700
losses that might make them even
worse than the five and seven

1117
01:06:43,700 --> 01:06:46,500
last year?
Yeah, the big one.

1118
01:06:46,500 --> 01:06:51,900
We're going to talk about is
Alton Robinson that that's a guy

1119
01:06:51,900 --> 01:06:55,200
that was making plays all over
the field for them last year and

1120
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,600
I think that he's going to be
the guy that they're missing the

1121
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:04,500
most going into this year.
We're also looking at they lost

1122
01:07:04,500 --> 01:07:08,800
what bunch of defensive line
talented, that were graduating

1123
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,300
this year.
We got Kendall Coleman and

1124
01:07:11,300 --> 01:07:13,900
McKinley Williams and Kenneth
rough as well.

1125
01:07:13,900 --> 01:07:17,200
So we're looking at a Bunch of
guys on the defensive line that

1126
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:22,000
were that we're leaving due to
graduation and in the NFL.

1127
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:25,000
So they're going to have a hard
time replacing that talent

1128
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,200
because that's a lot of depth to
go in one season.

1129
01:07:27,500 --> 01:07:29,600
All right, Curtis, I will throw
this to you so they were five

1130
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,000
and seven last year.
Did they make any big changes?

1131
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:34,000
They made several changes big
guy.

1132
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,600
They first started brand new
defensive coordinator.

1133
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:42,100
Tony white coming from Zone.
Estate was Herm the previous

1134
01:07:42,300 --> 01:07:45,800
defensive coordinator behind
Ward was fired after he Gave up

1135
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:50,900
58 to Boston College last year.
Yeah, you the way but BC was

1136
01:07:50,900 --> 01:07:52,300
last year.
You have 58.

1137
01:07:52,300 --> 01:07:54,400
You're probably not gonna have a
job unfortunately.

1138
01:07:55,200 --> 01:08:00,500
Now, Tony white actually is
coming out, he was with her, but

1139
01:08:00,500 --> 01:08:03,900
he was multiple years on a rocky
long out at San Diego State.

1140
01:08:04,100 --> 01:08:07,600
So comes from a really good
defensive pedigree type program

1141
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,800
and you're probably going to
seek Syracuse start running the

1142
01:08:10,808 --> 01:08:15,200
335 base this year, so little
change up there now.

1143
01:08:15,300 --> 01:08:19,399
Now, they also got a new
offensive coordinator, stir.

1144
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:23,600
Yeah, that's so again, I think
Dino's feeling the hot seat,

1145
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,600
like, Dave doorman.
So new OC Sterling Gilbert from

1146
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,200
McNeese State.
He had actually worked with

1147
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,500
Dino, babers, when Dino was at
Eastern Illinois, and Bowling

1148
01:08:34,500 --> 01:08:36,700
Green.
Now, when he was at Eastern

1149
01:08:36,700 --> 01:08:41,700
Illinois, he was named the FCS
coordinator of the year.

1150
01:08:42,300 --> 01:08:45,200
He was essentially coordinator
and one of my favorite.

1151
01:08:45,500 --> 01:08:49,600
NFL players right now, Jimmy
Garoppolo and so.

1152
01:08:49,700 --> 01:08:51,500
Okay.
Garoppolo on the Walter Payton

1153
01:08:51,500 --> 01:08:55,300
that year, so he clearly had a
guy with some Talent playing at

1154
01:08:55,300 --> 01:08:57,600
that level.
So clearly you got Jimmy,

1155
01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,899
drafted.
So there's there's some, there's

1156
01:08:59,899 --> 01:09:04,700
some stuff behind the sky.
Sterling Gilbert now.

1157
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:09,000
The former offensive coordinator
Mike, Lynch State on staff.

1158
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,100
He is now the running backs
coach.

1159
01:09:11,100 --> 01:09:14,000
So do you know didn't go as deep
as dorm by getting rid of a lot

1160
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,500
of position coaches?
To me, it seemed like he knew it

1161
01:09:16,508 --> 01:09:18,300
was time for a change in
philosophy.

1162
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:23,399
And by doing that, I'm wondering
thinking about who's coming

1163
01:09:23,399 --> 01:09:26,399
back, who you think could
benefit Brian from the changes

1164
01:09:26,399 --> 01:09:29,800
to the staffs here?
Well, I've me, I think the

1165
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,800
biggest thing you're going to
see is, you know, are we going

1166
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:36,100
to see a step forward for the
alleged veto that?

1167
01:09:36,100 --> 01:09:39,100
That's the big thing is that,
you know, last year, he had two

1168
01:09:39,100 --> 01:09:43,000
thousand, three hundred sixty
yards, so, Not bad.

1169
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,700
Not great. 19 touchdowns 63
percent completion.

1170
01:09:47,700 --> 01:09:49,600
Percentage only five
interceptions.

1171
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,800
So didn't turn the ball over
very much.

1172
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,000
But are we going to see him?
Take a step forward in this

1173
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:59,700
offense, the key contributor.
That's that we need to see.

1174
01:09:59,900 --> 01:10:03,400
Take a big step forward is going
to be his primary target which

1175
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:06,100
is going to be Taj Harris.
Yeah, this is a guy that had

1176
01:10:06,100 --> 01:10:10,200
thirty seven receptions 559
receiving yards only two

1177
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,700
touchdowns last year.
Give em.

1178
01:10:12,700 --> 01:10:14,900
That's the big thing.
I think we want to see improve,

1179
01:10:14,900 --> 01:10:17,900
maybe 44 DeVito's get more
touchdowns.

1180
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:22,200
I like the interception numbers
but 19 touchdowns seems fairly

1181
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:26,200
low along with only under 2500
through a passing yards.

1182
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,100
I'd like to see them improve in
that, that area if they're going

1183
01:10:29,100 --> 01:10:33,800
to take another step forward.
But what could help with that?

1184
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:39,500
Is a guy like Matthew Bergeron,
stepping up, and being kind of a

1185
01:10:39,500 --> 01:10:42,300
big-time player for that
offensive line, which was was

1186
01:10:42,300 --> 01:10:47,500
absolutely one of their weak
spots last year to get what, 20

1187
01:10:47,500 --> 01:10:50,700
knock down blocks last year.
It was freshman All-America, so

1188
01:10:51,100 --> 01:10:54,300
definitely a guy that can play
but he's going to be asked to

1189
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,700
step onto a more leadership role
I think along the offensive line

1190
01:10:57,700 --> 01:11:02,300
this year as they start to get
get better.

1191
01:11:02,300 --> 01:11:04,400
So I think offensive side of the
ball.

1192
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:07,400
Those are the three guys that
work that are going to be key to

1193
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,500
see if Syracuse can take a step
forward and get back to bowl

1194
01:11:10,500 --> 01:11:11,800
eligibility.
Very nice.

1195
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,400
Any emerging guys from the
Syracuse team.

1196
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,600
Again, it's not a highly lot of
Highly ranked guys, based on

1197
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:19,700
where they're recruiting.
Is there anybody that stuff out

1198
01:11:19,700 --> 01:11:23,200
there said that guy right there
might pop this year.

1199
01:11:24,100 --> 01:11:26,500
So, I mean obviously we talked
about, you know, to be there

1200
01:11:26,500 --> 01:11:30,500
taking the next step here.
But if we're looking for maybe

1201
01:11:30,500 --> 01:11:34,100
like a running back to take the,
take a lead role, I think

1202
01:11:34,100 --> 01:11:37,100
they're going to go with the
junior tandem of replacing

1203
01:11:37,100 --> 01:11:39,200
moneill.
He was their leading rusher last

1204
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:43,000
year but they got jarvie on
Howard and Abdul Adams.

1205
01:11:43,100 --> 01:11:45,900
So I think those are going to be
the two guys that are going to

1206
01:11:45,900 --> 01:11:47,400
handle the workload from a
Russian perspective.

1207
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:51,700
So look for them to be key
contributors coming into this

1208
01:11:51,700 --> 01:11:56,000
thing for this season but also
their pass, rush takes a big,

1209
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:57,800
big hit.
We talked about Kendall cold.

1210
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:01,100
When we talk about alt Robinson
other guys left like the King

1211
01:12:01,100 --> 01:12:03,100
William's.
So that's going to be the

1212
01:12:03,100 --> 01:12:07,800
biggest part to replace and I
think Michael Jones is going to

1213
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:11,300
be one of the guys to look to
step in but also Tyro Richards.

1214
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,400
So keep an eye.
There's two guys, very nice.

1215
01:12:13,500 --> 01:12:15,200
You don't know how bad when you
said Mike Jones.

1216
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,300
I just wanted to scream Mike
Jones from the hip hop artist

1217
01:12:18,300 --> 01:12:21,500
back in their younger days, I
guess.

1218
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:27,100
Alright guys, so that does wrap
up this portion.

1219
01:12:27,100 --> 01:12:32,100
These are teams, we don't play.
So, what we want to ask you guys

1220
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,700
on Twitter today, is this what
team of these five?

1221
01:12:35,700 --> 01:12:40,000
Do you wish we played in the
regular season this year?

1222
01:12:40,500 --> 01:12:43,200
I'm going to go ahead and tell
you I'd like to play Wake Forest

1223
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,900
again because I think they are
going to be on The Struggle Bus

1224
01:12:45,900 --> 01:12:48,500
as much as I love Clawson.
Brian, what about you?

1225
01:12:49,500 --> 01:12:51,900
I wouldn't mind playing Syracuse
as long as you weren't in the

1226
01:12:51,900 --> 01:12:57,400
damaged area.
That's true but you know

1227
01:12:59,700 --> 01:13:01,900
definitely I'm just gonna leave
it at that.

1228
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,200
Alright guys so that is going to
wrap up this episode of The
