Had somebody asked me this morning if we wanted to
go in on a franchise, really, I might have took
a meeting for us. Well, no, I've Tony. I would
have just announced that we're opening a Tutor's franchise. I
just said I took the I took the meeting and
had a discussion.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Almost lost my Tutors cup. He did almost as you're welcome.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
So our boy Hoppy recently left the studio after taping
put his Tutor's travel mug on the back of his
vehicle after we picked up the hatch of his vehicle
and forgot it was there, drove off. Fortunately the Senator
saw it and retrieved it for the Hobster. So the

(03:06):
Tutor's travel mug is alive and well.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Thank you, Brad did it?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Fall was on the ground.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
No, No, it was still on top of the car.
He hadn't left yet. I had not put it there
today on the weight this morning.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
But here's what this is.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
So I came in and I came down to the
studio and I brought water because I thought I didn't
bring in my tutors come. And then my tutor's cup
was here, and I thought, how it has ice in it?
How did it get here?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Because Tutor is much like the moth Man, will follow
you no matter where you go. All right, we're gonna
jump in. Literally, we're going east, northwest, south, a bunch
of different directions on the show. We didn't do textual
healing last episode when Travis Tricket was in. Travis was
really good on that. Yeah we knew we would. Yeah
we didn't. We didn't do any textual healing, and but

(03:55):
we got other things that we'll talk about and get into.
I've had a fun time in this year's caravan stops
people people. They a lot of three guys people out there,
A lot of three guys people out there. Oftentimes they
wear's hoppy and brad. So I think they think we're
Siamese like triplets, like where they that were always together,

(04:19):
always together, And I tell them I truly don't like them.
I don't like any of the guys.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
If this was a TV show, though, we'd all be
living in the same apartment, right.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Like friends, something like that.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
How's your You've been all over the place.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Do you thank everybody for listening when they come up
to you?

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Absolutely do? I absolutely do. Yeah, they're great. And I
always ask people why why do you listen? And it's
you get varied you get varied results.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Do you ask listen or watch?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Sometimes?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Usually do that?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Sometimes I do get this a little bit more than
more often than I like and more often than I
think it should be asked. And that is can you
guys lay off Hoppy a little bit? Right? Brad? We've
heard that you can't get that. I mean, you guys
are off hard on Hoppy. Can you lay off Hopy
a little bit? Now?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
I met I met Drew and Becky from New Martinsville
this week, Hope Bill Stewart right. We had a nice
conversation we were out. They did not say we should
lay off Hoppy. No, but they were a very nice.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Couple that them said they they watch appreciate they watch
more than one sorry, we mentioned so I have a
couple mentions then if we're just starting there out at
I've been going to WVU physical therapy for an IT
band issue.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Probably missed two games, maybe three.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's tough injury. The athletes get the it man.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Travis physical therapist there a big listener.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Oh Travis isn't working with you. Huh.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, well he hasn't worked with me personally, but I
ran into Travis. And also when I went to another
Peak Health WV Medicine. You know the gym out there
at the Aquatic Center. Well sure, yeah, so Blake got
a picture Blake, Blake works out there, and he flagged
me there's Blake.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Wow, look you had your cup there.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah. Well the story there is I had left on
my car and Blake found it brought in me. Not really,
but so Blake's out there, big three guys listeners. So
I want to sailor to some of those fans.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Thanks, Yeah, we'll do that if you want to. Hey, Jake,
roll the sense we're doing this well, and then we'll
get in some actual stuff.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
I do have some numbers I want to get into
with these basketball.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, I know we're we're gonna do it, we're gonna
do it. But last night, Uh so we're recording. But
when I did the Monroe County no, not the Monroe kunt.
When I did the Glade Springs caravan stop, I ran
into Andrew and Cody. I did you picture made with? Yeah,
both Andrew and Cody. These dudes are from Monroe County, which,
as you well know, we had a big time. They said,

(06:43):
you're gonna get your picture made. I said, let's get
our picture made. Get our picture made. So we both
agreed on portrait mode there.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I don't know what blur in the background.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I think it went we I told him I think
Monroe County is the prettiest county in the state of
West Virginia. They agree, Yeah, yeah, it's pretty gorgeous.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
What are you hearing from the Mountaineer Faithful on these
trips that you're taking with the coaches about expectations football, basketball?
What are you hearing? I mean, these are these are
the p ones.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, not real big expectations in football. They just want
to win twelve and in basketball Elite eight minimum. Other
than that, okay, pretty good, yeah, pretty good.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
DraftKings is out with its win total.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Excuse me, Wow, you know, we.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Talked about that. There were Yeah, there were some far
away places that might have had it out earlier. But
DraftKings is it is out Let me guess, go ahead,
six and a half.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
The first one you told me on an off shore
was four and a half. Correct, that was one that
was out there. So hey, he's going six and a half.
So I'm going to say, let's cut the middle five
and a half.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, five and a half juice heavily. The under minus
won sixty really to the under there, as we'll say,
so that's available.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
That has got to be That has got to be
the hardest thing to lay out right now in the
sport world. Because of the roster transformations.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
I would think you'll see those numbers move, move, move quickly.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Really like even now, in the next couple of months.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
As we know, our guy Dave Sheripan right worked in
and spent a long long time in Las Vegas, would
always say that he said, it's not as difficult as
you may think, because you hang a number and you
get around it, and then you just have to you
have to be diligent and keep an eye on it.
Someone comes in and drops one on you keep limits
a little bit lower right now, so you're not going
to get overly burned on something. And then once it
comes in and you see who that was, Okay, you

(08:36):
might have to move that a little bit because because
you're right, how do we know about West Virginia? How
do you know about West Virginia? Let alone multiple books
in Las Vegas? How do they know what you don't know?
I mean, you're just trying to get around it.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Is that so Vegas is probably basing that on new coach.
What the schedule, all those transfers coming in, that's probably
a number that that surfaces when you think of all
those things, having a returning quarterback, those kinds of thing.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Sure, but certainly it's way more of a guest than
it used to be. And it's always been a guess, right,
Your preseason expectations have always been some of the whole guests.
Now they're a total guest because not only do you
not know what West Virginia is going to be, you
don't know what anybody on that schedule is going to
look like. Right, I mean, as we've said many times,
he picked West Virginia last two years ago they went nine.
He picked Arizona State, last last year they go to
college football player, So how do you know? But just

(09:24):
for FYI, five and a half Juice to the Under.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Recently talked to a guy who was at the Kentucky
Derby and was betting at the Kentucky Derby and had
a horse that he felt really good about. And the
horse was nine to one, and then.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
The horse guy or just was betting on the horses.
Horse guy, well, he qualify as a horse guy.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, oh yeah, he's a corse guy. He's a horse guy.
And he said it was at nine to one and
he said, you ever heard of that Mattress Mac Yeah, yes,
and I go, yeah, he goes that sob he dropped
two mill right before the race went dropped it down
to seven to one. Mm horse So you're talking about

(10:08):
the one that won it? Oh really yeah yeah, okay, sovereignty, sovereignty. Yeah,
so the that's to your point that these lines will
go up and down based on what the money does.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Now others bet on that race. I am not a gambler,
right right, but the fact that they had a horse
named Journalism. Yeah, I had to contact a guy I
know and say, explain to me how I bet on
this horse.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Sure, Brad, do.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
You want to pick up the story from there?

Speaker 3 (10:39):
I don't remember it.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
So I bet ten dollars on journalism.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, to win, to win, okay, and then he almost
got it placed.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, he better to win.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
And then when I'm listening to coverage, yeah, and they're saying,
and they go through, you know, nine, ten and eleven people,
what's your pick? Journalism? Journalism? Journalism? I mean six of nine,
seven of ten pick journalism. Right at that moment, as
a long time out in your fan you knew, I knew,
might as well just throw the money out the window,
set it on fire. Yeah, lost my ten.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, that's all right, we'll be and you're on fixed income.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
That's a whole new world for you.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
College football is hard. It's really hard to bet on
live animals that are out there running hard. Being a
horse guy, wouldn't it, Yeah, being a full time horse guy.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah. Plus yeah, various weather conditions and things like that.
All right, let's jump in, let's do let's do a
little recap here on roster movements and things of the such.
Since the last time we got together, WV basketball continues
to add names to its roster let's do a little

(11:51):
breakdown as to who is coming. What do their numbers say?
That's right, it's time for spreads on stats, brought to
us by Conley CPA Group, providing value beyond numbers. It's

(12:32):
of that. Check them out. Conley CPA Group, Big Mike,
good people, good dudes. All right, let's jump in. What
do we got?

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Two guards West Virginia has added to the roster and
big guards at that six four and six' five wow
For West. Virginia so you're adding some size. Here so
let's start with the high school. Player Jordan forsyth Is
the most recent commitment comes out Of West Town school
Where Cam red has, Played mobamba, played and he's a

(13:03):
six six' Five former. Xavier commit almost Like A jonathan
powell type. Of, SITUATION right jp was six, to six
had Committed, to xavier Came To, west virginia was a
really good three. Point shooter that's what you're Getting in. Forsyth,
here now, he's young he's a high, school kid so
you don't expect him to come in and have to
play thirty some minutes a GAME like jp did. Last

(13:24):
year but it's a guy that has been described to
me as an. Elite shooter so is that a guy
you can come in a couple spots here, and, there
hoppy and yet you got a guy off the bench
that can maybe make some shots. For You so jane
forsythe in as one of the latest Commits For ross
Hodge The. Other guard this is six to Four From.
South carolina morris ogusuk ogusuk ogusuk bless you m hm ogusuk.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
One. Of, them, Hey listen i'm really struggling. With listening we.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Phonetically easy we've Got till. November one oh oh hyphen
guh s o okay.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Do? It again oh.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Guh ugoo or oh keep going s, o, okay, yes.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yes oh so coke. Ogusuk ogusuk we'll. Get it we'll,
Ask uncle We'll Ask uncle ross what?

Speaker 3 (14:27):
It is shooter? As Well From. South carolina here's some.
Interesting numbers hopy ready. Okay again gives you some size in.
The back coard a guy that played twenty some minutes
per game For A south carolina team. Last year so
he comes in obviously having played really. Good competition he
made a three in nineteen of the games he appeared in.
Last year oh okay made three in nineteen. Different games

(14:48):
in fourteen of those nineteen he made more, Than one
so he was a guy more often than not when
he came in and made, a shot he was making
a couple. Of threes. At least he had nine games
with three or, more threes and he had four games with,
four threes which is. Pretty good five of those nine
CAME against sec or power. Five competition eight of the,

(15:12):
excuse me eight of the nine where he had three
or more Came against power, four teams so he wasn't
doing it all in the preseason against teams that were
just better than so eight of those nine games with
three or more threes came against power. Four TEAMS so
i went back last year and pulled some numbers just
to try and get a comparison to what that would.
Look like nine games.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
With three or.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
More, threes okay, LAST year jp nine games with three or,
more threes six of Those against power. Five schools so
six of HIS nine yesufu four games with three or.
More threes amani four games with three or. More threes
so think about that for. A second my Memory of
Joe and amani will be they both had some highlight

(15:55):
games where when they were, Making threes western team was
really tough, to beat but only four each out of each.
Of those we're talking about a guy Here in morris
that came in and had nine of those with three.
Or more then here's the other one that jumped out.
TO me, I thought i know this is going to
be a, big NUMBER but i don't remember exactly what.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
It WAS.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Ben a wilson's. Basketball season How many? Vaughn hit how
many Games did vaughn have three or? More threes take,
the number go ahead and, take again.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Not, a big. Big?

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Number four how many games, Was six, i'm sorry with
three or more threes over the course of what when
they play thirty two ish thirty. Three games j, Had
nine joe, Had four amani.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Had four i'd say That that javon was in the
four to. FIVE range.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
J four you guys think he had four to five
games where he made three or. More threes sixteen, holy cow?
Sixteen games is? That right fourteen of Them versus power.
FIVE teams i GUESS when i say power five, and
basketball that includes the, BIG.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeame i guess what. He had, pretty goodyear.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
PRETTY good jp had a, good year, had NINE and
i Felt like Joe and amani gave you something that
they had. Four each vaughn had sixteen.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Of them so.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Big number so you're looking to, replace, that, WELL yeah
i mean that's again we've said many times it's going
to be really difficult to replace with. One guy the
Year that javon had. LAST year, i mean that was
a that was an. Unbelievable year as, we said it
was a player of the year type. Of year how
often do you have guys that have player of the
year type. Of years so that, Was one so that's

(17:26):
going to be hard. To replace one. For one you're
hoping you get more production from more guys and have
a couple that have all conference type years in.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
NOW years i mean part of That was javon had
to have those kind, of numbers right because you were
nobody else, was consistent consistently able to hit.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
The THREE so i thought that. Was interesting so you've
added a couple shooters and that that continues a trend
here with With what ross. Has done we know he's
going to, play defense but they've also added some shooters
around There With, Honor huff Trace And. Eagle staff now
these two kids that come in and have the ability
to make. Some shots so roster's starting to. Come together
They show Man's. From Finland, huh oh that's the other part.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
He building what is? He building give me something?

Speaker 1 (20:05):
More specific?

Speaker 3 (20:06):
What's it what's?

Speaker 2 (20:07):
He building what's he what's he? Aiming for what's he trying?
To achieve?

Speaker 3 (20:10):
IN time i think. A couple i think a couple.
Of things without, seeing again the standard disclaimer is how
these guys, mesh together how they, play together how they
elevate up in level of competition every single night when
you're getting it night and night Out from. January ON
but i think you can see what. He's building he's building.
A group i think the size is. Really good, you
know that was one thing we always said, Last, year
tony is the size just. Wasn't there and you're not

(20:33):
just talking about two centers that you throw. Out there,
just overall that was A Small west. Virginia, team again.
Really remarkable you were able to win as minis you
did with the lack of size. You had that's not
the case with this. Particular, group right you have the
seven Footer in Harlan, o bioha and then you have
you have six nines mixed in and six sevens and,
six eighths and your backcourt now has. Some Size jasper

(20:53):
floyd's sixty three more six' four for. Sight, six' five right,
you got chance, more you got fields you. You've got
some size you're gonna when you, get off the bus
you're gonna look like. A. BIG twelve team, then I
also think given, ross's reputation for defense you know this
team's gonna. GUARD and play defense i. Am interested to
watch he's got some guys that have shot it and
Made shots at the, division One level here so i'm

(21:16):
interested to watch what the shooting looks like on nights
when you've got to have somebody and the starters. Maybe
aren't getting it can you bring a couple of these
guys off the bench and get you some shots to.

Five degree days yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Hopey can't help himself he has to enter. Into politic
and Sports So you got nick saban getting what? What
do we got what? Do?

Speaker 2 (23:30):
We got got this this, is a fascinating story Is
That last week President trump was in tuscaloosa to deliver
the Commencement addressed At. The university, of alabama while There
He met with nick saban And they talked about saban's
concerns about how everything is working now with THE. Transfer
portal in nil And you know that saban's concerns about

(23:53):
the current. System are well documented and what came Out
of that was trump talking about the possibility of an
executive order to do something about trying to standardize what
IS happening now with nil and. With the transfer portal

(24:16):
and so, they're creating this commission which will Be Co
chaired by Nick Saban. And By cody campbell cody Campbell's
a businessman In texas and.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
A texas tech. Guy, he's a billionaire okay he's the
guy That's funding. All, the texas. Tech yeah crazy Money
he's the.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Tech he's chairman of the board of The Governors. Whatever
the texas tech so. They have this commission it's supposed
to look into all things in, il and TRANSFER portal
and and i guess come, up with. Some recommendations some
suggestions and you, know that this president, who's a sports
fan is certainly willing to use his executive power to

(24:51):
try to accomplish. Something, or change something now a couple
of points, About this one is i'm sure there's general
agreement that this, system could use Guidelines and supposedly the
house settlement is. Going to PROVIDE that but also i.
Thought this was Interesting Attorneys At the, hagins berman law

(25:12):
firm which helped secure the nearly three billion DOLLAR settlement
with the ncaa related to anti trust, lawsuits, involving, college,
athletes said quote well. He Was a coach nick saban
initially opposed, nil payments to athletes pushing to add restrictions
and red tape through national legislation to add. Some sort
of control during this time scrutinizing, the athlete pay structure

(25:33):
he made tens of millions of dollars and was previously
the highest paid. Coach In college Football coach saban and
trump's eleventh hour talks of executive orders and other meddling
are just. More unneeded self involvement college athletes are spearheading
historic changes AND benefiting. Massively from nil deals they don't
need this unmerited interference from a coach only seeking to

(25:54):
protect the system that made him tens. Of millions of
dollars so this law firm going directly after saye been.
On this number one the second thing, Is, that you
know brad you can having covered politics, and government for
years the basements of STATE Capitals in the us capitol are.
Filled with commission reports here are our recommendations that. Then

(26:17):
subsequently collect dust so you can have a commission and
you can. Come up with recommendations but the key is
would anybody? Do anything about it or could they. Do
anything about it, The, second point is brad as you talk,
about all the time it Might Be easier for donald
trump to get A trade deal with china than to
work out something that everybody in college athletics. Would, be

(26:39):
happy about yeah that's.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
It continues to be the biggest, CHALLENGE in college athletics
i think is getting people on the same page on
what they. ALL agree should happen i think maybe you
can get, to some basic framework but it's what are
you talking about You're talking about the power, four versus
everybody else and how much pushback do. YOU get on
that i found this article interesting from on Three And
it's quoting cody. Campbell to this one you want to

(27:00):
throw a new curveball into this mix as you're talking
about nil and you're talking about, eligibility with The Portal
how about cody campbell, Said this, last month college, sports
unlike pro sports does not have the right to pool
its media rights together and act as a single seller.
To the media, companies because of that the conferences compete
with one. Another for media deals that dynamic has caused

(27:21):
them to get less money per viewer. Than pro Sports,
do ACCORDING to campbell the nba has half as many,
viewers as college football but they get twice as much money.
As college, football does campbell's, saying that's absolutely crazy and
that's all because of the. Legal setup that exists so
that's an interesting one that just kind of came. Out
of left field you haven't heard a lot of, Public

(27:42):
discussion about that and You Wonder from, a west virginia
perspective does It Help having a cody campbell On There
with a texas tech Representation that isn't An alabama or
A michigan or a texas and kind of get his
thoughts in there is there some help along The Way
or a west, Virginia type of situation. Because that's face
it that's why it's so hard to get anybody to agree,

(28:04):
on any of this because You're Sitting Around like, major
league Baseball does, Where the yankees Say i'm helping the pirates,
you figure it. Out not doing that that's what You
HAVE here right the sec Right Now in the big
Ten are sitting around, glen not helping them not helping
The acc. Of the big twelve so that this will
be interesting to. See where it, lands and another point
will this commission have? Student athletes on it or are
they going to go with a commission, with no athletes

(28:26):
again which is just going to probably land you back.
In court yet again.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Thet the you would agree that if, they all work
together there would be, if The you, know The big
four the, big five work together that that would be
powerful in terms of negotiating contracts and. Getting, and getting money,
however as you, said as you, said as you said
what would be THE? Motivation FOR the sec, when i

(28:52):
was thinking we're already. Making tons of money all all
we would be doing being, lifting Up The others and
greg sanki.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Has said as much he's. Just said, as much so
listen why do? We need a compromise everything's going the way.
We wanted to go why would we need? To do
anything different you guys figure out how. To do something
different so that's one of the big stumbling blocks right.
Out of the gate how do you overcome that someone
are going? To force, their.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Hand i'm say can't. You can't force them you can't
force them unless.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Working together seems to Be LESS common now and i
don't care what subject you want, to talk about here
the working together that seems to be a lost art
right now all the way around for you.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Guys before the game also taking a little pop here
the new uniforms that WERE released. Recently by wuv football
we haven't spent time talking about The throwback to when

teeth i said now why is that blue blue? Not

Eight hundred dot com you can hit us up at
THREE oh four four o. Four forty eighty three THREE
oh four four o, four forty eighty three let us know,
what's on your noodle and we'll try to give you
some insight as. To what's going on so that's basically

(36:03):
how this thing became. The end stuff model This, comes
from doctor. Jeff a real doctor although the, portal is
now closed the players needed TO compete. On the wv
roster will they come from players.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Who are?

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Still in the portal is? This, a true statement so
although the, portal entry is closed the players needed TO.
Compete complete the wvs are? They, in the portal yeah
that's the only. Place they can be if they're, not
in the. Portal you can't transfer so. The answer is yes.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
The answer is yes then obviously strict regulations too on.
Contact with the players.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
He went on to ask this question during, the period
last year right during, this period last year who Were
The players that west virginia? Acquired in the portal, following.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Me on that what he means like?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
The, start of summer yeah so who did they bring
in after? Spring, ball was over? Oh, We're talking football,
YEAH and IN essence i mean i got a list
of names. That came in afterward the bottom, line question

(37:26):
is this Are The players that west virginia is currently
bringing in will they? Be able, to help, short answer
they better yet be. EXPECTED to they're better i mean
when we had in our last Episode When we had
travis dricken on twelve new offensive linemen Since, The end,
of December.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Hex six In spring, six and, SPRING yeah so yeah
i mean that those aren't just. Filling out roster spots
they're expecting those guys to play.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
AND pete, FOR jobs i mean i think the the
two types of players that they're bringing in right now
are guys that they feel very strongly can provide quality
depth like two's two and. A halves or start they're
not bringing, in, anyone, right now like hey let's bring.
A developmental guy in i don't. Think they're doing that
they're bringing guys in that they have to. Make an

(38:19):
immediate impact whether they do or not. Remains to Be.
Seen ted from colorado, over the past years there's been
a lot of discussion about The. Challenges of the portal
one area that has not received a lot of attention.
Is Strength and conditioning mike joseph now has forty plus
players coming in at different times of the year with,
different levels of conditioning and he has to get everyone

(38:41):
ready to go by the. Start of fall camp that
has to. Be a real challenge. That's a great point
it's a great point because some guys just don't, haven't
had you know it's. Different, everywhere, You go so yeah
mike's got in his staff have they're hands full of
trying to like. Get some of uniformitive this is, how we.

(39:01):
Do things three guys kind, of a random question but
with all the changes going, ON in college sports i
wanted to get your. Thoughts on this one if someone
breaks a record that was held by someone with a,
four year playing career and they broke the record with
a five or, six year playing career could we really
even say. The record was broken my. Vote is no thoughts.

(39:26):
It's a great question it's the same kind, of a
fundamental question like do you look at basketball scoring records
that are held by people that didn't play with the
three point shot compared, to those that did and the
answer the.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
ANSWER has, been yet i mean that's the records. THAT
they Have merged a member bowl game stats didn't, used
to count either and that.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Wasn't, That long ago no, so that's a. Well here's
a question you played.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
Eleven eleven four games now you play everybody plays. Twelve
or it's swinged.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
How about this one at the time of the year
where We are Making THE Hall Of fame Wv Sports
hall of. Fame committee is meeting this is the time of,
year we do this.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
AND you're a member, i am a member and.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
This class Will. Be enshrine this September whoever there is
and the question is this now and all schools.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Are dealing with this.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Can someone come INTO your school m m for one?
Year or two years Should they Qualify for? Hall of fame,
status like, let's Say For. Example hypothetic javon small what
If He was the national, player of the year does

(40:44):
He go Into? Your hall of fame.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
THAT'S a no brainer i think it's. A debate right
now isn't it? A debate right now with the one?
YEAR he gave you i know, it's so HARD though
right Was i Was a hall? Of fame Worthy year There's.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
A hall of fame season Does not Make a? Hall
of fame.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
Career, that's good question well what is it, you're on the?

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Committee, WHAT'S the criteria oh i Don't.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
PAY attention to no i mean there's a bunch of.
There they're well hoppy there is no criteria because. This
is never there there.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Is, there's, NO guideline no, No i mean no.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Well wait a second even if it's said you have
to play, here for four years that would have to
change now because people aren't going to play. Here for
four years you would have no One going Into the
hall of fame anymore.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Being one of the best basketball players. To, ever play Here.
YES hall of, fame.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
I. Don't know it's fun i've got.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
To eliminate numbers from the discussion which have been. Used,
in the past right that's always been a great barometer that.
Then step back further.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
He had one. Of the. Greatest seasons he did he
had one. Of, the greatest Seasons Like it's. The Joe
Alexander thing did joe alexander have like the most unbelievable? Month,
in school. History yeah probably did and. It's all we, remember,
and that's like right it's a it's a tough it's
and here's another thing these guys are going. Through In
Sports communications so jesse edwards was here for one year

(42:07):
and MADE it to the Nba Can and should west
virginia call HIM one of, their, nba players players right
do they?

Speaker 3 (42:15):
DO that or not i weigh in and, SAID yes
on this.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
I think you do He.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
Played for the Mountaineer do.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
YOU claim oscar sheibwey i said. Yes on that, too
wait a second?

Speaker 3 (42:25):
What's THE right way What i mean if Syracuse wants
to pay.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Kentucky Is going to claim kentucky's going to Put him In.
Their hall of fame what's.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
The difference between ending your? ELIGIBILITY there, versus beginning.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
I know see what, I told, those Guys i said former.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
Mountaineers that ARE. Playing In the nba Is?

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Oscar a?

Speaker 3 (42:39):
Former mountaineer, HE is.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
SO anyway, i didn't i mean this isn't. That's a
fun debate, It's a fun debate but this is what
sports communications offices are going through now because. Of this
transfer portal guys just bouncing. All over the place so. It's,
A fundamental question.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Yeah i that is, But Like to me javon small
would be a no, brainer, At. SOME point right. SHEIBEI i,
don't know I Mean there's a National, player of the.
YEAR but not here i.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
Know we played here if the heading is former. Mountaineers,
in the pros yeah you Played Here longer. Than, jesse
edwards Did.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Yeah longer Than.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Javon Longer than javon WHEN javon, makes an nba roster
are gonna claim that it's a. It's a good question, It's.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
A good question texter so you guys are, having in
your meetings, you're having these?

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Discussions, is, that correct well no because you. Have to
be out you have to be out for ten years in,
Order to be considered so the javan small question won't
come up. For, Nine, More years okay texter i'm very
disappointed that the best of the doughnuts. Are not being
mentioned the crunch flavor is far superior to the regular

(44:04):
and the bland. CHOCOLATE powdery sugar riders i would think
you sophisticated palettes would have recognized that you guys. Are
better than? That, thank, you disagree Hey guys This. IS
cameron from hurricane i just wanted to start off by
saying thank you for. All you guys do it's an
honor to even. Text, in oh wow secondly With Respects to,

Speaker 1 (51:29):
RIGHT just, work there i mean the high school senior
has had has the opportunity to get scholarships has been
reduced significantly because of the transfer.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
Port well at, the, Power four level correct but it's
going to load down and you're gonna get some good and.
You're gonna have opportunities at, the mid major level YOU'RE
gonna have. Great d two opportunities so that's almost like
it's going to. Be a Different path now that i've,
said this many times parents and athletes are going to
have to realize there's a different. Path, potentially for you
yeah go somewhere, Where you. Can play go produce and

(52:04):
as you're seeing now with some of these numbers that
are out there from guys that have had, okay years one, Year,
the money. Follows yeah go produce.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
That'd be a good stat it's probably out there brand
the number of players now that we're into this number
of PLAYERS who've gone from d two OR nonpower. Just go,
d two.

two to d one than it is Football or, basketball
