| 0:00.0 | all right let's get to the people uh we've heard from the texters and again look it's nothing |
| 0:05.5 | provocative michigan is national championship good michigan state is not um and and you just see the |
| 0:11.9 | separation now again would i like to see state emulate a little bit more what dusty may is doing well |
| 0:17.6 | sure go out and pay double what a kid is going to get in the NBA at 23 |
| 0:22.3 | years old and you can rely on a Yaxil Lenderboard because he's great, a grown man and he's really good. |
| 0:29.3 | You know, MSU still does this JCPenney catalog thing where it's like none of the guys |
| 0:35.0 | they went and got in the portal were elite. I mean, every school, like, Illinois does it an entirely different way, |
| 0:41.4 | where they just go out and they do all international players. |
| 0:45.5 | Which I don't mind. |
| 0:46.5 | Right. |
| 0:46.8 | It's just like those dudes are smoking, puffing heaters, |
| 0:50.8 | pounding beers at age 12, and they're playing against 30 year olds. |
| 0:54.6 | There's no set way of doing it, but everybody has their way. |
| 0:57.7 | Like, Izzo and like Calipari in Arkansas, he's not a real big fan of going into the portal either. |
| 1:05.8 | He's like he'd rather go out there and get his guy. |
| 1:09.2 | Look, I think the recruiting, you can, you can, and look, |
| 1:11.8 | I appreciate and I like the fact that, that Izzo is kind of re-energized on the recruiting |
| 1:17.4 | trail and they have a real nice class next year. He's got to be willing to bite down hard and |
| 1:22.0 | take four million bucks and go buy a 23-year-old, like a Graham E.K. or a Yaxil |
| 1:26.4 | Lenda Borg or whomever. |
| 2:00.8 | Because those grown-ass players down the stretch, it's not going to be an 18-year-old carrying you. No, right. Unless you got, you know, old boy from BYU. Oh, AJ DeBanzas? Yeah. But see, so I'm glad you said that. So like when, Rico, like, when you're starting to look at this, this class, whether it's A-Cuff, whether it's DeBonza, whether it's Boozer, like certain dudes are unicorns. The odds of getting one of those is not great. But like we talked about Duke a little bit. Like, Duke's got a couple. Right. |
| 2:16.3 | So it's just, yeah, you're right. If you can land one of those guys, I might come off that opinion. But I don't know. Do we have an AJ DeBanzah coming in next year? Yeah, one of them for Duke you were getting anyway because he's a legacy. You're getting him. No one, he wasn't going anywhere but Duke. Wait, the good boozer? |
