00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:07.160
We started talking about this yesterday. I kind of threw
2
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.199
it at you, Taylor at the end of a segment.
3
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:12.759
You didn't really get an opportunity to kind of dive
4
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.239
in tell us your thoughts. But we were talking about
5
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:21.600
Sam Levitt and his preparedness going into this twenty twenty
6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.679
six football season. First year with Lank Kiffin, a lot
7
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.359
of new faces on offense, pretty much entirely mostly new
8
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.120
faces on offense, and rightfully so.
9
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:34.359
Looking around.
10
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.039
I know he suffered, he had some injuries last season,
11
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:39.960
but we saw him play really well the year before that. Now,
12
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:44.000
of course came Scataboo is also kind of a leader
13
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.920
and like the more like polarizing player I guess on
14
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.200
that offense, but it was all led by a really,
15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.000
really good Sam Levitt. Now last year was a little
16
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.679
bit more quiet, but he did play well in spurts
17
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.159
when he was healthy. And then it's lsu foot injury.
18
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.359
We don't know what he is, doesn't really participate fully
19
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.599
in spring Now did probably maybe a little bit more
20
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.680
than we thought he might, maybe helpefully a little bit
21
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.680
more than the coaches and trainers thought he might, but
22
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.560
definitely very careful with Sam during spring y'all know my
23
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.079
feelings on spring training. I think it's dumb, so didn't
24
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.920
really need to do anything. But everything that we've seen
25
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.599
since then, all the stuff coming out this summer and
26
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.599
slam dunking over the goalpost, pretty sweet, slam dunk between
27
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:39.920
the legs, one handed boomshaka Laca. Then we saw or
28
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:44.200
heard at least that he ran twenty one miles per hour. Well,
29
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.799
a fully healthy Sam Levitt under the tutelage of Lane Kiffin,
30
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.439
and in Lane Kiffin's offense, on paper sounds and looks
31
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.799
really promising, really good, extremely dangerous. And why on paper,
32
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:06.319
because well, Layne Kiffen and old Miss. They take a
33
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.840
guy from Ferris, Trinidd Chambliss, who doesn't start until a
34
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.759
couple of games into the season, and by the end
35
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.840
of the season is looking like one of the best
36
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.319
quarterbacks in the country. F it's Mendoza of course, last
37
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.800
year the best, but after that Trinidad was playing the
38
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.319
best after that of anybody in the country. And I'll
39
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.319
put like you go watch the filmy nearly single handedly
40
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:33.080
kind of took his team to the championship game, to
41
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.360
the end of the road. So why can't it be
42
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.000
a guy that's already established. Why can't it be a
43
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:40.919
guy that's already done it at the biggest level, the
44
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.479
largest level. Now, I think Trinidad was also a very
45
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.120
big outlier. They land given in his staff also got
46
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.319
very fortunate with that, Like that's a home run hit.
47
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.319
It's like finding Tom Brady in the sixth round, right,
48
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.360
not making a comparison, just saying it's like finding that,
49
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.280
Like you got a little bit lucky. Now, luck is
50
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:03.560
like a where preparation and opportunity meet. That is what
51
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.680
luck is. And certainly he was. Trinidad was prepared. They
52
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.000
had a really good offense and he fit really well.
53
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.080
But it worked out like you're not going to do
54
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.360
that that that's a that's a little bit of an outlier.
55
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:19.599
But sam Levia been.
56
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.840
Fast, athletic, playing the game style that we have seen
57
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.840
him play before. And of course, you know, nobody around
58
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.800
here in South Louisiana or Louisiana has like was that
59
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.759
tuned in to Sam Levitt's game before. And two years
60
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.520
ago now, we watched the playoff game and we watched
61
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.240
them play in the exciting and they had some exciting games,
62
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.080
but we weren't tuned into his style of play, But
63
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:44.919
I think looking back on it now, it's something to
64
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.599
be really excited about. So Taylor, now that you've had
65
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.680
a day to think about it, I know you you
66
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.159
came in this morning and said you might have some
67
00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:00.280
other thoughts on this. If you had to take somebody
68
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:05.560
else over him in college football now there's rightfully so.
69
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.639
There are a handful of guys that are very talented
70
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.000
and had very good seasons last year, but his game
71
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:20.480
translating to Lane Kiffin's style of offense. How do you
72
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.639
feel about Sam Levit stacking up any of the top
73
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:24.959
guys in the country.
74
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.439
Again, I put him at four, just like I did yesterday.
75
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.360
I'm gonna stand by that. I put Julian say It
76
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.040
above him. There's a lot of people, in my opinion,
77
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.519
that aren't as high on him as they should be.
78
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:36.800
They're a big saying guy.
79
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.839
People forget he was a Heisman finalist a year ago.
80
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.000
I mean, he had over thirty touchdowns, single digit interceptions,
81
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.160
completed seventy seven percent of his passes. Jeremiah Smith's still there.
82
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.680
He loses Carnel tape, but I think Kyle Parker transferred
83
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:53.680
from LSU over there's going to be pretty good for him.
84
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.240
You got some players in your backfield back he's familiar
85
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.680
with the Ryan Day offense. I'll put down more ahead
86
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.759
of him, just because again he's back in that Oregon offense.
87
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.600
Is he even gonna start? They got Dom Dylan Rail
88
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:09.000
was there.
89
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:10.639
He just do you miss that?
90
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:11.319
You miss that?
91
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:12.160
I'm sorry.
92
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.639
I'll talked about that last week. Yeah, no, I missing that, Dylan.
93
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.639
Dante wasn't great against Indiana, But in fairness, who the
94
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.920
hell was? I mean, Todd Simpson was pretty bad against
95
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:24.680
Indiana and he just got drafted in the first round.
96
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.199
And there's a lot of people that thought Dante Moore
97
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.879
was probably QB two in the in the draft this
98
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.839
year if he would have went out. He's back once
99
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.560
again with Dan Lanning. There's familiarity there. I can't like,
100
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.800
I think Sam's gonna be great in Lane's offense. I
101
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.160
can't right now take him over Dante Moore.
102
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.800
I don't. I think that would show lsu bias. I don't.
103
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.040
I don't think that would be fair. We still need
104
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.240
to see Sam do it. And I'm gonna take Archie
105
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.279
Manning ahead of him. And I know there's people out
106
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.399
there that are gonna say you're just taking arch based
107
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.839
on his last name. No, no, no, I do agree
108
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.920
he was overrated coming into the season because we hadn't
109
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.360
seen it yet. But Archie Manning was really really good
110
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.160
down the street. Remember people clowned him for Florida. He
111
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.600
throws two picks against Florida on the road, like they
112
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.319
lose that game to a bad Florida team. After that,
113
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.600
he went seven and one with two interceptions to finish
114
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:12.120
out the season.
115
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:13.639
After the Florida game, his.
116
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.560
Last three games Arkansas, who's still an SEC team, A
117
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.040
and m who was number three at the time, Michigan,
118
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.879
who's number eighteen. He goes three to zero in those games,
119
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.279
nine touchdowns or seven touchdowns and no interceptions. He also
120
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.199
went ten rushing touchdowns a year ago. Ryan Wing goes back.
121
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.639
He's another year in Steve Sarkisian's offense. You know the
122
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.439
old line is gonna be good. They got cam Coleman
123
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.279
coming in, who was a the wide receiver in the
124
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.920
transfer portal. So this is more than just oh, it's
125
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.120
a lazy pick. You're taking this guy off of his name. No,
126
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.439
Archmandy was a good quarterback down the stretch, and he's
127
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.680
in that same offense. But outside of those three guys,
128
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:51.519
I'm not taking anybody over Sam Levitt.
129
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.800
I believe in Arkansas is still in the SEC.
130
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.120
Well I mean, yeah, they're terrible, but still an SEC.
131
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.360
Suttle jab at him a little bit like, Okay, so
132
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.639
arch Man, I think everybody can agree good quarterback. Yeah, okay,
133
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:15.839
you're putting him in a category of great. I'll take
134
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.600
him over CJ. Carr Notre Dame. And the reason I'm
135
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.040
saying you're put him in a category and you're not
136
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.040
saying he's a great quarterback, right, You're saying he's been
137
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:24.959
a really good quarterback, and he was a good quarterback
138
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.120
down the stretch. Now, a lot of people saw a
139
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.399
lot of casual football fans or people that aren't tuned
140
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.600
into every single game, just tuned in for Texas, Ohio
141
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.560
State or Lorida or whatever like in games that he
142
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.560
didn't necessarily play great in. So that's what they know of,
143
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.199
and that's probably and I don't think nashally there's like
144
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.800
Arch hate out there, but there was so much Arch
145
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.600
hype that the lack of hype now seems like Hayten
146
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:53.319
a little bit.
147
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.959
Right, I'm watching the Ohio State game last year, so
148
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.319
him struggle, which all of us in this room said,
149
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:02.079
this is a guy who's going into his first season
150
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:03.600
as a starter, having to play on the raid to
151
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.399
Ohio State. He was never winning that football game, but
152
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.319
was it gonna happen? It's too tough for a place
153
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.199
to play. You don't have any experience. A lot of
154
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:11.199
people watch that game.
155
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:12.360
Was like, oh, I do it.
156
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.279
He's overrated because he's a manning and they turned the
157
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:14.680
TV off.
158
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:15.120
It's good.
159
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.160
He was really good down the stretch a year ago.
160
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.519
Down the stretch and they also lost basically their entire
161
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.639
offensive line and then all their weapons too. So I
162
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.800
mean it was predictable that Texas was gonna have a
163
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.279
season like they had. Ye, he was hyped coming into
164
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.519
the season, but he was still, like Taylor said, go
165
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.039
down the stretch. I think he's gonna be a lot
166
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:34.720
better this season.
167
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.120
It's funny though, like I said, like the lack of
168
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.480
hype seems like hate for him because of how it
169
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.960
was last year. Like at SEC Media Days, like he
170
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:47.480
walked into the building and I swear I thought I
171
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.559
thought Queen Bee was walking in. I thought Beyonce herself
172
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.240
was walking in the building.
173
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.919
Yeah, because wasn't there a security.
174
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.120
There was people like and I'm talking reporters, and then
175
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:58.679
there was fans as well that were kind of in
176
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.639
the lobby of the of the College Football Hall of
177
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.320
Fame there in Atlanta and like swarming and people having
178
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.600
like part the sea of him to walk to it
179
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.440
like a press conference booth. I'm like, are you kidding me?
180
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.960
You got guys that are here that are proven players
181
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.559
that aren't getting close, Like, no, we're close to that.
182
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.399
You might have a camera following him, but like this
183
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.279
guy was getting treated it's like celebrity status, right, and
184
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.080
he never started unfair to him. Yeah, And I'm not
185
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.919
saying I'm not None of the hate is towards him
186
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.879
like that, and it's not even hate, it's just an observation, right,
187
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.320
Like he didn't ask for that, But it's a responsibility
188
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:40.399
that comes with unfortunately, like it or not, the responsibility
189
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.840
that comes with that name. So if you don't perform great,
190
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:44.960
it's gonna come off as hate.
191
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:45.960
So I do.
192
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:47.679
I do think he's gonna be really good this year.
193
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.039
Now will he get to that great category? And the
194
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:52.639
reason why I say you're kind of putting him in
195
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.519
that category is because this QB class, you know, at
196
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.759
least on paper, what seems to be, is going to
197
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:05.000
be so good. Like you have two quarterbacks that probably
198
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.600
now the Rams did fall in love with Ty Simpson.
199
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.840
So that's why I say probably who probably would have
200
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:14.840
been the second and third quarterback Dante Moore, Trinidad Chambliss,
201
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:19.080
both are staying in college football. Trinidad for some reason,
202
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.879
hats the NFL. Never seen a person want to go
203
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.080
to the NFL less he can't stand the NFL six
204
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.120
lawsuits to stay in college football. But that's why this
205
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.559
quarterback class coming up in the twenty twenty seventh draft
206
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.200
is seemingly going to be so good. Now, we said
207
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.440
that about twenty twenty six draft class as well, which
208
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:44.960
ended up being a weak class for quarterbacks. But that's
209
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:46.159
why I say, you're kind of putting him in the
210
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.960
great because you're putting him just behind Dante Moore. Now
211
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.080
Julian saying where he falls, I have no idea. I'm
212
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.000
not that familiar with his game because I didn't watch
213
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.200
a lot of the Ohio State games. Of course I'll
214
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.200
watch them against Texas early on, just because the curiosity
215
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.000
behind arc so we'll see, but I think that look, look,
216
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.600
there's if you look at it on paper, for LSU,
217
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.200
we have the number one player of the portal. Sam
218
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.440
Levitt is going to be the leader of this team,
219
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.159
the leader of this offense, an offense that has proven
220
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:23.200
to be good at multiple schools with multiple different quarterbacks,
221
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.840
quarterbacks that are far less like experienced, certainly far less
222
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.480
talented than what Sam Levitt is athletically. It's just can
223
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.440
he how fast can he get like ingratiated into this offense,
224
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.159
how fast can they install this offense.
225
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:37.879
It's the first year.
226
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.440
I kind of wish like Sam level was here in
227
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.600
Langkiffin's second year as the head coach.
228
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.639
That's kind of that.
229
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:47.360
Would be a more ideal situation. But it's it's gonna
230
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:51.240
be fun to watch. I'm excited about it. And on paper, again,
231
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.639
I think that he could have one of these years
232
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.840
where at some point during the season, I think a
233
00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.799
bare minimum, at some point during the season, if he
234
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.120
stays healthy, he will at least be in the discussion
235
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:06.080
about a potential trip to New York. And that's just
236
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.600
talking about the numbers based on the history of the
237
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.720
head coach and based on the skill set that he has.
238
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:12.200
Do you think I have him too high?
239
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.000
Because Levet at four is a lot higher than what
240
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.039
anybody nationally hasn't But I do have lovet at four.
241
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.679
I have him over Trinidad only because.
242
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:21.639
I don't have him over Trinidad.
243
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.879
Yeah, the abilities there for sure. I worry about your
244
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.919
entire offensive staff's gone. You lose a lot of your weapons.
245
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.200
I just we did it in the in the receiver tier.
246
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.240
I'm always a person of you're gonna have to show
247
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.159
me you can do it without this guy. Yeah, same
248
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.559
thing with Mensa, Like people love Darien Mensa. He's going
249
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:38.639
to a new school. How's he going to adopt to Miami.
250
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.480
I don't know, so I and I understand it.
251
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.960
That's gonna be a different one. Like they've Miami said
252
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:46.799
a home run the last couple of years. Yeah, with
253
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.799
they have been like you look up transfer portal quarterbacks
254
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.879
in the Dictionary of Miami that they pop up.
255
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:56.320
They've been nailing it well.
256
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.480
And you could say, okay, well, Taylor sam levit's a quarterback,
257
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.759
and a new said yeah, but I trust Link Kivin
258
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.000
and Charlie Weish Junior because Lane Kevin has done at
259
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.159
every stop like crystal Ball, great coach got to the
260
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.720
national championship. I got to see it with Darian Menzel.
261
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.240
I trust Sam Levitt he could run Lane's offensive thrive
262
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:13.919
on that. So I'm putting them ahead of both of
263
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:14.679
those guys because.
264
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.080
Of what I'm I am.
265
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.799
Again on June nineteenth, I'm not putting them ahead of
266
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.159
Trinidad yet, because of what I saw last year. I
267
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:30.919
can't unsee that his performance nearly had them. Well, I mean,
268
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.879
one play, one drive away from playing Indiana for the
269
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.440
National championship, Like who would have ever picked an Ole
270
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:45.679
miss versus Indiana National championship game? Because no, exactly, So
271
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.879
like I can't unsee that. And the way he was
272
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:53.679
playing was as goods Fernana Mendoza was playing at the time. Now,
273
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.120
that is probably an overstatement based on just a couple
274
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:00.600
of games performances. I get that, But I also have
275
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:07.399
to say if just because of the experience and the familiarity,
276
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:09.960
if Layne had a chance to get Trinidad, he would
277
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:11.399
have gotten over Sam.
278
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:12.480
I would assume.
279
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:17.080
I don't know that to be fact, I just have
280
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.559
to assume that just because of the familiarity he had,
281
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.320
So I'm gonna take that into account and I'm gonna
282
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:25.960
have them right there. So I'm gonna have Sam, I
283
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:26.440
probably FU.
284
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:29.120
I don't know if I'm.
285
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.039
I'm gonna have Trinidad higher than ARC, and then Sam
286
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.159
and ARC fighting for four and five. That would be
287
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.559
that would be kind of my list, right So, Dante,
288
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.480
I'm not familiar with this game as much. I'm just
289
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.200
I'm throwing respect to everybody else that's watched him, but
290
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.279
I got I got Trinidad as probably.
291
00:14:51.279 --> 00:15:05.639
Probably the number one guy right now. Assass
1
00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:07.160
We started talking about this yesterday. I kind of threw
2
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.199
it at you, Taylor at the end of a segment.
3
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:12.759
You didn't really get an opportunity to kind of dive
4
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.239
in tell us your thoughts. But we were talking about
5
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:21.600
Sam Levitt and his preparedness going into this twenty twenty
6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.679
six football season. First year with Lank Kiffin, a lot
7
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.359
of new faces on offense, pretty much entirely mostly new
8
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.120
faces on offense, and rightfully so.
9
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:34.359
Looking around.
10
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.039
I know he suffered, he had some injuries last season,
11
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:39.960
but we saw him play really well the year before that. Now,
12
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:44.000
of course came Scataboo is also kind of a leader
13
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.920
and like the more like polarizing player I guess on
14
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.200
that offense, but it was all led by a really,
15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.000
really good Sam Levitt. Now last year was a little
16
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.679
bit more quiet, but he did play well in spurts
17
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.159
when he was healthy. And then it's lsu foot injury.
18
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.359
We don't know what he is, doesn't really participate fully
19
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.599
in spring Now did probably maybe a little bit more
20
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.680
than we thought he might, maybe helpefully a little bit
21
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.680
more than the coaches and trainers thought he might, but
22
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.560
definitely very careful with Sam during spring y'all know my
23
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.079
feelings on spring training. I think it's dumb, so didn't
24
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.920
really need to do anything. But everything that we've seen
25
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.599
since then, all the stuff coming out this summer and
26
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.599
slam dunking over the goalpost, pretty sweet, slam dunk between
27
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:39.920
the legs, one handed boomshaka Laca. Then we saw or
28
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:44.200
heard at least that he ran twenty one miles per hour. Well,
29
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.799
a fully healthy Sam Levitt under the tutelage of Lane Kiffin,
30
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.439
and in Lane Kiffin's offense, on paper sounds and looks
31
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.799
really promising, really good, extremely dangerous. And why on paper,
32
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:06.319
because well, Layne Kiffen and old Miss. They take a
33
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.840
guy from Ferris, Trinidd Chambliss, who doesn't start until a
34
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.759
couple of games into the season, and by the end
35
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.840
of the season is looking like one of the best
36
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.319
quarterbacks in the country. F it's Mendoza of course, last
37
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.800
year the best, but after that Trinidad was playing the
38
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.319
best after that of anybody in the country. And I'll
39
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.319
put like you go watch the filmy nearly single handedly
40
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:33.080
kind of took his team to the championship game, to
41
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.360
the end of the road. So why can't it be
42
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.000
a guy that's already established. Why can't it be a
43
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:40.919
guy that's already done it at the biggest level, the
44
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.479
largest level. Now, I think Trinidad was also a very
45
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.120
big outlier. They land given in his staff also got
46
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.319
very fortunate with that, Like that's a home run hit.
47
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.319
It's like finding Tom Brady in the sixth round, right,
48
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.360
not making a comparison, just saying it's like finding that,
49
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.280
Like you got a little bit lucky. Now, luck is
50
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:03.560
like a where preparation and opportunity meet. That is what
51
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.680
luck is. And certainly he was. Trinidad was prepared. They
52
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.000
had a really good offense and he fit really well.
53
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.080
But it worked out like you're not going to do
54
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.360
that that that's a that's a little bit of an outlier.
55
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:19.599
But sam Levia been.
56
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.840
Fast, athletic, playing the game style that we have seen
57
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.840
him play before. And of course, you know, nobody around
58
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.800
here in South Louisiana or Louisiana has like was that
59
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.759
tuned in to Sam Levitt's game before. And two years
60
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.520
ago now, we watched the playoff game and we watched
61
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.240
them play in the exciting and they had some exciting games,
62
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.080
but we weren't tuned into his style of play, But
63
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:44.919
I think looking back on it now, it's something to
64
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.599
be really excited about. So Taylor, now that you've had
65
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.680
a day to think about it, I know you you
66
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.159
came in this morning and said you might have some
67
00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:00.280
other thoughts on this. If you had to take somebody
68
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:05.560
else over him in college football now there's rightfully so.
69
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.639
There are a handful of guys that are very talented
70
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.000
and had very good seasons last year, but his game
71
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:20.480
translating to Lane Kiffin's style of offense. How do you
72
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.639
feel about Sam Levit stacking up any of the top
73
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:24.959
guys in the country.
74
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.439
Again, I put him at four, just like I did yesterday.
75
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.360
I'm gonna stand by that. I put Julian say It
76
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.040
above him. There's a lot of people, in my opinion,
77
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.519
that aren't as high on him as they should be.
78
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:36.800
They're a big saying guy.
79
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.839
People forget he was a Heisman finalist a year ago.
80
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.000
I mean, he had over thirty touchdowns, single digit interceptions,
81
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.160
completed seventy seven percent of his passes. Jeremiah Smith's still there.
82
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.680
He loses Carnel tape, but I think Kyle Parker transferred
83
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:53.680
from LSU over there's going to be pretty good for him.
84
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.240
You got some players in your backfield back he's familiar
85
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.680
with the Ryan Day offense. I'll put down more ahead
86
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.759
of him, just because again he's back in that Oregon offense.
87
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.600
Is he even gonna start? They got Dom Dylan Rail
88
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:09.000
was there.
89
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:10.639
He just do you miss that?
90
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:11.319
You miss that?
91
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:12.160
I'm sorry.
92
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.639
I'll talked about that last week. Yeah, no, I missing that, Dylan.
93
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.639
Dante wasn't great against Indiana, But in fairness, who the
94
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.920
hell was? I mean, Todd Simpson was pretty bad against
95
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:24.680
Indiana and he just got drafted in the first round.
96
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.199
And there's a lot of people that thought Dante Moore
97
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.879
was probably QB two in the in the draft this
98
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.839
year if he would have went out. He's back once
99
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.560
again with Dan Lanning. There's familiarity there. I can't like,
100
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.800
I think Sam's gonna be great in Lane's offense. I
101
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.160
can't right now take him over Dante Moore.
102
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.800
I don't. I think that would show lsu bias. I don't.
103
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.040
I don't think that would be fair. We still need
104
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.240
to see Sam do it. And I'm gonna take Archie
105
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.279
Manning ahead of him. And I know there's people out
106
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.399
there that are gonna say you're just taking arch based
107
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.839
on his last name. No, no, no, I do agree
108
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.920
he was overrated coming into the season because we hadn't
109
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.360
seen it yet. But Archie Manning was really really good
110
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.160
down the street. Remember people clowned him for Florida. He
111
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.600
throws two picks against Florida on the road, like they
112
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.319
lose that game to a bad Florida team. After that,
113
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.600
he went seven and one with two interceptions to finish
114
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:12.120
out the season.
115
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:13.639
After the Florida game, his.
116
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.560
Last three games Arkansas, who's still an SEC team, A
117
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.040
and m who was number three at the time, Michigan,
118
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.879
who's number eighteen. He goes three to zero in those games,
119
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.279
nine touchdowns or seven touchdowns and no interceptions. He also
120
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.199
went ten rushing touchdowns a year ago. Ryan Wing goes back.
121
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.639
He's another year in Steve Sarkisian's offense. You know the
122
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.439
old line is gonna be good. They got cam Coleman
123
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.279
coming in, who was a the wide receiver in the
124
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.920
transfer portal. So this is more than just oh, it's
125
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.120
a lazy pick. You're taking this guy off of his name. No,
126
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.439
Archmandy was a good quarterback down the stretch, and he's
127
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.680
in that same offense. But outside of those three guys,
128
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:51.519
I'm not taking anybody over Sam Levitt.
129
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.800
I believe in Arkansas is still in the SEC.
130
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.120
Well I mean, yeah, they're terrible, but still an SEC.
131
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.360
Suttle jab at him a little bit like, Okay, so
132
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.639
arch Man, I think everybody can agree good quarterback. Yeah, okay,
133
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:15.839
you're putting him in a category of great. I'll take
134
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.600
him over CJ. Carr Notre Dame. And the reason I'm
135
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.040
saying you're put him in a category and you're not
136
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.040
saying he's a great quarterback, right, You're saying he's been
137
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:24.959
a really good quarterback, and he was a good quarterback
138
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.120
down the stretch. Now, a lot of people saw a
139
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.399
lot of casual football fans or people that aren't tuned
140
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.600
into every single game, just tuned in for Texas, Ohio
141
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.560
State or Lorida or whatever like in games that he
142
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.560
didn't necessarily play great in. So that's what they know of,
143
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.199
and that's probably and I don't think nashally there's like
144
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.800
Arch hate out there, but there was so much Arch
145
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.600
hype that the lack of hype now seems like Hayten
146
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:53.319
a little bit.
147
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.959
Right, I'm watching the Ohio State game last year, so
148
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.319
him struggle, which all of us in this room said,
149
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:02.079
this is a guy who's going into his first season
150
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:03.600
as a starter, having to play on the raid to
151
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.399
Ohio State. He was never winning that football game, but
152
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.319
was it gonna happen? It's too tough for a place
153
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.199
to play. You don't have any experience. A lot of
154
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:11.199
people watch that game.
155
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:12.360
Was like, oh, I do it.
156
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.279
He's overrated because he's a manning and they turned the
157
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:14.680
TV off.
158
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:15.120
It's good.
159
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.160
He was really good down the stretch a year ago.
160
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.519
Down the stretch and they also lost basically their entire
161
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.639
offensive line and then all their weapons too. So I
162
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.800
mean it was predictable that Texas was gonna have a
163
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.279
season like they had. Ye, he was hyped coming into
164
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.519
the season, but he was still, like Taylor said, go
165
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.039
down the stretch. I think he's gonna be a lot
166
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:34.720
better this season.
167
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.120
It's funny though, like I said, like the lack of
168
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.480
hype seems like hate for him because of how it
169
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.960
was last year. Like at SEC Media Days, like he
170
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:47.480
walked into the building and I swear I thought I
171
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.559
thought Queen Bee was walking in. I thought Beyonce herself
172
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.240
was walking in the building.
173
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.919
Yeah, because wasn't there a security.
174
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.120
There was people like and I'm talking reporters, and then
175
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:58.679
there was fans as well that were kind of in
176
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.639
the lobby of the of the College Football Hall of
177
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.320
Fame there in Atlanta and like swarming and people having
178
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.600
like part the sea of him to walk to it
179
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.440
like a press conference booth. I'm like, are you kidding me?
180
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.960
You got guys that are here that are proven players
181
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.559
that aren't getting close, Like, no, we're close to that.
182
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.399
You might have a camera following him, but like this
183
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.279
guy was getting treated it's like celebrity status, right, and
184
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.080
he never started unfair to him. Yeah, And I'm not
185
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.919
saying I'm not None of the hate is towards him
186
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.879
like that, and it's not even hate, it's just an observation, right,
187
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.320
Like he didn't ask for that, But it's a responsibility
188
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:40.399
that comes with unfortunately, like it or not, the responsibility
189
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.840
that comes with that name. So if you don't perform great,
190
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:44.960
it's gonna come off as hate.
191
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:45.960
So I do.
192
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:47.679
I do think he's gonna be really good this year.
193
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.039
Now will he get to that great category? And the
194
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:52.639
reason why I say you're kind of putting him in
195
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.519
that category is because this QB class, you know, at
196
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.759
least on paper, what seems to be, is going to
197
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:05.000
be so good. Like you have two quarterbacks that probably
198
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.600
now the Rams did fall in love with Ty Simpson.
199
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.840
So that's why I say probably who probably would have
200
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:14.840
been the second and third quarterback Dante Moore, Trinidad Chambliss,
201
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:19.080
both are staying in college football. Trinidad for some reason,
202
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.879
hats the NFL. Never seen a person want to go
203
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.080
to the NFL less he can't stand the NFL six
204
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.120
lawsuits to stay in college football. But that's why this
205
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.559
quarterback class coming up in the twenty twenty seventh draft
206
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.200
is seemingly going to be so good. Now, we said
207
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.440
that about twenty twenty six draft class as well, which
208
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:44.960
ended up being a weak class for quarterbacks. But that's
209
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:46.159
why I say, you're kind of putting him in the
210
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.960
great because you're putting him just behind Dante Moore. Now
211
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.080
Julian saying where he falls, I have no idea. I'm
212
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.000
not that familiar with his game because I didn't watch
213
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.200
a lot of the Ohio State games. Of course I'll
214
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.200
watch them against Texas early on, just because the curiosity
215
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.000
behind arc so we'll see, but I think that look, look,
216
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.600
there's if you look at it on paper, for LSU,
217
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.200
we have the number one player of the portal. Sam
218
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.440
Levitt is going to be the leader of this team,
219
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.159
the leader of this offense, an offense that has proven
220
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:23.200
to be good at multiple schools with multiple different quarterbacks,
221
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.840
quarterbacks that are far less like experienced, certainly far less
222
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.480
talented than what Sam Levitt is athletically. It's just can
223
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.440
he how fast can he get like ingratiated into this offense,
224
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.159
how fast can they install this offense.
225
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:37.879
It's the first year.
226
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.440
I kind of wish like Sam level was here in
227
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.600
Langkiffin's second year as the head coach.
228
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.639
That's kind of that.
229
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:47.360
Would be a more ideal situation. But it's it's gonna
230
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:51.240
be fun to watch. I'm excited about it. And on paper, again,
231
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.639
I think that he could have one of these years
232
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.840
where at some point during the season, I think a
233
00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.799
bare minimum, at some point during the season, if he
234
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.120
stays healthy, he will at least be in the discussion
235
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:06.080
about a potential trip to New York. And that's just
236
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.600
talking about the numbers based on the history of the
237
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.720
head coach and based on the skill set that he has.
238
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:12.200
Do you think I have him too high?
239
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.000
Because Levet at four is a lot higher than what
240
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.039
anybody nationally hasn't But I do have lovet at four.
241
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.679
I have him over Trinidad only because.
242
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:21.639
I don't have him over Trinidad.
243
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.879
Yeah, the abilities there for sure. I worry about your
244
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.919
entire offensive staff's gone. You lose a lot of your weapons.
245
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.200
I just we did it in the in the receiver tier.
246
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.240
I'm always a person of you're gonna have to show
247
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.159
me you can do it without this guy. Yeah, same
248
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.559
thing with Mensa, Like people love Darien Mensa. He's going
249
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:38.639
to a new school. How's he going to adopt to Miami.
250
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.480
I don't know, so I and I understand it.
251
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.960
That's gonna be a different one. Like they've Miami said
252
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:46.799
a home run the last couple of years. Yeah, with
253
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.799
they have been like you look up transfer portal quarterbacks
254
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.879
in the Dictionary of Miami that they pop up.
255
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:56.320
They've been nailing it well.
256
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.480
And you could say, okay, well, Taylor sam levit's a quarterback,
257
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.759
and a new said yeah, but I trust Link Kivin
258
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.000
and Charlie Weish Junior because Lane Kevin has done at
259
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.159
every stop like crystal Ball, great coach got to the
260
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.720
national championship. I got to see it with Darian Menzel.
261
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.240
I trust Sam Levitt he could run Lane's offensive thrive
262
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:13.919
on that. So I'm putting them ahead of both of
263
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:14.679
those guys because.
264
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.080
Of what I'm I am.
265
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.799
Again on June nineteenth, I'm not putting them ahead of
266
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.159
Trinidad yet, because of what I saw last year. I
267
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:30.919
can't unsee that his performance nearly had them. Well, I mean,
268
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.879
one play, one drive away from playing Indiana for the
269
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.440
National championship, Like who would have ever picked an Ole
270
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:45.679
miss versus Indiana National championship game? Because no, exactly, So
271
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.879
like I can't unsee that. And the way he was
272
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:53.679
playing was as goods Fernana Mendoza was playing at the time. Now,
273
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.120
that is probably an overstatement based on just a couple
274
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:00.600
of games performances. I get that, But I also have
275
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:07.399
to say if just because of the experience and the familiarity,
276
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:09.960
if Layne had a chance to get Trinidad, he would
277
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:11.399
have gotten over Sam.
278
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:12.480
I would assume.
279
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:17.080
I don't know that to be fact, I just have
280
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.559
to assume that just because of the familiarity he had,
281
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.320
So I'm gonna take that into account and I'm gonna
282
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:25.960
have them right there. So I'm gonna have Sam, I
283
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:26.440
probably FU.
284
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:29.120
I don't know if I'm.
285
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.039
I'm gonna have Trinidad higher than ARC, and then Sam
286
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.159
and ARC fighting for four and five. That would be
287
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.559
that would be kind of my list, right So, Dante,
288
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.480
I'm not familiar with this game as much. I'm just
289
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.200
I'm throwing respect to everybody else that's watched him, but
290
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.279
I got I got Trinidad as probably.
291
00:14:51.279 --> 00:15:05.639
Probably the number one guy right now. Assass
