what what were your main takeaways,
0:02
lessons from last season and what you
0:04
thought needed to change coming into
0:06
this year?
0:08
You just got to bring it uh day in day
0:11
out in practice uh open gyms
0:15
uh all that you got to have that unity
0:17
as a team and if it's on the court but
0:20
not off the court or if it's off the
0:23
court but not on the court uh you're
0:24
going to struggle and learn a lot. Those
0:26
are some of the biggest things and just
0:28
continuing just to battle through
0:29
adversity was also one of the biggest
0:31
things. We went through a lot of ups and
0:33
downs last year. Uh but we tried our
0:36
best to stay together as one, hold each
0:37
other accountable, just stay as a group
0:39
and we did a good job in that aspect,
0:41
but those are some of the biggest things
0:42
I took away.
0:43
I know you got James and Zayen here, but
0:46
lots of new faces. At what point was it
0:48
no longer strange you know we just have
0:50
all these new guys you have to get to
0:52
know you have to sort of show them the
0:54
way and and leave but also continue
0:56
doing your thing.
0:57
Yeah I mean our team we came together
1:00
and jailed super super quick. I mean say
1:03
maybe the first couple weeks max things
1:04
are like all right you know the guy
1:06
these guys are still strangers this and
1:08
that but I'd say max maybe 14 days maybe
1:12
even 10 days. I mean we came together
1:13
really really quickly. Uh we bonded, we
1:16
jailed quickly and and it carried to on
1:19
the court too. I mean we hung out off
1:21
the court all the time. We still do. And
1:24
and I mean just the the way the way we
1:26
came together on the court in such a
1:27
quick amount of time was it was super
1:29
impressive. It was super impressive. Uh
1:31
so
1:32
is there an element of this that's kind
1:34
of fun with all these new guys and just
1:36
sort of the uncertainty and unknown that
1:38
lays ahead?
1:39
I guess when you look at it that way. Uh
1:42
I'm I never really looked at it that
1:44
way,
1:45
but I mean
1:48
I guess when you have a lot of new guys,
1:50
a lot of new different things, it's a
1:51
different composition than last year,
1:53
right? Right.
1:54
Last year got kind of difficult at
1:55
times. I mean, you articulated that. Is
1:57
it fun with the idea of all the
1:59
differences that you guys can kind of
2:00
lay out?
2:01
Absolutely. Absolutely. I think we'll be
2:03
a much different team uh than the team I
2:06
was on previously this past year uh in
2:10
in good ways of course. So I mean that
2:12
is very exciting uh very hopeful to see.
2:16
So yeah there is that fun aspect of it
2:19
there is.
2:20
So you're you're saying that you guys
2:22
had jailed quickly. The newest of all
2:24
the new additions is Luca who who still
2:27
just got here recently. like what would
2:30
be your early impressions on just him as
2:32
a player, him as a person, how he can
2:35
fit in and and you know just what he's
2:38
bringing to the table.
2:39
Uh well, Luka as a person super funny,
2:42
uh super personable. He just wants to
2:43
get to know you. He's just super curious
2:46
about just American culture, you know,
2:48
what we do, how we hang out, you know,
2:50
what we eat, whatever it is. Uh but
2:53
super funny guy. Super funny guy. I
2:55
think he's really funny unintentionally.
2:57
uh just because you know he's coming
2:58
over from Montenegro. He's just so
3:00
curious about things. But as a player
3:02
too, he's just an incredible basketball
3:03
player. Uh plays his own pace. Uh he's
3:06
looking for a shot. He's ultra
3:07
aggressive on the offensive end and it
3:09
just brings just another huge aspect to
3:13
our team that you know that that we that
3:15
we could really that we could really
3:16
use. So I'm super excited for that.
3:18
How is his just to follow up real quick,
3:20
how is his English?
3:21
It's really good, actually. It's really
3:23
good. You can't you know get too deep
3:24
into your slain. you know, he may not
3:26
understand some things. You know, us us
3:28
Gen Z, we got a whole bunch of different
3:30
lanes, so we got to be selective with
3:32
that. But his English is really good.
3:34
There's no like there's no barriers or
3:35
anything on the court with us. Uh we had
3:37
our first struggle yesterday, me and
3:40
him. He was trying to explain something
3:42
to me and we didn't have that much of
3:44
time to do it and he said something very
3:46
fast and I I I told him I had zero idea
3:49
what he said. So, we spoke about after
3:51
practice, but otherwise it's really
3:53
good.
3:53
I was actually involved on that, too.
3:55
like you said the funny unintentionally.
3:57
Do you have any?
3:59
Uh just him playing a song that nobody
4:02
would think he knew and then he's just
4:05
sitting there smiling, bopping his head,
4:07
you know, just just looking for
4:09
approval. We're all just hyping him up,
4:10
you know. Something like that. Something
4:12
like that that just makes it
4:14
unintentionally funny.
4:15
Yeah. And you have um played kind of a
4:17
role like a recruiter almost um over the
4:19
offseason. That's something that Hubert
4:21
talked with us recently about. Um, I
4:22
know you mentioned in an interview in
4:24
April that like in particular you had a
4:26
really good feeling when you left the
4:28
dinner with Henry. What do you remember
4:31
about that and what was it about him
4:33
that you kind of left that?
4:34
Uh, the dinner just flowing so smooth. I
4:36
mean, every dinner did this this this
4:38
past summer, this past recruiting trail,
4:40
but I don't know. I just had such a good
4:42
feeling with Henry. Uh, everything that
4:44
he was asking, he was super I mean,
4:46
everything was just flowing super
4:47
smooth. He was super invested. He had a
4:50
bunch of questions, not just for Coach
4:51
Davis and the rest of the staff, but for
4:53
me and other players, he had questions
4:55
for JB. Uh, you know, we would talk
4:58
about like how he could see himself
5:00
fitting in and he'd say me and you or,
5:03
you know, you and I. So, just stuff like
5:05
that. Uh, but yeah, the hints were
5:07
there. I mean, it was just it was a
5:09
really good dinner overall. Uh, and I
5:12
was really confident leaving. Seth, I
5:14
know you've done some interviews about
5:15
your new ice cream shop, but just how
5:17
does it feel to be a franchise owner and
5:19
kind of tell us a story about how that
5:20
came to be?
5:22
Uh, it's super cool. Uh, it's it's it's
5:24
more than a blessing uh to be able to
5:27
call myself a franchise owner at just
5:29
especially in the position I am. uh just
5:32
trying my best to set my own path, be my
5:36
own person, and you know, set an example
5:37
for athletes to come as, you know, the
5:40
NIO life just keeps expanding and keeps
5:42
growing and more opportunities keeps
5:44
coming just for for players like me. Uh
5:46
but it's just something I've always
5:49
thought about. I've always wanted to be
5:51
more than a basketball player. Uh and
5:54
the idea of entrepreneurship has always
5:55
been in my head. My parents have set,
5:57
you know, a great way for me and they've
5:59
set a great path for me just to follow.
6:00
And uh I had the opportunity just a few
6:04
months ago started, you know, to be in
6:06
talks with Ben Jerry's on Franklin
6:07
Street. So the opportunity came about,
6:09
sat down with my parents and, you know,
6:11
we were all super excited and investing
6:13
on it, so we jumped on it.
6:14
Are they going to like call you if the
6:16
cooler breaks in the middle of the
6:17
night?
6:18
I think my dad will take that. He'll
6:20
he'll take that hit. My parents doing a
6:22
great job helping me out. Uh they're
6:24
there at the start all the time. Uh but
6:26
yeah, I'm going say sleep. I'm going say
6:29
sleep. Basketball is more important.
6:31
So for you, obviously several of the
6:32
guys that have come in through the
6:34
transfer portal, they have some college
6:36
basketball experience. You're really the
6:37
one that has the experience, you know,
6:39
within this program, things like that.
6:40
How has the responsibility changed for
6:43
you to kind of not only integrate the
6:45
new guys, but communicate to them what
6:47
playing in North Carolina is like? For
6:48
example, uh when we talked to Hubert, he
6:50
was kind of talking about the importance
6:51
of the standard and staying there,
6:53
maintaining it. How much for you as a
6:55
player have you been communicating that
6:57
to somebody?
6:58
Uh it's been a huge part of my job. Uh
7:00
I've really taken ownership into that
7:02
part. Feel like I kind of like started
7:05
taking ownership in that you know
7:06
halfway through the season last year and
7:08
I've kind of just embraced it uh since.
7:11
But I mean, coach does an amazing job of
7:14
continuing to remind us. And, you know,
7:15
I just continue just to try and be an
7:18
extensive him uh of him of just how
7:20
important it is, you know, to to wear
7:23
this jersey with pride when you're
7:24
wearing it to represent this jersey when
7:27
you're out on Franklin Street or when
7:29
you're back home, you're in Riley,
7:32
wherever you are. just to just to have
7:34
pride in who it is you're playing for,
7:37
like what it is you're playing for, the
7:39
team, the community, the fans around
7:41
you. Uh, I just try I try and hone hone
7:44
in on it as much as I can and just and
7:47
just, you know, speak that to my
7:49
teammates as much as I can. And I feel
7:52
like I've done a good job. Guys
7:53
definitely understand what it means to
7:55
play here. Uh, if you ask them, they can
7:57
all give you, you know, their own
7:58
examples on what it means to them. But
8:01
it all kind of comes back and it all
8:02
correlates to what coach Davis tells us
8:04
at the end of the day. So
8:06
you said you embraced that, you know, at
8:07
some point last year as well. When
8:09
thinking back to that time, was that
8:11
easy to do? Was that something you had
8:12
to kind of get out of your comfort zone
8:14
to do? Like how was that process?
8:16
Uh I've always seen myself as a leader.
8:18
I mean I've always I know my freshman
8:20
and sophomore year I had amazing leaders
8:22
here. So
8:24
in a way I'll say I took a backseat in a
8:27
way. But I've always seen myself as a
8:29
leader in high school. I was always a
8:30
guy who pushed my teammates. I was
8:32
always a guy who got on my teammates
8:34
when needed to be, who who, you know,
8:37
carried my teammates and needed to be,
8:38
who held them up. Uh, and that's just
8:41
who I wanted to continue to be. Uh, it
8:43
it helps people. It allows people to
8:45
grow when there's that leadership and
8:47
and I think I'm capable of doing it. So,
8:50
I mean, it's nothing new. Uh, no new
8:52
surprises or anything for me. So, I'm
8:54
just continuing just to embrace it. Like
8:56
I said,
8:57
you've been around this program for a
8:58
long time. from when JP first got here
9:00
as a freshman to to now. In fact, Coach
9:03
Davis has kind of seen you grow up in
9:04
that way from being just JP's little
9:07
brother to being your own man. And he
9:09
says how much this program means to you
9:10
and how you want it to be consistently
9:12
good. You basically leave it better than
9:14
you found it. In your words, how much
9:16
does this program mean to you? How much
9:18
has it been a part of your life?
9:19
I mean,
9:21
um, in this era, uh, to stay here for
9:25
four years, I think speaks a lot. to
9:27
enter the transfer portal and
9:31
literally not be able to leave I think
9:33
speaks a lot. Uh I mean this university
9:36
means everything to me. I mean I'm
9:38
growing up a Carolina fan. My family's
9:40
growing up a Carolina fan. I've I've had
9:42
support for all these years and I've
9:45
just been able to grow as a man. I mean
9:47
forget basketball. The young man I've
9:49
became here, the lessons I've learned,
9:51
like all the experience I've been able
9:53
to have, the connections I've built.
9:55
It's I mean it's you can't get all these
9:58
things anywhere else. Uh and it really
10:01
just means a lot to me. I'm super
10:02
thankful for it. I mean just when I'm
10:06
praying at night I speak about how
10:07
thankful I am for this university. I
10:09
mean it's it's I mean it's a blessing.
10:12
It's a blessing just to put it you know
10:14
in a few words. How what kinds of role
10:18
as a point guard differ from say Elliott
10:20
last year or other point guards you
10:22
played with and what does his skill set
10:25
maybe allow the team to do this year
10:27
that was maybe more difficult last year?
10:30
Uh well kind he's just embracing the
10:35
role that any point guard should
10:36
embrace. uh being a being a voice of the
10:39
team, uh being a leader, being an
10:41
extension of the coach, uh and just
10:43
being confident so everybody else can be
10:45
confident on the court. I mean, he's
10:47
played amazing this summer. He's getting
10:49
to his spots. He has a patient game. Uh
10:51
he's an elite shooter, as y'all know,
10:54
and uh a really good passer. He's been
10:56
able to create opportunities for all of
10:58
us this summer. And I we'll just
11:01
continue to play off of him. Uh he'll be
11:02
really good for us. Uh and and and Yeah.
11:06
Yeah. Seth, you had to wear a lot of
11:08
hats, like strictly from a basketball
11:09
perspective last year. What do you sort
11:11
of see being your your most important
11:13
role this year on the court? And what
11:15
were some of the things you wanted to
11:16
work on most this summer?
11:18
My role
11:22
just I mean just being that guy in
11:24
hindsight, you know, being the guy that
11:26
your teammates can rely on. Being a guy
11:28
when Coach Davis needs something, I can
11:30
go get it. Whether it's a defensive
11:32
stop, it's a rebound, it's a game time
11:35
bucket, whatever it is, just being that
11:37
guy that coach Davis can rely on. Uh we
11:40
built such a good relationship over the
11:42
last four years and I feel like I've
11:43
continued to grow and grow as a player
11:45
that he can rely on me and I can rely on
11:49
him knowing that he relies on me, you
11:51
know. So, uh just being that guy. And
11:54
then, uh what was your second question?
11:55
What did you work on this summer? What
11:56
did you want to improve most?
11:57
Oh. Oh, I mean I mean everything.
11:59
everything. This summer, um, we've been
12:02
working on playing on the ball more. Uh,
12:04
last year, which is how many guards we
12:05
had, it was limited for everybody. So,
12:07
this summer, I've been on the ball a lot
12:08
more. Decision- making, uh, reading the
12:11
pocket pass, coming off screens, ready
12:12
to shoot, off the dribble, shooting has
12:14
been huge. Uh, movement shooting has
12:17
been huge. But, just continuing just to
12:20
expand my game as as a league guard, as
12:23
a league guard has been has been the
12:24
biggest push. Seth, I can't imagine
12:26
you'll have to guard as many fours this
12:28
year. What's it been like with with guys
12:32
like Henry and Caleb and and Jiren team
12:35
so far?
12:36
It's I mean it's a blessing. It's a
12:38
blessing. I I still talk about it. I I
12:40
still tell them how thankful I am for
12:42
them cuz now I don't have to guard guys
12:44
who are 610, 240 or something like that.
12:47
So, it's a huge blessing. And then just
12:49
the thing about them too, they're not
12:50
just big. They have so many aspects of
12:52
their game. Like Henry, from what I've
12:55
seen this summer, he's an incredible
12:56
shooter. Jiren is lights out shooter.
12:58
Caleb is so dynamic. He can shoot the
13:00
ball. He can put the ball on the floor
13:02
and he can go and shut down, you know,
13:04
the the opposing team's best player. So,
13:07
all of our bigs are so dynamic. I mean,
13:09
just as well as their size. Plus, with
13:10
everything that they can do it, we have
13:12
a our front court has a chance to do
13:14
really has a chance to do something
13:16
really special this year. So, I'm very
13:18
thankful for them. along those lines. Go
13:21
ahead.
13:21
When when you're recruit I'm just
13:22
curious when you're recruiting transfers
13:24
or whoever it is to come here. What's
13:25
your number one sell in terms of hey
13:28
come to Carolina because if you had to
13:29
pick one thing this reason.
13:32
I mean I guess the thing I consistently
13:35
tell these guys I mean is that we need
13:38
them. You know we're not recruiting them
13:39
for no reason. We're not recruiting them
13:42
because coach Davis is bored and he just
13:43
wants to bring Henry in on the visit
13:45
like is because we need these guys and
13:47
they have a chance and the opportunity
13:49
to impact this university like like like
13:52
many people dream about. I mean, there's
13:54
so many people who would kill to be
13:57
right here in this seat answering
13:59
questions to y'all and uh just continue
14:01
to spread messages like that, remind
14:04
them that we need them, reminding them
14:06
and just letting them know that they can
14:07
be such a pivotal piece. Uh and just
14:10
keeping it real with them. I mean, I
14:11
guess telling the truth is part of my
14:13
pitch. Seth, what I was going to ask you
14:15
real quick about what you were saying
14:17
with the skill of the bigs that you have
14:19
on this team like and with off the
14:22
dribble shooting like you're talking
14:23
about like in the half court, do you
14:25
maybe see this group playing more pick
14:27
and roll type stuff when when you get
14:30
into a half court set and you're running
14:31
something than opposed to previous years
14:34
just because of the skill of the bigs?
14:36
Well,
14:38
I maybe I won't say more. I don't know.
14:41
Well, I mean, I'll just have to tell you
14:42
just to wait and see. But last year, uh,
14:46
we ran so much pick and roll, it's kind
14:48
of hard to say whether or not we're
14:50
going to do more or less this year, but
14:52
we will be playing in the pick and roll
14:53
a lot. Our bigs are such dynamic.
14:55
They're very good poppers.
14:57
Uh, they're great rollers. Uh, they're
14:59
great screeners. So, we're going to have
15:01
to use that to to, you know, play to the
15:04
best of our abilities. But to answer if
15:06
it's going to be more or less, I'm not
15:08
really sure yet. I'm not really sure
15:09
yet. But it'll be the right amount.
15:11
Whatever it'll be will be the right
15:13
amount.
15:13
Was there something about Henry's game
15:14
that kind of jumped out that surprised
15:16
you and that you saw a couple times and
15:18
you continue to see it again and again
15:20
and again?
15:21
Uh
15:23
that he can jump like like he's not just
15:26
tall. He's not just a 7 foot foreign
15:30
guy, you know, who you just see he can
15:31
just dunk the ball. Like he can I can
15:33
really throw it up to Henry. He's going
15:34
to go get it. He's such a a dynamic
15:37
roller. if I throw him a pocket pass and
15:39
I'm leading him a little bit, he just
15:40
has this burst out to the ball to to
15:43
beat the opposing big and it's just it's
15:46
something that not a lot of bigs have
15:47
and it's going to create a lot of
15:48
opportunities for us. It's going to open
15:49
up our games a lot and he's going to be
15:51
able to create and just feed off himself
15:53
for that. But
15:54
how much does his athletic ability
15:56
enable him to be able to get the loss
15:58
from you could start one place and get
16:00
the lob because can get there so
16:03
quickly? I'm not too sure because he is
16:04
seven foot so
16:08
Yeah. I mean, no, but like for a
16:09
sevenfooter, he is he is very athletic.
16:12
He's very athletic. He's very dynamic.
16:15
He's quick. He can move his feet. So,
16:18
it's it's definitely better than, you
16:20
know, the average seven player that you
16:21
see in college basketball. I'll say
16:22
that.
16:23
So, I know a lot of guys have come to
16:25
you for on the court stuff as you've
16:26
been around here for a long time. Uh,
16:29
since you've become an entrepreneur,
16:30
have you gotten any guys come to you and
16:32
ask you any advice about that off the
16:33
court as well?
16:34
Uh,
16:36
none really in the locker room. They
16:37
just give me a bunch of kudos. Uh, they
16:39
support my business like Zayen. Zayen
16:42
has been there. It's it's leading up to
16:44
an unhealthy amount of times, but I I
16:46
won't say it's unhealthy yet, but
16:48
they've been huge supporters of me. But
16:50
I mean, yeah, I have had some athletes
16:52
reach out uh on social media just asking
16:55
questions, uh just saying
16:57
congratulations, how'd you get into it,
16:59
stuff like that. So, yeah.
17:01
Cayenne and Henry both mentioned that
17:03
you were the reason why they decided to
17:05
come to UNC,
17:07
especially, you know, at least a little
17:08
bit. I might I might be put words in
17:10
their mouth overselling it a bit, but
17:11
what does that mean to you? Um that you
17:13
just have such an impact. Obviously,
17:14
it's you know, you have a pitch for for
17:16
transfers, but to know that that makes
17:17
an impact, what does that mean to you?
17:18
Uh, it means a lot. It means a lot. Like
17:20
I said earlier, I mean, it means a lot
17:22
because like I'm really telling the
17:25
truth to these guys. So, just the fact
17:27
that they can believe me, uh, and they
17:30
can they can just trust me after an
17:34
hour, two hour dinner, uh, means so
17:37
much. Speaks highly on their character,
17:39
speaks highly on my character, and just
17:42
speaks on the relationship that I have
17:44
with these guys already. Like, I'm super
17:45
close with Henry already. I'm super
17:47
close with Ken already. They're probably
17:49
two of my favorite people to play with
17:50
as of right now. Just the way they move
17:52
the ball, the way they play, uh, and the
17:54
way they just compliment me and the rest
17:56
of the team. But, I mean, it speaks it
17:58
speaks a lot and it speaks a lot of
18:00
volume, not just on me, not just on
18:01
those guys, but on this university, too.
18:03
Cuz like I said, everything that I told
18:05
was no lies. Had no reason telling you
18:07
lies. Everything I told was the truth.
18:09
And
18:10
if it sells you, I mean, it just speaks
18:12
highly in this university. Seth, you've
18:14
spoken April just about wanting to work
18:16
on like your mental side of the game.
18:18
Something that you talked about in the
18:19
past. I wrote down I had to go back and
18:21
find this, but in the offseason before
18:22
your sophomore year, you talked about a
18:25
David Gogins book, Can't Hurt Me, Master
18:28
Your Mind, and Define the Odds. I'm
18:30
curious like when you talked about like
18:32
working on the mental this offseason,
18:34
did you go back to that book or was
18:36
there maybe a book podcast like
18:37
something that you actually physically
18:39
opened or did that was maybe like
18:42
helpful to you? Yeah, I didn't read any
18:43
books this off seasonason. Uh
18:47
I mean, but I've worked with uh you
18:50
know, one of my mentors. Uh I see him as
18:52
a mental coach. He's he's given me so
18:55
many tricks and tools just to, you know,
18:57
to counter you know, bad thoughts or
18:59
whatever it is, but just to get that
19:00
extra edge on the mental side. And I've
19:03
been going at that, I mean, all summer.
19:05
I've been using those tools, been using
19:06
those tactics uh whenever I need to,
19:09
whenever needed be. And just how it went
19:12
a long way last year, it's gone a long
19:13
way this year. I mean, just continue to
19:15
sharpen this side of the game. Uh, it's
19:18
the most important thing in basketball,
19:19
I think. And it it takes guys such a
19:22
long way when they really realize, you
19:23
know, how how important it is. So,
19:25
time for a couple more. Two more.
19:26
So, So, what about the challenges of
19:28
that concussion last season? It didn't
19:30
seem like you found your perimeter shot
19:32
afterwards that you had before. Did you
19:34
feel like you ever got your game back to
19:37
the level it was beforehand after the
19:39
concussion?
19:40
You know, I didn't. Uh I didn't get my
19:42
game back after that concussion. I had
19:45
good games. I had bad games. But the
19:47
biggest things was just the
19:49
inconsistency. Uh after my concussion, I
19:52
was fighting, fighting, fighting. And I
19:54
honestly think that was part of the
19:55
problems because I was trying so hard
19:57
just to get it back uh and not just let
20:00
it flow. But it is what it is. I mean,
20:02
the concussion definitely affected me uh
20:05
in that second half of the season, but
20:07
I'm not going to sit here and just blame
20:09
it on that cuz I'm sure I'm not the only
20:11
one who's had a concussion that's had to
20:12
come back and play. Uh so, it is what it
20:16
is. I mean, it did, but I don't know.
20:19
It's in the past. So,
20:20
I guess kind of a good old battle, so to
20:22
speak.
20:22
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was it was when
20:25
you get a concussion, everything, like
20:28
quite literally everything is thrown
20:29
off. your rhythm, your feel, the way you
20:32
process things on the court, the way you
20:34
see, uh quite literally everything in
20:38
your body is thrown off. So, you just
20:40
got to work on all that. But luckily,
20:42
I've had months since since it's
20:44
happened, so I think we're good now.
20:46
Sure. We got time for one more. I know
20:48
several more have put. He'll be October
20:50
7th. He'll be at media day and he'll
20:52
probably be with us before we leave BYU.
20:54
So, last one here. Seth to kind of go
20:56
back to your NIL endeavors, how would
20:58
you kind of describe sort of the
20:59
importance of NIL for players like you
21:02
and also for the program as a whole? And
21:04
also, do you have any plans for Ben and
21:06
Jerry's in the future?
21:07
Uh, well, I'll just speak on the Ben &
21:09
Jerry's part real quick. I'm I'm going
21:11
sit here and keep it a secret. I I'll
21:13
give y'all one. I'm trying to get Coach
21:14
Roy a flavor here on Franklin Street.
21:16
That's that's one thing I really want to
21:18
do. I think he's earned it. I think he's
21:19
done enough to to get himself a flavor.
21:22
He's great to my family. He's great to
21:24
his university. So I won't try and do
21:25
that to him. I got to talk to corporate.
21:27
So we'll see what they say. Uh we'll see
21:30
what they say. But I'm sorry I need you
21:33
to repeat the first part of your
21:34
question.
21:35
Just like the importance of NIL for the
21:37
program and also if once you graduate,
21:39
how do you plan to be sort of involved
21:41
in those NIO efforts?
21:42
Yeah. I mean NIO is
21:45
well first of all it's important the
21:46
program cuz to get players now you you
21:49
have to have it. You know if you don't
21:51
have it you won't get players. But it's
21:53
huge. It puts young players like me,
21:55
young men, uh young women all over this
21:58
university in in just such, you know,
22:01
grateful positions and such huge
22:03
positions that we're fortunate to just
22:05
just to call blessings. Uh it wasn't
22:07
this way years ago. And now just the
22:10
fact that I can be at a university I
22:13
love and capitalize really capitalize
22:16
off my name, my image, the things I do
22:19
is I mean just it's huge and it's going
22:21
to go a long way for us players. uh
22:23
it'll go a long way for for this
22:26
university and bring in the right people
22:27
to hopefully get some championships, but
22:30
it just continues to benefit college
22:32
basketball, college football, just the
22:34
NCAA in a whole. So, I think it's a
22:36
blessing.
22:37
Thank you everybody. Appreciate
