with the transfer po a lot of teams regardless as sport are trying to get older what made you guys comfortable in in going the younger rout I don't think it's a matter of a choice I just think that's the way it materialized you know so um just it wasn't any any any uh any decision on whether we wanted a younger team or an older team talk a lot about Joyce Bradley and how big he's been for you guys just kind of coming out of the gate setting the tone um and then on the radio show the other night talking about how 125 is a pretty open weight nationally and you're still trying to get him to do something yeah I mean I I mean right now you know I just uh you know don't don't lose sight of where you're at and what you're doing you know you're right I don't know we got some guys in the 20s and and 19s and and what that means is you you if you're in the 20s that you probably don't win a match at Nationals you know if you're 19 and you know in that in that range you might win one and and I mean not saying that's going to happen but I'm saying hey let's get ourselves up into that top six and and put ourselves in position we need to focus on you know um not just people that we competing against he needs to continue he's done a nice job but he needs to continue to listen and make sure that uh um he starts to bring some of these things that we're wanting out of him and and um it's definitely not it's not an effort problem efforts there conditioning this kid's good in great shape does a lot of stuff on his own far as extra and boy I tell you when you have I've got a lot of those guys it seems like this year that are putting a lot of time on their own and I can't give them something better you know when they're up here at 10:00 11:00 at night getting an extra run in it's pretty impressive yeah and he's one of those guys that uh uh is hard work yeah
