00:00 >> Yeah, I mean, the bottom line who makes it in this league to me,
00:03 it's the intangibles.
00:04 It's not what you see on tape, it's having to get to know the kid.
00:10 So I mean, I get 15 minutes with these guys officially here,
00:13 then I get a couple hour, one hour zooms.
00:16 I mean, it's everything you could get, whether it's resources from the school or
00:23 who's coached them in the past or whatnot to get what makes this kid tick.
00:28 That's a differentiator, they're intangibles by far.
00:31 It's not what you see.
00:32 A lot of guys have come here with all the talent in the world and
00:36 they get drafted in the first three rounds because of it.
00:38 But they drift away and they disappear.
00:40 And you get guys who were late round draft picks,
00:42 cuz you had the bare minimum talent.
00:44 But they had all the other stuff off the charts.
00:46 They carve out a little career for themselves, whether it's backup role
00:49 players or developing the starters or whatever that is.
00:52 Or some of those guys even wearing golden jackets.
