00:00 What we've been doing, because Ty got hurt early in practice and hasn't been able to return,
00:09 so he and his family and the doctors agreed that it would be best for him to just forego his future
00:16 and help us start coaching and get his degree. But it'll still be the same.
00:20 It'll be Brian, we call him Q, Q will be the backup center,
00:27 and he really backs up at all three places inside.
00:31 He's got both guards and the center.
00:34 And then you've got Steven Adorno that's doing the same.
00:37 Steven is playing, I mean Jonathan, excuse me.
00:41 You've got Jonathan Adorno who's doing the same.
00:43 He will play center and both guards.
00:45 So we've been doing that since Ty got hurt early in the year
00:50 because Ty was actually playing the second spot at center.
00:54 And I'm just, again, I said it on Monday, but I'm so impressed with our coaches
01:01 that at a year with COVID and some kids getting sick and guys getting hurt,
01:07 that Stacy Searles has been able to play Joshua Zudu at all four spots other than center.
01:16 And then he's able to mix these guys up inside.
01:19 And then when Jordan Tucker got hurt, he moved Marcus McKeithen outside to tackle.
01:24 So these guys have done an amazing job this year of not griping about COVID,
01:30 not griping about injuries, just picking it up and moving forward
01:34 and getting them ready for the game.
01:36 Well, it does, and it's late, you know, and we can't have any visits.
01:41 So we'll probably start looking at that more for next year.
01:46 Greg, it'd probably be in the 22 class more than the 21 class.
