Mike Craven Dave Campbell Texas football here with TCU wide receiver Jack bash uh welcome to Media day you've kind of done this before right at LSU kind of what's the uh what's been the similarities differences between your experience this time around yeah I would say uh the differences are um we so we came last night you know we slept here um got to explore Vegas first time being here which has been pretty cool uh LSU we flew there to Atlanta the ball hall of fame um we kind of did it the morning of and then we came back um and also at SC me today no all the teams weren't there at the same time for the most part it was more only like one or two teams at a time so it's been cool to mingle a little bit with the other guys um I have some guys I know from other teams here so cool to just be able to see them see how they've been what's been up with them and all those different things you know Louisiana native went to LSU and then now now you're at TCU kind of what do you miss about Louisiana what do you like about Texas oh I couldn't love the DFW anymore I mean it has been so awesome um you know there's always stuff to do um you know going from Louisiana from where I'm from or to Baton Rouge you know there's not always that much to do just in Dallas Fort Worth um there's always there always stuff going on um you know there's awesome trainers around um all different things like that there's different places to go and um to get better at to train at all over the place um oh you know DFW I feel like is definitely a hub for athletes so it's cool just being around just all those different things missing the gumbo oh man the gumbo I do my aunt uh they actually lived my uncle he coached the Cowboys for a while so they lived down in Grapevine and um my aunt Louisiana native she can she can cook pretty well so whenever I need gumbo or a homemade meal from Louisiana I just head over there you know from talking to football players they always say the the injuries are more m than they are physical kind of what was that like going through that last year and and how you feeling now I would definitely have to agree with that you know going into being a great football player great athlete of any sort you know confidence is a huge thing you you have to have if you don't have it then um you just I feel like you won't be successful where that goes from being on a football field being the QB a receiver old lineman to going all the way to being a golfer you know if your confidence isn't there then you know you won't be able to execute and play to the best of your abilities so I would definitely have to agree with that but now uh you know being able to have a good spring and to able to really show that you know I'm still here and still able to do this at a super high level really gain back all my confidence and you know I'm so excited for this season you know what I'll be able to bring to the table you went up against it in the spring watched it in the spring kind how different is the defense this year than maybe it was last year oh night and day difference you know just all the different uh pressures that coach avos brings um all the different looks he gives you um he just disguises his um his different Play Goals super well um you know he does a really really good job at that um we got a really good transfer class we got some key guys we needed on defense that have are going to play a huge role and that had a really good spring as well so you know it's going to be a whole different look and you know I'm super excited to see what they can do and how they're going to help our team win second year at TCU second year with Kendall BRS as the OC how do you feel the offense is kind of more on sink or or whatever this spring yeah no 100% um you know I feel like we're I don't feel like I know we're going to have an electric offense um you know first year in a new offense is just sometimes a little shaky just because you know there's so many nuances um there's so much going on so many moving parts and now this second year you know I feel like we've all meshed you know we've got most of the nuances down that we're obviously still working on cuz you know we want to be perfectionists and to be able to reach being a you can never really reach that perfect state so you know you're always working to get better and better and better but I think we've done a fantastic job um coach you know he's really been helping us out with the offense and all of assistance and all of our coaches and you know I think all the guys we have so many impact players all over the ball whether that's on the old line tight ends um you know quarterbacks receivers running backs we have just so many guys that can make an impact um you know it's going to be a super fun year and like I said we're all o to get to game one Josh comes in you know plays the last half of last season uh didn't play in the spring but as as a wide receiver what impresses you about him and his just maturity level this young yeah no he has made a huge leap even from last year to this year just especially off the field just being that leader that we needed as a team that vocal leader during workouts um even not even in there just just being around the guys where that be eating lunch in the locker room um he's always keeping the guy sharp and on point and then on the field I mean he's a gunslinger he's one of the best I've been around um he has great pocket presence very smart protects the ball super well and he lets his Playmakers go make Place dressed really nicely right we see we see a lot of guys here who's the who's the sharpest dresser on the TCU football team I think you're looking at them right here no I'm messing uh I don't know we have a bunch of we have a good Style on the team so there's there's a good bit of them then lastly kind of what is your expectations for this TCU football team this year I I mean I think our our expectations for ourselves is just play at the standard that we know that we can play at you know we have a high standard that we've set for ourselves and no I think if we go out there and we play to that standard week in week out the sky's is a limit I think we can go do whatever we put our minds to and whatever we want to do all right sir appreciate you awesome thank you so much thank you [Applause]
