This was a lot of fun to record. Jaz was awesome. Look for more of this coming over the next few months.

One of the best player interviews (Cyclone or other) that I've heard.
Loved to hear Jaz's perspective on things and he is no doubt a great representative for Cyclone athletics.

Great interview - couldn't believe how quickly that podcast went. He is definitely one of our favorite players in our household and very happy he will be back next season!

Jaz is slowly becoming one of my favorite Cyclones.

The interview flew by too. We started and all of a sudden I realized it had been nearly an hour.

Fun interview. A little surprised he isn't crazy about American food; I've heard Brits say how much better the food is in America, but I guess it just depends on what part of Europe you're in.

Love Scotty's rant about transfer message cards. I might need to add to CF Notable Quotes list for Q2.

“My heart will always be here” … no, it won’t! Your butt’s gonna be on a bus or a plane and your heart’s gonna be somewhere else.”

Jaz is a glue guy. You could see it during the tournament. Goes in there with passion and gives it everything he's got, which definitely amps up the whole team.

In fairness, a LOT of American food is garbage. Too much salt and sugar. Especially the kinds of meals a college kid would be getting (outside of training table anyway). I doubt he is cooking up Julia Child stuff in his apartment.

Also, Slovenia is also NOT the UK in terms of food. I would imagine it's a mix of Slavic (think Czech/Polish for us Iowans) and some Italian influence.

Thanks for posting this interview guys! It was a great listen

I don't think it's fair to consider the UK as "Europe." I mean, it is geographically, but not culturally.

Really, saying that the UK isn't part of Europe is probably the only thing Europeans and Brits would agree on.

Gem quote from Jaz:

"My teammates aren’t hard to guard. Just ask Isaiah, I’d lock his a** up right now!"

Jaz seems like an "interviewer's dream." You can ask one question, he runs with it and expounds for a couple of minutes.

Exactly what makes an interviewer look at the clock and think, has it really been that long? I have to wrap this up...

 

[cyclones500]

Fun pod, worth a listen. Kunc sounds like he could be a coach some day.

Or maybe Big 12 commissioner -- he pumped up the league several times throughout.

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

If he wasn’t already my favorite player this assures it. Great personality. I’m always impressed by quick witted non native English speakers.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Would be a great broadcaster if he wants to go down that road.

Scotty better be looking over his shoulder.

Hickory Park?!? What a tool.
