33
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:27,680

34
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 4: Any of you remember the phone number the text machine

35
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,800

00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 5: O two seven? Yes? Oh, do you have to take

37
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 5: it from there? I just know that you've really emphasized

38
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 5: that seven.

39
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 4: Five O two because five plus two equals seven.

40
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 5: Huh?

41
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,600

00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 5: go five O two seven, thirty five, thirty six eighty.

44
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, thirty five and thirty six does an equal eighty.

45
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: No, but it kind of rolls off.

46
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 5: The tong s lipt that brain do Glas. I'm just

47
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 5: glad to see it. I'll be honest, I wasn't gonna

48
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 5: call you out. But you you had left it at

49
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 5: home so many times I thought you might have lost

50
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 5: it and didn't want to confess that you had misplaced

51
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 5: it was in.

52
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 4: The drawer but not charged. Okay, so I even't got

53
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 4: it out, charged it and realized that people have been

54
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: sending a lot of text.

55
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 5: Messages this week.

56
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: Let's use it today, Avisian Glass Textee. So listen, we'll

57
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: we'll use it, maybe even like between every other phone call,

58
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 4: maybe we'll throw in a text message from the Avias

59
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: and Glass text machine.

60
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

61
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 4: And we got to start with, I think, guys, the

62
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 4: fact that we were supposed to be on site today

63
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 4: and mother nature threw us a curveball. You know, during

64
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 4: the summer we have to do these pop up shows.

65
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 4: We just show up unannounced, usually someplace we've never been, somehere,

66
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 4: kind of fun. So since Matt's not here, we thought, well,

67
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 4: maybe we should go down the road and do it

68
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: in Midway, Downtown Midway or if you've ever been there.

69
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 4: It's this beautiful, quaint little Kentucky town. There's a train

70
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 4: track that goes right down the middle of main street,

71
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: and there's shops on each side of it. These boutiques, restaurants, bars.

72
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 4: It's just a cool area. We thought perfect place to

73
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 4: do our pop up show this morning. We'd be in

74
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 4: downtown Midway.

75
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, today was your programming day, and you told me

76
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 5: early in the week you gave me like three options.

77
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 5: You're like, these are my ideas. You think about these,

78
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 5: and I was like, you know what, I've always wanted

79
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 5: to go down to mid Well, I've never really hung

80
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 5: out there, driven through it, and I thought that'd be

81
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 5: a great idea. Probably get good weather, we could have

82
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 5: some fun. But then today he stepped outside and glad

83
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 5: we called it an audible not the best day to

84
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 5: be on the sidewalk.

85
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: We were gonna be on the sidewalk. It's really literally

86
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 4: twenty feet from the train tracks.

87
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, that didn't help when you told me we were

88
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 5: near the train tracks. Also had a little worry about

89
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 5: that as well.

90
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 4: Yoga Girl and I went over Wednesday night and scouted

91
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: us out a location, had a perfect little location. Sterling

92
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: Gypsy was gonna let us use their outlet outside their store.

93
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 4: The mayor of Midway was gonna come on, Oh my goodness, Grayson,

94
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 4: don't call me Brock. Vandergriff is the mayor of Midway,

95
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: they're filming a Christmas movie, Shannon, a Hallmark Christmas movie

96
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: in downtown Midway right now as we speak, in the rain. Yes,

97
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: I'm sure they are in the rain. And we were

98
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: gonna try to twist the mayor's arm to get Shannon

99
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: a speaking role.

100
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: Man, Well, it's not too late. I mean you can

101
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: still call up, would you say, Vandergriff, Mayor vander.

102
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: Griff Grayson, don't call me Brock vander Griff.

103
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can still call up Mayor vander Griff and

104
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: make that happen if.

105
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 5: You wanted to.

106
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: It's a Hallmark Christmas movie. They're shooting it right now,

107
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: and Shannon could had a speaking role.

108
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. See, I looked at the forecast, which

109
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 5: I don't think you did well.

110
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 4: When I looked at it looked like the rain was

111
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: going to clear out.

112
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: You know why you got one of those Droid weather apps?

113
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 6: Is what?

114
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 5: You know what it is?

115
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 6: Yeah?

116
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Apple weather app is more accurate.

117
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 5: I was excited. I went downtown yesterday and I met

118
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 5: Billy and I got a table. From my heart. I

119
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 5: was gonna get this a little table. It's still in

120
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 5: my car.

121
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Whin got three chairs I've got chairs in my car.

122
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 5: I was looking for a tent when I saw the rain,

123
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 5: but when the rain just kept coming, I got halfway

124
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 5: to Midway and called him. Was like, I don't know

125
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 5: if this is the best idea, because you know it's

126
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 5: our last day before Matt gets back. I had this

127
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 5: vision of lightning and then a train coming by as

128
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 5: we're trying to do the radio show. So this is

129
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 5: this is the safe bet. But it was a great idea.

130
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 5: I wish we could have pulled it off.

131
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 4: Maybe the next time Matt takes one of his fourteen vacations,

132
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 4: will sneak down to mid Midway and we will.

133
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 5: We will get our redemption tour around Midway.

134
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: So big thank to the shout out of the City

135
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 4: of Midway. He really went out to help us when

136
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: we start setting this up. We just couldn't pull it

137
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: off with the weather today, all right. Eight five nine

138
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 4: two eight two to eighty seven. That's the clarks Pumpish

139
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 4: out phone number. Ks are the website and if you've.

140
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 5: Heard of it, I've heard of it for about seventeen years.

141
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 5: I've heard about it every day.

142
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 4: They have been posting some updates on some of our guys,

143
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 4: our basketball guys transfer portal. Should I stay? Should I go? Uh,

144
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 4: let's just kind of go through the There's been three posts, okay,

145
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: and they did it on the Cameron will William Williams,

146
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 4: Colin Chandler, and Jasper Johnson. So let's start with let's

147
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: start with Colin. What what does what are you guys

148
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: hearing about Colin? And what does the article say?

149
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 5: At least on what I'm hearing the articles? Uh, well,

150
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 5: it's pretty similar. And then we got the KOs board too,

151
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 5: where the real scoop goes Dow's. That's where we can

152
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 5: throw some scottar button around. But I think Colin really

153
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 5: trusts smart Pope. He knows this is where he needs

154
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 5: to be. But there is the temptation and of going

155
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 5: back home. You know, he had the two year mission

156
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 5: where he was away. Then he comes straight to Lexington

157
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 5: and you know he's married and his wife's from there,

158
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 5: So I think there is a pool of getting back home.

159
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: But at the same time, he knows for basketball standpoint,

160
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 5: he's better off here and it is a big centerpiece

161
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 5: of what Pope is building for next year. I think

162
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 5: the nil PA would be a little bit better, you know,

163
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 5: everybody thinks of BYU. But he also grew up a

164
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 5: Utah fan out there as well. But it doesn't seem

165
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 5: like either one of those would really be able to

166
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 5: match what Kentucky can do because Pope is prioritizing him

167
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 5: to return. But you know that is sounds like that

168
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 5: is in his brain a little bit, and you could

169
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 5: think why that's where he's from, wife from there, He's

170
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 5: already been gone for so long. There's there, you know,

171
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 5: the religious aspect of all that. But I think Colin

172
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 5: knows what would be best for basketball and it's just

173
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 5: a matter of getting that done before the portal opens

174
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 5: soon because if if it lingers too long, that temptation

175
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 5: could grow to leave Lexington. But I think right now

176
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 5: he trusts Mark Pope and what's next with him at Kentucky.

177
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: I kind of agree with you. I mean, you know

178
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: these twenty one, twenty two years old, you've been way

179
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 4: from home for four years. You got a chance to

180
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: play ball in your home state, where on your family's there,

181
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: where your wife's from there. I can see where at

182
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 4: least you might entertain that thought of possibly going back home.

183
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, now a Pope and company need to get it

184
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 5: done and get it official here, because you don't want

185
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: to leave the door open where one of those schools

186
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: could come up with money and really really tempt him.

187
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 5: But I think if if he were to for placing

188
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 5: a bet right now, is Colin Chandler coming back? I

189
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 5: would certainly be saying it as long, But I that's

190
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 5: not anything official. I just think he knows Kentucky's is

191
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 5: the right place.

192
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 4: I think he's coming back. Channel.

193
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: What do you think, Collin?

194
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: Sorry, I was answering a phone. Colin Chandler, Yes, yeah,

195
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: I think he probably will come back. He's a guy

196
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: that you know you can't I don't want to say

197
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: build your team around, but it definitely a guy that

198
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: gives you that continuity and a very good three point shooter.

199
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: So I'd love to see him come back.

200
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: And they're gonna take care of him. I mean, there's

201
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 5: a lot of math to math with the budget. I

202
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 5: don't have any idea what Pope's got in the cash

203
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 5: register right now, but I know that Chandler is high

204
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 5: on his list to get that done.

205
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 4: I think you want to keep him to help you

206
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: put together that roster kind of the center piece of

207
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 4: the rock like Otaga was last year. They went out

208
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: make sure they kept him. What they need to do

209
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: to keep him they had to do with with Colin

210
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 4: And I.

211
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 5: Think he can make a big Remember I was on

212
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 5: the fan club early whene you were sure, and yes,

213
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: I think he ended up having a huge jump. And

214
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 5: if he can make another jump next year, I mean

215
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 5: the way he shot from three, if he can just

216
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 5: create his shot a little better and drive and you know,

217
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: improve just in a little bit. But the shooting aspect

218
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 5: is incredible. And then his defense isn't great. But how

219
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 5: many times did we see like those elite plays like

220
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 5: the block? He had so many steals in critical moments.

221
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 5: He was almost like a young Reed Shepherd a little

222
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 5: bit where sometimes maybe he couldn't stay in front of

223
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 5: his man, but just timing and some of his health defense,

224
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 5: he could get in and create a lot of turnovers.

225
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 4: And totally off topic, did you see what Reid had

226
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 4: nine three pointers this night? Nine three points? I think

227
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 4: he was nine of fourteen crazy from NBA three point range.

228
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: Still couldn't start for Kentucky, Still didn't start for Kentucky.

229
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: My brain, I know Read's been good for years now,

230
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 5: my brain still can't believe this is happening after we

231
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 5: were there at that his regional tournament. Teeth. If you

232
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 5: had told me when we were sitting there he will

233
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 5: be hitting nine threes in a game whilst playing with

234
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant for the Rockets, I would have thought that's

235
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 5: that's the craziest thing ever. But he's still living it.

236
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 5: I know a lot of people are used to it now.

237
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 5: I still when I see him out there on the court,

238
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 5: I'm like, I can't believe he's he's doing this.

239
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: So they're gonna be in the playoffs. I got a

240
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 4: chance to kind of watch him a little bit more

241
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 4: than playing.

242
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 5: They love him in Houston.

243
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 4: All Right's move on to Cam Williams. What are you

244
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 4: hearing about Cam Williams.

245
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 5: He keeps saying all the right things. He wants to return, uh,

246
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 5: and I know fans really want him as a piece

247
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 5: with him. He's unique though, because, like you know, Stokes

248
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 5: could have a big play in what he could do.

249
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 5: They kind of play a similar position, not the same type,

250
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 5: but Stokes will command a lot of minutes on the

251
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 5: wing if he if he ends up here, which who

252
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 5: knows about that? But also I guess he's kind of

253
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 5: just got to look around and see what Pope's doing

254
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 5: in front of him. I don't know that Pope would

255
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 5: recruit over him. Pope really likes him too, but that's

256
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 5: a spot where we all say, Kentucky's go out and

257
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 5: get a star. So I think Cam Williams likes it here.

258
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 5: But if they were out to go out and land

259
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 5: a big fish, you know, he might consider other options.

260
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 5: But I know he really really likes Kentucky saying all

261
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 5: the right things and interviews. He said it a couple

262
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 5: of times now, and.

263
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: He kind of got cheated this year when he got hurt,

264
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: you know, missed so much time. They thankfully came back

265
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: a little bit helped him when you didn't give a

266
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 4: lot of minutes at least he kind of helped them

267
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 4: kind of spread the defense a little bit having him

268
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: out there in the tournament.

269
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 5: And he really started getting going right where that injury happened.

270
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, in minutes.

271
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 5: You know, earlier in the year wasn't getting a lot

272
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 5: of playing time. I think of all the new guys,

273
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 5: it took him a little longer to adjust to this level,

274
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 5: but he was just starting to turn it on right

275
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 5: when he had the foot injury, so you could see

276
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: where he'd want to run it back and have a redo.

277
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: So, well, what do you think staying are going?

278
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 5: I'll say stay on him. So that's one. If they

279
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 5: go out and get a couple just huge names, he

280
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 5: would have to, you know, look for somewhere he'd get

281
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 5: more playing time because I think a lot of teams

282
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 5: would won him.

283
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: I think he's staying. Shannon, what do you thinks?

284
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 5: Yeah?

285
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: I think he is too.

286
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, as Drew said there, he has a

287
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,599
Speaker 2: desire to come back. He just wants to know what

288
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: his role is going to be with this team next season.

289
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: Another good three point shooter, a guy that could be

290
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: a good six man coming off the bench.

291
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: And the other article you guys wrote on on three

292
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: KSR website. Great website, check it out. Yeah, Kentucky Sports

293
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: Radio dot com is Jasper John what's your scoop? I

294
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 4: don't really have.

295
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 5: I genuinely don't know much about what JA. I mean

296
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 5: the word is he would like to prove that he

297
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 5: could do it at Kentucky. But at the same time,

298
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 5: I don't know how that conversation with Pope goes because

299
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 5: the same with you know, going out and getting a

300
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 5: star on the wing, they have to go out and

301
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 5: get a good point guard. And as much as we

302
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 5: all love Jasper to have an amazing sophomore year, you

303
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 5: can't give him too much of a role without knowing

304
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 5: how that will look. But you know, there's buzz that

305
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 5: he would like to have a second chance, just because

306
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 5: he doesn't want to, you know, have one year here

307
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 5: and it not go or go the way it went.

308
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 5: I think he would like to prove people wrong. But

309
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 5: they have to go load up in the back court,

310
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 5: and I don't know where he would fit in that

311
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: with with what he would want, all these guys that

312
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 5: are gonna have to take some serious pay cuts from

313
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 5: what they got a year ago, any of these guys returning,

314
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 5: So I genuinely don't know what he would do. I

315
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 5: would I would still guess transfer. But it's not like

316
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 5: Jasper's running trying to get out of here. He likes

317
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 5: the idea of a redo and trying to prove himself.

318
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 4: And if he's looking at you know, Pope has been

319
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 4: talking to Deank Pate several times, talking to the other

320
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 4: of the European I guess point guard. They've been trying

321
00:11:59,559 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 4: to talk to.

322
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 5: You already got Mason Williams, who knows what he'll be,

323
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: but you know it's already one guard in there.

324
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 4: So they're he Jasper knows they're going they're going out

325
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: and looking for an elite point guard. He may be

326
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 4: the type of kid to look I can compete. I'm

327
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 4: as good as that guy. Give me another redo, and

328
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 4: I'm here ready to play.

329
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 5: And I think he believes he can be a point guard.

330
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 5: He was a little unfair this year. You know, he's

331
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 5: supposed to be a shooting guard freshman. Uh No, one

332
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 5: expected Jaylen Low to not play most of the year,

333
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 5: so it's unique circumstances. But uh, like I said, but

334
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 5: Pope's got to go out and get a start point.

335
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 5: This is such a big make or break year for Pope.

336
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 5: He can't mess around. He's got to really do well

337
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 5: in the portal with some some some guys that we

338
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 5: know are already proven.

339
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: And I think, you know, he's made a point that

340
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 4: that's who they're going after first. Yeah, and then they'll

341
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: go after maybe a post player and try to get

342
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 4: some other guys, but they're going after a point guard.

343
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: I think he's playing a.

344
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 5: And Jasper was really close to North Carolina. Remember he

345
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 5: grew up a North Carolina fan. Yeah, you know, they

346
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 5: don't have a coach right now, coach, So if Hubert

347
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 5: Davis were running it back, I would probably even guess

348
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 5: North Carolina. But there's so much uncertainty on that in

349
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 5: a new coach might not even give him a call.

350
00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 5: Who knows.

351
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 4: Well, Stay tune because the portal opens officially on.

352
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 5: Tuesday, Tuesday, four days from now, four days and really

00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 4: May be even some news happening today here Friday, probably

365
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 5: But he hadn't done much tweeting tweeting. Uh so he's

412
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 5: Oh you want them to win. I just think it'll

413
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 5: be funny. I mean, they go from the Final Four

414
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 5: winning the SEC Bruce hands it off. It's not a

415
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 5: good year, and then they're gonna have to awkwardly hang

416
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 5: a banner because he won the n I T.

417
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 4: You got to you gotta hang a banner if you win,

418
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 4: don't you.

419
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 5: So I'm all in on Steven Pearl getting a marine.

420
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: Got a championship in his first year is because it

421
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: was pretty impressive.

422
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 5: He's already a step farther than his dad last year.

423
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, that'll keep him around for a little bit longer.

424
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, Ryan, I don't want to be rude, but

425
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 7: are you old enough to remember when the n I

426
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 7: T mattered?

427
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 4: I don't. I do remember though, the year the Kentucky

428
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: After the year for they won the title in seventy eight,

429
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 4: they played in the n I T in seventy nine

430
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 4: and we are thinking, well, that's not cool. It seemed

431
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 4: like then it was a step down. So before my

432
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: time when the n I was really a big deal.

433
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I guess there was a time where that

434
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 7: was a big deal.

435
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 5: It was fun in Lexington, did you all go no?

436
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 5: I mean it sucked that we were in then T,

437
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 5: but it was a fun atmosphere of memorial that game.

438
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: That's when Perry Stevens said.

439
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: That's it. That's everybody's last team memories to Perry Stevenson

440
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 4: dunk against UNLV. I think it was wasn't it?

441
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean we were we were definitely coping with

442
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 5: not being in the big tournament. But I will say

443
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 5: it made for a fun atmosphere for two hours since

444
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 5: we pretended to care about being in the n it

445
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 5: all right?

446
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 4: Well, I found the Avis and Last text machine.

447
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: Where in my drawer? Where the drawer it's been drawer? Yeah, yeah,

448
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: we knew where it was. That wasn't the problem. The

449
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: problem was getting Ryan to actually go into the drawer

450
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: and bring it with him to.

451
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: Work, charge it and then bring it in. That was

452
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: That was a trick.

453
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 7: I'm very proud of you.

454
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: Five o two seven thirty five thirty six eighty. Here's

455
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 4: the first question we're going to ask you are Mark Pope.

456
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 4: It's a make or break year for you. You have

457
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 4: fifteen to sixteen million stokes will cost you probably four million.

458
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 4: Are you doing it?

459
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 5: Yes? Without hesitation.

460
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: I think you have to.

461
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 5: He needs a win, He needs a win, beout, He

462
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 5: needs to show uh Kentucky fans. He just needs to

463
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 5: show everybody of the recruits that he can go out

464
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 5: and get a big recruit, because I don't like to

465
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 5: use the word with it's used a lot on the internet,

466
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 5: but there has been a lot of whiffing lately and

467
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 5: he needs to go out and get a big play.

468
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 5: And Stokes is awesome. I mean, he wasn't the star

469
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 5: of the McDonald's game earlier this week, but if you

470
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 5: watch the fourth quarter, you saw the potential and why's

471
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 5: ranked number one, not just a.

472
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 7: Big recruit, the recruit number one in the class. So

473
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 7: I think that would go a long way for perception purposes,

474
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 7: for the reason why you brought maybe like Mo Williams

475
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 7: in to get land players like this, because he understands

476
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 7: that money is the driving factor, not the name on

477
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 7: the front of the jersey. So I think this would

478
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 7: be a huge win for Kentucky and Pope if they

479
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 7: were to get him.

480
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 5: And he's projected the number one draft pick, you know,

481
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 5: the summer after the summer, I mean, if that were

482
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 5: to pan out and it was the Kentucky logo that

483
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 5: we're seeing at the draft, I know we left that

484
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 5: behind with cal but it'd be nice to have a

485
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 5: number one pick again, especially for Pope where he can

486
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 5: turn around and use that on the recruiting trail and say, look,

487
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 5: I can't help guys get to the NBA.

488
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 4: You're both right, you're both dead on the perception that

489
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 4: you can get the big number one guy and what

490
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: the number one I can do for your program, what

491
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 4: it represents exactly, and he's.

492
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 5: Just a guy that can take over and you know,

493
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 5: oh way, it was pretty good at that, but they

494
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 5: need more more guys who can just go out and

495
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 5: get a bucket when you need it.

496
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 7: And if you get Stokes and you don't get it done,

497
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 7: then there's some finality in that, right, Like there's like

498
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 7: maybe it's not gonna work if you can still get

499
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 7: a recruit.

500
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 4: But not win. Other from the Avision Glass text machine

501
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: which I found and brought today, do you guys have

502
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 4: any updates on the coaching staff? There was that picture

503
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 4: Pope posted with a recruit, Yeah, included as an assistant coach.

504
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 4: We haven't talked about, he said, coach somebody.

505
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: No, He and McLean and Figure went out visited a

506
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 5: twenty twenty seven recruits. So if you're reading tea leaves,

507
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 5: that would suggest Figure and McLain aren't going anywhere things

508
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 5: are still. I don't know the Mark Fox situation, but

509
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 5: that's one I'm watching. I know all those guys sound

510
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 5: like two years deals when they got here. It's kind

511
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 5: of they just didn't renew Heart and Brooks, and I

512
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 5: wonder if there are any more left does he Pope

513
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 5: kind of has a lot of staff turn over there.

514
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 7: I was a little surprised he Brooks leave. It just

515
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 7: seems like a really positive guy. I wasn't there behind

516
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 7: the scenes to see what was happening, but somebody that

517
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 7: seemed like was making a positive impact on the program.

518
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 7: But I mean, if you can just bring in a player,

519
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 7: why not just hire their dad as a coach?

520
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 4: Ryan Well, especially if that dad has a connection to

521
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: Jamal Crawford, who has a connection to Tyron Stokes. I think,

522
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: you know, like we can read the TV's why not

523
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 4: be in that little pipeline.

524
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not just through Crawford. I mean Williams knows

525
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 5: them too. Williams offered Dink Pate three almost four years

526
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 5: ago in same for Stokes for Jackson State, so he's

527
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 5: been personally recruiting them. Not that those guys would ever

528
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 5: go to Jackson State, but uh, mo Williams was making

529
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 5: those efforts years ago, so he has the connection to

530
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 5: just the with the self thing coming back. I'm losing

531
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 5: optimism on Stokes. We need Nike to to pull all

532
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 5: the strings to push them to Kentucky. But it's I

533
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 5: don't like the buzz point in.

534
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 4: That direction obviously. I think that's why Stokes was delaying

535
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 4: it to see what self was gonna do. But it

536
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 4: self pulls a Bruce Pearl and steps down up before

537
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 4: the season starts. What's that do for you?

538
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 7: But like, why do it after the Nike Hoops summit? Like,

539
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 7: if you're a Nike athlete, you're waiting after a Nike

540
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 7: event to sign with an Adida school.

541
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 4: That's just as we've talked about the last another good yeah,

542
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 4: another good theory, all right from the Avis text machine.

543
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 4: Pope has to do one of these three things to

544
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 4: keep his job at the end of next season. Either

545
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 4: win the SEC regular season which secures a one or

546
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 4: two seed, win the SEC tournament, or get to the

547
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 4: final four, which do you think happens?

548
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 5: Well, that's close to my my guidelines for every year.

549
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 5: I always say, you're together, win the regular season, win

550
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 5: the SEC tournament. But then I say Elite eight to

551
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 5: consider it a successful year. I feel like putting all

552
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 5: the pressure saying you were unsuccessful if you came up

553
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 5: short of the final four. I think it's a little strict,

554
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 5: but I always say Elite eight SEC tournament or SEC

555
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 5: regular season. But as far as keeping his job, I

556
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 5: think that's that's a big I mean, if he finished,

557
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 5: you know, second to the SEC and made it to

558
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 5: Sunday in the SEC Tournament and then made the Elite

559
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 5: I don't you know, he's not getting fired there. I

560
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 5: think that would be a big turnaround. So in that

561
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 5: scenario from the text machine, I think that's a little

562
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 5: too much to ask. But that's what Kentuck it needs

563
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 5: to be doing regularly.

564
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 7: Most likely probably weekend of the SEC tournament. Right, Like,

565
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 7: that draw could could lay out for you and Kentucky

566
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 7: could get hot and win a couple of games, but

567
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 7: really just matters what you do in the postseason, right,

568
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 7: I mean, Kentucky and Oscar Sebwey get a two seed

569
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 7: and all you remember is their first round exit. So

570
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 7: I mean it's it is a make or break year.

571
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 7: But if they have a ton of success in the

572
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 7: regular season and it doesn't translate to the NCAA tournament.

573
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 7: It's gonna be all for enough.

574
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 4: But if you had to pick one of the three

575
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 4: the most likely, what would you pick? Oh boy, I'll

576
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 4: probably I'll probably eliminate Final four And we haven't been

577
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: to Final four since twenty to fifteen.

578
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 5: And we don't have a team, so it's hard to

579
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 5: I don't think they would win the SEA unless you

580
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 5: go out and just completely nail it. I think winning

581
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 5: the SEC is tough, like Final four is tough.

582
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: So maybe winning the SEC tournament, we'll.

583
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 5: Start on Friday and win three games for that crowd

584
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 5: essays the most likely. But right now, with one player

585
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 5: on the roster, I don't think any of those would

586
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 5: be happening.

587
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that would be that'd be good for the

588
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 7: fan base too, right, everybody that goes to Nashville for

589
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 7: those games. To win the SEC tournament would go a

590
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 7: long way.

591
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 4: Get a get a draw like col got this year.

592
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 5: Just well yeah he had the double by get the

593
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 5: double by figured out but played on Wednesday, and I'm

594
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 5: still upset about that. That was just embarrassing. And then

595
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 5: the flex that we won two tournament games, well, we

596
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 5: won two tournament games because we played on Wednesday and Thursday.

597
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 5: Start on Friday and maybe you can win three games.

598
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 5: Figure it out.

599
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: Speaking of cowg you see he was up in may

600
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,280

670
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,760

671
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 4: four years old, unexpectedly.

672
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 7: Died when like this week.

673
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: I thought that happened last year.

674
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, somebody check on Matt Rife because I thought he

675
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 7: had bought the doll and was moving it around.

676
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 4: Well, I saw it on the online. I was I

677
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 4: assumed it was this week.

678
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 5: I think it was right before annabel came here. That

679
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 5: was part of the big story. The guy died, Yeah,

680
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 5: very unexpectedly. He was the one transporting annabel.

690
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 5: People were even sending it to me. Yeah, I saw

691

692
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 5: just happ so I got to defend you. You weren't

693
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 5: the only one that uh well not even fell for it.

694
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 5: It's just it was recirculating. But it did happen last year.

695
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 7: Are you worried about this curse next year? She like,

696
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 7: do we need to burn some sage or light a candle?

697
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,119

00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 4: Who missed it this year?

704
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,880

Speaker 5: my cousin was getting married and she got.

716
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 6: Married unexpected well, I guess expectedly.

717
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 5: So one of the Hamies is and I was just saying,

718
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,480

Speaker 5: it was just.

727
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 6: Such a coincidence that she got married to one of

728
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 6: the Hanies.

729
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:14,960

733
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 4: a big name around here. So just get to the

734
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 4: phone call, Shannon, who we got. Let's go to Jeff, Jeff,

735
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 4: go ahead, Jeff, are you there? Jeff?

736
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 3: I think can you take us off blue too?

737
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 5: I can't. I'm going to to trailer.

738
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: I'm okay, all right, call it back.

739
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 5: Sorry to bug you.

740
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 7: He's a working man.

741
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 4: Keep both hands on the wheel if you're driving a

742
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 4: big tractor, trailer truck. Uh, there was some news. I

743
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 4: guess I kind of skipped over, should have talk about

744
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 4: the UK women had somebody drop in the transfer portal,

745
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 4: Lexi Blue. She was leaving the team. I guess she's

746
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 4: been there for a couple of years. I remember she

747
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 4: was supposed to be a maybe play a bigger player,

748
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 4: bigger role. This year just didn't work out for it.

749
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 8: This year.

750
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 5: It seems like, yes, she was, if not top ten,

751
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 5: close to it as a recruit, but I got here

752
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 5: and just didn't get the minute she probably wanted. So

753
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 5: she's on the move. But you know, Kenny Brooks still

754
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 5: loading up with that recruiting class he has bringing in.

755
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 5: That's probably partially why Alexi's on the move. And then

756
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 5: Clara Shrack returning. I think they're gonna be awesome again

757
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 5: next year, maybe taking another step forward.

758
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 7: I mean, I fully expect Kenny Brooks to keep this

759
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 7: train rolling, make a final four with Kentucky. Soon disappointed

760
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 7: he didn't work out with Lexi Blue as somebody whose

761
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 7: name is perfect to come to the University of Kentucky, right,

762
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 7: so hopefully she cash in on some nil deal before

763
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 7: she left.

764
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 5: Was a great name though, Lexi Blue had he come

765
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 5: to Kentucky. Now she's getting replaced by Savvy Swords though,

766
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 5: so we're still on the all hands.

767
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 4: That's one of the recruits. Yeah, Savvy. What a great

768
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 4: name that is.

769
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's a great recruiting class. We talked about

770
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 5: it earlier this week for the McDonald's game. But you

771
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 5: got two top ten players and then the others like

772
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 5: maybe top thirty. I believe Kenny's loading up and got

773
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 5: some big returners coming back.

774
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 7: You got a name picked out next week.

775
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 5: For my child. Yeah. Uh, well, if she's born on

776
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 5: her due date on Master's Sunday, I'm just hope. I'm Tiger.

777
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to go with whoever wins the Masters.

778
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 4: So Rory Ry Franklin.

779
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 5: Seawou Franklin, Kadeki Franklin, leg Big Franklin. Abby hasn't agreed

780
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 5: to this, but I'm still hoping that in the back

781
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 5: of my mind, if she is truly born on her

782

827
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,520

Speaker 4: I'm proud to eight five nine two O two two

831
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 4: eight seven. That's the Clark's publish op phone number. There

832
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 4: is one other transfer portal name I want to throw

833
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 4: out there. Brent Brett Decker, who is from Liberty. May

834
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 4: not ring a bell, but he's from Elizabethtown. Played at

835
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 4: Central hard And High School, and he was one of

836
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 4: the top three point shooters in the country this year

837
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 4: at Liberty.

838
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 5: I brought his name up on this show the second

839
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 5: game of the year in college basketball. Is a name

840
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 5: to watch because he Yeah, he was like seven for

841
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 5: seven or something in his first game and followed up

842
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 5: with another big game. I kept an eye on him

843
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 5: all year. Recently, I heard scuttle butt, okay that they're

844
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 5: they're a Louisville family. So I don't know. I don't

845
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 5: know what I'm not saying, not that he's going there,

846
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 5: that Kentucky's called. I don't know where we are in

847
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 5: our journey with reaching out to him, but people in

848
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 5: the Etown area have said that they're they're their card family.

849
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 5: So that might be something to watch.

850
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 7: The more shooters, the better right space kid. That seems

851
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 7: to be Mark Pope style of play, and he got

852
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 7: away from that a little bit last year, and and

853
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 7: you know, to see the Yukon guy hit that shot

854
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 7: and then here that he was steps away from being

855
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 7: at Kentucky. Yeah, I mean that's the you know, you

856
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 7: need to bring those guys.

857
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 5: In shot taking seven a game. Mine, that's pretty good,

858
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 5: average seventeen for Liberty. That's the good point of the

859
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 5: transfer portal. A kid like this over excels at Liberty,

860
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 5: probably a little better than playing at the Liberty level.

861
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 5: Now he's got a chance to go prove himself somewhere else,

862
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 5: at a power for school somewhere. So that's what's the

863
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 5: good part about the transfer a.

864
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 7: Portal little unless you're Liberty.

865
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 4: Unless you're Liberty.

866
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 5: That's true right.

867
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 7: Western Kentucky, where you know your best player has a

868
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 7: good year, and then you know, I was reading a

869
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 7: story about the queen's coach. They were having their conference tournament, right,

870
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 7: and you had an SEC assistant in SEC logo and

871
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 7: gear court side for the conference tournament to wait until

872
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 7: they lose so he can talk to the players.

873
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 5: It's become like the peach Jam where you wear your

874
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 5: your gear, but instead of at a high school game,

875
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 5: you're at another college game just staring at their players

876
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 5: like they're not hiding it anymore.

877
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 7: Oh, that's disrespectful, though, is it not? Like it's unethical

878
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 7: a little bit to do that in front of the

879
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 7: coach and the team.

880
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 5: Listen, I've got some news for you all. When people

881
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 5: go play at other schools, they're recruiting them when, like

882
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna say, Kentucky an example, Kentucky plays at

883
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 5: wherever Texas name it. If Texas there's a player on

884
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 5: Kentucky's team, they want, they're recruiting. They're checking on mom

885
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 5: and dad in the front row or in the hotel lobby,

886
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 5: and that's everywhere. I'm not I use Kentucky, but that

887
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 5: is happening. It is out of control. We can pretend

888
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 5: the portal starts on Tuesday. The portal's open NonStop.

889
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 4: They've been talking the whole season. I'll be talking before

890
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 4: the season.

891
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 5: Oh everybody tampers. Everybody. If you're not tampering, you're behind.

892
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 4: And that's just the real truth truth that you have

893
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 4: to Yeah.

894
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 5: I mean they might not be sitting down a meeting

895
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 5: and making offers, but there is a hey, how are

896
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 5: you all doing? Glad you're coming by? Are you taking

897
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 5: care of? How's your stay? Do you like the arena?

898
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 5: How's your son doing that? That's going on everywhere.

899
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 7: It's just more egregious now, I guess right, like you

900
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 7: just wear your school colors, and you talk to the coach, Hey,

901
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 7: I'm gonna recruit your kid after this.

902
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 5: Well, you see in football, when they on the we

903
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 5: can see it on the field. The coaches will run

904
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 5: over to the other team's star player and there would

905
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 5: be a little extra lingering hug or a few extra

906
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 5: comments they're doing playing sight.

907
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 4: I'll go to say that, I mean absolutely happens after

908
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 4: the football game, during the handshake line. There's a little

909
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 4: recruiting going on right then and there on the playing field,

910
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 4: as soon as the game's over.

911
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 5: So you're telling me, if mom and dad go to

912
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 5: watch their kid at name a small college town the

913
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 5: night before, they're at the local restaurant, the hotel lobb.

914
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 5: But you're telling me an assistant coach might not walk

915
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 5: by and be like, oh, welcome to town. How are

916
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:36,040

928
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,120

929
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,680

930
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 4: a it's a one way, one lane. Then you got

931
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 4: the train track and on the other side is the

932
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 4: one way going the other way. I mean, it literally

Speaker 4: Here's a little trivia. You know how they call it Midway.

937
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 7: Why is it middle between Louisville, Kentucky, Closington.

938
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 4: Between Lexton and Franklin. It's midway between Lexton and Frankfurt,

939
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 4: all right? Eight five nine two two two weeks seven.

940
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 4: I got a Clarks Puppy Shop phone line, A couple

941
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 4: of couple of lines open. I want to go to

942
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 4: the Avis and Glass tex machine. How much more money

943
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 4: is the average college team paying for the roster now

944
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 4: versus pre n I l when it was wink wink.

945
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 5: You say, are you saying people paid before n I.

946
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 4: L well, it didn't happen allegedly, supposedly.

947
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: Money in McDonald's bags being passed around, a ton more.

948
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 5: Money spent now, little cash in the football program.

949
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean money was spent back then, but I

950
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 4: think there's a millions and millions more spent now because

951
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 4: you can get it from the booster legally, and they're

952
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 4: taking advantage of that.

953
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 5: What's weird is I'm seeing players are commanding even more

954
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 5: this offseason. Their prices just keep going up. But then

955
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 5: I'm also hearing that like schools don't have as much

956
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 5: or boosters are hesitant because it didn't go as well.

957
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 5: So it's weird that players are asking for more. But

958
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 5: in a lot of places they're like, we just can't

959
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 5: keep doing what we've been doing. But they might have to. Yeah,

960
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 5: they you got to. You gotta win.

961
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 7: Let's say you donated a bunch of money and Zach

962
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 7: calls out as throwing it around, right, like do you

963
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 7: want to do that again? And you get any return

964
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 7: on investment unless your team wins a conference championship, you know,

965
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 7: things like that. So like there's a there's a pool

966
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 7: of dedicated money now that can be given to athletes

967
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 7: with revenue sharing, so it's obviously going to be more

968
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 7: than what it was, but definitely how much it is

969
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 7: depends on each school.

970
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 4: Right eight nine two, it'll two to eight seven, Shan,

971
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 4: who's this segment sponsored?

972
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: Before we go to the phone, Well, I was gonna

973

Speaker 2: ask you, is the sun out or is it still

974
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: raining there in Lexington?

975
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 5: Pouring just started pouring hard.

976
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 3: Maybe today is not a good day for your Shady Rays.

977
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,680

992
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. I've been listening

993
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 6: to this show since you all were on fourteen fifty

994
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 6: way back in the day, and I love what you

995
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 6: guys do, but so real quick, I was twelve, thirteen,

996
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 6: and fourteen years old when we've played in three straight

997
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 6: national championships, so I have the high standard. Those guys

998
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 6: were my heroes. Mark Pope was a hero of mine

999
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 6: growing up. And I just I'm really sad about the

1000
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 6: state of our program, the fact that the Kentucky Wildcats

1001
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 6: do not have a single high school player committed. I mean,

1002
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 6: Kentucky should be selecting who plays for this team. That's

1003
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 6: just that's the standard we select. We pick who plays here,

1004
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 6: and now we got money involved and we can pay them,

1005
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 6: and it's like, we're bet we can't get a top

1006
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 6: high school kid to come play here. It just feels

1007
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 6: like the end of the Tubby Smith there to me, man,

1008
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 6: and I love Tubby too, but like just my two cents, man,

1009
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 6: I really believe we had a good thing with our

1010
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 6: former coach and people can say he wasn't going to

1011
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 6: succeed here all they want. That's just convenient for that argument.

1012
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 6: The fact of the matter is cal we beat him

1013
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 6: this year, but you know what, they won the SEC

1014
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 6: tournament because he's got elite talent and I want elite talent.

1015
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 6: I'll take that every single time over what we got.

1016
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 5: Now.

1017
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 6: I hope this works out with Mark Pope, but I

1018
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 6: am dumbfounded at where our recruiting stands today. That's really good.

1019
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 6: Makes me sad a.

1020
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 4: Brother, appreciate you guys, appreciate it.

1021
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 5: Man.

1022
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 4: That's still the check mark that with the box has

1023
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 4: not been checked yet. Can you get in at top

1024
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 4: recruiting that's not from Kentucky at top recruit not from Kentucky,

1025
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 4: a top level guy. That box has not been checked yet.

1026
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 5: No, not at all. And that's why there needs to

1027
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 5: be some urgency with Pope and getting some wins here

1028
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 5: and showing fans he can do it because uh, you know,

1029
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 5: next year we can pretend it's not. That's some pretty

1030
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 5: big make or break here for Pope and he needs

1031
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 5: to go out and get some stars. And if I

1032
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 5: mean he got Jasper Malacho from Kentucky, but if you

1033
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 5: look at his past recruiting classes. When he was a BYU,

1034
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 5: he didn't really get anybody out side of Utah. He's

1035
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 5: always just kind of gotten local recruits, and he's got

1036
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 5: to go out and prove he can do it. Because

1037
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 5: I agree with the caller on Kentucky should be handpicking

1038
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 5: who they get. I disagree with the caller about Cow wholeheartedly,

1039
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 5: but I'm all in on him on how recruiting has

1040
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 5: been awful. Well, yeah, inexcusable.

1041
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 7: It was fifteen years of col getting the best guys, right,

1042
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 7: and then you see a cuff succeed for Arkansas and

1043
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 7: you're like, maybe he should have been at Kentucky. But

1044
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 7: it's a completely different landscape. The transfer portal brings in

1045
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 7: a whole different dimension. You're right, there should be a

1046
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 7: sense of urgency to get freshmen, but also that's just

1047
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 7: not how these teams are created anymore.

1048
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 5: I got to step in real quick on cal He

1049
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 5: had a cuff and lost by thirty and had a

1050
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 5: pretty easy path to the SEC. I mean they almost

1051
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 5: lost to like Winthrop, So I'm I'm not in on

1052
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 5: the Cow part of that argument. He still got a

1053
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 5: star and still didn't do anything with it. That was

1054
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 5: the problem here.

1055
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 4: Cow's been on all morning.

1056
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 5: That was like a generational guard he has and I'm

1057
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 5: SEC tournament congratulations. But that wasn't a great year for Arkansas.

1058
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 4: With knowing the cow replay of him getting in the

1059
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame and he was on first take just

1060
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 4: as morning, it's it's all Cow this morning, and every

1061
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 4: TV I turn around TV I turned two, it's I

1062
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 4: got Cow on.

1063
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 5: It right now.

1064
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 7: Do you see the news about Dino Nuggets? What's that

1065
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 7: they were getting recalled?

1066
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 3: They got leads?

1067
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, the Walmart get the let out.

1068
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 4: Well, I'll admit the donald Nuggets they sent us Tyson

1069
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 4: Food sent us. I ate every one of them.

1070
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 3: You're full of lead.

1071
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 4: Let's get another phone call before we take in your head.

1072
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 3: Now, let's go to Richard.

1073
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 4: Richard, go ahead, Richard.

1074
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I want to ask you, uh, is it required

1075
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 8: by the n c a A for college just to

1076
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 8: use the wood I mean the alum in the bat?

1077
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 8: If not, why can't college just use wood bat? The

1078
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 8: wood bat is good enough for the professionalists, should we

1079
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 8: also be good enough for college just and also the

1080
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 8: sound of the lumen bat hitting the ball sucks. When

1081
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 8: the bat hits the baseball. It's a much much more

1082
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 8: pleasant sound. What is your take on all all right?

1083
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 4: We appreciate, we'll get to that maybe out of the break.

1084
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 4: Umingham bat versus the old wood bat, issue college baseball,

1085
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 4: now that the aluminum bats are like titanium, not even

1086
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 4: allumin they're titanium. All right, We'll take a break. Come back,

1087
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,280
