Speaker 3: Ah, good morning. It's a great day. Wednesday, April sixteenth,
Speaker 3: day after Tax Day, Ryleyman Drew Franklin, Shannon the Dude
Speaker 3: on Kentucky's Sports Radio as always sponsored by the T J.
Speaker 3: Smith Low It's called TJ. And He'll make them pay.
Speaker 3: He'll make them pay. Our Clarks pumpish Op phone line
Speaker 3: will be open today eight five nine two eight oh
Speaker 3: two two eight seven. We've had some good calls all
Speaker 3: this week where we've awarded our whiskey thief call the
Speaker 3: day as well, and the Avision Glass text machine is
Speaker 3: still my cell phone. If you got that number, won't
Speaker 3: get to it as much as possible. But guys, it
Speaker 3: seems like kind of in routine. We start the show
Speaker 3: with news of somewhat of a disappointment in the recruiting
Speaker 3: world at this point yesterday Lamar Wickerson all signs pointed
Speaker 3: towards looked like he was leaning towards Kentucky everything, and
Speaker 3: then I guess the IU coach Devrees made a probably
Speaker 3: during this show yesterday, made a trip down to Seam,
Speaker 3: maybe up the ante a little bit, maybe have added
Speaker 3: somebody in Lamar Wilkerson's circle to his staff. And Lamar
Speaker 3: Wikerson announced just after noon he's going to Indiana instead
Speaker 3: of Kentucky. Drew, what was your take on everything that
Speaker 3: happened yesterday?
Speaker 4: Well, like most of the fans, I was disappointed, really
Speaker 4: really really thought he could fill that need of a shooter.
Speaker 4: You know, a lot of people are saying Pope whiffs
Speaker 4: and loses. I don't think he's a whiffed or lost
Speaker 4: that many, but this one is a loss, so there's
Speaker 4: no sugarcoating it. Indiana closed the deal when Kentucky couldn't
Speaker 4: thought they were in good shape. On Sunday, you know,
Speaker 4: he eliminated Auburn and eliminated Old Miss, leaving it just
Speaker 4: a UK and IU. And you know I thought that
Speaker 4: were me. I'm a Kentucky fan, but I just in general,
Speaker 4: if I'm looking at playing at Kentucky or going to
Speaker 4: Indiana where people go to disappear after having a good
Speaker 4: visit at Kentucky, I certainly would have picked the Cats.
Speaker 4: But Wilkerson had other plans. Like you said, it sounds
Speaker 4: like Indiana offered a little bit more, might have taken
Speaker 4: care of some people around him with a job. Has
Speaker 4: been reported a little bit, but I think the most
Speaker 4: telling thing was he went on field of sixty eight
Speaker 4: after his commitment and I didn't didn't want to be
Speaker 4: just one of the guys at Kentucky. I thought that
Speaker 4: was very telling. Sounds like a guy who's gonna get
Speaker 4: a lot more shots at Indiana and that's what he
Speaker 4: was looking for. So, you know, like I said, it's
Speaker 4: a loss for recruiting, you still have to find a shooter.
Speaker 4: I thought he would have been a great piece that
Speaker 4: could have completed the completed the class there's no sugarcoating that.
Speaker 4: But Indiana just had more to offer for him, and
Speaker 4: he took that.
Speaker 3: Shannon, what do you think.
Speaker 2: I was shocked? I mean I said yesterday there's no
Speaker 2: he's going to Indiana. When he narrowed it down, you know,
Speaker 2: he had what Auburn. I believe Ole Miss was on
Speaker 2: the list at one point, Indiana, Kentucky. If he narrowed
Speaker 2: it down to Kentucky and Auburn, I'd say, Okay, well,
Speaker 2: there's a good chance we're gonna lose this recruit to
Speaker 2: Auburn team that just went to the Final Four. But
Speaker 2: now we're talking about choosing Indiana over Kentucky. It has
Speaker 2: to come down to money, right, it has to And
Speaker 2: how about the irony in that quote? I just don't
Speaker 2: want to be another guy. You're gonna be another guy
Speaker 2: that nobody's gonna know at Indiana. You're gonna be another
Speaker 2: no name that's gonna sit there on the maybe even
Speaker 2: on the bench at Indiana. And you know, if you're
Speaker 2: a college basketball player, isn't the goal to get to
Speaker 2: the next level. Who do you think is gonna give
Speaker 2: you the better chance to get to the NBA? Right,
Speaker 2: Indiana or Kentucky. It's not even close. I mean, Kentucky's
Speaker 2: track record speaks for itself. I couldn't believe it, But
Speaker 2: maybe I shouldn't be shocked because I think, you know,
Speaker 2: in today's world, guys aren't necessarily going to the better school.
Speaker 2: They're just going They're just following the money, and I
Speaker 2: can't be mad about that. But I'm looking long term,
Speaker 2: you're gonna make more money with Kentucky or Indiana. Long
Speaker 2: term you're gonna be making more money with Kentucky. You
Speaker 2: just are. You're gonna make money here, and you're gonna
Speaker 2: make money when you go to the league.
Speaker 3: I agree with both you guys that the quote that
Speaker 3: he gave to in the field of six YEA with
Speaker 3: Jeff Goodman, I think speaks volumes and maybe where his
Speaker 3: head was, he goes, I just don't want to go
Speaker 3: be another one of the guys. So he's thinking, Okay,
Speaker 3: imight have to split time with Otega or some of
Speaker 3: the guys that they already have on staff. I can
Speaker 3: go to Indiana and be the guy and play with
Speaker 3: maybe your son. Yet Tright, the coaches sons a shooter too,
Speaker 3: so maybe it's a little bit of a blessing in
Speaker 3: disguise that maybe he wouldn't have fit here. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to find a positive in this well.
Speaker 4: I mean, I he would have been a good fit.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's why I think it's a loss. But
Speaker 4: some guys just want more shots, and that's something Kentucky
Speaker 4: can't offer right now. That will be a problem for
Speaker 4: anyone they recruit for this last spot, as they have
Speaker 4: a crowded roster right now and no one really knows
Speaker 4: how it shapes out. So if you're like Lamar Will
Speaker 4: Wilkerson or anyone who's balled on it, but ball dominant
Speaker 4: wants a bunch of shots, I could understand why you
Speaker 4: look somewhere like in Indiana, especially if they're offering more money,
Speaker 4: because it sounds like they probably promised him getting a
Speaker 4: certain amount of shot attempts and a piece of the offense,
Speaker 4: where Kentucky's just not in a place to promise that
Speaker 4: to anyone with all they have coming back. But uh, Kentucky,
Speaker 4: you will still have to find a shooter.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the backup plan is here. There's
Speaker 4: some names floating around, but this was I've given Pope
Speaker 4: a little bit of you know, a lot of people
Speaker 4: saying this guy's a loss just because they zoomed. It's
Speaker 4: not a loss. This one is definitely a loss. He
Speaker 4: missed this one. They were all in on Wilkerson, did
Speaker 4: the whole visit on Sunday, the whole tour, got him
Speaker 4: to stay longer than I think he planned. Thought they
Speaker 4: were in a good spot, and then Indiana steals it
Speaker 4: the last minute. So this one, we are holding the
Speaker 4: l in this recruitment. Even though big picture you feel
Speaker 4: that spot you can be fine. It's not like, you know,
Speaker 4: Lamar Wilkerson was just this world beater that we knew
Speaker 4: was gonna come and be a star. But he was
Speaker 4: in need as a shooter that instincts that they missed
Speaker 4: out on.
Speaker 3: So you agree that Indiana probably gave me more money
Speaker 3: than Kentucky offered.
Speaker 4: I mean that's what's being reported. I'm just reading what
Speaker 4: everyone else is reading. And you know, at the end
Speaker 4: of the day, this can happen with any recruitment. You
Speaker 4: can have a guy in the final hour and a
Speaker 4: booster can be like, wait a minute, I don't want
Speaker 4: him to go there. Sure I can venmo you another whatever,
Speaker 4: and it can all change on a dime like that,
Speaker 4: with the money being involved, that might have been what
Speaker 4: happened here. So it stinks. But back to the portal,
Speaker 4: gotta find somebody in that spot.
Speaker 3: Do you also agree that they kind of did maybe
Speaker 3: offer somebody in his inner circle a spot on the staff,
Speaker 3: maybe not a coach, but on their staff. Also, that's
Speaker 3: kind of been reported.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's been out there online. You know, that's a
Speaker 4: popular tactic. Kentucky's lost on that move a lot. Kentucky's
Speaker 4: not really a school I think will ever really do that.
Speaker 4: Maybe you can get a job somewhere in town, but
Speaker 4: put you on staff. I think that's that's been eath Kentucky.
Speaker 4: But they've I mean they lost recruits under cal that way,
Speaker 4: some big time recruits. Kate Cunningham. I lost him because
Speaker 4: I believe his brother someone got a job. But that's
Speaker 4: a move lots of schools use, and if Indiana did that,
Speaker 4: it just adds to what they did to still way,
Speaker 4: I think it'd be mostly money though, if they if
Speaker 4: they offered more money and guaranteed playing time.
Speaker 3: So what's plan b.
Speaker 4: Uh, Well, I mean they've been in touch with a
Speaker 4: few people. There's kay tye out North Carolina. You got
Speaker 4: Ian Jackson who almost committed to col But it doesn't
Speaker 4: seem like there's a clear plan B. The portal's open
Speaker 4: for another week. You could always steal someone. You could
Speaker 4: go European. The Trace and Eagles staff that was committed
Speaker 4: to South Carolina. He committed two weeks ago. He already
Speaker 4: decommitted this morning. Poor South Carolina. You get a guy
Speaker 4: he thinks gonna be the highlight of your porter class.
Speaker 4: He committed on March thirtieth. In this morning he stepped out.
Speaker 4: I don't know that Kentucky will be involved because they
Speaker 4: had a chance to be involved early and didn't really
Speaker 4: go anywhere. They might give him a call. But he's
Speaker 4: another name that just popped up.
Speaker 3: Because even though somebody commits to a school, the other
Speaker 3: schools don't just stop recruiting that kid. I learned that
Speaker 3: for Vince Merrill. He said, look, well, all you use
Speaker 3: Wondale Robinson as an example. You know he picks Nebraska,
Speaker 3: but we still have our communication with Wandale. A couple
Speaker 3: of years later, Wandell wants to come back home. We're
Speaker 3: ready for it. We've already been talking to him. So
Speaker 3: these schools don't quit talk of these guys until they
Speaker 3: get enrolled. So I can see why the guy at
Speaker 3: South Carolina even committed to South Carolina. I'm sure he was.
Speaker 3: Any other schools were still in his ear for the
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this just happened before the show. I've been in
Speaker 4: the dentist chair all morning. You like, my teeth still
Speaker 4: got a little floor on in there?
Speaker 3: Did you go d Justice?
Speaker 6: Nat?
Speaker 4: Did go?
Speaker 3: Dodtr Thompson?
Speaker 4: I did talk. We talked to a little Lamar Wilkerson
Speaker 4: as he was checking out my X rays.
Speaker 3: Doctor Thompson, former Kentucky Wesleyan baseball here.
Speaker 4: By the way, you know, even even my dentist was disappointed.
Speaker 4: He wanted to talk about Lucas oil. He was there
Speaker 4: for that one too, so not it was like going
Speaker 4: to the dentist and then also adding some UK losses
Speaker 4: on top of the dentist discussion there. But anyway, I
Speaker 4: didn't the Eagle staff. Things kind of new to me.
Speaker 4: I don't know what's being reported of where he may go,
Speaker 4: and I don't even know if Kentucky, if that is
Speaker 4: a serious option, but at is wild he was committed
Speaker 4: to South Carolina for two weeks and has already reopened.
Speaker 4: It just chaotic times we're.
Speaker 3: In so a lot of people were coming at us,
Speaker 3: mad at us because we missed. We were kind of saying, yesterday,
Speaker 3: it looks everything looks good. You know, I think we're
Speaker 3: gonna get this guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's our fault. It's our fault because we're involved
Speaker 2: in the recruit process. I think it's just a different
Speaker 2: world we're living in and things can change so fast
Speaker 2: because it's a lot of it is about money. Okay,
Speaker 2: we put this like in the real estate world. You know,
Speaker 2: we reach agreement on the sell a house. Before the
Speaker 2: contract gets signed, somebody offers me more money. Guess what
Speaker 2: offer we're taking. We're not taking that first one we
Speaker 2: agree to. We're taking the more money offer. I think
Speaker 2: that's we're just seeing that a lot in this in
Speaker 2: IOW world we're living in right now.
Speaker 4: I still think you need a fire text machine guy.
Speaker 4: I think he's he's he's letting you down. I don't
Speaker 4: know who your scoop is, but I think he might
Speaker 4: need to be put to the side.
Speaker 3: Failed his information is still really good. He's and he's
Speaker 3: really upset that it's kind of paying out this last
Speaker 3: couple of times, but I still trusting.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, maybe take a few plays off from him.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you're right. I mean, as I said, at
Speaker 4: any moment, you know, a booster could get word of
Speaker 4: well I don't want to go there, I want him here.
Speaker 4: I'll go find you a little more money, and at
Speaker 4: the final hour you can call up and say, hey,
Speaker 4: they're offering this, let me put a little more on
Speaker 4: top of it. And that can change everything. That's just
Speaker 4: college sports these days.
Speaker 3: Shannon, it's it's this is something I think we've got to
Speaker 3: get used to that until they actually are on campus,
Speaker 3: it could change. In what changed in half a day yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yep, players go to the highest bidder, and you know,
Speaker 2: we can say that we are gonna get guys that
Speaker 2: want to come and play for Kentucky just because they
Speaker 2: love Kentucky. And maybe that's true for some guys, but
Speaker 2: I think the majority of players now have less loyalty
Speaker 2: to a brand and more loyalty to the money. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, unless it's your absolute dream school, are you
Speaker 2: going to turn down less money to go to that
Speaker 2: school versus another school over here that maybe you had
Speaker 2: no intentions of going to but they're offering a big
Speaker 2: fat number, And especially if you're a player that doesn't
Speaker 2: necessarily know what your future is going to hold as
Speaker 2: to whether or not you would be projected in the
Speaker 2: NBA Draft, you got to cash in while you can,
Speaker 2: and especially right now. There's no better time to be
Speaker 2: a college player than right now, right now, in this
Speaker 2: very moment, maybe ever in history, even go you know,
Speaker 2: and going definitely in history, but maybe even going forward
Speaker 2: into the future is what I.
Speaker 3: Mean, Shannon Dright. There have been guys that like, maybe
Speaker 3: pick a school for less money because they want to
Speaker 3: play for that school. And Kentucky's one of those schools.
Speaker 3: You could probably do that, you know, because you're playing
Speaker 3: for Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska, I mean North Carolina. Why said Nebraska?
Speaker 3: North Carolina got wond Delle Robinson on my mind at Duke.
Speaker 3: But a lot of times though they're going to pick
Speaker 3: the money and play at a school like Indiana over Kentucky.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't want this to come off as
Speaker 4: a sore loser, Wilkerson. We'll just say talk about in general.
Speaker 4: You know, Pope wants this certain culture you have to
Speaker 4: buy into and not every guy out there is going
Speaker 4: to buy into it. Maybe Wilkerson's that way and what
Speaker 4: he said, I didn't want to be one of the guys.
Speaker 4: So I know Kentucky wants the best of the best
Speaker 4: at every position, but maybe in the long run it
Speaker 4: wouldn't have worked out. I'm not saying that with him specifically.
Speaker 4: I don't know him. I don't know what he's thinking.
Speaker 4: But there are guys out there that Kentucky contacts that
Speaker 4: could end up being a problem if they're truly just
Speaker 4: looking for money and shots, because that's not really going
Speaker 4: to fly here. And what's Pope selling and the thing
Speaker 4: we liked about the team so much last year as
Speaker 4: they're all bought in, right, it seems the guys he's
Speaker 4: got in right now are bought in, but that not
Speaker 4: every player out there wants to buy in to the
Speaker 4: front of the Jersey.
Speaker 2: Totally agree with what Drew's saying. Sometimes attitude goes a
Speaker 2: lot farther than what how many stars they had coming
Speaker 2: out of high school.
Speaker 3: You know we saw that last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, yeah, exactly. I mean Mark Pope took guys
Speaker 2: and threw them together, and you know, was one step
Speaker 2: away from the Elite eight in his first year, and.
Speaker 4: With the portal, A lot of these guys they're not
Speaker 4: going to the NBA. You know, I don't know what
Speaker 4: Wilkerson's future is. Again leave him out. So I not
Speaker 4: sounding like I'm just being a sore loser here, but
Speaker 4: just in general, their portal bag is their bag. They'll
Speaker 4: be overseas maybe, but a difference in five hundred thousand
Speaker 4: or a million or one year of college that is
Speaker 4: their NBA. A lot of them have to focus on
Speaker 4: the money and put the rest of the stuff aside.
Speaker 3: It is worth noting that at this time last year,
Speaker 3: Mark Pope had zero players on his roster, zero and
Speaker 3: the like Shannon said, he didn't it pretty good one
Speaker 3: game away from the Elite eight.
Speaker 4: I still love the roster too. Actually I wanted Wilkerson certainly,
Speaker 4: and they need shooting. The back court needs another piece,
Speaker 4: whether it be a backup point guard just a guy
Speaker 4: coming make shots. But overall, I still like it. You know,
Speaker 4: Quainting's with his Acl'm my liking it is assuming he's
Speaker 4: backing healthy by SEC play. That's that's one kind of
Speaker 4: iffy situation. But otherwise I like everything to this point
Speaker 4: as long as they get the last piece that fits.
Speaker 3: So you miss out on Wickerson, but you're still happy
Speaker 3: with the roster, and as a roster you think can
Speaker 3: still be successful, knowing not anybody else, you're still feel
Speaker 3: good about it.
Speaker 4: Well, you can go to the last year's portal and
Speaker 4: look at all the people Kentucky missed on and you're like, oh,
Speaker 4: you know, if I missed that one, wish I had
Speaker 4: that one. Then you look at what they did. They
Speaker 4: didn't really pan out. I mean, there's there was a
Speaker 4: lot of misses last year, and you're all right, you
Speaker 4: missed several guys earlier.
Speaker 2: Dent.
Speaker 4: I know we wanted real bad Yaxel. We still don't
Speaker 4: know he'll do.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 4: Stinks to lose those guys, but overall, I still think
Speaker 4: Pope's done a good job putting things together. He still
Speaker 4: just needs to get one more piece. You got a
Speaker 4: week to get one out of the portal, and if
Speaker 4: that doesn't work, maybe a guy that's considering the draft,
Speaker 4: or heck, we'll go back to Europe. Your boy Andreas
Speaker 4: and Croatia. He got any friends that can shoot. There's
Speaker 4: there's still a few options, but he will need to
Speaker 4: move quickly. If he's looking for a college guard because
Speaker 4: that that door will close at the end of the week.
Speaker 3: There were over two thousand players that entered the transfer portal,
Speaker 3: two thousand and fifty. Out of that twenty and fifty,
Speaker 3: only three hundred and ninety three are currently committed. There's
Speaker 3: still a lot of players out there. Fish in the sea,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of players out there.
Speaker 4: So this one just thinks that they seem to be
Speaker 4: all in on him. They did, and I don't know
Speaker 4: if there was a big backup plan. It gave him
Speaker 4: the whole tour that they were confident. This one just
Speaker 4: thinks because it is, it does go in the loss category.
Speaker 3: And it kind of stinks. He picked Indiana especially.
Speaker 4: Well play him. He'll be in roup next year, that's right.
Speaker 4: He better not even look at Keenland out the plane
Speaker 4: window when they're landing. Don't even get near it. Take
Speaker 4: the long way around. You are not allowed near Keenland.
Speaker 4: Lamar Wilkerson through it was your.
Speaker 3: Tweet, Drew's tweet and said that the horse was going
Speaker 3: to be there. They're going to have the.
Speaker 4: Horse out of course, magnificentgo oh, magnifico. Make him the
Speaker 4: Why can a horse be a Why what.
Speaker 2: Would you go to say, Shannon, I was gonna say,
Speaker 2: already forgot his name. He's just another guy to me,
Speaker 2: just another guy.
Speaker 3: I don't want to go be another guy. Well, guess
Speaker 3: what You're gonna be another guy up there? All right?
Speaker 3: Ryan Drew and Shannon here, Kentucky Sport Trader. We got
Speaker 3: Mario here. He had a big day yesterday. He was
Speaker 3: with Mitch McConnell yesterday and Louisville.
Speaker 2: I saw that.
Speaker 3: I know Mitch, they were like brothers. Did you see that?
Speaker 3: They're like all buddy buddy.
Speaker 4: Now I'm surprised he's here. I thought he was just
Speaker 4: gonna follow Mitch around.
Speaker 2: Matt's to write a book about Mario.
Speaker 3: We'll take a break, come back. The phone line will
Speaker 3: be open all day eight five nine two eight two

Speaker 3: He did do a Twitter space yesterday. I did. I
Speaker 3: didn't know what was going on till was over. Did
Speaker 3: you catch any of it?
Speaker 4: A little bit of it. He did a little bit
Speaker 4: of Wilkerson. Then people asked some questions. Yeah, talked about
Speaker 4: the Reds. You know, the Reds one it about the Reds,
Speaker 4: the Reds of one six.
Speaker 3: That was me broke some breaking something, Mario, What did
Speaker 3: you do?
Speaker 4: Was that important? Whatever? I just kicked. Okay, that's my bat.
Speaker 3: The Reds have won six of seven since he's been gone.
Speaker 3: I think that's not a coincidence.
Speaker 4: It's gonna stay gone.
Speaker 3: I think maybe the Reds were gonna pay for him
Speaker 3: to stay over in Amsterdam.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they won again last night. How'd your Braves do
Speaker 3: last night?
Speaker 2: I don't think they played last night. Oh I think
Speaker 2: they were all No, that's they played. They lost again.
Speaker 3: They uh uk baseball another another walk off bunt win.
Speaker 3: So two of their last three games they've won on
Speaker 3: a walk off bunt. This was like a safety scree squeeze.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: They had the winning run on third safety squeeze. The
Speaker 3: third base became charging in dough and the ball hit
Speaker 3: on the heel of his glove, Shannon, I mean he
Speaker 3: dove made the play, but the ball hill on the
Speaker 3: heel of his glove and kicked out. Cats win another
Speaker 3: come from behind win. We're not coming behind me in
Speaker 3: an exciting win.
Speaker 2: Let's pick ka Tucky's best offense. Just bunt the ball.
Speaker 2: You know, something that you don't see in many forms
Speaker 2: of baseball anymore these days? But yeah, that's I'd like
Speaker 2: to know. Is there, Like, when was the last time
Speaker 2: Kentucky baseball, or any team for that matter, one back
Speaker 2: to back bunts, walk off bunts.
Speaker 3: Walk off game buns. No way, this doesn't happen this
Speaker 3: day and age. You're right, all right? Eight five nine
Speaker 3: two eight h two two eighty seven. Who's our first
Speaker 3: caller today? Let's go to Lee Lee? Go ahead, Lee.
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, I know I'm an old guy, and I
Speaker 8: think this college money just getting way out of way
Speaker 8: out of kilters, not for what they wanted. But I
Speaker 8: understand the kids are gonna get paid. My question is
Speaker 8: I have a friend who played professional sports, and whenever
Speaker 8: he traveled, he had to pay taxes in every state,
Speaker 8: Like if he played the Cincinnati Regie paid Ohio state
Speaker 8: tax because he's an entertainer. He went to California, you
Speaker 8: had to pay back California state tax. Are they going
Speaker 8: to start making these kids pay taxes on because of
Speaker 8: their entertainers they're you know, if Kentucky's playing in Texas,
Speaker 8: are they gonna have to pay tax Texas state tax
Speaker 8: on that money they're getting paid because they're an entertainer,
Speaker 8: just like Garth Brooks pays state tax when he goes
Speaker 8: and plays at different states. And if they are, it's
Speaker 8: gonna get really crazy because most of that money they got,
Speaker 8: it's going to go to their agent and the paying taxes.
Speaker 8: And I think they need to also make the kids
Speaker 8: be on track to graduate it because they got to
Speaker 8: have something to fall back on because not all these
Speaker 8: kids are going to play pro sports. And I'd just
Speaker 8: like to hear your all's comment.
Speaker 3: I appreciate Lee. You know, Matt has talked about that.
Speaker 3: You know, when it gets to that point where if
Speaker 3: they're considered employees, they signed contracts, they're gonna have to
Speaker 3: pay taxes, and I guess they would probably like an
Speaker 3: entertainer they I guess. I guess they would have to
Speaker 3: play in every pay in every state they play in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never considered ready mentioned the state by state
Speaker 4: because I know athletes have to do that. Yeah, pro golfers,
Speaker 4: they're paying in every state they go to Shannon. Your wrestlers,
Speaker 4: they probably have the hardest being in a different state
Speaker 4: every night. But uh, heck, they probably pay taxes in
Speaker 4: all fifty states. I've never considered that with the athletes.
Speaker 4: I know a lot of them already get a little
Speaker 4: blind side as taxes is as it is here recently.
Speaker 4: I know, call and I assume Pope then make you
Speaker 4: know tax education a big part of all this, that
Speaker 4: these guys are getting all this money, Like, hey, don't
Speaker 4: be surprised when April rolls around, because you do owe
Speaker 4: taxes all in all this. But I never considered about
Speaker 4: if you're playing at Tuscaloosa, if state by state it
Speaker 4: would be that way too. I guess I assume it
Speaker 4: would be. Every other sport does that.
Speaker 2: I'm not an accountant, But wouldn't the money be coming
Speaker 2: from the state of Kentucky that they're getting paid for,
Speaker 2: so I don't know that they would have to pay
Speaker 2: in every state. True, if the money is coming from Kentucky,
Speaker 2: you know, like when they go to play to Florida
Speaker 2: play in Florida, Florida. The state of Florida is not
Speaker 2: paying Kentucky players, are they? So it's coming from Kentucky.
Speaker 2: I would think they only pay Kentucky tax That's why
Speaker 2: you're our tax expert, right, I mean, maybe I'm wrong
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 3: Again, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know my taxes yet, so I don't I
Speaker 4: don't know. I don't even know my own taxes.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Kentucky got the exemption you got until
Speaker 3: no vembits taxes.
Speaker 4: I'm exempt. Look at me. Look at the smile. This
Speaker 4: is the smile of someone who's exempt.
Speaker 3: What are the audience?
Speaker 4: I know, taxes in general have bond sided athletes already,
Speaker 4: they're new to this. That didn't pus all the side?
Speaker 4: And then a taxman came calling, What.
Speaker 3: Are the odds that Matt got his taxes done before
Speaker 3: he went down zero?
Speaker 4: Usually most years his accountant calls me and says, can
Speaker 4: you have him call me? You can't track him down?
Speaker 3: Got stuff?
Speaker 4: I got it, But then I didn't get that call
Speaker 4: this year, So maybe he did.
Speaker 3: Maybe he did?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 3: Eight two two eight seven? Who's next gen?
Speaker 10: Is?
Speaker 3: Scott Scott, go ahead, Scott.
Speaker 5: Hey, goodboy, guys. A quick question on the ni L
Speaker 5: we may go out like sign autographs. Do they also
Speaker 5: get paid on top of the nil and do like
Speaker 5: autograph signings and everything?
Speaker 2: Boy, we asked he's saying, like, you know, you're getting
Speaker 2: Ryan Lemons coming to play for Kentucky. We're gonna give
Speaker 2: you a million dollars, but then you're also going to
Speaker 2: go out and sign autographs. Do they get He's asking,
Speaker 2: do they get paid on top of that million dollars
Speaker 2: when they go out and sign each autograph?
Speaker 3: Yes, that included in the no. I thank you that
Speaker 3: that's extra man. If you do a camp, autograph sessions, whatever,
Speaker 3: that's extra money in your pocket.
Speaker 4: That'll all be in their contracts, some of them when
Speaker 4: they signed these two million dollar deals, it might say
Speaker 4: you're expected to do ten camps, yes, all right, five
Speaker 4: signings that that would be a case by case.
Speaker 5: Okay, I follow up question to that now, like the
Speaker 5: guy that's just what the Indiana? Do you think he
Speaker 5: could make more money sign an autograph to Indiana or
Speaker 5: you make more money.
Speaker 2: That's that's a rhetorical question that doesn't even need to
Speaker 2: be answered.
Speaker 5: He just gonna.
Speaker 3: All right, appreciate Scott. Yeah, he just didn't want to
Speaker 3: be in one of the guys here in Lexington just
Speaker 3: doesn't want to be successful and make money in autograph sessions.
Speaker 4: And he did say he's taking Indiana back to the top.
Speaker 4: I mean, how many people have tried to take Indiana
Speaker 4: back to where it not where it belongs, because it
Speaker 4: belongs in hell, but uh, back to where it was
Speaker 4: in the eighties.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I've got some of my family and
Speaker 3: friends are pounding their chest, like you know, HELLI beat
Speaker 3: Kentucky out for this recruit. We're back. We're back, baby.
Speaker 4: I remember when Mike Woodson got hired just a few
Speaker 4: years ago. Mike Woodson, we're coming home. We have all
Speaker 4: this ni O money. Look what that got him. They're
Speaker 4: always back, always back.
Speaker 3: Eight five, nine, two to eighty seven. Who's next, Shannon?
Speaker 3: Real quick, let's go to Liam, Liam, Go ahead, Liam?
Speaker 5: Who are the four mL m vps whose last name
Speaker 5: started with R?
Speaker 8: This was the Red Scoreboards stumper on the radio last night.
Speaker 4: You all know me in the Red Scoreboards. I'll set
Speaker 4: this one out at.
Speaker 3: Four history National League MVPs, National League MVPs name.
Speaker 5: Started with R with R.
Speaker 3: How much time we got to think about this?
Speaker 2: Not enough? We're about to go to the break.
Speaker 3: Okay, well we'll think about it during the break and
Speaker 3: we'll come back. Alex national League?
Speaker 4: Was he never in the National League ever?
Speaker 3: No, well, we'll try to come up with somewhere without cheating.
Speaker 6: Liam.
Speaker 3: We're gonna go look him up. We'll be back. This
Speaker 3: is Kentucky's Ports Radio.
Speaker 4: T J Smith, Personal injury Attorney, TJ. He'll make them pay.
Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio, present it by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 2: Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 3: All right, we spent the whole commercial break trying to
Speaker 3: answer Liam's trivia question. We didn't cheat. Shannon and I
Speaker 3: are trying to come up with four players who won
Speaker 3: the National League Most Valuable Player award whose last name
Speaker 3: started with R. We've got three on our list, Drew went.
Speaker 4: I have the answers in Wikipedia.
Speaker 3: Okay, here's our three guesses, and I know one of
Speaker 3: them is wrong, but I couldn't think of anybody else
Speaker 3: with R unless you got another one.
Speaker 2: Channon, No, nothing comes to mind.
Speaker 3: Frank Robinson, I feel good about him. That's one correct,
Speaker 3: Jackie Robinson, though there's two okay, we're two little bell
Speaker 3: Mario make a bell noise?
Speaker 5: There?
Speaker 2: It is minute?
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: But then I wrote, and I know this is wrong,
Speaker 3: but I couldn't think of anybody else, Nolan Ryan, So
Speaker 3: we need two more, and we couldn't think of who
Speaker 3: they were.
Speaker 4: You have to go pretty far back. There's only been
Speaker 4: one since nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3: Who's that one?
Speaker 11: That is?
Speaker 4: Uh, Jimmy Rollins from the first Yeah, never the one
Speaker 4: I said that you probably wouldn't remember winning the VP.
Speaker 4: The other it's also a Red. There's two Reds on
Speaker 4: the list. Pete Rose, there you go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pete Rose.
Speaker 3: What don't we think of that?
Speaker 4: It's probably while the Reds had it as a tribute question?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think even I Frank Robinson was a
Speaker 3: Red when.
Speaker 4: He was unlested does a Red on the pedia?
Speaker 3: So we got two and a half. We had to
Speaker 3: get a little, a little hint, but we got two
Speaker 3: and a half. Al right, eight five nine, two eight
Speaker 3: two to eighty seven, Ryan Drew and Shannon here kN
Speaker 3: take a sports radio Who's next?
Speaker 2: Bruce?
Speaker 4: Bruce?
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Bruce.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: The it's much worse than just the state. They're gonna
Speaker 9: have to pay the local municipality payroll tax either or Kentucky.
Speaker 9: Their employer may pay it, but it's going to get paid.
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, they'll get their money. How there's no
Speaker 3: doubt you're if you're an employee, they're gonna get their money.
Speaker 9: You know, you've got Lection and Fayette two and a
Speaker 9: quarter percent, and it depends upon where they playing their residence.
Speaker 9: They may also have to pay another half percent in
Speaker 9: school tax. So and the pros typically they pro rated
Speaker 9: across the games.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, Bruce, we appreciate it. I mean, this is
Speaker 3: some technical stuff that's way over my pay grade. That's
Speaker 3: why Matt's so good at this. He knows the answers
Speaker 3: to a lot of these is going.
Speaker 2: To be a ten ninety eight or a ten ninety
Speaker 2: nine ANEC like, yes.
Speaker 4: Sure for these answers, I usually just email everything in.
Speaker 3: Uh the first segment we went all around the UK roster.
Speaker 3: We didn't failed dimension I should have otega oh Way
Speaker 3: did announced yesterday he was going to test the NBA
Speaker 3: waters Is there any concern that maybe he might get
Speaker 3: good news and find out he's a second round pick
Speaker 3: and not come back to Kentucky.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna guarantee he's back. Uh, you know,
Speaker 4: I've said it yesterday. I fully expected him to go
Speaker 4: in there enter the draft as he should. He should,
Speaker 4: he should go that for the experience and the feedback.
Speaker 4: I zero for sent surprise he put his name in.
Speaker 4: Now will he get the feedback he wants? I still
Speaker 4: think that's unlikely. But until he gets up there and
Speaker 4: goes through it, I you know, I don't know what
Speaker 4: will happen to those interviews and the private workouts he has.
Speaker 4: He's not on any of the draft boards, so he
Speaker 4: would have to have a pretty huge climb to get
Speaker 4: to a position where I think he'd leave. Like, I
Speaker 4: think he'd have to be a first rounder. He's gonna
Speaker 4: make so much more money at Kentucky than he would
Speaker 4: second team, you know, on a two way or playing
Speaker 4: in the G League, So I would I would not
Speaker 4: expect him to stay in the draft. But I'm not
Speaker 4: surprised at all he entered the draft, and I would
Speaker 4: have entered the draft prober him. I think if I
Speaker 4: weres in his team, I would have said you should
Speaker 4: enter the draft. So the news is exactly what should
Speaker 4: have happened. Now we just kind of wait and see
Speaker 4: what he does next. But I can't imagine he'll get
Speaker 4: the feedback he wants to get up to the first round.
Speaker 4: He'll make two or three million at Kentucky, think make
Speaker 4: him one of the highest paid places in college basketball.
Speaker 4: So why wouldn't you want to run that back instead of,
Speaker 4: you know, being a second round pick or even worse
Speaker 4: than trying to play your way in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. I mean, unless he's projected at first round,
Speaker 2: which he's not going to be, he's going to come
Speaker 2: back to Kentucky make more money here. Is there a
Speaker 2: chance that maybe he does come back and have a
Speaker 2: really great season and play his way into potentially being
Speaker 2: in the conversation to be a late first round pick. Sure,
Speaker 2: and I think that's why he comes back to Kentucky
Speaker 2: for another season.
Speaker 3: And to add to this, I do believe other teams
Speaker 3: have called him and tried to entice him to maybe
Speaker 3: with more money, why don't you leave Kentucky and come
Speaker 3: here to I'm just gonna use Indiana. I think that's happened.
Speaker 3: But I think the fact that he is not into
Speaker 3: the portal, I think he does want to be here,
Speaker 3: So I guess it depends on what kind of feedback
Speaker 3: he gets at the NBA camp.
Speaker 4: Yeah, some guys have into the draft and the portal
Speaker 4: at the same time. Even Yaxell did that. There's been
Speaker 4: several others where they say, I'm going to the Draft,
Speaker 4: but I'm also going to the portal. Always said I'm
Speaker 4: leaving my keeping my NCAA eligibility. He didn't officially enter
Speaker 4: the portal. I guess someone could still call him and
Speaker 4: blow his mind with a big offer and steal him away.
Speaker 4: It's not a sure thing he's back, but I'm still
Speaker 4: pretty confident he would be back. I just don't think
Speaker 4: the NBA is therefore m yet.
Speaker 3: So what's the latest with Yaks. He's just going to
Speaker 3: try the NBA waters and then then I.
Speaker 4: Guess he's got a pretty high stock. I mean, now
Speaker 4: that Kentucky didn't get him, I think we're all rooting
Speaker 4: for him to go to the NBA and leave uh
Speaker 4: Michigan in a bad spot. Michigan ended up being they've
Speaker 4: got one of the better portal classes, spending the most
Speaker 4: money this year. Dusty may up. There's putting a lot together,
Speaker 4: But I Yaxell could end up being a first round pick.
Speaker 4: That's where he's projected, and if that's the case, I
Speaker 4: think he should go.
Speaker 3: Eight five nine two O two two eighty seven. Who's next?
Speaker 2: Shan Is go to Isaiah?
Speaker 3: Isaiah, Go ahead, Isaiah.
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, hope you all are having a good day.
Speaker 11: I know, I'll just kind of spoke on it. But
Speaker 11: what do you think the season trajectory looks like without Otaga?
Speaker 11: If you are to stay, and what are some names
Speaker 11: we would have on our list to replace him?
Speaker 3: Appreciate the phone call. If if Otaga doesn't come back,
Speaker 3: then there's definitely a big hole there at the two.
Speaker 4: That's a whole other conversation. If you don't have our
Speaker 4: Way back, the shooter is is more of a one
Speaker 4: Kentucky for he has one of perfect roster. We want
Speaker 4: two of everything. Kentucky's in a pretty good spot as
Speaker 4: it is. We'd still want to add some shooting, but
Speaker 4: that's all considering o Way is back and leading your team.
Speaker 4: If he goes somewhere else, then you got problems.
Speaker 3: And we still have Colin Chandler, Jasper Johnson, Trent Noah,
Speaker 3: Travis Perry. Is not like you know, there's guys that
Speaker 3: have proven they can be a great shooter, and.
Speaker 4: Of that group, I still think Chandler is gonna make
Speaker 4: the biggest jump and be the biggest contributor. I mean,
Speaker 4: I Perry might have to play some backup point guard
Speaker 4: now that a Kayt and lewis left, and you know
Speaker 4: Jasper He's highly rated and has a lot of potential.
Speaker 4: I think he's got to get little more physical. He
Speaker 4: didn't play much in the Hoops Summit last weekend, but
Speaker 4: of that group, I think Chandler's the one to watch
Speaker 4: as a big contributor.
Speaker 3: Travis Perry is the better shooter than what we saw
Speaker 3: him this year. I know people kind of got down
Speaker 3: on him, but he's a much better shooter, much better
Speaker 3: score than we saw this year.
Speaker 4: He was just asked to do so much more than
Speaker 4: he anyone expected of him in a freshman year. I mean,
Speaker 4: he's having to guard Mark Sears and All American, one
Speaker 4: of the best players in the conference, and his shot
Speaker 4: wasn't what we needed it to be late in the year.
Speaker 4: But he was taking on a big load for a
Speaker 4: freshman who when he committed to Kentucky under Caliperry probably
Speaker 4: wouldn't even played in his freshman year and suddenly he's
Speaker 4: the starting point guard. So I think it's a little
Speaker 4: unfair to close the book or make any big judgments
Speaker 4: about what Travis can be based on what he did
Speaker 4: last year because he was asked to take on a
Speaker 4: lot in that spot. Next year, you keep low healthy.
Speaker 4: I worry about Travis's defense in the SEC. It can improve,
Speaker 4: but he'll need to knock down shots when he's in
Speaker 4: because that's why he's there.
Speaker 3: And Colin Chandlery, we got to remember, you know, he
Speaker 3: didn't play basketball for two years before he got on
Speaker 3: campus last year, and he still made huge strides throughout
Speaker 3: the season. I agree with you. I think we'll see
Speaker 3: just as biggest jump from him next year.
Speaker 4: Well, it took him a while to get going. I
Speaker 4: mean even in middle of the SEC play. They were
Speaker 4: games at least offensively where you're like, oh, I don't
Speaker 4: know if this guy can be in there right now.
Speaker 4: He looks out of place, looks uncomfortable. But the moment
Speaker 4: he flipped that switch and turned that light on, we
Speaker 4: started seeing a big rushing there's the season ended, and
Speaker 4: then you got him hitting step back threes, shooting from
Speaker 4: the March Badness logo. Something something clicked and you can
Speaker 4: only expect it to get better with the whole summer
Speaker 4: of that and going into his sophomore year where he's
Speaker 4: got a little bit of experience behind him.
Speaker 3: So would you feel comfortable if he ended up being
Speaker 3: the backup point guard?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's not. I mean, he's all of them are
Speaker 4: better off the ball. But if he went into the
Speaker 4: summer knowing I'm the backup point guard, he practiced there,
Speaker 4: got a little more work on that spot, he would
Speaker 4: be fine for ten to fifteen minutes. But you're still
Speaker 4: in a spot where you got to keep Low healthy.
Speaker 4: If you have a Butler situation with him, then I
Speaker 4: think you're in big trouble.
Speaker 3: And really what other team usually you think back with
Speaker 3: the past Kentucky team with cal Marcus t played the
Speaker 3: whole year at point guard, Brandon I played the whole
Speaker 3: year point guard, John Wall played the whole year point guard.
Speaker 3: You don't have the situation where you're going down to
Speaker 3: your fourth point guard that Kentucky had to do this year, and.
Speaker 4: With Butler this I don't think this will be the
Speaker 4: case with Low. He wasn't just the point guard. He
Speaker 4: was the leader leader, even in the summer in the
Speaker 4: interviews they're talking about just vocally. He was taken over
Speaker 4: and practice and kind of a coach on the floor.
Speaker 4: Maybe Low will be that. I don't know if we
Speaker 4: can expected of it, but Butler's experience was invaluable last year.
Speaker 4: It was very obvious when he was not playing that
Speaker 4: had affected everyone, especially on the defensive end. They really
Speaker 4: needed him out there.
Speaker 3: All right, Chan, it's getting in the phone call? Who
Speaker 3: he got?
Speaker 2: Tim?
Speaker 7: Tim?
Speaker 3: Go ahead? Tim?
Speaker 10: Yet, Hey, guys, don't you think those West Coast teams
Speaker 10: are at a disadvantage? Are you gonna pay a kid
Speaker 10: a million bucks in California? Million dollars comes dressed as
Speaker 10: four hundred thousand dollars when you get it checked, like
Speaker 10: Florida with no state of income tax. I mean, I'm
Speaker 10: going to be heavy on Florida if I'm in the port.
Speaker 4: I thought that when Dent went to UCLA, I was thinking, Hey, Pope,
Speaker 4: has anyone mentioned this kid that if the bags are
Speaker 4: the same and he's in California, those bags are not
Speaker 4: the same. But that's just another thing all these guys
Speaker 4: have to consider.
Speaker 3: And they they've got to consider that now. And if
Speaker 3: that ends up being the fact, Yeah.
Speaker 10: THEMDAL fixed the one and done problem. This is the
Speaker 10: first time in twenty years when I haven't been able
Speaker 10: to recite the top two kids in high school. And
Speaker 10: I don't care anymore.
Speaker 3: Appreciated t him, Appreciate the phone call. I mean, these
Speaker 3: are just issues now that have come up. When you
Speaker 3: start paying these players, and if they start signing contracts
Speaker 3: and they become employees, what about health benefits? You know,
Speaker 3: they got it. A lot of things a factor into this. Now.
Speaker 4: That's all that house settlement should get wrapped up soon,
Speaker 4: maybe even this week. Speaking about portal and contracts, Shannon,
Speaker 4: I feel like this is something you were taking gleean
Speaker 4: Nico at Tennessee seems to have made a terrible move. Oh,
Speaker 4: he is not getting paid by anyone. No one is
Speaker 4: touching it. Even Tulane said, Nah, I think we're all right.
Speaker 4: He could be the example of why you don't want
Speaker 4: to get too greedy in and iamn He might end
Speaker 4: up with half of what he was getting at Tennessee
Speaker 4: when he asked for more. That's what he's getting two
Speaker 4: point five at Tennessee, one A four And now they're
Speaker 4: saying we might give you a million. Maybe if we
Speaker 4: feel like.
Speaker 2: It all comes down to greed. I mean, that's what
Speaker 2: it is. You're making two million dollars, you're a starting
Speaker 2: quarterback for Tennessee, you're playing in the SEC, the best
Speaker 2: conference to play football in, and then you let greed
Speaker 2: take over and you want to go somewhere else. And
Speaker 2: good for Tennessee for finally drawing a line and going, no,
Speaker 2: we're gonna call your bluff. We're not gonna pay you
Speaker 2: more than that. Go somewhere else. And that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: He's gonna end up maybe making less than half of
Speaker 2: what he was making at Tennessee to play for a
Speaker 2: worse school.
Speaker 4: And he was on draft boards, he played in the
Speaker 4: playoff last year. Yeah, one of the featured quarterbacks of
Speaker 4: the SEC. And he's wanted another mill and a half
Speaker 4: and he could end up anywhere.
Speaker 3: Even Paul Finbaum said this week, I wouldn't touch him.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of schools are that way. They
Speaker 3: don't want to touch that of that guy.
Speaker 4: Right now, I almost wish the coaches on the back end.
Speaker 4: I've made up the scenario in my head where they've
Speaker 4: all just agreed, make an example of this one. So
Speaker 4: this won't happen again to any.
Speaker 3: Of the rest of us.
Speaker 4: Just let Nico float around, let him go to Jucco.
Speaker 4: Just someone needs to might happen. Yeah, And I would
Speaker 4: feel bad for him a little because the sounds like
Speaker 4: a lot of this was his dad, and you hate
Speaker 4: when parents are derailing kids careers, like he's just done
Speaker 4: with this one. But I mean, Nico could to end
Speaker 4: up anywhere and he's not going to get anything close
Speaker 4: to what he was already waking at Tennessee.
Speaker 3: He reached out to Oregon right even in Oregon said no.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Carolina, that's his list was like two Lane in
Speaker 4: North Carolina yesterday. They're out. Teams are just gonna wait
Speaker 4: until he's on fire sale. He'll be at the little
Speaker 4: rack up by the cash register for sale, and that's
Speaker 4: when someone will pick up on him.
Speaker 3: You know, Like Bob Dylan said, Shannon, seasons they are
Speaker 3: a changing, that's right, and so are the rates. If
Speaker 3: you bought a home in the last couple of years,
Speaker 3: maybe it's time to look at your home home loan
Speaker 3: to see if it's a good time to pull the refine.
Speaker 3: If you're thinking of refinancing your mortgage, talk to the
Speaker 3: people at Stockton Mortgage ask for a free mortgage review.
Speaker 3: It started at stockton dot com because the times they
Speaker 3: are a change. In Shannon, you.
Speaker 2: Said the seasons are a change. I don't think. Bob
Speaker 2: Dylan said that the seasons are a changing. He said
Speaker 2: times are a changing. Well, he also said seasons are
Speaker 2: a changing. The remix for or refinance transactions.
Speaker 3: Be aware that refinancing your existing loan, your total finance
Speaker 3: charges may be higher over the life of your loan.
Speaker 3: In MLS A two five nine equhalthy Lender, MLS Consumer
Speaker 3: Access dot Org'll right back, RYANDU and Shannon, I'll gonn
Speaker 3: take you to portraying.
Speaker 2: Or seasons.
Speaker 3: See I see that.
Speaker 2: I heard that.
Speaker 3: I don't even say the seasons are a change. And
Speaker 3: did you guys see the movie.
Speaker 4: I'm on my sixth watch of it. And by that
Speaker 4: I mean I turn it on, I fall asleep in
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes, and the next night I go back to it,
Speaker 4: and I fall asleep in fifteen minutes. I'm about halfway
Speaker 4: through it across a week of trying.
Speaker 2: That's about story for every movie. I can't I've got
Speaker 2: to the age, or maybe not the age I've been
Speaker 2: doing this for a long time. You know, sit there
Speaker 2: at night, try to watch a movie. I'm out first
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes. I've started probably a million movies and got it.
Speaker 3: It's good, though you guys try to fight fight through
Speaker 3: it because it really gets good.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 4: I love it because the area it's in, as we're
Speaker 4: always going New York and stay like, even though it's dated,
Speaker 4: I recognize a lot of the places. The only reason
Speaker 4: I really wanted to watch it was to just see
Speaker 4: that part of New York back in the day. But
Speaker 4: I do this with all shows, all movies. I'll wait
Speaker 4: until way too late start them. It'll be midnight and
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, i'll watch a movie at midnight. So
Speaker 4: give me another week and i'll finish the back half
Speaker 4: of it. It's good so far, though I haven't enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: We do need to mention that Kenny Brooks has added
Speaker 3: a new player to his rocks. Looks like maybe the
Speaker 3: heir apparent to Georgia Amore at point Guard. Tony Morgan
Speaker 3: transferred from Georgia Tech. She was an All ACC player
Speaker 3: the last two years, so she's a player, and I
Speaker 3: guess she's got to fill some big shoes. If she's
Speaker 3: gonna be the point guard for Georgia.
Speaker 4: She certainly does big get for Kenny two time all ACC.
Speaker 4: You know, it's hard to compare anyone to George after
Speaker 4: what she did and going six the other night, but
Speaker 4: this does look like to be the point of the
Speaker 4: future point guard of Kentucky women's basketball going back and
Speaker 4: get another one out of the ACC. So that's a

Speaker 6: you guys may feel differently, but I'm just sick of
Speaker 6: this stuff and Scooper scuttle button, Brian, Uh, I don't
Speaker 6: know if this is true. If y'all look it up,

Speaker 3: appreciate it. Yeah, you know, Matt, Matt said for a year,

Speaker 3: getting this and that not even close to what they're
Speaker 3: really actually getting. Two hundred millions a little out there.

Speaker 4: as you were.
Speaker 3: You said, he said the NCAA is stupid.
Speaker 4: They oh yeah, no, I was gonna add to that.
Speaker 4: I completely agree with you. They had years, years to
Speaker 4: get a system a place that was fair, and they
Speaker 4: ignored it because they're all greedy. They wanted the players
Speaker 4: to have zero and here's your free apple in your textbook.
Speaker 4: They could have gotten way out in front of this
Speaker 4: and put a system in place that everyone had to
Speaker 4: abide by, but they waited way too late and just
Speaker 4: all hell broke loose and that's where we are now.
Speaker 4: In course you're having to get involved, but the n
Speaker 4: CUAA dropped the ball on this a long time ago.
Speaker 4: This is all on them.
