Speaker 2: I'm just gonna start with the Masters. We do have

55
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: a few news pieces to go before we get to

56
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: our football breakdown. But I did my annual tradition of

57
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: waking up way too early to be in my seat

58
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: an hour ahead of the seven thirty am start time

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: this morning to watch everything down at Augusta National on that.

60
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 2: By the way, some people called me out yesterday. I

61
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: didn't know I did it, but I went back and listened.

62
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: I was saying Augusta. I guess I turned on my

63
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: redneck there for a little bit. So Augusta National not

64
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 2: all Augusta as I was saying yesterday. But I woke

65
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: up this morning to watch the honorary the what do

66
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: you call him? Starters? Honorary starters? Correct, it's up early.

67
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: My guy Fred Ridley, he welcomed us all to the tournament,

68
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: the best tournament in golf. Had my guy Gary Player,

69
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: Jack Nickols, and Tom Watson start off. They always hit

70
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: the three t's to get things started. And were you

71
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: up early? Did you watch it or were you preparing

72
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: for our show today?

73
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: I was up early, but I didn't get eyes on

74
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: the honorary start this year. Unfortunately. It's one of my

75
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: favorite parts of this weekend is watching that.

76
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: Typically, well, I mean, just for three guys hitting a

77
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: golf shot into the fairway and then walking away, it

78
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: shouldn't be that exciting. But this morning, I gotta tell you,

79
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: I was pretty impressed by Gary Player eighty nine years old.

80
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: You know, he hits a good drive. They all do.

81
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: They still got it. But my man at eighty nine

82
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: high kick where his foot was at like eye level.

83
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: I tweeted a photo of it. I'm not even half

84
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: of his age and I can't do anything like that.

85
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: I mean, truly remarkable athleticism by the eighty nine year

86
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: old Gary Player. And then Jack followed him, and this

87
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: bro my heart. Jack could barely get the tea in

88
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: the ground and I was nervous, thinking like is he

89
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: gonna fall over? I mean, it was bad. He even

90
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: said I don't know if I can do this, and

91
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: there was like an awkward silence. It took him a minute,

92
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: but that part of the morning actually hurt me a

93
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: little bit. He did get it, he did get it

94
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: teed up, but it was it was touch and go

95
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: there for a second. That would have really killed the

96
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: vibe to start the Masters if Jack Nicholas, a legend,

97
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: couldn't have even gotten the ball on the team right.

98
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: And it like what's the What's the Master's without Jack?

99
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: Right?

100
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 3: Like that's he's the iconic figure of the event, and

101
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: so yeah, I could definitely see why you well you

102
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: had that, But Gary Player has got us cover.

103
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: He'll be here a thirty years.

104
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: Gary's gonna help Gary kicks until twenty fifty two. Gary

105
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: player is gonna out last gym Nance.

106
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: Oh of course, Jim. Jim's almost retired, only eleven years

107
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: to go. Jack hit it well. I don't want I'm

108
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: not here to just you know, Jack still got it.

109
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: But the act of bending over again the tea in

110
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: the ground. Next year, maybe let's go ahead and have

111
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: the ball teed up for all three of them.

112
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

113
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: Tom Watson also hit it good and then they were off.

114
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: We're watching it here at KOs Bar where we have

115
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: Master's specials. Come get your uh your sampler that Monique

116
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: works so hard on to copycat the guy to Pimento cheese,

117
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: egg salad sandwich and the pork sandwich. We've got holes four, five,

118
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: and six streaming on the broadcast. Since it's not on

119
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: TV yet, we're going through Masters dot Com onto the

120
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: big TV. Got that going on. We won't I know,

121
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: not everyone loves golf, so we won't do two hours

122
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: of talking about golf. But Adam and I are both excited.

123
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: I got my Amen Corner T shirt on, got a

124
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: Master's hat. As you said, it's just one of the

125
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: best times of the year. You were there last year, right,

126
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 2: I was there last year. Speaking of that, Billy is

127
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: going to join us in the second hour. Billy has

128
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: also been We both have a few Master's memories. Last year, especially,

129
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: it was kind of awkward for both of us as

130
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: some UK basketball news hit while I was on the

131
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: golf course without a phone and Billy had to fill in.

132
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: But we'll break that down later. For now, let's get

133
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: to a little bit of the news. We've started with

134
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: basketball every show. It's been so newsy this week, so

135
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: I'll stick with that. We're finally gonna get a visit

136
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: from from Wilkerson. The Sam Houston transfer dead period today

137
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: so we can't visit yet, but after today it's looking

138
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: like he will come and visit. Lexington R. Pope is

139
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: considering him to fill that shooter spot. As we went

140
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: over a couple times already this week. Average twenty and

141
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: a half points, four rebounds, two assists on forty seven

142
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: point seven percent from three. That's that's pretty good. Yeah,

143
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: excuse me, no, forty four point five. Got my numbers.

144
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: They're forty seven point seven from the field, forty four

145
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: point five from three, made nearly ninety threes at that clip.

146
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: You know, we were kind of yats. It was looking

147
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: like might work with him from USC. That's kind of

148
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: gotten a little more in Washington's direction. But Wilson's gonna

149
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: come to campus and that's that's big as the mark.

150
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: Pope's looking to fill that shooting role.

151
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a two time All USA performer seventeen

152
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: to twenty plus point games last year. Just can really

153
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 3: fill it up. And he's got size six five two guard.

154
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: I think you kind of look at what Kentucky's looking

155
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 3: for size athleticism plus the shooting. I think he checks

156
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: a lot of boxes. There was a lot of Indiana

157
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: buzz with him. Yeah, so there's a chance for Kentucky

158
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: pull one over on the Hoosiers with their new coach

159
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: Darren de Bryes and of course Indiane. But don't think

160
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: they come to up next year.

161
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,239
Speaker 2: Do Yeah? We don't want to play against this guy.

162
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: I gotta lock him up. He's also looking at Auburn

163
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: and Old Miss. You know, Bruce Pearl just being desperate

164
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: down there, trying to call everyone we're calling. We already

165
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: took Jaden Quaintans out of Bruce's hands. He thought he

166
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: could pull that one off, but good chance to add

167
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: maybe not the final piece, but maybe the most important

168
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: piece of shooting there with Wilkerson. You're known as the

169
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: football guy. But you know you know it all mentioned

170
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: this yesterday, Ky, Sorry, you gotta know everything. Just at

171
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: any moment you could. You could get a text, hey

172
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: can you post this? And you gotta be knowledgeable? Uh

173
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: what did we haven't had you on? What are your

174
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: thoughts of how the portaling has gone so far for

175
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: Kentucky and how the roster's shaping up?

176
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was.

177
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: Obviously there was a slow start and you felt like

178
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: they missed on some guys. It felt like the DIT

179
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: and losing Donovan did it felt like a big one,

180
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: you know. So they pivot to Jalen Lowe. But ever

181
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 3: since then, I think you have to really be a

182
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: fan of the process and where they're at. I think obviously,

183
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: like the Quaintance development, I have some issues or not issues,

184
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: but worries about just how healthy is he gonna be?

185
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: But if he's healthy, he's one of them. He could

186
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: be an All American. I think next year, I think

187
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 3: Diabante kind of fits what they want to do or

188
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: what they're looking for, and I think Wilkerson really all

189
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: three of these guys are kind of in on the

190
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: two guard. Wilkerson, Wesley Yates, which is kind of trending

191
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: in the other direction, and then Drawn Druan Pierre Junior.

192
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: I believe all of those guys they have size of

193
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: two guard and they can all shoot it, and so

194
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: that's kind of what they need that they they want

195
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: more athleticism, they want more size, want more links, but

196
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: they can't.

197
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: You gotta have the shooting as well.

198
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: And I think it's really important to get a knockdown

199
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: shooter at the two and I think they have some

200
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: good options.

201
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love for it to be. Wilkerson also yesterday

202
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 2: on three put a prediction in our got Pete, he said,

203
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: calling my shot. The confidence level was listed as low,

204
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: but he at least put a prediction in for Alvaro Foguerrez.

205
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: I believe we're saying it El l Popo. I think

206
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: I learned yesterday.

207
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: Spain is what I'm calling the big the.

208
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: Big Spaniard, the big Tariff, That's what I'm calling him.

209
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 2: We got to get him from from across the pond.

210
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: I still don't know if he's over there or has

211
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: made it over here yet, but now is uh Kentucky's

212
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: adding the Wilkerson visit and the dead period ends today

213
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: where they couldn't visit. Maybe he's gonna speed that up.

214
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: But heck, I wonder is there a world where you

215
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: add Wilkerson and al Varo. I mean, I'm dreaming dreams

216
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: if they're able to pull that off.

217
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

218
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 3: I think al Varro is kind of the Andrew Carr

219
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: replacement four, who can shoot a little bit, who can pass,

220
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: give you some rebounding shop blocking, but mainly gonna with

221
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 3: his offensive versatility, can post, can step out, hit threes,

222
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: and can play some five for you in a pinch

223
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: if you need it. And so that I think would

224
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: be a big one. I think, you know what's going

225
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 3: on with Brandon Gayarrison, that's something we're gonna have to

226
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: figure out. I think that's everyone kind of waiting on that.

227
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: That feels like the next Domino, figuring out what happens there.

228
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 3: And then Alvarro is out there and he's been linked

229
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: to Kentucky. Really seems like since the beginning there.

230
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: Is Brandon Garrison online speculation. This is not Drew Franklin

231
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: ks are reporting this, but the internet went wild because

232
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: you know, we freak out on social media. I guess

233
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: he changed his his bio on Instagram and it doesn't

234
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: say Kentucky. I don't. I mean, I guess that could

235
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: be an indicator. I'm sure he is reconsidering his position

236
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: with Kentucky after they added acquaintance. I mean, if I'm Garrison,

237
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: I would also say, hold on, what's going on? Wait

238
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: a minute. But last night there was a lot of

239
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: speculation about his social media profile changing. So I guess

240
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: that is one thing we'll have to watch.

241
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: As a man who dabbles in high school football recruiting,

242
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: I would not put too much stock into what's going

243
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: on on some of these social accounts, whether ig, Facebook, TikTok.

244
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: Maybe the man just wanted to change his profile.

245
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, who knows, But yeah, you feel like it feels

246
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: like maybe some smoke with everything else when you kind

247
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: of add all the pieces together.

248
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 4: But we'll just have to wait and see.

249
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: And it would make sense if he wanted to reconsider.

250
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: I hope he stays. You know, I wanted him to

251
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: go shopping in the portal at that spot. I don't

252
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: know if he can be the guy because if he

253
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: doesn't take the next jump, I don't know if you're

254
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: championship level. If that you're starting five. But I would

255
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: still like to have Brandon Garrison on the team. Nothing else,

256
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: just when we play Oklahoma. He's gotta let him know.

257
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 2: Again he's got wave at somebody.

258
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: Well the law. I mean, he embraced the rivalry.

259
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 2: That's right.

260
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: He's over there with Pat Kelsey mixing it up.

261
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: So from that aspect, yes, and again in the portal,

262
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: like there's not like if Brandon Garrison enters.

263
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: The portal, he'll be one of the top rank centers.

264
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: Of course, so I think that's something to keep in

265
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: mind too, Like if you're gonna lose a player, where

266
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: would he end up? If he enters the portal, He's

267
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: gonna get probably a good offer to go play somewhere.

268
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: Isn't he the one that was at Arkansas when he committed,

269
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: Like on his visit last year.

270
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 4: He was somewhere.

271
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: I can't remember where it was Arkansas.

272
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they pivoted from Osibor Or Great Ossibor ended up

273
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 3: at Washington vollowed as coach from Utah State and it

274
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: was kind of out of nowhere. And that's the thing

275
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: with Pope, he really does keep things button up, so

276
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: like reacting in real time, it's kind of hard because

277
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: you don't know really which direction they're leaning. I'd like

278
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: that all of these recruitments, it feels like.

279
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: Of course, Pope's been very good at keeping this quiet.

280
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: I think last year when they were I and Jeremy

281
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: roach and that leaked out and then they end up losing them,

282
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: I think he learned a lesson there, and he's keeping

283
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: those lips sill. Speaking of Pope, he was in Washington,

284
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 2: DC yesterday. We'll just pivot into that with a random

285
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: cast of characters. There was Mitch Barnhardt and then your

286
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: boy Josh Katis. I mean, did they just load up

287
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: the UK Athletics playing and head that way with Kenny Brooks. Yeah,

288
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: Kenny Brooks not a Kentucky person. But there is an

289
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: image of Pat Kelsey standing next to Mark Pope in Washington, DC.

290
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: We just need those two standing next to each other

291
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: as much as possible.

292
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 4: Some one bout Pat Kelsey a step stal geez, if

293
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 4: I'm man.

294
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 2: Out, if I'm Pat, I refuse to go anywhere near

295
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 2: Mark Pope. I don't even shake his hand before the

296
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: rivalry game, but they were up in DC. I guess

297
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: is this tied to the House settlement a little bit

298
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: up there campaigning for something.

299
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting the Wilkerson recruitment because what you're seeing

300
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: in this basketball portal like it moves slower last year.

301
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: But players are wanting to lock in deals before the

302
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: settlement's passed. Because once the settlement is passed, which is

303
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: looking like it will be next week as of right now,

304
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: it could change. You were not gonna be Basically, the

305
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 3: collectives are gonna have to go through a clearinghouse, which

306
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: Mitch Bonnhart's gonna be involved in, and you're gonna have

307
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 3: to fair mark right, So you're gonna have to prove

308
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: it's not pay for play like you're doing a serve

309
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: is kind of So it's gonna be harder to get

310
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 3: nil pay for play. Essentially deals pass, So a lot

311
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: of players are locking in deals right away to get

312
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 3: paid right now.

313
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: Now.

314
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: What they were there in DC for is once this

315
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: settlement gets past, the NCAA still wants help and they

316
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: want a bill pass that protects them from anti trust

317
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: lawsuits for this clear now, So then they're gonna set

318
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: up so That's what that was about. There they were

319
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 3: hobnobbing essentially with members of Congress and be like, we

320
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 3: need we really need your help and support on this.

321
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: And so that's what that essentially was about.

322
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: You and ralsh on eleven personnel have been Josh Kattis

323
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: fan since he got on campus. You call him the

324
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: ass kicker. I'm sure they just needed a student representative there,

325
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: But I did feel like that was a that was

326
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: kind of a surprising personality in that group heading up there,

327
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 2: that Josh Kattis joined the group. I assume maybe stoops.

328
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: You know, he's in the middle of spring ball. Maybe

329
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: he couldn't take off, so they had to send someone.

330
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 2: And do we know how Josh Kattis ended up there.

331
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: I love that he was tweeting or posting pictures from

332
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: the White House. Looked like he had a good time.

333
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: That is a great question, is Justicatus want to be

334
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 3: a politician? You see the next governor of Kentucky? Who knows?

335
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: Could he have been hired by dose? Who knows? But

336
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: a unique day yesterday with UK up in Washington, DC

337
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: trying to get things done. Is this house thing gets

338
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: to its seems like its final hour? The hearing was

339
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: on Monday, and they say by next week, we should

340
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: should know exactly what's going on.

341
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically they they came for six hours and basically

342
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: what that hearing was for. They had four hundred thousand,

343
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: four hundred thousand people involved in this law or the

344
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: class action lawsuit that was gonna get paid from the NCAA, Like,

345
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: there were six hundred objectors, and some of the objectors

346
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: came and kind of gave their reasons why they objected.

347
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: The judge was like, okay, and then she wants to

348
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 3: see kind of roster limits how they set that up.

349
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: So they have to go back and kind of work

350
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: on some things, but it's expected. She even said it's

351
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: a good settlement, like I want to pass this essentially

352
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: without saying that, but that's kind of what she said.

353
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: I've read a story about her just as seventy five

354
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: year old woman has it all in her hands.

355
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: Right, and she was the one on the obeyonon case

356
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: which kind of started all of this over a decade ago.

357
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 3: It's the same same judge in Oakland, and so the

358
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: guy expectation is that this is going to pass and

359
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: they can happen as early as next week.

360
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll unfold soon. We'll break it down when that happens,

361
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: but for now, we'll take a break here on KSR.

362
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: We'll start with the spring football talk after this, and

363
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: later in the show, we're gonna be joined by Todd

364
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: Bryant taking a break from spring practice over there to

365
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: chat with us. Be interesting to see what he has

366
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: to say about probably taking on a new leadership role.

367
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: Even though he's only a junior, he's already played a

368
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: lot of football for that team that's full of new faces.

369
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: So we look forward to hearing from him. It's Drew

370
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: Franklin with Adam Luckett. Billy will be joining us soon

371
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: to add to the master's conversation. We'll be right back.

372

Speaker 2: if you have any questions for the show. But a

381
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: couple of people this morning wanted to know if I've

382
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: opened my script, and I will just be very quick

383
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: and let you know. No, I have not.

384
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: What do we do it?

385
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm watching the Masters? What do you do it?

386
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 6: It's only a couple weeks away, isn't it.

387
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: It's two weeks from Friday costume fittings tomorrow, right after

390
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: Paris outfit on. I don't know what that entails, but

391
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: I'll be looking forward to it. Our guy Paul here

392
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: is holding up the flyer has my name on it.

393
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: Look at that. Look how official I'll look on that program.

394
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: This is gonna be the beginning of something special or

395
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: it's gonna be an absolute disaster. There's no in between.

396
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm excited for you. And we need Mario to

397

Speaker 6: come back so we can get some video.

398
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: No, we don't need video, please Mario. We're gonna it's

399
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: gonna be like Augusta National. No phones, We're gonna leave

400
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: your phones in your car. Just be there and enjoy

401
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: the moment. When I'm on stage absolutely bombing or becoming

402
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: the next few jackmen. Uh, let's talk a little football.

403
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: I know everyone's excited about Kentucky football. They've been going

404
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: for a couple weeks now. This upcoming Saturday, what we

405
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: call on it? Is it a spring showcase? Is that

406
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: officially what I'm supposed to say it is?

407
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 4: That is the official term?

408
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: All right? Well, ten am, This Saturday free and open

409
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: to the public. You can go watch Kentucky football. And

410
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it's like an open practice. I don't

411
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: know if that's what they're wanting to call it, but

412
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: you will be able to see the team in person.

413
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 2: Won't be televised or live stream. So if you want

414
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: to see the new team that has like thirty something

415
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: new pieces on it, get out there this Saturday. Do

416
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: we know a format?

417
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 4: Do we know?

418
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: Do we know anything?

419
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 3: Will you not specifically, But the assumption we're kind of

420
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 3: working with is that it's gonna be the same as

421
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 3: last year, which was essentially a practice, but they gave

422
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 3: you they had an extended eleven on eleven scrimmage, so

423
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: if you got in there late enough, it would just

424
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: feel like a normal spring game. But the first kind

425
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: of thirty minutes is stretching in individual drills, kind of

426
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: getting like what they do in the pre before it

427
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 3: get gotcha and then the game starts. It would be

428
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 3: kind of similar to that. It is what I'm what

429
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: kind of the working assumption, I think is probably what

430
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: we'll see.

431
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 4: It wasn't tackled the ground.

432
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: It was more kind of what football terms they call thudding,

433
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: which is just kind of like you go up and

434
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 3: hit somebody, but you don't complete the tackle.

435
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 4: And so that's what kind of we're working. Well, what

436
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 4: we'll see.

437
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: I'll be out there. It starts at ten am. It's

438
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: at Krogerfield. I don't think I said that. The said

439
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a few limitations as they're getting ready

440
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: for the Tyler Childers concert. I guess certain areas won't

441
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: be open, not that they need the whole place, but

442
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 2: it'll just be open seating. Like I said, doors open nine.

443
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: Get out there if you want to watch the Cats.

444
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 2: Weather should be good. You can go meet the new team,

445
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: which brings me to my first question for Adam. Looktt, Adam,

446
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: I pride myself I've been a Kentucky football fan going

447
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: way back. I've even said I like it a little

448
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: more than basketball. It's like fifty point five percent to

449
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: forty nine point five percent. I've just always loved UK football,

450
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: even in their worst years. I used to know the

451
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: three deep, the four deep, the five deep, I knew

452
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: the walk ons. I went to that media practice last

453
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: week with you all. I was only able to stay

454
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: about thirty minutes because I had to get to the show.

455
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: I didn't know anyone who that is out there, and

456
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: it was just fresh faces across the board. So I

457
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: kind of want to start with just who's on the team,

458
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: But let's start with at least the position that everyone

459
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: will be most focused on. I did get a look

460
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: at Zach Calzada, and what are we hearing about him

461
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: in camp? I know there's been conversations with him. Just

462
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: brush us up to speed on what's going on with him,

463
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 2: and then we'll just go through the whole roster and

464
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 2: what's ahead for the team.

465
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, first things first, I think there's gonna be a

466
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: lot of people that ask, like, who's gonna start at quarterback?

467
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 4: With Cutter Bowley.

468
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: Again, the working assumption is that Calzada will be the starter,

469
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 3: So he will be your starting quarterback this year. This

470
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: is a guy who will turn twenty five years old

471
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 3: in November. During the season, he will turn twenty five.

472
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: We got our own Chad Baker Maszari we do.

473
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 3: This is an old guy, older guy who's played a

474
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: lot of college football. It's played a lot of snaps

475
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: to kind of rap on the kind of rap on him.

476
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 3: He's more athletic than you think. He can do some

477
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 3: things running the football, but I would say it's mostly

478
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 3: gonna be kind of his like Levis type runs QB

479
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 3: power where he's getting downhill game yards that way, and

480
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: then in the pocket he's known for having a big arm,

481
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 3: can stretch the field vertically, but no one when to

482
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: like take some gas off the ball. It's kind of

483
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: something he's gonna have to work on. But he and

484
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: in carnate word, he showed that he can create kind

485
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 3: of make some plays with being an athlete, which is

486
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: something I think Kentucky like when they scouted him and

487
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 3: evaluated him. And so again he's a guy who's played

488
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: played quarterback in the SEC is one games in the SEC.

489
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 3: So he's a guy that in theory should bring a

490
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: much higher floor than what they've had in the past,

491
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: where there was kind of the big variant swings with

492
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 3: some of their starters at quarterback, and so that's what

493
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 3: they have in Calzata. And then I think they have

494
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 3: a backup that they probably feel the best about that

495
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 3: they've had and probably, I would say a long time

496
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 3: with Cutter.

497
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 2: You mentioned Kalsada being twenty five. This is his seventh

498
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: year of football.

499
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 3: That is correct, twenty nineteen high school graduate, Mercy. How

500
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 3: does that even happen?

501
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it was it Auburn. He missed part

502
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 2: of the year most of the year and was able

503
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 2: to get red shirt for that.

504
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 3: He got a medical red shirt for a season at Auburn.

505
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 2: Yes, and you know they'll call it an open competition.

506
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: You don't think Bully can push him at all. I'm

507
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 2: a big Bowley guy. I wanted him at Texas even

508
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: though it didn't go well. I thought he was putting

509
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 2: a bad situation at Florida. You mentioned it'll be a

510
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: great backup, But is there any chance he can he

511
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: can make a run at taking the job before fall

512
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: gets here.

513
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: I think the only situation where Bully becomes a starter

514
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: this year is if Calsuda gets hurt or if things

515
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: are not going well and they just need to make

516
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 3: a change. I think the plan all along with Cutter,

517
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 3: was to getting for two years and then starting year

518
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 3: three like that was the working blueprint, and I think

519
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: that's still that's still the plan moving forward.

520
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: How much will help Bush Hampden his second year. You know,

521
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 2: we coordinators don't come back very often around these parts.

522
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: Last year he was putting a little bit of a

523
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: bad spot. It was a very late addition when Liam

524
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: Cohen disappeared in the night to go to Florida. Do

525
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: you think we got some confidence in Hamden it'll be

526
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: up help out with Calzada, knowing that Bush at least

527
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: has a year behind him and in behind the eight

528
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 2: balls starting his time at.

529
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: UK this year right, Like, it's hard to kind of

530
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 3: have player continuity in this age, so many moving parts.

531
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 3: Kentucky specifically leaned in to a new having a new team,

532
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: but they're selling big the coach continuity. It's not just Hamden,

533
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: it's every coach is back except for the receiver coach.

534
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: So they believe that that's going to help them get

535
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: off to a faster start that and I think the

536
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 3: big thing for Hamden is he wasn't familiar with last

537
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 3: year's team. He got the hand pick this roster. Essentially

538
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 3: the entire roster. Quarterback, offensive lineman, receivers, tailback like these

539
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: are his players. So you have to hope that that

540
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: leads to better results. If it doesn't, they're going to

541
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: be in trouble.

542
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cohen built the plan last year, then left you

543
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: had Hampden and he had really no control of the roster.

544
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: I think he added Gavin Wimsy, but it was what

545
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: it was when he took over, so at least he's

546
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: in a better spot. We're in a better spot now

547
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: that Billy are Sports is here. Got your master's hat on.

548
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 6: Oh, it's just one of the best days of the year, Drew.

549
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 6: I know we're on the same page and even Adam too.

550
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 6: So I've got nothing played later today except sit on

551
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 6: the couch.

552
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: And watch them. Well, we'll share some memories we've both

553
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: been and we had a unique Monday last year. But

554
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: for right now, we'll take a quick break. It's Drew,

555
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 2: Adam Luckett and Billy Rutledge at ks Bar watching the

556
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 2: best tournament sports on TV. We'll be right back. Welcome

557
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: back to KSR. We're here on a Thursday April tenth.

558
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: People have noted that I haven't been given the date

559
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: or the weather like Matt does. I guess they want

560
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 2: some continuity with the show while he's gone. So, uh yeah, Thursday,

561
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: April tenth, and it looks like blue skies. Yep, we

562
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: go there, Billy. Is that is that how it works?

563
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 5: Sunshining?

564
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 6: I you know, I do the pre show before KSR

565
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 6: and I naturally have a routine to start the show

566
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 6: now and I find myself giving weather reports too.

567
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 5: I don't know what it is, but Matt does such

568
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 5: a good.

569
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 2: In our brains. Sorry, I didn't do it the first

570
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: three days. You mentioned how you're going home and just

571
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 2: watching the Masters. After this, my Master's Thursday's really been

572
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: thrown off. What's going on last weekend? Not only did

573
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: my AC go out, my dishwasher broke, I've got moles

574
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: tearing up my yard and my ice maker, my freezer broke.

575
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 2: I mean all at once. So when I go home,

576
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna have repair people everywhere. I'm gonna be

577
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: in the backyard with a shovel going at war with

578
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 2: these moles.

579
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 3: Uh.

580
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: You know, I want to sit on the couch, put

581
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 2: my feet up and listen to the fake birds and

582
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: look at the Azelias on TV, and I just have

583
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: an absolute war zone at home.

584
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 5: It sounds like a stressful weekend, Adam, don't it.

585
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 4: They say bad things happen in threes. I got for

586
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 4: Dree Frankly four.

587
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: Five and six. Yeah, I asked. I think I mentioned

588
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: this on Friday, maybe Monday about the mole problem. Yes,

589
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: that's it's not going away. Those little those little critters

590
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: are hard to catch.

591
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 6: Well, the advice was sound, at least what I heard.

592
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 6: You got to get one of those traps.

593
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: I have a trap.

594
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 6: I think that's going to work here because my dad

595
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 6: and I have fought the moles before, and it's it's

596
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 6: an ordeal.

597
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 5: There's no doubt.

598
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: Someone wrote me and said they live in eastern Kentucky.

599
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 2: I don't remember the exact part. And there's a ninety

600
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: five year old woman in their neighborhood that will just

601
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: get a shotgun and take care of moles. So if

602
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: the trap doesn't work and all my repair people can't

603
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 2: fix things, might have to call her up to come home.

604
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 5: Bring your shotgun.

605
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 4: I need the help, please.

606
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: Rick, let's knock out some phone calls. Who's Who's up first,

00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 3: had any scuttle to share with a good listeners case.

619
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I'm sorry. I couldn't hear your call very well.

620
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: I was trying to let you go there. I wasn't

621
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: just me. I guess we shared what we know. We're

622
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 2: just watching Wilkerson Hill. His visit be coming up soon.

623
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 2: He's looking at Indiana, Old Miss and Auburn. You'd love

624
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: to have him as the shooter you got. Al Varo

625
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: will eventually come over from Spain. I assume they will

626
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: get him on campus. I don't think that's been reported,

627
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: but on three is put in a not the not

628
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: the official prediction, but in a in a blog post,

629
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: wrote confidence level low, but calling my shot Kentucky. So

630
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: I'd say those two are the watch and then whatever

631
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 2: Brandon Garrison wants to do. If he wants to be

632
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: a part of this final four run next year, there's

633
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: a spot for him. But if he sees the writing

634
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 2: on the wall and once more minutes or can get

635
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: more opportunities somewhere else, maybe he goes. But I think

636
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: that's the current state of the roster.

637
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 6: You guys talked about the Instagram thing already, we did. Yeah,

638
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 6: I don't know how much that matters. I mean, these

639
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 6: kids today will change their social media profile for anything.

640
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 5: But do you want Brandon Garrison back.

641
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 3: I've learned for thirty somethings like me, it's not a

642
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 3: good practice to try to play the mind games with

643
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 3: social media with teenagers. No so, but I will point

644
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 3: out with Wilkerson, Joe Tipton has reported a visit is

645
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 3: expected this weekend. Okay, the dead period just ends today

646
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 3: Tomorrow's Friday, So Kentucky's gonna get one of those first visits. Typically,

647
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: these portal recruitments, they move fast. That's typically not a

648
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 3: bad thing. If you get one of the first visits

649
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 3: for Kentucky, you would hope you get him on campus

650
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 3: first and maybe you can wrap that up.

651
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 2: And then they've been in fact since the beginning, I

652
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 2: mean the dead period. You can still talk, you just

653
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: can't write in person.

654
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you cannot take visits in Pope can't go

655
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 3: to wherever Wilkerson's training are, where he's staying and talked

656
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 3: to him.

657
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 2: And Pope doesn't sleep, so he's probably been up at

658
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 2: like two am zooming this kid over in Spain. I

659
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: don't know how time zones work, but I'm I'm Pope's.

660
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: Pope's been in talks with him. It's the report on

661
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: the kid's always been that he before he does anything,

662
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: he wants to actually get to campuses, so that that'll

663
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 2: be big this weekend.

664
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 6: Well, what was he driving a stick in South America

665
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 6: last year trying to get to recruits? So I mean

666
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 6: I forgot about its exactly good.

667
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: Good call back there, Billy.

668
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

669
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phone line.

670
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 4: Rick got Alan up next.

671
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: Alan, thanks for calling in. Hey, I'm a wonderful we're

672
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: having a great time.

673
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 4: Good.

674
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 8: I had a question have you I don't know if

675
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 8: you mentioned it earlier this week, but have you heard

676
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 8: anything about Travis Perry. You haven't mentioned him in as

677
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 8: a contributor for next year, and I was just curious

678
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 8: to see if you knew it something that the fans

679
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 8: didn't have.

680
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: All Right, I appreciate the call. I uh, you know,

681
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 2: he's he's He and I are from the same dirt

682
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: as a Bloodsoe and cousins used to say, we're reaching

683
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: two guys. I know several Lion County people and when

684
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: I've asked them, they don't. They haven't heard of Peepe.

685
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 4: Really.

686
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 2: They just think he's gonna be right back on the team.

687
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 5: You know.

688
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: As far as being a contributor, I don't think he'll

689
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: have the Rollie did this year when half the team

690
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: got injured and he had to step in. I think,

691
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: you know, with Lowe coming in and pieces they've added,

692
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: he might slide down the bench a little bit. You

693
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: could still use him for shooting when called upon, But

694
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 2: as far as him actually leaving or hitting the portal,

695
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: at least the Lion County Lions, I know they haven't

696
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: heard anything around town or expect that. So as far

697
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: as I know, I expect Travis Perry to be on

698
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: the team. I don't know if you guys have any

699
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: expectations otherwise.

700
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we got a week left until the

701
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: portal closes. I believe it closes the sixteenth. That could

702
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 3: be wrong on that. Maybe it's in the week after,

703
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: maybe it's two weeks. So he's got a little bit

704
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: of time. I mean, I think the expectation would probably

705
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: be he has a role similar to what he had

706
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: this year.

707
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I don't think the expectation was for him

708
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 6: to play this much last year. I mean you had

709
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 6: Kirka get hurt, Lamont Butler hurt at times. I mean

710
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 6: he was really thrust it into a role that maybe

711
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 6: some didn't expect for him to be.

712
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 5: So I expect him to come back, And part of

713
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 5: it is that he hasn't entered into the transfer portal yet.

714
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: Right, And there's also gonna be more just year by

715
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: year player development that you're.

716
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 4: Gonna have with Pope that he just didn't have with

717
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 4: Cali Perry.

718
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: Not saying one is right or wrong, it's just a

719
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 3: different way to build your team. I mean ross constructing.

720
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 3: I think Travis Perry the plan for him always similar

721
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: to Cutter Bowley, I think was developing for a couple

722
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 3: of years and then when he's a junior, he can

723
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 3: be a real piece of your team.

724
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: He was just forced to be a real piece this

725
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 4: year when they probably wasn't really read.

726
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 3: It was probably maybe unfair to him to play him

727
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 3: as much as they did, but they had their handless

728
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: forced because of the injuries.

729
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pope's made it clear right away he's gonna be

730
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: big on retaining guys. He'll get a couple of freshmen

731
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: that are highly ranked, a couple of portal guys, and

732
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: try to keep the player players he has. And I'd

733
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 2: say Noah, Chandler and Perry are a big part of that.

734
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: Let's get back to football real quickly, like it, since

735
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: that's where your big brain operates. This Saturday Spring Showcase,

736
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: Let's say I'm a fan. I drove an hour from

737
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: from an hour away to be here. I'm excited. I'm

738
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: looking forward to this new team, but I'm like Drew

739
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: Franklin and I don't know the roster. Who are some

740
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: new pieces that people should be looking out for on

741
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: either side of the ball. Just someone you think could

742
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: be an impact contributor right away?

743
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 3: Kin trick Law Alabama receiver transfer number one. He's probably

744
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: gonna be Kentucky's leading receiver this year, so I definitely

745
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: get eyes on him. He's gonna be a guy they

746
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 3: want to feature, and he's gonna his usage is gonna

747
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 3: be similar I think to how they tried to use

748
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: Barry and Brown last year. Jet sweeps quick game screens

749
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 3: and then scheming up when to take vertical shots with him.

750
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 3: He's gonna be a big piece, so I would definitely

751
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: watch him. David gusta number sixty defensive tackle, is gonna

752
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: play some nose for them. He was a really big

753
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: win out of the portal Tennessee. Some other SEC squols

754
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: were involved, who was a high dollar player for them

755
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 3: to get. Was one of the best defensive tackles available

756
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 3: in the portal. They're gonna need him to be a

757
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 3: playmaker along with mcquee. Humphrey Race defensive end number fifty.

758
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 3: So those are two guys I would really watch on

759
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 3: defense law I think is kind of the big one.

760
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 3: And then just how they handle a running back. I

761
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a committee approach. Everyone knows Jamarian Wilcox.

762
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 3: They went and got Dante Daldell, got him to get

763
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: in the portal from Nebraska and landed him and then

764
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 3: Jason Patterson. It sounds like he's having a really good

765
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 3: spring practice a red shirt freshman till back. So those

766
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 3: were kind of like just watching those we all know

767
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: Kentucky wants to run the football outside of the obvious,

768
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: which I think is Calzada, and just how does the

769
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: offensive line look? Those are kind of a few peat

770
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: players I would watch in all of those those three guys.

771
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 3: I name, they're gonna need all of those guys to

772
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 3: be really good players for them this year to max

773
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: out to reach their potential.

774
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: You mentioned Law could be the leading receiver, but you know,

775
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: it was exciting to get Macklin back. Kind of quiet

776
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 2: first half of the year, turned it on late. What

777
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: are the expectations of him? I know last year he

778
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: kind of moved to the slot when he's more of

779
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: an outside vertical guy. Is uh getting back to his

780
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: natural position? Well he should. We expect a big year

781
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: out of him.

782
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

783
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: I think one thing you're going to see early in

784
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 3: this show case when levin on leven starts is we've

785
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: heard about Kalzak's arm strength and they brought Macklin back

786
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: to be kind of their vertical thread. I have a

787
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: feeling we're gonna see a vertical shot to Macklin from

788
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: Kalzada early in this this spring show case if you're

789
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 3: there at Kroger Field. But yeah, I think with Macklin,

790
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: they played him in the slot last year. Didn't really

791
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 3: have a spot for him because they were they had

792
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 3: to play a lot of tight ends because they couldn't block.

793
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: Some tight ends were needed to help block, and then

794
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 3: you had Dan Keen, Barry and Brown. There wasn't a

795
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: lot of snaps for him, and this slight kind of

796
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 3: experiment didn't work. I think Liam Collen kind of targeted

797
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 3: him to play slight in his offense and they kind

798
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 3: of kept that plan. It just didn't work. But Macklin

799
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: played outside receiver at North Texas. He had his best

800
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: year was one thousand yard receiver, was one of the

801
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: best deep ball receivers in college football.

802
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 4: And we saw some of that.

803
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: Later in the year against Louisville, against Tennessee, against Texas

804
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: him kind of making vertical plays down the field. That's

805
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: gonna kind of be I think the plan for him

806
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 3: this year is to play him outside and maybe not

807
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: give him a ton of targets when we're going to him.

808
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 3: We're throwing it deep and he's gonna be kind of

809
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 3: their big play target on the outside.

810
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: It's still only two names, say you know, we're reading reports.

811
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: You and Raush have talked about it. They're little fin

812
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: in the receiver room. Any other names. I guess the

813
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 2: DJ Miller turned heads into practice.

814
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 3: DJ Miller was a big recruiting win for them. Lane

815
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 3: Kiffin o Miss really wanted him. He's only a true

816
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 3: freshman now, but he's got long term potential. I would

817
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 3: say he's gonna be a guy I think that plays

818
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: in a rotational role, like he's kind of this year's

819
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 3: Harley Gilmore, Like you know how they've kind of slowly

820
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 3: put Gilmour in there. I think that's gonna be the

821
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 3: plan for Miller and then for him maybe to be

822
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 3: a starter next year. I don't know how big of

823
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: a role he's gonna play. They got a choice do

824
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 3: Lotto from Clemson to play a role, but he sounds

825
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: like he's been banged up a little bit. They got

826
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 3: a JJ Hester from Oklahoma to kind of be the

827
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 3: vertical threat. He missed that open practice through we were at.

828
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: He's played a lot of football. He was at Oklahoma

829
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: for like three years in Missouri for two.

830
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was two two tour two at

831
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: Oklahoma and then True True Edwards was really the big

832
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 3: one that they haven't gotten cleared yet because he's got

833
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 3: the Diego Pavia extra year of eligibility college. He's similar

834
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 3: to Calsada like he's gonna be twenty four to twenty

835
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: five next year. He with Kendrick Claw I think would

836
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 3: be there. That would be their top two receivers if

837
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 3: they can get him. But he's not gonna be out

838
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 3: there for the spring game. But that's an important storyline

839
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 3: to watch because he's gonna be a guy I think

840
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: potentially can be one of their top top receivers and

841
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 3: can be kind of a go to guy for Calzada

842
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 3: or Bowlie who whoever is that quarterback.

843
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: I was excited about True Edwards when he committed in December,

844
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 2: January whatever it was looking at his highlight DAPE. That's

845
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 2: a playmaker and it was pretty bummed to see that

846
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: he wasn't already on campus. I guess he did the

847
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: pro day down there in Louisiana, but they're still trying

848
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 2: to get everything cleared. As you said to yeah, get

849
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 2: him another year and get him on campus.

850
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: I think the expectation is he's going to get clear

851
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 3: because he fits just the language that they've released it

852
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 3: to this point, the NCAA about who would be because

853
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 3: you had to you had to play JUCO in a

854
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: certain year, and it couldn't just be the COVID year.

855
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 3: But he he played, he'd spent twenty twenty and twenty one,

856
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 3: I believe, or twenty nineteen and twenty twenty in JUCO,

857
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 3: so he should qualify. So I think the expectation they

858
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 3: will get him. But it's one of those things where

859
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: they have to get this house settlement through and then

860
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: that that ruling will come. But the expectation for all

861
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 3: these teams is that these junior college guys are gonna

862
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 3: be able to get cleared in Edwards fits the criteria

863
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 3: for that BILLI.

864
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 6: You're writing all those down fill the quickly realizing how

865
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 6: little I know about.

866
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 5: The team this year. But I do want to ask you.

867
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 6: I mean, discipline and culture were huge talking points after

868
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 6: the season last year. Have you noticed any changes? Is

869
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 6: there any difference that we could tell on the field

870
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 6: on Saturday? Should I look for Willcox to have his

871
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 6: shoes tied or what like have you sense to change.

872
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: Well, there was a lot of talk or scuttle or

873
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 3: talk about how maybe some players got away with not practicing.

874
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 3: In just using this as example, they haven't maxed out

875
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 3: the practices in the spring in the last couple of years,

876
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: like they called they were closing up shop at eleven, twelve, thirteen,

877
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 3: they went the whole spring they're gonna take they did

878
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: all fifteen practice. Yeah, so that like just using that,

879
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 3: that's a sample that they're maybe taking it more seriously

880
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 3: over there. Mark Stoops has talked multiple times about how

881
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: they changed the off season training program. And so to

882
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: answer your question, it's too early to tell, like for

883
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 3: where we sit, but they're saying the right things and

884
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 3: they're doing things differently, like like the spring practice. Just

885
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 3: using that, that's clear like change of we're gonna do

886
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: things a little bit differently, and so we'll see how

887
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 3: all that plays out. But they again they've got to

888
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 3: really hand pick this roster in a lot of ways.

889
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 3: They got to go out and pick guys that they

890
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 3: thought fit for them. And so we'll see if that

891
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: if that's able to help them flip kind of that

892
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: you're talking about, just like the culture and the standard

893
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 3: and how we operate day to day, and we'll see

894
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: if how what when once the games start, we'll get

895
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 3: our answers, But so far that it seems like they're

896
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 3: doing things differently, and we'll see if it works well.

897
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 2: We got Todd Bryant coming up at eleven. I'm gonna

898
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: ask him about the discipline and the culture and how

899
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 2: things have changed behind the scenes. He was one of

900
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: the players that didn't shy away from mentioning it. It

901
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: had slipped at the end of last year. So I'm

902
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: sure we'll get them on record saying how it's actually

903
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 2: going over there. Someone who's actually living it right now

904
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: will have those answers, But for right now, we'll take

905
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: a quick break. I see my guy Steven Jaeger at

906
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 2: two under just climbing that leaderboard. Love me some Steve

907
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,400

946
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 3: Like I've been to the players, and I've heard stories

947
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 3: about the PGA say, people like to have a good time.

948
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 2: People do like to have a good time, get a.

949
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 3: Little maybe someone what one would call under overserved. Now

950
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 3: at the Masters, do you it's like a classy Oh yeah.

951
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 6: So you don't want to miss and if they are,

952
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 6: they're escorted out.

953
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 4: So that so that that does happen.

954
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, there's a decorum to it all, don't you think, Drew.

955
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 6: I mean, there's a lot of cigar puffing going around,

956
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,959
Speaker 6: but there's no like teenagers getting routed or anything like that.

957
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: Well, I'm someone that likes to party, I've been known

958
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: to put away a few beers, and they're very cheap there.

959
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: But when you're at the Masters, you're dialed in, you're focused,

960
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: you're just appreciating everything around you. I might have a few.

961
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: In fact, I went to a practice round two years

962
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 2: with my dad. It's one of my favorite moments ever.

963
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: The players were done at Amen Corners. The last group

964
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: went by and they had a little beer shack there

965
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 2: and my dad ran a golf course for many years,

966
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: so we just watched the ground screw get Amen Corner

967
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: ready for the next day and we just sat there

968
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 2: drinking two dollar beers. We were the only two people

969
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: over there, and it was one of the coolest things ever.

970
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: So sure you partake, but it is nowhere near the

971
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 2: players where everybody's getting black out and routing. You see

972
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 2: people passing out. This is a classy environment.

973
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 4: Look, so you're telling me that if you wu that's

974
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 4: frowned upon.

975
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 2: If security didn't get to you, the person next to

976
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: you and will beat you. Boy.

977
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 6: So like, let's say this, like if you screamed mashed

978
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 6: potatoes after somebody hits a shot, they would come over

979
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 6: and talk to you.

980
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: Like the gallery will handle you first, I think.

981
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, you will get the the looks. I mean, it's

982
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 6: more like polite clapping after Drew is on Romeo and

983
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 6: Juliet is what you should expect.

984
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 2: We're just gonna keep with the Romeo and Juliette di exactly.

985
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 5: I mean, well, it's not a dig. I mean, I'm

986
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 5: excited for the script reading tomorrow.

987
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 2: I'll practice it. I might do we were talking during

988
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 2: the break, I might do a couple of different voices.

989
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 2: Test them out on the KSR audience tomorrow. We'll decide

990
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 2: which one I use for the play I mentioned Steve Yeager.

991
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 2: I will tell my story real quick. I threw friend

992
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 2: of a friend, ended up at a bachelor party with him,

993
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 2: and there was this big beach house where we were

994
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: all staying. Most of the guys were pro golfers, so

995
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 2: I did not participate in many of the games. But

996
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: he dropped a golf ball on the hardwood kitchen floor,

997
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 2: took a range finder and pretended to like, look at

998
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 2: a guy in the kayak and a kayak out on

999
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 2: the ocean. He opens the kitchen door the back door

1000
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 2: to go outside. There is just glass everywhere, and we're like, oh,

1001
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 2: I don't think we should be doing this. I don't

1002
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 2: think we should be doing this. And he takes a

1003
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: full swing off the kitchen floor hits a golf ball

1004
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 2: out on the beach. It was one of the coolest

1005
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 2: things I've ever seen. Golf Channel I tweeted the video

1006
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: back then, Golf Channel even even shared it. But remarkable

1007
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 2: golf shots. So as you're watching him in at Augusta today,

1008
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 2: just know he could also hit it off your kitchen

1009
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 2: floor if needed.

1010
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 5: Was he challenged or did he just decide, Well, you know, just.

1011
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: Guys being dudes and getting a little bored, and when

1012
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: they're all pro golfers, they gotta they gotta show off

1013
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 2: their skills. But pretty impressive and he's a he's a

1014
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 2: nice guy. So even though he's he's not an American,

1015
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 2: we still like him. He might be against us in

1016
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 2: the Ryder Cup, but we're rooting for Steven right now,

1017
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: Stefan if you want to call him, and he's I

00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,520

1025
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 3: one group has made the turn at this point.

1026
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 2: It's very early in the day for us. I have
