Speaker 4: e Town, Somerset, Scott County, all here today for my
Speaker 4: first show back. And you are honoring the Pope. It
Speaker 4: looks like yeah, but we didn't get to talk about
Speaker 4: that yesterday. I didn't expect to start with someone dying.
Speaker 4: But rest in peace to the Pope who passed away
Speaker 4: at eighty eight. And you're wearing a Pope T shirt.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jack's given the teas made these T shirts where
Speaker 6: father Jim.
Speaker 4: Sico.
Speaker 6: Sico presented a Pope jersey to the Pope, and so
Speaker 6: they made a T shirt that I think that it
Speaker 6: was one of the coolest pictures I've seen, kind of
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 4: Alright, so you just you're you're wearing it out.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So Pope passes away, which is very sad eighty
Speaker 4: eight years old. You know, I don't have a pope
Speaker 4: ranking system, uh, because I don't. I don't know a
Speaker 4: lot of the popes. I remember when I was a kid,
Speaker 4: it was Pope John Paul the second. Oh, it felt
Speaker 4: like he was Pope for a long long time. And
Speaker 4: then wasn't there somebody else before this one? It was
Speaker 4: there was a short guy and they're not very long. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he didn't stay very long. And then they've had this
Speaker 4: one for a while. Seems like a good fella, very compassionate.
Speaker 4: But he died right after jd Vance talked to it. Yes,
Speaker 4: like jd Vance sees him. He talk about a KSR curse.
Speaker 4: Jd Vance curse. He dies like right after it. And
Speaker 4: now we get a conclave, which we've seen the movie
Speaker 4: and we know what happens.
Speaker 6: All the politic and that goes on. The conclaves starting
Speaker 6: already that all the cardinals got to go excited and
Speaker 6: they started. I think they're all arriving. They're not all
Speaker 6: there yet.
Speaker 4: So they come for the funeral and then does the
Speaker 4: conclave start right after? So what happens in the end,
Speaker 4: What if they need a pope in the interim.
Speaker 6: I'll probably have assistant pope.
Speaker 4: Pope Ivice Pope. You think there's an assistant pope.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, got Andrew Haig that stands up and says,
Speaker 6: I now I'm in charge.
Speaker 4: Andrew what Haig?
Speaker 6: Haig?
Speaker 4: Are you talking about that dude? During when Reagan was president?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's again.
Speaker 4: How do you know things like literally I asked you
Speaker 4: yesterday one through five and you said seven, and now
Speaker 4: you're mentioning. And I don't even think his name was
Speaker 4: Andrew Haig.
Speaker 6: Was Alexander Alexander Hag For people.
Speaker 4: Who don't remember, like President Reagan got shot and George
Speaker 4: Bush was like out of the country or something, and
Speaker 4: I think it was Alexander. He stood up and go
Speaker 4: I'm the president and he wasn't. He wasn't, and everybody
Speaker 4: was like, hey, dude, chill, you're not the president.
Speaker 6: But they got they got one of the cardinals back
Speaker 6: there probably doing that right now. I am in charge
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 4: So have you seen did you say?
Speaker 5: Just well, I watched it during the Final four. I
Speaker 5: saw I watched it recently. During the final Well, I
Speaker 5: mentioned this for You're God, but Duke was up so big.
Speaker 5: I turned on Conquer then switched to bat you like
Speaker 5: I did, uh rp to the pope. But I would
Speaker 5: actually like to be locked in with all the boys,
Speaker 5: like voting for something like we can't leave. We're all
Speaker 5: in there together till we you know, whatever we're deciding.
Speaker 5: I think that would be kind of fun.
Speaker 4: They already have odds online, Shannon. You can you can
Speaker 4: bet on which seems which seems to me to be
Speaker 4: I'm not Catholic, but it seems to be sacrilegious if
Speaker 4: you're betting on who's going to be the pope. First
Speaker 4: of all, how would you know, Like, like who out
Speaker 4: there has been studying the draft tape of all the cardinals.
Speaker 6: They got a plan, I got somebody.
Speaker 4: They're gonna have a combine where they all sit there
Speaker 4: and go all right, let me see your prayer time.
Speaker 7: Should we do a fade this and make our pick
Speaker 7: of the crown is literally literally, the crown will be
Speaker 7: yours on DraftKings.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 4: Well, I didn't expect to start with the pope today,
Speaker 4: but all right, Pete of the Pope. I like this Pope,
Speaker 4: and good luck to whoever. By the way, you get
Speaker 4: to choose your name too. Yes, it's choosing because his
Speaker 4: name was not Francis. He chose it. So the new
Speaker 4: one gets to just choose their name, which is kind
Speaker 4: of exciting. It is kind of like like you didn't
Speaker 4: like the name you got.
Speaker 6: Change it would if you were matt Well.
Speaker 4: I mean you need people from the Bible, right, so
Speaker 4: I'd be h Well, I mean matt Matthew, Matthew. I
Speaker 4: think i'd be Pope, Pope Matthew. I just be like
Speaker 4: what I got was good, Pope Andrew. It's pretty easy. Yeah,
Speaker 4: what did you Ryan? There's no Ryan.
Speaker 6: Chet Pope Chad rack Mesa could have been to go
Speaker 6: would be good for.
Speaker 4: You, dude, Dude, Shannon, the pope. The Pope is a
Speaker 4: good one. All right. So let's get back to non
Speaker 4: pope related talk. Yesterday, as soon as we got off
Speaker 4: the show, Kentucky right after the show gets Denzel Aberdeen. Uh,
Speaker 4: he commits from Florida. He was the sixth man on
Speaker 4: their team last year, one of those you know, they
Speaker 4: had like four great guards and he was one of them. Uh,
Speaker 4: when he he averaged I think, what what I mean,
Speaker 4: what do you have for the year like pint seven?
Speaker 4: But when he started he had some games he started,
Speaker 4: he averaged fourteen in those games. So, uh, he is
Speaker 4: not your classic like definite three point shooter, which was
Speaker 4: kind of what I thought they would get. But he
Speaker 4: is a guy who can shoot, get to the basket.
Speaker 4: Really good defender. I think could end up being like
Speaker 4: our quote unquote lockdown defender when they want to guard
Speaker 4: somebody on the outside, you know. Surprising leaves the national
Speaker 4: championship team where people thought he would start to stay
Speaker 4: in conference. Florida fans are mad, like when we go
Speaker 4: down to Swamp if we I think we go there
Speaker 4: next year, he's gonna get booed out of the gym.
Speaker 4: But a great pickup. And reports are UK basketball Drew
Speaker 4: is now done with recruiting. I haven't gotten the call
Speaker 4: saying Pope's ready to come on yet, so I'm not
Speaker 4: gonna confirm, but still yet maybe done.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it seems they're they're done with the portal. I
Speaker 5: guess there's a high school player they're still considering for,
Speaker 5: but that would be like.
Speaker 4: It's a developmental guy, He's like, he's Han's from Beckley,
Speaker 4: West Virginia, which you may remember is Sex Town. Uh
Speaker 4: from my friends, what are you looking at me? I've
Speaker 4: told the story one hundred you meet up, Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: where they would meet up with his girlfriend. But anyway,
Speaker 4: you like, you like the Denzel Aberdeen pick up.
Speaker 5: I like the addition because he can He backed up
Speaker 5: Walter Clayton at point guard, so we can do some
Speaker 5: ball handling behind Jayalen Lowe really good defensively. I did
Speaker 5: a big thorough breakdown of all his stats yesterday, as
Speaker 5: you mentioned, when he actually started, because they were very
Speaker 5: crowded with Elijah Martin, Walter Clayte. He wasn't taken their minutes,
Speaker 5: but he shot forty one percent from three and had
Speaker 5: fifteen points a game in the five sec starts. But
Speaker 5: my favorite part of anything is Florida fans didn't want
Speaker 5: to lose him. It seems a lot of them on
Speaker 5: Twitter very angry. I got on their message boards this.
Speaker 5: They're not just mad at him for going across conference.
Speaker 5: They genuinely wanted him to be a big piece next season,
Speaker 5: so they're Uh. The fact that it hurt them tells
Speaker 5: me what A kind of important.
Speaker 4: Point it see to me, is he probably was going
Speaker 4: to start for Florida coming off a national title, and
Speaker 4: I'm not sure he's going to start here, right. I
Speaker 4: think he might be the sixth man here because I
Speaker 4: Jalen Low is gonna start at point guard and always
Speaker 4: gonna play, and I just can't imagine that Jasper Johnson
Speaker 4: came here not to start, So I kind of think
Speaker 4: he's coming here to be the sixth man when he
Speaker 4: might have started at Florida. Which gets me the second point,
Speaker 4: which is Jeff Goodman says Kentucky has spent more money
Speaker 4: on their roster than any team in the country, over
Speaker 4: ten million dollars. Thinks we're gonna end up with the
Speaker 4: highest NIL payroll. Now, of course you can never confirm that,
Speaker 4: but I think that surprised some people. Are you so,
Speaker 4: first of all, do you like the Aberdeen pickup? And
Speaker 4: then are you surprised we might have the biggest nil?
Speaker 6: I really like the Aberdeen pickup. And you know, just
Speaker 6: in the National championship game, he was on the floor
Speaker 6: for the final four or five minutes when they made
Speaker 6: their big comeback. You know, he was that vital of
Speaker 6: a player and I agree with you. I don't think
Speaker 6: he'll start. But he's so comfortable coming off the bench
Speaker 6: now as a sixth man. Maybe that's kind of appealing
Speaker 6: to him. Maybe he wants to be that guy to
Speaker 6: come off the bench and provide us.
Speaker 4: I think Kentucky was like, they wanted to wrap this up. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, he didn't want because the portal closes today.
Speaker 4: We talked about how there was this endless supply of salmon,
Speaker 4: but the supply ends today. And I think the thought was, Okay,
Speaker 4: maybe we get the kid from Kansas. Maybe we get
Speaker 4: but like, we know, we get this kid, so let's
Speaker 4: just do it. Twelve million dollars, they're saying, our payroll
Speaker 4: could be ten to twelve million dollars. A couple of
Speaker 4: interesting things to me about that. I knew Kentucky would
Speaker 4: be competitive with Innisle Funds. But when I was I
Speaker 4: had one. I did one call when I was in
Speaker 4: the Netherlands about recruiting, and I talked to a person
Speaker 4: and I said, this was before we had gotten Jayalen Lowell, right,
Speaker 4: and so I was like, you know, we're not getting people.
Speaker 4: Do we have the money to compete? And the person
Speaker 4: said to me the money is fine, and they said
Speaker 4: it like, don't even worry about it, which makes me think, Drew,
Speaker 4: they must like in this inile world, say Kentucky's not
Speaker 4: going second, which is I think good. Maybe a little surprising.
Speaker 5: Well, we all thought BYU has been the most money
Speaker 5: because they've been thrown around a lot of it too.
Speaker 5: And even uh Chickentown down there with Cal and Tyson,
Speaker 5: I thought they'd be among the topspin.
Speaker 4: Now or Louisville, lois WI will spend a lot too early.
Speaker 5: They're sitting around. They got they overpaid for three guys
Speaker 5: right away.
Speaker 4: Michigan has got a lot too. But uh, it shouldn't
Speaker 4: be too surprising. I'm sure Joe Kraft has been a
Speaker 4: big part of this, but I didn't expect people to
Speaker 4: be saying number one overall and over you know, ten
Speaker 4: to fifteen million dollars is what they're spending. That's wild. Now,
Speaker 4: I'm not I have no idea, and I mean this,
Speaker 4: I have no idea who's giving the money. I'm going
Speaker 4: to assume the crafts are a big part of it,
Speaker 4: but I do not know that for certain. Here's what
Speaker 4: I do know. When two years ago, when John cal
Speaker 4: Perry was here, the money was gone, like they were
Speaker 4: not able to raise money, part of the reason when
Speaker 4: they launched Club Blue. It has gone extremely well since,
Speaker 4: but it was a complete disaster when it first started
Speaker 4: in terms of the money being raised it because remember
Speaker 4: we did that the whole story about the commercial and
Speaker 4: all that stuff, and if nothing else, Pope has made
Speaker 4: it to where these people want to give money. So
Speaker 4: if Kaled come back, we always argue, well, would this
Speaker 4: have happened. With this have happened, he wouldn't have had
Speaker 4: any money. He got money at Arkansas, and we got
Speaker 4: money here with him leaving, But I don't think that
Speaker 4: would have happened if they were at the same play.
Speaker 6: It's an amazing one pint eighty going from nothing and
Speaker 6: now they've got money coming out their wazoo. And I
Speaker 6: think you're right. I think Pope is a big reason
Speaker 6: why I think they believe in him. He's got these
Speaker 6: boosters back on board, and that's why the money's gonna
Speaker 6: be there now. If they needed to recruit these kids.
Speaker 4: And this might be the last year where that matters
Speaker 4: that way, we might have a completely different system next
Speaker 4: year where it's revenue sharing the money goes down, you
Speaker 4: actually have to get ads. By the way, I think
Speaker 4: that's a system that will help Kentucky as well, because
Speaker 4: we actually have low local businesses is now doing endorsement deals.
Speaker 4: But Kentucky, Now, how good is the roster in europeion?
Speaker 4: Is this a final four roster? I think so part
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 5: I wondered if it was just me being too excited
Speaker 5: and you know, being a fan. But then just reading
Speaker 5: the internet yesterday, I mean, there's been some new rankings
Speaker 5: come out where they're top five. There's been some accounts
Speaker 5: I really trust, some national accounts say Kentucky, if Mark
Speaker 5: Pope can make all these pieces fit, this will be
Speaker 5: the best roster in college basketball. So I already thought
Speaker 5: it because I've liked all the additions, especially assuming quaintance
Speaker 5: gets healthy. But seeing people who are just completely objective
Speaker 5: and don't have a care in the world about who's
Speaker 5: the best them saying Kentucky is going to be a leader,
Speaker 5: that gets me even more excited.
Speaker 4: Here's what I like about. Here's how I know our
Speaker 4: fans like it. I said Kentucky would be top five
Speaker 4: to eight next year, and people were mad at me.
Speaker 4: They didn't think that was high enough. By the way,
Speaker 4: if we're number one, guess what that also is top five?
Speaker 9: Yes it is?
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean number one is in the top five
Speaker 4: to eight. Here here's why I like the lineup. We
Speaker 4: got at least one and maybe two of everything. Yep, Okay.
Speaker 4: Last year we had we I think we had all
Speaker 4: of the starting pieces to be really good, but we
Speaker 4: really didn't have a second line that could do it.
Speaker 4: Next year, our second team is also very good. So what,
Speaker 4: in my opinion, you want to win in March? What
Speaker 4: do you need? You need guards who can go get
Speaker 4: you a shot down the stretch. We have Jalen Lowe,
Speaker 4: we have Otaga Oway, and we might maybe Jasper Johnson.
Speaker 4: Is that too? Right? You need guys who can shoot.
Speaker 4: We have nine different guys who in their career have
Speaker 4: shown the ability to shoot threes. Okay, you gotta have
Speaker 4: you gotta protect the rim. We got tons of size, right, Garrison,
Speaker 4: the Croatian kid, you know Malachai Moreno, they got a
Speaker 4: ton of size. You need physical toughness. That's something we
Speaker 4: didn't have last year. That's why you go get Diabate right,
Speaker 4: and Garrison can be a tough guy if he wants
Speaker 4: to be and then you get you need role players
Speaker 4: who can come in nail the corner three. That's that
Speaker 4: Cam Williams kid from from Tulane. I think they have
Speaker 4: everything they need. The only my only question is do
Speaker 4: you have a star star? Do you have Walter Clayton Junior?
Speaker 4: Do you have Cooper Flack? You know, Houston, We're built
Speaker 4: like Houston was last year in some ways, and there
Speaker 4: was a couple times when you watch Houston where it
Speaker 4: was like they need a bucket and it's not one
Speaker 4: hundred percent sure who's gonna go get it. But that's
Speaker 4: the only weak I don't even know if it's a weakness.
Speaker 4: That's my only concern because otherwise you got you got
Speaker 4: twelve guys, maybe thirteen guys that can play, And to me,
Speaker 4: I don't know how you can't love that.
Speaker 5: So they go, ohway, it might be preseason All American.
Speaker 5: He might be, So that could be your saying gets
Speaker 5: a little better.
Speaker 4: If history three point shooting gets better, he's an All American.
Speaker 4: His three point shooting needs to be a little bit
Speaker 4: more consistent. But if he gets it, he's in All America.
Speaker 6: So does that having you know all this depth to
Speaker 6: it each spot, all the right pieces. Does that overcome
Speaker 6: not having a star in your mind?
Speaker 4: I'm not saying we don't have a star. I'm saying
Speaker 4: I'm just not one hundred percent sure who it will be.
Speaker 4: But you got everything you want, yep. I don't know
Speaker 4: for preseason. Number one, Purdue's gonna be really good because
Speaker 4: they got the one kid coming back. Houston will be good.
Speaker 4: You know, all of our rivals, like Lui's gonna be good,
Speaker 4: Arkansas is gonna be good by you is not a rival,
Speaker 4: but the Pope thing. They're gonna be good. But I
Speaker 4: love where we are. The SEC will not be as
Speaker 4: good as it was last year. It'll still be really
Speaker 4: but it's not gonna be what it was last year.
Speaker 4: So Drew, I like like where we stand.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and like you're eleven, twelve, and thirteen is probably
Speaker 5: gonna be Marino A McDonald's All American, Travis Perry who
Speaker 5: had to start games last year, and Trent tru I
Speaker 5: mean those guys were outside of Reno. Those two were
Speaker 5: playing quality minutes on last year's team and they might
Speaker 5: be sitting at the end of.
Speaker 4: The It's gonna be three dudes from Kentucky that we
Speaker 4: know at least two of them have played already when
Speaker 4: we had two, so I it reminds me of twenty Now. Look,
Speaker 4: twenty fifteen had a ton more top end NBA town.
Speaker 4: But you remember who the eleventh and twelfth man were,
Speaker 4: Dominie Hawkins and Derek Willis, both of whom ended up
Speaker 4: having really good careers at Kentucky. So kind of reminds
Speaker 4: me of that a little bit. If I'm nine to two,
Speaker 4: eight oh, twenty two eighty seven, we're gonna take a break.
Speaker 4: We're here at ks Bar. It's Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome
Speaker 4: back Tucky Sports Radio. Wait, they're handing out pickleball paddles where.
Speaker 3: Shaded the Lovell Slugger filled for the Bats game coming
Speaker 3: up this week?
Speaker 4: What day? Uh?
Speaker 3: I'd have to go back and listen, But I mean,
Speaker 3: why do you care? You're not gonna go get them.
Speaker 4: No, I want to go and take them all break.
Speaker 4: That's what I would like.
Speaker 3: You know, your boy Ryan got into pickleball while you
Speaker 3: were gone.
Speaker 4: I'm s heard. I didn't want to talk about I'm
Speaker 4: already disappointed.
Speaker 6: I didn't want to admit that to you, sir.
Speaker 4: But did you enjoy it.
Speaker 6: Yes, okay, I didn't want to hear Shannon ran me
Speaker 6: all over the court with Shan.
Speaker 4: Yeah he was.
Speaker 6: He taught me how to play first time we ever
Speaker 6: played part.
Speaker 5: Of their bros Week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know it's fine. I'm gonna let you
Speaker 4: all do it enough and then I'll play once and
Speaker 4: beat you all and make you all retire. It'll be
Speaker 4: a loser leaves town match up. If I be shing,
Speaker 4: if I beat you, you have to quit. Okay. If
Speaker 4: you beat me, then I have to play.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I like that. You have to have to
Speaker 2: play like once a week. Get to join a league.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you give me ten minutes to warm up.
Speaker 4: I'll beat you. You might, but just because I'm used
Speaker 4: to like.
Speaker 2: But I'm good. I'm just telling you.
Speaker 4: I'm I could see that you have you have hand
Speaker 4: eye coordination, so I could see you being Ryan.
Speaker 3: Could not move, you know, for a guy who's the
Speaker 3: stolen based leader at Kentucky Wesley, And.
Speaker 4: You're gonna let him say that about you. You can't move?
Speaker 2: Can I move?
Speaker 6: I was sore for three days after we played.
Speaker 4: Growing.
Speaker 6: Yes, you pulled your growing playing pickleball and running me
Speaker 6: all over the court. Yes, I'll bet all.
Speaker 4: These people that come into the bar and tell me
Speaker 4: they play pickleball.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they don't pull their growing Well, I don't exercise
Speaker 6: at all.
Speaker 4: We need to. You need to have you thought about that?
Speaker 4: You're like seventy three. Now, isn't it time to get
Speaker 4: into a little bit of exercise. Probably that's why I
Speaker 4: think pickleball is the answer. Well, apparently not. One person
Speaker 4: on text machine rights Matt, in what ways will our
Speaker 4: team be better next year? And in what ways will
Speaker 4: they be worse? I mean, obviously this is a gas
Speaker 4: because we don't know, but we're gonna be I think
Speaker 4: I feel very confident saying Drey, we're gonna be much
Speaker 4: better defensively, much better defensively, Like we we got like
Speaker 4: five guys who can guard. Last year we had like
Speaker 4: one and a half or two. Maybe we'll have Kuanamari three.
Speaker 4: But in general, much better, defensively, much tougher. If you're
Speaker 4: gonna say, what are we gonna be worse? Were probably
Speaker 4: not gonna be quite as good shooting threes. We're gonna be.
Speaker 4: You know, that team when they got hot, could make
Speaker 4: a ton of threes. This team probably takes a s
Speaker 4: at back in threes. More Atlantic, more defense, better defense.
Speaker 4: That's the way I would look at it. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: love that pope.
Speaker 5: I think when he got to the SEC he looked
Speaker 5: around was like, WHOA, this league's different. Yeah, he knew
Speaker 5: he had to go out and get physical on that defense.
Speaker 5: I think they finished just outside the top fifty last year,
Speaker 5: but at one point they're outside the top one hundred.
Speaker 5: But he obviously made that a priority. They have several
Speaker 5: guys that can guard. They could even have a five
Speaker 5: that's all defense and two knock on everything. They're gonna
Speaker 5: be healthier, hopefully, because I can't imagine having a team
Speaker 5: anything like last year. That was just unfortunate.
Speaker 4: Luck well, that's probably why you got thirteen players. I
Speaker 4: also think you're gonna have something that's gonna be great,
Speaker 4: which is they're gonna be able to switch at almost
Speaker 4: every position. Yes, you know what I mean, Like, like
Speaker 4: think about last year. Okay, if Andrew Carr gets switched
Speaker 4: on a point guard, you're dead. You're just you're dead.
Speaker 4: If Lamont Butler gets switched on a center, you're dead.
Speaker 4: That doesn't happen to somebody, could you. You're gonna have
Speaker 4: a lot of guys who can switch it every position.
Speaker 4: I think it'll make it to where we're much better.
Speaker 6: To Yeah, Debaute, who's guarding a lot of the smaller
Speaker 6: twos and threes at Alabama.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Brandon Garrison is not the greatest at that,
Speaker 4: but he can do it. Olah. He was awesome because
Speaker 4: he did. You're exactly right.
Speaker 5: He was getting really comparisons.
Speaker 4: At least for a night. So I think that that
Speaker 4: versatility is also gonna be uh, gonna be big. Who's
Speaker 4: up first, Doug, Doug? How are you, Doug?
Speaker 8: I'm doing great, man. I've got a question for all
Speaker 8: of you guys. Okay, you know, I think everybody would
Speaker 8: agree that last year or Tago alway was the surprise
Speaker 8: of the team.
Speaker 4: I don't know that definitely the surprise.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, looking at the lineup, everybody we've got on
Speaker 8: the team now, who is next year is well?
Speaker 4: I think the surprise next year for me is going
Speaker 4: to be uh, the kid from too Late, Caim Williams.
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be I think people are penciling
Speaker 4: him in. When you look at people, they're saying he's
Speaker 4: Ansley Almonor. I've had people tell me that's an NBA athlete.
Speaker 4: Now that doesn't mean he's an NBA player. He's gonna have,
Speaker 4: but like he is a top level athlete. Ansley was,
Speaker 4: you know, Mario's favorite player, but he wasn't a top
Speaker 4: level athlete. I think that guy's gonna be a dude.
Speaker 4: He's gonna have some games where he comes in and
Speaker 4: you go, oh, wait a minute, what about this kid?
Speaker 4: So that's my pick for that. I agree with him
Speaker 4: a lot.
Speaker 5: I don't think we're talking about him enough, part of
Speaker 5: because he was the first to commit and we're still
Speaker 5: in the tournament, but he's in the NBA conversation. He's
Speaker 5: still young, very athletic. But U for my pick, and
Speaker 5: I won't say it be quite the O Way season,
Speaker 5: but I still think Colin Chandler is gonna blow people
Speaker 5: away next year.
Speaker 4: I would love it. I don't know where he him
Speaker 4: as a starter, but yeah, maybe it was not crazy.
Speaker 5: I mean once that once he flipped that switch. It
Speaker 5: was a little late in the year, but we saw
Speaker 5: the potential as the season then now he's gonna have
Speaker 5: a whole summer. Remember last year he spent the whole
Speaker 5: summer just doing conditioning. I mean he was out there
Speaker 5: without a basketball for a lot of it, just getting
Speaker 5: acclimated with a basketball again. I think he's due for
Speaker 5: a big breakout sophomore season.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with Yellowvich, the Croatian sensation. So that's
Speaker 6: how you say it, Yeah, Yellowvich.
Speaker 4: Alright, I've been invested with his name. We had practice,
Speaker 4: We had practice, you said, just so, you know, how
Speaker 4: do you know anything about Yellowvich? I don't, So why
Speaker 4: are you impressed with it? Oh?
Speaker 6: I think even about his name? That makes sure he
Speaker 6: got his name right. Uh well, and I know I
Speaker 6: actually watched the video clips.
Speaker 4: It was a minute and a half.
Speaker 6: He looked fantastic to me. Six nine guy a little
Speaker 6: older can shoot.
Speaker 2: Playing pickleball with a minute and a half of like
Speaker 2: he played.
Speaker 4: Someone told me. And I didn't see it, but someone
Speaker 4: told me he played like last night in his pro
Speaker 4: league and there were some people online who watched it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and he had like eighteen points. So maybe we should
Speaker 4: look up Drew and see if they're playing okay, and
Speaker 4: maybe we could even watch it at the bar. Have
Speaker 4: a Yellowvich.
Speaker 5: I'm sure they're at a casino somewhere playing.
Speaker 4: That's what they do. Look and see if they play,
Speaker 4: because I think he played like a night or two
Speaker 4: that might be completely made up. I don't know, but
Speaker 4: somebody told me we'll be right back to SKSR. TJ. Smith,
Speaker 4: personal injury attorney called TJ.
Speaker 1: He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 3: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 2: Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4: Walcome back in his Kentucky Sports Radio A five nine
Speaker 4: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is
Speaker 4: seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.
Speaker 4: One person writes, Matt, is there a timeline on Jaden
Speaker 4: Quaint's return? Last I heard it was maybe the first month.
Speaker 4: I've heard like four different things. So I'm gonna wait
Speaker 4: and see what Pope says. Because I I've heard people
Speaker 4: say be read to start of the season. I was
Speaker 4: originally told start of SEC play, So I you know,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna wait and see. I assume they went and
Speaker 4: got diabate in part because you got a wait and
Speaker 4: you don't know what Quaintance is gonna be. But so
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 6: When he gets healthy. I mean, he's a stud, he's
Speaker 6: the He's the guy that could be our superstar if
Speaker 6: and when he gets healthy one.
Speaker 4: Person, rightes Matt, you said right before you went in
Speaker 4: your trip or at the beginning of the year, you
Speaker 4: were going to try to read fifty two books this
Speaker 4: year for each week, one for each week. Where are
Speaker 4: you on it? I am. I just finished my thirteenth
Speaker 4: book last night, So I think I'm a little behind.
Speaker 4: I think by the end of April. If I was
Speaker 4: going to keep it to where you'd want to be,
Speaker 4: you'd want to have read what seventeen And I'm I'll
Speaker 4: have probably by the end of April fourteen or fifteen.
Speaker 4: So I'm a little behind. But the summer is the
Speaker 4: time to catch up, right, So I think I can.
Speaker 6: I think I can just get you some of those
Speaker 6: that are like just fifty pages long.
Speaker 4: Why would I want to cheat? It's I'm not doing
Speaker 4: it for myself, so like, why would I want to
Speaker 4: cheat myself?
Speaker 6: What was the philosopher? You said, you guys read your
Speaker 6: reading in the spinosa, just catch up on his reading?
Speaker 6: Can you count those? Can you count those?
Speaker 4: For you? Are hard to read? Like the philosophy books
Speaker 4: are the ones that would take the longest. It's like
Speaker 4: fiction that would be the quickest.
Speaker 5: All right, So uh, I found I found the news
Speaker 5: for our friends at Mega super Bet.
Speaker 4: That's the Supermax Beta Max. Their website says super Bet.
Speaker 4: The name the team's name is super Beat there super Bet.
Speaker 4: I like it all right again, the town is yours.
Speaker 5: So they played last night, fourth consecutive win for Mega
Speaker 5: super Bet.
Speaker 4: That sounds like something if you were like in a
Speaker 4: foreign country and like they had come in here for
Speaker 4: Vega super Bet. You know.
Speaker 5: So Bogo le Jump Markovich led super Bet with double double,
Speaker 5: but right behind him in the second paragraph of the game,
Speaker 5: right up is our boy andre Yellovich with eighteen points
Speaker 5: and eight rebounds. They're moving on to the round of
Speaker 5: twenty nine in the league.
Speaker 4: No, that's not the round promise. I don't know how
Speaker 4: that round of twenty nine, how that works. But they
Speaker 4: play on Monday in the round of twenty nine of
Speaker 4: twenty nine. They're hosting s C Derby. I've heard of
Speaker 4: them at the Student Sea Skint Center at the Students Center.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yes, he did play and played well.
Speaker 4: He's uh they played. What time they played Monday?
Speaker 5: So they play at eight o'clock at Stogitski Center time,
Speaker 5: that'd be like two pm here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're doing the math. All right, So here's what
Speaker 4: I want to do. I say, Drew, I'm putting you
Speaker 4: in charge of this. Okay, you have to figure out
Speaker 4: if this is possible. If you can find a way
Speaker 4: to get that game, I'll pay for it. No, No,
Speaker 4: we'll go dark side of the here and it'll be free. Well,
Speaker 4: we'll watch it here Monday at two pm. We'll have
Speaker 4: a little Mini Super Beta Max thing. Money's looking at me. Well,
Speaker 4: it won't be that many people, I promise, don't worry
Speaker 4: about it won't be that many people. But well, we'll watch.
Speaker 6: It here and wear pink, wear pink.
Speaker 5: We'll super bet on the game.
Speaker 4: I know people have to work and stuff, so you
Speaker 4: might not be able to come. But like, even if
Speaker 4: it's just the three of us, we'll watch it. We
Speaker 4: can live stream, and I mean, I don't think they'll
Speaker 4: come after us. So look and see if max, if
Speaker 4: we can get the Mega Super Beta Max game.
Speaker 8: Uh.

Speaker 4: Really all right? So what what what when you buy socks?
Speaker 4: What are they usually made of? What are the choice?
Speaker 4: Cotton is the main one, Shannon, You what else? Like silk?

Speaker 4: Okay. So I was walking through Altmar as I was
Speaker 4: waiting to try to get to the soccer game, and
Speaker 4: they have a market on sad The whole downtown the
Speaker 4: city shuts down and has a market. That's kind of
Speaker 4: also why I went there because it's like known as
Speaker 4: the best market in the now. Huh. Walked all kinds
Speaker 4: of great stuff. They have the food like strewed, like
Speaker 4: what do you call it? With the waffle waffle. The
Speaker 4: point is it's like it's good, all right, doing a
Speaker 4: great job. You're doing a great job. But anyway, I
Speaker 4: was at this place and this woman goes, do you
Speaker 4: want socks? And I thought, well, that's a weird thing
Speaker 4: to ask me. She said, these are the best socks
Speaker 4: in the world. They're made of bamboo. See you're shaking
Speaker 4: your head. They're made of bamboo. And I was like,
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't come here for socks. I'm probably okay,
Speaker 4: she said, and she had a very sincere look on
Speaker 4: her face. She said, I promise you these socks will
Speaker 4: be the best purchase of your life. Well, when somebody
Speaker 4: says that Shannon talking about socks, I was like, how
Speaker 4: much are they seven dollars for two two pairs? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I said, you know what, if they're gonna be the
Speaker 4: best socks of my life and you get two of
Speaker 4: them and I get two pairs, and you have seven
Speaker 4: dollars and I had seven dollars, I said, you know what,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get them best socks in my life. Well,

Speaker 4: all thick, thin, No blisters, water like, they don't get wet,
Speaker 4: like you don't sweat right, and then they don't stink.
Speaker 4: I could walk all day, walk all over town. Take
Speaker 4: them off they didn't smell. I could wear them for
Speaker 4: multiple days, still didn't smell. And my feet can stink.
Speaker 4: I know that if things are not going. Didn't smell.

Speaker 4: people are gonna get them, and a lot of you
Speaker 4: all apparently have bamboo sheets.
Speaker 6: That I've heard that as. I've not heard bamboo bamboo
Speaker 6: clothing though.
Speaker 4: So uh bombas. I think they used to advertise on
Speaker 4: this show. Apparently if you buy bamboo socks from then
Speaker 4: they give, they give, They sell you one and then
Speaker 4: give one pair to the homeless.
Speaker 6: It's kind of cool.
Speaker 4: That seems like a very nice thing.
Speaker 5: I wear bombas that's their big thing. That might have
Speaker 5: started on Shark Tank too.
Speaker 4: Apparently. Bamboom sheets, though, are not cheap. They're kind of expensive.
Speaker 6: Well you said the socks here in America were expensive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well they weren't in Alkmar So.
Speaker 6: Uh so, you know, I'm sure we can get him
Speaker 6: on Amazon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you can get anything on Amazon. Sean
Speaker 4: Woods hired as Scott County coach from an unforgettable to
Speaker 4: now the coach at Scott County. You know, Sean was
Speaker 4: on a bunch of our shows last year. This had
Speaker 4: kind of been something people been talking about. But where
Speaker 4: you are you surprised your former TV colleague? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think my buddy Alan Color broke the story
Speaker 6: last night and it was I'm not glad he's back
Speaker 6: in coaching. I mean, that's his passion, that's his love.
Speaker 6: He wants to get back in coaching. Took a year off,
Speaker 6: kind of did a lot of media stuff. So you know,
Speaker 6: if he gets foot back in the door of Scott County,
Speaker 6: why not, so good good for him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he'll be good at that. Like Ryan said,
Speaker 5: we know he'd been one to get back into coaching
Speaker 5: for a while. We've had a little bit of a
Speaker 5: great Crossing dynasty around here lately. I think he'll bring Scott.
Speaker 4: Scott County's probably like, we don't want to keep having
Speaker 4: this great Crossing thing. You know, they won state, didn't they?
Speaker 4: They did, so, I mean Scott County probably once you're
Speaker 4: wearing a great Crossing chirt.
Speaker 6: He works for Jake Great cross Okay, so.
Speaker 4: You're they're probably wanting to, you know, say, hey, we
Speaker 4: got to get back to where we are. We are
Speaker 4: Scott count.
Speaker 5: They were one of the premier high schools in the
Speaker 5: state from Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Billy Hicks run was legendary, won a couple
Speaker 6: of state titles, had a couple of mister basketballs, so
Speaker 6: you know that's a tradition.
Speaker 4: Rich school are the best Scott County players of all time.
Speaker 4: Scott something Scott was Rick Jones, Rick Jones, that's right,
Speaker 4: Rick Scott Scott, that's why. Yes, what about Bud Mackie
Speaker 4: was a sad story. He was really good, didn't Rick Jones?
Speaker 4: So yeah, and Rick Jones and Scott Hunley went to Vandy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jones got dismissed for I think some kind of charge,
Speaker 3: marijuana charge or something.
Speaker 2: But he didn't last long there. But he was great though.
Speaker 6: He was Macky, in my opinion, is the best high
Speaker 6: school kid that's ever played in this area. When he
Speaker 6: was really he was in the same class as what like, uh.
Speaker 4: Hang on, that's a strong state.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so saying better than Jack of it, I think,
Speaker 6: if I'm not mistake, than James Y. He was in
Speaker 6: the same class with like Shelvin mack Scottie Hobson, maybe
Speaker 6: Darius Mill. There was a bunch of guys in the NBA.
Speaker 6: Bud Mackie was better than all of them.
Speaker 4: So you think Bud mack was better than any player
Speaker 4: in this area ever for the.
Speaker 6: For the last twenty five years.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't want to disparage Jack Gibbons or Dirk Minifield,
Speaker 6: but Bud Mackie was awesome.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 6: He played in that one game where they played uh
Speaker 6: OJ Mayo. And who's the other dude that he ended
Speaker 6: up playing with the NBA from OJ Mayo And he's
Speaker 6: the best person for it. No, Billy Wagner, Billy.
Speaker 4: Side Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do remember what he went
Speaker 4: to Indiana, right, But no.
Speaker 6: He got got in troubled, went to jail, never played
Speaker 6: his senior year, lost his scholarship in Indiana.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he was that's where he was gonna go.
Speaker 4: Kelvin Sampson. Uh if I'm twenty two eighty seven, who's
Speaker 4: up next?
Speaker 2: Roy?
Speaker 4: And good luck to Sean Woods? Hoping hope it goes well, Roy,
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Roy.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Everybody is going on about how much money Kentucky
Speaker 9: spent to getting that kid from Florida. Well, how about
Speaker 9: Nata Mint? How much did Tennessee pay for him? How
Speaker 9: much the North Carolina pay for the kid that wanted
Speaker 9: to come to Kentucky and different ones. So, yeah, we
Speaker 9: had a game, and that's the whey.
Speaker 4: That's exactly right.
Speaker 9: In my opinion, I think this kid from Florida, I'd
Speaker 9: rather have him any day than Native Mint because the
Speaker 9: kid from Alabama that transferred will shut him down when
Speaker 9: we play.
Speaker 4: All Right, I appreciate the call. We do have to
Speaker 4: transfer our mindset for a minute. This call callers exactly right.
Speaker 4: This idea that like you paid a lot of money
Speaker 4: for that kid as a put down needs to go away, right, So,
Speaker 4: I mean, whether you like it or not, this is
Speaker 4: where college sports are So if the Cincinnati Reads in
Speaker 4: four years, which they won't, but if they do decide
Speaker 4: to make Elie de la Cruz the highest paid player
Speaker 4: in baseball, good, that's what we need. We want to
Speaker 4: keep it right. So to me, Drew, I'm taking the
Speaker 4: view you've had for years. It ain't my money, rightly,
Speaker 4: And if it's not my money and we don't have
Speaker 4: a cap now we may have a cap one day,
Speaker 4: at which point then how much you're being paid is
Speaker 4: a different thing. But for now, if you don't have
Speaker 4: a cap, what do I care? It's not my money.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like people who get mad at how
Speaker 4: much money Mark Stoops makes. Is Mark Stoop's worth nine
Speaker 4: point whatever? Well maybe not, but it's not my money,
Speaker 4: right So what like on some level with these players,
Speaker 4: what do I care? If they're playing well in the court.
Speaker 5: Once this class is completed, we move on to the
Speaker 5: summer in the season, I will not have one single
Speaker 5: thought about what any of them are making. And like
Speaker 5: some Florida fans say, you overpay for Everdeen, Okay, I
Speaker 5: don't care.
Speaker 4: He's on the team. I'm gonna roof for him.
Speaker 5: Outside of like a problem where you weigh overpay and
Speaker 5: there's drama within the team that can hurt you. I
Speaker 5: don't care what any of them are making, how much
Speaker 5: it cost, how much, oh you overpay, underpay.
Speaker 4: I want them to win games. I've been told, and
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is true, because I think
Speaker 4: all the numbers are inflated and we're all guessing. But
Speaker 4: I've been told that last year's team made somewhere between
Speaker 4: four to five million total. Let's just assume that's correct.
Speaker 4: Did you think they played less hard because of that?
Speaker 4: Where did you enjoy them less because of that? Do
Speaker 4: you think they loved the jersey less because of that?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I thought that team, in many ways
Speaker 4: loved playing for Kentucky as much as any team has
Speaker 4: in a number of years. So what difference does it make.
Speaker 6: I totally agree with you that that money factored zero,
Speaker 6: and what that team did last year, I can assume
Speaker 6: it could do the same this year.
Speaker 4: Now, that may not always happen. You last tennessee about
Speaker 4: their quarterback and how that worked out. But if you
Speaker 4: get the right kids, I don't think it has to
Speaker 4: make a difference.
Speaker 6: That's why I think Pope is still good about his
Speaker 6: roster construction. It's a new element for us to get
Speaker 6: used to. They it constructed his roster that way, with
Speaker 6: the right kids and the right piece.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: At not one point during last year's season did I think, oh,
Speaker 5: he's getting this and he's getting that, or he's not,
Speaker 5: you know, overpaid, he's underpaid. Didn't have one thought about
Speaker 5: nil outside of liking their Clark's Pumping Shop commercial during
Speaker 5: the season.
Speaker 4: Shannon, I think it's probably fair to say that since
Speaker 4: I've come back, we've talked to I mean, yesterday I
Speaker 4: went over what fifteen topics. Yeah, today I led with
Speaker 4: basketball and recruiting. I would say ten times as many
Speaker 4: texts about the bamboo socks see as any other subject.
Speaker 2: Everybody's got an opinion on it.
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. Yeah, so that's the kind of thing
