51
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: is just it doesn't feel right, like something about I

52
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 4: feel dirty right now that I go around Lexington and

53
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: I don't get called name everywhere I go.

54
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna just jump right in there.

55
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: I mean, you've had this hot cold relationship not just

56
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: with UK fans, UK coaches and US at KSR. So

57
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 4: it's kind of a surreal to see you sitting right

58
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 4: there on KSR here at ksbar this morning.

59
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 6: It's it's crazy because since I got into this really

60
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 6: back in like early two thousands, I haven't really gotten

61
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 6: along with the coaches.

62
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: You know. It started with Billy Bullyclyde.

63
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, it's always Bully Clyde. And I remember going

64
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 6: on a show with Matt early days in telling him

65
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 6: what a bully Clyde was and I was a Famway

66
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 6: Park doing the radio show and it was before a

67
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 6: Red Sox game that I was covering, and he's defending

68
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 6: Gillespie and trying to tell him why it was such

69
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 6: a bad hire, which we know why now. And uh

70
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 6: and then Cal came along and I wasn't good with

71
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 6: Cal dating back to the Memphis days.

72
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 7: Uh.

73
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 6: You know he once told me that I wasn't welcome

74
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 6: in Memphis. Yeah, I told him he can't ban me

75
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 6: from an entire city. So I went for that Memphis

76
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 6: Tennessee game. It was one verse two and it carried

77
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 6: over to here and uh, and actually call and I

78
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 6: had to sit down. I think I've talked about it right. Well,

79
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 6: it's a couple of years ago. We had a sit

80
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 6: down about four years ago. Eric Lindsay set it up,

81
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 6: the Formersted dealer. Oh yeah, good guy. Sat down, went

82
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 6: in his office, the three of us, and uh. After

83
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 6: about thirty seconds, I was like, why the hell did

84
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 6: I do this?

85
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: Oscar?

86
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 5: You're right, you were there for Oscar. Me today, I

87
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 5: remember that. Ye was awesome, Like how good was Oscar?

88
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 5: Well that was before we even knew Oscar. For the

89
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 5: Oscar that was just like, because he said, uh, it's

90
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 5: between rebound or something, It's between me and God for

91
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 5: every single rebound, we were like, oh, yeah, that's in.

92
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: Little did we know we he was phenomenal. And again,

93
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: I I think the hard part for me is, you know, I.

94
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 6: Love the passion of a big blue nation. Nobody loves

95
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 6: it better than me. And now again I've been drawing

96
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 6: the ire of Kentucky fans a lot of times because again,

97
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 6: I felt like I was pretty much down the middle

98
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 6: when it came to Cal. And I think now people

99
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 6: can kind of see that I wrote some really good

100
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 6: things about Nick Richards and John Wall and all the

101
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 6: players and even Cal. A few years ago, coming out

102
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 6: of the pandemic, I said he should get another year.

103
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 6: Like there were some people at that point that were like,

104
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 6: let's get rid of them, and I'm like, no, give

105
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 6: him another year. And then I think maybe two years

106
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 6: ago I was like, all right, it's time. It's time

107
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 6: for both sides to go their own way. And so, yeah,

108
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 6: it's weird being back like this. It's weird walking in

109
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 6: you know, last year with Tennessee the game and.

110
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: People were coming up to you asking for pictures in Lexington.

111
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'd ever thought that was ever.

112
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 6: Gonna happen, right, you know, generally very in person, like

113
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 6: we did the Kentucky derby my wife and I years ago,

114
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 6: seven eight years ago, and I had a ton of

115
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 6: Kentucky fans come.

116
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: Up to me and be nice in person.

117
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 6: Generally you're getting like the other day at the Bourbon

118
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 6: whatever and beyond festival. Yeah, people coming up to me

119
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 6: all the time, and again Kentucky fans, Louisville fans, whatever.

120
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 6: But I think the difference now is feeling welcome by

121
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 6: Mark Pope and the staff.

122
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: It's different now. With Cal he never trusted me. I

123
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: never trusted him.

124
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 6: I always felt like, again, whatever he said was you know, listen,

125
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 6: it was whatever he wanted to get out there. That's

126
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 6: what he would try to turn the message to. Whatever

127
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 6: you'd ask him. Jack knows this better than anybody.

128
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: Whatever you'd ask him, he had a narrative already in mind. Now,

129
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 4: it didn't matter, the question was irrelevant, didn't matter.

130
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: He was going to answer it the way he wanted

131
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 3: to answer it.

132
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 6: So I just think Kentucky fans have slowly come to

133
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 6: realize what I always thought of John Cal Perry, best

134
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 6: recruit in the country, great use car salesman, average to

135
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 6: above average coach who again I think has lost his

136
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 6: his fastball a little bit. Yeah, and and the work

137
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 6: ethic that drove him to be a dominant coach, and

138
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 6: I think his staff.

139
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: Needs reshaping it. Let me let me just kind of

140
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to take what Goodman just said and translated

141
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 3: for you guys, all right, Kentucky fans. It took a while,

142
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: but I was right, and that's a hell of a translation.

143
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely right.

144
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 5: So your your relationship with cal is what it is,

145
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 5: and it's not just a neutral replacement with with Pope.

146
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 5: It's you go from from foe to friend with with

147
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 5: Mark Pope. How did that kind of work out where

148
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 5: you guys already have your friendship, your relationship and now

149
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: you do have a you know, friendship with a head

150
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 5: coach of Kentucky where you're welcome into practice to do

151
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 5: a live show with all the players and all the

152
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 5: staff members.

153
00:06:59,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

154
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 6: I mean, I've just don't Pope for a long time

155
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 6: and and know a lot of people around Pope know

156
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 6: Mark Fox forever. So can I tell the story of

157
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 6: the Arizona story about Pope that I told last.

158
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: Night if you want to, if you want to, so

159
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: might as well listening right now.

160
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 6: I'll leave the one coaches name out. Anyway, I went

161
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 6: to school at Arizona. I rarely get involved in any

162
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 6: of these things. Arizona a couple of years ago, when

163
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 6: they were going to hire Tommy Lloyd, came out it

164
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 6: was going to be Tommy Lloyd, and then they kind

165
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 6: of ran the ady at the time, Dave he Key,

166
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 6: they didn't want to make it look like it was

167
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 6: already wired for Tommy Lloyd, so they started saying another name,

168
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 6: not going to say who the name was. At that point,

169
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 6: another name was going to be in the mix. I

170
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 6: kind of freaked out because it was like a Bully

171
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 6: Clyde type. So I'm like called, I called Steve Kerr

172
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 6: Arizona guy. I'm like, Steve, this guy, Yeah, no, it

173
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 6: shouldn't happen.

174
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: So Steve.

175
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 6: Anyway, Steve kind of got that guy out and then

176
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 6: I said to Dave Pekey, you should look at Mark Pope.

177
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 6: And the next day he actually an interview with Arizona

178
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 6: and I guess he crushed it, but again didn't get

179
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 6: the Arizona job. It was already hooked up for timing.

180
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 6: Look but he he well could have had the Arizona job.

181
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: Wow. But that's how much I thought of Mark Pope

182
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: at the time.

183
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 6: Think about, it's my alma mater, and I'm not well

184
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 6: liked by my alma mater at all.

185
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: They hate me there? Hate me? Right now? Did you

186
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: say something bad about them? Also? Yeah, I mean because

187
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: he breathing. My favorite part about Goodman is he's like, oh,

188
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: these people don't like me. I'm not well liked there,

189
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: I'm not well liked here. I'm not well liked in

190
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: this in this college town. And he's like, I'm just

191
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: such a victim when you you love poking the mirror.

192
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: I would love to go back to and not have to.

193
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 6: You know, I've had to actually check in under other

194
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 6: names in Tucson. That's how bad it is in the hotel.

195
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 4: Well, the thing with Matt here and KSR, you guys

196
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: had a good relationship then it kind of went south.

197
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: But you've mended Vince's he kissed the made up Yeah

198
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: she did last year Tennessee game.

199
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 6: We had breakfast, and you know, I think part of

200
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 6: it honestly goes back to again, I wasn't on Team Cal.

201
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: He was on Team Cal Heavy Heavy.

202
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 6: For a long time, and then it flipped and he

203
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 6: apologized for some things.

204
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: I apologize for some things.

205
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 6: And you know, I'm getting older, I'm getting a little softer,

206
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 6: a little nice. I moved to Charleston right the Boston

207
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 6: and me is gone, so I gotta be a little

208
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 6: bit nice.

209
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: You got the beach Vine.

210
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 6: I'm a Southerner now, so I can't be an asshole

211
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 6: all the time. So uh no, I think it was

212
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 6: good to sit down with Matt. It was good to

213
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 6: sit down with Matt. I love Jack.

214
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: I think Jack's one of the most talented people.

215
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 6: Oh look at this, maybe faced Jack Pilgrim mean that,

216
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 6: I mean that sincerely. I watched you, you know, for

217
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 6: a long time. There aren't many like you out there.

218
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 6: I don't know how old you are. How old are

219
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 6: you know?

220
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: He's got babies now, he's like growing up right in

221
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 3: front of our eyes. He does.

222
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 6: But he is a worker. He is a worker. He's smart.

223
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 6: I would say that it's a fever here or not here.

224
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 6: There aren't many like Jack out there right now?

225
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: How about that.

226
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 5: I appreciate that you advocated for Mark Pope with Arizona

227
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 5: but I think the Kentucky job was a little bit

228
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: of a different story. He was such a polarizing just

229
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 5: decision in real time where fans had the hurlies and

230
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 5: the Billy Donovan's and the just dreaming as big as possible.

231
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 5: Scott drew and then it felt in real time that

232
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 5: it was they they settled for. So you advocated for

233
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 5: him at your alma mater. Did you advocate for Pope

234
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 5: in real time with Kentucky? And did the Year one results?

235
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 5: Did it shock you at all? And how well he

236
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 5: kind of embraced it in you know, reached history. I

237
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: thought it would be higher than Mark Pope. I think

238
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 5: we all did. I think we all thought, hey man,

239
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 5: it's not going to fall that far.

240
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 3: But it fell that far.

241
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 6: You know, obviously with Billy Clyde years ago, like the

242
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 6: landscape is different. These guys have huge buyouts now right,

243
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 6: Natoates was kind of immovable at that point. I thought

244
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 6: he would have been a perfect guy, right, a lot

245
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 6: of people Natos and Lexington, with the style of play

246
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 6: and with his personality, it would have worked.

247
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 3: It would have worked.

248
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 6: So I didn't think it would be Pope when at

249
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 6: first everything I thought maybe Scott Drew and then obviously

250
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 6: his family that didn't work out. I wonder if Scott

251
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 6: has some regrets now with the way the landscape has

252
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 6: changed and Baylor doesn't have money and now Kentucky's going

253
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 6: to have money. Right if he had known this where

254
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 6: we are in the world of college basketball, I'm not

255
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 6: sure he would have turned it down. But again, I

256
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 6: think it was more a family decision. Pope's perfect man.

257
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 6: He's perfect for the job because he knows it, he

258
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 6: embraces it, and he won enough to be able to

259
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 6: now walk around and be beloved because I think a

260
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 6: lot of people a year ago today, Rob we all

261
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 6: were like, hope it works, But I'm not sure yet.

262
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: I'm not sure whether Pope can do it. At Kentucky.

263
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 6: They won so many close games early that got him

264
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 6: that momentum, had a good year, and now everybody's all

265
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 6: in a market.

266
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: I think. I think part of it too, is that

267
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 3: he understands when you come here, you're going to be

268
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 3: living in the fish bowl, right, Like that's that's just

269
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: what it is. When you are the head coach at Kentucky,

270
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: you are the head coach at one of the biggest,

271
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 3: probably the biggest college basketball program in the country, right,

272
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: And I think that there's an element of when you

273
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: are let's just take natoes. You gave that example, right,

274
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: if you're when you're the head coach at Alabama, it's

275
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 3: not it's different because you're not the football coach, you

276
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: know what I mean? When you're the head coach at Baylor,

277
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 3: it's not. The fan base is different, the pressure is different.

278
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 3: The way that you can go out to dinner and

279
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 3: not have twenty five people come up to you and

280
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 3: nasking for pictures, it's different, and you have to want

281
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: to be a part of that and understand what it means.

282
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 3: And he does. You know, He's been here, he played here,

283
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: he won a championship here. And I think that that

284
00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: we undervalued the importance of being able to embrace that

285
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 3: part of the job. And I think that that Mark

286
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: Pope does it as well as anybody. He's so authentic.

287
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 3: Is that's the thing going from Cal to him night

288
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 3: and day. In a lot of ways, Yeah, Well, because

289
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 3: you again I said, like salesman, so here for Cal.

290
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 6: You don't feel like you're being sold anything by Mark Pope, right,

291
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 6: it just feels real.

292
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 3: Here's the perfect example. Of who Pope is in my eyes, right.

293
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: I brought my son to Peach Jamps here. He's nine

294
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: years old. And the first day that we were there,

295
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: he's walking with me and Jeff and we walked by him.

296
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: We're watching like some U sixteen game and Pope is

297
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 3: literally the only guy sitting there on the front row

298
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: at Peach jam and we go when we sit down

299
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: next to him, and my son sits down right next

300
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: to Pope and he just ignores me, and Goodman just

301
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: talks to my son for like ten minutes watching the

302
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: game is about like baseball or pitching or I don't

303
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: even know what they were talking about. Yeah, so we

304
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: go and then we get lunch, and then we walk

305
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: back into the gym. And I don't know if you've

306
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 3: been there, Ryan, Yeah, you've been there. Jack. You know,

307
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 3: when you walk into the main gym, you walk down

308
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: those steps and then there's like thirty people just kind

309
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: of stand at the bottom of those steps. And I

310
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: got caught up talking to someone and I thought Chase

311
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: was right next to me. I turned around, like five

312
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: minutes later, I'm like, where did he go? I look over,

313
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: Pope was still sitting there at court side, Chase had

314
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: walked up and sat right next to him, and they're

315
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: just sitting there talking again, and I'm like, where did

316
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: this come from? Like why are you over there? That's

317
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: the head coach, Like you don't even know what you're

318
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: doing right now. You don't even know that you're not

319
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: supposed to be doing that as a nine year old.

320
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: But Pope just sat there and talked to him and

321
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: it was great. We gotta take a break.

322
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: But before we go to the break, Jack, I gotta

338
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 4: can I stay with us for a little bit because

339
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 4: you're actually going to practice.

340
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: What do you hope to see?

341
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 7: You?

342
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 4: What are you excited to maybe see from this UK

343
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 4: basketball team. Let's get into the weeds a little bit, Rob,

344
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 4: I mean, just the depth, man, the depth. Now he goes, second, he.

345
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: Goes, Rob, Rob, here, I respect your elders. That's what it's.

346
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 6: It's the depth of this team. How how much firepower

347
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 6: we just came from Louisville. They're loaded, guys. Yeah, I

348
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 6: mean they're they're really about that.

349
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 5: I know about your debut on three preseason polls, so

350
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 5: we gotta we gotta get into that person.

351
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 6: I love that the rivalry is back, like it's officially

352
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 6: back this year, with both teams being preseason top ten,

353
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 6: both having a chance to get to a Final four,

354
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 6: both having a chance to maybe cut down the nets

355
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 6: in Indie this year. But I think it's just the

356
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 6: depth and talent and the way this roster was put together.

357
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 6: And again, they have more money than everybody else, so

358
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 6: to be honest, if you look at it, Robson when

359
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 6: we were at Purdue. What did you say, what's your quote,

360
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 6: rob about national title or bust for Purdue. Okay, so

361
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 6: if you agree with that, then I think you have

362
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 6: to agree with its final four bust for Kentucky because

363
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 6: they have twenty million dollars that is probably thirty percent

364
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 6: more than any other team in the country with an

365
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 6: nil payroll, somewhere at twenty five thirty percent something like that.

366
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: So to me, you've got pressure. And I talked to

367
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: Mark Pope about it a couple of weeks ago in Charlotte.

368
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: He knows it and he embraces it. That's the best part.

369
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 3: Of Mark Pope.

370
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 6: Now he's not saying what the number is, but he's saying, yeah,

371
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 6: we got money, and I'm glad we got money. Yeah,

372
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 6: and I want that. I want them, I want the resources,

373
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 6: and I want the pressure. Now again, easier to say

374
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 6: for the season. If you don't live up to it.

375
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 6: At the end of the season, we'll see how he

376
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 6: deals with it.

377
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be awesome that like point point period.

378
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 3: I think the fact that otaga Oway came back is

379
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 3: something that has gone way under the radar national Like

380
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: he's good who he's SEC preseason player of the Year, right,

381
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: and that's that's no question, no doubt about it. Is

382
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 3: there anyone else he's been in the conversation. I don't

383
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 3: think that there is not to.

384
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 5: The point of your nitpicking at that point.

385
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, So he's preseason SEC Player of the Year, preseason

386
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 3: first or second team All American, wherever you want to

387
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: put him. A guy that averaged sixteen a game for

388
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: Sweet sixteen team, right, And I just I feel like

389
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: when he decided that he was coming back to school

390
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 3: with something, I'm like, yeah, I'll take us back when

391
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: it should have been. Okay, this just changed what the

392
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 3: trajectory of Kentucky season could end up being. Now. The

393
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: one concern I do have is that it feels like

394
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: the best Pope teams get up and down space the

395
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: floor and have a lot of shooters, and I'm not

396
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: convinced that they have the shooting that you would normally

397
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: want for Mark Pope team, right, Like Jaalen Lowe. Part

398
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: of the he shot what was it, twenty six percent

399
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 3: from three last year. Part of that is probably the

400
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: difficulty of the shots that he was getting when he

401
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: was that pit. I think he's probably a better shooter

402
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: than twenty six. But oh take Alway as a guy.

403
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 3: He can make shots. I don't think you'd necessarily call

404
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: him a shooter. Right. How are they going to get

405
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 3: that floor spacing? How are they going to be able

406
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 3: to get that movement offensively? Who's going to replace some

407
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: of the shooters that they lost last year? Will that

408
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 3: work for Pope? But that's a I mean they go

409
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 3: what nine to ten deep? They got multiple guys that

410
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 3: could be all league guys.

411
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 5: Say eleven Twelvey, but it'll end up being nine ten.

412
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 3: They got multiple ball handlers. The other thing, and this

413
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: will be a more interesting uh dynamic, is how how

414
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 3: do they adjust when Jaden Quainton comes back? Right, because

415
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: he'll probably be healthy. We'll talk to him today and

416
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: get a get an answer from someone. But mid December January,

417
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 3: by the time he's like fulvo, yeah somewhere around there.

418
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: At that point, your rotation is set. At that point,

419
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: you have guys that are expecting a certain amount of

420
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 3: minutes at that point.

421
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 6: BG to keep people happy until that yeah, keep them happy?

422
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 3: Can you keep them happy? When he gets back and

423
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, the guy that was playing twenty

424
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: five minutes a game is now playing twelve minutes a

425
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 3: game of coming off the bench. Right if you're winning, Yeah,

426
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: if you're winning, it might not matter. But also that's

427
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: a big step down for players when they know that

428
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: if they perform well, it could mean and bea in

429
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 3: their future. It could mean a bigger payday next season.

430
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 3: So that that's gonna be something. I'm not saying he

431
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: can't do it, but that's gonna be something you got

432
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 3: to navigate when you get to that point.

433
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 5: See what kind of needle mover is Jaden Quainton's assuming

434
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 5: he plays at full strength and becomes kind of the

435
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 5: guy we're all hoping and dreaming.

436
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: I mean, look, he's he's big, he's athletic, he can

437
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 3: protect the rim, and he is a guy that can

438
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: be that like five man that is out on the

439
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: perimeter as a ball handler and a distributor and an

440
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: initiator that can do some of the things that Amari

441
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 3: Williams did last year. And when you pull that five

442
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 3: men away from the basket and you can use him

443
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 3: in offense and he can be the passer and you can

444
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 3: throw those back door cuts, that changes what Pope's offense

445
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: can be like how many times they get layups last

446
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 3: year just because of MARII Williams at the ball at

447
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 3: the top of the key. Yep, time to back cork

448
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: door cut at the right time, you got a layup

449
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 3: out of it. I think Quainton's can be that guy.

450
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 3: And if he's back and he's healthy, is a room

451
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 3: protector and he's effective defensively. He can rebound, you can

452
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 3: get out and go. There's a you know, grab and

453
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 3: go grabbing go five man. It changes a lot of things.

454
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 6: An elite the Arizona staff, I should read you what

455
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 6: I'm trying to find it right now.

456
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 3: What what I here?

457
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 6: Here's I'm going to read you from one of the

458
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 6: Arizona assistants.

459
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: What he said, Okay about Jayden and Quaintons. He's unbelievable.

460
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 6: Gets up every day and run a mile, would come

461
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,239
Speaker 6: back at night and shoot. Only drinks water, not on

462
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 6: social media, reads books, big time chess player, has never

463
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 6: smoke or.

464
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: Had to drink.

465
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, he've actually actually beat Pope and chess. I think

466
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: a couple of times. Think he has a winning record

467
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 4: against Pope and chess.

468
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 5: Which says something because Pope is brilliant, so.

469
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 4: We're about to run out of times, you guys. But

470
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 4: you know, we all to think about who's gonna play.

471
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 4: It's the question for most fancy to be who's gonna

472
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: win the four job, who's gonna he's gonna be at

473
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 4: the four? How do you guys foresee that working out.

474
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a rotation there. I think

475
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 4: you're gonna see lineups where you have Diabate there. I

476
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 4: think there's gonna be lineups where you see came Williams

477
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 4: playing at the four and you put more shooters out there.

478
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be lineups where you try to

479
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 4: go big and maybe play quaintance and big together when

480
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 4: they're both healthy. I think that you're gonna see who's

481
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: the shooter, the mountain Mamba, the mountain mamba, you.

482
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 5: Know, mounta Mama.

483
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna see him there at times as well.

484
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: So I think Diabante has got to play.

485
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 6: I just think he's he's a guy that Pope hasn't had.

486
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 6: You know, he's not a big time shooter, but man,

487
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 6: he is elite, defensively tough as you know what, good leader. Yeah,

488
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 6: I just I think he's gonna find a way to

489
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 6: get on the floor and stand the floor as long

490
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 6: as you have enough shooting around him. And like Rob said,

491
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 6: this is not a traditional Mark Pope team, but he's

492
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 6: got enough pieces that he can he can move it

493
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 6: around and get it to where he's he's got enough shooting.

494
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: On the floor.

495
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,560

00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: from midnight madness, I mean, sneaking up on us, and

529
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: you guys are doing your tour, going some different camps.

530
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 4: We said, you went to Purdue, you went to that

531
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 4: other school down the road a little bit. Are you

532
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 4: excited to see what this team, this Kentucky team can.

533
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 3: Do this year? I am, I am. I'm really excited

534
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 3: to see I'm very curious to see how the rotations

535
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: play out. I'm very curious to see how you play.

536
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 3: For example, Denzel and jailing together. Is there going to

537
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 3: be a situation where you have a starting point guard

538
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: in the backup point guard with those two. But I'll

539
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: be honest, Ryan, the biggest reason why I'm back here

540
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 3: again is that I didn't. I feel like I said

541
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 3: three words good.

542
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: Here, No kidd, I got thoughts man, he totally noted

543
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 4: your airtime there a little bit.

544
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: I think, Hey, this happened, uh, this happened yesterday too,

545
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: where I would ask a kid a question and Goodman

546
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 3: would answer the question.

547
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 5: You asked me a question that's true, answer the question

548
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 5: even a rob. What do you think about this, Jeff? Well,

549
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 5: clearly my turn here.

550
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: I just I love how he was like, you got

551
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: to respect your elders, and so there must be a

552
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: lot of respect, because as young as you look, that's

553
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: the opposite of what we got with Jeff over there.

554
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 3: All right, I'm done. I'm done. I'm done making fun.

555
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 5: Of you, all right, But I stepped up and make

556
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 5: fun of you because I watched your interview yesterday. Great

557
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 5: job with Pat Pat Kelsey, by the way, but point

558
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 5: guard you, how how do you when when he says

559
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 5: something as egregious as that you don't like your head

560
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 5: doesn't fall off, your your neck did? How does that happen?

561
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 7: It?

562
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 3: It took me a second to kind of register what,

563
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 3: like point guard, point guard?

564
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 7: You?

565
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 3: Is this point chucky? Is that? What is that look?

566
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 5: And I maybe MIKEL. Brown, I get definitely my.

567
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: Like I gave. I get what he's doing right, Like

568
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 3: he's he's trying to brand it as that. Sure, they're

569
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 3: probably targeting a point guard in the class of twenty

570
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 3: twenty six that they just wi would take anny that

571
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: they would like to have come in, that they would

572
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 3: like to have come in. So I think that that's

573
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 3: probably what he's doing. But I mean, listen, we spent

574
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 3: we had what fifteen years of cal here branding Kentucky

575
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 3: is whatever he wanted to brand it. This is what

576
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 3: coaches do, man, It's it's it's the world that we

577
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: live in.

578
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 4: And you hosted this show twice. You and John Fanta

579
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 4: hosted the show a couple of times, got to take calls,

580
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 4: so you're kind of familiar with kind of what we do.

581
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 4: You know, we're kind of fan boys, but I can't

582
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 4: help it get more than that. Ryan, come on, well,

583
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 4: you know I'm the dumb, dumb buddy dufi Is on

584
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 4: the show. But I can't help but get excited about

585
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 4: what this basketball season could be. I mean, I just

586
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 4: are we Are we just being too much of a

587
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 4: fan boy? Or is it a legit reason to be

588
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 4: excited about this team?

589
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 3: All the way? I say this all the time. The

590
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 3: best part about being a fan is the build, right.

591
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 3: The best part is when started the place where you

592
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: don't feel good about the program, and then that energy

593
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: comes back, and then you get a guy like Pope

594
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 3: coming in, and then you go through a year where

595
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 3: I don't know what you guys were expecting last season,

596
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. I wasn't expecting too much. I thought

597
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: like the tournament would be good. Then you're a top ten,

598
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 3: top fifteen team, you make it to the sweet sixteen.

599
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 3: Right now, you got a preseason top ten team, dream

600
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: have fun with them. And the best part is when

601
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 3: you were on that growth pattern, when you are getting

602
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: better and yeah there was reason to be excited. That's

603
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 3: when it's that the best And then eventually you're gonna

604
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 3: hit that peaker.

605
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 4: That's all I wanted to hear. That's exactly I wanted

606
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 4: to hear. They we're not crazy feeling this way.

607
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's kind of when you got the

608
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 5: foundation with year one, kind of the high floor. Guys

609
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 5: were just loading up on portal talent, you know, talent.

610
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 5: Now he could kind of hand pick the guys that fit,

611
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 5: the returning talent, the incoming freshman. Hey, let's go get

612
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 5: Andrea yellowed yellow bitch from Croatia. See where he fits in,

613
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 5: you know, setting the tone in your one to kind

614
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 5: of get to what I think Pope, you know, a

615
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 5: full a full recruiting period.

616
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 3: Work, was you a chance to dream?

617
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: Right?

618
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 3: You can say, oh man, how great is it gonna be?

619
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 3: If Mark Pope brns us back to the final four,

620
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 3: if he brings us back another championship, if he gets

621
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: us that next national championship banner that we can hang

622
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 3: and rub. Right. Whereas once you reach the end of

623
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 3: a coaching cycle, you're you're not excited. You're gonna watch

624

625
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 3: and you want them to win more than anything. But

626
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 3: at the end of the Calider. I can't imagine that

627
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 3: you were excited to go watch John Caller Perry coach

628
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 3: basketball team. It was painful at times. Yeah, they were

629
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 3: one and you happy, but it wasn't. It wasn't what

630
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,199

Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Bluegrass.

00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 7: When I heard that, when I heard that, I was like, oh,

00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 7: I'm all in and what a great trip. No, Tyler Hansborough.

651
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 7: I'm loving it fellas.

652
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: Has he replaced Goodman as public enemy number one?

653
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 5: Maybe for us for sure.

654
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt.

655
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, for many years, I'm like, just to see

656
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 4: Jeff Goodman sitting here on this show is a little

657
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 4: kind of surreal, a little bit Tyler next year.

658
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: No, no, I don't think you were there yet with him.

659
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 5: We're not very yet.

660
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 4: Now, Jack mentioned Yellovich, it's something you guys, you know,

661
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 4: didn't put on your rotation. Is he still a long

662
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 4: ways away? Or do you feel like that he because

663
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 4: the guy that could contribute this year.

664
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 3: I honestly don't really know. That's part of why I

665
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: like going on on these trips and why I like

666
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: getting onto these campus and being able to talk to

667
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: the coaches and kind of see it for yourself, because

668
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 3: all of these euro guys, it feels like with a

669
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 3: lot of them, you hear about how, oh he's older,

670
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 3: he just played professionally for this many years, he's this,

671
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 3: he's whatever, he has kind of NBA draft prospect. And

672
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: then they get here and it's not just the adjustment

673
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: to a different style of play. It's a completely different culture.

674
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 3: It's different food that you're eating, right, It's different last year. Yeah, right,

675
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: it's a different way of life. It's it's a different

676
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 3: language for a lot of these kids when you're coming in.

677
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: So I feel like the adjustment process is gonna be

678
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 3: much more difficult, and there's gonna be bigger swings. Right.

679
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: You're gonna see guys that are just maybe they already

680
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: speak English because they grew up in Lithuanian and they

681
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 3: were playing in Spain. Right, There's gonna be guys that

682
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 3: have already adjusted to living away from home, whereas someone

683
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: that maybe came from their local club when they were

684
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: nineteen years old and coming here, it's gonna be different. Right.

685
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: So it's very hard to get a feel for what

686
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 3: those European guys are gonna be when they adjust, because

687
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 3: so much of it is beyond just what they can

688
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 3: do as a basketball players. Right, How does that human

689
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 3: being fit when you have that big of a cultural

690
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 3: change in your life. So that's one of the things

691
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: that I'm gonna be looking for today when we get

692
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: to practice.

693
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 5: My prediction for you is when we talk after practice,

694
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 5: on your way out, on your way to the airport,

695
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 5: that's gonna be the first thing you bring up. So,

696
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 5: whoa I didn't realize because I've heard great things about Yellowvich.

697
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 5: I think he's kind if we look at what Andrew

698
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 5: Carr was for the team last year in terms of role,

699
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 5: I think that's kind of what they're hoping he becomes,

700
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 5: maybe even a better version of that. So I'm excited

701
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 5: for you to see what Yellowich looks like and maybe

702
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 5: talk to him. I mean, we haven't even gotten to

703
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 5: meet that kid yet.

704
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 4: So produce the first exhibition game. They're, like you said,

705
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: already predicting championship or bust. It could be the most

706
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 4: hyped up exhibition game in the history of college basketball.

707
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 4: And they come here to play Kentucky at Uperna. It'll

708
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 4: be sold out packed for an exhibition game.

709
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: You know what I love about that is that Painter

710
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 3: said the reason why he's doing that is because he

711
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 3: wants to throw his guys into the fire. Basically, like,

712
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: let's let's go show him the most difficult experience that

713
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 3: they can have as a as as a college basketball player,

714
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 3: and let's like basically see what they got, right, Let's

715
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 3: see where they're gonna be able to handle that. Let's

716
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 3: get that out of the way at the start of

717
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 3: the season, so that when you actually play the games

718
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 3: that matter, you'll be able to it won't be as bad.

719
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 3: So he's like, yeah, we're going into the Hornets Nest.

720
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: We're going interrupt. Didn't they play at bud Walton last year? Right?

721
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 3: I think they did. Yeah, He's like, my exhibition games,

722
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: don't let's go. Let's let's let's go see how how

723
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 3: badly we can get our I'm trying not to curse.

724
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: Here are are tails whipped? See that see that some

725
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: of us are professional and.

726
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 5: Uh. In terms of the returning talent, you can't say

727
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 5: otaka away. Is there a player that you're most looking

728
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 5: forward to saying, hey, I'm expecting a Colin Chandler jump

729
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 5: or a Trent No Mountain Mamba?

730
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 3: What?

731
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,959
Speaker 5: What is there a guy that you're kind of, you know,

732
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 5: keeping a close eye on to say, hey, he could

733
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 5: be the breakout cand that we're waiting for for the wildcouts.

734
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see what Colin Chandler can be. You know,

735
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: he had the two years off and he's back and

736
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 3: he can shoot, and he's he can kind of fill

737
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 3: some of those roles. I really want to see something

738
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: out of BG. You know, he's a guy that was.

739
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 3: He was like a top twenty five five star kid, right.

740
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 5: Top thirty McDonald's burger boy though.

741
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's big, he's athletic. You saw some flashes

742
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: last year where he kind of started to figure it

743
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: out a little bit at that five spot, right, And

744
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: I think with him, it's how well can he process

745
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: the game? How well can he understand Okay, when I

746
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: am here and there's this action on the week's side

747
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 3: of the floor, this is where the ball is going

748
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 3: to be open. This is where I have an opportunity

749
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 3: to attack. This is where the player I have to

750
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: make is And I think Mari Williams picked that up

751
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: really quickly last year, and I think that by the

752
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 3: end of the year we saw it a little bit

753
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: out of BG. Yeah. And when you have that much

754
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: talent and you have a coach that can get you

755
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 3: to the point where you start understanding what you're supposed

756
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 3: to be doing. He is a guy that I think

757
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 3: can give you a little bit of a ceiling.

758
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 4: About Jasper Johnson because he's a guy obviously we grew

759
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 4: up here, we all know, we all seen him since

760
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 4: place and he was elementary school. He has high expectations

761
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 4: from a lot of fashion.

762
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: Him play in elementary school. Well, he's the same age

763
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: as my son.

764
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 4: Oh my son played against him forever.

765
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 5: Out of context that.

766
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: I was scouting this kid when he was in the.

767
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 5: Fifth grade, I knew as a first grader man he

768
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 5: just had that hit factor.

769
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 4: So a lot of people expect him to be a

770
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 4: guy that's gonna maybe surprise people and get on the

771
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 4: floor lot this year.

772
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 3: Do you see that? I like Jasper, I think that

773
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 3: when you are in this day and age, the only

774
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 3: freshmen that are coming in and going to significantly impact

775
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 3: the team to the point where they're like, okay, like

776
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 3: he's a difference maker, are gonna be the guys that

777
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: are like the top two, three, four guys in each class,

778
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 3: and then beyond that, you're gonna have some good role players,

779
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 3: right Like, I think that when you have anil keeping

780
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: guys around longer, when you are bringing in transfers that

781
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: are twenty two to twenty three, twenty four years old,

782
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: and that's happening everywhere across the high major level of

783
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: college basketball, right I think that asking an eighteen year

784
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 3: old to come in to a program and compete with

785
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 3: guys four or five, six years older than him. It's tough.

786
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 3: It's a hard thing to do. Yeah, So with freshmen,

787
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 3: I'm always gonna be like, give it time. It's gonna

788
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: take a little bit a while, but the talent is there.

789
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: Like when you're his size and you got his ability

790
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 3: on the ball and he could score lefty. There's just

791
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 3: something about lefties that it feels like they're always that

792
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 3: much more fun to watch. Were you a lefty?

793
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 5: No?

794
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: I was not. I wish I was. Maybe I would

795
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 3: have been good. Where is it?

796
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 6: Did you?

797
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 3: Where did you play? Vassar College? Faster? That's your right,

798
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 3: faster Division III school. What's what's the opposite of a powerhouse? I?

799
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: By the way, I have a I have a record

800
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 3: at A at Vassar College, and it is it's some

801
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 3: for the basketball team. I'm the only player that's ever

802
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 3: gotten kicked off the team twice. What did you do? Yeah,

803
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 3: let's just say I was really good at college.

804
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 4: He is Rob Doster there in the field of sixty

Speaker 4: to Jeff, Jeff Goodman and Rob Dostro. How good with

825
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 4: those guys. I mean it's weird, man.

826
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 5: I'm just sitting here with all the KSR stuff and

827
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 5: then having Jeff Goodman's face right next to me is

828
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 5: It's like these things don't belong.

829
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 4: But it feels so right, you know, because he was

830
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 4: kind of public enemy number one, not just for the fans,

831
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 4: but for ks R two for a long time.

832
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 5: We're not on good terms for a very long time.

833
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 5: Just and good for him being a good sport to

834
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 5: just kind of say, hey, it's a new era for

835
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 5: all of us. It was weird. It was a weird

836
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 5: time in the past. We know, we acknowledge that. But

837
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 5: we can just let bygones be bygones, move past the past,

838
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 5: and you know, I have a bright future together now

839
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 5: it's co workers.

840
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

841
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 4: Now, if you're part of the ON three team, you

842
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 4: and I were talking during the break and it went

843
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 4: by like super fast that first thirty minutes, just like

844
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 4: flew by. I feel like I've got so much more

845
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 4: I want to talk to him about, but time just disappeared.

846
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm glad that we'll kind of get a

847
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 5: little post practice recap and again, they're gonna be at

848
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 5: the Joe Craft Center. They're gonna be interviewing Mark Pope,

849
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 5: They're gonna be having the whole roster be coming through that.

850
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 5: If you watched what they did yesterday with Pat Kelsey,

851
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 5: that it was the interview with the head coach and

852
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 5: then had basically every single player on the Louisville roster

853
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 5: come through. It's gonna be a very similar format today.

854
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 5: So should get a ton of great intel from from

855
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 5: the Joe Craft Center today.

856
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 4: So you're gonna be outside on the sidewalk, Mike in hand.

857
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 4: Steven's gonna be there with the camera and you're gonna

858
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 4: get him for your sources, say podcast.

859
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 3: Why they wait on their uber.

860
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a tight squeeze because they have a

861
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 5: flight at seven fifteen, so to for by the time

862
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 5: they get out of practice, hoping that there's no traffic,

863
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 5: hoping that the TSA line isn't too bad. I've never

864
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 5: had a horrible experience. Again, we got to knock on

865
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 5: wood whatever, because I do not want them to miss

866
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 5: their flight. But if all goes as planned, we should

867
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 5: get some immediately after the fact takeaways from from the

868
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 5: field sixty eight guys.

869
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 4: As long as the uber like it's caught in traffic,

870
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: the longer you get to ask them questions about what

871
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 4: they saw. That's what it's kind of where we're interviewing

872
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 4: before practice. I want to know what they say after

873
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 4: they see practice.

874
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 5: That's that's why that's.

875
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 3: Why sorts of say podcast is doing that.

876
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 5: That's why we're doing it.

877
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 3: So how can people see the sources of say this

878
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 3: this episode how they see it?

879
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 5: Stephen Hope sitting next to us, We'll hopefully have everything

880
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 5: set up with the pre recorded segment and then we'll

881
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 5: be going live right at eight o'clock on.

882
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 4: The gotcha, what was your biggest takeaway about what they

883
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 4: said about this basketball team that.

884
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 5: Jayden The quote from from the Arizona State staff about

885
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 5: Jaden quaints you know, the off the record, unfiltered, just

886
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 5: you know, a real takeaway of their experience with Jaden

887
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 5: Quaintans before he got to Kentucky. Because it's everything I

888
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 5: had heard about Jayden as well. Awesome kid coming from

889
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 5: a great family that you know, really you know, no drinking,

890
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 5: only drinking water, you know, no smoking none, all of

891
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 5: an unbelievable kid, on top of being a generational basketball town.

892
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 4: True, Shannon, So what do you buy about this? They

893
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 4: say Jaden Quaint's has gained forty pounds already.

894
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 5: It's I don't think that's necessarily the truth. I think

895
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 5: it's a combination of what he it the number, the

896
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 5: pre number. If I had to guess was the Hey,

897
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 5: this is what he was first when he stepped foot

898
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 5: on campus at Arizona State, whatever he gained there, and

899
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 5: then another full offseason. So I think that's like a

900
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 5: two year sample size that we're working with, not a hey.

901
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 5: Over eight weeks in Lexington, the strength, strength and conditioning

902
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 5: staff put forty pounds of good weight on this kid.

903
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 5: I don't think that's a reality, but things are going

904
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 5: very very well. Just the videos and clips that I've

905
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 5: gotten in seeing with my own two eyes of how

906
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 5: he's progressing, Jade looks good and I think he is

907
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 5: definitely a needle mover for what this team could be.

908
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 5: And in terms of that final four upside we were

909
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 5: talking about earlier.

910
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 4: Shannon, they're like the wrestling move, you know, he said

911
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 4: the one dude weighs seven hundred pounds. They're saying jayde

912
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 4: and Quayton has gained forty pounds and Likeael, you.

913
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 2: Know, Richie and I were talking about this a little

914
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: bit on the pre show today. If you've gained forty pounds,

915
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a good thing. I don't think

916
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 2: you need to gain four. I mean, if you're getting

917
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: forty pounds of muscle. And again, maybe we're talking about

918
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: two years and that's that's more understandable. But if you

919
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 2: put on forty pounds in the off season, that's not

920
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 2: going to be all muscle. And you know, I'm expecting

921
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: him to come back and look like Zion if.

922
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 3: That were the case.

923
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think you're probably right Jack and saying

924
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: it's probably two years and not one year. That would

925
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: that would make more sense.

926
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 4: And before we go to the break, we need to say,

927
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 4: we need to say something here. We all kind of

928
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,560
