Speaker 4: Michael Bennett. I went to the press conference just a
Speaker 4: few minutes ago because Will talked to all of the
Speaker 4: media at nine to thirty packed house. Most people I've
Speaker 4: seen in there, probably Ryan, the most people I've seen
Speaker 4: in there since COVID. You can tell there's a lot
Speaker 4: of interest in what will Stein has to say.
Speaker 9: Ye, new era underway, you know, it begins right now
Speaker 9: and there, but it's excited about what will Stein's bringing
Speaker 9: to the table for the football team.
Speaker 4: So were you in there, No, I mean there was,
Speaker 4: it was almost that room was almost two packed.
Speaker 3: I don't know that.
Speaker 4: I I mean, I would say the last couple of
Speaker 4: years the media day was a little anemic when it
Speaker 4: came to attendance.
Speaker 3: Not today. Everybody and their brothers out there.
Speaker 9: Everybody wants to hear what this guy we're gonna bring
Speaker 9: to the table this year.
Speaker 3: He wasn't.
Speaker 4: He didn't give quite as many. He didn't Bravado quotes.
Speaker 4: I tried to. I tried to, like tried to get
Speaker 4: him one. But I think maybe he he's like, I
Speaker 4: did my thing.
Speaker 3: We're good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's he's already made his mark on the Talking season.
Speaker 7: He and Luckett had a little friendly banter remembering that comment.
Speaker 7: But you know, even though he's been here seven months now,
Speaker 7: it was weird not seeing the old redhead there. It's
Speaker 7: really I feel like, even though I've already been locked
Speaker 7: in already, just being here and seeing this new era
Speaker 7: looking out here. It's all these newer coaches we haven't
Speaker 7: met yet. Yeah, I mean it is Stone's out here somewhere.
Speaker 4: First of all, the actual name Colston Price, Sultan Price,
Speaker 4: Colton Price.
Speaker 3: But but he goes by Carter stuff.
Speaker 7: I mean, he may we can find out that's the
Speaker 7: kid from Baylor, right, Yeah, the Center.
Speaker 4: Okay, so he's he's coming on here, Okay, he's just
Speaker 4: don't call him Carson or.
Speaker 6: You called him Carter carter Stone.
Speaker 7: Calton Pulton from Baylor. Okay, I don't want to operated
Speaker 7: player on the video game.
Speaker 3: I don't want you to screw up. Maybe there is
Speaker 3: a Carter Stone, but you know you look at.
Speaker 4: At the field, Ryan, I mean, we don't know who
Speaker 4: these people are. We don't know the coaches, We really
Speaker 4: don't know the players. It's it is like it's like,
Speaker 4: who where did all these aliens come from?
Speaker 3: And they put them in UK uniforms. It's it's gonna
Speaker 3: be it's gonna take some adjusting.
Speaker 9: I didn't Kenny Minch you could walk through here unless
Speaker 9: he's got to know.
Speaker 3: Where he's gonna walk through here.
Speaker 9: Unless he's got number three on his jersey. I don't
Speaker 9: know if I would recognize him. It's time we get
Speaker 9: to know these guys. And I'm glad we get a
Speaker 9: visit with him today.
Speaker 8: I walked in with Matt Pontoskie him.
Speaker 3: So he's here.
Speaker 8: We walked in together.
Speaker 4: Okay, fully padded unifour now so POITASKI I mean the
Speaker 4: red's too late.
Speaker 3: It's all right.
Speaker 8: I think I think it's too late.
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean they had announced that, but him seem right.
Speaker 4: Now there is number nine, Matt Ponitowski got, he's got,
Speaker 4: he's talking to people, so he's a fan favored.
Speaker 7: We if they were doing like the walk in photos
Speaker 7: like they do walking into the parking lot, we would
Speaker 7: have been at the same shot. We were like stride
Speaker 7: for stride coming in and fell big time.
Speaker 4: Well there he is, all right, so let's let's let's
Speaker 4: do this. I mean, we're gonna have will On here
Speaker 4: in just a couple of minutes. Let's go over just
Speaker 4: a couple of pieces of news that I think are
Speaker 4: important for the football discussion today.
Speaker 3: This past weekend.
Speaker 4: You know, I spent a lot of time Friday talking
Speaker 4: about the college sports bill and what may or at
Speaker 4: the time it looked like may not happen, and then
Speaker 4: things went nuts. Apparently, according to reports, it is amazing
Speaker 4: how America operates in twenty twenty six, Isn't it Like
Speaker 4: it's just amazing how America operates. Apparently Donald Trump threatened
Speaker 4: to tweet that the SEC and Big TENK comissioner needed
Speaker 4: to be fired.
Speaker 8: Where these on his paid subscription tweets.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but he was gonna, he said, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna tweet that out, and I guess they got scared.
Speaker 4: I don't really know why, but I guess they did.
Speaker 4: And so apparently they went into the night. And now
Speaker 4: there is a bill for college sports that the SEC
Speaker 4: and Big Ten commissioners have signed on to, which means
Speaker 4: there's a pretty good chance it will pass, but it's
Speaker 4: not certain because Tommy Tuberville, who's the former Auburn coach,
Speaker 4: it's a senator. He is still against it and he
Speaker 4: is trying to keep who knows but the most. So
Speaker 4: that's one step of things that happened. But the most
Speaker 4: important thing that happened is a judge in Colorado, Ryan,
Speaker 4: I don't know if you kept up with your Colorado
Speaker 4: District Court ruling missed on that one.
Speaker 3: She ruled that all.
Speaker 4: Fifth year seniors are now eligible, so basically Denzel Aberdeen's
Speaker 4: of the world. But then she clara her ruling yesterday
Speaker 4: and said they are eligible if they.
Speaker 3: Entered the transfer portal.
Speaker 4: And remember a lot of them probably didn't enter the
Speaker 4: transfer portal because they didn't think they were gonna have
Speaker 4: a chance to play right or essentially, and they can't
Speaker 4: have signed an NBA or NFL contract. And if they
Speaker 4: didn't enter the transfer portal. They can only come back
Speaker 4: to the school that they went to.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: So, by the way, Denzel Aberdeen looks like the smartest
Speaker 4: dude in the world because he.
Speaker 3: Entered the portal.
Speaker 9: And yeah, community of Florida.
Speaker 3: Comm into Florida, so he will be eligible.
Speaker 4: So for us that both that may I want to
Speaker 4: talk about football specifically.
Speaker 3: Basketball is a different topic.
Speaker 9: Alexafari, Yeah, could come back on the field on media
Speaker 9: da right.
Speaker 4: And because he didn't enter the portal, if he wants
Speaker 4: to come back, this is the only place he can play,
Speaker 4: at least according.
Speaker 3: To the rule.
Speaker 7: Right now, wouldn't you add him yesterday? Yeah, And that's
Speaker 7: a position they could use him. I mean, he was
Speaker 7: a star on the defense the last couple of years.
Speaker 7: I think he immediately is like Todd Bryant's status make
Speaker 7: him a captain even though he's late getting here in
Speaker 7: the summer.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're well, I'm gonna ask him this
Speaker 4: when he sits here. If you're well, well, you're calling
Speaker 4: Alex Safari Friday last Friday night when the Ruins you do.
Speaker 4: He's a guy that really he's in the Packers camp,
Speaker 4: but he did not sign a sign so like he
Speaker 4: I mean, he signed whatever the training camp thing is,
Speaker 4: but that is technically not a professional deal. So he,
Speaker 4: as I read the rules today, could come back.
Speaker 9: I think you'd welcome him back. I mean, what practice
Speaker 9: just started just a couple days ago. He hasn't missed
Speaker 9: hardly anything.
Speaker 4: Well, he would be wouldn't he be our best defender,
Speaker 4: our second best behind Todd bro He's been playing since
Speaker 4: he was a freshman, changed positions a little bit, but yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean he was one of the stars at the
Speaker 4: end of the Stoops era.
Speaker 3: And could really just all of a sudden, Your defense.
Speaker 9: Looks like changes like that.
Speaker 3: It changes like that, doesn't it you.
Speaker 4: I don't know who this woman, It wasn't Colorado, but
Speaker 4: like you bring her here as a guest of honor?
Speaker 8: Don't you let her?
Speaker 5: Do?
Speaker 7: We still have the big blue drum er? Make her
Speaker 7: why or something? He would be a huge addition. The
Speaker 7: defense already looks to be pretty good. If there's some
Speaker 7: hole they could use some help at linebacker replayed, and
Speaker 7: then the experience he already has with the team in
Speaker 7: the SEC that'd be huge addition.
Speaker 9: He get a good nil deal, probably make more money
Speaker 9: coming back than you.
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, you know you would make the team,
Speaker 4: which you don't necessarily know if you're him in Green Bay.
Speaker 3: You're right, I mean he may, but he may not.
Speaker 4: So I think that and if that's gonna happen tho,
Speaker 4: it's probably gonna happen in the next couple of days. So
Speaker 4: like you may, you may add Alexafari. All right, So
Speaker 4: that's the news East type. Just looking out there on
Speaker 4: the field. You look at this group of guys. I
Speaker 4: feel like we have a version of this conversation all
Speaker 4: the time. Look at this group of guys. What do
Speaker 4: you see? Just big picture. There's Kenny Minshew right there. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, is this a group that you looks like?
Speaker 4: Dudes that can compete in the SEC? I mean I'm
Speaker 4: looking at the offensive line picture. They certainly can. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that offensive line picture, which just got taken a couple
Speaker 4: of minutes ago, look like the hosses Now.
Speaker 9: Plcorol when he was on the other day, he said,
Speaker 9: you look at this off at the line. Those are
Speaker 9: NFL guys. Those are guys that are big enough and
Speaker 9: strong enough. I'm gonna play on Sunday. And he's got
Speaker 9: two or three of those guys. That are lined up
Speaker 9: right now.
Speaker 3: Yes, And I mean you could see that on the
Speaker 3: definitely picture.
Speaker 7: We're usually on the field and there's usually a moment
Speaker 7: where someone walks by us where we're like, who the
Speaker 7: heck is that?
Speaker 3: As every year.
Speaker 7: This year our angles a little different, but the line
Speaker 7: even from here, there's no question big Tiger from Ohio
Speaker 7: State is massive.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 7: Your boy Carson Stone, who draws so well out there
Speaker 7: being a leader. I've seen a lot of people right here.
Speaker 7: It's not just quarterbacks. They're all gathered around minshe and
Speaker 7: he's talking mines.
Speaker 4: Again this is with no science, but he does look
Speaker 4: like a leader, like he he's talking like I did
Speaker 4: trying to organize Billy's bachelor party the other nights as people,
Speaker 4: you know, by seven point fifteen, Mario was already wondering off, uh,
Speaker 4: because he had four shots in seconds. He was on
Speaker 4: a different pace than I don't know what his pace was.
Speaker 4: It was not all gas, no Brad, he was the hair.
Speaker 4: He was not the tortoise on on Friday. But the
Speaker 4: only thing again, if you're just visualizing the receivers, no
Speaker 4: really tall ones.
Speaker 7: And but that's a position. We like a lot of
Speaker 7: the names he got, but there's an opening to be
Speaker 7: the guy. I mean, there's not a there's a few
Speaker 7: people we think we'll we'll stand out, but overall it's
Speaker 7: a group that anyone could step up and earn more snaps.
Speaker 9: DJ Miller the guy right, he was right there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So you know, this will be an interesting day.
Speaker 4: I think by the end of today we're gonna learn.
Speaker 4: I think we'll learn. This is gonna be the most
Speaker 4: comfortable Wills this first time. Will and I like we've
Speaker 4: sat in the same room with him. He's always been
Speaker 4: by my phone, by zoom and phone. So we're gonna
Speaker 4: be sitting next to him. We're gonna meet Kenny Minsche,
Speaker 4: We're gonna meet Carson Price.
Speaker 7: Maybe bring Colton with him, since Colton's probably gonna be
Speaker 7: playing more than Carson. I don't know if there's a
Speaker 7: Carson on the team Dorris Stone, but but they actually
Speaker 7: you know why.
Speaker 5: I did that.
Speaker 3: We have an OVW wrustler I think named Carson and stuff.
Speaker 3: There you go, what position would he play?
Speaker 8: I'm still had people.
Speaker 3: Dude, he's got muscles. I don't know if he can uh,
Speaker 3: if he can draw. Hey, if I'm nine two eight
Speaker 3: twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 4: We're gonna take an early break right here so we
Speaker 4: can maximize our time with Will Tell, Adam Luckett and Nick.
Speaker 3: Rouse to wrap it up. Wrap it up.
Speaker 4: That's enough, guys, and uh we'll bring him over here.
Speaker 4: We'll take a break and be right back. This is
Speaker 4: Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. All right,
Speaker 4: we are now here with Will Stein joining us. First
Speaker 4: time we've gotten to have you in person. We've had
Speaker 4: you on the phone.
Speaker 3: Nice to see you. You just met the crew here.
Speaker 6: I know, I love it.
Speaker 4: Uh, this is this is I remember coaches always say
Speaker 4: this is like their favorite day, right, like, well maybe
Speaker 4: not picture day, but the official like getting practice going
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 10: I mean we've been talking to talk for a long
Speaker 10: time now now it's truly time to walk the walk
Speaker 10: and they go out there and practice and see our
Speaker 10: team and this roster that we've assembled and let our
Speaker 10: guys go coach their ass off and like had a
Speaker 10: lot of fun doing it.
Speaker 6: So I'm fired up.
Speaker 10: You know, the offseason did evaporate very quickly, but I
Speaker 10: think you know, this is my element, being able to
Speaker 10: coach football and to be around the guys.
Speaker 4: Now you when I look at these guys out here,
Speaker 4: complete no substance visual test. The first thing that looks
Speaker 4: in my mind is, man, that offensive line is big.
Speaker 6: They're very big. They're very big.
Speaker 10: I know they got a lot of starts to them,
Speaker 10: they got a lot of production. And you know, I
Speaker 10: know I've mentioned certain names, but I do like the
Speaker 10: depth in that room too. There's some other players like
Speaker 10: like Jordan Knox, like Big Mark, like Max Anderson, like
Speaker 10: even you know Hayes, you know a guy that was
Speaker 10: here last year, and you know it can be really
Speaker 10: quality winning football players. Because to me, the biggest indicative
Speaker 10: of a successful program to truly have strength in numbers,
Speaker 10: to have depth, to be able to go make a
Speaker 10: run in October November where those games really turn into
Speaker 10: are you going to the playoffs or not?
Speaker 4: On a scale of zero to one hundred, if you
Speaker 4: were thinking about depth, just depth, where do you think
Speaker 4: you are this year?
Speaker 3: I know your goal will one day to be one hundred.
Speaker 3: What do you think you are?
Speaker 6: Yeah, depth this year?
Speaker 10: I would say probably seventy five, you know, to where
Speaker 10: like we have a really good ones, some really good
Speaker 10: immediate twos. But you got to think about when I
Speaker 10: got here. The next day was signing day for high school,
Speaker 10: which high school recruiting. Yes, you can get some guys
Speaker 10: that come and play right away, but that's where you
Speaker 10: build your roster. I think we ended up with ten guys, yeah,
Speaker 10: you know, and there was virtually zero offensive linment. Jordan
Speaker 10: Knox was one of them, which is really I'm glad.
Speaker 6: He was here.
Speaker 10: But other than that, there wasn't really any alignment. The
Speaker 10: biggest depth that happened in that first signing class was
Speaker 10: white out, Like I thought that was from the previous staff.
Speaker 10: Some really good quality players. I think some under the
Speaker 10: radar players that I think you're going to see them
Speaker 10: out there on Saturdays for US. But in terms of
Speaker 10: like D line, some other spots that you just have
Speaker 10: to build from the high school ranks. That is why
Speaker 10: you look at our twenty seven class right now, what
Speaker 10: we've really strategized to be a main focus for US
Speaker 10: is offensive and defensive line.
Speaker 4: I've been very impressed what you've been able to do
Speaker 4: in next year's recruiting class. I remember a previous administration.
Speaker 4: What's saying you know in that first summer, if you're
Speaker 4: a good recruiter, you can sell what you did at
Speaker 4: the other schools. After the first year, you have to
Speaker 4: show them what you do at this school. Do you
Speaker 4: agree with that?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: The biggest way to sign recruits is to win football games.
Speaker 6: It just is.
Speaker 10: And you know, you can sell a vision like you're
Speaker 10: talking about, you can sell all this stuff.
Speaker 6: But it's ultimately like, what are you doing for me now, coach?
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 10: So it's about going out there and improving every single
Speaker 10: Saturday to where these guys that are looking at their
Speaker 10: program that they're going to join, that they know that
Speaker 10: what Coach Stein, Coach Bateman, Sloan Fleming, all these coaches
Speaker 10: have been telling us it is actually happening. So, yeah,
Speaker 10: that the best way to sign players is to go
Speaker 10: out there and perform on Saturdays.
Speaker 3: You lost your GM. Was that unexpected for sure? You know?
Speaker 10: And I'm really excited about Pete. You know, Pete's a
Speaker 10: guy I'm known for eighteen years. She's not just a friend,
Speaker 10: but this guy is exceptional in his job, you know,
Speaker 10: and his last body basically was that for them.
Speaker 6: He's got real experience.
Speaker 3: We're gonna get it.
Speaker 11: We're gonna get about that the day to day, you know,
Speaker 11: the day to day, the operation ready.
Speaker 10: You know, that's why I'm off Twitter. That's how about
Speaker 10: you know, I don't I don't worry about all that stuff.
Speaker 10: Worry about our guys. But no, Pete's an excellent He
Speaker 10: was one of my first hires too, you know, so
Speaker 10: he's he's more than capable of this role. And you know,
Speaker 10: the sun rose the next day and we just kept
Speaker 10: And that's the testament to our program, the people in
Speaker 10: our program, And that's life. You know, stuff happens and
Speaker 10: you just move.
Speaker 3: On, all right.
Speaker 4: So I gotta ask you a couple of specific questions.
Speaker 4: If you can't comment, I totally understand. But you know,
Speaker 4: the Colorado decision that comes Friday, there's still some questions about.
Speaker 3: Who will be eligible on it and who will not.
Speaker 4: But but one group that seems like they definitely will
Speaker 4: be eligible are players who have not signed a pro
Speaker 4: contract who played at their school last year. The name
Speaker 4: that immediately jumps out and Drew and I were talking
Speaker 4: about is Alex Afari.
Speaker 3: Have you had contact with him? Have not?
Speaker 10: But there are there's gonna be a group of guys
Speaker 10: that were here last year that if this actually happens,
Speaker 10: if I can enhance the roster and make us better.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna do it, okay, I am. You know, there's
Speaker 10: just it's not as easy as like, yep, do it.
Speaker 3: You know, there's more.
Speaker 10: There's a process because what I don't want to do
Speaker 10: is look up and you're playing in an eligible player
Speaker 10: and then there's stuff like that that can happen. So
Speaker 10: I think we're still figuring everything out. And the good
Speaker 10: thing about our people in this administration and the people
Speaker 10: above me, like they're in the same boat if it's
Speaker 10: gonna make us better to win football games, and they're
Speaker 10: good people.
Speaker 4: But if you get somebody in the administration saying to you,
Speaker 4: we think those guys you're good to go, there might
Speaker 4: be one or two you're interested in for sure.
Speaker 10: If we can make it work and we can stay
Speaker 10: within our roster limits and all that stuff, like I
Speaker 10: will do whatever I can to make sure that we
Speaker 10: are playing our best football on Saturdays. So but like
Speaker 10: you mentioned, there's some steps still that we're we're sorting
Speaker 10: out and figuring out. And it's like a daily new information.
Speaker 4: Is gonna have to say because there are gonna be
Speaker 4: people who want to put people on the on the
Speaker 4: field and you can't in October to tell them they.
Speaker 3: Can't do it.
Speaker 10: You can look up in eight SEC teams they're doing
Speaker 10: it and then just say, hey, all eight of you
Speaker 10: guys are ineligible.
Speaker 6: All those ones are vacated, Like you can't do that.
Speaker 7: You're right, The talk and excitement around you is mostly offense, rightfully,
Speaker 7: So that's what you coached. We haven't heard a lot
Speaker 7: about the defense, but you've many times you want to
Speaker 7: be a lot more aggressive. What can that potentially look
Speaker 7: like and how you're going to sche pick.
Speaker 10: Well, I mean you look at what Jay's done in
Speaker 10: his past, when he has people that know his style.
Speaker 10: That was important to me when I hired Jay that
Speaker 10: there's people in that room that I have vetted, not
Speaker 10: just Jay's vetted and said, hey, we got to hire
Speaker 10: this guy because he knows my defense. Like I interviewed
Speaker 10: Jay will tell you, I'll interviewed a lot of people
Speaker 10: for safeties, a lot of people for corners, and just
Speaker 10: so I make sure that I'm bringing in the best
Speaker 10: possible candidates for those jobs. But when Jay's had his people,
Speaker 10: I mean you look at what he did at Army,
Speaker 10: what he did at Ball State, Like that's when he's
Speaker 10: at his best because Jay is aggressive. Jay coaches aggressive,
Speaker 10: Jay j plans aggressively. And that's what I'm excited about
Speaker 10: for us, you know, as a program, is that we
Speaker 10: have a guy that knows how to go win at
Speaker 10: the highest level in this league. He's been great on
Speaker 10: third downs. But Jay, just like me, just like our
Speaker 10: entire staff, like he's tried to grow. He knows that
Speaker 10: what he did at A and M doesn't just mean
Speaker 10: that you do the exact same at Kentucky. Just like
Speaker 10: what we did at Oregon doesn't mean we do the
Speaker 10: exact same thing at Kentucky. We have to do it's
Speaker 10: best for our players. And if it's best to play
Speaker 10: some vision defense and keep it in front at times,
Speaker 10: We're gonna do that. If it's best to blitz and
Speaker 10: have multiple packages to get out for the quarterback, we'll
Speaker 10: do that. I mean, that's one thing with our team,
Speaker 10: with our system, we will do whatever we have to
Speaker 10: do to win a game. Like if I gotta line
Speaker 10: up in the damn wing tea to get yards, I.
Speaker 3: Will do it. There are fans of ours.
Speaker 9: Still, Ryan lem take his sports radio yes, sir and Tom Yes.
Speaker 9: And I have a will Stein autographed shirt on today,
Speaker 9: Did I sign that you signed it?
Speaker 6: Sign?
Speaker 3: Your mom gave it to me when we.
Speaker 9: Did that show at Palm Miller four out the Sisty Cakes.
Speaker 9: She gave me this autographed shirt of view somebody.
Speaker 6: I'll take it.
Speaker 10: So the shirts that she brings to my house, who
Speaker 10: I think are going to other people, they just go
Speaker 10: to me.
Speaker 5: It's not for charity.
Speaker 3: Ryan, he is the chair.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So you know people, I think the perception is
Speaker 9: your offense is like kind of an air raid offense.
Speaker 9: Yet you've had a thousand yard rushers in your offense.
Speaker 9: Your top two running backs in the running back room
Speaker 9: right now, both coming big names but kind of coming
Speaker 9: off injuries.
Speaker 3: Where are we.
Speaker 6: With those two guys?
Speaker 9: And will you have a thousand yard rusher this year?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 4: I don't know what is with you when you sit
Speaker 4: in that chair, it's like you go back fifteen years
Speaker 4: to when you were a.
Speaker 6: General of it. Bring bring the question.
Speaker 3: Down, take that chair into the studio.
Speaker 6: I don't know if Tom would have asked me that.
Speaker 10: But number one, your first question like we're really not
Speaker 10: air raid Okay, like we have air raid principles, but
Speaker 10: guess what every offense and the damn world has air
Speaker 10: raid principles. Now, that is arguably one of the biggest
Speaker 10: changes in modern college football, and even in the NFL was
Speaker 10: the air raid offense. And for it to start here
Speaker 10: at UK in terms of Major Division one football is
Speaker 10: pretty cool to me. We do have principles the air way,
Speaker 10: We have principles of spread, principles of the you know,
Speaker 10: the art Brills, wide splits. We also have a lot
Speaker 10: of Pro style influence as well. So I like to
Speaker 10: think like we're very multiple and in our approach with
Speaker 10: our personnel sets, with our tempos, with our procedures, with
Speaker 10: our actual schemes. You mentioned the running back position. It
Speaker 10: is as important as any any position on our team.
Speaker 10: I love throwing the ball. I love having a bunch
Speaker 10: of passing yards, but what wins at this level is
Speaker 10: the ability to control the line of scrimmage on both
Speaker 10: sides of the ball.
Speaker 6: You have to be able to run.
Speaker 10: I think about last year with Iowa, it's raining cats
Speaker 10: and dogs and we had to go run the win.
Speaker 10: We rushed for two hundred and sixty yards in a
Speaker 10: game that you couldn't throw. So we have to have
Speaker 10: great balance. Having a great running back room is huge,
Speaker 10: all right, we're.
Speaker 3: Gonna take a break.
Speaker 4: Whill's gonna stay through the commercial show, and we're gonna
Speaker 4: do some more and also some questions I have from fans.
Speaker 3: Who just want to get to nother.
Speaker 4: Level a little do so we will do that when
Speaker 4: we return here Media Day.
Speaker 6: Listen to this song.
Speaker 3: Oh you don't want this?
Speaker 4: TJ Smith personal injury attorney.
Speaker 8: Call TJ.
Speaker 3: He'll make them pay.
Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 6: Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 8: Welcome back.
Speaker 4: So of course play for those of you listen on podcasts,
Speaker 4: you couldn't hear that it was Grove Street that was playing.
Speaker 4: You said you liked the song. You're not saying it's
Speaker 4: going to go away.
Speaker 5: For it, right? No?
Speaker 6: Tell TJ. Walker, who's like he was tweeting something out
Speaker 6: like do not lose this song. Listen.
Speaker 10: I want to make the best experience possible for our fans, like,
Speaker 10: that's my thing, I mean, and for our players like
Speaker 10: and ultimately two for like recruits. That's what they think
Speaker 10: they get lost in all this is it's recruits that
Speaker 10: come to games.
Speaker 4: And we love that song. But that song is fifteen
Speaker 4: years old. Yeah, I mean, like it's a good banger.
Speaker 4: We'll figure it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Hey, you know what's really fun is when you score
Speaker 10: touchdowns and you win games and you're off the field
Speaker 10: to the fight song.
Speaker 6: That is the most fun.
Speaker 3: And that was a natural thing. Sometimes things just develop
Speaker 3: as you go.
Speaker 4: I've noticed in the offseason you've done media, but a
Speaker 4: lot of different kinds of media. Obviously you did part
Speaker 4: of my take when they hosted this show. You've done
Speaker 4: you know, the various college football shows, Andy Staples, Josh
Speaker 4: pay and you have all these people from all these
Speaker 4: walks of media really saying, look, I believe in this guy.
Speaker 3: Do you did you like?
Speaker 4: Were you conscious that, especially on the national stage, you
Speaker 4: wanted to go out and sort of sell this program
Speaker 4: this offseason?
Speaker 10: Again, who looks at media. It's not just fans, it's players.
Speaker 10: And I want players to see me in just a
Speaker 10: true authentic manner to where I'm you.
Speaker 6: Know, I'm just talking.
Speaker 10: I'm just I'm a I'm I'm one of us, you know,
Speaker 10: And that's what I think is really important. But also
Speaker 10: showing that I believe in our process. I believe in
Speaker 10: what we do on a daily basis. From a coaching perspective,
Speaker 10: from a strength and conditioning nutrition player that it results
Speaker 10: in really good play on the field.
Speaker 6: And so that to me is not what you're selling.
Speaker 10: You're just that's what I'm convicted of, and that's what
Speaker 10: I wanted to make sure I portrayed part.
Speaker 3: Of my take.
Speaker 4: Likes you and they actually off the air, don't like
Speaker 4: most of the coaches that they do, and actually tall them.
Speaker 6: I was an awl So I think that helped, which
Speaker 6: I am. I've listened those guys forever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know they were excited to have you. All right,
Speaker 4: So these are this is comes from the text machine.
Speaker 4: These are fans right now. Okay, I'm gonna give you
Speaker 4: a football question first, How does coach Stein like to
Speaker 4: use the tight ends? There are people who have been
Speaker 4: asking for twenty years for passes to the tight ends.
Speaker 3: How do you like to use the tight end?
Speaker 10: I know, I mean, I think it's it's pretty You
Speaker 10: just got to look in the past of what we've done.
Speaker 10: We use multiple tight end sets.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 10: My last two Terrence Ferguson was the second round pick
Speaker 10: by the La Rams. Kenny Sad just went I think
Speaker 10: eighteenth over all the Jets. The other player that we
Speaker 10: had at Oregon, Jamari Johnson will be a first round pick.
Speaker 10: We have Willie Rodriguez, Henry Boy, Michel Skinner here that
Speaker 10: are all exceptional football players, and so I love it.
Speaker 10: They control the middle of the field, they control the
Speaker 10: sea gap. They can match up nightmares for defenses, and
Speaker 10: so I think you also put defenses and predictable moments.
Speaker 10: The more tight ends you play, because they have to
Speaker 10: line up a certain way based on if we have
Speaker 10: bigger bodies. They have to match it with bigger bodies,
Speaker 10: and if they don't, then that gives you ability to
Speaker 10: run the football because they have wider bodies, you know.
Speaker 6: So I love them. I love them, and we'll always
Speaker 6: use them.
Speaker 4: One person says, I think you can learn a lot
Speaker 4: by a person by their favorite movie and TV show. Okay,
Speaker 4: so what is Will's favorite movie and TV show?
Speaker 6: It's hard for me to argue against Forrest Gump.
Speaker 3: Yes that is yes.
Speaker 6: I mean, listen, it's got everything.
Speaker 10: It's got love, it's got comedy, it's got action, got football,
Speaker 10: it's got football, just got a great story.
Speaker 3: It's led with love forest.
Speaker 6: Yes, he loves his mom, that's number one.
Speaker 10: And he loves Jenny and Son and then eventually then yeah,
Speaker 10: he loves Forest Junior.
Speaker 8: A daddy named Forest too.
Speaker 6: Yes, exactly, so it's got everything said.
Speaker 3: That was what you needed, right there was to get
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 6: I mean I could watch Forrest Gump pretty much every time.
Speaker 8: How many times have you seen it? The number doesn't exist.
Speaker 7: Yes, Jared Lorenzen used to text me just Forrest Gum
Speaker 7: quotes all the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that Jared was like that too. That's quite
Speaker 4: a triangle if you Drew and Jared Lorenzo.
Speaker 10: Uh yeah, rip, I love j Low one of my
Speaker 10: favorite players of all time. But yeah, Forrest Gump movie
Speaker 10: and show. I mean, just something I can watch on
Speaker 10: repeat is The Office, you know, right, I'll take you
Speaker 10: watch on repeat.
Speaker 7: I'm about to tear the goalpost down right now, just
Speaker 7: because he said Forrest Gump. Yes, I'm that fired up.
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 4: You mentioned Jared Lorenza. I mean this, I've watched you,
Speaker 4: Lrod King came up here, You've talked to former players.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think connecting with the past, even a
Speaker 4: past at Kentucky football, which hasn't always been great, is important,
Speaker 4: and it.
Speaker 3: Seems important to you because you grew up around this, right.
Speaker 10: Like I've told people this is not my program, It's
Speaker 10: not this is this is truly the player's program. I
Speaker 10: want them to be proud. I want them to be respected.
Speaker 10: I want them to be welcome back. And it's important
Speaker 10: you know that I connect with these guys because they're
Speaker 10: the ones that have at the jersey on, They're the
Speaker 10: ones that have bled on this field. They're the ones
Speaker 10: that care about this program as much or more than anybody.
Speaker 10: So I want them to feel that connection. It's important
Speaker 10: and it'll always be that way with me.
Speaker 4: One person writes in and says, how are you going
Speaker 4: to make uniform combinations a thing here like it was?
Speaker 3: It'll work?
Speaker 6: Well, there's a process to that. I mean what I
Speaker 6: like that to happen? Sure?
Speaker 10: I mean I love to be different, and it just
Speaker 10: takes time. There's obviously contracts that happen with the uniforms
Speaker 10: that it doesn't just like happen the next year, Like
Speaker 10: you're contracted out through twenty and twenty seven or eight,
Speaker 10: and then then you meet and you work with the
Speaker 10: uniform team at Nike. They get what you want. So
Speaker 10: you know, if we can do stuff that's different, great.
Speaker 10: I don't want to be so out there, that we
Speaker 10: lose what we're all about. Because I love the traditional
Speaker 10: Kentucky uniforms too that have been here. But I also, yeah,
Speaker 10: I like to be different if we can do like
Speaker 10: the chrome helmets I love, you know, I think those
Speaker 10: are a cool touch that we're not here.
Speaker 4: When I was a kid, I asked Jay Batt on Thursday,
Speaker 4: I said to him, and he was very definitive about
Speaker 4: his answer. I said, obviously, people at schools I mean
Speaker 4: used to me. You would say the only program that's
Speaker 4: a power for school that's consistently been worse than Kentucky
Speaker 4: is Indiana, and then they go and win a national championship.
Speaker 4: So I said to Jay Batt, asked him, does Kentucky
Speaker 4: have what it takes structurally to do that or something
Speaker 4: close to that?
Speaker 3: And he said one hundred percent yes. Do you agree
Speaker 3: with that?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 10: I wouldn't have came here or said this to you
Speaker 10: guys before, I promise you I would have kept my
Speaker 10: butt as we got a fly over. I would have
Speaker 10: kept my butt out West and coach Dante and stayed
Speaker 10: out there. I am convicted that we can do great
Speaker 10: things here, and it does take structure, takes a top
Speaker 10: down approach. Alignment is a word that is I think
Speaker 10: thrown around college athletics, but it is true. If you
Speaker 10: can be a lined top down with your president, your ady,
Speaker 10: all of your your donors, your your coaches, you can
Speaker 10: do some really cool things. I mean, not just Indiana.
Speaker 10: And look what Clark Lee's done at Vanderbilt.
Speaker 3: Oh that's amazing too.
Speaker 10: In this league's I mean, and I love what he
Speaker 10: said too, like last year was just another building block
Speaker 10: for him, meaning like he is convicted that this isn't
Speaker 10: just a flash in the pan either. So you have
Speaker 10: to you have to be structurally set up to be successful.
Speaker 10: But it also takes you know, recruiting great players, a
Speaker 10: great scheme, great coaches.
Speaker 6: It takes a lot of things.
Speaker 4: It makes me excited is you know, we've seen some
Speaker 4: success here in recent years, and I don't know Ryan,
Speaker 4: I mean, except for Will Levis, really haven't had a.
Speaker 3: Great quarterback here in a long time.
Speaker 4: If you can just get the quarterback right at some point,
Speaker 4: you know that they can even take another leap like
Speaker 4: Diego Pavia Sure and Mendoza had it Indiana.
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's a lot of factors that go into playing
Speaker 10: winning football. Quarterback Is is a big factor. It's you're
Speaker 10: completely right. So that was important for us. And you know,
Speaker 10: we still haven't played a game with Kenny, you know,
Speaker 10: and he's.
Speaker 3: Got to be the most mysterious.
Speaker 4: But the last time Ryan we had this was Will
Speaker 4: Levis try to do nothing about him and he was here.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I know that's a really good player comp in
Speaker 10: terms of what happened to him at his prior stop,
Speaker 10: which was very minimal, if any experience at Penn State.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 10: So yeah, and it's our job to make sure Kenny
Speaker 10: is very comfortable within our scheme. I think we got
Speaker 10: great players around him to where he doesn't feel like
Speaker 10: he's just got to go win every game for us.
Speaker 10: But I'm excited about Kenny.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: They're telling me got to wrap, So gus do two
Speaker 4: quick ones one Louisville. You know you've been there on
Speaker 4: this side as a fan, that side as a player,
Speaker 4: Now back to this side. How important is that rivalry
Speaker 4: and beating them, not just playing beating.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's as important as anything else we
Speaker 10: do this year.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 10: So you know, we got a lot of games and
Speaker 10: time before that happens. But you always have to win
Speaker 10: your rival game.
Speaker 3: And then I want to finish with I let everybody
Speaker 3: do this, let Jay Ben do it. In a minute.
Speaker 4: I want to give you a chance to message directly
Speaker 4: the fans, not just through my question, but if you
Speaker 4: were to say something a big blue nation and anticipation
Speaker 4: of this first year, what it would it be?
Speaker 10: Well, I've said it before to them, like I do
Speaker 10: feel like I am as big of a BBN enthusiast
Speaker 10: or member as anybody else just because of my upbringing.
Speaker 10: So number one, i am so thankful about their passion.
Speaker 10: I'm so thankful that they care. I'm so thankful that
Speaker 10: they're outspoken, because without them, this is just nothing. Like
Speaker 10: they matter as much as anything that we do. So
Speaker 10: to me, how can we make Kroger Field the most
Speaker 10: intimidating stadium in all of college football? It takes them
Speaker 10: when we're on third down on defense. I want them
Speaker 10: to be absolutely nuts when we score a touchdown.
Speaker 6: I want them to go crazy.
Speaker 10: I want them to be tailgating their ass off before
Speaker 10: the game, right, beer bongs, whatever?
Speaker 6: Shots?
Speaker 4: Can they stay? Sometimes people tell them to sit. I
Speaker 4: always say they should be able to stand. Can that
Speaker 4: does coach say they can stand? During the games.
Speaker 6: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Well, like during the games people will say sit down,
Speaker 3: I want to.
Speaker 6: See why say stand?
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go. You heard it from the coach.
Speaker 6: This as loud as possible.
Speaker 10: I want you guys to have a blast in the stands,
Speaker 10: Blast before the game, blast after the game. Let's make
Speaker 10: Lexington like the greatest city in all of college athletics.
Speaker 4: Yeah, love it, nice stuff, Will Stein, thank you very much,
Speaker 4: appreciate it. We're gonna take a break, uh not Carson Stone,
Speaker 4: as Drew said, but Colton Price will join us right
Speaker 4: after this. This is KSR Welcome back to Turkey Supports Radio.
Speaker 4: They p I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 4: We're all saving something, but what if you could save
Speaker 4: for something? UK Credit Union wants you to reach your
Speaker 4: saving This goals faster. That's why our High Yield Savings
Speaker 4: Count offers rates as high as four point zero APYLE
Speaker 4: and balances up to twenty five thousand dollars known to
Speaker 4: minimum balance, no monthly service charge to UK Credit Union.
Speaker 4: We're not just for some, We're for all y'all. Kentucky
Speaker 4: minimum thousand dollars to open hig Yield account Membershapelle b
Speaker 4: required insured by n c U, a UK credit union.
Speaker 4: Colton Price is here. You walk up a couple of things.
Speaker 4: First of all, I'm.
Speaker 3: Not gonna fight you. You are you are large, big man.
Speaker 4: You're you have he has the biggest legs I've ever
Speaker 4: seen in my life. Big like like you. You scare me.
Speaker 4: But you came. You were the number one ranked center
Speaker 4: in America. You chose to come to Kentucky. Some people
Speaker 4: were surprised by that. Why'd you do it?
Speaker 12: I mean the coaching staff first off, I mean I
Speaker 12: believe in the place. I mean sometimes you can get
Speaker 12: skeptical about UK, I mean coming out especially in SEC.
Speaker 12: And there's some places like Alabama, and there's places like
Speaker 12: Ole Miss or Auburn or like certain places that you
Speaker 12: would think of SEC football.
Speaker 5: But I want UK to be thought of that.
Speaker 12: And so I definitely wanted to be the change here
Speaker 12: in this O line and I wanted to help lead
Speaker 12: this place. But I mean, first off, like the coaching
Speaker 12: staff is the reason why I came. And I believe
Speaker 12: in what they had. I mean the playing, like the
Speaker 12: offense scheme they had that Stein brought in pro style offense.
Speaker 12: I felt like it would be really good for me
Speaker 12: to go to the next level coming from.
Speaker 4: Here and they stacked your line. Oh man, starting five looks.
Speaker 3: Like it should be you all should be beast.
Speaker 12: Right, come on, yeah, I mean you got you got
Speaker 12: a Lance, you got Olaus Tag. I mean you were
Speaker 12: keeping Malachi and so that's that's amazing, and so being
Speaker 12: able to play next to those guys will be a
Speaker 12: freaking dream come true for sure.
Speaker 4: I mean you got people out there saying first or
Speaker 4: second best offensive line in the SEC. I mean, Kentucky's
Speaker 4: had some good offensive lines in the last decade, but
Speaker 4: nothing like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, do you is the hype warranted?
Speaker 5: Would I wouldn't say.
Speaker 12: I would say that, Uh, it's definitely a blessing for
Speaker 12: us to be ranked like that preseason, but I mean preseason,
Speaker 12: all these accolades and stuff for whatever you could say
Speaker 12: and projections might be amazing, but it really doesn't start
Speaker 12: to get on the field. I definitely would hype our
Speaker 12: O line up very well. I mean a lot of
Speaker 12: snaps were played between us, and so I think the
Speaker 12: camaraderie with one another, whether it's in the film room practice,
Speaker 12: I mean we all had the roll on the same page.
Speaker 12: I mean I talked about it earlier, Like one of
Speaker 12: the biggest things for us is you got five guys,
Speaker 12: ten eyes, and you want to look through all one lens,
Speaker 12: you know, and so you want to get everyone on
Speaker 12: the same page and everyone going together.
Speaker 4: I got to market this you. This is you need
Speaker 4: to five guys, ten eyes, one lens, one lens, printed
Speaker 4: print sponsored by five guys. Now, now we've got it.
Speaker 4: We've never seen Kenny Minshi play any of us you.
Speaker 3: Have, Yeah, what's our quarterback?
Speaker 12: Like, dude, I mean, smartest guy I've probably been around,
Speaker 12: for sure. I mean he could check plays when we
Speaker 12: needed and he can put us in the right situation
Speaker 12: whenever it's needed. I mean, if you want a guy
Speaker 12: leading the place, it's definitely him in the huddle for sure.
Speaker 12: And so I couldn't be anyone's the arm amazing Okay,
Speaker 12: point accurate. I mean shortyard far far throws really down
Speaker 12: the field. Whatever shot you want, he's gonna get it.
Speaker 12: And so I'm definitely happy about that. Look forward to it.
Speaker 4: I mean, you played it a big time program, so
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, you know college football, but the
Speaker 4: you know, the SEC it's still another thing. Are you
Speaker 4: excited about that job.
Speaker 12: I mean, you're able to for me. I mean, it
Speaker 12: gives me better guys to go against. You know, iron
Speaker 12: sharpens iron, and so I want the best, the best
Speaker 12: in front of me, and I want to play against
Speaker 12: the best, so you can be the best. You know,
Speaker 12: you can't just say you're the best and you're playing
Speaker 12: against the worst. And so going to the SEC is
Speaker 12: definitely one of the things I wanted was to give
Speaker 12: me better competition, and so I'm definitely looking forward to
Speaker 12: that for sure. And I have definitely seen it here
Speaker 12: during the practices in the spring, and so it's it's
Speaker 12: gonna be good.
Speaker 3: Ryan Leman can take his portch radio.
Speaker 9: You walk up and you got a wedding band on.
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 6: We talked to you. You got married.
Speaker 9: You got married during the football season.
Speaker 3: You got made in October.
Speaker 12: During Yeah, dude, I wanted to one of the tie
Speaker 12: that knot man. I mean, I thought it was the
Speaker 12: right time and skip a game. I didn't skip a game.
Speaker 12: It was a bye week. Okay, yeah, it was a
Speaker 12: bye week. I thought it was a good decision. We
Speaker 12: got engaged. I mean in July. I think that's probably
Speaker 12: not something I to say. I think, but uh, we
Speaker 12: got we got the couch tonight.
Speaker 6: We got engaged.
Speaker 5: Earlier in the year.
Speaker 12: Definitely wanted to do something with that, and so we
Speaker 12: ended up getting married and in a bye week October tenth.
Speaker 3: That's wild. I look at you again doing the research.
Speaker 3: Where did you come from? I slept holiday and express
Speaker 3: that always makes it worse.
Speaker 7: You mentioned when to come play for this pro style
Speaker 7: offense and the coaches, but we also keep hearing with
Speaker 7: how young and interject the energetic they are around the building.
Speaker 7: Is that just something being said or do you really
Speaker 7: feel that every day? Like you know, almost they're older
Speaker 7: than you, but they might be acting like the college
Speaker 7: kids too.
Speaker 5: Right, I mean, that's that's what you want. You don't want.
Speaker 12: You don't want a low energy type of places, especially
Speaker 12: whenever you go into workouts or practice or something like that.
Speaker 12: You always create energy and you don't want to rely
Speaker 12: on someone and just not what we're doing around here.
Speaker 12: I mean, you can you can expect energy from every
Speaker 12: single one of the guys out there, and so that's
Speaker 12: one of the best things you can do is go
Speaker 12: into the facility and you can feel that energy that
Speaker 12: people bring.
Speaker 3: And so all right, I gotta ask you.
Speaker 4: They put out a video of you drawing, and you're
Speaker 4: gonna get asked about this all the time.
Speaker 3: Because you looked like Bob Ross. Bob Ross, you did.
Speaker 3: You looked like, I mean, like the cat.
Speaker 5: I don't think I had the hair, though.
Speaker 4: Well you got you just got to grow it a
Speaker 4: little bit. But you did that. You did the thing,
Speaker 4: and it looks so like. So talk to me about
Speaker 4: your art. Who knew center that's also a renaissance man.
Speaker 12: I mean it just whenever I was younger, I used
Speaker 12: to draw a little bit, nothing too crazy, what didn't
Speaker 12: put too much time into it. I've always been able
Speaker 12: to look at something and draw it, and I wouldn't
Speaker 12: think it was too hard. This big copy guy just
