Speaker 2: all right, that's okay, we'll get there in a minute.

55
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: But a couple of things happening here.

56
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: First of all, this is the first time Mario has

57
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: ever been to eastern Kentucky. He was oh, he was

58
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: like a little kid, looked through the mountains there like,

59
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: and I told him what kudzu was and how my

60
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: grandmother hated it, and we we we this is.

61
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: First time down this way.

62
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 4: Wait until you take him down to Middlesbrough and you

63
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: got to go through Pineville in that area down there.

64
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: We still got I'm easy men.

65
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: There you go, you go to you go to London first,

66
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: then we'll get down to maybe barber Fall.

67
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: Then we'll get to me.

68
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: He's next year, he texted on the drive. He texted

69
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: Ramel and said, tell me about Hillbilly days. Remel just

70
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: that's wild. There were some cuss words, and then said

71
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: that's wild. So but maybe they will eventually get him

72
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: up to where he's like in Breadthatt County or something

73
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: like that.

74
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 5: Well, that's always a big argument. You consider London part

75
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 5: of the mountain.

76
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: It's right on the edge, That's what I told him.

77
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: It's it's a little it's a little bit city, a little.

78
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: Bit mountain in my opinion.

79
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: But we are here and happy to be here. I uh,

80
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,640

81
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: all night on the Taylor Swift album last night? That

82
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: came out midnight?

83
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 6: I had a blast at Taylor Swift Trivia. I'll say

84
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 6: that had a great crowd. I was up at midnight,

85
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 6: but I did not. I have not done my listen yet.

Speaker 2: we're gonna top basketball promise, but I do want to

89
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: tell this story real quick. We So Taylor swa ended

90
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: up being the biggest stress of my life yesterday because

91
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about Taylor Swift, and it became

92
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: clear to me that I was gonna need to write

93
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: a bunch of questions. So I got home yesterday from

94
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: the show and I spent four or five hours writing

95
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift questions. And I think I was more nervous

96
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: about that than I've been about anything because I don't

97
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: know anything about Taylor Swift, and I was worried all

98
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: these swifties were gonna yell at me. We had a

99
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 2: packed house of people. They were ryan you judged, would

100
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: you agree?

101
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: Very serious?

102
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: Oh, they were intense, very intense last night.

103
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: Very intense. Uh. They told me my questions were too hard, Shannon.

104
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 5: Oh really, they were a couple that were really hard.

105
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 7: Maybe they're not true swifties.

106
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 3: Well that's what I said. I said, who's the swiftiest?

107
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 2: But I want to tell you a good story about

108
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: how kids can be smarter than adults. All right, So

109
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: when you walk in to the bar last night, we

110
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 2: had a display outside that had two of Taylor Swift's

111
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: albums with the track lists on them, and every single

112
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: person that walked into the bar had to walk past them. Yep, okay,

113
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: so you couldn't have gone in without walking past that.

114
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: One of my questions was, and I learned this yesterday, Shannon,

115
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: that all of Taylor Swift's albums, she makes song five

116
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: her most personable, honest, and vulnerable.

117
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 7: Oh nice, I didn't know that.

118
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: I didn' so one of my questions was on all

119
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: of Taylor Swift's albums, what were the track fives? And

120
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: everybody was like, and I was thinking to myself, you know,

121
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 2: if anybody walks out front, they can get two of

122
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: them just by.

123
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 5: Looking out front, and you would allow that.

124
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: Sure, why not? They're there?

125
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: I kept waiting, nobody gets up, nobody gets up, and

126
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, I.

127
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: See two like eight year old girls and I hear

128
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 3: one of them go we I.

129
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 5: Mean, didn't they have the Folklore album out there?

130
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: And she was like, go checking. These two little girls

131
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: walk out and there they.

132
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: Are, yep, And they're the only two people in the

133
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: whole bar out of forty five teams that fought to

134
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: go do that. And I thought that was fascinating because everybody,

135
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: all adults are like.

136
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 3: We're so smart.

137
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: Only one person, only two little girls, made the think

138
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: the thought Shannon to go outside and see and so

139
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: they got those two answers and nobody else did.

140
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 7: The kids were the two ones that paid attention to

141
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 7: detail when they walked in. I guess maybe other people

142
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 7: just walked right by, didn't even you know, it, didn't

143
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 7: even pay attention.

144
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: They looked around and it worked out for him.

145
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 6: They're also two of the best dressed. I enjoyed everyone

146
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 6: getting dressed up for Taylor Swift Night. My favorite part

147
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 6: was you just talking Taylor Swift. Like at one point

148
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 6: you're telling everyone how her version is just a couple

149
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: of seconds longer than the original versions, and Matt's breaking

150
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 6: down nineteen ninety eighty nine album for everyone, and I'm

151
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 6: trying to get video just of Matt talking about Taylor.

152
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: I didn't know what I was talking about. I know

153
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: more about the NFL when I talk on Sunday than that.

154
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: But we didn't have a good time. Thank you to

155
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: everybody that came.

156
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 8: It was.

157
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: It was a great night and a good night for

158
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: the bar.

159
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: And you know, it's been a good week at the

160
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: bar because the fan base is back, excited, and there's

161
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: a lot I think this weekend is going to be

162
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 2: a weekend of a lot of movement.

163
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: But let's just talk about what's happened in the last

164
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: twenty four hours. We'll start.

165
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: We're in London, Reed Shepherd declared for the draft. Not

166
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: a surprise. If you've been listening to this, I've been

167
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: telling you for a week and a half.

168
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: He's not back.

169
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: I actually think he was going to announce last week

170
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: and then cal Perry left, And because cal Perry left,

171
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: Re didn't want to kind of throw himself into that mix,

172
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: so he agreed to wait for a week.

173
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: You don't in a suit.

174
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: That came out last week. I actually think that was

175
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: the day he was going to do it. But he

176
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: ends up waiting. He gives to get also, I think

177
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: for Mark Pope gives him a little bit of time

178
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: before they do it. He's going to the draft, probably

179
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: going to be a top ten pick. Put everything else aside.

180
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: It is so cool to me that a guy from

181
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: this town where we are right now, in eastern Kentucky

182
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: is going to be a top ten pick in the

183
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: NBA draft.

184
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: Tell me how awesome that is?

185
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean, when is the last time, when's the last

186
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: time I met has been drafted in the first round?

187
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: Period? What's the last one?

188
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 5: Ryan wah Wah Jones?

189
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: Is it? Wah Wah?

190
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's another one besides wah Wah Jones.

191
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: Did wa Wai even go in the top ten?

192
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 5: I don't know if they even had a draft.

193
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that we've ever and I'm a mountain guy.

194
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: I'm not sure we've ever had a thirteenth regioner. Have

195
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: we ever had a dude from the mountains period going

196
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: the top ten in the NBA draft?

197
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: No, I don't know that we have.

198
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 6: I don't think the state of Kentucky has had many.

199
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: The state of Kentucky has not had many. Rex was

200
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: one was Purvis Ellison from Kentucky.

201
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 5: I don't think he was from Kentucky.

202
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: Well, we haven't had.

203
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: Many, but I don't think the Mountains of Kentucky have

204
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: ever had any, and Reid is gonna be one, and

205
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: so I do think that has put everything else aside.

206
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: I do think that's awesome.

207
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 4: And we've said this before, but it's worth repeating. He

208
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 4: could have gone and played at some of these big

209
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 4: prep schools. He wanted to stay here in London and

210
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 4: play with his guys. He grew up with a North

211
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: Laurel High school he got wanted to play at the

212
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 4: University of Kentucky.

213
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 5: I think he just says a lot about his character

214
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 5: and who he is as a person.

215
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: I will probably Drew, honestly, here's what I'll think of

216
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: a Reed when I think of his career. First of all,

217
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: so much better than I would have thought. Initially I

218
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: thought he could be like he was down the road.

219
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: I don't think I did not think he could do

220
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: it on a team full of five freshmen highly toauted

221
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: he was the best one national freshman of the year.

222
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: Who saw that coming Probably not a lot of people.

223
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: And then along with Antonio Reeves, I think we'll go

224
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 2: down as one of the three or four best three

225
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: point shooters that we've ever had at this school.

226
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, statistically, he's gonna be that. I just

227
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 6: remember thinking, well, one when we're whe At school. I mean,

228
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 6: we knew he'd get some minutes in Kentucky, but no

229
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 6: one had him doing what he did, and you're one.

230
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 6: And then I remember the postgame show the first game,

231
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 6: I believe you're out of town, Ryan or doing it.

232
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 6: Some guy called in He's like, Reid's gonna be the

233
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 6: best guard on this team, and we're like, you need

234
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 6: to put the bottle down.

235
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 5: One game.

236
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 6: Man. Turns out he's crazy at all. I mean, the

237
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 6: year he had was truly special, and I know we

238
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 6: wanted him back for another one, but I'm just as

239
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 6: excited for whatever team gets him, because London is going

240
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 6: with Reid wherever he goes. Don't let a team in

241
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 6: driving distance get Rich Shepherd or there's a.

242
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: Lot of projections of him in Memphis. You can see

243
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: a lot of people end up there. So sorry, So

244
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: that's the positive. I think he was awesome. The kid

245
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: also seems like a great kid, so I hope he

246
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: crushes it. There will be Shannon, though, it kind of

247
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: hit me last night as I was going to sleep

248
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: and I was sitting there thinking, we're gonna have two,

249
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: if not the top two, two of the top three

250
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: freshmen drafted in the draft. We had Antonio Reeves, who

251
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: might be one day the most forgotten all American Kentucky's

252
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: ever had. I mean, Antonio Reeson was awesome, And there

253
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: is a part of me that's gonna say, I'm gonna

254
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: look back and go how I mean, I'm just how

255
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: did cal waste that group?

256
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, how did they waste that group? How

257
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: did they waste three?

258
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: Seriously in my lifetime, Travis Ford, Dron Lamb and then

259
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: maybe those three as the best three shooters and they

260
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: were all one team shan it, Yeah, and we couldn't

261
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: beat Oak.

262
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 7: I would put like from a you're just stocking up talent.

263
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 7: I would put Kentucky's roster last year up against any

264
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 7: other team in college basket.

265
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: I agree, I don't think that's maybe uknt had more talent.

266
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 2: But do you do you think that Purdue team had

267
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: more talent than us?

268
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 7: I mean, we have two guys that are gonna be

269
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 7: in the lottery that were coming off the bench.

270
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 3: We have two guys.

271
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 9: That were gonna be in the lottery, Yeah, coming off

272
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 9: the bench, which is the thing. Yeah, Antonio Reeves an

273
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 9: All American and in my opinion, should have even been

274
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 9: more of an All American than he was.

275
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, AP left him out. AP

276
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: left him out. I don't know how that happened. DJ Wagner,

277
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: whatever else you think about him, was uber talented, right,

278
00:11:55,160 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 2: Trey Mitchell a good senior like that team, You cannot

279
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: have the risk we had with that team.

280
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 5: Coaching malpractice, I mean, that's what it was.

281
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 4: There's no way that team should have been a first

282
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 4: round exit in the SEC tournament.

283
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 6: And postseason games. And that's one of my favorite teams

284
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 6: of all times.

285
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: It is, it's one of my favorite after the results

286
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: for it's still one of my favorites. All Right, It

287
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: looks like we're having a little technical difficulty. Of course

288
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 2: right as soon as our show starts. So what Look,

289
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: we're gonna take a break. See if we can get

290
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: that fixed, we will come back. We are here at

00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,040

300
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: now has two more coaches. The coach from BYU had

301
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: already been reported. Corey Fieger Kyle Tucker said last night

302
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: they were gonna add Jason Hart, who's from Syracuse, as

303
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: a second coach. He'll be one of the recruiting coaches,

304
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: and then former Georgia coach Mark Fox will be basically

305
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: an administrative role which one include nil and other things.

306
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: He was doing that role at Georgetown. You may remember

307
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: that Mark Fox used to coach Georgia and Mark Pope

308
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: got his first assistant job with Mark Fox.

309
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: So they're actually flipping roles now.

310
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: The assistant becomes the head coach, the head coach becomes

311
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 2: the assistant coach.

312
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: Start with Jason Hart, Drew. I love that hire.

313
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: For people who don't know played at Syracuse, you may remember,

314
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: was a really good player at Syracuse, played in the NBA.

315
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 3: Has been big in recruiting.

316
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: I had a guy write me last night who's a

317
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: coach at another D one college and said to me, Matt,

318
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 2: you all knocked it out of the part with Park

319
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: with Jason Hart for recruiting, which to me sounded like

320
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: good news.

321
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 6: Absolutely. The reaction to Jason Hart was pretty nice to

322
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 6: see online yesterday, with everybody approving the higher and just

323
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 6: saying good things about him. He was with the G League,

324
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 6: so connection there with guys wanting to be pros, got

325
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 6: pipeline set up in the Northeast. He was out in California.

326
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 6: I mean that I really wanted to assume he's going

327
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 6: to be the head recruiter, and I think it's a

328
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 6: good get for that role.

329
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 4: You know, I remember when he played at Syracuse in

330
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 4: the late nineties where Syracuse. Uh didn't know where he

331
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 4: had been lately, but yeah, when you were. He's got

332
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: head coaching experience, and he's been a head coach at

333
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 4: the in the G League, and Mark.

334
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: P coach in the G League he was an assistant with,

335
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: so he worked with G League Ignite, which of course

336
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: gets high school players.

337
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: He also was at USC.

338
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but and Mark Fox head coach experience. Mark Fox

339
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: and Mark Popin know they go back to when Pope

340
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 4: was a player at Utah State and Mark Fox was

341
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: on that staff. And how many times we hear coach

342
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 4: Cal speak glowingly about Mark Fox as a hit.

343
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: He usually would go beat him by thirty and then

344
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: speak knowingly of ye and say, you know, this is

345
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: a guy you all have that's really good. To be fair, though,

346
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: he probably did better at Georgia as a head coach

347
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: than anyone's done it Georgia in many years, but they

348
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: still rain him off.

349
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 7: I love the Mark Fox higher just because of the

350
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 7: story with Mark Pope, and he gave him his chance

351
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 7: at the very beginning of his career and now he's

352
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 7: rewarding him on the backside of it.

353
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 6: Sorry if anyone thinks of Mark Fox just as a

354
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 6: Georgia coach. Look at that man's resume. He won it

355
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 6: Nevada since George Way basketball, USA Basketball, Brad Stevens in

356
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 6: the NBA. He was at Georgetown and like an nil role.

357
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 6: So if you can just turn off beating him all

358
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 6: the time at Georgia, he has a great.

359
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: Career of working with him.

360
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: He had a great career at Nevana to get that

361
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: good job at Georgia.

362
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: And I remember Georgia. He was the bubble.

363
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: Every no one is winning at Georgia, which is crazy.

364
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how that doesn't happen with all their talents.

365
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: So that's where they go now. They got turned down yesterday,

366
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: well actually two days ago on the Kenny Payne thing.

367
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: That leaves the Orlando antigue with situation. I don't know

368
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: that we'll ever know exactly how all that went down Orlando.

369
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: Don't think that's gonna happen. I guess today could change,

370
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: but I kind of don't think it will. Maybe I'll

371
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: be wrong, but I don't think so. But it looks

372
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: like it's not gonna work out. I think he's gonna

373
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: end up in Illinois. Are you disappointed in that or

374
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: do you because that'll leave one more spot to go

375
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: get another young recruiter. Would you have liked to have

376
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: had Orlando. I mean, obviously we all would have liked

377
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: a little bit. But are you disappointed that that doesn't

378
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: work out?

379
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 4: I think I was excited because we know Orlando's success

380
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: as a recruiter. You know, if that's one thing he

381
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: brought to the table with cows that he brought in

382
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: a lot, helped bring in a lot of the guitar players.

383
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 4: So I think that would have helped Pope in that capacity,

384
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: if nothing else.

385
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 7: Adding to a little continuity, because this team as it

386
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 7: is right now has zero continuity from the previous seasons.

387
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 7: He gives you at least a little bit of that

388
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 7: if he were to be here.

389
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Orlando. If he had been here, I

390
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: would have been excited. I also am not necessarily against

391
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: just starting a new generation and saying let's go, you know,

392
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 2: I mean, there's you know, sometimes you got to turn

393
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: the page. And I love Orlando. I'd be pulling forth.

394
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 2: I think he'll do a good He would have done

395
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 2: a good job. I also don't think it's the worst

396
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 2: thing in the world. If Pope gets to start.

397
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 6: Fresh completely agree some experiences we've had with Orlando yesterday,

398
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 6: I really liked the guy. But if Pope doesn't want it,

399
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 6: Aaron wants to start completely new. And if they were

400
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 6: gonna consider Orlando, he's a recruiting guy. I think by

401
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 6: getting Jason Hart yesterday, you have your recruiter.

402
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: Yes, and Kenny Payne is now going to Arkansas thoughts.

403
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 5: Boo, that's my thoughts.

404
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 4: I mean, he did his job, he went to Louisville,

405
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 4: he tanked their program for a couple of years. With

406
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 4: time to welcome him back. I would have been open arms,

407
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 4: ready to bring a looking at him back.

408
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: But are they gonna have the oldest staff in the country.

409
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 5: Maybe?

410
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I think every single person on that staff

411
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 2: is gonna be older than all of us.

412
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 6: Go forget bred.

413
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he helps, But I mean you're gonna have

414
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: bruiser chin Kenny Payne.

415
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: Cow you're running it back, don't.

416
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: They are a bunch of grumpy old men like it's

417
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he needs Walter Mathow for a sequel,

418
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: But I.

419
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 7: Think that maybe that's why you need Kenny because he

420
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 7: was that role.

421
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: But Kenny's a grumpy old man too. Well, I mean,

422
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: Kenny's Kenny. Kenny's older than Ryan.

423
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, but is he But is he grumpy? I feel

424
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 7: like he's the guys.

425
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: Yes, ask anybody who covered Louisville over the last two years,

426
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 2: he's pretty grumpy.

427
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 6: Anyone that just left that Louisville job has to be.

428
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 6: He could have walked in the nicest person in the world.

429
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 6: You have to leave grumpy after what he just went through.

430
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think he even made a statement

431
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 3: when he left.

432
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 7: Probably for the best, yeah, from some of the things

433
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 7: that he said in his press conference.

434
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 6: I mean, Arkansas could be awesome, make the final four,

435
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 6: and they're like, oh that stinks. But there's also a

436
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 6: chance where they're kind of terrible because if the talents

437
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 6: recruits are not running to him like I think he

438
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 6: probably thought they were.

439
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd listen.

440
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: Could they be successful with that, with cal and the

441
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: talent they'll have, Yes, they could be successful. I also

442
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: could see a world it's a complete disaster, like where

443
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 2: it's like you know, Godfather three, right, Like I.

444
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: Could see that. I could see that happening. I really could.

445
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: The other thing is it comes out that Jerry Jones,

446
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: we talked about this yesterday, has said if Kentucky has

447
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: a recruit, I'll double the offer.

448
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: I'm kind of told.

449
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: That's what they did with Kenny Payne, that they basically

450
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: said to Kenny Payne, whatever Kentucky offered you, I mean,

451
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna see the contract because it'll have to come

452
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 2: out publicly. I think Kenny Payne probably just became the

453
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: highest paid assistant coach in America.

454
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, good for Kenny if he negotiated with

455
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 4: Kentucky got a figure knowing that Jerry Jones was gonna

456
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 4: add to I mean talk about falling up.

457
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he did.

458
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 7: Just won twelve games and two seasons, and it's an

459
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 7: assistant coach less pressure, less responsibility, and becomes the highest paid.

460
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 3: Wow, he really did fall up.

461
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, all right. So now let's talk about players.

462
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: Kentucky loses the kid Ali Khalifa to BYU when I

463
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: excuse me, to Louisville. When I saw that, I was

464
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: a little bit surprised. And then I saw he's sitting

465
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: out next year red shirting with a knee injury. And

466
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Kentucky wouldn't have taken him. But to me,

467
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: if he's not playing next year, you don't really need him.

468
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: The point of having him was we need bodies next

469
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: year the year after. I feel like you can go

470
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: find a guy as good or better than him next year.

471
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 2: So I actually that that doesn't really bother me, does

472
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 2: it you.

473
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 6: It's kind of a bizarre situation. I don't want to

474
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 6: come off as a sore loser here, but I wonder

475
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 6: how interested UK was if he didn't even did he

476
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 6: didn't visit Lexington, right, So it's weird that you know,

477
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 6: you've had this great year with Pope and you just

478
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 6: go straight to the little land your red shirting. So

479
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 6: I don't know what happened there. But Pope's got some

480
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 6: good guys in the portal that he's kind of circled,

481
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 6: and I hope we end up with them.

482
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 7: It's strange that he had that do not contact by

483
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 7: his name in the portal and then goes to Louisville

484
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 7: and can.

485
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: It is oddly, but I will say, like, I'm if

486
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: he's not gonna play here next year, then I'm okay

487
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: with it. Now, this is what's happening. I expect UK

488
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: to get yes is from two people today. Now, let

489
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: me be clear, I'm not sure that will come out publicly,

490
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: because nowadays you gotta dot some eyes and cross some

491
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 2: te's that you didn't used to after a few but

492
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 2: I think UK will have will know themselves. They have

493
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: a couple guys by today, maybe we hear it before

494
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: the end of the weekend. I will tell you this,

495
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: I am much more confident about the state of UK

496
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: basketball recruiting today than I was yesterday. You know that

497
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: they're mentioned They've got the kid from Drexel that Pope

498
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: mentioned saw yesterday. This kid from Utah State. What's his name,

499
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: Great Osibor. His first name is great, but he is great.

500
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: I watched Utah State often before I'd go to bed

501
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: on CBS Sports Network. The dude is awesome. Like you,

502
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 2: I think we need two or three big time guys. Okay,

503
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: now there's one, all right, if you get him. By

504
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 2: the way, both those guys, the Drexel guy and the

505
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: Utah State guy, I believe they're both British.

506
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe they both played together in England.

507
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: Nice Okay, Okay, so I think they they have that connection.

508
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 3: So you might find a world in which you get

509
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 3: both of them.

510
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 6: I'd love that. And Great was the player of the

511
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 6: year at his conference. He had a heck of a season.

512
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 6: I'd love to get him both of them.

513
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: You get that Great Osibor kid, he might be my

514
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: new pick for who's gonna be the leading scorer on

515
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: the team next year. We'll take a break, hopefully fix

516
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: our connection issues.

517
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 3: Is this Gazar, We're go back.

518
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,840

519
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: in London. I apologize to folks for the connection. One

520
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 2: of these days you will think iHeart will get it

521
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: to where we can connect in random parts of the state.

522
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: It's not even that random. We're right on the interstate,

523
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: but it is what it is. Hopefully it'll be. We

524
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: hopefully have made it a little bit better here for

525
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 2: this one. If you go to Bluegrass Home Center all weekend,

Speaker 2: A canig cler cur canig curic that's okay, curic cooler,

529
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 2: A gri blackstone griddle.

530
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 7: I had the same question, what is.

531
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 3: What is a griddle?

532
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 5: It's like a flat where you can talk.

533
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 2: No, we don't cook, you just said, I said, what's

534
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: a griddle, and you said a flat griddle, but that

535
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 2: doesn't answer me.

536
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 3: What a griddle is?

537
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 5: Flat top, like a flat top grill grill?

538
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, you know those burgers that's sitting there on grease, Yes,

539
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 6: make those on the blackstone.

540
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: All right, there you go.

541
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: So you get a curig, a cool of griddle, or

542
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: a fifty inch TV. As you can tell, I use

543
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 2: all of those things on a regular basis. Bluegrass home

544
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: Center dot com. We got folks on the phone real quick.

545
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 2: Uh so people are asking me why Orlando didn't go

546
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: with cal. I think y'all can make your own decisions

547
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: on that, right, Like, I mean, let's be real. Two

548
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: of his four coaches, including somebody very close to him,

549
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 2: didn't go. If you want to know the truth, it's

550
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: because he was impossible to work with the last couple

551
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 2: of years.

552
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: He just was.

553
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: You know, you can people out there can say, oh,

554
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 2: it's just a coincidence that that TJ. Biser went to

555
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: North Carolina and that John Welch went to Fresno State,

556
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: and that Orlando and Tigua try not to go to Arkansas,

557
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 2: and that Jay Lucas went to Duke. Yeah, that's all

558
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 2: just a big coincidence or maybe Drew.

559
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 3: This wasn't the most pleasant place to work the last

560
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: couple of years.

561
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 6: I mean, people would accuse us of trying to manufactre

562
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 6: manufacture drama for the show, but we're just trying to

563
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 6: let people know behind the scenes. It was not a

564
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 6: great operation the last few years, and that's why we

565
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 6: ended up with the results we ended up with.

566
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 2: And the one person who definitely went with him is

567
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 2: a guy that was always screaming at him on the bench,

568
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: which was Jim Cullman.

569
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 6: So I said he shouldn't keep his the ones.

570
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 3: It's the one he's take.

571
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 7: I think that's an easy way to make a clean break.

572
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 7: Guy's going to Arkansas. If you don't want to follow that,

573
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 7: then it's an easy way to do it, a good

574
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 7: excuse to get out of it.

575
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 4: That's why if you ask us to predict who would stay,

576
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 4: who would not get him, and who would I would

577
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 4: have said Orlando and Welch would both go, and probably

578
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 4: two guys that are there would not have gone.

579
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 5: Like I would have probably missed that out.

580
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 6: At the end of the day, these people are human

581
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 6: beings with families, and Arkansas is in Fayetteville, and that

582
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 6: that can be that can be it. They can just

583
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 6: say I am not going to Faddeville with you this.

584
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: You know, we're I'm very committed to thinking we need

585
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: to talk about the future, et cetera. But there is

586
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: a lot to still be said about what happened these

587
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: last two or three years. There really is. And I said,

588
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: we'll do it down the road. But for anybody who

589
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: in the last two years question the things we said,

590
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 2: just look at exactly what has happened since then. All right,

591
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 2: just look at exactly what's happened. And when Orlando Antigua,

592
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: who's been there forever, chooses not to go, and John Welch,

593
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: who was the one X and O guy, decides to

594
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: go play coach at Fresno, look.

595
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: It is what it is at this point. Who's up first? Shaker? Shaker?

596
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: Go ahead, shaker, Hey Matt, first time, long time? What

597
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 3: who are uh?

598
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 5: So?

599
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 10: First off, I want to say, I'm so proud of Reid.

600
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 5: I was.

601
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 10: I'm young. I'm only twenty seven, so I wasn't around

602
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 10: there in.

603
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: That for a few years.

604
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 10: But seeing a Kentucky boy just fulfilling his dreams and

605
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 10: going to the NBA is so dang cool. I'm so

606
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 10: proud of him, and just being able to see him

607
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 10: go to the NBA is awesome for not only for

608
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 10: him from Stay to Kentucky and just seeing him lift

609
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 10: up his day.

610
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: By the way, was the ninth pick, so Wawa Jones

611
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: would be the only other top ten pick from eastern Kentucky.

612
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 3: He went ninth, But go.

613
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 10: Ahead, Yeah, that's that's awesome. So you tweet out yesterday

614
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 10: that Pope was flying around. Did he come back yet

615
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 10: from his recruiting efforts?

616
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 5: Do you know?

617
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: I don't think so, But I don't know that for sure.

618
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: I don't think he did. His family is not here

619
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 2: right now. They're in various places move I think there's

620
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: maybe some some health stuff with with one of their

621
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: extended family members, and then you know, they got kids

622
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: in school, So he's probably traveling because he doesn't I mean,

623
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 2: he'd be by himself if he was here anyway, So

624
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 2: I think he's uh. I know, he was on the

625
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 2: road all day yesterday. He's gonna be on the road

626
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: all day today, and then he's supposed to be all

627
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 2: on the road Saturday, and then I think maybe a

628
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 2: couple of people coming here on Sunday and.

629
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 10: Monday, gotcha and the last thing I got for you.

630
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 10: So aside from Joe B. You know, because preceding Rup,

631
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 10: I'm sure that he had all the pressure in the world.

632
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 10: In the world is Pope oh help sure? Is that

633
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 10: the most pressure out of all the coaches in Kentucky

634
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 10: history or which you could find.

635
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 2: I think I actually think this is the easiest. Okay,

636
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 2: So I appreciate the call Ryan. Of the three times

637
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: people have followed really successful coaches, I think Joe B

638
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 2: falling up had to be the hardest thing in the world, right,

639
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: I mean Ruff was Ruff built the program. I think

640
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: Tubby falling Rick was hard. You were coming off a

641
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: national title and a runner up and then here.

642
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: He had to come in.

643
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: I actually think this is the easiest of the three

644
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: because a lot of fans were just kind of ready

645
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: for Caw to go.

646
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the program has been kind of on a

647
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 4: downward spiral the last couple of years. You're right, when

648
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 4: Tubby came in, we were top of the world. We

649
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 4: were the best program in the country at that point.

650
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, out of the three popes got it, I

651
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 5: think the best.

652
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 7: If John Caliperi had left for UCLA that's different. That

653
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 7: would have been a completely different situation because of what

654
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 7: fans have had to deal with for the last four years.

655
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 7: That that makes it a lot easier to transition from

656
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 7: cal to the Pope.

657
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 6: I mean just yesterday you asked Ryan what pope should

658
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 6: do to have a good year, and he said, make

659
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 6: Saturday at the SEC tournament. And I'll laugh, but that's

660
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 6: actually an upgrade from the last four years of basketball. So,

661
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 6: like Jenna just said, I if you'd taken over five

662
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 6: years ago, a lot of pressure. But it's been so

663
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 6: bad in the postseason recently, just got to make a

664
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 6: make a weekend.

665
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: You could argue Tubby had it the worst because even

666
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: at the end of the rough years, it was going

667
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: down a little. It was right, it was, it was

668
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: going down a little there, and there were some people

669
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: trying to kind of nudge him out even at the end.

670
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: But Tubby came. Patino left at the peak of the

671
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: Patino U, you know. And so if you're Tubby Smith

672
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: and you're walking in here, you know, in ninety six

673
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 2: and they're a runner up in ninety seven and your

674
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: way here we go, and then of course he goes

675
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: and wins the title, in his first year, and people

676
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: didn't even give him credit for it. They said, well,

677
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: he's winning with rix L you know, I mean that

678
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: would be I actually think Tubby probably had it part.

679
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 7: He beat too quickly, right, and there's nowhere else to

680
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 7: go from there. When you your first year win a

681
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 7: national title, now how do you get better?

682
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: But one good thing for Pope is because the roster

683
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: is going to be completely new, you won't be saying

684
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: you're winning with somebody else's players. It's going to be

685
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: a completely new roster either way. What's next, Joseph, Joseph,

686
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: go ahead, Joe.

687
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 8: Matt Hey, Matt, A lot of has gone on since

688
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 8: the last time I told the One thing I like

689
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 8: about Pope is he has a good attitude. Tells us

690
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 8: stuff we want to hear, that tournament's matter and the

691
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 8: hang banners. You know, I'll get this guy chance. I

692
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 8: really enjoyed what he had to say, and I'm hoping

693
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 8: he could build a good team.

694
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 5: And we'll expect at least an Elite eight this season.

695
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: You explained to hang on, you expected Elite eight this year.

696
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 3: That's your that's your requirement for year one.

697
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, uh yeah, at least and uh uh, at

698
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 8: least least.

699
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 3: We don't even have a roster yet.

700
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: Right now, we have two players on the team, not

701
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: one of which has ever played in it of college basketball,

702
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: and Joseph, you're already acquiring an Elite eight.

703
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 5: Of course, expectations, man, of course?

704
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: All right, all right, well, I appreciate the call. Maybe

705
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: I was wrong, Maybe it is going to be the

706
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: hardest of.

707
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 6: All special guests pulling up right here.

708
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: Oh look, there's my parents. I didn't know they were coming. Hello,

709
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: Hello my parents. Uh that's pretty amazing, didn't it.

710
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 4: Well, Like I said when you asked the question yesterday,

711
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 4: I just want to get to the second weekend. I

712
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 4: mean Sweet six team would be nice. And Joseph's like,

713
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: at least Elite eight. You know, we have been to

714
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 4: the Final four in a long time.

715
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: Joseph, I will set expectations, Drew when I see our roster.

716
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: You know, I need to see what our roster is,

717
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 2: because you know, if we get two or three guys

718
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: like the kid from Utah State who's great Osabor, Okay,

719
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: then that's different.

720
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: But if we get if we don't, I mean, it

721
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 3: just depends to me on who our roster is.

722
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you said one player of no college basket.

723
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 6: We have two with no college basketball, Travis Perry and

724
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 6: are Mormon back from his mission. Even whatever happens, I

725
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 6: have the expectation Pope will make the tournament and at

726
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 6: least hold his own a little in the SEC. Probably

727
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 6: not win it right away. So I can't say anything

728
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 6: exact tournament spots, but I do think it's gonna be

729
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 6: a decent year. I don't have the guys following because

730
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 6: we're starting fresh.

731
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: I don't have that mindset I expect.

732
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: If you're asking me what I expect, I expect us

733
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: to make the tournament and I after that, then let

734
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: me see who's on the roster. I do think when

735
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 2: you're at Kentucky, it is a reasonable expectation to say

736
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: we should.

737
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: Make the NCAA tournament. You know we did that what

738
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,719
Speaker 3: during Cows fourteen years? We did it.

739
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: One year they didn't have the tournament, so we did

740
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: it all but two. I do expect we'll make the tournament.

741
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 2: Whether it's more than that, I need to see what

742
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: the roster is before I make that determination. A five

743
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We are

744
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,200

Speaker 2: see we're getting again from Drexel Dayton. This is not

771
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: Kentucky basketball standards to take these kind of dudes and

772
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be All Americans? All right, So that's

773
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 2: what you know I decided to do. Let's go look

774
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 2: at the All American list from last year?

775
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,160

784
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 2: Where'd he come from?

785
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 3: Ohio? Ohio? All right?

786
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 2: That's just them, the first two teams. Let's keep going.

787
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 2: You got Antonio Reese, where'd he come from?

788
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 5: Illinois State?

789
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: Johnny Broom, where'd he come from? Morehead State? Jade and

790
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 2: Ladie where'd he come from? Started at TCU, then he

791
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 2: went to San Diego State. My point, and then one

792
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: of them that's not here.

793
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: Deron Holmes.

794
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 2: You all even know who that is. He was second

795
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: team he played at Dayton. My point is this ain't

796
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: the college basketball. You knew it's true, right these dudes.

797
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 3: This is what's happening now.

798
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 2: Ten of the fifteen McDonald Americans last year played at

799
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: a non Power five school at some time in their career.

800
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: So my guess is that the next year's All Americans

801
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: will come some from non Power five schools.

802
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 4: That's the good of the transfer portal gives these guys

803
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 4: that maybe were under recruited out of high school, maybe

804
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 4: they were hurt in high school. Now they get a

805
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 4: chance to go to a higher level school and show

806
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 4: what kind of player they really are.

807
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 6: The top three players in the SEC all average about

808
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 6: twenty points per game, and it went Ohio, Northern Colorado,

809
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 6: and Illinois State as their first school. The top four

810
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 6: top boys.

811
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess you take the top four players in

812
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 2: the SEC last year and they started their careers at

813
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: Northern Colorado, Illinois State, Ohio and more Hits State.

814
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 3: There you go.

815
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: You know, is DJ Wagner more talented than all four

816
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 2: of those guys?

817
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 3: Maybe?

818
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 7: But who's better in college yeah, I would rather have

819
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 7: guys that already have that college experience coming from the portal.

820
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 7: We see that every year in the tournament majors having success.

821
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 3: We have some breaking news, John running.

822
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 2: On a due Thierro has announced his final five schools.

823
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 6: Give them to us, Drew, We got a little Pittsburgh,

824
00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 6: got some Indiana, North Carolina, Arkansas in Kentucky.

825
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 2: And so does Arkansas. You think there's any chance to

826
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: do Theero stays, I think pitt will be the pick.

827
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 2: But do you think there's at North Carolina? By the way, TJ. Bisner,

828
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 2: that that's the connection there in public social media back

829
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: and forth. If he ends up at North Carolina, TJ. Bisner,

830
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 2: former KSR writer, will be part of the reason why.

831
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 3: Probably, But what do you think.

832
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 4: I can see Kentucky being in the picture a lot

833
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 4: more than I can see Arkansas being in the picture.

834
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 4: I don't think that relationship between coach cal and Theuero's

835
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 4: family was a good win and by the end of

836
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 4: the season, so I'd be shocked if he picked Arkansas.

837
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 7: Be even sweeter if he did pick Kentucky and through

838
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 7: Arkansas on the mix, you know, just to say hey,

839
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 7: I'm committed recommitted to Kentucky.

840
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: I just want to tell you think about how absurd

841
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 2: it is that a former KSR writer runs the NIL

842
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: for North Carolina. I mean that would be like one day,

843
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: in like five years, Drew Franklin is running the Nile

844
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: at Duke.

845
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 6: No, thank you, hard pass on that as the guy

846
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 6: who worked kind of side by side with Bisner for

847
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 6: a few years. If you had told me that guy

848
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 6: was gonna take over you and see, then I would

849
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 6: I There's no chance I would have believed you. Just

850
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 6: the unc part alone, he's being a Kentucky fan.

851
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 3: Just the fact that he's doing this.

852
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 2: Literally, he was like, wasn't he selling like printers, selling printers?

853
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: He was selling printers in Tampa. I mean, you're talking

854
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 2: about American dream story. My man was selling printers in Tampa.

855
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 2: He had a blog. I wrote him and said, hey,

856
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 2: you're pretty good at this. Would you like to come

857
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: right on our blog? And now he's running the NIL

858
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 2: for North Carolina.

859
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 7: He's over there printing money now for the NIL.

860
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 6: I mean I took a picture with him in Atlanta

861
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 6: after the unc UK game and he had on this

862
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 6: baby blue and I'm just like, what is this like?

863
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 6: How did we get here?

864
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 3: That is unbelievable to me that that has happened. Who's

865
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: up next, Patrick Patrick?

866
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 11: Go ahead, Patrick, Hey, guys, how you guys doing.

867
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 3: Doing good?

868
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 11: Good? Hey? I just tried a question. We kind of

869
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 11: already talked about the success kind of what we expect

870
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 11: as success for the season. Some people talk about one

871
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 11: guy with at lead eight. I don't know if I

872
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 11: believe that necessarily, but I think we all kind of

873
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 11: agree that success is kind of just getting to the tournament,

874
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 11: maybe winning the game or two. But there is there

875
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 11: a chance that you know, we would see the season

876
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 11: as a failure if we don't get to the get

877
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 11: to the tournament, or you know what would be a failure.

878
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if they don't make Yeah, here's what

879
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 2: I would say about that.

880
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 3: And I appreciate the call.

881
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything he could do, Ryan Mark

882
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 2: Pope that like, you don't bring him back and you

883
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 2: don't still support him because it's we even gave Billy

884
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: Gillespie two years, right.

885
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 3: But I will say this, with the Nile funds that

886
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 3: are going to be.

887
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 2: Available, and we are going to have as much Inile

888
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 2: money as any school outside of maybe one or two

889
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 2: with funds that are available, with the name I'm on

890
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 2: the front of the jersey, with the staff their assembling,

891
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: and with the commitment from UK. Yes, he needs to

892
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 2: make the tournament or it will be a disappointment. Is

893
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 2: it a switch coaches? No, But would it be a

894
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: disappointment Ryan, it would be.

895
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 5: To me, absolutely, it would be a disappointment.

896
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 4: And I think the words that he said, he's news confert,

897
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 4: we know the assignment, he knows what's expected here, and

898
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 4: like I love you what he said about his group,

899
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 4: Chau with the ninety six guys, they will not let

900
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 4: me fail. You know, he's got that support. He's got

901
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 4: the nil support. That's why I think they will have

902
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 4: success next.

903
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 2: What it makes me feel confident though, Shannon is and

904
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to disparage people in the past, but

905
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 2: I know this dude could coach all right, So I

906
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 2: know whatever he gets, there's a really good chance he

907
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 2: gets the best out of whatever he gets. And I

908
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: think with the resources we have, there's no way he

909
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: won't be given a team that, if coached well, cannot

910
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 2: make the turn.

911
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 7: Totally agree. Sounds like he's also building up a staff

912
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 7: that breaks down the analytics of things. That's the complete

913
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 7: opposite of what we've had in the last fifteen years

914
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 7: at Kentucky. So yeah, I feel confident that they're gonna

915
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 7: make the tournament. How far they go, well, we'll see.

916
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 7: But I think for the first year, making the tournament

917
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 7: is probably what he should do.

918
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: If you're nervous about it, think about this, we're gonna

919
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 2: don't you think we'll have a better roster.

920
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 3: Than by you had last year?

921
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 6: Oh?

922
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 3: Yes, we'll have a better ride. And you know what

923
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 3: they did last year? They were a sixth seed number eight.

924
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 2: If he took a roster that's worse than the one

925
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: we're likely to have, And they were a six seed

926
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 2: playing in a conference that was as good, if not better.

927
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 3: Than ours in the first year in that.

928
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 6: That's important to note that was their first was their.

929
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: First year in that conference, and they were a sixth seed. Now,

930
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: if he can do that there, there's nothing wrong with

931
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: us expecting him to at least be a sixth seed here.

932
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 6: Amen, So appre it be Kansas more than we did

933
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 6: last year.

934
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 3: That's true.

935
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 2: We will take a break and come back our number

936
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: two here at Bluegrass Home Center in London, Kentucky.

937
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,479
Speaker 3: This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

938
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 6: Yeah,
