You don't have to talk 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.560 to them, you just you just go up on stage 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.640 and play your instrument. It's different from doing a radio show. 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.720 They don't even have to speak to each other. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.840 Right, Well, I guess both you have strong personalities, right, 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.040 and egos can take over and after a while maybe 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.120 you you harbor some resentment. Not yet, Shannon, I think 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:00.920 we're still in the right the same page, and we 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.000 talked to each other during the breaks. So a big 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:04.920 thank you to everybody that's listened over the years, and 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.440 we'd love to hear from you this morning. You know, 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.320 a couple of weeks ago, I took a shot at 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.240 Disney adults, unknowingly that Ryan Lemon may have been one 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:13.480 of them. 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:13.840 Shannon. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.560 We learned yesterday he spent his honeymoon back in nineteen 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.160 ninety one in Orlando, and he said he's been to 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.280 Disney World dozens of times. So maybe I should apologize 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.359 to the people just trying to find a little happiness 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.280 at the Magical Kingdom. 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:26.360 I'm not going to shame anybody. 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.200 If that's your thing, go for it, right, I mean, 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.000 if if you, I mean, I don't think I would 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.320 want to spend a honeymoon at Disney, But if that's 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.880 your thing, then I'm not going to shame Ryan for it. 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:35.960 Yeah. 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.040 Well I was shaming people for it, and so I 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.240 did feel a little bad when Ryan said that yesterday, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.399 but I just know you want to get on the teacups, babe. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.680 I mean, we're celebrating our wedding out for et Oh. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.440 Small world is actually what we've got playing two or 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.560 three times today. But I mean, who knew Ryan was, 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.239 you know, going to places like Orlando and Gatlinburg. It 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.560 just seems like the more tourists to track it is, 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:01.680 the more that Ryan might go to. 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.600 Well, don't worry, don't feel bad about it, because I 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.800 remember one time on the air, I said, anybody who 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.240 owns a time share is an absolute idiot. And Ryan 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.519 didn't say anything for like twenty minutes, and then we 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.560 find out later he's got a time share, Like a 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.600 why in the world did anybody have a time share? 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.880 Either rent it or own it, don't time share it. 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:22.320 It's the most ridiculous thing. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.720 I've asked. The biggest scam ever in the history of 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.239 the world is a time share? 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.040 Yeah, I've heard the same thing. I he is the 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.680 only person I know that owns a time share, So 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.360 you know that that's our lovable Ryan Lemon, and we'd 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.120 have it no other way. But I was shocked, and 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.160 I mean shocked, Shannon to hear that Ryan was driving 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:47.600 on Monday to the Tornado devastation sites while Matt was not. Shannon, 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.240 have you ever been in the car with Matt while 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.240 he was not driving, because that would definitely be a 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:51.760 first if I. 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.560 Was was that set on the show yesterday because I 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.360 wasn't listening, I must have been taking a phone call 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:55.960 when that happened. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.840 So Ryan let Ryan drive, Ryan drove, Matt drove me 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.240 on Monday. I've only seen that happen like one time ever. 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.520 That was on a road trip. But yeah, that doesn't 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:07.280 happen very often. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.120 Matt loves to drive, not surprisingly, he likes to be 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.600 in control. 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:12.560 It's fun with me. 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.039 I hate driving. I hate driving if you do. If 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:17.920 I had somebody to drive me around all the time, 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.680 that would be great. Like I'm the opposite, Like I 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.520 do not want to drop. I would rather just sit 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.960 there and ride and not have to pay attention to anything. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.080 Oh, I think it's somewhat relaxing, maybe clears your head 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.120 a little bit. You can listen to a podcast or 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.120 some music. I mean, I think you're a little bit 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.280 of a psychopath if you just listen to the engine. 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.360 But there's nothing wrong with going no music for a 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:37.919 little while. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.480 Yeah, but you're saying you don't like driving, Shannon, So 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.680 when you have to drive three hours to Pineville on 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.480 Friday and then and drive three hours back, you're not 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:46.600 gonna be having much fun. 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.240 Don't enjoy it. But you know it's part of the job. 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.760 So I will enjoy it once I get to Pineville 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:53.279 Mountain Laurel Fest. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.000 Right, that's right. So what happens at Mount Laurel Fest. 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:57.800 I guess we're gonna find out, right, Well, I guess 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.640 you guys will I guess you guys. Well, I've got 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.240 a to do the show and then jump in the 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.200 car and drive tolecs Into for another remote for WKQQ, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:06.680 my afternoon rock show. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:07.839 So I'll still able to hang around. 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.800 Look at that that guy making money double remotes on 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:11.719 Friday for Shannon. 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.400 You know when you're in demand, you're in demand. What 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:13.960 are you gonna do? 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.600 Well, you said you'd hire a driver. Would you ever 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.880 buy a Tesla or a car that drives itself? 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:20.240 I'm not there yet. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.080 Like in the future, if it can prove to me 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.040 that it's not gonna go rogue and drive me into 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.279 a lake, then yeah, I could possibly see myself wanting 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.960 to do that, but as of right now, no, I was. 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.000 I don't know if this was on TikTok or wherever 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.279 social media somewhere. There was a guy who got got 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.440 in one of those cars that drives itself, and he 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.000 was trying to get to the airport and this car 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.520 just went berserk and started driving in a parking lot 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.760 in circles and would not stop. 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:48.560 And he's in the car. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.440 Yes, and the guys like, I'm about to be late 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.200 for my flight, and you guys are gonna pay for this. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.039 And he's just calling this this one eight hundred number, 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.200 and a person's like, sir, can you log in please? 0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.600 And he's like, I don't know my log in And 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.839 he's just going in a circle and he's in a 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.479 teacup and it can't it can't get out, and this 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.400 thing just keeps going and going and go. I don't 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.440 know how it ever got resolved. I mean, for all 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.039 I know, he may still be in a parking lot 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:11.000 going in circles. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.719 Oh my gosh, that's a horror story that I'd be 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:15.320 like king and like. 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.640 Yeah, that's the reason the reason I won't jump in 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.279 it right now, Like maybe in the future when we 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.960 get this thing perfected, but not now. 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.760 I think Mario and the guys saw a driverless car 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.239 when they're in Arizona recently, and that was the first 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.839 time they have seen that. But I have yet to 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.960 see one. So maybe we need to go to a 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.240 bigger city where it's more common. But I'm all for it, Shannon, 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.960 if I can take a nap and close my eyes, 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.080 I'm I'm all about it. But it seems like you've 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:41.800 got to keep your hands on the wheel or at 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.000 least be kind of present while you're there. But we'll 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:49.120 just see how technology advances. When Matt writes a book 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.080 about Kentucky Sports Radio, I got to think that you're 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:53.800 gonna be a big part of it, Shannon. I mean, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.400 you've been a producer for how many years on KSR? 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:01.960 This will be fourteen years now. I guess, yeah, team, Yeah, 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.359 I might. I might get like a mentioned in the 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.279 what is the Ford? I might get a mentioned in that. 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.080 Oh come one more than that. 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.240 Yeah, I mean, there's gonna be a whole few pages 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.960 on the first day and you guys screaming at Tony 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.000 Vannetti saying I'm not gonna work with this guy. I mean, 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:18.640 there's gonna be some good stories in there. 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.200 Yeah, I'm kind of with him. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.720 Like, I see people write these autobiographies and you're twenty 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:23.360 six years old. 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:24.880 I'm going, you haven't even lived life yet. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.320 You're barely out of the womb, and you're writing your autobiography. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.320 You know, you gotta of course, you don't want to 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.160 wait too late, because you never know when this ride's 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.120 gonna end. But uh, you know, I think we still 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.240 got God willing a few more years in us, So 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.120 I think maybe we wait before that that autobiography or 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.560 behind the scenes tell all of KSR book has ever written. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:46.080 Yeah, what was the example given? 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.760 Kim Kardashian's already got one and she's already making a second, 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.640 so it's like, maybe just wait until you can make one. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.880 But I mean the chapter on beaver nuggets and mimosas 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.480 and barbecue, I mean that will be legendary, Shannon. So 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.360 I'm looking forward to this. I don't know, well, it 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.040 just uh, I think it will come to fruition. 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.640 One of these days. I think Matt will write another book, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:05.680 So I'll be looking forward to that. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.520 Well, maybe you'll be writing it, you never know, Like 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:08.840 who's to say he has to be the one to 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:09.160 write it. 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:10.840 You can. You can write about all you're behind the 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.760 scene and do a tell all book. Oh my own book. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:16.600 That's what you're saying.

I 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.680 should be keeping a journal, a diary so that I 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.040 can remember some of these things, because you know, you 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.920 tell stories from a long time ago, and the details 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.800 get lost in the mix, or sometimes you embellish a 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.880 little bit to make the story better than what it is. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:14.200 So I don't you know, I try to tell like 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:15.760 the stories exactly the way they were. 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.160 I try not to embellish. 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.040 I listen to Annettie tell me stories about his early 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.360 days already, I'll go, come on, Tony, that didn't really happen, 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:22.640 did it? 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.560 Yeah? Yeah, And the story gets crazy and crazy every 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:26.080 single time. 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.800 I've heard you tell me the story five times, and 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.640 it gets crazier every time you tell me. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:32.559 Oh, I'm definitely one of those people. 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.600 Maybe a little dramatic, maybe a little embellishment from the 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.040 college days, but you know what, I think, it's it's 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:38.719 all fair game. 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:39.880 But no, you're right. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.520 Maybe we should start journaling, had maybe a little dream journal. 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.319 Would you write down your dreams every morning? 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.360 I don't ever remember them. I mean I shouldn't say ever, 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.160 like ever, you don't ever remember I should I shouldn't 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.160 say ever rarely. I mean, I don't know what I 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.079 dreamt about last night. Do you or do we want to. 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.160 Know, no, No, I guess I don't know. You and 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.760 Jennifer Lawrence, well, I mean that's daydreaming, Shane, and I 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.360 don't have to go to sleep for that, but I mean, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.760 like that droll off your face, it's like, yeah, you 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.880 kind of forget in the first five minutes after you 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:10.400 wake up. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.240 But I don't know. Sometimes you can have a lucid dream, Shane. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:14.840 And you ever have a lucid dream where you feel 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.600 like you're awake and I have you can control things 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:18.520 and stuff like that. 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:19.560 I have, I've had that. 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.760 I've also had it like where you're I don't know 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.080 if it's a lucid dream, but you're half awake, half asleep, 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.040 but you're paralyzed and you can't move. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.480 Yeah, is that a lucid dream? I think. 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.199 I don't know if the definition of it is, but 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.880 I think that could be considered one lucid dream. I 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.040 always thought was like you could control what was going on, 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.880 you knew you were dreaming. But I've also had that 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.160 experience where I felt like I was above my body 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:43.280 watching myself sleep. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.680 Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, now we're getting in like into 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:51.000 the weird paranormal paranormal conversation. But I've had that too, 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.400 like where you feel like you can't move and you 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.839 can hear noises and you can see shadows and stuff, 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:58.600 but you can't move. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:00.800 That's scary. That freaks me out. 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.720 It only happened to me one time, though. It's like, 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.160 is this habitual for you or is no? No, it's 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:06.680 it's happened like a few times. 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.280 But I could vividly hear like, you know, like a 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.839 recliner when somebody's kicked back in a recliner and they 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.720 got the leg part up and then they when they 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.560 get back up, do you hear that that noise of 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.360 that bottom part of the leg rest going back into 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.400 the recliner. I can remember hearing that vividly and looking 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.760 over and I could hear it, but I couldn't see 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:32.800 anything like and I couldn't move. It's really weird, really 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.960 really weird. So I think we're talking about the same thing. 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.880 It's strange. I mean dreams here, who we get Kentucky's 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.200 got a new player on the roster. Here we are 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:42.640 talking about dream Shannon nine hundred. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.000 This is what we do. This is this is the 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:45.440 pre show. 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.679 Okay, we'll talk about Braden Hawthorne, the newest commit for 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.120 Kentucky here in a little bit. 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:54.160 Well, ask him if he's ever had lucid dreams. Do 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:54.880 you have dreams? 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:55.240 Then? 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:56.760 Do you have lucid dreams? Yes, so I got a 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.920 dream of playing at Kentucky and going to the NBA. 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:01.439 That's exactly right. 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:02.960 And it may take a little while for him to 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.520 get there. Maybe that's just the natural transition. SEA mean, 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.360 maybe we should should start talking about Braden Hawthorne because 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.120 the four Star twenty twenty five Wing will be the 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:15.000 newest edition of the Kentucky roster, the fourteenth roster spot 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.600 if you believe otega Oway will return. And for all 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.800 the people that have asked if can poop Mark Pope 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:26.520 and recruit Mark Pope Shannon, I think you have to 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.679 be impressed with what he's done. I mean, how if 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.520 you can convince a top thirty player to be your 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.560 fourteenth man on the roster, I think that shows you 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.040 that Pope is in control. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.240 Well, it tells me a commitment longer than one year. 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.320 You're not coming here if you're in the top thirty 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:45.040 top thirty five ranked players as the fourteenth guy and 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.079 staying for one year, Right, I think that you're you've 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.520 shown a commitment to Okay, I'm going to be fourteenth now, 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.960 but I'm going to work myself up to being a 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.400 guy who can get a meaningful minutes in the next 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.319 year or two. So yeah, that's pretty impressive though, to 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.040 be able to get somebody that highly ranked and convince 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.640 them and sell the product of Kentucky basketball to where 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.280 they're okay, being the fourteenth guy? 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:09.840 Is red shirting still a thing? 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.560 Like you know, of course, a guy like Colin Chandler 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.680 can play some minutes and develop and be a much 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.120 better player the next year. But to convince a freshman 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.000 to come in as the fourteenth member of the team, 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.280 I mean, you are basically red shirting this guy unless 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.760 you are going to get into some injury issues. So 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.920 in this college landscape, I think it's extremely impressive to 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.200 get a it's such a talented guy to buy in 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.920 like that. But on the flip side of that, how 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.960 do you not see what's going on in Kentucky and want. 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:37.480 To be a part of it? 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:37.840 Right? 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:39.520 Yeah? I think so. 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.600 I mean we were trying to figure out yesterday who 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.200 would be our starting five, and you look at the 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:45.640 transfers that you get you know, got a guy out 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.480 from Alabama, guy from Florida, got from Tulane that's transferred in. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.080 You know, some really talented freshmen that are coming into 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:53.920 So I think that Pope has done a great job. 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:54.719 And we knew that he was. 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.320 I mean, you know, we're saying, look at what he 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.040 did in the first year quickly throwing that roster together. 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.480 You have a team that it's you know, look like 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.319 they could have you know, if they could have gotten 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.280 by Tennessee, could have made a run to the final four. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.720 So you know, now you give him a fresh start 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.000 after the year, give him a full recruiting season, and 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:12.960 he's put together one hell of a roster so far. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:17.040 Braden Hawthorne gave this quote to Travis Brandham yesterday. If 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.760 I come in and do what I got to do, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.120 then I will have an opportunity to play. If not, 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.200 I'm going to put my head down and keep working 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.240 and get ready for the next year and do what 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.960 I can to support my team. And that's the mindset 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.920 you have to have. This is a guy that was 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.000 originally a guard and then had a growth spurt. So Shannon, 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.920 while he's considered a wing, he's somebody that can handle 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.960 the ball pretty well. And if he can gain some strength. 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.440 He's six' eight point eighty, five he can put on 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.840 a little. Muscle shan maybe The Trent noah gain eighteen, 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.680 pounds then maybe he is somebody that can be a 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.560 huge contributor next. 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.400 YEAR i like that mentality from that quote because that's 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.720 rare these, days BECAUSE i feel like most players now 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.840 have the mentality Of, Okay i'm not going to play, 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.480 well Then i'm just going to go transfer somewhere.
