Speaker 2: All right, welcome back our number two Kentucky Sports Radio,
Speaker 2: Ryan Drew and Shannon Matt is off in Amsterdam. He
Speaker 2: just tweeted a picture which about thirty minutes ago of like.
Speaker 4: A scene scene no tulips, no tulips.
Speaker 2: No tulips, just a lot of water and buildings. Okay,
Speaker 2: but he is. He has made it to Amsterdam and
Speaker 2: he's there. Which, by the way, they had a car
Speaker 2: bombing yesterday in the middle of the city. Uh so,
Speaker 2: I don't think it injured anybody, but uh gotta be
Speaker 2: careful out there. So look, few players, high school players
Speaker 2: in the state of Kentucky have done what this guy
Speaker 2: has done. That is when mister basketball win a state championship,
Speaker 2: MVP of the state championship game and you're going to Kentucky.
Speaker 2: The only ones I could think were Darius Miller. I
Speaker 2: believe he pulled it off, and maybe maybe Perry Travis Perry.
Speaker 2: He would be another back to back teammate, future teammates.
Speaker 2: Yeah so, uh so we want to get him on
Speaker 2: and talk to himaut that a heck of a week.
Speaker 2: Just finished playing the McDonald's All American Game.
Speaker 5: Got to be exhausted.
Speaker 2: He was here this summer. Did a show this summer
Speaker 2: with him and his brother Michael, so Malachi Marino joining us. Malachi,
Speaker 2: I think this is your spring break. Aren't you supposed
Speaker 2: to be on the beat somewhere?
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, I didn't have any time to travel.
Speaker 6: I was playing basketball.
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, congratulations, let's just go kind of
Speaker 2: go in order. Mister basketball, that was the announced first.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a dream of every Kentucky kid when
Speaker 2: you're shooting ball in your driveway. Did someday name mister basketball?
Speaker 2: You got that? How'd that make you feel?
Speaker 6: It was a privilege and honor just to kind of
Speaker 6: be in that kind of in that kind of name,
Speaker 6: with the history it's had. You know, it's always the
Speaker 6: best player in state of Kentucky that wins it. And
Speaker 6: once I heard my name called it, it was a
Speaker 6: It was truly a blessing.
Speaker 5: You're and your great crossing teammates just lifted the trophy
Speaker 5: and reparena last week. But the year before you were
Speaker 5: knocking on the door, made it to the Simmis got
Speaker 5: knocked out. How much did the getting so close as
Speaker 5: a junior? Did that motivate you in the in your
Speaker 5: senior season? And what was it like finally getting the
Speaker 5: job done in your last year with your high school
Speaker 5: friends and teammates, A great crossing.
Speaker 6: It definitely motivated us just because we were juniors and
Speaker 6: we were right there like we had it in our hands,
Speaker 6: and unfortunately we got knocked off. So we came back.
Speaker 6: It was our senior year, it was our last year,
Speaker 6: so we knew we wanted to go out with a bang.
Speaker 6: And I mean, I don't think there's no bigger bang
Speaker 6: than becoming a state champion in the state of Kentucky's
Speaker 6: you are.
Speaker 5: You and Travis just gonna be wearing your rings around
Speaker 5: the UK facility, showing them off, shining them off in
Speaker 5: front of everybody once you get to campus.
Speaker 6: Now ill everybody know I'm at champion.
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's pretty cool your core group
Speaker 2: of guys LJ. Gage, Vincent, you you guys have been
Speaker 2: starting since you were like sophomores, played something as even
Speaker 2: as freshmen. That's kind of cool to you when you
Speaker 2: got a group of guys together like that that you
Speaker 2: have been on this journey to end with the state championship.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we've all kind of grown up together,
Speaker 6: you know. Me, Gage and Vince. We played travel ball
Speaker 6: together for so long, and then you know, we made
Speaker 6: the decision to go to high school together. Then we
Speaker 6: brought LJ into the mix, and I think just us
Speaker 6: playing with each other so much, it kind of felt
Speaker 6: like second nature, like nothing really changed, and we knew
Speaker 6: how each other played, we knew how each other functioning,
Speaker 6: and it just made playing together so much easier.
Speaker 5: It was impressive from you to go from upping the
Speaker 5: Sweet sixteen to the McDonald's All American Game a few
Speaker 5: days later, then on short rest, you have a great
Speaker 5: game on the national stage against some of the best
Speaker 5: players in your class. What was just that timeline like
Speaker 5: of getting there, getting acclimated with everybody, and then having
Speaker 5: that big game That seems like a whirlwind few days
Speaker 5: for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So, you know, we had the two games for
Speaker 6: the state semifinals and the finals on that Saturday, and
Speaker 6: then we had our police escort back to the school,
Speaker 6: a little little hoop while at the school kind of thing,
Speaker 6: just to celebrate our win. And then I had to
Speaker 6: go home and immediately start packing because I flew out
Speaker 6: at six am the next morning. But I was able,
Speaker 6: you know, I was able to talk with the staff
Speaker 6: at McDonald's, and they were They gave me the opportunity
Speaker 6: to stay at home and win the state championship because
Speaker 6: you know, I'm always team over myself, so I wanted
Speaker 6: to win that state championship before I went to New York,
Speaker 6: and they allowed me to do that. So it was
Speaker 6: truly I was extremely grateful.
Speaker 5: There are some stories written while you're up there that
Speaker 5: you might have been talking to more than coaches, maybe
Speaker 5: another McDonald's All American. You might have done a little
Speaker 5: recruiting for Kentucky there. Did you and Nate have any
Speaker 5: conversations you can tell us about.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we definitely had a couple of conversations, But I mean,
Speaker 6: at the end of the day, it's his decision. It's
Speaker 6: about where he wants to find the best fit for
Speaker 6: himself and hopefully it's in the big Blue.
Speaker 2: Why what do you like about what Pope did this
Speaker 2: year and how do you see yourself fitting in next
Speaker 2: year when you put on that Kentucky uniform?
Speaker 6: Then I would definitely say just the system he has.
Speaker 6: I mean, coming into the job, a lot of people
Speaker 6: were very doubtful, but he came in he was ready
Speaker 6: to work from day one. And I mean the season
Speaker 6: kind of speaks for itself. They were break top ten
Speaker 6: for a really long time. I mean, injury riddled and
Speaker 6: still producing the same. I think that really showed the
Speaker 6: kind of a type of coach he is, and that
Speaker 6: makes me really excited, just because he's a coach that
Speaker 6: never gives up and he's always fighting to the end.
Speaker 6: And I see it's like that's something I always play
Speaker 6: for because I played to win, and I mean he's
Speaker 6: going to be a great coach to play for.
Speaker 5: He's still building his roster. But has he given you
Speaker 5: any indication of how he wants to use you or
Speaker 5: maybe anything he had you working on in particular during
Speaker 5: your season senior season to be ready for Kentucky. You're
Speaker 5: just any kind of thing that Pope has kind of
Speaker 5: steered you in a direction of how he wants you
Speaker 5: to play as a freshman.
Speaker 6: Kind of just to play with confidence. You know, the
Speaker 6: way Mario Williams played, he puts a lot of trust
Speaker 6: in It's five man and he told me he has
Speaker 6: a lot of trust in me. He decided for me
Speaker 6: to get on campus and just to play with confidence
Speaker 6: and just to play for the name on the front.
Speaker 6: You know a prosper for the name on the back.
Speaker 5: Hey you mentioned Amri did did you try any of
Speaker 5: the weed to Bix? I know it really helped them
Speaker 5: Mari get to, you know, maximize his potential. Did you
Speaker 5: get in on the wied to Bix praise with all
Speaker 5: a big blue nation during the tournament?
Speaker 6: I do, indeed need to try wet to Bix. I
Speaker 6: gotta find it somewhere in the store, but I'm gonna
Speaker 6: try it. I heard it's really good, so we'll.
Speaker 2: Sold out right now.
Speaker 5: But we'll find you something. You can't find them in Kentucky.
Speaker 6: Now, I'm gonna have to go somewhere find so.
Speaker 2: Uh. You know, I've I've seen you play in your
Speaker 2: middle school days when you're playing against my son and
Speaker 2: middle school ball and summer ball and stuff. I've been
Speaker 2: so impressed with your develop and as a player. What
Speaker 2: do you attribute that to? Do you know? Because as
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, the best two games I think
Speaker 2: I've ever seen you play were the semifinal game and
Speaker 2: the final state finals. I mean, you were a man
Speaker 2: child out there in those two games.
Speaker 6: I kind of distributed it to everyone that's helped me
Speaker 6: along the process. I mean in the summer. I could
Speaker 6: have went to a prep school, I could have left Kentucky,
Speaker 6: but I decided to stay home because everyone around me
Speaker 6: had always pushed me to be better. They had always
Speaker 6: helped me get better, and I mean, there's no reason
Speaker 6: to leave that because I mean, if it ain't broke,
Speaker 6: don't fix it. So I had no reason to go,
Speaker 6: and they pushed me to be better and it really
Speaker 6: helped me. And I'm I'm truly blessed with the people
Speaker 6: I have around me.
Speaker 5: I saw you at several Kentucky home games throughout the season. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean you might not have missed one. You were
Speaker 5: a fixture in Reperina. Did you ever have the urge
Speaker 5: to just go sit over at the bench? And how
Speaker 5: excited are you to finally I guess Big Blue Madness
Speaker 5: would be your big Reperenda debut as a Wildcab And
Speaker 5: are you excited to finally be a part of the
Speaker 5: team after watching so many games up close?
Speaker 6: Yes, because just like being in Repreena and just feeling
Speaker 6: the energy that comes from the crowd. I mean, you
Speaker 6: can feel so much of it as a as a
Speaker 6: fan watching the game, but I feel like it's even
Speaker 6: better when you're on the court playing and you hear
Speaker 6: all those people chanting go big Blue.
Speaker 2: Well, listen, man, we were really proud of you. Congratulations
Speaker 2: on all your accolades, mister basketball state champion McDonald's All America.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a kid's dream. Man. It does it all,
Speaker 2: It does it all. So very excited for you to
Speaker 2: start your career at Kentucky. We appreciate you spending some
Speaker 2: time with us here during your spring break. You still
Speaker 2: got a couple couple of days left. You gotta go
Speaker 2: back to school on Monday, so enjoy a couple of days. Malachi,
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, all right, appreciate it. Malachi Marino,
Speaker 2: the next big superstar coming to Kentucky. I mean, dude,
Speaker 2: he's living the dream right now. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Not that there were, you know, any questions about him,
Speaker 5: but him going to McDonald's American game just two days
Speaker 5: later and playing as well as he did against the
Speaker 5: top players in his class. That just added to the
Speaker 5: excitement of him coming to Kentucky and being a part
Speaker 5: of that freshman group with you know, another hometown or
Speaker 5: a home steak guy and Jasper Johnson and then a
Speaker 5: Kayden lewis very exciting. You know, we don't know a
Speaker 5: lot about the roster in these weird times of portal season,
Speaker 5: but I think we're not giving those three enough credit
Speaker 5: as we're looking at these guys from all these other
Speaker 5: schools and trying to figure out who they are. So
Speaker 5: not forget, Pope's got three very good commitments already.
Speaker 2: And I think those three guys are gonna play.
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Three guys are definitely gonna be on the floor a
Speaker 2: lot in play.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Big Blue Nation. We're pulling our hair out, you know,
Speaker 5: looking at the portal and is this guy the one?
Speaker 5: This one's going here? Where's Pope? But there's three guys
Speaker 5: that are ready to go right away. I think Malachi
Speaker 5: made a big statement at the McDonald's American Game to prove.
Speaker 2: That any portal news we need to hit on before
Speaker 2: we move on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's lots of new names. I'm still intrigued by Pierre,
Speaker 5: who I called Jason yesterday. But there's the pit guard
Speaker 5: Jalen Lowe. He's in the mix. A new name emerged today.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to pull it up. Jacob posted it right
Speaker 5: as the show started. Uh, don't want to get it wrong.
Speaker 5: Xavian Lee the Princeton point guard. I'd freely admit I'd
Speaker 5: never heard of this guy, told Jacob post the story.
Speaker 5: But I mean, we all just look at numbers. If
Speaker 5: if anyone out there has really watched all of these
Speaker 5: kids and and really has a good scouting report, I'll
Speaker 5: listen to you. But we're just going by stats at
Speaker 5: this point. It's a sixty three point guard average, seventeen points,
Speaker 5: six rebounds, and five and a half assists. Having not
Speaker 5: seen any tape on him yet, that sounds pretty good.
Speaker 5: He's another one that's popped on the radar. But you know,
Speaker 5: we've told Big Blue Nation to take a deep breath
Speaker 5: and Pope will get it figured out. But we are
Speaker 5: getting pretty antsy to get one of these because it's
Speaker 5: just name popping up, name popping up, name popping up,
Speaker 5: and it's moving quickly. Guys are committing the places in.
Speaker 5: Kentucky needs to start getting some.
Speaker 2: Because Dimery, the kid from Georgia picked Yukon. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: that's another guy Kentucky was in on. But any time
Speaker 2: you see a point guard into the portal, a good
Speaker 2: point guard, you got to know Kentucky's gonna make contact.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and yaxell i think we all still want Yaxl
Speaker 5: the UAB forward. Yeah, I mean he's the He's the
Speaker 5: number one ranked on a lot of the portal rankings.
Speaker 5: But uh, you know, I'm still I'm still trusting Pope
Speaker 5: and giving him patience. But I admit i'm a little
Speaker 5: antsy too. It's time started locking them down for being honest.
Speaker 5: Louisville has done a great job so far. Louisvill's loaded up.
Speaker 5: Louisville might have the best backcourt in the country next season,
Speaker 5: which is hard to say. I said this on Twitter,
Speaker 5: maybe they'll win a tournament game. Their fans got so
Speaker 5: sensitive just a simple tweet. I said they're gonna have
Speaker 5: a great backcourt, might win a tournament game, and my
Speaker 5: Twitter has just been nonstopa Troya. They're the softest bunch
Speaker 5: of fans ever. But I will tip the cap to
Speaker 5: uh Pat and his pat signal. They've gotten some big commitments.
Speaker 5: He's doing well, so Pope needs to get it in
Speaker 5: gear shouting.
Speaker 2: Out if you know this or not. But I'm not
Speaker 2: just a radio host. I'm also a realtor.
Speaker 7: I've heard that, heard that, So.
Speaker 2: I've got some inside scoop on some realtor scuttle butt.
Speaker 2: You know, John Calipari sold his big house there on
Speaker 2: Richmond Roe, the main Street mansion. The guy who bought it. Now,
Speaker 2: it's kind of leaked out. The first time he went
Speaker 2: into the house, they were, you know, doing their walkthrough,
Speaker 2: and there was one room that was locked, and so
Speaker 2: they finally got in the room, and you know it
Speaker 2: was in that room was full of timeout. We'll be
Speaker 2: right back. This is Kentucky' Sports Radio.
Speaker 7: You're really proud of that one, aren't you.

Speaker 5: I guess I should let Billy read with them and
Speaker 5: I'll let him rest his voice there. He's had a
Speaker 5: long morning already. Let's talk about VOA Mid States. It's
Speaker 5: part of Volunteers of America. That's what the VOA is for.

Speaker 5: org to learn more, or call five oh two six
Speaker 5: three six four or five three zero.
Speaker 2: Ladies, jal without further ado, here's our KSR General manager,
Speaker 2: Billy R. Sports, who left his car running his driveway
Speaker 2: for about ten hours the other day. Ten hours, ten hours. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you very much.
Speaker 4: Uh great to be with you. I will say, though
Speaker 4: I hated the homework assignment. How did this happen? I
Speaker 4: gots Florida? You got hosed, you had Florida, Mario switched
Speaker 4: it on you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks a lot Mario.
Speaker 2: He's a thing.
Speaker 5: We all know. Mario's Ksr's favorite child. Anytime we go out, Mario, Mario, Mario.
Speaker 5: Where's Mario? Let's get picture with the Mario. He just
Speaker 5: does what he wants. Now he's out of control, Bill,
Speaker 5: he just took your team.
Speaker 4: And unfortunately he's the only one I can pick on
Speaker 4: since he's the only one younger than me.
Speaker 2: So he traded Duke for Florida. So now you got
Speaker 2: stuck with So what are your five fun facts on
Speaker 2: the Duke Blue Devils.
Speaker 4: Well, I know how much this audience loves Duke, so
Speaker 4: I'm going to stay away from the basketball stuff for
Speaker 4: the most part. Okay, okay, So we'll start with how
Speaker 4: much tobacco means to the universe or to Duke univers
Speaker 4: I've not heard that it means a lot.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: The university actually had several different names when it first
Speaker 4: started as a college. It was named Trinity College for
Speaker 4: sixty five years from eighteen fifty nine to nineteen twenty four,
Speaker 4: but they eventually changed it because tobacco businessman James Buchanan
Speaker 4: Duke made generous donations to the school. It meant so
Speaker 4: much to them that they named the school after his
Speaker 4: late father, Washington Duke. But yet, Ryan, it is a
Speaker 4: tobacco free campus. Despite how influential tobacco is. Tobacco kind
Speaker 4: of built Duke University. Now it's tobacco free.
Speaker 8: Campus, absolutely right.
Speaker 2: Well, it's a good little fun fact there, dre it is.
Speaker 5: He's off to good start.
Speaker 8: Let's go to tradition.
Speaker 4: You know, Duke is a lot like Kentucky in a way.
Speaker 4: They don't do any court stormings and they never will.
Speaker 4: But Ryan, after big wins they burn benches, not mattresses
Speaker 4: or couches, but benches. After the nineteen eighty six National
Speaker 4: title game, after they lost to Louisville, the student body
Speaker 4: was so angry that they started bonfires of school benches
Speaker 4: after the game. Later in nineteen ninety, to try to
Speaker 4: prevent this, the school sanctioned like a watch party where
Speaker 4: they had bonfires after the game. So now after every
Speaker 4: win versus North Carolina, they have a tradition where they
Speaker 4: burn benches. But yet these events are often sanctioned by
Speaker 4: the schools so they can do it safely.
Speaker 2: So it's started with a bunch of juvenile delinquents.
Speaker 4: And vandals vandalism. After I lost to Louisville and the
Speaker 4: title game in nineteen eighty six turns into a tradition
Speaker 4: where they burn benches after they beat North.
Speaker 2: Do you think that about that one, Shannon.
Speaker 3: I think that we do it better. Nobody burns benches.
Speaker 3: We like couches.
Speaker 5: And everybody they do. They just couldn't take it.
Speaker 2: After get it.
Speaker 4: Let's go to the alumni. As you guys talked about
Speaker 4: alnai from some of these schools. I mean, they have astronauts, politicians, billionaires.
Speaker 4: It's hard to know where to start, but here's a
Speaker 4: couple names. Richard Nixon, the former president, the Duke Duke alumni.
Speaker 4: Apple CEO Tim Cook went to Duke. NBA commissioner Adam
Speaker 4: Silver went to the Duke University. Kyrie Irving and Grant
Speaker 4: Hill being a couple of the basketball names. Here's a
Speaker 4: couple more. Matt Jones, he may have heard of him
Speaker 4: as an alum of Duke University, and Ran Paul actually
Speaker 4: went to Duke that as well. He completed his residency
Speaker 4: at Duke before moving to Bowling Green where he was
Speaker 4: a licensed physician.
Speaker 5: Really, we went to Duke with Matt to see his
Speaker 5: law school, and they have all the pictures of past classes.
Speaker 5: And we actually saw Richard Nixon, young Richard Nixon's face.
Speaker 5: He pointed that out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we saw Matt's photo and he was the
Speaker 2: tallest one in the photo.
Speaker 4: That's what I was going to ask. Was there pictures
Speaker 4: of mats Oh?
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, and he graduated I think second in
Speaker 2: in his class at Duke los Yes, I know, that's
Speaker 2: pretty impressive.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 4: Number four, Let's go to their nickname, the Blue Devils.
Speaker 4: Back in nineteen twenty one, Trinity College students newspaper held
Speaker 4: a contest to find a catchy name that would be
Speaker 4: instantly recognizable. Here were the nominations, right, the Blue Titans,
Speaker 4: the Blue Eagles, the Polar Bears, the Royal Blazes, the
Speaker 4: Blue Warriors, and the Duke Blue Devils. Well, they didn't
Speaker 4: pick any of those names. They played without a nickname
Speaker 4: for two years, and then in nineteen twenty three, the
Speaker 4: student newspaper just started casually using Blue Devils. It was
Speaker 4: not met with any opposition, and then eventually adopted adopted it.
Speaker 2: I like the Blue Polar Bears. I would have voted
Speaker 2: for that one. I like the Polar Bears too. I
Speaker 2: think that would have been a Counties, the Polar Bears.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, we get from free T shirts
Speaker 2: from there. Yes we did, Yes we did.
Speaker 4: And finally, my final fact, because it is a fact.
Speaker 4: Duke sucks.
Speaker 5: Like that, that's the best fact of the day. Are
Speaker 5: sports well done?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 4: Proud of a pause from ksprppraatiate everybody? If I can
Speaker 4: throw in one extra bonus fact, Yes, Duke scientists are
Speaker 4: credited with making a working invisibility cloak. If you've ever
Speaker 4: watched Harry Potter back in the mid twenty tens, I
Speaker 4: think it was they created a real invisibility cloak that
Speaker 4: could cover centimeter I guess big objects.
Speaker 2: And it works, and it works.
Speaker 4: I guess the light shines through it instead of around it.
Speaker 2: How does that happen? How does that work?
Speaker 5: I don't know, but it seems like one more thing
Speaker 5: we don't need to invent.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, the Harry Potter experts.
Speaker 2: So that's true, very very true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just another fun fact.
Speaker 2: But there you go.
Speaker 5: There's the Duke universe.
Speaker 2: Good job, Billy. So you're off the Louisville doing the
Speaker 2: Terry Miners show.
Speaker 4: Got terry Miners to do today? From three to six
Speaker 4: we'll tell them.
Speaker 2: We all say hello, I will Terry Miners absolutely radio
Speaker 2: legend out of Louisville. He's the best, he is the best.
Speaker 2: All right, good job, good job, all right? Eight five
Speaker 2: nine two A two two eight seven. Mario will be
Speaker 2: able with his Florida fun facts in the next segment,
Speaker 2: so get testay tuned for that. But we got the
Speaker 2: little time if we take a break, so we won't
Speaker 2: take a phone call Shannon.
Speaker 7: Let's go to Brian and Franklin.
Speaker 2: Brian and Franklin, go ahead.
Speaker 9: Brian and gentlemen also have another fact to piggyback in
Speaker 9: on Shannon's facts that he has from Auburn. Uh, Clark's wife,
Speaker 9: Nancy was a former Miss Kentucky as well, just to
Speaker 9: kind of piggyback in on that.
Speaker 2: Who's Who's Clark Clarklee the trainer? Oh okay, gotcha, Clark Lee.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Auburn one of your fact Franklin.
Speaker 7: I don't think his name was Clark Lee.
Speaker 5: Clark Lee is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, that wasn't not not Clarklee.
Speaker 9: Sorry, yes, Clark's Clark Peers Clark Pearson.
Speaker 3: Okay, it was something Pierson, I don't know Clark Lee
Speaker 3: and looked at me like I'm an idiot.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Yeah, that was all right, trying fact.
Speaker 9: All right, So next fact is that you know that
Speaker 9: the University of Tennessee still has not ever made a
Speaker 9: final four in men's basketball.
Speaker 2: I have heard that.
Speaker 5: That is awesome, right, it's pretty awesome.
Speaker 9: Well, I'm just gonna ask, can I take a stab
Speaker 9: at a parody?
Speaker 5: I know what Matt would say, but he's gone, but

Speaker 2: Reds cannot score a run.

Speaker 2: scramble always sails out. It's so popular they're not going
Speaker 2: to play it on two courses out there at the
Speaker 2: University Club one. One side is already full. They're trying
Speaker 2: to fill up the second side. So if you want

Speaker 5: Sports Radio dot com, you front it there. I don't
Speaker 5: want to scare anyone away, but do you know who
Speaker 5: the defending champion that scramble is at that course?
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be the team of Drew Franklin.

Speaker 5: had that good of a score and we turn it
Speaker 5: in and started looking at the scoreboards like, wait a minute,
Speaker 5: I think we're gonna win this. So that was I
Speaker 5: think it was the same day that you went to jail.
Speaker 2: Oh last time we got at the university club. I
Speaker 2: think you're right.
Speaker 14: I won.
Speaker 2: You won.
Speaker 5: My team with my dad and brother in law and
Speaker 5: friend Corey. We won because there's two courses. We won
Speaker 5: the I think we were on Wildcat, which is a
Speaker 5: little more difficult one. It was like fourteen or fifteen hunder,
Speaker 5: which in a scramble that's pretty low. That's usually like
Speaker 5: seventh place. But it shows how tough it was today.
Speaker 5: So I don't want to scare you by it away.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, come get some, come get some of
Speaker 5: this challenge.
Speaker 2: Well, if you got c to the j on your team,
Speaker 2: that scores not legitimate.

Speaker 5: Kind of Kentucky connections.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we can't adopt him. That's why he was
Speaker 2: there at Repparena watching Amy the Fan, Welcome to a BBN.
Speaker 2: All right, we got a couple of calls on. We
Speaker 2: haven't taken a lot of calls today, Sorry about that,
Speaker 2: but we had some special things we wanted to do.
Speaker 2: So Shannon, who we got Blake? Blake, go ahead, Blake.
Speaker 15: Hey guys, I've got a question for Ryan and for Drew.
Speaker 15: I want Drew to give us like the best case
Speaker 15: scenario of a starting five for transfer portal, everything, like
Speaker 15: what we hope is best. And I want Ryan to
Speaker 15: give us christ of ball prediction of what he thinks
Speaker 15: the starting five will be next year. I know that
Speaker 15: we don't know, but just put it out in the
Speaker 15: eather and see what we get, and I'll hang up
Speaker 15: a list.
Speaker 2: That I appreciate. Drew, you go first, Well, who we
Speaker 2: got back?
Speaker 5: We gotta have a way in there, so I'm gonna slow.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put him at the three. I mean, I'm
Speaker 5: just completely guessing on this because there's so many names
Speaker 5: up there. I'll put uh uh Pierre from Jacksonville State
Speaker 5: at the two. I kind of like the the new
Speaker 5: Princeton guard that just popped up this morning. I'll make
Speaker 5: him our one. Yaxell, we gotta get Yaxell. We might
Speaker 5: have to overpay for Yaxel and Brandon Garrison. I don't
Speaker 5: know if Yaxell and Garrison works. Maybe it does. I'll
Speaker 5: say Garrison at the fIF I'm almost the same. And
Speaker 5: no one write that down and say this is Drew's
Speaker 5: prediction because that was completely off the cuff and not
Speaker 5: knowing as much of the portal as I should.
Speaker 2: So I was gonna go Otega and Garrison starters returners.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw Yaxell in there.
Speaker 5: Gotta get I want Yaxel, He's the star. Gotta go
Speaker 5: get a stud.
Speaker 2: Whether if if Auburt leads for him or Alabama leads
Speaker 2: for him, I think it's he's still in a good
Speaker 2: position with him and the other two I think will
Speaker 2: be guys we haven't even talked about yet. I think
Speaker 2: they're at some point guard we don't know yet, and
Speaker 2: they're there. Fist Start will be somebody we haven't talked
Speaker 2: about yet.
Speaker 5: I mentioned his name, but Jayleen Lowe from Pittsburgh is
Speaker 5: another one there and on that could be the point guard.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: It didn't really get into him, but he was on
Speaker 5: a crappy Pittsburgh team, but put up great numbers and
Speaker 5: was all all acc maybe third team, he's another one
Speaker 5: in the mix.
Speaker 2: Was there another question the guy had Nope? I think
Speaker 2: I was all all right, Shan, let's get another caller.
Speaker 7: Who we got Darren?
Speaker 5: Darren? Go ahead, Darren.
Speaker 16: Good morning guys.
Speaker 2: Hello Darren.
Speaker 13: Can you hear me?
Speaker 2: We hear you?
Speaker 8: Yes, sir?
Speaker 16: All right, mine, I guess this is kind of a
Speaker 16: continuation of the last I've got a question and a comment. First.
Speaker 16: My question is kind of follow up. How many of
Speaker 16: these guys do you think, uh that on the roster
Speaker 16: we have right now will come back? I mean, what's
Speaker 16: the percentage of all of them coming back? And I'll
Speaker 16: hang up after this comment. I hope he was and
Speaker 16: wins at all, but it won't hurt my feelings if
Speaker 16: Auburn or Forward to win. I just don't want not
Speaker 16: to win.
Speaker 2: Appreciate. I think a lot of SEC fans, fecial Kentucky
Speaker 2: fans feel the same way. Well right now, oh, Taga,
Speaker 2: Garrison and the three freshman Chandler Perry. No, for all,
Speaker 2: we believe they're all the five coming back?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think you got nine guys already
Speaker 5: if they were to go out and get Yackxcell and
Speaker 5: like three other big men. Maybe Garrison's like, WHOA, what's
Speaker 5: going on here? But I still expect him be saving
Speaker 5: the way in the freshman. Then you got a Cam
Speaker 5: Williams already on boards. That makes none one more quick
Speaker 5: quick collar Shandon.
Speaker 7: Who we got Let's go to Brian.

Speaker 5: go over the eight championships with some fun facts. Well,
Speaker 5: of course, we'll preview that game, recap the final four.
Speaker 5: Then I'll just ask him a few things like how
Speaker 5: the hell do you find all these pictures of people?
Speaker 5: And just you know, everybody knows Corey from digging up
Speaker 5: dirt and going back in history with all these a
Speaker 5: those newspaper clippings. I'm gonna make him explain that. But
Speaker 5: mostly Monday will be a celebration of our eight championships
Speaker 5: and a preview of the one Monday Night. Might try
Speaker 5: to get some former champs on the phone. Cool, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna try that this weekend, but Billy and Corey will
Speaker 5: be with me on Monday, plus maybe a few special
Speaker 5: guests by phone.
Speaker 2: I like Corey Price's tweet today had Matthew Mitchell like
Speaker 2: as a mill school basketball player, and Malchi Marino looked
Speaker 2: like he was like five five years old. I don't
Speaker 2: know how he digs these things up, but he's good
Speaker 2: at it well.
Speaker 5: When I asked for who should be on, I kind
Speaker 5: of wanted to keep it in the KSR sphere. I
Speaker 5: don't want to get too lazy and just call people.
Speaker 5: I wanted to keep it us. I don't get to
Speaker 5: talk much on here, so I got a lot of
Speaker 5: things playing, but a lot of people wanted to hear
Speaker 5: from Corey, so I took him right away. Being Championship Day,
Speaker 5: I feel like he'll have a lot of fun facts
Speaker 5: and stats. Also, it's Master's week. I'm gonna try to
Speaker 5: get my good buddy Fleener on the phone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but from ten to.
Speaker 5: Twelve he's already he's already Augusta with the bag going
Speaker 5: around the course, so I think it's unlikely. He says
Speaker 5: he's gonna give it his best effort, but they don't
Speaker 5: even let you have phones there. He'd have to sneak
Speaker 5: into the locker room. So I'm gonna effort that on Monday,
Speaker 5: but I don't have high hopes just because of the
Speaker 5: timing issue. He'll probably be on Amen corner or something
Speaker 5: around the time I need to talk to him.
Speaker 2: Shannon, and I can call you from the beach in Oarspeedo.
Speaker 7: That's right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you all offered. That was very nice, but I
Speaker 5: want you all to have your vacation. You know you'll
Speaker 5: be off. You'll be three Margerita's deep by ten am,
Speaker 5: and I don't want to bug you, but I appreciate
Speaker 5: you offering.
Speaker 2: So again, the UK women hym now thinks when they
Speaker 2: play at five o'clock did you say it's.
Speaker 5: Five o'clock tomorrow?
Speaker 2: Tomorrow we'll have it here on the big screen. UK
Speaker 2: Baseball gonna try their doubleheader at three o'clock today against
Speaker 2: Do Miss. First game to three. By the way, we

Speaker 2: those tickets. If you want ticket to the game, ton I,
