Speaker 1: One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home right
Speaker 1: now is that you have to wait for the perfect moment,
Speaker 1: perfect rates, perfect timing, perfect market. The truth is that
Speaker 1: moment doesn't really exist. A lot of buyers pause because
Speaker 1: of headlines or assumptions, but every situation is different. Race change,
Speaker 1: market shift, and personal goals matter just as much as
Speaker 1: what's happening nationally. That's why talking to a local lender
Speaker 1: can be so valuable. When you contact Doctor Mortgage, you
Speaker 1: get paired up with a local lender. That lender will
Speaker 1: give you your options. That lender will explain the situation.
Speaker 1: You can ask your own questions. That's what it's all about,

Speaker 1: welcome Jeff pi Caro here for the second hour for
Speaker 1: Hello Jeff Corro from h Now you're not just WTVQ
Speaker 1: through w LAX UK Sports Radio Network. Add another hat
Speaker 1: to your display there. But you had a little breaking
Speaker 1: news for us this morning. You actually went to the
Speaker 1: Mark Pope news conference. I don't even talk about Cam Williams.
Speaker 3: Yeah, first off, I want to say, it's great to
Speaker 3: have you back, and I know everybody out here feels
Speaker 3: the same way.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was kind of surprised to all of us
Speaker 3: in the media because we're not privy to go to
Speaker 3: practice and stuff. But Cam Williams had surgery on his
Speaker 3: on his foot, so but he says he expects it
Speaker 3: to be back. He said he had some some problems
Speaker 3: with it and some soreness, so they went ahead and
Speaker 3: got it whatever mriight or whatever, and they decided to
Speaker 3: do another surgery. But he feels that he'll be ready
Speaker 3: come October. So we hope because really that is the
Speaker 3: one position in my opinion, that that wing that you
Speaker 3: really have to have that depth that he gives them
Speaker 3: their guard the shooter.
Speaker 1: Shooter out there. Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 4: He also mentioned maybe looking for another player. Should we
Speaker 4: be good? Yeah about that a little bit. Well July
Speaker 4: twenty fourth.
Speaker 3: Well, I think the biggest thing was this true he's
Speaker 3: and and he kind of said this in passing, but
Speaker 3: I think they're way to see what happens with the
Speaker 3: five on five thing the fifth year because there's some
Speaker 3: lawsuits that some players and some attorneys have already got it,
Speaker 3: you know, with the SEC or NCA, and if that passes,
Speaker 3: then that's going to have a huge influx of these
Speaker 3: fifth year players that are just sitting out there going, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm for sale, you know. So I think that's what
Speaker 3: they're holding out on, and if that happens, you might
Speaker 3: find a real gem.
Speaker 1: We wanted to bring you on because of obviously talking
Speaker 1: football SEC football media. The week was just this past week,
Speaker 1: you were down there. What was your big takeaway? And
Speaker 1: then you know the h all because of me comment
Speaker 1: will Stein May What was your takeaway talking to the
Speaker 1: guys and talking to him.
Speaker 3: I think all four of them was the thing that
Speaker 3: permeated through all of them was confidence. This team is confident.
Speaker 3: I think that they've bought in.
Speaker 1: To his system.
Speaker 3: And you know, I was part of a change. We
Speaker 3: went from coach Kersey to coach Clayburn and it was
Speaker 3: a huge change. It was just a total opposite in
Speaker 3: the personality and their styles of play and everything. And
Speaker 3: it took a while for people to buy into that,
Speaker 3: and a lot of guys left and we made some
Speaker 3: great players that left. But here he's been able to
Speaker 3: keep those core players, guys like Ty Bryant obviously and
Speaker 3: Willy that you know, had a lot of people other
Speaker 3: schools came after him, coming after him. But the confidence,
Speaker 3: I mean, they are a confident bunch. And you look
Speaker 3: at what he's brought in. He had a top ten
Speaker 3: portal class, in the top ten or top twenty recruiting class,
Speaker 3: and I just think that I think they're gonna surprise
Speaker 3: some people. I really think the Litma test obviously is
Speaker 3: going to be Game two with with Alabama and if
Speaker 3: they can play with them and just not get annihilated,
Speaker 3: and if they could possibly win the game. And then
Speaker 3: I think that you're looking at wild that you know,
Speaker 3: he's not shying away from anything, and that's what you
Speaker 3: like it. As a player, you gotta love your coach.
Speaker 3: You know, why are we going to because of me?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: To me, dang, you're gonna jump on that bandwagon and
Speaker 2: go ahead and pick Kentucky to beat Alabama in Week two.
Speaker 3: You know, when I look at that Alabama team, there's
Speaker 3: still a toss up at quarterback who's going to be
Speaker 3: their quarterback. Their offensive line went over a big overhaul.
Speaker 3: Our defensive line is a straight both our lines is
Speaker 3: going to be a strength. I think you guys are
Speaker 3: you can You're not gonna believe this. I we saw
Speaker 3: it at spring practice. But the size of these guys
Speaker 3: up front is just amazing. And I know I say
Speaker 3: this every year, bigger, stronger, faster, but I mean I
Speaker 3: couldn't even the managers could kick my butt, you know,
Speaker 3: Like I mean, it's it's amazing the size of these guys.
Speaker 3: And they've got depth and that's the biggest especial on
Speaker 3: that defensive line. I think that's gonna be a huge
Speaker 3: strength through them. The secondary is gonna be awesome, and
Speaker 3: the defensive front is gonna be awesome. And there's some
Speaker 3: question marks at linebacker and I think that's the only
Speaker 3: spot that we're waiting to see in fall practice. How
Speaker 3: that kind of shakes out.
Speaker 4: Speaking of kicking butt, that wasn't your phone that went off?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta love John too. I mean, that's just
Speaker 3: the way he coaches and the way he is. He
Speaker 3: meant it tongue in cheek, and I think that the
Speaker 3: coach creen kind of took it a little too far.
Speaker 3: He didn't say the guy's name. I mean, he was
Speaker 3: just it was funny to everyone that was there, but
Speaker 3: that you guys have been there before. That thing is
Speaker 3: is it got a world of its own that the
Speaker 3: you know the media days. Yeah, there was sixty or
Speaker 3: seventy stations, you know for radio for people to stop
Speaker 3: at and talk to you. Then you had the ESPNS
Speaker 3: and everybody else in the world and TV there. It's
Speaker 3: just wild.
Speaker 4: How was it being in Tampa for the first time.
Speaker 4: I went to Nashville. Didn't get a lot of sleep
Speaker 4: when it was in Nashville. Heard some fun stories. Nick
Speaker 4: Roush apparently got on the pirate ship at the Buck
Speaker 4: Stadium and the mascot kicked him off because you weren't
Speaker 4: supposed to be up there. Don't know if the mascot
Speaker 4: just lives up there defending its ship, but uh, where
Speaker 4: the was the extra curricular stuff fun they have.
Speaker 3: Any events in mascott is a pirate.
Speaker 4: It is, I guess, but I don't think Rawsh expected
Speaker 4: to be kicked out by the actual mascot.
Speaker 3: It was actually kind of cool. They had stuff every
Speaker 3: night for for us, you know, meeting the media people.
Speaker 3: It was it was all free and stuff. So that
Speaker 3: that's and if you're in the media, you'll you'll find
Speaker 3: out if it's free, Like over there, it's for me.
Speaker 3: Everybody it shows out to the media, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: where's the free stuff at? But yeah, they had all
Speaker 3: that I thought. I thought it was good and bad.
Speaker 3: The good part is huge place, enormous hotels and stuff
Speaker 3: like that. But getting there's kind of a house and
Speaker 3: you know, you kind of gotta fly or if you're driving,
Speaker 3: it's a it's a haul down to Tampa.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: I kind of liked it centrally and either burming Ham's
Speaker 3: easy to get to and in Atlanta, and and obviously Nashville.
Speaker 3: I'm just not a huge fan of Nashville.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wrong.
Speaker 3: His band for like an hour from we're talking four hours, Yeah,
Speaker 3: what is wrong?
Speaker 2: I was tired of hearing us after four hours. Nashville
Speaker 2: has become like Vegas. Yeah, so expensive.
Speaker 3: The price is when you go and get a beer
Speaker 3: and it's eighteen dollars for one beer and.
Speaker 2: You're like, you know, how much to part my car?
Speaker 2: Eighty dollars to part my car. It's crazy.
Speaker 4: I booked my SEC tournament hotel just this week because
Speaker 4: you know, it's cheaper now instead of waiting for the Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm already in there Wednesday to Saturday.
Speaker 1: We were there Saturday.
Speaker 4: I didn't commit all the way to Sunday yet.
Speaker 1: Now, Kenny Minchie, our quarterback, we don't really know a
Speaker 1: whole lot about him, other than he transferred from Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: had to Florida with Nebraska. You were down and you
Speaker 1: got to talk to him, kind of get us a
Speaker 1: little inside knowledge inside baseball on Kenny Minchi, our quarterback.
Speaker 3: Well, the other thing, I probably went to twelve practices
Speaker 3: in spring too, so Tom and I are able to
Speaker 3: go to practice and watch and stuff.
Speaker 1: Humble brag, lucky, humble brag.
Speaker 3: But the thing that I liked about him is he's
Speaker 3: he's really good in the pocket. When you're a quarterback,
Speaker 3: you have a flight or fear thing in you and
Speaker 3: you count in your head one, two, three, and at
Speaker 3: three you're like, I got to get the hell out
Speaker 3: of here. I'm not going to get killed. And like,
Speaker 3: for instance, Will Levis, who was very successful, his was
Speaker 3: to take off and try to get to the outside.
Speaker 3: Peyton Manning can't do that. So what'son. Peyton does what
Speaker 3: we call climbing the pocket. So when they are coming
Speaker 3: at you, they're usually coming like this, you know, and
Speaker 3: and the blockers are trying to block him to the
Speaker 3: outside anyway, So climbing the pocket means just stepping up
Speaker 3: and then the defenders kind of go by you. So
Speaker 3: you're buying yourself some time and you're buying the receiver's
Speaker 3: time by moving around in the pocket. Peyton does that
Speaker 3: so well. Minshi is really good at debt. Now he
Speaker 3: can run, he says, Now I'm not gonna be will
Speaker 3: and try to lower my show to run people over.
Speaker 3: But I can get out of there too.
Speaker 1: Touch down in the spring game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just like this confidence in the pocket. He
Speaker 3: trusts the guys in front of him. He knows how
Speaker 3: to just slide and move it within the pocket. And look,
Speaker 3: I know every year we talk about the tight ends
Speaker 3: and oh this is going to be the year for
Speaker 3: the tight ends. But this group of tight ends and
Speaker 3: skinner is I mean Willie Rodriguez is I mean, he's
Speaker 3: Michael Mayer who played it come cantack for him and
Speaker 3: is now with the Raiders. He's that and more. He's
Speaker 3: he's such a tough kid and and got great hands
Speaker 3: that can run for a two hundred and fifty five
Speaker 3: two hundred and sixty pound guy. He can really run.
Speaker 3: But I think the tight ends are going to be
Speaker 3: really explosive on this team this year. They've got a
Speaker 3: whole group of them. And the thing that I like
Speaker 3: about Willie and Michel is they're three down players, meaning
Speaker 3: they can get open. They're going to be a load
Speaker 3: for linebackers. But then they're also big and strong enough
Speaker 3: that they can block defensive end and tackles and not
Speaker 3: have to be taken out and stuff.
Speaker 2: So going back to Wills down at SEC media Day,
Speaker 2: we've already covered it because of me answer, But was
Speaker 2: there anything else that he said that kind of stood
Speaker 2: out to you at SCC media Day.
Speaker 3: He's that, Yeah, I think the biggest thing was Heat said,
Speaker 3: I you know, I didn't take this job for three
Speaker 3: or five years down the road. I'm here to win now.
Speaker 3: And it's it's and I know that's what we all
Speaker 3: want to hear. Sure, it's not a where we need
Speaker 3: to build a program because it's so much different now.
Speaker 3: And I hate always using Indiana as the example, but
Speaker 3: you look at Indiana, they were dormat in the Big
Speaker 3: ten for the last ten years and then three years
Speaker 3: ago fifty years. Yeah, Betty gets there, and because of
Speaker 3: the portal and because of what you can do with that,
Speaker 3: you can change the whole you know, the whole team,
Speaker 3: the collection of a team in one class, and I
Speaker 3: think that's what Will has done. The thing you brought
Speaker 3: in Tennessee starting left tackle for the last two years. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you pulled him away from Tennessee. The guy was there,
Speaker 3: he's an an NFL guy, heart's gonna play. He's six
Speaker 3: foot eight and three hundred and thirty five pounds. And
Speaker 3: you go to the right guard. Tegla was Ohio State
Speaker 3: starting center for two years, won a national championship, and
Speaker 3: yet you were able to pull him away. And then
Speaker 3: your center is the first team all big twelve center
Speaker 3: from Baylor that you're able to steal away. And then
Speaker 3: you got all off from Alabama, so they've they've added
Speaker 3: some real quality depth. They had two guys from Tennessee
Speaker 3: h a guy from Alabama. So there you are coming
Speaker 3: from big programs, so this isn't going to be too
Speaker 3: big for them when they step on this stage. I
Speaker 3: just to me, it's just amazing what he's been able
Speaker 3: to do in one off season. A top twenty recruiting class,
Speaker 3: A top ten point wortal class. And I just I
Speaker 3: think they're gonna surprise me because the guys have bought
Speaker 3: into what he's selling.
Speaker 4: Offensively, they seem pretty set, except maybe a running back
Speaker 4: where you have a couple of guys coming off injury,
Speaker 4: even though they're big names. They just very recently, even
Speaker 4: this week, had to go to Juco to add some depth.
Speaker 4: How do we think the running back room will shake out?
Speaker 4: Because if there's any concerns, it seems to be at
Speaker 4: that position.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and because they'd like to run. I know everybody
Speaker 3: sees them. You know, his team score forty plus points
Speaker 3: a game for the last five years, three at Oregon
Speaker 3: and at Utsa as well. And so you think you're
Speaker 3: throwing the ball all over the place like Mummy did.
Speaker 3: But he's always had a thousand yard rusher. And in
Speaker 3: the sec you've got to run the football. I don't
Speaker 3: care you know how good your defense is. I don't
Speaker 3: care how good your wide receivers are. A quarterback, if
Speaker 3: you can't run, you're not gonna win, period. Into story,
Speaker 3: you look at the best teams Kentucky had, even when
Speaker 3: Couch and Lorenzo, they had great running backs. I think
Speaker 3: it's a running back by committee right now, because we
Speaker 3: just don't know the two guys in Oklahoma and Texas.
Speaker 3: I mean, CJ. Baxter was the number one recruit in
Speaker 3: the nation.
Speaker 1: He could get back to that level.
Speaker 3: Even eighty five percent of that true is as good
Speaker 3: as anything you've had, probably some Sunny Collins, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, so, I mean, I'm happy with Patterson made
Speaker 3: huge steps last year, so he's kind of the fail safe.
Speaker 3: He's probably their number three guy going in. But I
Speaker 3: think the package is the great thing with his running
Speaker 3: back room is the packages don't have to change with
Speaker 3: the different players. They're gonna run the same offense with
Speaker 3: each of those, at least the top three guys.
Speaker 2: Was a cole Ke saying that this team is the
Speaker 2: most talented offense that he's seen at Kentucky. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: saw that go somewhere. Would would you agree with that
Speaker 2: from what you've seen?
Speaker 3: I would agree across the board because this Nick, You're
Speaker 3: gonna like this Nick Anderson, the wide receiver. He's about
Speaker 3: six or four and about two hundred and probably twenty pounds.
Speaker 3: He just looks like a Georgia receiver, you know, like
Speaker 3: the Fred Barnes of the past. There are Florida receiver
Speaker 3: the big, tall guys that can get downfield and be physical.
Speaker 3: Kentucky finally has one of those in him, and so
Speaker 3: I just I think he's gonna be that a deep threat.
Speaker 3: They've they've got what twelve receivers, I think that they've
Speaker 3: got now, so they've got death there. Uh and that
Speaker 3: that to me was always the biggest concern with Mark
Speaker 3: was what happens if somebody gets hurt. You know, when
Speaker 3: I played, if Joker got hurt, I'm in that's a
Speaker 3: big drop.
Speaker 1: And it don't it don't slam yourself like that.
Speaker 3: It's not that way anymore, you know. Now it's the
Speaker 3: backups are a PRETI good.
Speaker 4: Anderson's like Baxter, who's a high recruit. Injuries slowed him
Speaker 4: down a little bit. If you can get him back
Speaker 4: close to for him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he can play two big schools.
Speaker 4: And then DJ Miller, who's been on the team. I
Speaker 4: don't feel like we used him enough last year. He
Speaker 4: turned it on hit another gear towards the end of
Speaker 4: the season. But I think that's another name that will
Speaker 4: really shine in there too.
Speaker 1: He is Jeff P.
Speaker 3: Carl.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take your call yet the football question for us,
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight five nine two eight h
Speaker 1: two two eight seven. We'll take your phone calls on
Speaker 1: the car's pubbershop phone.

Speaker 1: I think Drew brought up the Rick Patino cookbook I did, yeah,
Speaker 1: liank It from nineteen ninety seven. Was after the won
Speaker 1: the National Championship where they ask all members of the
Speaker 1: media to donate a recipe. Well, Jeff, they chestise me
Speaker 1: for my caramel nutbar recipe. Didn't think it would maybe
Speaker 1: very good, didn't think maybe it was worth it. You
Speaker 1: guys just tried it during the commercial break. What's the verdict.
Speaker 2: I think it's great. I think yoga girl did a
Speaker 2: great job on your non recipe. But you had nothing
Speaker 2: to do with this though. You're not gonna get to
Speaker 2: take credit for that. I told you to take credit
Speaker 2: that you ever made it. You did nothing except for
Speaker 2: bring it here like you did.
Speaker 1: I unwrapped the caramels, I melted the caramels, I put
Speaker 1: it in the oven. I took it out of the oven.
Speaker 2: So what do you guys think.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean he's already admitted what his recipe in
Speaker 4: ninety seven. So the ex wife's mom that should have
Speaker 4: what the title should have been on the books.
Speaker 1: My ex mother in law.
Speaker 4: Her recipe as good as it is, I don't think
Speaker 4: you can take credit.
Speaker 1: For what's the verdict on the crowd. You guys like it?
Speaker 1: What did they get the time? Oh yeah, I brought
Speaker 1: the whole pain of them over there.
Speaker 4: We have all this black bar and barbecue, which is delicious.
Speaker 4: But I can't just go over there and say I
Speaker 4: made it because I lifted the pan in the air.
Speaker 4: You know, whoever created the recipe and made the mill
Speaker 4: I think gets the credit.
Speaker 2: I do have one question. Yes, all right, I know
Speaker 2: we're all friends here, but I took a bite of
Speaker 2: one and then set it down right there, and I
Speaker 2: looked over and now it's gone.
Speaker 1: You ate the one that I was eating. I thought
Speaker 1: that was my part.
Speaker 2: No, that was the one that I had my hands in.
Speaker 2: I was like, bit off of and set it right there.
Speaker 3: You ate it? No?
Speaker 2: I mean, if I was gonna guess which one of
Speaker 2: you three, I was gonna say Ryan is the heavy favorite. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we want DraftKings.
Speaker 1: Does not bother me. You could stick in your mouth.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even care. This type of guy who eats
Speaker 1: something off a floor eight five nine two two two
Speaker 1: eight seven. I gave you, guys, a little homework. Last night,
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask you. Also, this was on the a
Speaker 1: Vision Glass text machine. A great question. You want your
Speaker 1: Mount UK basketball mount rushmore of players from Kentucky. So
Speaker 1: you're four top players from Kentucky that played at UK.
Speaker 3: See. Now that's really hard because when you go back
Speaker 3: to the forties and fifties, almost all of those guys
Speaker 3: huh you know, the Cotton Ashes and wild Wad Jones
Speaker 3: and all of them were all Kentucky. How do you
Speaker 3: leave them off? I mean, Frank ram See, some of
Speaker 3: those guys won three national champions because the freshman couldn't
Speaker 3: play back then. So I mean, that's that's pretty strong.
Speaker 1: You may want to go I don't think.
Speaker 3: I don't think Hagen was from here.
Speaker 2: Now when you say from Kentucky, they had to also
Speaker 2: play at Kentucky, Yes, so they couldn't like you could say,
Speaker 2: Alan Houston, correct, Okay.
Speaker 1: Correct, I'll go from Kentucky played at UK.
Speaker 2: Not surprisingly, I didn't really do my homework. I forgot
Speaker 2: about it. Well, here you got you got to carry
Speaker 2: you go last, then I'll still yours.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Drew Jack Gibbons, easy pick, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Putting on my mount Rushmore, also with Cliff Hag. Well,
Speaker 4: I'm going Cliff Hagen next from Owensboro, also from Owensboro, Rex.
Speaker 4: So I got Goose Rex Cliff Hagen. And this one's
Speaker 4: not top four, but I'm putting him in because my
Speaker 4: Mount Rushmore. I'm going to Madisonville, Kentucky getting little Travis
Speaker 4: four two tome SEC Tournament MVP. He's a top five
Speaker 4: and free throw percentage three point percentage, had a great
Speaker 4: for years here even though he started another school. So
Speaker 4: I'm sneaking Travis Ford in his my.
Speaker 1: Goose Rex Cliff Hagen. Travis Ford, Yes, that's good, all right? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well, I think that in any sport at UK, you
Speaker 3: have to have wahwah Jones. I mean he was some
Speaker 3: people say he was the Red Grange of the University Kentucky.
Speaker 3: I mean he had like when he have sixteen or
Speaker 3: eighteen varsity letters here. He had an Olympic gold medal. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean he had three national championstool. I think Guawai
Speaker 3: Jones has to be on there. Then, of course, Cliff,
Speaker 3: I don't think. I'm not sure about Frank Ramsey was
Speaker 3: Frank Kentucky? Good lord? It was down Travis it's gonna
Speaker 3: be a big mountain because we're gonna have Frank was
Speaker 3: an unbelievable player here. Odie was an unbe you know,
Speaker 3: Adrian Smith vern Hatton, Rex vern Hatton was awesome player here.
Speaker 3: I don't know how do you pick four of those?
Speaker 3: And I haven't even said Jack Gibbons, James Lee who
Speaker 3: they played against each other, Brian Station and Henry Bribe
Speaker 3: although you know one year he didn't really he didn't
Speaker 3: win anything here.
Speaker 1: So who's your four?
Speaker 3: I think, wah wah Jones. You gotta go with Cliff Hagen.
Speaker 4: There's one that's probably listening right now. We haven't said
Speaker 4: Richie Farmer exactly.
Speaker 3: Get rich again they win the championship. Richie probably he's
Speaker 3: on that, you know, but he's got his thing and
Speaker 3: the you know the guy I think I gotta have
Speaker 3: Gibbons and wow, who's the fourth? I don't want you
Speaker 3: know you've already said who? Okay, let me ask you
Speaker 3: guys this. Who is a better player at UK and
Speaker 3: what they comt Bush, Dirk or Rex?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's tough, that's tough.
Speaker 2: But Ryan's the Yeah, you're the needs to answer that.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll answer when I say my Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think miss Basketball?
Speaker 4: I mean you can also I'd go Rex in that
Speaker 4: head to head. I mean, Darius Miller has a ring
Speaker 4: on his finger.
Speaker 1: Anthony IPPs, Anthony IPPs.
Speaker 4: It's a long list. This could be our toss.
Speaker 1: So you go with Walwat Jones, Cliff Hagen, Rex, and
Speaker 1: Jack Jamons.
Speaker 2: All right, I like Rex and Goose. I think for me,
Speaker 2: those two gotta be on there. You know, I like
Speaker 2: Darius Miller. I mean he was a big part of
Speaker 2: that championship team. I'm gonna put him on there. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: I got to put Ritchie on there. Yeah no, And
Speaker 2: then you know what, I'll take Darius off. I'm putting
Speaker 2: Richie on because I like Ritchie and it's my Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 2: I can do what I want, right, And then what
Speaker 2: about rage Ron Rondo? True? Put Ron on there?
Speaker 1: So you got Rondo, Richie, Goose and Rex. Yes, mine's
Speaker 1: very similar to what you guys say. I think you
Speaker 1: have to have Wah Wah Jones. You mentioned Wawah. He
Speaker 1: played basketball, football, baseball, played in the NBA, played in
Speaker 1: the NFL. The dude All American in every sport. He
Speaker 1: is one he may be the single greatest athlete ever
Speaker 1: to play at Kentucky's wahwah, Jones, I think you gotta
Speaker 1: have Goose. I agree with Goose. You got to have
Speaker 1: him on there. You know Lexton Bryan Station won a
Speaker 1: title and then seven seventy eight.
Speaker 4: Just casual forty one points.
Speaker 1: I think there's been two rock stars since I've been
Speaker 1: covering Kentucky, and I mean rock stars, John Wall and
Speaker 1: Rex Chapman. Rex was a rock star, so I think
Speaker 1: I got to put Rex on there. So we already
Speaker 1: know three. But my fourth one, I'm not even gonna
Speaker 1: put a player, Bill Kyley. Bill Kyley from Kentucky, Kentucky
Speaker 1: gave me the post. I almost thought about kay Wood,
Speaker 1: but I think I'm gonna put Bill Kylee on there
Speaker 1: instead of Kaywood said players.
Speaker 4: In that case, I'm going Toby Hall at least.
Speaker 1: The players what did Uh? It's my route.
Speaker 2: I want to I'm smoking cigarettes under the table calling

Speaker 1: new coaches and everything going for Kentucky this season.
Speaker 5: I am, I am, I mean like you said it
Speaker 5: was it's a new staff, but obviously we're ready to
Speaker 5: go great brinking. You know, I believe in these guys
Speaker 5: and they believe in me.
Speaker 3: Ty.
Speaker 4: Everybody's talking about how you're a leader of this team,
Speaker 4: and that included going down to Tampa for SEC media days.
Speaker 4: What does that mean to represent the program? Being one
Speaker 4: of three guys that gets to go down there and
Speaker 4: be on the big stage and speak on behalf of
Speaker 4: your teammates and the coaching staff.
Speaker 5: It was amazing. It just showed that the coaching staff
Speaker 5: and the people with my peers respect me and just
Speaker 5: view me as a guy that can go down there
Speaker 5: and represent them, well, not only them, but my family
Speaker 5: and also BBN.
Speaker 4: Did I see the head? Was that your real Douglas
Speaker 4: jersey and helmet there too? That looked like a nice
Speaker 4: twist they had waited for you.
Speaker 5: No, I wish it was real. I wish I got
Speaker 5: to take you home. I could have put it, you know,
Speaker 5: somewhere in my parents' house, and you know, I held
Speaker 5: onto it forever. But now it was like it was
Speaker 5: like a little braship that they had, not even just
Speaker 5: like something on a projector, but it was. It was amazing.
Speaker 5: It was really cool just to see that. And I
Speaker 5: was shocked when I walk into the room and I've
Speaker 5: seen that.
Speaker 4: You got me off heel for it. I thought of
Speaker 4: his room.
Speaker 3: Hey, ty, Jeff picorro here down in Tampa. You know,
Speaker 3: we got to talk a little bit. But they asked
Speaker 3: me about what was the one thing about you guys
Speaker 3: that I took away, and I said, it was the
Speaker 3: confidence that you guys had in yourselves and in the coach.
Speaker 3: And you know, obviously everybody's brought up this you know
Speaker 3: we're gonna win because of me thing. But I gotta
Speaker 3: believe as a player, you gotta love your coach coming
Speaker 3: out and making statements like that, don't you.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Someone after he had made the comment of Porter
Speaker 5: asking about it, and I had no idea that he
Speaker 5: had made that comment, But I mean, that's that's a
Speaker 5: guy that you want to get behind, a guy with
Speaker 5: confidence and a guy would fight behind Mike. You know,
Speaker 5: he really means what he says. And I mean, we're
Speaker 5: ten toes down behind him in this building. So you know,
Speaker 5: I love the fact that he made a comment. But
Speaker 5: you know, we just got to put the season week
Speaker 5: after week, you.
Speaker 1: Know, Kentucky has become kind of like defensive back. You
Speaker 1: A lot of guys play there and ended up in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Who are the guys this year we expect
Speaker 1: going to hear, But beside yourself back in the backfield.
Speaker 5: I think in the back end, you're gonna hear. Obviously
Speaker 5: not a familiar name here, but he has made his
Speaker 5: name known around the country. Jordan Castill. He's a guy
Speaker 5: that can go. He's played addition for US Florida coming
Speaker 5: over from Florida. Obviously we played him all through my
Speaker 5: years being in college. But I mean he's a guy
Speaker 5: who he's a dog. He can absolutely go. Another guy
Speaker 5: in the back end that we're gonna hear a lot
Speaker 5: about is Ryan Nichols. That's a guy who has stepped
Speaker 5: it up tremendously as a leader and as a player
Speaker 5: this year, and I can't wait to see what he does.
Speaker 5: Another dude, we're gonna hear a lot about his Hassan Sykes.
Speaker 5: He a guy that he can't He transferred over from
Speaker 5: a Western film, a smaller school, but I mean he's
Speaker 5: been working his butt off since he got here, and
Speaker 5: he has a lot. He feels like he has a
Speaker 5: lot to prove he has a chip on his shoulder
Speaker 5: and he goes to work every single day. Your first
Speaker 5: other guy we're also probable to hear about is Cyrus
Speaker 5: Cyrus Rays he's in the faith room with me. But
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a guy who he puts it all
Speaker 5: out on the field every single time he steps on
Speaker 5: him onto the field, and he's gonna be a great
Speaker 5: addition for us when it comes to defense and special teams,
Speaker 5: and he can make a big impact for us.
Speaker 4: Your your first year's here, defense like to keep everything
Speaker 4: in front of him, played that Ben don't break. But
Speaker 4: will Stein and Jay Bateman say they want to be
Speaker 4: a lot more aggressive defensively. I know they've been very
Speaker 4: quiet of what that looks like so far. Not sure
Speaker 4: your cards, but do you feel like there's been a
Speaker 4: big style change in how you all play?
Speaker 5: That's like you mentioned before, it is a different style
Speaker 5: of what I have been playing in the past three years.
Speaker 5: But I mean I like their style of the defense.
Speaker 5: It allows us just to get up to the quarterback
Speaker 5: a little bit more and get stickier in the back
Speaker 5: end more as well.
Speaker 1: You know, the defense is something that doesn't get a
Speaker 1: lot of attention during the off scene and everybody kind
Speaker 1: of focuses on the offense and the new quarterback. You
Speaker 1: guys see these guys every day. What kind of offense?
Speaker 1: So we can we expect from the team this year?
Speaker 5: An explos I mean coach coach Stein and coach Loan,
Speaker 5: they're both masterminds of what they do, so they dial
Speaker 5: up a lot of good stuff and it makes it
Speaker 5: makes defense stay on their toes because you never know
Speaker 5: what look you're going to get, and if you get
Speaker 5: a certain look, they might go into another look, like
Speaker 5: in the blink of an eye.
Speaker 4: So I mean, in an.
Speaker 5: Explosive offense, no matter if that's through the air or
Speaker 5: on the ground. And yeah, I mean we just I
Speaker 5: feel like we got two of the best guys in
Speaker 5: the business.
Speaker 3: Honestly, ty I made this comment and I'll stand by it.
Speaker 3: I said that I believe that Kentucky is the best
Speaker 3: safety duo in the entire SEC, if not the country.
Speaker 3: You and Castile have played. I think ninety some odds
Speaker 3: starts already in SEC play. He's coming over from Florida.
Speaker 3: Very aggressive defense, and I don't think people realize when
Speaker 3: you've got two safeties who really know what they're doing
Speaker 3: back there. You can take chances in front of you, guys,
Speaker 3: knowing that you're behind them.
Speaker 5: Correct, say it again, I apologize.
Speaker 3: I said I think that you they'll be able to
Speaker 3: take chances in front of you because you and Castiel
Speaker 3: are so good behind them.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yes, sir, most definitely. I mean that's been
Speaker 5: a big emphasis is like we want the corners and
Speaker 5: everybody who's playing, like in a man assignment, to just
Speaker 5: be aggressive. And I mean we're going to make you,
Speaker 5: guys right if you mess up, we're gonna be right there,
Speaker 5: get the ball to the ground, and we're going to
Speaker 5: live to see another down. So yeah, that's been a
Speaker 5: big emphasis is just you know, play aggressive, take your risk.
Speaker 5: If you feel like you can go make a play,
Speaker 5: don't make that play, and if not, then we're gonna
Speaker 5: be right there behind you to get the guy down
Speaker 5: or to make the play as well.
Speaker 4: A lot of the talk since the new coaching staff
Speaker 4: has gotten here is how the energy is a little
Speaker 4: different in the building. They're a little younger, might be
Speaker 4: a little more louder.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: Do you feel that throughout the the meeting rooms and
Speaker 4: everywhere in the building. Each days, these guys coming in
Speaker 4: with a new passion and fire. His first time head
Speaker 4: coach and a new staff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel that practice coach Shu He's he's an
Speaker 5: assistant receiver coach, but man, he be chirping of us
Speaker 5: DVS man. But like, I think that's what you need.
Speaker 5: Just the passion and the energy that they bring every
Speaker 5: single day. It just makes you love doing what you
Speaker 5: do and like you just want to continue to get
Speaker 5: better and elevate each and every single day because if
Speaker 5: you mess up, it's going to be highlighted. If you
Speaker 5: do something good, it's going to be highlighted. So I
Speaker 5: mean just in the meeting room we have my position
Speaker 5: coaches coach see why And yeah he also does bring
Speaker 5: like that, like that passion and that young energy into
Speaker 5: the meeting rooms. So yeah, I definitely, I definitely understand
Speaker 5: where people are coming from when they say that these
Speaker 5: guys have that young energy in the building.
Speaker 1: Well, ty we appreciate it. Give a big round of
Speaker 1: applause for TYD Bryant before you go talk.
Speaker 4: Can we get to collapse in a Rick flair?
Speaker 1: That's fine, go ty Brian. Good luck to you. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you, brother, thanks for joining us Brian the leader
Speaker 1: in the face of the defense, superstar in the making.
Speaker 3: If I could just add one thing to what he
Speaker 3: was saying, and I know it was breaking up a
Speaker 3: little bit here, but they're going to be able to
Speaker 3: play man underneath and it it's usually call it like
Speaker 3: cover seven, where you have five guys underneath and then
Speaker 3: you've got the two safety so if you make it,
Speaker 3: if somebody makes a mistake or a guy gets away,
Speaker 3: they're so good those two guys behind him that they'll
Speaker 3: be able to cover for him. And so that's why
Speaker 3: they can be so much more aggressive on the defense
Speaker 3: because they've got those guys that have close to one
Speaker 3: hundred starts playing them behind them.
Speaker 1: During that interview, there was some breaking news. Liam, you
Speaker 1: had the breaking news button again. Shannon's got some breaking news.
Speaker 5: Yeah, from the ESPN.
Speaker 2: Lebron James is signing with the Philadelphia seventy six ers,
Speaker 2: a two year deal eight million dollars with a player option.
Speaker 2: Him and Max seventy six going to Philly.
Speaker 1: Everybody said was Cleveland or Miami Cleveland or Miami seventy
Speaker 1: six ers.
Speaker 4: So this is the conspiracy theorists in my head, you know,
Speaker 4: they leaked the YouTube thing yep, and then leaking the
Speaker 4: bakery and are they messing with these polymarket odds and
Speaker 4: getting bets. So I think there's there's some funny business
Speaker 4: going on here because Philly was barely mentioned where a
Speaker 4: lot of these rumors have come out. This happened with
Speaker 4: Giannis a little bit too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think there's definitely something to that.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of basketball, I got one on before we
Speaker 1: run out of time. The Kentucky High School Basketball Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame announce their latest induction class, Alan Feldhouse Senior,
Speaker 1: Alan Feldhouse Junior, Anthony Epps, and mckaylebs. So we got
Speaker 1: a father's son and a father daughter in the classes year.
Speaker 1: Definite think that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: I think that's awesome. I mean that, and you look
Speaker 3: at what they've been able to do since, you know,
Speaker 3: since they got a high school and continued on. That's
Speaker 3: that's really cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's thet.
Speaker 4: Kudos to make a decision to tom at that way
Speaker 4: where they can.
Speaker 1: Have a father son and a father daughter.
Speaker 3: I thought they were I thought he was gonna say
Speaker 3: me he was going in Ryan.
Speaker 1: I was an Indiana basketball legend. We saw that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've done so much for a high school basketball,
Speaker 3: especially when you used to do the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 4: That's right, and you already take credit for food you
Speaker 4: didn't cook. You just take credit for basketball careers too.
Speaker 1: Well, why you guys are patting me on the back,
Speaker 1: let me tell you about Stockton Mortgat.
Speaker 4: I didn't want to gloss over though. You tweeted that
Speaker 4: photo of a young ron Limited point guard.
Speaker 1: And look good, dude. Didn't get ready to put the
Speaker 1: move on that dude.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it look like young Steve Alfred.
Speaker 1: I remember that game that was my senior year in
Speaker 1: the sectional, which did you guys call the district tournament
Speaker 1: Kentucky Sectional. I had eight points and on that picture,
Speaker 1: I definitely pitt blew past him and throw it threw
Speaker 1: up in a lay up.
Speaker 4: I believe you were locked in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, enough of that Stockton Margat the little

Speaker 2: Familia on Draft Kings you can do it as well.
Speaker 2: Promo code KSR.
Speaker 1: It's at home. They're not gonna lose a historic Memorial coliseum.

Speaker 4: Remember Eric Devendor, he's on the team. Wesley Matthews. I mean,
Speaker 4: these guys are older than I am.
Speaker 2: So if they win a single elimination now right, So
Speaker 2: then like, how many more games can they play at
Speaker 2: at at home? I'm gonna ask a home do that
Speaker 2: for the championship.
Speaker 4: I don't know, let's be honest. I kind of think
Speaker 4: they're figuring this out on the fly. But I was
Speaker 4: like everything, I don't think the championship, if we'll be
Speaker 4: on a home court, the next two will be.
Speaker 1: If it's up to TBT, they'd want it at historic
Speaker 1: Memorial costume because the fans are going to sell it
Speaker 1: out to be close to a sellout.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the quarterfinals now and it's moved a
Speaker 4: single elimination. I love they just made a format to
Speaker 4: get three Kentucky Mobile games.

Speaker 1: Uh yeah, McDonald's yeah, American Bandstand, themes on bandstand bandstand.
Speaker 4: So he's probably just rolling in money from these royalties.
Speaker 2: Yes, there were more.
Speaker 1: I can't think of what they are right now? Uh,
Speaker 1: do you have one more basketball note? Fanelo, you are
Speaker 1: I wanted to get in before we can run out
Speaker 1: of time. The number one high school player in Kentucky
Speaker 1: this year is Braxton Keighley Martin County High School, Little
Speaker 1: Bitty Martin County High School. He averaged like thirty three
Speaker 1: points a game last year. If he didn't leave the
Speaker 1: state scoring he was one of the top one. So
Speaker 1: the number one player in a basketball player in the
Speaker 1: stead of Kentucky's from Martin County High School, Bracton Keighley.
Speaker 1: He committed to college yesterday. He had offers from l
Speaker 1: s U, he had offers from Indiana, he had offers
Speaker 1: from a lot of big schools. He picked Pacific University
Speaker 1: in California. So my man is going from Martin County
Speaker 1: High School to Stockton, California.
Speaker 2: They're growing.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yes, So it had to be uh as good. So
Speaker 2: it had to be what a girl right, what you
Speaker 2: always say no not to Stockton, Calahoria.
Speaker 4: He just needs a picture of it to come out there.
Speaker 1: Talk about a culture shock going from Martin County. We've
Speaker 1: been there Little Bitty's County.
Speaker 2: So Martin county. Was was that the county that was
Speaker 2: dealing with the water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: That's Pepperdine and Pacific have the best. I mean Pepperdine
Speaker 3: is literally we were out there one time and we're
Speaker 3: driving up the coast with Kenny Rice. Remember Kenny, we
Speaker 3: were at there and I said, look at those condos.
Speaker 3: He goes, Jeff, those are dorms university and I'm like,
Speaker 3: what in the right that's the ocean.
Speaker 1: You're right on the ocean.
Speaker 4: I don't know how anyone graduates at time. I wouldn't
Speaker 4: do anything.
Speaker 1: Malibu And we talked about the SEC football media days.
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin ruffled some feathers yesterday where he said that
Speaker 1: nine and three teams and the SEC should be considered
Speaker 1: as like eleven and one teams and other conferences because
Speaker 1: the SEC is so strong. It's true, well all the
Speaker 1: big ten schools kind of clapping back, like hold my beer,
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, I think we've won the last two national championships.
Speaker 1: SEC ain't all that. What's your take on that, Jeff.
Speaker 3: I think there's two conferences that are just heading shoulders
Speaker 3: above everybody else, and it's those two. But I think
Speaker 3: what makes the SEC tougher than the Big Ten. Is
Speaker 3: the bottom schools in the Big Ten are atrocious, and
Speaker 3: Kentucky still fielded a pretty good team last year they
Speaker 3: were one of the bottom dwellers. I mean, I I
Speaker 3: just think that there's more depth in the SEC than
Speaker 3: there isn't the Big Ten.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Greg, think you talked about this too. We made
Speaker 4: the point. Yeah, they've got the last three rings. That's
Speaker 4: one team winning a couple of games at the end.
Speaker 4: But if you're just talking week to week, SEC is
Speaker 4: still much better and much more difficult as a conference.
Speaker 2: Do you love the trash talk that we're hearing from
Speaker 2: some of these coaches though? I mean not just Will Steinin,
Speaker 2: but Eli Drinkowitz. Trash talk in Kansas? I love that stuff.
Speaker 2: Look yeah, I mean that was really the biggest thing
Speaker 2: I think takeaway, Like, I can't believe you just said that.
Speaker 3: What did he say that the best thing coming out
Speaker 3: of Kansas was the and then the prettiest girls in camp.
Speaker 2: They gotta be their tourists.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I was like, wow, all right, and then you've got
Speaker 4: hypel encouraging Tennessee fans to bring mustards. Yeah, like coach
Speaker 4: speak normally this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, normally I would say, like SEC media
Speaker 2: Day is kind of boring, but then you get quotes
Speaker 2: like this and and some are all yelling at the guys.
Speaker 2: They he would throw up podium, you'd be kicked out
Speaker 2: of our locker room.
Speaker 1: Well, I love that, I was Shannon. Usually the SEC
