Speaker 5: It's going great, man, I'm so excited to be on

00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 5: the show. Thanks for having me.

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 6: We actually just practiced our practice for tomorrow.

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: What does that mean practice? You're practicing?

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 5: Like dude, there's still many moving parts in the football practice.

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 5: If we were to go out there tomorrow and have

35
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 5: not have walked where we're going to be the spots

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 5: on the field, what do these transitions look like?

37
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 6: It would have.

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 5: Looked like a hot pile of dog sahiit.

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 6: So what do you do as a football coach?

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 5: You plan, you prepare, And now I believe the kids

41
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 5: are going to go out tomorrow and be able to

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 5: take all the inkor just energy out because they know

43
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 5: where they're going in those spots. You know what the

44
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 5: drills look like. And so yeah, we just we practiced

45
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 5: the practice today.

46
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: How much of a change is it? I mean, you

47
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: haven't been a head coach. There's a sort of CEO management.

48
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: Part of that is that something that how much of

49
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: a change is that from what you've done up until

50
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 4: this point.

51
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 5: I would say it's it's been definitely a change. You know,

52
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 5: I'm used to being in an offensive staff room with

53
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 5: just the offensive coaches, recruiting, really the offensive side of

54
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 5: the ball. So now when you're a head coach, you

55
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 5: deal with every facet of the program, strength and conditioning, nutrition,

56
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 5: training room, you know, donor relations, more media.

57
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 6: But you know, I get to be a head coach,

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 6: Like how cool is that?

59
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: And to do it here Kentucky where you know, I'm

60
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: so excited to be and just ready to get wrong.

61
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: With these guys in spring ball. I know they're eager

62
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 5: to get out on the football field. They've been working

63
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 5: now eight weeks straight and what we've called the hunt

64
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 5: to get prepared for this phase two of our all seats.

65
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: So tell me, what what do you mean the hunt?

66
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

67
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's the grind, you know, It's it's

68
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 5: everything leading up to spring football. It's it's the early

69
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 5: winter workouts, it's you know, just the drills that are

70
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 5: combative and and make you strain and you know, make

71
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 5: you want to tap out, which is you know, the

72
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 5: mental warfare of playing football. But you know, one of

73
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 5: our core DNA trads is toughness. And that's really what

74
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 5: Winter Phase one, or the Hunt as we called it,

75
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: was all about.

76
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about your your team and specifically how

77
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: you built. I mean you had to essentially create a

78
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: team from scratch. You obviously are keeping a number of guys.

79
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: I look at the class you brought in in the roster,

80
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: and it seems to me that you spent a lot

81
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: of your rev Share money but also your attention on

82
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: building this core offensive line. Am I correct in that?

83
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, when I got the job, it was December second,

84
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: and December third was signing day.

85
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 6: Think about that. Yeah, you have no, you can't build a.

86
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 5: Twenty six class in twelve hours. It's absolutely impossible. So

87
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 5: you know, I like a lot of the kids that

88
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 5: we kept on I mean all of them, we kept them,

89
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: and I think there's actually some really good players in

90
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 5: that group. Out of the ten that we signed and

91
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 5: then I believe it was thirty four portal guys. And

92
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 5: think about this, we had sixty six official visits.

93
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 6: In a twelve day span. That's freaking unbelievable.

94
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 5: Man, Like the work of Pat Biondo, Pete Knachta, Joe Sloan,

95
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 5: Jay Bateman, the guys that were here boots on ground

96
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 5: while I was going back and forth between Oregon and Lexington.

97
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 6: I mean, it's really incredible.

98
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: There needs to be some sort of book or or

99
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: something written or documented about how they were able to

100
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 5: be here working with me and Oregon and us all

101
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 5: working together on different time zones to assemble what we

102
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 5: believe is a really strong class.

103
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 6: And you mentioned the offensive line. I think o one

104
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 6: d line in this league.

105
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 5: Man, that's where it starts, and it the winning foot

106
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 5: ball in November, December, January is up front. Like you

107
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 5: think about Indiana and what they're able to do in

108
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 5: their run, I mean, Bernana Mendoza phenomenal player, But how

109
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 5: did they beat Miami? They ran the freaking football, They

110
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 5: ran the ball. How did Miami get to where they were?

111
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 5: They have a dominant offensive line and running.

112
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 6: Backs that are big and physical. So that's where it's won.

113
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: The Georgia Bulldog teams of old Alabama Saban teams, it's

114
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: a common denominator. It's having big, giant human beings that

115
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 5: are physical upfront on the O line and D line,

116
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 5: so we can throw the ball down the field, so

117
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 5: we can run the ball in the fourth quarter. Wins,

118
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 5: so we can stop the run so we can affect

119
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: the quarterback. That's where it's won. And that was a major,

120
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 5: major piece of this puzzle.

121
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 4: And I think that surprised some people because we have

122
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: this stereotype of Oregan is just throw it around and

123
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 4: there's athletes everywhere, and you did that. You played Indiana

124
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 4: twice last year and they and they handled you guys fairly. Well,

125
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: was that do you see the way you build this

126
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: Kentucky program? Is Indiana a model? Mediana was maybe the

127
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 4: worst program in the major conference in the country. Or

128
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: is it kind of a model? How do you see that?

129
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 6: Well?

130
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I think any team that wins it all

131
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 5: is obviously doing something right. So the model of consistency

132
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 5: has always been Nick Saban and what he was able

133
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 5: to do with Alabama, and that really transitioned into Kirby

134
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 5: Smart and so I've learned that model per se in

135
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 5: the vision and eyes of Dan Lanning. That's going to

136
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 5: translate to now my vision and model for us here

137
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 5: at University of Kentucky. So you know, I look at

138
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 5: Kirk Signetti and what he was able to do there.

139
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 5: Obviously they're aligned from the top down. But I still

140
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 5: remember looking at visuals of the first game at IU

141
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 5: in that tenure and it was a half full stadiums. Yeah,

142
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 5: you know, they got momentum, they had you know, big

143
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 5: wins early, and they've they've done it not just offensively

144
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 5: but defensively, special teams and you can see just as

145
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 5: a program that they're extremely aligned and they have a

146
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 5: plan and they're going and attacking that plan. So that's

147
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 5: what I'm excited about is you know, given you know,

148
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 5: the resources that we have at our disposal, I think

149
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 5: we've done an excellent job so far.

150
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 6: But it's it's potential. It's everything that we're not.

151
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 5: And that's what I've always learned about that word is

152
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 5: potential is everything that you're not. So how do we

153
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: take the narrative of what Kentucky may have been in

154
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 5: the past and push the envelope forward?

155
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 6: And that's what we're doing right now. And I think

156
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 6: we have great.

157
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 5: Coaches, number one phenomenal players that are bought in right now,

158
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 5: and I'm just excited to get rolling.

159
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: All right, let's talk about the team because we're all

160
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 4: going to have to learn this team quarterback. Didn't know

161
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: who he was until I heard he was about to

162
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: come here, Kenneth mentioned, So tell everybody, this is going

163
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 4: to be kind of for a lot of people, their

164
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 4: first real description from someone they trust about who the

165
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 4: quarterback is going to be next year. Tell me about Minji.

166
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 6: Well, he went to Notre Dame, so we all know

167
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 6: he's not very smart.

168
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 5: If you want to, he's extremely intelligent, right, extremely intelligent.

169
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 6: Can fit in any room.

170
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 5: Just talking about him as a person old, young, white, black, rich, poor,

171
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter.

172
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 6: You put Kenny Minche in the room. And he's a

173
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 6: glue guy.

174
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 5: So when I have glue guys as my quarterback, to me,

175
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 5: that makes the locker room better, makes the locker room

176
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 5: more connected. So I'm really excited about him just as

177
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 5: a person, he's extremely competitive. And then as a player,

178
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 5: like we all watch the tape and you can say, well,

179
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 5: he played a mop up time I did it right,

180
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,119
Speaker 5: he did, there's truth to that, But when you watch

181
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 5: the throws, there's pro throws all over the tape, there's anticipation,

182
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 5: there's timing, there's touch, there's velocity, there's pocket mobility. He

183
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 5: can throw the deep, bull can throw it intermediate in

184
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 5: short So that's what I'm excited about. And it's been

185
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 5: pretty impressive to see him take this offense that we've

186
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 5: built up to this point, and it was almost like

187
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 5: he's been in it for four years. So that gives

188
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 5: me great excitement for his ability to transition and really

189
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 5: show his ability to play football at a high level here.

190
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 5: And I talked to Mike Denbrock, talked to Gino Goodooley,

191
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 5: talk to these guys at Notre Dame that have coached

192
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 5: him the last four years, and it was really like

193
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 5: a coin.

194
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 6: Toss, you know.

195
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 5: Obviously Coach Freeman had the final say and who was

196
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 5: going to be the guy, and they went with a

197
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 5: younger player. But I'm just excited that Kenny's here with us,

198
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 5: and I think our fans are gonna be.

199
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: Has he been all that you hoped like? Has he been?

200
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 5: He's an excellent player person and again ready to see

201
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 5: him take the range of this offense over the next

202
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 5: fifteen practices.

203
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 4: All right, let's assume that I was hosting Kentucky countdown

204
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: to kickoff and Will Snein was not the coach, but

205
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 4: he was our expert commentator. Give me a minute to

206
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 4: minute and a half. What do I as a fan

207
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 4: look for in this Kentucky team? Who are some people

208
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: that stick out to you? And when they come to

209
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 4: the spring game here in a little while, who's going

210
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 4: to be Like, Okay, that is the the basis for

211
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 4: who this team will be.

212
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 5: Well, I think you just first look at just us holistically,

213
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 5: like who we are as a team. We're gonna be connected,

214
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 5: like connected in every sense possible. Our players are gonna

215
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 5: be connected to each other that they're gonna play their

216
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 5: absolute uh butts off for each other, play relentless football

217
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 5: from point a to point b, six point point a

218
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 5: to point b six seconds of hell like offense, defense, special.

219
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 6: Teams, six seconds of hell, three seconds of freaking hell.

220
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: Man, get the T shirts. That's the first time I've

221
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: heard that.

222
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 5: Yes, So that's something that we're gonna you know, hang

223
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 5: our hats on is just the connectivity of the of

224
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 5: the of the team and like I mentioned, player to

225
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 5: player coach, the player connection and then coaches that truly

226
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 5: love each other and are passionate about working with each other.

227
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 6: You know, that's one.

228
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 5: Like I want our team to play clean, like obviously,

229
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 5: limit penalties, limit explosive plays. Guys that can play the

230
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 5: same call on offense, defense, and specially teams every single snap.

231
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 6: That's huge to us.

232
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 5: You know offensively too. I think you're gonna look at

233
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 5: like a modern pro style offense. What does that mean,

234
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 5: Like we change the tempo up. It's not fast paced

235
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: every single snap. We have the ability to go fast.

236
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 5: We have the ability to slow it down.

237
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 6: Huddle we have we can huddle.

238
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 5: We can huddle, speed break, we can do a bunch

239
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 5: of stuff at the line of scrimmage to change the

240
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 5: play to get us in the best possible scenario. You're

241
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 5: gonna see RPOs. You're gonna see shots, see vertical passing game,

242
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 5: different run schemes.

243
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 7: You know.

244
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 5: I believe we put an exciting product on the field

245
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: on offense and then defensively, I mean we're gonna be

246
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 5: extremely sound but attacking, like a team that will put

247
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 5: pressure on the quarterback, calls havoc on the quarterback, a

248
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 5: third down package. To me that it is the best

249
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 5: in college football. With what Jay was able to do

250
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 5: at Texas A and M with him and coach Elco.

251
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: So that's really exciting as well. And then special team

252
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 5: is all about changing the game. That's our mantra on

253
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 5: special teams. How do we change the game? You know,

254
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 5: I'm a risk taker, like I want to get the

255
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 5: ball back for offense.

256
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 6: What does that look like each game? It can differ

257
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 6: from you know.

258
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 5: Surprise on sides, fake punts, punt block situations, you know,

259
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 5: gate formations on special teams and extra points, Like I

260
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 5: want to put pressure on the opposing team through special teams.

261
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 5: It is one third of the game, and you're gonna

262
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 5: see our best players playing on special teams. It's not

263
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 5: just an opportunity to take a playoff, it's an opportunity

264
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 5: for us to really change the game.

265
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 6: So I'm really fired up.

266
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 5: The players are doing a great job, you know, not

267
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 5: to single out one person or two. I'm just excited

268
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 5: for our fans of go out and watch watch the

269
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 5: product that we're gonna put on the field and make

270
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 5: them proud.

271
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 4: All right, So I know nothing, so I admit that

272
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: to start, but I look at the roster and I go, okay,

273
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 4: love what he did at offensive line. I'm excited about

274
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 4: this quarterback. I wonder do they have you know, one

275
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: thing Oregon always have. We're playmakers at receiver. Do you

276
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 4: feel like you have the playmakers at receiver you need.

277
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 5: I love Nick Anderson, I really do. I love DJ Miller,

278
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 5: I love uh, you know JK in the slot. I

279
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 5: love Kenny Darby, who we signed.

280
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 8: Shoot.

281
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 6: I love a lot of our guys. I mean I

282
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 6: think there we got a strong core of receivers. I

283
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 6: really do.

284
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 5: Especially some younger guys too, I think are going to

285
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 5: show out. I love Willie Rodriguez at tight end, Michel Skinner,

286
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 5: Henry Boyer.

287
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: What about Willie Rodriguez? People know him, What have you

288
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 4: seen with him so far?

289
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 6: He's got a ton of talent, a ton of talent.

290
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 5: He's extremely willing in this Sierra to put his face

291
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 5: on people on block. But I think he can be

292
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 5: a really matchup problem for teams in the slot and

293
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 5: even on the perimeter.

294
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 6: So An a Kentucky kid, this place means a lot to him.

295
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 5: So obviously had Kenny Sadek at Oregon. It was a special,

296
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 5: rare talent. We had Terrence ferguson there, and you know

297
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 5: this past season we even had Jamari Johnson. So Titans

298
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 5: in our offense have really traditionally done really well. So

299
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 5: I'm excited about him. I was glad that he really

300
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,599
Speaker 5: glad that he decided to come back be a Wildcat,

301
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 5: and that was somebody we we definitely wanted to keep.

302
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: All Right, now, I look at this. I can't be

303
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: the first person to say, man, this schedule next year.

304
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I've been a Kentucky's football schedule is always hard,

305
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 4: but you may have inherited the hardest one I've ever seen.

306
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: So you look you love it, though, You're like, let's

307
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: be scared.

308
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 6: Man, I'm not scared. You scared? Go to church, bro,

309
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 6: come on see.

310
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: I love it though, but you're.

311
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 6: Supposed to do.

312
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 5: Let me call it the schools up and say hey,

313
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 5: can you please not play us? I'm man, we signed

314
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 5: up for it.

315
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 4: I love that, indeed, and I would assume that's partially

316
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: why guys would be excited to play here.

317
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: Right, we get to play Alabama LSU given Saturday.

318
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 5: Yes, I watched the freaking Wildcats. Uh, I mean it

319
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 5: should it be Texas last year? I mean, come on, yes, miss,

320
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: I mean I just think about we had Will Levis

321
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 5: and we had Liam Cohen call and plays won ten

322
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 5: freaking games, like on a tough schedule, Like we got

323
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 5: score points, right, we have to score. We have to

324
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 5: stop people when it matters. That's not just true for Kentucky,

325
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 5: It's true for everybody, you know. I mean, shoot, you

326
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 5: could say all these teams are assembled, Well, everybody's got players.

327
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 5: We have the starting left tacking from Tennessee playing for

328
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: US right now. Think about that. Yeah, we got played

329
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 5: at Ohio State planning left guard, starting sending for Baylor

330
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 5: playing for US. If we have good players and we

331
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 5: have good coaches, So like, cut it loose, man, don't

332
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 5: be scared. Cut it loose.

333
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 6: Whatever happens happens. We have a process. We go through

334
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 6: that process throughout the week. We're doing it right now.

335
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 5: And like when you have a great process, do the

336
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 5: results always happen the way that you want it?

337
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 6: No, that's football.

338
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 5: Even at Oregon we had the most elite process in

339
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 5: the you know that I've been a part of that.

340
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 5: I'm building here. And we got our asses kicked in

341
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 5: the semifinal like that. That doesn't mean we were a

342
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 5: bad team. That means that we had a bad result.

343
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 5: We didn't play well. So it's up to us to

344
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 5: create competition, real competition and practice. Practice has to be hard.

345
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 5: Football is a tough freaking game. It's hard to win.

346
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 5: You've heard that from every coach, and it's so hard

347
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 5: to win.

348
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 6: It is hard.

349
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 5: It's real because every team, especially in this league, has

350
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 5: great players.

351
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 6: So you have to be able to run the ball.

352
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 6: That matters. You have to have great quarterback play, and

353
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 6: you have to affect the passer. You have to. So

354
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 6: that's the plan.

355
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 5: It's our job right now to build that plan out,

356
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 5: to get real confidence with our guys, and then when

357
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 5: we step foot in Krogerfield on September fifth against Youngtoun State,

358
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 5: like let's see if our process is what we thought

359
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 5: it was and wherever it wasn't, wherever it lacked, we adjust,

360
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 5: we make changes, and then we go attack the next week.

361
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 5: So there's no guarantees in football right at all. All

362
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: I know is like hard work building a roster and

363
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 5: then going out and cutting loose, yeah, and not being

364
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 5: afraid to fail, Like just go cut it freaking loose.

365
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 4: I was saying that, I look at in that week three,

366
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 4: you play Alabama, and I know you've got two games

367
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 4: before that, are we two? We two or three anyway,

368
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 4: but play them at home. And I was thinking, that's

369
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 4: gonna be one of the coolest days in Lexington.

370
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: Like it really is.

371
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 4: That's gonna be one of the coolest days in Lexington.

372
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 4: When you thought about doing this job, it's part of

373
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 4: it thinking about that opportunity to have days like that

374
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: where you're playing these great programs in your home state.

375
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 5: Well, I think the coolest day in lectioning is gonna

376
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 5: be September fifth, number one inn state.

377
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 6: I know that's coach talk, that's real.

378
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 5: What I don't need to do is give those guys

379
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 5: who are tough as hell a sound bite the Matt

380
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 5: Jones show about me thinking about the second game.

381
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: Of the year, gotcha, fair enough.

382
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 5: I'm so focused on freaking spring, dude, I am, and

383
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 5: like I'm so jacked up for tomorrow getting on the grass,

384
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 5: get on the turf, like like we got two practice

385
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 5: shields out here. I'm looking at them right now, like

386
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 5: it's it's beautiful. I'm in Lexington, Kentucky. I get the

387
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 5: coach the Wildcats. That is what I'm so fired up

388
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 5: about and really being entrenched in that process. And when

389
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 5: we get to those games in our league. Man, it's

390
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 5: gonna be awesome. But what I can't wait is for

391
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 5: Kroger Field to be packed sold out for that first

392
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 5: game against Youngstown State.

393
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 4: What has been the part of the program since you've

394
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 4: been here that has surprised you the most, or maybe

395
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 4: been the thing that you didn't know about Kentucky football

396
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 4: that you've come here and going, oh, okay, that's a

397
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 4: little different than I thought.

398
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 6: I mean, shoot, man, there's so many to talk about.

399
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 5: I will say this, the support from our fans and

400
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 5: our you know, the people that help us out on

401
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 5: a day to day basis, has been incredible.

402
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 6: It really has been.

403
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 5: I mean, Big Blue Nation is even more than I

404
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 5: could have ever known. I was a part of Big

405
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 5: Blue Nation as a fan, but to see how dedicated

406
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 5: they are to the Wildcats all of our sports. I mean,

407
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 5: I'm at the gymnastics meet and there's two thousand people

408
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 5: in there. Yes, Kalli, this is freaking unbelievable. Women's basketballgains

409
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 5: South Carolina. It's packed a Memorial Coliseum to the brim.

410
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 5: That's what I'm just so thankful to be here to

411
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 5: represent them. I mean, I'm at the legislature I'm there

412
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 5: with our president, doctor Capaluto and meeting people there, and like,

413
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 5: I mean, there's Wildcat fans everywhere. It's really cool to

414
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 5: see how big of a pool we have throughout not

415
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 5: just the state, but the entire country.

416
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: I have two listener questions, well, listener friend slash questions

417
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: and then we'll get you out here. One is from

418
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 2: a former KSR member Max Stuffy Ray guy winner here

419
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: just a few years ago, and he goes, I got

420
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: one question for Will. Does he like Australian's punting?

421
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 5: We got one, Yeah, heck yeah, big Aussie guy. Then hey,

422
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 5: whoever can change the field I'm good with. We have

423
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 5: we have an Aussie right now.

424
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 4: And lastly, this comes from a listener of the show

425
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 4: also who says, how does Will see recruiting in the

426
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 4: state of Kentucky does Obviously it's important, But how important

427
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 4: is it going forward in terms of who he will

428
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: recruit out of high school?

429
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean recruiting always starts within your state. No

430
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 5: matter where I've been, you have to win the state always.

431
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 5: So obviously I may not to mention the name we

432
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 5: we got.

433
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 6: You know, you know that there's right, So that's something

434
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 6: that you know can't allow to happen. You can.

435
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 5: We have to win the state, especially when you have

436
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 5: extremely talented players, which I'm excited about in this twenty

437
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 5: seven class.

438
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 6: You know guys that are here. So but here's what

439
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you too, right, I'm not going to

440
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 6: beg man. I'm not. You either want to be a

441
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 6: part of this or you don't. We have every resource

442
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 6: possible to go sign great players. The way that you

443
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 6: recruit is still old school.

444
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 5: It's still communications, still waking kids up in the morning

445
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 5: and putting on the bed at night, still touching everybody

446
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 5: in their life that matters to them, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, coaches, trainers,

447
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 5: now agents. That's still the way to recruit. So it's

448
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 5: our job to always start within the confines of the Commonwealth,

449
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 5: and then we'll go wherever we need to. I've said

450
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 5: it before. I'll go to Alaska, I'll go to freaking

451
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 5: wherever to get the best players possible for us to

452
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 5: go win and win the way that we want to.

453
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 4: You've created two sayings that will outlive this interview. Six

454
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 4: seconds of hell and if you're scared, go to church.

455
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 4: I can just go ahead and tell you yep, I

456
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 4: know this fan base. Both of those you're gonna be

457
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 4: hearing for a long time. Well, thank you very much

458
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 4: for taking the time. Look forward to being out there

459
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 4: at some point during spring practice and go give them hell.

460
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 9: Well.

461
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,120

Speaker 4: Let's do a couple of news tidbits here. First, you

505
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 4: kind of I think this is what Will Stein's referred to.

506
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 4: Seneca Driver committed to Oklahoma. Tough loss for Kentucky, number

507
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 4: one tight end in the country. Will says, we're not

508
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 4: going to beg Uh. I like, I appreciate that. Tough

509
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 4: though to lose him he was. He's just he could

510
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 4: be a star as tough. He is a star Ka Tuck.

511
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 4: He's been recruiting for a long time, little solds everybody else.

512
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 4: Just a superstar player. Gonna be a senior at Boyle

513
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 4: County next year.

514
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: Remember, Jason Witten is a tight end coach at Oklahoma.

515
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 10: Now, Uh, you know, I don't like to lose a recruit.

516
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 10: But when Jason went in a Hall of Fame tight

517
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 10: end as the tight ends coach, you can understand why

518
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 10: Seneca might lean that way.

519
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: A little bit. Maybe can change his mind by the time.

520
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 4: Remember it's a long road, got another year before he

521
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 4: plays college football. Also, we've learned a year or two

522
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 4: might end up into port.

523
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: They don't quit recruiting these kids just because you've verbally

524
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: committed to somebody.

525
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: That's right, So long road.

526
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 4: Brydon Hawthorne told The Harold Leader this morning he will

527
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 4: return to Kentucky.

528
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: So we have one player next year.

529
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: There we go build the roster.

530
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 10: Now, it seems early portl had an him open yet,

531
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 10: but I like it. I hope it's I hope that

532
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 10: stays firm if he can put on a little bit

533
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 10: of wait this year. I mean, I think the red

534
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 10: shirt was silly, but he was so thin. I don't

535
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 10: know that it could have helped. But think if he

536
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 10: can bulk up, he's very skilled.

537
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: I like it.

538
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if he hadn't gotten hurt, if he would

539
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: have played this year because they were kind of you know,

540
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: maybe then maybe.

541
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 4: But it's good. We now certainly have one one. I

542
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 4: think that kid can be good. So I think that'll

543
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 4: that'll be a really positive addition. So with that, let's

544
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 4: go through here. Mike, Mike, go ahead, Hey there, you

545
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 4: take me off speaker go.

546
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 11: Oh my bad. So anyway, the reason I'm Colin is

547
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 11: thanks for letting me, let me come on. But I

548
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 11: appreciate you guys. This show been a long time listening

549
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 11: for a long time. So so I guess me as

550
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 11: Kentucky fan. For I'm fifty one years old, since I was,

551
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 11: you know, probably seven eight years old, and seeing a

552
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 11: lot of great things, a lot of bad things. Whatever

553
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 11: my my fear, and I guess, you know, maybe I

554
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 11: need to go to church, and I do need to

555
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 11: go to church.

556
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 2: But go for it. Give me your point, go ahead.

557
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 11: Oh My point is this is that next year. This

558
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 11: is what I'm looking at right now, is next year?

559
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 11: You know with what we?

560
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 9: Uh?

561
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 11: Were we standing with anybody right now? You know what

562
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 11: I mean? And I'm just like, you know, with Pope.

563
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 11: You know this year, I mean it was just a disaster.

564
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 11: Next year, I mean recruiting wise, I mean, I mean

565
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 11: normally we have a we have a stack team, and

566
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 11: I mean now we have nothing.

567
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 4: It's a completely and I appreciate the call, completely reasonable worry.

568
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: Next six weeks will tell it.

569
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 4: I mean I can't I can't say anything that's gonna

570
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 4: make you feel better, Drew, because there's nothing really to say.

571
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 4: I don't know who they might get. I don't even

572
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 4: know if they know who they might get. So it's

573
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 4: hard to say confidently anything.

574
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 10: Completely agree with you. If I were to give you

575
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 10: a little optimism and this is a stretch, but they

576
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 10: seem to be in good communication with Dink. Payt our

577
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 10: guy Jacob said they're gonna talk to him again this week.

578
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 10: I know people are conflicted on the G League thing,

579
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 10: but we need bodies. Yeah, and uh, if he can

580
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 10: come help out, that's a six seven guard to averaging

581
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 10: sixteen points for the Westchester Nicks. And I don't know

582
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 10: if he'll end up here, but Pope's at least pursuing that.

583
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 4: I'm not conflicted. If he's allowed to play, getting period,

584
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 4: end of story.

585
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: That's it.

586
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: If the rules allow it, you got to adjust. And

587
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: if you can get somebody like that, you do it.

588
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: If he's allowed to play, you do it. How does

589
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: that work?

590
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 10: If he comes here and he looks good but the

591
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 10: Knicks still own him, Can he can he just leave

592
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 10: college and the Knicks sign him. We've never seen anything

593
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 10: like that before because they own his rights.

594
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

595
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 10: I like October them calling him be like, well, it's

596
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 10: a fun month I'm heading to.

597
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering that I don't know if honestly don't

598
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 2: know the answer that question. I I we've never seen anything.

599
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: We've never seen it. I don't know if they'll still

600
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: own his rights next year. I'm not sure, to be honest,

601
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 2: go ahead, Mike.

602
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, I hate it. I'm more I'm at right now.

603
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 9: But you know, I've kind of got to take on

604
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 9: the basketball and I was gonna try to convince you

605
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 9: guys to come with me here. But I really feel like,

606
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 9: and I hate to say it, because I hope, I

607
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 9: was hoping it would work out, that we need to

608
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 9: make a switch, and I know everybody says they won't

609
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 9: do it. We need to make a switch after this year,

610
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 9: because I feel like we're too far behind, and he

611
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 9: looks desperate. I don't think he can. He doesn't look

612
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 9: confident like he's going to fix it. And even if

613
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 9: he does get a GM, who's coming in here with

614
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 9: a setting up coach. Kayshawn Prince ain't even to come

615
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 9: here to get fired in one year.

616
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 4: I think they can get a good GYM. I do think,

617
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 4: and I think you can even go further. And I

618
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: appreciate the call. A GM could get hired and could

619
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 4: keep the job even if the coach changed one day.

620
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: Could you know in general, in other sports, a GM

621
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 4: is hired by like the president of the team and

622
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 4: the coach reports to the GM. Now, this is going

623
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 4: to be kind of weird because you're going to actually

624
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: have that structure flipped. The GM works for the coach,

625
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 4: which is not how it is in professional team right.

626
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 4: So I think that's an interesting, odd dichotomy that I'm

627
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 4: not exactly sure how that's gonna work out.

628
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: We've talked about will Stein brought his GM. He was

629
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: here before will even got here.

630
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 4: But those gyms were if will Stein wants to replacing

631
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 4: he can, Whereas like in the NBA, the GM is

632
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 4: the one who hires the trache.

633
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 10: I'm a big Titans guy. We've had GM coach drama

634
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 10: the last few years, just rotating through all of them.

635
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 10: It is a weird dynamic.

636
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: It is different though, This is the GM is under

637
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: the coach here, which is different. Peggy, go ahead, Peggy.

638
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 7: Good morning, guys, Good morning.

639
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 8: First of all, they should have never let they bake

640
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 8: or go. But my thought for replacing him, and I'm

641
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 8: sure we'll never get him, is Tom Hart. And they

642
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 8: still need to get rid of Cameron. And I never

643
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 8: ever want Dicky Vee to call a Kentucky Florida game

644
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 8: because all he did was talked about Florida.

645
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: Well, they were beating us, Florida, they were beating us

646
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: pretty bad.

647
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 8: Yeah they were. But all he did was big about Florida.

648
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 8: He never mentioned Kentucky and all he talked throughout was

649
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 8: Florida and his foundation. His foundation is a great foundation.

650
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 8: But you don't hog up the whole time talking about Florida.

651
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I understand that. I appreciate the call. What do

652
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 4: you think about? Uh, Dicky V with a strong Dicky

653
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 4: V with a strong comment about about our roster, saying,

654
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 4: if they're going to spend twenty two million dollars, they

655
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 4: should have better players than this.

656
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: Do you hear our fan base say it e than

657
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: we may say it on this show.

658
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: It's weird to hear. Dicky V doesn't say things like

659
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: that very often.

660
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: Yet when he when he said something like that on

661
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: a national broadcast, that kind of resonates a little harder.

662
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: I think he's not usually very critical. It's usually oh

663
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: Mark popele turns.

664
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 10: You know, he's putting belief him if he don't truly

665
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 10: believe it, just because he's not really that critical of

666
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 10: people on broadcast. So that that was another layer of

667
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 10: just throwing your hands up in the air with this

668
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 10: team and how the season's gone.

669
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: I said hi to him right before the game. I

670
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: reached over, I took a picture, and he goes, are

671
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 2: they going to win? And I said I don't know,

672
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: and he goes, no one knows, which I thought was like,

673
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: well that's true. Yet that is kind of true, Donnie.

674
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Donnie.

675
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 7: Yes, my faults are for every postseason game. We should

676
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 7: start mode dia Bonte and set yellowvich and come out

677
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 7: physical and punch him into my mouth for every postseason

678
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 7: game for the rest of the season. And I still

679
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 7: haven't given up on the Cats.

680
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: Appreciate the call. Do you agree with that? Appreciate the

681
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: call there at the end. Yeah? Yeah, about not giving

682
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: up on the Cats or starting Diabatee. Yeah, I'm a

683
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: big Yellovich guy, and I think he has so much more,

684
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 2: but he just can't get into groove. When he plays

685
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: the first half, then it just goes to diabate So

686
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 2: I'd rather if Diaboatee is gonna play like he has lately, Uh,

687
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, go ahead and let him start and

688
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: get the most minutes. It ends up being him most

689
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 2: of the game. Anyway, I agree I kind of think

690
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: now Diabate is more of a starter. Yep, I do

691
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: Wondervich off the bench potentially to hit threes, et cetera

692
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: and add a spark.

693
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 10: I wish Yellovich had more opportunities in November to get

694
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 10: a little more comfortable. I think his ceiling is a

695
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 10: lot higher than what we're ever going to get near here.

696
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and switch, I thought it was warranted. I thought,

697
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: go ahead, it's needed to start. Now I think it's flipped.

698
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: I do think Diabotti probably needs to start now.

699
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that.

700
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 4: Yellovich made comments after the game where he said, we've

701
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 4: just got some guys that get away from the team

702
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 4: basketball and if they haven't gotten the ball in two

703
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 4: or three minutes, they just shoot.

704
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: Who's he talking about.

705
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 1: Well, if we're gone on on the game, Oway did it,

706
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: Aberdeen did it, Diabate did it, Jasp.

707
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean when Jasper comes in, it's there is a

708
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: sense with all four of those guys that they will take. Actually,

709
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: don't think Aberdeen does it as much.

710
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: He usually does it after he hits a shot.

711
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 2: When he hits one shot, he's got out in a way.

712
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 2: It's hard for me to get upset at it because.

713
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: He's best player.

714
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's right, that does happen.

715
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 10: He was talking about guys that go whill without the

716
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 10: ball though you know way in Aberdeen they have a lot.

717
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 10: It was guys that go two or three minutes without

718
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 10: it then think it's their turn.

719
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, there is there is a little bit sometimes you

720
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 4: can feel it of Okay, I okay, now me, there

721
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 4: is a little bit of that.

722
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 2: It was also great Symar would do it sometimes.

723
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: I can't say he's he's got to get the ball

724
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: in his hands. Man only shot shot him down two

725
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: straight games. He's got to find a way to get

726
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: older and get to get a shot.

727
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 10: It was also great to Yellowvich or someone it was

728
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 10: him say fatigue is not a problem.

729
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: It was Yellovich. He did say that fatigue is not

730
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: a problem. That's not an excuse for us, is what

731
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: he said.

732
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:50,920

00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,560

Speaker 1: with you all the way for like ten years.

756
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 4: As he might, Yeah, it was not I love Boons

757
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 4: Butcher Shop, but we should really support the ones that

758
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 4: are doing it absolutely and not always shan and bringing

759
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 4: up Boons Butcher Shop. Even though I like Boons Butcher Shop,

760
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 4: but you keep bringing that up and it has been

761
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 4: a decade since Boon's Butcher Shop has.

762
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 3: Been us has been with us for a long time,

763

Speaker 6: We're gonna have later on.

00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 4: We're gonna talk a lot more about this tomorrow. But

768
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 4: what we think the crowd will be like, We're actually

769
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 4: not gonna be there yet. We're gonna be getting We're

770
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 4: gonna be on the way so here we would like

771
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 4: to come watch the game. So we're gonna do the show,

772
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: leave here at like eleven, get in the car, and

773
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 4: then we're gonna drive to Bowling Green and watch the

774
