Speaker 6: the whole crew. Super great for what you guys do.

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much. First of all, you know

33
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: what I've heard you do some of your intro interviews,

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: so I won't repeat those questions. You mind if we

35
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: talk some of the details that fans I know are

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: interested in. You good with that.

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 5: Let's let's get in the weeds man. That's what thankes

38
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 5: Kentucky Basketball great.

39
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: I love it all right. Let's start with your staff.

40
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: You added, uh I think four of the five members

41
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: have been announced. Looks like a couple really I know

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: or focus for you on recruiting. We've got the Mark

43
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: Fox who I know, and then the Cody that you

44
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: brought from BYU. Tell people what you're what they're getting

45
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: in your staff.

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 5: I love the staff so far. It's it's probably the

47
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 5: most eclectic staff I've had, for sure, and I think

48
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 5: guys that are not just bringing unique strengths and unique

49
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 5: dimensions to the staff, but also bringing them from from

50
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 5: wildly different categories. I think the breadth of what we

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 5: have on the staff has got me super excited.

52
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 6: We've you know, we've actually.

53
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 5: The four of us have only been together now for

54
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 5: I don't know, seventy two hours maybe all.

55
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 6: Together in the same room.

56
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 5: And so it's it's and and what's nice has been

57
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 5: We've been recruiting so hard that we're actually spending a

58
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 5: lot of time together in situations where it's just it's

59
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 5: just flowing conversation. And I dig it, man, I'm telling you.

60
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 5: I was in the room with with coach Fieger a

61
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 5: long time, long time I'm uh coaching partner with me,

62
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 5: and then Jason Hart, who you know we played together

63
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: with the Milwaukee Bucks.

64
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 6: I've known it forever and love them.

65
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 5: And watching those two personalities just like bounce off each other,

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 5: the room was electric and I'm just like this, and

67
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 5: I was sitting back and I'm like, yep, this is

68
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 5: exactly what this is supposed to be. Those are just

69
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 5: That's one example of just those guys making each other.

70
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 6: Better and I love it. So I dig the vibe. Man.

71
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 6: Right now, it's it's it's.

72
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 5: Gotta be great, like our job is to be great.

73
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 5: And and in the early early early stages, I'm like,

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 5: there's some synergy here with these guys that's going to

75
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 5: be really, really special.

76
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: It's interesting to say you gotta be great. One of

77
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: the things I've really liked is it feels like you've

78
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: embraced the call to This is Kentucky. It's another level

79
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: and I got to reach that. Am I right about that?

80
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 6: Yes? I want to understand. I mean, this is this

81
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 6: is this is the job, this is the this is

82
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 6: the best job in college basketball.

83
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 5: It's the most demanding job in college basketball. It's it's

84
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 5: the mecca of college basketball.

85
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 6: There's nowhere like it. And with that comes this deal.

86
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 5: It's like, hey, you either got to get the job

87
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: done or you're not. You know, there's no there's no

88
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 5: you know, there's no second place, guys. It's just the

89
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 5: reality of this job.

90
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 6: I know full well what this is.

91
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 5: I think I've shared this a couple of times.

92
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 6: But.

93
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: You know, twenty eight years ago, when I was walking

94
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 5: the whole length of the court to go shoot feet throws,

95
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 5: and the only thing that enter in my mind is

96
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 5: if I don't make these freet throws, I will never

97
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 5: be allowed to cross the state line into Kentucky again.

98
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 6: Literally with fear for physical harm.

99
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 3: That was the only fact going through my mind.

100
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 5: I get it, like we say this all the time,

101
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 5: but we understand the assignment and we're embracing it, and

102
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 5: it's terrifying and that makes it beautiful. That's why this

103
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 5: place especially, and that's why we're just so related to

104
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 5: be here.

105
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: Let's talk roster. I know you there's some things you

106
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: can and can't talk about, so I'll just do a

107
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: big picture. You have, by my account, six guys now

108
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: in your roster for next year. How do you feel

109
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: about what you you have, how do you feel about

110
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: what you're what you're trying to get? You feel good

111
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: about these next couple of weeks? And do you expect

112
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: to fill up all thirteen slots?

113
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you're smarter than me.

114
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: I'm I'm a to take those questions whether the time.

115
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 5: So I'm really excited about where we are today. I

116
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 5: think that it's it's a little bit the way I

117
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 5: feel about the staff.

118
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 6: You know, this is really artistic.

119
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 5: I think putting together a staff and putting together a

120
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: roster have a similarity, and it's very artistic. It is

121
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 5: puzzle pieces, and with every new piece it kind of

122
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 5: changes the picture where you have to readjust the next

123
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 5: you know what you're looking for in the next piece,

124
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 5: and you don't have there's so many factors you don't

125
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 5: have control over. You don't have control over timing sometimes

126
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 5: about when a.

127
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 6: Player is going to commit. You don't always have control

128
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 6: over you know, if.

129
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 5: He's going to commit, and and so you know, on

130
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 5: our big board right now, we're actually working with twenty

131
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 5: nine guys that we've really really zeroed in on. And

132
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: every time somebody breaks a little bit in our direction

133
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 5: or maybe fades a little bit out of our direction.

134
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 5: As we do more research and more with consistance and

135
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 5: hear more information about guys and how they're built, it

136
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 5: doesn't just change the picture for that player, it changes

137
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 5: the picture for all twenty you know, almost thirty guys.

138
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 6: And so I'm.

139
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 5: Elated with where we are right now. We got a

140
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 5: ton of work to do. We feel like we're really

141
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 5: close in a lot of areas. I feel like we're

142
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 5: spending an inordinate amount of time as a staff late night's,

143
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 5: early mornings, kind of like we just keep talking it through,

144
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 5: talking it through, talking through to make sure that we get.

145
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 6: The right collection.

146
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 5: And we're happy with where we are right now and

147
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 5: excited about the coming weeks.

148
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: Do you think you'll fill up the entirety? Well? Use

149
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: will you use all thirteen scholarships?

150
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 5: You know we're gonna see. So I'll give you an

151
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 5: example of the way that we work. So I knew

152
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 5: that we had to with this staff together really really fast, okay,

153
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 5: and I I kind of zeroed in on a short

154
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 5: list of guys and ended up with actually the four

155
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 5: guys that I was desperate to get.

156
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 6: And then we're taking a little pause.

157
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 5: I have some more people to add to this staff,

158
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 5: but I need to take a little pause right now

159
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 5: and just kind of see how our pieces are fitting together.

160
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 5: And and then we'll go light speed again. But this

161
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 5: like a surge of a pause where you just you

162
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: just get a chance to breathe it in and see

163
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 5: exactly where you are and once you need and and

164
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: so I imagine that as we get to that place, there

165
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 5: will be a lot of things that would come into

166
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 5: play for example.

167
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 6: You know, you know, I don't know how fast we can.

168
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 5: Get to ten or eleven or twelve, but you know,

169
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 5: if we get there before this draft deadline, you know,

170
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 5: we definitely will take a pause just because we're gonna

171
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 5: leave some room open in case. You know, we're talking

172
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 5: to a bunch of guys that are in that category,

173
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 5: and so we're gonna have to We're gonna have to

174
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 5: leave a little bit of space, but we're not gonna

175
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: leave too much space because there's really talented players that

176
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 5: actually sit us and fit together now. And so that's

177
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 5: gonna probably our evaluation that is gonna change every day,

178
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 5: like our valuation and everything, because as you put pieces together,

179
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 5: it changes the.

180
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: Picture you you you've been.

181
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 6: That, Matt, how about how about that?

182
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 5: For like a two minute answer, They didn't really say anything.

183
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 6: But that's actually that's actually really the truth.

184
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: No, no, I believe that. I mean, you guys, I

185
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: was I'm fascinating to here you have twenty nine When

186
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: you say you have a big board, is it like

187
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: I see we had the NFL Draft this weekend. I mean,

188
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: do you kind of have okay, tier A, Tier B, TIERC.

189
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 2: I mean you don't have to. Does that kind of

190
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: how you look at it or is it just sort

191
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: of hodgepodge?

192
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 6: Well, so we got two days.

193
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 5: What we have a right now in my omics, I

194
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 5: have a giant whiteboard that we rolled in here. Unfortunately,

195
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: one of the wheels on the right on the whiteboard is.

196
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 6: Broken, and that's driving me crazy.

197
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 5: Like my new EA, Megan Summers like she's elite level,

198
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 5: but if she can't get this wheel face, we're gonna

199
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 5: have a problem.

200
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 6: We can't we can't roll the thing around.

201
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: Man, Yes, like we got I'm trying.

202
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 5: So but we have another big board and we're making

203
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 5: I have a huge push to go digital as digital

204
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 5: as we can. And so we also have several series

205
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 5: of of Google Docs. Please please uh BBN, don't try

206
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 5: and break the code on our on our you know,

207
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 5: privately shared Google docs. We need to keep some of

208
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 5: this in house. I probably shouldn't even mention that there's

209
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 5: gonna be some.

210
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, you shouldn't do that. It's just like coaching

211
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 2: bro screwed up and put your plane tail the other day.

212
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: You gotta be careful about that stuff.

213
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 6: So we gotta you know, we'll figure all that out.

214
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 5: But so but it is, and it's actually you know,

215
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 5: we have you know, five different colors and and several

216
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: different markings, uh, you know, and it looks more like

217
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 5: a cloud than it does a roster charge in terms

218
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 5: of what we're doing on board. But it's just because

219
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 5: this is a very artistic, organic process.

220
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 6: That's the way. That's the way we operate.

221
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 5: Like, I think teams are a beautiful thing, man, because

222
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: they're living and they're dynamic, and they they kind of

223
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 5: it's it's it's it's.

224
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 6: Like a living organism. And so.

225
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 5: If you walked in and you sat with us and

226
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 5: heard us talk to you and feel like, wow, this

227
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 5: seat seems really messy, but as you get through the mess, man,

228
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 5: something really beautiful comes out of it.

229
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: All right, let me go through some kind of quicker questions.

230
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: I get asked a lot you're scheduling. You mentioned you'd

231
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: like to play Saint John's. Rick Patino then said, yes,

232
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: are we playing Saint John's next year?

233
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we're actually having a scheduling meeting tomorrow. In fact,

234
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 5: if you guys want to, you know, we can bring

235
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 5: you in live.

236
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: We'll just do the whole low. Okay, Okay, I think

237
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 2: people would enjoy that.

238
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 5: No, So Coach Fox's Coach foxes where right now we're

00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 5: in treas mode, which is just.

240
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 6: So guys, you know, I love the idea of startup companies.

241
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 6: I actually love it. I love the of like being in.

242
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 5: The infant stage of building because you never get to sleep.

243
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 5: There's there's nine billion things on the list and you

244
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 5: only get to like three of them.

245
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 6: And so we're in.

246
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 5: Treeas right now about like our prioritis of this staff

247
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: and this roster, and so a lot of super important

248
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 5: things have been pushed to like three and four, and

249
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 5: those two things are so critical and cruse right now

250
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 5: that the other stuff is just gonna have to wait.

251
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 6: Even though it deserves attention right now.

252
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 5: It's just we got to keep focused on the most

253
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 5: important things being the most important thing. So we're gonna

254
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 5: have our first real scheduling meeting tomorrow. I don't know

255
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 5: if we'll make con decisions. I've actually talked to Coach

256
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 5: p and he trust me. He knows his business better anybody.

257
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 5: He has a good idea of like what we're going

258
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 5: through right now, and so I think that would be

259
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 5: super fun for Big Blue Nations. I think it'd be

260
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 5: really fun for Saint John's. It would be really incredibly

261
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 5: special to me and and and so that's something we're

262
00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 5: gonna work on.

263
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 6: But we'll make progress.

264
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 5: You know, this roster staff first, we'll get the scheduling

265
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 5: here in the in the coming weeks.

266
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: Let me ask you about when in terms of in

267
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: the future. You know, we Kentucky over the last few

268
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: years gotten a ton of of of highlycounted freshmen starting.

269
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: I know this year that's tougher because where you're coming in,

270
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 2: But is your plan on the next few years? Are

271
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: you going after the top tier freshman? I mean, I

272
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: know you want guys that fit your system, but do

273
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: you still plan on going after those elite top ten

274
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: to fifteen kind of guys?

275
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 6: This is this is the University of Kentucky, right.

276
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 5: That is a massively important component of building.

277
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 6: Uh, I mean, come on, Kentucky is Kentucky of being

278
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 6: not building but being.

279
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 5: What Kentucky is is having the most talented players in

280
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 5: the world, the most talented high school players in the

281
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 5: world come be a part of this. So that will

282
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 5: always be a very important staple. It was important for

283
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 5: Jobe Hall, it was for Rick Patino, it was important

284
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 5: for for you know is every coach to come through

285
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 5: it clear it was really important for cal Cal Actually,

286
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 5: you know, Cal redefined the process of being to do

287
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 5: that in his incredible constribution to the University of Kentucky.

288
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 6: And so that's a that's a huge part of what

289
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 6: we'll do.

290
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 5: And the portal is also, you know, we're we're also

291
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 5: in a brand new era. Guys, like the portal and

292
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 5: n i L rules are different this.

293
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 6: Year than they were last year.

294
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: It is a.

295
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 5: Brand new era and so so you know, we're really

296
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 5: fortunate to be at the University of Kentuck.

297
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 6: I'll never get tired of saying that, gentlemen at the

298
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 6: University of Kentucky.

299
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 5: As this new era comes also, and that adds a

300
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 5: whole new dimension to to this. This this incredible stew

301
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 5: that you that you did, you contact of putting together

302
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 5: a great roster, and so that's gonna be a huge piece.

303
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: Also, do you let's talk in i L. Obviously that's

304
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: a huge thing now maybe one of the biggest things

305
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: in getting players. Do you feel like Kentucky as of

306
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: today is in a place to be able to compete

307
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: with every program in the country From an Nile perspective, The.

308
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 6: Short answer is yes.

309
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 5: The longer answer is is we are growing, and we

310
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: need to grow desperately fast. Nile is a massive and

311
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 5: massively important part of the landscape of college athletics, and

312
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 5: certainly at Kentucky basketball, it is. It is massively important.

313
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 5: It's going to be one of the factors. It's going

314
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: to be one of the foundational factors in whether we

315
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 5: can hang banners or not. That there's no two ways

316
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: about it, guys, There's no way to get around that.

317
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 5: And so it's wildly important. We are in a in

318
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 5: a solid spot right now. We know that we need

319
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 5: to grow and grow really fast. The beautiful thing about

320
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 5: Kentucky is that we have some really really really significant

321
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 5: capable donors, uh that are that are making a big

322
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 5: difference in what we do. But what we have that

323
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 5: no one else in the country has is we have

324
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 5: big Blue nation, man and and and if we can

325
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 5: find the right ways to harness the ownership that this

326
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 5: state and big blue nation around the world has of

327
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 5: this team, uh, then we're going to be just fighting

328
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 5: and uh and that's my job. That's my job is

329
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 5: I have to you know, I have to galvanize this

330
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 5: entire fan base to jump behind.

331
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 6: This, and and and.

332
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 5: And it's it's not just ownership in in word or

333
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 5: or or idea, but it's actually ownership in terms of

334
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 5: participation also.

335
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 6: And that's how we're gonna roll.

336
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 7: Man.

337
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 6: That's why this place is special. That's why it makes

338
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 6: us different than everyone else.

339
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: Well, let me help you with that. There's the you

00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 5: That line, I'm actually I'm actually my assistant gravitics right here.

Speaker 6: No, No, we're gonna be. We'll be. We'll be absolutely fine.

352
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 6: We can have this right now.

353
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 5: This is actually what we're talking about right now.

354
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 6: Hey, what we're talking about right now is probably the

355
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 6: most important thing. Okay, listen, Club Blue is real, Like

356
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 6: this Club Blue is is this is the.

357
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 5: Focal point of our whole nil life right now. We

358
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: have some amazing people that are that are helping to

359
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 5: UH TO to run this. It is a there is

360
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 5: no overhead with this program. It is one hundred percent

361
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 5: of the money goes exactly where we wanted to go.

362
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 5: And so we're holding our first UH kind of meet

363
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 5: the team event. It's gonna be June fifteenth. There will

364
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 5: be details. We're hoping that we're gonna almost have a

365
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 5: completed roster by then. We should be done, if not completed,

366
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 5: and it'll be our first kind of opportunity to spend

367
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 5: time with the team. And so we're making a push

368
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 5: right now for as many people in Big Blue Nation

369
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 5: that can join Club Blue. You will make a very

370
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 5: tangible direct impact on this program. And so the event's

371
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,520

Speaker 6: Going to be invited.

374
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 5: I'm hoping that Ruff is too small actually to hold

375
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 5: this group of people. I hoping we have to move

376
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 5: into the football stadium. That would be my goal, or

377
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 5: or maybe team then maybe we do it on the fairgrounds.

378
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,000

Speaker 5: I hope everybody jumps on, let's do this together.

392
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't remember ever them doing an event, Like

393
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 2: there was one event where they had the practice, but

394
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen a meet and greet

395
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: with the basketball program. So that will be June fifteenth.

396
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: Do you remember Mark in nineteen ninety seven you worked

397
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 2: with w L e X. You obviously mentioned Cutler at

398
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: the press conference. Do you remember Ryan Lemon, who's sitting

399
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: here next to me.

400
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 5: Come about Ryan is a legend?

401
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 6: Are you? Like? Guys, what are we talking about? So

402
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 6: I'm just hoping.

403
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 5: I'm just hoping that Ryan has forgot some of this

404
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 5: totally stupid stuff did on that truth?

405
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: No, I haven't.

406
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 6: You have not forgotten?

407
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, not at all.

408
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 6: Ryan.

409
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: Unfortunately for me, like like every good reporter, I have

410
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 3: a follow up question.

411
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: Go for it. Okay.

412
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 3: My first question, Mark, it's kind of the serious question.

413
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: I just got to know one thing. Can you tell

414
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 3: me who's in the house tonight?

415
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 6: UK? There we go.

416
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 3: My second question, Well, I've said for twenty eight years,

417
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 3: my most favorite moment covering the Cats has nothing to

418
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 3: do with that, but on the court, it's when that

419
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 3: bus rolled into Rupperena in ninety six and a lot

420
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: of memories and a lot of talk, and since you

421
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 3: got the job's been pointing back to that era. Can

422
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: you just talk about that special moment and what has

423
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 3: your ninety six group chat been like since you got

424
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 3: the job?

425
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 6: Yep, So.

426
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 5: It's uh, yeah, guys, I mean listen, there's those nont

427
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 5: works and the fact that we got to run it

428
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 5: back with it, I think even a bigger you know,

429
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 5: I think there were more people actually seen it on

430
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 5: the court than there were when it came back and

431
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 5: and ninety six there's just no words. It's just you know,

432
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 5: I've said this a lot since then about the press

433
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 5: conference about driving back in into the building twenty eight

434
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 5: years later, that that that deal at Rupp had.

435
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 6: Really nothing to do with me.

436
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 5: That had to do with Big Blue Nation coming in

437
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 5: that building and look at each other and putting putting

438
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 5: arms around each other and sharing love with each other,

439
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 5: saying we're still here, man, and this is real. And

440
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 5: and that again is like that is you know, people

441
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 5: are going to try and recreate that, People going to

442
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 5: try and mimic that, but that that just is that's

443
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 5: unique to that's unique to Kentucky. And and so I

444
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 5: feel all the you know, I feel all of.

445
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: The beauty of that.

446
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 5: And the fact that I got to be a part

447
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 5: of that and share that with everybody in BBM was

448
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 5: super cool.

449
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: That was a special day, by the way, just a

450
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. I hope, I mean, I hope

451
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,960

500
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: the show. Just at I thought he did great. He

501
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 3: was awesome and the sort of behind the scenes. I

502
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 3: love that he said there's twenty nine names. That means

503
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 3: there are twenty nine names, like, you don't just come

504
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: up with the number twenty nine, right.

505
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 2: I love that he said he would let us do

506
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: a broadcast from the room. He won't, But I like

507
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: that he like that he noted that, and I just

508
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: he seems like such a genuine dude.

509
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 8: He does have lots of fun. I like what interviews

510
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 8: don't feel like scripted answers. I mean, he's off the cup,

511
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 8: answered questions, and we gotta fix that damn wheel on

512

Speaker 2: The Lexington win the Louisville one will go in sale.

Speaker 2: are in August. Normally the Lexington win's early, but I'm

527
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: leaving so that so they will all be in August.

528
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: The Lexington one will tell you more about, but it'll

529
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 2: go on sale on Wednesday. Back to the Pope thing

530
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 2: for a minute. I do love how eager excited he is.

531
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see you know, it's interesting. He said,

532
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 2: their head is down and they're kind of focused on

533
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: staff and players, and I think, you know, that's what

534
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: they need to do. Having a scheduling meeting tomorrow, I do.

535
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot that they've had to get

536
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 2: done so far.

537
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been going one hundred and thirty miles an

538
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: hour since he got the job. Yet you could still

539
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: hear the excitement in his voice. You know, he is

540
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 3: excited about what this program not just means to him,

541
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: but what he's building now. I think that's what's cool about.

542
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 8: It of the basketball things, beyond just the personality excitement.

543
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 8: I love hearing about the names on the board and

544
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 8: then the part about leaving room for guys testing the waters.

545
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 8: He said, we're still talking to a lot of them,

546
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 8: So I mean there's names that I probably haven't even

547
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 8: been speculated around BBN that he's saying, or still out

548
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 8: there in the NBA process that might come back. And

549
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 8: those people have to be in the portal by May first.

550
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: So by May first, you'll know everyone that can potentially transfer.

551
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: That's something different this year. It used to be that

552
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: some of those guys could wait and wait and wait. Yeah,

553
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: Now May first, Wednesday, Wednesday. If you're not in, you're not,

554
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: so you're gonna see some names I think go in

555
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 2: there of guys who maybe you even assumed were going

556
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: to the draft, who were just leaving that option open

557
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 2: for that. So May first a huge day.

558
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 8: And if anyone out there is still panicking because so

559
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 8: and so committed here and so and so went there,

560
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 8: and the options are getting small.

561
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 9: Twenty nine people, he said.

562
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 2: We don't have to know everybody, and we clearly don't

563
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 2: know everybody. If there's half nine people, there's probably been

564
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: of the guys that are left, there's probably seven or

565
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 2: eight that have been connected to Kentucky. So just so

566
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 2: you know, that means about twenty people are on their

567
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: board that you haven't even you haven't even heard connected

568
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: to UK. Yeah.

569
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 3: So I love the phone call there in the middle

570
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 3: and you're like, hey.

571
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 2: If you need to answer that, dude, Well no, I

572
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: mean if that was that was you know what he

573
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: said to his assistant, get that and tell him I'll

574
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,239
Speaker 2: call him right back. That does mean that was an

575
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: important call through, and I just wanted him to know

576
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: he could take it if he needed to.

577
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

578
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,239
Speaker 8: I mean, we liked that he's on the show, but

579
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 8: we like that he's getting players more so the show

580
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 8: can wait.

581
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: If that needed to be a commitment, yeah, Shannon, I

582
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: would we want to put him on hold if recruit

583
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: because of us, but getting it done. What was your

584
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: take on the whole thing, Shannon, you're a harsh critic.

585
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 4: No, I thought he was great. I think he answered

586
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: everything perfectly. You can tell the excitement that he has

587
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 4: in his voice. I also love that he said he

588
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 4: had that digital layout of the players that they're targeting

589
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 4: and ask Big Blue Nation not to try to hack

590
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 4: into that. Probably shouldn't have said that, because you know

591
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 4: our fans now will.

592
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: So I didn't know what he meant by that when

593
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: he said there was a Google what was he talking

594
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 2: about with the players.

595
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 8: It's a Google doc, a doc is short for documents,

596
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 8: he said, a word different than doc. Uh kids called

597
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 8: docs these days on the internet. But uh, you know

598
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 8: a spreadsheet that's being passed around.

599
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I can shut up. Who's up next.

600
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: Let's gonna keep you all hip, Thomas.

601
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 2: Thomas, go ahead, Thomas.

602
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 7: Hey there, Matt. I'm super excited about Mark Pope and

603
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 7: hearing him talk.

604
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 2: That was awesome.

605
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 7: But I do have and I'm not even worried about

606
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 7: the roster, but I do have one. I don't know, hiccup.

607
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 7: Hold up. I'm kind of worried about the soul of

608
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 7: our state just because of all like the Mormon talk.

609
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 7: And I say Mormon because LDS is like a concentrated

610
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 7: PR campaign rebrand for them to attract Christians and.

611
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: The like, stop stop stop. I appreciate it, Matt, they

612
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: have Mat. I appreciate the call. Let's who's up next?

Speaker 11: Yeah, I just wanted to make a quick comment and

622
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 11: I got one question for you, Matt. I love the

623
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 11: way the team looks so far. I'm gonna start it

624
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 11: for next year. My question is me and my wife

625
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 11: came down to the bar and we entered in on

626
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 11: the Master's tournament. I was wanting to know if there's

627
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 11: an update about the winners.

628
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 9: I'm weird.

629
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: We have our new coach on and these are the

630
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: first two comments we get. The winners will be sent

631
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 2: out there. We're thirty eight of you, so it's taking

632
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: a little bit longer because Scottie Scheffler won, but you

633
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 2: will get it. I promise Monique's actually working on that

634
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: this week. But thank you.

635
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 11: Okay, sorry, all.

636
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: Right, there you go. That's this is good. Two really good.

637
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: I mean, we just have our new coach on and

638
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: those are gonna be the first two calls. A five, nine,

639
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. We have a couple

640
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: of open lines. Let's talk real quickly. UK football. UK

641
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: football got a massive commitment this week.

642
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah they did.

643
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: DJ Waller, a cornerback from Michigan, former four star was

644
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: from Youngstown, Ohio, played at Michigan, had a chance to

645
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 2: start at Mission this year, decided to come here. He

646
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: is transferring. He will be I think you can plug

647
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: him in as a starter moment one. Ryan, this was

648
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: a huge git at a position of neat.

649
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, dude played in every game

650
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 3: last year for the team that I believe won the

651
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: national championships. So this is a player that's coming in

652
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: and a starter for sure.

653
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 9: Huge git.

654
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 8: I might have even had eyeballs on him Saturday night,

655
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 8: having a nice dinner and celebrating having fun UK football

656
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 8: locking one down. I know Vince was thrilled to get him,

657
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 8: just hey, because he's such a good player. And it's

658
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 8: another Youngstown connection too. I know they like keeping those,

659
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 8: but that's a huge git. Especially after losing England to

660
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 8: the Portal. That upset a few people.

661
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's that is they needed that position,

662
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: especially after losing the kid. The England kid ended up

663
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: going to pitt just like Devonshire did a year ago.

664
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: But now they have him. The running back Penny Boone

665
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: that we talked about is yet another kid who it

666
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: sounds like maybe the whole transcript issue is coming into

667
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: He was a transfer from Toledo. He went, He's been

668
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: to three different schools. He was at Louisville only this semester.

669
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: But the transferring of all that is making it to

670
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: where his credits I think are having trouble matching up

671
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: with the UK admission standards, and this continues to be

672
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: an issue that people don't think about. It's not that

673
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: they don't have grades. I want to be clear when

674
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: this is not people having grades or not. It's that,

675
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: like the admission standards are different. So for instance, if

676
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: you are majoring in a county, at some schools you

677
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: can take fifteen electives, at some schools you can only

678
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: take can take six, and the school admissions differences. I

679
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: think it's hurt us with the point guard from Utah

680
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: and is now hurting us with the running back from Toledo.

681
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: By the way, we're not the only school dealing with this.

682
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: Other schools are dealing with this too. And it's not

683
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: that UK admission standards are quote un quote harder. It's

684
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: just that they're different and because they're different, it's not

685
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: matching up and I it's gonna be unfortunate. It might

686
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: cost us two very quality players.

687
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: And that's something I think a lot of people me included,

688
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 3: didn't see coming that when the transfer portal the credits

689
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: and things they have to transfer you to be able

690
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: to be eligible.

691
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 2: Now this is happening though all over the country. Yeah,

692
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: there's people posting about it in football and basketball. This

693
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: is happening all over the country. Colleges just have different

694
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: The big one apparently is how many courses you have

695
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: to have for your majors. You know at some school

696
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: and some schools like grading is different. It's just a

697
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: completely different situation.

698
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 8: And this is hitting the guys that are just bouncing

699
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 8: around a lot. I mean, Penny Boon's looking for a

700
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 8: fourth school in four years. You went Maryland, Toledo, a

701
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 8: spring semester at Louisville, and now he's trying to get

702
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 8: to the fourth school. And some of these guys are learning.

703
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 8: It's you can't just bounce around like that. Eventually it

704
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 8: catches up to you. I mean, I can speak for

705
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 8: first hand experience. Madisonville Community College to UK. I had

706
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 8: a few I thought transfer and didn't had to retake

707
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 8: him up here. Exact same situation as him. You understand what.

708
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: He's going You're exactly right.

709
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 9: It's almost exactly walk him through it if he wants it.

710
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 2: Really is almost exactly the same. All right, who's next, ship, John? John?

711
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 12: Go ahead, John, Hey, guys, Yeah, it's a breath of

712
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 12: fresh air to hear Mark Polp talking like he's running

713
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 12: a business and uh and when you ask him.

714
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 10: A question, he answers the question and elaborates on it

715
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 10: and talks basketball and it's just a breath of fresh air.

716
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 10: I got a renewed excitement. I'm so excited about what

717
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 10: he's got of going. If he picks up two of

718
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 10: these three guys he's really looking at right now, we're

719
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 10: gonna be set on the.

720
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: On that point. To me, this is the this is

721
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 2: the path to a really good team next year. Great awesome.

722
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: First of all, Jackson Robinson, to me, is the most important.

723
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: You gotta have a dude. I think he's a dude.

724
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: They gotta find a point guard. It could be the

725
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 2: Mahini kid that was here this weekend. I'm not sure

726
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen. We'll see or someone else, and then

727
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: a wild card good player might be great ossib or

728
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: A lot of people think it will be Maybe it's

729
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: somebody else. And then I think you can fill in

730
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: with a couple of dudes who can shoot. I actually

731
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of dudes out there that can shoot.

732
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: Kobe Braya would be the best, but there's a lot

733
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: of people that can shoot. Go get those, and then

734
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: I think you have a team, sir, that can be

735
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: really really good.

736
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 10: What about Have you heard any scuttle butt on the

737
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 10: kid that transferred to South Carol or committed to South

738
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 10: Carolina but Calibery wasn't recruiting me trail Row.

739
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have not heard anything about him. I appreciate

740
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 2: the call that. First of all, he signed a letter

741
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: of intent, so that's another thing. I have not heard

742
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 2: him connected to the UK. I think he I know

743
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: everybody in Harlan tells me he would come if UK

744
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 2: was interesting, but I have not heard Drew whether whether

745
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: they are or not.

746
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 9: I've been earlier.

747
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 8: I was staying up on top of that one quite

748
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 8: a bit once Pope got here, because I wanted it

749
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 8: to happen. I think maybe even Noah would have been

750
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 8: interested if Pope made that call. I just don't know

751
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 8: that it ever got to that point.

752

00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 2: that's a Mormon, We're gonna have players that are Mormons.

784
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: It's time. I know ninety eight percent of our fans

785
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: will do this, but for the other two percent, show

786
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 2: some respect.

787
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 6: Right.

788
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: Part of religious freedom and part of being in America

789
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: is that everyone gets to have their religious beliefs, but

790
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 2: also have some like decency and just respect people who

791
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: disagree with you. Mark Pope did not come on here

792
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: and you know proselytize, and neither is anybody else, But

793
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 2: we also owe it to him, and honestly, all the

794
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: people who live in the state of Kentucky in religions

795
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 2: that are not of the majority, to show them respect.

796
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 2: How somebody else shows their faith should have no bearing

797
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 2: on how you show yours. And just like you would

798
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: hope that people will show Christians respect, you should do

799
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 2: the same to other folks and more. And you know,

800
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with all the specifics of Mormonism, but

801
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 2: that stuff is unnecessary and wouldn't be tolerated about anybody else,

802
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,959
Speaker 2: and we shouldn't tolerate it about the Mormon faith either,

803
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: So I just wanted to say that. I didn't want

804
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: to just ignore when the guy called and said that. Secondly,

805
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: on a different note, the UK football team had four

806
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 2: guys get drafted, three of them very early, so you

807
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: had Drew Phillips going the third round to the Giants.

808
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: He and Juan Dell, who used to be buddies that

809
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 2: train together, get reunited in New York. So that's very cool.

810
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 2: Did you like that?

811
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 8: I did, And I love Drew Phillips. The emotion when

812
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 8: he got picked. I don't know if you all say

813
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 8: all that big old tiars happy tears coming down his face,

814
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 8: and asked him how excited he was and who he

815
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 8: wanted to guard this and that he actually said I'm

816
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 8: most excited to go against Wan Dell.

817
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 9: So I love that connection.

818
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: The Giants made a big deal about them being college teammates, etc.

819
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: Trevin Wallace goes to the Panthers, where most reports I

820
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: read said they think he'll play right away.

821
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: A lot he impressed people, I think with his offseason

822
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 3: workouts and the NFL combines and things, So yeah, I

823
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 3: think he's got a chance to play.

824
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 9: He's gonna play for that owner, though, I mean go

825
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 9: in and he.

826
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 2: Walks in, and he should walk in and take the

827
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 2: owner's hat off as soon as he walks in. Ray

828
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: Davis going to the Bills, I thought the emotion of

829
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: when he was picked. They showed him in his house

830
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: and he was crying. His story is amazing and he

831
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 2: gets to immediately be on a team that's a contender.

832
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll be seeing Ray Davis on TV a lot.

833
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: He'll probably be the backup running back for a Bills

834
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: team that will be going trying to go and win

835
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl.

836
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 8: So happy where he landed. I just wish we had

837
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 8: more than one year with that guy. He was a

838
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 8: lot of fun, great personality and an outstanding football player.

839
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 8: We'll remember that Florida game forever and now we'll be

840
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 8: seeing him on Sundays.

841
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 2: And then Devin Leary picked by the Baltimore Ravens. I

842
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 2: was reading some of the Baltimore stuff. They expect him

843
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 2: to make the team and be the third string quarterback

844
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 2: in his first year. I think a lot of Kentucky

845
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 2: fans are probably surprised. But in the workouts he was

846
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 2: kind of ranked as the tenth best quarterback the whole time.

847
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 2: Who would have first time in the history of the

848
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 2: NFL than in the Louisville and Kentucky quarterback are on

849
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: the same tea.

850
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 3: Is it really this kind of cool? He gets learned

851
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 3: from Lamar now and work.

852
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: You know, we're very different they are. If Leary has

853
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: to come in, it ain't gonna be the same offense

854
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 2: that Lamar runs. I don't think Ryan no.

855
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 3: I was happy for Devin Leary. I think we got

856
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 3: cheated a little bit the last season. I don't know

857
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 3: if he was completely healthy most of the season, but

858
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: I think he's a much better quarterback than what we saw.

859
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 8: I hate the Baltimore Ravens, but it was a cool

860
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 8: connection there. T Martin is the quarterbacks coach, and when

861
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 8: they picked him, it was too who called him, and

862
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 8: I guess the owner whoever spoke first said T had

863
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 8: you circled as one of his sleepers in the drafts.

864
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 8: We're glad you got your nice even though T Martin's vall,

865
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 8: we had him for a little bit here, so.

866
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 2: I hope it works out for him. I think a

867
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: combination of him being a little banged up and then

868
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: I just don't know that he and Liam ever completely

869
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: got on the same page on the system. Hopefully that

870
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: he'll find his rhythm at the next level. Who's up next, ship, Blake, Blake,

871
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 2: what's up, Blake?

872
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, I'm super excited to hear Coach Pope talk.

873
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 13: He is, uh, you know, he's rejuvenating the soul of

874
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 13: Big Blue Nation.

875
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 2: Right, He's he's energized.

876
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 13: He's got a lot of hope, he's got a lot

877
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 13: of faith, he's got a lot of energy and hunger

878
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 13: for the like for doing the job.

879
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 2: So it's it's fun to.

880
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 13: See and you know, we can all get together a's

881
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 13: Big Blue Nation and be part of Mark Pope's Caturday Saints,

882
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 13: you know, not the Latter Day Saints. But I've got

883
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 13: one question about possible staff. So is there any scuttle

884
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 13: butt or anything about Rajon Rondo? Since he's at the school,

885
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 13: he's got a graduate.

886
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 2: That could happen. I mean, that could happen. I haven't

887
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: heard that. I have not heard that, But I do

888
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 2: know when they were hired that their goal was to

889
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 2: try to have somebody that was involved in the col

890
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 2: Era as part of the team. I do not think,

891
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 2: I mean, Rondo was not part of the cal Era,

892
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 2: but he kinda like cal almost adopted him as part

893
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 2: of the cal Era. So maybe that's maybe that who

894
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 2: is is who it ends up being. I appreciate the

895
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 2: call we did. One piece of news we didn't make

896
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 2: is he basically said the fifth member of the staff

897
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: it may take a while before he does them because

898
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 2: he wants to see how things fit. That's interesting, Like,

899
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: so we may that pot, that spot may not may

900
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 2: stay open.

901
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 6: For a while.

902
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 8: I thought that was interesting about the last coach and

903
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 8: even the roster. He said, now that we have so

904
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 8: many bodies, we're going to take a pause and figure

905
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 8: out kind of what we need and what fits. We

906
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 8: said when we got to want to but uh, it's

907
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 8: not just we're gonna pile up whatever we can get.

908
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 8: We're gonna make sure all the pieces fit together.

909
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: That is interesting. He did say when they got to

910
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 2: like ten or eleven, he would take a pause. So

911
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 2: that's probably where we're targeting. Uh here in the next

912
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: few weeks. Who's next, Alex, Alex, go ahead.

913
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 14: Alex, Hey, Matt, just a couple of questions. So, with

914
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 14: the recruise that we currently have twenty four to seven sports,

915
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 14: has our transfer class rank is eight overall with a

916
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 14: thirty two overall class rank. Where do you think we

917
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 14: will land with the remaining targets that we have.

918
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,959
Speaker 2: Do you get Osibor and you get Jackson Robinson will

919
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 2: either be we'll be in the top three in the

920
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,479
Speaker 2: transfer rankings and I do and I think if that's

921
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: your your your team, you'll be top twenty five preseason.

922
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 14: And then do you have any predictions of what you

923
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 14: think our starting lineup will.

924
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 2: Be this fall? Yeah? I need to wait and see

925
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: who we get. I mean, I I appreciate the call.

926
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 2: I mean, Jackson Robinson will start, Osibor will start. Beyond that,

927
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: let's see who we get. I think Carr had some

928
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 2: huge numbers. Carl start.

929
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 8: I think that's a guy that's probably in his brain

930
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 8: he's starting.

931
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see. I mean, I don't know though, because

932
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what what will matter to Mark. But

933
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: this will be a this will be a year where

934
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 2: like ten guys will play.

935
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you say, yeah, those two guards we just got

936
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: the they're kind of similar in style, So I think.

937
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean ten guys will play. Yeah, yeah, so
