I'm Matt Jones here on Wingsday at Ksbar Dollar Wings
All Day. We are here at the Vahalla Golf Course
where the PGA Championship will take place next week. And
you can give shown the Clark's Puppy Shop phone line
eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
(00:58):
A Vision Auto Glass text machine is seven seven two
four five two five four in this distion sponsored by
the TJ.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Smith Office. If you call TJ He'll make them.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Pay we are in the new the merchandise tent, and
I would say by tent, I mean massive facility here
at Valhalla for the PGA where on Friday, beginning Friday
morning at nine, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you can come
out here from nine to six and shop for Valhalla
(01:27):
PGA Championship merchandise before it goes on sale to the
general public. So you can come and get what you
would like before the masses come out here.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
For the tournament, you go to Highview Baptist Church, which
is across the street. You park, they'll bring you over
on a little bus and you can come into this facility.
And I'll just first by start by saying, Ryan, can
you believe this place like this is like as somebody said,
this is like a Dick's Sporting Goods, but it's temporary
(01:58):
for one week for a golf tournament.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's amazing because they brought us all through the back
loading dock and you come through the loading dock, all
of a sudden you come in this facility. You're like, Nah,
it's massive. This is like a massive golf store. Like
you said, Dix is a good comparison.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I mean no, it's that big. It's as big as
like a Dick's Sporting Goods. It's all like shirts and
hats and all the various things golfers wear. I'm gonna
make a prediction that Drew spends fifteen to two thousand.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
I'm in trouble. I like a good golf merchandise store.
I've never had early access to one. Usually I'm at
the tournament fighting crowds carrying it around.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
But this early access.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
I don't know if they have shopping carts, but I'm
gonna need one when the show's over.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, so we get to shop when it's over. We're
gonna be like the first people to shop here, so
you get your selection before they sell out of your sizes.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
And it's all here.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
But but for those of you that are listening, if
you come Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you will actually beat
the average fan here for all the stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
And they have like Nike, what is it, Peter Mallar.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Lulu, Ryan Lemon, Cutter, and Buck which isn't that the
show that comes on after this.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
With your go to brand, run big shopper. I'm Peter Malarga.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm a Lululemon, you know I support the family brand.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Do you spend that kind of money on clothes? I mean,
Lululemon's expensive, It's very expensive. You know.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I like spending, you know, a couple hundred dollars for
a pair of shorts.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
So the answer is, no, you don't do that. I
see you wore a polo shirt so you could fit
in at the golf course.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I felt like, you know, I needed to at least
look the part of someone of them.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I did not wear a hoodie, and I kind of
wish I did because I thought that too on the
right over. Out of all the times, I was like,
wear a hoodie to the golf course. And now it's
dad is a little cold out here. I bet they've
got some here. You could probably one. Yeah, No, they
have hoodies here. I've already I've alreadyound the one I'm getting. Okay, yeah,
so uh so, anyway, we're out here. Thank you to
(03:56):
the PGA for having us. We'll be doing our show
here at the PGA on Thursday and Friday of next week.
And it's nice. It's nice of them to host. It's
also neat to see a major golf tournament at a
course that that I've played and that like you can
kind of go.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Oh. When I was on this hole, i hit it
out of bouts.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
I was telling our shuttle just how it feels so real,
Like the scoreboards are going up, the video board, the
stands are one thing, but all the other stuff starts
coming in.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
It's right here.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Yeah, it's weird to see all that.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
You know, they got to you got all the scoreboards
and all that, and and Shannon, they have all the
volunteers out here.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
They're the people you know who walk around and hold
the little things that say, you know, like Tiger too
under and those people.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
They all do it for free. Okay, so they all
agree for free to stand there and hold the little
sign that says quite please. And I was thinking I
would do that. Yeah, that's what I'm sure Drew would
do that. Oh Ryan, would you do that?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I might do it one day. I'm not going to
do it for four days.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
You don't think it would be fun to do that?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I think that might get a little shit, And I
feel like there's no way you would do right, not
for free.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Absolutely, Look, my time's worth money. You want me to
hold that sign, you better pay me something. I'm not
doing it for free.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
What if you got to shush people though all day
you get to tell people to shush.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, no, I don't even want to deal with those people,
so I wouldn't say you gotta pay me if I'm
gonna do that.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Not doing it.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Get a free shirt, those Shining shirt a.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Ton of free shirts. It's true.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
We get a free shirt all the time. So it's
perfect for you because you would get a free shirt.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
See, they could be a free shirt, different one every day.
I might volunteer for all four days.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
So Mario is here. He's going to take a video
of this of this uh you know this place. Yeah, Mario,
we are on the air. That's correct. He's gonna take
a video and walk around so you'll be able to
see what it looks like in all the various options.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
So we had our first road trip with Mario today.
It was a big deal.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
So I heard he got in your car and your
car your back seat is full of dog hair covered
in dog hair.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yes, I picked up yoga girls dog yesterday from doggy daycare,
had it in the back seat and forgot. So then
these guys get in this morning, their dog care everywhere.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
That's kind of gross, right, I agree, So why didn't you?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Why didn't you? Why didn't you clean it up?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I didn't think about it. I honestly did not think
about it until we opened the door to get ready
to get in, like, oh, I got a lot of dogs.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
This is the first time he's been on the road
with you. Did he enjoy it? You know?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
We did the standard road trip stuff, go through McDonald's
drive through, but he didn't order anything.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
He's gonna learn. Man, he's healthy. He's a lot healthier
than we are. Well, there's a lot of stuff to
get to today. We will Uh, we're out here. If
you happened, well, I guess you can't come in here.
I was gonna say you could come say hello, but
you can't. But let's start with I think the big
news from yesterday continues to be roster news. Trent Noah
(06:49):
of Harlan County has agreed or is entering the well
because it's not the transfer portal. He got South Carolina
to allow him out of his national letter of intent
and now he will consider going to other schools. This
(07:09):
is something I kind of heard could happen last week
that he was considering it. What was interesting is because
he had signed. It's unlike the transfer portal. Because he
had signed a national letter of intent, schools could not
contact him, so he had to almost fly blind to
decide whether or not to do this. Now, I'm told
that there will be three schools that are the primary
(07:31):
recruiters for him, Kentucky, Louisville, and Tennessee, basically all the
three schools around there. I suspect Kentucky is the heavy favorite,
but I will say I think Tennessee and Louisville have
much more of a chance than folks think.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I still think he's gonna go to Kentucky, don't get
me wrong.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
And I think if you're gonna bet, you're gonna bet
on him being a cat. But Louisville and Tennessee have
been you know, they're really interested. But first of all,
what about the news that he's out of the South
Carolina thing.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The way they worded it to pursue interest closer to home.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Well, those three are all closer to home.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
All three closer to home, So you knew it was
probably gonna be that was gonna be the case, but
it would just be a perfect adding to this storybook. Ending.
He went took Harlan to the championship game County Arley County, right,
Horny County, massive state tournament where he just was lighting
it up, one of the top scores in the history
of high school basketball. You pair him up with the
(08:29):
most prolific scorer in high school basketball Kentucky for four years.
It's just a storybook part to this.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
You know, I'm excited because we.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Went thirty you know, thirty five years without ever having
anyone from the thirteenth region on UK and now we're
going to get two and back to back seasons, which
is crazy. So the first question everybody always has drew
when they talk about from the state, is Kenny play Kentucky.
(08:59):
I had never seen him in person until the state tournament.
And I had had people in Harlem and say to me,
a lot of friends in Harlan, go, Matt, this kid's
good enough. And I one of these days I'm gonna learn.
I was like, yeah, okay, gotcha. But then when I
was at the state tournament, he is. Now he's you know,
(09:23):
he's gonna have to work like this is not reed Shepherd,
And I think people need to understand that Reid was
athletically ready moment one to play at Kentucky.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I'm not one.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Hundred percent sure that's true of this kid, but as
a scorer, he had what forty eight in a game
in the state tournament. At the game I saw him,
he had thirty seven or thirty eight and was awesome.
That semi final game against against UH was against evangel.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
That they beat. Yes, yes, he was unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
He got a little tired in the championship game a
little bit because you know, he played two games in
one day. But yes, I do think he can play
at Kentucky. I don't think you bring him in thinking
he's going to start right away, but he would be.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I really want to see him in Lexity. Me too.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
When this team's had one player on it, Travis Perry,
I kept saying, there's a name I'm watching that no
one is saying. And I still think there's a good
chance for this. It's been Trenton Noah since the moment
Pope got the job. I was hoping he would give
Pope Noah this opportunity. I've watched this kid because through
a friend, since he was a sophomore high school. Hearing
about I've never thought to Kentucky's level. They've at least
(10:26):
known that when he signed with South Carolina that might
be a goer running into and now I love the
potential of having a little East versus West, or not verse,
but east and West in your freshman class.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
If well, you have two of the five, the two
of the five biggest scores in Kentucky history are in
the class this year, and for them both to come
they played for the state championship, and then for the
two of them to both end up at Kentucky would
be an awesome story. And I think when you're looking
at filling out your roster, okay, because I think Pope,
(10:56):
unlike Cal's, gonna try to use all or nearly all
of his scholarships most years. When you're looking at filling
out the roster, when you're looking at continuity over time,
I think he makes a lot of sense as an addition,
And clearly, if I mean, if South Carolina had already
gotten him and Louisville and Tennessee want him, I think
(11:16):
the people are like, well, is he good enough to
play at UK? Yes, we've been brainwashed into this mindset.
And I was as guilty as anybody of it. Of
you have to be a top fifty recruiter. You can't
play here. Let's just take a dude like a due
theero a due the arrow was none of that. And
I think we all agreed he was a good piece
(11:37):
to have on the team. I think Trent, Noah, he's not.
He didn't play like a dude, but that there's no
reason he can't be like that, be that good.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, he's not the guy that maybe fit the way
cal Perry no, can't even talk to him. No, But
for Mark Pope, the way Pope likes to play, he's
a better fit. So that's why I think the things
that have changed a little bit. So we're all gonna
be very, very excited if this does happen, and I
hope it does.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Athletic, he might have a ways to go, but he's
a legit six six with some ball ball. I mean,
that's a big dude. He's much. It's gonna be natural.
Two kids from the thirteenth region, two white kids from
the mountains. They're gonna get compared to each other. Yes,
reed Is is much more.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Athletic, Yes he is. Noah's bigger though, yes he is.
I mean Noah is like, uh, you know, you're not
gonna be able to push him around. I mean he's
from Harlan, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I mean the difference between Red and Noah is a
little bit like the difference between London and Harlan.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Bro That's fair, you know, fair.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
London's mountains kinda kind of city, kind of reads.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Mountains, kinda Harlan's mountain mountain. And I think Noah is
gonna be like that. I think that's I think it's
a it'll be that's what you're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Like Drew said, he's six six, he's over two hundred pounds.
He's got some good meat on that frame. He can
get in there and bang with a little bit too.
I mean he can shoot, Yeah, Like he can really shoot.
I mean that's the other thing. You know he shot
what he shoot four one or forty two percent from three?
You know, he and he and one things it's amazing
about he and Travis Perry both is not only do
(13:08):
they put up huge points, they put up huge points
shooting a good percentage.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
They both shot over forty percent from three when they
were in high school.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Yeah, And I don't know what he'll do in year one,
probably be a while for he is really a significant contributor.
But if you wanted Kentucky kids and players that are
stay more than a year, I mean, I don't know
he can ask more for having a Travis Perry to
Trenton Noah in the same class.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Yeah, Hope's first freshman.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
And you get one kid from Druz region and one
kid from my rega. When you gonna step up?
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Where are you at?
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Right?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Ya?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
We had Derek Willis came from Shannon's region.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
When when are you going to? When are you gonna
produce somebody?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm hoping next year We've got Jasper Johnson and Malachi Marina.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
You don't get every hometown, and I want somebody from
odd Well.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
We're gonna be waiting on.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
The team at some point.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
You're waiting a long time on that one A nine
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. The text machine
is seven seven to two four five two five four. We
are here at the PGA Merchandise Tent at Valhalla. They've
very kind to put us here. We'll take a break
and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Quarterback. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
How about this to volunteer for the PGA Championship not
only do you not get paid, you actually have to
pay two hundred and sixty five dollars. Why because they
can't we have to buy your shirts.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And so they don't even give you your shirt.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Let's try yelling, all right.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
I don't what it costs about it.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
You can't take him anywhere. I'm telling you no, I
get it. First of all, it's gonna cost to take
this stuff. Plus you know you got to keep out.
You know, you gotta keep out the riffer. You gotta
get people who are serious about it. So you're gonna
get people like our friend Larry Wood who want to
be out there, to be around the golfers.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
So you ask why, it's because they can't.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
If you told me I got to sit on a
t box, I would pay as much money as you
wanted to be here to do that.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
If I'm going to watch the yeah, if you get
to think about it, you get to walk inside the ropes,
yes you do. So how much is your ticket? Like
normally your take? I don't know what your tickets are,
but your tickets are probably about that. You essentially get
four days full of tickets for free, and you get
to be there and all you got to do is
carry that thing around, Shannon.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
When you look at it like that, it's a deal.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, especially if you enjoy being out there, right, I
mean yeah exactly.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
So I didn't.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I didn't know it costs, but it actually makes sense
to me. Maybe you shouldn't be so hasty.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Waiting list for AUGUSTA is like fifty years. People get
approved when they're.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
They get approved before they die.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Yeah, you get a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So is this customary all these major golf courses volunteers
have to pay.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I'm sure for the majors.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I don't know about for the everyday tournaments, but I
would say for the majors. Cause again, if I told
you you'd have a shot to walk right next to Tiger,
you wouldn't want to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I don't know if I'd do it for two one
hundred and seventy five dollars.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
No way a minute. If I told you, give me
two hundred and seventy five dollars and you will get
to walk eighteen holes inside the ropes for me to
you with Tiger Woods to watch him play golf tournament.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
You're getting his score, you're keeping his score. And if
you get it wrong, he loses you. Ooh, that's a
lot of pressure.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
He's keeping it to multiple You wouldn't do.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It in that scenario? I definitely would.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Okay, so you do it for Tiger? Would you do
it for Rory?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
No? J post you wouldn't do it for I would
do it for JT posting just because of Fleener? Wait,
why wouldn't you do it for Uh? You know he
and I we don't have a good chemistry. Tiger and
I have got a good chemi.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Would you do it for Phil?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
That might be interesting.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
There's only one guy I would be willing to do
it for.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Who's that John Daly?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
He's my favorite.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Es He won this that's right, he won this one,
So he does do this one? That's right?
Speaker 4 (16:52):
This is one that he uh that he does? All right,
let me go back to basketball for a second, because
of one other thing we need to talk about. Okay,
Matt Norlander, who again, I keep saying this when it
comes to national guys talking about Kentucky basketball at least now.
This may change over time, but right now, if it
comes from Matt Noorlander or Jeff Goodman, I'm gonna listen
(17:14):
because I think they have a relationship with the guys
on this staff. Matt Norlander said on his podcast that
North Florida guard Chas Lanier, he thinks Kentucky leads for
that kid. Now, this is a kid that average nineteen
points a game, probably is one of the six or
eight people left in the portal.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
That's the best. Maybe even more than that, maybe four
to five of the best. And Kentucky if they get him,
I think they still want to get Jackson Robinson.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
But it gives you a little breathing room droof you
don't get him, Yeah, because I think this Kittles. He
could start watching his highlights. They're insane.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
And then I think it was an interview a parent,
someone will talking about how they want to go to
a school with more exposure to get into the NBA.
Entucky seems like a pretty good spot. I know, Jackson
Robinson's the name we've been thinking about all along as
he waits for his NBA decision. But if you got
a Jaslinier ready to go, I think maybe you look
at Jackson say which way you lean in because we
have one more ready to take.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Well, they wanted two more impact pieces. I think they
sort of. I think when I was kind of aware
of what they were going to do. I don't think
I think they thought Lanier was going to go to Tennessee.
But if they're able to convince him to go to Kentucky,
I mean Tennessee, was you know, wanting to bring him
in as a starter. I think he would come in
Ryan and almost certainly start right away.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
They would definitely load up the back court that with
the four guys they've already gotten. He added him to
the as a piece. That's a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
And he's a scorer, which is I still think they're
missing a scorer. This is a score.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I love that he's a score and I'm really just
impressed with the pieces. I know you still want someone
that's more of a premier name, but they have a
lot of depth for these practices. These guys, some guys
are gonna separate themselves and really earn some spots going
ahead to him and a good practice, especially at that wing,
there can be him, uh with you know, we don't
mention o Way much from Oklahoma. That's gonna be some
good defense. Whoever comes in to fill that scoring role.
(19:05):
I gink it's gonna be a battle behind the scenes.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Too, So that's good news. We'll see how that plays out. Now.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
The other thing I wouldn't have mentioned is John Wong.
You know John Wall, doctor Wong. No, that's Michael.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
His brother's John.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
But he's not a doctor.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
He's a doctor Orthodontis, they're both.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
That's not a real doctor. That's not as I'm just kidding.
Orthodonis is a real doctor. I actually didn't know he was.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Okay, So John Wall, okay, he he's the one that
comes to the games and he would like ask cal.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
All the question. Yes right. He tweeted this yesterday.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Man if DJ Wagner winds up at Arkansas and for
people who don't know what's looking like that may happen,
cal Perry's roster is going to be formidable for the
first time. I'm feeling some buyers remorse. Please someone talk.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Some sense into me. Now.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I like John Wall, clearly, clearly. I don't know what
his profession is. Uh shit, and Shannon, but I do
like John Wall. But here's what I would say to
John Wall. Grow a pair.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Wow, I mean wow, I'm serious. We can't be saying
stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
You are a member of the Kentucky media, a fan media,
which is different than like Kyle Tucker media.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
You can't be going out and saying you have buyer's remorse.
He's gone and he left, and do not make us
look weak with that nonsense.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
First of all, okay, he'll have DJ Wagner. I think
DJ is gonna be good. I hope he is good.
I like the kid. But you know when Elsie had
a good roster last year last year, Yeah, you know what,
it was a roster he had that's better than the
one he's gonna have this year. Last year last year,
and we lost. Not only did we lose to Oakland,
we lost eleven games. It wasn't like we got crazy upset.
(21:03):
We weren't good before then, really.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
Lost three in a row.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Roup lost three in a row.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
At Roup lost to Texas A and M by about
forty five in the SEC tournament. So stop John Wong
making us look like that.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Because of course Arkansas fans all retweet that and go
say even the Kentucky media stop it. Our fan base
needs to toughen up.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
He's not coming back, and stop whining over a girlfriend
that's left. It's annoying. It annoys me. When I saw that,
I wanted to call John Wong, and then I knew
if I did.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
He just talked.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
He just tried to talk to me about how great
Trump is. And I didn't want to listen to that
last night. But somebody needs to tell John Wong and
all those folks calm down and realize we're gonna be fine.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:51):
I'm confused because I thought we didn't want the roster
that Colt has at Arkansas.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
I did not want it at all.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
Have good good luck at Arksas. I like what we
have here.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
I'm not in the camp of oh wild Cow got
Boogie Flynn good for cal that I didn't want that.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Here he has only three of the five dudes he
had coming here. Then he brings in the guys that
were on the bench for us and Wagner, and he
added a do who's a good ad and John L. Davis,
who's not as good as Antonio Reeves. What makes you
think he's gonna be better? Like what I mean? Will
they be competitive?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Sure? But what makes people think they're gonna better?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, you said what I'm gonna say. DJ and A
Due probably should have been coming off the bench all year. Yes,
And so now if they're over there in Arkansas.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Will they be better?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Sure, those guys, Yeah, but this freshman class is nowhere
as good as our freshman class. Reeves is better than
John L. Davis, and ad might be a little better
than Mitchell. But it's not crazy matter.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Yeah, So come on, John, toughen up.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
We'll take a break, doctor Johnson, doctor John Good or
the donast TJ. Smith personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll
make them pay.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Here's Matt Jones, all right to be fair to the
good doctor orthodonist. He later tweeted, after a temporary moment
of weakness and doubt, I've regained my sanity. These replies
were the best thing, best therapy money could buy. Bb
in is the best. I didn't see that well.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
He did grow up here quickly.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Yeah, but I guess he did well.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
He didn't it first, and I wanted to make I
guess he took the advice I gave him before I
gave it Drew, So that's better.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Sometimes you just need to air something out on Twitter,
get roasted, to hear all the other opinions and realize
you're just just you had a moment there.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I'm not looking forward to the when the season starts
and they win. Yes, people on are fan base freaking out. Yes,
and we can predict that going to happen.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
It's gonna happen. But remember he left. That's the thing.
I just have to keep saying.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Stop acting like we we didn't break up with him.
Mitch Parnhart went on TV and affirmed his commitment to him.
He broke up with us, right, so now you can't
cry about it.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
That's why I said, I feel like that's why Kentucky
has to win that first matchup. They have to win that.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You really think that's that. I mean, obviously I want
to win. It would be the best win. It would
be the exciting, it would be the great.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
But you really think they have to I think for
the people that are jumping off the canoe quickly, we.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Didn't even play the game. How can we jump off
the canoe?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well, like just when cal Perry signs a guy and
he gets some stuff like, oh my goodness, you know
he's gonna kill us.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
We've signed nine guys.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I know.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I just I keep up with it. I just don't
have that jealousy because whatever he does, he wasn't gonna
do here.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
That's the key.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
No matter what he he could win the championship next year,
and that doesn't mean there was gonna be It wasn't
gonna happen and we just surrendered it. No, it wasn't
gonna happen here. If he goes undefeated at Arkansas, I mean,
it'll be hard to watch. But that doesn't mean if
he had stayed, he was gonna go undefeated.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
UK. He got a reset on everything, just like uh,
Kentucky did.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Yeah, it's like my marriage analogy.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
The couple that had stopped being in love with each other, Shannon,
the man got fat and lace. If he, after the
divorce decides to hire a trainer and get in shape,
that's nice. But he was gonna stay fat and lazy
if we married. If we stayed married.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Now he's pushing and pulling. He's got a nice, nice
pushing in pulland that's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
And he's like, okay, maybe some botox, Like im.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Oh, good to get a little little botox.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Now, I mean that's but but but you're exactly but, Drew,
that's the key point. It wasn't gonna happen here.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
I think a lot of people just see what he's doing,
like that's what we would have had if he had
just stayed. That's not the case. He has more nil
support there he himself. I'm not around him, but it
seems even though he seems sad at times, he's got
some new energy just to stick it to Kentucky thinks.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars so far in UH
in aile and we raised forty thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It's amazing the amount of money that has been donated
since that started.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
And do you think if he had stayed that forty
would have gone to seven fifty?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
No, No, it wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
It would No, it wouldn't. Who's up? First, ship, Mike? Mike?
Go ahead, Mike, Yes, first time caller here.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
How's it going?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Who are good? UH?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Got two things if that's okay.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
First Off, I want to put the script from basketball
to football.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Do you think Stoops has reached his peak? What do
we need to do to keep him? And Two, I
would like.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
To send out an invite you guys play and our
golf scramble on.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Softball team we got going on. Well, I will be
in Europe, so I can't play. I won't be able
to make that commute, but you would. But if you
want to send the info to Drew and Ryan, you can't.
It'll probably be hard to do that. But uh, But
as far as your first question, I appreciate the call.
Has he peaked?
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Well, what depends on what you mean by that question. Okay,
Do I think it's likely that Kentucky has a better
season than the two ten and three seasons they've had.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
No, I don't. I think though they can do that again.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
And I think if Stoops has quote unquote peaked, it's
still the most success we've.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Ever had here in my entire life. And so I
ad met Ryan.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I get defensive at the Stoops critics, like should we
have won more games last year?
Speaker 7 (27:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Probably, But the idea that it's that we've pet we are,
it's like there's no perspective on what we've been throughout
our history.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
We're just a couple of years removed from having two
and ten seasons back to back, back to back. Think
about that, and now even next year's team, I think
maybe his most talented team he's had in through five
or six years.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
And Gavin Wims that committed that's awesome. Is that the best?
That's the best the quarterbacks rooms spent since win don't.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
I don't know there's an answer, because your back up.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
I mean, your fourth string is probably Cutter Bowley, who's
gonna be a great starter here one day.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Your backup guy just started nineteen games in the Big Ten.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah, I mean true, that's you know, we we've put
three straight running backs in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Right, I don't know. You know, Vince is prone to hyperbole,
but Vince thinks we're gonna.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Have nine guys drafted next year. Now, let's just do
the Vince mill filter. Cut it in half.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah, still five or six? Yeah? Right?
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Like, I mean, come on, yeah, with the quarterbacks, we
still don't know what they'll be at Kentucky because they're
all new except for bow Allen haven't been here before.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
But outside of.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
When you had like a Lorenzen shame Boyd battles this,
the depth of the room hasn't been what it is
that I will, I mean that does honestly surprised a
guy like Gavin wimsit has started so many games, will
accept that role, and it sounds like he kind of knows.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
How what do you think about Gavin Wims it coming.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
I mean, like you just brought in as a backup
a guy who, as you said, has areded nineteen Big
Ten games. People are saying, well, he would have was
gonna get beat out at Rutgers. Okay, he's beat out here,
but he's sure a lot better option than most of
the backups we've had over the years.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Bush Hampden was on the Tom Leads Show this morning. Okay,
he said something I thought was very interesting. He said,
we're looking at ways we're gonna get both these guys
on the field at the same time. And I'm like, whoa,
what does that mean. I think he's talking about.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
You, not at the same play.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah, yes, he said that.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
I think he was talking about in goal line situations.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, okay, he.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Said, in goal line maybe a few quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I don't know, we don't know who game they're both
gonna get under center and you don't know which one
gets the ball.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
He wasn't the hits off of Brock vandergriff By throwing
them out there makes sense?
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Yeah, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
It seems they hosted a visit and ended up not committing.
You see, LA quarterback for his name started with p
but he was a runner. Then they bring in Whimsy
when they weren't really looking at him. It seems the
offense is going to have a lot of using the
mobile quarterback. I think you don't just want to be
a scenario where vandergriff is taking all that hits.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
You're getting an elite duel threat.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
But I also think people, you know, I I had
somebody ask the other day how good the football team
going to be. I think it's going to be better
than it was last year, But I don't know what
the record's going to be because I think the schedule
is much harder. So much of college football as wreck
is scheduled, Like I you know, if Kentucky played Louisville
(30:25):
schedule last year, they probably go ten and two as well.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
But so much a college football ryan is scheduled.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, I think that's fair. I think this could be
a better overall team, and the record may be the same,
if not even worse because of the schedule. Next year,
when you're playing as all miss at Texas at I.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Mean, we were seven and five, you think we'd go
six and six.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I don't think they would because they're they're they're.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Missouri's good Missouri's But we don't play them though, right,
I actually think we don't play them.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Don'tlay Missouri next year?
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
I think we replaced them with like old miss or something.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
At Ole miss for the second year in a row,
back to back road trips to all.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
That's bogus. It's bogus. We have to play them back
to back. Who's next?
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Aaron Aaron?
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Go ahead?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Erin Aaron Aaron, All right, let's try justin, Justin, go ahead, justin.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Yes. I have two things about the football. I think
how good our season is going to be mainly comes
down to discipline because we were so undisciplined last year,
and also a couple of coaching things that need to
be changed. But then my other my question is are
you gonna have a segment with Freddy magret On because
one of the things I look forward to is when
(31:40):
he talks about the one player that everybody should look
forward to, and we'll see he also doubts to rest too.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Yeah, we'll see everybody. Keep Freddy and your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Uh U in prayers over over this summer.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
I appreciate the call.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
What was his first question? He said, this one. Oh sorry,
I got distracted. I got a text message.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Uh, very funny one.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I got a text message from from Vince that is
assuring me we have at least eight guys dressed.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
All right. If you say I believe you, I'm not.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna counter.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I mean, it's when you look out the players that
are on this roster. It there's a lot of NFL
talent on This.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Tells me there's gonna be eight drafted. Then there's gonna
be a drafted maybe twenty, could be seven.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Maybe just you.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Want to look at Vince and say it's only seven? Sure,
don't you want?
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I think you know, if we're just spinballing?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
All right?
Speaker 4 (32:42):
So I think they believe that Barry Brown, I mean,
I don't have to believe it looks like he's going
in the top ten. Maxwell Harriston, yes, And and Dan
Walker I'm sorry, And then Barry and Brown. They believe
those three guys have a chance to all be like
top two rounds. Then you throw in who else is
(33:03):
on there? Probably Dane is one of them.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Who else do you throw Brock vander Griff in the mix?
Speaker 4 (33:09):
I think, well, is he gonna be with one or
two years. But I think, I mean, I think he's
got a good shot.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Maxwell Harriston, Yeah, I said him, Well.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
You got a couple of alignment.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
I think maybe if you're listening events, you tell me
which ones, because I'm not gonna I'm not gonna argue.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Well, you know, he's got at least three tight ends
in the nine.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
So caddisdus caddus. Yeah, yeah, No, that can happen. It
could have.
Speaker 4 (33:36):

Speaker 4 (34:38):
SKay, sorry man, that back, welcome back, Thank you Sports
radio podcast.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Derek Jackson, definitely, he's got to be in the mix.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
The kid that transferred from Georgia, the linebacker, its name
is not Dumas Walker, it's Doomas Johnson.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Uh, train him the running back from Ohio State.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Yeah, so maybe he's right. Yeah, I'm I'm taking him
up on the eight.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I it'll be the greatest day in UK football history.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
No, don't say that.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Explain to me, Drew, how Zach Edie throws such a
terrible first pitch.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
It's really amazing that most of our worst first pitches
in history are arg basketball players. It's got to be something.
Did they just were they so focused on basketball they
never threw anything else.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Somebody told me Zach Edie pitched in high school. That can't.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Through my goodness, I didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
That can't be true.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
But I just know the ball looked like a ping
pong ball in our hands.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
I understand that. But here's I'm Withdrew. Here's what I
don't understand. How do these dudes, John wall Obama's.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
A good athlete, Edie, how do these I understand why
Mariah Carey makes the pitch she makes? Okay, I get that, but.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
How do these people who grew up being athletes not
know how to throw a baseball. I'm not even asking
for a strike. I'm asking not for something embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yeah, just get it or get it there, not bouncing
it or throwing it way up. I don't get it either.
And if you're telling me, Zachie he used to be
a pitcher in high school, that makes it even worse.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Shannon, how did how can they not? I mean, like,
if you put me out there, I'm not saying I'm
gonna throw it, great, but I'm not gonna do that. Like,
how does that happen?
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Yeah, especially for somebody who used to pitch, that's that's
hard to explain.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
I mean, if he never played baseball.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
You know, you're used to dealing with a basketball, which
is a lot bigger. You know, I could see how
it could be different.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Even if you had never played. If you are an athlete,
you know how.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
To throw a ball, right, Yeah, I don't care what
sport it is, your dog, I mean, you know how to.
Speaker 8 (36:50):
Do I.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Guess I understand he's seven four. I get he's throwing
a ping pong ball to him.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
But if you asked me to row a golf ball,
all right, which maybe that's the equivalent, Yeah, I'm not
gonna do that.
Speaker 6 (37:06):
That's why it's so crazy. Like John Wallas was horrible.
I watched the video of Jack Golkie throwing a football.
It's just fresh after he had done what he did
in Kentucky. I mean it looked like he had never
held a football in his life. It was like, how
are you so good at shooting in basketball? But a
football is so foreign toy?
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Which gets to the question as you hear about what
Austin Rivers said.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I don't think I heard this.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Austin Rivers said, you could take thirty dudes from the NBA,
and with a little training, they could play in the NFL,
but you could not take thirty dudes from the NFL
and they could play in the NBA. The NFL people
lost their minds. Dan Orlovsky like wrote one hundred people
he said could play in the NBA. NFL people lost
(37:47):
their minds. But I'm gonna go ahead and say, and
I think Austin Rivers is a goober, but he's right.
Their football, while skill is a huge part of it,
is something that the skill can be taught if you're
very athletic in basketball, if you can't shoot or dribble,
you can't shoot or dribble.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
So to me, it would be.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
A lot easier to get the thirty best basketball players
that the thirty guys that could play in the You
could find thirty guys in the NBA who could show
up on a football field and they would do much
better than thirty guys in the NFL would do on
a basketball court.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
See that's where my mind went. You know, throwing the
ball and catching the ball is one thing. But want
to put these talented athletic NBA guys on defense, at.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Cornerback or at tight end tight end, that's where it
would work. Just put them at tight end. I mean,
think about think about how many dudes who've done that.
Tony Gonzalez and Tonio Gates. Put Lebron at tight end, right,
Put dudes like that at tight end, or get somebody
really fast to be a receiver. I don't expect them
to be able to understand like defensive schemes or offensive schemes,
(38:55):
but to be able to play the positions that you
just go and do it. Whereas in basketball, none of
these dudes are gonna.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
Be able to shoot like those guys in the NBA.
Speaker 7 (39:04):
Or ball handling.
Speaker 6 (39:05):
Yeah, I don't want to diminish a tight end to
only running and catching the ball, because there's a lot
more to that. But for this exercise, you could take
one of the best NBA players say stand here, here's.
Speaker 7 (39:14):
The route you're gonna run. We're gonna throw it high.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
They're gonna be able to go catch that ball, as
opposed you're giving a football player of basketball saying take
your man off the dribble.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
All these NFL dudes are offended, but they're wrong, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I think that a lot of probably played basketball in
high school and probably think they can still play at
the NBA at all. They can't.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
They'd be good.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
I met a lot of them are a good basketball player,
but not to play in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
NBA that's a different world, no.
Speaker 6 (39:38):
I mean, also, you're one of five on the court,
there's one of eleven. You can blend in a little
better too, and just stick to the one thing you're
you're supposed to do now there.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
Don't get me wrong, there are dudes in the NFL
that are insanely athletic, like Justin Jefferson or even a
dude like Travis Kelce. That's a very but the best
athletes in the world are in the NBA, yes, right,
Like the things those dudes can do athletically. The NFL
may have a handful of guys like that, but the NBA,
the whole league's like that. Outside of a handful of people, right.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
There's a lot of NBA guys I would love to
see play NFL and not so much back like think
of Anthony Edwards as a safety or really Anthony Edwards
anywhere with his athleticism. And then of course the easy
ones say you said the tight ends.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Let me get example, DJ Burns at NC State. What
did everybody say about him he should go try out
for the NFL?
Speaker 5 (40:26):
Yes, right, did anybody.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Go and say, hey, you know, Drake May, you should
go try out for the NBA. No, no, no, they
dj Burns. They were like, you may have never played,
but your body could make this work.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
I don't know if it could or not, but that's
what people were saying. Nobody says that about football player.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
No, there were gms calling about Chuck Hayes if you'd
be interested in maybe trying football, you're right. Nobody called
Rich Brooks in the football office. See if some guys
wanted to try to play basketball.
Speaker 6 (40:57):
Who was the guy at Western that became like a lineman.
I mean a lot of guys become lineman. No uh fan,
no fan, George, George. But the fans there's a there's
a Juco basketball player that played for my cousin that
became an offensive lineman from from basketball to.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
The just recently, the guy that transferred from b YU
or from or whoever, Arizona whatever, he transferred to Utah
to play football. He was a basketball player and he
is switching sports in the middle of college to play football.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
That doesn't happen the other way. Zach Ebie was a
high school pitcher and he was.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
That awful man your muscle memory can't disappear that quick,
can't it in four or five years?
Speaker 6 (41:39):
That to be an actual pitcher and throw it like that,
that's hard to explain. Pre game too hard or something.
I mean, he missed, he missed everything on that thro I.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Mean Marii Carrey's the one, the Mariah Carey and the
former mayor of Cincinnati. Those are the two worst ones
of all time. Was a bad one by but Zach
Evey's in the conversation John Wallers and the fact that
he was a high school pitcher puts him on the
list that he might go to number one, Right, how
can it be that?
Speaker 5 (42:09):
Imagine getting up the.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Pitch and or hitting high school and there's a seven
foot four guy throwing a ball to you.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
No, that would be scary. We'll take a break, come
back a number two. It's ks R

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Wednesday, May the eighth.
I'm Matt Jones here on Wingsday at Ksbar Dollar Wings
All Day. We are here at the Vahalla Golf Course
where the PGA Championship will take place next week. And
you can give shown the Clark's Puppy Shop phone line
eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
(00:58):
A Vision Auto Glass text machine is seven seven two
four five two five four in this distion sponsored by
the TJ.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Smith Office. If you call TJ He'll make them.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Pay we are in the new the merchandise tent, and
I would say by tent, I mean massive facility here
at Valhalla for the PGA where on Friday, beginning Friday
morning at nine, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you can come
out here from nine to six and shop for Valhalla
(01:27):
PGA Championship merchandise before it goes on sale to the
general public. So you can come and get what you
would like before the masses come out here.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
For the tournament, you go to Highview Baptist Church, which
is across the street. You park, they'll bring you over
on a little bus and you can come into this facility.
And I'll just first by start by saying, Ryan, can
you believe this place like this is like as somebody said,
this is like a Dick's Sporting Goods, but it's temporary
(01:58):
for one week for a golf tournament.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's amazing because they brought us all through the back
loading dock and you come through the loading dock, all
of a sudden you come in this facility. You're like, Nah,
it's massive. This is like a massive golf store. Like
you said, Dix is a good comparison.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I mean no, it's that big. It's as big as
like a Dick's Sporting Goods. It's all like shirts and
hats and all the various things golfers wear. I'm gonna
make a prediction that Drew spends fifteen to two thousand.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
I'm in trouble. I like a good golf merchandise store.
I've never had early access to one. Usually I'm at
the tournament fighting crowds carrying it around.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
But this early access.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
I don't know if they have shopping carts, but I'm
gonna need one when the show's over.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, so we get to shop when it's over. We're
gonna be like the first people to shop here, so
you get your selection before they sell out of your sizes.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
And it's all here.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
But but for those of you that are listening, if
you come Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you will actually beat
the average fan here for all the stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
And they have like Nike, what is it, Peter Mallar.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Lulu, Ryan Lemon, Cutter, and Buck which isn't that the
show that comes on after this.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
With your go to brand, run big shopper. I'm Peter Malarga.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm a Lululemon, you know I support the family brand.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Do you spend that kind of money on clothes? I mean,
Lululemon's expensive, It's very expensive. You know.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I like spending, you know, a couple hundred dollars for
a pair of shorts.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
So the answer is, no, you don't do that. I
see you wore a polo shirt so you could fit
in at the golf course.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I felt like, you know, I needed to at least
look the part of someone of them.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I did not wear a hoodie, and I kind of
wish I did because I thought that too on the
right over. Out of all the times, I was like,
wear a hoodie to the golf course. And now it's
dad is a little cold out here. I bet they've
got some here. You could probably one. Yeah, No, they
have hoodies here. I've already I've alreadyound the one I'm getting. Okay, yeah,
so uh so, anyway, we're out here. Thank you to
(03:56):
the PGA for having us. We'll be doing our show
here at the PGA on Thursday and Friday of next week.
And it's nice. It's nice of them to host. It's
also neat to see a major golf tournament at a
course that that I've played and that like you can
kind of go.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Oh. When I was on this hole, i hit it
out of bouts.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
I was telling our shuttle just how it feels so real,
Like the scoreboards are going up, the video board, the
stands are one thing, but all the other stuff starts
coming in.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
It's right here.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Yeah, it's weird to see all that.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
You know, they got to you got all the scoreboards
and all that, and and Shannon, they have all the
volunteers out here.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
They're the people you know who walk around and hold
the little things that say, you know, like Tiger too
under and those people.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
They all do it for free. Okay, so they all
agree for free to stand there and hold the little
sign that says quite please. And I was thinking I
would do that. Yeah, that's what I'm sure Drew would
do that. Oh Ryan, would you do that?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I might do it one day. I'm not going to
do it for four days.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
You don't think it would be fun to do that?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I think that might get a little shit, And I
feel like there's no way you would do right, not
for free.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Absolutely, Look, my time's worth money. You want me to
hold that sign, you better pay me something. I'm not
doing it for free.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
What if you got to shush people though all day
you get to tell people to shush.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, no, I don't even want to deal with those people,
so I wouldn't say you gotta pay me if I'm
gonna do that.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Not doing it.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Get a free shirt, those Shining shirt a.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Ton of free shirts. It's true.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
We get a free shirt all the time. So it's
perfect for you because you would get a free shirt.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
See, they could be a free shirt, different one every day.
I might volunteer for all four days.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
So Mario is here. He's going to take a video
of this of this uh you know this place. Yeah, Mario,
we are on the air. That's correct. He's gonna take
a video and walk around so you'll be able to
see what it looks like in all the various options.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
So we had our first road trip with Mario today.
It was a big deal.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
So I heard he got in your car and your
car your back seat is full of dog hair covered
in dog hair.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yes, I picked up yoga girls dog yesterday from doggy daycare,
had it in the back seat and forgot. So then
these guys get in this morning, their dog care everywhere.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
That's kind of gross, right, I agree, So why didn't you?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Why didn't you? Why didn't you clean it up?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I didn't think about it. I honestly did not think
about it until we opened the door to get ready
to get in, like, oh, I got a lot of dogs.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
This is the first time he's been on the road
with you. Did he enjoy it? You know?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
We did the standard road trip stuff, go through McDonald's
drive through, but he didn't order anything.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
He's gonna learn. Man, he's healthy. He's a lot healthier
than we are. Well, there's a lot of stuff to
get to today. We will Uh, we're out here. If
you happened, well, I guess you can't come in here.
I was gonna say you could come say hello, but
you can't. But let's start with I think the big
news from yesterday continues to be roster news. Trent Noah
(06:49):
of Harlan County has agreed or is entering the well
because it's not the transfer portal. He got South Carolina
to allow him out of his national letter of intent
and now he will consider going to other schools. This
(07:09):
is something I kind of heard could happen last week
that he was considering it. What was interesting is because
he had signed. It's unlike the transfer portal. Because he
had signed a national letter of intent, schools could not
contact him, so he had to almost fly blind to
decide whether or not to do this. Now, I'm told
that there will be three schools that are the primary
(07:31):
recruiters for him, Kentucky, Louisville, and Tennessee, basically all the
three schools around there. I suspect Kentucky is the heavy favorite,
but I will say I think Tennessee and Louisville have
much more of a chance than folks think.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I still think he's gonna go to Kentucky, don't get
me wrong.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
And I think if you're gonna bet, you're gonna bet
on him being a cat. But Louisville and Tennessee have
been you know, they're really interested. But first of all,
what about the news that he's out of the South
Carolina thing.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The way they worded it to pursue interest closer to home.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Well, those three are all closer to home.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
All three closer to home, So you knew it was
probably gonna be that was gonna be the case, but
it would just be a perfect adding to this storybook. Ending.
He went took Harlan to the championship game County Arley County, right,
Horny County, massive state tournament where he just was lighting
it up, one of the top scores in the history
of high school basketball. You pair him up with the
(08:29):
most prolific scorer in high school basketball Kentucky for four years.
It's just a storybook part to this.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
You know, I'm excited because we.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Went thirty you know, thirty five years without ever having
anyone from the thirteenth region on UK and now we're
going to get two and back to back seasons, which
is crazy. So the first question everybody always has drew
when they talk about from the state, is Kenny play Kentucky.
(08:59):
I had never seen him in person until the state tournament.
And I had had people in Harlem and say to me,
a lot of friends in Harlan, go, Matt, this kid's
good enough. And I one of these days I'm gonna learn.
I was like, yeah, okay, gotcha. But then when I
was at the state tournament, he is. Now he's you know,
(09:23):
he's gonna have to work like this is not reed Shepherd,
And I think people need to understand that Reid was
athletically ready moment one to play at Kentucky.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I'm not one.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Hundred percent sure that's true of this kid, but as
a scorer, he had what forty eight in a game
in the state tournament. At the game I saw him,
he had thirty seven or thirty eight and was awesome.
That semi final game against against UH was against evangel.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
That they beat. Yes, yes, he was unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
He got a little tired in the championship game a
little bit because you know, he played two games in
one day. But yes, I do think he can play
at Kentucky. I don't think you bring him in thinking
he's going to start right away, but he would be.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I really want to see him in Lexity. Me too.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
When this team's had one player on it, Travis Perry,
I kept saying, there's a name I'm watching that no
one is saying. And I still think there's a good
chance for this. It's been Trenton Noah since the moment
Pope got the job. I was hoping he would give
Pope Noah this opportunity. I've watched this kid because through
a friend, since he was a sophomore high school. Hearing
about I've never thought to Kentucky's level. They've at least
(10:26):
known that when he signed with South Carolina that might
be a goer running into and now I love the
potential of having a little East versus West, or not verse,
but east and West in your freshman class.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
If well, you have two of the five, the two
of the five biggest scores in Kentucky history are in
the class this year, and for them both to come
they played for the state championship, and then for the
two of them to both end up at Kentucky would
be an awesome story. And I think when you're looking
at filling out your roster, okay, because I think Pope,
(10:56):
unlike Cal's, gonna try to use all or nearly all
of his scholarships most years. When you're looking at filling
out the roster, when you're looking at continuity over time,
I think he makes a lot of sense as an addition,
And clearly, if I mean, if South Carolina had already
gotten him and Louisville and Tennessee want him, I think
(11:16):
the people are like, well, is he good enough to
play at UK? Yes, we've been brainwashed into this mindset.
And I was as guilty as anybody of it. Of
you have to be a top fifty recruiter. You can't
play here. Let's just take a dude like a due
theero a due the arrow was none of that. And
I think we all agreed he was a good piece
(11:37):
to have on the team. I think Trent, Noah, he's not.
He didn't play like a dude, but that there's no
reason he can't be like that, be that good.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, he's not the guy that maybe fit the way
cal Perry no, can't even talk to him. No, But
for Mark Pope, the way Pope likes to play, he's
a better fit. So that's why I think the things
that have changed a little bit. So we're all gonna
be very, very excited if this does happen, and I
hope it does.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Athletic, he might have a ways to go, but he's
a legit six six with some ball ball. I mean,
that's a big dude. He's much. It's gonna be natural.
Two kids from the thirteenth region, two white kids from
the mountains. They're gonna get compared to each other. Yes,
reed Is is much more.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Athletic, Yes he is. Noah's bigger though, yes he is.
I mean Noah is like, uh, you know, you're not
gonna be able to push him around. I mean he's
from Harlan, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I mean the difference between Red and Noah is a
little bit like the difference between London and Harlan.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Bro That's fair, you know, fair.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
London's mountains kinda kind of city, kind of reads.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Mountains, kinda Harlan's mountain mountain. And I think Noah is
gonna be like that. I think that's I think it's
a it'll be that's what you're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Like Drew said, he's six six, he's over two hundred pounds.
He's got some good meat on that frame. He can
get in there and bang with a little bit too.
I mean he can shoot, Yeah, Like he can really shoot.
I mean that's the other thing. You know he shot
what he shoot four one or forty two percent from three?
You know, he and he and one things it's amazing
about he and Travis Perry both is not only do
(13:08):
they put up huge points, they put up huge points
shooting a good percentage.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
They both shot over forty percent from three when they
were in high school.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Yeah, And I don't know what he'll do in year one,
probably be a while for he is really a significant contributor.
But if you wanted Kentucky kids and players that are
stay more than a year, I mean, I don't know
he can ask more for having a Travis Perry to
Trenton Noah in the same class.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Yeah, Hope's first freshman.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
And you get one kid from Druz region and one
kid from my rega. When you gonna step up?
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Where are you at?
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Right?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Ya?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
We had Derek Willis came from Shannon's region.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
When when are you going to? When are you gonna
produce somebody?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm hoping next year We've got Jasper Johnson and Malachi Marina.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
You don't get every hometown, and I want somebody from
odd Well.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
We're gonna be waiting on.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
The team at some point.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
You're waiting a long time on that one A nine
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. The text machine
is seven seven to two four five two five four. We
are here at the PGA Merchandise Tent at Valhalla. They've
very kind to put us here. We'll take a break
and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Quarterback. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
How about this to volunteer for the PGA Championship not
only do you not get paid, you actually have to
pay two hundred and sixty five dollars. Why because they
can't we have to buy your shirts.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And so they don't even give you your shirt.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Let's try yelling, all right.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
I don't what it costs about it.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
You can't take him anywhere. I'm telling you no, I
get it. First of all, it's gonna cost to take
this stuff. Plus you know you got to keep out.
You know, you gotta keep out the riffer. You gotta
get people who are serious about it. So you're gonna
get people like our friend Larry Wood who want to
be out there, to be around the golfers.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
So you ask why, it's because they can't.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
If you told me I got to sit on a
t box, I would pay as much money as you
wanted to be here to do that.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
If I'm going to watch the yeah, if you get
to think about it, you get to walk inside the ropes,
yes you do. So how much is your ticket? Like
normally your take? I don't know what your tickets are,
but your tickets are probably about that. You essentially get
four days full of tickets for free, and you get
to be there and all you got to do is
carry that thing around, Shannon.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
When you look at it like that, it's a deal.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, especially if you enjoy being out there, right, I
mean yeah exactly.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
So I didn't.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I didn't know it costs, but it actually makes sense
to me. Maybe you shouldn't be so hasty.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Waiting list for AUGUSTA is like fifty years. People get
approved when they're.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
They get approved before they die.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Yeah, you get a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So is this customary all these major golf courses volunteers
have to pay.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I'm sure for the majors.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I don't know about for the everyday tournaments, but I
would say for the majors. Cause again, if I told
you you'd have a shot to walk right next to Tiger,
you wouldn't want to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I don't know if I'd do it for two one
hundred and seventy five dollars.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
No way a minute. If I told you, give me
two hundred and seventy five dollars and you will get
to walk eighteen holes inside the ropes for me to
you with Tiger Woods to watch him play golf tournament.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
You're getting his score, you're keeping his score. And if
you get it wrong, he loses you. Ooh, that's a
lot of pressure.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
He's keeping it to multiple You wouldn't do.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It in that scenario? I definitely would.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Okay, so you do it for Tiger? Would you do
it for Rory?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
No? J post you wouldn't do it for I would
do it for JT posting just because of Fleener? Wait,
why wouldn't you do it for Uh? You know he
and I we don't have a good chemistry. Tiger and
I have got a good chemi.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Would you do it for Phil?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
That might be interesting.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
There's only one guy I would be willing to do
it for.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Who's that John Daly?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
He's my favorite.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Es He won this that's right, he won this one,
So he does do this one? That's right?
Speaker 4 (16:52):
This is one that he uh that he does? All right,
let me go back to basketball for a second, because
of one other thing we need to talk about. Okay,
Matt Norlander, who again, I keep saying this when it
comes to national guys talking about Kentucky basketball at least now.
This may change over time, but right now, if it
comes from Matt Noorlander or Jeff Goodman, I'm gonna listen
(17:14):
because I think they have a relationship with the guys
on this staff. Matt Norlander said on his podcast that
North Florida guard Chas Lanier, he thinks Kentucky leads for
that kid. Now, this is a kid that average nineteen
points a game, probably is one of the six or
eight people left in the portal.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
That's the best. Maybe even more than that, maybe four
to five of the best. And Kentucky if they get him,
I think they still want to get Jackson Robinson.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
But it gives you a little breathing room droof you
don't get him, Yeah, because I think this Kittles. He
could start watching his highlights. They're insane.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
And then I think it was an interview a parent,
someone will talking about how they want to go to
a school with more exposure to get into the NBA.
Entucky seems like a pretty good spot. I know, Jackson
Robinson's the name we've been thinking about all along as
he waits for his NBA decision. But if you got
a Jaslinier ready to go, I think maybe you look
at Jackson say which way you lean in because we
have one more ready to take.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Well, they wanted two more impact pieces. I think they
sort of. I think when I was kind of aware
of what they were going to do. I don't think
I think they thought Lanier was going to go to Tennessee.
But if they're able to convince him to go to Kentucky,
I mean Tennessee, was you know, wanting to bring him
in as a starter. I think he would come in
Ryan and almost certainly start right away.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
They would definitely load up the back court that with
the four guys they've already gotten. He added him to
the as a piece. That's a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
And he's a scorer, which is I still think they're
missing a scorer. This is a score.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I love that he's a score and I'm really just
impressed with the pieces. I know you still want someone
that's more of a premier name, but they have a
lot of depth for these practices. These guys, some guys
are gonna separate themselves and really earn some spots going
ahead to him and a good practice, especially at that wing,
there can be him, uh with you know, we don't
mention o Way much from Oklahoma. That's gonna be some
good defense. Whoever comes in to fill that scoring role.
(19:05):
I gink it's gonna be a battle behind the scenes.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Too, So that's good news. We'll see how that plays out. Now.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
The other thing I wouldn't have mentioned is John Wong.
You know John Wall, doctor Wong. No, that's Michael.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
His brother's John.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
But he's not a doctor.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
He's a doctor Orthodontis, they're both.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
That's not a real doctor. That's not as I'm just kidding.
Orthodonis is a real doctor. I actually didn't know he was.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Okay, So John Wall, okay, he he's the one that
comes to the games and he would like ask cal.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
All the question. Yes right. He tweeted this yesterday.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Man if DJ Wagner winds up at Arkansas and for
people who don't know what's looking like that may happen,
cal Perry's roster is going to be formidable for the
first time. I'm feeling some buyers remorse. Please someone talk.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Some sense into me. Now.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I like John Wall, clearly, clearly. I don't know what
his profession is. Uh shit, and Shannon, but I do
like John Wall. But here's what I would say to
John Wall. Grow a pair.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Wow, I mean wow, I'm serious. We can't be saying
stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
You are a member of the Kentucky media, a fan media,
which is different than like Kyle Tucker media.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
You can't be going out and saying you have buyer's remorse.
He's gone and he left, and do not make us
look weak with that nonsense.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
First of all, okay, he'll have DJ Wagner. I think
DJ is gonna be good. I hope he is good.
I like the kid. But you know when Elsie had
a good roster last year last year, Yeah, you know what,
it was a roster he had that's better than the
one he's gonna have this year. Last year last year,
and we lost. Not only did we lose to Oakland,
we lost eleven games. It wasn't like we got crazy upset.
(21:03):
We weren't good before then, really.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
Lost three in a row.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Roup lost three in a row.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
At Roup lost to Texas A and M by about
forty five in the SEC tournament. So stop John Wong
making us look like that.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Because of course Arkansas fans all retweet that and go
say even the Kentucky media stop it. Our fan base
needs to toughen up.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
He's not coming back, and stop whining over a girlfriend
that's left. It's annoying. It annoys me. When I saw that,
I wanted to call John Wong, and then I knew
if I did.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
He just talked.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
He just tried to talk to me about how great
Trump is. And I didn't want to listen to that
last night. But somebody needs to tell John Wong and
all those folks calm down and realize we're gonna be fine.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:51):
I'm confused because I thought we didn't want the roster
that Colt has at Arkansas.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
I did not want it at all.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
Have good good luck at Arksas. I like what we
have here.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
I'm not in the camp of oh wild Cow got
Boogie Flynn good for cal that I didn't want that.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Here he has only three of the five dudes he
had coming here. Then he brings in the guys that
were on the bench for us and Wagner, and he
added a do who's a good ad and John L. Davis,
who's not as good as Antonio Reeves. What makes you
think he's gonna be better? Like what I mean? Will
they be competitive?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Sure? But what makes people think they're gonna better?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, you said what I'm gonna say. DJ and A
Due probably should have been coming off the bench all year. Yes,
And so now if they're over there in Arkansas.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Will they be better?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Sure, those guys, Yeah, but this freshman class is nowhere
as good as our freshman class. Reeves is better than
John L. Davis, and ad might be a little better
than Mitchell. But it's not crazy matter.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Yeah, So come on, John, toughen up.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
We'll take a break, doctor Johnson, doctor John Good or
the donast TJ. Smith personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll
make them pay.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Here's Matt Jones, all right to be fair to the
good doctor orthodonist. He later tweeted, after a temporary moment
of weakness and doubt, I've regained my sanity. These replies
were the best thing, best therapy money could buy. Bb
in is the best. I didn't see that well.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
He did grow up here quickly.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Yeah, but I guess he did well.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
He didn't it first, and I wanted to make I
guess he took the advice I gave him before I
gave it Drew, So that's better.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Sometimes you just need to air something out on Twitter,
get roasted, to hear all the other opinions and realize
you're just just you had a moment there.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I'm not looking forward to the when the season starts
and they win. Yes, people on are fan base freaking out. Yes,
and we can predict that going to happen.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
It's gonna happen. But remember he left. That's the thing.
I just have to keep saying.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Stop acting like we we didn't break up with him.
Mitch Parnhart went on TV and affirmed his commitment to him.
He broke up with us, right, so now you can't
cry about it.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
That's why I said, I feel like that's why Kentucky
has to win that first matchup. They have to win that.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You really think that's that. I mean, obviously I want
to win. It would be the best win. It would
be the exciting, it would be the great.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
But you really think they have to I think for
the people that are jumping off the canoe quickly, we.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Didn't even play the game. How can we jump off
the canoe?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well, like just when cal Perry signs a guy and
he gets some stuff like, oh my goodness, you know
he's gonna kill us.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
We've signed nine guys.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I know.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I just I keep up with it. I just don't
have that jealousy because whatever he does, he wasn't gonna
do here.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
That's the key.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
No matter what he he could win the championship next year,
and that doesn't mean there was gonna be It wasn't
gonna happen and we just surrendered it. No, it wasn't
gonna happen here. If he goes undefeated at Arkansas, I mean,
it'll be hard to watch. But that doesn't mean if
he had stayed, he was gonna go undefeated.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
UK. He got a reset on everything, just like uh,
Kentucky did.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Yeah, it's like my marriage analogy.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
The couple that had stopped being in love with each other, Shannon,
the man got fat and lace. If he, after the
divorce decides to hire a trainer and get in shape,
that's nice. But he was gonna stay fat and lazy
if we married. If we stayed married.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Now he's pushing and pulling. He's got a nice, nice
pushing in pulland that's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
And he's like, okay, maybe some botox, Like im.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Oh, good to get a little little botox.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Now, I mean that's but but but you're exactly but, Drew,
that's the key point. It wasn't gonna happen here.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
I think a lot of people just see what he's doing,
like that's what we would have had if he had
just stayed. That's not the case. He has more nil
support there he himself. I'm not around him, but it
seems even though he seems sad at times, he's got
some new energy just to stick it to Kentucky thinks.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars so far in UH
in aile and we raised forty thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It's amazing the amount of money that has been donated
since that started.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
And do you think if he had stayed that forty
would have gone to seven fifty?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
No, No, it wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
It would No, it wouldn't. Who's up? First, ship, Mike? Mike?
Go ahead, Mike, Yes, first time caller here.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
How's it going?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Who are good? UH?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Got two things if that's okay.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
First Off, I want to put the script from basketball
to football.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Do you think Stoops has reached his peak? What do
we need to do to keep him? And Two, I
would like.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
To send out an invite you guys play and our
golf scramble on.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Softball team we got going on. Well, I will be
in Europe, so I can't play. I won't be able
to make that commute, but you would. But if you
want to send the info to Drew and Ryan, you can't.
It'll probably be hard to do that. But uh, But
as far as your first question, I appreciate the call.
Has he peaked?
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Well, what depends on what you mean by that question. Okay,
Do I think it's likely that Kentucky has a better
season than the two ten and three seasons they've had.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
No, I don't. I think though they can do that again.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
And I think if Stoops has quote unquote peaked, it's
still the most success we've.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Ever had here in my entire life. And so I
ad met Ryan.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I get defensive at the Stoops critics, like should we
have won more games last year?
Speaker 7 (27:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Probably, But the idea that it's that we've pet we are,
it's like there's no perspective on what we've been throughout
our history.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
We're just a couple of years removed from having two
and ten seasons back to back, back to back. Think
about that, and now even next year's team, I think
maybe his most talented team he's had in through five
or six years.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
And Gavin Wims that committed that's awesome. Is that the best?
That's the best the quarterbacks rooms spent since win don't.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
I don't know there's an answer, because your back up.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
I mean, your fourth string is probably Cutter Bowley, who's
gonna be a great starter here one day.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Your backup guy just started nineteen games in the Big Ten.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah, I mean true, that's you know, we we've put
three straight running backs in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Right, I don't know. You know, Vince is prone to hyperbole,
but Vince thinks we're gonna.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Have nine guys drafted next year. Now, let's just do
the Vince mill filter. Cut it in half.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah, still five or six? Yeah? Right?
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Like, I mean, come on, yeah, with the quarterbacks, we
still don't know what they'll be at Kentucky because they're
all new except for bow Allen haven't been here before.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
But outside of.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
When you had like a Lorenzen shame Boyd battles this,
the depth of the room hasn't been what it is
that I will, I mean that does honestly surprised a
guy like Gavin wimsit has started so many games, will
accept that role, and it sounds like he kind of knows.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
How what do you think about Gavin Wims it coming.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
I mean, like you just brought in as a backup
a guy who, as you said, has areded nineteen Big
Ten games. People are saying, well, he would have was
gonna get beat out at Rutgers. Okay, he's beat out here,
but he's sure a lot better option than most of
the backups we've had over the years.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Bush Hampden was on the Tom Leads Show this morning. Okay,
he said something I thought was very interesting. He said,
we're looking at ways we're gonna get both these guys
on the field at the same time. And I'm like, whoa,
what does that mean. I think he's talking about.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
You, not at the same play.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah, yes, he said that.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
I think he was talking about in goal line situations.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, okay, he.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Said, in goal line maybe a few quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I don't know, we don't know who game they're both
gonna get under center and you don't know which one
gets the ball.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
He wasn't the hits off of Brock vandergriff By throwing
them out there makes sense?
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Yeah, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
It seems they hosted a visit and ended up not committing.
You see, LA quarterback for his name started with p
but he was a runner. Then they bring in Whimsy
when they weren't really looking at him. It seems the
offense is going to have a lot of using the
mobile quarterback. I think you don't just want to be
a scenario where vandergriff is taking all that hits.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
You're getting an elite duel threat.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
But I also think people, you know, I I had
somebody ask the other day how good the football team
going to be. I think it's going to be better
than it was last year, But I don't know what
the record's going to be because I think the schedule
is much harder. So much of college football as wreck
is scheduled, Like I you know, if Kentucky played Louisville
(30:25):
schedule last year, they probably go ten and two as well.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
But so much a college football ryan is scheduled.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, I think that's fair. I think this could be
a better overall team, and the record may be the same,
if not even worse because of the schedule. Next year,
when you're playing as all miss at Texas at I.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Mean, we were seven and five, you think we'd go
six and six.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I don't think they would because they're they're they're.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Missouri's good Missouri's But we don't play them though, right,
I actually think we don't play them.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Don'tlay Missouri next year?
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
I think we replaced them with like old miss or something.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
At Ole miss for the second year in a row,
back to back road trips to all.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
That's bogus. It's bogus. We have to play them back
to back. Who's next?
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Aaron Aaron?
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Go ahead?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Erin Aaron Aaron, All right, let's try justin, Justin, go ahead, justin.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Yes. I have two things about the football. I think
how good our season is going to be mainly comes
down to discipline because we were so undisciplined last year,
and also a couple of coaching things that need to
be changed. But then my other my question is are
you gonna have a segment with Freddy magret On because
one of the things I look forward to is when
(31:40):
he talks about the one player that everybody should look
forward to, and we'll see he also doubts to rest too.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Yeah, we'll see everybody. Keep Freddy and your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Uh U in prayers over over this summer.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
I appreciate the call.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
What was his first question? He said, this one. Oh sorry,
I got distracted. I got a text message.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Uh, very funny one.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I got a text message from from Vince that is
assuring me we have at least eight guys dressed.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
All right. If you say I believe you, I'm not.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna counter.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I mean, it's when you look out the players that
are on this roster. It there's a lot of NFL
talent on This.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Tells me there's gonna be eight drafted. Then there's gonna
be a drafted maybe twenty, could be seven.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Maybe just you.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Want to look at Vince and say it's only seven? Sure,
don't you want?
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I think you know, if we're just spinballing?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
All right?
Speaker 4 (32:42):
So I think they believe that Barry Brown, I mean,
I don't have to believe it looks like he's going
in the top ten. Maxwell Harriston, yes, And and Dan
Walker I'm sorry, And then Barry and Brown. They believe
those three guys have a chance to all be like
top two rounds. Then you throw in who else is
(33:03):
on there? Probably Dane is one of them.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Who else do you throw Brock vander Griff in the mix?
Speaker 4 (33:09):
I think, well, is he gonna be with one or
two years. But I think, I mean, I think he's
got a good shot.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Maxwell Harriston, Yeah, I said him, Well.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
You got a couple of alignment.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
I think maybe if you're listening events, you tell me
which ones, because I'm not gonna I'm not gonna argue.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Well, you know, he's got at least three tight ends
in the nine.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
So caddisdus caddus. Yeah, yeah, No, that can happen. It
could have.
Speaker 4 (33:36):

I'm going more than ten, going double digits, fourteen.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
We'll take a break. Be r it back.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
SKay, sorry man, that back, welcome back, Thank you Sports
radio podcast.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Derek Jackson, definitely, he's got to be in the mix.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
The kid that transferred from Georgia, the linebacker, its name
is not Dumas Walker, it's Doomas Johnson.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Uh, train him the running back from Ohio State.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Yeah, so maybe he's right. Yeah, I'm I'm taking him
up on the eight.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I it'll be the greatest day in UK football history.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
No, don't say that.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Explain to me, Drew, how Zach Edie throws such a
terrible first pitch.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
It's really amazing that most of our worst first pitches
in history are arg basketball players. It's got to be something.
Did they just were they so focused on basketball they
never threw anything else.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Somebody told me Zach Edie pitched in high school. That can't.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Through my goodness, I didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
That can't be true.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
But I just know the ball looked like a ping
pong ball in our hands.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
I understand that. But here's I'm Withdrew. Here's what I
don't understand. How do these dudes, John wall Obama's.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
A good athlete, Edie, how do these I understand why
Mariah Carey makes the pitch she makes? Okay, I get that, but.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
How do these people who grew up being athletes not
know how to throw a baseball. I'm not even asking
for a strike. I'm asking not for something embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yeah, just get it or get it there, not bouncing
it or throwing it way up. I don't get it either.
And if you're telling me, Zachie he used to be
a pitcher in high school, that makes it even worse.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Shannon, how did how can they not? I mean, like,
if you put me out there, I'm not saying I'm
gonna throw it, great, but I'm not gonna do that. Like,
how does that happen?
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Yeah, especially for somebody who used to pitch, that's that's
hard to explain.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
I mean, if he never played baseball.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
You know, you're used to dealing with a basketball, which
is a lot bigger. You know, I could see how
it could be different.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Even if you had never played. If you are an athlete,
you know how.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
To throw a ball, right, Yeah, I don't care what
sport it is, your dog, I mean, you know how to.
Speaker 8 (36:50):
Do I.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Guess I understand he's seven four. I get he's throwing
a ping pong ball to him.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
But if you asked me to row a golf ball,
all right, which maybe that's the equivalent, Yeah, I'm not
gonna do that.
Speaker 6 (37:06):
That's why it's so crazy. Like John Wallas was horrible.
I watched the video of Jack Golkie throwing a football.
It's just fresh after he had done what he did
in Kentucky. I mean it looked like he had never
held a football in his life. It was like, how
are you so good at shooting in basketball? But a
football is so foreign toy?
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Which gets to the question as you hear about what
Austin Rivers said.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I don't think I heard this.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Austin Rivers said, you could take thirty dudes from the NBA,
and with a little training, they could play in the NFL,
but you could not take thirty dudes from the NFL
and they could play in the NBA. The NFL people
lost their minds. Dan Orlovsky like wrote one hundred people
he said could play in the NBA. NFL people lost
(37:47):
their minds. But I'm gonna go ahead and say, and
I think Austin Rivers is a goober, but he's right.
Their football, while skill is a huge part of it,
is something that the skill can be taught if you're
very athletic in basketball, if you can't shoot or dribble,
you can't shoot or dribble.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
So to me, it would be.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
A lot easier to get the thirty best basketball players
that the thirty guys that could play in the You
could find thirty guys in the NBA who could show
up on a football field and they would do much
better than thirty guys in the NFL would do on
a basketball court.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
See that's where my mind went. You know, throwing the
ball and catching the ball is one thing. But want
to put these talented athletic NBA guys on defense, at.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Cornerback or at tight end tight end, that's where it
would work. Just put them at tight end. I mean,
think about think about how many dudes who've done that.
Tony Gonzalez and Tonio Gates. Put Lebron at tight end, right,
Put dudes like that at tight end, or get somebody
really fast to be a receiver. I don't expect them
to be able to understand like defensive schemes or offensive schemes,
(38:55):
but to be able to play the positions that you
just go and do it. Whereas in basketball, none of
these dudes are gonna.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
Be able to shoot like those guys in the NBA.
Speaker 7 (39:04):
Or ball handling.
Speaker 6 (39:05):
Yeah, I don't want to diminish a tight end to
only running and catching the ball, because there's a lot
more to that. But for this exercise, you could take
one of the best NBA players say stand here, here's.
Speaker 7 (39:14):
The route you're gonna run. We're gonna throw it high.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
They're gonna be able to go catch that ball, as
opposed you're giving a football player of basketball saying take
your man off the dribble.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
All these NFL dudes are offended, but they're wrong, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I think that a lot of probably played basketball in
high school and probably think they can still play at
the NBA at all. They can't.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
They'd be good.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
I met a lot of them are a good basketball player,
but not to play in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
NBA that's a different world, no.
Speaker 6 (39:38):
I mean, also, you're one of five on the court,
there's one of eleven. You can blend in a little
better too, and just stick to the one thing you're
you're supposed to do now there.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
Don't get me wrong, there are dudes in the NFL
that are insanely athletic, like Justin Jefferson or even a
dude like Travis Kelce. That's a very but the best
athletes in the world are in the NBA, yes, right,
Like the things those dudes can do athletically. The NFL
may have a handful of guys like that, but the NBA,
the whole league's like that. Outside of a handful of people, right.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
There's a lot of NBA guys I would love to
see play NFL and not so much back like think
of Anthony Edwards as a safety or really Anthony Edwards
anywhere with his athleticism. And then of course the easy
ones say you said the tight ends.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Let me get example, DJ Burns at NC State. What
did everybody say about him he should go try out
for the NFL?
Speaker 5 (40:26):
Yes, right, did anybody.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Go and say, hey, you know, Drake May, you should
go try out for the NBA. No, no, no, they
dj Burns. They were like, you may have never played,
but your body could make this work.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
I don't know if it could or not, but that's
what people were saying. Nobody says that about football player.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
No, there were gms calling about Chuck Hayes if you'd
be interested in maybe trying football, you're right. Nobody called
Rich Brooks in the football office. See if some guys
wanted to try to play basketball.
Speaker 6 (40:57):
Who was the guy at Western that became like a lineman.
I mean a lot of guys become lineman. No uh fan,
no fan, George, George. But the fans there's a there's
a Juco basketball player that played for my cousin that
became an offensive lineman from from basketball to.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
The just recently, the guy that transferred from b YU
or from or whoever, Arizona whatever, he transferred to Utah
to play football. He was a basketball player and he
is switching sports in the middle of college to play football.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
That doesn't happen the other way. Zach Ebie was a
high school pitcher and he was.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
That awful man your muscle memory can't disappear that quick,
can't it in four or five years?
Speaker 6 (41:39):
That to be an actual pitcher and throw it like that,
that's hard to explain. Pre game too hard or something.
I mean, he missed, he missed everything on that thro I.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Mean Marii Carrey's the one, the Mariah Carey and the
former mayor of Cincinnati. Those are the two worst ones
of all time. Was a bad one by but Zach
Evey's in the conversation John Wallers and the fact that
he was a high school pitcher puts him on the
list that he might go to number one, Right, how
can it be that?
Speaker 5 (42:09):
Imagine getting up the.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Pitch and or hitting high school and there's a seven
foot four guy throwing a ball to you.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
No, that would be scary. We'll take a break, come
back a number two. It's ks R
